AssuMprIo~.-rhe Philadelphia Journal, IN the
course of some remarks on the rumors respecting
the British negotiation, says The idea that Is hint

States that held in England. strikes being
most preposterous. The principle has already been
condemned by the Government of Great Britain, IN
the case of the holders of the stocks OF the South
American States. About twenty years ago, the
London money market glutted with these
stocks The Mexican. Bolivian. CHILEAN. Peruv ian,
&c. Nc., all found capitalists who brought them out
and negotiated them. Subsequently, when the Gre
DIT of States had deterorated. in consequence
of their making provision for the payment OF IN
terest. and other causes. the holders appealed To
the British Government to Intcrpose IN their be-
half. The answer they received was you en-
gagged IN the speculatinns with your eyes open, yon

cannot interfere" Such. we suspect, Will be the
answer which the holders of State Bonds would
now receive from the Government, were they To

COL WEBB-lt will be recollected that Colonel
Webb was indicted short time since for leaving
the State of New York with intent to receive or
give challenge, and also charging the fact
that he did receive or give suci, challenge to
fight duel with Il. f. Marshall, of Kentucky
Owing to an informality in the proceeding the in
dc,ment was quashed. Webb has recently been
indicted second time for the same offence and
brought to trial; he pleaded guilty before
the court Of the offence allie ged against him. and de-
cared his readiness abide the decision of the law
Col. Webb was accordingly committed to prison to
await the sentence of the court He was subseouen-
tly sentenced to two years Imprisonment at Sing
Sing, for fighting duel with Marshall. Petitions
have been extensively circulated, praying the Gov
ernor of New York to grant the prisoner full and
unconditional pardon. The editor of the N. York
Tribune says: eve saw two petitions to-day, for
the pardon of Col. Webb, one of which was 40
feet long, and the other 66 feet.''
The punishment under the laws of the state of
New York, tor giving or accepting challenge with
intent to fight duel is not less than too, nor more
than seven years Imprisonment The court there
fore, in the case of Col Webb, could do no less
than sentence him for two years.

heavily laden with flour. The passengers effected

THE CAPIToL.-The Commissioner of

a report to the Legislature on Wednesday
last, exhibiting the present condition of
matters pertaining to the Capitol. The
report is drawn up with that candor and
ability for which Mr.. Smith is characteris-

honesty of Doty in most unenvable light.
Mr.. Smith fortiies his assertions with proof
that cannot be controverted. We shall
refer more particularly to the report here
after.

PRACTICAL OPERATION eff the TARIFF.

PRACTICAL OPERATION ef the TARIFF
Mr.. Editor: perceive much discussion is going
on in the papers with regard the operation of the
Tariff. So far as our immediate community is
concerned, there is one trhing matter which con-
tains within itself the value of whole speech upon
the subject 1t is, that some of our merchants ad-
vertise that as they bought their goods before the
new tariff bill went into operation, they can afford
to sell them cheaper than those who purchased after
Now as seven eighths of our community are COM
posed of those whom the tariff does not protect its
practical working can be SEEM and probably in
about the same ratio, does it operate throughout
the Union. S.

way TO Washington. Gen. Dodge took passage in
the Steam Boat New Brazil, at a place on the river
somewhere above Bloomington, not mentioned in

day memorable for storm and tempest) while the
boat was passing the rapids in the river, the wind
blew such gale, that it was found necessary to
cast anchor. While lying in this position, the wea-
ther increased in coldness, and the ice came down
the river in such floating masses to deach the
fastenings to the anchor the boat hoated "a short
distance and lodged against the rocks. Her yawl
was swept away by the ice, and she was obliged to
remain in that unpleasant condition for more than
two days. In the meantime the wood became ex-
hausted and there being no means of communicate
ing with the shore, it was found necessary to a
portion of the boats deck for fuel. The boa: final
