BRITISH ARRIVAL.-A stout, we'll bull

BRITISH ARRIVAL.-A stout, we'll built
vessel constructed with Ericsson propecrs, stop
ped at this place on Friday last. The vessel is called
the Adventures; she is entirely new this being her
first voyage, having been built the past season at
Niagara, Upper Canada, and owned in the British
dominions The Adventure left for Chica 90, where
it is designed to take in a cargo of wheat and flour
which she will take to Montreal-the vessel will
proceed to Montreal without any reshipment of her
freight. The Captain of the Adventure informs us
that it Is contemplated to establish line of vessels
of this kind from Montreal to Chicago. The up
ward freight will consist mainly Of emigrans and
their effects, and the downward of wheat, flour,
pork and other products of the west.
This channel of trade, as on former occasions
remarked, is destined to become of immense i'm
portance TO the west. 1t is believed by many who
are the best acquainted with the shipping business,
that no communication between the towns on the
western lakes and the Atlantic, can successfully
compete with the Canada route, in the carrying @:
treights, provided the British Government are dis
posed to adopt policy calculated to invite compe-
ton. There is far less artificial water communi-
| ton by way Canada than by the route of the Erie
Canal consequently the amount of tolls will be
proportionaby less by the northern route ; besides
the expense of re-shipmens of freights on the Erie
Canal is altogether avoided on the northern pas
sage to Montreal, Quebec, to the markets of the
Atlantic towns. In addition to this, the late mod
cation Of the British tariff, admitting wheat duty free
into the British provinces, will have mostimportant
tendency to divert much Of the trade of the west to
the Canadas.

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE, OF SHFTi

Mr.. Harmon Marsh, of the town of Pike in this
county, has one of the most prolific focks of sheep
that we ever heard or read of:-Alr. Marsh has a
flock of fourteen ewes, which in January last had
fourteen lambs-eleven of which number'are now
living; weaned, and doing well. The same four
teen ewes are now (the first of June) having a Sc
cond crop of lambs, and from present indications,
it is judged that these same ewes will raise at least
fourteen more lambs of the second stock-the diff
ference between the ages of the two progenies be-
ing only some five months.

TEXAS.-A matter of considerable interest in
relation TO Texas is now exciting public attention.
1t is stated that the British Government has pro-
posed to Texas, to recognize her independence and
relieve her present pecuniary embarrassm ents, on
condition that slavery shall be abolished in Texas
The New Orleans papers credit the statement, and
affirm that the subject has been some time under
deliberation by the leading and influential citizens
of Texas, and that the officers of the government,
have secretly favored the proposition of England.

that he then entertained and expressed the

An amendment of the system was proposed
in 1929, to the history of which refer with no
agreeable recollections. The Bill of that year, in
some Of its provisions, was framed ON principles
directly adverse to the declared wishes of the
friends of the policy of protection. have heard
without vouching for the fact, that it was so
framed upon the advice of prominent citizen,
now abroad, with the view ofu,imately defeating

merican system the Bill would be lost. BE that
