THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.

Mr.. Benton construed the 9Th article of the
Treaty as some Of the British presses did-that
il permitted the cruisers Of Great Britain TO
search or visit American vessels aud taking
tbi. doeged stand against his country, he con-
tinued his gross assaults against Mr.. Wei ster,
the Administration, and Mr.. Calhoun.
Mr. Calhoun says, in reference to this arti.
Gle.
"H is objected that the arrangement entered into
virtually an acknowledgment Of the right Of search
lie did not so regard it, On the contrary he con-
sidered il, under all the circumstances surrender

opinion, would justify. Lord Palmorston, in The

ATTEMPT TO AssAsslNATE THE Hon. Ma.
WicKLlFFE,.-On the arrival Of the steam
boat Georgia, last evening, from Norfolk, our
citizens were startled, with rumor of an at
tempt to assassinate the Postmaster General,
during her passage up the bay, by John Gard
ner, son of C oil. Gardner. late clerk in one
of the departments at Washington. The oc-
currence took place as Mr.. Wickliffe, with
his daughters and niece, were advancing to-
wards the dining saloon,1 when Gardner en-
countered the party, and before his purpose
could be well conjectured, suddenly raised a
knife with which he had been cleaning his
nails, and with grea. violence stabbed Mr.. W..
in the chest. Gardner was instantly seized
by Lieut.. Bradford, and prevented from re-
peating the blow; his person was then prop
arly secured and he was in guarded custody
until the boat arrived at Baltimore. Mr.. W.
was conveyed to his berth, and such relief af.
forded him as the circumstances could afford,
but when he arrived here he was in severe
pain. DR. Smith was instantly summoned to
attend him, who upon examining the wound
pronounced that it was not dangerous, the
knife having struck upon the upper part Of the
sternum or breast bone without having pene-
trated it. The shock from the violence of the
blow, It was supposed. occasioned the pain
which Mr.. w. experienced in his side, and
inasmuch as there appeared no immediate me-
cessity for his removal, it was thought expe-
dent that he should remain on board during
the night where every necessary attention
could be paid him, and the excitement of his
removal avoided. Gardner was committed to
jail. Mr.. Wickliffe expressed his conviction
'ha. Gardner was deranged; spoke -feelingly
OF the young mans relatives, 10 whom he re-
ferred as intimate friends, and despatched
person 10 prevent. if possible, the commit
ment OF Gar jner to jail.-Balt. Sun.

~ The Alton Telegraph of the 18Th

panied by several vouchers as TO its veri>
iy,-from DR.. BENJAMIN +. Edwards. Of
an operation performed by him in the re-
moyal Of a. wen. from the left side OF the
face Of Miss Eyres, aged 10 years, OF
that city, while under n'esmeric influence:
The base Of the wen was one inch and
seyen-eighths in length. by one inch and
five-eights in width; the upper part OF u
being just opposite and near the opening
of The ear. II commenced forming when
she was about two years old, and has been
gradually increasing. We give below the
man features attending the case. from the
pen Of the aching editor Of that paper, and
which are worthy of every consideration !:

under mesmeric influence in about five
minutes. After ascertaining that she was.
in profound sleep, an incision was made
one inch and three-eights in length, and
the tumor was removed. Although. the
operation was necessarily prolonged to
nearly fifteen minutes the Doctor not be.

this is believed to be the first that has been
performed west Of the Alleganies.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN TExAs.-We
find the following important announcement in
late number Of the New York Herald. in re-
gard TO movement which is going on IN
England, through an agent Of the abolitionist
Of this country, for the Establishment Of slavery
in Texas, with view Of forwarding the cause
Of emancipation in this country. The intelli-
geneer was brought out by the Caledonia:
There is at present in London Mr.. An
dre~s, who acts as the agent Of the abolition
lists of Texas; and he has had several inter-
views with Lord Aberdeen, to whom he has
fully submitted his project for the abolition Of
slavery in Texas. dis project is this-the
organization Of a society in England who
shall advance a sum equal to the value Of the
slaves now in Texas, the government to pay
over the money to the owners of slaves, and
changing the constitution so as 10 effect au-
thofitivelythe abolition Of slavery. The favor
with which this project has been received, is
sufficiently manifested by the fact, that Lord
Aberdeen has agreed to recommend that the
British Government shall guaranty the pay
ment of the interest on the loan, upon condi-
ton that Texas become free State. A num-
Der OF influential Quakers are taking an active
part in favor of the project, as, in their opin-
ion, 1t presents very suspicious means Of eff
In the meantime, the project is opposed by
the party in favor Of free trade with this coun-
try, because in their judgement the movement
is likely to be led to serious disturbance of
the present amicable relations of the two coun-
tries; and we have learned from the best au-
thority, that a powerful party, with Lord John
Russell at its head, will be organized with
the view Of efecting achange Of Ministry on
this issue alone.
