We are indebted to the Hon. Solomon Foot for
Edmund Burkes celebrated report upon Rhode
Island nfiairs which, with the accompanying pa
Pers, makes pamphlet of over 1000 pages. We
think the printing of this document and especially
so large edition, was an inexcusable waste of
ihe public money; but, as it is printed very
glad to get copy of it, Besides the report itself,
the radical sentiments of which, have met the gen.
eral Indignation ofihe wing and conservative press
OF the country, it contains many valuable historical
iacts and papers worthy of preservation.
We regret that the value of our copy is greatly
deprecated by the careessness of the stichers,
who have inserted in the very heart of the report
signature of sixteen pages ofanother document, and
omitted so much of the report
We are also indebted to the Hon. VIM. Upham
for valuable documents

DIVISION OF CHURcHEs.-The Bsptis,s of the
saveholdng States held Convention at Savannah,
few days since, and resolved to organize South
ern Missionary Society. They severely censured
the General Board of Missions at Boston, for their
decision not TO employ as Missionary, any person
who would insist on holding slaves, as destructive
of that equality for which the Constitution OF the
society provides.
The Methodist Convention at Louisville has been
one of great interest The feeling very strong in
favor OF division.
The Richmond Enquirer sees in these divisions
fearful omens of political divisions.

UNEQUAL JUsTIcE.-Some three weeks
since 1t was officially announced that President
Polk had dismissed Lieutenant Hurst from the
Navy Tor having been engaged in duel. The
notice was copied very generally by the press
and in the Locoloco papers especially made the
theme OF many labored panegyric upon Mr.
Folks "prompt justice" But before these
praises have grown cold, comes the intelligence
that the same President Polk has appointed
Alcee Labranche, late member of Congress
from Louisiana, to the lucrative post Of Sur
veyor Of the port of New Orleans. Mr. Lab
rancho, il will be remembered killed his man
in duel, some two years ago. Lieutenant
Hurst's antagonist escaped uninured though
he himself was wounded. The question will
be asked why was not the same measure Of
justice extended to the wealthy and influential
member Of Congress that was melted 10 the
poor and comparatively friendless Lieutenant.
Why dismiss the one from the public service
for fighting duel and appoint the other, who
had committed the same offence (aggravated
by the fact that he killed his antagonist) 10 a
lucrative and responsible office? Let those pa
pers, who have so literally be-prased Mr. Polk
for striking Lieut. Hurst's name from the Navy
rolls, extenuate, il they can, the gross incon-
s;stency of which he has been guilty in be-
slowing an Executive appointment upon Alcee
Labranche. Justice is no respecter of persons,
but Mr. Polk, it seems, knows how TO discrim.

MEXICAN CONGRESS. "A Jolnt report from
the Two HOUSES Of the Mexican Congress was
made on the 7th ullimo, upon the subject of
the relations between Mexico and the United
States. The report concludes by recommend
ing two projects, stated by the New Orleans
Bee TO be as follows:
"The first is preceded by preamble declar-
ing, that whereas the United States have re-
solved to annex the territory of Texas, and
whereas such mode Of appropriating foreign
territory TO which other nations lay claim is a
monstrous innovation upon the peace of the
world and the sovereignty of other Powers !;
and whereas this act has been long in prepara-
ton, even while the United States were pro-
Tossing peace and friendship for Mexico, and
while the latter respected and observed scrupu-
lousy the terms Of existing treaties between
the two countries; and whereas the said annex
alton is violation of every conservative prin-
ciple of society, an assault upon the rights of
Mexico, an insult to her dignity as a sovereign
nation, and menaces her independence and no.
tica existence :-Therelore the Congress of
the Mexican Republic solemnly declare that the
law of the United States for the annexation of
Texas to the American Union in no respect i'm
pairs the rights which Mexico possesses and
will maintain TO that department.
Furthermore, that the United States having
hioiOSuihtu INC oh WHICH are OaSeu
treaties of amty, commerce, and navigation,
and more especially of boundary, Congress
considers them violated by the United States
And, finally, that the unjust usurpaion OF
which il is sought TO make Mexico the victim,
makes il her duty to take up arms in her de-
fence 10 oppose such usurpaiion, and with the
full and rightful determination TO use all her
resources and power 10 prevent the annexation
decreed by the United States"
The second authorizes the government TO
take the necessary steps TO call out and organ
ize the whole military force OF the country and
TO procure Extraordinary resources
The United States Gazette, speaking of the
sum of money which some OF the personal
friends of Henry Clay sent to bank in Ken
lucky, where lay Mr. Clay's name, as security
for the debts of other people, SAYS
I'VE regret that the subject should have
come before the public at all; but il is proper
10 state, that, what was given, was free-will
offering Of hearty, personal friends OF Henry
Clay. We do not feel at liberty 10 add any
thing To the Information which has, already
been given through the papers-though we
were cognizant Of the movements, from the be-
ginning, and of the hearty goodwill with
which il was prosecuted. Nay, we might add
something of the spirit in which the annunca-
ton of the proceedings was received by the
person most interested in the result--who,
comforting so many favors as he had conferred
upon the public, and upon individuals-knew
how to receive favor, especially when, being
ignorant of the source whence il proceeded, he
could not, if he would, have turned aside The
benefit. Il is source of qualification to us,
that, in the work, Philadelphia las had her

her fingers over the instrument until her

hastily, but her brother recalled her.

Annet,a cordially extended her hand, but her
face was suffused with bushes.
Now, Sir Charles, said Montaine, if you
will accompany me this evening, l will in
troduce to your notice some of our beauti-
full Genoa ladies.
That is quite unnecessary, Montaine, for
have already seen fair specimen of their
beauty, answered Sir Charles, and am in
clined to think, with you, that they do not
often find rival. Although, l think, and
your sister will prove the assertion, that the
bell of Rosewood forest will bear off the
palm.
Once more Montaine and Sir Charles are
on their way to Rosewood forest; but the
huntsman's horn is not sounding in advance,
for they are snugly seated in large travel
ing coach, and long ride it is, ere they
reach the rocky cliff Yet they are in high
spirits, and the beautiful lady in company,
seems to add much to their gaiety, as they
advance on their journey. 1t is the Fisher
mans daughter, the beautiful belle of the
forest and the happy bride Of Sir Charles
Somerville. Here we leave the gay trio, to
proceed on their route TO the Fisherman's
cottage, wishing them pleasant journey
through the varied scenes of after life.

Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.

WAsHfNGToE, May 10, 1S45.
This day is the last for the reception of Post
Office Scales. The advertisement Of the Post
master General for proposals has set all Yankee
dom in motion. More than hundred scales
have been received, embracing every variety Of
spring, pendulum and beam scale many Of
them curious and useful. Crowds throng the
rooms in the General Post Office, TO view these
specimens OF ingenuity. Those that attract
most attention are one from Mr.. Thomas, Of
Brattle5oro', Vermont: it has an exceeding
clever continuance which enables the letter or
package to iii up as many half ounce weights
as should be charged hostages. II is substan-
tial, simple, and cheap, and is well spoken Of.
Mr.. Poor, Of Boston, has a beautiful contri-
vance, which consists Of a glass tube partly
filled with mercury in which a plunger oper-
ates; and the weight is indicated by scale on
the glass tube: il is very neat and much all
mired. Mr. Brown, of Water street, New
York, has some beautiful scales that operate
with springs Mr.. Hunt, OF Boston, has one
pendulum balance that is well spoken of. Mr..
Geo. A. Moore Of Philadelphia, has an inge-
ninus pendulum scale, hastily made, but pos
sesses great merit. The great scalemakers,
Fairbanks, Of vermont, Dale, Of Lansing burgh
Livingston, of Pittsburg, Stevens, Of Boston,
and host oil others, have sent in specimens,
many of which attract much attention. On
Monday, at 8 A. NJ, committee of scientific
gentlemen, appointed by the Postmaster Gen
era, will commence a critical examination o
the scales. When their decision is known,
large number of scaley fellows will depart fol
their homes. DUNDERBERG.
