RHODE ISLAND.

Mr.. Cranston, (W.) reelected to Congress-
Lemuel II. Arnold, (W.) in the Second District,
beats Elisha K. Potter, (W.) the late member
The law and order Party have swept both
branches of the Legislature.
Gov. Fenner, (W.) is beaten by hundred
and odd as Governor, by Charles Jackson, also
Wing. The point of difference in the canvass
was, whether Dorr should be liberated from pri-
son with or without taking the required oath of
allegiance to the existing Constitution and Co
vernment. Gov. Fenner opposed his Liberation
without the oath and Mr.. Jackson supported it.
[Another objection urged to Gov. FeDner was
that he favored the Annexation of Texas.7
Mr. Jackson we observe was supported by the
Hon. Mr.. Simmons Of the IS. Senate: guar.
antee that if he was wrong on this point he is
right on all others. We rather think too much
consequence is given TO Dorr by keeping him at
fan painting in the PenitCDtiaTy. He will sooner
find oblivion by turning him loose. No man
who admires and delights in painting fans, need
be dreaded by the good people of Rhode Island.

was reported there that the British Government
had come to the determination to send survey
ing expedition forthwith to the United States, for
The purpose of making survey of the whole Or
egon Territory. This step had been decided up

The passengers on the New Jersey Railroad
had narrow escape from death on Friday last
The cars were moving along unusually fast be-
tween shutdown and dark, and when they arrived
at the New Brunswick bridge over the River Rar-
itan, the draw was entirely taken off. The En-
glneer did not discover the fact until within tw O
or three cars lengths off. The men Immediately
put their whole force upon the breakers, and by
throwing sticks before the wheels happily stopped
the train, or some hundred and fifty lives must
have been sacrificed by this act of lpable neg
ligence.

MOVEMENTS IN THE NORTH WEST.

A large meeting has been held at Parkersburg,
in Wood County, at which it was resolved to re.
new the application to the Legislature for the
right to improve their own territory by their own
means or such as they could command. A Con-
vention is accordingly TO be held at Clarksburg,
the Last Thursday in May.
The meeting considered the grant to the Balti-
more Company, of the right to take their road to
Wheeling, as ''a mere subterfuge, and mocke-
ry of the respectful petition of the Northwest,
which it was intended to deny, without the man
illness Of direct refusal.''

Intimate personal and political relations with Mr..
w. OF long standing, he departed Crom his gene
raj rule and expressed his desire to President Ty-
Ter to have Mr.. w. appointed. Mr.. Polk was
not as complaisant-and he turned Mr.. Calhoun's

From Monrovia, late intelligence gives the in
formation OF much prosperity. An extract from
letter from Governor RoBERrs Of the Goth jan

were steadily advancing; several stone buildings
had been erected in Monrovia, and he SAYS that
every year shows some improvement. The sub
Joined paragraph (says the American) will show
that the colored people know better than the Abo-
litionsts who are their true friends:
81 had hoped to see the President of the Ame-
rcan Colonization Society the President of the
United States, and then we should have strong
friends at Washington; but the Great Ruler Of
the Universe has directed otherwise, and we
must quietly submit to the dispensatons Of Di-
vine Providence, however dark to our understand
ings. The cause Of colonization, however, is the
cause Of Justice and humanity and must pros
per. That Heaven has so decreed it is evident
from the many blessings that kind Providence
has bestowed on these colonies, from their ear

TIE late Rec James Jackson.-'rhe following
extract, from the Daily Savannah Republican, OF
The 9th ut., contains some particulars of the me-
lancholy death OF this clergy man, who spent
some months at our Diocesan Seminary as
member of the Senior class, and was admitted to
Deacon's orders at the close Of the last session.
During his short residence in neie hborhood,
he gained the esteem and respect of his asscci
ates and acqualntances by his amiable manners
and consistent piety, and by talents and acquire
ments which bid fair to have made him both an
ornament to the ministry, and blessing to the
people over whom in Gods providence he might
be placed .-SouMern &urchman.
"Our city has been thrown into a most painful
state of agitation and distress, by The melancholy
termination of the life of young and promising
clergyman OF the Episcopal Church Of this place
the Rev. JAMES JACKSON, late of the Diocese
OF Massachusetts. He had returned but few
days from the South, where he had been travell-
Ing two months for the restoration of his health,
which had been impaired by laborious perfor-
nance Of his clerical duties. He was apparently
very much restored by his absence, and his
friends hoped that he would be enabled to resume
his very acceptable services in st. Johns church.
But their hopes and his were doomed TO a wretch
ed disappointment, for after exhibiting on the few
previous days strong evidences Of wildness, he
suddenly left the city on Wednesday morning,
without giving any notice Of his intended depar-
ture, and although suspicion was Immediately ex-
cited and search made during that day and night
he was not found until the next morning, having
drowned himself in the river opposite Bonaven-
ture. His body was recovered and the Coroner's
inquest had no hesitation, upon The very strong
testimony submitted to them, TO bring an instant
verdict OF INSANITY" Thus has perished a
young clergyman, whose pulpit performances
had given high evidence Of intellectual power and
whose blamelessness Of life had won him MANY
friends in the city,"

We find the following in the New Orleans
Tropic of the 25th March. None of our other ex-
changes from that city of the same date say any
thing of the arrival and purposes of Mr.. Yell.

Archibald Yell, of Arkansas, reached this city
last Saturday night, direct from Washington,
charged with Important dispatches for Major
Donelson. oar Charge d AfFaires to Texas Mai.
ID. is now in this city, and is, we presume. al
ready in possession of the dispatches of which
Mr.. Yell was the bearer.
We are not in the secrets Of the powers that be.
but we fancy that Mr.. Yell brings out the con-
illusions TO which President Polk has come in re-
gard 10 Annexation, and which are possibly very
different in character to those which John Tyler
so hastily committed to paper, and hurried off by
his nephew. The President that is, may have a
notion that "some things can be done as we'll as
Others" and that in appointing Commissioners
to settle the terms of Annexation by treaty, he
will consult his own reputation, as well as the
interests and honor Of the nation. Who knows
but that the settlement of the Annexation ques-
ton may be the browning glory" of Mr.. Polk's
administration.

All things were kept in constant broiE!

That e'en the chimney backs would sweat;

For fear she'd cratchh her passage out.
