IMPORTANT DEcI ioN.- In the U. S. Circuit
Cour, at Boston, Judge Woodbury. delivered
an able opinion in tho case Of the United
States vs.. Ames, who had been sued for
flowing the land Of the United States, at
Springfield, and who had set up IN defence
an arbitration entered into between himself
and the U. States, through the War Depart
ment or a Sictor Of the Treasury, and no
pleaded further, the aowage act Of Massa-
chuseits. To this defence the U. s. At,or-
ney demurrcd, and the Court sustained the
demurrer, Oh tho ground that no officer Of the
United Slutes or Executive Department., had
power to submit to arbitration the title Of
the United States TO land, or to any privilege
or rights growing out Of tho soIne, unless au-
,horized by Congress. and that the aownse
act Of Massachusetts or any other State,
could not extend over land belonging to the
United States.

Death OF Governor Fcnncr.


JAMES FENxER died ut his residence,
Watcher, yesterday morning, at half
past ten O'clock. This event, allhous h
not unexpected, will be received through
out the State, with universal regret
The death Of no man among US would
occasion a more profound sensation. -
For more than half century Gov. Fen
nrr has been Intimately and actively
connected with the public affairs OF
Rhode Island. lie has represented the
State IN the Senate Of the United States,
and was fourteen times elected Govern.
or, an office IN which he succeeded his
Ia,her, who had filled 1t for even lon
ger period. The part which he bore in
The agitalions and troubles Of the last
few years is fresh in the grateful recol-
lection Of the people, and has linked his
name indissolubly with the history of the
Senate. To his pat,iotism aud fidelity,
to his firmness of purpose and to that
courageous and indoruitable will which
formed the distinguishing trait Of his
character is to be attiibIted no slight
portion of the success that attended The
cause of Liberty and Law.
! The disease under which Gov Fen
ner laborcd, and which eventually prov
ed laial, was valvuar disease OF the heart,
finally terminating in ellusion within the
pericardium (dropsy Of the pericardum.)
lis health, for the last eighteen months,
has been gradually failing, aud, indeed,
long before that period, symptoms Of the
disease OF which he died were evident to
his medical attendants, and n, that time
were made known To his family. An
alarming increase IN his symptoms, vio-
leni pain IN the heart, oppressed breath
ing, and inability to lie down, occurred
about ten days ago, since which he has
tailed rapidly, preserving TO the last his
ndomiiablc frnness aud the chatacier-
istic energy IN which he was rarely
equaIled. Ills mental powers were un-
impaired, aud during the last days Of
his existence, he exhibited the same in
lrrcst IN public affairs, and the same
desire for the welfare and prosperity of
his native State, which distinguished his
whole life.

MAsoNiC.---An interesting Lecture was
delivered at the Masonic Hall, in this place,
on Friday evening last. by the Rev. Mr.
HATHAwAY, OF Warren, before the members
Of the fraternity, and many others Of boil,
sexes. The crowded auditory listened with
evident satisfaction to the manly and able
defence Of the Institution from the Reverend
gentleman.
The address before the Masons az then
celebration on the 24th June, we learn will
be by the Rev. GEORGE NJ. RANDALL, OF
Boston, Editor Of The Christian Wilness.u
LOOK Our I'VE have been informed that
a female, apparently about 80 years of age
dressed in ieht brown cloak. straw bonnet,
&c. has been in the practice OF borrowing
articles from several Dry Goods, Shoe and
other Stores, in this place, recently, under
the Pretence OF examining them, aud not re
turning them. Her whereabouts have no,
yet been satisfactorily ascertaincd, though, we

IL she has not left the town we advise her to
return the articles, before she is exposed.
SANTA ANNA.-The uncertainty that
has for some time exi sted touching the
designs and doings of this parsonage
seems to be on the eve Of practical
solution. FrorO three different quarters,
this morning, we have indications of an
approaching crisis in which he is to
figure actively. The Charleston Cou-
rier Of the 18th gives the following pas
sage from letter written at Havana on
the 9th
General Almonle came passenger in
the steamer, and imme diately on landing
went TO Santa Anna, with whom he was
closeted for several hours. understand
they are on the eve Of another revolu.
tion in Mexico in favor Of Santa Anna,
and that he will leave for Vera Cruz in
the steamer ofthis evening.
The Baltimore Patriot Of Saturday
has the following:
Capt. Beard, Of the schr. Galena, who
arrived here yesterday in seven days
from Havana, states that General Santa
Anna had received orders for his imme-
diate return to Mexico. A letter Of the
9th, received at Washington, makes no
mention Of the above, but ns Captain
Beard left Havana OH the 9th, his ad.
vices are day later.
Finally, in II slip from the office Of the
New Orleans Tropic, dated the ll,h
instant, p. m, we have this corrobora-
ting information -

which port she left on the Sd inst ai

as substitute for that and all other
propositions before the Senate. The
resolution as finally adopted will be-
found in its place in another part of our
paper. AS thus amended, the resolution
was not agreeable 10 most of those who
were regarded as 81 40 men. Mr..

on Foreign Relations, Mr.. CAss, Mr..
HANNEGAN, and others voted against il

MIR. Evans, Mr.. +. CLAYTON, and Mr..

reasons these gentlemen being Of opin.
