That thss latter assignment would relieve thu corpoTs

he acts OF the Attn and 5th May 1871 gave the stock
holders right to determine, at n general meeting
whether an assignment should be made, and provided
that IL was so ordered the trustees should be compe-

would not be pressed vain for ma nv suits were
commenced in the summer OF 1sl1 and early In San.

obtained prior to the assignment and which liens

taken First, that the band had authority by

arrived at Boston from Jeremle on the Goth instant
and reports that three English vessels of war had
arrived at Port au Prince. 1t is said that the re-
ports in relation to the number of persons killed at
Port au Priuce, had been much exaggerated. A
merchant of credibility writes that foreigners are
respected in person and property; but it is suggested
that our government ought to send some vessels of
war there, to secure the continuance of this
respect, so far as our countrymen are concerned
Our merchants there, it is said, feel the want of
due protection.
