ILLINOIS SENAToR.-It is said that Gov. French
has come to the conclusion that he. does not pos
sess, under the Constitution, the power to appoint
a senator to fill the place to which Gen. Shields
was elected last wintY, and which he did fill for
several days, before his inegibity was determined
by the Senate. If this be so, there must necessa-
riy be called session of the Legislature and the
question of internal improvement may again be
brought before that BODY

BREACH IN THE ONO CANAL.-The Chillcothe
Ancient Metropolis, of the 16th says that serious
break occurred in the canal, on Saturday evening,
at " the bluffs" about two and half miles above
Yelowbud. 1t is supposed that the flood in the
Scioto had weakened the embankment, and the
great press of water, which had only been let in
the canal that morning, caused it to give way
Such was the force of the water that large trees
Were carried, roots and ALL in an erect position TO
the centre of the river.

speaking of the repeal the navigation laws, says

done IN a confiding, generous and creditable man.
ner. After ALL England is not a nation of bar
gamers; and when she tries to bargain she is uni
formly unsuccessful. We have ever lost by dplo-
macy what we have gained by war. The moral is
TO leave as little to diplomacy possibly can );
and if we apply that moral to the question before
us, It teaches us to open trade to the vessels
OF all nations with great stroke of generosity
and SO endeavor to effect by an appeal to the good
feeling and good sense of mankind that which we
are not likely to effect by a thousand particular
negotiations
