HOUSES ON SuP's DECKs.-The Boston Jour
nal ably rebukes the practice of erecting these fral
fabrics in such insecure positions, and says " Sew
eral cases have recently occurred in which the dan
ger of the custom has been clearly manifested.
One was that of the brig Encarnacion, from this
port for Valparaiso, which has been reported put
into Rio in distress. A letter from Capt Lewis
states that the sea which disabled his vessel swept
the cabin from the deck, and with il the second
mate and every compass they had on boayd-so
that they obliged to steer by the sun and stars
for a week or more. Another was that of the brig
Chatham, also from this port for California, which
was spoken when but few days out, making for
Rio with the loss Of her house off deck and all her
instruments, having been boarded by heavy sea.
during a severe gale. These and other instances
of similar nature have awakened attention TO the
subject, and the system now meets with but little
favor from the mercantile community, and we trust
will soon be discontinued entirely. Ii is well
known that goods shipped on deck are liable to be
lost, and large premium is charged by the under
writers 10 cover the risks upon them, while such a
thing underwriting deck risks by the year is
unknown The question may well be asked ii
these houses upon deck are not as much or more
exposed to the action Of the than goods shipped
upon the deck. The underwriters in such cases
are not liable for damage-to merchandise by expo

damage to these houses, in some cases, particularly
for their fine finish carved work, windows &c.

seending the river found large trading boat adrilt

found in various places, the boat was rifled of her

TUE WESTERN TELEGKApn.-It~is said that
the decision in Kentucky, in favor Of Morse
and against O'Reilly, does not practically effect
O'ReilIy's work. 1t relates only to the use
Of the Columbian, or Barnes & looks instru-
Inent. Mr.. OReilIy has put the Bain.instrumenl
upon the line in Tennessee and Kentucky, and for
this instrument patent exists under the decision
Of the Chief Justice Of the Circuit and District
Court in the District Of Columbia to whom, by a
law Of Congress, the power is given to decide in
case OF disagreement between the commission Of
the Patents and Patentees. As Bain's inslru-
ment is in use, it is said there will be no Interrupt
ton Of the lines used by Mr. OReilly.
But, on the other hand, it is said that the princi-
pie OF the decision really covers both cases, and
that an injunction will be laid as soon as the at
tempt is made to work the line by Bain's Patent.
1t is important to know, what truly is the decision,
and we therefore hope the whole opinion will be
given TO the public at large.

The legislature always had the power to branch

where they had to haul water five miles, and he al
