SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. - The
BELL OF THE ILLFATED STEAMER
"RHoDE ISLAND" FOUND AT SEA-
News MAS received in this city on Sat-
urday morning, that the whaling bark
Elizabeth, recently arrived at Malta
poisett, Mass, from cruise, had pick
ed up, during her voyage, large bell
weighing 200 pounds. 1t had the
stamp of James s. P. Allaire, N. Y,
1886, upon it, and was attached to a
broken beam, which had just buoyancy
enough, though very much eaten with
worms, to sustain itself and the bell
on the surface Of the water. We i'm
meliately made inquiry at the Allaire
Works, and was informed that the ma
chinery Of The Rhode Island was made
at that establishment in 1886, also the
bell and the foreman, on turning 10
the books. found the weight OF the
identical bell registered a, 200 pounds.
There seems to be TO doubt but the
bell found by the Elizabeth belonged
to the steamer Rhode Island, which
vessel, it will be remembered, left here
last winter for California, but found
cred at sea soon after leaving, only sew
ell persons being saved. The bell was
picked up off the Azores, or Western
Islands. N Y. SIN.

OUGHT to be admitted. The perpetual uni
ty Of this empire, he said, appeared 10 HIM
to hang upon the dccisian OF this Day and

State, and could never again be-"less than
that; nothing prevents her admission, b9i
want Of agreement among ourselves: ~
was insisted, that the admission OF Ca!iiorn.
ia should be attended by a compromise oil
the slavery question. He was opposed to
any sush compromises; legislative eomPfo'
misses were all radically wrong. ir conc:a.
sion, he would vote for the admission o.
California, dire city, without condition, and
without qualification or compromise.

Stanton, Of KY, having the floor, he con-
tended that the Wilmot proviso was in .di'

admission of California, with suitable boun'
daries, provided a provision be made fol

Of his positions border on the. extreme. and SC

They speak the language that should BE- uttered

the principles which have yielded strength

founded upon the compromises Of the c~Onstitu-
