Commenting upon the business OF the session just
closed, the Times says;-
''Tbe ministerial management of the Legislature
has not been very ssgacious, very systematic, or
very business like. The for this m ~ be
traced, in a considerable degree. tn the second
rate qualic of the cabinet But these reas ms
do not supply the whole truth The whig minis
ters are not ministers selected by the Commons,
but forced into Office by circumstances. Not
desire. but disaster gave them place. In any
they would not have been gOsd governors.
They have not the intellect to command respect.
nor policy TO insist on attention But because
the House of Commons were not their constituents.
they had TO follow the House, for the House would
not follow them"
Among the more important bills introduced by
the ministry which have fallen through is the
Jewish Emancipation bill, the Savings Bank bill,
the Lord Lieutensncy of Ireland Abolition bill, and
the Marriage bill.
AT a concert given at Liverpool on Friday, by
Jenny Lind, the house was crowded to suffocaton,

The Assembly was prorogued on the 10Th inst,

Most OF the members have left Paris, and alto
gether, though more peaceful, Paris is less gay
than il was some months ago. Previously to sepa-
rating, the Mountain presented the public with their
promised report on the parliamentary proceedings
of the session This document has become the
great topic Of the day. 1t is drawn up in a style
remarkably free from the common defects
of imitation and violence. 1t is signed by
eixty. eight members. In some respects tho
President has not been 80 fortunate in his present
as in his late tour. At Lyons the people were
worse than spathetic there was no address-no
public rejoicings-the town council refused the
supplies for his suite. Under date of Paris,
Thursday, it is stated that since the Pres-
dent left Lyons his progress has been satisfactory,
and impartial reports declare that public feeling
generally is decidedly in his favor. A telegraphic
despatch from Paris, Of Friday, contains similar
advices.
Accounts from the Provinces state that the
weather is exceedingly wet, and unfavorable for
harvesting, in consequence of which there had
been an advance of %. cd. the sack.
The commerce of Paris still continues to pro-
gress favorably. The manufacturers have sufh-
cient orders on their books to occupy all their
hands, while some branches find difficulty in
procuring operatives TO supply the demand.

From the Sacramento City Daily Tribune, Oct 30
DIED, on Monday morning last, at half past
7 O'Clock, Capt. JAMES T. SHIP, Of this city.
The deceased was native of Madison county
Virginia, and in his native Stale had won a re-
putation for oratory of which he might well
have been proud AS friend he was true, as a
citizen just, and as companion agreeable and
gentemanIy. Society has met with a loss in
his death which will be sensibly felt and difficult
to fill. To his friends it nay be gratifying to
know that his death was calm and peaceful, and
that he retained full possession of his reason to
the last. For several weeks he had been suffer
ing from Typhoid fever, but his friends and ply
speedy recovery, when suddenly he was cut
down by disease of the bowels, which batfled
medical skill, and in a few hours after he was
thus attacked he was numbered with the dead

A TERRIFIC TORNADO.
Seventy Or Eighty Houses Blown TO Pieces

Great Number CT L1CeS LOST.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 3O-One of the most ap-
pallitn and destructive ,tornadoes which has
been experienced in the Mississippi valley tor
several years, occurred about 2osciocK In The
afternoon.
It swept over the town of Cape Girardeau,
Mo. situated on the Mississippi river Just below
St. Louis, and demolished some seventy Or eighty
buildings, many of them the finest and princl-
pal business houses i'll the place
The Baptist and Catholic Churches and the
Ca thoic Convent were destroyed.
Two of the large and splendid Telegraph masts
belonging to the St. Louis and New Orleans tel
eeraph company, were cracked, shlvered and
brought to the grouud with as much ease as tho
they had been pipe stems.
The steamboat Saranac, No. 2, which had just
rounded to at the wharf, had her upper works
completely blown off, and several persons on
her severely injured, and some, II Is Propaple,
were drowned.
The wharf boat was likewise blown from her
moorings, and almost irreparably injured
In order that you may Judge of the terrible
violence Of the storm, will state, COW was
unceremoniously lifted off her feet on terra firma
and deposited in tree sixty feet from the ground
The loss Of life by this awful visitation can
not as yet be ascertained, but it is certainly very
great, as numbers are doubtless beneath the
ruins of the fallen buildings. There are also a
great many persons Tho are seriously injured ;
and some Of them 80 crippled and lamed that
thew will never recover from the effects.
The town is literally torn in pieces, and looks
truly wobegone. Many citizens who were this
morning to be seen with Light hearts aud smii.
Ing faces. are to night wrapped either in the
arms of DEATH or else are weeping for their
friends who have beeu thus untinely swept
away.

BURNING OF THE STEAMER COLUMBUS

AT about O'Clock on Thursday morning, 2sth
ult., the steamer Columbus, while on her trip
from Baltimore to Norfolk, took fire and the
the boat and cargo were entirely destroyed. 1t
occurred off Smiths Point, at the mouth OF the
Potomac. She was proceeding at her usual rate
when suddenly the draft through the smoke
stack was checked, and the flames came rush
ing out of the doors of the furnace. The usual
means were resorted to by :he engineer to re-
store the draft, but all his efforts proved una
valing, and the flames continued TO pour out OF
the mouth of the furnace in such volume as
instantly to kill the fireman, and to set fire 10
the boat and wood pile in front of the furnace
The flames spread with such rapidly as to battle
the efforts of those on board to save the boat, and
in short time it was entirely consumed.
By this dreadful calamity rine lives were lost
including Capt. Hollinoshead aud the mate who
leave families in Baltimore. The rest, seven III
number, were saved by resorting to small
boat.

The President recommends the establishment
OF an Agricultural bneeau--and the Secretary OF
the Interior suggests the purchase and cultivat-
be Mount Vernon.
We would like to know whether save-labor
will be employed there, or whether Government
will be holier than General Washington, and
prohibit it. If slaves are employed on the pub
lie farm, we hope no Abolitionist ~will be APP
pointed ovelseer. He would work them 10
death.
After we have established a National Farm
we suppose we ought to have National Factory,
and National Clothing Store, Printing Office,

THE SHOE BEGINS TO PINCH

The North begins 10 feel the effects OF the
non-intercourse policy adopted i'll portions OF the
South, and to fear the fer more disastrous conse-
quences which are inevitably to reeut to Forth
ern trade and commerce from general non-n-
tercourse policy. The Albany IN " Argus,
noticing the indications of commercial indepen-
dence in the South, says:
s.In most Of the Southern States great exer-
tons are being put forth TO deyelope their man
ufacturifig resources. Cotton factories are being
built to considerable extent in Georgia, aud
some in neighboring States; at Baltimore the
ship wards are all busy building vessels for
Southern ports; and all over the South the great
est activity is shown in lie determination to be
independent of Northern manufacturers, vessels,
and merchants What will be the result OF this!
Inevitably e lessen the demand for Northern
and Eastern manufactures, and to depress COM
nlerce aud labor in the free States. The effects
cannot be otherwise and we would ask the
merchant the manufacturer and the laborer, TO
give the subject their careful consideration. AL
ready has the North felt the effects of this need
less sectional agitation, in the loss of Southern
support and lift is continued, she will feel it
still more zeeuly"
