A PARTICULAR VETo.-The Locofocos of the
Michigan Legislature have been for some time at
loggerheads with Governor Barry. They appear
to represent the Cass and ant-Cass factions Of Lo-
cofocoism. On the Goth, Governor Barry returned
the bill to provide for sending emgrant agent
or "runner,' as he denominates him, to New York
to encourage emigration to that State. The bill
provided that Mr.. Thompson, the efficient agent
or "runner' last year, should be the man--thua
taking the appointment out of the GOVERNOR
hands. The agent heretofore has always been APP
pointed by the Governor, and was last year by
Governor Ransom. The shape in which the present
bill passed was pretty severe expression OF the
want Of confidence in the Governor, and distrust OF
his honesty and integrity But the Governor had
the longest end of the rope he had the power to
say ''thus far, and no farther"

CALIFORNIA VESSELS IN pIsTREss.-By the brig
Eleanor, at this port last evening from St. Thomas,
we learn that the steamship New Orleans, Captain
Wood, from New York for California, arrived at
st. Thomas the I'd ult. in distress, having expe-
rienced very heavy weather when only few days
out; she was considerably damaged in her upper
works, but receiving all necessary repairs on
the goth, and would proceed ON her voyage in few
days. The bark Clearmont, Lermond, from New
Orleans for San Francisco, arrived at St. Thomas
on the 18th ut in Distress and leaking badly; she
had been condemned, and was to be sold for the
benefit of the underwriters. The ship Shakespeare,
Clark, heretofore reported at St. Thomas in distress,
was repairing on the 20th and would be ready to
sail for San Francisco in few days

CoNNEcTIcuT--In the present imperfect state OF
the returns, it il unnecessary to reproduce them.
Sufficient is known to render it certain that there
is no choice of State officers by the people, and
that consequently, their selection will dcvolve up
on the Legislature. The Senate will be decidedly
Democratic. OF the political complexion of the
House, there is merely a shadow of doubt, and
that resting upon the result of the second trial for
representatives in the districts in which there was
no choice on Monday. In the districts heard from
there were elected on the first day sixty eight DEM
ocrats and sixty Whigs and the full returns will in
crease this preponderance. The Wings have, there
fore, no hope for the House beyond those to be at
tached to the result of the second days trial. when
plurality only of the votes is sufficient to elect.

Eleven camels were imported into Baltimore last
week from the Canary islands. They are intended
for the far West to test whether they be raised
and acclimated Some persons entertain the idea
that the camel would be a valuable beast of burden
for the western plains and deserts. and, with true
Yankee enterprise, no sooner is the idea broached
than find individuals preparing TO test the mat
ter by practical experiments. We hope that they
may succeed, though in these days, when the iron
horse is pushing its way in every quarter and cor
ner of the land, it seems like a doubtful expert
ment. Il would seem quite as feasible to introduce
the camel into this country it would be to train
the wild buffalo to the OF man, which has been
suggested as practicable by the present Commits
soner Of Patents.-Phiiad. Ledger.

EXPLOSION OF BURNING FLuIp.-We have con-

which are used substitutes for oil. A gentleman
Of North Attleborough writes that ON the evening
light one of the common glass fluid lamps. II had
two tubes, but only one wick--the wick belonging
to one tube having slipped down in the lamp. II Is
supposed that the woman not noticing this held the
match over the vacant tube. The lamp instantly
exploded, scattering the fluid over her, and setting
the carpet on fire. The fire was fortunately extn-
guished, but both the hands Of the woman were
badly burnt.
