duties President Of the College He carries with him
to the OF his abors the aectionate regard of
his whole church in this city, as we'll as the best wishes
OF the community at large. In his removal, the Baptist
Church here lose shining intellectual light and the
community ripe scholar and polished Christian gen.
teman.

The First Baptist Church in this city is still without

supply the vacancy created by the resignation OF the
Rev. Mr.. JErER who is now laborng in ST. Louis, Mis-

Gen. Taylor himself, no man is authorized to saw dis

no man in the country who will tbe happier to have

rlcan and English vessels in port, where for upwards
OF amonth they changed from one vessel 10 ano-
Their. Whenever American vessel was ready for sea-
they were strictly overhaued by the Captain of the Port
who'll he found either the captain mate or anv OF the
crew on board, would order them on shore.
On the 1lth OF April the u S. soop Of war Albanv
Commander Randolph, arrived. The next day Captau
Beacher reported his babarous treatment to Can't Ran
dolph who was at the time in the American Copsu's
otlce Captain Randolph said, 81 will not leave this
island until you get satisfaction and will send YOU and
your crew home soon" Some spaniard. who happen
ed to be in the Consurs office at the time, communi-
Gated what Capt Randolph had said to the Captain of
the Port, who Immediately had the captain mate and
two OF his crew arrested and dragged to prison. He
then made his boast hatif the captain OF the Yankee
man of-war wanted his countrymen, he might come
ashore and get them The next day. early in the morn
ing, Capt Randolph had his ship hauled in as close as
possible the guns all loaded and ready for action and
then sent ashore his first lieutenant Mr. Rdgly with
letter to the COMMANDMENTS Chief stating that if the
men were not given up he would fire upon the town
Mayaguez was Immediately in commotion and the
men were given up in somewhat of hurry Captain
Randolph intends to demand the Captains chronome-
ter glass and chests. 1t is highly important that
American vessels should more frequently visit the
island OF Porto Rico The abuses and barbarty prac-
tsed on American citizens need to be prevented by some
some such argument as Capt. Randolph uted " Y.

GOVERNMENT STOCKS

Inc extraordinary amount OF Government stocks
transferred to foreigners during the last week is the sinh
lect OF gratifying remark. More than six hundred and
thirty thousand dollars were sent abroad in six DAYS
AT the rate would require less than two wears to
transfer the whole funded debt Of the United States into
the hands OF foreign capitalists. This isolated fact JUS
ttes an encouraging reflection upon our future prospe
rity, while also furnishes instructive source of re-
trospection.
In 1872 Congress passed act, authorizing-ifI re-
member rlghty-a loan of five millions of dollars The
Secretary OF the Treasury commissioned Col. Robneon
OF Pittsburg, to negotiate those bonds abroad Thev
were hawked through all the money markets of Europe
from London to Amsterdam, without finding purchas-
responsibility OF the Government. He returned under
most Illuminating conviction our limited credit abroad
he loan was subsequently sold in Wall street and al

cent below par. The classes osecurties are now
