shipped in August, lS4S and did duty on the ship
until October, 1850, when che had obtained her
cargo and was returning home At the Sandwich
Islands he deserted, in consequence, il is alleged
Of the unreasonable conduct ofthe captain but this
did not appear in evidence. The court held that
unjustifiable and continued desertion, occurring
during the voyage, worked in oil cases an entire
forfeiture OF wages. The minority of the son could
not affect the forfeiture inflicted by the maritime
law in cases of deserton. The libel was therefore,
dismissed with costs.-N. Y Com Advertiser.

TRANSFORMATIONS ON THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO
CANAL.-The Cumberland AHeghaniGn says that,
Notwithstanding the low stage Of water, forty two
boats, laden with coal, have departed from Cum
berland within the last eight days. These boats
have carried, on an average, sixty tons Of coal
about two thirds Of their various capacities. We
understand that the several levels between Cum
berland and Dam No. have from three TO four
feet Of water, which quantity will be likely TO be
kept up from the dam at Cumberland, unless the
drought should continue for several weeks longer,

MEXICAN CLAIMS ron INDEMNITv.--It is credi.
bly, stated that the Mexican government will short
ly prefer demand upon the United States for over
$4,000 600, for the n-futlment of the treaty OF
San Luis Potosi, which has resulted in extensive
Indian depredations on the frontiers.
We did not specially premise to compensate
Mexico or her citizens for damages done by ma
raudng lndians but we did promise to restrain
and punish tho ncursions Of the savages. As we
have done neither the one thing nor the other, we
are probably honorably bound to pay such an
amount may cover the actual damages done.
Says the article in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
under which these claims are to be brought for
ward:
cit is solemnly agreed that all such incursions
shall be forcibly restrained by the Government of
the United States, whenever this may be necessa-
ry; and that whenever that cannot be prevented
they shall be punished by the said Government,
and satisfaction for the same shall be exaced; all
in the same way, and with equal diligence and en-
ergy, as if the same incursions were meditated or
committed within it's own territory, against its
own citizens"
The Mexican minister has already notified our
Government, it is said, that under this article
claims will be preferred.
So much for the factious refusal Of q Locofoco
Congress to give the Administration the means to
comply with treaty obligations. Sixteen mil
lion dollars is a nice little TO pay for a dis
creditablc manifestation of partisan feeling, and a
desire to humbug the people with idea of re-
trenchment.-Nci0 Orleans Bulletin.

merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-

will deny To doubt that it will continue to be

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at grea,
expense, "a collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved Tor this
work are believed 10 be superior to any that have
ever been taken In The accomplishment of this grea,
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerrcotypcs are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living conntenance.
The ORA wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and In some respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography viii be exc
cu,ed carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % zchcs, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il
