The Commission appointed to examine and adj
Indicate upon Mexican claims, have determined to
adjourn to the 10Th of April The necessity for this
step may be inferred from the fact that the amount
of claims already allowed by them, greater than
was altogether stipulated for by the treaty.
Daniel Webster leaves the Capital on the first Of

Light Weight in Flour.

About a year ago we called attention to The
fraud which was being procticed in packing
-four, and urged The matter upon the atten
tion of the Legislature. Bat little attention
however, was given to the subject by either
the press or the public at that time, until
very recently. At New Orleans, we perceive
fraud has deem detected in most OF the -four
from Saint Louis and the Illinois river, some
barrels falling short fifteen 10 twenty pounds.
The inspectors have determined to ireigh ev-
cry barrel that they may be called upon to in
spect, and mark on each package the weight
thereof. This will compel millers to give full
weight; hut as only small portion of the
-four manufactured passes under the eye of the
inspector, the evil cannot By this means be
entirely removed. The detection of the fraud
however, in so many cases, will tend TO make
purchasers as well as manufacturers more
careful.
At this season Of The year, few lots offour
would weigh 1856 lbs to the barrel, owing TO
the ordinary shrinkage of all flour manutac-
tured of sour new wheat; and for this some
allowance should be made, but the de-
ficiency of from Is to 25 lbs cannot be ac-
counted for in this way.
Now that the natter is attracting so much
attention, millers who value their reputation
will exercise more than ordinary care in pack

Russia and Poland.

The Journa! of the Russian Ministry Of
the Interior brings some statistical facts res
pecting the population in 1916. 1t stales
that in that year the population of Russia
in Europe numbered 52,565,32 souls, ex-
cluding the Kingdom of Poland, Finland,
and Trans Caucasia. The four western
governments Of Siberia numbered 2,l53, 1858;
the Kingdom of Poland, 1880, 900; Finland,
100000; Trans-Caucasia, 2,500,000; or
altogether 63,000,000 souls. If the inhabi-
tants OF Kdmschatka, 0chotz, Jakut, and the
Armenia possessions and the army be added,
the total will not probably be exaggerated
at 65 millions. OF these $4,000, 600 belong
10 the Eastern Church, 100000 are Catho-
lies, 3,500,000 are Protestants, 2,400,00C
are Mahometans, 1850 900 are Jews, l,000,.

Marine Disaters.

The number of vessels wrecked and lives
lost this fall has been very great. Scarcely
day passes that does not bring us news of
some calamity upon the lake, the river or
the sea. The severe storm. that occurred
upon the lake on the night Of the 23d ult.,
destroyed doubtless many vessels which
have not been reported, and il is said that
the Cleveland and Buffalo papers will not
publish but few Of those which are known
TO be lost, as the details of all the wrecks
and accidents would have a tendency to
drive travel to another route. Besides the
loss OF the Henry Clay and 80 hives, the
steamer Atlas, the bark Jane Gano, the col
lision OF the steamship VIM. Penn and the
schooner Belleisle and the consequent loss
of four lives, the loss of the British schooa-
er Brothers, the collision of the schooner
Saratoga and the steamer Buckeye State and
the loss of three men, there are many YES.
sells missing which it is feared have gont
down with crews and ell aboard.

latter to revisit hie family, at Bridgeport, on
the Sabbath. Many others were seriously
maimed..and bruised, among them two who
had both legs broken. ~
