Boar. AND BoAr-BuIpso. we Yesterday

BoArs AND B0Ar-BUILDMa.--We yesterday
evening paid a visit to the ship-yard Of Mr..
Lambell, where we saw the prettiest specimen
Of canal boat We have ever looked upon Inc
last touch had just been given to her' anu sne
sat upon the waters so gracefully that we could
hardly believe her destined for the ordinary
usaa IF boat of burden. Yet such she is,
,ho,,,h possessing a neat cabin and fine accom-
modatious for a number Of passengers. Her
buII IL painted handsome drab, and her house
white. She is eighty five feet in length, four
teen in width, four feet deep from her guards
down, and is capable of carrying from eight
hundred to nine hundred barrels. She is made
of the best of materials and in every point gives
evidence of skillful workmanship and liberal
expenditure We understand her price to be
81 500. She has been built to the order of
Messrs. Smart & Bentley, two of the most en-
terprizing, sagacious and successful millers and
produce dealers within dozen counties around
us. Their establishment is on the canal, about
forty miles from Georgetown, and thence and
back to the District will be the future limits Of
her career. Mr.. Lambell once gave the name
of John p. Smart to fine little schooner now
in use in Mexico, and which has ever been at
tended with run of luck almost unprecedented;
and in return for that compliment this new boat
has been called the X. H. Lambell She is to
be commanded by Capt. Samuel Smart
We noticed at Mr.. Lambelps yard that he
had up for repairs the schooner Pennsylvania,
of St. Mary's county, commanded (and owned
we beleve) by Captain Abel. This craft win
undergo thorough repairs, at an expense of
probably 5000 or $500. The facilities at this
establishment for executing such work are of
the best kinds the railway upon which vessels
are drawn up is well constructed also, and con-
venient.
We learn upon inquiry that Mr.. Lambel
is about to give up this establishment and with
draw from the business, to give his whole at
tention to the other pursuits in which he has
been SO long engaged; but when it is known
that Mr.. THOMAS d. ALLEN, his most worthy
and skillful foreman, is to succeed him, we
have good assurance that many q handsome
and perfect specimen of workmanship is des-
| tined to glide from his hands into the crystal
current of the Potomac.

VALUE GIVEN TO CoTToS IN ITS TRAvsroR-
MATIoNs.-The enormous value given to cotton
in i,s various transformations, is shown in the
article Of lace, of which there is at the London
exhibition, doubtless n richer display than the
world ever saw together before. India, France,
Belgium and England are vieing for supremacy
in this manufacture. A manufacturer of Man.
chester furnished samples ofone pound of cotton
spun into 900 hanks, of $40 yards each, making
distance in all of d30 miles, should the single
thread be extended to its utmost. Another firm
exhibited 1900 hanks, of the same number of
yards each, from single pound ofcotton. The
first then exhibited one pound of cotton spun
into thread 1000 miles long, which shows the
perfection to which cotton machineryhas arrived.

THE CHOLERA AT PRINCETON, KY.-The
following extract from a etter written by
gentleman Mt Princeton, gives fearful accoun,
of the ravages of the cholera at that place:
June l9.-We have squaly times here al
present. The cholera abaied for few days
but within the last forty eight hours there have
been ten new cases. All that could get away
have left the place, and there are but four or
five families in town, and not enough to take
care Of the sick One Of our physicians, and his
wife died the day before yesterday, (Dr Miller, }
and the three physicians left are broken down;
and such is the panic, that we can get no one
from the country TO nurse or render any assis-
lance. Another doctor has been taken down
(Dr. CARR and ifany more are taken sick, there
is not the means Of rendering them assistance
The stores are closed and the town is picture
of desoatior.
We have had twenty deaths in the small mum
ber left in the village, and as there are three
new cases This morning, ! am afraid that none
of MS will escape the visitation.

the party TO whom such service or labor
may be due"
This is the supreme law of the land
speaking TO every citizen OF the repub-
lie. The command is impsratlve. There
is no avoiding, no escaping the obliga-
ton so long as We live under and claim
the protection Of the constitution. We
must yield implicit obedience or must
take the necessary siers to release our
selves from the obligation TO obey
There is no other alternative. We must
stand by the constitution Of the Union
with all its compromises, or we must a
bolsh it and resolve each State back in
TO its original elements. II is THEREFORE a
question of Union and Disunion. We
cannot expect our brethren and other
States TO remain faithful TO the compact
and permit us to be faithlcss. We are
required. therefore, to execute faithfully
and honestly the compact our fathers
have made for us. The divine law has
been appealed TO as authority for dsre-
gardIug our most sacred duties to soci-
ETY.. The city council have appealed to
II as an excuse for multiplying the iugl-
tive slave law, and committee embo
died the same principle in their resolu-
tons to the meeting in this hall last
night as applicable both TO the consli-
tuition and laws. The general PROPOSE
ton that there is law paramount to all
human cnactments-the law of the su-
preme Ruler of the UNIVERSE trust
that no christian and civilized people is
prepared to question, much less deny
We should ali recognize, respect, and
revere the divine law.
Mr.. Douglass exposed and condemn
ed in strong terms The doctrine that the
divine law was to he used as pattern
for dlsobedience 10 the laws of the land.
He believed there was law para
mount to all human cnactments, which
tt was the duty of every man to recog
nlze, respect, and revere; but that law
taught obedience, not resistance TO the
constituted authorities lie believed
the constitution Of the United States and
all the laws necessary to carry it into
effect were in harmony with the divine
law, and that a man performed lis mor
al and religious duties 10y being faithful
TO society, 10 his country, TO the laws,
and has oath, 10y not violating all that
was sacred IN pretended obedience to "a
" higher law" Than the constitution. 49,

prominent and respected citizens by

sage OF that or some other efficient law
