luton of welcome to kossuth.
On Monday Mr.. Foote's resolutions on
the compromise were taken up. Mr.. +.
said he did not expect the resolution to be
unanimously adopted by both Houses of

NOBILITY IN TRoUBLE.-One day
when the flag ship of an American Com.
modore was lying in the bay of Naples,
she was honored by visit from the
King, and royal family. with suite, who
came out in gilded barges and the full
parade of loyalty. The ship was Dress
ed from deck TO truck in holiday attire;
side-boys were mustered at the ropes,
the marines presented arms, the guns
Numbered forth a royal salute, and the
Commodore welcomed his guests to the
quarterback with the politeness be6t-
ting an officer of rank.
One of the suit, a spindle-shanked
and guadily- attired NeapoIitan, strayed
away from the party, and cruising about
midships, espied windsaiI, an object
he had never seen before. As it was
fully expanded by the air, he took It for
a pillar, and folding his arms, leaned
against it, when il yielded to his weight,
and he disappeared below, heels over
head. with a velocity that was actually
marvellous, as was his escape from any
injury. The mishap chanced to have
only one witness. This was q veteran
tar, who, approaching the quarterback,
and touching his hat, said, respectful

Mere TerrIrory from Mckee.

The New York Herald OF Sunday
last, and the Tribune of Monday,
agree in the statement that parties
have reached this country from Mexi-
CO, prepared TO offer to our Govern
ment on reasonable terms, the whole
OF her States or provinces known as
Lower California, Sonora and Chi
huahua. The Herald says the British
bond-holdsrs have advised TO this
course, in order that Mexico may
have the means to preserve her Da-
tionality little longer. She will
part with portion Of her territory
which. instead Of being Of any prac-
tical use TO her, is absolutely an incu-
bus upon her-containing but a
sparse population of loyal people,
and large portion OF those who are
moi; while the Indians are constantly
laying waste the more valuable re-
gions adapted to cultivation and gra-
zing. Sonora and Chihuahua are
both rich in the precious metals, and
the former is one Of the best grazing
countries on the continent.
The Herald thinks our government
ought TO study the map and be pre-
pared for the offer, that we may have
a land-rout TO California; it also
thinks that after it is obtained the
South should have it, while the
Tribune distinctly gives notice "that
no such operation can be made to
extend the area OF slavery. The day
The project is seriously put before
the Anne lean people that day begins
