~ Hon. Mr.. Campbell, of Illinois,
has written letter to the Galena j fierso-
Man, in which, referring to the Dubuque
and keokuk Railroad Land Grant, he
says:
"My opposition is confined to the
Reokuk and Dubuque Grant. and
have never intimated that would oppose
the Davenport and Council Bluffs Road.
| am against the Dubuque and keokuk
Grant, because it proposes to construct a
road running parallel with the Mississippi
River. am opposed TO it because i,
will prevent the improvement of the
Rapids in the Mississippi by the General
Government. am opposed to il because
il will effectually destroy the river inter-
est, between Dubuque and Kecauk, and
is intended 10 advance the interest OF
the t"5 last mentioned points, a, the
sacrifice of all the Intervening towns on
both sides of the river.

ACCIDENT ON THE ILLINOIS RIVER

ACCIDENT ON THE ILLINOIS RIVER
On Friday night last, the steamer ANA
zonia, whilst ascending the river, came
i'm collision with the draw of the Peoria
bridge which resulted in knocking the
east half of it off close up to the pier
upon which it turned. Il appears that
the usual signal was given by the boat
for opening the draw which Tor some
cause or other, was UNDECIDED. The
boat kept on her way, and whilst under
a full head of steam, struck the draw;
the force Of the blow was suflicien, TO
throw all the passengers out OF their
lberths although owing to the strength OF
the spars carried on the. forecas,le, the
cabin was prevented from being raked
entirely Of; and, consequently, no lives
lost. The Pekin Reveille. from which
we CLEAN the above facts, adds that mo
attempt will be made to rebuild the draw,
as il is considered a nuisance.-Mo.

" A gay and animated scene, Of a
novel character, was presented at the
] French opera last evening. Every seat
was taken, every inch Of standing room
= was occupied by eager and excited spec,
tators. The cause of all this turmoil
and pressure was the announcement that
in the grand scene of The masked ball.
from the opera Of "Gustave," number
of the amateur masquers who were in the
DAVIS procession would appear and dance
a quadrille gnlop. The curtain drew
up. and truly the stage was a brilliant
aud picturesque scene. The exhilara-
ting music of Auber's salop struck up.
and crowd of maequers, actors and am
ateurs. in every variety Of costLme--as
Bedouins, clowns, queens, knights, pier
rots, debardeurs, newly married brides,
cuirassiers, babies, Hercules, and we
know no: how many other queer and
fantastic personages-frst swept round
in a promenade en- nasse, and then the
amateurs executed the figures of quad
rifle. Considering that IL was their first
appearance on any stage, they did very
well indeed. Some falls and mistakes
took place. but they only added TO the
hustle and hilari;y of the scene. The
audience laughed and applauded over and
over again, as if they never would be
satisfied. The whole affair was very
amusingand pleasantly. O. Pfcay,n'e
