Biackie, Professor Of Greek in the Uni

He is teaching his students to pronounce
Greek as they do in Greece, insisting
that it is not u dead. hut living

Blackie gives an extract from "A news

HOUSE.

The consideration Of the bill establishing
free trade with the BriUsh Provinces, was re-
sumed.
Mr.. Fuller of Maine, continued his speech
Of former day. lie alluded to the arguments
of the friends Of the bill, that it will promote
the interests OF Manufactures and Railroads.
lie did not deny this but Coutended on the
other hand tha, it would operate injuriously on
the interests which he more Immediately rep.
resents. 1t was for Congress to determine
whether the gain would warrant the sacrifice,
and who is TO be the victim. The difficulties
on the fishing coast, he had learned, were set
on foot Tor the purpose Of annoying the United
Stales, and compelling us to enter INTO reci-
procIty. lie was as dasirous Of setting these
questions, as TIE Provinces, bat not on the
bases proposed. lie designed TO suhmi; an
amendment, which will give them fair equiv
a.nt. The bill, he cnntended, was called one
for reciprocity bat the advantage was all on
the side Of the Provinces.
Mr.. Sabine offered n substitute for the BIZ
under consideration, and to regulate the aHir :,
curing, and selling fish and OIL obtained therc-
from, bstween the inhabitants Of the United
States and the inhabitants cf the British Plor-
nces. lie said there would be no measure of
reciprocity matured during she few days remain
ing of the present session, and that lie was de-
slrous of patching up the fishery difficulty till
the new administration could have time TO act
upon the whole subject.
Mr.. Fucker asked gentlemen not 10 vote
against the bill until they had alenuvely ex,
amlnei il. The first authority in relation to
reciprocity came from James X. Polk, late
Pres sGeEl Of the United States, the second au-
rhonty i James Buchanan, who recommended
the matter. With respect 10 the Csnadas, it
