which are fuudontly sold in some parts of the

in different parts of the country by various axe

The genuine Collins axes, which have acquired such
an extensive reputation, are invariably stamped
" COLLINS a CO., HARTFORD" and each axe
has printed label with my signature. 1t is now

The LATE TERN IN THE Court OF SESSIONS.
An unprecedented amount of business has
been transacted in this court during the past
term. and the gratitude Of their fellow citizens
is due to the presiding Judge-Beebe-an his
ssociates-Aldermen Brisley and Francis, for
the indefatigable manner in which they have
discharged the important duty of clearing up
the arrears, and thus relieving the oyercrowded
city prison, frequently sitting till late hour
of the evening, whereas the letter of the
law only compels them to sit from eleven
O'Clock till three.
There have been had. during the fifteen days
Of the term forty-two jury trials; and sixteen
pleas of guilty have been taken. In some Of
these more than one defendant have been inn
pleaded. and the total number Of those tried
and pleaded guilty was sixty-eight. Thirty
one men and three women have been sent to
the State prison, and the aggregate term of
the sentences Is nincty-six years and nine
months
The Grand Jury have found one hundred and
ten bills Of Indictment. and dismissed fifteen
complaints. Cotemporarily with this, the Court
Of Special Sessions has sat twice week as
usual for two hours in the morning and dis

UPS AND Downs OF RoYALTY-THE KING OF
NAPLES SMELLING RAT.-We are informed,
from private source, that the King of Naples
whose late severe treatment of the people OF the
island of Sicily has made him somewhat noto-
rious among the lesser monarchs of Europe is
now pursuing totally different policy in the
said island. He is endeavoring to coaciliate
that people, in anticipation, as is supposed, of
the very possible contingency of being called
upon before long to make room in Naples for
young Murat and in that event. like another
Ferdinand, the present Bourbon, it is expected,
will fly for refuge to the Sicilans. To strength
en- this view of the subject it is said that an in
dividual, high in the interests of the Murat
family, had been seen in Naples incog. Well,
the old King is perhaps wise in making prepa-
rations for storm. The sky of Europe is tram
quill, to be sure but there are clouds all around
the horizon, and there is no telling how soon
we may hear the heavy roll of the gathering
thunder. And if the Napoleon dynasty is to be
thoroughly re-instated. the execution of Murat
suggests revolution OF two in some of the gov
ernments Of the Italian peninsula. The King
of Naples in considering these things, is wise
man.

The Movements of Great Britain VS.. the Mon.
roe Principle-The Practical Issue.

Whilst Senators of the United States are dis
cussing the true import Of treaty which owes
its existence to their sanction. and hesitate to
reafiirm the principles laid down by the fathers
of the republic las essential to its safety
while the Clayton and Bulwer treaty is merely
talked about, and the Monroe declaration held
in allegiance. and while the nation anxiously
awaits and impatiently urges the enforcement
of the one and the vindication of the other,
both the treaty in ts obvious provisions. and
the declaration in its most vital purport, are
violated and trampled under foot by Great
Britain.
We are weary Of this naction. The ques-
lions which press upon us are realities and
cannot be met with flights of rhetoric in the
Senate chamber They are practical, and must
be treated with something more substantial
than words. IT. while we observe treaties, we
are to require their observance, and if we really
mean to adhere to the principles which we
have so often proclaimed as constituting the
basis of that American system of policy of
which we are naturally the head, then the pre-
sent time requires Of us the boldest and most
decisive action.
As early as 1923, Mr.. Monroe solemnly de.
clared to the world that the American CONT
nents, by the free and Independent condition
which they had assumed and maintained, were
no longer to be considered as subjects for future
colonization by any European powers" This
principle was re-affirmcd by Mr.. Adams. and
Mr. Clay, in the height Of his glory gave it the
sanction Of his great name, and enforced it with
all his eloquence. In his celebrated letter Of
instructions to Messrs Poinsett and Sergeant.

ma Congress. he said
