NEW JERsEY.-There is an effort making in
New Jersey to get up ticket in opposition to
what is known as the Railroad Monopoly of
that State. Henry c. Carey Of Burlington, is
nominated as the anii.monopoly candidate for
Governor. We are not aware of the obiec-
tionable acts of the railroad monopoly of that
State, but it is certainly avery powerful mono
poly-one entirely able to do almost any thing
il pleases-whether it imposes on the public
or not. Yet there is another matter which is
about as obnoxious to the travelling public as
the railroad monopoly, and that is the State
tax of SO cents per head on all passengers not
citizens of New Jersey who cross that State in
railroads. This provision, however, we believe,
was a part of the condition upon which the
railroad monopoly was created. Com. Stock
ton was leading man in connecting the grand
machine, which includes both the Camden and
Amboy and the New York and Philadelphia
Railroads, and the Delaware and Raritan Ca
nal. 1t is tremendous affair-that monopo.
ly-and if it does nothing wrong, it certainly
is not for the want of power. The State tax
on travellers, however, ia a most odious im-
position, and calls forth the universal cen.
sure Of the public cry where. 1t is a stain
upon the character OF the good old State of
New Jersey.

INeuKsx ON THE BoDY or youNo Bnowxn--
TIE body Of Wiley Brewer (nos William Brewer,
= We had Il yesterday, was found yesterday morn
Ing about o'clock, under the stern Of the steamer
Roanoke. The search for Il had continued all
night, with diligence credtable to the officers Of
the Roanoke. Aninquest was held upon the body
ct half past II o'clock, BY Coroner Wicker. The
following testimony was elected:
- stoors, lst mate of the Roanoke, stated
that he sitting on the larboard side of the Roam
oke, when he heard the deceased cry "help help y
aud Immediately got the boat and went to his A..
sisance; but before be could reach him he had dis
appeared.
Capt Csvendy stated that the deceased was fish
ing when he left the Roanoke yesterday evening
About 8 o'clock, P NJ, one of his hands came to the
American Hotel and informed him that young
Brewer was drowned. Went Immediately to
Rockets and made search for the body, and con.
nued the search without success during the night,
and until this morning nine clock, when the body
was found.
G Thomas, porter to the Roanoke, was in the
water bathing some two or three minutes before
young Brewer came In. Witness started from the
boat to meet q young man who had swan across
the river-deceased followed him. When some
distance from him heard deceased cry "help
help!"-went Immediately to his assistance; but
before he could reach him he had sunk and did not
again rise to the surface-hsd he come up again
witness thinks he could have saved him.
The jury gave a verdict of accidental drowning
in accordance with the facts. Wiley Brewer was
about l6 years old-s handsome and promising
you,h-and SON of Abraham Brewer, of New York.
The remains of young Brewer were taken in the
Roanoke which left Yesterday, for New York.

An INcuRABLE TH1EF-Some months since,
Henry Scott, free negro, was tried, convicted and
punished for using the name of MIR Lipscomb, by
which to obtain variety of hardware articles from
Mr. Bray, on Broad street. The extent OF the cas-
teation then administered, one would have thought
amply sufficient to cure him of propensity for
appropriating the goods of others to bis own use,
but the result proves otherwise; for on yesterday
this same fellow made his appearance before the
Court to answer the charge of using the name Of
Henry Taylor to B & Jones, from whom he OBJ
tanned bacon, &c, to the amount of $40. Scott had
been employed by Mr. Taylor as teamster, but al
the time of obtaining the goods In question, was In
the service of another gentleman. The crims wa
clearly proved upon him, and he was ordered to re-
ceve stripes to the extent of the law at once, q
similar dose at the expiration of thirty days, and
then locked up in prison, where he will be kept one
year, unless he can give good and sufficient security
tina, his future conduct will be more correct.

THr FIsHERIEs DIFFICULTY.

The Journal of Commerce has some intel.
l;Sence from Washington on the subject Of the
fisheries difficulty. which Il publishes In =
prominent manner, and which 1t considers re-
liable. II 10 as follows:
A cabinet consultation was held on Mon.
day evening, at which il was agreed to act
upon the subject Of The fisheries difficulty with
the utmost promptness and forbearance, and
to bring the matter to an early adjustment
1t states that Mr.. Marcy, Mr.. Dotbin and the
President had acted on the subject in con.
ciliatory yet decided manner. The admins.
tration were convinced that an esrly settle.
ment of the difficulty will be effected and will
endeavor TO prevent any collision between our
fishermen and the British colonial vessels.
The Princeton and Fulton Steamers and
the brig of war Decatur are ordered for the
fishing grounds. Commodore Shubrick will
probably be in command.
The Journal farther states that Mr.. Cramp>
ton, the British Minister, aciuated by the mos,
just and peaceful sentiments, has left Wash
ington for Halifax, to obtain personal inter
view with Admiral Seymour on this subject
the matter being too important to be trusted to
a letter, or to an agent. Reciprocating the
wishes of the Administration, he will endeavol
to procure a senspension Of British orders,
until line shall be afforded for the completion
of the pending dip lomatic arrangements.
