mr. CushIua,s BLACK BIlI.

We have seen no action on this
Bill since that already given to our
readers. We presume there is little
cfiance Of any such bill becoming a
law. though we are satisfied there is
a strong feeling in the State in IFS
favor. II an efficient law. preven-
ting the settlement Of blacks In our
State, could be passed. we believe its
effects would be beneficial both to
whites and blacks. For so long as
they are permitted to settle among
us as now. We mag expect that slave
States will continue to pass severe
laws for the purpose OF driving their
free blacks beyond the bounds ol
their own State--so long will man.

correspondent oi the Baltimore Pat

says:
The excitement, engrossing as II
has been, ever since Senator Hunter
left here on a visit TO General Pierce,
this morning reached q climax
when it was geographically reported
that Senator Soule had received a
despatch from Concord, stating that
the cabinet was selected and would
be as follows:
Secretary of Sate-Senator R. M
I. Hunter, of Virginia.
Secretary of the Tredsury-Sli,
dell, Of Louisiana.
Secretary of Wr-John A. Dix
of New York.

johnson, of Arkansas.
Secretary of the Interior. D.
Bright, of Indiana.
Postmaster General-S. Medary
of Ohio.
Attorney >General-A. 0. P. Mich.
olson OF Tennessee.
The report may be true, but as il
is said tbs dispatch was received
from Concord, while, according 10
the last accounts, Gen. Pierce was in
Boston, il comes to Us in questions
bic shape. Those who do not like
it, may therefore dispute its correct

JAPAN.-It is estimated by an
article in De Bows Review that the
trade OF japan with this country, il
she opens her ports, will be worth
more than S200,000.000 annually,
This is more than the entire value oI
the annual exports oI the United
States to Great Britain. The popu-
la,ion is put at 50,000.00O. The
Empire consists OF three thousand
eight hundred and fifty islands lying
off the coast of China, having an
area about equal to that Of Germany,
including Prussia and Austria, or
about six times that Of the State oi

the battle that took place between
the regulars under Barave, and the

was quito sanguinary, and the
Guards succeeded in beating off their
assailants. The money and rein
forcements which on the Sd had
been sent by Avalos, returned to
Matamoros on the 18th, without
having formed a junction with his
lieutenant, and private letters from
Barave's quarters state that they had
been repulsed at Vistoria with con-
siderable loss, and had retired to the
Mission where they intended TO re-

that the butchers here are irving all
they know how to starve out the cit-
izens. 1t is about once in three
weeks that beef is brought TO mar
ket, and the person who gets there
first generally leaves but a small
portion for his nelghbors. The man.
ner in which the markets are at pre-
sent supplied is a disgrace TO the
cleaver and knife, and instead OF
having gone to the expense of erect
ing a new and commodious market

would be sufficiently large TO ac-
commodate all that is generally
brought.

Features OF the New Code.

We see by the proceedings ofthe Leg
islature that the Code Commissioners
have reported. We suppose the people
will be made acquainted with the con-
tents in the process of time. Until we
receive something more full, the follow
ing, from the Circleville Herald, will
give an idea Of the changes proposed:
SIT will abolish the distinction be-
tween actions at law and suits in chan.
Gerry, and provide for one form of action
in all civil cases. This part OF the Code
will include all the proceedings in an
action. and the necessary provisional
remedies before and after judgment. 1t
is intended to apply to all the Courts of
Record in the State, except the Probate
Court. and would supersede our present
act regulating the practice of Judicial
Courts; the act directing the mode of
proceeding in Chancery; the act regula.
ting judgments and executions; the act
for the limitation Of actions; the acts
regulating attachments, foreign and do
mestic; the act regulating writs of re-
plevin; and all other acts to amend Ell
ther of the above named acts.
There are, however. several statutory
proceedings and remedies which il was
the intention of the Commissioners not
to repeal. Among these are the stat.
utes regulating proceedings in partition,
dover and divorce; the act to1egulate
proceedings when banks and bankers
are parties; the act for the support of il-
legitimate children; the act securing the
benefit of Habeds Corpus; and the acts
TO provide for the safe keeping of idiots,
lunatics, or insane persons. 1t is the
intention of the Commissioners to pre-
pare the draft of an act repeating the
several acts and parts of acts which
might come in conflict with the Code,
and this was intended to conclude that
portion of the Code above mentioned"

printed with his name on them for the
