the Exchange, yesterday, to consider the propo-

Observatory at the seat of the University. We

SWAMP LANDs.-Our readers are aware that
by law of Congress, all the swamp lands in this
State, comprising all those descriptions of land,
certain portions of which appear to be swamp
lands by the returns of the Surveyor General,
have been donated to the State for special pur-
poses. The title becomes vested in the State,
to be disposed Of under such rules and regula-
tons as the Legislature of the State may adopt.
1t will be seen at once that this subject will
present to the coming Legislature, an important
topic for its consideration. Under proper regu-
lations, these lands may be disposed Of in such
a manner as to be of immense advantage to the
State, by way of offering inducements to settle
ment, improvement, &C., &c.
The subject is one by no means clear of diff
culties; and its discussion should call out the
best mind, ard the clearest and most liberal
judgment in the State. We shall endeavor to
lay before our readers, next week, the act of
Congress making the donation, and in the mean
time, if any man has word of counsel on the
subject, we shall be happy to make his thoughts
known through our columns. Aegan Record.

In Congress on the 28th of December Gen.
Cass offered in the Senate, resolution, that
"The President be requested to communicate
to the Senate, as far as may be compatible with
the public interest, any information in the De-
partment Of State respecting the establishment
of new British colony in Central America, to-
gether with the copy of proclamation received
at the same department, issued by the British at
the Balize, July II, 1852, announcing that Her
Most Gracious Majesty the Queen has been
pleased to constitute and make the islands of
Ruatan, Bonnacca, Utlla Barharat and Helena,
Colony, to be known and designated as the
Bay Islands, and signed by command of her
Majesty's superintendent, Augustus Fred. Gore,
Colonial Secretary and also, what measures, if
any, have been taken by the Executive to pre-
vent the violation Of that article of the treaty Of
Washington, Of July 4, 1850, between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, which provides that
neither party shall occupy fortify, or colonize,
or assume, or exercise any dominion over Mica
ragua, Costa Rica the Mosquito coast or any
part of Central America" We are glad that the
sagacious and patriotic Statesman has called at
tenion to this subject, and trust that it will not
be allowed to drop without severe inquiry in
to the English tenure of Baize, and especially
into the nature of the relations which, in spite
of the Clayton and Buwer treaty. are still kept
up by Great Britain on the Mosquito shore
There seems to be little doubt that this treaty
has proved complete nullity, and we hope it
will be decisvely terminated or most rigidly en-
forced

AN INCIDENT AMONG CALIFORNIA ADvEYTUR-

lowing. One Of his brothers, who resided in the
interior of this State, who went across the
plains TO California about two years ago, and the
brother who lived in the State Of New York,
went about the same time by the Isthmus, I'M
known to each other The one from Michigan
had worked season with party aoomng a riv-
er which resulted as most of such enterprises
did in not finding the precious metal; the party
had used up all their provisions ana funds Our
Wolverine started off alone to other diggngs to
seek employment, and while seated on a rock
resting himself, tired and hungry, rejecting up
on his situation, party of four miners came a.
cross him, and learning his destitute condition,
gave him something to eat, when he informed
them that he was from Mich. One Of
the party said that he had a brother living there
by the name of Josh -, and asked if he knew
him. "Know him ~ said our Wolverine why,
that is me-" The two brothers had met-the
change in their appearance, by long beard, &C.,
had prevented the recognition. Our Wolverine
was made one of the party, which was after
wards successful. Detroit Weekly Adv.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE REcEPTIoN.-On Sunday

through broken light of glass; and was making
further demonstrations, when Robert M. Steele,
a clerk in the above establishment, put stop
to his operations by driving both tines of pitch
fork into his countenanoe. The fellow uttered
a ptifuI groan and mzzled." From an exam
nation of the blood on the fork, we should
judge that it " went i'm ouer an inch
We would recommend TO those Of our citi-

of wood, hay, OATS &C., &C., to procure pitch
forks and use them. We presume that Mr.

ing them, and "warrant them not to cut in the
