The commerce of Lake Champlain in 1851,
was over twentysix millions OF dollars -
AT the present time It's commerce must
amount to over thirty millions of dollars
This trade is large already, and yet the reci-
procity treaty will double it in five years.
Should it do this, its effects on Albany would
be incalculable. This city is the greatest
lumber market in the world, consequently
whatever tends to increase the lumber trade
ON Lake Champlain, tends directly to the
advancement OF the prosperity Of Albany

CHINA.-Hon. Humphrey Marshall, our

CHINA-Hon. Humphrey Marshall, our
late Minister to China, was on diplomatic
mission to Knoonsan, town of some i'm
portance ninety miles from Shanghai. He
had very pleasant interview with the Vice
roy of the Emperor, and was exceedingly
pleased with the trip. He has written an
interesting letter to our government, detail
ing the particulars, which has been published
in the papers.
Mr.. Marshall relates some facts which
are new to u.s. He thinks from his observa-
ton and information that more cotton is
raised in China than there is in the United
States, but that the population is SO immense
that it is scarcely sufficient to supply the
wants of the people. This will surprise
many who suppose that we of the United
States raise nearly all the cotton of the
world.

PANAMA RALRoAD.-The distance from
AspinwaIl to Panama is fifty miles. At
the latest dates, thrty-four miles of this
distance was traversed by railroad, leaving
sixteen for mule travel. The gap is now
being closed very fast. as the company have
commenced laying down rails at the Pana-
ma end, two miles having been laid down.,
and work commenced on the whole dis
lance with the exception of three miles. At
this rate the transit from ocean to ocean
will soon be made by steam.

PUGET's SoUND.-Governor Stevens has
addressed a letter to Joseph Grinnell, Of
New York, expatiating upon the advan-
tages of Puget's Sound as rendezvous Of
whale and fishing ships in the Pacific. He
says there is vast amount Of the finest pine
lumber for spars, &c; that the country is
capable Of producing any quantity OF fresh
provisions, and that the harbor is one.of the
very best in the world. He advises those
interested in whale ships to make location
and build up town on the Sound. 1t
would yield a large return as an investment,
and would be a convenient and desirable
stopping place for the ships.

THE MINERAL WEALTH OF MExIco.-A
well-posted correspondent of the New York
Times says:
'Santa Anna availed himself of his re
cent march to Acapulco to test the accuracy
of the reports that the mountains Of GueI-
rero contain extensive coal mines The re-
suit of his investigation satisfies him that
there are almost inexhaustible supplies OF
this valuable article, which can be supplied
in any quantity at Acapulco, at cost con
siderably less than the freight on that now
carried there from England and the Atlantic
States for the use of our steamers Santa
Anna has also satisfied himself that the un-
developed precious mineral wealth of Mexi-
co is immeasurably greater than has ever
heretofore been supposed, and it is his desire
and purpose to adopt measures to make
these treasures available What these meas
ures are remains to be seen.'

The TEXAS DEBT.-The Senate has passed
bill to pay the public debt of Texas. The
sum of $8,500,000 is appropriated for that
purpose. When Texas came into the Union
it held all its lands, and the United States
did not agree to pay its debt. These lands
were held for this purpose, by that State
Now it is proposed to pay the debt out OF
the National treasury, but we do not see
that Texas relinquishes her lands to the
general government. 1t strikes us that there
is something radically wrong about this
movement. We trust there is no Galphin-
ism at the bottom of it, but it has strong
squint that way.

FRAUD AND FAILURE.-R. Schuyler, Presl
dent of the New York and New Haven rail-
road company. and an extensive railroad
stock dealer, has lately failed for large
amount. Since his failure, it is ascertained
that he has forged and issued over -, 800,
900 of fraudulent stock of the company OF
which he was the President. Several other
railroad companies suffer by him-among
them the Beloit, Ill.,, company had deposited
money to buy iron, and have been defrauded
out Of all.

Judge Johnson. it will be remembered,
defended Fisher w. Ames on his trial for
shooting James G. Hall, all Of Cincinnati.
The jury acquitted Ames, very much to the
surprise Of every body.
The Cincinnati Commercial says, few
weeks since, Judge Johnson presented his
bill to Dan. Ames, father of the Dr., and
put the figures at $4,000. The old gentle
man refused to come down, though ne had
the reputation of being worth at least $780,
900. He said he might pay $500, &c. But
Johnson was inexorable and brought suit for
the amount, with interest. &c. The case
was lately decided and judgment was rem
.dered against Ames for $2250. Execution
was issued, and 10 Ames has no property
He has beaten his opponent at last.

Some days since Judge Smith of the Wis

Slave law unconstitutional An appeal was
taken to the supreme court of the State, and
we learn by the Chicago Tribune that Chief
Justice Wilton of the court has pronounced
the unanimous opinion of that court con-
jirmiRg the opinion of Judge Smith. This
is an important movement. 1t will proba-
bly, result in taking the case to the L. S.

A SUCCESSFUL TRAP.-The Cincinnati
Commercial set trap few days ago to
catch the Enquirer, and the latter walked in
without any coaxing whatever. Thus the
thing was done The Commercial published
as editorial an article proving extravaganza,
corruption. &c, against the Board of Public
Works. Thereupon the Enquirer charged
the Commercial with being Whig paper in
disguise, and supporter of the fusion
ticket. Next day the Commercial explained
that the article which so provoked the wrath
of the Enquirer, was copied from the latter
paper, being its leader in the issue of Sun
day morning, Jan. 22d, 1884. The CONNER
cial had simply borrowed it, for the fun of
seeing puppy quarrel with his own tail.

of the city, and near Scales Mound. For
