Capt l.. CORwlN of the Howaiian Bark
"Luika, y of whom mention is made in an
other article in to-day's paper, informs us
of the wreck of Chillian Bark-name,
unknown-which had been loading with
piles, and put to Sea from Soke IIarbor,
Yancouvcr's Island.
From the only suviver of the wreck, who
was taken of by Capt. c. in a partial state
of arrangement, and who had since died at
Steilacoom, we learn that he Informed Capt.
c., at lucid intervals that he was passen-
ger, bound for London, and a resident of
Nancouvcr's Island That the vessel water
logged off Cape Classct, about forty miles
from Cape Flattery that including the
Captain of the vessel, there were fifteen
passengers on board that there was a
Minister on board, supposed to be Rev. Mr..
Stems of Victoria that the Captain rig
ged sort of raft, on which himself and two
Of the passengers started for Cape Flattery
and are supposed to have been drowned.
We have no dates, names or information,
to lead to knowledge of anything impor-
tant for publication, and we trust our Van
couver friends will furnish us with informa-
tion in regard to the vessel and those on
board. The exhausted condition of the
man rescued prevented Capt. C. from OBJ
tanning reliable information.

Arrival Of Lieut.. Grover.

Just as we were going to press, Lieut.
GROVER of the Northern Pacific Railroad
exploration has arrived in Olympia. He
is in fine health, no accident of the slightest
nature has occurred to himself or any Of
his party. He left the member of Lieut
Mullan's party in the Bitter Root Valley
and Mr., Doty's party at Fort. Benton, all
in good health. Complete success has at
tended this trip. He reports only ono foot
Of snow in the Rocky Mountains was met

Important TO the Territory.

One of the most important occurrences
for the interest of the Territory which has
taken place since its creation and organiza-
tion, is that of the arrival here, Oh Wcdncs-
day Of the present week, of the Howaiian
Bark 'Luika," Capt. Corwin, who Sailed
from Honolulu, Woabii, Sandwich Islands,
on the 2sth Feb, making the passage to
thehead of the Sound in tho short space Of
25 days
BY reference to our adyertizing columns
the cargo win be found to consist of salt,
sugar, molasscs, tobacco, syrup, coffee, &C.,
natural productions of the Islands in ex-
change for which the Captain proposes to
make his return cargo consist Of lumber and
Ships spars. Hsr
A new era in the history of our ner Ter
ritory is about to dawn upon us, when, in
stead of~sending money out of the Terrific
ry foE the purchase of the above and other
articles, our immense numbering interest
will De at once subservcd by direct ex-
change, retaining large amount of the
precious metals in the territory-opening
q market for the surplus productions Of the
Islands, and mutually benefting both.
The "PoEnesian," an ably conducted
journal, published at Honolulu, referred to
this subject more than year ago, and it
is highly gratifying to us in being able to
see and make mention of the practical work
ings of a proposition for an exchange Of
commodities. ,.,. n.-
1t will readily occur to any person, that
the greater the draught on our numbering
interest, the greater will be the number Of
persons engaged in manufacturing it, and
the consequent increased demand for those
articles which enter so largely into the CON
sumption Of the people who would be en-
ployed in one Of our greatest interests.
Our admirable water privileges and the
number Of mills now in operation and IN
process Of construction, afford those engag-
ed facilities for loading down with lumber,
square timber, piles, cord wood or ship
spprs, all the vessels which may be required
tosupply the. demand not only of all the
Pacific coast and the Islands of the Sea,
but China, japan and the Indies.

b6r Below will be found the memorial rel
ative to the puget Sound Agricultural com
pany,p as introduced into the Council by Col.
McCoNAHA member of that body from Pierce
and King. 1t takes clear, comprehensive
and American view Of the subject, and we
doubt not will elicit the serious attention
of congress. 1t was supported in an able
speech by Mr. McCOSAHA, and the vote will
show, that it passed that body almost unan-
imously, being vote of ayes Z, noes / /;
and in the House the vote stood ayes o,
noes 8. ,Itwould probably have passed the
House with as much unanimity as the
Council butthatsom of the emembers in that
body had not sufficiently examined its de.
tails, desired to have it postponed until the
next day. .. '..'l ''.''' .,''' 20.
The, proceedings Of the House relative
thereto, are crowded out this week. .4a
In bringing forward and supporting this
bill, the councilman referred to has fully re-

Council took up the election bill again,
this time in shape of report from a commit
tee Of Conference Of both Houses An
amendment proposed the liberal provision
that six months residence was to be con-
strued as commencing with the emigrant
leaving his home with "bona fide" inten-
ton of settling in this Territory. The
amendment suggested was unanimously
adopted. The report of the committee was
adopted, and the bill as amended passed.
Mr.. Catln called for the Yeas and Nays,
saying that he could not face his constitu-
ents and support a bill allowing halfbreed
Indians to vote, and wished that his vote
should be recorded in the negative, Those
who voted Yea were Messrs. Balch, Brad
ford, Bigelow, Miles, Tappan, Yantis, and
Mr.. President.
Nay-Mr. Catlin-l.
A memorial was introduced by Mr.. Yam
tis asking Congress for a donation of two
Townships of land to build an University,
which was unanimously adopted. ''
The Council took up the memorial presen-
ted by Mr.. McConaha, in relation to the
extinction Of the titles Of the Puget Sound
Agricultural Company. The memorial
prayed for the extinction of their titles OF
any there be,) The phrase 'if any there
be-" was moved to be stricken out by Mr..
Bigelow, who advocated his motion in some
remarks in which he asserted his belief that
under the treaty there was no doubt the
Company had title" and the clause inti-
mated doubt as to such title. He favor
ed the extinguishment of their titles and
wanted to see the country rid of them, but
he thought it was an insult to the United
States to address memorial to that body
with an implication of doubt as to title
or right recognized by treaty.
Mr.. McConaha followed in an enthusias-
tic, hightoned American spcech-urged
Senators not to strike out the "gist" of the
petition. Not doubt" says the ferycnt
Senator, "when Cass and Benton and
