Of the 9Th ult., seems 10 indicate that the
annexation to the United States is the all

that the United States Commissioner, Mr..

a treaty. The king is understood to be in
favor Of it, but the heir apparent, Prince
Liholiho, who is young, intelligent, and
ambitious, has been Withheld through for

CAMPHENE VS.. INsURANCE.-The n.
Y Reporter, paper devoted to Insur-

three months have satisfied companies
that the present rates on some classes
of risks are so low that a decided ad.
vance must be obtained, with a full pro-
hibition of the use of camphene in any
shape. A positive refusal by all respon-
sible companies to take risks except with
prohibition of the use of burning fluids
of all kinds, would be the most speedy
and certain method of driving these dead
ly compounds into disuse. VIII they at

DICKENS LAST WORDS ABOUT AMER
IcA-Dickens closes his Chid's History
of England in the Household Words of
December 10, with the following SEN
tence:
at was in the reign of George LII.
that England lost North America by
persisting in taxing her without her own
consent. That immense country, made
Independent by Washington, and left TO
itself, became the United States, one Of
the greatest nations of the earth. In
these times in which [ write. it is hon
orably remarkable for protecting its sub
jects wherever they may travel, with a
dignity and determination which is
model for England Between you and
me, England has rather lost ground in
this respect since the days of Oliver
Cromwell"

"A Yankee and a Frenchman owned
pig in co-partnership. When the kill
ing time came, they wished to divide the
carcase. The Yankee was very anxious
to divide, so that he should get both hind
quarters, and pursuaded the Frenchman
that the proper way to divide it was to
cut it across the back. The Frenchman
agreed to it on the condition that the
Yankee would turn his back and take the
choice of the pieces after it was cut in
two. The Yankee turned his back, and
the Frenchman asked: 'Vich piece will

found that the Frenchman had cut off

HoT AIR NOT A FAILURE YET.-Capt.
Ericsson, of the Caloric ship, states that
there is not the slightest cause for doubt
in relation to this enterprise. The new
engines are completed, and have been
at work several days, their operation
proving conclusively that the practical
difficulties which attended the first argu-
ment have all been overcome. The
new engines are much reduced in size,
whilst their principles of action is the
same as before, with this exception only,
that condensed atmospheric air is employ
ed in place of the ordinary atmospheric,
for producing the motive power. This
modification admits of an increase of
power, limited only by the capability of
retaining the pressure in the machine.
Some difficulty has been experienced in
this respect, and it is this which has
caused some delay recently. The OBJ
stacle is, however, nearly removed, and
the public will shortly have an opportu-
nifty of Judging by practical evidence of
the merits of the Caloric ship.-N. Y
