Inc rarl oil ELIENBOROJGH wished 10 know
whether, If the Legislature of one colony should
concur, and the Legislature Of another colony should
object, the whole would fall to the groundl
The Earl Of DERBY quite agreed that, with re-
spect especially to the colonies interested in the
fisheries, il was most important their assent should
be obtained TO an arrangement which would Wit ally
affect their interests: but he was afraid that il
they were to consult the colonies with respect to
treaty with foreign country, they would be deal
ing with them az in fact independent.
The Duke OF NEWCASTLE said II was, Of course,
exceedingly difficult and inconvenicnt TO 60 into
discussion with reference to negotiations the
whole facts connected with which were not yet be-
fore their lordships house. He could only say that
this point had been considered very carefully that
legal opinions had been taken as TO whether the
provisions Of tie treaty would require confirmation
by the local legislatures in the different colonies
and that the legal opinions which were given were
to the effect that the assent Of the colonial legsa
lures was necessary to carry the provisions Of the
treaty into full and entire effect
NAL Legislatures above the Imperial Parliament, be-
was possible that the Legislature Of colony could
have any right, with respect to the conclusion OF
treaty with . foreign power, which the Imperial
Parliament did not possess?
Inc Duke Of NEWCASTLE repeated his protest as
10 The extreme Inconvenience Of discussing such
questions IN the absence Of that full information
which was essential to their being properly under
stood. He had never said that the colonial lcgsla-
trc bad any right with reference to the confirmation
Of treaty which the Imperial Parliament did not
poAsess. All that he had said was that acts of the
colonial Legislature would be necessary to give to
certain provisions Of the treaty full effect.

LOSS OF THE STEAMER PIKE

The st. Louis Republican of the 18th inst. eives
the following account of the disaster to the new
steamer Pike. while on her way from ST. Louis, to
Louisville last week. The account is furnished by
apassenger
About o'clock at night when all the passengers
were asleep, and the boat was making some fifteen
miles an hour, she struck snag or rock which
tore her bottom out and caused her to sink with
great rapidity. Not more than three minutes
elapsed before the water was up to the ladies'
cabin. So sudden was the accident, that women
and children became frantic with apprehension
Mothers were screaming for their children-hus.

Not knowing the number of female passengers

very aged gentleman and his wife, of Missouri
were going on visit TO their daughter, residing in
the neghborhood of Madison. some fifteen miles
back; they were drowned. When the boat struck,
she careened SO suddenly that the water filled the
oerths before the occupants could get out. Two
otner persons jumped overheard in front of the
wheethouse, and were lost. Three others sprang
out ut the stern of the vessel and sank to rise no
more.
It Is the impression of the writer that fifteen
lives were lost by this calamity.
