1t is well known TINT the New York Commits
sioncrs and the Commissioners of the NJ. Episco-
pal Church, South, by the arbitration of Judge
Mel can, agreed on division of the funds of the
New York Book Concern, without appealing to
the Supreme Court cf the United States. Such
is not the case with the Cincinnati Book Concern,
which will take the case, so far as it is concerned,
to the supreme Court, the Southern Commissions
ers having refused to accede To the propositions
made to them by the Western Commissioners,
eontending that the Southern Division is already
short of its proper proportion, and that the pro-
position of the Western Commissioners would
still farther increase the disproportion.

" to the question, whether the Compromise of

Buton some collateral points he presented views
of much interest in II most eloquent and impress

in the Senate for another fortnight Even the
details of the bill are, as yet incomplete. The
pending proposition of Mr.. Douglas will remove
nearly all the objections of the friends of the BILL
for it sets aside the Missouri restriction, without
declaring it to be superseded. 1t may be object
ed however, by some of the State rights Sena-
tors, that it comedies too much to the squatters
in the territories.
