MAYOR OF LoUIsvILLE.-Mr Barbee was
lately elected mayor Of Louisville, but Mr..
Speed, the incumbent at the time, held that his
term had not expired, and refused to give way
to his successor. A few days ago the City
Council was favored with the usual annual
message from each gentleman, and now we see
it stated that Mr.. Speed has appealed to court,
asking that Mr.. Barbee shall show why he ex.
ercises the functions Of MAYOR.

A BILL no ENLIST FOREIGN AUXILIARIEs--ln
the British House of Lords, on the 18th ult., the
Duke of Newcastle brought forward bill to en-
list foreigners into the British service, such en-
rollment not to exceed, at present, $4,000 men.
This foreign force is to be drilled and organized
in England, and to form, in fact, foreign legion
such as England employed in her American and
continental wars. The Earl of Derby made a
speech in opposition to the bill. He said -
eft rs "a most humHating confession, that be-
fore We have gone through two years Of war,
entered into in.conneciion with France, we are
obliged to have foreigners to do duty here. A
British Minister should blush to make such a
proposition"

THE OVERLAND STAGE ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA
We made some aluson few days ago to a
proposed overland stage route to the Pacific
The Caifornians seem to entertain similar ideas,
and we learn by recent papers from that State
that Messrs. Adams & Co, have already sent an
agent TO establish himself at Salt Lake City,
and to examine the route between there and CAL
itornia, an experienced mail contractor accompa-
nying the party to determine the feasibility of a
semi-monthly mail Meantime the company an
nounces its readiness to transport express mat
ter on mules. These arrangements, we pre-
sumo, refer only to the route between Salt
Lake and California; but they are Of the great
est Importance, as diminishing the distance re-
naming to be provided for by the overland
route.

A New MAINE LAW In MAssAcHUsETTs.--
THE coercionists in Massachusetts,, tired OF their
present prohbitory law, propose new enact
ment--a root and branch" affair. The new
law, or project of law, according to the Boston
Times consists of thirty-six sections, OF the
most stringent character One section provides
that dealer in liquor shall be sent to the House
of Correction for first offence. Ano,hef' ihat
INV ex nress man who shall carry liquor from one
place to another, provided he buys the article
from person or firm not legally entitled to sell
it. is to be treated as dealer, and sent to the
House Of Correction on being convicted OF the
offence. It is understood that the express men
do a larpe business 10 this providing of liquors.
A third section provides that person who is
fonnd drunk shall be made to tell where he pro-
cured his liquor, and that his evidence shall be
conclusive against the seller.
As the Albany AtGs well remarks, this ex.
detrimental legislation always needs tinkering
and once begun, grows from day to day more
inquisitorai and tyrannical."

twill be seen by the proceedings in
another column, that the gentleman whose
name heads this article, was put in nomi-
nation for the State Senate, by the con-
vention at Williamsburgh, on the 31st ult.
His nomination on the first ballot, and its
unanimous confirmation, are evidences of
the popularity of Mr.. LAWRENCE in his
district. He is probably better and more
favorably known in Monroe, than any
other man in the district, outside of our
own county, and there is perhaps, no man
in the district who is more universally
popular. He proposes to spend the two
weeks Immediately preceding the election
in this county, when every voter will have
achance to hear him.
His election is as certain as the return
