The Naturalization Blu Before Congress

The Naturalization Blu Before Congress-
We were informed several days since by teIe>
graph that Mr Adams, of Massachusetts, had
introduced in the House a bill to amend the
naturalization laws. The bill provides that no
foreigner BY birth shall make application to be-
come a citizen of the United States until he
has been resident for twenty one continuous
years; and i prohibits, under a penalty Of $500,
any vessel to bring to the United States any
person Of foreign birth, unless he has a certif-
cate from a United States consul showing that
he is Of good character, has never been convic>
ted ola criminal offence, and is not a pauper.
The bill may possibly pass the House, butt
stands no chance of success in the Senate.

Launch 81 tIne N1agara.

The great steam vessel of war Niagara was
launched successfully on the 23d at the New
York Navy Yard. From an account il the
Times we extract the following:
Men in the hull eagerly eyed the seams, and
looked close for water, but she had not leaked
a drop, and there was not the slightest indica-
ton Of strain OF wrench. Bets had been made
that her lines would be altered from ten 70
eighteen or twenty inches, and those who wish.
ed best for her estimated that she would alter
from five TO eight inches. But when she was
fairly afloat and her lines taken, it was found
that the alteration was but fifteen eighteeths Of
an inch.
She is S45 feet long, and is of 5000 tons
burden. She is to be ship.rigged, and her
mainmast from the keel to fag-pole will be
200 feet high. She is to have three engines.
and is calculated to 60 II knots an hour with
a good breeze. or Is knots under steam. Her
cost is about s 100000, She is larger than
the Persia-iarger than any steamer af1oat-
though Mr.. Steers has on the ways the Adriatic,
for the Collins line, which il several hundred
tons larger; and in England they are building
one SO large that it is thought they'll have to
bring her to this country to getwater to float
her.

Assvrian Dfscoverv.

NebWchGdnezzGr Dug Up.--It is stated that
Col. Rawlinson who is at present engaged IN
prosecuting the discoveries commenced by
Layard and Botta, and in exhuming from the
mounds of the long lost rival cities of Nineveh
and Babylon, the instructive remains of this
once gigantic power, has lately discovered in a
stale of perfect preservation, what is believed
to be the mummy of Northumberland. The
face of the rebellious monarch of Babylon, GOV.
eredtby one Of those gold masks usually found
in Assyrian tombs, is described as very hand-
some-the forehead high and commanding, the
features marked and regular. This interesting
relic of remote antiquity is for the present pre-,
served in the Museum of the East India Com.
pany. Of all the mighty empires which have
left a lasting impression on the memory, none
has so completely persisted as that of Assyria.
More than two thousand years have gone by
since the two "great cities" renowned for their
strength, their luxury, and their magnifcence,
have crumbled into dust, leaving no visible
trace of their existence, their very sites forgot
ten. A chance traveller, Layard, riding through
the Mesopotamain valley, discovered "the bur-
led city," and with a success that will immor-
talize his name, has commenced to uuroll the
book ofAssyrian history and civilization, which
of all the histories of the first periods of the
world, is most clearly connected with the SUBJ
sequent d%estinies Of the human race. The dis
c%oVeries already made furnish ample testimony
to refute the sceptic and unbelieyer of scripture
truth.

, The Old Line Wings going for FILLMORE
The old line Wings of New York City met in
Constitution Hall, on the night Of the 26th, and
resolved to fire one hundred guns in honor of
the nomination of MiIlard Fillmore for Presi.
dent Of the United States. This seems signifi.
cant.
In the Convention, subsequent to Mr.. Fill
more's nomination, many speeches were made
Indicative of the satisfaction felt at the result.
From a brief report Of remarks by Mr.. A. H.
H. Stewart, former Secretary of the Interior
under Fillmore. we extract the following:
Even Mr.. Wise, at the time he stumped the
State of Virginia, said that the administration
Of Fillmore was Washington like throughout.
With Fillmore as the standard.bearer, the
speaker promised the convention that even old
Virginia would be carried. Mr.. Wise claimed
bis election by the vote of 1900 outside
Wings, and he could now promise the vote of
those wings for Willard Fillmore. On his way
to this convention the editors of the Richmond
Wing and National lnteIligencer promised that
if Willard Fillmore was nominated by this con.
%vention, they would place his name at the mast.
head, and keep it there.

Hiring Of Slaves. Decisions

Hiring q SIaUes.- Interesting Ueclsions.-
The Nashville Banner, Of the 7th inst, says:
The Supreme Court of Tennessee decided,
at last term, that hirer of a slave was not aus
thorized to re-hire him without the assent of
the owner, and if he did so, and the negro died
or was injured, the hirer might be sued by the
owner and recovered against for the whole
value of the slave.
They also decided that a negro hired in this
State could not, without the assent of the own.
er, be removed from the State, or even from
the county where he was hired, and if he was
so, it would be a conversion.
