number OF Wharshippers could he accom-
modated, but that the opening ceremo
nle- might be performed with create
maiesty and impresslveness.
SIGNS OF DISTRESS The friends aht
supporters OF Mr. Fremont are beginning
to feel that their caase is not likely (,
be 80 successful as they desire, or as the
have represented, \ circular, says tn
journal of Commerce, has been ISSUED
TO the faithful, Cor those supposed to b,
SOY in this city, calling upon them t,
contribute both by their presence ant
purse. to help the sinking cause. Ihi
is quite consistent with the prudent ad
vice giyen them by one OF their leading
organs on Saturday, TO temper rattle
than TO increase their confidence in tn
elections Of Fremont and Dayron.-N
