Mr.. Carr. of St. Mary, explained how he came
to sign Col Paynes document having for its object
the location of the Sugar Mart at Algiers.
Judge Cage, Of Terrebonne, explained how his
sons name came to be appended to the document,
and dealt Col Payne some rather hard raps, which
were applauded by the Convention.
Shortly afterward the Convention adjourned.
No distinct action was had upon the charter of
the Sugar Mart; but as it was evidently considered
adopted when the Convention adjourned, we pre-
sumo it was included with the report Of the COM
mittee when that document was adopted.

much for the patriotism and appreciation which the
citizens Of that city have for our country and our
tried countryman. A grand procession is laid out,
in which all societies and sects are invited to jon
and it is intended to make gala-day Of the coca
sion. The duty is eminently worthy Of the efforts
and expense that has been given to it. The subject
has had only short time to be considered having
been taken in hand anew since the erection of the
