The MINNESOTA IMBRoGL1o.- New
York Hefatd's st. Paul correspondent writing
on 9lst ult. states that the Demoeratic Con.
stitntional Convention had organized. and
that both the Democrats and Republicans
were hard at work perfeeting the organic law
Of the Territory. So far nothing had trans
PRED to indicate the character of the Consti-
tutions about to be put forth. twas gener
ally believed however that there would be no
essential difference between the two.
The question that is to be prominently put
before the people, when the Constitutions are
submitted for ratification, is, with regard to
the irregularity Of the first days proceedings
Of the members. The Republicans have pass.
ed resolutions, charging their opponents with
designing to prevent the immediate admission
OF tine Territory into the Union, and calling
on the people to hold meetings and express
7their views as to the question Of admission.

ELI THAYER's SETTLEMENT IN VIRGINIA is
to commence with tract of five Thousand
acres in Wayne county, purchased by the
"Homestead Aid Society" The land lies on
creek about two miles from the mouth OF the
Big Sandy river, which forms the boundary
line between Virginia and Kentucky. The
arrangements are making for the building of
a city, which is TO be the centre OF the colo
ny. This city is to be called Ceredo. The
tract Of ground is a splendid wheat growing
and pasturage country, is very healthy, and
well supplied with timber and coal 1t is
well situated for navigation, and from this
point there is constant weter communication
as far as Kanzas. 1t needs but a railway
to the James river and Kanawha canal, and a
new outlet for the produce OF the West is thus
made to Norfolk or Richmond. Gov. Wise
sees the importance of such an undertaking to
Virginia, and advocates it strongly The com
pany have already sent out SAC, 900 worth of
engines and machinery, with the intention of
making it a manufacturing place for the Vir-
ginia market. The first body of settlers will
go out the middle of August

CONVENIENT AND ECoNoMIcAL.- William
Grout, Esq of this city, has invented a small
stove furnace, with fat irons, one kind to be used
with gas, and another for alcohol which is adapted
to the use of milliners, tailors, hatters, dress
makers, and for family use. The apparatus may
be operated at a cost of one cent and half per
hour, thus avoiding the necessity of a FIRE in the
honse or shop during the warm season. We have
tested tfor family use with the most satisfactory
results, as we find that it can be attached to an
ordinary gas burner in an instant of time, and
that the ironing can be done with no more con-
sumption of gas than is required for single fish
tail burner. Tea or coffee can be made with it in
ten minutes, and meats may be cooked in pro
portionate length Of time; and it is believed that
no family, after testing its merits on the score of
convenience and economy, can afford to do with
out it. They may be had, at wholesale or retail,
of Mr.. Grout. whose Office is in Butman Row.

THE CUNNINGHAM CAsE.-We devote consid
Srable space this morning, to a statement of cir
camstances attending this interesting case, which
appears to absorb all attention just now Mrs.
Cunningham has evidently sadly over-reached
herself this time, and will hardly be able to es-
cape the dire penalty of the law. Not content
with the probability Of title to one-half of the
property of DR.. Burdell, she essayed, by means
mo bold and barefaced than really cunning. to
secure the other half in the person of an heir
claimed to be her son, and the prospect now is
thatshe will not only forfeit all title to any of the
Burdell estate, but be sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for series of years Thus will justice be
meted out to this wicked woman at last, through
her own indiscretion.
Further developments in the progress of the
trial are awited with interest.

The CITIES OF FRANcB.-T Though popula-
ton has evidently decreased in the agricul-
tural districts of Fiance most of the cities
show large increase of population within
the last twenty years. The same disposition
is manifested there which we find in the
United Statest. to escape from labor in the
country and seek business in the cities, and
1t is working out the same effects OF high
prices of food, and dullness and depression in
the manufacturing and commercial interests.
In all France, with its thirty five millions OF
inhabitants, there are only thrty-six cities
containing over eighteen thousand inha6i-
tants The largest populated cities were the
following. according 10 the census of 1851 !:

DEATH OF Hon JARED WEED We learn with
regret that Hen. Jared Weed died at his resi-
dence in Petersham on Thursday. Mr.. Weed
has long been one of the most prominent and
useful citizens in that section of the county.
He was lawyer in very respectable standing,
magistrate in whom the people had confidence,
an honest politician, and most worthy and ex-
cellent man. He was formerly Senator from
this county, in the Legislature, and for many
years was chairman of the Board of County Com
missioners, and, in many other ways, had re-
ceiyed tokens of the respect and confidence of
his fellow citizens. We understand his funeral
will be this afternoon.

O'Clock, P. NJ, to complete the arrangement of
the Representative Districts in this County. The
