New SrArEs.-The people of Oregon have
decided in favor Of forming State Constitu-
tion and government, and applying for admis-
sion into the Union. Minnesota has already
elected convention to draft State con-
stitution and the steps that have been taken
in Kansas are well known. Here are three
territories which will, at the approaching
session of Congress, be knocking at the
door of the Union. These three members
will increase the confederacy to thirty four
States. They will accomplish some impor-
tant geographical results. Minnesota will
complete the column Of States beginning with
louisiana on the Gulf and running north
ward through Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa.
1t will also complete the settlement of Mis-
sssppi valley proper, as we'll as the region
bordering the great northern lakes. Kansas
will be the second State of the column begin
ming on the Gulf with Texas; and of which
the territory Of Nebraska and the inchoate
territory of Neosho Dacotah will be the re-
naming portions. Oregon will be the second
State of the Pacific, leaving northermost
portion Of the column, Washington Terri
tory as usual the last to get into the
Union. In like manner the interior column
of States, of which New Mexico and Utah will
form portion, has the northern part yet
wild and unsettled.

FUG1TIvE SLAVES IN CANADA.-The day
before the propagation of the Canadian Par
liment, Col. Prince moved an address to
the Governor General, praying him to rein
state two justices who had been dismissed
for their conduct in delivering up a negro
claimed by the United States. on charge Of
horse stealing. Col. Price contended that
the magistrates had acted under the author
ity of statute till in force any which could
not be neutralized by the Ashburton treaty.
In the course of his address, which occupied
an hour. Col. Prince took occasion to speak
Of the negro fugitives as being most immoral
and unprincipled persons, and suggested that
they should be separated from the white pop
ulation which they contaminated by their vi
cis. The people of Canada treated them with
kindness but they repaid that kindness with
ingratitude; they were chiefly remarkable
for their filthy and dishonest features, and
should be sent to live by themselves on one
of the Manitouin Islands, or somewhere else,
where the whites would not suffer from con-
tact with them.

A correspondent Of the Louisiana Courier,
giving an account of the "Derby Day. thus
describes the greatest betting men in Eng
land:
"Conspicuous among those who were ma,
king their way to and fro through the crowd
was Mr.. Davis, the greatest betting man in
all England, and who was actively engaged
in completing his book for the coming race
To those who have read or heard of this in
dividua's sudden rise and extraordinary for
tunes in the racing ring, it may not be un-
interesting to say that, with the exception of
a sharp and we'll defined profile and keen
bright eye, there is nothing about the man to
indicate genius; his gait is Irregular, one foot
being slightly lame while the left shoulder is
so much higher than the right as to give
his body almost the appearance of fdeformity
He is of obscure origin, and when he began
his betting career he was working at his trade
as a journeyman carpenter He has lost
and won hundreds of thousands cf pounds
within the past few years and his conduct
throughout has been high-toned and strictly
honorable. He is said to have lost on one
occasion 10000, which he promptly paid,
and thus atfordng an honorable contrast to
the conduct under like circumstances of
his social betters, according to English ideas,
Of men with hereditary titles or bearing com
missions in the Queens service"

A CARGO OF CArs.--A New York mer-

cats from that celebrated Island, per schoon-
William f. Calls, of Nantucket, Captain
Smith. Fifty kittens were received on board
the schooner as part of the assorted cargo
On the voyage very rough weather was ex-
perienced. At first the tars attributed the
rapid succession of gales to the comet, but
one old sailor told the crew that is was
nothing outside the vessel that occas-
stoned the storm, that one cat was enough
to send any ship to Davy jones' Locker
and as they had fifty on board, not man
of them stood chance of setting foot on
dry land again. This was enough for the su-
perstitious crew and the cats were immed-
atey demanded Of the Captain, given up and
drowned. BY a singular coincidence, the
storm thereupon abated. The owner Of the
cats has now sued the owners of the vessel
for damages, laying the value of the cats at
$50 apiece-or S2500.-Al5any Express.
