CAPTAIN Marryatt only interests, amuses, en-
chains the reader. But we know of nothing
better fitted to drive away fit of the blues than
one of his stories. Their raciness and their
snirit are unbounded, and will surely interest
the reader, az well as amuse him.
If Captain MsrryattS pictures of life on board
in the naval service are correct, and we certainly
have no reason to suppose he has erred upon
the darker side, then it is sad fate for poor
or honest boy to become a midshipman. he

a Tbertne, or be scoffed at by all his fellows.

You have copied in your note the section
referred TO, hence | need only give my views in
relation to it. l am clearly of opinion that
the Legislature intended to Superadd to the

have resided in the Territory six months before

the act of the last Legislature expressly repeal.
my the election law as it stood before the pas
sage OF the act, and the rule which governs in
cases of repeal by implication is to examine
the provisions Of both the old and new statutes,
and II there be no inconsistency in their pro-
visions, If they are all reconcilable with each
CHER, and can have full operation, there is
10 repeal of the former by the latter.
The only inconsistency observable between
