Our city has been profoundly quiet to day go far as

new Business paper being made and the best uusaia-

uncertainty as to the action of the Legislature and the
threatening Of refusal to take any &C ion whstever

mort OF us unwilling to entertain any desire for bust
ness beyond the necessities Of the hour. But at .
o'clock the telegraph Informed us that the Senate had
passed compromise bill relieving the bsDks from the
disabilities of suspension With assurances that the bill
was in fair way Of becoming law. People a. once

Evansville Coal.

The Louisville Democrat explains the or
isin Of those villanous smells from tie gas
in that city, which the Journal llbellousIy at
tributed to Evansville coal. The Democra,
says:
We are informed that this terrible in1iction
is owing to the fact that the Gas Company
are using a quantity of the cast-off fatty mat
ter. in the generation Of gas, which they OBJ
tain at the pork houses, very appropriately
called oiIal for it makes awful gas; and thus
to effect tritng economy, during the prevail
ing high price of coal, our senses of smell are
not only emburdened for the time, but ouI
health is actually endangered.
We thought the origin of the stenches would
be found Of domestic origin. The Superin
tendent OF the Louisville Gas Works have re-
ported to the proprietors Of the Bodiam Mines
that they find our coal next in excellency tt

TRADE OF l557.--Both in the United
States and Europe, present indications are
highly favorable TO prosperous and Who'll
some trade during the remainder of this year.
The London Times is discoursing at length in
series of articles, on the business prospects
of the opening year OF trade with all the ma
tons with which the English government
holds commercial intercourse. The tone OF
this leading organ is highly encouraging-and
while it holds out golden prospects to the le-
gitiinate merchant and manufacturer, it also
drops word Of caution to the more specula-
tive class of traders, to beware Of the distur
lance of trade that will naturally follow from
too free indulgence in the spirit Of gambling
which prevailed during the last year. Great
Britain is represented as richer now than at
any former period, while the general profits o.
commerce and manufacture. taking all branch
es of occupation into account, are beyond all
former example. The Times assumes, also
that while the profits Of English merchants
and manufactures are at the present time
larger and more rapid than ever, the country
is unusually free from any drain upon its re.
sources. The Indebtedness incurred by sub
scription and investments in Canadian and
United States railway projects, made previous
to the war, have been disbursed and are re.
garded as sources of profit to the capitalists
and merchants Of the country.
In the United States, the year 1857 com.
mences with numerous signs that it will be
a season Of unusual animation in every de
partment in business. The actual resources o
wealth will continue to be more fully and sub
tstantialIy developed, in proportion as the ia
cilities Of trade and commerce are augmented
which were never in a more rapid and health
full state Of progress. The sound financia
condition OF all the States OF the Union
the present time; the rapid development
of its mineral AMI agricultural resources
its rapidly extending commerce with the civ
ilized world; together with its unsurpassed
product ions in domestic manufactures, al
combine TO render the present year one Of un
riyaled prosperity in all the general features
of human progress. The invigorating in.
fluence Of such prospects is beginning to b.
! Felt in the reinotest regions Of the Union, anG
every where we see manifested an increased
animation in the industry of the country, sup
ported by well grounded confidence, in ulti
mate and unlimited success.

The OBJECT OF THE BOGUS ELECTION =
The Lafayette Journal gives the following as
the supposed clue to the motives Of Bright fol
bringing on the fraudulent election Of United
States Senator'S: r--,t.-i
The committee OF the United States Senate
will report agains. the credentials of Fitch
and Bright, but this report will not be made
till after the adjournment of our Legislature.
although against the sitting member the ends
OF the intriguing parties will be just as well
answered. For this would he vacancy while
there was no Legislature in session, and
would be Immediately filled by Gov. Willard
in the appointment Of the same man to the
Senate who would then hold his seat until
the next meeting Of the Legislature-two
years from the present time. This was the
trick from the start, and may possibly be car
rled out as was first designed. ~
