on tho llthi 5roximo, calling for the number of
civil Qficers. absent from Kansas, which said
resolution I'D been passed, and on which q

Mr.. Bigs objected to the motion, on the

of Co lgresss 20 make the call.
Mr. WilsSA could not see how the Senator
from North Carolina or any other Senator could
object to the obtaining of the information called
for b.. the solution. They were informed that
MANI. civil Ulcers of the Territory were absent
from their.i osts, to the great detriment of the

Kingston, Jamaica, on the ZOth OF FEBRUARY,
with later news from most of the other islands.
Generally speaking, the weather was good, and
the prospects of the sugar crop encouraging.
The labor supply question engaged the atten
ton of all parties. Whilst the importation Of
African slaves, according to the French plan,
was denounced, it was acknowledged that the
plan of coolie emigration from India did not
promise any decided relief, and the hopes of
the arrival of convict sepoys were fast dinlin-
ishing. The public health remained good.
The recent conduct of the Emperor Napoleon
in encouraging the hostile fulminations of his
army against England has aroused the spirit of
John Bull, who retorts upon little Nap" with
some keen home thrusts. The London Times
reminds him that his uncle left a legacy of
81. 600 to CantiIlon, the soldier who attempted
to assassinate the Duke of Wellington, and that
he, Louis Napoleon, is said, shortly after his
seizure of the throne, to have sought this person
out, and to have paid him the legacy with
interest.
A correspondent of the 81. Louis Leader,
writing from Lawrence, K. T., says:
"rumor was started in this vicinity, last
evening, that the intelligence had been received
from Washington, by a confidential friend of
Mr.. Buchanan, resident in this city, indicating
the probable decapitation of Gov. Denver with
in the coming month, and the appointment of
the Hon. John X. Porter, of Albany, N. T., in
this stead"
The American press of Kentucky is unit in
opposition to the Lecompton swindle, and the
Maysville Eagle predicts that Marshall and
Underwood, the American Representatives in
Congress, will 60 against it on the final vote.
1t says they voted against the investigation,
because they thought the frauds so evident as
to require no further exposure.
Lecompton is fast using up the fragments Of
of the chief men Of that party have openly de.
clsred themselves with the Republicans--Sam.
