Tho Legislature Of tho State of
Vermont, at their session in November, 1855, ap-
propriated two thousand dollars for monument
to Ethan Allen, to be expended under the direction
of Committee of two persons to be appointed by
tho Gov of the State-ths monument to be erect
ed at the burial place Of Ethan Allen, in Bur-
lingtOn." The committee has been appointed, a
contract made for the work, the earth exeavated
for the foundation of the Monument at the burial
place" and near the remains-and the whole work
in fact completed, except the laying Of the founda-
ton and the blocks of granite which arc to consti-
tutc the Column, which may take fifteen or twenty
days
Under this state of things, is it not worse than
idle to attempt the removal of the location Of thi,
monument nearly two miles from the burial place,
by petition to the Committee or to the Governor,
| without legislative enactment, The Committee
the agents Of the State, and have no power but
what tho act gives them, as, indeed, other body
has but the Legislature, to which there has been
abundant opportunity of applying for tho purpose
| Of such removal,
But as matter Of propriety and taste, it would
seem as if there could not on reflection, be two
opinions as to the proprety of tho present locality
unless, indeed, memorials of the dead are to be
considered embellishments for public
| grounds. Our associations connect the name of
Allen with that spot-it has become an object of
patriotic pilgrimage, which will increase with in
crea.ing years, and it is, in and of itself beau
tiful and commanding a locality as we have. It's
matter of little consequence whether the perish
ing remains of the Patriot found, or whether
they lie under within ten feet Of the Monument,
they are there, in that burial place" p
SUICIDE OF FRANK FORESTER. VIM Henry
Herbert, better known to the public 10y the
name of Frank Forester, committed suicide
at the Stephens hotel in New York on the
18th lie was the author of several notable
works on field sports, fishing &C., and was
II large contributor to the sporting journals
He was an Englishman by birth, From
letters left by him on the table of the hotel,
addressed to the Press and to the coroner, it
seems that domestic infelicity was the I'M
mediate exciting cause of the act.
TRADE AT ST. LOUIS. The immense outlay
of government money for the support of

The PHOENIX S4oPs.-Those who thought
that sixty days was too short time set for
the completion Of the new Mechanic Shops at
the Lake, land we confess that we were of
the number) did not make sufficient allow
ance for the energy and ability of the
Brothers Pattee who took the whole Job of
re-erection. 1t is now FIVE weeks since the
work began, and there stand the new shops,
almost done. The walls are up, the roofs
on, and the flooring of two of the three
buildings down. All will be ready for tho
introduction of the shafting by the end of
this week. If the shafting was ready the
shops might be running in two weeks time.
AS the work will be completed and the
manufacturers at work pithin the time sct.
The buildings are substantial ,roomy, and, as
it seems to us, entirely safe from danger of
another sweeping sonhagration. They will
soon be humming with life and motion.
Among the concerns now preparing to oc-
cupy the shops, is a new Sash Door & Blind
Factory, to be established by Mr., Crosbie,

SENATE. Mr.. Seward of n. Y, submitted
the following
Resoivsd That the Committee on Foreign Rels-
tlons be instructed to enquire whether any legisa
ton is necessary to enable tho President of the
United states to protect American vessels against
British aggression in the gulf of Mexico, or clte-
where, and to report by bill or otherwise.
The resolution, in consequence of an OBJ
lection by Mr.. Mason, that we have as vet
only newspaper information, was temporarily
laid over, and the General Appropriation bill
was taken up as reported by the Finance
Committee and some unimportant amend
ment made.
On the discussion of the amendment re-
ported by Mr.. Bayard from the Judiciary
Committee, to allow the Attorney General to
employ two new officers, called assistants, in
his Office, at $4,000 salary, Mr. Hunter
spoke against it as an attempt to establish
higher order. lie also spoke in favor of
advancing the employees in all the depart
ments by merit alone. Mr.. Collamer of Vt,
was in favor of appointing an Assistant At
torney General, if such an officer was really
needed, hut could not sanction this new order
of officers. This amendment was lost, and
the bill passed.
HoUsE,-Thc resolution of the Committee
of accounts proposing the dismissal of Mr..
Hackney, the door keeper, for alleged official
misconduct occupied some time 4 statement
from Mr. Hackney was read, denying some
of the charges and asking for thorough
investigation.
Mr.. Kunkel of Md, remarked that Mr.
Hackney should b, dismissed, if there were
no other reasons, for his gross aud deliberate
abuse in exceeding his authority in the
appointment of his subordinates, and in
creasing the expenses of the folding-room
from 5000 or $500 to $4,000 or $500 per
month.
Mr.. Spinner of n, T., alluded to the fact
that false entries had been made on the books

ARREST OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TRANS

ii ghtyer from Saint Louis, two fellows sharp
in looks and sharper in action, got on at Che
str. They seized the earliest moment to press
themselves into game of poker in VIII CHI
they displayed roll of bills, and seemed ap-
ptrently very hushsof cash. One of the play
. observed that both Of the men would put
up bills Of $50, or SO, and draw down the
change in gold, which Immediately disappe-
AIRED. When another bet was made, n similar
Transaction would ensue. His suspicious being
aroused he examined one OF the twenty dollar
bills on the Gank of Missouri closely. and
discovered it was base. lie went for the clerk,
to be sure, who instantly pronounced il count
eIfeit. Cap. Tom Wrights attention was dir
C, tc | to the operation. lie ordered the men to
be searched. and the result was finding $500
in counterfeit, in $40 bills on the Bank of
Missouri, SO bills on the Nothcrn Bank of
Kentucky, aud some an Tennessee bank.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CoxvESnox.-The de-
mocratc county Convention, which met AT
this place on Saturday last. was the best at
tended convention that ever met in this county.
There was a larger number Of voting demo
Gratis and fewer soured politicians than had
ever before assembled on SIMILAR occasion
The business of the convention was conducted
in spirit of harmony and cancellation. The
large number Of men whose heads have whit
ened since they first put on the democratic
armor, and who are still devoted to democratic
principles, in that convention, gave an I'M
mistakable evidence Of the fact that the de-
mpcracy of Old Franklin will do their duty
nobly in the coming contest. Every candidate
was nominated either on the first ballot or by
reclamation. Not dissenting voice was
heard in all tho proceedings Of the conven-
ton.
One thing especially was really gratifying ia
every true Democrat, that was the good hum
ored manner in which the great majority OF
defeated aspirants acquiesced in the express
sell will Of the people. The proceedings of the
convention will be found in another col
umn.-Frankiia Democrat.

lSpecial Despatch TO me New YORK Tribune
WAsuISGroN, June ID:
Dispatches from England were received and
laid before the Cabinet yesterday. They do
not in any Substantial form correspond to the
expectations of the Administration, or the
opinions authorized by Lord Napiers assur-
snces. While they disclaim authority for any
offensive acts on the part of the cruisers in the
Gulf, and are prepared to nake reparation to
that extent, they insist upon the purpose Of
suppressing the slave trade by determined and
effective means. A disposition to exercise the
right of visit in the most acceptable manner is
ayowed, and to that end Malmesbury expresses
his willingness and desire to receive any sug-
gcstions from the American Government. The
unexpected tone Of these dispatches has made
much impression in the Cabinet, and it is be-
lieved our relations with England must assume
a different character from what has heretofore
existed.
