knew it, and knew that George was a
smart fellow and would, as he often said,
''nake stir in the world" He thought
that George and his daughter would make
good match and that the former would
feel highly complimented at the propo-
sal. Therefore, soon after Mr. Moore
first heard the foregoing report, he called
George one side aud "opened the case"

Oxygenated Bittsrs In Emrope.

From Rev. L. DooLIrrLE, highly respectable
Clergyman.
PARIS, November, J, 1852.
Dear Sr,-About two years since made use
of a few bottles Of your OxHgenafed Bitters, for
stomach complaint which was at that time re-
lieved.
Since my stay in England and France, have
found my old enemy, irritablity of the stomach,
returning again. have not found any prescrip-
ton to afford me relief, and made inquiries in
London for your Oxygenated Baters, but could
not find any. Iwrite now to beg you will do
me the favor to send by the earliest steamer to
Havre, half dozen bottles
An old friend of mine in England, Captain
jackson of the British Army, found, on nv
ARRIVAL suffering from Asthma, manifestly the
result Of dyspepsia. Send an additional half a
dozen bottles, should like to have the Captain
try the medicine.
! am not aware that my name is known to
you. | have been the resident Clergyman for
some twenty-three years, in Sherbrook and
Lennoxville, Canada East, to which charge |
hope to be able to return in the SPRING

CoSrEMPrIBLE.-A Lecomptonite paper calls
Gen. Shields, one of the Senators elect from
Minnesota, by the title of aPaddy Shields" be-
cause he sides with Douglas. The fourteen
thousandth part of the noble soul of this gallant
lrishman might be subdivided ten thousand
times ere piece could be found so small as to
compare in littleness with the entire soul of the
man who could apply such an epithet to one
who has added lustre to the American name
by valorous deeds in fighting the battles of his
adopted country. One drop of the blood which
he poured out on the soil of Mexico amid the
laundering and fire of battle, would be ample to
drown ten thousand bastard souls ofthe dimen-
slons of the Que which prompted the utterance
OF the Infamous fling" which we have men

WITHDRAwS-The opposition line of steamers
between San Francisco and New York, has been
Withdrawn, and those who purchased tickets to
60 on the Sonora were, if they desired it, trans
ierred to the Pacific Mail Steamer. 1t is be-
lieyed that Messrs Garrison & Co., started the
new line for the simple purpose of being bought
off by the Mail Line, and have accomplished
their object. 1t is now stated that Commodore
VANDERBILT, who has heretofore been receiving
$4,000 per month from the Mail Line to keep
off the route, intended to start rival line of
steamers between New York and San Francisco,
by the Panama Isthmus, on the 9Th March.

Law ill,which was intended to punish severely
any man or set Of men who should take the law
in their own hands on any possible occasion,
approached the Unions reporter while that gen.

and writing, in the Assembly chamber, and qui-
etly and unexcitedly $50 the papers say,) asked
him whether he had furnished the report of the
legislative proceedings of the day previous, as
published in the Union of that morning. On
being answered in the affirmative, he struck the
reporter in the face, and stepped back and
grabbed an umbrella, but before he could use il

whip every G. d. man the Union office who
misrepresented him. The reporter is a rather

is, apparently, robust and strong man. The

An Old Monopoly at an End.

The venerable East India Company
is now about to part with its once i'm
mense political power. That corpora
ton began with Queen Elizabeth, and
virtually ends with Queen Victoria
For more than two hundred and fifty
years, it has been one of the ''powers"
of the earth. Recent events have made
n termination of this authority i%uevita-
Bile, and the British government some
time since determined on taking the
responsibility on that still very dis
turbed and uncertain question. Lord
Stanley's bill for this purpose has o
become a law. The act provides that
the administration of Iudia shall be
conducted by a Secretary of State, espe-
cially appointed for this post, and as
sisted by a Council, of which he is the
President and manager. The council
is to consist of fifteen members, eight
nominated by the Crown and seven by
the present Court Of Directors of the
East India Company; and vacancies
hereafter are to be filled alternately by
the nomination of the Secretary of State
for India and by the remaining members
of the Council. The company, there
fore, is recognized in this scheme only
as an existing body, whose experience it
is desirable for the Government to use
in setting the new plan in operation.
