yard, the remains of very ingenious, use
full, but somewhat eccentric person, named
RICHARD HALLwELL, who, for half Gen.
fury, practised dentistry, along with many
other descriptions of business. He willed
in due testamentary form, that the whole of
the teeth extracted by him should be buried

The opinion of the people of Texas on
the re-opening of the Slave Tradr-an
absurd proposition-is decidedly against
thu scheme. In the Fourth District, OcR1L.
TREE, who was nominated for Congress, and
was for the re-opening of the trade, received
3.437 votes, while his opponent, j. H.
REAGAN, received 23,967, or more. This is
pretty clear indication that Texas is not
disposed to adopt suicidal policy, even if
the Union would sanction it, which, from
the very nature of our political bands, it
never could do.
ONE of the objects of interest at San
Francisco is the exhibition of a cargo of
goods brought from Japan, including
large amount of beautiful toilet work, silk
and Grape goods, fancy toys and other
fancy articles, exhibiting high degree of
constructive ability and great mechanical
perfection in some of the arts. The growth
of commerce on the Pacific is placing the
cities on the western coast in closer relation
ship with the older portions of the Eastern
Continent, and if ever the exclusiveness of
the Japanese and the Chinese is to be
broken down, it will be through the enter
prise and commercial spirit of our OWE
people, acting from so favorable position
as they now occupy on the Pacific.

home, from Calcutta and Bombay, about
1000 British soldiers who have accepted
Lord CANNINGs permission to quit the
Indian army altogether, on its transfer from
the East India Company to the Queen of
Great Britain. The Great Eastern has
capacity, it is said, for conveying 10000
persons. Therefore, the batch of 1000 ex.
military men will by no means incommode
her.
Mr.. STURGEON has got himself into sad
disgrace with the London Press. At the
ceremony of laying the foundation stone of
his new tabernacle, it seems, his deacons re-
fused admittance to every representative of
the press except the gentleman sent by the
Times. 1t is found that this was deliberate.
ly done, Mr.. STURGEON having been much
offended by recent articles and paragraphs
concerning himself. A clever scene was en-.
acted at the ceremony. A gentleman went up
to the stone and put down notes for 93, 900.
"There," he said, "if any part or parties
will subscribe as much, will make it
10000" Wonderful to say, four or five
persons stepped forward and made up the
required amount.
