ishment DAVID b. LOOMS. Esq, deserves
great credit Tor being the first to grappe
with the disagreeable circumstances attend
ing such trial, and to attempt to put a
stop TO these systematic depredations, by
bringing the guilty TO justice. At his in.

was arrested on Monday, and after an ex.
animation before Justice MrRpocK, was
held to bail in the sum of six hundred dol

The Statesman has the following TO say
about the sales of tho public lands next

Although the General Government may
deem this step necessary, IN the depressed
condition OF money matters throughout the
country, we regret exceedingly that sales

postp0nement could the Government. II the
sales were postponed until winter OF spring, a
majority OF settlers could dispose OF their sur.
plus crop TO more advantage, and would be
better enabled'0 pre- empt. As II h, however.
We see no other or better remedy for those
