ARMoRIAL REARING..-Editor Of the Star
Dear Sir As you were kind enough to publish
my letter relative to 4" New TitIes'' on Monday,
there is another subject which, in my opinion. is
insep2rable from II, that is, the heading Of this
letter. AS OUT order, about to be established,
will require all kinds Of emblazonry on their
coach panels, crests, &c, respectfully suggest
a few In countries which we are rapidly en-
deavoring to ape, and where what is called old
nobility exists, the escutcheon q believe) repre-
sents some extraordinary incident or event In
the life of its founder and is accepted as the in
sigma of his descendants. AS we are fast imi-
| tating (rather unsuccessfully sometimes) every
thing foreign, 1t seems to me to be task Of but
| trifing difficulty, and will not demand vast
amount of scrutiny or very elaborate research, to
trace the origin of some of bold aspirants for
titled distinction. / therefore throw out the fol-
| lowing hints hoping they may aid the geneaogi-
| cal explorer in any f1culty he may encounter.

with becoming dignity. The present prosperous
financial condition Of the country of a verify will
warrant It.
FACrs AND RUMORs-The digest of Stats
tics of Manufactures for the Seventh Census,
/ l. ,,ol ~. IL.
Mr.. Nugent, the special agent of this Gov
| eminent to Frazer river, who is now in this
| city, reports that the Americans in British
| Columbia and Vancouver's Island are annoyed
| by exactioRs practised upon them by the colo
| NAL government and Hudson Bay Company.
Before leaving Mr.. N. published an address to
them, pmising the Intervention of the Uni
| ted States Government for the redress of those
| grievances, and exhorting them to strict ODE
dience to the laws. There were about three
| thousand people on Frazer river, but at the
| time of Mr.. Nugent's departure they were
constantly leaving.
1t is stated that the prosecutors of Judge
WatrOus are preparing evidence of other
| charges to impeach him before Congress
Mr.. Preston, the newly appointed U s Min
at dinner by the Spanish Minister, Senior
| Tassara, on Saturday.
THE CENsUs.-In speaking of the recent
movement in Congress, for taking the Census
in 1860, correspondent of the New York
Times who only objects to the present Census
law because OF the time required in compiling
the information, says:
cit is remarkable fact that there are now en-
gagged, in the Interior Department, a Superinten-
dent aud a corps Of clerks, compiling statistics
collected In 1850 and IL is said that wears will
still be required to finish that work. This is all
| enact some provision which shall limit the time
within which all the census statistics must be
compiled
This is an error. Those statistics are about
| finished, and the chief cause of their being 80
long delayed is that the Census of 1850 was
the first taken under the new law, and all the
minute items had to be classified and arranged
To take another Census under the present law,
probably less than half as much time for COM
piation would be required.
WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT.-We understand
that on New Years morning the water from
the receiving reservoir was admitted into the
lower division of the aqueduct. This division
consists of two miles of masonry conduit nine
feet in diameter, and half a mile of conduit
seven feet in diameter, on the northern bank
of the distributing reservoir
UNORsANIzED TERRIroRIEs.-There are now
In this city delegates from three unorganized
Territories, to wit: Dacotah, Arizona, and
Sierra Nevada; and a fourth is expected from
Calona Their object is to procure the organ
ization of territorial governments for the sew
eral Territories they represent.
