1 ROYALTY VISITING CANADA.-I is definitely understood, that His Royal Highness Albert Ed
 ward Saxc- -Coburg Gotha, the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne of Great Britain, will wis
 it the loyal subjects in the Provinces in the first
 week in June. Great preparations are making for his reception. The precedents for this visit are found in the advent of Prince William Hen ry-afterwards King William the Troublesome seventy-6ve years ago, in company with Captain afterwards Lord Nelson and of the Duke of
 Kent, father of Queen Victoria.
 The ostensible object of the visit of England's future ruler is to oficiate in placing the last stone of the Victoria Bridge over the St. Law renee at Montreal. He will probably visit some portions of this country, and be ionized exten- sively.

 "As Barksdale was urging all the opposition elements to unite on McCernand, lady in one of the front seats in the gallery was observed to become very much excited. She coughed, made signs, and by other means attempted to attract the attention of member below. Not succeed ing, she leaned far over the balcony, and in an audible whisper exclaimed, David! David ]! change your vote, you boobYw, The honorable member looked up, recognized his better half, colored hesitated, stammcred, and then instant ly changed his-seat. A small delicate fist was shaken at him from the gallery, amid the SUD- pressed mrth of the spectators"

tended to attack the President about his position
on the slavery question; though he dssented from
the opinion that the question of slavery in the Ter
ritories finally settled by the decision of the
Supreme Court-the judiciary had done all it
could to protect slavery, but more Legislation was
necessary. Pugh of Ohio, and Doottle, opposed
further legislation.
In the House on the Sd, Mr. English ofIndiana,
made speech in defence of the Kansas compro-

largest merchants in that city, that letters
stantly being received fom southern merchants re-
questng that their accounts be closed; some declined
giving hei notes for goods, fearing the worst from
the excited state of mind in which the South gen.
orally participates. And we notice that large
number of operatives in northern factories have
been discharged in consequence of the withdrawal
of southern orders.
The imports of dry goods at the port of New
York for the year 1859 have reached sll3, 900 900
a larger amount than before; and it is pre-
dicted that unless the southern Spring trade proves
larger than usual, another "smash up" may be
looked for. Let the smash up come, and let the

THE p o BILL-We hope our friends Of the
Fayetteville Observer will read the remarks of Mr.
Branch in the House of Representatives on the
24th, showing on whom the responsibility rests for
the defeat of the Post Office Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Branchs statement fully sustains the position
we took in late discussion with the Observer viz:
that the Bill defeated by the passage OF Grow s
resolution, which was voted for by Gilmer and
Vance of this State Grow himself says that the
bill finally passed by the House was new one
and Mr. Branch shows that if the House had acted
on the Senate's amendments to the original bill,
either rejecting or approving them, instead of pass
ing Grows factious resolution all the difficulty
would have been avoided, the bill passed, and the
Post Office Department left unembarrassed.
We may, hereafter, publish Mr. Branch's state
ment, but not with much hope of convincing our
respected contemporary. Convince man against
his will" &c.
For the present we make an extract from Mr.
Branch's remarks:
81 think can show that the real object of the gentle
man from Pennsylvania Mr. Grow and of his friends
this floor, defeat the Post Office Appropriation
Bill in order that the President of the United States
might be obliged call Congress together and that
they might thereby, early day, get control of the
organization of the House. do not intend to
divulge anything that occurred in the committee of
conference; but assert here that the gentleman from
PENNSYLVANIA knew then and knows now, that if the
House had taken up the bill and disagreed to that
amendment raising the rate of postage] the Senate
would have receded from unanimously. assert that,
with knowledge of that act with the knowledge that
if would only pursue that the bill would be-
law; the gentlemen from Pennsylvania persisted
in refusing adopt that course and insisted compel
ling the Senate to swallow insult reject the bill
it here in the presence of the gentleman, and
challenge contradiction, that the gentleman knew that
all the Senate asked that the House would take
the bill and disagree the Senates amendment and
then the Senate ready to recede from that amend
ment"
