ENcoURAGING.-B Business looked very
much livelier in the streets yesterday. Grain
and pork came in smartly, and the market
seemed to be improving. Farmers feeling
much better than they were few days since,
and we trust they will continue TO have occa
sion to feel the same way for long time to
come VS. hope in the course Of week to see
wheat 50 cents per bushel, pork cents per
pound. and all other kinds of produce in pro-
portion. Such condition would crowd our
streets with teams from morning till night, and
make trade smile again.

of whom we're passengers aud 81 crew, while %
the passengers and 80 of the crew were saved
TIE vessel, in smooth sea, ran on sunken rock
which ripped of portion of her bottom. The
captain fpdIDg that it was impossible to keep tue
vessel afoat, headed for the shore, which he
reached, but not until furiousgale came up. Then,
in ehecing landing, the loss Of life occurred. The
proposition to elect a United States Senator to
succeed Mr. Gwin, and which Is regarded as
moyeu ett in behalf of Gen. Denver, excited much
indignation among the friends OF Mr.. Gwin'
Mr.. OWNS DsunOn speech in the Senate, in

But little had been done in the Legislature since
the election of United States Senator. A rcsolu'
ton nstrucsng the Representatives of the State in
Congress to oppose division of the State had
been introduced in the Assembly, and it was
thought would BE- adopted. Gov. DOwney has re-
ferred the matter of the Iudian hostilties in Men

Lord John Russell has always been famous ioN
being ready to attempt any impossible thing that
could be suhsested, We observe b. the last arri-
val that he has proposed in his place 10 Parliament
to concert measures with the United States Gov.
ernment to "put an end to tbs atrocities cOmut-
ted BY American seamen We are afraid that tue
performance of this duty Will be fUuud tQo difficult
to be accomplished by the simple process Of Goa
vention, or BY the mere administration Of Law,
however severe the form it may take We took
occasion the other day to expose the true sources Of
whatever excuses have of late years been commit
ted on board American vessels and we showed that
they must be referred to causes not removable BY
any such processes as are indicated BY Lord JOan
Russell. II is quite impossible to convert incapable
and brutal ships officers into men ct for tho sta
tons they occupy, by Parliamentary or diplomatic
proceedings. 1t is just as easy to undertake to
make men intelligent virtuOus, and eSicieut By
legislative DEGREES that they shall be 90, The pw-
Onnsi of our ships must be reformed before there
will be any great reform in conduct on shipboardj
and tie principal agency 10 dOiog ths is the laws Of
