Our contemporary, the Times, has this
pleasant notice of legislation in a neighbor-
ing State:
Among other acts passed at the last SEES
sion of the Mississippi Legislature, was one
to incorporate the Harrison Harbor Com
pany, investing it with very valuable fran
chises. 1t is the object of this company to
convert Mississippi City into a great har-
Dor, accessible to vessels drawing twenty
feet of water. This is to be done by dredg-
ing channel through to the deep water
basin lying north of Ship island work
that could be accomplished at small eX-
pense. The company also contemplate the
reclamation of vast quantity of now sub
merged land very valuable for residences
and building purposes, the erection of
docks warehouses, wharves, yards and all
other improvements incident to the estab-
lishment of a great seaport. This scheme,
now to be practically carried out for the
first time has been a favOrite with en-
gineers for half century past but whether
it is destined to succeed or not, only the
test of time and experience can determine.

The circumstances connected with the
execution OF the two Spaniards, as men
toned in our edition of yesterday evening,
requires a modification. Our informant
was evidently laboring under a mistake
when he told us that the merchant from
whom the rope had been purchased had
witnessed the execution, to the mental
effects of which upon his mind his sudden
decease was attributab BILE. We are assured
that the deceased gentleman was not
present at the execution; in fact, that he
was not in the habit of witnessing such
revolving spectacles, and that his death was
simply caused by apOplexy.
