It is desirable that its provisions should be carried into eect with as little excitement as possible. Although the actting Governor of 3Iichigau has declared his unwillingness to comply with the arrangement entered into at Washington, on the VA of July last; yet we have reason to believe, lhat the President of the II.

If so, there will be no need of troops, further than an escort to protect our commissioners, w hile running the line, from insult by mobs and lawless banditti. Hut if the orders of tbo President of the United .States should be entirely disregarded, nnd the authorities of Michigan continue their depredations, it will be necessary to call into actual service a sufficient force to caiifc, respect and obedience to the laws of Olpo, witliin our constitutional boundary, and tooiTord the civil authorities such protection as may be required.

Upon this the old man was greatly confounded, and eoon after went to consult legal advice, and to inquire whether there were such a law in existence.

The safe return of Captain Rack to Montreal,

from the Arctic Expedition, has already been stated. The Montreal Herald has the following notice of the movements ol this intrepid gentleman during his absence : During the first winter the expedition had to endure great privations and suffjrings,"owing to the scarcity of fooH, and the severity of the weather. On the 25th of April, being exactly one year after ho had left Luchine, and during a very heavy snowstorm, the despatch communicating Captain Ross1

safe return was delivered to Captain Rick. The primary object for which the journey was undertaken being thus happily filled by other agents, captain Back inadu preparations for complying with the secondary part of his instructions the examination of the coast between Point Turnagainand Ross's

Pillars. Several boats were with the utmost activity built during the winter, hut in the spring, finding that they had an insufficient supply of provisions, they could nol lake one with them. It was not

until the month of July, 183 1, that the expedition got to open water on tiia Thclic-cc-cho-dezethy or Great -Fish Hiccr. Capt. Rack, we believe, succeeded in determining that this river runs to the northward, and if we understand the purport of the scanty information which has reached us. it lias its source on a height of laud, about 150 to 200 miles from Fort Reliance, the winter establishment of the. expedition at tho eastern extremity of the Great Slave Lake Captain Rack is the first European who has visited Great Fish River, and examined its course to tho Polar seas.

It falls into the Polar Sea, at a point, as far as we can learn, that coincides very near to tho place assigned to it by Captain Back and ihe Arctic committee in London, in their pros

Singular Coincidence. Shortly after tho Swan 10 o'clock steamboat left tho wharf at New York, on Thursday, for Philadelphia, a passenger called at the Captain's cflico, and stated that he lnd lost, ho believed in one of the wtaer closets a roll of money with a piece of newspaper for a wrapper, containing about 600 dollars; lie desired that the proprietor should ling the bell, ottering a reward of 100 dollars, if tho money was returned to tho Captain's cflicc. Nothing, however, was heard about it until about an hour afterwards, when a gentleman handed into the ofiico a roll ol money, of which ho said he had just picked up in a ter closet, without examining it. The gentleman whom it was supposed to belong to, was called to Tecf ivo his money, who in great glee came running to the office and received the roll; he immediately unrolled it, and with a dejected counten

The proprietor was asain desired to ring iho

Every man's hand was immediately on his pockets, and a gentleman called in about one minute arid described his money, and after returning suitable thanks to the findci, received his treasure.

"X. TOWSON." Gen. Towson proceeds to remark: The Commodore says, I informed you in my letter of the 2VA, that I should with that close the correspondence.' The reader is requested to examine that letter and see whether it contains such information. Perhaps like the valiant commodore's resolution to challenge tho lamented Perry, it may have evaporated,' it certainly is not in th-j letter now. The truth is, the construction he put ou my letter of the lith, admitted of but one course for a man of honor, who does not profess religious scruples in such matters; and that is the one lie recommends to me. He knew this, but preferred the stale device often resorted toby men of weak nerves, to conceal their infirmity. My immediate reply convinced him 1 intended the correspondence should take a different course; he wished to be beforehand with me but not having taken the preparatory step, by notifying me, he is reduced to the necessity of asserting that he had done so; maugre the fart. The Commodore evidently wishes to exchange propositions. The person entitled to receive the sealed note f a friend, might have advantages in the arrangement s that would follow. I assure him it is not my intention to claim or receive any, on that account, believing it would be dishonorable to do so." Then follow other comments, interspersed with ofacial documents. At the close is the follow in? edltorial paragraph: 'Wearc requested by Gen. Towson to state that his lodgings are at the National Hotel, Broadway and that he will remain in town until the U.

A Heroine. The Baltimore Republican relates an instance of female devotion and heroism that would have reflected honor on the sternest Roman matron. While the infuriated populace was hi its highest state ofexcitement it visited the house of Dr. Hintze, in Gay-street, for tho purpose of razing il to the ground. The doctor had rendered himself obnoxious to the rioters by his active efforts to protect the property of his fellow-citizens, and was compelled to fly. But when the crowd appeared, his wife, who was alone in the house, addressed them, and asked if under such circumstances they would attack it. They told her to leave the house for they were determined lo destroy it. She replied, she would not leave it, and if they were resolved to destroy it, she izould stay and perish in the ruins! Struck by her courage and devotion, tho crowd retired and-lhe house was uninjured. Had the same spirit animated a few of the citizens, especially the Mayor and the police, Bdtiinoro would hive been- saved from those horrible scenes which will parulyz3 her

our knowledge of the line of coast, we are unable to say; but from what has been stated abov ,it is obvious that a new route has been opened to the Polar Sea, and that the large blank which formerly

struck the eye, on surveying the map, will now, in a great measure, be filled up. Captain Back, will, we believe, have much interesting information to communicate, respecting his observations on the Aurora, the changes on the needle as he drew northword, &,c.

May, and arrived at Lachine,as already mentioned,

on the 5th mst. Thus has terminated an expedition, undertaken

from the most generous and lofiy motives of which our nature is susceptible, pursued with the utmostardor and zeal, and conducted in safety, through dangers and difficulties of no ordinary kiud, with the most consumale wisdom. .Captain Back arrived at New York on Saturday last, and sailed for Liverpool on Monday in tho ship North America.

Shoemakino at Lynn. This town has been famous in New England for this trade, from a period anterior to the American revolution. The "ladies' shoes, particularly, with old fashioned high heels, which our grandmas used to sport at the soirees of Gen. Washington, could then no where else be obtained but from Lynn. The trade has been constantly advancing and extending from the small confined shops, then occupied by single families, carrying on thebusincs3 upon their own individual account, to the commencement of the present century, when large factories were built for the purpose.

Mr. Symons has just published a woik, entitled The Mechanics of Law miking;' the primary intention of which is to exemplify the gross defects in the verbal and formal parts of our laws. The obscurity of these laws arises frcm tho verhage in which Iheir meaning is couched, and causes a largo share of lhat ruinous litigation which is the bone of society. The following instance of legal verhosenes3 we lake to be tho happiest parody of conveyancing phraseology wo have met with: "If a man would, according lo law, give to another au orange, instead of saying, 1 give you that orange .which one would think would be what is called in legal phraseology an absolute conveyance of all right and title thereon, the phrase would run thus:

rial Ship We notice in a London na

ijer a uebcnpiion or a vessel now constructing in that city for an atrial voyage! to Paris. It is of an oblong shapo, pointed at both ends, and it is supposed that if floated in tho air, and the wind should be in the right direction, it would place itself m the direction of the current and move swiftly without oscillation. If tlie wind should he slightly contrary, tlie proprietors hone to direct it by tweffan like win or fins and a ruddar like the tail fin of a fish. Those are not attached to tho balloon itself, but to the patsenger car which swings beneath, and beinn- rnade ot net work is very light. If the wind should ba much opposed to the proposed course, the navigators must come down to the earth and wait for a more favorable opportunity. Tho apparatus for descending consists in an air balloon within the gas balloonwhen this is rlated by means of a simple condensing apparatus, its weight added to tho ballast in the ca"c will sink the balloon as near the ground as its navigators wish. The . balloon itaelf is of a cotton fabric, so varnished as to be air tight. It will only support twenty persons, ten sailors and ten passengers, and this at a great expense of gas; and this with its uncertainty, as it must wait for the wind vyill make it rather an inconvenient method of travelling. It is perhaps a little more capable, of guidance than the common balloon, and certainly a little Eafer- Boston Patriot.
