gation of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, gave rise to a short conversation between the mover and Mr. Harrison, from which it appeared, that the contract made by the Department of War, though agreeable to
the intention of the law, did not extend to the removal of many serious obstructions, and therefore was not satisfactory to thos engaged in the navigation. The resolution offered on the preceding Thursday, by Mi. Hendricks, relative to obtaining a grant of land, to aid Indiana in opening a canal between the Wabash and Maumee rivers, was agreed to." Ii the House of Representatives, Mr. Wright introduced a resolution, which was agreed to, on the subject of further relief to the purchaser of public lands. A resolution offered bv Mr. Mitchell, was agrer.d to, referring it to the committee on Indian Affairs to consider the subject of removing the tribes of Indians in the U. S.
to the west of the Mississippi, and gmng j to them the form and privileges of a terri-1 tori.il government. ( motion, a select j committee was appointed to consider so i much of the message of the President, as ;

In the L ndon Police Reports we find it mentioned, that on the 1 2th September, a child just turned of five years of age was put to the bar, charged with circulating counterfeit coin!

purchased trifles and received good money j
in change. The reporter atter giving me evidence in detail, gravely adds, What both the prisoners (the young woman and the child) were fully committed for trial' "The parents of the child arc honest hardworking people, and tficir feelings on hearing that their child had been seduced into the commiion of such a crime can

Tliis intelligence was jut received, and not doubted by the mott respectable merchants at St. Thomas. If true, this event mav prove very important in a political point of view, as it is cci lainh a matter of deep intcrt t to the former inhabitants of St. Doming", both in Kurope and America.
