The JtrpicuRY Committee or the
Senate have a vast amount of busi-
ness before them. On Wednesday
night last, they resolved to report
several important provisions, amend-
ing the district court act. Among
others, it is allowed to either party
to examine his adversary upon the
stand, as any other witness, and
with like effect.
Also, dispensing with the use of
seals and scrawls, in tho execution,
of all written acts of private individ-
uals.
Also, an act in relation to waters
and water privileges, which is inten-
ded to facilitate the building of mills
and machinery.
They also reported a bill allowing
any three hundred inhabitants of a
town, or fifteen hundred inhabitants
of a city, to incooperate themselves
with the power of taxation.
And they reported against the Civ-
il Code and Code of practice prepar-
ed by Messers. Hartly, Harris and
some
lie' heard of a boy about six
years old, answering^he description
of his son; he, in company with
three etiior mon, started in pursuit
of him, through the aid of thc friend-
ly Indians he heard of the where-
about* of his son. He succeeded in
recovering him after considerable
d >lay. He paid twelve horses for
liim. The boy had been fifteen
months with the Indians, and had
entirely forgotten his native (Ger-
many) language.

Relative to China he says, that

The Government of the United
States is more deeply interested than
any other nation in preserving the
freedom and security of all commu-
nication across the Isthmus. He re-
commends the passage of an act au-
thorizing the President, in case of
necessity to employ the land and na-
val forccs to carry into effect this
guarantee to neutrality, and also a
similar legislation for the security of
any other route across the Isthmus
in which we of the United States
may acquire an interest by treaty.

after writing these letters he placed
