JOINT RESOLUTION,
Passed in the Senate of the U. S.: concerning
Ike Oregon Territory.
11 Resolved, &c. Thai by the convention
concluded the twentieth day o( October,
eighteen hundred and eighteen
between the United States of America
and the King of the United Kininlom
1 of Great Britain and Ireland, lor the period
of ten years, and afterwards indefinitely
extended and continued in force
by another convention of the same parties
concluded the sixth day of August,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and twenty-seven, it was
agreed that an}' country that may be
ciaimed by either party on the north
west coast of America westward of the
Stony or Roclcy Mountains, now commonly
called the. Oregon territory,
should, together with its harbors, hays
and creeks, and the navigation of all
rivers within the same he " fr?'o nml
upon" to the vessels, citizcns and subject?
of the two powers, but without prejudice
to any claim which cither of the parties
might have to any part of said country;
and with this further provision, in tin;
second article of the said convention, of
the sixth of August eighteen hundred
and twenty-seven that either party might 1
abrogate and annul said convention, on
giving due notice of twelve months to
the other contracting party?that it has
now become desirable that the rcspective
claims of the Fnilcd Status and i
(ireat JJritain should bo definitely set-!
tied : and that said territory may no i
longer than need be remain subject to j
the evil confluences of the divided al- j
legiance ot its American and British j
population, and of the confusion and j
conflict of national jurisdiction??, dange- J
reins to the cherished peac. and t?ood un- j
derstanding of the two countries. And,
therefore, that stop be taken for the abrogation
of said convention of the Gth Au- ;
gust, IS27, in the mode proscribed in its
second article, and, that the attention of
the government? of both countries may
be tho more earnestly and immediately
directed to renewed ellorts for the arnicahi*;
settlement of all their dilVevences and
dispute in respect? to said territory.
And hi' it /tirl/ie>' Resolved, That the '
!? . r -1 r T . 1 r- . . ?
i-resiouru 01 me united states be, unci
he is hereby authorized,at his discretion,
to give to tlic British Government the
notice required by its said second article
for the abrogation of the said convention
ol the sixth of August eighteen hundred
and twenty-seven."
Jiiwimi Cor.onizatiox.?The present
extraordinary agitation among the Jews
with reference to a return to the land ol
their fathers, cannot but be regarded
with interest by the Christian community,
especially by those who believe in
their liberal restoration to the Holy
I /and.
" At a meeting of gentlemen feeling
deeply interested in the welfare of the
Jewish people, recently held in London,
(says the London Watchman.) it was
resolved that a society be formed under
the title of ' The British and Foreiun
Society (or promoting the colonization
ol'thc Holy Land.' The society is to be
restricted to tlie making r>il necessary
preparations to facilitate the realization
of the gradual colonization of Palestine,
and the present protection and promotion
of the civil and religious rights and liberties
of the Jewish people in every part of
the world. The committee to consist
alike of Jews and Christians, Englishmnn
an foreigners. The co-operation of
politicians and goo<! men of every country,
sect, and rani;, is invited, it b.:;ng a
tnndamental rule of the society that it
shall be entirely silent and neutral as
to every point ol religious controversy."
In reference to the present state of
Palestine, as being fully open for a return
of the Jews, a distinguished writer
says.
"A count) y, once densely inhabited,
lies solitary; her pastoral hills unfrequented
by the shepherd ; her rich fields
untitled, and shaggy with thistles and
prickly shrubs; her villages sunk into
Heaps ol ruins, and her cities without
inhabitants. During the identical years
in which Ireland quadrupled its population,
the population of Palestine had
sunk to a tenth, 'l'his is surely a very
extraordinary fact: and when all sCcm
to agree that there remains nothing but
emigration for the sorely afHicted race of
Israel in Poland, it seems scarce less
generally held that the only lanjl which
remains for them to occupy is just the
land of Palestine. Nor is it mere enthusiasts
of the Jewish or Christian faith
that unite in indicating this country as a
country eminently fitted for colonization
?wc find it recommended by men of
the most practical character."
Arrest of a Supposed Mail Ronnun.?William

the mails on the routes from Mobile to
Nashville to Memphis, was arrested in
this town on Saturday last. The vari
ous amounts purloined at various dates,
from December lu?t lo the present time,
amounted to some 10,000.
On his arrest three I.oys were found
on his person, which readily opened the
patent mail locics. Vaughn refused to
: make any disclosures. It is suspected
| that he has accomplices in Memphis, as
lie has frequently been seen engaged in
suspicious conversations with various individuals.
1 le is known to have passed
a $f>0 Treasury note at Montgomery
recently which it is hoped may be traced.
It is supposed that 20UU letters have
been extracted from the mail between
Nashville and Memphis.
Memphis paper, :l 1 i.isl

?The Alabana, Ga. of the loth
inst. says :?During a reecnt excursion
through the 111 i<Ul 1? an<! upper part
of the State, we were ijni'licd at the
prospect of an abundant Wheat crop.
(Je.orgia has never before planted ;-o
I large a crop, nor has appearances ever
1 indicated so large an average yield per
j acre. A majority of the corn crop, which
J is also largo, was up on the 1st. in-Jan*. J
! and 1<-jkod well; much cotton had also
I been nlanted.
In this part of the country, crops an: j
equally promising, and still more forward.
At present the prospect of the j
wheat crops seems to hang upon the j
changes of the weather, which may
occur within a few days.
Grain from the West.?The St. j
Louis New Era of the Slh, says:?j
" The steamer Herald arrived yesterday
from the Illinois river, with 7.000 bu-1
shels of wheat, distined for Cincinnati, j
Large quantities of grain are daily arri-1
ving from that stream, and in much
larger lots than wore ever known before:
the increase of many articles of produce
raised in Illinois, has been astonishing;
her wheat crops already amount to more
than one-fourth west of the A Mechanics;
and in a low years morn, she will doubt*
li'SS export as much or more than any
Slate in the Union.*'
Consumption- of Cotton in this
Umtisd States.?Since 1816, a period
of 29 yaars, the amount consumed has
i increased from 1 1,000,000 to 196,300,
! 000 pounds?more than sixteen fold.
During the same period the increase of
consumption m Great Britain has been
from SS,000,000 to 560,000,000 pounds
?less than seven fuld. Wo manufac
I lure more cotton than Franco, and quite
| as much as 00,000,000 Germans.
Hints tor Lovers.?If a youth is
wooingly disposed toward any damsel,
as he values his happiness, let hirn follow
my advice :?Call on the lady when
she least expects him, and take note of
the appearance of all that comes under
her control. Observe if the shoe fits
neatly, if the gloves arc clean and the
i hair well polished ; and I could forgive
I a man for breaking o(f an engagement
j if he discovered a greasy novel hid away
I under the cushion of a sola, or a hole,
! in the garniture of the prettiest loot in
| the worlJ. Slovenliness will ever be
! avoided by a well legulatad rnind as if
; it were a pestilence. A woman cannot
' always be what is called dressed, particularly
one in middling or humble life,
wnera ncr citny, ana ltj is consequently
to bo hoped, her pleasure lies, in supcr1
intending and assisting in all domestic
o o
: matters ; but she may be always neat?
1 well appointed; and as certainly as a
virtuous woman is a crown of glory lo
. her husband, so surely is a slovenly one
a crown of thorns.?Miss C. Ilall.
Bishopric of Jerusalem.? The
| death of the lie v. Dr. Alexander
i having left this see vacant, it has
! been Hilled up by the appointment
; ol' M. Bclson, a. converted Jew, by
| the King ol Prussia, who holds the
I riirlit #il* n 11 < > rn r? 1
"h"v w* ?vn/v,i j l
with tlic Government of England.
Pkki'auations foii War.?The
N. York Telegraph says,?" II has
been proposed that a public meeting
bo held in the Park some day
next week, by cit izens of all parti
-s, palling upon Congress to raise
a war loan ol 25 millions, to organize
the militia, and increase the
j army and navy.
CpuitAOE.?It is a popular error
to Suppose that courage means
courage in every thing. Put a
l.n?n .-v., i 1 ' ,.u:~ ~ i:
iiuiu uii uuarii <t auijs, ab ituvt;barred
gate, and if ho is not used
to hunting, lie will turn pale. Put
a fox hunter near one of the Swiss
chasms, over which a mountaineer
springs like a roc, and his knees
i will totter under him. People are
brave in Ihc danger to which they
accustom themselves; either in
imagination or practice.
N e wsiw i' i: it s,?T he newspapers
are (he chronicles ol' civilization,
tlie common reservoir into which
every stivam ponrs ils living waters,
at which every man can comc1
and drink; it is i.lic newspaper
which gives lo liberty its practical
lilt:?its constant observations?
its perpetual vigilance?unrelenting
activity. The newspaer is a
daily and a sleepless watchman,
that reports to you every danger
which menaces I he institutions of
our country, and its interests, at
home and abroad. The newspaper
informs the legi>lal tire of public
opinion, am! ihl'orms 'he people
of the acts of legislation; thus
keeping up that constant sympathy.
that good understanding bej

i which conduces to the nminteni

I lluit, the President of the 1*. SlaUs,
j warlike and pugnacious Polk,
I was prisoner of war Jo the " Britishers."'
Mr. Polk was then a
subaltern in the United Sinters
army, and was captured on the
ice near Detroit, by a party of t he
list regiment of foot, under the
i c mimand of Capt. Bullock. Gen.
Cass, the bellicose military orator,
iii the American Legislature, also
fell by the fortune of war into the
hands of the English forces during
the siinic year
Louisville, (Ivy.) lias a population
estimated at about forty thousand.
The Journal, o{ that city,
| says there were more houses built
| there last year than durinir anv
previous year ; and from the very
extensive preparations now going
on it is believed that the buildings
to be erected this year will outnumber
those of the past season.
Prosperity and Enterprise.?
The railroad business of Boston is
increasing with wonderful rapidity.
The number of trains that
now daily leave the ci13', amounts
to about ninety ! No wonder that
it should begin to rival even the
great commercial metropolis.
' Mamma !" exclaimed a beautiful
girl, who had suffered affectation
to obscure the liitle intellect
she possessessed?" what is

dish before you 1"
1 " A cucumber. mv bidnvml
Gcorgiana," replied the mamma,
with a bland smile of approbation
at her darling's eommemdablc curiosity.
" A cucumber ! gracious goodness,
my dear mamma, how very
extraordinary it is, I always imagined
until this moment, that
they grew in slices."
