McGowas baa our thank* for a bound volume of tlio Legislative Time*, which he has very kindly handed to us. It contains full reports of the debates and pro< ccedinga of the lant oession of the Legislature, and is a handsome and valuable work. We have extracts marked for early insertion in tbo Prcit. Tub Court of Common Pleas for tbi* District is uow in' session, Jurlgo Withers 1 presiding, and will probaby continue to the * end of the week. Considerable busineM, of ono sort and another, is before it, hut mostly of an uninteresting character. We may mention a few particulars next week. We notice but little of interest in the proceedings of Congress for the past .week. Tbo Senate has pasted a bill providing for -mo construction of ten steam sloops-of-war. This measure, wo presume, was pa&sed in view of the threatening aspect of our foreign affairs, and at the suggestion of the Secretary of War, who recently asked, through tho President, for an appropriation of three millions for a similar purpose. The steamer Baltic arrived nt Halifax on tho 4th instant. Sho reports cotton, in Liverpool, steady and unchanged, with sale* of 26,000 bale*. > The peace conferences opened on the 23d ultimo.^ The envoys have all arrived. / Confidence in peace ia increasing. The American excitement is subsiding. A large force of English troops is to be concentrated in Canada. A new loan of five millions is about being negotiated by the British Government. The Convention meeting wbioh was to be held on Monday, was postponed in con , sequence of a want of' time to bold it, the Court being in Bewion.
