re the duties proposed that the result can be little short of absolute prohibition. Cutlery is to be taxed upwards of 50 per cent. in the lowest instance, in the highest nearly 250. In addition to this, the bill enacts so many complicated arrangements, and throws such interminable obstructions in the way of business, that commerce will be next to impossible under conditions so difficult.--We need not enter into the particulars of the Act, which is said to be scarcely intelligible even to Americans themselves, out we can convey a very good idea of its character and purpose by observing, that if it should be passed it will almost prohibit all imports into the United States from England, France, and Germany. That, and no less, is the effect anticipated from the measure in New York itself. Of our own position under such circumstances, we shall presently speak; but, as the consequences of the measure, would be felt most deeply by the Americans themselves, we may give them the precedenc

gentleman from Harrison having been voted down, the only subject before the Committee was the report of the majority of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Anbler of Louisa, said that Mr. Harvin had indicated a desire to offer an amendment. He was not present, and no one here was authorized to act for him. The Chairman, who had recognized Mr. Anbler, said that Mr. Nelson, of Clarke, was entitled to the floor. Mr. Anbler took an appeal from this decision, and the Chair was sustained by the Committee. Mr. Nelson then yielded the floor to Mr. Preston, of Montgomery, who proceeded to address the Committee.

Mr. Nelson then yielded the floor to Mr. Preston, of Montgomery, who proceeded to address the Committee. After alluding to the great responsibility resting upon him as a member of the Convention, he went on to consider the practical issue now before the country. For years there had been a regular course of sectional hostility, which excited the apprehensions of all of us. The election of last November resulted in a manner that shook the Commonwealth t

Ordered for consideration to-morrow. There will be some discussion on the Constitution of the Confederate States, but it will be ratified by a large majority.

roffered crown, and it was only after the Congress had voted for him by a vote of 77 to 15, that he accepted it. In the following month the Congress voted unanimously for making the crown hereditary in the family of Yturbide, and soon after he was solemnly crowned. But the fickle and faithless Mexican people did not stand by the monarch they had chosen. The military leaders that have been the curse of the country, began to conspire against the Government. A civil war arose, in which Santa Anna soon became a prominent leader against the Emperor. A republic was proclaimed, and, on the 20th of March, 1823, after a turbulent reign of less than a year, Yturbide abdicated. Permission was granted to him to leave the country, and a pension of $25,000 a year was allowed him. He went with his family to Italy, but returned, in 1824, to Mexico, where, in the meantime, he had been proscribed as a traitor, though he did not know the fact.-- Gen. Garza, the Governor of Tamaulipas, pretending

Ordnance Department.--The President laid before the Senate a communication from the Executive, as follows: Executive Department,March 26, 1861 Gentleman of the Senate: I nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of your honorable body hereby appoint, Captain Charles Dimmock, Colonel of Ordnance; Briscoe G.

Coohlan, Clerk, with the rank of Captain — in pursuance of an act of the General Assembly, entitled "an act to incorporate an Ordnance Department, " passed January 25th, 1861. The act provides for a large number of officers, but I believe these will be found sufficient to secure the objects designed to be effected by the passage of the law. In nominating Captain Dimmock, I take the occasion to say, it is understood between us that he is to retain th

In 1853, that same Court decided that the minerals imbedded in such lands belonged to the State, by virtue of a Spanish Mexican law and the principle of Eminent Domain. That decision is now completely reverse
