The Royal mail steamer Acadia , Cap . aiu Harrison , arrived here this morning , with the usual mails from Canada and the United States , and about ninety _passsogers . She left Boston on the 1 st of January .

      OREGON AND TEXAS . Sekatb , Dec . lb " . —Mr . Allen , chairman on foreign KRation * _. s ? ive notice of a joint resolution giving tuc twelve mw . ths' notice to Great Britain , as required by the stipulation of the conventions of 1 S 10 anu 1 * 527 , forthe dissolving the joint occupancy of the Oregonterxifairv . ., ,. - Tne Vice-l _' re _^ identannonnced the unfinished business to be the resolutions of inquiry proposed by - jr . Cas _* , as tothe condition of the navy , tho national _fyrtitk-atious , the army , the militia , & c . ... Mr . Niies said he would go _!"_ . _H _£ S _^ After all that had been done by the Execnmeftr _^^ l _^ f £ _^^ Sntive department .

      The n _Atialions had come to a point-to a staiulthev Sto off-thcy were stopped . W e can t _S _^ e _SLtstan d _npfor our rights . In regard Z _^ _tniw _^ the President has recommended all t _ovet _^ nici _^ ures for the support of our claims , eor _,-* S with ireaty obligations . Mr . Jules then adverted to tha fact of the English government having extended its judicial jurisdiction over itsciteeusin Oregon . Wc were called upon to do the same m bchalt of our citizens . Tiie provisions of joint occupation -were not adapted to a settled aud civilised _countrc , nar intended to be . It was n « _Hxssary to have but _oneEovernmeutoverthcsaniepeople . With this view , the twelvemonths

      the President had recommended ' notice , with a view to an exclusive jurisdiction over our portion of the territory . This was a peace _mavcmeni—it was uecc sarytbr peace—he advocated these resolutions for the sake of peace . Recurring to the expediency of these resolutions , he said that as war might follow , as it was within the range of probibilities , the prouositions here submitted were absalutclv required of " the Senate . But he believed there would he peace—that the 49 th parallel would -vet be agreed upon as the dividing line ; that , if _negotiations were renewed , Great Britain would reconsider her _refus- _'i , reverse it , aud fall hack upon the

      40 th th _gi-ee . She would do so waen ehe found that she eouid bully us out of no more . Mr . Niles disclaimed th-: apprehension that war , if it did come , would result from the precipitancy of the _proceedings of this bodv aud its co-operate branch of the national _Legislature . Nothing of the sort . In _renewing the _relathe prowess of England and the IJnitcd States , tlie learned senator thought if the English were a Iwld , brave , and courageous nation , it was fair to conclude that we might be found so iu an equal degree , _descended as we were from the same stock , & a- Mr . Niles , in conclusion , reiterated his itefenninatitn to vote for the resolutions .

      Mr . Crittenden next followed in the discussion . He saw in the resolutions themselves nothing _objeeUonabl . _" , and he should vote for them . The remarks ofthe hou . scuator , however , who had introduced these _vcsoiaiioas , gave to them peculiar sujaifieancy . Mr . Crittenden then reviewed tke remarks « f General Cass of yesterday , that we must give the twelvemonths' notice , and that if Great Britain then persists in her claim , war is inevitable ; and said that if this were so , we had tetter , at once , eni-Tiliy ourselves to put on the whole harness of war . Jle read from the reported speech of General Cass the passage upon this point , and asked of the distinguished senator , if this was to be understood as his solemn opini _' _.-u ? General Cass , after some general explanation , said , that ia his owu private _opinion war was almost inevitable .

      Mr . Crittenden desired a more explicit understanding ot this branch of the senator ' s remarks , delivered in the _Senat-e . General Cast ivpli-d , that if we __ gave _Inelvesaentus ? notice , and that it " , at the expiration of that psrioj , Great Gritaiu persisted in her claim to the -whole ofthe territory , war was inevitable . Mr . Crittenden said , tlrat this was a substantial xefeactatiou ofthe _senator ' s war-like opinions of yesi « _xUy . General Cass said that he did not retract a single ¦ word that he had said yesterday . Mr . Crittenden was totally at a loss to reconcile the remarks of yt _* : te ; dsy witli the explauafion ofto-< _hy . Genera' Cass further exulainetl .

      Mr . _Cntti-iiilen further _^ _coiuaiented upon the canting nek s of war , and said , that la * had -much preferred ths explanation of to-day to the remarks of yesterday . It built up the contingency of war u _, ou «» nray _c-oadkioiis aud _prc'vocattoiis _, that it almost « li-sip _ital it _entirely . Mr . Crittenden had hut one « hjcct iu his _remarks , and that was to soften the ¦ alarm _wlt _' eli tire senator ' s remarks of yesterday i : iight have excited . He should vote for the resolutions , however , as he feared not that their adoption "caul J Listen the _contingency oi the war . Sir . ' Crittenden , a * _aSiirdiug lime for lvflectiou _, suggested two years' nutice instead of one-General Cas further denned his position , as assumed m bis remarks of yeitcrdav .

      Mr- " cbster here arose , and all eyes and ears were tent forward io sm * and hear him . He began with iis usual coolness , _dclUKrativentis _, _thoughtfulnesii , and quiet _seif-coiifideaee , sa characteristic of the _maa . Al * _hough these _resolutions did not charge the ommittees _lvierrcd to with any extraordinary _inquires , yet he regretted their introduction now J aud the remarks of the _senator from Micuigan , as calculated to produce unnecessary alarm . Every unnecessary .- _'hu-fli almut the state of the public peace was a _£ reat evil and _wss severely felt _uj-oa the business of t he couutry . There wcre two ways in which a

      government might _proceed—we might excite a great alarm _wiihoutauy pre-. ara . iou , and wc _wujht proceed in thai quiet aud efficient way of iuquiry upon the national defence * which would attain the ead desired , ¦ _witboutdisturbiogthcpuhiictKiuquillity . Mr . Webster was of opinion that the President did not . anticipaie war , —um the tone of his message did not exiiibit that he appie lended any serous danger to the peace of the country , & c Mr . Webster rccamd t _* i the Josses _wiiich would _afll-ct our _commerce and our _sea-baard from , a war -witli _England , and was far ironi _beliyviu" that any Mich dreadi ' ul _exigeucy was sesicusly to be apprehended .

      Mr- Sevhr wa _, _astonished that nothing could be brought forward upo :. this floor iii _regard to Oregon bat tuat it intt invariably the opposition of the other _Sriie . He repudiated all the chop-logic about siience , and doing tlie thing qui . tly , & e . But if wo made a uiovinitsi . of mere _iaquitr about Oregon , -we wire told to keep still , or there would be war ; that the steamers « f Great Britain would ravage o _* _ir coast , an i their crews steal our sucking pig *; while the _senator from M : u < _sschu * etts talked uf danger to _cummescj , _sn I all about a strip of barren coantry ou the cast of the I _' acific . This was ail _Vxrry well- It was , perhaps , a small business to go to war shout a fow _baxits of tea , or in defence of tne right * of a tew scores of ragamuffins of sailors :

      hut Mr . _Jfevkr was not dicpnscd to act so stealthily in this m liter , or cower away to the bullying of ¦ Great _Bsitiiis . Her Imllyin ; : was the whole secret « f her iK )« _cr— It was hy bullying that she had got the nations of Europe under her thumb . _Jiigt like some of mr Coun-hous ? bullies in the West—the « oatrive < i io lick Mime poor fellow . , ud then every fellow in tlie _ciuuty considered tiicm bullies , and not to b- * _ticiu'd with contempt .

      peace or war he would go for those _solutions . He . _rould go for the repair of our defences , assuming that there was to be peace for manv years to come The senator from Connecticut had said that tue _oest modv * of preserving peace was to prepare for war , ana the senator from Ohio had endorsed the expression , but had also said that the he * t preparation , after all , was to prepare the hearts of the people- for the war which was to follow He _P' _^ ed < _U ° examine some discrepancies m the remarks ot Mr . 411 en and then argued from the examples m _tae Senate inldlou m north-eastern boundary , and in _lSc mi the question of the French indemnities , that d _£ was no danger of war in this instence flj concluded by saying , that independently _«> any opinion oirthc subject , and whether there , would De _peaceor war , he should vote for the resolutions . Mr . Ureese advocated the resolutions , and _msisteu that Oregon , so far from being the barren desert it had been represented , was a delightful and proline

      region . . . . . „ ,. Mr . Woodbridge , in view of the propriety in « nj event of fitting up our defences , especially along our northern frontiers , said he would vote for the resolutions . The result was-Ayes , 42 ; noes , none . Mr . Allen this morning introduced , on leave , tne following joint resolution , viz .: — " Resolved by the Senate and House of _UepresentativesoftheUuited States of Amonca , m

      Congress assembled—That the President of the _Liuted States be , and he is hereby advised to give , forthwith , notice to the Government of Great Britain , that the Government of the United States will , in virtue of the second article of the convention of the Cth of August , A . D . 1627 , between the United States and Great Uritain , relative to the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory , and after the explrationof twelve months from the day on whieh such notice shall have been received by the Government of Great Britainannul and abrogate tliat convention . "

      , This was read the first time , and a second reading was ui _sred bv Mr . Allen , but objected to . Dec . 22 . Mr . Levy , of Florida , offered a resolution , which was read , as follows : — Hesolved , Thatit is the opinion ofthe Senate that neirotiations be opened with the government of Spain for the cession to the United States of the island of Cuba , the inhabitants of the same assenting thereto . __ Dec . 27 .

      Mr . Levy , on leave , withdrew his resolution for instructing the President upon the subject of opening negotiations for the purchase of the kingdom of Spain , ofthe island of Cuba . Mr . Atchison ' s resolutions for instructing the several committees in the premises respectively , upon the expediency of establishing a local government over Oregon , and of a line of block-houses , and ofa corps of mountaineer riflemen , for the protection aud defence of emigrants ; and ofa post route and post offices ; and of Indian _ageucves , principal and sub ., and upon the expediency of granting lands to _MJttlers , < fcc . Mr . Calhoun said that as these resolutions embraced a series of questions of the greatest character , ke should be pleased if the Senate would permit the postponement of their consideration until some day after the holidays , and that , meantime , the resolutions be printed .

      Mr . Atchison said he had no sort of objection to their postponement ; but as they were mere resolutions of inquiry , he thought there could be no impropriety in referring them to the committees . They went no further than the President had gone in his

      message . Mr . Calhoun admitted that these resolutions , and the resolution of Mr . Allen , for giving the twelve months' notice , be laid aside , and taken up on some given day after tke holidays . At any time , thereafter , atthe pleasure of the Senate , would be suitable to him . Mr . Atchison said that Mr . Allen ' s resolution had been referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations ; and that these resolutions would refer themselves . Mr . Calhoun suggested that meantime the

      resolutions ba laid over , and that , on some future day , the whole subject matter of all the resolutions of Mr . Atchison , and of the resolution of Air . Allen , be taken up together . Mr . Allen hoped the resolution would be pemitted to pa-s to the committees . When they should render in their reports , a day for their consideration could be appointed . Mr . Calhoun submitted to the arrangement , with the understanding that the whole of these Oregon inquiries should be taken up together , when formally taken up for discussion . So the instructions of Mr . Atchison to half a dozen of the committees , were referred .

      The Senate , after a short executive session , adjourned . HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES , Dec . 16 . The joint resolutions for the admission of the Slate of Texas with the Union was discussed and passed by a vote of Ml to 56 . Mr . Douglass , of Illinois , from the Committee on Territories , introduced a bill for the extension ofthe United States govemment ' over Oregon , till the joint occupancy is terminated , which it authorises the President to make . It provides that it be considered as a part of Wisconsin Territory up to 54 . 40 ., establishing military posts , mail routes , & c ., and appropriates 200 , 000 dols . for tliesc objects . Referred to committee of the whole , and made the special order for the second Tuesday in January . Mr . Winthrop , of Afassachusetts , introduced the following resolutions , which under the rule go over for debate : —

      Resolved , That the differences between the United States and Great Britain , on the subject of the Oregon territory , are still a fit subject tor negotiation and compromise , and that satisfactory evidence has not yet been afforded that no compromise which the United States ought to accept can be effected . Resolved , That it would be a dishonour to the age in which we live , and in the highest degree discreditable to both the nations concerned , if they should suffer themselves to be drawn into a war , upon a question of no immediate or practical interest to either of them . _Resolved , That if no other mode for the amicable _adjustment of this question remains , it is due to the principles of civilization and Christianity that a resort to arbitration should be had ; and that this Government cannot relieve itself from all responsibility which may follow the failure to settle the controversy , while this resort is still untried .

      Resolved , That arbitration does not necessarily involve a reference to crowned heads ; and that if a jealousy of such a reference is entertained in anv quarter , a _commission of able and dispassionate citizens , either from the two countries concerned , or from the world at large , offers itself as an obvious and unobjectionable alternative . The _resolutions lie over for debate . _m Air . Douglass offered the following counter resolutions : — Re-olved , Tliat the title to any part of the Oregon territory south of 5 i degrees 40 minutes of north latitude , is not open to compromise , so as to surrender any part ofthe said territory . _Res-dved , That the question of title to the territory should not be left open to arbitration . Air . Douglass proposed to debate the resolutions ; when those of Air . Winthrop came up , they accordinclv fell over .

      There will , before the session terminte 3 , be a struggle in the house upon sonic of these propositions —so far as they may be supposed to interfere with the existing convention with Great Britain . Dec . 27 . _^ The bill for extending the law of the United States over Texas was taken up , aud read thrice and passed . Dec . 29 . A bill from the Senate , organising Texas into a coL _' ection district , was taken " up , read three times , and passed ; after which the house adjourned , Air-Douglas , of Illinois , having the floor on the naturalisation question . Air . Bowlin submitted sundry resolutions , viz : —

      1 . Resolved , That the Committee on Naval Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of employing a portion of the home squadron within our territory of Oregon , in exploring the coast , rivers , harbours , bays and strait- , and also for the protection of our extensive commerce on the North Pacific Ocean . 2 . Resolved , that the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire into the evpediency of establishing an exploring expedition by land , to examine the various passes in the Rocky Mountains , and tiic territories adjacent thereto , for the purpose of ascertaining the most practicable route for connecting navigable waters of the -Mississippi with those of the Oregon territory .

      3 . Resolved , That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire info the expediency of employing a portion of the troops of the United States as a pioneer corp _> toaid and protect emigrants Uy land ou their route to Oregon .

      * Mansion House. Torsdjir.—A Smashes Lea...

      * MANSION HOUSE . _TorsDjir . —A Smashes Learned in the Iaw !—A young fellow , named occasionally William Poston _, who has been some time oue of the leaders of the Westminster gang of bad money utterers , was brought up for final examination upen the charge of having exhibited two ' of his manoeuvres in the shop of Mr . Baker , 110 , Cheapside , tobacconist . The cool _self-posssssioii of the prisoner caused some surprise in tke justice-room ; for he not only questioned the right of the Lord Mayor to send him for trial , but he denied the application of the lawns quoted by Mr . Goodman to his particular case . Frederick Breach _, shopman to Mr . Baker , said : —On Tuesday last between two and three o ' clock in the afternoon , the _prisoner came into the shop , aud asking for three cheroots laid down a sovereign . I gave him half a sovereign in

      change . He then asked me to change it , as he thought it was light . I accordingly took from him what I then believed to be the coin I had just given him , and gave him another half sorereign . He then requested me to give him silver instead of the half sovereignl had just handed to him , but up _» n taking up the half sovereign I perceived that it was a counterfeit , and not the sound one which I had just given to him . I laid down the counterfeit piece , and going round I shut the door , aud demanded from the prisoner the good half sovereign which I had that moment given him , when he said , " Here it is ; here is the good half sovereign which you gave me ; " aud I took it from him . When I looked for the counterfeit he had last given me , it was gone from the counter , and could not be found . I then determined to examine the half sovereign which he had returned me in the first instance , and I

      discovered it also to be counterfeit , and it was the one whicli I now pro-luce . —The Lord Mayor : Well , I shall commit the prisoner for trial . Do you wish to say anything , prisoner?—The prisonor : Yes , my lord . I wish to know whether you can commit me without knowing that the Mint will prosecute!—The Lord Mayor : No doubt of it . I intend to commit you now , aud Mr . Goodman will make out your commitment . —The prisoner : I wish to know ¦ whether Mr . Goodman has got the authority of tbe solicitor to the Mint to send this case to the Central Criminal Court . You'll excuse me , my lord , but I don't think he has . The law requires that two offences must be committed by the same party , and one within fourteen days of the other . Now whereis the second piece of bad money to show against me ( laughter )!—The Lord Mayor : Tlie act of parliameut is construed by you too partially in your own case . We have a section that will meet your

      case . —The prisoner : I do not consider that you can legally commit me , without producing bad money passed by me within _fourtesn days . In fact I know it ( a laugh ) . —The Lord Mayor : You will find yourself mistaken . You have , with alt your legal acquirements upon tbe branch of trade you follow , stumbled upon a section under which you will not be prosecuted , and you have overlooked that under which you certainly shall be prosecuted . You supposed that we would go against you for a heavier punishment , and indict you for an offence , the proof of which would require additional evidence . We shall do nothing of the kind . As ws can't get any more for you , we shall be satisfied with ths one year's imprisonment . —The prisoner : I don't thiuk I shall get it ( laughter ) . Tlie Lord Mayor : I do ; and if the Mint should hesitate upon the _subject , I shall direct tho City Solicitor to prosecute . The prisoner was then committed for trial .

Bingham upon several charges of uttering forged checks purporting to be drawn by Mr , Henry Thomas Tiinson , a gentleman of fortune residing at Ealing , near Southampton , upon Messrs . Glyn and Co ., the bankers in the city . The facts previously established were , in brief , tbat the prisoner , on the _'JDtb ult ., went to the sign of the King ' s Head , at Clapton , aud obtained a bottle of brandy in the name of a married lady named Tate , presenting in payment a check upon Messrs . Glyn and Company , for £ 10 . Mr . Hubble , the landlord , having sereral times given cash for checks from the same quarter , so suspicion was entertained with respect to the one in question , but it wa 6 afterwards returned as a _forgery . The prisoner was again remanded for the production of further evidence .

It appeared that each person _« pon entering the room raised the lid of the coffin , and inspected the features of the corpse , and then put down a sum of money wherewith to

      procure porter , gin , iie . Tlie prisoner , who hud been there all the week , quarrelled with tho complainant on Sunday morning . The room was quite full of people at the timo , and a frightful scene ensued , the relatives of e » eh party joining in tbe afl ' niy .

      Dreadful Explosion Of Fire-Damp In Monmo...

      DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP IN MONMOUTHSHIRE . Newport , Monmouthshire , Jan . 14 . —This morning a fearful explosion of fire-damp occurred seven miles from this town , at the works of Mr . John Russell , by which a sacrifice of thirty-five lives haa taken place . So far as we have been able to discover , the disaster occurred through the injudicious use of Davy ' s lamp . ( . ANOTHER ACCOUNT . ] There happened this morning , about half-past seven o ' clock , a tremendous _explosion of fire-damp at the colliery of Messrs . John Russell and Co ., ol liisca , in this neighbourhood , accompanied with a

      frightful loss of life . It appears that a great number ofthe workmen have been keeping _holiday , and that only about 150 men wcre working in the pit at the time of the explosion . The accident occurred in a big vein ., where about thirty-five men were working , whicli is the number missing on their being mustered at the mouth of the pit . Fourteen bodies have been already brought up , the state ofthe pit being such as to prevent searching for the remainder . It wa 3 expected that about four o ' clock to-day there would be sufficient air in the workings to enable the search to be continued . There can , however , be little doubt that the remaining number are dead .

      Poaching Affrat.—On Tuesday Last, Januar...

      Poaching _Affrat . —On Tuesday last , January 13 , the magistrates of Worcestershire , sitting in petty sessions at Worcester , were occupied some time in iuvestigating a charge brought by William Mann , a gamekeeper of Lord Sandys , wno resides at _Omberslcy , in thftf _& county , against a labouring man named _WiiiiatwjlRay _, for cutting and wounding liim , with j _$ cnt to tlo him somo grievous bodily ' nltrm . The ca e , as laid before the bench on the part of the prosecution , was briefly as follows : —On Saturday , the Stli of November last , the gamekeeper , while patrolling a certain portion of his Lordship's proserves , called Gardener's-coppice , encountered the prisoner Day , in company with his companions , named Woodward and Curnock , busily engaged in

      laying snares for game . On the parties catching sight of the gamekeeper they approached him in a menacing attitude , and Woodward and Day set upon the keeper with heavy sticks or bludgeons while Gurnock kept the keeper ' s dog at bay . The keeper attempted to defend himself , but was overcome by numbers , and the poachers succeeded in knocking down Mann and rendering him insensible from the effects of two scalp wounds , the marks of which he showed to the Court . On recovering his senses the keeper found himself alone , aad saw nothing more of his assailants until last week , when Day was taken atthe house of his parents at White Lady Aston , about ten miles from _Ombcrsley . Woodward , tlie second ofthe poachers , was tried at the last

      Worcestershire Quarter Sessions ( last week ) on a charge of stealing a waistcoat at Worcester , and , being found guilty , was sentenced to three months' _imprisoiment , at the expiration of wliich time he will be taken before the magistrates on the charge of attacking Mann as above described . Curnock , it seems , Las left the country , never having been seen or heard of since the above transaction . Both the complainant and the defendant wcre supported by legal advisers ; Mr . Hido , of Worcester , appearing for the prosecution , and Mr . Brampton , of the same city , for the accused . On behalf of Day a bold defence was set up , Mr . Brampton being instructed to plead an alibi , io substantiate this , two witnesses were called , viz ., the mother of the accused , and a young woman owning the euphonious name of Martha Iluggins , with whom

      it would seem that Day is " keeping company . Mrs . Dav deposed that her son left home at 9 o clock on the Saturday morning with Martha Iluggins to go to Worcester , and returned at 11 o ' clock with her . Martha said that" Bill Day " went with her on the Saturday morning to Worcester . Both left White Lady Aston at 9 o'clock , and she positively swore that he never left her company until 9 o ' clock the same evening . The attack at _Ombersley , five or six miles from Worcester , was stated to have taken place at 4 o ' clock in the afternoon . After patiently hearing both sides , the magistrates decided on committing the prisoner to take his trial at the March assizes on the charge , when the jury would decide on the validity of the defence Bet up . The prisoner was accordingly committed for trial .

      _Anohies Serious Collision oh ths _JAwlahd Railway . —A very serious collision took place at tbe Chesterfield station on Tuesday morning . It appeared that as the down train , from Derby to Leeds , arrived at the station at Chesterfield _. _Jsho was moving at the most terrific speed , and , although her steam was shut off at a considerable distance from the station , the train , in consequence of the rate it was then going at , was unable to stop , and ran with fearful violence into a mineral train which was crossing at the moment from the down to the up line . The engine of tho passenger train was thrown off tho line , and it was almost a miracle that none of the passengers were either killed or wounded . We are happy to state , however , that the whole number escaped uninjured , and the only _inconvenienco they suflored was a delay of some two or three hours until the line could be cleared ; the engine iteelt was completely smashed . The engine of the mineral train

      was also seriously damaged , but not to the extent of the passenger engine , which was a remarkably powerful oHe and nearly new . Mr . Cooper , tho station-master , was instantly on the spot , and it was soon ascertained that all the passengers were safe , and indeed that not a single " individual was hurt ; the greatest confusion , however , prevailed , and for somo time the line was impassable hour engines , and a large number of labourers , wero _settoworkto clear the line of all impediments , so that the public should be as little inconvenienced as possible . Our correspondent was informed thatthe reason the driver could not stop the engine at tho station , was owing to the slippery state of the rails . Immediately on the accident becoming known at Derby , tho engine-driver and guard in charge ofthe train , wero sent for by the board to explain the _causo ofthe accident , and there eannot be a doubt but the most rigid investigation will be instituted as to tho cause of tho accident .

      Singular Operation.—Some Time Ago Two He...

      Singular Operation . —Some time ago two hedgers of the names of Stevenson and _Covan , in tho employment of Sir William Maxwell , Bart ., of Monteith , were dressing a hedge for Mr , Rebbert dimming , ot this placo . Cavan had rather more to do on his side of the hedge than Stevenson , and the latter wishing to assist the former reached as far as he could over the top of the hedge with his bill , but unfortunately at tho first cut after doing so completely looped off the middle finger of Cavan ' _s right hand . Dr . M'Corniick was immediately sent for , but being from homo , did not arrive til ] two hours afterwards . Mr . TkoimiB _M'Kerlie , preventive officer , keptannointing the parts of tho finger with Riga balsam , and upon

      tne doctor ' s arrival he used a _Jittle ot the same , and after some exercise of skill , got the two parts to fit exactly . He then wrapped them up in a piece of old linen , bandaged them , and left them so for four days . A tho expiration of that timo the doctor examined the parts and found that they had been united by the first intention , and that all was coin " on well , and expressed no doubt hut that Cavan would have his finger restored to ubc This anticipation ot the worthy doctor ' s we are glad to cotifirmlor now , at the end of the month , Cavan is at work again , and can use the finger as well as tho rest of its compeers , So complete is the cure , that there is not even a cicatrix . - _^ dv ertiser .
