y Seventeen TaaeeTs off the aggregate burthen or
6641 tons sailed from England for Australia during tbe
week up to our last datet and 73 more were advertised

ty We notice another change In the office ol our

hi connection with that paper"ad Messrs. S. J. Burnett
aud J. H. Conrad hare taken his place having become

aware that Mr. Darnett waa formerly a partner with Mr.
Stuart In the publication f that journal and both he
and Mr.Conralarewelland favorably known as among
the most experienced and oesl printers of the country
Mr. Conrad was lately associated with Mr. Scarborough
in the publication of the 'Brownsville Flg and under
his management the great and deddoid improvement of
that journal waa unnorsaHy acknowledged. We consiu
er this association or three well desdpllned and expert

ty if is stated that all prospect of the settlement of
tbe fitbery question by treaty with Great Britain U now at

jy Mj. Bennett who was appointed Consul to Bahla
In BraxIL by President Pierce bs retained home for the
reason. It ta stated that the emolument of ihe office
were not sufficient lo meet tbe expenditures. He how-
ever. Is said to bare succeeded in procuring a treaty from
the Brazilian CovH. giving the United States full and cum
plcte right lo navigate the river Amazon Ibro Jgh Brazil
Pent had previously conferred this tame right through
that country so that tbe United States have new the right
of navigation through the i whole extent of that vast
equatorial stream. Already a company has been termed
la New York wUh acapi'.alot JI0U000 for the purpose
of building a first class rteaaier to be tent on a trading:
voyage op the Amazon. We may reasonably anticipate
tbstan Immense trads will speedily be opeoed between
the principal port t the United Slate and the countries
bordering on that rrrer which tataidto be navigable for
larg class of vetsels a distance of four thousand miles
hroufhthe richest county on the globe but hitherto al
most a waste' wilderness. Since wnUng the above
we see It stated that the treaty cannot have been made by
MtJ. BenneL inasmuch as a Consul possesses no such
power. The probability Is that ho mmpty brought infor-
mation that Vhe Brazilian GovL la prepared to concede
the right of navigating that nver.

curiosity a point of so much importance. However a;
Mr. Stuart apologize lor the defects of this uumber lu
consequence uf the absepce of Mr. Stuart we presume
the omission we allude' lo la thus explained. The Ex"

LT'TfaelndianolaBnlletla entertains the same appro-

prsctlrabillly at this lime of enforcing the Maine Liquor
Law or any law forbidding the tale of ardent spirits.
The editor docs not believe it possible to enforce such a
law. He tays u It will divide tbo people Into parties by
counties and neighborhoods and that all the law im
aginable. In tbe present ttalo of public opinion In Texas
cannot prevent the tale and use of liquor."
Before our Legislature should pas a law two positions
should be established beyond a reasonable doubL 1st
that the end lo be atlaloedjiy It I a good ooc. and one
that legitimately comet wllhin the authority uf the law

It seems to bo very generally understood In the touth
lhat Judge Creen C. Urunsou late Collector of New
York is a fl-m consistent and ruliahle friend to tho Slat c
dates. He has certainly repudiated the charge or being
an abolitionist in very emphatic term1 and hxschal enscd
the proof of it viry successfully. We have often bad
occasion lo remark that ihe people of iho t-outh m-o sub
jected as we believe to much imposition by such prort-
lions. As rjirdt Ihn ultimate end to be attained
namely thedeslrucllodof slaverj wo Lave never been
able to discover any diflVrence between Abolitionism
and Frresoilim. They both aim lo accomplish the same
object though by different means. Tbeformeropenlyand
frankly proposes to abolish slai ery by direct and legitimate
legislation ; the latter alms at the same ultimate end by
stratagem and by. gradual earoachment effected ui.der
various pretences and disguises. The former ha done us
comparatively very little harm and can do but littlt for
tbep'ain reason it wears no disguise but appo&rs just
what It It in all Its naked deformity.
Its downright and open avuwal of a determination to
overthrow slavery by first ovt throwing fhe present Con-
stitution (which they acknowledee protects Ii) will never
And advocates enough to make them formidable.
AbolItUmism It therefore comparatively harmless. On
ihe other hand all Ihe encroachments of which the
South ha cuinpla'ned whether by the exclusion of la
very Trum tbe newly acquired territory; or by cutting off
slave territory from Texas aod making It Trve; orby admit.
Hug Ca'iforni as a free State when she could nol lure
came in as a Slave State; orby acting upon the cow well

diates abolitionism but aub-crlbcs totrecsuiliam?
The fullowiug eztr-ct ur a letter wrnieu by Judge
BroiiSou to. tho AIm.1 llouial in lets avows the freiuii
doctrines to all ictet-U and rurpotes; aud It should be
rcturmbered lhal il was wrltteu when he was Judge uf tbe
Supreme Court of New turk; at-d It should also bv
lome in tniud lhat h Las lateiy declared bin referm
lo this letter that be elill adheres to the same semi
meets:
Tbe relation of master rnd slave docs not exist by tht
law of Nature; nor has th cla iu of the maer like

inanities. sU.ery cannot exist wLere mere U nu pnsmve
law tu uphold it. Il i nol uecesry that il should bo

U e ha.te only to say. In conclusion that these are pre-
cisely Ihe sentiments declared byJudgo Payne iu the
Lemon case ; aLd Mr. Lemon was actually robbed of hi
slates white la Ihe act of removing to Texts tecaue be
had tu take them ihrough'a.iSiate where "Slavery doe
not exist by law" la order to reach a port of shipment and
where therefore according to Judge Bronson the slaves
were " facto free and had as good a right to command
their muster as be bad lo command ihciu.
These remarks are not made with a View to take arj
"part wUh the Hard and Soft shell Democratic factions of
New Yurk ; for we presume .Le freesoit sentiment as ex-
pressed by Judje Prousoa and carried out by the decis
ion of Judge Payne Is about equally advocated by both
lboe factions. Bat as we bare seen a deposition In
many Southern Journals to censure President r.erco for
the removal of Judge brou-on and lo hold up the Utter
as a frieud to th Soolli we have deemed it our duty to
show what Judge Bronson Knllmenls really are; and
we cannot doubt that Ihe rosso n why he opposes the
AbclltfonistB and ads with tho Freeul!ers is the one so
often urged at the North but rarely heard at the South
namely that the Freesoilers have a much shorter way to
destroy slavery by making the doctrines or Judge Pjiyne'
decision a part of their plntru'm.

amounting lo about 81C000- It soon after become known
that Mr. Moss was partially deranged but no one appeared
to suspect his Intention of committing suicide. On going
to bed however he ctoed and fastened the doors uf his

caused some alarm when Dr. Taylor who was In the set

sent to the Arctic Ocean in March of Sir John Franklin.
It was prepared expressly for that joonnl and It very In-
teresting. An account so comprehensive and yet so con-
cl has never before been presented to the American
public.
Sir Juhn Franklin it will ha reeol'ected sailed from

their Me.
Io the autumn of 1317. no Intelligenee having been re-

Government was directed lothe necessity of searching
for and cuovejlng relief ta them; and fur this purpose
the first expedition. In three divimon. was fitted nut in
the early part of 14"! aud directed It the three different
quarters simultaneeuly: First westward. by Retiring

Uted of single shfp the Plorer commanded by Lieut.
Moore which left Eng'and in ibeTejtnmng of January

around and beyond Lancaster SvunL- They also sent

bimuliancously with them three other squadrons
mainly equipped by private enterprise entered tbe
Sound One consisting of two vessel the Advance and

second a small vessel the Felix accompanied by a ten-
der fltted out by private subscription In London and
commanded by Sit John Boss. Th third a ichooaer

that the first authentic traces ef Ibt lost expedition wa
discovered.
On the 23rd of August 18 0 Lt. Ctor of th Intrepid

Sir John Franklin was aware at Ihe lime or his depxr
lore from EazUnd. that a large depot of provisions had
been stored about half way down Prince Regent Inlet.
Under theimpressmu that he might have shaped bl
course for that point It was determined to send Ike Prince
Albert upon another voyaire to explore that region. She
accordingly sailed from Aberdeen on lh22d May lcSI.

Capt. Austin and Penny bad been directed to be deposit-
ed but she was driven by drift ice In Barrow' Sirait upon

From this point. Mr. Kennedy made a series of Journeys
during the winter and spring towards Ihe tooth and west
which are nnnaralelled In the history ofArctieenlerpric
From his own extensive exploration (amounting tu up

of Captain Austin during tbe pravlou year lr. Kennedy
la decidedly of opinion that Franklin has not taken the
south-west passage but has gone un the Wellington Chan-
nel and should now be sought Trnm the westward by
Retiring Mraits. After communicating with the Nonh

ington Correspondent of the ChartIon Courier writes
as follows:
M No official dipa'chea have yet been received by the '
Government In regard to lhe late transaction in lh
Sandwich Inlafids. No doubt exists however nf th
fact that the Hawaiian Government ha taken dt-etded
steps towards aii annexation of Ihe Island to tbe United
Slates nor Is Ihere the slighte-l doubt that their proposi-
tion will be favorably received and entertained.
The policy of expansion is a leading feature In the pol-
icy of Ibe adm!nItnilion. So far. that policy has been
beneficial tu Ihe country. We eonld not now well spar)
any one of our acquisition What could we do without;
C-tlifornta? How can we flourish withnuttha Sandwich
Islands la now the quc-lu-n? W want them as a depot
and rendezruu fur our navy and our commercial marine.
Cur settlement on tbe Puclflc Coast and our inler-oceanic-commuuWth.n

Saudwlch Idtauds. Indispensable tout: again lbelIamta
are becoming depopulated of tre natives and tbe Island
are to fall Into some foreign hand. The Hawaiian au-thontit-s
recognizing this bet are desirous that the Uni-
ted States -biiuhl be their friends and successors. Thl
fact was made known to this Government some two or
three year ago through Iho American M aslonartes
The Islanders ara jealouj of the threatened ascendancy
of England or of France. But we shall have no trouble
with them on th question. Tbe trouble lie deeper lhan
that. Can we safely bring Into the confederate republic
such distant territories? Tbe general voles of the coun-
try is In the aCnnatiTe."
Tne Choliu i ErRort. The Union MeLcale pub-
lishes the fol'owing bulletin:
