The following named gentlemen ente
ed upon the discharge of the duties o
their respective offices for the next twé
years on the first Monday of this month
A Vite SwinpLe.—A most foul fraud
has been practised upon the British Ad
for the purpose of. miralty bya contractor. Mr. Goldne
or vein of gold or. has had the contract from the Admi
ralty during the last six years for sup
plying the sailors and marines of He
ajesty’s naval forces with certain pro
visions. Itappears that from eight te
ten thousand canisters of preserved mea
Beery stored at the Gosport victuallin
.
Sisktyou.—-The name given to the
new county recently constituted in the
northern boundary of the State. has 9xcited considerable curiosity in regard to .
its origin and definition. Mr. Sn
derivation of the word, which was read”
in the Senate yesterday, shows that the
name is well chosen and appropriate.
He stated that the French words “ Six
Ca'lieux” were given toa ford on the
ven river, at which place Michel .
La Frambois, with a party of Hudson
Bay trappers, crossed in the year 1832; —
six large stones, or rocks, lay in the river
where they crossed, and thoy gave it the
name of Six Callieux, or ‘Six Stone Ford,’
and from this the mountain took its .
name—‘Six Stone Mountain.’ The explanation offered by Mr. Snyder, is recorded upon the Jontadl.<-drenmei.
A Correction.—A parigraph is going
the round of the newsp:pers, stating
that the answer of General Lafayette
to the address which, as Speaker of
the House of Representatives, thut I
made to him upon the occasion of his
last visit to this country, was prepared
by me,though pronounced by him. This
isa mistake, which. in justice both to. AN Expenstve Femave.--An econohis memory and to myself, ought to be . mist the other day observed a Indy who

as the style abundantly shows On the men upon her shoulders, and that of us

Representatives, he breakfasted with . There was not limb in her which did
me alone, and I stated or read to him . not call forthe hard work of an entire
the address which I intended to make . day of one hundred men or women ; and
him on that day. The expression oc-. if it were usaul to adorn the person with
