Commissioner Janes, who held him to janswer the charge of mansliughter.— The matter came up before the Grand Jury, who after a patient and careful ex amination, have ignored the billand discharged the captain.

He read the shipping articles and explained to them that be wasamenable to tle laws of the eauntry for anything wrong that he might do. ‘The jury very properly ignored the bill and the captain was discharged.— Alta.

He has been distributing eagles and crosses of the Legion of Honor, and ranks and titles, and in fact imitating, in every particular, the modes resoried to by the most splendid autocrats, to ensure or to, reward the fidelity of his army. The address from the throne to the congregated wisdom of his empire, in Senate assembled, is % document worthy of standing side by side with those which are abn wie read in the British House of ords. It gives an analysis of the condition of the empire, ealls attention to the state of the public works, the budget, internal and ex'ernal trade, custom heu-~ ses, the crops, the army and navy, the fureign relations of the government, publie instruction, &c. In relation te the aimy and navy, the address states that they are on a respectable footing, and hints at the preciouc advantages whieh Red Sea, in 1848, visited the garden of. the country may derive from them,— What those advantages are, which are thus shadowed out in prospectu, it is nog difficult to divine, particularly when ta“The clover upon the ground was in. ken in connection with a preceding parb'oom. and aleage her the garden, inits. agrapb, referring to the Dominicans, aspects and associations, was better cal-. where Soulouque intimates the direc. culated than any place . know to soothe . tion of his poliey, in theso significant The hyma his peerless soul had learned, *Mid bitter strife and tears, h, ever shall its echo ring Through sll the coming years !

Soulonque, the black Emperor, reeruited and re-equipped his army, and placed it on as effective a footing as the re~ sources of his empire, would permit. He has been distributing eagles and crosses of the Legion of Honor, and ranks and titles, and in fact imitating, in every particular, the modes resoried to by the most splendid autocrats, to ensure or to, reward the fidelity of his army. The address from the throne to the congregated wisdom of his empire, in Senate assembled, is % document worthy of standing side by side with those which are abn wie read in the British House of ords. It gives an analysis of the condition of the empire, ealls attention to the state of the public works, the budget, internal and ex'ernal trade, custom heu-~ ses, the crops, the army and navy, the fureign relations of the government, publie instruction, &c.
