No E2sUMPrIoN. 1t is with sincere regret .
we announce the defeat in the Senate, by 4
vote Of s TO 9, of the resolutions passed by the
house Of delegates, requiring payment Of in
terest on the public debt to be resumed in
April, lSl7. We hal strong hopes that this
measure would have received the sanction
the Senate; but we are informed, that the
question was decided without reference to the
merits of the measure, but solely because it
was introduced at so late period of the ses-
SION. Surely it could not require much delb-
GRAFTON to determine whether the State should
or should not act honestly, having the ability
to pay. The committee Of ways and means
had shewn, that the resources of the State,
independent of revenue bills passed during the
late session, were amply sufficient to meet tn Q
accruing interest upon the public debt, and
common honesty demanded that the creditors
of the State should not be longer deprived of
their rights.


The house also passed resolution to sell the
bank stock held by the State, and to apply the
proceeds to the payment Of arearages of in
terest. This resolution was also defeated in
the Senate. These arrearages should have
been fuuded; but majority of the delegates
determined otherwise, and so the matter
stands. Thus the public creditors will be de-
prived of interest upon their stocks for anoth-
er year, if not for a longer period. This is a
! lamentable condition of things.


INTERESTING LECTURES. We ask the par
ticular attention of our readers to the adyer-


tisement of Col Lehmanowsky, in which he
proposes to give series Of Lectures on the


character, genius and career of Napoleon, EN-
peror o. France. No man can be better quail


flied to onlighten aud instruct US IN matters


connected with the eyenttul life Of this extra


ordinary man, than Col. L, he having for So


many years personally participated in the
scenes of which he will speak. Col. l.. has
been engaged in two hundred and two battles,
seventy-six Of which were general engage
mepts He bears on his body fourteen wounds
received in battle. Although for many years
u distinguished warrior, he has for some years
past been n minister Of the Prince of Peace
lie is seventy three years old; and yet, not
withstandng his age and his many wounds, he
is erect and active, and possessed of surprising
energy. His course of Lectures will possess
great interest, and will be illustrated by dia-
grams. We anticipate that they will be at
tended by crowded audiences.
