The Convention resumed consideration of the regular resolutions, the fourth resolution, relating to shipbuilding in Oregon, being next in order. Mr Watt favored the building of vessels by a union of capital by the farmers, but his amendment was lost by a large vote. Mr Geer opposed the resolution which favors the apprentice system; thought the world had gone beyond tnat, and den opneed it. • L. Mr Minto favored the resolution, and said » he had difficulty to get his son into a ma chine shop in Salem to learn a trade, as the journeymen endeavor to prevent the increase of skilled mechanics. Mr Moor took the same ground, and his remarks, and those of Mr Davidson urging the necessity of our young men being thor- ** oughly skilled in the mechanic arts, were warmly applauded, and the resolution was passed l«y a larg^ vote. An amendment F urging the Legislature to pass an apprentice law, was lost. The resolutions were severally adopted, and motion the J_— k- — V a _ ^^9 —- XT _ to A reconsider _ ■» vote « by - which • resolution No. 3 was passed, was lost by a, I ' very decided vote.

The enterprising individual who earned a few dollars by charging sight-seers admission to the house where his father was murdered, has a rival in the London proprie tor of a music hall who hired for exhibition ten of the survivers of the Northfleet disaster. Penniless as they were, they consented, and the very night after the catastro phe, less than 24 hours after the fprrihln lifp ( boil terrible trno-priv tragedy in in rpnl real life had had been enacted, these ten .meh found themselves seated upon a concert saloon stage, with the cur tain rising and revealing them amid loud cheers, to a very large and uncontrollably enthusiastic audience» The entertainment was repeated again arid again, the con* tract, being for twelve nights. Crowds greeted them every even ing, and financially it was a great success. It was a singular illus- illus tration of the freaks’ of fortune that the calamity which shocked the whole news reading world, and sent-jnore than three hundred souls into eternity, should have filled the pockets of this saloon keeper with money, and brought upon the uncouth, ill-appearing men round after round of applause for merely sitting uppon a stage from which 48 hours before they would have been ignominiously driven.
