o him alone was Mr. Astor indebted for all that was saved.
After the restoration of peace, McKenzie exerted himself to secure for
the United States the exclusive trade of Oregon, but after a long
negotiation with Mr. Astor, and through him with Messrs. Madison,
Gallatin, and other leading individuals in and out of office, the matter
was abandoned, and McKenzie, in March, 1821, joined the Hudson Bay
Company, and was immediately appointed one of the Council, and Chief
Factor. In August, 1825, he was married to Adelegonde Humburt (who
survives him), and was shortly after appointed Governor. At this time he
resided at Fort Garry, Red River settlement, where he continued to
reside until 1832, in active and prosperous business, in which he
amassed a large fortune. In August of the following year he went to
reside in Mayville, where he spent the rest of his life.

HORACE EVERETT, LL.D., formerly a distinguished representative in
Congress from Vermont, died at Windsor in that State on the 30th of
January, in the seventy-second year of his age. Elected to Congress by
the opponents of General Jackson, he entered the House of
Representatives in 1829, and was continued by his constituents,
inhabiting one of the strongest and most enlightened whig districts in
the Union, for fourteen consecutive years--his last term expiring in
March, 1843. During his career in Congress, he was one of the most
prominent whigs of the House, occupying the front rank, as one of the
most able of parliamentary debaters, distinguished also as much his good
sense and acquirements, as for his eloquence. Among his best speeches,
were several on the Indian Bill, so called, growing out of the
difficulties between Georgia and the Cherokees.

The London _Morning Chronicle_ has a brief notice of JAMES HARFIELD, who
was connected with that journal more than twenty years. His reading, in
every department of literature, was prodigious, and his memory almost a
phenomenon. On all matters connected with Parliamentary history,
precedent, and etiquette in particular, Mr. Harfield was an encyclopaedia
of information, while the stores of his learning, in every department,
were always freely at the command of his friends and colleagues. In
early life, Mr. Harfield was a _protege_ of, and afterwards acted as
secretary to, Jeremy Bentham, who acknowledged his sense of his young
friend's services by bequeathing to him a magnificent library.
