We cannot give any credit to this rumor because, in tho first place, if tho passage of the1 bill should bo defeated by the veto, the Distribution " Act"rcmairis Twhcro .it is ; whilst, if the bill should pass in its present shape, tho Distribution Act does no more than retain its present position, upon . the statute-book..

We will but glance at them, and, if the reader will accompany us, he cannot but arrive at the same conclusion : - - The Distribution Law was approved by the President on the 4th day of September, 1 841. That act contains the follo wing pro viso : " Provided That if, at any time du ring the existence of this act; there shall be an imposition of duties on imports inconsis. tent with the provisions of the act of March 2, 1833, entitled 1 An act to modify the act of fourteenth of July, 1832, and all other acts imposing duties on imports, and be yond the rate of duty fixed by that act, to wit, twenty per centum on the value of such imports or any of them; then the distribu tion provided in this act shall be suspended and shall so continue until this cause of its suspensiom-shali be- removed-aodwhen- removed, if not prevented by otner pro. visions of this act, such distribution shall bo resumed.". On the 11th day of September 1841 . seven davs after the approval of tho Distribution Act, the same Congress pass- ed " An act relative to duties and draw- backs." This act, coming in contact with the above proviso to the Distribution Act, Congress introduced and incorporated in it the following saving clause : Provided, That if, in virtue of this section, any duty exceeding the rale of twenty per centum ad volorcm shall be levied prior to tho 30lh of June, 1842, the same shall not in anywise - .-! j? -r .t I . f Lrt -r aueci me oisposuiou oi un jirwwcuo v io public lands as provided for by an act pass, ed at the present session of Congress," This act, containing the latter provision, was also approved of by the f resident. Now, then, the. bill that has passed tue Houseof-Representatives rand -now-Jn the Senate, " to extend ror a limited period the present laws for laying and collecting, duties on imports," contains the following proviso: " I'rovided, That nothing Herein contained shall suspend the distribution of tho proceeds of the public lands, any thing herein contained, and any thing contained in the proviso to the sixth section ottheact approved the 4th of September, 1841 , en titled an act to appropriate the proceeds of the Bales of tho public lands and to grant pre-emption rights', to tho contrary not. withstanding. ; , -, We submit to the common sense of our readers whether it be at all probable that the President would veto a bill because of its containing tbis-provision, when it is -seen that he approvcu ot me very same principle in the proviso to the" act of tho last session 11 rclutivo to duties and drawbacks."

In 1835, there were but 200 arrivals and clearances of steamboats and otner vessels at Buffalo, during the season of navigation. In 1840, them were 4,061 of these!
