tiring luminary i" llie shape of tho subject of this privniid-iukUng.

The-v i l lage of Hmnpstcad, l ike nil other fashion-able v i l lages , has a circulating library, w h i c h , l ike r w r y other circulating library in the universe , i s a MHI of gnssipping shop. In this emporium of small ti.ik 1 v i s one day lounging, w h e n an elderly lady <nt« ru l it. I.< t mi- e l lu i .p t a sketch of her.

>l.ti w a s a l i t t le old w o m a n , much U W M I |,y Hg<> • m a r l y ninety years had passed over her head, and, «s niiglii he expected , decrepit!. A plain hlilck bon-wi i»f the " p o k e " sort, that i s , somewhat rescm-bliiij: n Quaker's , almost concea led her face, A plain Murk silk dress hung in loose folds around her shrunken foYm, and her feeble hand grasped a crutch-hcad-t d cune. W h e n she sat d o w n 1 w a s enabled to s e c her e m m t e u a u c c . It w as very striking. O / e r her forehead gray lmirs were purled, a inurh more becoming inshion, 1 unagine, than the one some elderly ladies adopt, w h o s e vanity hus out-lived their beauty, and w h o sport ringlets. T h e forehead itself w a s broad, but not remarkable for heighth, and it w a s furrowed I n u i s u r t c l y with deep l ines . T h e eyes w e r e dnrk mid v ivac ious , wonderfully s o , for so aged a woman. L ike SOL'TIIKY'H, the nose w a s lurgc and acquil inc, tmil across its sdmvp bridge w a s stretched a sort of purclimi-iit colored skin. T h o mouth w a s small , thin-l ipped and dec i s ive , and the chin small and double .

NowJ I should not so particularly havo not iced the old lady had not tho Librarian, w h o k n e w me to be curious in such matters, privately written on a s l ip of paper which he handed to m c , tho name of the ancient lady referred t o ; i t w a s no other than Joanna Bai l l io /

I hud s e e n her m a n y years lteforc, but s h e w a s n o w so m u c h altered thut I should hardly havo rc-cogni ied her. On the former occasion, too, I beheld htr sratcd in the blaze of a great theatre on tho night of the first performance of Talfourd's play of " Ion," No wonder w a s it, then, that in tho l itt le shrivel led kuly before mo, I failed to discover the authoress of the powerful tragedy of " Do Montfort.

|9 It appeared that tho great authoress had ordered n book relating to the poetesses of England. T h i s volume was handed to her by the librarian, wrapped tip in paper, but alio requested him to remove tho envelope. Tl i is lis d id , and I observed that thclold Indy, after putting on her spectac les , sought out that portion of the book which treated of her o w n productions. T h e article occupied seven or eight piijcx, but she seemed to read it with as much curiosity, eagerness and anxiety, as a young author might lie supposed to exhibit^when] perusing a criti-cinit on Ids first production. Apparently, tho p e m -KMI afforded her much gratification, for w h e n she had come to an end sho smiled graciously and oh-KM veil* to the booVseller that she wua " very wel l tipcikon of." T h e n the old lady with much ado, drew from her l i tt le hag her purse, paid for her purchase ami quitted the shop.

i \ o l long after t t i s , a gentleman who had written A iftrtitt 61» Y ' i n f o n w W L « k c , WW we • copy therro fVv l tha request that I would forward it io Joiii.na Bi.illic. I did so , but instead of sending, I took it. T h o celebrated authoress resided in. a l.oii.*o on Hollybiish Hi l l , with her s ister Agnes , iilm U iiiuiilwi lady, and thither I one afternoon bent my Meps. * .

| - - - - ^ l ^ j O u ^ c was large and somewhat gloomy, and un • . iM^ffawi - iwmle^'r - imed tii-pervado tho pluco, as 1 wni l id in the entr.vnee hall to be announced.

Ai i^ almost nlw nys -fcuml to bo the oasc with persons of genius, MiSs Baillie was aa far removed from affectation and pride as it was possible for a person to be. She spoke less of herself than of her great contemporaries, and when I ventured the remark that she was happy in having lived to enjoy her fame, she adroitly changed tho conversation, as though her. modesty forbade her to dwell on self.— Her anecdotes were piquant and plenty—but unluckily they were of too personal a nature for pub* lieation just now. On some future occasion, when certain parties cannot bo offended by their circulation, they may meet the public eye.

I quitted Hollybnsh House that evening, after having passed a most pleasant hour—never again, as it proved, to see its gifted occupant, who, full of ymrs and honor, died recently, leaving a name which shall ever be an honored one irt tho list of our Literary Women.

MRS. HARKIET LEE. Every one has read that magnificent play of Lord

Byron's entitled " Wcmcr," and every one also is aware that hia Lordship condescended to Iwrrow from the Canterbury Talcs—Krcutzner, tho main incidents of the plot, albeit he onco declared that he held " she-books" in abhorrence. These said Canterbury Tales were written by Sophia and Harriet Lee, many years since. The former lady died somo t ime ugo, and the grave has wi th in the last s ix w e e k s c losed over the mortal remains of her accomplished sister.

About three years s ince I had the honor of an introduction to M i s s L e e . S h e w a s then residing a t Cl i f ton, n e a r ' B r i s t o l , in England, for the benefit of her health. In respect of personal appearance there w a s nothing about her remarkably striking-S h e w a s \ the great ngc of ninety-four, but her v ivac i ty jvus great and her facult ies but little. blunted by t ime . H e r face w a s animated in i ts express ion , but I sh«uld imagine had never been handsome, i f wc except that beauty which superior intel lect almost a l w a y s confers on its possessor .

M i s s L e e ' s conversat ional powers w e r e very great, and sho abounded in anecdote . I w e l l remember being one of a c irc lo w h o w e r e del ighted wi th her remin i scences of Mrs . S iddons and John Kemhle , w h o w e r e her intimato friends. " A h ! " said s h e , w i t h a s igh, after their narration, " o n l y one of my old friends surv ives—Samue l • Rogers ." l iong , say 1, may he w h o sang tho " P leasures of M e m o r y " survive as the happy conversational memorial ist of that brilliant e r a !

M i s s L c c and her s i s ter w e r e the first Jo predict the e m i n e n c e o f S i r T h o m a s L a w r e n c e , w h o , in \w after l ife, in acknowledgment of their k indness and as a memorial of their regard and friendship, presented to them portraits of Mrs. S iddons and John K i m b l e , and the inoro valuable portrait (ono of h is very bes t ) of General Puoli ,

As 1 sa id , Mrs. L e e died very recently . L o n g ago she said sho we l l k n e w thut D e a t h w a s at work wi th in , and that she submitted to tho stroko wi th humble hope and resignation, and thankfulness for a not unhappy, and perhaps not unuscful life.

T h i s inadequate tribute to her memory is paid in conf idence that before long an abler hand wil l g ive memoir s of this remarkable woman to the world .

A A PON 11. ST0OKKV TO BE EXKCUTRD.—A SKETCH or Ilia Lin;.—Yesterday afternoon wo visited the unfortunate Aaron h. Stool-n/, who is now clottnly confined within the walls of tho City Prison, awaiting his execution under the gullows, fur the murder or a no-r,m nnntt'd Zcddy Moore. Since the Hon. Judge Edmonds decided that u new trial for Camel w a s denied by tho Supreme Court, it appears Stookoy has been more composed and resigned to meet his awful fate, than at any previous period since his sentence. Yesterday, however, when he w a s Informed that Carnel was nof to be hung with him, be became apparently unnorved and slightly deranged, but In consequence, of being assured there w a s yet n hope for a respite in his case from the Executive of tlio State, ho renewed his spirits, and snid be trusted tho Oovcnior would allow him to live a short time longer, l i e gave us the fullowlug sketch of his life, while we were In his cell: He was born of Scotch parents, in the year 1609, at a little villagn culled " Connecticut Farms," situated in the County of Sussex, N e w Jersey His parents woro in moderate circumstances, but managed to give him a plain .education and always endeavored to keep him within the path of virtue and morality. When about 10 years of age he commenced to learn the Blacksmiths trade, in which he succeeded, and continued to work at it for some eleven or twelve years, at which time he removed to this city, and entered into the butchering business, bnt finally embarked in the occupation of buying and selling all kinds offish, oysters, A c , at the Essex Market in Orand-at., where he also filled the situation of market sweeper, until be left there and opened a Porter House In Anthony-street, which he kept at the time he committed the horrible deed for which he is now confined, and sentenced to pay the last debt of nature this morning between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock. Here the Rev. Mr. Camp and Mr. Gilbert came in, and wishing to be alone with the murderer, we were compelled to abandon the con-vernation, and left the clergymen praying with the culprit, who it is stated, has made his peace with his maker and has for several nights and days past prayed and sung hymns while alone in his cell,—thus preparing to meet his God, whoso forgiveness he has begged and sought for many weeks and months.

Stookey has neither rather nor mother living, and no relations to mourn for nun, except three half brothers, who, together with a large number of .personal friends, visited him yesterday, andjshook the culprit by the hand for the last time, aa his.earthly existence will undoubtedly be terminated ere the sun sets again.

The gaUows was erected yesterday afternoon in the rear or the city prison, and to judge from the vast number of persons who called at the Sheriff's office yesterday for permits to witness the execution, the prison yard will be densclyjcrowded during the solemn and andaf* fcrtlng ceremonies. Drs. John A. Sldell, of No. 00 rrince-st., and John J. Crane of No, 4M Broadway, have' been selected by Sheriff* Csrnley as ths attending phy* aiclans,

THE EXECUTION To-DAY.—ThiB forenoon is the time appointed for the execution of Aaron B. Stookey, for the murder of Henry WaU. Henry Carnel was also to be executed, but Jndge Harris having granted a stay of proceedings, the execution of his sentence has been put on". At a late hour, yesterday, 8herlft Carnley received a dispatch from Gov. Hunt, positively declining to. grant a reprieve to Stookey; The applications for admission to witness the execution have been very large— about eighteen hundred—but most of tho applicants were refused. This desire to obtain admission to the gallows yard, is, wc think, highly reprehensible, and we are Rlad to know that tho Sheriff baa decided not to grail •

lesple, on the third count or the Indictment aa aiding and abetting. In his, Mr. Blunt's opinion, after the evidence taken in the trial or Clarke on Tuesday, it would be unsafe fbr a Jury to find a verdict or guilty of murder, and Brown could not be tried for any lesser grade, except assault and battery on that Indictment.

Hon. R. H. Morris, who had defended Clarke the day previous, said he had consulted with the prisoner, and advised him to plead guilty to assault and battery.

Chief-Justice Edmonds—Why, assault and battery on an officer in dlacharge or his duty would be felony.

Mr. Morris ssld be did not mean that. He only plead guilty to assault and battery.

The District Attorney Intimated that tho assault by Brown would not be of that grade of offence alluded to by the Court; and added that be thought he w a s acting In the discharge of his duty In accepting the plea of assault and battery.

Mr. Morris said it w a s due to his client to state that he had nothing to do with the previous fracas which led to tho riot in Ollver-st. That he w a s coming out of his own house, and the first thing he knew w a s the salute from a club. He (Mr; M.) had portrayed to his client the danger he w a s In from the excited state of the public mind, and, under hut (Mr. M.'s) advice, ho (Brown) had consented lo plead guilty.

The District Attorney said it would be proper to state Hint tho testimony of Michael Wogan, which w a s not produced yesterday, went to prove that after the death of Gillespie, Wogan had said—pointing to the body—to Clarke, " There are your deeds of last night;" to which Clarke replied, " It can't be helped now, but it waa Brown who brought the rung and gave it to me."

After a few further observations, Brown w a s , in Ihe usual way, called up for judgment, and in answer to the Clerk's question said: "I've nothing to say more than that I'm Innocent.'*

Chief-Justice—Brown, the whole evidence shows you are not Inuocem. You were both quarrelsome and drunk, and the death of/ a valuable police officer wil l He at your door, and probably the death of your comrade, who w a s tried yesterday. T w o lives, therefore may be said to be sacrificed to your misconduct. The Court see no reason at all for any mitigation of your punishment, and you are sentenced to one year's Imprisonment In the Penitentiary. The prisoner w a s then removed.

Payment of Witnesses.—Six or the witnesses, all seafaring men, In the case or the People vs . Clarke and Browne, Indicted for murder, have been in confinement since the 10th or July, in order to secure their testimony for the People. Ou molioii or the District Attorney, the Court ordered them to be compensated as follows; Plumblcy, who had been second mate or a vessel at $30 per month, $731 Palmer, Sweeney, Donelly and Sutton, seamen, $40 each; Galloway nothing, as the District Attorney did not think tie told the truth. The Court then adjourned to Thursday.

T H B C I T Y C O U R T . — B e f o r e H o n . Judge GREESWOOD.—Been vs. the PMani* Glaii Cosuaaf.r-This cause, which occupied the ..Court for. (mi days, terminated on Wednesday evening, with a verdict for the plaintiff, damages $640, w k v i a s a n acUoa brought for the recovery or moneys loaaed.to one Robert B. Clark. late Secretary and Treasurer to the Company. The two questions that novornedltte cause were, whether the Company were authorized to borrow money, and whether Clark w a s their agent so as to render them liable for his acts. His duties were defined by the bylaws, and in addition to those orTreasurer aud Secretary, he bad to perform such other duties aa were required by the Trustees; but what these were was not publicly declared. It seemed, however, that he was in the habit of buying and selling, and had charge or the Banking accounts or the Company; from these facts it was endeavored to be shown that persons dealing with him were justified in considering him as clothed with full authority, and it would be impossible for them to draft tbe line ; but could only suppose that the money wan borrowed with the privity and ibr the use or the Company, u they lawfully might do.

It is said that (here fare several oilier claims (hat will be made acuinst the Company, if the present verdict,

Tbe defence was that a fraud bad been practiced by plaintiff, in interfering with the customers, in violation of the agreement, and that tbe note had been paid, all but $r>n. It was conceded that some, pa; incuts had been nindc, leaving n balance of $300; but It w » i contended -that a receipt for $-200 had been altered lo $-'00; and a magnifying glasa produced, and cxjierts examined, who stated the appearance was at least suspicious.

• the first question, it was shown that one of tbe custom-| t-rs, the proprietor of the Franklin Hounc, would uot

have dealt with the defendants, under any circumstances ; and the Judge left the fact entirely to the jury, aa to the alteration; and they, after a short deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, $36043; thereby pronouncing that the receipt had been altered as alleged.

If ritttcinpfto'jtlepict tlio ml-vnntHgcs which litis grehito city - has . derived from the system' of Intcrnnl Improvement, the completion of winch' she now celebrates,! my, p e n w i i l fail, [ fear, to add much to tlio information on that subject, which•$?few-Yorkers have nlroady acquired j for so intimately connected are llic great commercial marts . of the North , ' that almost every.! child among our people lias,a distinct realization of the mat te r ; and •their miiuls arc aided in grasping this important sub-

: jec t , by their acquaintance with tho vise, progress and .success of kindred e n t c r p m e s within our own borders. ' Liittle is left me, except to give such slight particulars of events us may escape tho telegraph. .'. Never before, probably, was this goodly city so crowded to overflowing. Indeed her torturous, ever-witidii)g,nrver-eiidingslrcets,highwaysand by-ways, 'and narrow sidewalks, to say'nothing of her Hotels, unci princely mansions, seem quito inadequate to the ucccmiiwdation of those who attend her festal day. It is really amusing, (if it is not unkind to laugh lit the slight, though numerous troubles of itinerants)

' to witness the swarms of new arrivals at all hours of the day mid night posting about from ono point to another in the viiin hope of finding " accommodations," where they.'may lay riff tlie travellers garb, nnd with it the dust anil weariness of the day ; and when at last tho poor unfoitimntcs succeed in HC-ctirin.ir a eot—in "iSTo. 9," perhaps—and have limo to" look about 'them, they are led in view of their Into despair almost to 'bless tho auspicious star which guided them to a place of repose and a private room, even though they share its privacy with nineteen other of the genus homo ! Boston is renowned for her many and fiuo Hotels ; and wo may form somo idea of the number of strangers who a ronow her guests, when I stale that the Trcnwut, (whoso excellent reputation W'ns never better deserved than under its present luiuiiiia'ineut) lues, during tho, lust two days, accommodated not less than four handled per day with lodgings, while its excellent table yesterday and to-day supplied the,' internal necessities of over five hundred (liners, Tho Revere, probably furnished these necessary comforts to as many, more; while Che United Mutes (11 tlno mid commodious house, conveniently located directly opposite the Worr-cster Depot) lnstnight lodged over six hundred, and have a little over seven hundred on their hooks to-day, And so it is with nil j—every house is stretched to its utmost capacity.

Yon may imagine that wo have hero a singular representation of various racos and modifications of races of

•men. Hero wo see the Canadia Johnny Hull, with his lull, ruddy face and square-toed boots; and there tlio French Canadian, with his lithe form; well-trimmed •moustache and miniature, Ivory-headed cane; Again wo have tho native of the Emerald Isle, fresh from'Her Majesty's North American Provinces, with his jelly, good-natured phiz, ever open in honor of some joke of Itis own perpetration or enjoyment; the canny Scotchman, with his shrewd, quiet twinkle: the kcqudealurcd,smoothly-shaven Yankee; the Imslling/ricrvous New-Yorker; tho dark-eyed, brown-visnged representative of the sunny South; and, indeed, a.small sprinkling o f " tho rest of mankind "—afi mingling in happy fomi/uirity, and enc/t engaged in the meritoriousduty of giving and receiving that interchange,of ijood'feeling' which ,is the highest ofilio'oii such*au'occasi6ii;?;:;S.6, tbbV'usHvo pass;:along die streets, one rimy see; bunging IVbut various p'bints, the flag of old England,'-tho tri-color ol'/« belli; 1'ranee, nnd the stars arid stripes of our own1 happy laud,.all gracefully blended, lu : beautiful typo of chat harmony, which now hinds tho nations together.

Rev, Mr. P U A S B then addressed it, He said it was difficult to say, what ought to bo said, within the time allotted to h im; but when ho looked upon those who wero about to leave, for Africnj and tako part there in tho efibrts made for its ovangilization, and saw here the sympathy they excited, his heart was filled with the deepest 'emotion. There-was an interest hero to-night,—one which tho whole country ought to sympathize with, and which Africa herself could feel—Africa, once, runowncd for her heroes,-scholars and sagos,—but for three thousand years sunk in the depths of misery and crime,—n nation whose name .staiuKhighcr on tho pago of prophecy than tiny oilier,—a continent which must bo redeemed,— this great not Inn, Is still sunk in the depths of degradation, All efforts to plant Christianity Chore,—efforts inado by Spnin,Dcnmark and England,—have failed. When he looked upon tlie colored man in this country, ho said he felt ready to slieteh out liis hand to him, with n degree of sympniliy ho felt for no oilier class. ][« regarded thorn as Hie civilized instruments for redeeming Africa from her bondage, The career that lies before them sooined to him more illustrious than dial of any oilier class of men. While ovcry other effort has failed, (lod seems to have reserved the work of redeeming Africa for lier own children, God in liis wisdom has permitted a portion of ibis race lo lie taken away from their own shores and plamcd in the lap of American civilization and around the altars of American Christianity. Those hero to-uii;hl are the descendants of one of tlio worst races in tlie world, and wlic.ii brought lo Ibis country, wore placed in tlie situation perhaps adapted bettor than any other to lit them for their work. Tlio star of Africa's "ro-dCKipllori, arose tinder the irilluqncb of (his Society, by whose efforts those sons of Africa who are titled for it are returned to one of tho best countries In tho world, No questions create more interest hero than tlioso which relate lo the condition and prosperity .of..(ho.African race ; and if all the excitement which lias prevailed upon the subject wero only sanctiliod,; it :wouliK result in unbounded good lo that portion of tub human family. .The Africans in this country arc infinitely hotter on" Chun any other portion of Che African race, except those iii Colonics which this Society lias planted. God's design in introducing Africans into ibis country, was. not to increase its .wealth, nor to inakb them operatives in any department of labor. The great object to bo effected hy it is the civilization nnd the salvation of that portion o'f the race placed here. • InVieo brunches of Clio Church,

The Express, speaking of tlio oniigration from Ireland, says that it must constantly Increase, and that thcroisno diminution oftho domain! for labor in this country; tlmt tliere are moro and more railroads to lie built in |lio United States, and that, as Irishmen or their children, become Americanized at once, thoro Is no causo for iilfl'rin nt tho Increiisn of Htelr minihers, The emigration Is, however, producing a remnrkablo revolution in Ireland Itself. As the Irishman goes out, tho Englishman or Scotchman goes in, and thus die population of die country is constantly changing. Upon this feature 7Vi« Express conmieiils thus:

Since the above was written for Inst evening's edition, Coroner Geer proceeded to the prcmUcs and found Chat the mother was not dead, as at. first reported; hut.the child was n corpse, and, upon inquiry, it was found to bo (lie offspring of an ignorant German woman named Barbara Ifunsslcr, wito, from the evidence adduced on (he inquest, appears co have administered to lier child an overdose of opium, without knowing its effect. The child was very restless, and the mother was innocent in giving it the opium. Therefore, a verdict liv accordance with die,above facts, was rendered.

L e t t e r from Sir . Rives ,—The Y a c h t A m e r i c a . Fraiiithc Courier and Enquinr.

We take peculiar pleasure in presenting our readers with, the subjoined patriotic and eloipient letter of mir'Minister at Paris to one of our most esteemed fellow-citizens in regard to the late proud achievement of the gallant little America. It is made up of noble sentiments nobly spoken, reflecting honor alike upon its author and its subject :

I Boui.or>NE-si;n-MER, Aug. 24, IS5J. ,Mv DEAR Sin: I congratulate you with my wholo

heart on the success of the gallant America in her contest with the Royal Yacht Squadron the day before yesterday, the result of which has just been communicated tb me here, *

When I had the pleasure of seeing you at Paris, I told you how much I felt our national honor and interests to be involved in the issue ofany match the America might; engage in at Cowes, and how much I relied on the sagacity, judgment nnd skill of Commodore Stevens, with his spirited and patriotic companions, to uphold the reputation of our glorious, flag. The contest has now been decided; and the America, and with her our American scars and stripes,' have been once more victorious. And what a victory'! To beat Britannia, " Whoso flag has braved a thousand years the battle and

the breeze,!' to beat her in lier own native seas, in the presence of her Queen, nnd contending against a fleet of sevemeea sail of lier picked models of naval architecture, owned nii(irpersonally directed by tho proudest names of her no-Wlty—her Marlbbrbiig|is and her Anglesey's—is something iliafmny. "well encourago us in die; race of maritime competition which is set before us.

The destinies of tho world in regard to civil and political liberty, and progressive civilization of every kind, must deperjd in a great degree upon that poyvcr which shall obtain a permanent ascendancy on the seas. Ever since, the 'ilemonstrations or our naval aptitudes and prowess which the war of 1812 gave rise to, all eyes have been turned to America as a candidate for that great and glittering, and if rightly used, most noble prize. I have always said tlmt our ships are our best represenM-tives abroad, and Commodore Stevens and his brethren of the New-York Yacht Club, have shown how well they understand their mission. Honor and thanks to thejn, then, for having added another glorious day to our national calendar; for so highly do I estimate the importance, in its effect direct and indirect, or their successful achievement of peaceful rivalry, the day before yesterday, that tlie 22d of August is" destined, in my opinion,'"to take rank in our annals with those days which have been .rendered memorable by victories won at sea or on land, or have been otherwise endeared to us by associations connected with our national renown.

And how oportunely has all this come to raise us up from die depressing eflects of our supposed failure in the exhibitions of the Chrystnl Palace—an arena i» which I liavoulways been inclined lo question the policy of our appearance at this linie in the character of competitors, as it was early to be foreseen that objects of inere /lui/ry.and artistic elegance would be predominant tliere, iii regard co which it was not to be expected that .so youiig a people could1 contend on emial terms with die older and more luxurious nations of Europe. Shipbuilding and die arts of seamanship, however, with. other pursuits of die useful and the original, belong to the bold and adventurous youth of our country, and I trust ft is now demonstrated that in these we need not fear a. comparison with the resUif the .world. The arts of elegance will follow in their turn, and in'due season. In tho meantime, we cannot cherish with too mucli pride and fondness that element of bur national strength

'which,in the extraordinary mechanical improvements of die ago, has become an indispensable means of security and self-defense, while it. must, in the end, exercise a controlling influence upon the destinies of the civilized world! Jii ibis connection, I trust our legislators will

not be unmindful of the high duly they are.uuder of giving on effectual encouragement Tind support to cho noble. enterprise that has been commenced, with such brilliant success, in your city, for vindicating our equal share in the navigation of the ocenii between the Old and New World by slenm ; and tho wholo nation will, I am sure, rise up and cheer die America by tlicir joyous and spontaneous acclamations, (the only "encouragement, happily, which she requires), as soon as tlie news of her success shall meet our shores. •

I have not the pleasure of being personally known to Commodore Stevens, Imt I pray you to present my best respects to him, with my warmest thanks as an American citizen, for the proud leaflic has added to the chap-Ic-t of our naval and national renown.

Believe me, my dear sir, very trul v and faithfully yours, w. c RIVES.

Before Justice J, B. Kma—An action of Ejectment— A comfortable arrangement for winter,—-Mrs. Mary B. Crary, an. elderly lady, residing at tho corner of Pearl and Fulton-streets, appeared, attended by a youthful staff to complain of " a single young man lodger," w h o had contumaciously refused to pay his rent except under certain conditions. It appeared that the tenant in possession (who we understand fs & strict mysogonist) had had his feelings outraged by a proposition to appropriate . the landing or entry outside his bed-room door, as a sleeping, or resting place for some, female women, and. h a d ' refused to perform his covenant for payment in advance, . unless the project w a s abandoned; whereupon the present proceedings h'ad been adopted.

Witnesses w e r e examined on both sides as to the original agreement, which w a s a parole one, and Mrs. Crary's son swore hard and fast that on the demise the use of said landing for this purpose had been specially reserved, which the tenant in possession indignantly denied ; and his servant swore that he w a s to have, and always had had, the use of it.

His Honor Judge King thought the weight or evidence w n s against the. tenant, but suggested a compromise, and it w a s arranged that matters should remain in statu quo for the current month, at the end or which period he (the tenant) would surrender peaceably the possession to some more sociable successor, who will better appreciate the advantages or the proposed domestic arrange; ments. - --•

DISTRICTS.—The want of Philadelphia, for years past, has been a Consolidation of tho City proper with the outlaying Districts of Moyomensing, Kensington, Spring Garden a n d . the Northern Liberties. The riots and bloodshed that form an indelible blot on the fair fame of the Quaker city, might probably have been avoided, had . their management of affairs been confided to one strong arm instead of many weak ones. A gang of rowdies from an adjacent District make a foray into the heart of the City, commit their depredations, and retire unmolested. Under a single government, this evil could be remedied with little trouble; as it i s , no hope of abetter condition or things need be entertained. In this v i e w or the case, we are glad for the credit of Philadelphia, that efficient measures have been finally adopted to effect the much-desired Consolidation. The following resolutions were presented by the Editor of The Evening Bulletin at a meeting on' Wednesckiy, and adopted unanimously:

Whereas, The reasons for uniting the city or Philadelphia and the adjacent Districts in a Municipal Corporation have not diminished, but have increased; and are : increasing, and an economical administration or municipal authority, a decrease of taxation, a saving of expense In the collection or taxes, a liquidation or the public debts, a more perfect administration,'a unanimity o f . reeling and interest, nnd greater strength in local govern-. ' ments continue to be objects or the first importance, > which ought to be pursued until they are obtained, Therefore, . - -;

Resolved, That the Incorporation or Philadelphia w i t h a single government co-extensive with the l imits of a l l the adjacent districts, is necessary to attain those objects, and that an act for that purpose ought tq be passed at the next session o f t h o Legislature. - - ••;- ;

That the general call for this union has been twice answered by a police l a w ; that the first w a s entirely ineffective, nnd the last is not the united and powerful police of a single city, bat only the cooperating police of separate municipalities, and although of improved efficacy In cases of ordinary disturbance and riot, it would fail in coses of extensive commotions like those of the year 1844.

Resolved, That the Execntive Committee, appointed at a generaltown-meetlng, held at the County Court House on the 10th November, 1849, and continued at another general town-meeting, held at the samo place on the 16th September, 1850. be and the some is hereby continued, with power to fill vacancies, and to add to their number, and with instructions to adopt and pursue such measures by the formation of tickets, or otherwise, • as they may find necessary to carry Into effect the v i ews of this meeting. , -

If the men w h o take hold of this matter are reaUy in

earnest, the next yeor should beer witness to a change.

Tlio U, S. Mail steamship Cherokee, Capt. WINDLE, arrived nt this port yosterday afternoon, from Iluvumi on the 17th inst. Tho news iB nut important.

The island was perfectly quiet, and tho prospects of business were improving.

Tlio Ciiptnin Genornl had made n visit to DahiaHonda, to recompense tho people who liavo sustained losses by the. invasion.

Tlio inhabitants of Havana have raised about $70,000 for the benefit b( tho widows and orphans of tho Spanish soldiers who fell in. tho engagements with tho troops iimlor Lopez.

The funeral obsequies of tho slain wore celebrated nt the Cathedral,'at Havana, on tho 9th, with great pomp.

The rejoicings at Havana were very great at tho annihilation ol* the expedition,

A lew days previous to tho sailing of the Cherokee, tho British Consul had interceded for the prisoners, and had procured n rnitigation of punishment, so far'as to get the chains tnken from their limbs.

One of tho passengers of tho Cherokee, who was on shore nt Havunn, and visited the American prisoners, states that nineteen of them were in good health, and twenty-six were in tho hospitals, Tlio hitter would be sent to Spain. They had published a card of thanks to the ofllccrs of tho United States sloop-of-war Albany, to the manager of the prison, the British Consul, and to tho resident American's, in which they express their gratitude to each' for tho kindness and sympathy expressed, and the measures taken in their behalf, Out in smother card they condemn, in tho strongest terms, tho conduct of Mr. Owen, the American Consul.

On tho 15th inst., eight more American prisoners wcro brought into Havana, having been captured in the mountains, Tlio following are tho names of the prisoners who have been taken sinco our last advices: Cnpt, John Johnson, Kentucky; Eugono Cay, London, England; George Tarr, Petersburg, Vn.; John A, Sowers, Borry-ville, Va.; Joseph Stevens, New-York ; 1'rederick Ha-gar, Prussia; Andres Cestera, Spain. In Hospital— Dnvid Guno, of Now-York ; Charles J, Hodgo, of England,

A Spanish frigate sailed from Havana on tho 10th with 150 of tlio American prisoners.

The. Gaccta de la liabana of Sept. J7, contains the petition of several of tho prisoners, who formed a part of this expedition, invoking tho clemency of the Captain General. They state that they have obtained the good opinion of their jailers by their excellent conduct since they have been in prison, and that they wero deluded into tho expedition by ambitious and interested traitors. They oxprcsstho hopes that tho sulToring experienced by them on their enpture, may prove a sufil-cicnt atonement for their crime,

FATAL ACCIDENT OX THE HUDSON ; RIVER RAILROAD,—Coroner Gccr was called yesterday morning to hold an inquest nt the New-York Hospital on tlio body of a man named Cornelius Foley, who came to his death by injuries received on tho Hudson River Railroad. It appears that the deceased was employed by the; Company as a watchman on the road, and was statiouod. nt Fort Washington Point, where ho was standing on tho ovening ofthol3th inst,,with u lauthorn in his hand, when the Poughkccpsie down train of cars came along, tlio locomotive of which camo in contact with his legs and terribly injured his limbs, thus resulling in his death. A verdict in accordance with the above facts was rendered by the jury.

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, a brnkeman on the Harlem Railroad, by tho name of John McNulty, met with a serious and probably fatal accident, while ongaged on a gravel train. It appears the train was coming down tho lower end of tho road, and while tho poor man was answering n signal to "brake up," he suddenly lost his balance, and fell over tho platform, at tho same time catching his foot in tho break, which crushed it in a shocking maimer. The speed ofthe locomolivo was soon slackened, and when tho train was stopped, the collar bono of tlio unfortunate man was discovered to be broken, and his limbs fearfully injured. Ho wns brought to tho city, and conveyed to the N. Y. Hospital, where Dr, Allen dressed his wounds in n skillful mid scicntillc manner.

T H E CONCEKT TO-NIOHT.—At Triplcr Hull this ovening wo nnticipnten largo audienco towclcomo Miss HAVS. The talent combined in the programme of her first Concert has rarely been equalled in this country, and has but once been excelled, The reputation of Miss HAYES is second only to that of JENNY LIND, and though tho formor has not mndo her. advent in tlio now world under ns favorable auspices as thoso of tho latter, yot wo believe sho wi l l soon bocouio as great a fnvorllc. Tho Americans, as n people, have a natural tnslc fur ballad music, and when an artist like JENNY LIND or Miss HAVES sings for them the songs they hnvo known from' childhood, thoy becomo ut onco public idols, This was clearly evidenced at tho closing series of Miss Lind's Concerts.: Tho sweetest gems from tho great masters did not awaken half tho enthusiasm that greeted " Home, sweet Homo," " Tlio lost Roso of Summer," a n d " Comin* thro' tho Rye."

NATIONAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY".—The Broadway Tabernaclo was tilled at an early hour yesterday evening, at the Tenth Quarterly meeting of this Society. Wc do not remember to have ever seen tlio house more densely .crowded than on this; occasion, Tlio President, JOHN FAI.CONT.II, Esq., occupied tho Chair. The exercises opened with a quartette by" the Alleghiuiians," followed with prayer by Rev. George Drown. A brief report was read by Rev, C, J, Warren, Secretary of tho Society, presenting tlio condition nnd operations ofthe Society and of tho Industrial Iloino at tlio Five Points,

lion. E. Fitch Smith made on able argument on tho legality nl'dio license law, and dcfumled tho proposition Hint, " Independent of legislation, tho right to vend ardent spirits does not exist." The address was a written one, and the argument will, wo hope, be presented to tho public through sonio of our temperance journals, as an eloquent and forcible advocacy ofthe legality of temperance legislation.

Rev, Mr, Corey, Pastor of tlio Tenth-street Baptist Church, followed in n very eloquent and effective speech, filled witli striking facts mid illustrations,'which at one time thrilled the audience and at another convulsed the hearers with laughter.

Tlio Allcghniiians interspersed tho exercises with a number of exquisto songs, sevoral of them heiuitiftil tom-pernnco odes, "Tlio Bird Soiig," sung by Miss Goode-now was loudly encored, when she uppenrcd and gnvo "Alice, lieu Holt." If tho songs of thoso vocalists arc all equal to those they snug last evening, thoy will earn for. themselves u wide reputation, and golden opinions.

Our limits prevent us from giving even u synopsis of tho two speeches, and Mr, Warren's remarks. Tho meeting, we believe will lie followed by the best results', as n marked and lasting impression was evidently mudo by the addresses, and the facts presented,

The following resolutions, which cover llic ground, and form tho battle-field, of the temperance men this fall, Wcro enthusiastically received and responded to:

Resolved, Tlint it is tho right and duty of .the peoplo to. protect themselves, and secure posterity against tlio evilN of Intvuipcoauce.

John Bishop, M. O,—My ofllcojis at No. 66 Brbbmo-stroet; I am attached to tho Now-York Dispensary; on tho evening previous I went to Cliff-street, to attend n woman in confinement, and on my return I called in at tiio Saloon,1: comer ofOrangc and Chatlinm-streots,to get somorofresh-ment; I had taken what I wanted and went to tho hnrjto-pny my bill, when three mon enmo in; somo conversa-' lion took nlaco between the three—St was somothing like; this: "Why did you coll mo in? Did you call mo in to treat?"—when tlio ono in tlio white coat struck o'he'of tho others; next tho bar-keeper, tho landlord, and I think two others, steped out and attempted to put them out of the room; tho bar-keeper took hold of tho one in the drab coat, tlio lust witness took another, and somo person took a third, and there was quite a rnelco, and I recollect a man In the comer of tho room being struck by ono of the Germans, and I stepped up and told tho man who was bcniing him to give over, and put him out civilly; the German had previously been struck by tho drab-coutcd man; only ono wont out, and shortly alter tho pistol was fired; I was about eight or ten feet from tho door; I sow. the blaxo of. it, but could not say who fired It; the (lash ofthe pistol was all thai met my eye; thede-ccascd wns within three feet of tho door; I could not •'bliylf he could be seen outside; immediately he w*J

shot I went to his assistance; he spoke in German; I removed his handkerchief, and the blood came out profusely ; I put my fingers into the hole to keep tho blond in ; I could not swear to what took place after, as my attention was first directed to the relief of the patiem, and next to get out myself; I did not go to tho Hospital.

Cross-examined by Clark,—I should not say the actions of the three young men, who entered the place, to bo mere playfulness ; limy said ometliing to each other and one si ruck the other; nc:;t they were put out by tho Germans; the deceased was a sober man I should say; tic was a short, thick set man; the man I saw si ruck win; not the prisoner; onc of thntiireu had-a drab coat on ; he was the smallest of the three, and about the size of iho prisoner; he was pulled over or fell on the right side of his face, by the bar-keeper; he. got up or was lilted up and put out, and then the pistol w;w fired in a very short time, in a minute or two, not live or six I should say; I did not hear the door closed and I don't know whether the door was closed or not before the pistol was fired; I could not toll how far the man slood oir, who fired the pistol; I thought the putting out was done earnestly ns if they intended to put thorn out.

Hy the Court—I do not know that more force was used than was necessary; saw no blows struck except at the man in tho corner. The man in the drab coat was jerked from Hie door hv tho bar-keeper, who had him by tho collar; did not see him struck; the bar-keeper was the larger man.

Reexamined— Saw the man In the drab coat strike, the man who was in the corner. They appeared to have been drinking, or wcro under the influence of liijuor ; can't identify the prisoner. I do not recollect seeing any resistance. I spoke to the man who was beating him, and said lie had better let hint go. I then backed out, to get away myself. • 'Wm. C. Roberts, M. V.—Made the post-mortern examination of the deceased. The testimony of this witness agreed with lliat of the previous witness. Tiio wound in the throal was the cause or death.

James Whitley, examined by District Attorney.—I live at Ko,27Roseveli-slreut; was standing near the Chatham-street Theater on the morning tlte man was shot; heard the report of a gun or a pistol from (he opposite side of the street; I saw a man come up out of a basement mid run in the direction of Pearl-street; he had n light colored top coal on ; it was on his buck ; there were two ofllccrs with mc, who ran after tho man; I followed them and they arrested him near Chatham-street.

Hylhe Court-—Lost sight of the man when he turned the comer, before the ofllccrs arrested him.

The Court here suggested that it would be well for the Jury at this lime to take a view of the scene of tho imitdcr,io which the counsel assented, and tho Court udjourncd until 2 o'clock.

^Afternoon Session. The Court and Jury re-assembled at 2 P. M. J. C. Gaffney called by the District Attorney—-I reside

in Peurl-sircct; in May last resided in Reekman-streei; on the night of this occurence I accompanied a young man named Blaney to the house of Ricketts; as f went down the steps I saw the man that was killed standing over the prisoner who was on the'lloor; the other man was near him, but not touching him; the prisoner bounded from the lloor and ascended the steps ; I was surprised to see him so nimble, supposing he was drunk; I lurncd to look at him, and he was in the net of firing, (here the prisoner put himself in the position in which the prisoner stood); the ball passed by my head, and I* went down to the assistance of the man who was shot at; put his hand to his throat, and the prisoner was brought in without his coat; 1 identified him, and said I would go for a doctor, but there was agentlemanpresent who said he was a doctor, and that there was no danger ; I said there was danger; I am positive the prisoner is the man who fired that shot, that is from his hand camo the blaze and the report; I could have touched him nt tho timo ho fired; BInney was tho only person there beside mc; lhadnovcr seen him before that night, hut am certain he is the man.

Hy the Court.—I said in his presence that night that ho was Iho person who fired the pistol at the Italian House; I asked him if he had seen me before, and he said "No," and I then said I bad identified him bcfiire, and he said ii was none of my business; I have been applied to by the mother of the prisoner—

Clark,—That wont do! District Attorney,—I am not going to ask what wns

said. Mr. Gafihey, have you had any conversation with me before?

Witness.—No. lhj Counsel for Prisoner.—-1 saw the prisoner on the

floor from the steps; you can see it from the street. I dont know the name ofthe place I had been to that night. I should say the prisoner was not drunk. Mulvey could not be more limn two feet and a half or three feet from Iho door when he was down. The pistol was fired almost insinntancously after Mulvey got up on the steps. Ho sprung up (prcmost, turned round and fired,

Patrick lllancy "examined by District Attorney.—-Re-sido in Rosovelt-strcet, nnd was in company with tho two last witnesses on the morning of the occurrence at Rickctt's. Saw a man in a drab coat lying on the ground, and a man standing over him. The man in a drab coat got up by himself and ran up the Starrs and immediately the pistol was fired, but I cannot say who fired it, -.;•, ;*.<.

Cross-examined.—The man was lying on the ground on his side, on his face; saw the person brought back, but cannot snyir he was the ono who fired tho pistol.

William Smith, aged hi, examined by the District At-torntjr.—Livo'Jht No. 10-1 Hester-street; heard of a man being killed ntHliccomer,of.Orange and Chatham-streets; ibot! morning I found a pistol on the corner of Pearl nnd Chatham; itwas lying near a - hydrnnt; it wos unloaded; hud a cap on, but it had been fired off; I gave the pistol to the Coroner, nnd it is the same now produced; it was on the side-walk when I found it, near n gutter.

John T. *h~arny cxanmicd by District Attorney,—I belong to tho Sixth Ward Police ami was in Chatham-street on llie night of this occurrence; I heard the report of a pistol between 1 and 2 o'clock; saw the prisoner run from the direction of. Orange-sircet and pursued him, .caught him in, Pcarl-sercct; he had a drab coat on his arm ; I asked him where ho was going; ho said he was out on a bit of a spree and was going to an alarm of fire, ' Hy the Covrt.—Saw three men on tho sidewalk and asked if they had fired a pistol, they said ''No," but pointed to tho prisoner, who was running; I asked him to go back withiiioto see that it was all right, and he consented; the peoplo there said he was the man, but the prisoner said he thought they must be mistaken; I then look him to the Stntion House with officer Riker; Bcekman was brought there dead.

Hy the Court.—Ho must have passed the spot. The witness was giving the substance or a conversa

tion he hud with iho prisoner; but the counsel for tho defence objecting, it was not pressed.

Gnfihoy was under the influence of liquor. John S. Riker, of the Seventh Ward Police,—Wns on

duty on the night of this occurrence ; saw the prisoner run, nnd there wras another, officer ahead: went to tho cellar, and was there when he was brought in to Ric-kott's cellar; took thcldecensed to the Hospital, but he died on tho way, and I took him to the- Station-house ; tho deceased askedme if Mulvey was taken, and I said yes, lie was locked up.

. Cross-examined—Jafincy was a sober man that night but ho knew what ho was about. I think Ricketts had-drank something; tho Doctor was a sober man, and tho officers wcro sober; in fact none of them wore drunk; (he prisoner was as sober as any one iit the house, \ The District Attorney here said ho rested his case and the Court asked if cither of the other two persons who were with tho prisoner that night were to be produced.— .-The'District Attorney said they were not on his list of witnesses; ;rf i Mr. Phillips opened the case for tho prisoner and said thai ho should prove that ho was a well-behaved young limn—the sole stay of a widowed mother, whom he had supported fori nine, years. Ho was honest, well-behaved, and a member of thb Fire Department; forbearing; "ofa kind disposition, and supporting himself nnd mother by.his daily labor. He was thereat the cellar without knowing the persons he had gone in with ; had his hand

-bnndoged, rind was subjected toviolent treatment nt the hands of the bar-keeper; and it was whilst laboring under this excitement that ho llred the pistol, but without the intentm?. to lake the life of any one. -

BROOKLYN. SERIOUS ACCIDKNT O.V TUB LOXCJ ISLA.VD UAII.-

noiD.—Yesterday morning, nbout 2 o'clock, officers Ai-bcrtis, ofthe First, and Queen, ofthe Third District, found n man, about 40 years of age, on the Railroad track, just inside tho Tumid, in Atlantic-street, with both legs nearly severed, just nlmvc the knees. He stated that his name was Michael Oerren, and having been but a shorL time in this c o u n t r y , ^ lost on Sunday night, and wandered into the Tunnel, when a freight train came along and passed over him. The officers promptly attended to his case, and carried him to the City Hall, and thence he was removed to the Hospital,'when the surgeons advised that no amputation should take place, as his lu'o could not be saved by it. Tiie unfortunate man formerly lived at Sis-Mile Bridge, in Ireland, and has- in this cily a wife nnd three children, living in the house with Owen McGowen, corner of Smith and Dcan-strects. When he was brought to the Cily Hall, a glass of brandy was offered him, mu he refused to take it, saying he never used strong drink.

A N O T H E R • lNCENr>i.tny A T T E M P T . — S u n d a y night about 75 oVlock, afire was discovered in the celler beneath Mr. John Wlilns'is Shoe Store, No. 135 Myrtle-avenue. An alarm was given and the (ire extinguished without any great loss.

It appears that Mr. White uses the celler for iho purpose of storing boxes, &c , and at the lirnc o( the lire himself and family were absent, and only a servant girl about the premises, and some villain took this opportunity to carry out his nefarious designs; he had piled in the celler some empty boxes, straw and shavings, and set lire to tliem, but tiio timely discovery prevented a conflagration,

Loxc ISLAND RAILROAD COMPANV P.?. THB COMMON COUSCIL'OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN.—It will be remembered that, several weeks since, Judge Edmonds of New-York granted nn injunction, restraining the authority of the city of Brooklyn from enforcing an ordinance, passed by|the Common Council, prohibiting the Long Island Railroad Company from using steam-power in drawing or propelling their i cars within tho city limits; since which a motion was made by J. M. Van Colt, Esq., (Corporation counsel,) to dissolve said injunction. The motion was argued before Judge Bar-culo, in the Circuit Court, in the city of Brooklyn, and yesterday an order was received from his Honor, who is nt present in Foughkccpsic, dissolving the injunction.

« CONTINENTALS VISITING THE CAPITAL.—The

Washington Life Guard, Capt. Sharpe, and the Putnam Continental Guard, Capt. Morgan, left the City yesterday, on a visit to their military friends at Albany. They numbered about 60 musketB, and were accompanied by the Empire BanuV: Previous to their departure the Life Guard were presented with a magnificent wreath by Mrs. Stevens, of Dufiicld-street, and afterwards dined at Gould's, Fulton-street, N.Y. Among the guests who accompanied the battalion we noticed Lieut. Col. Bur-bank, of the Mtli Regiment; Lieut. Col. Hall, Major Tcale, and Lieut. Frank H.Dikeman, ofthe 13th ; Major Powell, of the City Armory, and Aid. Leech of the Fifth Ward, They took passage in the Manhattan, and will return on Thursday morning.

The whole business is managed with the strictest economy; its investments are judiciously made; and the Trustees have not fallen into the old fashioned way of holding out large inducements, but have been moderate, and represented only as a probability that they would be able to pay five, per cent, yet from present appearances they will be able to declare a larger dividend.

Tl ic Uni ted S ta tes Mail S teamer Washington, Capt. G E O R G E "W. F I . O V D , arrived yesterday afternoon at 11; o'cluck. She left Bremen on the 5th, and Southampton on the 10th hist, at 5 o'clock P. M., thus making the passage in twelve days and eighteen hours.

Among her passengers, of whom a full list will be found in another-column, are Capt. B R O W N , with the remaining officers and crew of the yacht America.

We are indebted to Mr. ABRAHAM ADAMS, clerk of the Waghington, for the early delivery of English papers .

The Washington brought out a valuable cargo, and 180 passengers ; there were a great number of applications for additional berths, but they could not be furnished.

The British steamer Africa reached Liverpool on the 6th, having made the passage in ten days and six hours. The Baltic arrived on the 9th, after a voyage of ten days.

Several disastrous shipwrecks are reported by this mail. The screw steamship Apollo was wrecked on tho south-east coast of England during her passage from London to Rotterdam, on the 6th inst. Several merchant vessels were also lost chirm" a severe gale of wind, which occurred on the 7th and 8th inst. The Americansltip Montreal, with a cargo of iron, from Gottcnberg, bound to Boston, went ashore during the gale near Dungcncss, but was subsequently towed off and taken into Portsmouth to repair.

The London Times, of the 9th inst., contains a document. It is a document addressed to that paper , by Senor Don Xavicr de Isturix, the Spanish Minister in London, which purports to be a succinct account of the occurrences in Cuba, up to the execution, at Havana, of the fifty-two American citizens on the 16th of August. The document denies, most explicitly and ollicially, the statements of the American newspapers relative to the mutilation of the bodies, gives an account of the military operations following the landing of General Lopex, defends the procedure of the Captain General of Cuba , and points out the past and prospective policy of the Spanish Government in refevorfee to Cuban affairs. There is nothing in the article which would be new .to our readers, as the same details have since been published here. The Times has an article commenting upon it which will be found below.

The steamship Euxine, Captain E V A N S , arrived at Southampton on the Cth inst., from the Levant, bringing news that the United States frigate Mississippi ran on shore during the night of the 21st of August, on the point off St James's Castle, Smyrna Bay, and would have to lighten considerably before she could be got off.

The U. S. frigate Independence arrived at Gib-ralter on the 31st August.

tion to the 17th Sept., 1850, has been received in England, in a letter addressed to the Admiralty. It is transmitted by the master of the burk True Love. The person's whose graves are mentioned belonged to Franklin's crew;

"DAVIS 'S STRAITS, Thursday, July 21,1831. " MY LORDS : May it please your Lordships to receive

at my hands the inclosed testimony, received on the 12th of July, of the American searching vessels, of the account of their voyage in search of Sir John Franklin. On the 13th of September, 1850, they left all the searching vessels at Cape Martyrs, Cornwallis Island, they not being enabled to pursue any further westward direction i'rom that date. A harbor called the Assistant Harbor, discovered by Capt. Ommanncy, three miles south of Capo Martyrs, was the place in selection by them to "winter in. The bay ice was forming v c y strong at that time, yet the Advance and Rescue were determined to proceed homeward; but, unfortunately, however, a gale isprangup and drove thom*up Wellington Channel 50 miles, and afterward they were frozen in. The American Captain De Haven told me that tho winter was very mild, and that ho can give no further particulars respecting Sir John Franklin than tho inclosed account. He said he was determined to go to tho seat of search again, after having wintered; and all the documents received from the Admiralty and others I gave to him.

MEMORANDA. " I.' On tho 2Gth of August, 1850, traces wcro found to

northward of Port Innis, Wellington Channel, confirming those previously found at Cape Riley by Captain Ommanney. These consisted of fragments of clothing, preserved meat, tins and scraps of paper, one of those bearing the name of M'Donald, medical ollicer in the expedition."

2. On the 27th, Capt. Penny's parties reported graves. These were at once visited by Captain De Haven, Mr. Fenny and Dr. Kane. They bore respectively the names of W. Braine, R. M., and John Hartnell, of the Erebus, and John Torrington, of the Terror, the date of the latest death being the 3d of April, 1840. Added to these sad but unmistakable evidences were the remains of the observatory, carpenter's shop and armorer's forge. Upon the hill-sldc and beach were fragments of wood, metal and clothing, with stacks of empty meat tins. Everything indicated permanency and organization. There can be no doubt that the cove between Cope Riley and Dcechy Island, facing L-J.ncastor Sound, was the tirst winter station of tho missing vessels. On the 31st of September, the impervious ice of the Wellington Channel underwent a complete disruption, and by the fith, several vessels penetrated to the

' Cornwallis side. Such, however, was the impenetrable character of the pack in Lancaster Sound that, by the

. Mtli of September, the entire searching squadron were again concentrated about eight miles south of Griffith's Island. This was the farthest wosting attained by the

'• American expedition. The latest dates from Couituo-- Core Austin arc of the 13th of September.

They were then in momentary expectation of making •winter quarters, and it is probable that a small harbor, discovered by Capt. Ommannoy, about three miles cast of Cape Martyrs, will be the haven selected. Thence the American vessels, while proceeding homeward, wero frozen in opposite Wellington Channel, drifting during the ensuing winter from a latitude of 75° 25' throughout the channel and.sound to Baffin's Bay.

Their liberation, after much exposure and trial, took place on the 10th of June, 1851, at a point south of Cape \v„i«,,,plmn, OS" an_n .,.:., d 8 '50 VVnlsinghnm 05° 30'~a linear drift milee. Tho commotion cf the ice with its attendant uncertainty was their chier source of trial. Every officer and man had marked scorbutic discuse, but no deaths have occurred. The crews are now refreshed, and tho expedition is endeavoring to regain the scat of scurch

I havc,,&c B. K. KANE, Surgeon to the Expedition."

The London News of the 10th inst. gives great importance to these notes, and says•

'•The intelligence of traces of Sir John Franklin and his companions has been scanned with eagerness by tho •veteran Arctic cxplorers,',now reposing on their laurels at Woolwich, and many of them are sanguine in the expectation that they may yet have tho pleasure of welcoming at least the surviving portion of tho noble crews who left Woolwich in May, 1845, with tho Erebus and 7'er-TOT. It may be interesting to know that the Royal Marine whose grave was found was Sergeant William Braine of the Woolwich division, who volunteered to proceed to tho Arctic regions with tho Exploring party, although he had only recently returned from service in China?' .

The Royal West India Mail Steamer Dee, arrived at Southampton on the !)th Sept;, from the Spanish main and Gulf of Mexico. Sho had on freight, specie to tho amonnt of $>1 ,994,000; of which, $315,211 wcro from California.

Messrs. Mare & Co., of Dlackwall, have-received orders from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., to build the largest steamship in the world. She is to bo 325 feet long, propelled by four engines of 1200 horse power, and will be 51 feet longer than tlw Great Britain, and upwards of 3000 tons burden.

This monster ship is to be tho first of a series of vessels about to be built to run between Southampton ana Egypt, with the East India and China mails, and in guaranteed to perform tho voyage to Alexandria, a distance «f 3100 miles frora Southampton, in jess tuna 9 days

T h e Grea t E x h i b i t i o n , With icfercncc to the lock controversy, wo are

glad to hear that Messrs. Bramah intend raising no captious objections as to the award of the arbitrators, having determined to pay Mr. Hebbs the 200 guineas re-ivard offered by them. We hear that-the lock exhibited by Mr. Ilobhs is itself to be immediately tested by an English mechanic.

With reference to the removal of goods from the Exhibition when it eloses, it has been determined to leave exhibitors ulniost entirely to themselves in that matter. Each must look after his own property, and get it removed as speedily as; possible. The two blank days intervening between Saturday the 10th and Wednesday the 15th of October, will be devoted to the clearing of space for packing operations by the removal of carriages and such like bulky objects. During that quiet interval, also, jewelers and silversmiths will be allowed to take away the valuable objects contributed by them.

While the arrangements connected, with the close of the building and the dispesson of its contents are under final considsration, Sweden is sending to Hydo Park a considerable augmentation of her productions ; among them is a stupendous vase of polished granite, and a remarkable cannon, which is said to be intended for loading at the breech. There arc also some fine specimens of furs, and some gilt chandeliers which yieid to nothing of the kind in the Exhibition for simplicity and elegance of design.

T h e Cuban Quest ion. From The London Tiinei, Sept. 9.

We give the present Administration of tho United States credit for a sincere desire to repress the lawless disposition manifested in some parts of the South for the invasion and acquisition of Cuba, and to avoid consequences which might prove extremely serious to the general peace, to the stability of the Union, and to the Whig party in America. On every account Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster have the strongest interest m resisting a movement which can only plunge the American Government into complicated embarrassments at home and abroad ; for they must be perfectly aware that if they fail in maintaining tho more moderate and conscientious principles of their own party on this occasion, the annexation of Cuba would become an incident in a chain of events all tending to excite the worst passions of the community they uro expected to govern. 1 no Lopez expedition has been fostered by the slave States of the South, and it is, as we have been informed by a credible witness, Mr. Ashbcl Smith, of Texas, mainly designed to pcrpctunto slavery in the Queen of the Antilles, under the banner of the Republican Confederation. It is a fresh display of the same popular ambition which annexed Texas and invaded Mexico, and which tho Democratic party has found it convenient to flatter and encourage both in and out ofolHce. It leads ill all probability to hostilities with Spain, and possibly with some other States ; and although the immense majority of the people of" America have nothing to gain and everything to lose by war, yet such is the reckless and braggart spirit of a portion of the nation, that a turbulent minority may succeed, by continued agitation, ill defeating the more sober maxims of a pacific policy. The extent te which American capital bus already penetrated into Cuba, tli' proximity of that island to the shores of the United States, and, most of all, the presumed weakness of Spain, are powerful inducements to the renewal of an enterprise in which the natural advantages are all on the side of the assailant. Moreover, in a naval point of view, the possession of the port of Havanna by the Americans would be an occurrence of first-rate importance. It would be to the Gulf of Mexico what Gibraltcr is to the Mediterranean. It would place underthcir guns the vast line of traffic which more and more connects the Eastern and the Western Oceans; it would leave almost at their mercy the Islands and Colonics of European States, which would speedily become fresh objects of their ambition ; and, in a word, it would Rive them at one stroke the means of,suprcmacy in the West Indies, where they have as yet only planted some of their commercial undertakings.

It is impossible that a line of policy which involves some of the most important territorial considerations on the face of the globe to all maritime nations, and especially to ourselves, can have failed to attract the most serious audition of Her Majesty's government; and, on the other ham'i, the American Cabinet must be aware that if the United States were drawn along this course by a popular impulse, they would inevitably come into collision with the rights and interests of some of the most powerful States in the world. The French Government has long perceived the extreme importance of the subject, both as regards the resources of Spain and the navigation of the Western seas ; accordingly the French squadron in the West Indies has been reinforced, and instructions have been forwarded to the officers in command to assist the Spanish authorities by all the means in their power in repelling the attack of nr.y party of American or other adventurers. As far, however, as this country is concerned, whose interests are so much more nearly atfected by the danger impending over Cuba, it has not transpired that any distinct measures have been taken, and no doubt tho apparent indifference of the British authorities to the result has contributed to embolden those who engaged in the enterprise.

This indifference—if such it has appeared to be—it is high time to shake off; for the occurrence of these predatory expeditions, the chance of more serious hostilities, and the possibility of their success in Cuba, are all matters of serious injury to ourselves. All civilized nations have a common interest in repressing a wanton spirit of invusion, which holds sacred no territorial rights and no public engagements: but how much more ore we interested in the defense of these rights when our own territories arc the next to be assailed! If tho resistance to these attempts is uncertain or feeble, they are continually encouraged, and they will bo continually repeated.

[The Times goes on to point out the course which ought to be taken by the British government in view of the Cuban question, and indicates that it is the duty of England to dispatch a naval force to Havana cither with or without the cooperation of France, in order to check these pedatory expeditions, and to support the government of the United States, to the fullest extent, in its laudable efforts to fulfil its duties to a friendly power.]

T h e E x e c u t i o n o f Col. Cr i t tenden a t H a v a n a . From The London Times, Sept. 8.

The severe punishment inflicted by the Spanish authorities at Havana upon the first fifty prisoners who fell into their hands, from the second piratical expedition of General Lopez and his band against the island of Cuba, appears to us to be justified by the facts of this extraordinary case; but it is impossible not to deplore the misdirected bravery of men who have thus forced upon a friendly Government an act of Indiscriirilnntiirig slaughter. The peace of tho world, and the maintenance of tho fundamental rights of all States, positively require that it should not be in the power of a gang'of bucanccrs to invade a foreign territory, to let loose all tho horrors of fire and sword and negro insurrection, In a nourishing colony, and to prostitute the fair names of liberty and independence to the crimes of rapine and bloodshed.— Against that heinous offense the laws of notions and the necessity of the case provide but one remedy, and one effectual mode of repression. Men who deliberately embark in such enterprises arc, by the consent or all nations, placed beyond the protection of the law. They are enemies of the human race ; they transgress, at one and the same time, the laws or their own country, which prohibit and condemn such conspiracies, and the rights of the country they wantonly and desperately invade. They deserve the terrible Talc they have encountered as much as the burglar who is shot in attempting to break into a house. In this particular instance, every species of warning had been given them. This attack was a repetition or one which had miscarried but a rew months ogo, when the Spaniards behaved with a lenity that surprised us, and actually surrendered the persons whom they had captured, intimating only that on the next occurrence or a similar nature they should exact the whole penalty or the law. The American Government had likewise taken care to disclaim all interest in men who could disgrace the flag of their country by an open violation of its laws; and accordingly the United States Consul at Havana abstained from any attempt to impede the strict execution of military justice. These men were taken with arms in their hands in the waters of Cuba. They appear to have formod part of the marauding force in the Pampero, which had effected a landing under General Lopoz at Bahia Honda; but, 'for some reason not clearly explained, they recmbarked in four boats or launches, which were pursued and capturad on the 15th August by the Spanish steamcr-of-war Havailerd, commanded by Admiral Bustillos. Being brought Into the port of Havanna in the night, they were shot before the Castle of Atares the next morning at 11 o'clock, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators, who appear, by all accounts, to have loudly applauded the justice of the [sentence, and even, as is stated by the American prints, to have treated the innnlmate remains of these misguided men with ferocity and insult. This last circumstance may very likely have been'added to color tho appeals to popular vengeance current in New-Orleans; for the Americans seem to think that, as they cannot deny the justice of the sentence, they may impugn tho mode of execution.

The more important part of this question i3, however, the effect produced'by it in the United States and upon the relations of that Power with Spain. The immense majority of the people of tho United States must acknowledge with ourselves that, upon sueh repeated provocation and aggression, Spain had no other course to pursue; and we have not yet learnt to think so ill of our descendants in the New World as to suppose that they will identify themselves from mere vindictive feelings, with one of the grossest outrages that could bo inflicted on a foreign State. It is well for humanity when great principles can be maintained by the sole respect lind authority due to the law ; but if those cenditions are violated the law cannot remain suspended or unarmed. men emoarked In this Cuban expedition from a vague ?„,„?„'„„a t 'hey should escape the chances or war and rl1°J^eawly as they ballled tho polite or tho Federal

O u r advices from the F r e n c h Capi ta! are devoid of any intelligence of striking interest. The Fari slan papers are principally occupied with a discussion of the conclusions arrived at by tho various Councils General, in reference to the movements for tho revision of tho Constitution, and with the subject of the probable candidature of the Princede Joinville for the Presidential Election. The French Securites are rather firmer. Tho commercial accounts are pretty favorable. The retail business continues to iluurish, and in several branches of industry, such as jewelry, cabinet work, &c, largo foreign orders had been received. In some of the manufacturing departments business was active, while in tha cotton and woollen districts the factories i <re in full operation. The price of flour in the Paris market continues lo fall. The wheat crop is generally inferior in quantity, but far superior in quality to that of 1850. ','ho potato disease has made its appearance with more or less intensity in most of the departments. The accounts of the wine crop are unfavorable.

The Correspondent of The London Times gives the following summary of the rccentjaction of the Councils General:

"Now that the 'w i shes ' or resolutions of rhc whole of the Councils-Ceucral of France (excepting two) with reference to the revision of tho Constitution are known, it may not be uninteresting ro present an analysis of these resolutions. The Councils-General are in number 80 ; but the department of the Seine not having elected its Council since the revolution of February, one is lo be deducted. The results of the resolutions of tho 84 Councils may be resumed thus; 49 Councils have, purely and simply, expressed the wish for the revision of the Constitution in conlbrmity with the I l l th article.

" Six Councils have demanded the revision ' within the ijiortest possible period.'

•' Seventeen have repeated the resolution they adopted laBt year ' for the pure and simple revision of the Consti union.'

" T w o have rejected the proposition. " Three have declined adopting resolutions of a politi

cal character. " Six have demanded the repeal of the 45th Article,

with the object of rendering thu President of the Repub lie reellgiblo.

"One only,.the Vaurluse, demanded the revision of the Constitution ' With the view ot consolidating Republican institutions.' Of the two remaining Councils not included in this list, that of the Card may reject the proposition, and that of the Seine, which will probably meet towards the end of the month, adopt it.

" T he questions of the elections has been also the abject of edliberation in the Councils. Six resolved In favor of their taking place within the shortest possible period ; three that a long period should be allowed bo-t ween the elections for the Assembly and the President ; one, that they should be postponed as long as possible; three recommended the beginning of the next year for the elections of the Assembly ; and four decided that the Assembly shall be allowed to determine the proper period.

" The maintenance of the Ktectoral Law of tho 31st May was demanded by four Councils.

" Thirteen Councils' rejected propositions in favor of the repeal of the law.

" Eight adopted a resolution in favorjor the modification of the law."

The Constitutional states that a letter has been seized by the police, in the office of the journal La Yoixdti Proseril, addressed by a person named Marchaisto M.LedruHol-lin, containing a deimmd for 2,000f. " for the purpose of supporting that gentleman's pretensions to the olllcc of President of the Republic, and to carry on the propagand-ism."

The Courrier de la Drome of the 4th contains an account of fresh disturbances in the department of the Ar-deche. On the31st ult., 60 infantry soldiers were sunt to Vinezae by the sub-jircteet of Lnrgentiere to enforce the order of the prefect against the holding of tho fete of that place. The day passed quietly, but in the evening groups assembled, and the soldiers dispersed them. Immediately the groups formed again, and a shower of stones was thrown, many of them Inflicting serious injuries on the armed force. Orders were then given to the soldiers in adMince to fire, and ten muskets were discharged, but it is not known with what result, the night being dark. The mob having fled, the soldiers pursued and arrested six men, who were sent tinder escort to Lurgciitlero. On the following day tho sub-prefect and the Prncurcur of the Republic urrived at Vinezae with a reinforcement, and found that the fete was going on, by the express permission of the mayor, who is a great Socialist. Several arrests were made, including the mayor himself. In the course of tho day several domiciliary visits took place, und led to the seizure of arms, ammunition, and incendiary publications.

AUSTRIA, From The London'Times.

PABIS, Friday, Sept. 4. I tum from French politics to the circular of

Prince Schwarzenlmrg to the accredited agents of the Austrian Government in foreign courts. When 1 mentioned In my letter of t i e 20th ult., the fact of the approaching return or Prince Mcttcrnich to Vienna, whither he was invited by the young Emperor, Joseph Francis, and by the Council: of Ministers, I considered that such an event was connected with the projects of Important modifications in the political system of Austria. I was not deceived in my conjecture. Not long after that letter was written we received here by telegraph tho news of the Emperor having adopted two Important measures; one oriiani?ing the Councils of the Empire, and making the Ciibinet responsible to tho Crown; and the other calling In question tho very existence of the Con-siitution of March 1,1849. I have already stated that those acts or sovereignty were communicated in a circular despatch by Prince St: awarzenburg lo the chiefs of tho diplomatic missions iff Ausiria in foreign countries. That circular, commenti ng on and explaining tho nature of the measures adopted, bears date the 20th of August. The President or the Cuuneil, while giving these explanations, pretests against al idea of re-action on tho part of the Emperor and his Covcrnment. He admits the necessity of many modifications in the political, administrative, and finoncial system of Austria; of the suppression of several privileges udmiticd as unjust; and or recognizing the legitimate character or certain material Interests or recent origin. Tho circular, which, by the way, corroborates what 1 have already said as to the influence of Prince Mcttcrnich, has, I have some reason to believe, not yet reached all the parties to whom it is addressed. Nevertheless, I am enabled to present a brief summary of its contents, sufficient to give you an idea of a document which will, JO doubt, be made public, and which will complete the series of Stato papers already known to the world.

"Pr ince Schworzcnburg begins by reminding hlo diplomatic agents of the situation of the empire during the first months of the year 1849. At that poriod ho shows thut the revolution was everywhere; that, after having broken forth suddenly at Vienna, it extended to the kingdom of Hungary, and to Lombardy j and that situation, perilous as it was, was still more aggravated by complications which had i.risen in the other States of Germany. The idea which then predominated was, to reconstruct the unity and indivisibility of the empire, together with the authority of the throne. It was eau-sidercd that a unitivc constitution might realize such an idea, and the Emperor therefore gave his charter of tho 4th of March. That charter was copied from all foreign constitutions of recent creation. It soon beeame evident, continues the Prince, that tho execution of a charter drawn up under such circumstances was impossible j its impossibility was more forcibly proved as order became reestablished in the monarchy, and any attempt to execute it would expose the empire to the greatest danger. Tho Prince denies that the Emperor ever pledged himself to maintain tho strict letter of that constitution which he had spontaneously given, and in virtue of his imperial authority, and to which he had never sworn. His ordinance of the 4th of March must, therefore, bo classed among thoso measures which the Sovereign adopts, but may modify or repeal, according to his convictions. Tho Emperor owes no account but to the Almighty alone of his conscience, or of the measures his conscience suggests to him. His Imperial Majesty is decided in putting an end to the uncertainty of his people by terminating tho fiction created by the ordinance of the 4th of March; and this duty the Emperor has performed by his ordinances of the 20th of August last.

" Tho circular further explains the signification of Ministerial responsibility, such as it has bee a established by the Emperor, and endeavors to show why the institutions or Austria ought to be regulated by the Emperor only. Prince Schwarzenburg declares that it would be a grievous error to suppose that these measures arc dictated in a spirit of re-action on tho part of His Imperial Majesty; that .His Majesty is far from wishing to establish a system which is not strictly legal; neither privileges, nor exemptions, norexceptlonal conditions in favor of any one, are meant to be restored : nor is there tho slightest intention of disturbingwhatevermaterial interests may have been created since the year 1848.

„ The pacific state of the capital on the promulgation of tho ordinances of the 20th ult., is insisted on ; the belief is expressed Unit these measures will not meet

with resistance or disapproval, and that the popularity of the Emperor will not Buffer. It is urged that a spirit of re-action has been very generally manifested in the Austrian empire and its numerous possessions, where, it is added, the charter of the 4th or March has but few partisans ; that it has not been regarded as producing any real progress, but, on the contrary, as a blow aimed at the various nationalities that form the empire, which wish to rally under tho authority of the Emperor, but on the condition of preserving their individual character. That was not effected by the charter of 1849, tho preamble of which was particularly insulting to Hungary.

" Such is a summary of the circularof Prince Schwarzenburg.

" The departure of Prince Metternich for Vienna, has been delayed some dayn. He will not leave his chateau of Johannisberg before the 12th inst., and will not arrive at Vienna before the 20th or 25th. The Emperor intending to be present at the grand manceuvtes at Verona, to be executed by the troops under the command of Marshal Radetsky, the Prince prefers waiting for his Majesty's return. It is believed that the King of Wurtemburg will also proceed to Verona to meet the young Emperor."

TLTRKEY. According to t h e cor respondence of The Mar

seilles Semaphore, the question relative to the Hungarian refugees then staying at Kutahia was at length settled. The Sultan had resolved to put au end to an unjust confinement, calculated only to compromise the character of his Government. The American steam fVigate Mississippi, placed by tho President of the United States at the disposal of Kossuth, was to repair from Smyrna to the Dardanelles on the 1st inst., to await their arrival. On she same day the refugees would quit Kutahia, and cmbirk at Jcumclk in a Turkish steamer for the Dardanelles Kossuth was to be accompanied by M. Lemmi, (ITURCUU, his private secretary ; by Generals Perczel and Wisoaky, and Count Batihiauy, with their families, and 20 other superior ollicers. The frigate will convey these personages to America, stopping a few days in England.

.The London Daily yaes states, that owingto'thcjmis-hnp which occurred to the Mississippi, the Hungarian patriots would!be] conveyedj to Southampton in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Tagus, and from that port they would embark for the United States.]

Letters from Smyrna of the 27th ult. state that the neighborhood continued to be infested by banditti. Pirate boats had just landed 40 Greeks of Roumelia on thu side of Phocaia, who immediately proceeded to the mountains. There they attacked and plundered two native tribes, and carried oil' 15 men prisoners. The Governor of Magnesia scut 200 cavalry in pursuit of them, who, however, were unable to overtake ifcin. A few days before an attempt was made to carry off to the mountains a member of the consular body, M. de .lough, Consul-General of Denmark, and M. Van Lessen, brother of the Consul of Holland. The latter offered an energetic resistance, and several pistol shots having been fired, the soldiers of n neighboring post came to their relief, and the malefactors took to flight. The town of Mitjlene had been almost entirely destroyed by fire.— The damage was estimated at between 30 and 40 millions of piastres.

The marriage of the son of Rescind Pasha with the daughter of the Sultan has been definitively arranged.

Some changes have been effected in the Ottoman Cabinet. The Capitan Pasha, Soliman Pasha, had been replaced by Meheinct AH, brother-in-law of the Sultan, and former Minister of War. The Minister of Finance-had been also superseded in his post by Hatiz Pasha, and the Ministry of the Wakoufs—that is, the administration of the property of the mosques—was given to Hull Ef-feudi. The bad management of the finances was supposed to have becti the cause or this new modification or the Cabinet. The scarcity or money was such that the Ottoman fleet, which was to have sailed a fortnight before, had been detained in port from a total want of funds. It was Imped, however, that it would put to sea in a few days. Its destination was not kuow.;i, Some said that it would proceed to Alexandria, and others that it would cruise in the Archipelago, off Salonica, to chase the piratesi. The fleet consisted of six ships of the line, eight frigates and four steamers.

N A P L E S . The Naples Gazette conta ins tho following

official paragraph in regard to the pamphlet of Mr. GLADSTONE and the remarks made on the subject in the British Parliament:

If Her Majesty the Queen of England, at the prorogation of Parliament, had not assured both Houses of the amicable relations that subsisted between her and her foreign allies, the answer given by her Minister, Lord Palmerston, in the sitting of the 8th, to a question put by Sir De Lacy Evans on the state of this country, would have made us doubt whether in reality our Sovereign and this kingdom enjoyed amiciblc relations with the Government of Great Britain. And in truth if the noble lord accepts as facts the false, alsurd, and ridiculous stories collected, a8 may be said, by Mr. Gladstone, in prisons and among galley slaves, as detailed in his letter to Lord Aberdeen—if, we say, he has given such faitli to that correspondence as to support by his Ministerial language expressions calculated to excite against our Government the detestation of the human race, what other opinion can we form! We should add to this bin declaration of sending, against all diplomatic usages and international rights, copies of the said correspondence to the British Legations near foreign Courts, to render still more prominent the charges thus made dishonoring our country, as if these Courts had not ambassadors and ministers of their own, whose duty ii would be to report all that passed, and whose conscientious labors should spare others the fatigue of performing their duty. While we cannot conceal ear astonishment and surprise at the unqualified and unexpected aspersions made by a member of Parliament of a friendly power, the amity of that power being most dear to us ; while we arc desirous of discharging from the minds of good men the fears and terrors inspired) by these publications, which the implacable enemies of social order aro ever forward in fomenting ; while, thanks to the wise execution of our good laws and the impartiality of our enlightened justice, the Government is only occupied in consolidating tho peace whose fruits the country so fully enjoys : while its constant care, directed to the punishment of tho guilty, has been crowned with invariable success; let us hepe that the noble lord, rrom the bottom of his heart detesting everything that can oppose itself in the slightest way to such a praiseworthy object, will, of his own free will and the same solicitude, rorward to all his Legations copies of the pamphlet that shall be sent him—a pamphlet by which the calumnious diatriben of Mr. Gladstone aro contradicted and victoriously demonstrated to be unfounded by authentic documents and by tho record* taken from the archives of our lew, so that his agents, being advised by the truth, will abstain from practices that arc at all times reprehensible when lor truth falsehood is substituted."

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday, Sept. Dili, 1851.

The General Screw StcsmShippinyCompany's steamship Hellespont, Capt. William Watts, arrived here about mid-day. Her accounts of the state of affairs on the frontier aro far from satisfactory.

Sir Harry Smith appears to have made no movement of consequenco during the previous month, while tho Caffrcs and Hottentots are spreading themselvesthrough tho eastern provinces, and penetrating settlements previously considered secure from danger. Just previous to the departure of the steamer, news reached the Cape of an attack upon some English, between Fort Beaufort and Graham's Town, when flic were killed by the rebei Hottentots. Strong patrols were sent out immediately, but with what success is not known. It appears that while Sir Harry Smith has been cheeking the enemy on the frontier, the Caffrcs and Hottentots have been invading and pillaging the interior.

Major Warden has been defeated in the' Soverignty; It e Caffrcs aro within five miles of Uitcnhage, and the war, consequently, in the heart of the colony.

About the 20th of July, on the return of a patrol under Colonel Michell, from Kiesknmma, they were unsuccessfully attacked by Scyolo, who stated that as he had lost hiB country and cattle, he did not desire peace. The news ffom Kreli is pacific, and he professes to have discovered his error. Sanuilli is said to be dejected, and to be contemplating removal beyond the Kye. Puto continues attached to British Interests. '

No further supply of troops had reached the Cape subsequent to the arrival or the Vulcan, but the Government despatches, rorwarded by the Hellespont, wcro sent to tho frontier by Her Majesty's steamer Hermes, which was provided with sufficient ruel to go to the Mauritius, whero there are spare troops.

_ . , , . , , LIVERPOOL, Tuesday, Sept. 9. The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise durrag the past

week have been small. From foreign ports wo have only received 5,9t'3 quarters of WHEAT, 1,050 quarters of OATS, 1,400 quarters of BE^NH, 2,914 quarters of INDIAN CORN, 538 sacks and 12,740 barrels of FLOUR.

The exports in the same time have been larger than for some timo past, and comprise 2,1116 quarter of WHEAT, 351 quarters of BEAMS,2,672quarters oflNDIAN C0RN,l,512sacks and 11,677 barrels of i'LOUR.

There has been a Mr amount of business doing during the week.past in low qualities of American FLOUR, but forother articles the demand has been languid, and last Friday's prices barely maintained. •

The weather has been cold, but otherwise favorablo for harvest operations.

At this day's market there was a good attendance of town and country buyers, whose attention was directed to American white WHEATS, which have of late been ottering at very low prices, and of which they bought to a fair extent at tho rates of this day week; red and inferior WHEATS are offered at low prices with little effect. Some small parcels of new Irish were sold at from 4s. 3d. to is. 3d. rer 70 lbs., the quality generally damp aisd inferior. , .

American FLOUR was not much pressed fur sale, andpnme qualities brought rather better prices. Frer.cli 1' LOUR was without change; first-rate marks are new diuictut to meei with.

Nc v OATS wcio rather dearer, being scarce, and 2s. 6d. S 45 lb. was pnid for tawny; no change in old.

New OATMEAL, being moie plentiful, was rather cheaper, 2Cs. Oil. f 210 lb. being the extreme value of the best qualities.

BARLEY and PEAS in moderate request at late rates, but BEANS wero difficult to sell, except at <t reduction.

INDIAN CORN was quite neglected, at 6d. ?l quarter lower, best yellow being f recly offered at 26s. to 26s. (id. S quarter.

There was a good doEiand for COTTON at Liverpool, and the sales on the 11th inst. amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for speculation and export; prices were unchanged, but buyers hail less choice. On tho 9th the sales were 10,000 bales, at prices partially one-eighth of a penny higher.

TOPIC!? OF THE DAY. — » — TUESDAY, Sept. 23.

The Courier ami Enquirer comments on tho conduct of Mr. ALLEN F. OWEN, the American Consul at Havana, in regard to the American prisoners there. It seems to be proved that he did not visit them at a l l ; that he, in fact, did nothing whatever to alleviate their distress or secure for them merciful consideration on the part cfthe government. The Courier says that man in affliction, whatcve:: may have been his misdeeds, always has a claim upon compassion and friendly assistance. And even if the Cuben invaders had been the worst vagabonds in exisistence, they would still have been entitled to the friendly offices of the American Consul. But, says The Courier:

"The men wlio went upon this expedition were mostly animated by noble motives, and many of them were ns truly high-minded and chivalrous as can be found anywhere. They w;re deceived, wretchedly deceived ; but apart from the great fatal mistake of rushing, in &pite of national obligations, to tho uid of the people ready, as they believed, to rise against accursed oppression, they did nothing to bring dishonor upon the American name. They abstained from plunder, they fought with courage, they treated their prisoners with great humanity, they bore the most terrible privations and sufferings without a murmur. The lllty who were shot, met death with the most heroic firmness. Surely such men could not have lorfeitcd all claims to human sympathy."

The Trilunc comments sharply upon cer ta in expressions in the Speech of Mr. WEBSTER at tho Boston Jubilee, laudatory of the American people. It doubts the propriety of such boasting, in the presence of so many invited guests from Canada, and thinks it bad taste for a great statesman like Mr. WEBSTER to proclaim tho superiority ol the United States, in such emphatic terms, even conceding the fact to be as stated. TVte Tribune adds:

" Hut what seems especially exceptionable in the expressions attributed to Mr. Webster, is the domineering tone which runs through them with reference to other nations. The sees, we are informed, maybe quietly traversed by the world's commerce ' by our leave ;' as if fiiich superiority as we may achiove, and as there is honor in achieving nnd in struggling for, were in some way to be used as the; means of levying tribute or exacting homage. We protest ugainst such a perversion of the true ollice of tills republic in the world's affairs.— Our business is not to diraito to other nations, but by our success and.influence to emancipate them from dictation ; not to bring them under our control, but to prompt ;and lend them to freedom from all control but their own. It is time we thought less about this sort of domination nbrond, and dd more to secure and multiply the reid elements of greatness and progress at home."

The Journal of Commerce says that in the City of New-York there is a strong national feeling, which must control the factious hostility of both the great political parties of the State to the compromise measures of 1850. Both the State Conventicns, it asserts, stilled the voice of this great State, which is unquestionably in favor of the compromise measures; and, " I n nddition to their failure to take such ground on' the subject of the Compromise as this city witli due regard to her national position could properly support, the resolutions of the two Conventions were artfully drawn to deceive the two branches nfoach party, and the evidence is unquestionable that ollice and the emoluments of office constituted the cohesive power which kept opposing elements united."

The Journal reviews its counsel, that all independent citizens stand aloof from the contest, and vote only for such men on both tickets as may represent their views. It clones thus:

"The people of this city and vicinity have great cause for encouragement and for activity When they began the contest, it was doubtful. Their blpws, which were follow ed up by other patriotic cities, and filially by the country at large, struck terror into those who feltsecuro in their narrow and selfish aims. But \i the city of New-York remain silent at this juncture, the voice of the two Conventions will be deemed and taken to be hers, an'd that noble band who in other Stales aro fighting boldly ngainM secession and abolitionism, will lose the benefit of her encouraging example, ane regard her as having surrendered herposition." *

The Express comments upon the wi thdrawal from the canvass of Gen. QUITMAN as candidate for Governor of Mississippi. It speaks thus of Gen. DAVIS and the contest:

"The telegraph has informed us that Jefferson Davis, the V. S. Senator from Mississippi, has taken the stump as the secession candidate for Governor, in place of Mr. Quitman, resigned. He will prove a harder man to beat than Quitman ; but the badness of his cause, his inflammatory doctrines and his hostility to the Federal Gov. crnment, we trust, will prove, with Mr. Foote, much more than a match for hiin, and all the personal popularity he has won, either as a fortunate ollicer ot tho wt'.rVith Mexico, or as an intelligent and able public man. We had understood that Jefferson Davis would resign his seat in the United States Senate if his party were beaten in the late canvass, but we behold him, on the contrary., leading the same party after defeat into a battle, the results of which, we trust, will prove both disastrous to Uiiu as a leader and the cause he defends."

The Philadelphia North American denounces the efforts made by some of the' Democratic papers in that State to convert the recent tragedy at Christiana into r. political affair, and to make capital out of it for the Democratic party. It says:

" Everything wns done that, under the circumstances, was possible; aiid our public functionaries, National and State, vied in their efforts to restore order and bring the offenders to punishment. Nothing on this score was left for reproach or regret. Those who consider ' all fair in politics' pursued a different course. No matter that the tragedy was too heart-startling, too solemn and terrible to be dragged into tho arena of politics ; no matter (hat sueh a course violated the holiest proprieties, and appealed to the worst passions for tho worst purposes ; it was unhesitatingly levied upon by the foes of Ihr Governor. They charged the State and its functionaries with open resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law ; they alleged that the county of Lancaster—whose loyal freemen surpass In numbers those of one or two sover-vereign Stales—was in actual treason againnt the Government ; they accused, in terms tho most opprobrious, the Governor with being accessory before and after the fact to the murder; and they comprehended the majority of the people of Pennsylvania, who sustain him, in the charge of treason and homicide. It is not surprising that such a course was attended with an immediate and extensive re-actiou."

E 5 P The Auburn Advertiser s ta tes that , dur ing ihe trip of the steamer Huckcyc State lately, through tho Northern Lakes, she encountered a violent 3torm. After it was over, the passengers held a meeting to adopt resolutions as to the conduct of the officers. Another was offered, declaring the boat to be unseaworthy:

Aft 3r the rending of tho resolution, a chivalric gentleman from Louisville, Ivy., took the floor, and begged tho Chairman of the meeting not to allow it to be attached to the regular series, and argued that it should be ruled out of order. When the Kentucky speaker resumed his seat, Mr. Kellogg Beach, of this city, took the floor, and advocated, in a gentlemanly and able manner, the passage of the resolution, Stating that he could see no earthly reason why the gentleman from LouisviUo ahould go so far as to oppose its introduction and discussion, as that was the legitimate business of the meeting, and it was the duty of the passengers to express their opinion as to the merits of the boat as well as the. conduct of its officers.

The remarks of Mr. Beach wero so forcible, that tho Southerner became greatly enraged, and gave rent to his feelirgs by a personal assault upon Mr. B., striking him two violent blows in the face. Mr. Beach immediately placed himself on the defensive, and by a well-directed blow, made it necessary that his cowardly assailant should wear a bandage over his under-lip for the rc-maindcrof the voyage. The further attack of the Louisville Colonel was prevented by the interference or the passengers, who almost to a man, censured his conduct in the severest terms. The Colonel, who, by the way, is represented as being a man br great physical strength, intimated to Mr. B. that he should meet him again and settle the matter with weapons, but before tho boat touched tha wharf, at Bufialo, the gallant officer and Ex-Scnaior made an apology for his atrocious conduct, and for this reason we withhold his name from the public.

T H E N B r M E X I C A N M A I L S . — W e have mentioned the, conclusion of a contract with Mr. H. Sklllman for the transportation of the mails or. certain routes to and in New-Mexico.

beautiful and tempting contents, was in kecpin"

with the occasion, and tho brilii,,.* >"-cpin0

., , c .k . • u r "hant assemblage gathered for the entertainment. B« in order to give you a correct idea of the whole affair, of the distinguished gussts, of the ccrdiality with which they wero received, and of the generous and eloquent sentiment in which it was reciprocated by all, I cannot do better than to refer you to the very full reports of our morning papers, which will doubtless meet your eye, sooner than this imperfect sketch.

This being the last day of the Fair, the rush to take the Inst look at tho Grand Exhibition has been great ever since the gates were opened this morning. Every Hall on tho ground was thronged with eager visitors, and every machine, and every animal in tho field was surrounded with spectators. The steam-engines, threshing-machines and reapers, were in constant operation to exhibit their practical workings.

Among the latter, McCormick's Patent, which has'at-tained so much celebrity in consequence cf its having taken the premium at the World's Fair, was tho object of particular interest. But it is impossible to enumerate,' isr particularize the articles which attracted the most curioslty,or awakened the greatest admiration, wflt!K they all were tho subjects of remark, and of instructive observation, from the tens of thousands who hivo been assembled around them. Every variety of tante must have been gratified, as every interest ha« been represented, and almost every improvement which experience and inventive genius have suggested, has been brought forth for aclual inspection. And the excitement and interest for seeing and learning have continued unabated during the day, as is evidenced by the crowds that have been jostling their way through the clouds of dust almost suflbcatinn, to the field. Every means of conveyance, public and private, has come in with its additions to the multitudes, all day. Our own population. stems almost entirely submerged in this sea or humanity that ha> rolled in upo.. us IV nn abroad. The tide has been s«tlng with great force and velocity towards the Exhibition, where it divides ir.to minor streams, covering and overflowing the grounds In all parts and directions. But to attempt any description of tho carriages and pedestrians, going to and returning from it every moment in the live long day, from tho morninc to the evening bells, crowded and intermingled in tlie most blinding confusion, owing to the fine dust with which the air has been filled, would he useless, us it would fall short of the truth of actuul experience. From any portion of the grounds to-day, one might look about upon a vast collection of people, whose numbers have not been equalled in the history of Agricultural exhibitions in this country. It seems as though all Western and Southern New York hid sent the fullest and most particular representations. The completion of tho New York and Eri.s Railroadthrongh to Dunkirk, and of the Canandaigua and Jefferson Railroad to the latter place at the head of Seneca Lake, has facilitated scccss and easy communication, to a section of the State, hitherto shut out from frequent intercourse with us. And the enterprising farmers and mechanics, in ithat growing and wealthy country, whose riches and resources arenowtobe developed ami appreciated, have readily availed themselves of the opportunity now presented to them for file first time, of visiting their more highly favored brethren, on a public occasion of interest to all.

According to previous arrangement, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, an immense nudieuce assembled in the Speaker's tent, to listen to the Address, by Senator Douglas,— After Introductory religious exercises, by Rev. Dr. Vau-duzen of Grace Church, tho speaker was announced, and was received with cheers. Tho Address, which was rather lengthy, but able and eloquent, and indicating a practical acquaintance with Agriculture and the •Mechanic arts, by its distinguished author, was listened to with profound interest by the van*, concourse, who were as compactly packed as they cstild be in standing.— Seats were prepared only lor the small number who could be admitted to the Speaker's stand. There was an unusual degreec of interest felt in hearing this Address, as the history of Mr. Douglas is so well known to many in Western New-York. But a few years havo elapsed, since he left the county of Ontario, in one of the towns of which, if I have been correctly informed, he taught a district school, and removed to Illinois. Ilia industry and talents have elevated him there, succssively to high judicial and political station, and have placed him in the most honorable position to which, a State of the Union can elevate n favorite son. And the indications of popular regard, in the party of which ho is so prominent a member, seem to point to him as a probable candidate for higher honors, not many years hence. .

The allusion made in the commencement of his er-marks to the demands of the trade of the West for the enlargement or the Erie Canal, was received with loud applause. But 1 did not design any criticism upon any portion ot the Address, leaving that to the judgment of you*, readers, to whose inspection you will doubtless soon submit it.

The people are no w rapidlly returning from the exhibition, preparatory to their final departure to their homes, widely scattered throughout the length and breadth of the Empire State. All agree that it has been unrivalled in the richness and variety of the articles entered for competition, in the perfection of the improvements in all kinds of machinery, and in the multitudes who have witnessed this instructive display of the peaceful and useful arts, and the rapid adva.ice of intelligence and scientific knowledge in the great art of agriculture, whose interests are tho most stable basis of all material occupations, to republican institutions.

The public have been shocked by tho intelligence which has just been received of the death, at his residence in this city, of Hon. Frederick Whittlesey. Xfo has been ill for about two weeks, and though his disease was considered dangerous several days since, it was hoped that its power would be arrested. He was born in Juno, 1799, and was consequently 52 years old at the time of his decease, which has occurred to him in the midst of honors and usefulness. But more cf this sad event, in future. Yours, <fcc, n.

T H E M U R D E R A T OAKLAND G O T T A G E . — W e have already mentioned the fact that Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain, President of tho Oakland College, at Port Gibson, Mississippi, had been brutally murdered by Mr. George A. Briscoe, who subsequently put an end to his own existence. A correspondent of the New-Orleans Picayune, under date of the 8th inst., says the following facts in relation to this dreadful affair wero elicited before the coroner's jury;

" On the afternoon of Friday last, tho 5th inst., about ii o'clock, Mr. Briscoe, on his way home from Rodney, called at the gate of Dr. Chamberlain's residence. The doctor being Informed or tho ract, went lo the gate, Mr. B. still routining his seat in his cab. The conversation between them commenced while the doctor was yet in tho yard. In the continuance of it, ho leaned on the top of the gate. Soon his two daughters who were eye-witnesses of the scene, heard Mr. B. exclaim in a very angry tone, ' You lie! Politician,' <fcc. It is supposed that he referred to a printed card in which the doctor publicly denied the expulsion or suspension of a student because of his political views and opinions. To the repeated declarations, 'You lie,'the doctor was heard to soy, ' You must prove that; ' .when Mr. B. at once leaped from Ills vehicle, and with his loaded whip felled the doctor to the ground, and as he attempted to rise, other blows again prostrated him; and, as he was about to rise a second time, Mr. B. drew forth a bowie-knife, of eight-inch blade, and plunged it iHto tho doctor's heart. lie rose notwithstanding, and stcrted towards tho house, about fifteen or twenty paces distant. His son-in-law coming up just at the time, saw Mr. B. wipe the blade of his knife, and then drive off. The doctor, leaning on his son-in-law, entered the door, remarking, ' I am killed.-- He fell on the floor of the passage, and in a few moments closed his eyes in death. On examination, five severe wounds, inflicted with the loaded whip, were found in the forehead, crown, and back part of the head, and in addition to tho fatal wound in tho breast. Verdict of the Coroner's jury unanimousiy, ' M urder.'

Y'estcrday, tho remains of Dr. Chamberlain, after appropriate religious services, were carried by his friends to their last resting place in the college burial ground. . But this is not.the end of the tragic scene. Mr. C, on his way-home from'thu fatal deed, called upon two of his friends, and told them that he had stabbed Dr. Chamberlain in self-defense. That lie handed his loaded whip to the Doctor, and be beat him with it to such a degree, that he was compelled to kill him. IIB then showed them his hat, which was torn, and said the Doctor toro i t ; but he showed no vxrnnds or bruises. When search, was made for him that night by legal authorities, ho could not be found. Yesterd-iy afternoon he was dis-, covered by a negro. He was lying on tho ground, in a very dense part of tho woods, in a dying tilute. A physician was immediately called to him, but could give no relief. He had become almost black in the face, very much swollen, and the blood was oozing from various parts of his body. He lived a few hours. This morning a coroner's inquest was held and the body identified.— Verdict: 'Deathfrom cause unknown.'

This afternoon the remains were carried to the grave. Both have gone to their eternal rewards.

Dr. Chamberlain formerly resided in Gettysburg, Pa., and married a daughter of the late Jacob Mctzger, Esq., ofHunover, Pa.*'

hastening to anticipate them by a word to which thoy had so often rosponded, and which required some sign of acquiescence The marshals, however, mstcud of retiring respectfully, as usual on such occasions, to execute the ordors thoy received, drew close together, and Jirmly fixing their feet on the floor, showed by this attitude, their resolution to remain, Napoleon w a s agitated, hut restrained h i s feelings, till Marshal Ney, whose numerous oxploits had given him the right of expressing himself with more freedom than tho : others, exclaimed, ' T h a t not a single sword should leave tho scabbard to cflect the use less and insane crimo of a desperate ain-hition against tho country.'

pcrntivcly extended arms and pointed lingers of tho ofll-ccrs, the low murmurs, the threatening looks, the broken words scarcely checked on the lips, the stamping of (eel and the clatter of snbrcs on the lloor, seemed to indicate to Napoleon, that matters were fast verging to extremities, and that the terror he had so long inspired was at length recoiling upon himself, He, nevertheless, ngnin tried his moral power ; ho raised his brow, which had bent beneath the keenest reproaches, and again dismiss; lag his lieutenants by a gesture, ' Tho army at l e a s t -will that follow mo 1' lie said with a bitter smile,. ' The army,' replied the marshals, in a more vehement toad, ' will obey its gonernls.' This w a s turning against lifts own heart the sword ho had placed in their hands. Napoleon felt himself disarmed. It only remained for him to set at definnco his companions in glory, in the most insulting maimer, by clearing a passage through the. group that pressed around him, and by rushing out on, the Icrrncc of the court to call upon his grenadiers to avenge their Emperor, But here, ns at Saint CloiwVhis foot,! his'heart, his voice failed him. He crossed;his arms oh his breast, bent down his head; appeared to reflect a long- tinio in silence; then composed his features to hide his humiliation ; nnd in the: tone of a man who voluntarily seeks counsel of h is friends, instead of submitting himself to their, will through force : 'Well , ' lie said to t h e m , ' What ought I to do in your opinion V •

'Abdicate! ' exclaimed, in a rough and unanimous voice, the. marshals nearest to him. .

' Y e s , there remains for you, for us , for our: country, no other course, ho other: means of safety than your abdication,' exclaimed the others, , . '!' >••

' And sec what; you have gained by hot following the advice of your friends; w h e n they wished you to make peace,' snid Marshal Lcfobvrc, ; ; ; -^ ?

A general murmur of approbation revealed to Napoleon that he had no 'further hope or even pity, to expect in all these hearts. He heard; though he (feigned not to hear, words which revealed (he long hidden depths of his soul, Ho s a w that the resentment of the nation over flowed even from the lips of its last preservers. No commisseraiion concealed from him their ingratitude. Defection assumed tlio'nccont of patriotism. Vulgar minds, that have cringed the lowest before prosperity,

conduct themselves with tlio utmost Insolence before misfortune. Military bluntiicss is then dignified by tbo name nl' frankness ; yet this tartly frankness Is often hut the revenge of long servility. It was not spared to Napoleon. In a few moments ho w a s overwhelmed with those voices which had been so long smothered-with forced adulation. Ho merited this punishment from that public opinion which he himself had so much abused. Hut . w a s it the recipients of his own favors that should have inflicted it? ,i;

Napoleon submitted himself, not to their counsels, but to destiny, which had disarmed him. ' I will present to you my abdication,—leave me for a moment to write it,' ho said. The marshals withdrew towards the door of the narrow closet, without losing sight of tho Emperor. He sat down before a small table covered Willi green cloth. Ho took a pen, reflected a moment,' and then weighing tlio words in hit) mind be wroto deliberately, and with a trembling hand, his abdication in the following words; .

'The allied powers having proclaimed that the Emperor

Napoleon was tho sole obstacle to tlio recsiublishmcnt of pence, the Emperor Napoleon, liiithful to his'oalli, declares that ho is ready to descend from the throne, to quit. France, and even life itself, for tho good of die country ; without prejudice, however, to the rights of his son, to those of the regency of the Kmprcss, and to the maintenance of the laws of the Empire.

' G i v c u a t o u r Palace at Fontaiiieblenu, the •lth April, 1814. ' N A P O L E O N . '

' 'There , gentlemen, snid he, addressing the marshals Whoifldvanccd towards him ; . ' are you satislleri?'

Tlio lieutenants received the abdication from his hands, rend it, and bowed in satisfaction, Thin abdication w a s their ransom for tho country, and their personnl treaty With Europe, Thoy troubled thcmsolves little about tlio conditions-that: the Emperor seemed to attach to it. Without a sword or a crown, negotiation is at an end. They held their oaths and their liberty in thoir hands, and they were fully determined never again to confide them to him.

As to Napojcon, although the scene which had just passed left him no further illusion on the attachment of ambition to power, ho feigned still to entertain it, either lo flatter himself or his marshals, or rather, perhaps, to cover with an appearance of dignity and independence: the violence he had suffered, and which lie would not even confess to himself. • Gentlemen,' said lie to thum, in a voice ho strove to render confident, "you must now go to Paris to defend Ihc interests of my sou, the interests of the army—those of France, 1 iiamo as my commissioners the Duke of Viccn7.ii (Coulaincourt), the Marshal Prince of Moskowa, and tho. Marshal Duke of Itagusa. Are you satisfied with tho names!—do these interests appear to you in good hands|f . , ;

Tho generals signified Ihuir-assent. Napoleon, w h o had Remained-standing In a/slate of,

nervous agitation from tlio mompriilie had tendered tho net of abdication to his cqmpanions'ifn: arms, (could no. longer resist the oxhniisllon which often follows a violunt shock of the mind. He Hank exhausted on a sola, and waited a moment to recover his broatli. Then placing his hands on his forehead, lie seemed lo bc! absorbed in the deepest anxiety. Nothing w a s heard through tho silence of the closet (illumed by the sun's rays) but tho sound of his difllcult., breathing. The marshals felt pained by this agony of an expiring ambition;-but they believed him atjengtli conquered, They weremistukeii, This phrenzy of Napoleon's disguised a last stratagem of his passion for empire,:; Ho started up, as If seized with a sudden, repentance, and darling towards his generals, as if to re-possess and tear"up his written resignation : ' N o , no!' he cr ied;"there shall bo no regency. With my guard alone, and the army ofMnrmout, I shall be in l'aristo-morrow!!, ; - : ,

One unanimous exclamation or the generals protested w i t h indignation against this resumption of the will they thouglu they had conquered Marshal Ney spoke to him with the energetic roughness of n soldier who no longer hesitates to opposo rudeness to insanity. Napoleon's blood (lew-to .his temples, and his gestures were those of suppressed despair. He could no longer brook the presence of the men Who had torn from him oven his self-respect. 'Retire,' lie snid to them in a voice of thunder. They''Went out-wii l i downcast looks, recommending silence to each other on the violence employed to cflect the abdication. They carried with them the Empire; for the Emperor I hoy little cared now."

The most eloquent .appeals that could Issue from the Church, lo convoke young people to its shrine by reason and sentiment. His pages wero eagerly sought after, as if they had fallen from above, upon an ago that w a s led astray and wandering from tbo road to Heaven.

CHARACTER OF NAPOLEON. " Personal glory will be always spoken of as character

Ising tho age of Napoleon) but ,it will never merit the praise bestowed upon Unit of Augustus, of Charlemagne, ami of Louis XIV. There is no ago ; there is only a name; and this name signifies nothing lo humanity but himself. False in institutions', for he retrograded ; false in policy, for ho debased; false in morals, for ho corrupted; false in civilization, for he opprcssod; falso in diplomacy, for he isolated,—he w a s only true in w a r ; for lie shed torrents of human blood. But what can we then allow him 1 His individual genius was great, but it w a s the genius of materialism. > His -intelligence was vast nnd clear, but it w a s the intelligence of calculation. He counted, ho weighed, he measured ; hut he felt n o t ; he loved not; he sympathised with none; lie wns a statue rather than a man. Therein lay his inferiority to Alexander and to Crosar: ho resembled more the Ilaimlbal of the Aristocracy, Few men have thus been moulded, and moulded cold. All w a s solid, nothing gushed forth In that inind, nothing w a s moved.: His metallic nature w a s felt even in his style, : Ho w a s , perhaps; the greatest writer of human events since Machiavcl, Much superior to Cmsar in', tlio account of his campaigns, his style is not (be written expression Ploiic; it is thu action. Every sentence in hisjpages ls ,vso to speak, the counter-part niid counter-impression of the fact. There is neither a letter, a soiiml, or a color .wasted'between the fact and the word, and the word is himself. His phrases concise, but struck; off without: ornament, recall those times when; najtttct and Charlemagne, not knowing how to write (heir namosn l tho bottom of tlicir imperial acts, dipped their hanrts iii ink or blood, and applied them with all tlicir articulations impressed upon the parchment. It w a s not the signature; it w a s tlio hand Itself of tho • hero thus fixed eternally before the e y e s ; and such wore the pages of his campaigns dictated by Napoleon,—tho very soul of movement, of action, nnd of combat.

This tame, which constitutoil.tyils morality, his conscience, and his principle, ho merited, by bis nature and his tnlcnts, from war and from glory; and ho litis covored with it the name of France, France, obliged to accept tho odium.of his tyranny and his crimes, shoitld,aIso accept his glory wiili a serious gratitude; Sho cannot separate her name from his, without lessening i t ; for it is equally incntstcd with his .greatness as with his fiutlts.

which $2,800 has been subscribed. "

The oxereiscs opened by a hymn chaunted hy the congregation ; after which Rev. Mr. Curry, of the Fleot-strcct church offered an nppropfWc prayer. The Choir then sang the hymn—

"Behold the sure foundation" stone," &c,

Dr. Kennedy then addressed the meeting, congratulating them upon the v iew the City presented, studded as it w a s with Christian Temples, and comparing tho fccllngs excited in their breasts to those which oppressed St. Paul in his early mission, when toiling up extended its boundaries and the population augmented, Churches sprung up in proportion to their increasing wants , where they could rcarlcssly worship the ever true nnd living God, and say, with the Psalmist, Oh Lord! I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where ThyJHonor dwcllcth.

A collection w a s taken up, amounting to about $100. In the corner-stone were deposited a copy ofthe Bible,

Methodist, hymn hook, discipline, memorandum book Mars Hill, ho espied the ancient nnd splendid edilices of Athens, totally given up to idolatry.

K I N O S C O U N T V B O A R D O F S U P E R V I S O R S . — T h i s Board met yesterday afternoon at the County Jail. Pre-

: sent Dr. Berry, Chairman, presiding. The minutes of Inst meeting read and approved. A communication w a s received from the Superintendents of the Poor, with a proposition from Rev. ,1. Carter, of Brooklyn, for tho erection of a house for religious worship on the County Farm at Flatbush, at a cost of $1500, and recommending the same ; to Alms House Committee to report.

The Committee on Acinunts report the following bills for payment: Gen. Dnryea, District Attorney, $501); W. Willis, $115 ; A. Y. P. Smith, .$115; S.J. Myers, $210 75; H. Williamson, $52 50.

A resolution w a s adopted authorizing Jail Ccmmittee to advertise and contract fur coal and charcoal for the County Jai l ; also, tendering a vote of thanks to Supervisor Stillwetl for the taste and economy displayed by him in titling up the Court room.

The Committee on Equilization of Taxes, to whom w a s referred tile assessment rolls, reported an increase of assessment in tho Eighth Ward of Brooklyn, of fifty per cent.; in the Ninth Ward of twenty-five per cent.; nnd in the Tenth Ward often per cent. In New-Utrecht of fifty per cent.; and a decrease in Williamsburg of ten percent .

Supervisor S. G. Bergen, moved as an amendment that the Rolls be approved, and at some length defended the estimates of the Assessors, arguing that they could not possibly be so much out ofthe way as 50 per cent.— that they might err or differ in n small amount, hut not to such a large one without violating their oaths, which he believed they regarded as much as the committee could, and they were* more c« mpetent to judge than were the;committee—that Board—or any other body of men. l i e proceeded to maintain his argument by citing cases in ' detail, showing how the assessments equalized as computed on the Rolls.

His Honor Conklin Brush and Supervisor Stillwcll defended the action of tho Committee, ami Mr. Kent that of the assessors. Supervisors Spinola, Sparkroan and Much more took part in the discussion, which occupied the whole afternoon. Supervisor SpinoJa incidentally mentioned that the Atlantic Dock buildings, in the Sixth Ward, hud increased in value within one year, one million dollars ; and Mr. Sparkman said he did not think nil Williamsburg would realize two millions. Tbe amendment w a s lost.

It w a s then moved by Mr. Kent that eight per cent, be added to the assessment in the Third and .Sixth Wards of Brooklyn, and that ten per cent, be deducted from Williamsburg as proposad.

Mr. Stillwell moved to accept the Sixth Ward as returned by the Assessors , and that ten per cent, be deducted from Bushwick. After considerable discussion Mr. Kent withdrew, by consent, his amendment and offered in lieu thereof that eight per cent, be added to the assessments in the Third and Sixth Wards, that live per cent, be added to thos« o f the Tenth, and that t enner cent, be deducted from the assessments or Williamsburg, and eight per cent, from that of Bushwick.

The Report o f t h e Committee, as amended by Mr. Kent's amendment w a s adopted—ayes 11, nays 4, and the board, having been in session from 3 fill 9 o'clock, adjourned till Wednesday next, Oct. 1, at 3 o'clock.

II, Hodges, Sheriff" of K'rngs County. —This cause, part heard and reported on Tuesday, terminated in a verdict for the defendant. C J. Jack, Esq. , who appeared for the plaintiff, argued that the property in question w a s exempt, citing the case cf a doctor's horse, which had been held to be a necessary aid in his business, and as such within the meaning of theaiatute. Witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff, who testified that he w a s in the habit of traveling about with, and using the property. For the defense, witnesses were called who proved that he had offered the horse for sale. The judge charged the jury, among other points, that it w a s for them to say whether the plaiiitilt had treated the horse and wagon as necessary aids in carryine on his business, or as merchandise in which he dealt, "Upon this point the jury found for defendant. The plaintiff obtained leave to file a bill of exceptions.

This case concluded the calender, when the jury were discharged for the term.

In the case of Goulard, which has given rise to so much litigation, it is likely that a jury will be specially summoned (if the parties appear prepared,) to try the issue whether he left with the intention to defraud the creditors.

P H I L A D E L P H I A , Wednesday, Sept. 24,165L Our city has this morning been stunned by

the news of an outrage perpetrated upon Gov. Johnston, at Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, on Monday evening, at which place a Whig political meeting had been called. The facts, as told nie are, that P. W. Hughes, formerly Stale Senator and a leading Democrat now, formerly a whig, took his station on the stand, prepared for tho Governor, and commenced a tirade of abuse, saying that

. the Gov. had the blood ofMr.Gorsiicb upon his skirts, and appealing to the vindictive feelings of the large foreign population resident there, engaged in miningoccupations, branded him as a Nutivc American and church burner. Some of the more moderate friends of Mr. Hughes persuaded him to descend from the stand, but the confusion was kept up during the Governor's speech, and subsequently a pistol w a s discharged at him from the erowd, the ball from which passed above his shoulder. The outrage occured at Mount Carbon, as the Governor w a s leaving the cars on his return to Pottsville. Clubs and stones were also used, and several persons were struck. and considerably injured.

Another Fugitive Slave case is before Commissioner Ingraham, which somewhat differs from all others reported. The alleged fugitive is a woman, who answers to the name of Carry, She w a s included in the writ held by the deceased Mr. Gorsuch. She w a s arrested at Christiana, and expressed a strong desire to go home toller master. She is probably about sixty years or age.— The case presented the singular anomaly, of a determination on the part ofthe fugitive, to return to her master, and indifference on the part ofthe master to receive her. The name of her master is Albert Davis. She expressed a desire to see her three grand-children, whom she lett. at Christiana, (one of whom is sick,) before she returns to Maryland. The master, subsequently to the hearing last evening, stated, that if she w a s sent back she could reside with a relative of his as a family nurse. In consequence of the Commissioner having received a telegraphic despatch, the hearing w a s again postponed until to-morrow afternoon.

J^ew warrants have been issued for the arrest of other parties implicated in the Christiana outrage, and several ofthe Marshal's police, deputised by the U. S. Marshal, have gone up to serve them. Tho trials are progressing' at Lancaster city, and this morning Thaddeus Stevens-opened the defense, 'which consists principally in efforts to discredit the Government witnesses.

"When, therefore, for anything is predicated, for brevity's sake, of Berlin and tho Borlincso, intelligent readers will understand that the remark should

t surpassing merit of tho various works of art, in fine, ! the Summum-Jionumness of Berlin, is a frequent | and grateful theme with its citizens. They love to I indulge in comparisons that fall out odiously to tho disadvantage of other Gorman eitios. They show a

more provincial spirit than is becoming, more than 1 have observed olsowhoro. This spirit is a thomo of satire and cause of dislike among other Germans, But they really have much .to boast of.

i alone eighlcon feet in higbt, He is represented in j full military dress, even to the three-cornered cocked j lmf, which is gracefully softened, however, by the

folds of a rich mantlo of ermine, that falls lightly from the shoulder. The horse, a high spirit under discipline, seems proud of his rider. Old Fritz, as

. the Prussians love to call the man who brought such fearful distress upon their forefathers, is hero, by a

J symbolism common onbugh,'of colossal proportions,— On the four walls of the pedestal arc eight has rc-

i liefs, representing his birth, certain events of bis life

,| and characteristics of his nature, and his apotheosis, .-.', (tho apotheosis of Frederick the Great, strikes ono

oddly). The four corners of this pedestal arc occupied by the images of Temperance, Justico, Wisdom and Strcngth—very beautiful. Below these small bas reliefs, thero aro others of life size, tho figures of generals nnd statesmen. Among thoso last, but not of them, on the side toward the Bran-

•*frrtiburg gate, appear Grann, the composer, Gottfried, Ephraim Lcssing, tho great critic, and one may say founder of German Belles Lcttrcs, nnd Imman-ucl Kaut. The old philosopher, the most olTcctivo revolutionist, since Luther, looks very hard nnd dry

modern thought, Tho reclining statuo of Queen ( Louisa, the noble, sorely-tried, lovely woman, has

been hitherto considered Ranch's maslor-pioco, but must yield its rank to this, of which a rough half-sketch has just been given. Or porhaps, bettor both should stand in the first rank, They can hardly bo compared; or only as a sweet, mournful elegy to a complete historical drama,

1 have heard Americans express regret, and almost shame, that no monument analagous to this of Frederick, stook in any of our public, places to tho

, honor of a much greater, Washington'.', As far as ) / ^ « n r r ^ ^ ^ t , T ^ A ^ i l l i 7 t h t J u Y i bu f aV for tlib

Tho people here pay for such works, as thoy pay for splendid palaces and their decorations; but the artists receive their order from kings. As long as tho policy of the Prussian government is so cssontially

I i a military and 'f conservative'1 one, it is most natu-•; ral that such encouragement, to a spirit of military

glory and reyal reverence as these monuments pre-h • sent, should bo a favorite object of regard with thoso [ who are to profit most by it.

A sense of Art, however, is spread among the people of Berlin. T h e dwellings of private men, not of great wealth, aro often of elegant, generally of tasteful architecture. Tho print-shops, and in a lessor degree, shops for tho sale of fancy waro, indicate a class of customers with a refined senso for the graco and beauty of forms, Tho lesser phenomena of the streets, that draw the strongest attention, are first, the miscrablo side-walks.— They aro wide, but excepting a pitiful little strip of flagging through the middle, paved with small stones,

J in walking on which one pays dreadful penanco for the involuntary, unspoken profanity that they constantly sugijcst. Early in tho morning, ono can

As the ]j' aim rises, another peculiarity of tho Berlin streets" I becomes offensively apparent to the strangor's olfac

tories— fumes' ascending from the stagnant foulness . of tiro gutter,' for tho city lies on a plain where drainage is almost impossible, Frederick-street is

, j two mile's long,; raid water stands; in the side-gutters • for the entire distance. Laterin tho day, the shaded

! 8tmtimental,'bisoxual pairs, in family bands, military parties, friendly parties, and all in deconoy and order. Hero and. there, I saw poor hand-organists grinding out airs, on which, chamoleon;likc, they seem to live, lit least, in repeated visits to this popular resort. I did not seo a single instancoof their receiving any more solid support from the involuntary aii&onco./ Their music was bad of its kind. Critics liiay.say what' they will of tho relative con-

, ditions of musical art, on the European and American sido a(tho wator';;" this' is certain, that the organ is ground to a highor state of perfection, and more re muncratively; in the city of Novy-York, than in the streets.of the great, European capitals; / Music, by tho first composors! is excellently performed at sove-ittl of tho large Gardens, with two of which Theatres are coimecicd,' on the outskirts of tho Park.

Tho book is said to show a strong argumentative faculty on the part of the author, but is excessively heavy and unreadable. l ie is now endeavoring to reproduce the ideas of that book in apopnlar form, but will.not probably succeed in throwing off the clumsy involution and dullness that belong to the stylo of a German book-worm,— His intimate friends told me that ho is an amiable man. but in what relates to social manners he is un-coutk to rudeness.

Our session at ITippcFs held rather late one evening, whereby I became acquainted .with the phenomena of Berlin streets, and among them a novelty—a kind of night-watchman, who commences his round, at ten o'clock, Ho signals the hours by a whistle, has a night-key to all the houses within his boat, and so lets in belated persons who come homo from the beer-houses in that peculiar, miscellaneous nibod of mind, and members that impedes their direct communication with key-holes. The country about Berlin does not produce wine, and is not fitted for tho culture of hops, so the Borlincso drink less wine and poorer beer, more schnapps than the Southern Germans, and suffor in conscquoncc, Rogues in the Prussian capital arc numerous, being rated at 18,000; yet punishments aro severe. For tho fourth offence ot: stealing (without regard to amount) tho penally is fifteen years' imprisonment, and w'ns, until lately, imprisonment for life. Worse and more unfortunate than this Jcgion of rogues aro 15,000 females. Tho knaves ana tho unfortunate are doubtless to a great extent tho children of hard poverty; for Prussia is not only asorcly taxbdland, hut tho free action of a. ninn's productive faculty (let that faculty bo what it will) is checked and deadened by all sorts of restriction laws. Soldiers, whose term of service has tended to unfit them for a better life, often furnish recruits to the 18,000, when it expires; while soldiers who are in service,encourage recruits to cnterthb band of female unfortunates. There has been in .the: city for, years a garrison of 8,000 troops, which the ro-actionary

ministry has raised to 12,000; some say more. Ono meets officers andmen wherever he goes, -

There arc nine theatres here, in which, so far as 1 have seen, the acting is good—on the whole hotter than with us. T h e scenery is better, the orchestras vastly better, the subordinate actors, if without any merit, not offensively bungling, and of tolerable memories.; I was most interested in tho representation ef Goethe's ijVwuy at tho:;Royal;Operft4Iouso. and surprisediojth^dfitsVmanyimonnings"so well ^rendered, on the stiigb^ jrhb part of Faust was only respectably nllcdi buttho 'Mepfiistpphilesf by-Doringi was, in some'.'passages,thever^-r-^ himself. The actor has "-'evidently"' studica Rctszch, and ' reproduced their wonderful sketches, admirably filled out in life-size. The part of Margaret was taken by a young lady from the Hamburg stag^e, who is starring hero. She, too, caught tho true spirit of tho poet's creation. Every ono who has read Faust, will remember the scene in the church, where poor Margaret, after her fall, attempts to pray, while the awful words of the Dies irte, and the taunts of the Evil Spirit, ring in hor cars, till the poor soul, distracted by dreadful fears, consumed by remorse, sinks hopeless, crushed to thocarth. She speaks no word, but the fearful struggle of emotions, the spirit's agony that consumes her whole being, was given in that pantomime of the unhappy girl, with a painful reality, such as [ have rarely seen on", tho. stage. When at last she dropped fainting on tho floor, a long breathing could be heard through the house. But the acting had been too much like life to lose its effect on the minds of tho audience in a moment, and no other -applause followed the fall of the curtain than a shy wiping of eyes among tho deeply moved spectators. T h e Oficra House is a beautiful one, and 'most fit for its puqioses—far surpassing in both respects, anything that we can boast. The same may be said of the Royal Theatre, The companies of both these houses aro conaeetcd, so that, as on the occasion just mentioned, tho troupe of comedians strengthens that of tho opera, when a piece, like Faust, requires the union of musical with histrionic art,

1 intended to say something of the Churches of Berlin, but have senrcely space for more than a word. They arc fewor, (there arc but thirty-eight of all kinds and sects,) and, excepting tho two Catholic ones, more thinly attended, than in tho case of any other city of nearly the same size in Christendom. The most frequented Protestant House of Worship is the Matthans Church, called also the Polka church, Tho worshippers arc for the most part officers of Government and their families, whoso policy it is to attend to a service that His Majesty patronizes.

Letter from Samuel F. Vinton—Division or the Union.

Wo find in our Western papers an cloquont letter from Hon. SAMUEL F, VINTON, in reply to

an invitation to attend tho opening excursion of tho Cincinnati and Dayton RniUbad, Tho Igttcr closes with the following cloquont passngo,

"Ih'uvSPftcndwelt, in imagination, upon tho future greatness ef your city (Cincinnati) and the consequent prosperity of the surrounding country, with tho highest delight, as realities that, in the fullness of lime, are sure to come, I have, also, often asked myself tho question if there he any calamity, arising from natural, moral or political causes to which she is exposed, that has power to nrrctit her onward progress to greatness ami defeat her high destiny. I can imagine but ono event that lins power, Infallibly, to prostrate all her high hopes, nnd the prospective hopes of ull others who are dwellers on either side of our beautiful Ohio, That event is a division of the Union, with that river for a boundary. Cut oil', as she then would be, from her access to the Mississippi and tho Gulf of Mexico, with her trndo confined to the norlhorn side of tho river, slid would no longer bo as she now is, the great point of concentration and distribution of the various products of industry.

For whatever sought the Atlantic for a market, would of necessity go from tho Northward, and not, as now, Southward to her, thus shifting her position from a groat commercial centre to its circumferonco. Nor is this nil ; tho wide-mouthed cannon planted on the opposite shoro of tho river, ready without n momont's warning, to vomit their deadly missils upon her habitations, would he an ever present and fearful proof of the insecurity of" We and property'.within her limits/. This, however, is but a view of a siiiglcpoint on a division line of some thousands ofmilus in extent, all every whore exposed to the same danger. From the most secure, (being now in the very hoart of the country) the country bordering on this long lino of division, would become the most insccuro of any on the face of tho globe. Nay, more, tho condition of the wholo territory of tho United States would be instantly und totally changed by such an ovent.

It is not the least, ifit bo not tho very greatest blessing we desire from the Union ns a nation, tlmt it cru-braces in the bonds of one brotherhood all who have, anything to fear from each other. Hence a mere shadow of an army of eight or ten thousand men is adequate to the defense of this great nation. Suppose, however, that the twenty-five millions that compose the population of tho United Slates, wcro sot down anywhere on the continent of Europe, docs any ono Imagine it could ox-ist in safety for a single" day, without a standing army bfatleasttwo hundred thousand men? Is it not perfectly plnln/tluu from the momchtof separation, each division bfthe country brings upon itself tho snmo danger ns if it, wcro located on tho Continent of Europe 1— Instondofn standing army of eight or ton thousand for the whole country, would not each division find itself obliged to he ever ready for war, with a standing army of n hundred or a hundred and fifty thousand men 7 To this complexion w-o should speedily and inevitably cqmc,'.Tho forms of tho now governments, might perhaps, remain unchanged, and to outward appoaranccs frccj but who requires to be taught that such a govornmont would, in fact, - bo a mere military despotism—tho

most intolerable of all govorhmants on earth. This, to say nothing of tho interminable wars which would bo suro to arise, and tho endless miseries consequent upon tlicm, is the inovitablo fate of separation, instead of Hint glorious future of prosperity, felicity, safoty and porpotual nat onnl cxistenco which the Union assures to us and our posterity, .This view of tho necossity or tho Union for-ciny teaches the priceloss value to the whole country, and to us in particular, who dwell in tho vnlloy oftho Ohio, of tho fnrowell warning of (the Fntlior of his country to tho people oftho United States, " indignnntly to trown uponthoflrstdawningsorovoryattompttoallon-nte any portion of our country from tlio rest, or to enfeeble tho sacred tics which now link together tho various parts." Permit mo to add in conclusion that in he construction of Itailroads, you are cfflciontly ni br

ingin the great work of upholding the Union, and thus making yourselves its greatest bonofactors, since nothing con more firmly and indissolubly bind together the differ-cnt parts of our common country, . •" '""

Please tender to tho Board of Directors my highest ro-gard for them personally, and my sincere thanks for thoir Kind invitation, and believe mc to bo very faithfully yours

E F " Wo have heard that it has besn said in some quarters, that Mr. Ullmann, Whig.'candidate for Attornoy General, is opposod to tho canal. This is a very great misapprehension, as wo havo tho best means of knowing. He is and ever has been a firm and unwavering friend of the Erie Canal and its speedy on-argement, and of all tho other internal Improvements of

lite State, He deems them highly important not only to the State at large, but especially to the city of which

-ho is a resident. Plenty ofoppononts of tho Whig canal policy may he found on the Locofoco ticket, but cor-tainly none on tho Whig ticket. Our nominees, to n man, are jvarmly In fhvor of it. And for that reason, among others, they ought to be all elected.-.--4 W«/i»y State Register.

Miss HAYES'S SECOND CONCERT.—The first

appcaranco of Miss Catherine Hayes, unheralded as sho was, with all the paragraphs and prepossessions that brought tho public to the feet of Jenny,Lind, was an unqualified triumph,— Indeed, the extent of the triumph can hardly bo fairly estimated, nnlcss!wo reckon the previous career of Mile, Lind, ns detracting in a very largo degree from the chances of her making a favorable ddbiit. Tho mass of listonorswero brought there not so much to' measure Miss Hayes's powers by tho just rules of lasto and musical criticism, but to measure her with her matchless compotitor. Even tho national prejudices in favor, of tho later comer had less than their wonted influence; and it was quilo evident to on-looltcrs, that wanting tho prestige of a boundless charity, and a royal reputation nnd patronage, tho "Swan of Erin" was to bo judged upon hor morits,

Thoso merits took tho public by storm, They brought the houso down in a perfect furor. And tho sound musical critic, so far from finding his interposition to bring tho popular estimation up to the proper level, is obliged to bring his structures to bear to moderato the estimate Miss Hayes will have to rank as a scebnd-rato cantatrice, if Mile. Lind be of tho first class. Her qualifications aro in some points extraordinary, but they lack tho entire finish and rounded completeness, which havo distinguished her glorious rival. Hervoicc is certainly of remarkable compass and register; and rings out, bell-like, on (lie mmo.tbncs; hut when it runs be-low middle C, wants strength and fullness to give full effect to tho notes. I lor execution of trills and crcsondo passages, is by no means'equal to tho ef. fed of the.enrfenii, which sho manages to very fine purpose. Tho voice wants forco in tho lower notes of the scale, and volunio every whore. . There is not that uniform equality of excellence, which, since the advent of tho fair Swede, American tasto has been spoiled into expecting. But yet wo do not deny Missi Hayes a measure of applauso nono other. than Jenny/could win'from us. ' 'Her, tasto /and oxo-^ ciilioh arubf;tho'highc8i bfdor.^ HeVtipprcbiation'of the valuq^of the" words, and tho enpneity of hor voice to" express litem is acute and sensible. Sho tnanslates the Irish Ballads, which really form her main strength, with a delightful truthfulness and jmthps, tho very soul of that inspirited energy which characterizes the genius of Ireland. The " Harp, (lint once, &o.," Moore's charming melody, seems to bo informed with tho burning recollection of all Erin's wrongs nnd degradation. There is im inimitable tone of griof and indignution thrown into tho concluding stanza, Again, in those delicious chefs d'imwrc of Irish ballad, " Kathleen Mavourneen," and ,'>' Savournecn Deelish," tho extreme richness and pathos of tho expression and naturalness and correctness of tho taste, would make up for defects of vastly greater magnitude than any discoverable in tho subject of this hasty notice.

Upon the wholo, Miss Kate Hnyes has mado a hit of it, Her audiences aro large, of tho very best classes, their good will unlimited, and their satisfaction boundless. Their contentment with the songstress is unmarred with any fastidiousness of criticism; and with a uniform prico o f $ l 00 a seat, or indeed half that sum, so as to admit a larger proportion of her fellow countrymen"/to tho tront, her. concerts would bo asprofitable as they nro excellent. •; In another n'rticloJwo'V'inay linvo5froniurkg; to; mako' upon Messrs.

Tho deceased was a Portugubso by birth, only 23 years of ago, and has no friends or rolatlons residing in this country.

Cornuondtncc of the Nem-York Daily Times. FEDEnAi.-ST, HOUSE, )

NEW LOJJDOV, (Conn.) Sept. 21,1851. j The Times was looked for here with un-

usunl interest, and when it came, it was read with avidity. Nobody seems to be able to understand how so beautiful ii sheet can ho sold for a cent— particularly where so much intellectual power is bestowed upon its columns. It is nothing strange that a small nnd poorly printed shcoj, almost entire-ly tilled with advertisements, and edited with little or no ability or, expense—should be sold for a cent. Such a paper is dear at any price. The Times, if successful, will mark a new period in journalism,

I came down to this ancient and celebrated town to pass a few days, chiefly because I learned at Stafford Springs that Mr. Crocker, tho liberal and hospitable proprietor of that charming place, was also the host of tho principal hotel here ; and the quiet comfort and elegance ofthe Stafford Springs House had so completely won my heart, I wanted, on my way to New-York, to stop here, where I am glad to say that I have found, at this hotel, everything which can administer to the comfort ofthe traveler.

1 should first, perhaps, have given you a letter from Stafford Springs (about which f have never seen a letter in any journal,) for I gathered many interesting souvenirs of that once celebrated and always beautiful place, during my short but delightful visit. This, however, I will shortly do. In this

: loiter I will speak of New-London, and brielly I sketch a few of those objects which most deserve i the attention of the visitor.

New-London is one ofthe shire towns of the County of the same name, and although it is gco-

i graphically the smallest town in the State, it is one of the most important, enterprising and prosperous. Its population, which has more than doubled in ten years, is about 10,000 by the last census, and its territory is only four miles long and three-quarters of a mile broad,

It is situated on the west bank of the river Thames, three miles from Long Island Sound, oh a declivity which descends to the' east and south. On tho western side of the city, near the old Cemetery, a broad and beautiful landscape opens on the eye in all directions. On the southern verge of the town rise the massive wal ls of Fort Trumbull, wliich is a well appointed garrison, and one of the complotnst fortifications in tbo;-world,;gnnrding the mnin passage from the Sound; while across the river rises from the long-leveled walls of old Fort Griswold the stately column which commemmorates the heroism of the bravo mon who fell therein the timo of tho Revolution, and the everlasting infamy of Arnold the Traitor, who set fire to the town where he played in his childhood, and stood in a church belfry gazing with exultation on the sight.

I have never seen any other, large town which was erected on a spot where tho materials for building it to almost-any'.;sizo could!be found in the very excavation ofthe streets. New London stands on a vast ledge of granite, and a Congregational church, which is now going in/on a scale of almost unpreee-ccntcd magnificence (for this country) is built entirely of granite, excavated from the ground on which it stands. It is a massive, grand and imposing edifice, and already rivals the Episcopal church, which is the best of all, Upjohn's designs, and stands nearly opposite the Federal-Street House.

There arc three classes of buildings which make up the town. The first and most numerous is those of wood. They prevail so extensively that the city looked more like a largo country village than u place of importance. There arc a vast number of white wood dwellings of three stories, surrounded by omTEnglish park-looking elms and willows, scattered through tho town, and they give an air of rural re-poso to the place which is very agreeable. The most remarkable edifice of this description was luilt after the revolution by Hon. Jodediah Huntington, who was one oftho aids of Gen. Washing-Ion. It was built in imitation of Mount Vernon; and although it is considerable smaller, it bears a striking resemblance lo that consecrated house,

The second class is the old Stone edifices, built ofthe native granite. The most remarkable of this kind is the Perkins House, which was raised from the granite blasted out of the hill against which it stands. It was built in Colossal proportions and st ill complete in all its parts as en the day it was finished. ft presents the appearance of an Italian villa, or an old English country mansion.

The third class is, of course, the'; modern brick house of 1851—red, regular, high, narrow, and bearing the unmistakable marks of the American city-lot lever.

The elms and weeping willows of tNcw-London constitute one of the principalcharms - of the place, Many of these' trees 5; aire fa fcehhiryvold,—-some! of them still rribrc ar io ' lent^ 'W^' ;*^^- W>-A•'•-• ' '<>•'.

: Tho wealtKorNwyrLondon, which is very great,• has been acquired by^-ebmriierce, and chiefly in the ' whalo fishery. In this pursuit it was long without a rival, and even now isf believed to bold rank second only to New-Bedford, with which it divides this vast and rich department of commerce.

The.harbor of New-London is one of the best in this country.: If is large, convenient and safe, with 30 or40fcctofw;ater. It is three miles in length and so free from ice that in January, '35, when our New-York harbor Was closed by ice, there was no obstruction hero. ; i This city arid district became distinguished for its "'-immenser sufferings during the revolution, and the j last Lottery legalized in this State (some 30 years ago) was for the purpose of erecting the monument to the brave men who perished here in the Revolution. The dispensation was sold out to a" Jcracyman",for $15,000, with which the lnontt-men t^as built^:; Some portion of the foundation gave way aifew years ago, and so much apprehension isi felt that it will fall, that very few persons now go up to the,top. It is said that it could be perfectly restored for SI,000, and it is a disgrace to the city arid the State-that it be allowed to remain in this condition any longer,

There seems lo be no lack of public spirit in the place, as is evident from the magnificent public buildings going up and the new rural Cemetery being established a mile or two west of the town. Dr. II, Stone, the sculptor, has laid out the grounds, and produced some of the finest effects of landscape-gardening. He is a man of original genius, ;and is acquiring a reputation peculiar to himself. He began by laying out Cypress Hills Cemetery, which is doubtless destined to be one of the most beautiful, as I believe it is already the largest, rural Cemetery in the world. He next laid out a Cemetery'in Pittsfield, Mass., another in Bridgeport, and several others, in ^different portions of Connecticut. Too much cannot be said in favor of the Cemetery rofbrm, which is gradually, but rapidly going through the country. Ordinances for the prohibition of city burials, are being everywhere enacted; arid there is a growing conviction of the impropriety, and even barbarity, of burying the dead amid the habitations of tho living. The old Roman law allowed neither burial nor burning within the walls of the city. 'TRUMBULL.

• TOPICS O F T H E DAY. •. -.-;-• THURSDAY, Sept, 10.

The Courier and Enquirer remarks t;;at the coming election in this State will undoubtedly determine the canal policy of the State'forever. If the Democrats succeed in electing Stale officers enough to control the Canal Board, it says, that the public works will again be stopped. The Courier argues that every consideration of expedience urges tho immediate completion ofthe Erie Canal:

"No greater folly nan be conceived, than a continuance ofthe miserable policy heretofore adopted of completing the enlargement ofthe Erie Canal out ofthe surplus of the canal revenue. The Hudson Itiver Railroad was opened to I'ouglikeepsie a year ago; now what would have been thought ofthe Directors of that Company, if, instead of borrowing money to complete it to Al-bnny, they hnd determined to look to their surplus revenues for the means of finishing it J Again suppose a company owned the Brie canal; would they borrow money to complete its enlargement and render the capital invested prodwetive; or would they fooolishly rely upon their surplus revenue to accomplish so desirable a result.' There can be no doubt as to theircourse. Not asane man in the State, we care not to what party he belongs, can for a moment doubt that it would be wise and prudent for a company, under such circumstances, promptly to raise the necessary funds to complete their work. And what would be wise in a company to do, to benefit their stockholders, it is equally wise for the Legislature to do, to benefit the people of this State, who are the. owners of the canals, and directly interested in their profitable Bianagemoxt. Will they, then, consent to elect a Canal Board opposed to the existing law for the completion of their public works 7 We think not; but this unquestionably, is the great issue at the approaching elections." • . - ' ' • - • •

• The Commercial Advertiser says that,it has scrupulously forborne to join in the condemnation of .' Mr. ALLEN F, OWEJL, Consul at Havana, until his own version of it should appear.' It has now been published, and The Commercial regards it as in the highest degree unsatisfactory;

"A letter from him is now before our readers. It refers, however, only to bis conduct towards the men who were executed. We nrc constrained to say that his explanation is in the highest degree unsatisfactory, *o far as it relates to those unfortunate victims of a gross delusion ; and we find it difficult, in view of the heartless tone of this letter, to hope for more satisfactory explanations of his alleged neglect of the second batch oi prisoners."

uai The late Mr. Cooper.

"Wc reported yesterday the proceedings of the meeting at the City Hall, held for the purpose of faking measures to do honor to the memory of the late .1. FEXIMORE COOPER. Appended to the report were letters from several distinguished literary gentlemen who had been invited to attend. In addition to these we now give the following:

CAMBnincE, Tuesday, Sept. 23,1851. DEAR Sin: I received this afiernoon your favor of the

17th, inviting me to attend and participate in the meeting to bo held in your City HaJl, for the purpose of doing honor to the memory of thetlate Mr. Fenirnore Cooper.

I sincerely regret that I cannot be with you. The stato of the weather puts it out or my power to make the journey. The object of the meeting has my entire sympathy. The works of Mr. Cooper have adorned and elevated our literature, There is nothing more purely American, in the highest sense of the word, than several of them.; In his department, lid is facile princeps. He wrote too mncli to write everything equally well; but his abundance flowed out of a full, original rnind, and his rapidity and variety bespoke a resolute and rnanly consciousness of power. If among his works there were some which, had be been longer spared to us, he would himself, on rc-considcration, have desired to recall, there are many more which the latest posterity " will not be willing to let die."

With much about him that was intensely national, we have but one other writer (Mr. Irving) as widely known abroad. Many of Cooper's novels were not only read nt every fireside in England, but were translated into every language of the European continent.

He owed a part of his inspiration to the magnificent nature which surrounded him ; to the lakes and'forests, and Indinn traditions and border life of your great State. It wouid have been ns difilcull lo create Leather Stocking any where out of New-York, or some State closely resembling it, as to create Don Quixote out of Spain. To have trained and possessed Fenirnore Cooper will be—is ulready—with justice one of our greatest boasts. But we cannot let you monopolize the care of his memory. We havs all rejoiced in his genius; we have all felt the fascination of his pen ; wc nil deplore his loss. You must allow us all to join you in doing honor to the name of our great American novelist.

I remain, dear sir, with great regard, Very truly, yours,

EDWARD EVERETT. Rev. RUFUS W. GKISWOLO.

STOCKBBIDOE, Mass., Sept. 23,1651, DEAR DOCTOR GRISWOLD: I regret extremely that it

will be out of my power to be present at the meeting to testify respect for tho memory of Jf r. Cooper. I grieve sincerely that so eminent a man is lost to his country and the world; nnd, although personally unacquainted witli him, I need hardly tell you how highly his abilities as an author were esteemed by,

Yours, faithfully, G. P. R.JAMES.

Letter from Governor Hunt. The following letter from Gov. HUST was

written in reply to an invitation to attend the Railroad Jubilee at Boston:

ALBASY, Sept. 8, 1651. CESTiEJfE.v: I have had the honor to receive your let-

icr, requesting me to unite with the municipal authorities of your city, in celebrating " the completion ofthe various lines of railway which connect Canada and the great West with the tide waters at Boston." I regret sincerely that my engagements are of such a nature as to preclude an acceptance ofyour invitation. You must permit me, however, to congratulate you'upon tho success which has crowned your efforts, and to express my admiration of the wisdom and energy displayed by yo'ur citizens in the completion of a system of improvements, alike honorable to the fame ofyour city, and conducive to its growth and prosperity. -

Wc, the people of New-York, claim to have some interest in the trade of the Great West, for which you arc reaching. Yet we have desired to act the part of friendly and„gcnorous neighbors towards you. We have seen youinyadjng. our soil, filling our valleys, bordering our mountains at some points, ievetling them at others, and

.turning your steam-engines loose upon us to run, up and t down,,roaming at:Jargo.throughout our borders. In

deed, it'has long bebn'eviderit'that you intended to-ride over us in the-efforts to entice away our western brethren. But no voice of complaint or of resistance has been heard. We are a patient and accommodating-people. Instead of employing our sovereignty to arrest your aggressions and repel your bold incursions, our Legislature has contributed largely to the success of your designs. I am somewhat curious to know at what point your next encroachments will begin. There are limits to human endurance, and I must warn you to-pause and take breath before making fresh tracks upon our territory.

Wc have never desired to monopolize the Western trade. After yielding to you a share sufficient to satisfy any but an inordinate and grasping ambition, enough will remain for us. A fair survey of the vast and fertile region beyond the Lakes, and a just estimate of" its resources, its rapid increase in population and production, and its wonderful progress in opening new communications, ought to extinguish all narrow, local jealousies among the States and cities of the seaboard. The exigencies of such a country demand a liberal and enlightened policy. Let us have ample room and free scope fer all. A manly and generous competition is beneficial to every interest. The vnst and swelling commerce of the Western Lakes will furnish full and profitable employment for all the artificial lines of communication that have been opened. Wo aro willing you should share with us in advantages proceeding from a source so inexhaustible. In my comtcmplation ofthe subject, I always feel that New-York can afford to be not only just but magnanimous. With great respect,

Your obed't servant, WASHINGTON HUNT.

Mr. Marsh's Health. From the New-York Observer.

Our readers will ho gratified to learn, from the following letter, received just at the moment of going to press, that Mr. Marsh, the American Minister at Constantinople, is recovering from the dangerous illness under which he was suffering at the date of our latest previous accounts:

HUMPIIREVSVILLE, Conn., Sept. 13,1851. MESSRS. EDITOKS—YOU state, in your last paper, that

Mr. Marsh. was dangerously sick at Safed. He was taken sick at the village of Mary Magdalene, which is in the Dead Sea valley, one hour from Tiberias, After a short time he was removed to Safed, which is some 2,000 feet above Tiberias, where Dr. Van Dyck and Mr. Thompson visited him, and by a letter received yesterday from Dr..De Forest, the means used were blest," and he is so far recovered as to go to Abeih, and the Dr. said ho thought he would soon be well, although Mrs. Marsh was still quite feeble. I have thought it might interest the friends of Mr. Marsh to state these facts, as the date ofthe Dr.'s letter is 14th of August, probably the latest intelligence from him. You probably know that Abeih is the Summer residence of most ofthe missionaries.

DUEL IN* THE STREETS OF BROWNSVILLE.—Wc learn by a gentleman recently from Brownsville, Texas, that a duel took place in the streets of that town on Sun-«ay last, which terminated fatally to one of the parties. "if- C'ark, an officer in the custom house, had a difficulty with Mr. Harry narr.son, which came near resulting in a duel, but was finally adjusted. Shortly after, the parties met in the Gem Coffee-house, when William Harrison, brother of Harry, renewed tho difficulty against his bro-titer's wish, and Clark agreed to go out in the streets. and fight him. ne borrowed narry Ilarrison's pistols. Seconds were chosen, and the parties went out on the, streets, measured off" tho distance, and fired nt the Word, Clark's pistols both missed fire, and ho received the ball of his adversary at tho same Arc, foil, and died in a few minutes.—,2V.

JEMIMA WILKINSON'S ESTATE.—The Dundee (Chemung County) Record, states that the possession ofthe ancient homestead of this remarkable woman, has become a matter or legal wrangling. Tho extensive property belonging to'Jemima, at Jerusalem, Yates Co., at her death, in 1819, came into the possession of two of her female followers, both of whom died without issue, and bequeathed it in portions to their relatives. The-homestead, a frame house, of extraordinary dimensions, and three or four hundred acres of land, were given to a. young woman, the niece of one of the original devisees She married a man named George Clark, who is represented to be intemperate, and quite unfitted to manage-the property. He has recently become involved in debts, and ndvaatage has been taken of this circumstance, to extort from him a deed of the estate, by a lawyer and another person, who lias coveted its possession for some. time,

Mrs. Clark is an invalid, and quite incapacitated by illness to understand or conduct a matter of buuiness.— It bcimg represented to Clark that the sum of $6000 was to be given for the property, which would release him-from debt, secure $5000 to his children and $1000 tt his wife, the deed was signed. But it is stated by the record that the deed expresses a consideration of only-§1250, a mortgage is given upon but a portion of the property, and the payments go to the lawyer who conducted' the transaction, and who was Clark's legal adviser, and. had gained his confidence. The debts which were to be released still stand against the Iattor. This is the history of the affair, given by The Record, which states that the subject is to be investigated by the Grand Jury.— The bequest gives the property to Mrs. Clark and the-" heirs ef her body," and a legal question arises on this point. In the section where the affair occurred, it is probably a matter of conversation The final disposition of an estate with which a strange and romantic history is connected, will be a subject of some general interest. ^ ^ _ _ _ _ _

MISSISSIPPI.—Nearly full returns in the Jackson Flag of the Union of tho I2th, show the election of. seventy-six Union and twelve State Rights or Sc.-essmn Dclecatcs to the proposed Convention from nil the counties Of Hint State but seven.

This is sightworthy, not only for its harmonious proportions, its internal decorat ions , and wealth of painted glass, and its lofty spi re , rising three hundred and fifty fectj'a dolicnto open lace-work of stone, but because it is almost the only complete specimen of ecclesiastical Gothic c f i t s time in Germany. It was built between 1122 and 1513. T h e Protestant Church, which is considered a fine example of the Romanesque or round- j arphed style, ono hardly knows whether to call ancient or modern. It vVas originally the Abboy Church of Thumbach, situated thirteen tmiles from here, The Protestants , wha hnvo only?very lately formed any considerable pdrt of the population of Freibourg, moved it, stono by stone, to its present s i te , and reconstructed it with very slight variation frbfa' the o r i g i i i a T p l a ^ ^ T h n ;pld gato-tbwers are still standing, about whioh.thoro is nothing remark-able, save a Very' good story that attaches to one of them. On the tower oyer St . .Martin's' g^te,; thero was a rough fresco, Workmen are now, repairing ii-4xepresonting the Saint in the act of sharing his d o a k with the, poor. A certain late traveler mistook the holy man for an Austrian dragooi, and expresses a surprise, mingled with some contempt, thnt;the city should carry its prejudice so far in favor of the house of Austria, as to saint the benifi-' cent acts of Austrian soldiers upon thetsity walls '! Tho careless blunder arose from an inscription underneath, which refers to the defense against tho French in 1796, at which t ime this region was under Austrian sway, • .,.'> , f

W h e n I had seen all these things, there was nothing left for my pleasure but the views from tho neighboring hills, and tri^joumal visits to the post-office and railroad bureau, in search of my trunk or tidings thereof, for my business, Mine host of the Golden Angel—a comfortable, commendable\ gasthof, is the A-ngcl—wretc a letter to Herr "Valentin Kah, pf the Goldeii Grapes, at Baden, which'I could not read, and to which no answer came ; then I wrote a letter to H e r r Kah which perhaps he could not rend, all about the trunk, and no answer came to that, Froibourgis rather a dull little city tliis time of year, and except lively fresh-water brooks that run through all i ts streets, little was moving in them. For two days it rained outright, arid two other days it fogged, and misted, nnd drizzled. At the close of the last, in the dearth of amusement, I went in company with a Swiss , from Lucerne, and a Frenchman from Paris , io a Tyrolese concert at a Gorman beer house—a jiolyglottic programme of an evening's entertainment. T h e Swiss was a shrewd courier, having an Englishman in charge, whom he invariably spoke of as ,

44 My gentleman." T h e Englishman, by the way, might rather be held as attached to tho courier than the courier to the Englishman, The Swiss did the traveling and saw the world, while " h i s gentleman" took his meals in private, and paid the bills, Admittance to the concert, which was in a large room set with tables, was free; but gentlemen were expected to order a glass or two of beer for the benefit of the house, and to put such coin as typified their appreciation of art, into the plate that was circulated, for the benefit of the " Hanh Family."

, Smoking and talking,were in order, and actively carried on by a crowded audience of citizens and students from the University/ Trie.ringing of a bel l by the Elder Hanri,' was the. signal for the commencement of the performances, 'and produced a partial lull. But in tho midst o f ' thc music,, trie beer-maids were gliding through the crowd, carrying full schoppins to thirsty customers,' and receiving kreuzers and compliments in return, The Swiss compared the concert with various ones that ho had attended in his t ravels ; the Parisian compared it with the concerts alfresco in the Champs Elysies I,' fearing that our national music, Christy and the Hutehinsons, might be unknown to my companions, Made no audible comparisons, .,•-•••

Contrary to rule, I ate, that night, a German sup-per , then went to bed, and, unfortunately; to sleep, U g h ! what d reams! ' Of long-tailed night-mares tearing on my chest like mad, dragging after them post-wagons, laden with phantom t r u n k s ; then thero came an elephant, with legs like tho Corinthian pillars of the Trinksaale, at Baden, spouting out hot mineral waters from an enormous t runk ; and the dream changed, and I was changed into a fragment cf the antique, a torso, all t runk, and fast buried under tho ruins of tho old Roman hot baths, in Baden, nnd vainly tried to wriggle mysolf out into the upper air, Luckily, the commotion in tho hall, attendant on the moving out of a Prussian officer, who was to leave, early in the morning, for Zaehrieger/

about midway between here and Basel. T h e road

passes through a well-tilled district, fruitful in grain

of all kinds, nmong them maize, which is mainly

used for cattle only ; in hemp, poppin, pear, apple,

mid walnut trees, the nuts of the latter yielding oil.

On tho left were the green hills of the Blackforest j

to tho right was the Kaiser Stuber, covered with

vineyards, tho valley of the Rhine, with its frequent

Villages and high cultivation: further west , tho

chain of Vorgoz; over all a soft thin haze. At

Badcnwciler, I hired a donkey and his driver, to

carry and guide me to the summit of the Bluncv,

which rises nearly to the height of 3,500. feet, This

riding donkey-back ' i s peculiar. One sits in a

cushioned chair, not unlike tho old-fashioned pil-

t ion ,on which our American grandmothers in tho

rural districts, rOdeUo church, with the feet resting

on a foot-board on one side. I tried it for half a

mile, and laiighed at the remembrance it brought up

of a certain funny rido with merry company, a year

ago, on Block Island. T h e driver followed behind,

and thwacked the poor beast unmercifully in tho

steepest places, The joggling movement might have

moved my bowels of compassion |still more, and out

pf regard to the animal and my own comfort, I dis

mounted. But the driver and his soitrco of incomo

faithfully stuck by me, up tho long path and back

rigaim Dowhj|t';,I would, I could not persuado tho

biped to let! thoxother stop and cat t i l l my return.

Tho prospect frem tho top of the Blamen was most

extensive. Beneath and far out to tho Eastorn hor-

ison, in huge steadfast green waves, lay tho lower

hills 'of the Sc'hwarzwald; Westward was the

Rhine, its islands, and broad valley, and the blue

Vozges; in tho South was Switzerland, the Jura,

the Alps. In a clear day, I was assured that tho

glaciers wero visible. Badenweiler was known of

old by the Romans, Tha t cleanly pcoplo erected

here extensive baths, the remains of which are still

in.such preservation as to show clearly the arrange

ment of its numerous apartments. T h e external

walls urc three hundred and twenty feet long, by

one hundred feet on the ends. The baths are now-

a-days much visited by Fronch and Swiss from over

the border ; Bazel and Mulheim. So nbnndnnt are

the warm springs, that cold water is hardly to bo

had. • The villagers are accustomed to drink this

warm water all their days. It has very slight min

eral properties, not perceptible to the taste. Tho

only virtue of the baths lies in their natural warmth.

As at other "water ing places," or springs, visiters

coino here more for recreation than the curb of their

diseases, and find it in the good air and • varied'

scencryof the place. On tho latter account it i s .

well worth a traveler's while to spend a day or two

t h e r e ; besido the natural scenery, thero are two

castles, one not ten minutes off from tho best hotel,

and the other on a height fome five miles distant,

mined down to the requisite romantic condition.

On returning to Freibourg, this morning, I found

the trunk, of which 1 think mention has already been

mndo, and a most courteous letter from Valentine

Kah, of the Golden Grape, at Baden. To-morrow

ny-STBFETs,—At 191 o'clock yesterday afternoon a lire broke out in the cabinet-shop of Mr. \Vm, Gullifer, No, 735 Greenwich-street, and before the flames' could be subdued, the shop and five dwellings were totally destroyed, as were also six or seven carmen's stables situated in the rear of the dwelling houses. Three •f the dwellings consumed are Nog. 106,108 and 110 Perry-street. Mr. Gullifer's loss will exceed $5,000, and no Insurance.

Since the above paragraph appeared in our evening edition of yesterday, we have obtained the following additional particulars respecting the destructive conflagration. The Are was first discovered in tho rear of Mr. Gullifer's cabinet manufactory, and before tho alarm was* sounded by the bells, or any eflort was made to check its progress, tho (lames had communicated with the varnished furniture, and thence to a range of wooden stables situated in the rear, and by the time the fire department arrived at the lire it was raging to a fearful extent, and; for sometime baflled all their exertions, In consequence of the Intense heat preventing thorn from getting near the burning buildings. They finally brought ten or" twelve powerful streams of water into requisition, and by unceasing energy they managed to deaden the flames and draw up nearer to the devouring element; by this time the cabinet shop and stables were laid in ruins, and the flames had extended to an adjoining brick dwelling on Greenwich-street (No, 733) and also to a large wooden bnjlding on the corner of Greenwich and Perry-streets, occupied as a dwelling and meat shop by Mr. Seaman Allaire. From this building they continued to spread rapidly, and in a fow seconds tho dwelling houses at Nos, 108 and 106 Perry-stfeet were enveloped in flames, and at one time it was feared the entire block toward'Hudson-street would fall a prey to the devastating element, which, howevor, was prevented by the noble firemen, who rendered efficient service, and are deserving of great credit.

Annexed wo give a list of tlio buildings destroyed, to-gether with tho names of the occupants, owners, losses, A c , as near as could be ascertained during the confusion and excitement.

No. 733 Greenwich-street, occupied by Mr. Gullifer, and owned by Messrs. W. & J. U. Harriott, the attic stories of which were entirely burned off.

No, 785 Greenwich-street, (tho cabinet-shop) to-gether with the furniture and cabinet ware, was totally consumed, and the loss to Mr. Gullifer will proba bly exceed #5,000, upon which he was not insured for a single dollar, and thus has lost his all. These premises, together with the stables, were owned by Messrs, W, o> J, B, Harriott, who are fully insured in the Greenwich Insurance Company, •' N6,737 Greenwlch:streot, (corner of Perry) was occupied as above stated, and was a total loss—uninsured. Owned by a widow lady residing at Jersey City, .... , No. 108Perry-streetwasoccupied \>y Henry Gledhill, boot-maker, and also ais a dwelling in tho' upper part.— If was entirely consumed, and is fully insured by the owner, whose name we could not learn, but who resides in the Sixth-avenue, ; , , : ,

No. 100 Perry-street is the property of Mr. Hanford Smith, residing in the Eighth-avenue. It was also burned to the ground, and the occupants, Mrs. Susan Gessner, Peter and John Carpenter, lost all their furniture, ' . • , . ' •

Crrv TEMPERANCE CoNVENTiON.-r-Pursuant to a call signed by L. M, Pease, L. L. Beck, Joseph Calvjr^ Lucian Burleigh, C. V. Illyonburgh, and L. D. Towsey, a convention of delegates irom each temperance society In.the city of New York, was hold, last evening at ••Notional Hall, Canal-street, 'tho object of which, appeared to bo a move to protect the community from the ravages or intompornnce, and also, having an eyo to politics, in tho way ofprimary and regular election, as will ho seen by'the following report. ' ;. ', '. ' '..'."''•.'•.'.'

, At 7i o'clock the largo room of the house became well Allied .with delegates, and others interested in tho result of the proceedings. „Tlev. L, .M. Poase called Hie Convention to order at 8,'o'clock; andon irio-tiqn Mr, Wmi', E. Dogdej;:,y/M, chosen Chairman of the CoBVcntipn, and Rev, Mr,; Barlojr'aiul;,R, N.,Hayen, were selected as 8ecrctaries..r-The,mcetliig' was thon ononcd wlthpr'iyer by Rov. Luther Lee,'who attended to the object of the.meetlng, and trusted • U,would result in giving a nowimpetus to^ tho" cnuse'of tomporaitco. and have a tendonoy to stay iho progress, of tho evlli,, ; > .

The call of the; Convention was hero, read by the Chairman, and they probeciled to business.' M|-.|l)odgo, tho Chairman, then arose and spoke In substance: ; Gen-tlomen, from the call of tho Convention which has just been read, to you, Jt ls.oyident, we, have. met lierato-eether to answer a most important question;" What can be done to prevent the "ravages of Intemporance J» A more important call was mever made upon you. _ Notwithstanding the alarming increase of Ifquor traffic, wo must not flinch, But endeavor to put It down, wo havo coaxed and Implored the rumseller to abandon hln business, but in vain, have wo worked, and wo yet hope to bring legal moral suasion in collision with tnoso trafllc-ers of alcohol. We havo mot here to stay tho progress or intemperance, and 1 hope you will express your candid opinions to-night, so that they may bo made to tell. with tho future destines In this City.

Rov. Mr. Poase here moved that .a commlttco of seven be appointed to. draft resolutions and prepare business for the consideration and action of tho Convention.

A Delegato here suggested the propriety or colling upon the Delegates to hand! in. their credentials, which suggestion was accepted, and the motion of Mr. Pause thou prevailed and was carried. Tho following gentlemen wero selected by the C|ialr as said Committee: C. V, Rivenburgh, L . M , Pease, J. C. Warren, C. C. North, Charles,Sclmficr, Mr. W. Cornell, and II. A. Norton. The Committee hero retired to an anto-room for deliberation.

A call was made by the Chairman Tor ex-Mayor Hall, or Brooklyn, to address the'.Coiiveiitlon, who came forward upon tho platform and mild he wished the Convention God speed In the great and glorious work. Wo in Brooklyn, lienrd you in New-York, were making a movo and about doing something to prosccuto your claims boforo the next election. In order, to assist you In the Convention, we. como over the river to bo. with'you. It is time something was done, for moral suasion will not prove effectual in stopping the traffic or liquor. The mere reformation iof the drunkard .will not answer the purpose. The drunkard must not only bo refbrmed, but the politicians must have a reformation In their ranks. As things now stand, both Whig and Democrntio pollutions live and grow fat Jon tho grog shopilnfluence. I don't mean tho voters, but) moan, tho scoundrolH put In bfllco by their votes. I now soy as a Whig, that wo nover had a bigger sot or scamps nnd rascals In offices, than we havo in the Commonality or Brooklyn at the present period: 'they grant licenses to all rum .sellers who apply, a n d ! hope their time is short. . , The next speaker.was Mr, Woodruff, who arose and said ho had just recovered from a sick bed, but ho could not refuse to address so respectable and intelligent a class of citizens as here assembled. He had been an advocate of the temperance cause for many long years, and he was satisfied that legal suasion for tho rumsoller was just what thoy wantod; this, he said, was the result of long experience, and he knew ft to be so. My. health will not admit of my claiming your attention but a fow minutes longer, (cries of go on! go on !)and In the mean time I will say to you that I have had an opportunity to know what was going on behind the scenes In political matters for several years pasl, and also flie manner in which tlio.wlres aro pullod at primary elections. Everything is cut and carved with rum influence, and finally a ticket assumes a positive slihpe, and tho modus operandi of them aro based upon the individual interest or the office seeker, .who seeks liquor.Influence to elect him. I hope tho (cinporance men of the city nnd Stnto will take Immodlato steps as Independent voters, nnd never stop until tho "tables are turned," in order that rum-sellers will not have control ofprimary elections; mako your arrangements as "a unit ; mnko tho aspirant for office do as you aay, and make him feel, that without your votes he ennnot bo eloctcd, and that if he has such vous, ho must bo pledged to support tempcranco principles, and ultimately give you a law that will legally abandon tho snloof aplrltous liquors. Tho speaker concluded by hoping the proceedings or tho Convention would have the desired eflect, •

Rev. Mr.: Putney, of the Jane-street Church, was next called upon, and took the stand. He made a powerful speech on tho temperance question, nnd In the course of his remarks, Indirectly touched upon politics. Ho trusted something would be done to bring tho power of legal suasion Into effect, and, in conclusion, reminded his hearors or the ballot-box.

Hero thoCommitteo returned, and submitted a lengthy report, together with a scries ofreHolollons, which, alter a long and tedious debate, ..were severally passed. Annexed we Insert the third resolution, which was the only one of importance to the community at large,

sufficient to remove the liquor traffic and lt« oviU, and that the time has now arrived when wo must try that last anneal of the moral power of a free people—the ballot-lmx.

Tho balanco ofthe resolutions were mostly a repetition of those passed at former Temperance meetings, and owing to tho crowded state of our columns wo omit them in this report.

The Committee reported in favor or forming a " Stato Temperance Alliance Committee," and to carry forward its object the following gentlemen wero chosen by the Convention as a Committee to draft a Constitution, with instructions to report atthe next session. Messrs. Blackman, Havens, Buckman, Pease, Warren, Oliver and Price are tho committee.

At this stage or the proceedings, Mr. Havens offered a resolution, culling upon the temperance people in tho various wards or our city to form thoir committees and nominnte their candidates for officers.

It was supported by Dr. Manson or tho Ninth Ward, who hoped a. temperance political platform would at once bo established, that the Empire City and State might be redeemed this fal l . . '

Isaac Oliver, •. of the Eighteenth Ward, opposed any such movement, by saying "How can we think or electing a single candidate at a political contest 1 Wo can't do i t ; all we can do is, to organize in the different Wards, and hold tho balance oi power to be swayed toward such as would support the tempcranco principles,"

Delegate—I concur with the last speaker. It's no uw talking about carrying elections at this timo. [A voice— Got organized before you think or carrying an election.]

At a Into hour a collection to defray expenses of tho Hall was taken up, and the Convention then adjourned to hold another sossion on Friday evening next.

DARI.NO BUKULAKY IX AN EXUIIANOR O F F I C E . —Yesterday afternoon, between the noun or 12 and 1 o'clock, a bold and daring burglary was committed on an exchange office in Chambers-street, of which the following are the particulars; It appears Mr, Lemuel W, Parkes keeps a bullion and exchange office nt No. 704 Chamherw-strect, under the south-west wing or the Irving House, and In the absence or his clerk he was obliged to lenvo the office under lock and key while

i down town disposing of several hundred dollars uncur-rent funds. Previous to leaving the premises he observed a ymmg man lurking about in tho vicinity, but at tho time did not suspect him or being a thief, and therefore locked his doors and proceeded a ohort diatance down Broadway, where ho transacted his financial affairs, and hastened back to his place of business; upon reaching the corner of Broadway and Chambers-street. opposite tho jewelry establishment of Messrs. TifTany, Young & Ellis, he spied this samo Individual, (whom he had seen before) in the act of leaving hlR office in great haute, which at once led him to believe that his office had been entered, and as he arrived at the door he discovered it had been opened with ftilse keys during his brlof absence, and robbed of gold coin ana bank bills to a largo amount. Mr. Parkes immediately pursued the fellow alluded to above, and while doing so tho daring rogueglunced his eyca around and seeing somo one was on his trail, ho took to his heels and darted through Church-street at a deer's pace. After* a hot chase or several blocks, tho thler was overtaken by Mr. Parkes, who seized him by the throat, and held him within his grasp for a fow minutes, when Captain Monneypenny, of the Fifth Patrol District, came up and arrested the villain. He .was searched on the spot, and $172 dollars in gold Eagles and Bank Bills was found in his possession, which, was clearly identified as the property of Mr. Parkes, A skeleton key was also found.in the pocket of the prisoner, which was no doubt tho instrument used by him In effecting tho entrance into the Exchange offico.' The accused was flnnlly conveyed to the Tombs, where he gave tllo name or George Wilson, and after the necessary affidavit was taken against htm by Mr. Sidney H. Stuart, the efficient Clerk of Police, he was fully committed to the City Prison for trial by Justice Osborne.

' C I R C U I T C O U R T — B e f o r e J u d g e KINO—Z,e» t Fowler vs. Maxwell 4- Parsons,—In this case the defendants wore sued as common carriers to recover the value or sundry packages or tea, rice, and tobacco, which they were alleged to have contracted to transport from Now-York, to Port Stanley, Canada West. It appeared in evidence that tire goods wore shipped in October, 1840, on board the Eckford Line or tow-boats, of which the defendants were owners.' That an agreement had been mado for the freight; between a Mr. Caggin on the part of the defendants and an agent of the plaintiffs, and it was expected the goods would be at their destination in a month. The consignees waited until the following January, and then learnt tha't'thoy were lost in a schooner which had boon wrecked on Lako Ontario.1 The defense set up was that •. Caggin had no authority to bind the defendants, that If ho had, they wore not liable for any loss beyond Albany, as they,were merely forwarders, and lastly that as the goods'were lost on Lako Ontario, it was by the act of,Goo. for which common carriers wero not to be held responsible. r

Tho Court chanted that l fwas for tho Jury to decide what interest the defendants had in this lino of boata so as to render them liable, in an , action as Common ,Car-. riers.

It had been stated that Caggin had no authority to bind the defendants, and if that was so, then there was no contract, and on this point the Jury must be satisfied whether Caggin was an agent of the defendants. If he was. the Jury would Inquire if the defendants were engnged in the transportation of goods byway orthe Lakes to Canada, i rso , are they responsible for loss by the Canada line, or only as forwarders as far as Albany.

N O R T H - B R OOKXYN.—Brooklyn ul t imately m u s t

become the most populous city in the country—as well as one occupying the greatest extent or territory. Her position alongside the great commercial city or the Western World, and the advantages she offers for residences to those doing business in the metropolis, must, in point or population at least, place ber at the head or American cities. The rapid growth or our city and the extensive and valuable improvements going on in every direction are indeed surprising.

Perhaps there is no section of the city so little known to a vast majority of our citizens as that portion denominated "North-Brooklyn." Few are aware either, that the boundaries of Brooklyn extend so far in a northerly direction, or that this is one of the most com manding and delightful localities in the town.

Where but a few years ago were to be seen fine farms and garden Holds/and the good old-fashioned stone walls, we to-day find broad, paved streets, splendid dwellings, busy mechanics' shopB and massive factories. Nordoes the neighborhood lack its church—" Christ Church in the fields," One who has not been in this section of Brooklyn within two or three years, would scarcely recognize it as the same locality. Hundreds of acres have, within that period, been converted into streets and avenues, laid out into lots—many covered with pretty cottages or more costly mansions.

Bedford and Division-avenues stretch their long broad lines for miles through the fields, in direction of East New-York. Jamaica, Flatbush, and a half score of other beautiful rural towns on Long Island, and over which are already plying at all hours of the day, established and commodious lines of omnibuses, and this, too, in a section or Brooklyn, two years ago occupied entirely for forming purposes. On Bedford-avenue, between Divi-sion-avenu'e and Morton-street, we notice the erection of a block of fine houses, as splendid, costly and commodious as any to be found in the'city, an evidence that this section of Brooklyn is to be a favorite one with the wealthier class ofthe community. The progress or Brooklyn is onward.

The affairs ofthe Association are under the management of a Directress a Treasurer, a Secretary and Assistant Secretary, and a Finance Committee, consisting or three. They hold meetings once a week in order to contribute by their industry. Any lady or gentleman can become a member by contributing annually the sum of one dollar.

The cars had obtained consid:rablo headway, and although the engineer reversed the engine, it seemed to the bystanders that instant .leath.

j wonld be the rate of the occupants ofthe carriage, which. undoubtedlywould have been the case if one of the men employed on the the train had not, with great presence or mind, jumped from the cars nnd placed a stick of wood before the wheels, thereby stopping the tram just as the locomotive caineup with the carriage, and striking it with force enough to break in the panels, and otherwise injuring it. The cars were backed, and tho occupants or the carriage, two respectable elderly ladies, were taken out unharmed, though badly frightened. - The driver of the carriage acted manftilly throught the whole affair, sticking to his horses and preventing them from becoming diBengaged. No blame can be attached to those in charge of the train; to the contrary they deserve great credit for their exertions to prevent a collision, which must have been very serious.

ENGLAND. The Arctic Expedition.

Vrom The LonCon Mornino Chronicle. In publishing tho dispatches wliidi announced tUo

wholly nnoxpoctod arrival of Captain Penny from tho Arctic regions, and tho return, to be looked lor in a fbw days or weol(s, of Captain Auston's entire squadron, we ivero reluctant to offer an opinion upon n subject of such «lecp importance, as ailbcting tlio roscuo or tho abandonment o( our hapless countrymen, \yhom hcso oxpedl-tions were sent to seek. Wo havo liow, however, Ibrm-ed a deliberate judgment as to whot should be the result ofthis most unexpected event. Wo say unwKc crf, because it.is dUIIcult (o*roaiiKO tlie motives which can kavo induced this, as i t appears to us, most premature Blep.' .

And first, one important point has been gained; it is inferior in value only to that of the actual discovery of the missing expedition.. It Is established beyond any roasonablo doubt that Sir John Franklin proceeded nortU-nwest from Wellington Channel. The Cdasts of Barrow'* Straits havO'boon explored westward past Capo • Walker, to.BanH's Land; also (on the North side) as Ihr as the western extremity of Melville Island,' withom llnding any (\irther traces, or any channel through •which the Erebus and Terror could havo passed \ and,-apparently, there exists scarcely a possibility that ttio • missing expedition has boon ablo to And a passage out of Harrow's Straits to the sootli-wost. Wo havo, therefore, no doubt that Sir John Franklin was unable to carry out tho first part of his instructions, and thot he resorted to the alternative of endeavoring to make the

• north-west passage in a higher latitude from Wellington Channel, ;,,

or this llBct, Capt. Penny's discoveries appear to us to leave no doubt. Having ascertained, from tho traces found at Capo Rlloy, (of which information and proof •was brought home last year, by tho Prince Albert,) that tho expedition had passed tlie winter of 1845-0 on this HPpt, Copt, Penny directed his traveling parties, in tlie Spring oftliis year, to tho coasts of Wellington Channel, In a irorthcrly direction. By moans of these parlies, it •was oscertainedthat the channel turned off to the north-•west, continuing of groat breodih, and having a rapid current. The coasts on both sides were pursued for a distance of above 180 miles from. Harrow's Straits, ond the channel was seen to extend In the some direction for 00 miles beyond tho last point reuolied. No reasonable man can suppose that, with such an opening boforo Ilim, in the very course prusorlbod as his single altoraa-tlve. Sir J»hn Franklin Would hesitate to take It.

Capt. Penny found a heavy barrier of ice In Wellington Channel, not very Ihr from its opening from Barrow s Straits, but a most remarkable change was observed as ho passed to a more northern lalltucle; tlie Ice which ho Imd lofr (as is usuntht tiii)iearly season, April and May,) Arm ond solid, was hero decayed and unsafe, and at last the travelers came upon oiien water, drift-wood, Arctic animals and birds—tho latter in enormous numbers. Here were all the signs of an Improved cltmat". Now, •with signs so indisputably hopeful, will any one soy that Sir John Franklin's party are not still living, though unable to^cxirlcato themselves from tho groat northern ocean into which they have plunged I ,. i , ,. .

.Thoqiiostion of. direction Is reduobd to a certainty: it remolns to bo ascbrtainod whether England cannot find the men and the means to follow'whore our gollont friends have led. We suy, then, let all our energies, our lesources, be directed to this point. Captain Peniiy, wo understand, is at this moment pleading oarnostly fbr a powcrftU steamer, with which he may return immediate-diately to.tliq search. If this be granted him fi>rili\vlth— and we cannot, dndAvill not believe It possible that his application can bo rejected—ho Is prepared to proceed •without a moment's delay to I,ancaster Sound, which ho

. Is persuaded ho can,roach (with such oJHictlvo agency, liut not otherwise) before tho ice closes in fbr the winter.

Nothing, ho says, can yonqulsh the. dKhculties which mopped the sqtiadron from pursuing the course opened • to them, but tlio irresistible might of steam,

It Is also alleged that, had tho searching squadron been awaro that tho provisions deposited by the iVortA Star, were actually within their reach, to fall back upon, and iiot, as they supposed, at Disco, they would have derived front the fact a support which; In their ignorance, lyas denied them. Our readers cannot have forgotten that we repeatedly urged this Ihct, last Spring, as affording an additional and overwhelming Induceinontto sending out a steamer to Barrow's Straits! and wo now wring forward the direful consequences of this neglect. as a warning for tho (\uuro. llad the Ocsnerat* bceii fientoutat the promised moment, eorly lu last Spring, >T0 should have been spared .columns of argument and entreaty, and the hearts of many would not havo been, as now, wrung with bjtter.disappointment. We feel that, to conjure the Admiralty to repair, without delay, the mischief which lias arisen, is but to spcaliwlth tho nation's voice, of which tho OCIIQ has already coino to lu across tho Atlantic.

» Cnha nnd tLe United Slates.

The Times has a very long and elaborate article on the relations of Cuba to the United States. It speaks at length of tho obligations of every nation to conform to those general rules of law which aro established by tho opinions of tho civilized world, nnd sets forth tho reasons why those rules should bo especially binding on tho United States. The 'TniiM thqn proceeds ns follows:

, In the United Stwea, tho poopiogovom, and their roso lutions are maniffest by law alone. No despotic will Is by the spirit of the Constitution, permitted to have sway Tho preaetentilnod ruleof tho.lawis supposed to bo paramount, «nd to govern with its infloxiblo •\yill and con -inand, not merely Individuals, but the whole commitnlty, Just as no single man can,- by his mora volltlonV determine for the community, so no body of men, none, In short, but the whole community, acting according to forms pre-arranged, can adopt resolutions for tho State. A nwb in a great city—tho great city Itself—nay, the State ofwhich it may be tho metropolis—Is, according to the law and tho spirit of tho ConstitiUlon, as much without power to act In tho name of the people of the United States, as a single Individual; and wore the Pre-sident, to-morrow, by his single authority, lo declare war against a foreign Power, and call out tho ormlesand fleets of the Republic in support of his warlike resolves, he would not bo guilty ot a more flagrant violation of the law and more criminal breach of bis duty, than would a band of unauthori'/;ed Ihdividuols, no matter how numerous, powerful, or respected, Who should, upon their own mere motion, commence hostilities npon-a neighboring people. There is, in tho United states, os tliero.must be In all commtmities assuming to bo oivl-li7.cd, niid'profcssing to bo governed by law, a sneclllod authority by which communications with fbreign powers are carried on; there is also a rplo as to the mode in Which such communications are to bo conducted, and ony departure from this mode, any encroachment upon the defined powers of the constituted authority, by which Intornationol intercourse Is to bo conducted, is not merely a violation of international law, but also of tho Constftution of the United States, and the violation is as signal and as mischievous when tho work of many

' IIS of ono,

This regulation of tho American Constitution is in accordance with, and is supported by-the general rides of international morality. SVar, levied by individuals, and without tho authority of a sovereign State, is by this international law adjudged to bo piracy. They who tiius levy war aro pirates, are without tho pale of tho law, and are deemed tho enemies not merely of the country they unjustly attack, but of the wholo clvllijod world. Those, however,, who woidd more than all others be bound to repress such a breach of the most sacred obligations of law and morality, would, in this case, be the people of America themselves; and If wo apply these rules to the late proceedings of tho piratical and marauding band who attacked Cuba, and to tho conduct of certain assemblies of American citizens, who met to discuss, to approve, and defend this outrage upon the elvillzed world, we shall not be at a loss as to wnat judgment).wo are to form either with respect to the original piracy, or the subsequent opprbval of It: neither con we bo In doubt as to what will bo the course of conduct which tho United States should feel bonnd to pursue upon the occasion. If, under:circumstances such 8 those which havo occurred, any' Oovernniont BhouHeitherbownip/Wiiwor jftwWe to ilo what the comity of nations demands of It, such a Government would necessarily incur the contempt and excite tho in-digaation of every civilized community. We connot bo-llevo,- from our knowledge of the men who compose it, that the Amorlean Government vrmWimviilliUg to per-Ibrm its duty,' We are sure, from what wo knov,' of tho ConstituUon of the United States, there i« no real lack of power to enforce in thia case the dictates nf common jrrmlence and common honesty upon the nation at large.

Spain and the United States aro not merely allied, they are friendly nations. Tho wetched subterfuge to which Mr. Aslibol Smith had recourse in our columns some days since, in order lo justify an attack upon Cuba, cannot by possibility be accepted by tho President of the United States and his Government upon this occasion. There is no quarrel between the United. States and Spain, neithcr»can any pretext for a nuarrol be found in the conduct of certain Englishmen who choose to advocate the nbblUion of slavery In Cuba. Tho circumstances which have led to this outrageous aggression liavo no connection with slavery or the doings, wise or unwise, of English Aboliiienists. There aro In tho United States, moro especially towards tho South, largo bands of men desperate in fortune, loose In their morality, and reckless and daring in conduct. To ruflians of this description tho excitement of a marauding oxpcdi-Uon, together with tho hope of plunder to result fVom it, Is absolutely irresistible. Hold out to thoni o chanco of success, and ihey would join In an expedition against London, Liverpool, or Now-York, with the same olacrl-U'as that which they evinced when Invited to attack Cuba. • This buccaneering spirit was the first moving cause to this unprovoked outrage- A love of excitement. and of plunder moved the auacking bands to action. The circumstrinces -wbich havo induced an expression of sympathy with these pirates are, Iiowover of a somewhat diflbrcnt description. We are quite ready to suppose that the execution In cold blood of fifty gallant, though unprincipled youths, by tho Spanish authorities, shocked many who in no woy sympathized with the objects or JnstiOcd the condnctof tho unfbrtunato sufferers on this occasion. Feelings of national vanity were quickly mixed up with tho anger roused by the inhumanity of the execution; and thus a somewhat generous sentiment, ond an almost pardons Wo weaknoss,contributed almost simultaneously to a sudden outburst of passion. Tiiere aro also some politicians in the United States who consider Cuba an exceedingly dc-sirBblo acquisition for their country, and \vho view with undisguised sntisfhction any events •which may tend to brlrigit about.' These men Join the sympathizBrs, niid swell the shotit which demands revenge and seeks to enforce punishment.- If to these wo add all who belong to tile, class of thoso wliosuirdrrod, vlzj.aHtlioldlo, reckless buccaneers who still remain in the United States, and are eager (br the fray, wo shall understand the nature of the cry raised, and its probable influence upon the sober-minded Oorornment of the United Stales. TJial Government cannot fhll to lament tho Inadvertence-to give It no other name—which permitted the expedition against Cuba to sail, and they ought honcefbrth to exercise with proper energy tho power which tho law gives them to piu. down every attempt to tenew such an outrage ujion tho comity of nations. Themselves enlightened, aad obeying the dictates of a severe morality, they should be among the first to acknowledge that hesitation or weakness on their part would now bo a glaring violation of the sacred duties Imposed on them, alike by their position, by a regard for tho true interests of tlio United States, and by a worthy consideration of the general wel-fare of mankind.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. ]3, ISM.

Still the human tide rolls outward, and tho mania for emigration seems lo pervade the entire rural population, The large remittances from Irish settlers in America, accompanied by glowing accounts of tho prospects of the fhrmer, the artisan, and the laborer In iha.t " land of promise," have spread among all classes on eager desire to make tlielr way across the Atlantlo. All, oven household sonants, are hoarding their small savings to enable them to emigrate. At Klllarney, tlie boatnion on tho lakes Inlhrm tourists (hat they aro putting by every shliling during this jirosperous season to pay their passage to; tho United States. Even among the constabulary, a most ofllclent and comparatively well-paid Ibrco, into which It had been dlfllcult to obtain adraisslon,.tho,rage fbr.emigration has.extended;, apd it is slated that niany of the'atib'-^dnfttabl^s in the^sonth aro sending In tKefr.rfsign^tlo^s."

Wo ore aware that one eminent wholesale house in Cork receives fVom its comilry customers an average of moro than XaoOa-week in those bills."

THE IlAnvKsT.—The remarkable fineness of the weather is enabling the fhrmers. In nil parts of Con-nought, and In tho moro northern districts of Ulstor, to complete tho gathering of their cereal crops.' This month is usually called •* the poor man's harvest lime:" and never, perhaps, lias there been a more fhvorable season. There aro now comparatively fbw small ftarm-ors or cottiers—a class who, in ibrmer years, made up their harvest towards the close of Seiitomber. The accounts of tho yield and quality of tho grain crops aro of the most encouraging nature.' There aro still complaints of potato disease, but the blight is partial, and tho market price is advancing In some plaeos, owing to the subsidence of alarm.

SPAIN. Tho Cuban Question in Spain. From the London Morning Chronicle.

MADRID, Sept. 6, leji. The oflhirs and prospects of Cuba ore the subject of

greatest interest lioro at this moment. The (lazelte to-day contains a (olegranhio dispatch announcing tho landing and'dcstructlon ol the Lopez expedition, in tho following terms: 'ne Miniiter rieiiipoltnliarv of Her Majaty to the Minister

of Foreign Affairs. , , , , . „ , , PAniS, Sept, J -m A.M. It is known by offlcinl accounts tlinl tho pirates conimaiul-

cd by Lopez has dliohibarkcd on tiie lltli near Baliia Honda. and that on tho 13th Uiey were dc»troyod by the troops of Oonornl Lnno. The remains of tlio faction wore pursued by the cojiiitry neople,ttud flity pirnlos liad been siiot at Havana on the ICtii. '

I mentioned in my lost letter how decidedly the French Government hod come fbr vorll In support of Spanish interests in Cuba, and:that I was not aware what our Government would do in tho matter. I now loam that the English Oovemment will not only.do nothingJtdr Spain-in the Cubamqueslien,,hut ,hove,yery uselessly and imnolitically, cawerf o» much to be signified to the Spanish Government, which, when It Is considered that it is the unanimous policy of all parties here, without exception, to retain Cuba at all costs, shows ot ony rate that Lord Palmerston sots very lltdo voluo on presorv-ingany Influence that may havo been acquired by the British Envoy at this Court. It Is a (hvorlto notion in some quarters that Spain must lose Cuba, and perhaps tho anticipation of the loss is not regarded with feelings of very great regrel by such parties; nevertheless, it might easily bo shown that no ono object of Sritish policy would be promoted by a chongo whlcli would substl-tuto tho stars and sirjjics of tho Amorloan Union Ibr tho banner, of Castllle, I'ho anti-slavery couso would certainly not be promoted by it. Tlie present Captaln-Gen-orol. General J. Concha, is believed to be desirous to repress tho slave trade, and gradually to extinguish slavery Itself; but annexation would mako ft, to all present appearance, perpetual. Then, again, tho Spanish Government have drawn upon tho surplus revenues of Cuba to tho amount of eighty million of reals, which, under Uie most favorable circumstances, It Will probably take two years or moro to pay off; and.shbum this source fhll, the Bank, and other parties who have taken the bills, must be indem-nillcd out of other revenues, and It may-be judged what chance there would bo of the arrangemonl of the public debt being'fulfilled under such circumstances. The prompt putting dowa of the Aguero insurrection, and the destruction of tho Lopez expedition, will perhaps give a breathing-time to Spafn,'which, it is to bo lioped, will be used to place things in better order In this Island and her other colonies. One practlcol evil has been tlie division, and often opposition, of tho colonial powers.

AUSTRIA. • , • ,,i . VIENNA, Sept lij, 1851. Tho alliance that has just been formed between

Prussia and Hanover, by virtue of which tho tariff of duties of the latter power is adoiitod by Prussia and tho German Zoll union, hos excited much attention here. Tlio measure is considered important, as it increases the commercial Influence of Prussia in tho north of Germany, which is notoriously devoted to ft^ee-trode principles. Even supposing Southcra Germany to withdraw from tho Swllvereln in consequence of this step, Prussia will still bo the gainer, ostho towns on the North Sea coast are sure to join tho league oftho Zohveroin.

A notice appeared In the Gazette this morning, the perusal of which has caused a gonontl (feeling of pain and disgust. Sapphlr, the author, whose arrest was announced to you, Is now officiaily declared to be guilty of having recently published, In his/fumorwr, articles opposed to the Government, and of a pomicious nnd exciting tendency. lie is, therefore, condemned to tliree montlis' military incarceration, and the suspension of his joumoi ibrthoi period. Sapphir is o converted Jew, and 0 Protestant, his age 50 yeors, ond a Hungarian by birth. The ortlclo which gave oflfense appeored, I think, oil tho !J8th ultimo. It was a strange ond wonderftil mixture of tlio comic and tho grove, tho pathetic and the burlesque—l\ill of the most extravagant sallies of wit ond burning Indignation ot the imperial edicts, skilil\illy dressed up in language of doable slgniflcotion. Tlio burden of the whole outburst is a lamentation over a lost mind—on eclipsed understanding;'but the English language is not capable of giving on adequate Idea of ony of Sopphlr's productions, as their charm is derived chiefly from the elosllclty of the German language, whlch,:ln the hands of this marvellous punster, is made to assume fonns arid express ideas that are not adopted, or susceptible of adaptation, to the English model.

" Before Mr, Sparks wroie the life of Benedict Arnold, In which he details the facts attending this memorable massacre, he visited the region where it occurred, in-search of any new evidence that miglit be found on the subject. He there found on old soldier who was one of the scouts, on whom Lossmg charges Jane's • death. That soldier afllrmed, with all the mlnutlo of description, that ho saw tho wholo transaction, saw, from his covert a few rods off, the chief kill Miss McRea, scalp her, and shake ilie scalp in triumph,'at,his rival chief who had first token charge of her. Mr. Sparks then visited General Morgan Lews, who; having been in Gates' army, present at the investigation above named, and, we think, at, or very near, the place of massacre at the, time, (\illy confirmed tlie old soldier's account, and established beyond dispute, tho old and only true version of the death of MissMcReo.

The Ore spread with such alarming rapidity, owing to the furious gale that was raging, that the efforts of the Are department were perfectly powerless. t It was only about eight minutes after Eaton's planlng-mill caught that the roof fell in; instantaneously the flames spread tlirongh the whole building, bursting out on every side, There were a great many mechanics' shops filled with combustibles, wiilcli also added fuel to the flames, and contributed lo make the fire wholly unmanageable. ;

JOHN R . LIVINOSTON.—The death of John R. Livingston, Esq., is announced at Red Hook, at the remarkable age of 08—almost a century old. .Ickn R.

; Livingston has been the survivor of, a very remarkable and distinguished fiunlly. The most eminent of the family were ChanceUor Livingston, of New-York, and the celebrated Edward Livingston, of Louisiana. Chancellor Livingston wns for years and' years a name of renown In New-York, and yet sheds luster over aB of the. family. His Infiuenco and power, csoperoMng with the indefatigable and eloquent Alexander Hamilton, backed almost alone by the City of New-York, with about the whole interior against tliem, carried the Federal Constitution through ot Poughkeepsle, but only by a smoll vole. Subsequently, he had the honor of administering the first oath of Inaugurationto George Washington, under that Constitution, on the spot where the Custom House now is, in Wall-street, opposite the Express office. He attenvards became tho patron of Robert Fulton, and of steam generally,—and to such patronage and money as he contributed lo steam enterprise, the country is now in a good degree indebted for its astonishing advancement. Edward Livingston, the other eminent brother, was Moyor of the City, Senator in Congress from this State, Minister Plenipotentiary to France, subsequently Senator In Congress from Loui. sna, also the rcRowned eodifier of its lows,-then Secretary of State under General Jackson, and, no doubt, the vrriter of his celebrated Proclamation against the NuiUflers of South Carolina in 1832.,

Another brother .was Peter R. Livingston, well known in the political onnols of the State, both as a Democrat and o Whig; In 1839, we think it was, we well remember how his eloquence, thougli his flrsme was then quivering with age, made the multitude thriU in Masonic HaU. New-York had about that period been for tho first time able to recover from the storm of Jocksonism, ond the recovery oftho great State so inspired the Whigs of the Union, that they visited here,in delegation, to con-grolulate ns, Old Peter R. was the orator who welcomed them ; and the •welcome he gave thein .was worthy of the Inspirotlon of the victory, and of the then great occasion.

The sisters of this fomlly were In their alliances rc-markoblo,-and hence the famfiy was one not only of renown, but of real power in the State ond Country. One of thiem wos Mrs. Montgomery, llie wife of Major-Gen-eral Montgomery, who fell under tho walls of Quebec, covered with glory. Another was Mrs. MoirganLewis.wifcof the Governor of the Stale, Major-Generul in the United Slates Army, appointed bj- Mr. Madison, Quarter-Master iii the Army, duririg the Revolution,' and present at the surrender of Bnrgoyne. Another was .the wfffe of John Armstrong, Secretary at War under Mr. Madison, when Washington wos captured by the British, ond the reputed author of tho celebroted Newburgh Letters. The other Bisters were Mrs. 'I'iUotsbn, wiffe of Col. Tillotson, 0 distinguislieil writer nnd politician, and Mrs. Garret-son, wiffe of Rev, Mr. Corrctson of Rhincbeck, a Divine of some note. , , • '

The Livingston Ihmily had In their day, great estates on tho North River—such as are now on Jopies River, (Vfl.) ond in other Soutiiera States—ond some of these estates yet remain in the family. Jolin R. Livingston, some fifteen years ago, retired to one of Ihemjat Red Hook, wliere he has iiveii ns a country gentlerhan in a stylo quite unknown to the hundred acre former,' He was more than half o century ago one of our, principal merchants, and he lived in Broadway (whereMrs Piuni-er'sBrsadway House now is) In great style, and entertained with princely hospitalith5s,—ExpreM.

'"_• ELIZA COOK,

The authors nnd tho authoress named above, being about to visit Amoricn, wo shnll present our renders with pen-portraits of them, All three arc well known in this country; thoir works are hero extensivoly circulated, and somo "notions" of'their outside appearances may not be unwelcome. '* • •

Wo will commence first with tho lady. Who has not heard of Miss Eliza Cook; a lady

ivhosc " Old Arm Chair" must be familiar to thousands? We will take it for granted that she is popular, but stio is not a poetess for all that.

It may be that we shall be abused for the expression of our opinion that Miss Cook-has written a vast lot of silly verses, and perhaps some fair writer will, nfter tho perusal of this sketch, sit down with flashing eye and curling lip; to undertake tho defence of our rhyming subject and suggest that silly poetry can do no harm. That would be a terrible mistake.

Some day wo may write nn essay on " Nonsonso ' verses," but at present wo must bo a skctcher—not a critic.

About five years ago wo were invited by a publisher then residing in London, to meet Eliza Cook' sit his'friendly dinnor-tnble. So at 6 o'clock we " Cabbed it" to M place, and after a chat with our host, the ladies wore announced.

Wo had frequently seen portraits of Miss Cook, and one especially had amazed us—it was that portrait which was issued byjjT^e Weekly Dispatch, and which now,''wo hear, ornaments most of the publichouse bars in London, so wo could not well bo surprised at the half Bloomerish appearance of the lady, -

She was" dressed—and, dear reader, bear in mind that it was on a hot July ovening—in a staring red plaid dress; on her wrists were cuds of sable fur, nt least two inches dcop, her hair was dressed in a man-ish fashion, and her nock was encircled with a frill, whose two extremities were confined in a point at her waist. As she rather sauntered than walked into the drawing-room, she looked red hot, and certain aro we that no Insurance office would have granted her a policy except upon trcbly-hazard* ous terms.

Now for her face, and that may be briefly do-scribed : she hnd largo blue_ eyes, with heavy lids, a thick nose, flat flabby cheeks,5 a pretty passable mouth, and a double chin. Her figure was thick-set nud by no means sylphish,

It fell to our lot to lead Miss Cook to the dinner table, Her conversation was smart enough, but remarkable rather for extension than depth. To the soup she paid great attention, and wo fancied that her connection with Alderman Harmcr might have induced her love of tho turtle.

Miss Cook was for some , time a governess to Alderman Hnrmcr's daughters';"and it is but right to say that, although minors to tho contrary have been rife, her moral character is pure niuV.inisullied, save by the breath of scandal. Site, however scorns that, and rightly so,

We on«e afterwards met Eliza Cook—it was by a mere accident—at the cottage of poor William Thorn, the Inverury Poet. It was quite amusing to see her tilt back her chair, plant her feet on the fen? der and bluflly call for a glass of beer. By-the-way \ talking of Thoni, reminds us of a phrase of Eliza Cook's in a letter to him, She said if he did not answer some missive of hers, she'd tako somo, "Pmssic acid, out of a quart pot!"

So much for the Lady; lot us now " touch off" the historian of Jack Shoppard, and the recorder of the deeds of tho illustrious DickTurpin,

' WILLIAM HARBISON AINSWORTH. -: It was at a meeting of the Literary Fund that we

first foil in with him. Fancy, reader, a well-built person, with a very handsome clenrly-cHiscllod fnce, riiiher classic features, flashing dark eyo, hair jetty as the raven's locks, and sedulously attended to, and you may form somo idea'of one, who by his works, has reaped a fortune, arid a fame which'will not last; for the "blood and thunder" school is dying out, arid the sooner it is extinct the better.

Ainsworth resides in a singular looking residence in the Edgcware Road, called the Manor-Houso, not far from that celebrated locality, whore most of, his heroes have ended their not very respectable careers—Tyburn. From his chamber-window, ho can almost, if not quite, see the site of old Tyburn gallows,—a pleasant prospect, doubtless, to him who has done so mueh to illustrate its history!

Mr, Ainsworth is doing little, in tho way of original writing. He edits two Magazines—Colburn's JVeif Monthly, and one which bears his own name, In all the private relations of life, he is excellent and estimable; and, what is rather rare among the race of scribblers, ho takes care of the money he cams with his pen. _

or to Babylon, is a trifle to him—in short, he is almost ubiquitous.

Tho three authors wc have sketched, will visit Amorica this winter or the early part of next year, and to n dead certainty, they will all write books about this country. Wc shall be curious to sco how the subject will bo treated.

Items in, the "still hours of the night," is generally rather hard pastime—but last night was an.exception .to tho general rule. We were just closing our last dissertation on the weather, when it occurred to us that before abandoning tho subjoct, It would bo well for us to tako our "last lingering look"—and wat a glorious sight it was. Tho Aurora Boroalis —that wonder of tho heavens—was lighting up tho flrmamcntf and turning night .almest into day. Front the western horizon, tho pale rays wont flashing up to the zenith,, and thoro uniting, seemed for a momont to form a silver canopy ovor (lie earth, and again separating thoy went rolling down tho casiom sky,'in long billowy, flakes, nnd wore lost to view, Thus Hash succeeded flash, while at intervals the blue sky nnd the siars would break through and by tho,contrast brighten and beautify tho effect of n phenomona which has aliko awe-struck and puzzled the savage in his native wilds and the man or scienco as it flashed across tho lonso of his telescope;

FOURTH CONCERT OK CATHARINE H A Y E S , —

To-night, the fourth Concert of tho now cantatrlce will be given at Triplcr Hall, The programme embraces a choice selection of Ballads and Oporatic Music, Miss HAVES will sing " Tho Harp that onco througli Tara'S Hulls," " Casta Diva,,' and other pieces well calculated to display her vocal powors; and Herr Mcngis nnd Miss Virginia Whiting are to appear in a Duet trom L'Elisir d' Amore, Mr. Brnham is also booked for a numbor of fine pieces. We look for an excollont house, for Miss Hayes' manner of rendering tho softer nnd moro pathetic portions of her selections, and her execution in tho ballad, have already caused hor to take a deep hold upon tho sympathies of'tho musical public. Thoy will rally in force to hear her to-night,

W H E R E ARE THE SCAVENOERS ] — In this ever-changing and ever-changeable climate it cannot but bo expected that mud will nccurmilato in our publio thoroughfares; but why do not the authorities of tho City adopt some means of lessening a nuisance which has now become almost intolerable 1 In all great communities sanitary movements are in active operatlen. Witness the recent improved state of the streets In Paris, Berlin, London and Edinburgh: but wo grieve to have to say that the streets of New-York, from Broadway to the lowest thoroughfare, aro little hotter than mud-rcccptncles, It may be urged that the new buildings constantly in course of erection have something to do with this dirty state of things; but boots will bo offended and cry out that a scavenger's cart, or a few street-orderlies, such as aro now employed in England's metropolis, would bo useful.

Now, woHld it not bo well to look to this matter, which is by no moans unimportant 1 What can equal the comfort of a pleasant promenade, and what discomfort is greater than the nuisance of a thoroughfare of liquid dirt ? Besides, how much would tho health of tho inhabitants of New-York be improved by an improved state of their streets! Pavements must bo lovelled, and crossings swept, and then tho perambulators of the " Empire City," will walk without fear of damage to their boots or thoir shins, for both arc now equally in peril. Cleanliness, they say, is next to godliness; and •if so—and wo believe it to bo a fact—tho streets of Now-York are a long, a-vcry long woy from those paths jthich are peaceful, and which may be traversed safely, I

We shall recur to this subject; which, although n t so much thought of as it should be, is of no slight importance. Some writer referred once to the pigs of Now-York, ns its scavengers. Stirely, more effective machines may be constructed, now that the porcine breed have themselves abandoned their proverbial dirt, and left the cleansing of our streets, to, as Henry Mayhew phrases them, abler " street-folk."

T H E COOPER MOVEMENT.—We understand that an informal meeting of tho Cooper Committee has been held, and that some time during the present week the Committee will be called together for definitive action. At the meeting held in the City Hall, Judge Duer proposed a national monument at,Washington, but Mr. Irvlng'ssuggestion of a statue in one of our principal parks or squares will probably be tho basis of the Committee's proceedings in tho matter, There Is a very lino bust of Cooper, executed while ho was in Italy, in tho very prime of his manhood, which would bo a sufficient guide to the sculptor. A colossal statue of the novelist, on a pedestal, supported by Leathor Stocking, Long Tom Coffin, and other creations of his genius, would have a fine effect, and be one of the chief attractions of the city.

It is in contemplation, wo believe, to have an eloge, after the manner of tho French savants, dolivercd by ono of Mr. Cooper's most eminent contemporaries, in tho Tabernacle or Tripler Hall, in connection with appropriate solemnities, admission to which shall bo by tickets, sold at such a price that sevoral thousand dollars may thus be realised ; nnd a treasurer1 and assistant treasurer will be appointed to receive subscriptions in this city and elsewhere, so that all tho admirers of the genius of the great novelist may have opportunity to contribute to tho cost of the proposed monument.

Besides tho letters published in The Times, others have been received from Mr. Proscott, Mr. Ticknor, John Neal, Mr. Simms, and many others, all warmly approving the proposed movement.

ALBERT SMITH.

If ever, reader, you should happen to pass through Percy-street, Rathbone-Place, in the neighborhood of Oxford-street, London, you may observe, on a brass door-plate, the name, " ALBERT S M I T H -DENTIST," Into that house you may walk, and have your V ivories " either replenished, repaired, or removed, by tho well-known author of " Mr, Ledbury's Adventures," and of a score or more of "Genf'-ish brochures, all smart, jaunty, and laughter-moving as their parent,

. .When Mr. Barnum was astonishing the natives of , Englnnd by hia Tom, Thumb, thore happenOd to bo

in thiesamo establishment in which the great little wonder was exhibited, a mammoth; horse, owned by Carter, the'Lion King, Mr, Barnum, in the plentiiude of his politeness, introduced,us to this equine monster, and at the moment wo entered his' rather limited arena, a gcritlciriari, was mountod on his backj laughing like mad.

" That is Albert Smith," said our conductor, and having often laughed heartily over the pages of this facetious gentleman, wc, of course, survoyed with some interest the causer of our cachinnations.

Ho was, wo obsorved, when ho got off the horse, of the middle height, well built, and active as a boy. He.-had a frank,"open face, which was lighted up by ri full, blue, expressive eye. The hair was light and; somewhat fantastically arranged, the nose: aquiline, arid the whiskers dnndyish but the great expression lay in: his everchariging mouth. This organ was never still nnd always redolent of fun and frolic. In fact, Albert Smith's mouth seemed made for mirth, and never have I heard such joyous peals of jollity from any one as from him. Sheridan said of soriie 'ontf,' that he «laughed all over his face." Albert Smith appeared to laugh all over his body.

Tho public havc.been edified by Mr. Smith's account of his'ascent of Mont Blanc a few weeks since. Ho is fond of.this sort of thing.', A.few. years ngo he had a narrow escapo in a balloon excursion, arid onco in a diving-bell ho noarly got drowned. But he laugty» at all such matters, goes oB^drawjng teeth, doing, books and, sketching; for he-wioldsfthe pencil as well ns tho pen, arid is a most expeditious traveler, A trip to tho JBosplwrus,

BROOKLYN. V THE REVIEW YESTERDAY.—The military pa

rade, yesterday,' was the best and most Imposing we havo ever seen in Brbokiyn, affording a,display of citizen soldiery as creditable to our city as it was attractive and gratifying to tho people, In point of disipline and general appearance. There has; since the previous annual.rcView, been an essential improvement, whlc'h could not but havo been pleasing to every friend of the militia and the worthy General In particular, who has been most assiduous to strengthen and perfect his brigade. The want of punctuality in forming the line in the morning, was, however, a serious blemish on their > otherwise fair movements. "The line was ordered to be formed at 8 o'clock, so as to move precisely at 9, but It was nearly 10 before it was fairlyln motion, and not then without considerable countermarching and a number of unex-plainablo moveme'rits'on the part of the 13th, regiment,, •' The Rlnggo)d Light ArtilJyry C'apL''6>ahani; arid the Kings' County. TrWp^Capt; Suy'dam, wer'rhj line in Jlenry-streeti i»t ah'ewly^our;,arid''bJUtieTr"flhVappeaf-

ancc, excited unusual admiration. The Artillery paraded a full battery, while the cavalry comprised as servi-cable-Iooking, and as handsome a squadron of men and horses, as we have seen for many a day. Both of those companies are attached to the Fourteenth Regiment. Col. Crooke -was at the head of the battalion.

Neely'sDragoons, the Washington Horse-Guards, who were detained for the General's escort, were promptly at head-quarters. The corps numbered 30 men, well mounted, appeared trim and to good advantage, and were accompanied by a good band. ; Tho Eleventh Regiment came into line in Cranberry-

street, about 8 o'clock, numbering 300 men. This Regiment was generally admired for its uniformity of dress -blue boats," white pants, and white cross-belts—the line bearing, 'and correct discipline of the men; they certainly presented (he most attractive, most soldier-like, and most effective line we have ever seen drawn up in this City. Liciit, Couck, of the'Blues, acted as Adjutant, arid won much credit for the prompt rno'nner in which his Regiment was formed.' Lieut, Col. Burbank appeared in command.

Col. Smith's Regiment, the Thirteenth, formed in Orange-street a little past 0 o'clock and numbered about 256; men.

At 10 o'clock, Generals Ward and Duryea witli their staffs, all superbly mounted, and escorted by the Dragoons, appeared in Hicks-street, and the column was put in motion and marched up Fulton to Clinton, through Clinton to Atlantic, up Atlantic to Court, through Court to the City Hall, where a marching salute was paid to his Honor the Mayor, and the Corporate Officers; and from thence through Myrtle-avenue, Lawrence-street nnd Fulton-avenue to the muster-field, just beyond Fort Greene.

The following companies appeared in line: Washington Horse Guard, Capt. James N. Nccly, .(es

cort;) Col. Crook; Kings County Troop, Capt. Bedall; Ringgold Horse Guard, Capt. Graham; Thirteenth Regiment, Coi. Smith; Pioneers; Whitworth's N. Y. Brass Band; Light Guard, Capt. R. B. Clark.

Sprague; Franklin Guard, Capt. Baldwin; Steuben Guard, Capt. Scheppcr; Washington Guard, Capt. Maesz; Emmet Guard, Capt. Dodge; Shield Guard, Capt. Smith ; East New-York Rifles, Capt. Beadle.

The Review by Major-General Ward took place at 12 o'clock, and was witnessed by many thousand citizens, including a goodly number of beautiful ladies; and the whole exercises on the field were generally admired, and elicited Trom the gallant Major-Gcncral his warm commendation. It was highly creditable to all, and the Williamsburg companies most especially.

The City Guards, Capt. Olney, and the Putnam Continentals, Capt. Morgan, were out on parade.

The excellent music of Granger's Band attracted particular attention. . Capt. Wright and his efficient Police corps performed their duty in a most creditable manner.

The troops returned' to the City Armory about 5 o'clock, where the line was dismissed.

General Ward and Staff afterwards dined witli Gen. Duryea, at Major Tomsey's Union notcl.

THE CITY OP BROOKLYN VS. THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD COMPANY.—It will be remembered that last Springthc Common Council, (altera struggle of moro than a year, by parties interested,) passed an ordinance prohibiting the use of steam in Atlantic-street, by the L. 1. Railroad Company. The Company succeeded in obtaining an injunction on the operation of the ordinance thus passed, at that time; but it was removed last week by Judge Barculo, and by reference to eur Court news, it will be seen that the City are determined to enforce the law at all hazards. As to the right of the City to pass such an ordinance, after allowing the Railroad Company to expend something like $100,000 in making Atlantic-street, we have nothing at present to say, although the present Counsellor of tho Board differs in the opinion of his predecessor as to that right. Still this difference of opinion shows that it is yet a question for debate. But with regard to the policy, we have a word to say, and may refer to the subject again if there is not an amicable arrangement made soon, which we hope and trust may be the case, as we are friendly to both parties in the controversy. ,

It seems that this ordinance was created by the exertions of a few property holders in the vicinity of Atlantic-street, they nlledging that the locomotives in passing through the street, by the jarring, injures their buildings, makes a residence on the street very unpleasant from the dust and smoke, and prevented the country people from passing into the city or through it by Atlantic-street, on account of the horses taking fright at the noise made by the locomotives, and, consequently, lessening the value of real estate. We would ask if there is any man who believes that that part of the city would be in the present advanced state, had it not been for the Leng Island Railroad? Our answer is, .Yo. No doubt but what some dwelling houses are made unpleasant by the rise of a locomotive ; but would the condition of things be bettered by'substituting horse-power instead of steam, in this respect. It certainly appears to us that of the two. the • horse-power is the greater evil. Let us explain a little . —there are ten regular trains leave Brooklyn every day; on an average, three cars to a train. It will require the strength of four horses to draw one single loaded car -from the depot through Atlantic-street. Here we have. twelve borses to each train, and an aggregate, passing both ways, each day, of 240 horses. Now is it not plain that this long string of horses, and all the necessary appurtenances, will create more noise and disturbance in the street, and cause more accidents than a well regulated locomotive power, which clutters up the street but a few minutes at a time, while in case horse-power is used it will be almost impossible to cross the street two-thirds ofthe daytime I - It looks very much like oppression to force this road to a terminus at some other point, which undoubtedly will be the result, if tho matter is not arranged and the ordinance is enforced. Let the road make a terminus at.Williamsburg, and no sane man cannot but believe that it would affect very seriously the progress of the Southern portion of our growing City. The citizens of Brooklyn should not treat this matter in any light manner—it is a serious question, and one that involves serious consequences if not managed with a high mind.

BODY OF A CHILD FOUND.—On Sunday morning, about 7 o'clock, officers Whitehill and Harrold, of the First DistrictPblice, discovered something floating in the East River, near the South Ferry,'which, Upon examination, proved to be the dead body of a child some four years of age. From the fact of a stone being tied round the child's neck, and something havingbeen crammed into its.mouth, leads to the supposition that its death was caused by foul and Inhuman treatment.

A fellow prisoner, by the name of Smith, accompanied him. We rather think they will avoid Long Island this trip. Rogues find our city rather a bad retreat.

Church in Fleet-street, last Sabbath celebrated their first anniversary. The exercises were very interesting and passed off in the most happy manner. An Address was delivered by Rev. M. L. Scudder, of New-York, on the relation of Sunday Schools to the cause of Christian education, and other exercises suitable to the occasion. It appears that this school was organized one year since, with but twenty scholars, and at the present time numbers about three hundred and twenty-flve, under able and oftlcient teachers.

This Church Is situate in Fleet-Btrcet, near the junction of De Kalb and Fulton-avenues, in the Xlth Ward, and has been but a short time (little more than a year) in existence, but it now numbers some, one hundred commu-cants, beside an average attendance of about four hundred, under the Pastoral care of Rev. Daniel Curry, late ofthe Washington-street Church.

Capt. Hudson, composed of the members of Hook and Ladder Company No. 3, and numbering about fiay-flve as fine-looking men as can be met with anywhere, passed down Fulton-street yesterday morning, on their way to Bull's Ferry, to spend the day in target exercises. They returned in the evening, evidently well pleased with the excursion and all the arrangements connected therewith

ErF A rattlesnake, over three feet. long, was caught, a few da3's since, about three miles from this city, near the plank road leading to the Shaker settlement, by Mr. Wood the driver of an omnibus, who had brought a pic-nic party to the ground where the snake was captured. Sir. W. secured him by placing a forked stick over his head, then taking him with both hands, placed him in a box obtained for that purpose, and he is now to be seen at the State. Geological-Rooms. The capture of this snake is remarkable from the fact that no member of his family was known' to have been at large in this neighborhood for many years, and it is supposed that he must have been an emigrant, or escaped from confinement.—Albany Argus. • • -
