It is impossible to tell whether he Is dead oralive. He may have been Protected by the Planks, &e., from immediate death. But if so his condition ts hardly less deplorable, for ow- ing to the nature of the ground, the Process of ex- cavation must go on slowly and with great can- tion, and itis thought he cannot be reached in tess than two days. a i> On last Friday, a man calling himself Norton, and representing to belong to New Or- Jeans, passed on W. E. Snoddy, of Louisville, Ky., a forged check, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Rockford, Brown & Co » on the Citizens Bank of New Orleans, and certified by that bank. He obtained $1,900 in Money, 22,000 in Harding county railroad bonds, aud Mr. Snod- dy’s note for the baiance. He also disposed of other forged checks of less value. errr epee UZ A proposition ix on foot before the New York City Councils to require all the telegraph ‘Wires in the city to be laid under ground.

It is said that Cosbing’s classic learn- ing, and patriotic enthusiasm were never so gracefully or acceptably demonstrated, and that Choate’s stately eloquence, solid reasoning, and Carlyle-like diction, have seldom been so im- pressively displayed. Letters were read from Edward Everett, Vice President Breckinridge, Becietary Cass, and Senators Douglas and Ham- mond, stating their inability to be present. —— Svieips ano Mvaper.—On Monday evening last, at South Franklin, Mass named Jouathan Wales, a rej young !ady named Susan V W biting, murdered bet as she was returning from a party, by shoot- ing ber through the head with a pistol, The un- fortunate girl never spoke after receiving the fatal wound. The murderer ran ow Immediately after committing the act, and was found the next day ina secluded spot, dead, after having shot himself through the body It appears, from the following statement, that one of the immediate provocations to the Sct was the thoughtlessness of bis friends in comment- on the grovad of his rejection—the disparity of age—of Wales Sy the girl's parents: Aboot a fortnight since, By the Boston Tray- eler, at a meeting of the South Franklin Lyceum, several of the young men who nad heard of the re. jection of Wales by Susan, willing tosserifice his feviings to their love for sport, arranged to have a *eus-ton on the subject - “ Resolved, that amar- a sbeuld be tem years older than bis wife’ —and tocompiete their Plan for smusement at bis expense. ed to have him speak on the agfirm- ative. The school-house was crowded, aad, as was intended, the discussion sooa assumed % _— character, and his affairs were alluded o with such freedom ax to exasperate bingreat- ly. After this he was frequently joked on the subject, and it is thought tuat tafe disregard for Dis finest feeling caused the deliberate commis- ston of the double crime.

M'lle Ghioni proved herself, perhaps, oné of the best second sopranos in the country—a singer of fine volume, and much melody of voice. She, however, lacked that mannerism, which is the greatest charm of the Prima Donna of the occasion, the famous Piccolomini. Mr. Perring, the English tenor, sang his Scores correctly, with much feeling and in capital voice Yet his stiffness on the boards detracts from his merits as an artist in the minds of those who, not being connoisseurs in “The Divine Art,’’ are more susceptible to stage tricks on such occasions than to points of high art. Signor Maggiorotti, the baritone, isevidently without his equal at this time in this country in his peculiar walk—as a buffo, in comic opera. The rapidity and clearness of his vocalization of that most trying score—Largo al Factotum— from Roesini’s never dying “Barber of Se- ville,’? we never heard equalled, though we have heard that score sung by every buffo who has so far appeared on the boards in this coun- His taste, too, is indeed wonderful; show- try. ing bim to be in all respects a finished artist Piccolomini’s selections for the evening were exceedingly simple, and, as far as we heard her, their execution was charming, indeed.

Tugs Paraguay Exrrpition.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Baltimore A meri- can, in bis letter of the day before yesterday, says: “When Congress conferred discretion upon the President in regard to the redress of our al- leyed grievances against Parayuay, there was no expectation on either the Democratic or Opposi- tion side that a naval expedition of such prepor- Hons would be equipped forthwith. The im- pression obtained among leading Democrats, according to their voluntary representations now, that a special commission would be appointed to Negotiate on the subject, and that failing, a re- port would be made to Congress before proceed- ing to extremities. Mr. Buchanan, however, ac- cepted the authority conferred in its literal sense, and the Government is now embarked ina war- like enterprise without the least conception of its consequences or cost. doting business here.’* This cannot be true in any particular, as the matter was thoroughly discussed in the Senate last winter, when Senator Mason and others especially mentioned the employment of force, and the sending out of an adequate armed ex- pedition was several times incidentally alluded to, both by those favoring and those opposed to the resolution. As to the “ conception of its consequences and cost,’’ the officers of the gov- ernment have studied that question with much more care and attention than this writer seems disposed to give them credit for. Facts anv Roumons.—The correspondent of the Baltimore Repuhleean alluding to charges against public officers, says : ““To show you to what insignificant attacks these officers are sub allow me to call your attention to a receut action of the Massachusetts State Agricultural Convention. Notwithstand- ioy the Government established the Agricultural office for the express purpose of introducing for- eign plants, &c , this wise convention gravely advises that the office shall distribnte no seed except such as are of Americangrowh! The cause of this would be mysterious, were it not for the fact that a celebrated dealer in garden seeds was the principal actor. His object is quickly apparen+—the increase of his own business.” It is said that Mr. Stewart, United States Marshal for Georgia, has been removed on the grounds of not exercising sufficient vigilance in regard to the yacht Wanderercase. This does not look as though the President connived at the African slave trade, as the Republican pol- iticians would have the people believe. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, who does not seem to favor the acquisition of Cuba, says of the probable action of England and France relative to that matter :—* When the crisis calling for their intervention shall Occur, they will deal in blows not words, and while we are taking Cuba they will take San Fran- cisco, and lay New York under contribution.” Tae Way taey Use Toeu.—Though no in vestigation has yet been m: into the truth of the chargesjof Mr. Sherman, of Vhio, against officers and employees of the Navy Depart- ment, the opponents of the Administration are already using the fact of their existence to the injury of the Department’s reputation, as will be seen by the following from the New York Tribune's Washington correspondence : “The resolution of Mr Sherman, of Ohio, for the appointment of a Select Committee to inwes« tigate the political corruption of the navy yards, causes much consternation among the New York and Philadelphia Democratic members. It ix Probable that If the Navy Department had been Fe pao of. Mc. Sherman’s intention, an objec- tton would have been made to the introduction of the resolation. Secretary Toucey is said to have expressed fears of its effect on the Connec- Ucut election.’ These gratuitous indications are more hurtful than the charges themselves; and the latter cannot be more untruthful. We are free to say that no such fears are expressed or enter- tained, and no objection to the movement of Mr. Sherman was interposed, though all as- sailed in his eharges were well aware of Mr. Sherman's intention. Such efforts to strike down the reputation of gentlemen in public employment as that of the T'rzh«ne’s corres- Pondentin this case, are beneath contempt. It shows that his malice prompts him to use the charges now, lest, when the investigation is over, their falsity will be made apparent, and render them unavailing as instruments of injury. Nor, is it to be hoped, that when they are disproved, that correspondents will ever take tho trouble to announce that fact. AS cut.—Among the most notable sigh Present to be seen in the Federal Metropolis, is the daily afternoon feast in the immense dining ball of Willards’ hotel, where, shortly, after four p. m., some six handred ladies and gentlomen sit down to dine, filling the space of the immense room, which oxtends from Penn- sylvania avenue to F street.

He gives a succinct account of his recent visit to Constantinople, and contradicts the state- ments in English and French journals that pro- tests were made by the Europeans Legations against the right to pass the Dardanelles, be- cause the United States was not a party to the treaty of Paris. Every attention was shown him by the Turkish authorities, who not only visited the Wabash, but expressed themselves in the warmest terms of our people. His Exrsniexce —We find the following in an editorial, in the New York Trilune of yes- terday: “It is not so easy as some may imagine to give to a false story th appearance of Wuth, when that story is exposed to the thorough sifting of a rigorous cross-examination.”? There is but little doubt, that in regard to this matter, the editor of the Tréhune speaks from experience; and it is well that he thus enlightens his readers, lest they should, in some instances, be tempted to follow his ex- ample. Aw Exriayation.—The public will be ex- tremely gratified to learn that Senator Brod- erick to-day denounced as false on the floor of the Senate chamber the statement concerning an alleged remark of bis, with reference to the late Democratic Senatorial caucus, in the Wash- ington correspondence of the New York Trt- /une, commented on yesterday by the Star. We regret exceedingly that this explanation Was not more promptly made, as it would have r@lieved us from the disagreeable necessity of commenting in any manner on the affair. A Rencontre, accidental, we presume, oc- curred in the Capitol, after 1 p. m. to-day, be- tween Mr. Chas. C. Walden, late deputy col- lector of the port of New York, and the Hon. George Taylor, M. C. from Brooklyn, who re- sented offensive words uttered by Mr. W. bya pretty rough assault on bim. The interference of bystanders was prompt; and therefore, of courze, no serious bodily harm was done. We presume the affair is already regretted by both partics.

Steam was raised abont eleven e’clock, and, with a small company on board, consisting mostly of the workmen, she proceeded down the river a short distance below Fort Carroli. She returned to her moorings at Spring Gardens about three o’clock in the after- noon. It is stated that the trip was quite satis- factory to the builders—the steamer making fourteen miles per hour at a moderate head of steam. The Heads of the Departments at Wash- ington had been invited to be present on the oc- casion, but, owing to the press of official busi- ness, they were unable to attend.

Is tae Senate, to-day, Mr. Seward, on leave, offered a joint resolution regulating the transportation of the mails between New York and Liverpool, via Southampton to Havre and Bremen; referred. Mr. Hale said that the shower prevented him from bearing anything, and moved that the re- solution he offered the other day, instructing the Committee on Public Buildings to enquire into the expediency of re-constructing the Sen- ate Chamber, be taken up; the resolution was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Shields, they next took u the bill for the relief of Thos. Laurent, survi- ving partner of the firm of Thomas and Benja- min Laurent; which was discussed until laid aside. Mr. Broderick, arising to a personal expla- nation, said that the recent article in the New York Tr'bune, Derporting to publish a remark of hisvoncerning the recent Democratic Sena- torial caucus, was totally false. Mr. Wilson stated that a correspondent of the Tribune had acknowled to him that the communication was founded on a current ru- mor, and that he had promised to contradict it. Mr. Broderick said that he had examined the Tribune of last evening, and found no con- tradi¢tion. Is tae House, Mr. Farnsworth asked leave to introduce a resolution (preceded by a lengthy Preamble, in which the importance of the pos- session of the British provinces in North Amer- ica by this Government is set forth,) directing the Foreign Aflairs Committee to inquire into the expediency of taking initiative steps to secure this territory. Mr. Garnett and others objected. The House then proceeded to the considera- tion of private bills, and disposed of several ere our report closed.
