We have already announced the arrival in Queenstown of the American ship David Stew- art, having on board Poerio and his compan- ions, whom the Neapolitan Government had tet free from the dungeons of that State. It will be remembered that, though pardoned, they were sentenced to banishment, and that after having been deported from their native country to Spain, it was determined that they should be sent to America. Accordingly. the David Stewart was chartered to take them trom Cadiz to New York, where. upon landing, each was to reeeive a suin of $120, and be re- lensed from all further control. They had been brought from Nuples to Cadiz in a Nea- politan transport, from which. after about three weeks, they were put on board the David Stewart rom the Cork Examiner we copy the following particulars * All the party having been put on board at Cadiz. the David Stewart was towed out to sea for a distance of nearly 200 miles, by a Nea- politan war steamer. @ steamer then cast off and left the ship with « fair wind from the east. Searcely, however, was the ship well away from the protection of the steamer’s guns. than the exiles ina body came to the captain, delivered to him a protest against being carried to New York, and called upon Lim to make the first port he could reach in England. The captain, one-third of whose freight had been retained as a guarantee for the perfurmanee of his contract, remonstratod with their demand to have him break his en- gagement, and ultimately refused. They ap- pesred to acquiesce in his decision, or at least wessed their demand vo further that evening; at the next morning it was again renéwed. and ia amore decided and threatening man- ner. A young Italian, named Raffuelli Set- tembrini, had shipped with the captain in Cadiz, and signed articlos as asesman. Up to that morning be had done his work with the Test of the crew. But when the assemblage waited upon the captain, he made his appear- ance in the uniform of a mate of one of the Galway line of steamers—a handsome blue frock, with gilt buttons, gold cap-band, &c. This position he really | > but it turned out he was the son of Luigi Settem- brini, who, hearing of his father’s condit: pardon, and of his destination, left for Spai and resort to the rvse we have men- tioned to him. The captain of the ship believes that he was dispatehed by the Italian Society of Lomlon to aid the prisoners in the course they subsequently tovk. The iles stat that they had a navigetor in their party. and that even if they had to take the ship out of the bands of the captain and erew, they would be able to sail her withoat their assistance. They represented to the cap- tain that they had been two months at sea, many of them being old, und all with consti- tutions more or less enfeebled b; imprison- ment of ten years, so that a long age would be torture (o them, and death perhaps to some. They contended also that, being under the American fing, they were free. and that they had no right to be taken anywhere but where they chose. These arguinents. backed up by the preponderance of physical force, the exiles being 65, and the crew was but 17. and the manifest determination of the former to resort to extremities to carry out their intention, compelled the captain to yield, and turn the vessel’s head northward. They were temper- ate and polite in manner, but about their de- termination there could be no mistake. They set a guard, of threes or fours in turn, to keep wateh over the coun; , and see that the ship's head was kept in the direction of the haven they lwked for. The weather was bafiling, and the passage was tedivus. The captain in- tended making for Cork. but missed the har- bor in a fog. and got as far as Ballycotton, but having fallen in with a Cork pilot, beat back again ; so that at length, after a voyage of four- teen days. the ship anchored in the man-of-war roads. Az fast a8 possible, the whole band got themselves conveyed ashore st Queenstown, and testified in the most lively manner their jey at béing at last assured of freedom. The enthusiasm of some rese to such a piteh that they actually kissed the soil upon which they first planted foot as freemen. § Some of them etate that their sight bas grown dim fro length of time they have been in p seme seem to have grown premature! m the and grey: but as far as we were able lo judge, there was not in their appearance anything to indicate their having endured peculiar bard-hip>. Du- ring the voyage, Poerio, whose heulth has been greatly enteebled, used to get out of bed and sit on the deck for a couple of hours daily. On his arrival at Queenstown. he caused himself to be removed to a private lodging. In appear- ance. be is short, thick-set. and rather good looking. His age is fifty-five. but his looks would indicate that he is somewhat older. He now speaks but afew words of English, though itis said be atone time knew the language well. The want of exercise in speaking or reading it, during the period of bis long impris- onment. has almost entirely obliterated it from his memory. The oe sailor to whom we have already alluded is of very prepossessing appearance. We bave not learned the ulti- iuxte intention of this band of exiles, but it is very probable the great majority of them will go back to Italy, seeking refuge in the Sardi- nian kingdom. Under any circumstances, Po- erio will, we believe, go to Sardinia. es Me.

GOING THE ENTIRE PORKER Old Levi Allen used to & tin peddling in his younger days. at which business he accumu- lated quite a fortune before he was seven-and- twenty. The neighbors of the borough where he finally settled, as the proprietor of a pretty large farm, would often insinuate that Allen had not been any too honest in gathering to- —— his riches. and sach was -the fact. A ‘ellow sinner has since revealed some of the old man’s youthful short comings and over goings and there was one ‘dodge’ of his so original that it is worth a mention. It was this: Wherever our dealer in tin ware chanced to put up for the night, he was pretty sure to make his way to the best bed in the house From this he would take a bag fall of fea- thers, fetching in a bag from the cart for that purpose, and contrive to smuggle out the same and get it stowed away in his“ kit’’ before any one was stirring. This proceeding. giving him several pounds of fs i geese feathers every day, did not a little towards swelling the profits of his business, and we are assured that it was only one of many similar practices in which he indulged. On one occasion Ailen slept in a bed which was very scanty—a diminutive bed, a bed of few feathers, but all it contained were “live geese,”’ and unusually good at that. The spee- ulative tin ware merchant thought it would be rather small business to take away feathers froin a case containing so few—in short, that his only sensible mode of procedure was to take the entire bed. He accordingly rose before the sun, and commenced shoving it out of the rear window, with the intention to go down on aceount of * that ‘ere colic,”’ and stow it awa: before any one was “up.” But, as ill luc would have it. the host bad arisen, and was out under the window gathering some light chips and fuel for the morning fire, and when he saw the bed *‘looming up’ in such an unnatural ition, and just ready to fall to the ground, e cried out to the peddler : ‘Halloa there, stranger! what are you doing?’ The astonished ‘operator’ saw that he was caught in the act, but his ready wit helped him out. *“‘Doing?’’ he rejoined, with a look full of wrath, as he thrust his head out and took a survey of the field, “I guess some of these in- fernal bed-bugs will soon find out what I am about—haven't slept a wink all night!’ With this, he **let” the bed out of the win- dow. and went down to the wood-pile, from whenee he took a club, and gave the bed such # beating therewith as would have been fatal to any sort of “creeping thing’? ensconseed therein. He then took it buck to his room, and lovked 40 ‘darned honest’? at breakfast that the host didn’t charge him but half-price for lodgings, and took it allin “tin ” —————-~+e -—____. Prosance Discovery or Noan’s Anx.—It Be pers that in the eastern portion of the good old State. whose staple productions are *- pitch. tar, turpentine and lumber,” some remarkable fosil discoveries have been recently made, among which is what appeared to be a portion ofa vessel's deck, sume forty fect in length, and bearing a elose resemblance to lignite. The time has been, says the Mobile Confederation, when the discovery of such a remarkable fossi- liferous specimen would have set all the geolo- oe and archeologists of the country on their eads; but at thiy enlightened Pst pn of the world’s history, when the duty of not only man- aging but explaining all things terrestrial, has devolved upon a class of men Taswn as editors, it excites no surprise; for the simple reason that, whatever urs on the earth, or whatever is discovered above or beneath, or in the waters around it, is certain of a s; ly and satisfac- tory solution. Sce how easily, and humorous- ly. the editor of the Wilmiugion Herald settles this fossil matter How this vestige of human labor and human art came there, i3 a question We understand that some erudite geologists say that somewhere in Bladen county is found the oldest known geological formation in the world — If this be so, if this be the uldest part of the world, it must, of course, have been the first ready fur the residence of man. und the first occupied by him; ergu, the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the Cape Fear region. which was then « better fruit growiug country than it is new. We think Adste must have settled somewhere around this way, for all the people eluim to be descended from him. If Adam and Eve started in life in Eastern North Carolina, it is not probable that Noah had wand very far from the old homestead This supposition gains strength when we con sider how Nosh pitehed his ark. Where else could he have got so much or 80 good piteh or other naval stores to pitch her within and with- out’ Following up this train of reasoning. why should not these human remains have come down from Noah—be, in faet, portions of his ark’ To be sure. the absence ef Mount Ararat is a little in our way, but when we get to be as philesophically regardless of all facts that atand in the way of our hypothesis as ure the great A, i i 5 Emmons, and the other we won't mind little trifles «ce, - How raky Get Gowp ar Pike's Peak.—This story is true, and the truth is always beautiful : ‘Young gentlemen afflicted with the Pike's Peak fever will be interested in the fullowing statement from a reliable geutleman in the new El Dorado of the manner of gathering gold in the diggings. A man takes @ frame work of heavy timbers, built like a stone boat, the bot- tom of which is composed of heavy iron raspy This frame work is hoisted up to the top of the Peak, and the man gets on and slides down the side of the mountain. As he goos swiftly down the rasp on the bottom of the frame work serape off the gold in immense shavings, which curl up on the machine, and by the time the man gets to the bottom, nearly a ton of gold is following him. This is the common manner of gathering it. ‘Another plan is to bore a hole in the side of the mountain, and fill it with coal and bitu men. A rousing fire is then built, and the pro- prietors sit around and ~ blow it."’ Shortly, the gold begins to soften and melt.when quickly astream of molten gold, a3 thick as your leg run out through the fire, and is caught in moulds of sand made for the purpose. from whence the gold comes in sheets eight or ten feet square. of the thickness of first clags boiler iron. Gold is too plenty here, in fact. A paper of tobacco will buy two tons of it. “Tam turning my attention to something different. I have found in the Gulch from which I date this letter, lumps of gold a as large as « hand-sled, fairly encrusted wit! diamonds. I have dropped the gold business since, and have been steadily laboring in the diamond department. You will not believe me, perhaps, but it is a solomn fact that I have already collected a bin full of diamonds, nearly as large as your fist—more or lees; among them are over a hundred larger than a piece of bead cheese.” ~ «weer Cuarge or Roasting A MAN to Deara oN Boarp a Streawer.—John Buchanan, chief en- gineer of the serew steamer Bogota (just ar- rived st Liverpool from the Pacific.) was charged before the local magistrates yester day. with eausing the death a stoker (Thos Launder.) by having him tied to a ladder in frontof the furnace on board the above veasel The outrage was reported to the police author ities on Sunday by several persons who had arrived in the Bogota. and no time was lost in the apprehension of the prisoner. Mr. Clough supertatendent of police) stated that so far as £ Vind at present been informed, Launder had disobeyed seme orders, and when about five hours sail from Rio, the prisoner instructed th» second engineer to tie Launders to an iron lad- der in front of the furnace. The heat was fear- fal. and in half an hour Launder died (as the doetor on board said) of apoplexy. The body was thrown overboard without removing the clothes, and before the doctor had examined it. At the request of Mr. Aspinwall, barris- ter, the ease was remanded until next day, bail for Buchanan's Pr aartore” being refused. — Loudou Nows, March jth. Star. WASHINGTON, D.
