THE ARREST OF HEENAN. We are indebted to some friend in London for a eopy of Bell’s Life in London, of April 8, containing the following particulars of the ar- rest of Heenan: In our first edition we stated that Heenan had been arrested at Trent Lock, near Derby, and conveyed to the lock-up in that town, where he remains in the custody of the super- intendent of police In our remarks upon the sal jeet we stated that if any persons were to blame for the arrest they must c Heenan bim- Macdonald, and Mr. Falkland After that on had gone to press we learned that Mr Falkland hed been with Heenan for a fort. night, and shortly afterwards we had a visit from that gentleman himself, who was as much concerned as ourselves at the calamity which had befallen his protege. It i clear, there- fore, that he could not have advised the Beni- cia Boy to take his sudden journey into Derby- sbire; and it is equally clear to us that “The Boy’ himself cannot be censured for the se- jection of bis quarters, as he must have been mainly dependent npon his attendants in this matter, and moreover, cannot hav® any inti- mate knowledge of the country. Jack Mac- donald has since called upon us; he says he left Derby on Friday night, and traveled all night to set himself right with us and the public. Hie declares he selected Trent Lock as being von the borders of three counties, Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester; and within easy access of avy of them. He and Jack’s friend had taken such precautions as they thought would render everything perfectly sufe, and had em- ployed a fellow named Cook, a tailor, to sound the police, and ascertain what was the fecling, and whether anything had been done or was intended to be done. The scoundrel. whose expenses were paid, and who had received all sorts of presents, declared positively that all was right; and it now turns out he had played into the handsof the police, and it was through him alone that the officers obtained i:furma- tion a. te Heenan’s whereabouts. Trent Lock. it seems, is the place where Dick Hall and ether Nottingham men, including the Bold Bendigo, had repeatedly trained, and it is therefore not at all singular that it should have heer selected. We are glad, for the cake of all parties, that this matter is cleared up, and we are pleased at being able to ex- Press our opinion that neither of the men, nor their friends, has had any hand in the busi- ness. From the following report, received this morning from Derby, it will be seen that the warrant was originally issued in Leicester- shire. Whoit is that has so Pertinaciously f-llowed up and persecuted Heenan we hope will be found out, in order that he may Bs held up to the obloquy he deserves. We have great pleasure in gratifying a re- quest of Mr. Falkland in stating that the ru- tor as to Heenan’s arrest having been caused by Tom Sayers, or his friends, did not emanate from him or from any of Heenan’s party, all of whom have the highest opinion of Tom Say- ers, and believe him utterly incapable of such conduct. Mr. Falkland. on leaving our office on Fri- day night, intimated that he would send down atriend to put in bail for Heenan, and we trust to be able shortly to announce his free- dow Our Derby correspondent writes as follows *- Heenan was apprehended (on Good Friday) at Trent Lock, ten miles from Derby. The following are the particulars :—On Thursday afternoon last a detective officer of the Leices- tershire constabulary, named Clarke, arrived in Derby, armed with a warrant for the appre- hension of Heenan; but as the Pugilist was quartered’ in Derbyshire, it was necessary that the warrant should be backed by a Der- byshire aig ar Consequently, the signa- ture of Dr. Heygateof Derby was quickly ob- tained, and at ten o’clock on Thursday even- ing, the Leicestershire off cer, accompanied by Superintendent Shaw, of the Derby division, Sergeant Lowndes, and police constable Hal- jum, started from Derby in a trap, and pro- ceeded to Trent Lock, which divides the coun- ties of Leicestershire and Derbyshire, where they arrived about one o'clock on Good Friday morning. They put up at Deacon’s public house, and remained until 5 a. m., when they proceeded to the SEL aoa Inn, Trent Lock, whieh is kept by Mr. Rice. A Trent ferrymaa Jet them into the house, and they immediately planted themselves at the foot of the bed-room stairs, and asked for the landlord. He came, aud they ed if Heenan was not in the house. The landlord replied that he had been there on the evening previous, but ho could not say that he was sleeping in the house. Sergeant Lowndes and police constable Hallam then went up stairs, andentered a bed room. The bed was empty, but by the side of it wasa shirt, trowsers, and waistcoat. In the room. however. was Macdonald, Mr. Hughes, and an- other friend of Heenan’s. They said they did not know where he was. The officers searched every reom up stairs for about an hour, and then returned down stairs. Directly after- wards, a man named Henry Jackson, who keeps the lock house on the Trent bank, came into the house, bringing with him a note writ- tenin pencil, which he handed to the land- lord. ‘ihe police were in plain clothes, and Superintendent.Shaw said to Jackson, ‘Who is it from?” and he replied, ‘Heenan.’ The note was as follows: ‘I am waiting at the lock house for my shees; Macdonald must bring them dretly” The — at once proceeded to the lock house,which they besieged. The oveupant however, would not admit them up stairs, and denied that Heenan was inthe house. It was then agreed that Sergeant Lowndes should go to Mr. Suttan of Stardlow, a magistrate living near, and get a search warrant, in order that they ee up stairs. About ten minutes after he had been oe on this errand, Heenan jumped through the bed-room window and made a clear leap over the head of Police Constable Hallam. ite took to his heels, and was pursued by the officers A regular steeple chase ensued, but the ‘line of country’ bei ing new to the American, and his bare feet being cut by the stones, he was compelled to stop, after going two or three fields. Both he and his friends seemed mortified at the capture. A trap was soon in attendance, and he was con- veyed to Derby, a distance of ten miles. On the road he had a little ‘chaff’ with the police. He said he had not signed an agreement to fight Sayers, and therefore his apprehension was illegal. He alsozaid, ‘I have beenremoved twice; why don’t they take Sayers? I have been hunted about like a dog.’ "His arrival at Derby about 10 a. m on Good Friday caused a great sensation, and a eae mob congregated in frontof the Town Hall, to which he was taken. He was at once put in the lock-up, and directly afterwards was visited by Mr. H. F. Gisborne, a Derby magi e.who ordered him to be placed in oe ers. Mr. Hilton, head constable of the borough. kindly took him to his own house, adjoining the Town Hall, where for the present he is comfortably quar- tered. During the day Macdonald arrived, and Dr. Heygate having been seen by Mr. 8. Leech (from the office of Mr. Gamble, solicitor) who appeared for Heenan, agreed to take re- i. ance.”? *peetable bail for his a - Lhe following tel reached usat I o’clock: “Heenan, tie icia Boy, has just been nd over, himself in £50, and two gentlemen - Derby in £25 each, for the term of 6 months. t this moment at liberty.

The “Adventures of Baron Munchausen,”” was & work written several years ago, for the Purpose of putting to shame a class of writers who, in giving to the world accounts of their adventures in foreign lands, told all sorts of improbable stories in order to render them- selves famous as travelers. The book, which | Strap to give the travels of the renowned ‘aron, was, of course, a work o! fiction, and the statements it contained so far outstripped those of all other travelers that it served as a Severe satire upon them. When, therefore, Persons on returning from abroad were detect- ed in telling lies, or giving greatly exagger- ated accounts of what they had seen or done, they were accused of being disciples of Baron Munchausen. Perhaps the reader has never seen the Bar- on’s book. If so, he will be amused with one or two specimens from its marvelous pages. One evening the Baron declares that he was overtaken by a snow-storm. So much snow fell that he was obliged to dismount, and tie his horse to what he thought was the stump of an old tree, while he wrapped himself in his cloak, lay down on the snow, and fell into a deep slumber. When he awoke in the morn- ing, his horse was missing; he couldn’t see him anywhere. At length, looking up towards the sky, he spl ss the animal suspended to the eross of achurch steeple. There had been a free thaw during the night, the snow had melted away, and what he had taken to be the stump of a tree the evening before, proved now to be nothing less than the cross of a church steeple! One hundred and fifty feet of snow had fallen and disappeared in twenty- four hours. The Baron took out his pistol, fired at the bridle, shot it in two, and when the horse fell to the ground, his master at once mounted him and went on his journey. On another occasion he was passing under a gate, which fell down by accident, and cut his r horse asunder just behind the saddle. he Baron didn’t know of this loss till an hour afterward, when passing over a brook, the horse took a drink, and hearing something gushing out like water behind him, Munchau. sen turned around and saw to his amazement that, for the last four or five miles, he had been riding on half a horse instead of a whole one. The Baror turned back, got the hind quarters of the animal, and sewed the body together with willow twigs, which afterwards grew to he fine trees, and proved a fine shelter to him from the sun, when he was on his journeys One very cold day he was laying tunes on a bugle, when all the tunes froze before they came out at the further extremities of the in- strument. However, upon hanging it near the fire, the bugle began playing, and never ceased till all the frozen tunes were played out in their regular order. Travelers, with all their desire to excite the admiration of lovers of the marvelous, were taught a lesson by this book, and, no doubt, since its publication. many a writer has been forced to keep the story of his adventures within the bounds of truth, by the exaggeration and cutting sarcasm of Baron Munchausen. ee Surcipe or a Dentist’s Wire.—On Thurs- day afternoon, Coroner Schitmer held- an in- quest at the house of Wm. B. Latson, No. 385 Eighth avenue, on the body of Mary Ann Lat- son, who committed suicide the previous night. It appeared from the testimony elicited that the deceased had been exceedingly jealous of her husband for a number of years, ‘iu conse- quence of his profession bringing him in contact with so many ladies. She had often begged of him to give up his business and do something else, but he had refused to do so. On Wednes- day morning a disagreement occurred between them—Mr. Latson taking some money from her bureau drawer, to which she objected. Some hard words appear to have passed be- tween them at that time, after which Mr. Lat- son went into his office, in the same building. and attended to his work. He did not see his wife oeain till about six o’clock in the evening, when he found her lying on the floor of her own room, and quite dead. After having quar- reled with her husband, Mrs. Latson appears to have gone over with a market basket, and purchazed a quantity of charcoal. Returning to her room, she had carefully stopped the crevices around the windows with cotton, filled a furnace with the coal, set it on fire, and laid down todie. When found, she was lying on the floor, with a pillow under her head, her arms folded, and her limbs straight. A strong odor of charcoal gas pervaded the apartment Dr. Latson at once raised an alarm; the neigh- bors were called in, physicians sent for, and all manner of restoratives spphet, but too late. The following note to her huiband was written on an ordinary business card, and left on a ta- ble in the room. “Farewell, William. Forgive me for all the trouble I havecaused you; but, recollect, your business has driven me crazy, and neither in pity for my body or soul would you change your ways. I am no thief; you could not mean that. Give my things to my dear sister, and something to Adeline and the children.” A sisfer of the deceased testified that Mrs. Latson had been much depressed in spirits lately, caused by sickness and jealousy of ber husband. She had often told her sister that she would kill herself, and had attempted to do so once once or twice before. Dr. G. B. Bouton made & post mortem examination of the body, when he found the lungs very much diseased, and the Itver somewhat deranged. From the congested s ate of the lungs, and the history of the case, the doctor gave it as his opinion that death was caused “‘by inhalation of carbonic gs,generated by charcoal.’’ The jury rendered a verdict of suicide. The deceased wasanative of England, and 38 years of age.—New York Tribune. Tae Sewace or Citizs Appuizp To AGRI- cULTURE.—A movement is making in England toapply the sewage of cities and the waste manure of large towns to agriculture, by which itis believed that what is now worthless, if not poisonous, may be converted into a source of great wealth. t is asserted that, as far as the sogeesting is concerned, there is now no difficu ity in se- euring the whole of the London sewage, esti- mated, as it flows into the Thames, at 70,000,- 000 tons annually. Applying it at the rate of 40 tons an acre, it would manure 1,750.000 acres annually, without the aid of a single cart load of farm-yard manure. Wherever the sewage has been employed it has increased the fertility of the land more than 100 pei And it is also stated that 750 tons of the rich liquid sewage of London can be delivered to a distance of 100 miles round London, and on every farm included in that area, at a less cost than the farmer is now paying for one ton of while the 750 lbs. of sewage contain more fertilizing matter than five tons of guano. If the requisite works for the distribution of the sewage are carried on in a business-like man- ner, it is estimated to pay 10 per cent. interest _on the capital employed to distribute the ma- nure at the above-named rates to the farmer. Narrow Escape or Fayette kare The Lynchburg Virginian says:—On Friday last, Payette MeMullen, Ex-State Senator, Ex- member of Congress, Ex-Governor of Washing- ton Territory, and at present a sovereign re- siding in the county of Smyth, in this State, met with a very narrow escayé from death. It appears that he was riding on horseback, and on approaching the railroad, near Marion, discovered the train was near at hand, and running very rapidly. He at once checked his horse; but the animal becoming frightened dashed off. and reached the track where the road crosses, at the very momen: the approach- ing train got to that point. The horse was run over, and instantly killed, and McMullen thrown on the cow-catcher, where he remained for some moments, until the engineer was able to reach him and succeeded in Tagging bimon the engine—the train all the while being in 1spid motion. The most singular part of the whole transaction was the fact, that the Gov- ernor was not injured in the slightest degree. Eben 48 ap A MRS.
