Deatwor Aupraman Bowneis.—This gentleman, who was elected Alderman of the Thirteenth Ward, at the re- cent Charter election, died yesterday morning, et 10 o'clock, of an illness of several weeks duration. Alderman Pvrpy, President of the Board of Aldermen: and Assistant Alderman Brown, President of the Assist- ants, colled a special meeting of the two Boards, at 6 o'clock yestesday alternoen, to take measures relative thereto. Boaxo or Avpexmen.—Alderman Purdy rose and stated that he had received a communication the Mayor, stating the information of the decease of Alderman Bon- nell, which was read. ‘Alderman Lux then ted the following resolution, ae he prefaced with a few feeling and pertinent re- marks. Alderman Titov seconded the resolutions, and they Were unanimously adopted :— “Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in his wise Providence, to remove, by death our much esteemed and worthy associate, Hezekiah W. Bonnell, Alderman of the 13th Ward, and this Commun Council feeling desirous of expressing their grief at their bereavement, and of demon. strating their personal esteem for the virtues of the de- ceased, and their high respect and regard for his services san it dent and devoted member of the Board of Al- dermen—Therefore Resolved, That this Board deeply regret the loss they have sustained in the death of their esteemed associate, and that the: cerely symputhize with his family and friends in this disposition of an overruling Providence. ved, I{ the Board of Assistants concur, that a com- mittee of three from each Board be oe to make ar- rangements for attending the funeral of the deceased, and that the city flags be displayed on the City Hall at half mast on the day of the funeral. Resolved, If the Board of istants concur, that the Common Council will nd the funeral with their staves of office, and wear the usual badge of mourning for sixty days, and that the Joint Committee request his Honor the Mayor, and officers of the Common Council, to unite with them in paying the last tribute of respect to the memory ot the deceased. Resolved, That, ifthe Board of Assistants concur, his Honor the Mayor be requested to transmit a copy of these ~~ te the family of the deceased under the seal of e city. The President then sppolited Aldermen Lee, Clayton, and Tillou, a committee from the Board of Aldermen, in accordance wih the second resolution. ‘The Board then adjourned until Wednesday afternoon, at fi "clock. The funeral will take place at four o’clock on Monday afternoon, {rom his late residence, 25 Sheriff street . Boarp or Assistants—Saturday, May 3—President Brown stated that he had called the Board together on this occasion to communicate officially to them the death of Alderman Hezexian W. Bonwexz,of the Thirteenth Ward. He died at his residence this morning, after an illness of about two months. After some appropriate re- marks upon the subject of this meeting, the resolutions passed by the Board of Aldermen were sent in, and con- curredin by aresolution offered by Assistant Alderman Boggs, who accompanied them with the following re- Ma. \Paesipent—In moving a concurrence with the Board of Aldermen in the age of the resolutions re- dating to the death of H. W. Bonnell, Esq., it becomes my aininl duty to announce to the Board the death of the late Alderman ofthe Ward which I here - In doing so, it may be interesting (if my feolings will 'per- mit) to state a few particulars in relation to his history— his sick: andhisdeath. He was born in Mo , the yeer 1799, and died this da about 43 years old. Inthe year 1828 he engaged ness in this city, as a chair maker, and continued to pur- suethat branch of industry with profit and honor to him- self up tothe period of his last sickness. His business relations were always of the most regular cheracter.— His engagements were always promptly met; and it may be seid of him ‘his word was his bond.” For many years he took a et part in the political movements of the Thirteenth Ward. His uniferm good deportment, and his correct moral habits, secured to him the confidence of the people in a high degree; audjin the spriug of 1842 he Was elected to the officeof “Aldermanof the ‘Thirteenth ‘ard. Again, in 11843 was the continued confidence of tituents manifested in his re-election to that re- vas faithful in the discharge of his alth would permit. He pos- sessed asound and discriminating judgment, and in conse- quence of his urbanity and moderation, secured, I think I may say,the kind feelings of every member of the Com- mon Council, without regard to political opinions. Few men enjoyed a larger circle of warm and sincere friends, who will feel his loss a8 a personal bereavement, and de- plore his death asa calamity, as well to the city asto themselves. He was a person of great palio spirit, but at the same time, one who cherished the virtues and Fraces of quiet domestic life. His family, (consisting of is widow and seven interesting children) have sus- | tained by his death a deprivation which the world can never restore. They have a consolation however, in the fact that he has left them an unsullied name, and the brightness of a good example. He was taken sick about five months since with a bilious fever. For several weeks he was confined to his bed, but achange forthe better took place, and heso farre- covered as to be ablo occasionally to leave his house.

During the last tieo tbeuilinthe has been deolining in health (a relapso having taken place), and although hopes of his recovery were entertained un- til yesterday, yet suddenly this morning, at ten o’clock, his spirit took its flight. He retained his consciousness up to within ashort time before his departure. lt was my privilege, Mr. President, to visit him daily during his illness, and | am therefore enabled to bear testimony to the spirit of submission in which he bore his sufferings, and to his confidence in the goodness of God, which sus. tained him to the last. During our last interview, he ex- pressed his assurance of his interest in the atoning blood of Christ, and strong hopes of a blissful immortality. Let us, my associates, remember his name with respect, and while we ponder over this providence, let us reflect upon the uncertainty of human events, and be admonished to prepare to meet him in heaven. President Brown then appointed Aldermen Boggs, Nes. bitt, and Nichols, a committee to unite with a similar com- mittee trom the other Board, to carry the above resolu- tions into effect. And the Board ndjourned. Potrce —On Friday afternoon, Daniel K. Minor, of 88 Seventh street, entered the basement of his dwelling and found three men busily engaged in packing up all the household articles and wearing apparel within their reach. The family being out of the city, the rogues had full scope, and on the instant Mr. Minor seized one of the rascals and dragged him by the hair of his head and collar Flach hine 4 lice. On searching him at the house, two pocket handkerchiefs and a pair of pantaloons belonging to the premises were found in his possession, and he wastherejore fully committed for trial, under the neme of Thomas MeClusky, alias Burns. Drowney.—The body of an unknown man was found yesterday, at the foot of 12th street. He appeared to have been recently drowned, and was dressed in a black frock coat, valenc: potted muslin shirt, and was about 25 or 30 years of age. The body will be left at the Dead House, in the Park, during this day, for recognition. Deatu or Mr. Asyotr.—The death of Mr. Ab- bott of the Park Theatre,on Thursday afternoon, we have already noticed. From Mr. Barry we have learnt a tew facts respecting him. He was the son of a lawyer of that name in Lin- coln’s Inn. He has a brother still living, who is a lawyer of eminence ia England. Mr. Abbott was born in London about the year 1790, and was, there- fore, about 53 yearsof age. He was intended for the law—left school in 1809—had a runaway mar- tiage in 1810 or’11, his wife having some £16,000— spent a few seasons at Bath—embraced the theatrical profession—played at Covent Gar- den till 1822, when he went to Paris, where he spent two years as manager of the English company there. From Paris he went to Dublin, where he spent some three years—went back again to Covent Garden, where he played with Fanny Kemble—then took the management of the Cobourg Theatre. But it is worthy of notice that he always lost money as @ manager. About the year 1835he came to America—took the Charleston theatre, which he managed with his usual fortune for three years—and where also he had his first attack of Apoplexy. He has been one or two years now at the Park. On Monday night last he had his part assigned him as Hemaya in the play of the “Apostate.” He was actually performing his part inthat play—and the last words he ever uttered upon the stage were, “You have forgotten me— you forget yourself” — which he uttered in a strong full tone of voice,and in. stantly fell lifeless. This play had not been perform- ed before in some twelve years, and of course the audience did not at first perceive but that this was part of the performance. Even Mr. Placide, old an actor ashe is, being then in front, remarked, “Why I thought Hemwya did not die till the close of the piece.” ir, Booth, however, took him off from the stage—and physicians were inetantly sent for, seve- ral of whom arrived within fifteen minutes. It was his second attack of apoplexy. He had no pulse, and it would neither do to bleed him, nor to re- move him. Mr..Stetson, who happened to be pre- sent, kindly volunteered a cet, and other conve- niences frem the Astor House,and the best possible accommodations were made for him in the green room. On Wednesday he ‘was removed to his house, and was quite smart, and his friends thought he would recover. Thursday morning, however, he had a third attack of apoplexy, from which he never recovered, but died at halt-past four P. M. a merry fellow—kind, and affectionate— dote, ore and interesting in conver- sation Miss Buloid was his second wile. By his first he had five children, now living in England.— His = pa will be regretted by a multitude of trends. Farat Accroent —On Monday evening, about 10 o'clock, just as the East Boston ferry-boat was leav- ing this city, aman (name unknown) fell overboard. He screamed for assistance while in the water—and the boat was stopped, and search made for him, but he had disappeared. The body has not yet been recovered. From Trxas —The documents which we publish to-day from the Commander vob tne Te: Navy and from the Commissioner seat over by President Houston to take charge of the vessels, will, we trust, serve as full justification of those gentlemen, even with the most sensitive minded people among us, ‘The Houston Star expresses thefopinion, that the dispatches sent to the Government are of a nature that will induce the President to withdraw his pro- clamation of outlawry and express his approbation of the cruise. Thatisagreatdeal more than any Fal here will expect of Houston, at least in good faith. A Campeachy raccoaee arrived at Galveston on the 17th, with dispatches from Col Morgan and Commodore Moore to the Texan Government, and private lettere. The dispatches were forwarded im- mediately to Washington, the present seat of Go- vernment. The private letters, though not later than the accounts which we have had from Cam- peachy, contain some information not before re- ceived, and are otherwise interesting ; and we give them accordingly. We do not find any other news worth transcribing. A private letter from Col. Morgan, dated at Cam- peachy, May 10th, says:— “Te Lhave swerved from my orders or duty in any way, by taking the Mexican coast on our way to Galveston, it was for the benefit of my adopted country—fer which | have risked my life and am perfectly willing to loose it, provided I can only see her free at peace with the world. Com. Meore could not and ‘woul pot have pro- ceeded to this coast without my ; indeed, we were bound direct to Galveston, but for the information i our way out, which was of me to believe thet the Go- circumstances, 1 | hed not done so. “The fact is, that we have donemore to humble the pride of Mexico in this expedition, and have caused her jury, than any and every expedition sent against her before—besides breaking the charm of the great humbug Paixban’s! That Ampudia was arranging to concentrate all the Mexican forces in Yucatan and transport them direct to Texas, there can be no doubt. They had about 6000 troops in Yucatan—2000 of which had capitulate}, under Barregan end Lemus, near Merida, and Ampudia was disposed to treat wit the Yucatecos, finding hecould not subdue them. Then, with tne troops that were to join him at Vera Cruz and ‘ampico—some 700 or 900—he might have given Texes some trouble on | the coast, while troops might be marched in by land to annoy our border again—all of which our expedition hes frustrated beyond doubt, for Bi an and Lemus cannot now get away according to cay and will have to surrender at discretion. Ampudia’s troops are deserting every hour as fast asthey can get off; I see them coming in constantly ; and every one (of Lemus an rragan’s party) that can make his peace with the Indians, is like- wise deserting—so that you may put down the 6000 troops in Yucatan as nothing—their feet worse than useless, and if we catch one or both the steamers, you shall soon hear avmething still more pleasing.” The following is an extract ofa letter from Com. Moore to the editor of the Texas Tim: 8: or Wax Austin, } Off Campeachy, May 10, 1848 While at anchor off the Balize, two schooners errived from Campeachy bringing such information jz relation to the condition of affairs, that, upon consulting with Col. Morgan in relation to the peculiar position that Texas would be placed in ifthe squa‘ron did not .ppear off the coast o: Yucaten after having received money from them which enabled meto putto sea. 1 had pledged myself and my Government to appear off Campeachy andattack the Mexican squadron at the earliest possibleday. From my unavoidable deteation ia New Orleans, it was gene. sally believed in Yucatan that I had been bribed by the Mexican Government not to attack the blockading squa- dron, and in New Orleans many persons were saying that | was afraid to go to sea. It was my firm determination to have appeared off Gal- veston and reported the condition of the vessels to the D. partment, andthe reason of my not having done 60, is, that Col. Morgan, whois one of the Commissioners to carry out the secret act of Congress, (not one section or word of which have | yet seen) informed me that he had the power,as Commissioner, to take the responsibility, and that he would not only advise me to proceed to Gal- veston by the way of Yucatan, but that he woald accom- any me and risk his life and reputation in orderto save "exasfrom the charge, by Yucatan, of bad faith, and to see justice done to me. erous and noble in Col. Morgan, and I hope it will be appreciated by the people of Texas. We accordingly sailed the same day (April 19) tor Telhac where | had learned the Montezu- ma wasalone. f loaned, the day be‘ore yesterday,to the two American Captains, a boat in which ‘they went out to the fleg ship ofthe enemy, to get their Charter Parties signed, so that they could recover their freight, but Admiral Leopez would give them no satisfaction, although they were at anchor off Lerma, agreesbly to his instructions, and they ought of courseto be paid. ‘This is only anotherclaim on the part of the United States Government sgainst Mex- ico for indemnification. The position that I have been in for the last month,with the constituted authorities of the country of my adoption, isone of a most peculiar nature. I have assumed tremen- dous responsibilities to keep inviolate, so far as the Navy ‘was concerned, the faith ef Texas—I am accused of dis- obedience of orders, when I received orders that it was impossible to execute, and am accused of fitting out a p' ratical expedition, when in fact I was making every ucri- fice and straining every nerve to get the vessels te sca in a fighting condition, which I did at length accomplish, and what have dboa hea been done for the good of the conn- try, for I felt confident, that with the forceunder my eom- mand I would check them at least, aad let them see that Texas would yet meet them, and neither be whipped nor subdued by treachery. If I get a breeze, with the force | have here, they are whipped in ashort fight, and they have had repeated chances within the last ten days and nights, to attack us when it was calm or noarly 80, which they have invariably let alone. On the morning of the 7th, Admiral Lopez hauled in his flag on board the Guadaloupe and Com. Marine hoist- ed his broad pennant on board the same vessel. Yours, truly, . W. MOORE. New Orleans Bulletin. Tue Sanpwicn Istanns.—Remarking npon the cepture of these islands by the British, the New Orleans Bee says:—We venture to affirm that the recerds of rapine do not furnish a parallel case, whether as regards the frivolous nature of the pretext set up in justification of the proceeding, or the bullying and atrocious manner in which it was accomplished. The whole transaction bears undoubted evidence that Lord George was sent there to seize upon the islands, and subdue them tothe British yoke ; andthe insulting pertinacity with which heinsisted upon a quarrel with the feeble monarch of a semi-civilized race, has furnished the world with a sam- pler of gasconading pusillanimity that eclipses the fable of the “ Wolf and the Lamb,” in illustrating that/lowest of personal or national vices. ‘The New Orleans Bulletin says :—The 22d of February was celebrated in Honolulu, (Sandwich teers heed an entertainment given by the American residents there, to the officers of the United States ship Boston. The King and principal Chiefs of the Islands attended by invitation. ‘The ceremonies were very interesting and appropriate- Captain Long, of the Boston, made some remarks, con cluding by offering as a sentiment :— The flag of the Sandwich Islends—May it float over them in triumph as long as they stand amidst the seas.” ‘The flag which has been adopted by the peepleof the islands, since they aspired to rank with independent, ized nations, and sent ambassadors to the principal sof the world to obtain an acknowledgment of jonality, is a combination of the American, d British ensigns, under the joint patronage and protection of which ions they considered them. selves. Three days after that sentiment was offered by a Commander of the American Navy, and which moved, asour informant stated, the King and other natives almost to tears, the flag which was complimented was torn down by violent hands, gand the loeeay. cross of St. George streamed in insolent triumph over the fortress which had before displayed as well the tri-color andthe eagle. Will the tri-color and the eagle consent to be thus displaced, anda feeble people who voluntarily sought thelr pretec- tion and ado theiremblems, to be plundered of their territory and their nationality ? _ Destructive Fire.—About 2 o’clock this morn- ing, a fire broke out in the boiler manufactory on Dayton street, which consumed all the buildings on both sides of that street between Main and Prime streets, to the brick block on the corner, including the old Steamboat Hetel. About twenty tenements in all were destroyed. On Main street—F. & W. Spencer, grocery ; insured. W.S. Hunn, grocery ; loss heavy, and no insurance. Wm. Lovering, gro- cery. R. &C. Dodge, grocery, B. Lynchcumb, barber; M. Clor, shoemaker; Saml. Woodhams, clothing store. On Dayton street—John Newman, boiler manufactory ; C. Delany, blacksmith shop ; G. Hess, shoemaker; J. Riley, dwe! Seve families resided in the upper stories of the buildings on Dayton etreet. The buildings on Main and the south side of Dayton street, were owned by T. T. Sherwood, Eeq , of this city, and those on the north by Rufus King, of Albany. The buildings con- sumed were mostly of wood—very old—conse- quently the efforts of our noble firemen to arrest the devourta element were unavailing until these were decepyed. These are all the particulars we are ennbled to gather at the time of our going to prese— 5 o’clock.—Buff. Adv., Ist inst.

Congressional Canvassere—Their Merits Examined —Party Lines—Col. Lang—Collations— The Cal- houn Ticket—The Currency. My Dear Siz :— Here, in the tide of human events, I again find myself safely moored on the north side of the Gulph Stream. {shall open my baggage ina few days, and offer you such notices as my opportunities have allowed me to make. By the presses of this morning, I diecover Jame Dillet and Henry Goldthwaite, the former a whig, the latter a locofoco, are nominated by their respec- tive parties as candidates to canvass this Congres- sional district. Iam acquainted with them both, and a more equally matched pair, I have seldom seen, Neither is a great man—for each is nothing more than a Nisi Priuslawyer, whose books are not read, and, asa famous Judge once said of his au- thorities, “‘ mourned over,” that their principles may be faid to heart, ready for future emergency ; but are kept on their office shelves, as ladies keep taeir parlor lexicons, to be referred to as occasion may require. Each is stubborn, vehement, shrewd vigilant, wanting smoothness of address, lite- Tary acquisition and the power of commanding close thought. They are te meet on the following Satur- day at Clairborne, on the line of the river, and, in- stead of its being the manly struggle of Greek meet- ing Greek, twill be that of the “ Turk gainst Turk in sabre stroke.” The party lines will be drawn in 'a few days, and then bloody noses and bruised heads will be amon, the incidents of the contest. Ccl. J. W. Lang, o} the all-glorious militia service, isa prominent mem- ber of “the chivalry party,” and walks already as if he were full of the worst gas ot the political atmoe- phere. The Colonel is a small man, and lam sure that fighting—particularly if it be the legitimate duello—is a business in which he can never slowly. The gallant chevalier of this county’ ter-roll, received his Srinicn of things in the s when epaulettes were less common than onions, and the library of but few gentlemen in Mississippi, extended beyond an almanack ora national song. ster—a locomotive would have been thought a devil in harness. These were ‘rough and tumble” days, and, by many of the oldest settlers, are thought to be the Alabama GoldenAge. I hope my friend the Coionel will not take umbrage at me, for I like him very much in some points, and hate him directly in none ; and were he only to know the difference be- tween a great man in alittle circle and a little man in a great circle, as he ought to have done at Clair- borne, he would very much commend himself. The first municipal authority of this city lately gave a collation at his suit of rooms on St. Louis st. which was numerously attentied by persons of all parties, characters, sizes and sexes. The Mayor was in his best humor, and very much indeed com- mended himself to future consideration as a can- didate for re-election. Mr.S. Andrews, who gave a similar party a few weeks ago, feeling himself eclipsed by this one of the Mayor, has notified Miss Long, a celebrated restarateur, to fix him up a more splendid one still. Truly, i“ th of virtuous politics is pt ‘And we are deep in that of cold pretence.’ Rumor says the Calhoun division of the Demo. cratic ticket isto be filled up with the names of ‘Wm. D. Primrose and Daniel Chandler, Esqs., both good men, and bad 4 talented. There are no two men at one bar, who possess greater legal attain- ments. Heretofore our paper dollar has been worth eight dimes—to-day it has risen tonine. Ina day or so I’ll write you very fully. In the mean time, consider me yours. Gregory. d, .Suockixng Murper.—A gentleman from Rush- ville, Iadiana,*informe us that ai most appalling mur- der was committed in the vicinity of that place on the evening of the 21st inst., by a daughter upon the person of her father. Philip Barger, the mur- dered man, had Jong been in the habit of treating his wife and family in the most crue] and barbarous manner, especially when intoxicated, which was frequently the case. On the evening above stated, he came home under the influence of spirituous li- qpors, and commenced abusing his w: le threw her on the bed, in which si beating and choaking her in a most inhuman man- ner. She appealed to her daughter, a woman about 22 years of age, to assist herin escaping, upon which she picked up an axe, and inflicted several severe blows upon her father’s head, which terminated his existence almost immediately An Inquest was held over the body of the deceased on the same eve- ning, when it was found that his head was literally chopped to pieces! e¢ daughter was wedded, but a few years to a maa named Hubbard, who left her afew weeks after their marriage, since which she has been wan- dering about the neighborhood in a very unsettled state of mind—thought by most persons to be in- sane. Tho Rushville Whig, received at this office, states thi » Hubbard was arrested, on the mornin; er the murder, net having attempted to eacape, and after an examination before Justice Da- vis, she was committed for trial at the next October term of the Rush Circuit Court.— Cin. Message. A Surrosep_Prrate.—Capt. Rand, of the ship Ceylon, from Boston, arrived at New Orleans, has written a letter to the editor of the Tropic, in which he states, that on the 8th May, while Sonny alon; a few miles outside the reef to westward of San Key, and steering for Tortugases, a low black craft puseed within pistol shot to leeward, standing down the Gulf. There were a great many men on deck, and 6 or 8leoking out with spy glasses aloft, and re- connoitering a brigantine which was standing to westward. She appeared to have a pivot gun amid- ships, and several persons were at work as if hastil covering it over with vea jackets. Captain Ran thinks she is the same craft which has been szve- ral times before rponed as having been seen offthe Tale of Pines, an ests the possibility that she may be the Texianschr.

She was painted entirely black—sat very low in the water, was brig ed forward and schooner abaft, with a matntop sail and main top gallant sail, and appeared to move with great velocity through the water. Great For at Taunton.—We learn by the Taun- ton Whig, that, on Wednesday evening last, a fir was discovered jn the dry goods store of Mr. Bur of that town, which spread with such rapidity that all the buildings on the south side of Maine street, between Brewer’s Block and the Crocker Hause, were either consumed or re he to prevent the further ravages of the fire. Ten buildings were de- stroyed in five hours. The total loss on the build- ings alone is estimated at $30,000, and_ insurance is effected nearly equal at the Mutual Office, Worces- ter; Etna, Tart ord; Bristol, New Bedford; and Cohannet, Taunton. f List of sufferers (at Taunton flre)—Abner Pitts, jeweller; Henry Briggs, new store just finished; Charles Babbitt, hardware, cutlery, dcc.; Mr. Shaw, shoe dealer; Solomon ‘Woodward, Jr., dry | ad and millinery; John O.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. ——S ee From Taxas.—The arrival of the steam packet eae at New Orleans, brings Texas news to the ultimo. The Galveston Times, said to be the ablest r in Texas, has died for want of support. Dr. panes B. Miller has been appointed Secretary of the Trea- sury, and his accession to effice, from his high char- acter, is hailed asa harbinger of financial reform A public meeting was held at Galveston on the 20th ult at which the Hon. John M. Allen, Mayor of the cit presided, and a series. of resolutions were adopted, applauding in highest terms the conduct of mo- dore Moore, his officers and men, off Yucatan. The resolutions likewise approve the conduct of Col.Mor- gan, in giving his avowed sanction to the naval expedition. A successful foray was lately made by a party of Western volunteers, who went to the Mexican settlements near Matamoras, and captured about a hundred horses, which they brought into our western settlemente,— Another party intercepted a band of Mexican smugglers, and took from them about 4000 dollars in specie. These partial successeshave induced many young men to join the band of volunteers that are scattered along the Nueces; and itis not improbable that bands of one or two hundred men will soon be congregated in the territory west of the Nueces, and at length, emboldened by success, venture to make forays far beyond the Rio Grande. The Brazos riverhas been rising rapidly fer come days. Ithas overflowed its banks in many places, and has inundated a number of corn and cotton fields. Fears are entertained that the crops ‘on se- veral plantations near Washington, would be ruined.
