NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, July 31, 1845. MAILS FOR EUROPE BY THE Steam Ships Great Western and Britannia. EXTRA HERALD. The Great Western sails from this port to-day for Liverpool ; the Britannia leaves Boston to-mor- row for the same destination. The letter bags of the former close in this city at 2 o’clock, and those of the Britannia at 3 of 6 o’clock this afternoon. To meet the wishes of the public, we shall issue an Extra Herald at 4 past 1 o’clock, with the latest news received in the meantime for the Great West- ern; and another Zvtra at 8 o’clock with still later intelligence for the Britannia. These Eztras will contain, among other interesting matter for the Eu- ropean reader, the map of the Burnt District, whieh we published in the Weekly Herald. ; The price of these papers in wrappers will be two cents per copy. Texan Affalrs. On the outside of to-day’s paper will be found the official intelligence of the consummation of annexa- tion so far as Texas can consummate it. We give the proceedings in the convention, and the corres- pondence in full, as they are nearly the finishing stroke tothe business, and because they will be highly interesting to France and England, and to “the man in the white hat.” Our Congress winds up the whole matter by its ratification, and then ‘Texas willbe one of us. It will be perceived, on reference to the list of those who composed the Texan convention that, with two exceptions only, the members had a powerful infusion of American | blood in their veins.

During the last ten days, up to the reception of the first fearful accounts of the fire in New York, the travel in this region was greater than it ever was before. Day and night, the Cataract Hotel, kept considerably well by General Whitney & Sons, was crowded to suffocation. Recently the travej has fallen ofl very much, caused principally by very many of the New York travellers returning suddenly to the city in consequence of the great conflagra- | tion. Some Notes At this se of the year, aftegithe hurry of the | Spring trade is past, and several weeks before its | full revival takes place, the Canadians are almost in a state of torpidity. The arrival of the fall fleet in | September, and the introduction of the new crop into the market must be waited for before there is | any in business. We believe the farmers are | fortunate in the prospect of an abundant harvest; the ravage of the wheat fly, so detrimental to their inte- rests in past years, have almost disippeared in this This may stimulate business in the fall; forthe de- mand for goods in Canada is nearly altogether regu- lated by the means of purchasing afforded to the farmers by their crops. To a certain extent the price of timber so operates also, but to a trifling ex- tent compared with the agricultural mterest. Mer- chants are anxiously looking out fora good fall Yet this delightful, healthy place, is not by any | means resorted to so muchas it might be—and as i! | would be, if the same amusements and accommo- | dations were provided for them, as there are at Sa- | ratoga or Sharon. There is now only one large ho- | telon the Amenican side, the one I have already | mentioned, and that is supposed to be clearing from $12,000 to $18,000 a season, so great has the crowd of travellers increased of late years. On the British side, the Clifton House is kept in capita! style by Mr. Griffin, who formerly kept the old Eagle Hotel of this place, now shut up, and only occasionally used as aconcert room by musicians, vocalists, and In- dian psalm singers, In the way of amusements, during the days, we have had quite a variety. First, Ole Bull, who, assisted by Mr. Duilield, » very good singer, gave a couple of concerts, both pretty well attended. After Ole, followed Welsh & Delivan’ last few rev and fifty men. They drew out all the bone and mus-, cle—the village beauty and black eyes in odo- | tiferous perfection, Horsemanship and still vauliing decidedly draw the crowds inthe country villages. The manner and style in which Welsh’s famous company travel over the land and amuse the country people, is the most picturesque and romantic aflair in the world. Goethe’s William Meister is not more interesting. But enough on the horses—they were followed bv a company of Indian singers from the Tuscarer? village, situated on the mountain cliffs, below the | Falls, and looking over Ontario’s blue waters pany. Their music was a sad jumble of discords, | picked up from the common church psalmody; but yet they have voices and materials to make them novel enough to look a as itis called Our superior cl to the whole of Oregon—to the bouadary line ¢ 54 40, as arranged with Russia, | are not universally uaderstood in this covntry—not | even by all those who unhesitatingly assert our right | to the wh y of an im-| prim waiter briefly in our columns, in public a clear view of the question. | ividypamphiets and public documents, | !, but active,ener, Americans, | rtunes, have only time to read newspapers, after they have once started upon active business pursuits This matter, in all its ramifications, is thus ar- ranged ia ovr minds and according to unimpeach- | able testimony.

But in this part of the world, all the enterprize and capital of the land is directed towards the eop- per and silver mines of Lake Superior. Preparations are making,| hear, to form companies tor copper and silver mining, equal to $20,000,000, if notmore. Some of the original speculators have made fortunes of $30,000—some of $40,000—some | of $50,000—all originally created out of an invest- | ment of a fewer hundreds. The steamers going up the lakes, towards Milwaukie, are crowded with speculators, capitalists, fortune % hunters, copper | diggers, and silver miners. This singular mania of making fortunes by mining for copper and silver, will, in a few years, settle the | whole southern or American side of Lake Superior, with an active population in a very brief space of Cramts or Great Britain. 1878.

It has been assert ed, and’ is now maintained by eminent Statesmen, that even if our right by discovery and purchase was inferior to that of Great Britain, we can never per- mit that or ay European nation to oeeupy a single foot of svil on this continent that they do not now own and cultivate. It is true American policy— the declaration of M, Guizot to the contrary not- withstandiag—to regulate the affairs of North Ame- rica, and in the course of a few short years, those of South America also. This was the declared policy of President Monroe, and so far as Oregon is con- cerned, it was, we believe, the subject matter of a dispatch written by Mr. Rush, when Minister in England, to the British Government. It is not our intention, however, to assert any abstract claim to Oregon; it is unnecessary todo so, Our right is de- rived from two sources sufficiently irresistible for our purpose. First, the right by discovery ; second the rigitby purchase. Yet, in the face of these it has been thrown out, probably, by autho. rity, that the Secretary of State and the British Minister had agreed upon the 49th degree as the boundary line. It is not likely that that degree of latitude has been settled upon, although the Secretary of State was, and is evidently willing to accept it as the line of demarcation. The rumor that it had been arranged, was circulated to feel the public pulse, and when it was ascertained time. The great central pointfrom which these spe- culations proceed, appears to be Boston, but the spirit is now extending to New York and the whole north ern and eastern States. Whatever be the resuit of this mining mania to individuals (and dozens will be entirely ruined) the country will gain—particular- ly northern Michigan and Wisconsin, the regions to which these speculations are directed. The great in- land seas and navigation of the northwest—the towns and cities on the shores of the several lakes, from Buffalo to Chicago, will also be benefited. The oftener and longer I see Niagara Falls, the more Tam delighted with its scenery—its salubri- ty—its beauty—its sublimity—and particularly with its capability to become one of the greatest inland manufacturing marts that the world ever saw. The water power here, easily accessible, is sufficient to equal all the steam power of England. The geological formation of the country is such and so peculiar, as to give facilities fora series of waterfalls, equal in height to that at Lockport, for a distance of 80 or 100 miles, running along the mountain ridge from Lewiston, till it loses itself in the Genesee flats east- ward. The proximity of Niagara to the cotton, iron, copper, coal, and wool of the surrounding States, east, south, and west, is greater than that of any other locality in the world. The natural advanta- ges of this wonderful place for these purposes are so great, that the same men and enterprising capital- ists who created Lowell, in Massachusetts, first nog tiated for property and water power in this place having failed for some cause in making a good gain, they afterwards settled down upon Low Niagara must in process of time, become the gre: Manchester, or manufacturing mart of the v The property on the American side is prince’ held by the Porter family, who must eventuall made very wealthy by the increase and population of the country. If they were, even now, to dispose at a cheap rate, of every alternate lot of ground they own, they would make them in our day much more valuable than they are. On the British side, a large amount of the property is owned by James Buchan- an, Esq., late British Consul in New York. Mr, Buchanan, now retired from office, lives in a lovely country residence, and enjoys his otium cwm digni tate within the roar of Niagara. Signor Antognini has just arrived, and gives a concert to-morrow. Roration tn Orric everal days ago we men_ tioned that the President had settled upon twelve years as the longest term a democrat could hold of- fice. ‘This statement the Union denied in its usual felicitous manner. It now appears that we were correct. That term has been agreed upon in Cabi. net Council, and several hundred aged heads, here and elsewhere, are soon to roll in the dust, on the principle of rotation.

From Jamaica.—A letter of July 6th says :—‘ All vessels trom New York will have to undergo rigor- py quarantine, on account of the small pox. is Lordy the Bishop of Jamaica, with his family, chaplains, (Who came inH.M steamer Hermes from Nassnti P, where the sinall pox was brought from New York) are all undergoing quarantine at the Apostle's Battery. Seven Indians and three squaws formed the com-| | mined to effect an improvement in building houses trade, as the stock of merchandize is heavy in the market. Dry goods have badly remunerated impor- ters, simply because there is an excessive supp'y. It is a matter of surprise that the London, Manchester and Glasgow manufactures and warehousemen con- tinue to send enormous supplies of goods into that market, having learned so often, particularly in 1842 and 1843, the hazard it is attended with. But so Jong as profuse piles of fabrics he in British ware- houses unsought and unpurchased, offers from buy- ers in any quarter will not be refused. The arrivals in the ports of Quebec and Montreaj are now few. From Montreal on the 26th July, cleared, brig Susannah for Plymouth, with grain, stay d deals; and the brig Mecea for Glasgow, wiih poi aud pearl ashes, staves and flour.

The amount of depots inthe Montreal Savings Bank on July the 2th, wos £13,737 13 0, a large sum for a place of its popntation, aad shows its people to be of a provi- dent disposition. Polives are little spoken of, as far as can be inter- «| from the Canada papers, which are chiefly filled with personal disputes and statements in refer- ‘nce to the late fire in Quebee. Collections con- tinue to be made for the sufferers throughout the country, in all parts of which sympathy was strong- manifested. At the last weekly meeting of the somumittee in Pacha held on the 21st inst., the Treasurer stated in his report the whole sum re- evived up to that date to be £27,747, out of which there had been paid £9,882, leaving a balance in hand of £17,865. At this meeting a resolution was adopted to request the British Consuls_to make col- lections at their respective stations in aid of the relief fund. We observe that the corporation have enacted a bye-law “to provide for the construction ; of dwellings in such way as to diminish the danger from fire;” and that those who have the disposal of the funds for the relief of the sufferers are deter- by withholding aid from all who do not conform to the prescribed conditions in regard to the erection ot _new houses. In Montreal the authorities have found it necessa- ry to interfere in putting a stopto the conduct of cab drivers, which had become a nuisance. This is only what occurs in every place, for it appears from the experience of New York, and of the English cities as well as every other, that drivers of public vehi- cles are the most unruly set of fellows to be found, when not under a strict municipal supervision. Two new Catholic Bishops have been consecra- ted in Montreal, where imposing and splendid ce- remonies took place in the Bishops’ Church. The Clergymen elevated to the episcopate are the Right Revered N. Blanchet as Bishop of Oregon, where he hasbeen a missionary for eight years, and the Reverend J. C. Prince, Coadjntor of Montreal. ‘There were present at the ceremonies the Bishops of Montreal, Toronto, and Kingston, and the Coadju- tors of Kingsten and Quebec, besides not less than 150 of the Clergy. Sporting Intelligence. Tue Foorrace Brrween Barron anp Sewarp No Go.—The match fora race, made some time since, between these two pedestrians, announced to come off to-day, on the Beacon Course, Huboken, will not take place, Seward paying forfeit. He has been in heavy training for some time past, and had so far reduced himself, that upon trial yesterday morning, he found that he was not able to perform anything like what was expected from him. So, in justice to his friends and supporters, and with their advice, agreed to act as stated. It must be borne in mind that a mile is a much greater distance than Seward has been in the habit of performing; in his other matches, his disiance has seldom or never ex- ceeded half’a mile,and for which’he seldom or never trains. There is a match in Cee a ita between Sew- ard and the Canadian horse Hops, to go a quarter of a mile and leap ten hurdles, each three feet 6 inches high. The backers{of Seward want a start of twenty- five yards in his favor, which it is expected, will be conceded, or at least a start of afew yards. The af- fair is expected to come off as soon as Seward re- covers his strength. Cricxet.—We learn that a match is to take place to-morrow on the St. George’s ground, Blooming- dale road, between two elevens of the St. George’s Club. A large number of the first players of this Club have proceeded to Montreal, to play a match there, but we understand there is enough left to make two good elevens. The popularity of this manly game is rapidly increasing, and we doubt not there will be a large number ot spectators in attend- ance. The wickets are to be pitched at 9 o’clock, and play called at 10 o’clock. Trorrine on THE Camnripce Course, Bostox.— | On Tuesday a trotting match came off for a purse of | #100, mile heats, best three in five, under the sad- dle, to carry 145 lbs.

B. Marti- nez alias Martial, one of the wealthiest and most influential men of color of the Island, who had been convicted by a court martial for having been one of the most active chiefs in the colored insurrection of Matanzas, nothing worth relating had taken place. It seems that the soldiers of several regiments in garrison in the Island have taken great dislike to their officers, and several of them had attempted the lives of their superiors. Two of them, Jose Vasquez, achassew of the regiment of Naples, was shot on the 15th, for having killed the corporal of his eom- pany, by shooting him with his musket; and another named Manuel Grarcia, a private of the regiment of Leon, was executed in the same manner for having also fired his piece at his corporal, with the intention of killmg him. On the 13th also, a negro called Juan Gunso, who had been arrested for stealing on board the Ameri- can packet F. A. Brown, and had been condemned to be fogged, received eighty garrotes on diflerent points of the bay, in sight of the whole shipping.— Capt. Westbrook of the B. was much complimented tor the vigilance he kept on board his vessel, to which is entirely aseribed the detection and appre- hension of the scoundrel. The subscription in favor of the sufferers by the creat conflagration at Matanzas amounted, at the atest dates, for the city of Havana, to $9,444 68}, and three days previous, for the city of Matanzas, to $2,116 43). ‘ a a Toe Among te passengers in the Rapid,we notice the names of the Hon.

Navy, from American Minister, §c. It will afford you renewed satisfaction to learn that peace continues to reign throughout this Re- public, under the auspices of the politic and able administration which directs its destines. The government, as established by the people in 1830, appears to be fixed upon a firm basis and receives the cordial support of an immense majority, while the President and cabinet endeavor to forward the best interests of the country with energy, though the means in them invested by the Constitution and the Legislature. The Venezuelians owe a debt of magnitude to their great military commander and noble citizen, his excellency General Joseph Antho- ny Paez, for his earnest and sucessful efforts to re- duce the enormous and malevolent military influence which existed previous to the separation of Vene- zuela from the old Republic of Colombia in 1830. General Paez was probably the only man who hed sufficient influence over the military to bring it un- der the subjection of the civil laws. During the existence of the Colombian Government, the mili- tary and civilians were in continual broils and con- tentions, in consequence of the insolent bearing of the former. Happily for the well being and stability of the present institutions and republican form of government, the large standing army has been redu- ced to a few soldiers, sufficient for garrison duty, and the due enforcement of the laws when required. In our next we shall give you an insight to the commercial affairs of this country, internal im- provements, Wc. 4 3 We beg leave to call your particular attention,and that of your readers, in reference to the enormous import duty exacted by the Venezuelian Govern- ment upon flour introduced into this country, which amounts to upwards $4,50 of this currency per bar- rel. [f weare not greatly mistaken, our Charge d’Afliirs near this government,has used every etfort to procure a reduction of the duty upon the article mentioned, without a satisfactory result. It would appeur to be the duty of the United States Govern- ment to enter into a serious discussion with this Gove sament, in order to procure a solution of this question, whether a perfect reciprocity is observed by Venezuela towards the United States. While the staple productions of Venezuela are principally introduced | to the United States free of duty, one of our great articles of export is made to pay an exor- bitant duty to Venezuela. We learn with extreme regret, that our present Charge d’Affairs, Vespasian Ellis, , is soon to returii to the United Statas. This estimable gen- tleman, and able minister, has gained the sympa- thies of the Americans residing in this country. without exception; of the suprerge authorities, an of the respectable inhabitants of the capital. Mr. Ells will receive proofs of the distinguished consi- deration and respect in which ke is held by citi- zens of both countries, taking into consideration, equally, his character as a gentleman, and asa re- presentative of the United States government.

New Orteans, July 21, 1845. Stale of things in New Orleans—Murders, §c. A word with you on the affiirs in the “‘ Crescent.” In reading my Herald to-day, of the 12th inst., I find a letter from New Orleans, with a notice of the death of Miss Blanchard. I regret this, inasmuch as it brings this lady in connection with a woman of a very different character. It was a Rosaline Cainpbell who died, if you recollect, a few weeks since. She caused the death of the lamented Cres- well. Miss Blanchard still lives, and the rascal Pet- tiway has left, ’tis said, for your good city. To what a pass have we arrived in the good city of New Orleans. Let us take a look back about six months. To commence, Hatch, in cold blood, kills young Jackson. Bruno kills an intimate, friend, directly after dining with him. Hornsby murders the aged Too good. Kennedy starts out to killa man who has insulted him, meets Wait, and, by mistake, murders him. Swetzer and Pond murder Creswell. All these are late occurrences ; all have been tried, and, with the exception of Ken- nedy, who has been found guilty, all may be met at the ‘St. Charles. All these cases have been wilful and deliberate murder. In the case of Creswell, the jurors have met the just arate eacer of the pub- lic. This was a concerted, cold-blooded murder. Saturday rail fellow was found guilty of an at- tempt to kill. He will get five years of Baton Rouge. The Picayune, in noticing it, remarks that he should have killed his man to have escaped! The law is not with us. The troops leave us to-day for Texas. They are a remarkably fine-looking set of men. However, I do not believe they will have anything to werk upon. We do not think of war; no such good news. It would be to us a pleasant summer-excursion—this walk into Mexico. Weare very dull, and the weather fatally warm; as yet no sickness, but the doctors agree it must come. Nous verrons. z Cotton dull, only 6,000 bales in the market.

Trinity Con.ece, Hartrorp, July 27, 1845. Another Accownt of the Fight with the Faculty. I take the hberty of furnishing you with the parti- culars of a serious rebellion which has just taken place in our college. Last week a procession of students was formed, in order to lay the eorner stone of a new college now being}erected. Inthe absence of the Pre- sident, (he being at Pittsfield with his daughter, lately injured on the rail-road,) the senior Professor, deeming the whole matter an irregularity, in a very hasty and peremptory manner ordered the procession to stop, and the students to disperse. They, bent on the execution of their design, (that of having a little harmless sport,) refused to do so, declaring that, as the ceremony was to take place out of the hours ap- propriated to study, they had a right to continue their operations, and amuse themselves as they thought fit. He however insisted upon a disconti- ance of the proceedings, but they refused to comply with his command, and the corner stone was ac- cordingly laid with due form. The consequence was the rustication of three or four of the leaders. The students immediately had a meeting, and_re- fused to recite until the others were restored.

Gray, arrived at New York on the [8th inst, from St. Catharines, with 500 barrels of sperm oil, shipped home by the whaling barque Elizabeth, of Mattapoisett. From a letter received in town we learn that Cap Jenney, of the Elizabeth, and Mr. Bridgeton, were detained at St prisoners, upon acharge of evading the duty of $1 per barrel upon oil reshipped at that port. We understand that the oil was transferred from the Elizabeth to the Bridgeton in one of the bays adjacent to the harbor of St. Catharines, and afterthe transfer had been made, a boat appeared from the shore !olding out inducements to tne officers of vessels to go on shore for supplies of refreshments, pt.

The loss, we un- derstand, will probably be from $20,000 to $30,000. We are informed that there ivan insurance on the building and stock of $10,000 inthe Merchants’ office of this city, end $3000 in the Equitable Society. The fine woollen factory, ashort distance from the buildings consumed, was saved by the untiring exeruons of the bands on the place. assisted by neighbors who were attracted to the soene by the light, which was seen ploinly al a great distance, We learn that the proprietors purpose to com: monce re-building immediately. We are requested to state that the above fire will not interfere with the operations of the woollen factory. Baltimore Patriot, July 90. Wownvers.—The arrival of a tial visitaht ix thus noticed in the St, Lonis Mis nm, of the Loth : We uaderstand that a bright luminous body, larger tho largest planet, was seen yesterday morning ; it rose about midnight, and had a vory unsteady light.

On account of the disa greeableness of the weather, the house was not al- together as crowded as on the preceding evenings, but there was, however, a very fair audience. Anaccident,which might have had very bad conse- quences, but which, fortunately, however, turned out to be only a very narrow escape, occurred during the performance. At the end of the first act, as the procession passed,"one of the horses beeame a little restive just as the curtain was falling, and carried its rider rather too much in front of the stage, the curtain fell on the neck of the horse, and struck the rider also a little on the head and in the breast, bat the helmet and steel breastplate which the latter wore, protected him, so that he felt the blow very slightly enly. To-night will be represented for the first time, La Dame de St. Tropez, a thrilling{drama, based on the famous Glandier wagedy, better known in this country under the name of ‘Trial of Madame } Lafurge for the murder of her husband.” There are few of our readers who have not heard of this event, and the interest of the play must be certainly in- creased by the knowledge of the real incidents on | which it 1s founded. To add to the general interest, it may be well here to mention that this play will be | acted by Messrs. Montassier, Mathieu, Bernard, &c. Mlle. Maria, and 3M’mes. Richer and Mathieu, ar. tists whose talent has been acknowledged by all who witnessed their performance in the dramas and vaudevilles which have been already acted in ! this city by the company, This play will be pre- | ceded by the second representation of Le Chalet, a | comic opera acted by M’me. Coouriot and Messrs- Douvry and Coeuriot. The success which this lively opera has met with on its first representation | this season, and the talent of the three artists en- gaged init, offer, with the drama mentioned above, such an attraction as will undoubtedly secure a very large audience. Friday night, by general request, will be given La | Fille du Régiment, one of the finest comic operas of Donizetti. The sprightliness of this opera, enhanced | still by the spirited acting of M’lle. Calvé, the delight, | ful singer, has rendered it a very favorite one. Mr. Ceeuriot, who, on account of his indisposi- tion, was prevented from acting the part of | Tonio, when this opera was represented a few} evenings ago, will appear in it on Friday. This delightful opera will be accompanied by the mirth- ful vaudeville Mile D’Angeville, a very comical play, in which M’me. Comuriot appears in four differ- ent characters, supported by the talentof Messrs. Mathieu, Oternot, and M’lle Eugénie. Castis Garpen.—The performance went off ad- mirably last night, and was much applauded by the numbers who nightly congregate in that delightful | place of amusement.

Police Intetligence. : Orrice, July 30—Constructive Larceny—A No- ~A curious and somewhat ludicrous scene oc- curred at the police office yesterday morning. A fat gentleman,very red in the fice, and very much excited, came pufling and panting tothe bar, and enquired for the magistrate, stating that he was the agent {or a house in Cherry street, occupied by Patrick McDonohue and wife, who had failed in paying the rent. They had, how- ever, paid part afew days previous, and he had called that day for the balance. McDonohue, however, after informing him of their inability to comply with th request, became so extremely yoluble that the poor agent was nigh driven to distraction—he therefore drew from his capacious pockets two whole shillings, and lay- ing it downon the table, promised to give it to the lady, oncondition that she wouid be quiet. ‘The lady took tho money, but failed to comply—she would not be quiet, not she; no mortal man should stop her in expressing her opinions—nor would she give up the p0n65 what was tobe done? The lady’s tongue went like the clack of a mill—buzz, buzz, buzz—whirr, whirr, whirr. Tho agent’s red nose ‘turned blue, and his little grey eyes twinkled curiously—he couldn't stand it though, and the lady wouldn't let him sit; so he vanished through the door-way, the sharp voice of Mrs. McDonohue ring- ing in his ears all the way to the police office, where he came as he said for tl ose of demanding a warrant for grand larceny. The Magistrate who had listened to this story looked grave and replied--' You mean a war- rant for constructive larceny.” Acrnt.—No, rand larceny. Macistrare. 1, sir, go to that gontloman, (point- ing to one of the clerks who seemed nigh bursting with | laughter.)

Acenr.—Well, sir, ll go and consult him, And so he left the office. This morning he came again, and calling the Clerk on one side gravely informed him that he had. consulted Mr. Price, who had carefully examined Black- stone and arrived at the conclusion that nothing could be done about it, the case not being clearly defined. Iie | intended, however, examining the matter himse!!, as ho believed there must be some law to compel the lady to keep her word and be quiet as she promised.

Captain Prraan, of said vessel, testified that prisoner threw a bucket of “ mush” upon the deck of the vessel, and refused to swab the deck afterwards, on being or- dered by him (the captain) ; and subsequently tucked up his sleeves, and threatened to beat the captain, or any man on deek who should attempt to ferce him to do duty; | dealing in gross “Billingsgate” abuse at the time, and swearing like a trooper. The prisoner was found guilty, and was ordered to be remanded for sentence. Captain Farran, of the bark Stephen Brower, was on the charge of assaulting ascaman, named Redding, at Rio, and forcing him on shore.’ The deposition of Redding was read, when the captain was acquitted—the jury not leaving their seats. 5 Brooklyn City Intelligence. Boy Neanty Drownen—Herote anb Successrur, Ar- temp? To Save Him—Pxoressionat Pourrenness.—About five o'clock yesterday evening, a number of boys were amusing themselves on the Waters edge near Grey’s Baths, when one of them, named Mosier, about 11 years of age, fell into the river, and was carried away by the tide which was fast ebbing at the time. This was ob- served by aperson of the name of Larry Powers, who immediately plunged into the stream, und when the boy arose to the surface the thirdtime, he seized hold of him and with some difficulty bore insensible in his arms tothe shore, He was immediately placed upon a barrel and rolled for afew minutes, whieh caused him to dis- charge a great quantity of water from his stomach, and he then gave signs of sensibility. He was thea conveyed to a Drug Store in Fulton street, kept by aperson of the name of Howard, and was taken into a back room by some one in attendance, who refused to allow any person accompeny him. Ina few moments afterwards two I gentlemen of the names of Corson and Ayres, o had been sent for, arrived atthe store and eadea- vored to gain admission.to the boy, but were most rude- ly and ungentlemanly repulsed by the individual before | alluded to,and were told their services were sot wanted. Dr. Corson said he was a Physician, and believed the boy belongedto a family that he regularly profession- ally attended, and would not be turned out in that way. The other replied that he did not turn him out, but that he would not let him in; the boy was in no danger, and did not require any further assistance than what he was then receiving. The medical gentlemen and several oth- er respectable persons who had entered the store, to as- certain the result, then withdrew in evidout disgust at such conduct. Swaut. Pox Contrapictey.—We are informed by a re. spectable colored gentleman, school teacher in Nassau near Jay st ,that there is no foundation for the report that the oolored children have been afflicted with the small pox.

We have since learned that the lot then referred to was a part of some recent importtions from Buenos Ayres, at this port and New York, which paid a duty of 5 per cent ad valorum, as costing Y cents per pou under, at the place of exportation, but which ha been discovered to have been grestly undervalued, and consequently subject to the nighest rate speci- fied in the tariff—3 cents per pound and 30 per cent. ‘The whole quantity which ic is alleged has been thus im. under false invoices is between 500 and 600 bales, it from $75,000 to $100,000. It has nearly ali been seized—300 bales having been taken inthis city or Lowell, in the hands of manufacturers who had pur- chased if from the importers, and the balance in York. The principal part of the woolcame to New York, consigned to Messrs. W. W. La Forest & Co., by aforeignhouse. The lot that arrived here came from the same house to Messrs. Barnard, Adams & Co. The fraud was first suspected inthe Bostom custom house, and we believe the government officers, both here a in New York, are ‘principally indebted to the vigilance and activity of 8. J.

For lifty or sixty rods from the pond the excavation is most- y in granite, an the ridge it passes through is consi- derably higher than the pond, this portion uf the route will be quite expensive.
