een seamen No tidings of either the Cambria or the Chris- tophe Colomb have yet been received. Both must be near land, and we should not be sur- dif we receive some news in the course of Aun Extra Herald will be issued the mo- pri to-d ment we receive it The Whig City Government—What Have they done?..Will the Apple Women An- swert Our citizens, we are sure, cannot forget the outery whieh the whigs of this city made for a month or six weeks previous to our last charter election, about the extravagance and corruption of the democratic city ad- ministration, and the reductions, reforms, and retrenchments which their party would effect, if thé voters would try them once more, and again put the reins of the city government into their hands. They even went so far as to suy that the city government had no- thing to do with politics ; that in case of their success, they would not remove competent men from their situations because they might differ from them on the propriety of the political mea- sures and principles of the two purties,and that the only test they would require would be competency and trustworthiness for the offices they held. But this is not all. The streets were to be effectual- ly and economically swept and cleaned—the most rigid economy was to be exercised in the city expenditures—and every disbursement which could be dispensed with, consistently with aproper administration of the government, would be abolished. These were the promises that were made bee fore the election; and although we knew the whigs of old to be as derelict in performing their promises as the democrats are, yet we thought their long absence from office, and the impor- tance of holding this city at a time when the Presidential election was approaching, would in- duce them to make an effort at all events to fulfill their promises. With this belief, and for the sake of reform, we favored their party in the struggle, and claim to have exercised a little influence in achieving their return. We must confess that we have been again de- ceived in them; and we honestly own that from what we can judge of what they have done in the six or seven weeks that they have been in office, we regret having given them a helping hand. Not a word has been suid about reforming the abuses which they’soreloquently denounced be- fore the election. The outrageous expenditures which their orators in ward meetings and mass meetings stigmatised asa disgrace to the city, and not to be tolerated by the tax-paying portion of the county, is as yet unremedied, and the probability is that the taxes for the year 1847 will be as great as they were for the year 1846, if not greater, We do not speak in this manner without ~ knowledge of what we are saying. We have carefully watched their progress since their in- duction into office, and further than decapitating democratic office holders, filling their places * with whigs, and overturning the stands of a few apple women and root-beer sellers, we do not see that they have done anything. At their meet- ings no measures have been taken to reduce the expenses of the government, nor has, we believe, the subject of retrenchment been even alluded to in sober earnestness. We can inform this whig Common Council that unless they mend their ways, and that, too, speedily, they will walk the plank next spring as certainly as their predecessors did last spring. The people want not a repetition of the “shines” which the whigs carried on when the natives were in power a short time since. They will never look at the upsetting of apple stands and root beer bottles, in the light of | reform or retrenchment. The voters ofthis city, | and particularly the tax payers, will not have dust thrown in their eyes by an officer, who, by | virtue of a little brief authority, oppresses and | tyrannises over a few old women, who eell ap- ples and candies, rather than go to the alms } house, and be fed by public charity. What makes this farce the more ridiculous, and what convinces us that it isa mere flash in the pan, isthe fact that these whig officials, acting, no doubt, by the direction of their masters, confine | their little reforms to the apple women. If they really wish to abate what has long been felt *a | nuisunce—viz: the obstruction of side walks, let them make no discrimination between an apple woman, a root beer woman, or the builder of a house. We see daily barrels | of lime, bricks, large bales and boxes remain on | the sidewalks from one end of the week to the other; aad further, we see permanent signs con- | structed of boxes, in narrow streets, which are a serious obstruction to pedestrians, and which | render those streets almost impassable. {ndeed, it is almost impossible for females to go through | these streets without having their apparel torn | and destroyed. Wecare not for these things | ves, but why wage a war of extermination | against apple stands and root beer barrels, and | allow as great an evilfto remain,? Is this city reform? | We beg to inform the whig government of this | city that they have commenced “ reforming” the | wrong way; they have commenced at the wrong | end. Their constituents would much prefer that | the apple-women be allowed to remain as they | were, until the big abuses were removed. When they see the cleaning of the streets performed by | contract, and the other great reforms which be- | fore election they said were #0 necessary, they | will let them fire away at the unfortunate apple women as? much as they please, provided, how- | ever, that all other obstructions be removed at the | same time. | Messrs. Whigs, you have been again trusted— you have been elevated to office by conservative tax payers, for the sole purpose of lightening the expenses of the city, and stemming the tide of ex- travagance which flowed from the democrats. If you fail in doing it, out you go, as surely as | you are now in, and when you next get in office, the heads of your youngest men will be as grey os badgers. Markthat. Take care. | Apvice to our Frienps.—We are informed that our down-town friends are daily imposed upon by the little raseally newsboys, who with a | handfull of papers, and an air of great importance, baw] out, “Great news from Mexico”—‘“‘Another | battle”—** Loss of the Oregon,” &c. &c., every day about half-past two or three o’clock. They refuse to sell a paper, too, under six-pence, which is four cents and a half more than what they pay for it—for the purpose, no doubt, of indueing the beliet in the purchasers that the news is of great moment. The way in which these little shavers shave the Wall street folks is plain enough.— They get the evening edition of the Herald and ol) it as an extra; but our friends must look be- fore they purchase, and then they won't be de- ceived. Sharp as the Wall street bially are, they are not r people prover- the neweboys. | Accwent at Savannan.—Mr. James Buker | a young merchant of Savannah, was thrown from his horse in that city on the 11th instant, and instantly killed.

Steamers, &c.---Owing to the severity of the gale on Mon- day night, the Oregon, frem Stonington, und Knickerbocker, from Aliyn’s Point, could not get through, and were constrained to put back. According to the following, an accident happen- ed to the Oregon :— [From the Boston Traveller, June io, At the time that the steamer Oregon left Stonington last night, it blew gale of wind, which increased to such an extent that when off Saybrook bar, Capt. Thay- er concluded to put about and return to ‘Stonington 2 ‘While the boat was going about, and had got into the trough of the sea. five or six heavy waves struck her on the larboard side, near the wheel house, with such force as to carry away the bulkheads, and flood the deck with water to the depth of three or four feet. The scene of confusion and fright which ensued, cannot be described. Passengers, of both sexes, with terror depict- ed in their countenancer, were wading through the water, and were often’ in contact with bales of goods, that were floating about. Some even imagined that she was sinkin; No further damage, how- ever, occurred, and t! boat, when once before the wind, soon got back to her berth at Stontagtan., where she remained at the last advices, and would not probably leave again before daylight. We understand that the Oregon behaved very well in the emergency, and proved herself to be a first rate sea boat A good deal of freight is, without doubt, damaged by the water. Very little, if any of the water, got into the cabins, it being the practice to keep them shut up during heavy weather. One gentleman, itis stated, being unable to sleep, in consequence of the force of the gale, had ven- tured out for the purpose of smoking s cigar, and was just in the act of placing it in his mouth when the water ‘came on board; in the twinkling of an eye, his middlo th diater, oad bis slinpece, wisial his feet, were floating by his side. The Oregon again started, and reached her pier at the Battery at 4 o’clock yesterday morning. She left on her return trip at 9 o’clock, and will continue her regular trips as heretofore. We learn that she sustained very little injury. The Knickerbocker had not arrived at noon, and will not come till this morning. She laid over one day.

The Courier, as our merchants will admit, is one of the tastest ships sniling out of New York, and her commander, Capt. Wolffe, acknow. ledged to to be one of the ablest seamen in charge of a vessel. His nautical ability .and skillin seamanship has been frequently brought to our notice by the rapid passages his ship has made to and from Rio Janeiro. The voyage on which he is about to sail, will make the fifty-second to Rio Janeiro, all of which he has successfully accomplished, and without loss or accident. ‘Trova.E amone THE Vo EER OPFFICERS.— As we published the statement of Col.

Pana Tutatar.—The grand festival given by Senor Villarino, in honor of Signora Manuela Barges de O’Donnell, the lady of the governor of Havana, takes place to-night, end Verdi's opera “ Hernani” will be performed and sung by Tedesco, Perelli, Vita, and No- velli. Notwithstanding this opera was played twice in New York two months ago, we do not suppose that all our readers have an entire knowledge or remembrance of the plot; therefore, we give the following synopsis : Hernani (or rather Don Juan d’Arragon) had for his fa- ther a grandee of Spain, the Duke of Segorbe, who, by the order of King Carlos the Fifth, was beheaded. Leav- ing Madrid, Don Juan d’Arragon, under the name of Hernani, retired to the mountains of Arragon, where, with a numerous troup of banditti, he spread disorder ry where, and ruled all the province. But love comes soften his heart. filled with revengeful thoughts: Her- nani passionately loves Elvira, pupil «t Don Ruy Gomez de Silva, an old nobleman, who had intended to marry her himself, Elvira is averse to such an union— she loves Hernani, and he would be her husband. The prescribed Hernani has another rival in the king him- self. Don Carlos and the chief of banditti meet in pre- sence of Elvira, and are surprised there by Don Gomes de Silva; the king knows that Hernani is thero; he is silent, howover, and when recognised by Silva, he ex- plains his presence in the house, by telling his old noble servitor that he came to ask his counsel andadvice. In the second act, Hernani introduces himself in the castle of Don Gomes de Silva under the dress of @ pilgrim; he asks rd for hospitality; this i granted. "But soon after he is surprised by bis host, while he is declaring his love to Elvira, For this the master of the custle de- termines to punish the quasi pilgrim. When Don Carlos arrives to seize Hornani, who, as he well. knows is within the walls of the castle, the host will not surrender his guest; and the king determines to punish Silva for his refusal. He orders him to surrender bis sword, and to remain prisoner in his castle; and orders that Elvira follow him to court. Once alone, Gomer calls Hernani, and challenges him to fight — But the proscribed man replies, “you have saved amy life, and I will not run any chance of a Aight with you.” "At length Silva and Hernani discover that El- Vira had left ber home with the king; the passion of the monarch is thus explained; they theretore drop thelr quarrel, and unite in an effort to get her back. But the cre but differed; Silva receives from Hernanl, as ‘@ pledge of his word to surrender, s horn, at the sound of which his life shall big ho the nobli ard They rush out to deliver E When the third act begins the scene is in the vaults which contain the graves and monuments of the kings of Spain, and the mausoleum of Carolus Magnus, is seen on the left; there in these vaults conspirators (among whom are Silva and Hernani) are plotting to have the crown of Spain put op the head of the duke of Austria, ‘The king Carlos bas penetrated the vault, and isin their midst, where he discovers everything, and asks counsel of the ghosts of his far-famed ancestor, When the conspirators have decided upon the day and hour for the consummation of their plot, ana have appointed Hernani as,their leader, the darkness of the vault is suddenly dissipated by torch lights, which are borne by the guards of the king Carlos. All the points of egress are guarded; and the plotters. it is thought, eannot escape But the king, inspired by the spirit of Carolus Magaus, prefers to forgive rather than to punish. Hernani is pardoned, anid is about to marry Elvira, “The last act represents the nuptials of the happy couple. They have forgotten all their trouble in the depth of their joy and good fortune; but, among the guests is one who pursues tho two lovers with a threatening aspect. Fear possesses tho heart of Her- neni, and | apy the masqued person appears before them. He is Don Gomez de Silva, and comes to require from Hernani the fulfilment of promise he gave him, to die when he would blow the horn. Hernan! hesitates, but at length faithful to his word, stabs himself, prefer- ring thus his honor to his love. Elvira's happiness has gone for ever, She falls upon the corpse of her beloved husband. ‘Thus Ruy Gomez de Silva is revenged Such is the plot of “Hernani.’? This opera is formed from an excellent tragedy in verse, of the celebrated French poet and writer, Victor Hugo, which was, when it appeared, received by the partisans of the new French school of dramatic style, with an enthusiasm difficult to describe, Several parts of the French tragedy, will re- main for along time as specimens of the most elegant Mterary poetry. We need not, however. praise Victor Hugo; his name is well enough celebrated by his “Notre Dame de Paris.” Now for the music of Verdi—it was very well received when first performed at the ‘Park; however, we shall to-morrow give our musical criticism upon it. Our memory needs some refreshment before we speak of it. After the performance of “‘Hernani,” the whole company, (Tedesco included.) will sing the poem of Jose Villarino,” music by the excellent macs- tri Arditi and Botesi: There ‘will certainly be a crowdeu audience at tl rk theatre to-night.

On entering the drug store, two persons were found in attendance, the clerk, a Wm. H.

In September 1844, the firm icy of insurance at the defendants’ office, tackle, furniture, takings, &c., of the whale ship Joseph Meigs, from Mattapoisett, on a whaling voy- age, commencing on the 30th September, 1844, and to continue during ber stay in the harbor, ana until her arrival back again, and was moored for 24 hours in good safety, and the takings safely landed at Mattap with iiberty to touch and trade at all ports and places for advice, refreshments and to sell catchings— the vessel was valued at $18,000 und the outfits, kc. at $14,000, the aforesaid value to be the basis of ascertai ing any loss or damage that might happen to the veesel. ke. She returned in June, 1846, and it is alleged that she had then on board the following cargo, to wit, part of the outfit, of the value of $5000, two thousand five handred barrels of whale oil in casks, 230 barrels sperm oil in casks, 26,000 Ibs. ot whalebone, in all of the value of $40,000,' On the 27th June, after coming into the harbor, she was struck by lightning and consumed to the water's edgo, together with her entire cargo. The plaintif alleges that the policy contained aclause that she should be safely moored for twenty-four hours before the policy ceased; and further, that at the time the ship took fre she was not moored, and, therefore, the policy was in force when the accident occurred. It seems, therefore, that the only i papi between the parties is, whether she was moored or not when she was struck by the light- ening. Adjourned, For phintiff, Mr. F. B.

[From the Norwich Aurora, June 16) It appears that we were warranted in intimating in our last paper that some further developments would probably be made in the cuse of Dr. Guy. The facts.us since developed, we believe, are us follows: Mr. Wood- ward, who was hired by Guy to take him to New Lon- don, after he had escaped from the mob in this city, and whose agency in the affair had been badly misrepresent- ed. determined to free himself from all suspicion, by ef- fecting bis(Guy’s) restoration to this place, Accordingly, in company with another person, be proceeded to Say Harbor, where Guy was, and induord him to return to New London, under the belief that the girl, Emma Til- lotson, was there an iting for him On arriving at New London he met with diffrent embraces trom what he was led to anticipate—he was in custody of the off- cers of the law and on the to this city. This was ou Tuesday of last week. They arrived here in the evening, and the prisoner was furnished with quarters at the county jail, preparatory to -being brought before Justice Clapp at 11 o'clock the next morning at Green- court assembled for the trial as appointed. The offence charged upon the prisoner was not underany statute, but an offeace at common law, coming into that class of cases contemplated by the statute, which limits the tere 6 at a fine of $300, or one year’s imprisonment. The crime was that of seducing away from her parent a minor th, for unlawful and wick purposes. When put to his plea upon the charges in t indictment, the prisonerremarked, that under existing circumstances, he should plead-not guilty, He said he was without counsel. The gentleman bo bad employed to defend him (E. Learned, Esq) had abandoned him because he feared personal viclenow from the people in Greenville. The prisoner very modestly moved, there- fore, that the Court adjourn to an apartment in the jail at the Landing. Regardless of this. the Court adjourned to meet at the Town Hall at two o’clook that afternoon. ‘Two o'clock came, and the Court again organized as per adjournment. But thiatime the counsel for the prisori- er were not prepared, and another adjournment was asked for and granted. ‘Thursday, at two clock, the Court assembled, Justice Clapp presiding, assisted by Justice E. C. Chapman. Messrs tdmund Perkins and P, M. Judson appeared in behalf of the State, and Messrs. G. Hill and E. Learned for the prisoner. The first wit- ness to be examined was Emma Tillotson, the unfortu- nate victim of the prisouer’s villany. She being in ene a feeble health, and unable to bear the « ement of 7. pearing before such a multitude as bad assembled, the Court consented to take her duposition at the office of f. Perkins, Esq., where she then was, We were pre- sent at the exumination by invitation of the Court, The girl was a beautiful creature, sixteen years of age, dressed in deep mourning. and with a pale and languid countenanee, indicating declining health, if not already a victim to the ravages of consumption.— After being duly sworn she confronted her destroyers and deliberately and without the slightest hesitation or embarrassment, narrated the history of her acquaint- ance and intercourse with him, even to particulars the most unfit for repetition. ‘Ihe substance of her narra- tive will be all we shall attempt to give. Her acquaint- ance with Guy began on Thursday, the 28th ult. She had been sick by spells for a long timo—heard of Guy, got permission of her mother and went to see him He took off her bonnet, examined her as she supposed a doc- tor ought to do, and preseribed for ‘As she went out she invited him to call and see her mother. who bad been sick for some time. He went and prescribed for be ud as he was ye og id to Emma that be had some hair oil at his offie hich he wished her to go over and get. The next day (Friday) in company with another girl. she called at bis office and got the oll, but did not stay long. The next day (Saturday) she met the Dr. in the a t and be requested her to step into his office, which she did. At this time, after along prelimi. nary conversation, in which the Ur. gave an account of his travels, &c., he invited her to ride out on Sunday. then to walk out with him that evening. then to go to New London with him, and finally obtained her consent to accompany bim to N York. there to be united to himin marriage. “All this was accompanied bythe various arts of a practised villian, who saw too well thut he had his frail victim within his grasp, They met here in the landing according to agresmout; he purchased her # carpet bag for her clothes, and on the arrival of the evening train from Boston, they proceeded 1o New York ‘I'hvy ove pled one state room on board the boat that night riving at New York, (Sunday) they went toa publie house and spent the day ius private roein together. She here reminded bim of his promlse of marriage, but be ut her off, and held out, instead of this, vory futteriny inducements for her to go and be an inmate of « house of ill-fame. It was during this day that hy disclosed to her the infamy of his part life, sod if theone half she testified to was true. blucker-hearted wretch never went unhung. He admijted to ber what has since been ascertained from other eources, that his real name war not Guy, and that his practices made it neovsrary for him to undergo » frequeut chaugy of name, From New York they went to Albany thw next day (Monday;) the next day (Tuesday) to Spring ivld; and on Weduesday they started for Worcester and Norwich, arriving bere that evening. as related in our lust paper. At Worcester Guy hired an office, and told the girl they would then be marrivd and reside there; but he told her if she ever dis closed anything she had beard from bith he should be tempted to,and would, take ber life, When sho arrived at Greenville she represented thingy just as Guy had com- mandea her—said as inarrivd Lo bim—aud defended him as well as she could during the excitement that wa~ ed against him. Buton stinday after she confessed e whole truth. Such is tbe amount of the girl's testi mony before the court, It may by useless for us to spe culate upon it, but after having beard the girl's testuno ny, which @ close cross-examination (prompted partly by Guy himself) failed to impeach. wo must #ay we never heard of a more atrocious ays uggravated piece of vil lisny. The girl imple, ignorant creature, only six teen years of age, we should judge as incapable of taki.ig care of herselfasan ordinary cvild of half her age. sNo attempt was made on the trial to show that her oharacter was not good prior to this tranraction Th 0 doubt she intended to marry Guy in New York. but we believe that she cared little whether she married him or not: Her idea probably was, (simple soul!) that at least she would have a fine visit to New York, where sbe had never been. free of expense to herself. and ander good protection. Ju her own simple langusge in relation t Guy— She did not think he was sucha man.” Having once thrown herself into the power of her tempter, the sequel was rather amafter ofcourse After taking the deposition of the girl, the court adjourned back vo thr Town Hall. was crowded with a dense mass ot people. Several witness were exemined as to the authenticity of certain letters parporting to have beew written by Guy after he was first driven trom Norwich Tho case was then very ably argued by all the counsel in turn, until about |-alf past 9 o clock In the evening. when the decision was rendered by the court The pri soner was put under $800 bends to appear at the county court to be holden at New London, the 22d lustant, Ip default of which he was remanded to the county jail The next day. however, Messrs.

Mr, Bur- null is defended by Mr. Choate of Boston, and Mr. T. G. Coffin of Nantucket, and the Commonwealth is repre- sented by Mr. J. H. Clifford, the District Attorney. On Friday, George R. Sampson, of Boston, Capt. D. Thain, A J. Morton, present cashier of the bank. and Jared Coffin, were examined in reference to the affairs of the bank, Mr. Burnell’s mode of doing business, and his con~ versation, ke. subsequently to the time that suspic.on was first awakened respecting the eoundness of the bank. The following, testimony of the cashier will show that the affairs of the bank were very carlessly man- aged :— Avxorew J. Morton.—Became. cashier about Ist De- cember, 1845; made no examination of the assets when he went in; assumed tho duties without one; Burnell was there, who assisted for some time; Burnell went to Bos- ton in January; discovered no irregularities in the books; 1nade no alterations; knew at once that the books wore not written up; there was @ representation of the state of the bank mnde soon after ho went in, and sworn to by him as cxshier; said at the time that he knew nothing about it; swore to it because of his confl- ae in Burnell; thought it was in Burnell’s hand- writing Cross-ezamined.—He cowldn’t say in whose hand- writing the statement sent to the Secretary's office was; books ware not written up; cash book about 10 miles behind hand; not posted since about April, 45. First thing that made him look into matters. way a notice which he received from the cashier of the City Bank, dated he thinks iv January, that the M. and M. account was overdrawn. Had not finished posting at that time. Burnell agreed to pay him for writing up the books; di- rectors di'l not know the books were behind; when th discovered it, they put on more help to bring them up; tho Dooks were taken up stairs; presumes they wore posted up there, but does not know that they were. A person with the books before him in the state in which witness found them, could not tell the condition of the bank. ‘here was about a cart load of puss books not written up: witness wrote some of them up; wrote them up by the checks; when he settled with the receivers his eash account overrun $12,000 from the statement when he took Vs wey a. ‘The whole of the evidence in the case had been given In when the court adjourned on Saturday. Sgniovs Arrray at Yorxtown.-—A personal rencontre, likely to prove fatal to one o} ths pee Jes, oocarred at Yorktown on Friday last. betweon P. A. Southall, neg & purser in the U. 8. Navy, and Tho- mas Nelson, U. 8. Collector, and Mr. Parker. The cir- cumstances attendant on this melancholy affair, as fur as wo have been enabled to gather thom together, are as follows:—Major Robert Anderson having, it is said, re- moved a fence between Mr. Nelson’s farm and his own, without the knowledge and consent of Mr. N., caused. him to call on Mr. A. to remonstrate with him, caution- ing him for the future to consult him (the owner) before he again undertook to remove his fence. This inter- view, resulting perhaps in some unpleasant personal wrangling, induced Mr. Southall, who is a near connex- ion by marriage of Mr. A., to call upon Mr. Nelson, and. to remonstrate with him for quarreling with and abusing so aged @ man as Mr. A., remarking that if he wished to quarrel, it would perbaps be ag well to have one with him, a man of his own age. &c. This second interview led to a third, under the following circumstances, when the personal rencontre occurred. Mr. N., whois a much smaller man than Mr. 8., having requested bis nephew, Mr. Parker, to accompany him, they together met or called upon’ Mr. §., when some personal unpleasant al- tercation again occurring, the parties clinched, and then the circumstance of Mr. Nelson, who was much the smaller man of the two, being considerably worsted, in- duced Mr, Parker to interpose, who remarked to Mr. 8. that he had better take a man nearer his size and phys- icul strength for a fight, which diverted the fight from Mr. Nelson to himself. not, however. without their first uttering many hard sayings,each against the other. Mr. Parker in this fight proving himself the stronger of the two, and being likely, we are told, to inflict a pretty se- vere castigation on his antagonist, Mr. Southall drew his pistol, and before it could be wrested from him, notwith- standing an effort to do.so by a bystander, fired and shot Nelson in the abdomen, who, cxclaiming “ I am shot,’ drew his knife and made an attempt to out the throat of Mr. Southall, the knife striking Southall in the back of the neck, and laying open his neck and face wide to the corner of the mouth. ‘The parties being now about to be parade Nelson, who had in the interim provided Lim- self with a rifle, fired at Southall, but without effect.-- Norfolk Beacon, June 14th Personal and Political.
