.W YORK HERALD. ——— Seu ees October 19, 1947. < “New York, Tucsday, ee Supplement to the Herald. We find ourselves constrained to issue a supple- mentary sheet to the New York Herald this will cdatain, in addition to several columns of interesting advertisements, the programme of the procession of the Washington Monument celebration to-day; a letter from Grafenburg, the water cure place; a notice of Colletta’s History of the Realm of Naples, just translated by C. Ed- wards Lester and G. Leighton Ditson; a letter relative to the affairs of St. Domingo ; a list of the political candidates to be voted for at the elec- tion in this State next month; and an interesting article on the population of Prussia. It is served gratuitously to our city subscribers. ‘The Day. This isto be an eventful and memerable day forthe city'of New York. This day we are about to elevate a monument to Washington. The greatest city in the New World, and one among the greatest cities in the world, dedicates this day to the foundation of a monument suit- able to the fame and character of the illustrious hero whom it is intended to commemorate Such a day it will be, and ought long since to have dawned upon our city. Let us be content- ed that at length it has arrived—that day when for the first time a monument is raised to the great Washington. , All who are able,will not, we are sure, neglect to attend on this great and memorable occasion. All should be present. Arrivat of the Missouri. It was reported last evening, by the “ Offing Magnetic Telegraph,” that the Missouri was off Fire Island, and would be up about midnight. We kept back our paper till a very late hour, in the hope of obtaining her news for our readers ; but thus far we are without anything. If she arrives this morning, we shall issue an Extra Herald. We shall do the same if the Cambria reaches Boston. _ sib ts Important from the City of Mexico. According to the telegraphic report, in another column of this day’s Herald, General Scott is in full possession of the city of Mexico, and has issued an address to the people, calling upon them to send delegates to the capital, to open ne- gotiations for a treaty of peace. It would appear that our army is strongly enough entrenched in the city to enable General Scott to despatch a force of fifteen hundred men, to take Toluca, distant forty-eight miles from the capital. This intelligeuce comes through English sources. Interesting from the Pacific. We learn that despatches have been received in Washington from Com. Biddle, dated on board the line-of-battle ship Columbus, on the 10th of April last, giving an account of the seizure, by the squadron, of a British merchant vessel, of light tonnage, freighted with merchandise for an English merchant re ident in Mexico. There had been organised in California by General Kearny, at the instance of Com. Biddle, a court of admiralty to adjudicate in such cases. This court took cognizance of this seizure and condemned the vestel as a lawful prize, on the principle that a merchant permanently residing in Mexico, no mutter of what power he may be a subject, is to be treated in time of war as a citi- zen of the country in which he resides and does business. This decision is sustained by the practice of the British admiralty courts during the war be- tween France and England, and also during the war of 1812and °15, between,the United States and Great Britain. The British government will most likely ob ject to this seizure, but they cannot help them- selves. ‘The Fate of Mexico, Since the formation of our government, no question has ever come before the American peo- ple so vitally important in the consequences of its decision, as the disposition that is to be made of Mexico. It is no longer a question as to the aquisition of a portion of territory mostly unin- habited, but as to the total subjugation and ab- sorption of the whole country of Mexico, as it ‘The Spaniards in the war of indépenden ia the numerous civil broils which have drenched the land with blood, have invariably resorted to this mode of fighting. The French were always victorious whenever they came in contact with the Spaniards in the open field; bu | their successes were dearly purchased by the | loss of the flower of their army, picked off on the march, from behind rocks, and trees, and | fences, surprised in the bivouack, or cut up in the mountain defiles. In the present war, the Mexicans have exhibited the same traits of na- | tional character for which their fathers of old Spain have been remarkable for centuries—a to- | tal recklessness of life—a natural genius for gue- rilla fighting, and entire inaptitude fer field tac- tics. We have taken the strongest towns—we have beaten them in the field again and again, and still the guerillas swarm on the path of our army at its every step. At the last, we have taken their capital, and instead of being humili- ated and dispirited by that disaster, they are stung by it to fresh exertions against us. It is very evident from ail this, that defeat will never have the effect of forcing Mexico to surrender. The loss of any number of armies, or any num- ber of towns, is by them inappreciable. As we have before had occasion to remark, if the war .should last a thousand years, no crisis can arise calculated to impress upon the Mexi- cans the expediency of peace more forcibly than the appearance of our army before the gates of their capital. The conclusion is irresistible that were our military combinations to extend over the whole country, and were we to win battles in “numbers numberless,”” we would still be as far as ever from the attainment of peace. But we must adopt some policy. Shall we draw a line and defend it? To doso, would be to hold out an inducement to Mexico to protract hostilities indefinitely—to expose our troops to becontinuslly harrassed and cut off in detail— and to render our commerce liable to disastrous interruptions. We would, moreover, by pursuing such acourse, surrender all the advantages the attainment of which has caused us an immense sacrifice of blood and treasure; and the probabi- lity is, that after long years of toilsome defen- sive warfare, we would be compelled to resume offensive operations. The only course left us, then, is to retain pos- session of what we have, and for that purpose to flood the country with troops so as to overawe all opposition. This is the most politic and the mosthumane course. Itis the duty of our go yernment to provide that the commonwealth shall suffer no loss. However deep our commisera- tion for Mexico, it isour duty to prefer our own interests to hers. If she will suffer us to live in peace, we shall be glad to be on friendly terms with her. We desire not her annihilation—we wish not to force our alliance upon her.— When the bride is reluctant, the marriage is genenerally ill-starred and unhappy.) But if Mexico will not cease from this unwise struggle until she shall render her entire subju- gation an act of necessity for us, then we cannot be censured for her downfall. It will be her own work. As an act of necessity alone will the annexation of all Mexico be ever attempted by our government, or sanctioned by our people. But if such a necessity should ever arise, we have no fears for the safety of the Union. The absorption into ourpolitical system of a people ae different from ourselves, will doubtless be -at- tended with some hazard. But we have un- bounded confidence in the recuperative power of our institutions—a power so remarkably mani- fested in the case of Louisiana, whose inhabi- tants differed as widely from ourselves in lan- Pootsm—Tue Front Berwaex Avtas MoFee any Awrut Ganonex.—This affair took place yesterday morning, and resulted in the defeat of the Scotchman, Allen MeFee, after fighting thirty-two rounds, in sixty- mune minutes. The place selected for the meeting was on the Pali- sades. above the Jersey shore, opposite Spuytendevil Creek, on @ cliff some hundreds of feet above the broad | and beautiful Hudson river. The day was as mild as August's later date, and the sun shone with » softening heat that gradually dispelled the fog that covered the surface of the placid water in the distance. At an early hour of the@morning Fort Lee presented a lively appearance, and numbers were seen leaving the several houses near the beach, and loiteringly ascending the Palisades, each endeavoring, by his manner, tothrow off suspicion as tothe business he was about to en- gage in—yet there was something about their stealthy demeanor that denoted as plainly as ifit were published, that a fight was to take place, and all the inhabitants of the neighborhood prepared to follow the current to its termination. | {The ring was pitched at an early hour inthe morning, | and the“ b’hoys”’ gradually gathered around the ropes. The “commissaries”’ having performed the preliminary ‘business, and announced that everything was in readi- ness for the arrival of the combatants who were to struggle for the unenviable repatation of Buffer A No. 1, “Sporting intelligence” drew forth his lever. and discovered that the dial turned on ten. Looking down from our high position upon the fair surface of the river beneath, we discovered a steamboat laden with a heteo- | regnous mass of masculine animalcula, making for the landing, some three or four miles above Fort Lee. Ina short time, the personswho had taken passage on board the boat we speak of, began to congregate on the battle field, all anxious to see the play begin. At a quarter after ten o’clock, Allen McFee threw his cap into the ring, which action was quickly followed by & similar performance on the part of Awful Garduer.— We understand that McFee has fought, in England, some half dozen fights, and was rated as one of the best men of his weight in the land where the faculty of breaking the noseof a friend is considered an accom- plishment The weight of Gardner was 152 pounds, and that of McFee about 150 pounds; and the latter, although the lighter man, had the advantage in length and reach, ‘and appeared, from the good-natured manner in whieh he treated the affair, to lead one to suppose he had an easy piece of work before him. In fact, his numerous offers to wager long odds that he would draw the first blood, give the first knock-down blow, and eventually win the fight, induced numbers to believe that he was a tremendous pugilist. Judges, seconds, and referee having been appointed on Voth sides, viz.: Young Sullivan and P. Closy for MoFee, and Harris, Burchal and W. Wilson for Gard- ner, and Ambrose Jackson, the pedestrian, as referee, the combatants drew for choice of corners; McFee win- ning the favorable place, all parties, seconds and prin- pals, came up to the scratch, shook hands, retired to their several positions, and awaited the call of time, to commence. THE FIGHT. Round 1,—The appearance of the two men were strl- kingly in contrast, McFee being all confidence and full of bravado, while Gardner seemed not at ease with him- self or anything about him; and still at the same time there was nothing denoting the slightest doubt of his ability to win the fight, but he appeared anxious to has- ten the event, and try his luck in the pugilistio lottery, this being his debut in the prize ring. At 1034 o'clock, time was called, and the combatants eagerly rushed to the scratch. ‘There was considerable dodging, feinting and maneuvering on the part of MoFee, while Gardne! on the other hand, having taken his position. patientl: awaited the attack of his foe, and the instant that McFee led out with his left, Gardner countered him, and he adopted this mode of fighting throughout. This was a bustling round; caution and good stopping for awhile— when McFee, making an endeavor to test the abilities of the supposed novice, rushed in and was met with a nded bit in the head,and an up right hand near the same spot. A place, and Gardner gave the Sootchman an awful fall — The result of this round brought forth loud bursts of plause from the friends of Gardner, which had the ef- fect of causing him to assume more confidence of his own prowess, First blood was claimed for Gardner. Round 2 ‘aution was manifested by both combat- ing at the scratch; and Allen, after a ud short hits, succeeded in planting a pretty strong hit on the cranium of Gardner, in return for which favor he received a rattling rap on the side of bis head. MoFee, wishing to keep the game alive, and r cut from the inch then took gage and customs, asdo the Mexicans. The scheme presents difficnities of no ordinary mag- nitude, but not such as may not, with courage and perseve} e, be effectually surmounted. Heattu or New Yorx.—There were two hun- dred and thirty-six deaths in this city last week, —the smallest number in any one week for seve- ral months. _ Mr. Secretary Watxer, of the Treasury De- partment, was in town on Saturday, but has left on his return to Washington. ‘Eheatrical and Musical. Pank TueaTae.—Mlle. Augusta appeared last night in the grand ballet of “Giselle,” supported by Miss Jes- seyline, Mons. Frederick, and full corpede ballet. The stands, with its mountains and valleys, its sea- coast and table-lands, and its inhabitants of eve- Ty caste, and class, and color. It is a most mo- mentous issue, requiring for its solution the ut- most calmness and deliberation. And upon this question it 1s well that there should exist, as there does exist, the widest diversity of opinion. ‘We hope to see, on all sides, the freest discus- sion of its merits, the most patient considera- tion of its results ; and we must protest in imine, against any attempt to repress the most latitu- dinous expression of opinion on the subject. It cannot be too thoroughly examined. The fate of this country is in no small measure bound up in | a prudent decision. For tk’ ) reason, party spirit should, if possible, be for once thrown aside, and the question should be weighed simply as it may affect, for weal or for wo, our common country, for all time. And, first ofall, we disclaim, for ourselves, all wish to see Mexico absorbed into this Union. Notwithstanding that the annexation of that re- public would bring to us a great many important commercial advantages, we can well afford to dispense with them ; and, moreover, we cannot but foresee that the measure will be fraught with amore than counterbalancing number of disadvantages. We are, therefore, very far trom | ig the new piece, the * Bride of Kebl, or the Soldier and advocating the forcible absorption of all Mexico, as intrinsically politic or advisable. On the contrary, were Mexico to signify her willing- ness to make peace to-morrow, we would re- joice as well at the cessation of hostilities, as that we had not been compelled to resort to ex- treme measures. Nay, if after the lapse of one or even two years, she should become convinced | of the sad fruitleseness of her present struggle, we would gladly see restored to her every foot of her territory, except such as we should have acquired from her by honorable treaty—honora- able as well to her as to us—for we are not poor, thank Heaven, that we should covet to exact terms from her derogatory to her honor. We are, therefore, willing to say to Mexico, come to terms now, or within some reasonable period, and we will still be ready to treat with you. We will be liberal—giving a fair equivalent for what we demand. But you cannot expect us to remain in this state of inquietude forever. It must soon terminate—in what manner, at your option. You cannot expect us to forego the advantages we have gained. You ask us why we use force? We answer, that you your- self appealed to the arbitrament of the sword, in the dispute between us, and that, having pleaded to the general iesue, and followed up that plea through all this litigation, you cannot now enter a plea to the jurisdiction. You have disputed every inch of the ground; and now, that you have been worsted, you should, with a good grace, bow to the decision of the tribunal you have yourselves selected. Will she do sot? Now, or in ene, or two, or five, or ten years? lis very questionable. When this commenced, her people were in # state of comparative quiescence —now, the popular masess stirred up from their lowest depthe hostility is absolutely frantic—their for war war are eir thirst favorite denseuse, was received with rounds of applause, and “ Giselle” went off as well as could be desired. Pre- vious to the ballet the cumedy of “ Heir at Law,” was performed in an excellent style. Mr. Bass, as Lord Duberly, and Mr. Chapman, as Dr. Pangloss, made ex- cellent entertainment for the audience, and acquitted themselves admirably in their respective parts. To- night we are to have a repetition of “ Giselle,” with the admirable farce of “ Love in Livery,” in which Mr. Chapman will sing his new comic song of “Hark the Wedding,” and the whole to conclude with the comedy of ‘Ways and Means.” The admirers of the ballet will have but two nights more to witness Augusta. This consideration will probably induce them to come out on these evenings. | Bowery THeatre —‘Monterey” and tho “Pilot of the | German Ooean,” will be performed at the Bowery thea- tre this evening. We cannot add more to what we have said, concerning these pieces. They are witnessed every evening by crowded houses, and no better proof of their quality is needed. We have uot heard when the manager intends to withdraw the new piece, but it will not do to withdraw it now,for to do so would,be to disappoint hun- dreds who are derirous of seeing it, but have not had an opportunity of doing so yet,in consequence of the house being 80 crowded. CwatHam Tueatre.—Three different pieces will be performed at the Chatham theatre this evening, all of | which nave been often played to large houses and drawn forth the applause of all who have seen them. The firet his Son,” then the comedy, the “Day after the Wed- ding,’ and the last the operatic drama, “ Turn Out.’- Weare given to understand that the manager, in a0’ cordance with the determination he ounced @ short time back, is rehearsing a splendid new melo drama, which he will produce shortly in a manner that cannot fail to please his patrons. Gen. Tom Tuums is on the docket to-day at the Ame ticam Museum, and in goed health and spirits. He gives a great many exhibitions and performances, for the purpose of accommodating the great crowds which will congregate there to pay their farewell visits. Genenat Wercn’s troop of equestrians opened, last evening, in Philadelphia. Dan Rice is with them, and will arrive here this week. There can be no doubt but that this excellent compen of equestrians will be well patronised by citizens of Philadelphia, as the proprietors always employ the first talent that can be found tor the arena.

More of the Freshet, Letters from Lock Haven, @ated the 10th inst., state that the West Branch was swelled to a greater height than has beon known since 1610, the river being eight foot higher than it was at the time of the memorable Pumpkin flood Lock Haven was completely inundated, the water being ten feet deep in Main street. The «iti zens were obliged to take their horses, cattle, &o., into their dwelling houses to save them. The destruction of property in th» town was very great The steam saw mill of Mr. GE. Kinzer was completely overflowed, and the machinery somewhat damaged The destruction of | property ajl along the river above Lock Haven was im- mense, The Pitisburg Gozerte of Saturday, says:—The late flood has so materially injured the main line of the public worker in this State to preclude all idea of resumptson of transportation through to Philsdelphia insatiable.

A clinch—a struggle—and both full, side by side. Round 3 —On wicFee appearing at the scratch, the friends of Gardner claimed first blood forhim. As soon as they got within hitting distance, the combatants went vigorously to work, particularly MoFee,:ne evi2 dently wishing to win the wagers that were made on time. Gardaer, however, stood resolute at his post, and ae McFee struck, he would return, and his stopping be- ing better than that of McFee, while his hitting was more effective, he had the best of this round, which he closed by bringing the Scotchman to grass. Round 4.—Gardner appeared at the scratch without @ mark, except a slight “mouse” on the forehead, and apparently becoming more fond of the business he was engaged in—while ls adversary began. to grow shy of him, having ascertained that he was a more formidable opponent than he had calculated upon. A few sharp counter hits and clinch. in which MoFee was thrown outside the ropes, closed the round. Round 6.—Ten minutes had nm d since the ht action, each fight began. As the champions came up exhibited marks of the other's handiwork,and after a few passes, both missing their hits, Gard: succeeded in planting a tremendous hit on the left cheek of M’Fee, which made an opening under the eye, that bled pro- fusely. This round terminated by MoFee falling in the close, to avoid furcher punishme: Round 6.—The men were no sooner at the scratch than they were at work, and after a few exchanges, Gar- diner planted his rigat under the left ear of the Caledo- nian, which brought the latter to the earth. Round 7.—This wes & bustling round, from beginning toend. Giveand take was the order of the day, but it was evident the Scot betieved he was taking more than he gave, for he adroitly went down, to avoid # further continhance of the interchange of civilities. # Round 8 —Gardner finding he was superior in strength and hitting points to his adversary, now began to ussume the offensive, and went to work at his antagonist the moment he came within hitting distance. ‘There was sharp work for a few seconde; but on coming to a close, Gardner again floored his adversary. Round ‘This was a hard-fought round—both men exhibiting disposition to comply with the wishes ef their several backers, who kept upa continual call for them to perform services which were easily named, but hard to execute. The round ended with McFee laying with his face upward, the right hand of Gardner having found its way under bis ear. Round 10.—This was short, and McFee down at the ropes. Ro’ ind 11—The combatants seemed to take a breath- spell as brand came to the scratch, but soon getting to work and exchanging a few hits, they clinched, had a struggle on the ropes, and the round ended with MaFee’s ae brought again to the earth—both covered with jood, Round 12.—Another short round ; a few exchanges, a clinch in the middle of the bp and Mac thrown heavi ly. The fight had now lasted thirty minutes. 4 Rownd 18,—A few passes without any injury to either er, amd MoFee slid through the han ithout receiving any punishment. Round 14.—McFee was very slow in coming up at the an soon as he reached the soratch, he truck Gardner a left handed blow in the abdomen, and a foul blow was claimed by the second of Gardner, who, while waiting for the decision of the referee, threw his asm round Gardner to preted his Sghting, in which position MoFee struck Gardner twice in the head; re- ceiving which, without waiting farther parley, Gardorr instantly resumed the fight, and the round closed with Mao again down. dou 16.—Not much done; Mac assuming the artful 2. Round 16.—Caution; a few exchanges; Mao floored; phan fresh; Mac exhausted. Forty minutes had al 5 ound 17.—Sharp fighting; Gardner had the best of Mao agsin down, Reuwnd 18.—No sooner at the scratch than the right hand of Gardnor brought up under the left ear of the Scot, and the latter fell as though he had been shot. Round 19.—Similar,to the last; Mac fell again, from the same cause. Round 20.—Same as before. Round 21.—Two suocessive blows from Gardner—the last under the ear, and down went Mac. Round 22—Gardner reovived a slight hit in the head, barday to witness the trlal between several celebrated trotting and pacing horses, was as large as could have been expected; the day was peculiarly autumnal, and upon the road to the track, which is one of the finest in this country, we noticed several elegant carriages filled | with members of both houses of the Legislature, who evidently felt » deep interest in the contests, The grand | stand was well filled, and the track around the judges’ stand was well crowded, ‘The first match announced to take place was trot- ting match between Mr. Reed’s sorrel gelding, Elias Hicks, and Mr. Chesbro’s sorrel gelding] Rough and Ready, to go to sulkies, three miles and repeat, for a | purse of $400, The horse Rough and Ready is owned in | 1! Albany;and Elias Hicks contended with Moscow this summer at the Saratoga Springs course. Both horses seemed to be in capital condition; the odds were, how- ever, in favor of Rough and Ready, whose friends were very confident of his superiority. t Heat.—Rough and Ready drew the track, and rees went off very finely at the first attempt; at pester Dole, whiicih eas renses tn 00 shecey went in front al lengths; he con- inued to keep in advance for the first two miles. His style of action is most beautiful,and he did not break during the heat. In the last mile the whip was applied to Elias pretty freely, and at the half mile his competitor | was only a length in advance. Elias was, however, un- able to spproach any nearer, and Rough and Ready reached the score a ahead Time, 9:05. | Secowp Heat —The start for this heat was very even, and before the horses had gone one hundred yards, Elias 1oks went in front, apparently rerolved to alter his tao- tics and to keep his opponent at work throughout the heat; the trotting for the first two miles was very fine, the horse Elias Hicks being about eight lengths in advance, which he continued to maintain until he reach- ed the half mile pole in the third mile. The friends of Rough and Ready looked desponding, but he was now called upon to close up the BAP; the whip was applied | with vigor to bovh animals; at the three-quarter pole Eline was only a length in front ; the excitement was in- tense; at the distance pole Rough and Ready’s head was onaline with Klias’ sulky; he kept this position until the horses were within twenty yards of the soore, when Elias Hicks broke up; in his efforts to restrain him his driver sheared his sulkey against Rough and Rea- dy’s; in consequence of this mishap Elias Hicks reached the score upon s run a length in advance; time 9:14; the last mile in this heat was trotted in 2:45. Every one believed that Elias Hicks had won the heat, and | great surprise and some little bad feeling was occasioned by the announcement of the judges that in consequence of the driver of Elias Hicks havin; Faeroe, caused Z | collision between his sulkey and Rough and Ready, the heat and purse would be awarded to the latter horse. The next affair, which proved to be of the greatest in- terest, was a racking match between Mr. E. Simmons’ and sorrel horse Western Drover, G. Clemens’ bay horse Lackawana, and # brown mare owned by Gen. Dunham. The horse Western Drover was-said to be capable of making extraord! time, and the odds in the betting were decidedly in his favor; the purse was $75; to go to sulkies, best three in five. at Heat.—Aftor a false start, which gave tho spec- tators an opportunity to scrutinize the steeds, the horres got a. very evenly, the brown mare taking the lead, with Western Drover waiting upon her very closely ; at the quarter pole Lackawana was four lengths behind. ‘These positions were respectively maintained to the half mile, where Western Drover became very devoted in his attentions to the brown mare, and Lackawana having made a terrible break, fell behind one hundred yards, At the throe quarter pole, the Drover made a desperate effort to pass the brown mare, (which was driven by Gen Dunham himself,) but he was unsuc- cvssful, and at the score she was two lengths in the clear in advance; Lackawana no re—time 2 Seconp Heat.—For this heat the horses started very prettily ; Gen. Dunham, we observed, had vacated his seat in ‘his sulkey, and his mare was driven by person who did not look like an experienced whip. The mare again took the lead with the sorrel horse close up; at the half Lackawana again broke, which threw his chance out entirely. Down the back stretch, the atrug- gle between th most desperate; the horse lapped her at the three quarter pole, and in attempting to pass ‘a collision between the sulkies occurred, knocking several spokes out of the wheels of one of the sulkies.

His driver immediately made chargy of foul driving ageinst the driver of the brown mare, and she was ac- cordingly declared to be distanced. Luckawana being also distanced, it only remained for Western Drover to walk over for the purse. City Intelligence. Muitary Panapvgs.—The Beebe and Costar Guards passed oyr office yesterday on a target excursion, ac- companied by a superb band. They aro a fine looking body of men, and turned out in fall citizen dress, with cross belts. They appear to be well drilled, and march admirably. The Warren Guards also made a fine turn- out, and passed our office last evening after their target exoursion. The target appeared to be pretty well pep- pered. Company No. 41 aiso turned out on a similar excursion, and made a fine appearance. Company No. — also paraded, and passed through the principal streets last evening. They looked and marched well. Our fire department is rising rapidly, and will shortly, if it does not already, rival our militia companies, both as to drill | and general efficiency. We wish them every success. Metancuo.y Suicipn.—Coroner Walters was called fare hold an inquest at the corner of Broadway and street, on the body of Charles A.

On Sunday he called at the house of a friend in Lafayette Place,and appeared to be under great mental excitement, and en- quired if he had committed any crime ; be was very wild.and asked many strange questions, and said that he | intended to destroy himself, giving as cause that he was in love with a married lady in Rome and shortly af- ter leaving he returned and inquiréd where he could find a catholic priest; he then again left and returned to his boarding house; asked to have a carriage engaged, as he wished to see about a vessel in which he could re- turn to France; subsequently he ordered another car- riage to go and see the bishop, and then repeatedly or- dered carriages to see different persons, In the course of the night he was foundin his room sitting near a ta ble with a pistol before him, and on Lay! asked what was going to do with it, he replied that he was going to blow his brains out—at the same time raising the pistol tohishead The pistol, (a 4 barrelled revolver, loaded aud capped) was taken frem h: nother was in the room, but it did not appear to bein order. Shortly aftermards @ servant heard the report of a pistol, and on trying the room door of the deceased found it locked.

Ihave been long surprised that you have not had a correspondent here; it is fast becoming, and, indeed, it now is, a place of great importance, not only as being the eastern terminus of the Long Island Railroad, but also in a commercial point of view. There are now eleven ships here concerned in the whale fishery, anda very large number of smaller ves- sels engaged in the coasting trade ; its growth has been exceedingly rapid, having been built up within compara- tively but few years; the location is admirable, having a harborof Yea security, and which for depth of water will bear favorable comparison with any in the country. The scenery he: surpassingly grand; directly oppo- site is Shelter Island, whose hills of evergreen con- tinually cheer the sight; on the west is the great Peconic, embracing in {ts mighty folds Southold, Cutchoge, and New Suffolk ; on the east are seen the spires of Orient booming high, and towering through e mist—whlist still er on may be seen the waters of Gardiner’s Bay as t! commingle with the ocean. Indeed, we may safel , that few places on the seu- board will’compare with this for beauty of scenery. This village ia the place of residence of Dr. F. W. Lord, themember of Congress ym this district. Heiss man with piercing black eyes,which he par- tially conceals by a pair of gold spec! ' Tue Manvractuge or Starcu —At the pre” sent critical period in Colonial affairs, we con- ceive that every opportunity should be made available by the conductors of the colonial press, to bring unde public notice such topics as may be calculated to benetit the several classes of which our communities are com- posed. Actuated by this motive we have, from time to time, placed upon our pages: such articles upon the im; provements and discoveries made in the cultare and manufacture of the staple products—which have arrest- ed our attention in the course of our reading—in ord r that those engaged in those pursuits in this colony, might profit by the experience and scientific abilities of their fellowcolonists in our present number, we have inserted an interesting report of the proceedings of the Barbadoes Agricultural Society, which will be found to contain several valuable hints, as to planting and ma- nuring of lund, well worthy the consideration of our ug rioultural friends. ‘There are other articles, however, besides sugar, rum and molasses, to which the attention of agriculturists might, very profitably, be bestowed, and which could be attended to without interfering with the cultivation of the staples ; one of these articles, is the manufacture of starch. The root from which this artiele 1s obtained, rows abundantly in this Island; the trouble of planting inconsiderable, and the profit arising from its manu- facture, by the common process of hand grating— is ime The subject has been suggested to us, by the perusal of the following article, which is contained in the Guiana Times of the 23d ult., and we notive it with the view of inducing the enterprising amongst us to give it @ trial, as well as to encourage the presunt growers to increase their crops, and improve the quality of the article: The manufacture of atarch will one of these days be- come a@ productive source of colonial wealth. Since cas- sada was first grown amongst us, its capabilities as a starch producer have toa certain extent been known, and for that purpose it has been in limited use. It re- mained for Mr. James Glen, however, to test its value as an article of export, and to add this to the other i dustrial resources of the colony. That gentleman h erected 8 machinery on Pin Haagebosch for grinding the root and preparing the h of the bitter cussads; he has already sbipped the article in considerable quavti- ties to Europe, and it has been sold ats price which pute the profit upon sugar cultivation completely to the blush. His agent in Glasgow writes that any quantity such as ulready shipped can command a ready sale at 90, per lb, We are quite aware that its use is co-exteni or neurly so, with that of sugar. But the Glasgow ge tleman does not know the capabilities of the soil ot Brit, ish Guiana; nor is it necessary, as we eball show pre sently, that to pay the grower here it shouid bring evem half tbat price Asample of a ton just prepared at Haagebosch has been sent to Dr. Shier, and muy be seen by the curious atthe laboratory. It is admitted by the Dr. tobe a beautiful specimen of starch, although it has only un- dergone one washing. The cassada from which it was made was planted avout eight or nine months ago upon ‘an acre of pegass soil which bad been weeded, but which had never undergone avy process of shovel ploughing. or been broken and turned up in any way. The plants were never weeded after they had begun to spring; nor were they tended or disturbed until they were ripe and pulled up. The expense of planting the acre was five dollars, and reaping the crop would, we suppose, amount toasmuch more. We believe that the green cassada was never weighed, but the acre has given fully a ton of starch—equal, ir lb, to $403 20. The researches of Dr Shier have led him to believe that the green bitter cassada will give one-fifth its weight in starch. If this be the case, the return per acre would, under favorable circumstances, where the land is pro- perly worked, be enormous. On an estate in Essquebo hort time ago, an acre of cas-ada grown in fine per- ble soil was lifted and weighed. It yielded 26 tons of green cassada. Such a return as this per acre would en- able us to inundate Great Britain with icod and ata rate which would make flour be considered a luxury. The doctor is convinced that in thorough dried land, where the roots could penetrate the soil and where its permea- bility would permit of their indefiuite expansion, a re- turn of 25 tons an acre might uniformly dv calculated upon. What a ing, not only for the golony, the world, would the introduction be, of this che: nutritious substitute for the potato.—Grena: Press.
