Kossuth also takes oc- casion to reply to Henry Clay’s protest against his dangerous doctrines. He says that Russia is more likely to wage war against this country if this coun- try lets Russia alone, than if this country inter- meddies in Russian affairs and utters terrible threats against her. In other words, if you come up toastout built stranger in the street, who is no chicken and no coward, and you insult and menace him in reference to some third party, also @ stranger, and with whom you have nothing in the world to do—is he not more likely to resent the aty tack on the spot, or on some future occasion, than if you kept quietly minding your own business, and did not address him at all? Mr. Clay says that Russia will begin to think that republicanism, as developed in America, is dangerous to her own ex- istence if the United States government attempts to interfere against her, and in favor of republican- ism in Burope; and Russia will concert measures to clip the wings of the American eagle, or to wound the noble bird in some vital part. and though she may not succeed to the full extent, the is powerful enough to give serious trouble and do very extensive mischief. Kossuth, on the contrary, says that if the American eagle keeps away from Russia, and does not assail that power, Russia will come here to assail the United States, or, at all events, will embarrass our commercial relations with every nation of Europe. We would only insult the understanding and the common eense of our readers by asking them whether the opinion of the Sage of Ashland or that of the poetical dreamer of Hungary is the more sound? But the eyes of the people, and their legislatures, federal and State, are at length opened to the delu- sion and humbug of Kossuth intervention. The recent debate in Congress, and the sentiments expressed generally by members of the Senate on the tavern bill for the entertainment of Kossuth, is a melancholy and ludicrous comment on the destiny which the poor Magyar is meeting in this country, after commencing so brilliantly in New York, and continuing his career for a short time in other cities of the United States. Kossuth himself seems to feel the bitterness of the disappointment; and the change has come over even the spirit of his own dream. In his recent speeches, he allows his chagrin to eseapo him in charges against a portion of the press of thie country, which are equally baseless, ridiculous, and abeurd. He imagines that all the independent jour- nals and all those independent men who refuse to bow theknce in worship to him, are paid by Austrian gold and influenced by Austrian spies. A more insane idea was never entertained outside the walls of a lunatie asylum. Welume XVII............ ssse/NOe 73, AMUSEMENTS TO-MORROW EVENING. BOWERY THEATRE, Bowery—Pizanno—Roninaos @nvsox.

The News. AD true friends of peace and harmony, in our Rational councils as well as elsewhere, will be pleased ‘@o Jearn that the flare-up in the House of Represen- ‘@atives, on Friday, between Messrs. Brown and Wil- eox, of Mississippi, has been amicably adjusted, Without an appeal to that obsolete and sanguinary aabiter, the pistol. Mr. Brown gave Mr. Wilcox a Plow—the latter returned it, and the honors were easy. The Mosaic law was carried out to the let- ter—‘‘Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for @eoth”’—explanations ensued, good humor was re- ptered, and yesterday Mr. Wilcox was ‘proud to eal) Mr. Brown his worthy colleague.” It is “atrange how well some men will like others after having a fight with them.” In this wise termination of the affair, we are happy te say that the sporting fraternity were greatly @isappointed. After the above explanation, the House passed the joint resolution to continue the work on the capitol, and appropriated $500,000 fer that purpose. This will ‘be hailed with great Jey by the numerous workmen who were kept idle all winter, and several of whom are said to have Deeome so straitened in their circumstances that they were compelled to pawn their wearing apparel, in erder to procure food for their families. While @ongressmen were idling vway their timo in speaking on the chances for the next Presi- @eney, and quarrellins on other matters in which the people were not interested, these men, whom Congress Lad employed, were actually suffering. We observe that Mr. Cartter, of Ohio, in the @ourse of debate, intimated that it was almost weeless to repair the building, the capitol would be removed to the West before a great while. Some yearsago there were good grounds for sup- posing that the seat of government would be re- moved to a more central location, the telegraphs have cutirely superseded the necessity for any such movement. At the present day, one place appears to be about convenient 2s another. The telegraphic wires place the people, throughout the length and breadth of the Atlantic side of the country, in almost instant pc on of the Cong res- sional proceedings, and it will not be a great while before the inhabitants of the Pacific coast are simi- Barly favored. This is all that is desired. It would bea mere wanton waste of money to remove the eapitol under existing circumstances, The State Senate yesterday passed the much do- sired bill for the election of four coroners in thiscity. Under this act the candidates are to be voted for on a ‘The Canal Contracts—The Investigation and Evidence, The Albany journals have, for the last few days, groaned under the evidence furnished by the recent Canal investigation, developing the history of the | allotment of the cana) contracts for the enlargement authorized by « former Legislature. Only a portion of this evidence has yet been given; but it seems that the whole is to be published in a volume, with tables and statistics, extending to five or six hun- | dred pages, all forming a pretty considerable job for the legislative printers at Albany. ‘The character of the evidence, and the fucts dis- | aspect from what we have published on this subject during the last few weeks, ahead of all our contem- poraries of either party. Indeed, the evidence given by the witnesees consists of innumerable little unim- | portant facts, throwing the judgment into confusion, The press and people of this country are still ean- did enough in reference to Kossuth, to declare that they believe he is sincere in his expressions of love to his native land, and in his efforts to establish its freedom. The only diflerence they have with him is in relation to the wisdom, th® good sense, and the propriety of the course he has pursued in order to accomplish the object which he professes, and for which we give him ered!t, namely—the elevation of his country from a state of thraldom to liberty, prosperity, and independence. From the moment that he landed at Staten Island, he has mistaken his position in this country. The first thing that struck us as absurd and ridiculous in his conduct and bear- ing, and that showed a weakness in the intellect and good sense of Kossuth, was the parade and the flum- mery with which he assumed the retinue and trap- pings of existing foreign potentates, while he was and only disclosing, here and there, a solitary etate- ment that can give a character to the whole of this enormous transaction. Some of the developments, though on a small scale, are amusing enough. In the business there were numerous programmes and plans of distribution, made up by the various cliques and factions previous to the one which after- wards succeeded and carried the day. According to some of the evidence, there must have been eight or ten different schemes by the various jobbing cliques belon ing to the several parties, to oust and cheat each other, and to monopolize for themselves all the advantages growing out of these vast jobs. But one of the richest facts of the whole affuir is the deliberate statement that Thurlow Weed, before he started on his trip to Hurope, left his own ‘‘slate,” or plan of distribution, with certain persons—his fa- miliars—for the purpose of having it carried into execution by the Canal Board, during his absence. When we formerly published some curious particu- lars in this matter, we felt come astonishment and earprise that Weed himself ehould be absent during tho distribution or apportionment of such an im- mense amount of spoils as ten or twelve millions of dollars presented to the eyes of a politician and a jobber ; but it seems that Thurlow, while he could not forego an elegant leisure trip to Europe, did not forget his duty as ‘State Barber” and distributor of eupplies in general, for he left his orders with his confidants behind him; and probably the results of the distribution comprehend two-thirds of the pro- gramme which the ‘State Barber” left on the “slate” behind him, when he crossed the Atlantic. When we have more room and leisure, we may give our readers a few excerpts or cuttings from the great mass of unimportant eviderce which this inves- tigation has brought out. It illustrates the mo- rality, the justice, the jobbing, of political parties in this State, in a degree that will attract the atten- tion of the whole country, though probably it is equalled, if not exceeded, at Washington, or any other State capital. The grand result of these canal lettings, and the apportionment of the spoils, is as we have already etated, the throwing a vast amount of the patronage and influence conferred by the ten million loan into the hands of that portion of the whig party in this State who are actuated and in- spired by the revelations and higher law of William H. Seward. The enlargement of the canal, the ad- dition of ten or twelve millions to the debt of the State, the disbursement of that immense amount of money, cannot help giving power and influence to Mr. Seward and his particular faction, to an extent that must tell at every election, so long as these ex- penditures are going on, or the work is progressing. It is a great financial work, and also a great political job. While it increases the amplitude of the ca- nals and adds to the debt of the State, it throws a vast addition of power and influence into the hands of the whig leaders and the whig party, which can- not fail to tell at a future day. closed, do not vary much in a financial or moral | Lit1¢s.—The movements in the tates of Georgia, | eee anne a es) japan “will eppe Alabama, and Mississippi, to effect a reconciliation ; ip ie, eempenemonds,” ines between the Southora Rights democrats and the Union | the produced a certain pe as ine be .

Among them all, conventions and indignation meetings are the order of the day, while in Congress they are amusing themselves in bandying hard names, and in receiving eight dollars a day from thg public treasury for ex- perimental exercises in ficticuffs. This is a charming state of harmony between the two divisions of the Southern demoeracy. And the intriguing and jea- lousies of the little Presidential squads in Congress, for Case, Douglas, Buchanan, Butler, and other candidates, make it still moro interesting. We very mueh fear that this delightful state of things fore- shadows a precious row at the Baltimore Convention. As to the course which the poor whigs of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi will pursue, it ia beyond the power of the ‘‘spiritual manifestations” to re- yeul. Some of them, like Toombs, want to “ring in’? at Baltimore—others, like Stevens, would pre- fer to keop up the Union party, when it has not ano- ther stiteh of work to do; and some are ready to fal! back again into the old whig party. Possibly, in the end, they may form a little concern of their own,” like the Tyler Convention of 1844, In the meantime, the Southern Rights party o Alabama, have had a convention, and have ro affirmed the right of eccession. And the Washing ton Unton, with both oyes on the eensus printing, and alive to the expediency of getting all the vote itean in both houses, endorses the secession decla- ration, asa matter of course. Perhaps Foote, Cle- mens and Cobb, will swear a little at this, after having been supported by the Union, through thick and thin, against the right of secession. But their own experience in luffing, and tacking, and back- ing about in the crooked channels of politics, will enable them to exeuse this digression in the policy of their central organ. Anything ean be excused in view of a job of $250,000, more or less. The vote of Rhett counts as much as that of Clemons, and Brown's is just as good as that of Wilcox, for the census printing. It is thus that we may account for the harmonious spirit and brotherly love of the Washington Union. Its pretences that the safety of the country deponds upon the reunion of the democracy, are all dust and emoke, to blind the eyes of the people. The spoils are the game, and the census printing is the first jobin order. The squabbles and discords, and the various kinds of jealous cliques and factions among the whigs and democrats; are not‘at all a matter of alarm. ‘‘When rogues fall out, honest men get their just deserts.”” A split among politicians, like a split among thieves, is eure to bring out some va- Iuable facts as State’s evidence. The pot is begin- ning to boil, and we shall see all sorts of curious things turned up to the surface as the fire gets hot- ter. Let all hands prepare ‘for a hasty plate of soup. McrpeR aND MarniaGe—A New ARGUMENT aGainsT Capital PuntsoMENT.—The recent execu- tion of a German in this eity, named Grunzig, for the murder of his wife Victorine, by administering poison, has produced a curious exhibition of feeling It was, therefore, with a view to the future growth and ascendancy of the whigs in this State, that Thurlow Weed, hefore he went to Europe, left with his confidants his ‘* slate,” as ‘* State Barber,” with his views on the distribution of the contracts, the most of which have been carried out according o his legacy. RamKoaD ACCIDENTS—NEGLECT OF THE Direc- TORS AND THEIR OFFICERS.--Accidentsare constantly occurring on the raiftoads, particularly the Erie Railroad, of which the public hear nothing. Some, among the German population, excited chiefly by their press of all shades of opinion, which unani- mouely denouneed the execution of Grunzig as a fla- grant ‘judicial murder.” The funeral to Greenwood Cemetery having been announced fora Sunday, at least three thousand persons assembled, (many of them freemasons) and marched in solemn procession down Broadway to the South Ferry, to express, as it were, their conviction of the innocence of Grunzig, their dissent from the verdict of the jury, and their contempt for the administration of justice in New York. It was quite an imposing sight, and no doubt it is true, come to light—such ag that serious one of | was intended as a startling demonstration. The case Madame T. was born in Calcutta, of English parents, ‘but was brought up in France, from the age of fourteen, She made her début at Clermont, in the opera of * L’Ros- signal,” and afterwards appeared in “Jeau de Paris.”” Thix was the beginning of a brilliant carcer in France, which | was suceeeded by an equally victorious one in England. | She obtained an engagement at the Princess's theatre, in | Lendon, where she made her first appearance as Catarina. | im Auber’s * Crown Diamonds,” in which her success was | scarecly ever surpassed. ‘The piece had a great ran; and | im the came opera in Paris, she performed one hundred nights in succession, at the Opera Comique. with immense applause.

It is worthy of remark that rhe is the original “ Daughter of the Regiment,” that beautiful opera having been expressly composed for her, by Donizetti.

Niblo’e theatre, which is becoming wer day more and more the eentre of fashionable artists, will be for some time the most attraetive place of amusement in the city Marine Affairs. Tur New Steamer Nortusan Licit.—We recently paid a visit of inspeetion to this steamer, now lying at pier 3 North river. She is owned by Commodore Vander- bilt, the enterprising owner of the Nicaragua line of Cali- fornia steamers, besides many other steamers that have at various times astonished the travelling public on our rivers, by the magnificence and beauty of their appearance and unsurpassed powers of locomotion. In designing this steamer, the Commodore appears to have lost none of his spirit of enterprise. and has displayed a happy adapta- tion of every available space to the comfort and con- venience of his passengers, and that too without crowd- ing, whieh, in some steamers, is frequently a great and natural source of anmoyance. The state rooms and other sleeping places are all most bountifully supplicd with the two desiderata for comfortable and healthy travelling—light and ventilation. Her conveniences for promenading on her main deck are greater than are to be met with ina great many steamers. The promenade deck is extremely spacious and entirely free from the many cheeks to locomotion which mect the eye as well as the shins om some vessels, Her fittings, both inside and out, have been put upin a most substantial manner, and embrace every convenience that science and the great experience of the projector in such matters could suggest. > The model of the Northern Light is one of the neatest and most compact looking specimens of naval arcbifec- ture afloat. Her lines are round, with no flat or hollow spaces, a peculiarity, the advantages of which is a vexed question among ship-builders. She is not so sharp at her bow as some others, which display the hollow lines, as a natural consequence; but still has a very sharp appear- ance, Her stem is straight, without head or cutwater, and neatly finithed at the top with a little gilt scroll work. Her stern is round, and without ornament cf any description, but merely her name in gilt letters, and the red and white streaks that run round he yessel, along her guard streak, to release the dark appearance of her hull, which is painted a dark green. Ler beauty, however, could not be increased by any mere- tricicus ornuments, and whether the point of view is from head or stern, ehe displays the “line of beauty” through- out, every point in the construction of the vessel being so admirably adapted to the whole as to produce one of the most symmetrical und unique specimens of naval archi- tecture ever produced, the perfect combination making her to the cye appear much sinaller than her actual ton- ANS City Intelligence. MURDERK) bY HER BUSBAND--MORE EF- OF (STEM LERANCE*CORONER’S INQUEST, AND THR VERDICY OF THE JURY: Another of those terrible erimes designated murder, eceasioned, it is enid. by the effects of liquor such as fr sold at the majority of small three cent shops, im almost every portion of the city, has been committed. On Fiidey evening, a man named John Maloy, ap TrivLman by birth, while, it is alleged, he was under the intluence of intoxi¢ating drink, bedt and throttled his wife Mary to such an extent that, from the injuries in- fiicted. the unfortunate woman died in about an hour. It vcems that Maloy and his wife occupied a room in the building No. 242 Bast Thirteenth street, and had two- children, the eldest between two and Shave, yeers.06. age, anid the youngest an infant at the breast, ‘They were sp- parently poor, and unable to pay the rent of the lit tencment they cecupied, and the landlord contemplated turning them out on Saturday morning. by process of law. Whether this distrers was cecaiiene oe uence of intemperance, we cannot say; but on 'y afternoon, both husband and wife appear to have indulged them- relvee in intoxicating drink, and a quarrel ensued be- tween them. From high words they got to blows, and by repeated kicks and strangling inflicted by the husband, the wife received an injury which caused her death, An alarm was instantly given. end the police of the £eventeenth ward were called, who found the wife stretched on the floor, lifeless, her hair and in and her two little children weeping by her The wretched husband and fatber. who in created evidently by spirituous liquor, had just en the life of his wife, made no effort to escape, but: looked on the dreadful picture in a dogged manner, ap- pecreny not realising the awful position he had placed imecif in. Officers Mansfield and Brown took the murderer into eustody. and conveyed him to the station house, to await the finding of the Coroner's jury. Yeeterday afternoon, Coroner Ives. held an inquest om the body, and the following is the testimony clicited :— TRSTIMONY, Catharine sworn. rays she resides with her hus- band. at No. East Thirteenth street, in the same house with deceased; about six o'clock om Kriday even- ing.

The husband told witness that deceased was drunk, and “fell off und died. ‘Phere seemed to be some blood around the lips of deceased at the time I saw her. Magdalin Schroeder, sworn, says—I reside at corner of Avenue A and Thirteenth street; I heard a screaming in the apartments of deccased, and went to the back win- dow; I saw the husband of deceased have his wife on the floor, holding her by the throat, and kieking her in the breast; the prisoner now present, said to be the husband, is the man I «aw holding deceased and beating her; it was about half past five or a quarter before six o'clock, when. Teaw what I have stated. Dr. Lidell made a post mortem examination of the body of deceared. He testified as follows:—I found some bruires on the back of the left hand and wrist, and om the face, particularly the left eyclids; on taking off the scalp Ifound the marks of a severe contusion over the rigMt temporal muscle; the tissue of the said muscle was infiltrated with blood to a considerable extent; on removing the skull cap and the brain, a large quantity of blood was discovered lying beneath the viscual arachnoid manbrane throughout the left tem region, the an- terior portion of the cerebral hemispheres, the right tem- porel region, and the base of the brain; the quantity of blood was very abundant about the medulla oblorgata and the cerebellum; the blood in the sulci,and about the cere- bellum was congulated; the quantity’ of fluid and coagu- lated bloody effusion was more than halfa pint; the tissues of the brain were somewhat softer than natural throughout; no laceration or effusion into the substance of the brain was detected; the lateral ventricles contained some bloody serum. and the right lateral ventricle a small clot; after careful search, no fracture of the skull was detected; the lunge, heart, liver, &c., appeared to be natural; the sto- mach contained fix or eight ounces of undigested and partially digested food; the muscular tissues generally were somewhat softened; the rigor mortis was very slight; in my opinion the cause of death was compression of the brain by extravasated blood, and said extravasation of blocd might have been occasioned by violence. On the conclusion of the evidence, the Coroner briefly charged the jury on the testimony, and it was submitted for their consideration. In a short time they returned, the following veRDICT. “That Mary Maloy came to her death by injuries in- flicted. in the opinion of the jury, by the hands of her husband, John Maloy. on the 12th March, 1 The deceased was a native of Ireland, aged 35 years, and has left two children. one an infant at the breast.

A resolution has been introduced in the Aseembly te compel the Canal Auditor to submit to the con- trol of the Canal Board. It will be recollected that the Auditor refused, and still refuses, to pay the @rafts of the Canal Commissioners until after the question of the legality of the canal lettings has been decided; and if this resolution is passed, he will in all likelihood feel compelled to resign. It is understood that the report of the Joint Investigating Committee will be furnished to-morrow, and then there will be warm work. Several of the democra- tic members are said to have prepared themselves for a general onslaught. State oflicers, contractors, and all others concerned in the awards, are te re- ecive an overhauling; and before the week is out, we shall probably be enabled to furnish some of the most curious and exciting debates on political finan- jering, trickery, and corruption that haye ever taken place in this country. Our Albany correspondent writes that Gerrit mith last evening availed himself of the privilege | of relieving his mind of the Maine liquor law. Now that he has got rid of his disagreeable bur- then, and culogised this pet of the ‘Mainites” to | his heart's content, it is supposed that the teeto- | tallers in this vicinity would be thankful if he he | after keeps quiet on the subject. Many of them will | bo much chagrined at this interference of a rank | abolitionist in their cause. By the way, a bill bar been reported in the Assembly imposing pe- L- nalties on railroad companies, for employing men who make a practice of imbibing intoxi- exting liquors, &c. With a few alterations, thie measure might be productive of great good.

Admitting, therefore, that he is a real patriot, in the exhibitions that he has presented in this country he reminds one of Barnum, in a show of patriotisin, which is show, and nothing else. His subsequent acts, negotiations, and announcements of the pur- chase of two dollar muskets in New York, and sad- Wes in Cincinnati—thus idly throwing away the little money he had collected in foolish prepara- tions that never could lead to anything—render him the laughing stock of the community, and his very friends and admirers hang down their heads for shame, that he should attempt to achieve so stu- pendous an undertaking by means so inadequate and go pert childish. But his other absurdities and want of sense were capped by the silly effort to attribute all the opposition in a portion of the press and people of this country to Austrian bribery and Austrian inflnence. That gives the finishing touch to his ¢ and sets him down an amiable sim- pleton ond an enthusiastic fool, who deserves pity and commiseration, but no rancor or di acte’ THE Mormons at Sat Lake.— ce it stated in tome of the Western journals, that a vast emigration is expected to go westwardly, from the valley of the Mississippi, during the ensu- ing summer, towards the desert of Utah—-the home of the Mormons—the number of those emigrants from the North and Eastern States, alone, being ed at five or six thousand persons. In addition to this emigration, we may state that a vast acces- sion will also cross the Atlantic from Europe, to the INCREASE OF mo same destination—probably of an equal, if not su- | perior extent. From all sources, it is generally estimated that, | during the present year, ten thousand persons, if not more, will be added to the population of Utah territory—all blending and mingling with the Mor- mon church and the Mormon movements in that region. According to the last census, the Mormons | Rumbered about twelve thousand persons ; but from | Tecent eources of intelligence, we are led to believe | that at present they reach twenty thousand, and, with the additional emigration expected during the present year, they will probably soon be over thirty, and will be rapidly growing on forty thousand per- sons, of all sexes, beleiviug in the Mormon creed, promoting the plurality of wives—seven to each man— and having faith that Joe Smith was a prophet of@ God for these latter days. The rise, growth, increase, principles, and prac- | tices of Mormonism will soon begin to call the at- tention of the rest of the nation, and more espe: ly of Congress, to its singularity, its position, and ite menaces. Already they form a society stimulat- ed by the deepest feclings of fuith or fanaticism in their own erced and practices. These principles and that creed are utterly hostile to the rest of the Union, and must be the cause, one of these days, of some serious émevic, unless steps are taken in time to provide a remedy before the evil is too great for the grappling of Congress. Aw Ixpucemenr ror BacueLons.—There are, it in said. tWelve thousand marriageable girla in the city of Lowell, Mastachurette, the directors, and never see day unless they ooze out by mere accident, from some passenger. An accident occurred about a fortnight or three weeks ago, on the Erie Railroad, inflicting considerable injury upon passengers, but nothing about it has ever been pub- lished. We have just learned from ome passengers on the Erie Railroad, that on Thursday last, a frightful accident occurred to the up train, between Narrowsburg and Deposit, by which the curs were driven off the track, and down an em- bankment sixteen or seventeen feet high, smashing two or three cars, burning others, and injuring seve- ral of the passengers seriously—some, it is feared, fatally. One child had its arm broken, and was otherwise so injured that it was apprehended it would not live—probably it is already dead. Others were crippled and bruised in a horrible manner, though we are happy to say none were actually killed on the spot. Hed it not been for an aceumu- lation of ice some six feet deep, left on the margin of the Delaware, after the ice on the river had broken up, the consequences would have been terri- ble, for the whole train would have been plunged into the water, and ral lives would have been lost; but the icy barrier presented such an obstruc- tion as arrested the progress of the locomotive. The burning of some of the cars was caused by the stoves being broken and the fire being dashed about. These accidents are caused by the carelessness and incompetence of the servants of the company, for which the directors are responsible to the public, in not appointing a bette: 3 of men, or in not dis- missing those who trifle with the lives of so many human beings. There is but one remedy for the evil—one way of bringing these railroad companics to their senses:—Let every person, man or woman, who has sustained an injury in his or her porson, or in the persons of their relatives, in consequence of the criminal neglect to which we have adverted, bring an action at law against the companies; and | we trust that juries will be found, who, for their | own sakes, if not for the public good, will render | such verdicts, and award such damages, as will, in | future, protect the lives and limbs of railroad pas- | sengers. Aslong as the public permit these acci- dents to pass off without bringing the managers of the comparies to account, there will be no remedy—no | redres —and some new accident will be continually oceurring, each more destructive and more appalling | than that which preceded it. Meeting with impu- | nity, from time to time, they laugh at the people. | But only let a few examples be made by verdicts giving heavy damages, and very soon we shall sce | a marvellous improvement in the safe transit of pas- sengers in railroad carriages. The public have the | remedy in their own hands, if they will only use it. | | i} } Mantinique ano Guapatovre papers, which have reached us to the latest dates, are chiefly cecupied with | addresses of felicitation and adhesion to the government of Louis Napoleon, The islands were ina state of tran- y, though it had been found necessary to iseue very | ing the populace against wuffering | rations of feel- | 8 of Louis Na- betrayed into any den ing adverre to the recently developed poleon. | Mcinl returns emanating from the customs depart- the following quantities of produce appear to have been exported from Martinique and Guadaloupe during the year ending ber U1, 1861 Ma: Guadaloupe.

There are other points with which a vigorous agitation could be commencedg In the first place, the abolition of capital punishment,—Michigan and Rhode Island have gone before—New York iust follow. The Legislature is now in sessi tition, circulated at the present mon pe ‘ z ent, under the awful impression of the late execution, would probably obtain such a number of signatures that this would be the last execution in the State.

In- stead of opposing the law, they oppose its executors; ‘and this mode of procedure ca only lead to a disas- trous confusion of ideas. This execution has ended a law suit, which also affords illustrations ofanother institution with which society torments itself until lassitude or exhaustion, namely—marriage. This case demands some refiection. Victorine, the wife of Grunzig, had claims on her husband, accord- ing to “old rights,” and Margaretta, his mistress, thought to have newer and fresher rights. In this way it came to a conflict; and as our regulations are 0 exemplary, it came to the well known solu- tion—one of the three par i other executed, and the third is in prison, to await yerbaps a more serious accusation. The whole is a consequence of the abovementioned institution [mar- riage]; but it ix snid that society is endangered— that a moral indignation is produced—if only a word is uttered about euch a corrupt institution. The evidence against Grunzig was purely cireum- tantial. There was no proof that he had purchased poison, and though there could be no doubt that the death of his wife was caused by some destructive mineral, yet it also appeared, according to his own statement, that he himself had partaken of the poi- soned food, and was very sick from its effects. He complained to Margaretta Lohrens, (his mistross,) who was examined as a witness for the prosecution, that he was sick, that his face was infamed—he had medy. Margaretta took him to a clairvoyant in William street, and he afterwards felt better. The had done him good, he hastened home, and said he would give some to his wife, who was still sick. It | did not appear that there had been any quarrelling between Grunzig and his wife; Margaretta said he always seemed to like his wife very well. But it appeared, on the other hand, from Margaretta’s own testimony, that some angry words passed between her and Grunzig’s wife; that Mrs. Grunzig scolded and insulted her, and threatened to strike her. A proposition was afterwards made by the wife to the mistress to go back to Germany, and leave her child here with Mrs. Grunzig; but to. this Margaretta would not consent, and » good deal of suspicion hag attached to her, both from circumstances that trans- pired on the trial, and from others which have been since brought to light. This being the state of facts, the German papers, of which there are six or eight in this city, took the matter up, and denounced the execution as murder, and marriage as the cause of it. ‘ Marriage,” says one of them, as quoted above, “is a corrupt institution;” and this is urged as an argument nage really is. lier appearance on the water ia light and | 00 Friday night a man by the name of Thomas H. 1 Accustomed to engage authority | | for their passions and struggles—their hopes and | brated clipper ship Raven graceful, and he is looked upon by many well versed in these matters as a perfect model for a steamship, Her means of accommodating a large number of passen- gers are very ample, Her dining saloon for the first-class passengers ix pizced on the main deck, about midships, and is a well-lighted and commodious apartment, forty by - thirty-six in dimensions, and extending clear across the deck, without any intermediate state rooms to inter- fere with the thorough ventilation of the apartment.
