VERY LATE FROM BERMUDA AND st. THOMAS—IN- TELLIGENCK FROM ANTIGUA, GUADALOUPB, AND TURKS ISLAND. Tho mail steamship Morlin, Capt. Cope, arrived at this port yosterday morning, from St. Thomas and Bermuda. She loft the former placo on tho Ist, and the latter on the 6th inst. Our advicos by hor aro:— Antigua......... Turks Island St. Thomas Bermuda. . o There is no nows of importance. BERMUDA. The brig Swan, Capt. Pearce, for some two yoars or more employed in tho cattle trade from this port toBermuda, baving boen succeeded in the service by the bark Eliza Barss, loft Hamilton on the 30th ult. for St. Thomas. A just notice of tho Swan's successful voyages, and of Captain Poarco’s atten- tion to his passengers, whilst ongagod in that trade, appears in the Bermuda Gazette of the 23d ult. H. M.S. Cumborland, Admiral Sir George T. Seymour, flag ship, and H. M. steamer Dovastation, were at, Bormuda when tho Morlin left. They were quite ready for any service. a Tho islands wero vory healthy. As an additional proof of their genoral sislubrity, it is montionod that 2 company of one hundred men, of tho corps of Royal Sappors and Miners, had just returned to England, after a three years’ residence there, without thoro having occurred a single casualty. Tho sappors, it is ell known, are exposed, in the porformanco of their duty, to all tho various changos of tempera- ture to which the climate in which they are serving is subject. The foundry for steam machinery is in rapid pro- gress at the Royal Navy Yard. The prisons at Boar Island for the residenco of the convicts transported to those islands from Eng- land, are, in part, nearly finished. The convicts aro now, and have hitherto been, confined in hulks. Two of those unfortunate creatures escaped from the hulks at Boar Island on tho 17th ult., and were at large till the morning of the 20th, when they were found secreted in a cave close by the water’s edge, the ontranoe to which thoy had in some measure concealed by piling up sea grass. They had made no provision for the attempt, and woro, consequently, half starved whon captured. There was a very intorosting cricket match played at St. Georgo’s on the 17th, botwoen the officers of the 56th regiment and the officors of the Cumber- land. The former were tho victors. In the even- ing the 56th regiment gave a dinnor and a ball. he site for the now hotel to be built by the cor- ration of Hamilton town, was fast being levelled. Tis on an oeminonce, directly eastward, about a quarter of a mile from Trinity Church, It is avory commanding position, and will be a delightful resi- lence. The tower of Trinity Church was Pron reins There was some probability of the good people of Pombroke and neighborhood having something to govern their movements, as it is intended to have a clock in the tower of the church. The potato crop was very promising. Thore had not been as many planted this year as last by 500 barrels, owing to the scarcity of secd. The tomatoes promised fair. The onions, generally speaking, looked well. ANTIGUA. The advices from Antigua are to the 4th ult. There is nothing of public importance. Joseph Shirvington, Esq., late Deputy Treasurer, has been appoiured Treasurer, provisionally, in the place of Anthony Musgrave, who died on the 25th of Feb- ruary. TURKS ISLAND. The dates from Turks Island are to the 17th of larch. A large quantity of salt of tho best do- scription was lying ready for shipment, at Grand and Salt Cay. ST. THOMAS. There is nothing but ship news, of any cons quence, from this Danish Island. Tho marine intel- ligence will be found under the proper head. GUADALOUPE. Important to Shipmasters and others. We observe by a proclamation issued by the Go- vernor of Guadaloupe,that tho following regulations will be observed at The Saints, in consequence of French Guiana being make a penal settlement. First—From and after the arrival at the Saints of the ship Duguesclin, and until further orders, all merchant vessels, droghers, boats or crafts whatsoover, sailing or plying within tho vicinity of the Saints, shall not, during the night. approach so near the shores of those islands as to be within cannon shot. Secondly---Every night, half an hour after the setting of the sun, a gun shall be fired from one of the batteries of ‘La Terre de Haut.’’—From that timo until the rising of the sun, every vessel or boat which shall act contrary to the foregoing regulation. shall be fired at—the firat gun to be loaded with blank cartridge, by way of notice; the se- cond, andevery other. should such become necessary. 8! beshotted—the expense of discharging such guns to be de- frayed by the owner or the master of the vessel or other raft. ‘Thirdly—The Military Commandant and the Intend- ant Commisrary are directed, in so fur as each is con- cerned. to see to the due observance of the present Procla- mation, which shall be recorded in all places where it shall be necessary. Later from Brazos. THE MEXICAN ASSAULT UPON THE STEAMER CA- MANCHE. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 7th instant, says:—The steamship Yacht, Captain Thompson, arrived yesterday morning, from the Brazos, bring- ing $22,976 in specie, freight. We learn from her officers that, just before the Yacht left the Brazos, information had reached Captain Kennedy, of the steamer Grampus, then at Brazos, from a reliable source, that the steamer Camanche, during her last trip up the Rio Grande, from Brownsville to Roma, had been fired into by a’ party of Mex on their side of the river, some time about the 25th or 26th ult. The circumstances, as near as could be ascer- tained, are as follows :— The Camanche, Capt. King, loft Brownsville with hergusual freight, and about forty passengers, among whom were Gen. Caravajal, Judge Arrington, Hon. Mr. instead, and se) other State officers, together with several ladies and a num- ber of merchants. After leaving Brownsville those on board observed that a party of Mexicans, supposed to be soldiers, were following the boat along the banks, therefore, Capt. King aveided the Mexican side as much as possible, and only went on that side when it was absolutely necessary. Nothing occurred until the day uestion, when a party of women came down the er and hailed them, saying that some soldiers were waiting above to take the boat. At ornear the place stated by them the steamer was fired into by a party concealed in the chaparral; and out of five shots fired three took effect upon the cabin of the boat, not in- jwring any one however, which was very singular ‘as all of the passengers were out on deck, and among them were the ladies. It is supposed that the shots were intended for Caravajal, it being known that he was on board, going up. The above occurred near the rancho of Las Cuevas, some forty or fifty miles below Rio Grande City. Those on board have drawn up the necessary documents, which will come on by the next mail. The Galveston Journal, eters of the wreck of the Independence, say: ‘he passengers saved no begaiee cvervelsne was lost. The condition of the deck passengers and emigrants is distressing, ig lett entirely destitute. The beach is strewn with goods. The wreck is to be sold on the Ist April, as she lays, but is not worth much, as every- thing of value has been washed overboard. Late From Port-av-Srain.—Advices from Port- au-Spain, Trinidad, have been received down to the 15th of March, at which timo the weather was very unfavorable for sugar making. There was a plentiful supply of American produce in the market. Flour was brisk at $6258 $650 for Baltimore brands; pork brought $19 for moss, and lard 16¢. The political inteiligence is of no moment. DestroctivE StorM AND FRESHET IN VIRGINIA. —A violent storm of rain, hail and snow occurred in the vicinity of Clarksburg, Va., on the 4th instant, doing im- mense damage to property on Elk Urcek and Weat Fork river, which rose to an unprecedented height. The Glarkshurg Register eays:—The bridge across the Elk, at this place, onthe Clarksburg and Philippi turnpike, was swept away, aswas also the warehouse of Dr. Gittings, occupied by Thomas Jones naa saddler's shop, The da- mage done to the tannery of John Stealcy was immense. ‘The grist and sew mills of Dr. Gittings wore considerably injured. and a large quantity of grain and lumber were either destroyed or swept away. It was with considerable difficulty that the bridge across the Elk, on the northwest turnpike, was saved. The bridge at the mouth of the Fik, on the northwestern turnpike, was swept off, but was cabled toa tree and saved. On the West Fork river the destruction was very great. Two bridges were carried away —one on the road to Milford, and one on the northwes- tern turnpike, A bridge, supposed to be the one across the river at Weston, floated past here on Monday eve- ning. A large quantity of fine lumber, logs, &c., were swept away and lost. The at Milford, Weston and Phillippi has been wery great. The bridge across the Valley river and Three Fork, near Pruntytown, are reported to have been lost, At Burlington, Vt., a recent verdict in the county court, etaion We, bares he Mise Th Bailey, in an action against Me, Lestec 8, Wasuer, for breweb of pro- mire of marriage. AFFAIRS IN WEW YORK CITY. Pee The American Geographical Soclety. At tho monthly mocting of this newly incorpo- rated association on Tuosday ovening, two rare and valuable cliarts wore presented by Mr. Disturnoll, through Rev. Mr. Hawks. No 1 was a small print- ed map, about 6 by 8 inches, of the Eastern half of North America, entitled ‘A now and accurate map of North Amorica, including tho British acquisitions gained by the late war—1763.””. This map contains the then boundaries of the different States. Tho boundary lino of tho State of Pennsylvania is mado to cross the Niagara rivor alittle abovo tho Falla, and to include in the northwost corner of that State what is nowa part of Lowor Canada. All the rost of that fortilo peninsula which lioa around Toronto to the southwest of the Ottawa is laid down as bolonging to the original British province Tho northorn boundary of Ni cent is marked out by a atraight line on the 48th dogree of north latitude, extending west of Lake Superior towards the Pacific Oocan ; this lino is explained as ‘*Northorn bounds of New England, 162 but the New England provinces proper aro laid down as having thoir northern boundary directly on tho St. Lawrenca, in- atoad of boing, as at presant, separated from t river by an oxtensive tract of The bounds ia (in 1609), aro shown bya line stretching west of the Mississippi to- wards tho Pacific, on tho 40th degree of north Lati- tudo. No.2 was achart of the northwest coast of America, and tho northeast coast of Asia, oxplored in the years 1778-9, prepared by Lieut. H. Roberts, under tho immediate inspection of Ceptain Jamos Cook, R.N. This chart is dooply interesting, inas- much as it shows tho track pursued by Capt. Cool along tho northwest coast of America, from n lat. 45 dog. to 70 deg., passing through Bhering’s Straits as far north aa tho ico would permit. When off the mouth of the Columbia river, ho was driven by tho winds off shoro, thereby losing sight of tho mouth of the above important rivor, which was thus left to be discovered by to Gray, an Amerioan navigator, on 7th May, 1792. City Intelligence. Hints to tix New Conronation.—One of the many nuisances, and not the least, perpetrated by the late Common Council, was that of completely blocking up the western wing of tho United States Cireuit Court, and of- fices in the City Hall. by the erection of the Recorders new court, The windows on the Centre strect side of the building are now all “blind,” 40 that if necessity re- quire the court to sit later than three or four o'clock, the business cannot be conducted without the aid of candles, The clerk's offices, beneath the court room, are rendered 80 totally dark, from the recent encroachments, that they have been obliged to vacate one department, and con- duct the business ina small clowt at the rear of the building, on the Chamber street side, Here, too, a nuisance presents itself, which is not only offens' but dangerous to the frequenters of the court, and is very much complained of. ‘The promises are immediatoly over the office of the Commissionors of Emmigration, wh the most wretched, squalid, and diseased of human’ are congregatcd—where ship fever frequently rages to 2 fearful extent, and where pestilential diseases porvade the very atmosphere which the frequonters of the courts inhale. The judges and officials forwarded a remon- atrance against this nuisaneo to the defunct corporation; but their honors treated it with silent contempt, though the United States authorities pay the city of New York $5,000 per annum for the use of these premises, We would suggest, that as the court and offices have been so dimmed as to make justice even more blind than she is— that a sky light be put up, or that other courts and offices be provided for the United Siates officials of this district; and that before the heat of summer overtakes us, a more seasonable receptacle for diseased and famine-stricken emigrants—in the outlets, or on the borders of the riv- ers—thould be provided by our new city fathers, whose best guide to public respect will be the avoidance of such jobs as their predecessors perpetrated, and the repealing of the wrongs which they inflicted. . D. G. Baitey.—The remaina of the pt G. Bailey arrived here by the steamer Daniel Webster, and were taken by his relatives to his native place. Pittston, Maine, for interment. Capt. Bai- ley was a long time commander of the packet ship York- shire, and afterwards commander of the steamers Pan- amagand the Pacific, He wus on his way home when he djed. Dr. Bopisiyn.—We learn that Dr. Bodinier who has gained, in this city. a great celebrity, returned lately from his travelling excursion, in France’ in Italy. where he was obliged to go tor his private affairs and the ofhis health, Dr. B. has, since his arrival in New York, clearly explained his views on bis future professiona course, He wishes not to enlarge his family practice, and desires only to devote his time more and move exclusive- ly to the operations of surgery, diseases of the eyes, and consulting practice. Man Ox.---On monday evening an ox, which was being driven through the First avenue, cscaped (rom the driver and ran furiously through the street, endangering the lives of citizens. A man named Phillips was going to work, was tossed in the air by imal, and landed amongst a pile of paving st taining serious injury, All efforts to capture the were unsuccessful, and he was finally shot down by officer Erb, of the Eighteenth ward police. City Improvements.—Among the various buildings that are being torn down to be replaced by new and splen- did edifices throughout the city, we observe that the old sugar factory. corner of Thames street and Trinity place, is sharing the same fate. This an it building is inte- resting in consequence of its historical, or, rather, revolu- tionary charactor, It was a strong building, and was built in 1751 for a his. ed factory, after the fashion of erecting houses in ancient times—-the walls being nearly three feet thick, with a number of small windows and loop-holes. During the revolutionary war it was used as a prison; and of late was employed ‘as a tobacco ware- house, ‘It is tobe replaced by a six story building, in- tended for a large jobbing house, Pananr. or THe Firtn Reoiext.—The Fifth Regiment of New York Militia paraded on Monday in regulation dress, Shortly ufter one o'clock they arrived at Centre Market, where an inspection took place. They were pre- ceded by a splendid band, and presented a fine military appearance. It was gratifying to witness the regularity and precision with which they went through the military evolutions, Tur Poxice. anv Fintny Coxpirion or rar Strerra.— Captain Steven: on, of the Sixteenth ward pc states that he has numerous complaints made to him daily in relation to the filthy condition of the streets.

Court of General Sessions. Before the Recorder, and fae Westley, Smith, and Barr, Avni, 12—4n Outrage--Trouble Among the Free- mesons.—At the sitting of the Court this mor ng. on ap- plication was made by A. A. Phillip wo writs, one of habeas corpus, and another ¢ to bring Thomas J, Sheppard. and all the papers connceted with the om the Essex Market station, where he was dcinined in custody, The circumstances are stated by the applicant. and as afterwards fully proved by the aiti davits, and rome viva voce evidence, were, that in the month of January, 1852. some internal dissensions arose in Lafayette (Freemasons) Lodge, which met at 600 Broadway, and of which the prosecutor. Herbert Hern- stein, claimed to be master, That ont ning of the Sth, the defendant forcibly seized the tin which con- tained the charter of the lodge, dated in 12. id handed it over to Mr, Stewart. who claimed to be the duly au- thorized master, several of the members aiding him in this forcible and summary proceeding. Nothing further was dono, until Saturday Inat, when the defendant was about to sail for Europe, bya ship then in the stream, and on board which was his wife and three children, with all their property, whon, by virtue of a war- rant issued by Police Justice Mountfort, he was arrested, dragyed on shore, and locked up without an opportunity of communicating with his wife, who sailed in ignorance of his precise position, It was further alleged that the magistrate was one of the Order, and a party interested and Prejuuliced in the case, and as such, had so expressed himself. The writs were ordered to issue, returnable forthwith, and in the afternoon all the parties appeared, the Court being filled with members of the Order. who attended to hear the proceedings, In the affidavit of complaint, it was stated that in the tin box were $10, the private property of Hernstein; but Mr. Phillips now contended no knowledge of that was shown in the defendant, and no felonious intent could be impu- ted, as all the members were equally entitled to the tody of the charter. He applied on the ground of par- tiality, that the cause should be removed ; andthe Court should inquire into it. This was accordingly done, and Mr, Charles C, Herbert was examined. He stated that he had, in company with Mr, Stewart and a third gentle- man, called on the proseeutor, who had admitted he could not tell whether there was really any money in the tin box or not. The box and charter were the property of all and each of the members, and every one was entitled to the possession and perusal of the latter ; they could not open a lodge without it; witness would not believe Hern- stein under oath. Mr. Stewart corroborated this state- meni, and added, the box was brought to him, and he opened it immediately ; thore was no money in it at all.— The Coutt, atter a short conference, were nd opinion there was not sufficient to constitute any criminal offence made out, and ordered the defendant to be discharged. He then left the Court amid numerous congraulatons fom his friends and brother Masons in atten Charge of hip fey Ta gaeneld Love.—Alexander D. G.

Both those gontlemon were rigidly oroas- examined by Mr. Spencer, for the prisoner, and they ad- mitted they could not identify the parties beyond their bebef, nor could they speak to the facts, irroapeotive of their memorandums. Mary Ann Shaw, the alloged second wife, was then called. As she was evi in unwilling witness, she had been detained in custody, and was now brought from the City Prison, She was very neatly and mo- dostly dressed, not more than sixteen years of age, rather » good-looking girt,with bright, dark eyes, and bearing a1ook of fixed determination 10 pursue the course she had adopted. ‘The cot jonnsel, jury and all, were com- letely “taken aback’ by her point blank donial of the fact of her marriage. in which denial she persisted.

Fuller, a apocial Dopuly Sheriff, an opportunity of describing the habits and man- nersof the persons engaged in these dopredations. Mary Ann Gallagher was charged with stealing about ten pounds of cotton froin some bales lying at the foot of Gouverneur street, on the 9th instant. Mr. Fuller statod he was entrusted with tho cuslody of the cotton, toguard it from such depredations, which are very common, and sometimes extensive. Onthe day in question, he ob- served several boys playing about, jumping on and over the bales, &c., and this attracted his attention, for while a party divert the attention of the watchers, ‘with their playful and innocent gambols, there is always reu- son to believe that others are more profitably engaged below.
