Our Havace Gerrespondence. Havana, July 12, 1853. All about the Blaver Lady Suffolk. Thanks to the diligence and activity displayed by the correspondents of the New York Humavp, and their unceasing effurts in following up the track of the vessels, the slave ship Lady Snffolk, or Eclipse, or Mariana, owned by Don Julian Zulueta, ‘the boasting bon amie of Queen Christina, and of all the corrupt men about the Spanish court, stands now a fair chance of meeting with her deserts. She thas been seized in consequence of informality of her papers by the authorities of Laguoa de Terminoa, Yucatan. Those authorities, doubtless, will do their duty, and we may rest satisfied that the Lady Suf folk has made her last voyage to the coast of Af feiea; but, ba! ba! ba! ha! who would ever have @reamed that the British brig of war Daring would vinit such an ont of the way placé as Laguna just in the very nick of time to pounce upon the slaver, as he thought himself secure from molestation, and affording another reason why the anthorities ef Laguna should act honestly in dealing with this piratical vessel. A circumstance so unexpected never entered poor Don Julian's ealculations, that jade Fortune, whose e*pecial favorite he hitherto has been, is becoming fickle, or she never would have permitted such well combined arrangements to be freetrated by the trifling incident noted in the pab™ Mahed correspondence from Lagana, which led to that vessel's detection, as stated by the writer to the following efiect. Referring to the large ship which had arrived at Laguna, he says: ‘The vessel's Gzurehead reprerents the gxidess Fawe, with wings ou her Mack ands traoger in cee bend, a wreih io theoher Suv Suffolk in toe N and is no ¢eudt the was built by soe nd HORIe six MODIRS eg acd Balva Bonds (Cuba) by Mr G From Cenfuegos. where ne lasged upw i idever, sbe came here with w seu levter girea dy the Mexi an Consul there The cirenmstances connected with the arrival of this chip at Babia Honda, 3 much frequented ort, distant barely thirty miles to the westward of Sarnia: iu November list, ber stay there of eight days, under the protection of the guns of one of the forts, her heavy armament and crew of eighty men, ail vent from Havana by the passenger coasting steamer Siveva, is nuw notorious to the whole worid. It is also equally notorious that she returned to this iclani trem the Mozambique with a cargo of about twelve hunéred slayea. which were safely landed with the counivance of the authorities, at the Kn- fednda de Cochinos, district of Cienfuegos, on the south. [t is also known that in consequence ofa de- bate in the British House of Lords, having refereace to she ecandalous impnnity with which the slave trade is carried on in Ouba, and certain reprisals which are threatened by the British government, a sudden activity had sprung up on the part of these anthori- ties, aid a weil feigned desire to comply with the | treaties, but which, unluckily, had been frastrated by the greatest slave trader of them all having declared that the chief authority of the sland and the Lieut. Governor of Cienfuegos had received compensation fur granting him permission to fotroduce his 1,200 African victims, and which statement, itis said, he is determined to adhere to, notwithstanding his con- finenent in the Fort Cubana, and all the attempts whieh have been made to induce him to withdraw his accusation. Ali these circumstances being matters now of pub- Tis notoriety, it is useless to occupy your time in re- peating them; bet as you must natarally wonder under what authority the Mexican Consul in this island could have granted the sea letter which ‘was presented to the authorities at Laguna de Ter- minos by Capt. Don Jose Gutierrez, the new ma-ter of the Lady Saffulk, or Eclipse, or Mariana, upon his mrival from Cienfuegos at port, it may not be uminteresting to you to know, and at any rate will serve to enlighten you as i how those things are managed in Cuba, and with what a precious set of ——,um ali—honest people are sometimes com- pelled to associate. | In the first place, it would be as well to explain to | that after the negroes were landed from the Yeay Suffolk, Vinas (the captain), aud some forty of | hie sailors accompanied the slaves, as agort of escort, | from the place of disembarkation to Julian Zulaeta’s estate, the Alava, whilst the vessel, under the com- mand of the third mate, Gutierrez, and thirty moa, ‘was ordered to proceed immediately to Laguna de Terminos, where she duly arrived—Zulueta cansing ‘the story of ber being scuttied and burnt to be cireu- lated, to draw off the public attention. A few years agoa little bald headed man, half Mexican half Spanish, about thirty-eight years ofage, mader the name of Buenaveuture Vivo, made two or three not over successful trips between Cuba and the coast of Africa on slave trading speculations. But having upon one occasion, ran great risk of his neek by being almost captured by a British cruiser, he was filled with fear, and made a solemn vow, io futnre, never to have anything to do with the slave trade; he accordingly returned to Cuba, and obtaia- ed the command of a little Spanish brig called the Emilio, belonging to Don M. Santelices, and made many lawful voyages between Havana and Sisal, Gmnpeachy. Just before Santa Anna's return to | Besico im 1848, General Buratre was sent by the former 0D @ mission to Yucatan, for the purpose of enlisting the sympathies of the Governor, Barba- ehano, in Santa Anna's faver. Gen. Basadre took e in Capt. Vivo’s bri i e ed also in the same vessel to Havana. Now, this eusning little formerly slave-trading captain made gueh good ure of bis befng cooped up in tits Kittle bit @f seabin with the fat. joily, 90d natured old Gen. Basadre, that soon after Santa Aaua’sreturn to Mex- ico in 1844, the excellent Mexican Cunsul bere, De la Vega, a most respectable gentleman, was removed from fis office, and, to the astouishinent of all Hava- ga, Capt. Vivo was commissioned to reign in his stead. Santa Anna wes again in exile; but by dint of most persevering cunning, Vivo kept his consulate, ainting Santa Anua at Carthagena of everything he heard with regard to affairs in Mexico, and auly | informing Gen. Arista in Mexico of all he knew about Santa Anna. " Since the latter bas once more been restored t) the Presidency, our worthy little Captain has been st‘ll more highly promoied. "He is now Mexican Minister Plenipotentiary to the rourt of Madrid. The last official act of his Excellency was to farnish the pirate ship Lady Suffolk wish’ false papers to navi- | gate the ocean, for which he received a very hand- some douceur from his friend Jolian Zulueta, A man who knows Vivo well, says the Lady Soff lk is Sons 1, that be has furnished with similar doca, ments, 80 that we canvot be surprised that the au- | thorities at Laguna should have found those furnian- | ed te her ladyship somewhat informal. Havana, July 12, 1853. All Newspapers shut out of the Isand—Post Ofice Practices. The London Times, by order of General Canedo, ‘Wm furore will not be admitted into this island to be ead by ite ever faithful inhabitants. Its publication of the debate on the Cuban slave trade which took place in the British House of Lords, and the killing articles on the same subject, of the 25th and 30th of May, has been too much for General Canedo, so he has determined that hereafter the London Times shall be made te keep company with the New Yoak Hanan, El Orden de Madrid,and others ad infini- | tum, in that little room which I have described to you on a former occasion as being the receptacle for ail those public journals as are not, in the Captain Gen- eral’s opinion, on a par of respectability with his own paid, slanderous organ, La Cronica, of New York. Upon the arrival of the last mails from New York, some of the letters reached the parties to whom they were addressed, but none of the news pspers. English as well as American were inter- dicted by his Excellency, and of course were not de- Tivered, but no official order in ever published, warning the peoplaphat these journals will not be admitted, and upon application at the post office all ‘the satisfaction received is that the Captain-General had sent an Aid-de-camp to say that the newspapers ‘are not to be delivered, and so it 1s we are keptin uch a state of uncertainty, because to-morrow, perhaps, his Excellency may change his mind, aad order them to be delivered, and then, of course, we should regret having given orders to our friends to stop our subscription for such and such newa- papers, because they are not admitted here. Assoon as the mails are delivered at this post office, the letters are taken into a private room, where ‘two of the post office clerks are employed in cutting them open with a sharp instrument; aod, upon in- ing why the letters were subjected to this muti- |, We were informed ‘eo , was done ia the of detecting an; of newspapers insert~ Ba between the folds of # Tettors.

With all sail set to a flue breeze on the quarter, under all the steam that her abortive boilers could generate, viz:—18 Ibs. instead of 30 Ibs. a8 caleulated—in a sea that would not have moist’ ened the corns of the three wise men of Gotham, as they sat in their bowl, s!x knots, and that shot, was her greatest speed. Is this the vessel to compete with thore of England and France? Imagine a chase after some piscatory poacher, where would the broad peuant of Com. Shnbrick be when the flag: ships of Evgland and France were neck and neck ? Dim in the distance, and growing beautifully leas, as the model steamer toiled and crept along. Is this the y “Young America” goes ahead? _ Is this hybrida men of American war steamer-? Where are \Vebb, ‘Kay, ete.’ Let them send some of their clippers to rhow Jobo Bull ard Johny Crapeau that the Ameii- ean people can build ships, and let one of the Collings steamers go along to tow this sea sloth over the fisb- ing grounds. But this last mortification may be avoid- ed, if, as it is reported, the Fulton accompany her to take care of this tender suckling. Halt of ‘he heat intended for getting up steam escapes up the smoke | pipe and sets tire to the ship, as was the case the first jay out. I should like to Know if the goverament bas a right to order officers to a ship so dangerous as this one, in which [ am menaced with loss of life | and limb by fire, water, aud war, and the life insu- rance company threatened with pecuniary detriment. J think wy objections would be valid in any court in the couotry. I should like to see the persons who recommended the use of these boilets held up to tue public scorn. i Asasteamer, with her present boilers, she isa | perfect failure and national disgrace. Our Palladelpnia Correspondence. Puriavevpura, Jaly 19, 1853. | Politics in Pennsylvania—The Appointments by the President—Discontent and Agitation. | Weare preparing in this State for a heavy canvass this fall. It is going to be a dull one, because neither members of Congress nor a Governor are to be | elected, and it is for this reason that time and oppor- tunity are afforded for 4 total revolution of parties in | the State. | The “guerillas,” as they are called, are hourly | increasing in strength and numbers, and, though | without a press to speak their sentiments, are making | themselves felt ia the organization of the democratic party. The “ young democracy” of the Tuird and Fourth districts have had a Fourth of July celebra- tion all their own way, the proceedings of which were published in the Ledger of Wednesday last, because the Pennsylvanian shrewdly declined that honor. As to the democratic city and county nominations it is pretty generally believed that they will be de- feated by a large majority. This is, in part, owing to the unpopular app ments of General Pierce, partly to the strong opposition between the Irish and Germans, in which Catholicism and Protestant enter fur a considerable share of discord, and pa to the Maine temperance law, attempted to | forced by Collector Charles Brown, better kao 4 | here as the ‘‘ Custom House Potent The or- | mans havc val aversion to hypocrisy anil fa naticism, whether in religion, politics, or strong | drinks, and the conspicuous manner in which Charles Brown acted the temperance apostle on board the boat which brought General Pierce to town, has rea- dered him obnoxious to the censure of a large ma- jority of all classes, and of all political and religious persuasions, in this goodly city. Nor must you suppose that the German Catholics | side with the Irish Catholics, As Sam Veller used to say, ‘So far from it, on the contrary, quite the reverse.” It is precisely the German Catholics who | are most opposed to the extension of the ecclesias- tical power of the priests, and to their assuming the control over public schools. They are as opposed to religious and political Jesuitism as Martin Luther him+eif was to the Dominican friars who wanted to | roast him, and will show their aversion in the only wT they can, at the ballot box. | Yhat appears most strange in this temperance | movement of Charles Brown, is the fact that he has appointed so many tavern keepers to posts of honor in the Custom House, and that the democratic city and county ticket 1s copiously sprinkled in the same manner. This gives rise to another war of lager bier a; st whiskey, the Germans stoutly contend- ing , a8 Gumbrinus, the first brewer, was aking, and the greatest briwer of Eorope is still the King | of Bavaria, drinking, »° lager bier is royal sport, aud | the best check on iuieuperance. “It is impossible,” they say, ‘‘to make men drunk on lager; the stomach will not contain the quantity necessary to | affect the head; while whi-key possesses the power of concentration, a single pint of it being sufficient | to seta whole family crazy.” “Temperance laws, they add, “are very good for habitue! drunkards am | gutter-men, but ihe votaries of Gambrinus quaff their quart when they are thirsty, and go home sober, ful | ly sensible of the duties they owe to their wives.” | And then they point to the fact that they are habitually eober on small beer and light wines, and that the irae authors of ajl mischief are the brandy, | whiskey and rumsellers. | pes be grievance of our German fellow-citizens consista in the fact, that while Judge Campbell has been selected to represent the Irish Catholics in the Cabinet, Mr. Ashmead, the Native Ame trict Attcrney under General Taylor, is still retained in office, though there are twenty good democrats | quite as able to fill the place; and the editor of th | Native Ameriean paper—the Philadelphia Sun- also retained in the Custom House, it is supposed, by especial instruction from Washington. The (er- in Dia mans have no idea of being this sandwiched between | the natives and the “Iyishers.” | Further, the Germans do not like a bit the ap- pointment of the Anstrian Consul Geueral, the agent of the Rothschilds, to an American charge- ship. That appointment is a box on the ear to every liberal German here and in Europe, and ao abandon- | ment, they say, of the proud position assumed by | Mr. Webster in his famous fHulseimann letter. The Germans vow they will canse themselves to be re- spected. Nots verrons. ® Micurt. Our Dlmots Correspondence. Henry, Marshal Co., Ill., July 3, 1853. The State of Illinois—Her Population, Productions, | Hogs and Shinplasters— More People Required. Did you ever see Henry, Ill.? If not, just step this way. Henry is located on a high eminence, one hundred | or one hundred and fifty feet above the river, and a more beautiful site for a large town is not to be found either on this river or any other. Five years ago a | few people lived here, and there was about as many | buildings. Now, there isa population of twelve to fifteen bundred souls, and a large number of fine brick and frame dwellings and etores—it reminds me of the magic cities that have arisen to greatness in the land of gold. Five years ago twenty dollars would buy a fine lot, now five hundred dollars would be refused. are fifteen stores and groceries, two carriage and wagon maker's shops, two tiu ware stores, three or four furuiture stores a large painting establishment, two boot and shoe manufactories, ove printing offive, two commission houses one wharf boat, a French barber, two churches, two large male aud female schools, a sabie harmonist banjo company, “ hard to beat,” and many other things too numerous to name here. Immediately back of Henry there is a nine orten square mile prairie—a checker-buard, as it were—dotted over with teeming fielda of splendid Wheat, corn, oats and potatoes, rye and_ barley. For beauty, richness, and production, I would put this land against any spot of saine size in this great and glorious Union. One hundred bushels of corn will be raised to the acre on parts of this, not only rich, but beautifal land, not a low spot to be found. " In many places the har vest is going on. Illinois will tarn uut a handsome erop this year, and as to corn, the late rains have giv- en the crop a Jook of health and a mighty yield. Illinois can furnish one half of creation for two ee oor home consumption, throwing in from three to five hundred thousand hogs next winter. - Your farmer's may toil on your worn out old States’ soil and then scarcely make a living. Letthem come to Iinois, or all who intend emigrating, in time, while lands can be bed at fair rates, as land is bound to enhance and become valuahle. It is now from five to for’y dollars per acre. The advance jo produce, the emigrator’s consumption, aud demand abroad, must advance and keep lands np. Let those having opportunity and means, come on, Slinvis is their ground. You may talk of Minnesote, Texas, California, and other lands of promise, bot! defy competition with Illinois lands, and especially tn Marshal connty. Mlinois farmers are all independent. No poor men amongst them. I saw them all poor in 1331, long here | before the quality of the soil was tested. Onr young but gigantic State now shows for herself. [ tell you again, as to wealth and greatness, that in less t teu years Illinois wilt hnve no equal in this Union, and our land and industry is doing itall. ar shin plaster currency is the worst feature—a cnrse to the and, stigma on our hi-tory,a rotten system of | banking, ahumbog on our people. It is distraction to look on those bills. Yes, worse than the plague of Florence—corse on them and their issuers, the public robbers of honest industry. Let our government give her people a sound bank- ing em—money that will pass current throughout the globe. Farmers, this business is ail in your own bands You raise and produce, and ‘ a alone that should be mort benefitted by your industry and labor. And now, Mr. Editor, what do you think of all this’ We want the soil cultivated, and by a large emigration it can be done, and fortunes placed in their bands. Tis useless to add, Illinois is and will be the creat State at last, and can now surpass any in the Union in many of her prod ms. For proof of this, I refer you tp the Wurld’s Fair, now in ages city. Murders in Albany. From the Albany Express July 15) There has not been an execution in the city of Albany, for murder committed within the corportion limits, since 1819—thirty-four years! In October of thot jeer Hamilton was hung in the holiow beyond tle Scbuyler place, in the lower part of the oity, and on the site of the spot where Strang afterwards suf- fered for the murder of ee. Hamilton was a private ina rife corps, and Major Birdsall. of the rifle service, was bis commanding officer. The can- torment was in the north part of the city—extendiug Leyond Lumber street, and covering all that portion ot the city now occupied by the upper canal basins, lumler yards, &c. No streets were then opened north of Lumber street. The place was call “peeture,” and was a sort of “Common.” Hamilton bed been punished for intoxication, and the sting of his chastivement; coupled with a difficulty he had with Major Birdsall on account of a mulatto servant, induced bim to marder that officer, One Sunday evening, when the drums were beating for parade, he entered the Major’s marquée, and bringing, his rifle to a present, announced his presence. sall ordered him to his quarters. Instead of obeying he levelled his rifle at the Major and deliberately shot him throngh the heart. The murder created a prodigious excitement thronghout the city. Hamilton attempted to commit suicide by swallowing laudanum, but be took only enough to stupefy himself. He wasa man of high spirit, and entertained a keen sense of honor. Rum was his ruin. He was full six feet high and aplen- idly proportioned. When he was led out for execu- tion he refused to ride, but walked behind the troops with a firm step and indomitable courage. Asan illus- tration of the reign of the * ruling passion” to the last, le twice caused the music to stop playing because it was out of time—stamping with his foot, and dis- playing much impatience at the musicians’ blunders. He was neatly dressed in white, and wore black silk gloves. He shrank not at the gallows, but met his ignominious death courageously. His conduct throughout excited in his behalf much sympathy. Major Birdsall was a native of Watervliet, and much esteemed. His residence was on the corner of Broad- way and Wilson street, Two or three years prior to this, a man named Burns was executed for a murder committed on Ar- bor Hill. There are the only executions that have taken place in this eity for murder committted with- in ita limits within a third of a century past. Some ten or twelve years ago, a poor, dranken tai- lor, crazed with delirium tremens, cut his wife's threat, committing a most shocking murder. The tragedy occurred in Beaver street. ‘The miserable wretch termifiated his own life with the razor afew hours after his arrest. Young Shephard was killed by Rector in a fit of passion, and the jury found hin guilty of manslaughter. Some six or seven years agoa negro killed another, in Canal street, with a cartetake. This was the result of a brawl, and not deliberate. Still he was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung. His sentence was commuted by gover alterwards p to life imprisonment, but he was doned, and exchanged his cell for his ce Din--he dying very soon after his liberation. Lesides these instances, there have been two or three murders committed in drunken affrays within the last few years, butno such cold blooded trage- dies as those in which Strang, Leddings, Dunbar, | and Hendrickson were the actors. Can any other city of the size of Albany say so mush? Hamilton shot Birdsall on ‘the very northern limits of the city, and within a few paces of Waterviiet. Rtrang shot Whipple in Bethlehem, "near but not in the city. The Durbar tragedy—one of the most Heer to be found in the annals of crime—also occurred in Bethlehem, in the midst of a quiet, peacefnl and beantiful rural district, Leddings riled his wife in New Scotland, or Guilderland. The jast murder, and in some respects the most extraor- dtnary and terrible of them all, for which Headrick- son is now under sentence of death, was also com- mitted in Bethlehem, several hours ride from the charming and pastoral portions or this county, and in the heart of as wealthy and respectable a neigh- borhood as Albeny boasts ot, From this record it will be seen that Albany county is a3 strangely and sadly noted for murders of the most revolting and mysterious character a3 the city is remarkably exempt trom crimes of that character. ‘ ‘Lie popelation of this city is greater than that of the rest of the county. In the whole range of petty crimes it excela the county towns in trequency; ia capital offences of the gravest character the county saa have infinitely more to answer for than tue city.

This, too, was enacted in one of the most | Mible Accident at Niagara [Frew the Boilaio Advertiser, Juiy 19 Jt The most intense excitement was created at Niaz- ara this morning by the Swe) intelli ee that a men was in the midst of the rapids, withla a few fee: of the Falls, clinging for life to a frail stump, against which in bis perilous descent of the rapids he had been thrown. As soon as the terrible news known hundreds of persons hurried to the spot, and the report was found tobe too true. Upon inguiry it was ascertained that the poor fellow was one of three men belonging to a scow used for taking sand down the river, who had got into a small boat attached to the scow about 9 o'clock last evening, and having by some Meens become separated thereirom, were hur- vied down the rapids. The boat was of course speedi. ly swamped, and the men cast into the water, two of them being at once curried over the Falla to their dreadful fate, and the other by chance striking aud clinging to a stump about midway between the Falls and Goat Island bridge. At daylight this morning this poor fellow was dis- covered in his perilous situation, ard it was speedily found that bis rescue was almost impossible, since no boat that could be procured would float a moment in the rapids without being swamped and overturied. A despatch was iramediately sent to this city for a lifeheat, and one was sent by express over tie rail- roed without delay. In the mean time. a box con taining refreshment was attempted to be floated to the poor fellow, who had clung with desperation to his trail support, in the midst of the dizzying, whirl- ing rapids, and within hearing of the'roav of the catazact over which at any moment he might be burled, fer apwards oftwenty-four hours. What was the result of the attempt we are not informed. During the morning we have received several tele- ~praphic despatches at intervals from the Fulls, de- tailing the sbove particulurs, for which we are in- debted to Mr. Whiting, of Kissock’s Canada Junction Lin The excitement is described as painfally ia- d and the bridge are covered with an anxious n ide, asvait- ing the result of the terrible affair. It must bea fear- ful sight thos to watch a fellow-being in a sitnation of such mortal peril, without the power of extending assistance to him.

A Gana or Counterrrivers Arrestep.—Since the arrest of Maxey our vigilaut police Lave been on the lookout for his confederates. They trucked them from Worcester to Lynn, Salem, Spectacle [sland -- where they were yesterday forenoon— and yes: afternocn v»bbed five of them in East Camb: Deputy Chief Eaton, with officers Savae, Sleeper, W. K. Jones, and Whitcomb, made the arrest. Their names are Charles Pomroy, aged 28; Lorenzo Monl- ton, $2; Charles Verback, 23; and Leland A. Wil- kineon, 20; all hailing frem Canada, and Edward Hartwet!, 29, of Vermont. Some of them were canglit in the Lechmere House, some in Reed’s Ho- tel, and one or two even ina carriage in the street. ‘The artests were made in a most scientific manner, and there being no time left for resistance, not the least wos made. They were safely brought to this city and lodged in juil. No money was foand on their persons, but the efficient Deputy Chief dug a canister containing $1,440 in bills on the Casco Bank, ef Portland, out of their hiding place. The bills are all fives and are well executed, the engraving having, however, a rather rongh appearance. They purport to have been signed by Eliphvlet Greely, President, and John Chute, Cashier, end bear the various dates of April 1, May land 2,and June 1, 1853. The vignette isa ship, and on the lower margin of the bill is the word “Five” in red letters. They are all marked letter B. Sherman Nichols, another of the gaog, was arrested in Lowell yesterday morning, for attemmptiag to pass @ five dollar counterfeit bill oa the Casco Bank at Putnam’s clothing store, Central street, in payment for a vest. He was searched, and in various pockets were found bills of the same stamp to the amount of $210. He had also oue counterfeit five dollar bill on the Southbridge Bank, and one three dollar bill on the Wells River (Bethel, Vt.) Bank. The Lowell Courier hears of but one sufferer in that city by his operations. Henry Faulkner was arrested in New York cn Sunday night, also for passing five dollar sg i bills on the Ca:co Bank.—Boston Atlas, nly 19. Arram or Honor in New Orveans—For the following particulars relative te an affair of oonor which came offearly yesterday morning, we are in- debted to Monde, the obliging Lieutenant of Police in the Second district :—In consequence of difficulty between Robert Severin und Armand Lareusse, it was errapged that the parties should meet next morning at four o'clock, on the Metairie road. They met—the weapons pistols, and the distance fifteen pac It was arranged, also, that the parties were to tire simultaneously, and ata given signal. Both fired as closely as possible, Severin essaning alto- gether, and bis bullet taking effect so far as to inflict a slight wonnd a little above, and some three inches belund, the temple of Larsnsse. The wounded man demanded 4 second shot, but the secoud, who saw Larsuste bleeding pretty freely, and thought him dangerously burt. insisted that the matter shouldend there, and so helped Larsusse tu the cab in which he cwme to the ground. The seconds were—for Se- verin, Bayou and Armant Duberald; and for Lareuste, Dufour Petit and BlancJoubert. The par- ties are all in arrest, except Larsasse. who was to be taken in custody last evening. ‘ew Orleans Deita, July 13, Inquest ON THE Last Victim or THE GAvazzt Riers —An antes was held at Montreal on the 16th inet., on the body of Michael Donnelly, who died from injuries received at the Gavazzi riots. The jurors could not unite upon one verdict, and therefore brought in two, one of which had eleven signatures and the other eight. The following are the verdicts :— We the undersigned jurors, are of opinion that the Geceared, Mr. Michael Donuelly, exme to bis death by a wound eaured by a pistol hot, ficed by a person uw known, being one of a number of persons coming oat of Zion Church on the evening of the 9th June.

(Sigued by e’ght jurors ) Encounter witn A Bear.—On Wednesiay, the 26th of May, Captain Andrew Sublette, of Ios An- gelos, while on a hunting excursion on the sea coast, was shockingly bitten and mutilated by a griz- zly bear,which he bad wounded. « He was in compa- ny with another man and a boy. They had wounded the bear, and were following on its trail, when the animal darted upon them from a thicket and gave chare. Capt. 8. was ahead, the man next, and the boy behind. The former seaing tuat the bear was fast overhauling them, and in a few more yards niust reach the boy, generously stopped and waited for his bearship to come up, intending to shoot him again, and then rn the tisk of getting away hime” By some mischance he stumbled and lost his rifle, and ere he could regain his feet the bear wus upon him. Capt. Sublette was badly bitten, and would have been killed probably on the spot had it not been for the timely interference of his dogs, who came up and engaged the bear's attention. A Srraxce Inptay.—A colored man, with a head of curly negro hair and with ail the other pe- cular marks of the African, was arrested a few days ago and taken before the Mayor, who ordered him to appear before the Hustings Court, to show cause why he was going at large without free papers. On Friday he appeared before that court, and prodaced evidence that he was an Indian, The laws of this State are so essentially different iu respect to Indians and pegroes that we state this fact as one of some importance. If this man is an Indian there are pro- bebly thousands of the same sort in Virgina, mak- ing it the duty of the Legislature te define how far the admixture of the Indian with the negro may be carried before the identity of the races is lost.— Riehmond Inqurier, June 18. Diep at per Motner’s Funerar.—A death oc- curred at the western termination of Grace street esterday afternoon,ander very peculiar and distress- ph circumetances. A large treloet had assembled for the purpose of performing the last sad ceremonies of conveying to the grave the body of Mrs. Thomas. While in the act of removing the corpse from the house to the hearse at the door, followed by its mourning friends, Mrs. Green, the wife of Andrew Green, and daughter of the deceased lady, eudd fell and expired at the moment tiie coffin was pla in the hearse. The consternation and distress occa- sioned by this afflicting event can better be imagined than described. Mrs. Green was in the prime of life, me “tg two small children. —Richmond Inquirer, ly 18. Surpwreck on Lake Erte.—The steamer Missis- sippi, on ber down train, Saturday evening, picked up -even persons in a small boat, about 20 miles off Clever They proved to be the officers and crew of the schooner Wiliam Penn, belonging to Kingston, and loaded with lumber. The schooner sprang aleak and capsized on the day previous, and the poor fel- lows bad been drifted about, with ny one to as sist them, ora monthfal of food, ever since. They were kindly provided for by the officers and passen- gersofthe Mlssisaipp!— Bu ‘alo Commercial, July 18, Tue Onto Tax Law.—The Ravenna Star rays that Judge Humphreyville, (a democratic mem- ber of the late Ohio Constitutional Convention, and at present Judge of an Ohio court,) has decided the tax law of that State, so far as it refers to banks, un- constitutional and void, on the ground that the con- stitation only authorized the Legislature to tax banks as other property is taxed, but that this law taxes them much more than other property. This.nullifies the crowbar law, so far as his d'strict is conccrued. Ratiread Intelsigesce. CHERAW AND DARLINGTON RAILROAD. We are gratified to be avle to announce, says the Pepting toe Flag; that the sections of the road be tween Darlingtom C.

The preparatory surveys of this road have been made to the New York State line, by the engineer corps. ‘Che Board of Directors will meet in Pitts- burg in Angust, to select the route to the New York Srate line, from among those surveyed. It is expect- ed that the entire road will be placed under contract early in September. Between Pittsburg and Kittan- ning, about six hundred mén are at work on the road. Prior to harvest eight hundred were engaged on the line, bit the demand for harvest hands drew many of them off. THE 8T. LAWRENCE AND ATLANTIC RAILWAY. Seven miles in Canada and nine in Vermont are all that remain to be completed of the St. Lawrence Railway. EXAMINATION OF THE VALLEY OF THE TETE DES MORT. The chief engincer of the Chicago, St. Charles and Mississippi Air Line road, says the Galena Jeffersonian, accompanied by several prominent citizens of Galena, devoted the “Fourth” to an ex- amination of the Vulley of the Tete des Mort, with a view to ascertain the possibility of laying down a railroad track on an easy grade from the Mississippi river westward toward the Missouri. We are happy to be able to state that this examination has resulted in the conviction that there is no plaze above the mouth of the river through which a road can be built at so small a cost as through the Tete des | Mort. The ascent to the high land westward is very gradual, being in no place over twenty-five feet to the mile; and the valley is so straight, after the first three-fourths of a mile, that an eligible air line can be laid down therein. The party went west- ward until they reached the summit of the ridze dividing the waters of the Maquoketa from the Mis- sissippi, ata point about nine miles southwest of Dubuque, from which point all accounts agree that aroad can be built to the Great Bend of the St. Peter's river at a less cost per mile than the same length of road anywhere in the west. ATLANTIC AND 8T. LAWRSENCE RAILWAY. The railroad from Portlaad to Montreal is now opened, and the first train of cars arrived at Port- land on the evening of the 18th inst. It was re- ceived by a salute of thirty-one guns and the ringing of bells. The Mayor made an address of weloome in a brief manner, and was responded to by the Hon, Mr. Pennoyer. The band played “God save the Queen” and “Hail Columbia.” “The immense crowd which surrounded and filled the depot rent the air with loud cheers for the cousummation of this groat work, MISCELLANEOUS. The injunction served upon Mr. D. F. ¢ agent of the Baltimore and Baa Company at Columbia, Pa., restraining said com- any from proceeding in the erection of their new rick depot, has beeu removed. The great iron railroad bridge across the Monon- gahela river, about one mile above Fairmount, Va., was completed last week. It is stated that it cost four hundred and ninety-six thousand dollars ! A double track is now being laid along the line of the Baltimore and Obio Railroad. Fifty miles of it are in process of construction, and will be completed within the shortest ie period, and fifty more are to be contracted for. The preliminaries have been settled for a complete adjustment of the long pending difficulties between tbe Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad on the one part, and the Northern and the Passumpsic | roads on the other part. Tnis will be pleasant news to all stockholders in these roads, and to the public ge- nerally, who are interesied in the prosperity of our railroad enterprizes. The contracts for the railroad from Wheeling to | Marietta was let on the 13th inst., making the’ fifth road into Wheeling which is now under contract. The Hamburg (S.

The het suns of July and August, and the dusty streets o the city, com) ¢l the most plethoric of our merehant to drop their magic wuud, the yard stick, anil hasten with their families to some épring for its healing virtues.

Old Point also furnishes @ brilliant landscaper! of very hot sand and baciy construeted fortification» to thore who have a weakness for fish and oysters; cooked in a way well calculated to cure the most ra- venous ofall tastes for such Inxuries of the sea. . ‘The rivals for the patronage of the frequenters of watering places have increased atnazing) Fahad late. years. Almost every county in which ia 2 mountain or good vized hill, sends forth a flaming) announcement of m‘neral springs, with more cura- tive powers than a college of physicians, baeked*by an apcthecary’s shop. The ocean, in places wherey there has been heretofore scarcely a ripple, has, for} the especial beuetit of spectators, broken out in breakers and excellent surf for sea bathing. Alum springs spout up ia almoat every valley ac- eessible to the public by railroads and steamboats. Indeed, a perusul of the advertising columns of the Newspapers persuades us that it is impossible for, any human beivg to sbuffle off this mortal eoil whe can visit one of the pools of Bethesda, and drink ita! waters, and pay the bills hke a gentleman. And but forthe railrouds smashing occasionally a car load o pleasure seekers, we iziagine that they would destroy’ the repntation of Muthusaleh for longevity. The unprecedented prosperity of the country will, asa matter of conre. crowd all the watering places thia summer; aud their proprietors anticipate a gold- en barvest from the ageicultural and commergial gulls, who will soon flock in. Ifthe hotels and dormitory atreigements at these platen were even respectable in their charaeter, aud, he most ordinary comiorts of life were afforded, they would be pleasantenough. But whilst the keepers of all the Jurge hotels in the principal cities, have dis cove that it is the best polisy to furnish the'rt guests with every comfort, the proprietors of water- ing places have not mude a single improvement. They evidently regard ull improvements in the Highs of dangerous innovation, and hold cleanliness 01’ diet and dormitories iu as great horror as the devil! does huly water.

Itia little short of virect swinding to charge a map twelve dollars a week, and thrast him into «. closet with two or three other unfortunates, with a meagre eupply of towels and clean water. The patronaze of the pleasure seeking should be. extended only to those watering places where de- cont provision is made fur their comfort and hap- | piness. ‘There are more valuable mineral springs in Vir- ginia than in any portion of the United States.

The reason is obvious. The shrewd Yankees understgnd the importance of, these things, which the Virginia hotel keepers ne-, glect.
