CORNER OF FULTON AND XASBAU BPS. a wed, => ci Fu errr T oe dual nm _ No, 238 — xvim = Hew York, Sunday, ‘Awgast | 28, 1 1993. ——— The News. Prom the official report of the City Inspector we Isern that five bandred and fourteen deaths occarred @iving the week ending ye-terduy, deing four bun- dazed and fifty five jees than in the previous week. On Gleacing over the lint of diseases we are exceedingly (paiified to find scarcely anything of 9 contagious s@aracter; and the probability now is that the late eemperatively cool weather, combined with proper @aerton on the part of the author'ties to cleanse and parity the thoroughfares, &c., will enable us to pass te remainder of the warm season without fear of be- img visited by an epidemic. No better ‘llastration ® required of the detrimental effects of filth and mMagvant pools of water upon health than in the fact that inffve wards—the Eleventh, Sixteenth, Seven- tenth, Eighteenth and Ninteenth- two hundred and fenty-nine persons died last week, being vearly half fe mortality of the entire city. Fifty four desths oo a@arnd from cholera infantum; consumption, fifty- ‘@me; convulsions, forty-six; diarrhoss end dysentery, ‘@irty-three each; dropsival diseases, thirty-three; ‘various Wflammations, thirty.two; marasmus, thirty- au; still-born, twenty-five; debility, nineteen; cou. gestions, eighteen; various fevers, seventeen. One @eath by yellow fever is mentioned as having oc- @arred at the New York Hospital.eThe deceased eame fron New Orleans, and is understood to have asrived here on the 17th instant. The difference be- Seen the infanti!e'and adult mortality is again very @emarkable. Three handred and forty-five of the Meocared were chidren under ten years of age, being jm one hundred less than in the previous week. ‘Three hurdred and seventy-seven were natives of the Ueited States; eighty-one were Lrishmen, thirty two @ermanve, and the remainder from other countries. The deaths in New Orleans for the week ending Nast Sunday amounted to 1,534, of which 1,365 were from yellow fever. The mortality produced by the fever for three weeks was 3,699. Owing to the @vorable change in the weather there has been as @Breata decrease in the number of deaths in other sities as in this. In Philadelpbia the number o! teterments last week wae about two hundred and Dwenty, and in Boston ninety-seven. We learn from Cincinnati that great excitement ‘was produced in that city, partionlarly among the @bdelition portion of the inhabitants thereof, by the Meneing of three slaves at the wharf on Friday. ‘Fhe negroes were, with their masters, on their way fem Virginia tothe South. Under the statutes of ‘hio all slaves, if brought into the State by their ewners, are free. Consequently, the blacks were Deought before Judge Flinn on a wr't of habeas con id their liberation was demanded. After a and exciting investigation, the Judge de- remand the slaves into the custocy of their mesterg, This is the second time that those who @yle themselves philanthropists have been non- Phused by the judiciary in Cin:innati within the pest two weeks. Judge Meloou, tu we orst In- stance, declared that the Fugitive Siave law was the aw of the land, and must be observed as such, and mew Jpdge Flinn has virtually pronounced, by his decision, State law of Ohio upon the subject of alavery of no eflect whatever. Acoording to the tet” advices received from Bue- ‘Bos Ayres, the current of fortane had turned upon the depose Urquiza, with an impetnosity that was deem: ble for him to stem many days longer. ns yesterday contained the apnouncement thatthe entire fleet which hid been Bieckading the city bad deserted his cause, and gone ever to the Buenos Ayreans. We now Jeara that the soldiers of, ieging army were ready and ex- pected moment. Being without foed, ebtbing ition, or the means wherewith to Purchase the, they were gradually deserting die standard. Indeed, it was believed that Urquiza himself would gladly ran away, were he not prevented by his own men. In ad- @ition, it was reported that he would soon be @ompletely hemmed in by the army of Genera! Pores, which was marching upon him from the Rorth; and, what was worse than ail, troubles Rever come singly, his own province had declared e@gainst him, and installed @ new chief. The proa- pect of the Buenos Ayreans is apparently brighten ing at last; but will they profit by past experience, and select competent and honest men to rale over ‘them, or will they, as they did in the case of Urqniza, after ridding themselves of Rosas, merely cal! upon another beartless tyrant to crush them to the earth? We have received files of Barbadoes journals of two days later date. They do not conta apy news ‘of interest or importance, further taan what has al- Fea@y appeared inthe Heraup., The West Indian f July 23, speaking of the weether, says :—‘The weather for the last fortnight, turoughont the Selands, has deca, aa with us, sultry and changeable, with rain and equalls of wind, which have occe- sioned the upsetting of a sloop with fifteen hogs heads of sugar, off the entranee of the Careensge, Granada, and of a boat between the emall islands on the coast, the crew of which escaped by swimming o the shore; and of another at Tobago, by which the life of one man was lost.’ At St. Vincent, tue Governor had recommended % the notice of the Legislature a petition from the membre of the Wes- Jeyan church, for an increased grant in aid of their @ission. Papers from Georgetown, Demarara, Gated down ‘fo the 6th of August, have reached us. Coolie and Chinese immigration, colonial taxation, and a tittle mailway equebble, engaged the attention of the Lo- Bislature. The weather was very fine, end the corn erp nxnriant, Fifty-eight boss honse painters met in the Broad- way Honse last night, and after a sharp debate Woved—by a resolution which was entered as unani- sous—ier the low rate of wages, and not to give $2 per day, as demanded by the journeymen now om strike. A committee from the workingmes sent in a paper, as if seeking a conference; but the debete mpon the propriety of admitting them or not, ocen- pied mach o ling time that they withdrew it before ‘apy reply was given, end retired. The employers teem determined not to give way; #0 things remain exactly where they were. We give a fall report, ‘with s list of names showing how the bosses voted whether for the preeent wages, or $2 and $1 75a day Our columus to-day contain some further parti- gulars concerning the deetraction of the steamshio @herokee; extraordinary statement relative to the gemarkable adventures of a colored citizen of Phia- Kedelphia; together with « varicty of political, reti- gious, local, and other intelligence, to which want of room wil) not permit us to re‘er in detail, Baty at tHE Orry or Herr.—We learn, by one of the Boston papers that they have doing up a “hop” at the city of Hull, Massa- ehusetts, “As goes Hull so goes the Union? and we presume that all the other large cities ‘wil! give “bops” immediately.

As a natu- rally preeursive sign thereof. the qhurehes which had been shut up during the absence of their ministers an: of the greater portion of their congregations ave commeneed to open their vent of the old familiar faces. Last Sabbath » itnessed several of these re- unions of pastor and flocks, This and the next few Sabbaths wi witness still many more. Bot it must {by any means, be supposed that the clergym no who left the city during the warm months, n search of health and re- creation, were uumindfal during their absence of their misaion. Many, perhaps most of them, oveupied the pulpits of the country towne in which they had been staying, and there dis- trituted the bread of Ife to thoae who were an hungered. Others, sojourning in rural places where there wae no village, and no church, were fain to convert into taheraaeles the par- lors of the hotels, and there to preach the saving gospel of Obrist. Thue have the clergymen absent from the city during the summer mosths discharged the daties of their ministry faithfuity and usefally. They are now, however, gradually resuming the more regular course of their labors amoag their own immediate congregations, and in their own churches. And what a theme for their initiatory sermon has been presented to them in the fearful plague with which, during that short interval, one of our siater cities has been scourged! Doubtless, the subject is one which will be feelingly and eloquently treated |.of by many of the clergymen who re-oocupy their pulpits to-day. And we surmise that most, if not all of them, in returning thanks to Heaven for our happy exemption from the pestilence, and for the teeming har- veria with which we have been bleseed, will ayail themselves of the opportunity of exhorting their auditors to contribute of their means to the relief of the unfortunates of New Orleans, and have collections made in their several cburehes towards that benevolent object. This re-opening of the churches will draw together more than ordinarily large eongrega- tions, to welcome back their ministers and to listen to their congratulatory sermons. We are satisfied that our immense population will be well represented to-day in the temples of the Almighty; and, convinced of that fact, we deem it unnecessary to have the various inte- resting sermons reported in our columns. We trust, however, that, in lieu thereof we will have to chronicle a large amount of coatribu- tions collected for the benefit of the suffering citizens of New Orleans. Ayn Apventcrous Cotorep GenTLEMan— Romance ww Darxey Reat Lire—Some week or two since we were honored by the receipt of a communication, forwarded to us under date of‘ Carthagena State Prison. Jane 25.1853,” and over the signature of William G. Hance. This communication we published at the time. The writer affected to have once made the ac- quaintance of the editor of the Heraxp while boarding at the Franklin Hotel, New York, and emnnased that he had tharefara sama sliek+ claim towards our sympathy. Butit appeared that since those halcyon days, this colored child had been @ child of chequered fortune. One portion of that interval of time which had elapsed since the era to which he referred, had been spent by him—according to his account— in the honorable service of his native country, on beard the U.S. man-of-war Columbus, seven- ty-four, then craising in the East Indies, under the broad pennant of Commodore Biddle. Sub sequently he had established a hotel in Pana- ma, which he had designated the New York Hotel, and had there ministered to the physical wants of his patrons, and in his great interest for travellers bad relieved many of them of a considerable quantity of the root of all evil. Next we find him, ac- cording to his own statement, the proprietor of caravans of mules crossing the isthmus from Panama to Cruces,in which occupation he found many oportunities, no doubt, of prac- tising hie philanthropy, by relieving travel- lers of super-abundant quantities of luggage. Then he had the misfortune of giving mor- tal offence to the benighted natives, igno- rant er regardless of his virtnous principles; and by them he is, falsely of course, accused of murdering one of their countrymen, his compa- nion in a shooting excursion, and the afianced of his ’a sister. Elis protestations of inno- cence were of no avail to him in the presence of the prejudiced tribunals of the land; bnt unfor- tunately there were no witnesses to testify to his having actually commitied the homicide. Still he was detained in prison, much to his dis- satisfaction and chagrin at being thus deberred | from gratifying those instinctive tastes which we have before ascribed to him. Chading at his confinement, end eognizdat of that great poeti- cal truth that the bondsman who would be free muet himself strike the blow, he effected his escape, although at the sacrifice of one or two of his guarde; but on his arriving at Sao Fran- cisco the confoundedly obdurate members of the vigilance committee refused te receive him 8 & man and a brother, and actually delivered him up into the power of the New Granedian authorities. Not eatieled with their former persecution of fhis miserable martyr, they had him tried for this accident to the keeper. when he was found guilty, and sentenced to ten abor at the mince. Such is the outline of that romantic history, edited by Wm: G. Hance himself, and which autobiography we spread before our sympa thetic readers a short time since, in the hope « having bis case taken into consideration by the Secretary of State. and his relenae demawded Bat to every great and tratbful picture there thust be o considerable amount of shading. Wm. G. Banee, probably from the natural predilee- tion of his race forthe brightest coloring, dealt exclusively Im thet line, and did not adm® a sivgle tint which might detract from or reflect 0 abadow upon the epoticse purity of bis charac- ter, He represented limeelfaea man of high thoughts and noble actions, whore very virtnes had been made the means of crushing hima, Not unlike some of the carly Christian martyrs, the heathen among whom he dwelt re oogpized not hisholy and benevolent tnission, but conspired againet him, concocted charges wherewith to accuse him, and finally cast him into prison from whenee, as if by a miracle, he escapad while a deep sleep bad fallen upon bis guards But the Olive Branch, a religions paper, print- ed in Boeton, the name of which is significant of peace and good will, and edited, moreover by a reverend divine, assisted by a literary lady, and another gentleman collaboroteur hae supplied the comphement to the picture eoressid. which William G. Hance had left 2 a ee =nageeerente-nst tapes ergs epee SS geese si gp gf A Na a a a incomplete. And it d forcible, and artistic. duced to republish ‘the entire artlele, for the edification of our readers. There is no great diserepancy between the autobiography of this eminent colored gentle man, and these remin! of him which the writer in the Olive Branch relates, except that somehow or other the same virtaous and honorable course of life which the «abject him- aelf depicts in a bale of light, is painted, by his historian, in the darkest and gloomiest colors. But then we recolleet the reverend characters who' preside over the columns of the Olire Franch, and we receive their testimony with the considerable credence, particularly since it is volunteered by them against one of the Uncle Tom fraternity, with whom Boston sympathies are so much in unison, In the Franklin Hotel he occupied the eminent position of waiter, while on board the Columbus, seventy-four, Commo- dore Biddle, he served his country in the capacity of cook. But we refrain from condensing this highly interesting article into an editorial paragraph, and we iberefore only refer our readers to its republication in another column. sesuring them that its peruea] must of necessity be highly edifying to them. Then read this romance of real Hfe, and let your sympathies trave! to the hero thereof, who is now enjoying New Grane dian hospitality in the State Prison of Cartha- gena. Toe Crvetat Patack —Many as are the addi- tions which have been made to the articles on exhibition in every quarter of the Crystal Pa- lace, there are large quantities of various classes still to be opened and arranged. The transept, if it may so be called, or the * machi- nery arcade,” will soon be completed, and 80 of the picture gallery; and then we shall be enabled to pronounce definitely upon the merita of the exhibition, in the aggregate and in detail. Then, we are aseured from the Pa'ace itself, that it will blossom like the rose, and before six weeks are over, will attract from fifteen to twenty thousand people per day to see its pre- cious stores.of wonderful and beautiful things. Very well; we have not the slightest objec- tion. We desire its success. The Crysts! Pa- lace has certainly, thus far, prov an advantageous institution to th at our hotels answer for that. The Wi Sports of Ne York. THE EXCITING EXHIBITION YESTERDAY. Passing down Broadway st half past nine o’clocit yes- terday morning, we observed an uausual commotion in the City Hall Park. Crowds of men and boys. laaghiag and shouting, were swaying beck snd forward, now rua ning helter- skelter from some advancing foe, snd now cloving back again ss the enemy wheeled and attacked another wing of the bystanders. “What {s the matter ?”” wan on the lips of the passers-by; and the question, whether it was or was not resqjved by those to whom it war addrerred, naturally led the questionera to swell’ the crowd within the Park palings. But what vas the mat ter? Why, nothing more than one of those hedtomadal cenes tolerated by the corporation of New Yori, for the amuremect of the good burgesses thereof. A wild cow had been jet loose in the street; and, chased by a band of pursuers, and infuriated by the rattle of the vehicles in Broadway, ebe bad sought s refuge and protestion in the cireular plot of ground beunded on the north by the Sa- perior, Supreme, and Circuit Courts of the United States | fm tha nmnth te she Olby E- peepew, ried he the Court of Common Pleas and the cham! of the Alder. men and Assistant Aldermen, &.: on the northwest by the office of the Chief of Police, and on the east by a cor. tain circular edifice, which is anything but an ornament or ferhionable appendage to that portion of the Park. ‘There stood the wild cow, tossing her horns, seowling at her persecntors, tearing np the shrabs, and giving the spectators generally to urderstand thet “A cow at bay ’s a dangerous foe." ‘There she stood or rather stalked up and down, as if in deGance of the motley crowd, roaring, laughing and yelling around the inclosure. A few of the hardier sort of young men, desirous of distiognishing themselves. would cecssiznally approach within what her cowship seemed to imegine @ dierespectfol proximity, and pre:to down wonld go her head, up would go her tail, and the ebarge she made would soon send the iutruders to 8 rafer distance. Still the crowd was enlarged by constant accessions, until there was at length assembied a mace of spectators, with whose number, st all events, Monv. Jullien would be perfectly entisted at one of his monster concerta. All this time the cow stood alone in the centre of the plot we heve described, sometime: amusing herself tearing up the shrubs, and sometimes by sham charges at hertormecters at which thay would seamper off, vo ciferating avd enjoying the seoueimmensely, Aod mavy of the more vercant eort of bystanders, who were not aware that this was e weekly diversion afforded to eur citizens by their censiderate corporation, exchangod sen timents and epeculations a8 to the havoe sho would commit if ehe beteok herself, in her disorderly eondi- tion. te the crowded thoroughfare, and wondered why nome attempt was not made to prevent her from dolog Buvchief, Some even went sofaras to express their o#- tonishment as to why the protectors of the public porer Oid vot present them-elros armed with the deadly rifle or the Mexienn !asso, to put an end to this state of excice ment, and to bring this infuriated animal to o sense of her situation, But these persons must have been ehook- ingly ignorant of our habits and customs, as exempiifed in those wild sports of New York. What is the use of having wild cattle drivem through the streets if the cill- wens cannot emjey the exhibition of their freaks withoct the interference of poliee? For the honor of the corps ‘we ean testify that not one of thom was so unmiedful of bis position ar to give the slightest mclestation to heg towship. At length rhe tires of cham charges; « sudden, uneo- countable freak seizes her, and whoop! sabe bouns serons the cheins, and fn an instant is upon @ portion of the terrified, rosring, scampering erowd.
