The Whole Province of Gnan-Hway in the Hands of Thae-Ping-Wang. © L onon Tue AMERICAN FLAG, &, ke. Our Shanghae Correspondence. Saavoman, Caixa, March 14, 1854. Progress of Hostilities at Shanghae—Little Likelihood of Qeir Speedy Termination—Samqua Providing for his Boentual Flight—Important successes of the Rebel Chief Mhe City of Loo-Chow lost to the Imperialisis—An Ame- rican Amongst the Triads—Chinese Warfare. Nothing positive has taken place between the besiegers ‘or besieged at this city since my last. The large addi- tional force received by the Taoutae Samqua (imperial) have not yet been induced to make battle, for the sim- pple reason that Samqua’s exchequer, like his imperial waster’s, is too low to afford just now a few thousand carolus dollars, and imperial soldiers rately fight without the money first. On the 8th inst. the imperialists made an attack upon tome houses, which were outside but under the walls, from which the Triads had been in the habit of exohang- ing salutes across the river; they were soon taken and barnt. In this skirmish some ten or twelve were killed, and the prisoners taken by the Triads were burnt alive. ‘The day following o sally was made from the little east gate upon the encampment of the imperialists, but not much damage was incurred by either party. Thus they have been going on for months, ‘The Triads are in comfortable quarters within the city, plomty of chow chow and money, and will therefore make no imprudent effort beyond the walls. The imperialists Area wiserable, cowardly, badly armed set, not one in ‘ten having even a match lock musket, while the Triads in the city are well armed, and most of them have fought &. * gil their lives for their chow chow in the ranks of pi- gates. These men have no home to go to if they were riven out of the city, and if it were taken they know full well that Samqua would murder every man, woman and child. Therefore, although Samqua’s forces are triple the number of the Triads, none expect him to taxe the city, for it would require more valor and courage than das over yet been shown by imperial soldiers. This will, therefore, remain for some timo pretty Much as it is now. Samqus, to preserve the heads of his gons, who are held at as hostages for his good be- havior, will keep up a show of resistance until he hears of the fall of that great capital, and then he will take him- self off to some of the islands, where he has sent a large amount of money to console himself with, and administer ‘to his wants during his banishment. This provision shows what he must think of the probable result of this Febellion, and it amacks much of Yankee foresight, or of @ “look before you leap.”” He was originally a Hong merchant, and, as is the custom in China—aot being @ literery man or an agriculturist—he was excluded from official distinction. jut the English war was eusha @rain upon the imperial exchequer, that Samqua, for the sum of $100,000, received a peacock festher with the fsoutaeship (governorship) of this city, as also the Supreme Judgeship of this province. Now he has pre- » sented the government with about $40,000 more, ana has Feoeived in return two or three more honorary reed. ‘Thus even the Chinese shange their customs when forced by Deoesalty, by granting to the rich alone, in time of ‘war, what they could never obtain in time of agers To maintain their power over the miserable rabble, they re- ae 3 iaciatepholinnd peat A ‘China as ,”? and they never fail to report the most ‘Bal defeat as a most triumphant success. af Below is av extra of the latest news from the North Herald of the 11th of March, which goes to show that the army of Thac-ping-wang is still advancing, and ave not met with a single obstacle worthy of notice:— “We have just received a file of the Peking Gasetteup tothe 30th of January, proving, as we suspected, that the of Shing-paou, regardi: taking of on the 14th of January, and t uent a@arch of his victorious army to meet the southern body rebels, op Set aoe the bed sa eee there a in whiak, accemting to five hundred of the rebels were inka! of the in question for three months, without Shing-paou been able to disturb them in the slightest toxree, ithetanding his blustering about repeated victories, that therefore Tsang-kib-lin-sin be ordered to advance, and join his forces to those of Shing-paou, to make one attack upon tho rebels’ position. ’ The Emperor ‘that if holds back and does not exert Bimself, = aang et hes ee mee in advance, thus throwing the responsibility off himsel the last named officer, he will chop off his head ceremony. “The Gasette also contains important news from Gnan- hway, in which provivce the city of Loo-chow was taken on the 14th of january, and the Lieutenant-Governor, chung was slain in its defence.

Many stories are told by missionsries of scenes which occurred at the taking of the city, and after, which show bow ridiculous their warfare is. Inthe streets, which are rarely over six feet wide, it was common to see China- men run out of their houses, with shicids upon their ‘arms and spears in their hands, and challe their neighbors to come out and fight them, brandishing all the time ferociously their spears and beating upon their shields, a “rag more of the sham fights of sehool boys at home of anything else. 086 who have guns a know how to loadthem. When oe use a ball, which is seldom, they chip it off until it will go down into the gun, without rammer, and the con- sequence is that, if the gun is not held up, the ball will run out. Under these vumatances, one dey, in the city, a Chinaman with a spear and shfeld gave chase to another who had a gun; the latter commenced running Found 9 tomb in the shape of a mound, which are com- mon all over China, ‘at last finding himself too closely urswed by his an’ it, he ran up on the mound and Bimea his musket down, the ball ran out, and then the gun went off, whereupon cach ran away to attend to some other “pigeon” (hssloens), which seemed of more im- 08. ¥ These encounters are common, and hence how ridicu- Jous this whole war is, in and about Shanghae. In fair and open contest: , bat when one party succeeds ‘over another among these Triads or Imperialists, the shocking cruetties and barbarities enacted are unparallel- ed. Even the poor Chinese themselves will hall the Bret appearance of Thae-pin, g here asa deliverer.

Summary of the Late Movements and Successes of the Rebel Army—Military Tact and Intelligence of Impervalisis—The Feeling in Canton and other Cities not yet in Insurrection—The Treaty between Russia and Ja- pan Doubtful. our regular advices of markets, and now offer you what little information we can glean respecting the important political movement in the interior end in the north of China, Our previous advices acqui inted you with the capture | of Nankin by Thae-ping-wang, and subsequently with the Progress of his army towards Peking. Shortly after the capture of Nankin,you are aware that the city of Shanghae was taken by a force that is not distinctly known to be re- cognized by Thae: ping-wang as auxiliary to his own move- ment. Shangbse is still held by its original captors, and the prospect of its recapture lessens with the decreasin means and epirit of the Imperial officers in its vicinity We are sorry to say that the long struggle has utterly destroyed the trade of the place; as the shops within the walls have been long closed, even for the moat trifling business, and the populous suburbs have been burned in successive assaults on the city. But the foreign busi- ness there is chiefly from its being the port of Loo-chow aad Havg-chow, and we would guard you from supposing that the destruction of the city of Shanghae is of very greut importance to foreign interests, We have already adverted to the great difficulty there is of procuring information from the interior, or of Judging of its credibility when obtained. By all the infor- mation we bave in our own possession, we are led to the opinion that the army of Thae. ping-wang has been contin- ually successful; and we candidly say that we are not a little surpriced at the tact and Intelligence which this leader has shown. We may be incorrectly informed, or mistaken in our inferences respecting his movements, but we believe them to be these:—After leaving 'Nankin and making it defensible, the army was largely increased in numbers, went northward, and occupied the country in the vicinity of Teéntsin, which is on the river-Peiho, at the point of jumetion with the Imperial canal. The river and the canal are the only important avenues of supply to Peking. Before the army left the vicinity of Nankin, it took, and now holds, the city and post of Chi which, being at the junction of the Imperial cana the river Yantezo, cor yuthera entrance of the caval. In ord: control of this most important avenue ‘ain, as we suppose, Thao- ing-wang has ta! its line, afew miles below ts Junction with s Voiho, and at the same time advances towards from which he was distant en the middle of Jar about fifty miles. It is stated that Peking is no! in any way prepared for a siege. Coincident wit) the movements we have deseribed, the capital city of the province of Gnan-Hwuy was taken, an is now held agaivat the Emperor. This place is in the heart of the country of most importance to forelgn com- merce. Thus it will be seen that the control of the country at the north is not in possession of the Emperor. Very lately a most important movement has taken place in the west provinces, in the places known to foreigners asthe Oonim and the Oopik di we have no precise information; but there seems little doubt but that the object is to secure the control of the transit of produce to the seaboard, and of im; on the same line—that is, to the north and west. From this quarter a large force has proceeded to those districts to assist the movement. Those in China who are well informed, believe the whole country to be disaffected, and it appears tobe pro- ble that, when the leader of the northern army has taken Peking, or at whatever point of time he may choose to at- tempt an organized government, he will have found him- self in command of every usual and regular source of revenue. Canton, and other cities not yet in insurrec- tion, can be taken without much bloodshed in a very short time, we are to suppose, if we are correctly in- formed of the nature and the extent of the secret organ- ized opposition to government within their walls. Tn Canton and at Shanghae foreigners appear to think themselves safe, in person and property, while under the protection of a small foreign force. We have not yet any information to lead us to believe in the existence of any new or important commercial arrangements between the Russians and Japanese. The force under Commodore Perry’s command left Ho Kong in January; they were heard from at Loo-Choo; an weare yet to learn of their arrival at Jeddo. Yours obediently, WETMORE & CO.

Lee, on the American Flag. {From the North China Herald, (Eaplish paper,) Shang- hae, March 11, ATTACK ON AN AMERICAN PILOTBOAT.- Monday evening about dusk, as Mr. Ayer’s pilotboat, flying the American flag, was coming up the reach, one of the Taoutae’s ves- sels, the Clown, fired a shot at her. Tho boat, in which were Mr. Linklater and six Chinese, was soon hailed round under the Compton, and the officer on board ordered the Chinese sailors up on deck and had them tied up to the -mainmast, but allowed Mr. Linklater to go away after having overbauled the boat. As soon as Mr. Ayer was informed of this proceeding, he laid his complaint before the United States Consul, who referredghim to Captain Kelly, and he, accordingly, went on board the United States storeship Plymouth, and Captain Kelly, upon hear- ing of the assault, very promptly manned s boat, which was placed under command of Licut. Guest, who pro- ceeded immediately to,the Sir Herbert Compton, and asked | for the Captain, who was not to be found: at last, a Portuguese on board the Compton, said he was in com- mand, and Mr. Guest at once demanded ‘how he dared to make prisoners of men under the American flag?” and de- manded their release. The Portuguese replied he did not do it, and that he had no authority to set them free. Whereupon Lieut. Guest ordered his men to board, which was done with the greatest alacrity, and cut the prison- ere from the mainmast, where they had been tied by the hair. It was observed, at this moment, that some men on thé poop of the vessel were levelling their muskets at the American officer and Mr. Linklater, who accompanied him. Mr. Guest very energetically levelled his revolver at the Portuguese, telling him that on the Grst shot being Grod he would blow his brains out. The Portuguese, in great alarm, immediately ordered his men to desist—the crew and boat were then taken off without further hindrance. There is no plea offered for this insult to the Ame- rican some shot on board, cote that the boat which it is in the babit of yoy for ballast. Mr. Murphy, the United Stat in correapon- dence with the Taoutae cn this subjec' laid down the doctrine, that under no pretence whatever shall pro- pad persons, while under the protection of the Uni- d Btates flag, be molested by tho Chinese authorities with impunity. But if avy claim is supposed by them to exist against or Lode under the United States flag, the compaine wast ‘be made to him, the only person The | known in the treaty to have the power of settlement. The promptitude with which the United States Consul and Captain Kelly attended to this complaint, and the energy with which Mr. Guest carried out his instructions, which were of a very delicate and difficult pature, are very praiseworthy, and we hope will check {€p insolent bearing of those in command of the ex-Taoutd@ys ships, who are frequently firing, on some frivolous pretence, upon boats passing up and down the river. Regatta of the New York Yacht Ciub. Wo have already published the result of the first day’s regatta, and announced the intelligence that another would take place yesterday. But it was decreed other- wise; for although the club were willing, they could not raise the wind, and we learn by the latest accounts that the whole fleet were becalmed opposite Staten Inland. At eleven o'clock all the yachts were at the stake boat, which was anchored near Robin’s Reef light, and a few minutes after, at the signal, they raised their anchors, and gave other evidences of their intention to start; but tho sails flapped idly against the masts, and s feoling of general disappointment pervaded the fleet as it becathe evident that there would be no regatta. The bay was as smooth as glass; there was not a breath of wind to mode- | rate the intense heat of the sun; and except the steam- | ers and row boats, everything on the water appeared to | be without life or motion. The yachts drifted three or four miles in five hours, and at four o'clock were about opposite the second landing on Staten Island. Some {bom, we believe, came to anchor there, while a few of the more persevering drifted on in the hope of a breeze springing up. It was, however, somewhat like calling Cgpirits from the vasty deep,)’ for when we last saw them, at half past four, there was hardly a ripple on the jurface of the as they had about thirty miles of a sail before nine o'clock, My is hart a ut) | stances their 9} perseverance held out #0 long.

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN—SPECIAL MESSENGERS FROM MADRID—MILITARY AND NAVAL PREPARATIONS OF SPAIN—INTERESTING FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS—NEW ANNEXATION PRO- FOBALS. Wasmisorox, June 2, 1854. Letters and despatches received here by the Spanish Minister and at the State Department, give a few in- teresting facts as to the present state of affairs at Madrid. According to one letter, two messengers had left Ma- arid; one from Mr. Soulé to Mr. Marcy, and the other from the government to Senor Cueto, the Spanish Minis- ter. The last named messenger bears important Inatruc- tions to Senor Pezuela. The tone of the despatches to Senor Cueto is warlike. The letter also atates that Louis Napoleon has pledged his word to the Spanish Minister at Paris to the effect that he will stand by Spain against the United States in the Cuba quarrel. The statement that six thousand troops are to be sent to Cuba is correct. They will leave in divisions of two thousand each. At the same time it is stated that General 0’Donnell is hiding himself in Madrid, and preparing for a military | insurrection, which is arranged to break out previous to | the departure of the troops for Cuba. The Spanish Mediterranean fleet has been ordered to Cuba. For these military and naval operations much money is needed. Government has made an unsuccess- ful call upon the bank of San Fernando. ‘The Madria authorities are in » very bad state of mind about Cuba; they fear that they will soon hear of ano- ther filibustering expedition directed against that island. ‘The English government has been questioned as to its attitude in the coming quarrel; the answers aro unsatis- factory to Spain. Other letters received here atato that Mr. Soulé has utterly failed in getting the Spanish government to listen stricts, concerning which | even to the demands made in regard to the Black War- rior affair, and that he has written to the government rts | here thatthere is no hope that any sort of redress can bo had from the Spanish government, as they di not believe that the United States are in earnest. Upon the reassembling of both houses of Congress, pro- vably by Thursday of next week, President Pierce intends to send in = message representing the critical position of our relations with Spain, and asking for an appropriation for the outfit and expense of two special commissioners to be despatched to Madrid, to assist Mr. Soulé in endea- Voring to bring about a satisfactory arrangement of all outstanding difficulties. This will be all that the Presi- dent will deem necessary to say in regard to the matter at this time. . The instructions to these Commissioners, who will pro- bably be Messrs. Ballas and Cobb, as announced in the Henarp more than a week ago, will be to demand the re- call of Pezuels, to insist upon the Captain General for the future being clothed with diplomatic powers, so as to be able to settle any disputes which may arise hereaf- ter between the United States and Cuba, without re- ferring the matter to Spain; and also to demand repara- tion for the wariana antanene ancemtstnd -qata—+ wae weve wens, 2evording to the list already commuuicated to Con- Messrs. Cobb and Dallas are not to supersede Mr. Souls, but to advise with him, and act as joint ministers. How Mr. Soulé will like it, has possibly not entered into the calculation of thé people in this meridian. It is not believed that Spaim will acquiesce in these demands, but it is supposed by the administration that, by adopting this deliberate course, taken mn connection with the proclamation against filibustera, it will demonstrate to the world that the United States were not the aggressors; and when that is accomplished, war with Spain and the acquisition of Cuba will be a popular and extremely moral consequence. This is the determi- nation of the Cabinet to day, and as such we give it to you, and vouch for its being a strictly accurate report. ‘Wo will not guaranteo that there may not be a change before Sunday. The State department have received despatches from Mr. Greig, the United States Consul at Honolulu, to the effect that the King of the Sandwich Islands had renewed the application to be annexed to the United States, either as a territory or a state, and urged an immediate decision, on the ground that England and France were pressing him to such an ex- tent that unless the United States interfere promptly, there would no longer be an opportunity of doing so. Mr. Greig replied, that he was without any instructions on the subject, or power to act—but he ultimately consented to open negotiations, asa private individual, subject to the approval or otherwise of his government. It is ex- pected that the result of these negotiations will reach this city in the course of s month, and that they will present, directly, an applicaticy for admission into the Union, unless. iz,3eod, some unforseen difficulty suould arise in sajusting the preliminaries between the Ring and Mr. Greig. It is understood our government is wholly uncommitted in the matter—discretion being judged by Mr. Marcy to be the better part of valor. CONVICTS ESCAPED FROM THE PENITENTIARY, Two desperate villains, named Frank Camper and Jo- seph Allemander, escaped from the penitentiary this morning. The former was sentenced to eight years im- prisonment for manslaughter, and the latter to the same term for burglary, and half their terms had expired. The officers are charged with culpable negligence, as the prisoners got over the wall and escaped in open day, and (heir absence was not discovered for some time. Burglary in East Albany. Arpany, June 2, 1854. The dwelling house of Mr. Bullis, a lumber dealer in East Albany, opposite this city, was broken into at one o’clock this morning, and robbed of $60—one-half in cash and the other in notes. Three convicts who have lately been discharged from the State prison are su to be the burglars. ae os Fatal Accident. Burraro, June 2, 1854.

It is argued by the friends of Lexington that his defeat was owing to a mitapprehension on the part of his rider, who pulled him up at the expiration of the third mile, when at the top of his speed, supposing the race to be over. So confident are the friends of Lexington of his superiority asa four mile horse, that Mr. Ten Broeck, his owner, offers to run him over the Metairie Course at New Orleans, against the quickest time yet made in the United States, for ten thousand dollars; or against any named horse for the same amount. He still further offers to run him over the Union Course, on Long Island, 8 like race, for from twenty to twenty-five thousand dol- lars, the party travelling to receive five thousand dollars asexpenses.

They were then brought to Long Island, and put in the hands of Hiram and Isaac Woodruff, anda great fuss was made about the Rondout match in showbills and adver- tisements. The race was » humbug, neither of the horses being able to go a mile in three minutes.

Mrs. Emily Judson, widow of the late Adoniram Jud_ son, missionary to Burmah, and popularly known in the literary world as ‘Fanny Forester,’’ died at her residenco in Homilton, Madison county, New York, after’ a linger- ing illness, on Thursday, Jet instant, aged about forty years. The maiden name of this lady, so highly celebrated in religions and literary circles, was Emily Chubbuck. Her native place was Eaton, in Madison county, New York. She frst became known to the public as a writer for peri- odicals, and under the assumed name of ‘Fanny Fores- ter,”’ she acquired great reputation an a writer of refined taste, and a style of composition which* was much ad- mired as unique and attractive,while the morality of her productions bore a striking contrast to many of the ephe- meral works of her cotemporaries. Her success @$ & writer for periodicals induced Mise Chubbuck to appear, ! under her literary cognomen of “Fanny Forester,”’ a8 author of “‘Alderbrook,”” and other volumes, in the schoot of light literature, all inculeating moral lessons, and tending to increase her reputation as a female writer of great delicacy and elegance of style. In June, 1846, while she was in the height of her lite- rary popularity, Miss Chubbuck astonished her many admirers by an entire change in her career and pursuits, in announcing her resolution to devote herself to a mis- sionary life, and of course leaving her native country with but doubtful prospocts of a future return to her relatives and friends. At that time she became the third wife of the Rev. Adoniram Judson, D. D., Baptist missionary to Burmah, in Asia, and on the ilth of July she embarked, with her husband and other missionaries, in the ship Faneuil Hall, from Boston for India. They arrived at their pues of destination in the month ot November fol Ly The Rev. Dr. Lame was one of the most remai — men among American missionaries, and énjo; a hi reputation in the Baptist church.’ He was Me noliva’ot Massachusetts, and was born in 1788. He was educated and ordaingg ‘as a clergyman of tional church, 1811 was sent by the Missionary Society of that Burmab, in company with the Rev. Mr. Newell. missionary,labors of Dr. Judson in Bur- mah, or Eastern India, extended over @ period of about bets Fgh 74 terminating with bis death in Septem- ber, 1860. in Burmah his views baie bay tism underwent a change, in consequence of which ‘4 left the Congregationalists in 1814, and joined the Bap- tist church, Soon after the +.’ of her husband Mrs. Judson re- turned to the Unitu. states, and for tho last two years has been in somewhat feeble health. Her publications since her return have not been numerous. Among them isan ‘Olio of Domestic Verses.” ° In her personal appearance this lady was prepos sessing and pleasing, and agreeable in her manners and conver: sation. By an extensive circle of friends and acquaint ances she was highly esteemed for her Christian virtues and literary taste and attainmente, Hon.

REVENUE OUTTER—INOIDENTS, ETC. TELEGRAPHIQ. Boston, Juse 2, 1854. At about a quarter before nine o’c!ock thie morning the fugitive slave Burns was brought into the court room, attended by half a dozen men, the room being nearly filled with the guard proviced by the Marehel to ‘The cutter, after rea.iv'ng Burns on board, with half @ dozen officers who secaupany bim, sailed for Borfoll, Va. It is impossible to ewtixiite the number of prope gathered to witvess the imal close of tho fuzitive seve ' case, Thousands were present frome the country, umay having come seventy or eighty miles. All the strevte render ald, if necessary, in the enforcement of the de- | leading to the route of the eseort werw packed with the cision, and each man provided with a pistol concealed under his dress, At nine o’: lock the Commissioner took his seat, and order was immediately scoured. few momer ts of atitl- ness and anxious expectation succeeded. The counsel on each side soon came in, and along with them we noticed Mesers. Parker and Wendell Phillips. The Court said, the issue is between the parties under the statute of the United States, and the respondent claims that it is unconstitutlonal. The provision is alike applicable to bond and free. When an officer arrests a fugitive he must identify the person; and it is only a ministerial act. A fugitive from law has a greater chance for escape than a fugitive from labor. Constitutional objections have been urged which have been decided by the courts, and they are settled and binding on this Court. The statute of 1850 has been decided as constitutional by the Judges of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The Commis- sioner then quoted the words of the Chief Justice on the subject of the rights of slaveholders under the law. He referred to the objects of the law and the constitution, And said that it behooved all persons to regard them in the same spirit. It is said that the statute is cruel, and should not be executed. Will those who call it merci Jess commit its administration to a merciless Judge? If any wish it, they are more wicked than the statute. I think the statute constitutional, and it remains for me to app'y it. The facts set forth as to the escape and the identity re all which the Court has to consider; and the evidence of the claimantis that Anthony Burns was in Virginia. On the other side, it has been offered in testimony from many witnesses, to whom no imputation of interest can attach, who declare that the person claimed was in Bos- ton previous to the time he is said to have been in Virginia. Thus there is conflicting evidence on tho subject of identity. This ease, however, affords evidence of identity. Burns saluted his master by his Christian name, and also Mr. Brent. Burns’s conversation with his master was then recited. That a conversation of this kind took place, has been shown. This confirms and es- tablishes the testimony of Mr. Brent; and my mind is satisfied ns to identity. On the law and facts of the case, the Court considers the claimant entitled to a certificate from him of a right to the fugitive. At'an early hour in the morning, a company of United States infantry, anda detachment of artillery, with a brass six- pounder from the Navy Yard, were stationed to guard the main entrance to the Court House. The crowd asembled rapidly, and by nine o’clock thousands had gathered in the neighborhood of Court square. After the Commissioner’s decision, Court square was cleared, and the artillery detachment went through cer- tain military evolutions. Meantime, Court street and every avenue leading to the square, were packed with people. Many stores were closed, and several buildings were festooned with black. An intense feeling was evinced throughout the city. The Mayor issued the following proclamation:— To THE Crrvexs oF Boston:—To secure order through- out the city this day, Major General Edmands and the Chief of Police will.make such dispesition of the respec- tive forces under their command as will best promote that important object, and they are clothed with full discretionary powers to sustain the laws of the land. All well disposed citizens and other persons are urgently requested to leave thore streets which it may be found necessary to clear temporarily, and under no citcumstan- ces to obstruct or molest any officers, civil Sr military, in the lawful discharge of their duties. J. V. C. SMITH, Mayor. Etgvey o’ciock A. M. has been hung across Court street, but up to the preieat time there bas been no outbreak. The cannon fs placed 80 as to sweep Court square, ‘The United States Infantry are stillon guard at the main entrance. Burns will be taken down State street to Central wharf, between 1 and 2 o'clock, escorted by 145 United States troops, under command of Major Ridgely, includinga de- tachment of United States artillery, with a nino-pounder cannon loaded with grape shot, and the men provided with twenty-four rounds of ball cartridges. Fifty po- licemen are stationed on Central wharf, where a large crowd is now gathering. Burns will be put on board the steamer John Taylor and taken to the revenue cutter Morris, which will then be towed to sea. ‘A coffin has just been suspended from a building corner of Washington and State streets. The entire First brigado have just left the Common, and are marching down State street, the standards of the various compacies being saluted with hisses and cries of ‘shame.’ ‘The people are wild with excitement. TWELvE 0’ CLock M. ‘The Light Dragoons, under Col. Wright, are now clear- ing passage through State strect, which is blocked up by adense mass of negroes and whites. If the State troops were out of the way, it is the general opinion that a desperate attempt at rescue would be made. Hure-Past Tweve O'Ciock P. M. The military line of State troops extends from Court square to Long wharf. In some instances, the pressure of the dense crowd, and their groans and hisses, have Jed to collisions, but none of ® serivus onaFActer have ¢- eurred. Mr. Grimes, the colored pastor of the Baptist church, together with the fugitive’s counsel, took leave of him at twelve o'clock. He appeared to be in good spirits. There are at least 20,000 persons in Court and State streets. Application was made to the Mayor to have the bells tolled, but ho refused to give his consent, Ose O'Ctocx P.M. Court street has been cleared, after much trouble, and all the streets leading into it are guarded with troops. ‘Wm. Jones, » witness on the trial, was arrested on the wharf for using exciting language, He was taken up State street by two policemen, and enthusiastically theered all the way, while the policomen were greeted with groans and hisses. Nive 0’Ciock P. M. The excitement today in Boston has besn greater, probably, than ever before known in the present genera- tion. Asearly as eleven o'clock, windows, roofs, and every available position to view the departure of the fugitive, were occupied. Thousands of women filled the balconies, and retained possession of the windows in Court and State streets, up to the time of his departure. Business was generally suspended, and many stores closed. After twelve o’clock every avenue jeading to Court and State streets was closed by the military. Much inconvenience was caused to persons who had notes to pay, and even the telegraph mossenger boys had to suspend duty. At a quarter past two o'clock Burns was taken from the Court House, and placed in a hollow square of one hundred special deputies of the United States Marshal, each armed with a cutlass and revolver. ‘Tho marines, infantry, and a detachment of the 4th regiment of artflery, with a brass nine pounder, loaded with grape, under command of Major Ridgeley, United States Artillery, acted as a special escort. The United States troops numbered one hundred and forty-five rank and file. ‘The State troops, under Major General Bamands, em braced the lancers and light dragoons, with a regiment of infantry, and another of artillery—altogether ono thousand men. The entire police force of the city was also engaged, and rendered efficient service As the escort proceeded down Court and State streets to the wharf, the several companies who had kept tho avenues leading thereto, closed file into column, and the full force concentrated on the wharf Burns was put on board the steamer John Taylor, about three o'clock. ‘The wharves and vessels in the vicinity were crowded With thousands of persons gathered to witness the em- barkation. The United States marines and the troops from Fort Independence went down the harbor in the steamer, The steamer was delayed at the wharf by th, living mass. At the corner of State and Washington etrects a quan- tity of snuff, cowiteh and a bottle of vitriol, were thrown among the escort. In the vieinity of the Custom House, a truckman at- | tempted te-drive his team through the military Mne, and one of his horses—a valuable animel—was killed bye stab from a bayonet. The crowd cried, “Shame, shame,’? aod made a rush, when the commander of the company, A. H. Evans, Cuptain of the Boston Artillery, greatly excited, gave the order to fire. Col. Boyd, of the staff, hearing the order, spurred his herse im front of the com- pany and prevented the cxeeution of the order. Several persons were arrested for disorderly conduct, and three or four badly hurt. A well dressed elderly man was conveyed to the hospital, his head being eut open by « sabre. Joseph K. Hayes, Captain of Police, resigned his offce at noon to-day, refusing to do duty in the slave matter. In some of the adjoining towns, as soon as the rendl- tion of Burns was anzounced, the bells were tolled for one hour. THE PEELING ELSEWHERE. Pawruonsr, June 2, 1864. The surrender of Anthony Burns has been generalig announced throughout New England, and causes @ pre found sensation. The bells are tolling here, and in most other places.

It will be recollected that a similar resolutt offered in the House on Monday, did not reoelve majority—doubtless because the practice in such cases was not made known by the mover, Mr. Faulkner, who had no opportunity to explain it. We learn that there is abundant precedent for suck action as has been had by the Senate. One case ia sufficient. By the Statutes at Large, 6th volume, page 17, we perceive that $2,000 was allowed by ‘ongress to the widow and children of Robert For- syth, Marshal of Georgia, who was killed while exe- cuting the process of the United States government. It has often been remarked—and we repeat it here upon high authority—that the eminent statesman, the lamented John Forsyth, of Georgia, and his brother, were both educated upon the fara thus op- portunely voted by Congress to their mother.
