He re- peated bis confession this morning; states that his fol- Sow workmen 1ad joined him in giving money to Meyer's wife to enable her to escape from the brutal treat- ment of her husband; Meyer accused the two of conniving at her desertion of him, and va- vious quarrels ensued; on the last one Moyer attacked the prisoner with a stick, and an unlucky blow was givea,which the prisoner supposed caused his death, * for be says Meyor was dying when he fled.

Board of Aldermen, ALDEEMAN HOWARD AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE | BOARD. A difference of opinion arose in the Board of | Aldermen on Tuesday evening last between the , President (Mr. N. C. tily,) and Alderman Howard, | respe.ting the alleged promise of the former to place the l.tier on the Committee of the Fire De partment, Alderman Howard felt somewhat sore atthe general feeling of the Board against him, as the representative of the Sixth ward, and com- | plained that he is always obliged to act on the de- } tensive. Two members of the Fire Department | Commitéee resigned from their inability to attend to the duties in consequence of having several other committces to act upon. Alderman Howard, as an Assistant Engineer, and an active member of the Fire Department, who is not on any other committee of the Board, was proposed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Alderman Brown asa j Member of sach committee. Alderman Howard is known te be an anti-Carson man, and he was op- posed avd defeated, and he charged the President of the Board, who voted in the majority against him, as having “‘meanly broken hi: word” respect ing his promixe to nominate him (Howard) on the Fire Department Committee; whereupon the Presi- dent indignantly declared this aszertion’to be false and demanded the name of Alderman Howard's in- formant, which was given. The subject, contrary to expectation, was not renewed on Wednesday evening, the last meeting of the sossion, but the following correspondence has since taken place on the subject. Tbe reader will judge for himsel where the mistake Hes:— MR. ELY’S LETTER 10 MR. VENN. Mr. H. B.

On the occasion above alluded to, yon reply to my ch i “that you should place Mz; Howard on the Fire Depsrtment Committee, was that it waa all tight, that you wished me to geo my friend, meaning Alderman H., and go state it to him,” the frank and friendly intercourse that has existed for #0 long atime between youreelf and me warranted Iny believing that would so constitute the com- mittee as your wor acestainly did imaly,to wit, “that it wasall right,” acting upon such presumption I communicated it to erman H.

[From the Boston Jourcal, August 17.} We have already announced the arrival of the U. 8. sloop-of-war Albany, at Tarks Island, which vessel been sent ont by our government to in- quire into the circumstances connested wita the en 4 of the American Consul at that place, Jobn L. Nelson, E: The facts connected with this case, as we learn various sources, are a8 follows :—It seems that some jealousy exisis among the mercantile community and officials at ,furks Island towardathe American Consul. The trade of ‘Turks Island is principally with the Unjted States, and the American Consul being connected with a commission house at the secures the major part of the American business. As A consequence, the members of tnis house are in bad odor with certain partics. Both Mr. Nelson and the former Consul at the island had been subjected to many annoyances in consequence of this state of things. In the early part bento ee Nelson was grosaly insul by Gustavus Lightbourn, Esq., one of the magistrates of the island, and mecting him in the street he incautiously committed some trifling 6, for wi he was arrested and brought be- fore the Police Court. There he made an ample apology, and desired to settle the matter by pa; a fine; but the magistrate, instead of imrosing a light fine, as was customary in such cases, boand lum over to the Superior Court. ‘The case came up in that court in May last. Mr. Nelson was charged in ene count with aseauls on Gostavus Lightbourn, and on a second count with on assault on him as a magistrate. To the first charge Mr. Nelson pleated “guilty,” but to the ee- cond “not guilty,” as he was not avare at the time that Mr. Lighthourn was a magistrate. However, @ general piesa of guity with extenuating cirsom- stances seems to have been recorded, against which the defendant demurred as informal. The Court reserved the objection for future consideration, and proceeded to fino Mr. Nelson the exorbitant sum of £20. This he refused to pay, and was imprisoned until, tired of his close confinement in an unhealthy jail, and despairing of the interference of his go vernment, he paid the fine and was released. The facts in the case were promptly brought to the notice of the government, which, however, took no steps to secure the release of Mr. Nelson, and fied enw Sy American gentleman residing on the isisnd, who was formerly consul there under the | tleman who had the matter in hand possessed, how- ever, unusual energy and perseverance, and was not easily shaken off; aud it seems that the administra- tion, after it had despatched the Cyane to Greytown, to revenge the insult to Mr. Borland, concluded that it could not do leas than inquire into the ciream- stances connected with the imprisonment of Consul Nelvon. The sloop of war Albany was teage eros sent ont, and arrived at Turks Islandon the 25 ult. How this matter is viewed at Tarks Island, smong the unprejudiced part of the people, will be seon by the following extract from ao article in the Royal Standard of J~ly 29, announcing the arri- val of the Alban ‘The canse of Mr. iso :’a late incarceration fs too well known to the public to need to be repeated now. The tieatment which he experienced on the ocecssion has alWays ap) 4 to us disproportionate to the offencd—a 0 hich be acknowledged having com- we take into consideration the own yOliioal and hostile feelings of the individuals into whese hanis he fell; namely, the party ascaulted— the Police magistrate, who would not settle the case, but eat it to the Supreme Court—the Quoen’a Advocate, wio had slieady on bis own accoun’ preferred unsub- gainst him at the police court, and at (he higher tribunal—the Judge of the Supreme Court who sentenced him—and the Provost Marshal who took him into curtody being the same Polico magistrate—we asy it requires a stronger falth than we possess to believe that inall these transactions there was anentire absence of vindictiveness exercised towards Mr. Nelson. We hopeand trust that from the investigation which Commender Gerry fa carrying on iho whole trath will be brougat to light. We are disposed to the administration all due credit for its inte: in this case, though it must be acknowledged that its action was some- what tardy. Contrasting this case with the affair of Borland, which presents similar points, we can- not help thinkin the ition has made fish of ove and flesh of another. Mr. Borland, a man who is notoriously rash, headstroeg and irasci- ble, was insulted by an ii mob, and forthwith, without —- into an _——_ tee, President Pierce sends & war to r wn Greytown. Mr. Nelson is fined and impris- Su open a frivolous charge, and after the la; of two months a governme: bow arraigned | alministration of Mr. Fillmore, waited upon Mr. | Marcy, with a fnll statement of the facts.

Being only a one day's match, {t was not played out, but given ia favor of the merry bachelors on the strength offthe first innings. The wickets were pitched at 10 A.M. The weath- er warm, but just enough of air to fan into a flame the cricketting ardor of the assembled warriors The ‘young uns” having won the toss sent the Bene- dicts in, who sent Sharp and the veteran Bailey to the wickets, to the bowling of Gibbs and Meikle- bam, the latter of whom goon gave Bailoy a teazer without his having placed anything to the score. Emmet now joived Sharp, but a rippe : from Gibbs sevt the latter to the “rent abont,” aiter making a fine cut for two. Capt. Wallack hon took the bat, and commenced slashing them in all directions, bat unfortunately lost his wicket, by miscalculatiog the thi powers of Davis, after making nine teen runs in very fine style. Hindbaugh in the meantime pleyed well. Giobs having fouad his w.y into Fmmet’s timbers after his laying steadily r four. Lamontagne joined Hindbamy » bat was goon die} d off by a tive from Meikieham. Wal- ter, 8am Wightand son followed, without adding materially to the score, which amounted in the first innit gs to sixty five. The bachelors sent Turner and Bingham to the wicket to the bo sling of Capt. Wallack and Walker, r’s_stumps were soon deprived of their equilibrium by a ripper from Walker, after making one ran, Ingham goon followed suit, by giving way for three, to the joint efforts of Wright and Wallack, Gibbs and DeGrave, now in together, gave the spectators an opportuaity of witnessing some very tine play, aud causing che fleld to show their activity at every point; but ove of Wallack’s proved fatal to DeGrave immediately after giving a very decided chance, which was missed. Tingon now made his appearance, looking all confidence in his ers of aggreasion; but Wright would hold the ball tipped into his hands off Walker, wich was deeined unfortunate, a8 some fine play and free hitting was expected from Tinson. Meikleham suc- ceediag, the ball was soon again in motion, skippiag in ail directions over the green plain, and causing the scorers to use their ink more freely, until the yeteran Sam caught Gibbs “napping” and stumped him out, much to the mortitication of all lookers on, bachelors: and ladies. Davis, Cropper, Saunders and Wood soon followed, without scoring many. Banning carried out his bat. Meikleham havi made twenty-six runs by some free bitting had “‘no- tice to quit” from Walker. In the second inni of the married men, Bailey, Emmet and Wallac played well, the tremendous hits of the former exciting great applanse; but time was called when they had yet three wickets to go down, and one hondred and thi:ty-seven :uns on the score, thus closing a very pleasant day’s play. The bowling of Wailack, Gibbs and De Grave was very good throughout; the fielding was fair on both “tacketopping,* aad fe Belding reneraly, of Bing” bac} an ie O ing: bam, on tie ide of the bachelors. ‘4 i MARRIED MEN.

Another Brittsh Account of the Bombard- ment of San Juan. {From the Bermuda Royal Gazette, Aug. 8.} | INSULT TO THE BRITISH FLAG—PIRATICAL PROCRED INGS OF AN AMERICAN FRIGATE AT GREYTOWS, MOSQUITO TERRITORY. The United States frigate Siam, (twentysfour | guns), Captain Paillips, about the 20th ult., fired nearly 400 red hot shute and shells into Greytown, and afterwards landed a party which ransacked, pillaged, and burnt sach parts of the place aa liad not already been dest! by their artillery. The residences of the British and French Consuls shaved tho common fate, and the flags of their respective nations displayed thereat, were pulled down, tram: | pled apon, and torn into shreds by these “ filli- | busters. ° | The British ion of the inhabitants took ref | on board H.

Had she besn of only half that number, ireytown would not be as it now is, a of rains, | for men who could commit such acts are invariably found wanting in courage when deeds of bravery are | to be performed. ‘The cowardico, to ray the least of it, of this at | tack on a peaceable and unarmed people, will be an oe to the United States navy, if the deed not immediately disowned by the governments if the perpetraters be not dismissed the service with every mark of ignominy, and if full compensation be not » (30 far a8 moasy will compensate,) to the unfortunate inhabitants of the place. It is said that Capt. Phillips was slightly * demented; but if this was the case what exoaxe can there be for the other officers of the Siam, A few years back the captain of one of H. M. veveels, then at Greytown, being called on by the authorities of that place to aid them in tue collection of certain port cues, deomed it neoossary to fire a shot or two over the American vessel whose comman- der refased to comply with the regulations of the place. For this simple act—in doing what he con- ceived to be his du Tea was sent by his gowern- wn war station. The ane at Greyto' brought to Jamaica by a colonial steam packet, Jelly sent by Commander Jolly. Comm»dore Hencerson, on receipt of the intel ce, imme- diately ordered H. M. steamer Argus, it. Puivie, to proceed with all despatch to the Naval Com- manderin Chief, (who is now at Haltfax,) in order to obtain his instructions. The Argas «crived here on Wednesday last, in tendays from Jamaica, and, remaining but a few hours to coal, atarted at 5 P.M. for Halifex. The cause of these justifiable proceedings on the part of the Suneslate appears to be the apore- hension by the municipal authorities of Greytown of a sailor belonging to the frigate who mar- dered one of the Citizens, and whoee trial was shortly to have taken place. The distrersed state to which the poor people of Greytown was redaced by there iratical proceed- inga quickly enlisted the charitable,peo)le’of Jama- ica to collect means to forward them such articles of food, &e., a8 they would probably etand in need of,and H.
