The pews is one day later than that brought by the Camada to Boston. ‘We have not received a regular fle of European papers by the Edinbu-g, but have to thank Captain Cumming for scopy of the North British Daily Mail, printed on the evening of Saturday, 16th ultimo, from which we take the folowing summary of events and market reports, ‘A telegraphic despatch from Holyhead, dated on the morning of 16th ultimo, (Saturday,) says : ‘The Persia, with New York dat s to the 4th inst., was off Holyhead at 9A. M. She is expected about 4 o'clock ‘this afternoon. ‘The North British Mail of the 16th ult., in its Glasgow Stock Exchange report, daied at balf-past three o'clock P. M., says:—The market was generally good, and & fair business transacted. Prices much the same as yesterday. Guaranteed stocks rather higher. At the meeting of the Unity Bank, London, held yestar- day, the 16th inst., Mr. Mechi in the chair, a report was presented showing a profit of £8,033 11s. 10d. since the ust meeting; yet this sam was not available, being ex- eeeded by the current expenses. But the directors hoped that the improved management would have a surplus profit by the next half year. There was a balance of cash to hand of £50,000 out of the paid up capital of £150,000. ‘The report was adopted. A despatch from Paris, dated the evening of the 16th of January, announces that M. de Argout, ex Governor of ‘the Bank of France, bas just died.

A letter in the London Times of December 2, from Cawn- pore camp, describes the retreat after Genoral Wynd- ham’s defeat, and the panic in the camp. Wyndham lost his camp, with five hundred tents, the mess plate of six regiments, no end of tents, saddlery, and harness in an ‘apfiuiehed state, and private property valued at £50,000. Sit is said, He lefthis flank exposed, and made no pro- vin for toe safety of his camp. The conduct of the Sixty-fourth reghknent was admira- ble; they made a desperate charge. Major Sterling, Capts’ Murpby an¢ Macrae were shot dead. Capt. Parsans was wounded. Brigadier Wilson was shot, after exclaiming, ** Now, boys, you bave them.” Two of our guns opened on the regiment by mistake, whilst the enemy’s cavalry eharged them. ‘The decoration of the English Victoria Cross has been conferred on Lieut.

Without any other word from me, Lieutenant Havelock placed himself ‘on bis horse, ‘n front of the centre of the Sixty fourth, op- posite tbe muzzle of the gun. Major Stirling, commanding the reg’ mont, was in front, dismouated, but the lieutenaat continued to move steadily om in frovt of the regiment at a foot pace, on bis horse. The gun discharged shot until the troops were withig a short diaiance, wlien they tired grape. In went the corps, led by the lieutenant, who still steered steadily on the gin’s muzzle until it was mas- tered by a rush of the Sixty-fourth. General Grant, in a report, dated at Delhi on 22d of June, ‘1857, says:—The guns, 1 am happy to say, were saved, but ‘&@ wagon of Major Scott's battery wae blown up.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS—THR CAPTAIN AND CREW —STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN MARSHALL. ‘The wreck of the steam tug Ajax, publishod in yestor- day’s Hrraxp, has proved to bea total loss, but fortunately the Captain and crew were all saved from a watery grave. It wasat first thought that all had perished. But by a special messenger wo were to able, lay before our readers yesterday, that all had succeeded in geting in eafety on shore, although having suffered greatly by being exposed tothe storm, being compelled to stand three hours on the wreck, the sea working over sternevery five minutes. The tug, it appears sprun; leak, while towing the bark Mary C. Dyer upto the city. They had made about half the distance when the storm came up, and it blew such a gale that, at times, it was with the utmost difficulty that the captain and crew of the Ajax conld keop from be- ing blown overboard. It was about three o’clock when the storm set in blowing east southeast, and Captain Mar- shall, of the tug, ®mding he would be unable to reach the Hook with the bark before dark, was compelled to cast hor off, the tug at the same time leaking and both pumps going. It was about eight o’clock when they ran ashore, and not until eleven o’clock when they all had got in safe- ty on beach. ‘The bark Mary C. Dyer, it will be remembered, ran aground on the outer bar, near Barnegat Inlet, on the 9th of Janvary; she having succeeded in getting afloat, the steam tug Ajax was despatched to tow the bark up to the city. Zaptain Thomas F. Marshall, of the tug, reached this city yesterday, and gave our reporter the following ac- count of the wreck :— STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN MARSHALL. ‘The tug left tho city ata jittle past twelve o’clock on Sunday pight, and reached Barnegat at eight o’clock Mon- day morning; the bark was immediately taken in tow, and in about an hour we started on our return; the weather was very mild, and we proceeded along making remark- able good time, until about three o’clock, when it began to blow and aterrific storm sat in, the wind blowing east southeast; about half past three o'clock or a little be- fore four the tug sprung a leak, several seas washed over us, and we were soon compelled to set the pumps agoing. Having gained somewhat on the water, we ran along for atime very well; but the storm to increase and the pumps were found to be choked up; while clearing them out the water again gained on us, but we soon got the Pumps working again; we worked it down until the floor of the fire-room was once more dry. We had no sooner succeeded in accomplisbil this when the = again got stopped up wi could work them no longer. then cut loose, as we found that we should be unable to reach the Hook before dark. The bark anchored in about even fathoms of water, and rode out the storm in safety. After deserting the bark we made ten miles in the first hour, but after this we seemed to be unable to make any ess. After finding I could do no more with the pomps,T got the crew to bailing with buckets, and con- tinued wg until near 7 o'clock. We conld not, how. ever, get the better at this time of the leak, and we were at lergth forced out from below.

Every time we shipped a soa 1 wo.)d shut the engine off, but it would shake the engine tremendously. One of the orew, C.

After crossing the little sand bar the tug gave one ortwo plunges, and then struck bigh up on the beach. She was stove all to pieces. We ali, however, succeeded in keeping together on a portion of the wreek. Our only chance now was to jump overboard, and trust to being washed ashore. Kingsley made the first attempt, and when the waves re- ceded he jumped over, the next sea commg up carrying bim on the beech It war about 11 o'clock when we all had safely reached the shore.

One of the crew, named Bill, ran a spike in his foot while trying to get down into the engine room. This was tho only injury any of us received, al though we were wet through, and at one time almost frozen to death, The tng lays stern on the beach, aad at low water one can walk around her, A large portion of the machinery can be saved. The crew are deserving of much credit for the noble manner in which they worked to save the tug. One of them had his fingers frost bitten.

Comore Comermence—Waar's iv 4 Nawx’—The steam- ef Allantic, belonging to New York, was lost in a gale some years since on Long Island Sound; shortly after another steamer Atlantic wae lost on Lake Erie. Both accidents were attended with frightful loes of life. ‘The steamer Reindecr, running between this city and Albany, exploded her boilers om the North river, and within « few months thereafter the steamer Reindeer, running on the Mississippi, exploded her boilers, and a great number of persons in both cases wero killed. ‘The steamship San Francisco waa lost at sea, and « great number were drowned. Not long after this accident the clipper ship San Francisco was lost in going out of San Francisco bay. The steamer Henry Clay was burned on the North river, while on her way to this city, and oear about the fame time the packet ship Henry Clay was burned in the port of New York. The steam! 1x was loet off Chatham ina gale while on her way this city to Boston some four years since, and another steamtug Ajax was wrecked on Monday last im a gaie at Long Branch. ‘The Introduction of the Camel tn the United States. James Gonnow Bexwert, Esq.— Thavo seen it stated in the New Yore Henarn of tho 22d of January, in an article headed ‘Lieutenant Reale’s Late Experimental Expedition with the Camels,’ that Mr, Gliddon, for many years Consul in Egypt, and a man of ecience and observation, waa the first to agitate the ques- tion at Washington of the certain success of the camel on the Western prairies of our continent. Now, not wishing to detract anything from the merit of Mr. Gliddon, I wou d simply say he never was Consul at Egypt, thugh bis late father, an English merchant, wae. If I am not mistaken—which I think I am not—it was the late D. S. McCauley, Consul General at Egypt, who forwaraed an elaborate report upon the nature of the camel to Washington, strongly recommending them for the use of hte army over our Woetern prairies and moun- tain , which prompted the government to send & report into for an appropriation to try the expe- riment, and, aa the writer says, it was warmly advocated by the Hon.

Doran has been ordered to the United ‘States steam frigate Colorado, at Nerfoile HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN WILLUM STREET. Love, Murder and Suicide. A most melancholy and intercating case of love, murder and suicide occurred at No. 237 William street on Tusaday evening. A German couple named Gotlieb Gross and Rosa Wizabeth Marks, had been living with each other as man and wife. Gross became weary of his love, and de- termined to go to New Orleans, Rosa, on hearing of his intention, became desperate, and atonce resolved that her lover should never leave her. Accordingly she purchased ® quantity of arsenic, which she administered to him on the eve of his departure for New Orleans, and then swallowed a portion of the poison herself. On Tuesday evening the inmates of the house discovered the pair struggling in the agonios of death. Rosa died in a few minutes after the discovery, but Gross lingered for several hours afterwards. Rosa, it appears, was a courtezan, fcfmerly a resident of Nos. 8 and 10 Mott street. She was about twenty years of age and extremely prepossessing in appearance. While boarding in Mott street she made the acquainiance of Gross, and soon they were drawn together by more than the ordinary ties of friondship. They fell in love with each other, and for the last six months were continually im each other’s company. (ross was at this time tending bar for his brother at the lager bier saloon No. 9 Duane street, under the Shakepore Hotel,and was a lodger at the boarding house of Mra. Bornhagm, No. 237 William street. It was agreed that Rosa should abandon the life of @ prostitute and take up her residence at No. 257 Wil liam street. There she resided for several months past, as the mistress of Gross, who paid for her maintenance, and on more than one occasion gave out that ehe was his wife. Of latea coolness has sprung up between the pair, ariving out of a determination on the rt of Grovs to leave bis fair inamorata and proceed to ‘ew Orleans. Rosa, who loved her paramour devotadly, was thrown into a deep state of anxiety and griot when she found tbat it wae impossible to alter his determiaa- tion. In vain ehe pleaded with him not to leave her alone and thus compel her once more to lead a life she abhor. |. Gross was inexorable and determined to leave New Yurk atall bazards. Accordiogly he left his brother's employ ment on Friday, with the intention, as he said, of making the necessary preparations for his are South. He had arrapgec so as to leave this city on fuesday evening. @n Monday evening he paid a visit to Rosa for the purpose of bidding bera lastadien. What transpired during the interview no one knows; those who were prosent have pasecd away, so the matter remains a profound se- cret The interview having been concluded, Rosa ex. reseed @ desire to accompany Gross to his lodging house. ¢ latter acceded to her request, and a! two o'clock on the morning of Tuesday the pair entered the apartments ‘occupied by Gross. About 10 o’clock A. M. one of the do mestics heard a noize in the bedroom of Grose as if some one was mixing something in a tumbler with a spoon. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon sounds of persons in dis- trees were heard proceeding from the bedroom. The ac- cupapts were distinctly heard vomiting and comolaning of being unwell. No further notice of the matter was taken until about 53 o'clock, when Gross, in a weak voice, calle’ out for one of the servants to bring him a drink of coffee. When the domestic entered with the be- yerage che found the couple in bed together, and both ap- parently suffering from illness. Gross handed the coffee to his companion and asked for a drivk of water for him- self, Soon after this the servant was alarmed by hearing something fa!! upon the floor. Upon entering the room Rosa. ‘was discovered lying upon the floor struggling in the last ies of death. She faintly called for more drink, and said 1@ was very sick, but before her request could’ be com- plied with life ceased and her spirit bad winged its flight to apother world. During the whole of this melancholy scene Gross was lying in bed helpless from the effects of the poison administered to him by Rosa. When told that she was dead, be replied, ‘She must have taken poison,”’ Becoming alarmed for his ewn safety he besought the do- mestic to exathine deceased’s clothing and to look under the bed to see if any poison could be found.

Interesting from Haytt The brig Flora, Capt. Roce, arrived yesterday from Port ‘av Prince, after a paesage of sixteen days Porinesa bad been more active, partionlarly in pro- vieions. Coffee, of which 3.876 bags or 495,904 pounds dave changed hands, brought $122. Logwo1, on the contrary, has fallen in price. Tao schooners had arrived from Boston heavily laden with proviions. Port an Prince had never been so well supplied with provisions, Two otber veevels were expected. Money was still acarce, Coffee had fallen, and the demand was very limited; it ‘was selling at from $110 to $112, There were x0 arrivals since the 16th, and the commercial bulletin mentions only the departure of the bark Clara Windsor for New York. ‘The operations of the wholesale and retail trade this month bear no proportion to each other. A supply o provisions has been recetved from a vessel consigned to John L. Wileon & Co, Coffee had fallen at Cape Haytien to $114. Gold remained unchanged; silver was scarce receipt therefore came in very slowly. Business has suffered coneiderably at Gonaives from th failure of Reimbaud, and the lawsuit which it has occa “sioned has already given work to the fribunal of Com- merce. THE CASE OF REIMBAUD [From the Fewile du Commerce, Jan. 16. Messrs. Deslandes and Valcin notify all whom it ma) concern that in calling together the creditors of Mr. E. Remmbaud, to submit to them propositions on his part, their only desire was to serve both parties. As the debtor and his creditors cannot meet for consideration, it was deemed necessary to obtain the assistance of men whose character would be a sufficient guarantes that everything would be arranged in a fair and honorable manner. For thia purpose Messrs. Deslandes and Vaicin have called toget although they say they are not— as bas been asserted by a lawyer—the advocates of Mr. EK. Reimbaud. Reimbacd himself ublished the following card:— It is my duty to state that the orders | have furnished on different houses here, with their acceptances, which ex pired on the 26:h of last month, have been settled by me with the holders of said acceptances, either in specie or in goods received in payment; and if the said notes have remained in their bands, it is only in consequence of negligence on my part. I make this statement, baving learned that the holders of some of these notes intend to present them again to the acceptors. FE. REIMBAUD. OUR PORT AU PRINCE CORRESPONDENCE. Port av Prien, Jan. 20, 1858. The Reimbaud Fauilure—State of Trade—Advice to Ameri- can Houses, de., de. No additional light bas been thrown oh the Reimbaud affair, and the state of our trade is the same as when I wrote last. In the long number of years that I have spent on this island, I have never witnessed anything like the calamity caused by this rascal. Nobody has got avy mo- ney, and everybody must pay. ‘“Sauve qui peut’ is the cry, and self preservation the object which prompts every house on the istand to push the others. A number of ves- have already left in ballast for other ports, and a good many more will have to follow the same course. There is not enough logwood on hand to ballast those that are leaving, and our sto2k of cotfee is hardly 6,000 bags, with no prospect at all of being soon increased’ Some forced sales of dry goods have been made at ruinous prices — still, American provisions, being rather scarce, show a tendency to rise in value. Of course the sales are limited bp Fi necessary articles, and of these but little sold. How many honses may have to fail in consequence of the disgraceful state of basiness, I cannot teil; besides, it is bard for a house to fail in Hayti. They may beah dred times bankrupt—etill, with a sert of st vic indi they continue to do business all the time, waiting only for a favorable opportunity to get fairly on their legs again. Tne business done in New York and Boston with this island wil! have to undergo serious modifications. | have often been astonished bow any young men, with nota cent of capital, conld go there and get credit for a few ehiploads of provisions. All this will have to be done away with; and itis much better for those merchants who have been trading with Hayti to lose the ou'standings atonce and take @ new start, than to be ranning in deeper all the time. This is a severe assertion, but | am perfectly sure that the future will endorse it, These small merchants have been spoiling the American trade entirely, y forced sales, at cost, and even sometimes below that. jow can they possibly fulfil their engagements now, after Reimbaud has cleared them out, with no capita! at all, no money in hand, and hard pressed from all sides? It ia only the credit from the States that could do #0; but I hope the Yankees will at length open their eyes, and give my arvice a second sober thought before they run in deeper After that the American trate would bs the beat on the island, and there would be no losses to fear and no Reimbauds to run away with other people's money.

Edward Everett —LInsolent Conduct of the Conumitice to the Press, A few days ago we received two tickets of invitation to the lecture of Hon.

The proceeds, the public have been already in- formed, are to be devoted to the assistance of the Wo- men's Protective Emigration Society, the objects of which are indicated in the title.

An express arrived at Leavenworth on the 22d ult., direct from Camp Scott, near For. Bridger. ‘The trip was made in thirty-five days, waich is un- Precedented for this season of the year, and we are thus placed in possession of intelligence to the 18th of December, which is five days later than previous- ly received. Everything was reported as being quiet, and the army generally in good spirits, and comfortably situated. Mrs. Cumming, the wife of the new Governor of Utah, had entirely recovered from the sickness with which she was attacked, occasiond by the fatigues of the journey, and the other ladies in the camp were represented as being in good health and spirits, Owing to the danger of communication by letter, the St. Louis Republican says no written accopnts were received. All were anxiously waiting for the arrival of stuck and the spring season to march immediately forward to the Lake. Captain Marey was expected to be back with ani- mals from New Mexico by the 15th April, and as soon thereafter as transportation could be effected Colonel Johnston would make the effort to enter Salt Lake City either by the Northern or South- ern route, he had not yet determined which. Brigham Young had delivered another warlike ser- mon in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, in which he enjoins upon the Saints to stick by him. Col. Johnston's impression waa, from every de- monstration made in the valley, that the troops would have to fight. Added to his own troops (regulars) Col. John- ston has five fall companies of volunteers, composed of Magraw’s men, teamsters and others, ready to as- sist. They have elected Capt. Bee, of the Tenth In- fantry, as Lieutenant Colonel—a very good selection ‘The stock at camp Scott was wintering tolerably well. Atleast two-thirds would pass through the winter. Provisions were tolerably plenty and would last, it was calculated, until June. Salt was remarkably scarce—worth from $2 to $2 50 per pound. A con. siderable amount of it was near at hand, on pack mules from Laramie. Court was in session on the 15th December, Judge Kek’es presiding—the first untrammelled one ever held in the Territory. A good many preseatments were made by the Grand Jury, involving business enough for two or three weeks, The weather was pretty cold until the Sth Novem- ber; but, moderating after that, the snow was about five inches deep. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Wasiuvatox, Feb. 2, 1858. The New Phase of the Utah Question—An Arrangement Seriously Tatked of. The rumored propositions of the Utah delegate, Dr. Bernbisel, to President Buchanan, for the adjustment of the diffisulties in that Territory are now tho subject of conversation and criticism here, I commence my ietuer by saying “rumored propositions,” for, uotil there is something official on the matter, however respectable the source of information, there are ever plenty ready to stamp as bogus what parses to the public through any other channel than that with which they are identiiied. ‘That propositions for the prevention of hostilities in Utal bave been seriously talked over with the President is un- questionable, and that he would accede to honorable ar rangements by which the effusion of blood could be spared ja @ matter on wiich I can entertain no manner of doubt.

Well, sir, you can’t have it—it i@ intended for others on the stage, and you must give it up."
