2 'The Burning of William and Mary’s College. OUB WILLIAMSBURG (VA.) CORRESPONDENCE. Wriiamssvre, Va. , Feb. 8, 1859. Mt is my sad duty to inform you of the burning of ‘William and Mary’s College, one of the oldest collegiate in- Btitutions in the country, and one very much cherished ‘and reverenced by all Virginians as the Alma Mater of 80 many of her most distinguished men. Among these were the Randolphs of Turkey Island and Henrico—sons of * Wm, Randolph, Attorney General of the Colony of Virginia; ‘Theodoric Bland, author of the “Bland Papers’’ and Colo- nel in the Continental army; John Tyler, the first Gover- nor of Virginia; Carter Braxton, signer of the Declaration of Independence ; Thomas Jefferson, President of the ‘United States and reputed author of the Declaration of In- dependence; Charles Harrison, General in the Revolution- ry war; Governor Nelson, of Yorktown; John Taylor, of Caroline, mover of the celebrated resolutions of 1798-9 in the Virginia House of Delegates, and United States Senator from Virginia; Wm. B. Giles, Governor of Virginia and United States Senator; Spencer Roane, Judge of the Court of Appeals; Governor Litt. W. Tazewell, of Norfolk; John Randolph, of Roanoke; Governor Cabell; H. St. George and N. Beverley Tucker; George M. Bibb, United States Senator, Chancellor of Kentucky and Secretary of the United States Treasury; Benjamin Watkins Leigh; Wm. T. Barry, Postmaster Geveral; and in the present century she numbers among her graduates Philip P. Barbour, Richard ©, Archer, John J. Crittenden, Wm. 8. Archer, Linn Banks, John Tyler, President of the United States and second Governor of Virginia of the same name; A. T. Ma- son, B,@. Baldwin, Charles Todd, Jobo 8, Barbour, Wm. ©. Rives, John Nelson, Powhatan Ellis, J. B. Clopson, George C. Dromgoole, Wm. 0. Goode, and many others, ‘The fire broke out about balf-past two last night in the cellar, under the addition known as the library wing. The progress of the flames was very rapid, and no efforts were made to arrest them. This, indeed, would have been im- possible, owing to the fact that there is no fire engine in Williamsburg worthy of the mame. The building is en- tirely consumed—uotbing but the bare walls being loft. The library, containing from five to seven thousand volumes, valued at about $10,000, is destroyed, as is also the chemical apparatus in the room beneath.

What are the Filibuster Leaders Doing?—The Minnie Rifles om Board the Susan—New Ex_edition Futing Out, de. Although the adventurous schooner Susan lies wrecked upon the jagged rocks at the point of Glover's Reef, and the leaders of the party who went out in her are awaiting their trial at Mobile under heavy bonds, yet you may be assured that “the canine is not defunct.” Filibusterism is still alive. I bave it from an unquestionably reliable source that another'expedition of a filibuster character, and planned upon a much grander scale than any that has heretofore been organized in or departed from this very uneasy region, is at this time being prepared in and around this city. From what [ am told by others who are high in favor, my conclusion is that the vessel or ves- sels which convey the expeditionists will be fully ready to leave during the present month or early in March. This scheme is in no way connected with General Ron- ningeen’s “ Arizona, Mexican and Central American Colo- nization Company,” or with Colonel Lockridge’s ‘Western Land Emigration Society,” but is distinctly a Walker Nicaraguan affair. General Walker, in Fayssoux and others, who have been in Mobile since the departure of the Susan, arrived here to-day. General Walker and a few of the principals are seemingly altogether disconnected with the above proposed movement, yet it is very likely that they are energetically at work ind the scenes. There seems to be a general stir among the old filibusters who havo patiently and uncomplainingly met the innumerable ob- stacles that bave been thrown in their way, and the feel- ing among them is, that if there ever war a timo to win, that time is now. They speak well of Walker, and re- peatedly express themselves determined to stand by him throngh every fate. Colone) Frank Anderson bas gone to California, and the intention is to fit out. an expedition in that quarter, which will leave San Francisco or some other convenient port, in time to land the party at San Juan del Sur, so as to co- operate with those leaving here in February and March. ‘You will remember no mention has been made of the arms that went out on the Susan. I am informed that she carried about two hundred Minnie rifles aad a large quan- tity of ammunition, These were thrown into the sca at Glover's on the morning she struck. The rifles were a portion of the celebrated George Law arms, but had un- dergone gome alteration at New Orleans. They were recovered, properly oiled and coretally put in order by agents at Belize, Honduras, appointed for that purpose by yr Captain Maury.

The Houses of Bur- gessee, however, met in it until 1705, when, together ‘with the library and philosophical apparatus, it was de- stroyed by fre. The second building was commenced in the time of Governor Spottswood, but owing to the want of available means and the scarcity of workmen, the structure now just burned to the ground was not ed. until 1728. Before the Revolution the College consisted of a School of Divinity, of Philosophy and Mathematics. From 1700 to 1776 eight to ten Indians were annually educated and maintained. For about seventy years previous to the Revolution the average number of students was about sixty. At the beginning of the Revolution the number of atudente was seventy. Many of the distinguished gentle- men of Virginia conspicuous in the measures that led to the Revolution, and ior active co-operation with the pa- triots during the struggie for independence, were alumni of William and Mary Coljege. Towards the close of the war three of the professors and more than thirty students jomed the army. Among the latter were James Mouroe ‘and John Marshall. The parent eociety of the Phi Beta Kappa was organized at this college in 1776. In 1778-George Washington was made Chancellor of the college. His letter of acceptance is as follows:— Lawresor, K.

I left the theatre, and, by the advice of my newly found friends, commenced preaching, haying been licensed by ive Fifth Avenue church, New York city. I will not speak of my anxiety, my sleepless nights, and days of headache, in my efforts to please the church and serve the Master, nor of the straggies of mind with regard to the temporal present, aud the future. Day by day pro- vided me with bread, but day by day the same darkaees hovered over my pathway. I was entirely dependent. ‘This galled me; but I was able to bear this for the future good 1 might accomplish when L became settled as a paz- tor. I looked forward.

Here is work sufficient to keep up the Kansas excitement throughout the present year. The following is a recapitulation of the exciting events which have been marked out:— March 28—Vote on convention. June 7—Election of delegates. July 5—Meeting of convention. Oct. 4—Vote on constitution. Dec. 6—Election of State officers. Corngcricut.—The democratic and republican State tickets in Connecticut are now complete, both containing the same candidates that were run last year. JHumrnrgy Marsnau, Dering His Posrmoy.—Hum- phrey Marshall, inaletter to the Louisville Democrat, defines more fully bis position in regard to slavery in the Territories, to prevent misconstruction of the views expressed in his late speech on that subject. He says:— Ihave read the Dred Scott case often, and thoroughly, I think. It does not decide that the constitution carries slavery into a Territory. It bess decides that Congress eannot prohibit it from going. If the constitution ‘car- ries slavery” into # Territory, it must also carry it into a State; for the constitution is just as much the supreme law ma State as in aTerritory. It reads the same way in a State that it does in a Territory, and has just the same power in @ State that it has ina Territory. Would it be contended that the people of a Territory, when forming a State constitution, have no right to prohibit slavery? Clearly, if it was “‘carried’’ there by the con- stitution of the United States, they would not, nor could a State probibit any importation of slaves into its borders if the constitution of the United States “carried’’ it. Another Gardner-Furniss Affair, {From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb. 6.) A day or two ago something of an excitement was created on Sycamore street, by the appearance of a man in a single garment making a precipitate retreat, in broad daylight, in the direction of up town. This ill clad indi. vidual had scarcely passed before snother—in full cos- tume, however—was seen in hot pursuit, breathing threats of vengeance and holding a formidable looking revolver in his and. The pursued disappeared in the doorway of a house near at hand, and the pursuer dissp- peared there likewise, but returned, after half an hour, with the air of one who has sought and failed of revenge, The cause of this unexpected apparition is thus related: Acertain shoulder-hitter, who distinguished himself in the ring,’ bad become too intimate with the wife of one of his boon companions, @ proprietor of a coffee house in the thoroughfare mentioned, and in one of his visits, and when be supposed the husband absent from the city, he was surprised by that gentleman himself.

In fact, fonotony of society in Bri- lish Columbia was not even disturbed by a scene such as those personal rencontres which periodically diversify the deliberations of the United States Congress, nor was an) inhabitant of the colony in ag much danger of deat as the waiter of a Washington hotel who was too slow in serving aSenator. At events, John Nugent, special agent, made during his stay in Columbia no complaint of any il usage of the American immigrants. It appears, however, that the United States ernment had some complaints of Nugent, and thought it better to recall him. He was accordingly directed to return home, and was even féted by the British Columbians at that period of departure when all men of Eaglish blood let bygones be bygones round a dinner table, John Nugent, however, was not an Old World agent, and he could no more depart without a manifesto stage demon be exorcised without a flash of fire. In consequence, Mr. Jobn Nugent addressed a circular to the American citizens in British Colombia and Vancouver's Island, in whicb he betrays an affection for the United States government, which his recall would hardly seem to prove to be en- tirely reciprocal. He is the Jockey of Norfolk of republi cans, and as bis prototype could fight for the Crown, though on a stake in the hedge he will avouch the pugnacious qualities of the American republic, and its eager anxiety to “intervene,” though it has dispensed with his own ger- vices, probably from a better knowledge of the man than was ed by the rough and ready British Columbians. In departing, at the desire of his employers, from the British colony, Nogent reminds the Americans that they have been (what, indeed, we have described them above) a model of good behavior and quietness, but he adds a reflection, half partaking of approbation, and half of regret and contempt, that they have ot the gavago statutes of England ‘‘under very tryin; ie to their infring: ”’ The praise is well earned. There was for many long years but a bit of plate glaes between Rundell and Bridge's diamonds and the mob, and the latter obeyed the law, gh “under very trying provocations to its infringement.” The praise of the American population of Britian Columbia from the pen of Mr. John Nugent is, we fancy, quite as much attributable to the readiness of resources of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton as to the quiet and decent demeanor and elegant tastes of the Yankee immigrants from California. But the sagacity of the “‘dispenged with” agent finds an excuse for the miserable backelidings of the lish officials, who have been so long associated with the Indians and ‘‘isolated from civilized eociety.”” The courts of justice could not have been expected to have been better constituted or organized, as they were “out of crude and unfit materials— the only ones wi! were at hand on the influx of the strangers.’’ There is no doubt that the resources as to tri- bunais of the old country were sadly taxed in the presence of the critical guests whe bad arrived from California and the United . The only organization was that of the old English justice of peace court, and the dignity of an American tribunal was entirely wanting. s trate was not properly arrayed in shirt sleeves, nor were they tucked up to the elbow. His hat was not sufficiently pressed down over his brows, nor the soles of his boots presented with becoming flatness at the bar. Neither his expletives nor his tobacco were sufficiently plentiful. Iu fact, the English courts of justice wanted ‘‘tone.”” The intiff and defendant were not requested to retire and ht it out,and go-ahead civilization was not visible. For these reasons the American lation of Britigh Co- jumbia are warned by Mr. Nugent that they are to pay attention to the letter of the « . Lewis Cass” to the Unitea States Minister in Nicaragua, which proposes the novel theory thai when an American citizen can get no redregs from the tribunals of the country where he pens to be, for any outrage done upon him, hisgovernment will tuterfere for bis as far as is allowable by the law of nations. e Hon. Lewis Cass has a very idea; but, as Poff saya, in the ‘‘Critic,” there were others who bad it first; and we fear even the greatest nation in ll creation must admit that there have been people called Justinian, Puffendorff, Grotius, Vattel and Selden. ‘The question is not what did Mr. Cass write tothe Minis- ‘er at Nicaragua; nor, indeed, ie the question what did the recalled Mr. Nugent write to the motley mob of Germans, Swies, [rish and Australiane, whom he chooses to call Ame- rican citizens; but really the difficulty is to deal with America ag one of the family of nations. There has, per- bape, never been seen since the institution ef the colouies— Lay, since the Phoenicians passed down the coast of Afri- (ai—a more remarkable instance of the sudden necessity «f creating society itself than that which fell to the task of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. No political enemy can depy that he met the great extremity with the power of a mature mind. The novelist proved that he knew mankind, and the poet justifiea the derivation of his description—a “crea- tor” of new phases of society. If the Colonial Secretary bad to abandon office to-morrow he will have left a recollection of his régime in British Columbia which will outlast his literary fame; for instead of describi society he has made it, and he hag been an actor ag w a8 a dreamer. Now, what is the conduct of Amorica, if we yrongly judged her by the conduct of her agent Nugent? Sho finds anew society necessary to be constituted thousands of 8 away from the parent country. Hor subjects (if ly there is in eubjection) flock into that society for private, personal, sordid, pecuniary ends.

Without calling attention tothe domestic measures of administration taken by Austria in the Lombardo.

We borrow our documents from an inquiry orderod, some time ago, by tee Duke Maximilian, whose loyalty could not bend to the notorious injustice and im- partiality which presided at the division of the taxes. On such subjects the eloquence of Sgures is decisive; we will, therefore, confine ourselves to ® few inductions Crawn from the results of the i in question. In the course of forty years the Ii provinces alone have put into the treasury of Austria two millards of francs—the product of the land tax—an enormous figure, when it is considered that the Lombardo Venetian popula- tion only counts five million of inhabitants.

Domestic Dificulties Amongst the Spiritual- iste—Hatch vs. Hatch. SUPREME COURT. Fas. 10.—Cora L. ¥. Hatch vs. Benjamin Hatch.—Io this case, which is an action for divorce, on the ground of Cruel treatment on the part of the defendant, au answer bas been put in by Mr. Hatch, of which the following is the substance: He denies that he ever treated Mrs. Hatch in a cruel or inhuman manner. sented to Mrs. Hatch, previous to their marriage, that he had, during the space of two or three years then past, Deen a practising physician in this city, What he told ber ‘he does not recollect, but be avers that he ‘Maade no false representations to her. Since the marriage he has not practised as a physician in this city or else- where, nor made any effortto do #0. Soon after their g own notes for $3,400, Besides this he lent <n y ‘el till January, 1868, when she finally yielded to his persua- sion. He says that if her bealth has suffered want of clothing it was on account of her own obstinacy. Her under Cages other than flannel, were numerous, many of which, up to the time of her separation from Mr. Hatch, she had not worn. She was not only well supplied with money, but there was from $20 to $200 in her trank, to which she had continual access, and which he re- ly told her to use as she might need. The turing business made it more profitable for them to board than to keep house, and during this time they were urged to, and did, visit the families of Mr. William A. Lud- der and Mr. Taylor, in Brooklyn, and at the earnest re- quest of Mrs, Hatch they remained in the family of each— and especially in that of Mr. Ludder—longer than Mr. Hatch deemed proper, and against his remonstrance. She made no complaint up to the time of their separation, in this respect, or that he did not provide her with a home. The business of lecturing necesgarily brought them into contact with various characters—some good,and probably some bad. The Dr. Lyon referred to in the complaint, to whom Mr. Hatch introduced his wife, was a chance ac- quaintance, of gentlemanly address, who, for a time, had access to what is termed good aoclety in this city, and Dr. Hatch was ignorant of his character until it was rumored that he had suddenly absconded, Ae to Dr. Folsom, his wife was not living at the time specified in the complaint, ‘Mr. Hatch was innocent of anything derogatory to Mr. ig at a loss to understand what Mre. means by a “good social posi- tion,” as his social position admitted them to the society and apparent friendship of Mr. Johan W. Ed- monds 2 ex-Judge), James 8, Mapes, Dr. A. D. Wilson, . Ludder, ue. Taylor and others, to whose social position Mrs, Hatch not only made no objection, but has since her from him continued to reside in the family of Ludder, At the time mentioned in the com- plaintj Mr, Hatch went to Mr. Ludder’s house with a police officer and Dr. Folsom, with the Go arg loved Mra. Hatch from the house. Mr. Hatch bel that she was induced to remain there by persons who were unfriendly to him and desirous of separating them Prior to this time he had written a letter to her proposing that whe should live with him, or if not prepared to do 20, that she would asso- x acme iCpoenbie of aving ner prejudices agatast tm ible, ving her proju im ESS aad esene latte wep rrecrned to ace ‘unopened, and he believes that she was kept under a state of espion- age by which the letior was anticipated. ‘Mr. Hatch took the police officer and Dr. Folsom with him, to be witnesses to the transaction, as well as by their aid ‘Ludder from hindering him of access to hisawife. He be- lieves that if he could have taken her away, and placed her under the care of persons friendly to both, she would have consented to live with him. Althongh he took hold of her hands, and drew her as if to take her away, and told her that he had come for that purpose, yet he used nu other force than a husband has a right, by the laws of the land, to use to obtain possession of his wife, aud to induce her to live with him. He did not wish to put her under any unlawful restraint, and had no other motive than to induce ler to live with him. On one occasion he believed she had been spending some time in the room of the married gentleman afin to in the complaint, alone with him, and Mr, Hatch romonstrated with her therefor, until he was informed that other Jadies were with her. Mrs. Hatch was young and indiscreet, and at times per- mitted freedom from men which modest females usually resent, and did not seem to understand that it was im- Proper; and he cautioned her that such things would oc- cas! remarks derogatory to her character, From the time they were married to the 6th of August, 1858, they lived together in the utmost harmony, she making no complaint on any subject connected with their marital relations, or with the manner of his treatment of her, Prior to the time above mentioned he went to Chicago on ‘business, and remained absent till the 6th of August, bhi 3 her vy ahead: During his absence he received ters from her con! ing strong ex of affection When he returned, on ihe it of A for him, sho received him with affection, but very soon r, and on the same day, her manner chenged towards him. without any epperent cause, She became cold and distant, and told him that she could no live with him as his wife. She became cl le and capricious in ber conduct, and at times him affec- jonately; but up to the time of the date of the agree- ment seemed to become gradually more and more estranged from him. In this diflicuity he conferred with Mr. Mapes and John W. Edmonds and others whom he believed to be mutual friends, and they came to the con- clusion that in consequence of delivering public lectures, which were on spiritualism, she had overtasked her brain and had fallen inte a morbid state, resulting in an aberra- tion of mind to some degree, and he then and now be- lieves that that conclusion was true, It was by those tly common friends, and by pes and Edmonds, who were and are professed irit- valists, that he should enter into the agreement mentioned in the complaint, not really for the purpose of separating them, but to restore them to their former state, it being the freely expressed opinion of these gentlemen that a formal proceeding of the kind, and an award in his favor, would 0} beneficially upon her mind and reconcile her to him. It was this tnat induced him to enter into the agreement. When the award was he became aware of a determination on the part of these supposed friends to do all in their power to widen the breach un- happily existing between him snd Mrs. Hatch. The arbi- trators beard the matter without being sworn, as re- quired by Jaw, and conducted the proceedings unfairly towards him, besides listening to charges against him in his absence without giving him an opportunity of answer- ing them. To the allegations in the complaint which are = iS hie toin the above, Mr. Hatch makes a general lenial. Court of Common Pleas—Part First. Before Hon. Judge Daly. ACTION AGAINST AN INSURANCE COMPANY. Fernvary 9.—Charles Day vs. the Oriental Mutual In- surance Company.—This was au action for $5,000 and interest on a time policy of insurance for one year, effected with the defendantson the ship Alida, which was lost on the Sist of August, 1856, near Apalachicola, in the Slate of Florida, ‘The defence set up is, that the plaintiff gave warranteo that the yeswel should not. visit certain ports on the Continent of Europe, and other places specified in America and various parts of the world; that, in violation of this warrantee, the Alida went to Vera Cruz, which is one of the prohibited ports, and that the policy is there- fore void. It was agreed that, under the charge of the Court, the jury should find a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the General Term The Judge then told the jury that an anterior deviation would not void the policy when the veesel was lost in the wators where she was privi- leged to navigate. ‘The jury rendereda special verdict for the plaintiff for $5,811 80, subject to the opinion of the General Term, Su ite’s Office.

Nobody seemed to know exactly who was the originator, and the mem. bers of the Executive Committee of the Union who were present pronounced the whole affair quite premature. Mr. John L.

All that was needed ‘was to call a meeting of the members and exhititors.’’ ‘A Bystanper—Wby didn’t you call a meeting. You were an exhibitor? “well, lwas satisfied with the way things were going on. Mr. Rixerx—Gentlemen, the fact of the matter was, we bad not the requisite support from the inventors ex- hibitors. We sent letters to them all—somesix huadred— and only received answers from about fifty, and not enough material aid to carry the thing through. Mr. W. 8.

Here is the scheme (producing a paper) and if could have obtained that money we should have been s jucceseful, Mr. J. L. Rixer—That is the fact, our small advertise- ments never paid for their cost.

I have tried fo vain to get the Execu- tive Committee to report, and though they are but four out of ten managers, they refuse to do so. The books and papers of the concern are locked up and I cannot get at them. Now, I say, let us have a report from the Executive Committee. That is just what I have been trying to get at. .

I would like to know whether the gentleman who made the s was an exhibitor. Mr. Bxven—I was not. Mr. Rixer—I think it comes with a very ill grace from any one who is not an exhibitor to cull us to an account. Mr. Bevsx—I did notcall you to account. You made an appeal for money, and I suggested the propriety of iving some statement of the condition of affairs. Surely, itcan be no difficult matter, Letus know what money have been received, paid out and are owing, and then we ‘will know whether or not to invest our money. There are doubtless many who would be wilimg to aid the enter- ‘ise if they only knew what was the precise state of af- fairs. Sovomon—The gentleman is right. Let os have a report.
