Particulars the Execution of Joseph W. Thornton in St. Louis—Extraordinary Composure of the Criminal. The telegraph has ehwailv In fnrmAil na nf the exeoution, on Fridaylgst, of Joseph W. Thornton for the murder of Joseph Charless, in St. Louis, who, it will be remembered, was shot on the 8d of June last by Thornton while walking on 'Market-street, between Third and Fourth. The deed was not committed at night, nor in an unfrequented part of the city, but at the hour of nine o'clock in the morning, in one of the most orowded thor oughfares. ills demeanor during confinement was not that of one who regretted the commission of the act for which he must forfeit his life. He frequently asserted that he should do the same thing again under the same circumstances and with the same opportunity. . 1 During a great portion of Thursday, the day preoeding the exeoution, the arrival of the Gov ernor was very anxiously looked for by the friends of the condemned man, thongh he him self expressed no eonoern in the matter, and wnen informed at a late hour that nothing had as yet been done for him, he replied: "I am prepared for the worn t I will die like a man." Saturday's Jdinouri .Democrat observes: Thornton has been considered by some per sons, since the murder, a man naturally vioious. But we are quite confident that suoh has never been his disposition. Judging from his phre nologio&l appearanoe, we should say he was a very sensitive man one who could not, like some, "sleep off" the idea of resenting a real or supposed injury to bis person, and more particularly to his character. He was, also, when not assailed by troubles, of an intel lectual turn of mind, and was more inclined to reading and study than to soaloty and what is commonly oalled amusement. The particulars of the exeoution are thus given in that journal: r Preparations for the execution were com- menoed at twelve o'clock, by Deputy Marshal Eves, who adjusted the rope around the beams, and put the trap-door of the scaffold in its proper position. Every officer conneoted with tne jail was besieged with persons asking ques tions as to what time it would take nlaoa. ata.. but no very definite answer could be given. The friends of the condemned seentcd anx ious, if possible, to exhaust all the time al lowed by the sentence, in hopes that the Gov ernor would ohango his wind, as it was un derstood that a dispatch had been sent to him m tne morning, asking for a respite. The moments were almost counted bv the carsona who had assembled inside the iail vnrd to gratify their curiosity, until three o'clock, wnen tne prisoner, supported on eaonside by one of the deputy marshals, descended the steps from the jail. Immediately behind mm touowea tne reverened gentlemen who had ministered so faithfully to his spiritual wants during his confinement, ; v On emerging from the jail, Thornton recog nised two or three old aoqualntanoes in the crowd, who stood eagerly watohing bis ap proach. On seeing them a pleasant smile appealed upon his countenance, and "giving a gentle bow of his head, he passed on to the steps of the scaffold, whioh he ascended more rapidly and vigorously than did any person Hoeomjianying mm. ug reaching tne top Of the scaffold he seated himself between the two clergymen, and looked around him, as if de sirous of seeing some one he knew. The Bllgh test tremor was not visible is his move ments, and his oonduot utterly astonished every person who witnessed it. . He was asked by the Marshal if he had any thing to say, and replied in the negative by shaking his head. He then declared himself ready, and stood upon a box placed upon the trap-door. The slightest quivering of a nerve oould no.tbedeteotedin him, even now when he saw tne death warrant whioh Mr. Cunning ham held in his hand, and was about to read to him.. This being done, Deputy Marshal Eres proceeded to cover his faoe with a long whitejoap, while Mr. Cunningham pinioned his arms behind his back with a small cord. The rope being adjusted, all the persons on the scaffold who had accompanied the prisoner stood dsck, n nue tne olergyman read prayers, after which all was declared ready, and at fourteen minutes past three o'clock, the mur derer of Joseph Charless hung suspended be tween heaven and earth. His neok was broken by the fall, although a great many persons thought life lurked and lingered in his body tor more man seven minutes after. After hanging sixteen minutes he was nro nounced dead, and cut down. Then it was ascertained, oontrary to expectations, that the neok had been broken by the fall. After the body had been taken down, the cap was taken from the faoe that a few moments before was animated and expressive. Strange to say, not the least distortion had taken place, the countenance being perfeotly natural, the mouth and eyes partially open the latter having a very glassy appearanoe. ft Thi Favous BshritV Cass.

Mrs. Bennett testified, in substance, that though the Doctor had en sev eral occasions taken the children from the yard, and once from the hall of the house, he bad never visited tne noose to see tnem. Mhe did not know that he treated them unkindly, but he had never manifested any Interest, save as stated. She farther said she thought she had leBS than $2,500 left of the $4,000 granted her as alimony. On the other hand, Dr. B. claims that the 4,000 and the real estate in George-street, which is owned by ner and the children, is enough to support them. He says that if she wishes to leave tue estate without the children, he will give good bonds to take New Haven Register, Nov. 8. of "Gotham" a Trbu or Ripeoach.

Particulars the Arrest of Palmer, the Alleged Harper's Ferry Conspirator. Dr. W. R. Palmer, arrested in Memphis, as we has e stated, on charge of oomplioity with Captain Brown in the Harper's Ferry affair, went to .that city last July, and was afterward married to a lady, of Shelby County, from, whom he fubiequently separated. On Thurs day Palmer was examined and held in $2,500 ball, in defs nit of which he was committed to prison. Thi' oiroumatanoes that led to his arrest are that given In the Evening Argut oCA Thursday: ; . . A week or two an a gentleman, while seated in a railroad ear between Baltimore and Phila delphia, discovered, in the seat behind him a man muffled to the chin, and apparently de siring as much as possible to shield himself from observation. As the train neiired a station, the lattor rose to his feet and left the car as he did so, accidentally dropping two letters and a small memorandum on the floor. The gontleman picked them up, and finding that one of the letters was sealed and addressed to John Brown, his suspicions were arouaed. The other bore the superscription of a man named Horner, directed to some point in Virginia, and had been , opened. Satisfied that this letter could throw some light on the seeming mystery, he perused its contents. And well th ey repaid hint for his trouble. 1 he letter stated that an agent of the under ground railroad, named Thatcher, had been in Memphis sometime during the. month of August, where he had become acquainted with one W. R. Palmer, residing here, and that the two had an Interview in the navy yard. During the interview (the letter goes on to say) Thatcher was informed by Palmer that whenever Brown was ready to strike the blow for the freedom of the slaves, he oould promise hitu any amount of money from Mem phis merolntsl .The gontlemen then im mediately forwarded the letter to Governor Wise, at Rtol'imond, whose subsequent action in the matter led to the arrest as narrated yesterday. Sad Fall or a Ccltivatbd Womas frou Intimperauob. A handsome and respeotabiy dreiaed woman was brought into Justioe Corn well's Court, in New York, on-Thursday,,ln a state of beastly Intoxication. ; While in oharse of the officers la the Court etao took a fit of delirium tremens, and the soene that ensued was heartrending beyond description. Her shrieks were so terrible and agonizing, that even the officers of the Court, used to such scenes, were visibly moved. One of the offi cers of the Court stated that this woman was the wife of an - eminent physioian, and but a short time sinoe was highly respected as an exemplary wife and mother, and had every thing around her to make her life happy; but in an evil nouysno yiemoa te tne vice ot in temperance, and since then has gone down . step by step, in her sad career. Her huBband tried every means in nis power to reclaim ner, but without avail; and, as a final resort, was obliged to have her arrested and sent to the Penitentiary. Ah Entibb Family Poisoned bt a Nsoro Slavs. An evening or two since, the family of Dr. Phillip Thorubury, residing near Louis villa, Kentucky, partook of muen and milk, exoept the Dootor. In a few moments five persons were taken violently ill, and had it not neen for the immediate application of emetios, death would unquestionably have en sued. ' As they had eaten nothing else but the mush, the oause of their severe illness was of oourse instantly attributed thereto. The re mains of the food were brought to Louisville, and subjected to anylitio tests, snd it was dis covered that there was a sufficiency tl arsenis to have destroyed a hundred persons. That the negro cook was not rendered elok, was thought very strange. She excused herself by saying that she did not eat the mush, and made suon statements as to implioate the negro man. Slavibt PasriBABLa to Fbkedom. A sprightly and tidy colored woman, named Margaret, slave ot the late Mrs, Sally Price, of Rlohmond, Va., was emancipated by her mil tress about nine years ago. She left that oity soon after, and since that time has visited several of the Northern States, in the capacity of servant, being, of course, mistress of her own time, and hiring herself to whomsoever she ohose. A short time ago she returned to Richmond, and a fow days ego applied for the privilege of ohoosing a master, and resuming the oondition ot a slave. Nsw Pbojbct IK Pabib. The Courrier du Havre states that a projeot is under considera tion tor removing to a distance of hi teen leagues frrm Paris, all the great workshops of the railways. The execution of the project would necessitate the removal of a great num ber oi worKmen trom farts, and would thereby tend to reduce rents in the districts occupied by workingmen i it would, besides, be profita ble to the companies, aa they could sell the ground which they now ocoupy for a much larger sum than the purchase of new sites, and tne construction oi new womsnops in tne coun try, would coat. A Man Twici Eillid. The eastward bound train on the D. and M. Railway, when about five miles this side of Linden, Michigan, day or two ago, ran over a yonng man lying on the traok. splitting his head directly in two, from tne crown to the necx, the front part of the bead being found some ten leet from the body. Subsequent examination of the body discovered a bullet-hole through the shoulder, going to show that the unfortunate young man nod oeen muraerea ana ni oooy aepos ited on the track. . Ah Ardikt Lovxb's Expectations. & youth once fell In love with an heiress, and the passion being returned, it only wanted the Iiarent'S consent to mane mm nappy. At ongth meeting the father, he asked for the daughter's hand. "How much money can you command" gruffly asked tne millionaire, "I can't command much," was the reply. "What are yourexpsotatlonsr" "Well, to tell the truth, I expect to run away with your dauahter and marry her. if yea don't give your consent." The old man oonsented, of course. Cisarjs or Chiha. An official census taken in China twice during the present century, at an Interval of forty years, gives the following results: The first, taken in 1812, by order of the Emperor Kia-Eing, gave the number of inhabitants at 860,279,597; and the second in 1S52, under the reign and by the order of the present Emperor Hien-Foung, 538,090,300. If these accounts be eorreot, and there is nothing to lead to the supposition that they are not, the Chinese population has in forty years in oreaaed 179,629,703.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH SATURDAY EVENING'S DISPATCHES. Very Important from Brownsville. New OaiuANS, Novembes 12. The Delta of this city publishes a letter, dated Corpus Christi, ovoinber 7, which says that it is almost certain that the town of Brownsville has fallen into the hands of Cortinaa. The Mexican flag was flying at a point four miles above the town. All communication had been cut off. The entire population, on both sides of the Rio Grando, was in arms, with the intention of exterminating the Ameri cans, end reconquering the country to the Colorado Riyer. The news is confirmed by the affidavit of citizens of Cameron County, who were obliged to fly for their lives. An other affidavit says that the frontier of the Rio Grande is in a state of war. Cortinas is sustainesby the population. Earnest appeals are made for aid by the Americans. Eighty men were advancing to the relief of Browns ville, but they will have to encounter TOO of Cortinaa'a men. Col. Robort E. Lee succeeds Gen.

A man call ing himeelf McDonald was arrested here last night, on Seventh-street, by Officer Allen, to whom he made such admissions as to lead to the belief that he was one of Brown's party, and had escaped from the Armory at Harper's Ferry. He was disguised, assuming the appearance of an old man. lie said he was originally from Boston. His breast and chest are well peppered witU wounds as from shot.

Judge Douglas is greatly relieved, and the early reoovery of his health is now anticipated. Govbrnob Wiss A3 a Rahd Wbitir. A letter-writer from Richmond gives the follow ing information in regard to Governor Wise's rapidity of penmanship : Governor Wise, in the oharaoter of a aoribe, surpasses, perhaps, any man living. In point of rapidity he can only be paralleled in short-hand, while his writing is almost as legible as print. I had occasion some time ago to copy some writing of his, and I did ao page after page as he produced them. I started when he was about two pages ahead, and though he had to compote while I had merely to oopy, at the close of the tenth page he was still two in advance. At this stage he was oalled off to dinner, and I availed myself of this opportunity to procure a peculiar style of pen, whioh I thought would faeilitato the operation. Ws both set to work sgain simul taneously: and though he stopped occasionally to mend his pen, (he writes with a quill pen,) and now and men walked rapidly around the room, while I meanwhile wrote with all the rapidity of which I was capable, he wound up at the end of the twenty-ninth page with the two pages in sdvanoe which he had at the start. I understand he thinks nothing of answering twenty-live or thirty letters a day, or rather within the three or four hours he apends in his oQioe, besides attending to other duties and receiving visitors, who ooeupy much of his time. What a reporter he would make Total Wsioht; or This Planet. The total weight of the world in gross tuns of 2,210 pounds, aooording to the soalea of Mr. Bailly, President ol the London Astronomical society, is six thousand and sixty-two million, one hundred and sixty-five thousand, five hundred and ninety-two billions, two hundred and eleven thousand, four hundred and ten mil lions, four hundred and eighty-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-nine tuna. Taa Amsricah Bosses ih Eholaho. Mr. Ten Broeck has lately been unlucky on the English turf. Threo of his horses took part in as many races on the Cambridgeshire day of the Newmarket meeting. "Pomona" came in sixth at the first race: "Prioress" was fourth in the race for the Cambridgeshire stakes, and "Starke' was fourth in another race, in which live horses ran. Hialth or Hon. Lihh Botd. This dis tinguished gentleman, who has been spending some time at uooper s wen, in Mississippi, to recuperate hit neaitn, passed through Mem phis on Wednesday last, rrt route for his home in Eentuoky. His health is not yet entirely restored, and it is extremely problematical whether he ever will be able to assume again the duties of active, life. ' Thi Allioid Axtbckdbhts or thi Inscb bbctiohists. Stevens was a soldier in Mexico, mutinied against his captain, was sentenced to bowshot, and afterwards pardoned by President Polk. He went te Eansas in the regular army, and deserted. Coppie behaved ao badly to his benefactor, a Quaker, that he was turned adrift, and Haslatt was eonneoted with a band horse thieves in Pennsylvania.
