41 party or embarrass a judicial proceeding, as an attachment, execution or replevin, which are is huablo by the clerk upon an affidavit or precipao. Nor may it work bo much injustice by merely restraining the action of a party for a time, as the other writs, which in their nature sweep from him his secured lien. Upon the writ of attachment the officer attaches goods and retains them in possession to satisfy the plaintiff's de mand, or delivers them to the defendant on his bond. Upon an execution the officer makes sale uDon replevin ho delivers tho goods to the plain! iff on his giving bond for a return or the value with damages, without any judgment of a court on the question of title or any inquisition by the officer, or writ de proyrielala probanda. The party or person obtaining possession by process of law has the legal possession. The possession of the party served with tho process is transferred to him and the security of the original plaintiff in the goods is gone. Lowry vs. Hall, 2 Watts and Sergt. 129, Morris vs. Do Witt 5 wend. 71. The pendency of a replevin in a State Court to settle tho right of property in a vessel is a bar to a libel in the admiralty, to settle the same right between the same parties ; not technically a bar as a pica of lis pendens, but effectively so to prevent conflict of jurisdiction.

Mr. E Forest performed Damon, at the Walnut street Theatre. Philadelphia, on Monday evening. At the end of the last act, being called before the curtain, ho sopko as follows : How can I thank you, ladies and gentlemen said he, lor that welcome! And such a welcome For the array of beauty and this mighty throng To be thus welcomed back to the home of my youth, by tho friend3 of my youth by those who saw ray first foot prints in tho arena of my profession, and who lured me on by their inspi ing smiles by those who stood by me in tho Ktruggles of my boyhood, and who did not de sert me in the severer and darker struggles of my manhood. Of such a welcome any man in any condition of life might well be proud; and I am proud of it, because it is the vindication of my character by those who know me best, from the base assertions and purchased perjuries of my enemies. Rut I begun tho question how am I to thank you for tho brilliant and enthusiastic welcome you have given me to-night? That question still remains unanswered, and must forever re main so : for my tongue can never make the re sponse. But believe me, ladies and gentlemen tins heart eloquently, though silently, 'will for ever acknowledge its indebtedness. Robbery by Chloroform. There i3 little doubt that the use of Chloroform as a means of committing robbery, is becoming common; a glaring instance of it occurred a few days since in this city, in tho robbery of Keveny & Collins' clothing store, and we find tho following in the New York Star of tho 14th : " On Sunday mor mng, between the hours ot Sand 3 o clock, whil three men by tho names of Richard Leavitt, Jo sian raui ana uiana r rencn were asleep on board tho brig Ellis, lying at Pier No. 10 East T, f f . n ... juver, some aanng rogue or rogues iorcioiy en. tered the eabin of said vessel.

Tho rapid Progress of the Upper Peninsula country, during the past four or five years, has been the theme ot frequent congratulation among our citizens, and none the less with the inhabitants of the lower Peninsula, than the dwellers upon the distant shores of the mighty "father of Lakes, Superior. Tho boundless resources of that region, and tho energy and industry of the settlers who are now engaged il . i . i i in meir aeveiopmeni, nave Deen mo uojeci. oi eager interest to tho people of tho entire ITnion ever sinco public attention has been directed thitherward. Numerous exploring parties have been on tho ground during tho present and the last summer, and all return to their far eastern homes with expanded ideas of tho boundless wealth of the mineral region, and the vast am ount of labor requisite fully to bring them to light. One of the most efiicient means, ot at tracting the attention of tho enterprise and cap ital of the older States of the country, to this new theatre of action, has been the efficient newspaper press which was a year or two since established at the foot of the St. Mary rapids, under the name of the Lake Svperior Journal. Ably conductedby its enterprising and judicious proprietor, its columns have afforded a fund of ri. i! i ...i.-.ii. : interesting unu vaiuaoie lniormauuu respecting the mining on Lake Superior, which has aston ished and gratified every one who has been so fortunate as to meet with this entertaining sheet. From its last issue we clip tho following latest intelligence from the mines : Det. F. Press. 44 At Marquette several buildings have gone up during the summer and considerable land has been cleared up. The Marquette Iron works ore in full blast, turning out from their four fires about four tons a day of excellent bloom iron. They have four more fires to open as soon as they can supply them with ore. 44 Messrs. Laton, of the Jackson Iron compa ny are prosecuting their business of making iron with energy, and are sending down to the lake several tons a day of blooms, and will have a large shipment to make this fall. Mr. Burt has nearly completed his extensive dam across Carp River, preparatory to the erection of a saw mill and blooming furnaces. Everything about Marquette looks neat, and wo doubt not the village will continue to grow up with many new attractions 44 Copper Harbor is fast filling up withinhab itants and most of the old buildings are re-occu pied. A Post Office has been re-established at thi3 point, and the promising appearance of tho mines in tho vicinity will soon make this a placo of business. Possessing such a fine, ca pacious harbor, it has superior advantages. 44 J hero is no spot on the lakes that equals in romantic beauty, the gronnd3 and lako scenery around Fort Wilkins. On the north side is the bay-like harbor and the entrance to the grand old lake; on the south side isrannylloc, i perfect gem of a lake, set in emerald of ever green forests. Sweet groves of fir, spruce and tamarack, throw their branches and shade invi ting walks to tho east and to the west, leading " Midst rustling leaves and fountains murmuring." 44 We hear tho whole establishment is soon to bo sold to the highest bidder, and wo hopo who ever buys will fit it up for an Invalid's Retreat. Now that the salubriousness of the Lake Supe rior climate is beginning to bo understood, from the hundreds who have, within a few years past learned it from actual experience, if the con sumptive and debilitated subjects do not speed ily recover here, they need not travel farther in search of health. 44 Lagle Harbor has increased very rapidly in population and business during the past sum mer. A large number of the village lots have been bought by new residents, and a town is springing up under tho shade of the fine old pines. The location is beautiful, and it will be a desirable place for business men and pleasure residents on accoant of its natural advantage and attractions. The Eagle Harbor company own a largo tract of ground about the harbor, embracing both mineral and agricultural lands and they are now having it explored under the superintendence of Mr. Coe, with a view to the commencement of mining operations. We are informed that veins have been discovered on the mineral range adjoining the Copper Falls mine 44 At Eagle River several fine buildings have Deen erected on tho east side of the river ; con spicuous among tho number are tho stores of Messrs. John feenter and Simon Mandlebaum These buildings have been put up under the su perintendence of J. Atwood, and they are un doubtedly tho best constructed and finished of any stores north-west of Detroit. Mr. Atwood is now engaged at a large hotel, which is being built by an association of individuals, and which will bo ready for the next spring s business. At the mouth of the Ontonagon, very exten sive improvements nave been made this seoson River street has been lined with a handsome row of fine residences, two stories in height and located and built with taste and style. town plat has been laid out, and buildings are going up in every direction, and it has already ujo upperauce oi a mnving town. 44 This is a splendid location, and all the busi ness of the numerous mines of the Ontonagon centering at this place, it cannot fail in becom ing an important point. A steam saw mill has lately been completed, and under the able su perintendence of Capt. Parker, is turning out lumber at a rapid rate, for the wants of tho growing town. The Ontonagon River is navi gablo for light draft boats about 15 miles, and a steamboat is now building at Cleveland, by D. S. Cash, Esq., of Ontonagon, to ply on this stream. There are several interesting rapids, and the scenery along the river is truly magnifi cent, and worth going from Hudson to see. Intelligence was received at the South Fore land, at C P.

The London Observer states that nearly four millions and a half of persons have already vis ited the Crystal Palace, and tho amount receiv cd for admission is little short of 400,000. Tho submarine telegraph is laid to within 3 miles and a half of tho French coast, where the Blazer is anchored.

GRAND IIAVKltf, MlCIIIOANi WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 29, 1831. Vor Governor, , Robert McClelland. For Lieutenant Governor, CALVIN BRITAIN. In less than one week from this day the election takes place ; we hope tho democ racy of this county will not stop short of doing their whole duty. Let Ottawa County show up her usual democratic majority it may bo in the power of the democratic party of this county to save the Stato from tho evil of one year of whig misrule. Therefore it behooves all that are in favor of" correct principles, a faithful and impartial administration of the State Gov ernment, to be at the polls and vote for McClel land and Britain. We have a ticket that we may well bo proud ofour candidates for Gov ernor and Lieutenant Governor, are of the right stamp, capable, faithful and honest they have been tried and were found not wanting. Again we say, fellow democrats arouse, awavke, be on hand with your own vote, and bring up all you can with you it will be time enough to rest when you know that every democratic vote in your town has been deposited in the ballot box. Let us follow the brilliant example set by the democracy of Ohio and Pennsylvania; if we imitate their zeal, Michigan whiggery will sufier worse than a Waterloo defeat. Let us remem ber that a good deal depends upon our success at the coming election ; it Is the last chance wo shall have to strike at our opponents through the ballot box, before the next Presidential Con vention. If wo do well now, Michigan will bo honored by the selection and tho privilege of furnishing the next President. Z3f Our quiet little village has been cursed with the presence and baneful influence of a regular rough and rowdy theatrical company, that have been perambulating the State. Wo feel grateful to thoso in authority for closing all the halls against them. When they found they couid have no place to play here, the man agers gave vent to their spleen, by wishing far better men than themselves in that place where they aro pretty sure to go. We find at the head of this strolling company, men who have professed to wear the ministerial garb men who have professed to have a call to reclaim the wicked and call them to repentance. We have very lately heard them blustering and bul lying, accompanied with threats to throw a father into the river, for simply claiming a child, a little girl aged fourteen years from them ; she had been seduced by flattering prom ises from parents and home, for what to travel and tramp the road to ruin ! We are sorry that tho father here alluded to, was not possessed of the same feeling of the one that found his little girl with a strolling band of players in England, last spring. The first impulse with him, and the first thing ho done, after finding his long lost child, was to kill tho leader of the gang, and after a fair trial under tho severe sys tem and construction of an old English law court, this father was acquitted by the Jury without leaving their seats. Tho two cases of child stealing aro not dissimilar. This company have been praised and exalted as far toward tho skies, as the orisons of some of the papers that spoke of them, could or can ascend. This company have been recommend ed, as the right ono to establish on a firm basi3 "The Moral, Legitimate Drama," of tho age. If it is necessary to seduce children from their parents and completely break up families, in or der to establish this much talked of drama then we say hold on! Pause and think wheth er a set of Mormon mountebanks should bo encouraged as this company have been in their progress to this place. They have left this State, and wo indulge the hope, that if they ev er return to it, and make application for a foot hold to exhibit their immoralities, it will be de nied them as it was here. 2f What has become of our Couoty Ag ncuiturai society i oome time last summer we saw a list of articles in tho Grand River Eagle, upon which premiums would bo given at the annual fair, the term of holding which wo suppose is near at hand. Wo have heard nothing officially as yet, as to the time or place of holding lho fair. We hope tho officers of this society, through remissness of duty will not suffer this useful association to blast in tho bud. The urana liner Times would rejoice at the privilego of being tho medium througl which any thing important to the interests of the Society or the benefit of any engaged in agricultural pursuits, might bo circulated. 157" The Board of Supervisors closed their session in this county in good time, after trans acting a largo amount of important business Wo wero well pleased with the actions and do ings of the gentlemen composing the Board they look well to the interests of the tax pay ers. May we never have a Board for the coun ty composed of worse men. Election tickets can be had at this of fice, for all tho towns in the County. We hope those having an opportunity to send for a sup ply will improve it, and save tho County Com mittee tho expense of sending a messenger on purpose for them. Hon- Lkwis Cass, will accept our IliMik.H for a valuable public doeunient. Movements of Kossuth. The arrival of the Mississippi, with Kossuth on board, was anxiously looked for in England, thfc'ngh it was reported she-had sailed direct tor New lork from Marseilles. On the arrival of Kossuth In the Dardanelles, the cnotain of the Mississippi went on board the Turkish vessel, aud placed his ship at the dis posal of tho exiles, at the same time presenting $15,000 to their leader in the nameof tho Am- encan Liovernment. Alter naving solemnly promised the Turkish commissaries to go di rect to America. Kossuth wanted to take a Hungarian flag with him into tho American ves sel, but this was objected to by the Turks. When all the refugees were safely on board Kossuth made a speech, In which Lord Palmer ston and the Americans were not forgotten, and soon after the Mississippi started on her voy age. At Spezzia, where the Mississippi arrived, Sept. 22d, tho moment it was known that Kos suth was on board, the town was illuminated, guns and rockets wcro fired, and a number of boats decorated with flags, surrounded the Am erican ship, which they saluted with vivals. The band of the garrison accompanied them. The American Commodore, who was at the baths of Lucca, hastened to Spezzia to congratulate the illustrious guest. While the Misissippl was lying at Genoa, Kossuth requested leave of the Sardinian gov eminent to rest for a few minutes on Piedmon tes ground. The government replied that it did not wish to oppose the slightest obstacle to his stay, but in tho present state of its rela tions with neighboring powers it would be mind ful of the inconvenience that might result there from, and would leavo it to their discretion to decide whether, under such circumstances, Mr. Kossuth ought or ought not to invoke the hos pitalities of tho Piecmontese. This reply was opposed by able and influential parties, but Kossuth did not land. It is said tho French Government refused to permit Kossuth and his companions to pass through France, from, Marseilles, from a desire to act in accordance with the wishes of Austria and Prussia. The liberation of Kossuth and his compan ons has led to a somewhat superfluous ceremo ny at Pesth. On tho Oth of January, 1850, 3G Hungarian revolutionary leaders were summon ed before the court matial then sitting in the capital of the province. Ou the 22d inst. they wevo all condemned in co untumaciam and hang ed in cfligy; that is a black board, with the 36 names inscribed thereon in white letters, was afJixcd to the gallows. The excitement at Southampton respecting the arrival there of Kossuth and his compan ions, continues unabated. He was expected about the Glh or 7th inst. It is arranged that upon fiie occasion of his being presented with an address by the city of London, he will pro ceed to the Guild Hall in an open carriage with jord Dudley Stewart. Immigrants. A large party of German im migrant.?; bound tor lake bupenor.came up on the Northerner, last trip; they were uncommon ly well dressed and respectable in their appear ance, and. we are glad to see tins inausiiious rlass of people coming to this part of the coun try, and a better section they could not find in tho Unitud States. The climate is proverbial for its healthful ness, and the soil is of the best quality for agricultural purposes, and being in the vicinity of the richest copper and iron mines in the world, they will always have a ready and favorable market for their produce. Considerable agricultural land has been pur. chased the present season aud some good farms commenced in various parts of the country, and as soon as the great value ot this mining and agricultural locality is known abroad, there will be no lack of farmers in so rich a field. We believe every acre of land cleared will pay the first year, the entire expense of clearing and cultivating. This must be the case for moiny years to come, where the mining interest is of me ctnei importance ana so many, ai nigu price, in that business. Miners as a class know little or nothing about farming, and their wants have to be supplied by farmers somewhere. At pres ent these supplies come from Cleveland and Detroit at a great expense. Lake Superior Journal. New- Orleans, Oct. 20. News from Mexico of most exciting charac ter. On the 10th Carabajal was within 10 miles of Matamoras, with a largo force, not less 10, 000 men with about 400 Texan Rangers. It was expected he would attack the city on the following morning, the 17th. One of tho Tex an companies was lately discharged front tho U. S. army. Lxcitement in northern Mexico was intense and increasing rapidly. Intelligence from the city ot Mexico rays that everything in connection with the Government is in the most abject condition, and it is almost impossible, on constitutional questions., to get a quorum of tho Departments together. Albany, Oct. 20. Judge Conklin has decided that the Syracuse rioters were guilty of a misdemeanor, and they were held to bail to appear at the next session of the U. S. Court, and stand trial. New York, Oct. 20. Last night, when the train from Philadelphia was within about a mile from Hackensac bridge, it came in contact with some cattle, by which the engine was thrown off the track, ancl two or three cars smashed. Baltimore, Oct. 19. : Mr. Webster is expected to reach Washing ton on Tuesday, where very important business awaits his arrival.

The New York Ex .i i . -L- . j press, in an arneie on me eapeciru urrivm ui Kossuth, relates the following incident, illustra tive of the devotion of his wife to ber husband after being exiled to Turkey : 44 With him comes his herow wife, who rter his exile commenced in Turkey with incredible sacrifices and devoted disregard to a thousand dangers, traversed hostile territories, submitted to deprivations and underwent sufferings of ev ery kind, joined him at his retreat, by the foot of Mount Olympus. It was under the protect ion of a passport from the British Consul Gen eral, at Belgrade, that as British subjects, under assumed names, she and her companions were enabled to accomplish this great adventure, and when, on the twenty-eighth day, a courier was sent in advance of them to apprise Kossuth of their approach to Shumla (he was jll,tind on account of the many plans of the Austrians to assassinate him, the Sultan's authorities would not allow him to leave Shumla, and go to meet his wife) the news of her deliverance and her approach occassioped the liveliest satisfaction to all the refugees; and tho Hungarians and Poles went as far as the gates of the city to meet this heroic martyr of tho cause of Hungary. It wns night when the carriage neared the city ; and a it entered tho gates, she found the streets light ed with hundreds of lights, green, white and red, the colors of the Hungarian flag, and was wel comed with the most friendly shouts from tho -whole body of the refugees. And the account from which we have quoted goes on to say: , 44 When Madame Kossuth descended from her carriage, she found herself in the presence of ' her husband, who had risen from his bed of ill ness to receive tho poor 4 Maria F n, of the plains of Hungary. In placo of, receiving her in his arms, M. Kossuth, overcomo by feel ings of admiration for the sufferings which hi wifo had undergone, and by gratitude for the devotion to the cause of her country, threw him- self at her feet and kissed them. She endeav ored to spenk and offer her husband consolation and tranquility, while her own poor feeble heart was ready to burst with emotion. Her. voice failed her, and amid the reiterated shouts of tho Hungarians and Poles, this heroic woman was carried to her husband's apartments." ' In our rejoicings, therefore, at the liberation and the coming hither of the great patriot, let us not forget tho heroic adventures of his noble wife, and let the same interest which the British Consul at Belgrade, and the united population of Shumla displayed in her success, tho same re- spect for her virtue, the fame joy at her happi- ness, be maifested by the fathers and sons, the brothers and husband of American women. Washington, Oct. 22; A communication was recently addressed to' our Government, by Lord Palmerston, relatives to tho expeditions alleged to have been fitted-1 out against Cuba, in violation of the spirit of." our treaty stipulations with Spain ; this was an- swered by Mr. Crittenden, Acting Secretary of t State, in a paper remarkable for its dignity nnd I high American tone, intimating, in very plain terms, that England had better attend to her own affairs." This reply will probably tend to prevent nil I further interference, and teach foreign powers what to expect in meddling with our govern ment.' .... Hon. II. L. Bulwer returned from the British mission here. He expected to receive an Euro pean appointment. California election democratic triumph. So far as heard, the Whig candidate, (Read ing,) is 250 ahead, with five counties to hear from. The official vote will settle the result, which, by the latest intelligence, was in doubt. Tho Whigs have elected two State Senators and the Democrats eleven. One whig and five democratic Senators hold over. The Senate consists of 28 members. To the assembly, 14 Whigs, 28 democrats, and two independents have been elected. The house consists of 63 members, of which 32 is a majority. The coun ties to be heard from will give the Democrats a large majority. The party will then have both branches of the Legislature, and the election of the United States Senator will rest with them.. A most terrific storm occurred last week on' the Island of Prince Edward, by. which a very large number of fishing vessels were lost, with their crews. They mostly belonged to Glou cester and other ports around Massachusetts, bay, and great distress is spread into hundreds of families, either for known bereavement, or tho terrible uncertainty which still remains.- Many vessels Bank with ull hands on board. Some accounts state that the number lost is be tween three and four hundred Over ono hun dred dead bodies have been washed ashore from the wrecks. The latest reports are more favor able than those first received. Independent, Oct. 11. From the Cape of Good Hope. News 33 days later has been received from tho Cape of Good Hope. By this arrival we learn that thero is some prospect of the Caffre war being bro't to a close; that reinforcements of troops had arrived, and that Sir Henry Smith, the Gover nor, was in excellent spirits. In the mean time however, the Caffres and Hotcntots continued making sad havoc on the settlements, and the people wero suffering from a lack of provisions, and cattle nnd stock were starving to death.
