slavery in the Molhrra state*,
I Dr. Drake, of Cincinnati, has addressed a series ;
of letters on the slavery question to Dr. Warren, of
Boston, winch are in a ora* of publication m the '
National Intelligencer. In the first lette r he con
tends, from his own observation and experience.
the condition of slaves is fai better than in former ,
tunes. They are better fed, clothed and lodged

i they were forty, thirty, or eren twenty years ago.
\icara;ua—British Intrigues.
An arrival at New Orleans by the steamer Mex
ico from Gravtown, furnishes intelligence to th*
Picayune of some high handed outrages upon the
Americans in Nicaragua, whch are attributed to
i Rntish intrigue*. The feelings of the people of
that'State have undergone an er.tire change to
wards us, and the Americans them have ail been
murdered on the road, an*! the authorities will take
no steps to bring the murderers to justice. The
1 natives will neither buy from noriell to the Am r
(Cans, and several merchants who were doing busi
| ness in the country have been ruined. This state 1
i of things is attributed to the intrig’ es of the English
| consuls at Gravtown aud Realejo.
Jj’ The following extraordinary report we find
in the N. O. Picayune of the 6lh inst. ;
TV Pmmntne f'l**.—'!'J*e examination of M'me

It was proved on th* part of the prosecution

j him that her husband had taken poison. Martin
i went with her to see her husband and found him

the deceased said, “1 au lost, I am poisoned
Medicine was procured and administered to bun.
Afterwards a tailor aud a shoemaker came in, am!
j the tailor asked the deceased how it happened.
He said, as was customary, that he and his wife
j had had a difficulty ; that hts w-:fe had in her pos
session some arsenic. She told him that she loved
I him, aud he said let us prepare a dose of arsenic.
for each of us, and die together. She accepted
i the proposition, and said she was tired of life
Two doses were then prepared by the deceased.
He took up me of them and madt some objections,
when his wife told him he was a coward and
dared not drink it. He then immediately drank
off the portion. The accused said that she had
i procured the arsenic s une time since for rats. At- .
I ter the deceased drank the poison, he said he told
j his wife to go away, and that in a few hour* sh
would be free. The deceased cauie to this coun
try 18 months ago. and, of late, appeared to be
out of bis mind. He frequently came to the house
j of Martin, and said he would not live with his
wife, and that he was -unhappy. He bad fre
quently expressed his intention to destroy himself;
and would go without food for seven or eight days.
He said that his wife pretended to talk in her
sleep, and say that she had other lovers.

the village, where the noose of a lariat swung sig
mfieantly from a tree.
Just at this moment, a man of great influence
with the people of that vicinity attempted to per

As four o’clock approached, the silence of the
mob was broken by deep whispers and hoarse mur

scarcely a doubt of his guilt. J ust be fore the end

The tomb of Moses is unknown, but the traveler

even the great temple of Jerusalem, hallowed by
the visible glory of the De.ty himself, are gone; but
Solomon's reservoirs are s.s perfect as ever. Of the
ancient arcmiecinre of tne mot. t ny, ruo

comm a mis the pilgrUn’* reverence at the prewitt
day. The columns of Persepolis are mouldering
mto dust, but its cistern am! aqueducts remain to
challenge our admiration. Thu golden house of
Nero is a mass of ruins, but the aqua Claudia itill
pours into Home its limpid stream. The temple of
the sun. at Tadmur, in the wilderness, has fallen,
but its fountain sparkles as brightly in his rays as
when thousands of worshippers thronged its lofty
colonades. It may be that London will share the
fate of Babylon, and nothing be left to mark its site
save mounds ol crumbling brickwork; the Thames i
will continue to flow as it does now. And if any
work of art should stilt rise over the deep ocean of
tune, we may well believe that it will be neither a
palace or a temple, but some vast adueduct or 1

antiquity, it will probably be that of a man whom
his day sought the happiness of his fellow men,

Tragical Altair at Cincinnati.
A white man shot by a negro. The negro's
house burnt by a nob. The Cincinnati Atlas of
the 9th mst says:
•'One of the most fearful tragedies it has ever
been our lot to record, occurred last evening on
Columbia stieet between Elm aud Pin in. It seems
that a negro man, whose name we did not learn,
aud who kept a low groggery ou Columbia street,
got into a difficulty with a white laiy, about iugh
teen vears of age, named David M >ns, and finally
a aitu sri'H .U"ril3 III \urr l rjc
wounded i«‘i was carried home, awl died lit > few
minutes. A mob of fifty or one Iiiirelrcii twu snd
bins soon- collected around the negro' 1 hojie, de
termined to take T--n*tanee into their ow n hand*,
for the murder o( M arris. Hut the negro anti bit |
family hail Bed.
The mob commenced breaking the fureitureand
the windows, awl after they h*.i completely dea
troveil every loose thing m the house, they set fire
to the fragments. The house was soon • uveioped
in tlantes and firemen were soon at hand, but, upon
learning the facts of the case, refused to poor water
upon the house until the burning frame was about
to tall, and only then fur the purpose ol satUng the
surrounding buildings. They wailed too mug ami
the result was three other dwellings and one ma
chine shop were consumed. T!*t total Ins* by the
conflagration, is no leas than ♦4,000.
