The most important ntws by this arrival is
the possibility that the purchase of Culm has
been made by our government. We trust the
report may prove true, although we thinli it
highly improbable. The following dispatch, in
relation to the matter, is from the New York
Herald :
Washington, Sept. 14. 1854.
It is whispered about the State Department
and in the White House, that despatches or let
ters have been received from Mr. Soule, our
M blister at -M adrui, ot an arrangement made
with the new government of Spain for the pur
chase ot the Island of Cuba. They came, it is
said, by the Africa. There is no particular ne
cessity for my vouching for these statements in
these slippery diplomatic times- hut my au
thority is good—the very heal for the whisper
at any rate. There is no mistake about that.
What is more, it is said that England and France,
and especially the latter, favor the sale from mo
tives of sound international policy. Strange as
this may appear to those who will not believe
in the purchase of the Queen of the Antilles, I
have an opinion—an individual opinion—that
the purchase has been made. Bin at all events.

Captain Downing, of the navy, whose trial by
court martial took place at Philadelphia some
weeks since, has been cashiered. He was con

The yellow fever was on the increase in New
Orleans. The New York Herald, in si telegraphic
dispatch.dated Sept. 18th. has the following:
The yellow fever is increasing in New Or

which 284 were from the fever.
Tiie deaths at Charleston for the last'wo days

The Utrald. says :We have received full par
ticulars ol (he massacre by the Sioux Indians of
Lieut. Grattan and tiie detatchment of troops
under bis command, near Fort Laramie, a brief
account of which recently reached ns by tele
graph. The painful fact of the destruction of the
entire party is fully confirmed. The chief of the
Sioux received a mortal wound the first dis
charge, and the Lieut, fell dead by the volley
from the Indians in return. Upon the full of
their leader the troops became panic stricken,
and the Sioux tom aha v» ked every mu n hut one,
who effected his escape through the assistance
of one of the hostile savages. The Indians re
fused to allow the dead bodies to be buried. Sub

The Governor of Massachusetts has disbanded
the Bay State Artillery, a military company of
Boston, composed mainly of naturalized Lrish
mti.,for in-iili id mat ion. The difficulty grew
out of u disiurbaime which occurred between
the companies w hich received the Montgomery

the disbanding of an Irish military company in
that Slate.

The Firat Commercial New* from Japan.
It will be recollected that some two or three
months ago, immediately after the receipt of the
success of Commodore Perry at Japan, Mr. Si
las E. Burroughs, one of our prominent mer
chant', fitted ont one of his ships, (the Lady
Pierce,) and having laid in a cargo of presents,
set sail for Jeddo. By the Joveu blimp, from
Hongkong, at which port the Lady Pierce ar
rived just one day before the sailing of the foi
iner, though the arrival is not reported, advices
have been received from Mr. Burroughs, which
give a very flattering account of bis reception.
From a letter received by a gentleman in this
city, we are permitted to make the following
extract. Full advices are expected by the Ste
phen Baldwin, which was to sail two days after
the Joven Jdhnp.— [.S'. F. Herald.
“ Hongkong, August 15th, 1854.
“Dear : We arrived here yesterday, in
twenty days from Japan, all well, and have
made one of the most successful visits to that
country on record. We received more courtesy,
attention and hospitality, without guns and fight
ing men, than Com. Perry's squadron with their
force. I did us f pleased iu Jeddo, being with
out any restriction, and have received from the
Emperor a great variety of beautiful presents
They were perfectly amazed and charmed at my
having brought to the country the shipwrecked
Japanese, Du-zo-no-skee, who is the first one of
that people ever returned from foreign lands.
The Japanese Com. Perry took with him were
not received, and all of the American officers
were of the opinio that none would bo allowed
to return. When I related our visit, and the re
ception of Du-zo-no-skee, and nil the honors ex
tended to me, they were surprised.
" You can have no idea of the reception—
there were near 3000 in, and along side the Lady
Pierce al a time. The Japanese said they were
much more pleased with my visit than that of
Com. Perry, who had too many guns. They
were poor—they had no guns —and did not like
too see them in Japan. They said the Emperor
ordered that I should have all, in every way. that
Com. Perry received. No guard was placed on
the Lady Pierce, or restrictions on me, and I
landed when and where I pleased.”
From thk Sandwich Islands.—By the arri
val of the clipper Lady Jane at San Francisco,
we have dates from these Islands to the 14th
Sept.
Considerable excitement wascaused at Hono
lulu, while the clipper schooner Lady Jane was
being discharged at the wharf by Kanakas.who,
in landing a heavy box. stove off a hoard acci
dentally. which showed to their astonished gaze
its contents—old pistols and cutlasses. The cir
cumstance was immediately reported about
town, and it was currently rumored in addition
that a bund of fiilibusters had arrived from Cal
ifornia on the steamer Peytonia and Lady Jane.
The authorities placed a guard oftoldiers about
the vessel, fired signal guns, the Hawaiian army
assembled at Hie Palace, and die Governor's
Guards were ordered out and kept under arms
all night, and the box was safely conveyed to
the custom house lock up.
A correspondent at Lahaina, under dale of
Sept. slh, writes as follows:
“If any of yon r farmer* can beat this, k-l
them speak out. I have just eaten corn which
grew ,iu the garden of Consul Chase, of this
place, the seed of which grew by the St. Croix
river in Maine, and left New Y'ork on the 20th
of May last! Only three months and a half since
seed corn was shipped from New York to Laha
ina, traversed two oceans, been planted, and
the crop gathered!”
Long proverb has it, that “ tall
oaks from little acorns grow ” —it this be so, the
natural presumption is, that a huge specimen of
this oval nut. by being planted will shoot even
higher into the upper air. On onr table lies an
acorn plucked from a mountain oak, whicli meas
ures latitudinally twoinches and five-eights, and
longitudinally five inches and a half. It looks as
if it would furnish a meal for an ordinarily sized
Digged family.

NUMBER 33.
latest New* tVons Europe.
Cy the arrival of (he Atlantic at New York on
the iyill ult., vve have news from 'England up
to the 6th September. We quote from the Cal
ifornia Chronicle:
The principal intelligence relates, of course,
to the war between Russia and the allied
powers, but seems of little importance. It was
generally believed in .London that the expedi
tion to the Crimea had sailed on the iltilh August,
although some reports had assigned the 30th its
the probable date of its departure. The expe
ditionary force would he less by ten thousand
men than was originally elated, and it would in
clude about twenty thousand Turkish troops. —
The London Times, in reply to the,minors that
prevailed as to certain dijdomntic motives having
retarded the departure of the expedition, asserts
that the delay arose exclusivciv from obstacles
of a purely military nature. If this should ho
really the case, it.confirms the statements made
some time ago, respecting tile defective admin
istration of the French ordinance and commis
sariat departments, for with the latter it was be
lieved the difficulties principally lay. Great
complaints had also been made with regard to
the imperfect arrangements of the English com
missariat; but it was nevertheless represented
as being in a much better state of organization
than that of the French army.
The allied powers had decided to abandon
Bomarsund. Admiral Ifiapier and .Marshal D’Mil
liers blew up and destroyed the fortifications of
Mango, in sight of the Russians. The Turks and
Russians bad a great battle at Kais, where 4U.-
■ 000 nun and 150 guns were engaged. The
former abandoned their camp, which was occu
pied by the Russians.
'J'he German papers speak of a new treaty
and a modification of existing ones, which would
have the etfect of approximating moreclosrlv
the interests of the German States and those of
lire coalition; but there was an intentional
vagueness in ail these newspaper rumors, which
afforded reasonable ground for distrusting them.
An idea was still entertained of there being a
disposition on the part of Russia to treat for
peace, and there were circumstances that had
given rise to a rumor that the rupture between
Austria and Russia was nut as proximate us had
been supposed.
The allies, it was said, had offered a large sub
sidy to Sweden, it she would afford them active
co-operation. In the popular branch of the Diet
a strong feeling had been manifested in favor of
the latter Rower resuming her rights over the
Aland Isles.
In Spain, the Government seemed to haw
been tailing energetic steps to repress the repub
lican movement. A decree had been issued
suppressing the provincial juntas and the forces
organized by them. The Government had bor
rowed sixty-five millions of reals, secured on
the revenue of Cuba. Queen Cristina’s property
bad been confiscated, and her expulsion from
the country decreed.
A Railroad Dinner Rartv. —The Directors
of the German Railroads met at Baden, during
the past season, to deliberate on matters con
nected with their lines, and before separating
had a dinner, of which a correspondent of the
New York Courier and F.nrpurer thus speaks :
“ The guests, to tho number of one hundred
and thirty-seven, were seated at a long table,
which, by an ingenious allegory, represented a
railway with a double truck. At a signal given
immediately after the soup, a locomotive ap
peared upon the table, to which was attached a
train loaded with dishes of the choicest and
most solid food. The succulent train advanced
slowly, in imitation of the passenger train upon
all German roads. After having made a tour of
the table without stopping, in order to give a
view of the good things with which it was
freighted, tho train again started, making u sta
tion in front of each guest, and permitting him
to fill his plate according to his appetite and
fancy. The trains followed each other in con
stant succession for two or three hours, depart
ing each time well loaded with comestibles, and
always returning empty to the depot. The din
ner was us magnificent as it was copious, and
gave u favorable idea of the culinary art in Ger
many.
Citizen’s Line. —The Marysville Express savs
that $15,080 was raised in that place on Monday
for the Citizcn’t Line, to avoid the necessity of
its going into the possession of the California
Steam Navigation Company.
Cuba and Sugar. — The Albany Evening
Journal says, Cuba produces about .TJO.OOO ton*

ty There lias been an unusual lumber of
felons during ihe past few month*, which has
induced us to publish the following recipe,
which is said to be an unfailing cure:
As soon as the pain is felt, take the thin white
skin of an egg,which is found inside of the shell;
put it round the eud of the finger or thumb af
fect’d. and keep it there until the pain subside*.
As soon as the skin becomes dry, it will be vorv
painful, and likely to continue lor hall an .hour
or more; hut be not alarmed. If it grows pain
ful, bear it; it will be ol short duration com
pared to what the disease would be. A cure
will be certain. —Marysville Express.
