BALTIMORE, October 14, 1858.
We have to note another very dull day in the
Stock market, the sales falling short of $15,000.
Although there appears to be no disposition on the
part of capitalists to invest their means, the mar
ket continues firm, and Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road further advanced to-day about 50 cents per
share. The sales of this stork comprised IS9 shares
at sr>s%ft)ssK% regular way, and $58% buyer 30
days, closing at SSBJ # bid, $58% asked cash. Wc
are still without any transactions to report in
Northern Central; the closing rates were $20% bid,
$21% asked regular way, % lower than yesterday.
Canton advanced about %, but there were no sales
effected, $20% being bid with s2l asked. Balti
more city 6's sold at yesterday's price, $1250 bring
ing 08%. Wc have no change to note in railroad
bonds. /The operations to-day include only S6OO Bal
timore and Ohio 18C7's at 01% and $2,500 Northern
Central 1885's at CB.
The market for fancies at New \oi k to-day was
better and a general improvement is observable. —
Erie advanced %; New A ork Central %; Reading
Cleveland and Toledo 1; Rock Island %; Michi
gan Southern %, and Harlem %.
The demand for Treasury Notes continues to be
good, and holders are firm. The 4% per cents, have
been sold at % premium, and the 4% per cents, at
% premium. Of the Three per cents, some $30,000
sold at % per cent, discount. Application has been
made to Mr. Cobb for about a million of the Notes,
which have been paid into the Custom House, if he
wishes to re-issue them, at par for 4% per cents.
We notice a private sale of about SIOO,OOO of the
new Government 5 per cents, at 104. It is held to
day at 104%.
Ten thousand dollars of the acceptance of Messrs.
Lawrence, Stone & Co., with the Bay State indorse
ment, were sold at auction in Boston, a few days
since, for 50%. Subsequently $45,000 of the same
paper, held by one of the Boston banks, was sold at
private sale for 50 per cent.

ihJarrival CATTLE MARKET, Oct. 13.— BEEVES.
vT uite - 1S °f Beef Cattle for this week's market have
Lirge, being nearly 500 head in excess of the
.Vl-iVus'week's supply. The quality of the cattle offer
ing is generally very good, and shows a marked improve
ment over the supply for a few weeks past. The day
opened rather unpropitiously for business, the stormy ap
pearanoe of the weather leading nearly all to expect but
a slim attendance; contrary to the expectation, however,
buyers began to make their appearance in considerable
numbers, and during a good portion of the day, there
was quite a number present. Prices are firm, and
show but little variation from those of last week
The increase in the supply did not have an in
jurious effect on prices, as might he supposed,
buyers being always ready to take advantage of
such a state of the market to reduce their offers. An ac
tive demand, and the superior quality of the cattle.de
prived them of any opportunity, and gave owners of cat
tle the advantage, which was maintained to the close.—
Most of the sales were made at prices ranging from B#@
9 cents, but a good many sales were made as high as 10
cents. A few very inferior cattle were disposed of at 7(5}
7# cents. About one fourth of the supply are New York
State cattle —the number from this State being 1.100
head. It, with Illinois and Ohio, furnishes fully two
thirds of the whole supply. The business at Bergen was
very small, only 250 head having been sold. Prices re
main without change of importance.
MILCH COWS —Continue very dull, the demand being ex
tremely small. Prices remain without change at $20(5}55,
as to quality.
VEALS —Are in good supply, with arrivals not in excess
of the demand. Prices are unchanged, and are quite firm
at last week's quotations
SHEEP AND LAMBS. —The arrivals this week are very
large, amounting to over 16,000 head. The supply, how
ever, is not much larger than usual, as the excess is caused
by a portion of the supply intended for last week's market
being delayed on the way. The demand is fair, and prices
remain without change at $2.50(5 6.
SWINE. —The supply is not large, and the enquiry is only
moderate. Prices are drooping, and the market somewhat
easier.

CINCINNATI MARKET, Oct. 13 —FLOUR— The unset
tled state of the market, for this article, noticed in our
last, has continued to exist the past week, and though
holders have made large concessions, from the prices cur
re"t\ yet bu yers have, as a general thing,
withdrawn from the market The large decline in New

I>er nwntat IliSSrl fif f neral sur P rise an(l hitter disap
♦ onApi.i nvprfo- y tbe prices previously cur-
IToiifnflour advance. The decline
in Ohio flour in JNew \ork,the past week has been fullv
60c. per bbl., and even at the decline the demand ts hmit
Ed and local. In this market, we cannot say that holders
are pressing their stock on the market, because if they did
the article would at once go down to $4 per bbl. The sales,
however, have been confined to the pressing wants of lo
cal dealers and the city bakers, at prices ranging from
$4.50 to $4.00 for good to choice superfine, and $4.05 to
$4.90 for extra, the latter rate for white wheat, closing
dull and heavy at these rates, with a limited local de
mand. The imports, the past week, were 14,730 bbls. and
the exports 13,981 <!<>.
WHISKEY.—A further decline has been established, with
a dull and heavy market The current rate each day has
been as follows: Wednesday 19; Thursday and Friday
IS#; and Saturday, Monday and yesterday is cts., closing
with a moderate demand at this rate.
PROVISIONS.- The feeling in the market during the past
week has been rather better; there has been a fair demand
for IJacon, Bulk Meat and Mess Pork, from the East, and
this, together with the active demand for Hogs for future
delivery, at prices above those of Pork and Bacon, gives
confidence to both buyers and sellers, sj that we must
call the market very firm, with an unusually good de
mand for the seaon. The stocks are being rapidly re
duced. The transactions during the week were as follows:
In Bacon, Wednesday, 2; 000 pieces plain llurns, salt
petre. at 10 cents at Madison, packages included.
Thursday. 10 hhds. sides at 8 cents.
Friday, 40 hhds. Shoulders, at 5.% cents.
Saturday. 50 hhds. Shoulders at the same rate, and *25
do. Sides at 7# cents.
Monday. 20 hhds. Shoulders at 5% cents, and 30 do.
Sides at 7% cents.
Tuesday, (yesterday.) 100 hhds. Sides at 7% cents, and
10 do. Shoulders at 5% cents, closing with a fair but not
very active demand at these rates, and holders generally
asking 0 and 8 cents.
In Mess Pork, Thursday, 200 bbls at $15.25 Monday.
800 do at sls; and yesterday 250 do. at the same rate. —
All city brands.
In Bulk Meat 15 hhds. Shoulders at scents, packed Fri
day 50 do. at 5 # cents do; 100,000 lbs. heavy sides for clear
ing at 7% cents, loose, in three lots. Saturday, 25 hhds.
Shoulders; and yesterday 10 hhds. Shoulders, packed, at
5# ce.its. There was a good demand for Shoulders at the
close at 5# cents, packed, and for Shies at7(t/7% cents,
loose, the latter for those large enoijfch to clear, and the
former for medium size for smoking.
In Lard about 700 bbls. sold at 10 cents, but at the close
the market was dull at this rate.
INSPECTION OF FISH IX ALEXANDRIA—TRADE
IN FISH. —In 1856, Mr. McLean, the Inspector of this city,
inspected 9,226 barrels of Potomac Herring, including a
few Shad. In 1857,1.186 barrels of Potomac Hering.and
6,940 from the British Provinces called eastern herring.
In 1858 to the present time, 1.361 barrels of Potomac Her
ring and 4,161 barrels of eastern herring.
All herrings or fish ofany kind that come from the other
States, undergo no inspection here unless demanded by
the buyers, which is not often the case Large quantities
are thus brought from Boston, New York and Baltimore,
principally by the former city. Some come also from
Maine.
The inspections in 1856, of Potomac Herring was the
largest for many years.
The inspection here of eastern fish during 1857 and 1858,
are the largest for many years—owing, donbtless, to the
failures of the Potomac fisheries.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, communicating
the position of two points of rock southwest of the light
house near New Haven, Conn., as determined by Lieut.
Commanding W. G. Temple, U. S N., Assistant in the
Coast Survey.
COAST SURVEY STATION NEAR BANGOR. ME ,)
September 13th, 1858. I
SIR —I have the honor to communicate, for the benefit
of navigation and for the information of the Light-house
Board, tlie following extracts from a report by Lieut.Com
manding W. G. Temple, U. S. X., Assistant in Coast Sur
vey, in charge of the steamer 44 Corwin," on an examina
tion for a rock reported to exist in tlie vicinity of New Ha
ven, Conn.:
"Agreeably to your instructions of June 19th and 25th,
1 stopped at New Haven to search for a rock reported by
the pilots as not laid down upon the published charts, and
1 have now to submit the following report:
At a distance of exactly one mile and a half (1%) nau
tical mile due SW by compass from the Lighthouse, there
are two sharp-pointed rocks, lying some ten (10) yards
apart, and having but twelve and a half (12%) feet of wa
ter on them at low tide, or when reduced to the plane of
reference of the published chart, all around them is to be
found from seventeen (17) to nineteen and a half (19%)
feet.
I would recommend that a striped buoy be placed on tlie
spot, which can be accurately pointed out by tlie pilots by
means of cross ranges, which I selected and showed
them.
1 would also recommend that a black buoy be placed on
the eleven (11) feet shoal, which lies about three quarters
(% )of a mile to the northward of these rocks.
Both of these buoys are much needed for safe naviga
tion.*'
I propose to call these rocks "Lurid ington Rocks," after
the pilot who called attention to them; and would re
spectfully request authority to publish this in the usual
form as a notice to mariners, and that a copy of it may be
transmitted to the Light-House Board. I am indebted to
G. TV. Blunt, Esq., for the information which led to this
examination.
Very respectfully yours.

WASHINGTON, Oct.. 14.—General Jerez to-dav had !
a long interview with Secretary Cass. Xotwith- !
standing that he had previously reported that he I
had full power to ratify the Cass-Yrisarri treaty
and to linn 11 y arrange all matters pertaining thereto
without the necessity of referring it back to Nica
ragua, it appears, from the official document first
submitted by him to the State Department, and of
which a translation was immediately made, that he
is empowered only to act, "in order that the
amendments made by the assembly of Nicaragua to
the Treaty, may be substantially carried into ef
fect." This is the language employed, but it is not
considered sufficient to meet the demand of our j
government. The Secretary of State will have ;
a consultation with the President on the subject :
to-morrow, and Gen. Jerez will soon thereafter be j
informed of the result. His mission is generally 1
considered at an end, and unless lie has documents
of a more satisfactory character to present, he will
very shortly be dismissed.

BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1858.
! airy INTELLIGENCE.
DISTRESSING CASUALTY. Yesterday- morning
about 8 o'clock a distressing and fatal accident oc
curred to one of our most estimable citizens, Mr.
Wm. Bay-ley, and tlie report of it east a gloom over
a large circle in the community. Tlie unfortunate
man who was a slater by trade, was engaged in
moling the dwelling of Mr. Fiancis T. King, on tlie
Liberty road, near the * city limits. He togeth
er with liis son, Mr. Jas. Barley, and ay oung man
name Iletzel, a tinner, were standing upon a scaf
folding some twenty five feet in height, upon which
had been placed a quantity of tlie slates, which
owing to tlie removal, for some unexplained pur
pose, of a hoard which connected the poles of tlie
scaffold, the weight proved 100 much for this
structure, and they were all three precipitated to
the ground. The deceased fell head foremost, and
striking upon a rock, received such a concussion of
tlie brain that lie expired within ten minutes,
there being no apparent signs of conscious
ness after the lamentable disaster. His son
received a fracture of the right thigh, and although
his injuries are of a severe and painful character, a
fatal termination is not apprehended. Mr. Augus
tus Wiidev, a workman upon the building, commu
nicated the sad intelligence to tie' bereaved family
of the deceased. Mr. Charles Phillips, accompanied
by Sir George Barley, another son, immediately
proceeded to the place for the purpose of removing
the injured brother to their residence on Front
street, near Gav, and also to take in charge the re
mains of the deceased. Dr. Richard C. Thomas,
who resides near where the accident occurred, was
promptly on the ground and rendered professional
aid to the injured son, as also to Mr. Iletzel, who
escaped with some severe bruises upon the back.
The deceased was in tlie sixty-first year of his
age, and leaves a wife and seven children to mourn
this lamentable occurrence. Only three hours pre
vious he had left his family in good health and
with every prospect of a continued life of pleasure
to them and of usefulness to a community in which
he was so well known and generally beloved. For
years past he had been regarded as one of the most
useful and honorable members of the Order oi Odd
Fellows, every honor that could be conferred upon
him by that Order in the State he had been the re
cipient of, being a Past Grand Master of the State
Grand Lodge. In everyoliicial position there lie
proved himself eminently worthy of the trust, while
as a member of that committee having in charge
the orphans of deceased members, he was always
one of the most useful. At tlie time of liis death
some forty of these children of sorrow were under
his charge. Ho was also an honored number of
the Order of Masons, in which he was a Past Mas
ter.
His funeral will take place to-morrow-morning
a 10 o'clock, and liis remains will be interred in
Loudon Park Cemetery. A general meeting of the
Order of Odd Fellows will bo held to-night at the
Hail, on Gay street, to make arrangements for
properly paying the last sad tribute to ids memory,
and it is expected that the Grand Lodge of the
State, Baylev Lodge, which was so named in liis
honor. Washington Lodge, Jerusalem Encampment,
and Ben Franklin Lodge of Masons, of eacli of
which lie was a member, will follow liis remains to
their final resting place.
BOARD OK MISSIONS OF TIIE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL
CHURCH. —ANNUAL MEETING. —The first business
meeting of this board for the present annual session
was held yesterday in Christ Church, Gay street,
the following Episcopants being present: Bishop
Meade, of Virginia; Bishop Otev, of Tennessee: Bish
op DeLancy, of Western New York: Bishop Boone,
of China; Bishop Green, of Mississippi; and Bishop
Doane, of New Jersey. There were also some
thirty clergymen and laymen, members of the
board, in attendance.
At eleven o'clock in the morning the usual lessons
were read by the Rev. Dr. Ilawkes. of New York,
and the Rev. Mr. Ilowe, of Philadelphia, after
which an impressive and eloquent Missionary ser
mon was preached by Bishop Win. Ileatheote De
Lancv, of New York, from Ist chapter of Malachi,
lltli verse: "For My Name shall be groat among
the Heathen." After its delivery the communion
was administered to a large number who were in
attendance by Bishop Meade.
The Board then organized for business, Bishop
Meade in the chair, and the Ilcv. Dr. Van Pelt, of
New York, Secretary.
A committee to whom the subject had been re
ferred, reported that there were two vacancies in
the Board—one occasioned by the elevation of the
Rev. Dr. Bowman, of Pa., to the position of a
Bishop, and the other by the decease of the Rev.
W. W. Bours, of Florida.
On motion of Mr. F. Wharton, layman, of Phila
delphia, a committee, consisting of Bishop Green,
the Rev. Mr. Howe, and Mr. Huntington, was ap
pointed by the chair to nominate persons to fill
these vacancies.
The committee having presented the names of the
Rev. Richard Newton, of Pa., and the Rev. J. J.
Scott, of Florida, these nominations were confirmed
by a viva voce vote.
Bishop Lee, from a committee on the Athens
(Greece) Mission, submitted a majority report,
which set forth that the management of the same,
which is under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Hill, had
been of a satisfactory character, and submitted a
resolution to that effect.
The Rev. Mr. Andrews, of Virginia, from the
same committee, submitted a minority report ad
verse thereto, alleging that the management of the
Mission had not been in conformity with the usages
of the church, or conducive to its interests, from
the fact that the Rev. Mr. Hill had established and
was conducting schools which were not under the
entire supervision of the Episcopal church, but
conformed to tlie regulations of the Greek church,
in a great measure, and that the Greek catechism
was used in these schools.
The minority of the committee also submitted a
resolution, providing for the appointment of a
special committee of three to enquire into tlie ex
pediency of changing the principle governing this
mission.
Pending tlie consideration and discussion of the
two reports, the Board at 3 o'clock adjourned to
meet at s)(j o'clock in Grace Church, where the dis
cussion was continued throughout tlie afternoon
session.
ATTACK UPON DWELLINGS. —On Wednesday night,
about lialf.past nine o'clock, a party of men attack
ed tho duelling of Mr. Abratn flyman, southeast
corner of Lombard and Exeter streets, breaking
the windows by throwing stones, and defacing the
property. Mr. Hymen had just retired for the
night, but was too much alarmed bv the violence of
their proceedings, to make any endeavor to prevent
them in their destructive work.
Tiie dwelling of Mr. Michael Murray, on the cor
ner of Lombard and Concord streets, on Tuesday
night about two o'clock, was broken into by about
a dozen men, the bar was torn to pieces, all tlie
liquors drank, the bottles and decanters broken,
and every piece of furniture in the room smashed.
They remained in the house for over half an hour,
during which time Mr. Munay and family were
locked up in the rooms of the second story, where
they remained until tlie party left. They destroy
ed property to the amount of SIOO.
On the same night several houses on Bond street,
between Lancaster and Thames streets, were sack
ed by some Rough Skins, windows broken, and con
siderable property destroyed. On yesterday Capt,
Sparklin of the Eastern district , placed an extra
force of Police in that section of tho citv.
YIOLE.NT ASSAULT WITH AN ATTEMPT TO EXTORT
MONEY. —Mr. Wm. 11. Hooper was attacked yester
day afternoon about three o'clock on Canton avenue,
near Bond street, by two men, named li. Galloway
and Wm. Fountain Morgan. Morgan drew a pis
tol, placed it at the head of Mr. Hooper, and de
manded bis money. Mr. 11. refused to comply with
the demand, calling for tiie assistance of a police
man who was near, but the party struck him seve
ral severe blows, cutting his head and lips quite
badly. Dr. Dwindle was called in and dressed the
wound. The police succeeded in arresting Gallo
way, and Justice Audoun committed him for Court.
Morgan is still at large.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE. —Yesterday afternoon about
2 o'clock, information was conveyed to the firm of
Messrs. Coleman A Bailey that a party of Rough
Skins had taken possession of one of their four
horse omnibuses, and were about driving away.
Col. Bailey dispatched several of liis employees to
prevent it, but the parties deterred them by point
ing pistols and threatening to kill them. C'oi. Bai
ley then went to the stables, remonstrated with the
party and endeavored to remove the horses, when
one of the men drew a revolver, placed it at his
head, and using most, abusive language, swore he
would blow his brains out if he attempted to un
hitch the horses. Col. Bailey called on two police
officers who were near, but received no assistance.
At this stage of the proceedings, one of the crowd
sprang upon tiie box and drove oil', with about
twenty-five of his comrades. They returned the
omnibus about live o'clock, with the windows all
destroyed, the back axle-tree broken, and the horses
very much abused.
ROWDYISM. —During Tuesday night a party of row
dies, not fearing tlie police and to the police invisi
ble, patrolled the Northeastern section of the city,
exercising their lawless propensities by firing of
pistols, screaming, and otherwise disturbing the
peace of the city and the quiet of tlie residents in
that part ofthe town. About 12 o'clock some of
them fired six shots at the store of Messrs. Cheno
weth & Booth, on North Gay street, near Exeter,
three balls striking the wall, near the store door,
and three passing through tlie glass of the door
and lodging in the ceiling. There was not the least
provocation for this outrage, tlie perpetrators
whereof escaped arrest.
OUTRAGE. —On Tuesday .evening, between seven
and eight o'clock, a well* known elderly gentleman,
C'apt. Jas. Muliin, was stopped at the corner of Gay
street and Belair market, by a man named Peter
Mateer, who drew a large knife, at the same time
demanding his monev. threatening to kill him if lie
refused to deliver. The Captain fearing that his
life would be taken, handed over ail the money he
had in his possession. He was then allowed to pro
ceed.
MAN SHOT. —Captain Mitchell, of tlie Middle dis
trict was sent for on Wednesday night about 12
o'clock to remove a man named John Smith, from
the drug store of Mr. Roberts, who had been shot
in the ankle and foot. The shooting took place near
the corner of French and Forrest streets, and was
entirely unprovoked. Capt. Mitchell had him re
moved to his residence corner of Mulliken and Ann
streets.
THE RACKS. —The continued disagreeable weather
induced another postponement of tlie races an
nounced for Wednesday over tlie Central Course.—
To-day there will be a three mile race for a purse
of SSOO, the entries for which are Parachute, One
Eyed Joe, Gov. Wicklifle, and Laura Spillraan, and
as they are all deservedly noted racers, tlie eontest
will be an interesting one.

this was just before the shot was fired; had started to go
out of the alley when Hooper was shot, but was so close
to the gun that some of the powder flew in her face; could
not say where tlie gun was fired from; fell down on the
ground she was so scared; did not sec any men in Bart
man's house.
Larkin Hamilton sworn.—l was in Caroline street, near
Thames; about 11 o'clock on Wednesday went to Bart*
man's to plav policy; Bartman was cursing the Rough
Skins; swore by the living God and his own arms that he
would kill tlie first Rough Skin s—n o—f a b—li that
would enter his house that day; saw a musket lying on
the counter; Bartman picked it up and pointed it at him,
at the same time repeating his threat of killing the Rough
Skins; the musket was cocked and when Bartman laid it
down again, he (Hamilton) raised it up and uncocked it.
[Here a musket found in Bartman's cellar was shown
him. and he stated that he believed it to he the same one
Bartman had in the policy oflieo: ] no one was present when
he had tiie conversation with him in the morning.
Several oilier witnesses were called but their ev
idence did not tend to implicate any person. After
consultation, the jury rendered a verdict of "death
from the effects of a gunshot, discharged by aper
ien or persons unknown to the jury."
No post mortem examination was held, but Dr.
Dwindle gave a medical opinion that he had died
from the wounds on his face and neck.
Coroner Sparkling yesterday about eleven o'clock
was called upon to hold an inquest over the body of
a man named Godfrey Kemp, who had died from
wounds received on Saturday night last, about ten
o'clock, in Alice Anna street, near Bond, lie was
employed at a rolling mill near by, as a night hand,
and was on liis way to work, when he was met in
Alice Anna street by a party of men, who demand
ed that he should turn round and accompany them,
and on liis refusal, one of thcui shot him, tlie ball
striking him in the upper part of the abdomen, and
lodging near the spine, lie was carried to his
home, when Dr. Dashields probed tlie wound and
extracted tlie ball. He lingered until seven o'clock
yesterday morning when he died. The man was
not able to identify any of the party, and no evi
dence was adduced to implicate any person; the
jury therefore rendered a verdict of "Death from
injuries received by a pistol shot fired by a person
or persons unknown to the jury." Kemp was about
.IS years of age, a married man, and leaves a wife
and two children.

FROM WASHINGTON.
[From the New Turk Tribune.]
Oct. 12. —Affairs with Nicaragua are coming to a
point. Gen. Jerez was received by President Bu
chanan as a Special and Extraordinary Plenipoten
tiary from President Martinez. Speeches were
made on both sides, bet it is very remarkable that
neither of these oliicial orations is reported in The
Union, though such is the practice. Mr. Buchanan
said, among several significant tilings, that he re
ceived Gen. Jerez with tlie greater pleasure he
cause he was tlie bearer of the treaty, as concluded
between the two Governments, and as ratified by
the supreme legislative authority of Nicaragua.
Previously to being received, however, a bargain
was struck between General Jerez and the Secre
tary of State, by which the former agreed to de
liver tlie Cass-Yi issarri Treaty as ratified by the
Constituent assembly, to apologize for tlie Mar
tinez manifesto exposing the purposes and policy
of this Government to France and England, and
to sign a convention providing indemnity for the
murder of Americans during the Filibuster war.
Now Gen. Jerez has, since entering into those
stipulations, sprained liis ankle, and lias not been
able, as he says, to visit the State Department, but
he has been able to repudiate every one of the en
gagements into which he has entered. He now
says his reception was wholly unconditional, and
declares that the President, in his speech, said
nothing about the delivery of the Cass-Yrissarri
Treaty, and that lie does not intend to deliver it..
This new turn of affairs lias an origin in circum
stances which give to the Administration grave ap
prehensions. Since the reception of Gen. Jerez
he has been visited bv Col. Perez, the Private
Secretary of President Martinez, and who is ap
pointed Secretary to the Extraordinary Embassy of
which Jerez is the nominal chief, it is understood
here that Perez is appointed as a spy upon liis su
perior, and that he is in the interest of the Belly
party. As to Senor Jerez, he lias been purchased
up by Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Of course,
it is not for me to make myself responsible for
these various statements, but they arc believed by
those representing interests opposed to Belly and
Vanderbilt.
Finding that Gen. Jerez had fallen into the
slough ot Jineaae, Gen Cass wrote to him that, unless
he peformed the conditions of his reception, "liis
mission would be terminated;" that is, that he
would be sent oft—dismissed. To this tiie Plenipoten
tiary has yet made no other reply than that liis leg
is very had. Whether Cass will let him off on a
lame leg, remains to be seen. But he threatens, and
the President does the same, that, unless Jerez
comes up to the scratch, he will take bodily posses
sion of the Isthmus route, and enforce the treaty
which lie was at so much trouble to make.
In all this you will perceive a margin for a good
deal of sharp correspondence and some sharp work.
I know Gen. Cass and Mr. Buchanan a great deal
better than some of the operators in Transit con
tracts, and I have no faith whatever that they will
do anything more serious than to fret and to talk.
But I may state as acurrent expectation that Jerez
will be promptly dismissed, and that San Juan on
the Atlantic, and Uaelejo on the Pacific side, will
be occupied by American forces within four month*.
\\ hen Douglas made his first Chicago speech in
July last, the Washington Union expressed great
astonishment that he should have re-opened tlie set
tled issues of the last session of Congress. In this
matter the Union was sincere, for it was aware of
a fact of which the public was ignorant. There
had been a negotiation between Mr. Douglas and
tlie President, in which they mutually agreed to
ignore the past. Mr. Douglas stipulated not to dig
up Lecoinpton, nor attack the Administration, nor
to assail the English bill; while on iiis part, the
President engaged to let the Judge and Illinois poli
tics alone until after the election. These articles
were upon certain conditions, which have riot been
divulged, but one of tlie conditions was violated by
the President before Douglas reached Chicago.
Oct. 13. —Gen. Cass has recovered from illness suf
ficiently to attend to business to-day. He had an in
terview with Jerez and Herran at the Department.
Jerezstill refuses to deliver the Cass-Yrissarri trea
ty, unaltered. Cass informed him positively that no
amendments would be admitted. Jerez promised
to exhibit new powers to-morrow, at noon, to which
time the conference adjourned.
If no agreement is concluded, Jerez will be in
formed that liis mission is at an end.
Mr. Buchanan was lately petitioned by distin
guished Democrats of New York to suspend hostili
ties against Douglas. He replied :
"The unity of the Democratic party shall be pre
served, I hough you lose every Congressinal dis
trict of New A*ork."
The President was prepared for the disaster in
Pennsylvania by his recent visit.

AUCTION AT THE CITY IIALL.—THE GOV
ERNOR'S ROOM SOLI) OUT.
About 12 o'clock to-day (Wednesday) the atten
tion of the passers by tlie City Ilall was attracted
by the Happing of a little red (lag banging from the
balcony of the City Ilall, on which was inscribed
the words, "Auction Sale, this day, by Thomas
Yeitch," reminding every body of tiie famous
sale of City Hall furniture, Ac., to satisfy the de
mands ofthe Lowlier claim. This sale was to. oc
cur on the 4th day of October inst., but has been
postponed from day to da\ until the present time.
At one o'clock there were probably seventy per
sons in the Governor's Room, in which tlie first sale
of property was to be made: al; kinds of speculations
were rife as to who would be the purchasers, and
whether the whole tiling would not end iu a farce;
while others deprecated the action of the city au
thorities in permitting the sale.
Ail speculations were soon routed, however, by
the auctioneer, Mr. Veitcli, who mounted the cliafr
and stated the cause of tiie sale, the terms (which
was cash down) and tlie articles in the Governor's
Room, including the portraits of the Presidents ot
the United States, the Governors of this State, and
other eminent men ofthe past and present ages,
which lie said would he sold in one lot.
Bidding then commenced at SIO,OOO, and run up
to $30,000, which was the highest bid, and was made
by Richard Scott, Esq., Clerk in tlie Mayor's oliice,
to whom all tlie property was sold. The sale of the
other property in the City Hall was then postponed
until further notice.
The crowd then began to disperse, somewhat
disappointed that they had not had a chance to bid
on some of the pictures separately. Some alleged
that it. was not a bona lide sale, but was only put
through tii" motions to raise the wind for Lowber.
It is understood that the bid of Mr. Scott was made
at tlie instance of the Mayor, who lias done every
thing possible in his power to prevent tlie sale, as
lie values the portraits very highly, and is opposed
to their changing hands. Mr. Lowber was present
, during tlie sale, and made the first bid of $1(1,000 —
Judge Barber, his counsel, was also present.
During the sale, Deputy Sheriil' Vultee presided.
The pictures and furniture were in a state of great
confusion, in consequence of the late fire from tlie
ett'ects of which they have not yet recovered. It is
stated that previous to the sale, Mr. Lowber called
upon Mr. A. V. Strut, Citv Chamberlain, and made
a last but fruitless effort, to obtain the payment of
the judgment for $196,000 in cash so as to prevent
tlie sale. Mr. Stout intimated tiiat lie would be
willing to advance tlie money on a Comptroller's
warrant, which, lie would bold a year; hut on ap
plication to the Comptroller found liim more dog
gedly determined not to pay than ever. So Mr.
Stout could do nothing for Mr. Lowber, and the
sale proceeded. Mr. Scott paid tlie fifty thousand
dollars down, and Mr. Lowber left the hall with
the money in his pocket.
PROGRESS OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
If one desires to obtain a true judgment of tlie
progress of the Sandwich Islands during the pre
sent century from Idolatory to Christianity, from
barbarism to a high state ot' civilization, lie should
carefully peruse tlie two newspapers now published
at Honolulu —the Polynesian and the Commercial
Admrtiser —which are well printed and ably con
ducted papers, in addition to the editorial and
news columns, lie should not forget of all things
tlie advertisements, for they often give the best
idea of the life and business in tlie community
where they are issued. In tlie paper before us,
which was printed only two months since, we have
announcements of packets to various parts of the
world: expresses to California, the United States,
and Europe; of daguerrean and ambrotype gal
leries; of a law term of the First Judicial Circuit
Court, (Island of Oahu;) of the meeting of various
Masonic Lodges; of Oregon hams ami California
cheeses for sale; of a depot for sale of forty differ
ent newspapers published in California, Oregon,
and Washington Territory; of a reward of SI,OOO
for the detection of tlie persons who robbed the
custom-house: ofthe sale ofthe first volume of the
Hawaiian Law Reports, comprising many of tlie
most importantdecisions and rulings ofthe superior
courts of the Kingdom during the ten years ending
with 1850: of the meeting of the Hotel Keepers'
Club; insurance notices; billiard tables for sale;
and also every imaginable comfort and luxury, in
cluding jewelry of every kind. A coffee plantation
containing fifty thousand coffee trees, upon 1,050
acres, is offered at a bargain. In fact, a complete
map of busy civilized life is furnished to the reader.
Nearly the entire trade of these rapidly advancing
islands is with the United States.— Boston Journal.
FATAL STEAMBOAT COLLISION NEAR NEW
PORT.
On Tuesday evening, at about lialf-past eight
o'clock, the steamer Empire State ran down and
destroyed a small sloop, the '"Exchange, of Dart
mouth," bound from Newport to Bristol. The acci
dent occurred oft" Sandy Point about ten miles
north east of Newport, the steamer being on her
passage from Fall Kiver. Capt. Ford, of Bristol,
K. 1., who had chartered the sloop for the trip, was
a passenger on board of her, and was lost. The
crew, consisting of three men. were taken off bv a
boat from the steamer, the sloop still floating,"al
though a complete wreck; her mainsail only being
saved by the steamer's boat.
Captain Foul was floating near the stern of the
steamer for lifteen minutes after the collision. It
was not very dark, yet he could not be seen, and his
cries for help excited intense interest among tho
passengers to save hiin. Chairs and life-preserv
ers were thrown to him, but he failed to reach
them, or it was feared that some of them struck
him, and before the small boat could be got afloat
•and brought round the stern, he had sunk for the
last time.
There seemed to be an unaccountable delay in
getting the boat afloat, suggesting to the passengers
the little reliance to be placed in the boats ot a
steamer in case of accident requiring their use.—
The steamer was detained an hour by the sad oc
currence.
After it was ascertained that Captain Ford could
not be saved, cries were heard from the wreck,
which could not be seen, and was supposed to have
been sunk entirely, by which the small boat was
put in direction, and in something more than hall
an hour from the collision, brought the men on
board.—JVcic York Evening Poet, 13tA inst,
The Kcv. S. N. Evans, pastor of tho Presbyterian

head, the fluid tearing his hat in pieces, crisping
the hair around his neck, passing out under the
chin, then striking the breast and descending to the
ground. The form of a key he carried was dis
tinctly impressed on the pocket, and a hole like a
buliet hole was pierced through the sole of the

FREE-TRADE IX KXGLAXT).
[From Lonitmi Cotton Plnnt.]
Wo received the first number of a publication
termed tlie Cotton SnpjAy Jtcportcr, issued in Man
chester, and, as it appears, with the sanction of
the Cotton Supply Association. Before proceed
ing with our notice of this "free-trade" (?) docu
ment, it may lie as well to pay our respects to the
Cotton Supply Association. Be it known, then,
that we are in favor of the Supply Associa
tion, and hope most sincerely that any quantity of
Surat cotton may be obtained from India, because,
being free-traders, we conceive that the greater
the supply of Indian cottons the higher the price of
Americans. If Manchester could rely upon four
million bales per annum from India <if Surat cot
ton, at say f'Xd. or 3d. per pound, the English
spinner could very well afford to give 9d. or lOd. a
pound for American cotton to work up with the
Indian article, because without our staple the Su
rat is almost utterly valueless. In other words,
under a bountiful supply of cotton from India, I
American short staple cotton would hold the same
relation to Surat that Sea Islands now hold to the
American Middlings
Hence we are favorable to the Cotton Supply As
sociation of Manchester in tlie sense of pounds, sliil I
lings and ponce. But we are favorably inclined to
the Association, and wish it well, because it is des- |
tined to clear the decks of tlie tropical labor craft j
of much useless and unnecessary material. Not
many years hereafter (liis society will be compelled
to make a report, and we opine that the report then j
made will bring England face to face with frce
negroism. Cotton lands will be found, cotton cli
mate iully ascertained as existing, but labor—or
ganized labor—will not be found. The issue thus j
narrowed to one point, the final solution will be
speedy. Resting upon our belief, we know what
the alternative must be. England will then be call
ed upon to abandon her cotton trade, her cotton in
dustry, and the imperial interests bound up in
them, or abundon frce-n6j*roism. It needs no orcjit
knowledge of human nature, and of Saxon human
nature in particular, to anticipate what tlie judg
ment will be.
Returning to tlie publication before us we find 1
the following: "It is expected that the philanthro
pist will find these communications to enlist his '
warm sympathies, in the prospects offered for
elevating the condition of the colored race; and
the man of science may discover new sources of
investigation in fields hitherto comparatively un
known."
Is there a merchant in Liverpool, or a mannfac- !
turcr in Manchester who sells goods upon "friend
ship.''' Is there a banker in Loudon who discounts
1 paper or loans money upon benevolence? What
is the fret trade of the Manchester school? Is it
not the urrestricted play of human interests with- 1
out the inter yen I ion or interference of government?
II the Brit* Government has a right—we mean a
sound, commercial, free trade right-to interfere j
in the "supply of cotton upon the score of human- !
itv, lias it not the same right to interfere with the
"demand."
If it is proper to declare as piracy the obtaining
J'slave" labor to produce "slave" grown cotton, is
if not equally proper to declare as "piracy" the
sale of the goods made of slave grown cotton to
pirates, or at least to heathens and cannibals? If
( Jovernment can intervene in "supply" it certainlv
can in "demand." If Government can be called
upon to appropriate from the taxation of the coun
try money to grow "free" grown cotton, it can
give, in the shape of a bonus or other drawback,
money upon the export or re-export of 44 free"
grown cotton goods. We are looking forward
liopefullv to the time when in the United States
there will be no such relic of barbarism as a Cus
tom House, and when the present horde of revenue
collectors who consume our substance by proving
upon our commerce will be turned adrift to seek a
proper livelihood. Rut looking to members of the
free-trade school of Manchester as our allies, can
we find either consolation or consistency in that
spirit of Policy versus Principle, which character
izes the British tariff schedule, which taxes our
tobacco, taxes French wines, taxes American lum
ber and timber, and now, in the great question of
cotton supply, introduces Government action in
the place of individual enterprise? It may be pre
sumptuous in nnWmerican free-trader to make such
a suggestion; but, instead of these Associations,
allow the whole question to be left to the play of
human interests, and Manchester would soon
receive a bountiful supply of cheap cotton.
CABLE EXKERIEXCE.— -The Philadelphia Press ad
ministers consolation to the Cable victims, as fol
lows :
It is matter of historical notoriety, that of all flic
submarine Cables yet laid, several have been fail
ures. at first. It was so with the line from Dover
to Calais, with those from Holyhead to Dublin,
from Portpatrick to Donaghadee, and, more espe
cially, with that from C-agliare, in Sardinia, to
Bona, in Algeria. The line through the Black Sea,
between Verna and the Crimea, finally was broken,
in a tempest, after it had been a year in operation.
Of the forty-three submarine Cables, essayed be
fore the Atlantic Cable reached its termini, six
failed in process of laving; four subsequently, and
one of the Hague Cables is now under repair—leav
ing forty-two in perfect working order. It was
stated before the (English) Institution of Civil En
gineers, that of tlie ten total failures, three were
strictly light Cables, with no outer wires, being the
only uncovered Cables tried; and the two failures
of heavy Cables, after submersion, arose from their
being too light. Several Cables had, it is true,
been broken by anchors, in consequence of the ab
sence of.sufficient iron "protecting wires, but these
had been immediately repaired, and were now in
regular work.
Of the six failures in submerging, two occurred
with the Mediterranean cables, in the years 1555-SC,
when 250 miles wore lost, of the value of about
£70,000; a third with the Newfoundland cable; a
fourth with a light cable from Portpatrick to Dona
ghadee; a fifth with a heavy calile on the same
route; and, lastly, the Atlantic cable, in 1857. Of
these, the Newfoundland and tlie heavy Portpatrick
and Donaghadee cables, had been recovered; and
during tlie present summer tlie raising of tlie Medi
terranean cable was to have been attempted.
The public feel much disappointed because the
Atlantic telegraph does not work. What would
they have said if, after working for a month or so,
like the Calais and Dover line, it suddenly sus
pended all action, putting an end, for a season, to
the communication to which the people in each
country had become familiarized? That is what,
were the Atlantic telegrapli at full work, with a
single cable, we should be liable to, at any mo
ment —indeed, at every moment.
ALLEGANY COUNTY. — For the week ending Sat
urday. Oct. 9th, 3,470.16 tons of coal were shipped
over the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad,
4,239.03 tons over the road of the George's Creek
Coal and Iron Company, 3,396.09 over tlie road of
the Cumberland Coal and iron Company, and
1.075.10 tons over the Hampshire Coal and Iron
Company's road, making an aggregate for the week
from the whole coal region of 12,181. 1S tons.
Total shipments for tlie year from the entire region
512.350,03 tons.
Some of the early sowing of fall grain will have
to be re-sowed, the excessive drought having com
pletely destroyed the young shoots. This, however,
has only occurred in certain localities.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Cum
berland City Bank, held on tlie 29th ult., Mr. James
T. Norton was elected President of the bank, in
the place of James M. Schley, resigned.
It is now in contemplation to establish a paper
at Frostbnrg, to be called tlie Frostburg Gazette ami
Miners' Record, by Col. John C. Piekeli. It is to
be neutral in politics.
The potatoe crop this year, though an average
one, does not yield as abundantly as was anticipated
in the early part of the season, owing to the long
continuance of the drought. The potatoes gener
ally are small, but of superior flavor.
Wild game is said to be quite abundant in the
mountainous sections of this county. A few days
since a party of three gentlemen bagged twenty
live pheasants, besides other game, in two days.
Another accident has occurred to the machinery
of the steam canal pump. Tlie pinion wheel was
again broken, on Monday, and several days must
elapse before it can be repaired.
A fine fall of rain on Monday and Tuesday con
tinued for twenty-four hours, and has done an im
mense amount of good. The Potomac and Will's
creek have been somewhat improved in the way of
water, rendering boating a little better than for
some time past.
Boating, owing to low water, is at a low ebb.
But few boats are departing for tide-water.
Tho weather continues mild and pleasant in this
locality.
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY. —The Planters' Adrocatt
says: On Saturday evening Mr. Judson O. War
ner, formerly of this place, residing on Bridge street,
Georgetown, was sitting reading a newspaper to
his wife when all at once he stopped, coughed, and
threw lip a quantity of blood from his chest. In a
few minutes lie was a corpse. His health had been
infirm for some time. Aged about forty years, and
leaves a wife and seven children.
Mr. Judson Richardson lias disposed of his prop
erty, known for a number of years as the "Union
Hotel." to Mr. James H. Crandell, by whom the
establishment will hereafter be conducted. Price
$3400.
Mr. Crandell has disposed of his dwelling house,
near the Catholic Church, to Mr. William Roth
staine. Tlie price paid was SI7OO cash.
Col. W. \V. W. Bowiehas disposed ofhis "Locust
Grove" Farm, containing two hundred and seven

Cosr OK ENGLISH ELECTIONS. —The cost to Sic Ed
ward Bulwer Lytton of his last election for Hert
fordshire, England, followed immediately upon his
appointment to the otliee of Secretary of State for
the Colonics, was no less than £1,147 12s. .2d. The
election was uncontested; only eight days intervened
between the issue of the Speaker's warrant and the
day of election; there was no polling; the nomina
tion took place in a field in the vicinity of Hertford,
in the open air, and the candidate addressed the
constituency from a wagon, thus dispensing with
hustings; and yet, despite circumstances so favora
ble to an inexpensive return, this purely formal
proceeding, consequent upon his accepting an office
under the Crown, subjected him to an outlay of
nearly £l5O a day for each of the eight days, a Sun
day included, or nearly a fourth of his annual sal
ary of £5,000 as Colonial Minister.
THE CHATHAM (CANADA) SLAVE CASK. —On Tues
day, sth inst., the preliminary investigation in this
case, before Thomas McCreaj Esq., Police Magis
trate of ( hat ham, was resumed pursuant to adjourn
ment. Mr. George Duck, County Attorney, con
ducted the prosecution against the parties charged
with forcibly abducting the slave boy of Mr. Mer
win-—the charge being that the boy was carried off
against his own earnest desire to remain with his
master. Mr. McLean appeared for the defense. The
Ailcrrtucr states that, after a good deal of evidence
had been taken, two white and six colored men
were bound over to stand their trial at the Assizes,
which will be held on the 18th inst. One of the
white men is a Mr. Goodyear, who, it appears,
headed the party that liberated the boy.
QUARANTINE A NATIONAL REGULATION.—' The Cham
' ol Commerce of Acw Pork, through its com
mittee, reports to the Mayor in regard to the
onerous charges on shipping at Quarantine. It is
recommended that the whole subject ought to be
placed under the control of the natioual Govern
ment, or the State should so modify her laws as to
preclude the clashing of diverse interests. Fear is
expressed that, in a little while, no cotton will be
sent there from the South, and very little sugar
from the West Indies.
CIIAMDERSBI'KO AND HAOKRSTOWN RAILROAD.—
The work on the railroad from Chainhersburg to
Hagerstown is rapidly progressing. When this is
completed, it is anticipated a further branch will
be made to connect with the Baltmore and Ohio
Railroad. The distance from Hagerstown to the
Baltimore and Ohio will not exceed some 14 or 15
miles. The country is level and the road will need
but very little grading. The turnpike is suffi
ciently wide for one track of railroad along its side
and still leave ample room for all turnpike travel.
PRICE TWO CENTS
THE SEAT OF WAR, IN WASHINGTON
TERRITORY.
We have received from our special army corres
pondent, says the San Francisco Alia California,
news down to August 22, at which time the last
express left Col. Wright's command on Snake
river:
One field work (Fort Taylor) is finished, and to
morrow morning, at daylight, we commence cross
ing Snake river. Then the campaign begins, for
the Indians declare if we cross the river wc shall
none of us cross back. This remains to be seen.
Two days ago (August 20) three Indians ap
peared on the opposite bank, waving a bloody shirt
as they rode -tip and down. After going through
this performance for about half an hour, they fired
a gun at our camp and rode off. This, we suppose,
was intended to be an Indian declaration of war.
The truth is, the hostile tribes are in the highest
state of confidence from Col. Steptoe's defeat, and
it will take a severe thrashing to reduce them to
order. The hostiles who went down to Walla-Walla,
to see Col. Wright, said they had uo wish to make
peace; that the whites were always talking of war,
but always wanting to make peace, and the first to
sue for it. This is too true, and shows the neccssi
tv of teaching them a new lesson. Their confi
dence, however, may induce them to meet us, when
we shall have an opportunity of wiping out the
disgrace of the past. The time for temporizing
with these tribes is over.
For some nights past we have seen the light of
fires ahead, which shows that the Indians are busy
in burning the grass on our liue oi march, to im
pede our column, by cutting oil' forage for our ani
mals. Fortunately we had rain last evening, and
it is raining again to-day. This may save some ot
the grass for us.
We know nothing definite, but it is said our com
paign is to last about forty days. AVe take out sup
plies for that length of time, and it would he very
difficult to send back for more. It is of course im
possible for our commander to form any definite
plan, but we shall have to be governed entirely by
circumstances. The report in camp is that Col.
AVright is going to remain out all winter, and es
tablish a post on the Pelouse river where he can
bivouac. No wagons can cross Snake river.
Now, as to our fighting force. AVe have about
twenty men at Fort Walla-W alia with Col. Step toe,
and Major AVyse's company at Fort Tejon. so that
we have left about 630 men to take the field. The
attaches, inula packers, Ac., number about 200
men. Resides these we have three Nez Percez
chiefs and thirty warriors, our allies. As soon as
we cross Snake river these will be sent out as spies
and to make a reconnaissance.
It is said in camp that Col. Wright is going to
push forward with all possible rapidity lam afraid
we shall receive no more letters until some decisive
blow is struck, as they may not consider it safe to
send an express out to us. Inthatcase wc, of course,
can send no letters in, and your next news of us
will probably come from the Indian runners across
the country.
LECTURE BY LOLA MOXTEZ.
. [From the. A'eiv York Tribune.]
A large and enthusiastic audience of ladies and
gentlemen assembled last evening at Hope Chapel
to listen to a lecture by Aladame Lola Montez on
Rome, the proceeds of which were announced to be
appropriated to assist in the re-erection of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, which was destroyed
by the tornado of last summer. In reviewing the
history and doctrines of the Church of Rome, the
lecturer regarded them as a compromise between
Christianity and heathenism. Its importance she
recognised as the great conservative element during
the middle ages. These passed and political order
once more restored, the mission of the Church had
been to retard progress. Its worship of relics was
alluded to, after which the lecturer drew a compari
son between the material prosperity of Catholic
and Protestant countries. In conclusion, Madame
Lola said:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : The advertisements
have informed you that the proceeds of this lecture
are to be given to the Rev. Ralph Iloyt, to aid him
in rebuilding his free church for the poor. The pa
pers have also apprised you that some of the clergy
have cast reflections upon the worthy rector, for
his willingness to receive the sum which your pa
tronage of this lecture yields, which is certainly a
piece of bigotry, intolerance, cruel to the poor, and
meddlesome impertinence, which I have never be
fore witnessed, even in the most illiberal Catholic
countries of the old world. [Applause.] AA'ho are
these men that would bar you and me from doing a
good act, and would rather lock the doors of com
fort and instruction on the poor, than that they
should be blessed by a hand which will not be
moved by their dictation ? [ Loud applause.] How
many churches will be built, and how many
poor will be fed, by money which they will
give. [Applause. A A'oice: Not one in a
thousand.] It is reserved for me to read tlicso
blind bigots a lesson, and to tell them that they are
not Christians but Pharisees. They belong to the
same class of hypocrites who condemned the Sav
iour because ho ate and drank with publicans and
sinners [applause], and tlicv appear to be just a?
full of the headstrong devif of intolerance as they
were in the old time. They are certainly very
impudent and very bold devils when they enter
into the breasts of professing Christians in such a
free and enlightened land as America. Such big
oted intolerance would be bad enough in Timbuetoo
or the Fcjee Islands, but in America it is like a
. foul spot on the bright sun. [Applause.] lam
going to Europe in a few days, and when I come
back, which I certainly will do, [applause] may he
I will give a course of lectures to raise a fund, to
send missionaries to Christianize the clerical
Pharisees, [loud laugh and applause], who had
I rather the poor and desolate should not have the
| gospel preached to thorn, than that the means
| should be furnished by your patronage of your
| humble servant. I entreat the prayers of this
j congregation for all such benighted and miserable
sinners. [Applause.]
At the close" of her lecture Madame Lola Montez
was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause,
which she was twice obliged to acknowledge.
NEGRO PRINCES AT PARlS. —Three young negroes,
sons of petty kings in the district of Bengal, were
about a year ago sent from St. Louis to the college
at Algiers, where they were placed at the expense
of the French (Government. They already speak
French perfectly, and are quite accustomed to
French usages. Having recently been brought up
to Paris, they were presented to' Prince Napoleon,
and his imperial highness, three days ago enter
tained them at dinner. They conducted themselves
extremely well, and replied to all questions with a
tact and good sense which occasioned surprise.—
They are named Nafo, Macran and Coury. The
first, the eldest, is delicate and of low stature, but
he is the most intelligent. Macran, fourteen years
of age, writes French tolerably well; he talks less
than the other two, but is gay, and sometimes
smiles satirically at what his companions sav.
Coury, is not quite twelve,is tall and strong, is good
naturcd, but rather melancholy. He savs, "Nafe
is the best instructed of the three, but Macran is
the wisest." The little fellows, notwithstanding
their youth, display great tact in avoiding direct
replies to certain questions. "Of what religion are
you ?" asked the Prince to Macran. "We are not
Mussulmans" was the reply. "What then is your
religionasked the Prince, turning to Nafe, the
most learned of the three. "If French missionaries
were sent to our country, we should all be Chris
tians," was the answer. The fact is that they are
idolaters; though, from mixing with Mussulmans
and Christians at Algiers, they have begun to lose
their faith in the paternal idols.
RED REPUBLICANISM IN LONDON. —The London
Star mentions that on the 22d ult. a considerable
number of Knglish and French Democrats assem
bled together on the invitations of "the Interna
tional Committee," to commemorate the establish
ment of a Republic and the overthrow of monarchy
in 17H2. The hero of the recent State trial, Dr. Si
mon Bernard, presided.
Mr. Pyat depicted the present state of France in
very dark colors. Only one Englishman spoke, a
Mr. Jlackle, wh attributed the failure of the first
French revolution to the murder of the "immor
tal" Robespierre by the middle classes, and ex
pressed bis distrust of the leaders of the revolu
tion of '4B—Lamartine, Louis Blanc, and Ledru
ltollin. According to the speaker, Louis Blanc
ought to have shot Lamartine; and, as he did not.
do so, he has forfeited the confidence of all true
Democrats.
The Genoese Dine Popoln, the last republican pa
per in Italy, having been killed by the Sardinian
Government, Mazzini has commenced the publica
tion, in London, of an Italian paper, to appear twice
a month, entitled Pcnsiero ed Azione, (Thoughtand
Action,) in the last number ot which appears a
manifesto. Of this paper the Tribune says: Instead
of inquiring into the great social agencies on which
the Revolution of I*4B-11 foundered, and of trying
to delineate the real conditions that, during the' last
ten years, have silently grown up and combined to
prepare anew and more powerful movement, Maz
zini, relapsing, as it appears to us, into his antiqua
ted crochets, puts to himself an imaginary problem
which, of course, cannot but lead to a delusive so
lution. With him the all-absorbing question re
mains still—why the Refugees, as a body have
failed in their attempts at renovating the world,
and still he busies himself with advertising nostrums
for the cure of their political palsy. °
EMANCIPATION IN MISSOURI.— The following ex
ti act lioin a letter from Missouri, wefare afraid is
too true; *
"A majority of the Americans voting their ticket
are pro-slavery; and emancipation, even in St.
Louis, is dead as a mackerel. Its advocates in Mis
souri now are as poor and mean as rats upon an
empty shelf. Never was there a great party more
triumphant than the pro-slavery party lias been in
this August election.— Cincinnati Gazette.
1 he vessels of the Paraguay expedition are fur
nished with a novel aft'air in a new kind of sea an
chor. It is about fifteen feet lonjx, and is construct
ed something like the leaf of an umbrella, braced
with wood, and made of canvas; the centre is iron,
and by throwing this machine overboard in a heavy
sea, the ship would be instantly hove to, were the
water ever so deep.— Boston Traveller.
The London Gazette announces that the Queenhas
ordained a special statute for appointing the Earl
ol Elgin a Knight Grand Cross ofthe Bath. It also
announces that Captains Aldham and Precdy (of
the Atlantic Cable Expedition) and the lion. Fred
crick Bruce have been appointed Commanders of
the Bath. 1
TALBOT COUNTY— The "Kennedy Farm," sold on
last Tuesday by R, C. Hollvdav. Esq., Trustee, was
purchased by Mr. J. B. Bennett, at sls per acre;
the House and lot on Washington street, Easton, by
Mr. V in. T. Hardesty, for $1250 —and the small
house and lot on Harrison St. bv Jas. LI. Martin,
for s2so.— Easton Star.
The late collision on the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad, occurred on MeCallum's bridge, just
beyond Shoal's station, and it is a remarkable tact
that the bridge sustained this tremendous collision,
and the subsequent weight of engines and cars piled
three and four deep, without deflecting an inch from
a straight line, and without injury in aiiy part.
The Virginia Iron Mills, at Wheeling. Va., were
sold the other dav to A. Wilson Kelly, one of the
former proprietors, for $62,000. Ihe purchase in
cludes some sixtv or seventy houses, some ot them
of brick. This mill, with the other buildings con
nected therewith, cost $112,000.
The British Government has completed a eon
tract with the Messrs. Cunard to establish a bi
monthly line of steamers between the Bahama
Islands and New York, with superior accommoda

cipal port.
