whoae slaves were seized in Philadelphia, askine
the aid of North Carolina in the suit to recover

forwarded to biuj by the Governors of Ohio, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, giving it as his
opinion that it would be totally useless to reply to
them. The following passage about federal af
fairs occurs in the message:
All we have asked for is to be protected in the
rights secured to us by the constitution, to be let
alontf in their enjoyment, and to bo treated as
equals anion* the States and in the common Terri
tories of the I'nion. More than this we have not
sought to obtain. Less, if true to ourselves, wo
will never submit to take.
' United, as we have been, mainly, in the late con
test, we have nothing to fear. For a time madness
and fanaticism ruled the day, and the wisest, the
best and most patristic in the land were filled with
fear and misgiving. But the result shows that we
have as friends a large and influential body of
patriotic, conservative, national men at the North,
who, in a crisis like the one we have passed, are
roady, at every hazard, to stand by the Union and
the rights ol every section. The task set before
them, 1 regret to say, was one not easy of ac
complisbment. But well and successfully have
tbey performed it, and entitled themselves to the
thanks and plaudits of all and the eternal gratitude
of the South. For the present the contest is end
ed, perhaps to be renewed in a short time. Let us
hope otherwise, and that peace, order and good
feeling may return and alile with us "
A State Without Taxes —The State of Tex
as is in a most enviable condition in regard to her
finances. She is the envy of the country. Her
Comptroller, in a recent report, presents the fol
lowing flattering picture of her condition. The
State is out of debt, with a surplus of over a mil
lion of dollars in the Treasury—a permanent 5
per cent. School Fund of ten million ot dollars—
au unappropriated public domain, estimated at one
hundred millions of acres, which if judiciously
used, would subserve all the purposes of internal
improvements required by the State, and a tax
lighter than is imposed on any other people, and
which is adequate to all the wants ot the Govern
ment-
The aggregate amount of taxable property is
very rear $150,000,000 being an increase of $22,-
500,000 over the previous year.
Cost of Amusements in New York —The N.
York '1 imes calculates the cost of amusing such a
city as that, nightly, as follows :
"There are about twenty theatres, concert
rooms,&c., open nightly—holding upon an aver
age, probably, fifteen hundred persons. If the ad
misrion fee averages half a dollar, here are nearly
$15,000 expended every night, or nearly $100,000
every week, for amusements."

performing the miraculous feat of walking a wire
to the top of the pavilion, she unfortunately lost
her balance and fell a distance of twenty feet—
Her left wrist and ancle were broken; and the
ady experienced the most agonizing pain from
the injuries received.
Jesuits in Kansas—The Roman Catholics
have had a mission, together with a manual labor
school, iii operation at Pottawattomie, K T., for
about a year. A report from the superintenrhnt
speaks encouragingly of the success of the mis
sion among the Indians. It is in charge of a Je
suit priest and Mother Lucile Motheron, a sister of
the "Sacred Henrt."
An Abolitionist Smokkd Out.—The people
of Madison county, Florida, discovering that they
had an aboliti^uist,residing among them—George
Etson Colson by name—called a meeting to con
sider the case Evidence being produced under
oath that he was, by his own confession, an aboli
tionist of the Greeley, perhaps even of the Gar
rison stamp, the meeting resolved to give him no
tice to quit. This was done on penalty of 39 lash
es in case of his refusal Ik left. His family was
assisted by the citizens with means to enable them
to follow him.
Great Arrival of Poultry—Seven thou
sand live turkeys, and three thousand chickens,
from Upper Canada, were brought down yester
day by railroad, and turned out at the Somerville
station. —Bunion Journal
A Veteran Voter—Mr. John Snyder, of
Shepherdstown, Va., rode four miles through the
rain on the day of the late Presidential election to
vote for Fillmore. The same gentleman voted for
George Washiogton for the Presidency.
CRIMEAN Banquet—The Dublin correspon
dent of the Boston Pilot states that the grand ban
quet prepared for the Crimean heroes in that
city, being spread a day in advance, was attacked
by rats in the night, and a considerable portion of
the comtstibles spoiled. The banquet was given
ia a large tobacco warehouse.
Dressing in America. —A young ady writes
from Newport, an Americau watering place, that
"we have to dress about nine times a day here."—
Young ladies at Newport, with their nine dresses,
mast be like nine pins; no sooner set up than

The Registration Fees on registered letters
passing through the London Post Office, yield a

Russian Gold Mines —The amount of gold ob

months of the year, was 187 poods, or 7,880 lbs.
The Bug Tkaok.— Bugs are an important ar
ticle in the trade ot Bio Janeiro Their wings are
made into artificial flowers, and some of the most
brilliant varieties are worn as ornaments in ladies'
hair. One man manages to earn his living by
(telling insects and other specimen* to the stran
gers who visit port. He keeps twelve slaves con
stantly employed io finding the bugs, serpents and
shells which are roost in demand. Ihe nearest ap
proach to his business that we can remember is,
that of the trade of fire-flies in Havanna; the insect
being caught and carefully fed on the sugar-cane,
is issued as an ornament in ladies' dressses. Be
log twice the size of the American fire fly, it is very

forgotten, as be (toes not answer to it, ar d the officers
in charge have forgotten the name, tbe jailor re

will not release him until a warrant for bis release
is given. The Court has ho power, because be csn

RICHMOND, TUfcSDAY. NOVEMBER 25
Thanktgxting Day—Accident to a Bridal Party—
Commercial l/c.
CORRISPOItDINCIor THK DISPATCH.
Ssvahnah, November 21,1856.
Yesterday, "Thanksgiving day," was a most
unpleasant day. On awakening is the morning
onr eyes were greeted by rain, and so it continue*
now. The day pissed off with but one accident,
I believe. Th»| was cansed by the accidental dls
charge of a gun in the bands of a lad, thereby
Injuring his foot and leg ao seriously it was found
necessary to amputate his leg.
Quite a sad affair for the time happened on Wed
nesday evening last As a bridal party drove np
to church, the horses attached to a carriage con
taining two bridesmaids and a groomsman, ran off
- and after running some six or eight squares was
upset by coming in contact with a pump. One of
the ladies was very badly braised and cut, the
other escaped with a few slight cuts, and the gen
tleraan had his beaver smashed The ceremoDV
was performed without them.
The shipping in our port is unusually large
- ships, 13 barks, 12 brigs and 15 schooners; 69
sail in all Freights are quite low—Cotton |d to
Liverpool, tc to Havre; ic by steamers, ic by sail
ing vessels to New York; ic by steamer, jc by
sailing vessels to Philadelphis; to Baltimore ic; to
Boston 7-lfic. Our cotton market is very dull —
Prices are low and holders do net wish to sell —
Most of our merchants are anticipating a lower
market still, and then a rise in prices. Some plant
ers in the State are holding their cotton for 15c,
which tbey confidently expect to get, though not
before April next. There is no doubt of a vast
filling off in the cotton crop this year, and cotton
must command more this season than last. One
cause of the depression of our market Is, I think,
the tightness of our money market.
Groat preparations are making for the meeting
of the " Southern Convention," en the Bth. The
contemplated great Southern Steamship Line will
I suppose, occupy the attention of the Convention!
A ball is to be given to the delegates on the night
of the 10th, I believe.
No more news, I believe, unless the marriage of
fifty couple, as reported, this winter is news. I
would not like to vouch for the truth of it; but as
it is leap year, I should not be surprised if it was
B0 - Vignette.

1 Ins year has been a very unfavorable one for
our staple product. _ The Cotton crops are quite
short, but as the price is much higher than usual,
1 don t know that there will be much deficits to
the planter in next income. The weather being
charming and the crops nearly gathered, the
planters have a fioc opportunity of making exten

Sentence of Falconer—Subject* for ike State Prison-
Anniversary Supper, t(C.
correspondence 0K the dispatch.
Petersburg, Nov. 24,1856.
The trial of Alexander Falconer, ticket agent
and treasurer of the Petersburg and Weldoa Rail
road Company, was this morning concluded, after
having occupied the Court for five days. The
case was given to the jury at 11 o'clock, who, after
deliberating something more than one hour, re
turned a verdict of guilty, fixing the prisoner's
punishment at two years in the penitentiary.
This case, from the high social position of the
accused, his hitherto spotless character, and the
peculiar nature of the crime, has attracted more
than the usual share of public attention. The
term of imprisonment is the lowest allowed under
the statute.
There are now in our city Jail, sentenced to the
Penitentiary for various terms, the following.pri
soners, viz: Falconer, for embezzlement, 2 years;
Willson, for shooting, with intent to kill "Bean*'
Easley, 16 months; Hogan, (a lad) for picking the
pocket of Mrs. Goodwyn, at tbe Fair Grounds, 1
year; another lad, for stealing from a vessel, 2
years.
The annual Supper of the Saint Andrew's So
ciety will come off next Monday night at the Bol
lingbrook Hotel.
The Democracy are anticipating a great demon
stration next Tuesday night, in honor of their late
victory. The city will be illuminated, guns will
be tired, and altogether a very pretty uproar may
be expected.
We have nothing now in the way of amusements
The drama is totally defunct; and save a "nigger
show," nothing has come along to coax the "quar,
terg" from our pockets for these two months.
Celestial Theatricals—A new feature in
Thespian entertainments has been introduced in
the interior of California. It consists of a Chinese
troupe, who are at present performing at San An,
drpas. The company is composed of about 30 ac.
tors, musicians, stage attendants, ice.
At this place they have a theatre of their own.
The building, says the Independent, consists of a
wooden frame 45 by 100 feet, covered with canvas
It, with the scenery, fixtures, and stage furniture,
was made by native artisans. Instead of foot
lights, three large eartbern vases, filled with celes
tial oil, and suspended upon iron brackets, il
luminated the stage. These were replenished with
functions fluid, as occasion required, by an atten
tive supe.
The musicians were kindly placed in the rear of
the players, at the opposite end of the stage, and
as far from the audience as possible. This ar
rargement was duly appreciated by the barbarian
spectators when the performance began; for, of
all diabolic sounds tbat ever rasped the human
tymppnum, Chinese music is the most to be dread
e"d Were it given us to invent* rack whereupon
to torture the auditory nerve, it would be none
other tian a Chinese orchestra. "Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard," of cont'ivance better fitted
to carry out the Calathumbian idea than this —
Saw filing and wood sawing,the screeching of tom
tom and tom-cats, soften into the mellifluous
strains of an orphean lyre compared with it.
Take you for tenor the naßal twang of • song
singing Scot, for bass tne braying of a jackasß,
carrying other parts with whatever of cackling,
squealing, bleating, grunting or neighing, may be
f< n 4 in a farmer's barn yard, and you have the
counterpart of a well executed air by a Chinese
band. Hence the grateful sense experienced by
the audience on finding the music removed to the
remotest part of the theatre. But the racket hav
ing ceased, and the spectators having removed
their fingers from their ears, the play commenced.
This cousisted of a kind of history of the Chinese
Empire and character ; and [inasmuch as the an
nals of this people cover a space of fifteen or
twenty thousand years, the play requires six con
tinuous weeks for its performance.
The first scene opens with an invocation to the
Sun. in a low and lugubrious strain, after which
the historic narrative proceeds, with every man
ner of grimace, gut uial and gyration, common to
this grim and garrulous people.
In drtss, everything is hideous and distorted, in
action overdone, and throughout the whole estab
lishment, in scenery, properties and fixtures, was
that same show of rude and barbaric taste, which
marks the decorations about their temple in this
city. Truly there is but little, either in John's
amusements or religion, worthy of admiration-
Vet few as are their attractions to the white bar
barian. the inner kingdom derive great pleasure
frern witnessing these exhibitions of the sock and
buskin. From three to five hundred of them
nightly repair to this Thespian temple to feaat
their pumpkin seed eyes and shake their dvsky
sides over the scenes of mimic life transacted here.

LOCAZa MATTER*.
* moD * young artlzani of
the city, by csnstag many of them to spend their
evenings over their book* in useful studies, instead
of lounging aronnd the engine houses, in Idleness
and mischief. There are now one hundred and
twelve scholars registered in this school, and tbe
attendance is equal to that of any other in the city
Unforornately, the present school can accommo
date no more, for there are scores of applications
continually made for admissions, and we sincere
ly believe that if the Institnte had the means to
defray the expenses, it eonld have six hundred
mi.*' ir books instead of its present number
When the Institnte was first established, tbe
public believed that it would prove a failure and
the consequence was, that many good men with
held their aid Time has proved that these fears
were unfounded, and now we ask those gentlemen
to come forward and lend a helping hand. Tbe
Institute needs a large and well arranged hall for
Us schools, library and exhibitions, and if it can
get a suitable building in a central location, it can
educate every young mechanic in Richmond with
out calling on the City Council for one dollar to
defray the expenses. Indeed, if the Council will
give it a lot of ground in a good location, we be
lieve the, citizens will readily contribute the means
to erect the building, and thus ensure the blessings
of education to our rising oitizena. In Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Charleston,
the city authorities have gladly aided in the estab
ushment of similar institutions, and each of those
cities have reaped golden harvests from their ex
penditures. Why cannot Richmond follow these
samples, and by the expenditure of twenty or
thirty tbouaand dollars ensure to her artisans lib
eral education, and to her own self future and last
ing prosperity. We must have mechanics and
manufacturers of skill if we ever hope to succeed
In those branches of industry. Let our men of
wealth coosider the importance of this matter, and
(rive their aid to a cause which has for its object
the goidifalL
Receiving Stolen Tobacco —Charles Cunningham,
a grocer on Main street, near 25th, was arraigned
before the Mayor yesterday to answer tho charge
of receiving $10 worth of tobacco stolen from
Washington B. Ross, knowing the same to have
been stolen.
Mr. Hoss testified that he was shown some twist
tobacco which he believed to be his, and which
was said to have been purchased by a negro at
Cunningham's store. To satisfy himself, he en
gaged a gentleman to go there and buy gome of
the tobacco. That gentleman did so, and returned
with twelve plugs, for which he paid twelve cents
Mr. R said he believed the toba«co to be his,
and that each twist was worth to bim three cents.
He then called on the prisoner and asked him
where he purchased such tobacco. Cunningham
replied that he never bought nor sold such—which
statement Mr. R. told him was false.
H. H. Hobson, on being sworn, stated that he
went to Cunningham's and purchased the twelve
twists of tobacco for Ross, for which he paid
twelve cents. Mr. R. took six of the twists and
gave him the other six. When he first went in,
Cunningham showed lim a different kind, but on
asking for the twists, five of them were produced
Cunningham sent out for more, and a measure
containing about half a peck of the twists, were
brought in, from which he got enough to make
oue dozen.
New Kent.
The defence introduced Myer Swartz, John
Parr and John McDowell, all of whom, on being
sworn, pronounced him to be a man of good char
acter, as far as they knew.
At the close of the testimony, the Mayor de
termined to send the prisoner on to answer an
indictment by the next Grand Jury, which sits
in February, and ht Id him to bail in $200 for his
appearance, which he readily gave.
Violence to a Negro—Patrick Sweeney made his
appearance before the Mayor yesterday to answer
the charge of violently assaulting and beating Ed
mond, slave to ffm. C. Scott, on Sunday last, in
Main street. Officer Morris stated that as he was
passing tho County Court House, he saw a ne
gro man walking up the street, and soon thereafter
observed tbe prisoner following him. When the
prisoner overtook tbe servant, he instantly knock
ed him down with a large rolling pin, and was in
the net of repeating the blow, when he (the officer)
arrested him.
Sweeney gave as an excuse for his conduct, that
the negro came into his house and picked up a
piece of beef, but on being told to put it down by
a boarder, did so and started off- On learning what
had occurred, he Rtarted after the negro and bailed
him, butcotfld not make him stop till he gave him
the blow.
In order to ascertain the extent of the servants'
injuries, and to procure additional testimony, the
examination was adjourned until to morrow.
Disorderly —AX a very early hour last Sunday
morning, before the larks bad warbled their ma
tins, or old Sol had donned his night cap, Lieut.
Kelly heard an uproar and confusion on Second
street, and hastening to learn the cause, found
that John Woodson was more than half seas over
and as full of noise as an ill-tuned hand organ.—
Hoping that mild remedies would restore quiet,
the officer kindly urged John and his associates to
restrain their vocal powers and permit the neigh
bors to ecjoy their slumbers, but instead of having
the desired effect, John became more uproarious,
and continued his nocturnal bellowings until be
was taken in custody and locked up. Yesterday
morning when summoned before the bar of justie j ,
John opened upon the Mayor in most pathetic
terms, and plead ho lustily for bis forgiveness, that
he was permitted to retire, it being hi 3 first ap
pearance in that flight.
Turning thiTables.—Wife whipping is a com
mon custom among such classes, but it is not of
ten tbat we have to notice the fact of a woman's
turning boss, and frailing her lord till he hat> to
seek protection of the court On Sunday last Mrs.
Elizabeth Goodman, doubtless a most amiable and
gentle beiug, made her bow to the Mayor to an
swer the charge of threatening to send her dutiful
husband on a Southern tour, where raging fires,
blazing brimstone and meltel lead are said to be
the staple commodities. Mrs G. did not pretend
to deny the accusation, and for fear that she might
do all she said and more, she was forced to give
bail for her future good behavior.
Laid Over.—Mary Susan Hill appeared before
tue Mayor yesterday, and charged George, slave
to Edward Ligon, with stealing a lot of clothing
from her; but on George's assuring his honor that
he could prove an alibi, the examination was post
poned till this morning, and the accused locked up
for safe keeping.
Old Tricks —As one of the gentlemen connected
with the police was passing along the street last
Sabbath evening, he felt big right arm suddenly
seized upon, and on looking around there stood
Mary Purcell, an old acquaintance, and as drunk a
woman as ever debased herself by the use of strong
drink. The officer, poor fellow, found himself in a
dilema, from which he wag anxious to be extri
cated; bnt seeing the importance of ridding the
street of such a pest, and knowing it to be his duty
to take care of her, heeoaxed her along till he got
into the cage, and then locked her up for safe keep
ing. Yesterday morning the Mayor turned her
over to the care of the Sergeant, where she will
probably remain for the next twelve months.
Deserters.—Dennis Drlscoll and Lander M Kane*
seamen on the brig Tempest, were arrested by
Capt. Wilkinson and caged, for deserting the vessel
and failing to do duty while in port Both of these
jolly tars were locked np for safe keeping till the
vessel is ready to sail, when they will be turned
over to the master of the Tempest to be broke into
the traces.
The U. S. Cnurt, Judge Ilalvburton, did nothing
yesterday. The Grand Jurors were in session and
ready lo proceed to business j but owing to the ab
sence of a number of witueases, wore adjourned
until to-day.
Sunday Itov — John Henry Lambert, appeared
before tbe Mayor yesterday, and gave bail to an
swer an indlctiient by tbe next Grand Jury, and
to be of good behavior for twelve monthe, ec
charge of be'ntj engaged in the row at
Hotel on tbe loth instant, when K P. Handle was
violently beaten by two or three men.
yniiar.ee —Simpson & Bsgnnll were fined $10 by
tho Mnyor yesterday, for permitting offensive wa
torto run from their premises Into the store of
Price, Bayly A Welkins, and for failing to abate
the nuisance promptly when Tt quested to do so.—
Uf der the ordinance the fine can be repeated eve
ry dry whilst the nuisance exists, and we have no
doubt will be.
Oave Security.—Peter Jlottes gave b*o before
tbe Mayor yeaterday for bis appearance at the
next term of the Hastings Court to answer the
charge preferred against him on Saturday by Ka
trina Nagle.
Rapid Driving.—W. J. Lynham was ftaodby the

Slipped the Cable—George Neigh got glorlonsly
rum-fuddled last Sunday night, and then picked
out a soft board in the first market to make a lodg
ing place; but after falling asleep, the escape of
steam from his olfactories created such a noise
that the watchmen discovered his whereabouts
and caged him. Yesterday, on being bronght be
ore the Mayor, he promised to lead a sober lite
tn future, and was thereupon discharged.
Well Done.—A negro fellow called Geo. Brown,
got into a regular row last Sunday afternoon with
another darkey, and when ordered to desist by a
gentleman, became so rude and impudent, that he
was fastened upon and caged, after a desperate re
sistance. Yesterday morning tbe Mayor heard all
the facts, and then sent George to the Valley Tj",
there to be introduced into the embrace of fed
bess, and properly marked with a good cow akin.
The Persian Army at Herat.—The following
extracts are taken from a letter which appears in
the Moniteur de VArmee, of Prance, of thesthinst.
written, it is stated, by an European officer serving
in the Persian army before Herat:
The Persian army consist* of 25,000 infantry, of a
body of cavalry which occupies the whole of the
•urrounding country, and of a regular siege train, the
whole under the command ef a General in-Chief
named Tzix Khan. The siege works are directed by
a French officer of great merit, formerly a student ac
the Polytechnic Schoel. The batteries are command
ed by Captain Kiiz-z. a Persian offlter of considera
ble talent. Tha cavalry is under the command of an
Austrian office:. The principal engineering opera
tions are being directed against Fort Nouchky. which
is the key of all the external wo>ks. By the latest
accounts, dated the 2d of September, the breaching
batteiies bad opened against the southern face of this
work, and if it were taken, which appeared proba
ble, the fall of Herat wou'd be certain. There would
then be nothing to oppose to the besieging army
but an old bastioned wall, built in 1839, which could
notresist areualar attack properly led. An English
officer, late ot the company's service, d'rects tbe en
gineering operations within tbe town, but issa Khsn's
army is in a complete state of demoralization, and
every day numerous desertions go to swell tbe Per
sian ranks. The Court of Teheran ha* is this war
undertaken a holy eruude, whioh does not seem to
be generally understood in Europe.
The Obstructive Fire at St. Louis.—A dis-;
patch published in the Dispatch on Saturday stated
that a fire at St Louis on Wednesday night de
stroyed $500,000 worth of property. Among the
sufferers were the following :
Betts Si Malleo, wholesale grecers; J. H. White
law, grocer and commistion merchant; Naples pack
et boat stores office; Aoderion, Larnorfux it Co , li
quor dealers; W. H. Jennings, do.; Brady k. Brother,
grocers and commission merchants; W. O. Wheeler
ii. CO., grocers; S.J Wetherell At Co , produce and
commission; U. Reidnel it Co.; liquer dealer*; Great
Western Railroad Co's office; 8 aanderson, grocer;
Jara%s K. Darst, liquor dealer; Clark &l Co., seal a and
tafe dealers; 3. M. Kdgell it Co , wholesal produce
and commission merchants; Martin £ Power, liquor
dealer; Simmons & Leadbester, grocers; City Hall
Saloon; J K. fclder, commission merchant; O P.
Theobald it Co , commission merchants; H. White

of the Netherlands; Angelredt it Bartb, grocers and
commission merchants; C>reoran it Mnlhollanddo ;
McEnnis it Co, provision and commission; John J
Roe, wholesale grocer and commission merchant.
The St. Louis Republican says .
The fire raged uot long before the walls commenced
falling in, first that on the north end, then the parti
tion; thirdly the rear, afterwards the front, and ulti
mately the entire uppsr stories. Several barrels of
whiskey and kegs of powder on the premises, explo
ded, and caused much alarm.
These buildings were among the finest in the city.
They formed a block of eleven five-story houses, were
built some three or fonr years ago at a cost of about
$175,000, and were sold a year or two ago to different
gentlemen of this city. As well as we recollect, 8. B.
Wiggins, Col. K. Campbell, Dr. Joseph Clark, the
estate of John Kern, Jas. H. Lucas, Felix Coste, and
perhaps oue or two others, are the present twneri.
Ker more than an hour tiakea ef fire filled the sky,
threatening destruction to that part of the town im
mediately west of it, but no farther damage was
done. The wind wss from the east, savins the
boats at the levee in front of the burning bJeck, but
endangering everything to the west of it.
Ehock or am EaaTHQUAKC in Kintvckv.—The
inhabi lasts of this city were aroused from their
slumbers about 4 o'clock on Sunday last, by the
somewhat appalling shock of an earthquake. The,
vibration, w.uch was accompanied by a heary wind
wu very sensibly felt in several adjoining towns'
and lat ted for a time variously estimated irom ten
■econds to one minute. This was the fourth shock,
that has been felt in this region during the last five
or six weeks, and wastbe loudest and longett of the
series. We only hope tbat the slightest visitations
we have had may not inaugurate another such con
vulsion of nature as occurred in 1811, wbea the
mighty waters of the Mississippi were stopped io
their onward conns, and their current made to re
verse its Qow—Hickman Argut, A at. 14.
Sufferings in LißeaiA — The New YorkCol»ni
