LATES FllOYl FKA\CE.
New-York. October 3, 1832.
Our news schocm r Kciipse, arrive:! m town
last night from the Havre packet ship France,
Capt. Funk, which sailed from that port on the ,
21st September.
The Editor of the Courier and Enquirer has
received by this conveyance, files o{ Havre and j
Paris journals, the former to the date of the I Oth
September, the latter to the 20th.
The affairs of la igium and Holland appear to i
be assuming a serious character, if w • may be
lieve the Paris Correspondent oi the Journal Du :
Havre; he states on the 19th Sept, that the I
Conference in London had almost ceased its de
liberations, finding it impossible to produce an
arrangement of the questions m dispute. Lord
Palmerston, the Bri ish Ministers, however, still
continued his endeavors alone, and had trans
mitted to the Hague, a project fur the definitive j
settlement of the different {joints unadjusted. I
This step had not been more successful than
those which preceded if, and six days before the j
French Government had received intelligence i
from their Ministers at the Hague, Inc Marquis
of Dalmatia, that the project of Lord Palmerston
had been rejected. A cabinet council was im
mediately summoned, and on the 1 It!j instruc
tions were transmitted to M. Durand do Mareuil,
the French Ambassador at London, of winch the
following is said to be a copy.
“ We have learned from our Minister at the
Hague, that the proposals made by Lord Pal
merston, have not even been taken into consid
eration by the Cabinet ol the King of Holland,
and in consequence, we .'ire convinced that the
project of Lord Palmerston, will never receive
unv attention from the Northern pow ers, it hav
ing been drawn up and sent without their parti
cipation. The question ot Holland and Bel
gium is however oi too vital importance* lor Jvu
rope, and particularly for li. M. Louis Philip,
to allow the Ministers of 1 lis Majesty to hesitate
longer about bringing it to a close. It is abso
lutely necessary that in I iis Majesty s speech at
the opening of the Chambers he should be able
to sav, “ Allah's between Be/guun and Holland
are adjusted,” or else, “ lie arc compelled to
have recourse to violent measures to bring about
a settlement, of'the differences between Belgium
and Holland.” You will communicate to Lord
Palmerston the instructions we now send you,
and you may add, that confiding in the friend
ship of his Britannic Majesty, the French gov
ernment considers it indispensable to send a note
to the King of Holland, in the names of France
and England, announcing to him that a short
delay will still be granted him to give a decisive
reply to the different proposals which have been
made to him, on the subject of his difficulties
with Belgium—that his silence will be consid
ered a refusal to accept the said proposals ; and
that the French Government will then consider
itself obliged to have recourse to arms.”
w-mrae instructions lurtimi uirccttiic rrcnch
Ambassador at London, to invito the English
Cabinet to unite with the French, in adopting
coercive measures, if the demand about to be
made of the Dutch Government, should be as
unavailing as the preceding. While waiiinga
reply from M. Durand dc .Mareuil, the French
Ministers had frequently assembled to deliberate
on this important subject. On the 171!i Sept,
the Council of Ministers met, and long discus
sions ensued, without deciding any thing—at
last it was settled that each one of the Minis
ters should reflect separately on what coercive
measures should be taken ; and on the 18th it
was determined to resume the old project of as
sembling a fleet at Cherbourg, to act in concert
with the English fleet. M. do lligney will com
mand in person the French Squadron. Mar
shal Soult has declared that it would take but 8
days to place Marshal Gerard with 30,000
troops at Antwerp.
These resolutions have been sent to M. Du
rand de Mareuil, that he may submit tie m to
the consideration of the English cabinet. Grders
have been sent by telegraph to assemble an army
on the frontiers of Belgium, it appears that be
sides the army of 30,000 men which is to enter
immediately in Belgium, another army will be
formed on tlie frontiers i.i case u large force
should bo necessary.
An angry correspondence lias passed between
Baron Chasse, commanding the citadel of Ant
werp, and the Belgium officer, commanding the
town —no hostilities however, had taken place.
Another account speaks of an arrangement
which would subject every vessel entering the
Schelde to the payment of a duty to the King of
Holland of one guilder per ton.
The accounts from La \ endec are again a
larming. The Duchess de Berri is si ill there,
and the royalist papers relate a number of ro
maniic anecdotes concerning her and her hair
breadth escapes.
The French Ministry had not yet become or
ganized. The Paris papers speak of different
attempts made by the King for that purpose, but
without effect. M. Guizot, the doctrin ire. was
the last person with whom negotiations-haJ been
going on.
The Duke of Brunswick, whom it will be re
collected was a year or two since driven from his
dominions in consequence of his extravagant
conduct, had been arrested by the French Gov
ernment, and transported probably :o Switzer
land. He had before been ordered to quit the !
country —having attempted to raise troops in
France with a view of reconquering his king
dom.
It is stated in a letter from Lisbon, that Don
Miguel had offered Don Pedro to settle their dif
ference by a duel. There is probably no more
truth in this statement, than there was in that
circulated during the life of Napoleon, that the
Emperor Paul of Russia had proposed to him to
settle their disputes in public combat.
Nullification began to excite considerable at
tention in Paris. The address to their constitu
ent*, published by the Nullifiers at Washington,
during the last session of Congress, has been
translated in the Journal du Commerce, with
some articles on the subject from this paper and
the Pennsylvania Enquirer.
A Courier from Madrid arrived at the Spanish
Embassy on Sunday, with letters from that capi
tal to the 11th, and from Oporto to the 6th inst.
The army of Don Miguel was verv much dis
couraged, and dared not act on the offensive; the
■commaodont Lopez de Rigna, having little con
fidence in the fidelity of his soldiersAhad applied
ioi.is sovereign for new reinforcements. In a
despatch addressed by the General-in-Chief of
Dc n Miguel’s army to the Minister of the Marine,
be s that unless the mouth of the Doure be
blocked up, it will be impossible for him to at
tack the rebels, whose forces are continually in
, ere; sin 2. —Don Miguel afraid of sending out his
fled, as Admiral Sartorius is still cruising off the
. Tagus, has sent the despatch of the General-in-
Chieflo Madr.d. 'Phis dispatch, it is said, was
accompanied by a letter from Don Miguel to his
| uncle Ferdinand, by which the former proposes
I the son nig of some Sj • n ?h vessels to the Dou
i ro, under the pretext ol iil treat men‘.said to have
sen < ifireti to the English Consul. The af
fairs ofD n P o are I king a favorable turn,
the nemy ventur* ah attack, he will bye de
! Dated. A retreat without attacking would be
; fatal to bun, and a state of inaction would not be
i much better. The accoun-s from Spain are not
very sal is factory. It is asserted by letters from
; Madrid, that in Andalusia, Jose Maria’s band of
(JueriMas is increasing, and that two duels have
raised the standard of liberty. It appears that
: the Courier above mentioned brought instruc
tions for Count ci’Ofalinto urge the conclusion of
I the Portuguese affairs, as a prolongation of the
j struggle might be of serious consequence to
j Spain.
Punts, September 18, 1832.
The Official Bulletin of the Cholera, on Sun
j day, states the deaths in the hospitals to have
bet n 4, and at home 6. The new <• ises admir
ed into the hospitals were 2, and the patients dis
charged cured 8. During Saturday, Sunday
and yes erday not a single death from Cholera
j occurred in the military hosjuitals of Paris.
The Swabian Mercury, under the head of
| Rhenish Bavaria, September 9:h, says : “ The
mania for emigration to North America still :n
--i creases in this country.
We have just learned that 30 persons, each
possessing a Capital of from 20,000 to 2.7,000
florins, have agreed to make one common stock,
and proceed to America.”
The Sluggard Universal Gazette of the 12th
inst. has the following, dated Frontiers of Poland,
August 31 :—“Many of the Ukases now issued
are not officially published. Thus the Ukase
which declares the sales of landed property of
emigrants n ill and void, lias merely been com
municated by a note from Marshal Puskew itsch
to the Finance Committee, stating that the will
of the Emperor must be executed. The palace
of tiie late Society for promoting Knowledge has
been presented 1o the city of Warsaw. A great
number of the Poles whom the Russians are in
corporating in their army escape their fate by
flight, and others by suicide ; yet there are
many soldiers who still keep up their spirit, and
though surrounded bv Cossacks who conduct
them to Siberia, sing patriotic songs. Although
the population of Warsaw has greatly decreased,
the number of coffee houses has doubled. There
the Russians spend their time, for private hou
ses arc shut against them. The licentiousness
of the women of the lower classes is without
bounds. A translation of Mr. Fergusson’s
motion, printed at Dresden and secretly sent to
Warsaw, is circulated through the whole town.”
ADDRESS
Os the Executive Committee to the Temperance
Societies in the State of Mew- York.
That season of the year having now arrived
when it is proper to commence active operations
for the still farther advance of the temperance
cause, the Executive Committee of the State
Society deem it proper to throw out a few hints
to their various auxiliaries in this state, not in
the spirit of dictation, but with a desire to se
cure, as far cs practicable, unity of purpose and
unity of effort.
\\ bile it is meet and desirable, that all should
arise, and arise immediately to action, it is ab
solutely necessary to success, that this action
should be properly directed; for unless it is,
much labour will not only be lost, but much good
prevented. And as a means of giving the di
rection required, it is necessary in the view of
the Committee,
1. That every society, an i every member,
should have their minds property imbued with a
sense of the magnitude and importance of the
work they have und /'taken.
For the want of this many societies, and ma
ny individuals, either entirely neutralize their
exertions, or else their efforts are feeble, desul
tory, and soon relaxed, and the work languishes.
Let every one feel in regard to this reform, as
the lathers and youth ot ? 7d felt in regard to A
nierican independence—that the salvation of our
country depends upon the issue. In ’7G free
dom or slavery was the question ; in ’32 ruin,
an i degradation and shame, or virtue, and peace
and prosperity, arc suspended upon the result.
2. Let every society, and every member of
every society, feel, that even now is the crisis of
our fate hi regard to Intemperance.
In all human probability, the labours of the
j coming season, if properly directed, will turn
the scale. Nothing is more certain, than that
one more vigorous effort, similar to the one made
last fall, will place the majority of the people of
this state on the sale of reform ; and w hen that
point is once gained the work will be compara
tively easy, and the advance rapid. A stone
rolls much more easily down than up a hill ;
and to sail with the current, is less arduous than
to sail against it.
3. Let every society, and every member of
every society, remark, and keep steadily in
view, the favorable circumstances under which
the labors of the season commence.
Another year of experiment has passed, and
passed with success. Former theories have
been confirmed —former facts more perfectly
substantiated, and new facts disclosed ; a great
er amount of tab-nt and influence has been en
listed ; the prejudices of thousands have been
removed, and light has been carried into every
department of society. And there is another
thing : the cholera in its ravages has not only
furnished evidence in confirmation of former
theories, but it lias developed a variety of new
facts, from which the most unanswerable argr
cß
nants may be drawn. Now, unless men close
their eyes, they may see, that the use of ardent
spirit is not only unnecessary for persons in
health, but that it absolutely invites disease, and
prepares the human body for its ravages.—Most
truly has the cholera been called the apostle
OF TEMPERANCE.
And there is one other consideration —this
has been a year of great mortality among drunk
ards and spirit drinkers. Montreal, and Que
bec, and Albany, and Xew-York, and Philadel
phia, and Baltimore, can all bear testimony to
this fact.—And now those that remain are w ith
in the reach of humanity, and with the death of
their fellows so recently before their minds, ar
guments and facts, if pressed home w ith zeal
and kindness, may save even them from the
drunkard's grave.
And there is yet one other remark—the cho
lera manifests such an affinity for the svstem of
drunkards, that they have been not unappropri
ately denominated cholera condvctors. E
very intemperate man is liable to be seized with
the cholera, and when seized he must be attend
• ed —this atMnc'ance induces fatigue and excites
[ alarm, the atmosphere becomes charged with
, dealii and those who are not drunkards Jail the
. victims o{ disease. In tins way every drunkard
• is a NUISANCE, and endangers the lives of
• respectable and useful citizens. And as long as
> there is intemperance, there may without doubt
; ; be cholera —it may become epidemic in Ameri
ca. The erreat law of seli-preservat;on then.
; requires that we redouble our diligence to re
> move so great an evil troin cur land.
; 4. The Committee wish that every society,
■ and that every member, would end avor, In op.
- j predate the-plans of the State Sock-tv, an I make
■ i an e/fort to corn/ than into effect, so far as prac
. : ticable and ex: edient.
We led a delicacy in speaking upon this one
point, vet a regard to the interests oi our coun
- ; trv and of the world, impels us to overcome
: this feeling and to speak Ire' ly. 'I ue piuns of
i | the Committee may he, and probably are. in
fj some instances, not the best tliat could have
■ : been d vised ; and they may not be s ted pre
t i cisdv to the circumstances cf every j lace.
. ! And tb.e Committee wish, that whenever the
f friends of the cause discover these or any other
■ ! defects, thev will apply the necessary remedy
i ! and the proper modification. Yet when these
| } lams are no* liable to any objection, except the
I labor necessary to carrv them in o execution,
. the Committee trust the *. iT- >rt will be persover
iugly and successfully made.
. | An 1 there is one plan, so perfectly feasible,
. 1 and promising so much utility, that the Commit
- ; tee make no apology for again pressing it upon
i j the attention of their friends. We mean the
| pirn of school district associations. Many
f j towns, and even one whole county, have enrri
■ I ed this system into full operation, and the united
. testimony of all such is, that its benefits are
greater than the sanguine had dared to hope,
i Last season it was our object to scatter mior
) mat ion. We then sowed the seed. This sea
son we can, if we will, reap the harvest. Eve
ry county society ought immediately !<> call up
: on their town auxiliaries to arise to tins work,
( and afford them the necessary aid ; and town
I societies should not wait for the county society,
• blit “ arise and work.” With proper effort, the
C first day of the year 1333 can announce to the
world, that the state of New-York has a tem
s pc ranee society in every school district, which,
| like so many rivulets of mercy, shall carry the
. benefits of temperance to every family and to
; every individual, and then uniting, form one
; mighty stream, whose waters shall go out into
all the world, to cheer and bless the human fam
ily. —Fellow-citizens: we ask you to arise to
. this work without delay. Let but the feeling
| spring up in your hearts, that it can be done,
; and it will be accomplished,
i 5. Lot every society, and every member of
every society, feel the importance of full and
. correct statistical reports.
It would be desirable that every society
• should, this coming season, present an accurate
return of the number of its members ; of the
; diminished consumption of ardent spirit ; and
i in general of every fact which will be of ser
■ vice to the cause, and aid the Plate Society in
preparing an ample annual report. And let it
be remembered that a simple detail of j acts- —
■ statistical facts —is all that is desired. To col
lect these, will require some considerable labor,
[ but the benefits to be derived will be an ample
; remuneration. And let every society bear in
. mind, that it is of itself a part of a whole—one
. link in the chain —and if it is nut found in its
i place, there is a deficiency—the chain is brok
en. Last year many links were wanting, and
some too of great importance.
6. Let every society be seasonable in all its
operations , especially in sending in its report.
For want of attention to this all-important
consideration, much perplexity has heretofore
i been caused. The Committee--will give notice
of the time when they wish the reports sent in ;
and when that notice is given, they hope to re
ceive them without delay. Finally,
7. Let every society, and every in mber of
every society, fix upon the highest taunt as the
one at which he aims to arrive, and press onward,
unceasingly in the race of re form.
Our object—is to dry up every fountain of in
temperance —to wipe away every tear caused
by this vice—to render comparatively tmneces
■ sary, alms-houses, and hospitals, and jails, and
penitentiaries, and state prisons—to drive vice,
and th misery consequent upon vice, from our
; land—‘o perpetuate and hand down to those who
shall come after us, the blessings our fathers
bought with their blood, and to make our coun
try, even America, the happiest and the love
liest upon which the sun hath ever shone—to
make it worthy of being the birth-place orTr.im
mkx and the home of Americans.

LETTER FROM P. P. BARBOUR, ESQ.
To the Editors of the Richmond Enquirer.
Charlottesville, Oct. 21, 1832.
Sirs: —l have received the following com
munication from Judge Barbour, which you are
requested to publish.
\ ery respectfully, vours,
THOMAS W. GILMER.
October 24th, 1-32.
Sir: I bog leave through you, as the Chair
man of the Corresponding Committee ofthe Con
vention, which met in Charlottesville in June
last, to make known to my friends in Virginia,
my feelings and wishes, in relation to the divided
Electoral Ticket lately presented to the people
of Virginia. lam aware, that under the cir
cumstances. in which the Committee were placed,
and the resolution ofthe Convention, under which
they acted, they could net have acted otherwise
than they did.
Recent events however, have excited deep so
lici ude in my bosom, in relation to that subject.
Within a very few days, and just upon the eve of
the election, I perceive the opposition prints, in
various quarters congratulating ;liemselv:s upon
this division in our ranks, and exulting! v antici
pating a triumph from that cause. If as these
prints seem to suppose, their anticipated triumph
should be realized —if, in consequence ofthe di
vided ticket, it should happen, that the vote of
Virginia should be lost to the present Chief
Magistrate, it would be to me, a souive of the
deepest regret. —For, from the commen cement
1 have been opposed to taking any course, which
would in any degree, endanger his re-election.
In this sentiment, I am persuaded, that my
friends concur. Indeed, I knots, that some of
those, who were most active in the Charlottes. ;
j ! vijle Convention, did concur. I mav add, that
there, as well as elsewhere, where my name has
been presented to the public, the proceedings
and resolutions, have all been confirmatory of
this idea.
Nor. do I consider this new ticket as indispen
sably necessary to the attainment of the object
j which my friends propose. For, if from the
course oi other States, there should seem to be a
reasonable prospect of my election, I think that
the Electors nominated by the Legislature would
in that event vote for me. If, on the contrary,
from the developements in other States, the pros
pect of mv election should appear hopeless, then
i the electoral vote of Virginia, even it the ticket
’; nominated in my favor, should succeed, would be
unavailing as i: respected me. Under these cir
cumstances, it is my wish, that my tnenas
throughout the Commonwealth, should vote for
Tie Legislative ticket.
I do not presume to dictate to them; but I feel
assured, that they will receive these suggestions,
in the spirit in which they are made. 1 indulge
trie hope, that, in the present posture of political
• tiki rs, they will agree with me as to the pro
priety of this course. If. however, they, or any
portion of them, should entertain a different
,i inion, 1 appeal to their candor and sense oi
justice, for a correct appreciation of the motives
e Teh have induced me to make this communi
cation.
With sentiments of esteem,
1 remain vours respectfully,
P. P. BARBOUR.

FROM THE CHARLESTON MERC CRY OF XO\ . O.
; OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH, f
November 4th. 1832. i
Fellow-Citizens. —ln addition to tlie commum
j cation made by His Honor the Intcndant, llit
Board of Health have required mo to give this
additional statement.
A case of sickness and death, occurred in
town yesterday, which has excited and con
tinues to excite much apprehension. A sea
man, named James Jackson, died hist evening it
Eiliutt-street, of Epidemic Cholera.—The suit
Jackson went from the city to the wreck—was
on board the brig Amelia, and mixed with the
passengers and crew on shore. Me was ex
tremely intemperate and slept in wet clothes—
exposed to the night air, which, in addition t<
ids inhaling the foul air of the brig, is supposed
to have caused the attack of Cholera of which
he died. Jackson was taken sick on Friday
! night, brought to town the next morning and
■ died last evening. Such 1 believe, after a care
‘ ful inquiry made by a Committee from this
' Board, to be the facts of the case, and although
1 there is no doubt of its being a case ofSpasmo
- die Cholera, yet Ido not see in it much cause
■ for immediate apprehension or alarm. The dis
-1 ease was contracted on board of the brig, and
the patient actually labouring under its effects
when brought to town ; and while the Board
feel it their duty to announce this case to the
community, they nevertheless are confident that
the cause of alarm must he diminished by the
assurance that the proper authorities have been
prompt and energetic in their proceedings, tak
ing effective measures to prevent any further
violation of the Quarantine Law.
The public may rest assured that every pre
paration necessary has been made by the Board
of Health in anticipation of the appearance of
this disease, in providing the means of treatment
for the destitute without delay and in the best
■ manner. No other case has occurred in the city.
J. M. CAMPBELL,
Chairman- of the Board of Ileal Ik.
(FT The Board of Health will meet atone
o’clock, P. M. tin’s day—and may be expected
to report daily, until all apprehension is at an
end.
We are authorised by the Intcndant to state
that, according to the official reports from Fol
ly Island, there have occurred, amongst the pas
sengers and crew of the Amelia since their
landing at that place, nine cases of Cholera
and four deaths. Five now remain in the Hos
pital, said to bo convalescent. No new case
has occurred since Friday—Wo are also re
quested to s ate that, in the opinion of the De
puty Port Physician who visited the Island, the
casus alluded to are generally the result of ir
regular habits combined with extreme impru
dence and exposure. Os the persons who have
died, one was the servant, and another the child
ol Mr. Johnston, the cabin passenger mention
ed in the communication of the Intcndant. The
others were steerage passengers.
Ot the case of Cholera which occurred in
Elliott.street on Saturday (and of which a par
ticular account is published by the Chairman of
the Board of Health) we are requested by the
Intcndant to say that the subject was one of the
individuals who had gone down as wreckers to
the Amelia, and returned to the cilv: that he
was a man ol'intemperate hqbits, had been very
much exposed, had got very wet and continued
long witii wet clothes on ; that he was taken i n
about 3 o’clock, A. M. Saturday, and died about
9 tit night—that he was immediately buried —
that his clothes, bedding, Ac. were all destroy
ed—and the house in which ho resided abun
dantly sprinkled with chloride of lime. No new
case bus occurred in the city. We are further
requested to state that the individuals who had
so grossly violated the Quarantine Regulations
by going to the wreck and the Island, and re
turning to the city, were taken into custody on
Saturday, and sent back to the Island in boats,
under the command of Lieut. Holmes. The
Lieut, delivered those who went in the boat with
himselt, to Lieut. Knight, the commanding of
ficer at the Island, but / or 8 others, who went
in another boat, escaped and returned to the
city about 8 o’clock. They were immediately
arrested, and put under the charge of a detach
ment of the Guard, by whom they were taken
to the Island, and delivered to Lieut. Knight.
Ihe persons at the Island have been liberally
supplied with articles necessary for their com
fort ; as no new cases have occurred either at
the Island or in the city, and as the persons on
the Island will be forwarded as speedily as pos
sible to their port of destination, it is Imped that
the public excitement will subside, there being
at present no serious ground of apprehension in
relation to the safety ofthe public health. The
Intcndant earnestly requests thateditors of news
papers will publish no statements in connec
tion with this subject except such as mav be offi
cially communicated by the public authorities.
FROM TIIK CHARLESTON COURIER OF NOV. ().
Brig Amelia. —According to the official re
ports from Folly Island, it appears that there
have occurred 9 cases of Cholera, and 4 deaths,
since the landing of the crew at the place. Five
now remain in the Hospital, said to be convales
cent, and no new case has occurred since Fri
day. These cases, in the opinion of the Deputy
Port Physician, arc generally the result of irre
gular habits, combined with great exposure.
Later . —Accounts from Folly Island, received
last evening, state that three of the persons who
were sent back to thatlsjand by the City author,
ities, because they had communication with the
passengers on board the Amelia , have died, viz :
a man of the name of Peter Betxer, who re
sides in Elliott-st.; a sailor, named Collixs, and
a Swced, who, we understand, died in the boat,
jon the way down. We learn that one other of
! the number has been attacked with the disease.
Tke Cholera, — Ibis disease is spreading it
self among all the towns on the Ohio river. It
has appeared at Pittsburg, Wheeling,and Mays
ville, as well as at Louisville and Cincinnati,
though in none of the first named places has it
been yet very bad.
In Cincinnati, it was, up to our last date, still
committing great havoc. On the 24th ult. there
were 18 deaths reported, and on the 25th 20
deaths.
In Boston, one of the papers of that city men
tions, on the 23d a report was made to the Com
missioners of Health of five cases of map
cholera, which had occurred in the city' ‘ '
the preceding twenty-four hours Twor-v'
proved fatal. A letter written on theevek
the 23d, says : “ the cholera is gainino- J,!'
here. There have been eight deaths to-day 0 '":
reported to the Board of Heahh, and
the Board adjourned. All in Broad-stm.-

j New-York American that an important trie j
, had occupied the Supreme Court for some day-1
t —that of the owners of the steam boat Washitij. a

, cellor Livingston. It may he remembered.:’ ■
in May, 1831, these two steamboats cam- I
, collision in the Sound—both gotng in op- . . I
directions —and the Washington was sunk i..
mediately by the shock. The present suit w ;i < i
I instituted to recover damages ; and th - test!.
■ mony, though contradictory in some particular-;
satisfied the Jury that there was negligence u
want of due attention on the part ofthe Chiu*,
cellor Livingston; and they accordingly fo®]
a verdict of thirty thousand dollars in favor of:
owners ofthe Washington—that boat was vul ;
at between 50 and $60,000.
Caution to Witnesses. —At the late Circuit in
Queens county, an action was tried in which r
John Pellet reau was plaintiff, and C. C. Moore i
defendant, for damages sustained by the plain. I
tiffin conse pience ofthe defendant’s not having I
appeared as a witness in a cause pending y.

rial witness for the plaintiff in consequence ai'liis I
absence, the damages obtained were allege:]to I
have been much smaller than they would be
otherwise been. Several points were made on J
the trial, of no particular interest to the public I
and we advert to the case only as a waniiii-' ■*• I
witnesses ofthe consequence ofdisobcyinglig. I
process. The defendant undertook to prove I
sickness as an excuse for Ids absence but tb

Immensity ofthe Universe. —Bahox Zsni.w
eminent astronomer, computes that there mav
boa thousand millions of stars in the heave;,'. I
If we suppose each star to he a sun, and atten-i- I
ed by ten planets (leaving comets out of thee • |
eolation,) we have ten thousand millions **:
globes like the earth, within what are consider
the bounds of the known universe. As tier.-
are suns to give light throughout all these sys-. I
terns, we may infer there arc also eyes to b- I
hold it, and beings, whose nature in this one im
portant particular, is analogous to our own. 1 I
form an idea of the infinitely small proportiu
which our earth bears to this vast aggregateoi I
system, let us suppose 5,000 blades nfgrae
grow upon a square yard, from which wet®'- I
by calculation, that a meadow one mile long, >■; I
two-thirds of a mile in breath, will contaic I
10,000 millions of blades of grass. LetustSr J I
imagine such a meadow stretched out to t :
length of a mile before us, and the proport < I'
which a single blade of grass hears to the v'
herbage on its surface —will express the tt- 1
tion which our earth bears to the known out--I
verse ! But even this is exclusive, probably ot I
millions of suns ‘ bosomed’ in the unkno"- ■
depths of space, and placed for ever bevond c , :

time to travel down to us since the period of". fl
