AMUSING TRLALS FOR THE FLITCH.
The Flitch of Baron ; or, the Custom of Donmow,
By V%'. Harrison Ainswurtn.
Perhap6 it may be clairuod fta a.-? illustration of
an increased love of truthfulneea in the good
j eerv®iive6 of E.asex, thai the “ Flitch” hx-» not i
been claimed by any niirriod couple ftinoe 1751, :
for there will always be personß incrodulous enough j
to doubt toe Boandnese of any claim, paat or pre
tjoct. Indeed, we may put it to the reader, how j
many married couples ot hi» own acquaintance he j
he could eonacientioaely «wear that they
had lived togetner in perfect amity for a twelve- .
month aud a day, and never for a moment, !
offended each y’her in tboeght or deed or word i
Let him read the terms of tne oath, aud theu ro
ve* in tin mind the whole c rcle of hi,a friends.
The Oath
You shall swear by Custom of Confession,
That you ne’r made nuptial trangrea>ion ;
Nor sine*: you wrre m*rried rain and wife
DJ heuv hold brawls orcantvntious strife,
Or otherwise at bed or at board
Offended each other in deed or word *
Or since the parish clerk said Amen,
Wifhtd yourse.ves unm&rrird again :
Or in a Twelvemonth and a Day
Repented nor in thought any wav :
But conrinued true and in desire
Ab when you jo. ned hand* in hAy quire.
If to these condition* without all fear,
Os your own acocrd you will free y swear,
A whole Gammon of Fa:on you shall receive,
And bear it hence with love an.] good leave ;
For this is our Outturn cf Danmow well known ;
1 hough the pleasure be ours, the Baoon’s your own.
Tho lifit of rejected claimants, an given by Mr.
Ainsworth, is a long ono. In 1702 the claim of a
tailor watt disallowed because it w»«8 proved by a
credible witness that Tabitha, his v/ife, had on ono
occasion styled her husband 4< the ninth part of a
man.” The next couple had received tho flitch,
but words ensuing between them as they got into !
the chair, tho prize was held to be forfeited, and 1
they were deprived of it accordingly. A claim on I
the part of Sir Conyers do Gaunt, of Waltham, <
and Daina Arabella, his spouse, excited much at- 1
tentlon, owing to the importance of the parties,
and the peculiarity of the circumstances.
“Considerable disparity, it appears, existed be- I
tween the pair in point of age—Sir Conyers being 1
nigh seventy, and described as a battered old beau j
while Lady de Gaunt was a very beautiful young
woman, of three and twenty, who had been an f
actress, and was well known by hor maiden name 1
of Bell Fairbank, but not a whisper had been
breathed against her fair fame. Twenty witnesses
were examined. All proved for entire happiness |
of the parties; and some declared they had never
seen such a couple before. This phrase appearing
ambiguous, was explained by the witnesses to <
mean that they had never known two wedded
persons bo much attached to each other. wenty- f
first witness (a female) declared she had once
heard her ladyship say, 4 Bettor bo an old mun’s t
darling, than a young man’s wurling.’ Held an I
objection ; but might bo overruled, if nothir g t
stronger appeared. Next witness (u discharged I
housemaid) bwo o sho had given her ladyship a t
note, which hud been huslily oonccaled a» Sir t
Conyers was* heard approaching. Mr. Hutnbrum, <
the head valet do chambre, had given witness the (
letter. Mr. Hum drain recalled, reluctantly M t
mitted the truth of the statement, and being
further interrogated, confessed that tho noto was (
from Charles Clipsby, her ladyship’s cousin, who 1
had been forbidden the houao by Bir Conyers.— t
Why wus Charles C ipshy forbidden the house 1
To this demand from tho ourt, Mr. Humdrum I
professed utter inability to reply. The next the t
last witness, Juliana Clipsby, wife ot the before- i
mentioned Charles, declared that her husband was t
neither cousin, nor relation in any degree to Lady I
de Gaunt, but had been passod off as such as a
blind, for purposes which would bo apparent to
the Court, when ahe read a letter from her lady- t
ship, which sho had taken from h r husband’s <
pockets, whorein Sir Conyers was described as an t
old dupe and dotard, with sundry other epithets i
by uo means complimentary to him, or expressivo i
of affection on the part of tho lady. The Court (
declined to hear the letter read in full, and at once 1
rejected tho applica ion. Memorandum to this case: j
Sir Conyers not only lost the Flitch, but his wife t
into tho bargain ; for, separating from her in con- |
sequence of the disclosures made in the coarse of
the investigation, ho subsequently obtained a di- i
vorce.” <
Humphrey Chick weed, ot Romford, and Lettice, t
did very well til! they came to tho couplet:
“Or since the pariih clerk Aid amen, j
Wished yourselves unmarried again.”
Hereupon Lettico remarked that people oould net »
help their thoughts. Beil g questioned as to the <
meaning of the expression, sho replied that “sho t
might sometimes have thought she had better ro- f
mained single, but she had never given utterance t
to the wish.” O’ course, sho did not carry off tho
Flitch. Mrs. Tr nket, of Billerlcay. waid that she 1
could not positively swear that she loved hor hue I
band Timothy as fervently as she did on the day i
of her marngue, and therefore desired to omit
those lines : *
“ But continued true an 1 in desire
As when they joined hands in holy quire.”
But tho hardest caso of all appears to ho that of f
Dick Honeymoon of Braintree, and Thcriaca, his '
wife, who “lived in perfect lovo and amity lor a c
whole twelve month, and then, as appeared on in- $
quiry, had words on tho day over.” j 1
At the time Mr. Ainsworth has fixed for his 1
amusing story, only two* claims had been made 8
with suocostt in two centuries, and it was then the e
middle of tho third, that is, in 1750. Though a r
flitch of bacon was regulurly salted and dried, and c
proclamation constantly made al the Court Baron 8
of Little Duumow that it was roady for delivery to J
any applicants on due fu Ailment of the conditions }
annexed to tho gift, the prize was never won.
The applicants were numerous, but the condi- J
tiona were too hard. Two couples are now con- 1
ceiving themselves entitled to the prizo. Ono of
tho husbands is Jovial Jona*, landlord of tho Old I
Inn, who up to the time of the commencement of c
tho story, had not been able to mafco the necessary c
affirmation of any of his unions:
A CANDIDATE FOR THE FLITCH. y
Any, wo say, for ho had been thrice married, aud c
in ouch instance, the match was so ill-sorted that >
both parties often sighed for freedom from their
totters, Jonas’s iir-t wife was a shrew, and nover <
allowed him a moment’s peace; his second wife A
soft spoken enough, but a sad flirt, who drove him <
nearly distr «cted with jealousy; and his third cared t
more about the bottle than s he did for him. Noth- t
ing daunted, and animated by the same ambition <
as oeforo, Jonas married again, iu the full belief f
that this time his effort would bo crowned with c
success. And the odds seemed now rather more i
in his favor, for his fourth wife, Nelly was not on- s
ly fur tho prettiest of tho bunoh, but very amiablo <
and apparently very much attached to him. More
over, Nelly was as* anxioua to gain the flitch as
hor husband ; and that was something. Tho worst |
that could be said of hor whs that sho was a littlo {
<lis posed to coquetry, and liked flattery; “but ,
this,” Jonas said, “was quite natural in a pretty ,
young woman.” As to her personal graces, he had ,
boon Known to sum them up thus : “There is not j
too much of Nelly—not half so much as there was ,
of my last wife, Chloe—but what there is, is good, <
and ot tho right sort. Her eyes ore brighter than ,
my lirst wife is, Kate—you recollect Kate’s black ,
oyos. eh, neighbor l —and her waist is trimmer,
and hor ankles noater than Jane’s—my second—
you remember Jenny, neighbor?—a fine woman, .
but rather too free in her manners—in short, Nel- ,
iy’s worth ’em all throe put together. I’m a lucky ,
man, neighbor—by the marry muakius! 1 am. 1
envy uo man his wife—not oven you—and I caro
not if any man envies me, seeing that I’m now as
sure of the flitch as 1 am that my name’s Jonas— .
Jovial Jouas— ha ! ha!—l mean to claim it when
tho time of probation i» over. So look out for rare
doings, neighbor—*-rare doing—ho 1 ho !
The character of tho other couple, their devotion
and ultimate triumph, and how Nelly’s coquetry
destroyed hor husband’s hopes aro all pleasantly
told, aud the ghost story—for it is too much to ex
pect an entire volume from Mr. Aiusworth without
a little episode of that sort—makoß an agreoable
shade; for, like Professor Anderson’s magic,
though very mvstcrious ; it can all be explained.
Jovial Jones, sad to say, cried as well a* his wife,
having, in a moment of excessively high spirits,
nad tho misfortune to meet his pretty servant
Peggy just under the mistletoe. Tho little inci
dent that followed had a witnoss, too, in the girl’s
lover, and all this came out at
THE TRIAL FOR TUE TUTOn.
Carrotty Dick objected to be sworn, but a glance
from Peggy, who was clos*. at hand, quickly
brought him to, and ho gulped down hie scruples.
A very perplexing interrogatory was put to hnn
by the court. Hud ho ever known hit master
gailty of indiscretion? “ What maun 1 say to
that, Peggy ?”—Dick rourod, amid the general
laughter of the court.—“ Speak the truth, of
coarse,” tho steward rejoined, frowning. “ What
be indiscretion, then?”—“ Making love to a neigh
bor’s wife,” the squire intimated.—“Oh, I never
k-owed mastor guilty o’ that,’ the ostler answered,
eoratohir.fr hia head.—This being all that eould be
extracted from Lhek, be was *e»t down.
Peggy came next, and she looked at Mr. Roper
with a confident smile, as much as to say, catch
me if you can. She extslled her master and
missis to the skies, and only hoped, if ever sho
married, she might find just suoh another husband
as Mr. Nettlebed. Did her master ever exhibit
jealousy of his wife ? Jealousy—not ho . There
wfts’nt a patieuter man breathing than Mr. NetUe
bed. Was his patience ever tried, then. ? Oh
Y6S, he put up with a great deal. A groat deal of
what—scolding—ill-usage—bad tamper—what!
Oh no, nothing of that kind. Missis never scolded,
and never waa ill-tempered, and master submitted
to everything. Perhaps sho considered submis
sion a merit in her husband? The greatest merit
he could possess. Mr. Nettlebed never said
“ No” to his wife, and consequently was the best
of husbande. Did Mrs. Nettlebed ever make any
unreasonable requests of her husband? Unrea
sonable—no. Master never denied Missis anythin’
she asked. If he did grumble a bit, it was behind
her back. Then he did grumble occasionally?—
Os course. It was human na’.urc. Everybody
grumbled. People couldn’t live without it—True.
And therefore, perhaps, Nettlebed sometimes
grumbled!—A little/ maybe, now and then. Bat
Lor 5 bless vou, never before master. M’.sms never
let him ree a cross look, cr hear a cross word,
1 however much she mast be pnt oat. Oh ! then,
she was put out sometime. With her husband—
-1 eh ?—Lor’ bless you, no—with Dick—witn cook—
with Tom Tap*ster—with me—never with master!
Mr. Roper declined to ask any more questions, j
, and Peggy went down, faliy satisfied with what
i she had done.
BecaH Carrotty Dick,’’ ibe squire cried. And
as the retl-poilcd*ost’er re appeared, with a c’oad
upon hia brew, he said to him—“ Captain Jaddoek
has affirmed that he saw some familiarities be
tween yonr master and Peggy. What is year
opinion s# to the correctness of the statement?”
‘•My opinion be that it’s true,'’Dick replied,
with gloomy rage. “ I siw him kiae her, myself."
“ Oh, indeed—when !•’
“ Last Christmas, under the mistletoe bongk—
bat l’?e cideu kiss her sin^.”
“ You have!” Nelly screamed. 14 Oh J the faith
less little wretch. rv V *• 1>
»* There, now you have done it, Dick, I eegy
cried ; “and you have done for yourself, toe—for
vou shall never havt me. ~
44 x dunna care,’ the ostler replied, sullenly—
“l’ve had my revenge. . .
There is an air of rurai-simplic ty and pviai.iV
in this book which is almost as new in such stones
as it is refreshing wnen found. e Mr.
Ainsworth had never applied his imagination to
less objectionable scenes.
A Posxr. —A young Jonathan took it into his
head one day to get a wile. He accordingly
looked about h m, and ver> scon made such a
selection as suited him, and was not long in dik

| loli xnoe*: Their Causes.
ihe general theory embiacad by some leading
meo of science, (aays the Scientific American,) in
| retereucc *o the cause of volcanos, is, that they
p.ie t: e smoke pipes of the gre» r fire iu theiutercr
of tins earth. They believe that we live on the
i t°P a huge white hot cauldron, and that volca
noes in different parte of the world are merely
j of ihia internal fare. The following arc the
| views ot Prof. Billiman, of Yale College, on the
subject, emoraoed in a lectare recently delivered
j in New York city.
! “The interna: heet of the earth is proved by di
! reel experiments. A gentleman is still living in
Paris, who first caliea tho attention of geologists
and philo-ophers to this subject. He was one
I of the scientific men who accompanied Napoleon
| to JSygypl, when he went ou that expedition—for
Napoleon took witn him not only tho weapons of
i war but he took a much more important cohort—
that is, men of science, aud art> and literature,
: able to explore and examine all the antiquities
of that in-tel important and venerable country. A
great literary work resulted from this expedition
which proved to the world that the interor of the
earth was in a heated state, bringing together lacte
already known, in regard to mines aud springs.
The general princi* lefnuounced, ha» been follow
ed up repeatedly by deep boring*, called arte-ian
well*. The very deep wdl in Paris had boon
worked upon lor seven years, without reaching
water, when Arago came forward, and gave the
Government a*tsurance that ii they would contin
ue the work aud go through the beds ol chalk,
they would in all probability, find water. They
continued their work through the chalk, when the
water rose op iu a great volume of twelve feet.
Thin waterstill Uowb there, snd doubtless will con
tinue to flow till the end of time. This water was,
likewise, found to be very hot. Many other arte
sian wolis have been made all ovor for
various puposes, and the uniform result has. been
that we find tho earth increasing in heat the iower
wv go down. Add to this the testimony of
who work in very deep mines, and we ascertain
the tact that the rate of boat increase* about one
degree 'or fe- to r deseem tTlaf If Vo .
were to go down two miles, we should find boiling
water, and at ten miles wo might reasonably ex
pect to find ignited rocks. Is all, theu, beneath
us on fire ? lam not prepared to say, wilh some,
that this is the case although there is strong evi
dence to justify such a theory. Witness the Gey
sers of Iceland, where hot waters aro gashing ip
from the earth age after age aud century after C3ii
tury. The result of all observation on spiings
goes to show that they are thermal—that is of a
higher temperature. The Azores present a very
important fact in example. The hot spring.- of
Lucca, in th Appeniue Mountains are large
spouting springs of a high temperature, so copious
that they nmy be relied upon for hot biths all ’he
year round. Another ca*o is the hot springs of
Bath, in England. These aro t!“-e more remarka
ble, as thore are no volcanoes in tho Britis Islands.
We knew that, from tho time of the Romans, these
water.- have never ceased to gush un in vast abun
dance.
“ The hot springs of the Rooky mountains are
also very important, and the great Salt Lake in
Virginia ia very hot. Taking the artesian wells
and the thermal springs, we have from them tho
best evidence of tho heated lemperaturo of the in
ternal portion of tho earth, and this is placed
beyond nil question, by the great volcanoes in the
world. And hero we have decisive evidence that
the heat which will me’t the solid reck is not
connected with any external cause ; for among tho
cold ioy, mountains, there are volcanoes burs
ting up to the height of 12,000 feet.
“In Bpain and South America we find great vol
canoes bursting out. The fact is, the world is on
tiro. It was kindled at the time of its creation,
and has been burning ever since.”
Dr. Autisol, of New York, recently delivered a
lecture, in which the same views are developed ;
as he embraces the electrical theory he certainly
milituteft agaiust, the nebular theory. Both agree
as to the internal heat; namely, that wo livo on
the top of a furnace.
Subterraneous Rivers of Florida.— A writer in
the Floridiau & Journal rs\h the upper stratum
ot Florida, rest* in ono vast network of irregular
arches ofst*pendens magnitude, through w hich
innumerable rivers, creeks, and mineral water?,
in silent darkness perpetually flow. Wakulla,
Ocilla, Warcisaa. Crystal, Homosassa, Ckesiouits
ka, Wickawatcha, and Hilvcr Springs, aro the
principal rivers. Thecreebs of this denomination
are too numerous to mention; most of them afford
fine Mill Site?.
They too, partly or wholly navigable for
the smaller cla.sK of steam and tai! vesaels through
out the entire distances of their subterraneous
courses. Those that are not, can be made so,
with comparitivoly small troublo and little ex
pense.
In view of the gloomy prospect of having rail
road** or plank roads to any great extent in Flori
da during this generation the writer thinks it wise
to .dear out these subterraneous passages, con
necting them by canal cuttings with the open or
navigable parts of the rivers
They ?ro numerous, aud can bo made efficient
for one hundredth part ot the expense and trou
ble that would be required to buiid rail and plank
roa< s to effect the fame amount of service.
Mineral Springs of Florida. —The sumo writer
says tho number of Minerti and thermal springs
is more than two thousand. Their principal solid
ingredients are the sulphates of lime, magnesia,
and sodaoxidu of iron aud some iodine. Their
volatile ingredients consist of sulphuretted hy
drogen, carbonic acid, ai d nitrogen guses. These
gases soon evaporate if the water be exposed in
un open vessel to the atmosphere; its'taste then !
becomes insipid, in Homo instances eitlior magne
sian or aorid. Tho mineral springs invariably
emerge from tho bottoms and margins of br.ys,
rivers, and water courses. At higbwater mark, '
on the noble bay cf Old Tampa, many chalybeate
springs bubble up through the white Band. Many
hundreds of sulphur springs gush up through the
bottom audou margins of the Suwannco river.
Those thermal springs which have as yet acquired
the greatest celebrity for curative qualities, are
those at Nowport, Hu wan nee, and Orange Creek.
Os all the thermal springs in Florida none nur
paases in their sanatory virtues that at Fort Brook
on the Ooklawaha river. This valuable medicinal
caldrou, this Bothesdan boiling pool, like evory
other oarthly good, is attended with its concern i
tant evil. It spouts up in, and is surrounded by, a
wet spongy swamp. The ebullitions of the waters
of thip thermical spring are so violent as§ to eject
very small brilliant pebbles.
It Florida bo so thicklv imbedded with mineral
ores, will it not clash with the theory of Professor
Agassiz who says that Florida was built by the
coral worm and other marine animalcule ? And
that it took thorn upwards of ono hundred thous
and years to accomplish it ? It will require r. good
deal of subtle metaphysical reasoning to make a
faithful Bibliast aeqaiosoo in this docterinc, or
convince othor pbilosphers that nitre, sulphur
arsenic, carbon, irou, and multitudinous volcanic
aubstancOA are congenial to the tastes and labours
of these minute marine Architects.
A Fancy Man in Female ArYAnEL.—lnnutnbera
ble instances have oecurrod lntoty where females,
actuated by a dosiro of vindicating tho principle of
woman’s rights, have seen flt to “put tnobreeehoa
on,” but we have rarely heard of a case where
masculinity has thought proper to robe iteolf in
petticoats. A carious instance of this kind wits
developed in this city ou Thursday afternoon.
Officer Godwin saw a figure, purporting to bo that
of a lady, coming out of a hair dressing establish
ment not very distant from tho h*ad of Ilauover
street ; and although a thick green veil wan
worn by the unknown, a glimpse of the profile
satisfied him that the person was not what tho
outside appearance would peom to indicate. He
accordingly followed the suspicious character np
Washington street, und through half a dozen cross
streets, changing hifi dross four times to avoid the
observation ol tho “chase.” At length, having
arrived at the corner of Gardenier and Tremont
streets, he accosted the stranger with “How do
you do, sir?” After some parley, the gentleman
owned tho deception, gave his namo and residence,
and begged to be let off. The mysterious charac
ter turned out to boa resident of a neighboring
city, Providence, li. 1., is a member of the church,
and belongs to the legal profession, lie gave
various reasons for his conduct, the most rational
of which was, that from youth bp he had always
had a fanoy for wearing female apparel. Upon his
arrival here, bo put up at one of tne most fashiona
ble hotels, caused his namo to bo placed ou the
registor as Harriet Daniels, and completely de
ceived tho landlord, attendants, and guests as to
his sex. Upon visiting his room, the officers
found two trunks, one of them containing half a
dozen beautiful and costly lady’s dresses with all
tho necessary paraphernalia, jewels, triukets,
gegaws, <fcc. The officers could not restrain tbeir
mirth as they overhauled tho ribbons, laces, puff
combs, corsets, bustles, artificial breast works,
fancy slippers, <fec. Upon th© representations of
a gentleman who knew him, the officers wore
induce to release the eccentric personage, thus
depriving the police court gentry of a rich scone,
the arraignment of a young man, five feet three
inches iu hei ht, for promenading the streets iu
the oper day, dressed as a fashionable belle.—

Good Advicb.— The New York Herald give? to
Oi Virginia tho following advice, in connection
wirh the recent Buckingham Convention. Tho
Richmond Pott thinks the advice first rate—capi
tal—bet like moat “good advice,” it iB as
obvious as remarks on the weather, aud much
more easily given than followed. It is taken, how
ever, in the spirit with which it was given, and
with a just appreciation of the warm Southern
ground occupied by that paper :
“We mu?t admonifth tne Virginians and South
erners generally that conventions, and reports, and
resolutions, are not the thing—they are well enough
iu tLeir way ; but it is work, work, practical work,
which cleaves a passage through the mountain?
for the locomotive, and makes the highways of the
ocean smooth and practicable, and regular as clock
work—it is work, genius, capital, enterprise, which
makes cheap good* and profitable markets, which
line the seaboard with cities and the interior with
busy towns and villages. Resolutions by Virgin
ians to buy goods of Virginia direot importers,
when they can be had of them as cheaply as from
New York, w li amount to nothing unless the V;r
ginia importers are provided with the facilities for
importing as cheaply as New Yorkers. Until such

Thb Minx Tree —la a narrative of travels on the
Amazon and Kio Negro, just published, Mr. Wal
lace describes an extraordinary tree, called the milk
tree, which w?a one of the first winders he saw
near Pare a. The fruit is eatable and fail of a very
juicy pulp, but strangest of all is the vegetable
milk, which exhudee in abundance when the bark
is cut. it was about the consistence of milk, and
but for a alight peculiar taste could hardly be dis
tinguished from the genuine product of the cow.
Mr. Leavens ordered a man to tap some logs that
had iain in the yard nearly a mouth. He cut
several notches in the hark with an axe, and in a
minute the rich sap was running out in abundance.
It was collected in a baaon diluted with water,
strained and brought up at tea time and at bre&k
--\ next morning. The peculiar flavor of the
milk seemed to improve the quality of the tea,
and gave it ae good a oolor m rich cream; in coffee
it is equally good. The milk is also used for
glue, and it is said to be u durable as that made
uae of by carpenters.
The Late lieu. Towtos.
Niithiin Tew? n was a native, of and
w-d appointed to tho servici from thflfJ&ate on
the 12th of March, IS!2, a? a contain of ital 2d Ar
tillery. Oa the sth of August, of thAttyear, he
embarked at Bai Philadelphia* with a
newly recruited company for the North. served
gallantly on tho frontier to the end of the war.
Among his services the assistance he rendered
iu the memorable cteploit of Cnpt. Effiott, the
naval commander on Lake Erie, in cuttin , out the
British armed vessel Caledonia, on the givAitioon
ot the Bth October, 1812, under the guns of Fort
Erie, won for him the brevet of major. Tht
Caledon’s was richly laden with furs, wor.k $150,-
000. Fitly British prisoners were taken, twenty
three American prisoners were retaken, and only
four killed and seven wounded on the American
side. Capt. (at’.erwards Com.) Elliott mentioned
Towson in very high terms in his despatch after
this exploit.
On the 17th July, 1813, he received a severe
wound, while repelling au attack of tho enemy on
the out works of Fort George.
At the glorious ba T .tle of" Chippewa, Towson and
his gallant artilleries greatly distinguished them
selves. On the 81 July, 1814, Mujor General
Brown mentions them, on Chippewa P ains, as
having “gallantly commenced” the action of that
day. Oa the sth, the great day, when the Niagu
ra was crossed and tho Fort captured, Towson
continued to distinguish himself, and from t e
despatch of Brown, dated on the 7th, it secrjMhat
“Towßon’a Artillery” and “Scott's Brigade” wer-;
iu the thickest of tho tight, and contributed no
little to tho ?,uceot ; s of that great day. “Towsou’s
company,” says this despatch, “had a full oppor
tnnity ot distinguishing itself, and it is ’■ thieved
no company ever embraced an opportuiJjjr with
more zeal or more success.” Iu May, lfijjj. Tow
sou woe appointed Brevet Lieutenant Ooijuel, for
distinguished and gallant conduct at Chippewa.
In December, 1814, wo read that “tho vouthfnl
and gallant Towson, a Baltimorean, whose battery
for its terrible flro was known by the v 3my a*
•'the liaht hqqae,’ was .with.. X-'- hy
‘Xl*T~c».L;jiitj ot KutMo, wvtnout dit-tlactieoof

sOn the 7th January, 1815, Col. Mitchell and
Lieut. Col. Towson partook of a.splendid public
entertainment given in their honor at Baltimore
by the citizens. Among those in attendance were
Major Gon. Winfield Scott, and othor distinguish
ed m litarv and naval offieors. The Major presi
ded, and tnoro was no distinction of partr.
Col. Towson was retained at the reduction of the
military establish ment in May, 1815, where his
name up - oars second on the captains tint, iu the
regiment of light infantry, with his brevet rank
attached; and on the 20th April, 181 G, we find
this record in Nile’s Register: “Our gallant
townsman und friend. Lieat. 01. Towson, has re
cen'l} inun ied a daughter of Caleb Binihim, Esq.,
of Boston.”
He w&s appointed Paymaster General of the
Army in August, 1819 ; in June, 18*21, ho wus ap
pointed Colonel in the 21 Artillery by the Presi
dent, and rejected in May, 1822, by the Senate ; in
the same month he wa> reappointed Paymaster
Genera!, an office which he filled moat creditably
to the day of his death.
In June, 1881, he was made Brevet Brigadier
Genoral ; aud in Mav, 1648, ho was brevotted
Major General “for meritorious conduct ; particu

I.im« Water a Remedy for Diarrliu>m.
Me*Bi<£. Editors:—l have long wished to com
inuiiicate to the public my remedy for the above
disease, which, at this season of the year, i 6 so
prevalent in some form or other; but the number
of useless, and sometimes mischievous, nostrums
published in the papers, lius caused aomo hesita
tiou on my part. But, believing as I do, that it
i* a valuable temedy generally lost sight of, 1
think it my duty to give publicity to the following
facts. The public can use or discard them as they
plea.se.
1 lay claim to no origiq#lity iu this matter, as it
was lirst suggested by “Youatt,” an
English wruer on the horse. lam aware that it
is an old remedy, but I believe it has never been
curried to the point I huvo carried it, to wit: that
of neutralizing the acidity in the stomach by ef
tervcsconco, when I huvo n. vor known il to fail in
several years domestic practice.
Some four years since, ono of my neighbors lost
some eight or nine cases by hemorrhage of tho
bowels, ft mude its appearance on my place, when
1 treated it with nothing but lime water, wilh tho
addition of a moderate doso of o i after the di
arrhcaa was brought under control, and 1 nover
lost a case. 1 believe that, it will prove the be3t
remedy ever yet used lor Cholera.
Tho first case in which I tried it was very inter
esting. Tho patient, a man about forty
uge, was luken with the most copious evacuations.
He said that another would be his end. I thought
bo too, ns the last and several of the preceding
were very v olent. I gave him a naif pint of the
solution ot quicklime, as ntroug as the urislaked
limo would make it, but perfectly clear ot sedi
ment. He had scarcely swallowed it before he bo
gan to sneeze violently, and :aid that he was fry
ing iu his stomach, ilo never had another opera
tion—no fever, and was well in halt an hour, ex
cept as to debility. I have had occasion to try it
this summer with similar success. I none case it
was checked too soon, and produced icvor, but the
patient soon recovered of that.
lam no advocate for quack medicines nor am 1
a believor in panaceas ; but I believe that the
remedy can be accounted for on chemical princi
ples. If so, 1 trust that 1 have given no offence
to the Medical Professsion, whom I have ever re
garded an tho “Goo Samaritans’* ct the onntry.

Increase of Property in New York— I The
New York Express gathers from an official report
of the Board ofSupei visors, some astounding and
almost incredible figures in regard to the increase
in value ot real and personal property in th© city
and coui ty of Now-Vork.
The total valuation of tho real and personal
property in tho county is $402,021,784 72, against
$418,081,088.72 lastyoar, being an increase this
year of $43,890,651. Os real estate alone, tho to
t»l valuation tkia year is $836,800,896.50, against
$294,687,295 last year, being an increase in favor
of this year of $85,668,151.50. Os personal estate,
tho total valuation this year is $131,721,388.22,
against $118,994,188.94 in 1853, being an increase
Ibis year over laot of $14,702,076.95. In tho valu
ation of real estate, every ward exhibits u large in
crease, tl.e least amount being iu tho 10th ward,
ar d even there the difference in favor of this year
is put at $97,150. The largest increase is in the
18th ward, the figures exhibiting a difference
there, in favor of the present year, of nearly six
millions of dollars. There aro eight other wards,
the iocrea- e du each of wbich over last year, is be
yond a million; the 2d and 15th ward each ex
hibiting a difference of nearly four millions and a
half: the 19th ward nearly four millions; the 12th
ward over three millions; the 8d and 20th wards
or l a ovor two millions and a quarer, and the 18th
ward nearly a million and a half.
Os the other wards, the increase Is in the 6tb,
9th and 10th wards, over S6OO 000; and in the
4th, 7th, Bth, 18th and 14th, tho difference is above
$1250,000, while the 11th ward stands next to tho
10th in point of smallness of increase, the diffe
renoo being but a little over SIOO,OOO. In the per
sonal c it ate, a decroase in valuation is exhibited in
the Bd, 4th, sth, Bth and 11th wards—the diffe
rence in tho 3d amounting to over a million. In
the 3th ward the difference is the next largest, at
the same time, it does not reach half a million,
while iu the olh and llth wards, it is but little
over $100,090, and in tho 4th ward it does not
oven roach that figure. Tho total of tht decrease
in tin.* valuation of the personal estate does not
reach two millions while tho total Increase is over
fourteen millions. Tho increase, in real estate in
each of those wards, which shows a decrease in the
valuation of itis personal property, more than makes
up for the latter, exc pt in tho llth wurd, where,
after deducting the increase of the Teal from the
decrease of the per?*onal property, ftheri is a de
crease still of nearly $50,000. Tne richest ward
(adding tho valuation ot tho real and personal es
tate together) this year, as it ever has r eon, is, of
course, tho first; tho total amount is now set down
at almost ninety millions, against a little over
eighty millions last year. The next richest ward
is the 18th, then the 15th, both of which sura up a
valuation *of ovor $40,000,000. Then comes the
2d and 8d wards, showing ouch a valuation of
about $80,000,000, and next the 21st ward, whore
the amount is put at about $25,000,000. — Balt.

A Short Stort.—D.ckaos tells the following .
story of an American Sea Captain :
In his last voyage, home, the Captain had on |
board a young lady of remarkab.e personal attrac- j
lions—a phrase 1 use ae being one entirely new,
and one you never meet with in the ne w papers. :
This young lady was beloved intensely by five j
young gentlemen, passengers, and in turn j
in love with them ail very ardently, but Without
any particular preference for either.
riot knowing how to make up her determina
tion in this dilemma, aba consulted my friend, the
captain. The captain beings man of original turn
of mind, says to the young lady, ‘dump overboard
and marry the man who jumps after you,” The
young !adv, struck itb the idea, and being fond
of bathing* especially in warm weather, as it then
was, took the advice of the captain, who had a boat
ready and manned, in cas* or accident.
Accordingly, next morning, the five lovers be
ing on deck,'and looking very devotedly at the
young lady, she plunged into the »ea head fore
most. Four of tne lovers immediately jumped in
after her. When the young lady and her four
lovers got out again, she says to the captain—
‘‘What am Ito do now, they are so wet V Says
the captain, ‘-Take the dry one!” And the young
iady did and married him.

quently they could not be in fighting order on the

Important Political Moves.— lt is teleg-aphed

bearer of a Prussian note, aud w ; ll proceed at
once to Vienna. Prussia, in this document, in
vitos Austria to join the Cabinet at Berlin iu pro
posing fresh negotiations for tho re-establishment
of peaoe. This demand upon Austria is said to bo
■n consequence of the Russian answers in which
preliminaries were proposed which would have to
precede the negotiations for peace, r.ud which
would only oommonce after the Four Powers had
approved of the acceptance of the protocol of the
9th April, by Russia. The Emperor Nicholas, in
his answer, makes the possibility of negotiations
! dopeadent upon the manner in which tho evacua
tion ot Turkey would take place.
Continental letters express doubts as to the in
tentions of Austria, and state their belief that the
real difficulties of the war are only commencing;
that if Austria could secure the free navigation of
the Danube her further opposition to Russia would
be doubtful. In Berlin there was e feeling of pub
lic depre.ss : on from the belief that the Prussian
cabinet was assisting Russia by a pressure on tho
Austrian Government. The English and French

Letter from Right Rev. Thou. F. Scott, Bishop
of Oregon.
Salem, Oregon Territory, 12th May, 1854.
Messrs. Editor? :—You perceive I auto from the
eeat of government of this Territory. The to wu bats
Borne 800 or 1,000 inkabitauta, and ia situated upon
a beautiful plain on tho Wilaraotte, commandiug a
fine view of the Cascade range of mountains to tho
East. It is laid out upo : a handsome plan, and,
from tho present position of tho buildings, one is
reminded of tho worda applied to Washington—
“the city of magnifleont distances.” In tho centre
is a large oblong aquare, upon ono ond of which a
very neat Court House is nearly finiohed, and upon
tho other, tho State House is in process of build
ing. Immediately adjoining the town is the
“WilaricUe University and Oregon Institute, 1 "’
established by the Methodists. It hus a oonmio
dious building, erected upon a fine tract of land,
containing, perhaps, fifty acres. It is, as yet, in
its infancy, being a mixed school for boys and
girls.
I have been no further up this valley than the
village of Albany, about twenty-five miles above
this plrco. During tho winter and spring, btep.m
boats asce .d, still further, to Marysville. So that
the river is navigable for. at lenat, a hundred and
lifly miles. Baii vessels of considerable size come
without difficulty to For Hand, which is twelve
miles above tho confluence of this river with tho
Columbia. From that point to Oregon City is also
twolve miles, where navigation is interrupted by
by tho lulls. Around this point the scenery is
grand. Facing to the south, you have before you
the fulls, dashing aiid foaming over a rugged
precipice of twenty-five foot, sending np from tho
bosom of the horse shoe a constant cloud of spray.
On cither hand, at a few paces from the river, the
rugged cliffs tower up to the heights of more than
a hundred feet. The poetry of the spot, however,
is already marred by several mills of different
descriptions, and at no distant day it will bo an
important manufacturing town. Well, 1 dare a*y,
the material comfort will be a full compensation
lor tho loss of tho pootry.
So far as my brief excursions from the river
have extended, I am delighted with the country.
Tho prairies are rich and easily brought into culti
vation. Sometimes they aro vast plains, and in
other plaoea they arc quite undulating. But in
both instances tuey are interspersed with abun
dance of timber—fir, cedar, oak and ash. Tho
f;round is now covered with wild flowers of every
me, and with native strawberries of delicious
flavor- Altogether, from what 1 have aeon and
heard, 1 suppose tho WilameUo valley is unsur
passed by any portion of oar oountry in richness
of soil and beauty of sconery.
As one gpeoimen of tho latter, standing on the
elevated ground in tho South-West part of tho
city of Portland, and facing to tho East, ono haa at
his feet the busy and growing town, und tho fine
river with its boats and brigs. Beyond this
stretches the undulating plain covorcd mostly with
a dark forest of fir and cedar. Still beyond this
rises the Cascade range of mountains, stretching
away North and Bouth as far as tho eye can gaze.
Beforo him ascends, in tho centre of this range,
the lofty Mt. Hood, oovered with eternal anow.
To his left, amid the distant undulations of Wash
ington Territory, looms up the beautiful St.
Helens, and, still farther in the North West, Mt.
Adams shows his bald pate ever the ragged pro
file of the Cascade. In certain positions of tho
run, these snow summits are gorgeous and bril-
Hast beyond description.
This, however, is the fair side of tho picture of
Oregon, and it woro a pity to spoil it by any minato
account of other realities. And indeed, I have not
jot beoome sufficiently acquainted with the coun
try to venture upon an account of its population,
their mode of life, state of improvement, dec., &c.
Things arc certainly in a somewhat primitive state,
as one might suppose. Just now money is scaroe.
and there is a very general oomplaint of hard
times. Mach of this might have been prevented
if tho people had rightly employed their resourooa.
But it oould not be otherwise when they import
floor, butter and bacon for tfieir own supply.
With such a soil and cli -rate, for grain and grazing,
this is inexcusable. However, much more abun
dant crops are new planted, and, in several ooun
tiea, Agricultural Associations have been formed,
and the people seem determined to tarn over a
new leaf.
Quite a discussion ip. now going on with reference
to the formation of a State. The qaeetion is to be
decided at the bollot box next month. There
seems to be qaite as much political fervor here as
in the State*.
In a few days we return to Portland, which is
our rallying po'mt for the present. In aboat ten
days, I hope to make a tour through Washington
Territory, as far as Puget’s Sound and Hteiiocoom.
Perhaps I may find something to communicate.
Yours, very truly, T. F. S.
Sale of Ecpsian Tkkbttort.—The New-York
papers siate confidently that despatches from the
Russian Government arrived in the Pacific, offer
ing to sell to the United States the whole of tho
Russian territory in North America, comprising
the western coas of the continent, from the Arcti.
Ocean to Observatory Inlet in lat. 55 on tho Pacffic
and extending inlana as far as long. 63 deg. This
territory oomprisen the best whaiing sta’ions in
the Northern Pacino, and if annexed to the United
| States, would give to our whalers important ad
vantages. Its possess;cu would secure to us the
i whole western coast of America, from the Arctic
j to the Mexican boundary, with the exception of
1 that portion belonging to Great Britain, lying be
tween 42 degrees and 54 degrees 40 minutes, say
i come 35u miles.
Russia’s motives in selling is no doubt to divest
nerself of territory that she cannot defend, and
which she knows will be seized by the English
cruisers if not transferred to the United .States.
Indeed, it is said that as soon a* it was known in
England that the purchase of Russian Amer ca
had been suggested to this government, the Prea:-
dent was notified that the British fleet in the Pa
cific had received orders to take Sitka. These a re,
is yet, but rumors—they are not, however, im
probable, for several reasons. It is known that a
treaty of neutrality between the two governments
has been agreed upon, and it is paid that a special
Russian agent will soon arrive in this country to
negotiate the sale alluded to, and to present a pro
position for promotion and extension of the com
meiciai relations of the two countries.
Novel Build in® M ateiial.— The gravel-wall
j for bunding dwelling houses, factories, and public
i buildings, appears to be coming iLto vogue in this
vicinity. Messrs. Howard, Davis & Go., have
: nowin process of construction, of this material,
i in Waltham, a spacious factor}, to which they wiil
remove as soon as it is completed. It is three
stories in height, and the walls at the second story
are .ourtaen inches thick. The cost ot the struc
j :ure will not probably exceed $15,000; bat had the
; walls been of brick, it would not have coot less
; than $25,000.
The gravel-wail is compoeed wholly of shape
less rocks, sand and small Btones, mixed with
mortar, making a composition, which, on becom
mg thoroughly dry, is perfectly hard and firm, so
that the wail, instead of being formed of strata of
rock, i» a solid mass closely resembling pudding
stone.
It is said by architects, that the material prom
ises, to be quite as durable as brick, and superior,
in ail respects, tj wood, and that a house c»n bo
built of it, fora tenth part c f the cost of a brick
building of same corresponding dimensions.
There is an octagan shaped dwelling house now
being completed in Somerville, tho wails of wbicn
are of this material. It is 30 feet in diameter, an
two store in height; it is owned by ...
Gallagher.. The walla of the Church which wm
| soon be erectedin Summerville for the K e

' Liter from Havana—Arrival ol the Isabel.
The U. S. mail steamship Isabel, Capt. Hollins,
from Havana via Key West, arrived at Tybco yes
terday afternoon at half-past 4 o’clock. Sfco
brings advices Irom Havana of the morniugof iho
22d, and from Key West of the afternoon of the
same day.
It will be seen by our Havana correspondence,
that the late revolt in Spain was anticipated in
Cuba. This would seem to establish au identity
ol interest and purpose between the revolutionifta
is the mother country and on the Island—a fact
of no little significance.
Havana, July 21st, 1864.
Since the dale of my last, few occurrences worthy
of note have come to my knowledge. Business has
somewhat rovived under the demand tor Sugars
principally for the Spanish Market. The brokers
board quote one half real advance on dry sugars
in boxes. Mouoy is still scarce and wo can hardly
anticipate any material improvement, until tne
next crop shall begin to come forward.
Humors 6til! reach us that negotiations are pond
ing for the salo of the Island. That the Spanish
ministry have hold eat hopes to Mr. Soule, that a
transfer might be peaceably obtaiued, there is little
doubt, and quite as little* in the minds of those
well informoa of the political condition of Spain,
that the sole object has been to delay any military
expedition, private or national, from the United
Slates, and give lime to reinforce the garrisons,
all of which is now being done with all the activity
tho state of tho financial department at home will
permit. It is well known that tho Queen and the
Absolutist party would willingly soil this Island,
or anything else Spain possesses, to replenish a
completely exhausted Treasury, but they well
know that an attempt to carry out tho measure
would unite all tho other parties, which, whatever
inky bo thoir differences on other points of po icy,
would amalgamate upon this. Several provinces
are already very uuquiet, and need but little ad
ditional motive to tise against the Queen and her
Ministers, who have rendered themselves extreme
IV Obnoxious to many or thoir own party, through
the vices and corruptions of themselves and their
satellites. The Queen has been repeatedly hisso i
upon tho promenades and at the theatroe.
If any movement should coimnouco, it would
only terminate in the complete destruction oftho
Monarchy. Tho present Miuistry are fully con
vinced that they cannot maintain their present po
sition without “material” aid, aud have made a
forced loan under the name of au anticipation of
the revenues. They oount largely upon a greatly
increased revenue from this Island, from the sup
pression of smuggling, and also from the newly
imposed capitation tax upon all negroes not em
ployed in agriculture. 1 very much doubt that any
effective increase will be realized. Smuggling will
soon re appear again with as much force as boiore.
The officers of the Custom House cannot possibly
live ou their legitimate gains, and much less en
rich themselves at the expense of tho Queen. This
is the only motivo evory officer has for coming to
this Island. Tho augmented military forces will
inoreasovery much tho expenditures, and wo may
reasonably doubt, that there will bo any surplus
to remit to Madrid.
Tho Island will never be sold; it must bo con
quered or icvolutiouizL'd. It may be loasible to ob
tain tho recognition of the independence of tho Is
land, but with such restrictions in favor of Spanish
productions and shipping as would bo wbuoxious
to the Creoles.
The lately promulgated docreos have made more
converts to annexation than could have been made
by any other means. Tne Catalan planters seo
plainly emancipation in prospect, and fully beliovo
thatßpain will be ootnpelled to succumb to British
influence, and decree the emancipation at least of
all negroes illegally imported. I stated in my last,
that there were somo indications thut the Regis
tration of tho negroes would be postponed until
now orders should arrive from Madrid. Tho ro
portthat counter orders had been given wbb so in
dustriously circulated by the Fulace aatelletes,
that I was partially deceived ; but I now know as I
then feared, thut tho object to quiet tho public
mind until tho measure should be quietly carried
ihrough. Tho lists have been made out by tho
owners cr managers of the estates ; but in no ono
instance has tne local officer personally visited the
estates of his jurisdiction or made any opposition
to admitting the lists as they wero presented. Still
yll tho negroes could not possibly have been regis
tered as native born. Notwithstanding tho de
cree* against tho slave-trade, denouncing evory ono
engaged in it and threatening them with tho ex
treme penalties of the laws, thero ho te mote than
two thousand negroes beon landed within the lost
thirty days, and more aro daily oxpectod. It is
true that oftho whole number, 1085 have been
captured and distributed among some filly appli
cants as apprentices. Great purado will soon bo
made of this fact, as proof that the Spanish Go
vernment is now acting in good laith, and roally
intends to terminate the inhuman tratlic. If the
English Consul, oonld be bribed to silence, we
should never hear oi a single negro being captur
ed, if the landings oould be made without allow
ing notice of them to reach the Consul’s ours.—
Those ol tho Spanish officers would be so her
metically clos d by Catalan ounces thatthey would
not be able to hear anything, or even see what was
passing under their very uoses. Tho immaculate
Gurrca has received over $20,000 to close his eyes
and ears to aii which took place in his district at
and near Trinidad. The representations of tho
English Consul, however, could not be passed
over, and tlie negroes ftbovo mentioned woro ta
ken possession of by tho Commission which was
sent fiom boro. The holders of the negroes, re
lying upon the inviolability of their estates until
tho Ist of August, wore careless, and tin commis
sion was fcompolled to see the negroes, much
against their wills. Heredia, tho chief of the
commission and nephew of Pezuela, is notorious
hero for hisignoranco aud susceptibility to bribery.
Art one oi iiiiu jvtJg©-* d” r t thr
best price he could get, and no doubt anticipated
a rich harvest at Trinidad; but the openness with
wbioh the landing and Bale of the negroes woro
made, left him no chance to smooth ovor the mat
ter and blind the Consul, as hao been done in other
canes.
The enlistment of tlie Negro troops appears to
have stallod. Many difficulties have attended tlie
incorporation cf them iuto the Regiments. On the
15th, a general order Was issued distributing the
military forces over the Island in six divisions or
brigades. There are now ninetoou regiments of
tho line, besides tpo Rural Militia, Lancers, Civil
guard and Black troops. Oue hundred and two
Creoles have accepted the amnesty grauted by
Royal order of March 22d, and most of them have
returned to their homes; among them aro 29 color
ed mulattos and negroes.
Wo aro anxiously waiting tho arrival of the next
mail from Cadiz. It wili probably bring informa
tion as to tho intended movement of O’Donnell
and his party, in opposition to the powers that bo.
Private letters by the last mail repronent political
matters as showing an aspect very unfavorable to
the Absolutist psrty. Tho yellow fever is very
fatal still among the sailors in tho harbor, but there
have beon no deaths among tho residents since
my la*t of any persons of note. D.

Death of mu Last of the Survivors of the
Massacre of Fort Gri3wold. —Dr. Avery Downer
died at his residence iu Preston ou Sftturdayjnight
last, at the ago of nearly 92. He had been in the
regular practice of his profession as a physician for
full 70 years, and respected to the last for his pro
fessional character. Dr. Downer was tho last sur
vivor of those who witnessed tho bloody massacre
of Fort Griswold. He assisted his father, who
was surgeon of a regia ent of militia on duty at
tho time, in removing aud taking caro of the
wounded on the occasion, who escaped immediate
death from the oonflict with the British soldiery.
We believe he has never until tho last year failed
to be present whenever the anniversary of that
battle waft celebrated, and he always mingled with
those who celebrated it with an enthusiasm that
bespoke his patriotic devotion to the cause of the
country and to the principles ot which the partici
pators in that gallant conflict were tho most devo
ted exponents. Tbe death of such a man hh I)r .
Downer deserved the notice that has been bestow
ed upon it, and even more. Tho American flog
was kept at half staff on the city flag staff during
the day yefcterday, and we wish it never had beou
or nover might be in future desecrated by 'ess
worthy dernonstra'.ionH. We were only sorry that
no similar testimonial of respect waved from the
crumbling ramparts of oid Fort Griswold.
P.S.— Wm arc very glad to »ec, this afternoon,

has caused the “ lfog of our Union” to flow from

Stock Gambling and Faro Gaaibung.—The
Providence Journal should not call upon the emi
nently reepeetuble gentlemen 'a).o have made,
are making, or expect to aiako fortunes by block
speculation-, to answer such hard questions as
those which follow :
“In what respect is the gambling in the stock
exchange better tuan at an ordinary faro bank ?
In what respect is buying stock on time better
than betting on a card ? Wo can bee many res
pects in which it is much worse ; but we can bee
none in which it is not worse. It ih od a grander
'icalc. it corrupts a better class of men, it leads to
enormoubly greater frauds in which innocent par
ties ar« in vol ved, it destroys confidence to a greater
extent, and interferes more with the legitimate
operations of trade. If there be any respect in
which stock gambling is better than faro we do
not know what it is.
“And yet while faro is prohibited, stock gam -
bling is allowed. And while the men who make
and lose fortunes at faro are shunned, these who
play upon the ventures of the stock exchaneo are
received into the highest circle- of finance *n
welcomed to the highest distinctions of soci •
The standard is not correct; the distinct • *
true; and the rapidly de v elo pi ng re-aiu h gpo b .
portable gambling must open the J the bam e

Tiie court, it appears from the decision publish
ed at length in the Sentinel, is of opinion thui so
much ot the act of Congress as refers to the com
missioners for decision, the questions cf tact
which aro to be established by evidence before the
alleged fugitive cun bo delivered up to the claim
ant, is repugnant to the constitution ot ilie United
States, and therefore void, for two reasons ; first,
because it attempts to confer upon those < fficors
judicial powors ; and second, because it is a denial
of the right of tho alleged fugitive to have those
questions tried and decided by a jury, which, the
court thinks, is given him by tho constitution of
the United States. And in support of Un«e posi
tions, it proceeds to quote various authorities, and
to argue and enforce them at length. Wo quota
involved:' ' n ' m<,rkß ° nho <“urt on thepomtu
ar,J awwe that it has been saul that tho pro
ceedings botoro the comupsaionor do not doter
inino tile question of freedom or eleven-, ibnt the
fugitive IS only sent back to tho State horn which
he is alleged to have escaped, ami that when ho
reaches there he is a freeman or a slave, as his
statue shall bo determined by the locai law. It is
further said that these proceedings are analogy* lo
those by which the fugitive irom justice is deliv
ered up, to bo taken lo tho Stato from which ho
has escaped, that a person may h 0 arrested by vir
tue merely of au indictment, founded on the tili
davit made before a magistrate, charging him with
treason, felony, or other crime, committed in son 0
other Mate, and that upon tho production of a
copy of tho indictment or affidavit, certified U h au
thentic by the Governor or chiof magistrate of tho
State or Territory from which ho lied, he shall be
belivered up to bo taken back. It is said that as
this proceeding does not deprive tho per. ou ol his
liberty in the sense in which that term is uted in
the constitution, but merely delivers him up, 10 be
taken lo the Stale, where, according to the indict
ment or affidavit, the offence was committed to bo
dealt with according to the louil law; so neither
lo these proceedings accomplish more than the
nerc transfer of the alleged fugitive to the State
vhoro, as is claimed, ho oweajscrvicc or labor, by
force of tho local Jaw. Wothir.k this is a mista
ten view of the question. The lugitive from justice
ho is delivered to au agent appointed by hover
lor of t. 0 State whore the offence is uileged to have
>een committed, without any adjudication upou
he question of his guilt or innocence; in other
yards, he is delivered lo the officer of the law,
md is in tho custody ot tho law lor the purpose of
jeitig taken lo tho State wbero alone ho cun be
ried lor tho ulloged oltouco. But tho cuse is very
different with tho alleged fugitive from labor.—
Lliore is an adjudication before tho commissioner
dmt lie owes service or labor, and that ho has
escaped. By fotce of tho act of Congress u: der
consideration, the record made in tho Stato from
\vhich ho is said to have escaped, is conclusive
Bvidenco that hie status is that of :i slave.
Tho commissioner is obliged, if his identity is
proved, bo to adjudge, and tho certificate, which
is giv3u to the claimant, is given, became tho com
mission©! has so adjudged. -Moreover, the com
missioner can only give the certificate to tho claim
ant, who must be the person to whom tho laber
orservico in due, his agent or attorney, and ii ia
given to him for that reason, it is not material to
inquire what tho condition of the person will be
when ho has been taken to the State where the la
bor or service is said to be duo. lie may regain
bis freedom, but it ho dees, it will bo by lorce of
the law of tho Si ate ; mid not by virtue of the ret
of Congress under consideration ; for under that
he has noon adjudged a slave, nud by force of it
ho has boon taken as a slave by tho person adjudg
ed to be h.s owner, his agent, or attorney, from
tho Stale whore he was nrrcßtod, to the Suite from
which he is alleged to have escaped. V.'c aro there
fore obliged to conclude that tho alleged fugitivo
from labor is taken back to die State from which
lie is said to have escaped, not as a person raoroly
charged with being a slave, but as a person who
has br.cn provod and adjudged to boa slave, und,
m we believe, without duo process of law; with
out having his rights passed upon and determined
by ft jury of his peers. Wo think it essential th«t
Ids right should bo maintained-by ail courts und
ail tribunals; and for the reasons above giver., wo
must affirm the order made in this case, diseharg
ing the relator.
The above decision was rendered on the 19th in
stant, and on tho nest day, Booth was arrested by
tho Federal authorities under an indictment found
against him nine days previous by tho Grand Jury
cl the United States Court at Madison, "Wisconsin,
for aiding in tho escape of tho fugitive. Booth was
committed to jail, but a writ of habeas corpus was
to have boen sued out on tho 21st, to seeuro hi*

Tub Ooi.li.\*s Ptkam22s.—The Collins Arctic Ift
having important alterations made, which itio be
lieved, will considerably incroase her rate c f speed
and will reduce her consumption of fuel nearly
one-half. Tho improvement is tho inveut on of
Mr. Collins himself. Tho Arctic is expected to bo
ready for soaby tho 29th instant, when a trial trip
in order to test tho new machinery, will be ma le.
The pnblio look with great anxiety for tho result
of Mr. Collins experiments. Tho New York Her
ald gives semo particulars of tho proposed im
provement:
It is wall Imown that the groat roason why steam
navigation has not boioro this timo suporoeeded
all other modes of transnorlaiion, is on account of
the excessive cost of fuel, and the great desidera
tum is to increase the powor and diminish tho
cost of steam. Now how is this to be done ? Eric
sson says, by using hot instead of steam. But
then the difficulties are so insuperable in bis plun,
that we understand be has givon up this idcu, and
adopted the change Mr. Collins is about to try on
board tho Arctic. Tho neoret of the whole matter
is, that tho tho stoain, after it passes from the
boiler, is carried by pipes back through the furnaces
and submitted anew to the action of heat. This
process converts it into what is tecbinically called
slam. It has boon found that this stum has from
thirty to fifty per cent, more expansive power than
when in the form of steam after it leaven the boil
er. This increased force is, of course, a clear
saving of a proportionate amount of fuel, and the
effect will be to render unnecessary such large
supplies of fuel. It will also ifl’-et a great saving
in store room. The saving ol 4') per cent, ot fuel
is by no means atriflo. One of the Collms steam
ers uses eighty tors of coal a day. This would
rnako from 800 to 1,000 tons for every trip aciosft
the Atlantic. Estimating tho value of coal at $5
per ton, this would make the cost ol fuel p« r day
S4OO, and for a trip, counting its averuge length
ten days, $4,000. As each steamer crosses the lA
lanlic thirteen times a year, when they run regu
larly, he yearly oxneuse for each steamer must he
over $50,000, and tor thethrea steamers $150,000.
if tho improved? machinery is successful, und they
sueoeed in saving 4o per cent, it will amount to tho
snug sum of $02,000, all clear gain.
An Association ov Lamkh.—The ladies of Rich

Eagle Factory Struck by Lightning. At about
7 o’clock on tho evoning of the 24th inst., a cloud
spread over the city, charged with electricity, frrm
which a bolt fell upon tho Eagle Factory. The
body of »he fluid followed the lightning rod to the
Picking Room and there diffuned itwolf—settir g
the cotton in on fire. At the first tap of tho
fire bell our efficient Companies hurried lO
the : r engine rooms and in a vety short lime the
whole of the carding and picking departments were
flooded with water and the tire extinguished.—
They were much aided in their work by the su
perior construction of tho building and the engines
of tho Eagle and Howard Fac orics. The ceiling
of tho Picking Room is of zii e, which, neverthe
less, was melted, so hot wore tho flames. The
damage is ostin alcd at from $1,200 to $1,500 which
is fully covered by insurance.
The military were on hand and kept guard over

Savannah Police Court —There was much and
quick work yesterday in tho Police Court, Alder
man Gumming presiding in the absence of tho
Mayor. There w ere some sixty cases on the docket,
and tho whole were disposed of in about 4 hours.
This is administering justice without delay und
furnishes a striking contrast to tho celebrated case
of Jamdyce and Jatrulyce recorded in “ B cuk
House.” The acting Mayor deserves credit for
this dispatch, especially as in many of the c«sea
witnesses had to be examined and lawyers to be
heard. Tho amount of tinos impose 1 wa* over

At this rate, the public will not be surpibed that
a disposition is mai.ifes’cd in certain quart* rs, to

Toe number of persons wbo have reaction ban
