Atl. tjc and Pacific C.uai Company, and Mr.
Martin, at the request of C. Vanderbilt and Isaac
'‘\ L y, the President and Sccretury of at*id Com
. *iV. apr.liea loth authorities for pertniseior. to
land eaid coal and Im&fibc r upon Point Arena?,
opposite the city, and did obtain from Henry
Gr*nit Foote, chief magistrate of the city, and then
acting consul and agent of her Britannic Majesty,
a written permission, of which a copy is hereunto
annexed—marked C—and to which we beg more
particularly to refer; and thus tho said Company
became possessed or the present location. That
in the month o. August, 1851, Mr. Vanderbilt and
«J '• ph L. White came to Greytown in the steamer
Prometheus, wi’di the intent of proceeding up the
Sun Juan in the river steamer Bulwer, and of
thus opening the route. That upon the arrival of
Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Foote, the chief magistrate of
tho city , went on hoard said steamer Promothci
and Mr. Vanderbilt then and there made a request
of tho authorities of this pluce for permission to
navigate the river San Juan, being withiu the
Mosquito jurisdiction, which was immediately
granted. That in tbe month of November, 1851,
tho earner Prometheus being i . harbor, and re
fosing to pay her port charges, (Mr. Vanderbilt
being on ooard) sho wa- compelled to pay the
same by Her Britannic Majesty’s brig Express;
and, afterward, the said steamer Prometheus and
the steamer Daniel Webster wore also compelled
to pay the port charges by Capt. Pr*i of the U. S.
sloop of-war Albany, and by Capt. Green, of tno
U. N. corvette Decatur. They would further re
present that it became obvious t.o t. e city authori
ties that a quarantine, light-house and powder
magazine and hospital would soon be required for
thoueoofth' citizens and for tho protection of
lives and property.
The then Government, in tho fail cf 1851, noti
fied said Company that trio said Point Arenas
would bo required for Government services; ami
the said Company woro required to remove and
give up possessions of the same ; but said Compa
ny refused so to do, and continued in possession
of the same land ; and in addition thereto began
in the year 1852 to occupy a much larger spaco of
land than they had any authority or permission to
do; that i:i the month of February, 1853, the said
Company wore duly summoue l by tho city au
thor.tics to show cause, if any they had, why they
should not vacate remove lrom said land;
that & copy of said summons was duly served upon
Copt. Baldwin, tho then resident agent of said
to n{ any upon Point Arenas, or rather tho agent
of iho Accessory Transit Company—a Company
which had by a recent charterVrom the Govern
ment of Nicarauga occupied and tilled iho place of
tho «aid Atlantic ami Pacific Cana- Comp-my,
which said last in ntio.ied Company had boon
submerged into said Accessory Transit Company;
that upon ‘‘o day of trial Mr. Baldwin appeared
in Court bUorc H ; s Honor the Mayor, and uhor a
due hearing ol tho case a judgement was duly en
tered against said Cornpuny, and they wore order
ed by tho Court, in tho said mourn ot Febrmwv,
t j vacate and remove from Point Arenas. The
Company refused tu obey tho order of tho Court.
The Mayor ropreaenlod tho same to the Oily Ooun
cd, who thereupon instructed tho Mayor to give
notice that if the Company did not remove in ten
days part of their buildings, and the balance with
in thirty days, the Mayor was instructed to use the
necessary force to carry the judgment of the Ccurt
into effect—that tho said Company refused to do
so, and threatened the city authorities with resist
ance—that npon tho same being known, Mr. Bald
win, the agent, was arrested and placed nudor
bonds to keep tho peace, and the authorities pro
ceeded to take down and ro novo the buildings ot
said Company, ns dccroed by tho Court. That be
fore tho expiration of tho thirty days given to re
move tho balauco of said property, tho United
States sloop of-war Cyauo came "into port, and
with her superior force resisted and by force of
arms compelled the city authorities to relinquish
their just rights—that upon such act being com
mitted, tho then authorities resigned ail authority,
and Capt. Hollins, tho commander of the Cyauo,
agladiUfed virtual posses&ior. oC Urn said
Government and authority by tho proclamations
which ho then issued—that after a few days had
expired, the e-itiz n >, in convention, at the request
of James Green, Esq., H. B. M. Aguutund Consul,
re-formed the City Government with the consent
and approval of said commander Hollins, with the
express understanding (us will fully appear by
Commander llolliu’s letter to tho Mayor ot Grey
town) that tho jurisdiction of Greytown, or Sau
Juan del Norto, as far as regards tho preservation
of peace and order, and the pnishment of aggres
sors, was fully acknowledged by the Governments
of Great Britain and the United Statos, in tho per
sons ot James Greon, E-q., and Commander Hol
lins.
The inhabitants of Greytown being instructed
that no dispute of authority should exist except as
to the sovereignly of the laud, which question was
to be settled by tho respective Governments of
Grout Britain and tho United States. The Govern
ment being thus again constituted, proceeded to
exercise a full and complete jurisdiction on Point
Arenas, aud tho boundaries as laid down in th?
constitution of the city (a copy of which is hero
uuto annexed) until within a few months, i.e.
since tho arrival of one Joseph N. Scott, who is
the "gent of said Transit Compauv, and one J. W.
Fables who represents h meelf a Co mine rend
agent of the United States, each of which persons
have repeatedly stated they do not recognize tho
authorities of Greytown or Sau Juan del Norte,
as will more fully appear from their acts and pub
lic protests —of which copies are hereby annexed
—although tho said Fabcns Iras repeatedly ap
plied to tho local authorities for the purport) of
carrying out his consular duties, as can plainly bo
shown by his letters to tho Mayor ot Greytown or
San Juan del Norto (copies of which arc hereunto
annexed.) That such was tho state of affairs until
latoly, when sevoial circumstances have taken
place of the most willful and dangerous character
to iho pcnco an s good order of tins country.
In the first place, tho denial ot authority by tho
Company and their ageuts—as will fully appear by
the protest of Mr. Scotland the communications
of Messrs. White and Fabens.
Tho denial of all authority on tho part of the
United States Commercial Agent, and the denial
and resistance of authority on tho part of Borland,
who represented himself as an American Minister.
Tho ‘action of tho Company by their agents in
the blocking up ot the river, by which the harbor
is become much worse.
The uction of Mr. Scott in resisting tho City
Marshal in the discharge of his duties.
The murder in open day of a native cf Nicaragua
by Capt. Smith, one of the employees of the Com
pany. All of which several acts can bo fully
pr >ve<L and which erenow set forth.
Mr. Scott has blocked np. or attempted to block
up, several outlots of the river San Juan do Nica
ragua, and on the sth of May lust past and subse
queutly the following circumstances took place:
An omploje of tho Company named McGrath hav
ing been duly discharged and paid ctf, took a boat
from the Point for the purpose of removing his
goods to Greytown. Mr. Scott discovered it and
immediately ordered a beat to bring back said Mc-
Grath, but was enable to overtake the boat until
she arrived iu Greytown, when one Slomau, an
engineer in the employ ot the Com- any, who was
iu tho pursuing boat, struck and knocked down a
man by the name of Roid upon the beach of Grey
town, end thou attempted to strike McGrath, who
had taken refuge wd .in tho polico Fta’ion , but a
few of tho etlizona be : ng present prevented any
fart ter outrage. On the 6th of May 'a-.t a warrant
was issued for tho arrest of said ©lonian, for as
sault on said Keid. That the Marshal proceeded
to the Poiut to arrest said Slomau, but was pre
i vented by Mr. Scott, who refused to allow said Slo
i man to bo arrested, aud the Marshal was obliged
to return without effecting the arrest of said Slo
xnan. Upon the Marshal making his rep«rt to the
Mayor, he ordered the Marshal to be reinforced
•ud to proceed to the execution of his duty. The
Marsha! again proceeded to the Print, and by force
arrested said Slomau. Mr. Scott immediately came
over to Greytown aud obtained the release of said
j Slomau by bail being entered by Mr. Fabens for
i his appearance, and at the same time Mr. Scott
: was arrested tor resisting the Marshal. On the
j lff;h of May, 185-1, Mr. Scott filed a protest with
! the Mayor [a copy of which is hereunto annexed)
and was discharged from arrest. That the an
j thorities moreover state that they do not believe
! Th.it the said McGrath stole anything from the
Point, and are able to shew fully that not a single
ounce of wheat, or Hour, cr any thing else eloug
i ing to the Company, was in ‘he boat, and that the
j boat wa- 4 obtained by McGrath from one of the
: employees of the Company ; and they are satisfied
j tbr.ttke statement of Mr. Scott is false and untrue
; in every particular, as more fully appears by the
j statement of Mr. Codd, McLean • nd Keid, here
j unto annexed. But before me day of trial of the
i man Slornun, another circumstance, of still greater
! at: c-city, was committed by one Capt. Smith, an
e- i : ploy ee of the Compvuny,cJmmanding the steamer
| Koutb, whom the undersigned believes, from the
testimony of sever..l respectable witnesses, and the
■ .suit ot the coroner's inquest, (a copy ot which
j •> hercui.'o annexed,) eorumitl.-.d a wiitul and de
hber&te murder on one Antonio Pa!ladino, a na
| liv ® oi Ntcanigua, and a patron cf a bongo, by
1 deliberately* shooting him through the heart with
a r;Le, and in the presence of Mr. Borland. Upon
; the fact being known to the Mavcr, Mr. Seg*ad,
bsbc a warrant for Capt. Smith! which
rant the Marshal, Mr. Codd, proceeded to carry in
to effect; but on tv.- king the arrest, on board Capt.
smith's boat, tLe Kouth,C-pt. Smith resisted, and
a Mr. Borland, a person who represented himself
an American Mini;*ter, rifie iu baud, assisted
said Smith iu delving the authorities of said city,
and its Marsha!, and compelled said Marshal, a-*
well as his deputy, Mr. Patton, to desist from such
arrest, for fear ot personal violence, and said Capt.
Smith is still at large, and cannot oe arrested by
the city authorities, by reason or the resistance
thus afforded : and further, that the said Smith
accompanied said Borland to the L
(Copilot tiio aifiiaiits of Codd and IV.ioo a-e
hereunto anucxed.) Soon al.er tLe had
returned from the attempt to arrest sa-u smiib.
Mr. B. riand Chine to the city of Greyt.wn, ~ud
went to the house of Mr. Fabens, the commercial
a;ant. The inhabitant* bearing that Capt. smith
* Lad come with h;in, the Mayor ordered said bnutn,
if found, to be arrested. Bat it appears such wa?
not the fact, at;d some few r*t the inhubitants,
w.ifcout any authority, attempted to arre>t Mr.
Borland for his resistance, and proceeded to the
house of Mr. Fabens for that purpose; but the
Mayer, Mr. Sigaud, hearing of the attempt, rro
ceeded to the house, and informed Mr. Borland
that he had not ordered any such proceeding ; and
the persons dispersed, by order of the Mayor.—
Mr Borland, while t-tauding in the house of Mr.
Fa j s, was assured by Mr. Sigaud, that Captain
j bmiti, wa- ehargea with murder; but Mr. Borland
j t-aid;
“You cannot take Captain Smith onicaa job

ed told Smith sot to break his coat egain; when
deceased received the shot he foil into Carreto’s

on the boat at the “Tauro;” there was plenty ot
water for the steamer to pass alongside of the
bungo, but Smith str..k the ouugo maliciously.
Evanisto Piuercr sworn—ls 15 years oM ; is

Statement of Dr. Syfret—From the position of
the wound, if is evident that the shot must have
been fired from a higher elevat.on tnan that which
the deceased o.vupied at tne time he was shot,
which entered the breast about an inch to the left

ooliquely inward through the arterie- and interior

An Important Failure.
The Czar of Russia Taken Prisoner by an En
glish Steamer, (Almost.) —“A man gets up in the
morning on his own promises, but ’ littio* knows
where he m y sleep at night.” Tho Czar of ail
the Kasai as has lately been within an ace of offer
ing in his own porson a practical confirmation of
this well-known saying. What would tho British
public have thought—what would Europe have
thought—what would the King of Prussia in his
cups have thought—what would Omar Pasha in
his ft z cap have thought—and, finally, whut would
the Thrco per Cents have thought, if, about this
timo, theCzirofall the Rusaias, the Archduko
Constantino and the Archd: chess, and the Rus
sian A Imiral in command at Cronstadt, had been
sent homo by Sir Charles Napier in the small
steamer which had captured them? Improbuble
as tho talc may appear—impossible tho catastrophe
—it was fairly upon tho cards within the last few
weeks. The facts aro these:
A short while back, while the allied fleeets were
lying beforo Conatadt, an English yacht belonging
io Lords Lichfield and Euston, with Lord Clarence
Paget on board, ventured somewhat too near tho
guns of tho place. Suddenly a puff of steam was
Been oif the Russian Bide, and" a small Russian
steamer put out to sea, with the evidont intention
of cutting off tho English yacht. On board of ’hat
steamer wore the Czar Nicholas, his son tho Arch
duke Constantino, the Archduchess hie wife, and
tho Russian Admiral, who all wont forth to enjoy
the satisfaction of an easy triumph over tho poor
little vacht. She is, in point of tact, stateu to
have been in the most imminent dangor of canturo.
The Czar, however, was destined to bo foiled in
his anticipated little triumph, as he has already
necn foiled in his hopes of many a great one. An
E. g ish war steamer, seoiug the danger to which
tho yacht was exposed, advanced with all speed to
her relief.
Shortly eho obtained snob a position that tho
English yacht was safe, and the only question that
remained for discussion was one between tho two
small war-steamers—the one under English, the
other under Russian colors. Could the English but
havo known the valuable freight which that littio
steamer contained—could tho captain but have
known that by capturing her, or sending her to
tho bottom, poaco would have been restored to
Europe,{and probably a million of human lives,
first and last, be saved, we have no doubt that he
would have carried one or othor of the alternatives
into effect, even though his own destruction, that
of his ship, and of every soul on board of her had
been the inevitable consequence. As it was, he
saw nothing before him but a littio trumpery
steamer —he had carried his purpose of relieving
tbo English yacht into effect—and remembered
orders, which certainly had been issued, to the
effect that no English ship, upon tho mere heroic
impulse of h f . r commander, should bo thrust into
the lion’s mouth.
We have no doubt that, was Jsp._j».cd thnt. ..,£rjL
tne English captain gffvc in» •*.- . .. x or
hoad of hi 3 steamer round, he dl , so with tho feel
ing that he had very satisfactorily discharged the
duty with which he had been intrusted. Littio
did ho snpposo, at the moment, that he had lost
probably tho greatest opportunity for obtaining
personal distinction which had over been thrown
m the way of a single nu n. Tbo English nation
venerates the name of Lord Nelson for the sake
of certain littio affairs in which ho was engaged
off Capo St. Vincent, at the Nilo, at Copenhagen,
ut Trafalgar, and elsewhere, but not all these won
derful, important and heroic achievements com
bined would have had such an important influence
on the history of the world as the capture of that
little Russian ship. It was given to the captain
of a small steamer to change the face of Eu
rope in ten minutes well employed, but in pure
innocence bo missed tho chance.
It is seldom, indeed, in modern warfare, still
more rarely in naval warfare, thatmonarchs them
selves run any danger of capture. Napoleon, to
be sure, at Arcis sur-Aube, waa ©mpolled to cross
swords with a squad of Cossack* iu tho twilight,
but he was after all a general, not a king, by trade.
If wo re member right, upon om\ occasion, poor
old George 111. was in danger of capture from a
French privateer off Weymouth', and was only
saved by some marine chance has slipped
from our recollection. Iu mediaval history there
aro, of course, tho cases familiar tp every schoolboy
of King John of Franco, at Poitiers, and of Fran
cis I, after Pavia. But what eomparison would
there havo been between the taso of the Black
Prii.co welting on a mediaeval ling, who went to
battle in a coat of mail, and the grand surprise of
the Russian Czar landing at Portsmouth—not at
New*haven—while all Europe waiin commotion on
his account? We are, of course, speculating upon
history of a very hypothetical caaracter; but still
the event did so nearly occur aato justify bpecu
latidh upon its consequences.
In our mind’s eye wo can see Lords Abordeon
and John Russell communicating the information
to tho Houses in their owu dry aid cautious man
ner. What would Messrs. Bright and Cobden
have said ? What would Col. Sjbthory nave said?
Themewsman would havo gone mellowing tho in
formation about the streets, and their cries would
have beeu regarded by the testy old gentleman m
Belgravia but as mere leasings for the sake of de
ceiving the lieges and interfering with their diges
tive functions. What should wd havo doDe with
thf Czar, when wo had got him? Reckless, un
principled, and merciless as ho has shown him
self to be, we should have been anxious to treat
him like a gentloman, and make him comfortable
during his sojourn among us. But at Berlin and
Potsdam ! —let us suppose the information to have
been brought in while the glasses wero well char
ged with champagne, and tho King and uis Rus
sian friends were devising a fresh counter-propo
siti on to the counter-counter-proposition which
had emanated from tho Bamberg Conference.
The Czar is taken!—he is in England—he is in
tho Tower—he is pretty well atier the voyage—as
easy in his mind as can be expected—but he was
very seasick.
What would the good foks in Wurtemburg and
Bavaria, who have bedizened their coats with
Russian ribands and orders, have made of the in
telligence—and M. Mazzini and the Italian Reds ?
There is the Emperor of Austria, too, busy with
his levies, and rejoicing at his loan, which would
have given him still higher gratification when ho
came to reflect th*t, the war beiDg at an eDd, he
wns at liberty to apply the proceeds to other pur
There are, however, two seta of people whose
acts wo should have been most desirous to behold,
as the sac s of the capture was forced upon their
convictions. We should have liked to be in Cron
etadt while the Czai was steamed away under the
eyes of the gnrrison. Next to this, which would
perhaps have been the most interring point ot
observation, it would have been most peculiarly
delightful to stroll through the Bazaar at Conetan
t nople, and listen to the gossip of the old Turks
when they were at last convinced that their old
enemy the Czir was really within the grasp of the
Allied Power.-—a prisoner of war!
On the political consequences of such an event,
we must scarcely venture to speculate. The imagi
nation of the historian who is upon to write
the history of the events which did not occur, may
fairly recoil from the magnitude of the subject.
The little petty questions, such as those connected
with the Salina months of the Danube, the navi
gation of the Black Sea, the freedom of the Circas
sian mountaineers, the restoration of Finland to
Sweden, <fe?., sink into comp ftr *Bve insignificance
by the side of the chapter which might have been
written on the result on the Czar s yachting expedi
tion off Cronatadt. The wonder of it is that all this
time we are not dealing with a fable, nor with the
rohalt of b drunkurU'» inspiration, but with the
sober and serious fset. The bar or Kass:», the
Archduke ConsUnUue, sad tne Archduchess,
were the other day as near capture and transmis
sion to England as it is possible to be without
bavin* actually incu.red such a catastbrope. Such
i> life'and history-such s’ s
changes and improbabilities ? What an end to
the Russians war : and to think, in all soberness
of thought, that it might really have come to pass,
bad the captain of a little English steamer known
who were in bor.id the Russian steamer tne other
day off Cronstaot.
Human Bodies Found at Sea.— Capt. Klock
gether. ot the ship Hmdor, wiv.ch arrived at this
port a few days since from Bremen, met Hrith
quite an incident in the passage oyer. When
forty days at sea, the weather being ciear, an open
boat was escried in the distance, with, as it wa3
supposed, no one in it. The Captain immediately
boredown upon it, when, on examination, it was
found to contain soar human bodies, or, in ether
words, skeletons, as the flesh had been entirely
stripped from the bones. The boat was filled with
water, but being of a light, airy structure, had
continues to float for days« pernaps months, upon
the turbulent deep. In the boat were a large num
ber of fish, which no doubt preyed upon the bo
dies. A f?w remnants of clothing were found in
the frail hark, b it so much torn as to preclude the
possibility of telling whether they belonged to
>t&men or passengers- There can be no doubt
that the bodies were those of some of the many
unfortunates who were wrecked in seme one of
the missing vessels. Is it not probable that they
were a part ot the crew or passengers of the mis
sing steamer City of Gla-gow ? Capt. Klockgether
Btiil retains the boat. It oan be seen on board his
ship at Chase’s wharf. The remains of the bodies
on the arrival of the ship at this port, were de

The W as—The Invasion op the Crimea —lt has
been already announced that, on Julv 21. the light
division of the British army under*trail. Brown,
and the division of the French army under Gon.
Canrobert, embarked at Varna or at Baltschik, to
invade the Crimea. It is now stated that it nevor
entered into the plan of tno campaign adopted by
Marshal St. Aruaud and Lord Baklan, to occupy
either the valley of the Danube or the Dobrndsohu.
Umfir Pasha had asked, at the first contorence of
the a.lied Generals, for the moral support of :
European detachment n Varna. The Gci.erals
gave him what no asked, and the delay consequent
thereupon gave the Anglo-French force time to
bring iheir heavy guns from home, and also, iu
some degree, to acclimate the men. It was also
desirable that the hottest part of the sousm should
be past before u;i ortaking active operations.
These conditions being now fulfilled, the inva-
R on of the Crimea is understood to be undertaken
in earnest. The precise spot on which the expe
dition wi»l disembark is not known to the public *
the .- pot must, of course, have sufficient depth of
water in shore to allow the approach of the ships,
or at least of the steam frigates so as to cover the
boats ana troops with their guns; it must have
fresh water for the use of the troops; and must
have -natural facilities lor throwing up field works
to protect the first landing from an attack by a
superior force Several such favorable spots are
to be found on the southwest promontory cf the
Crimea. Between iho port of Sevastopol and Cape
Chersonese, within a distance o» about 7 miles,
there are no less than t hree inlets or harbors—the
Biy of Strelotska, the Bay of Pose liana, and the
Bay of Kamoesoh, which are not fortified on the
laud, and are more or lr*s accessible to vessels of
war. To the south of Cape Chersonese the shore
below the monastery of St. George might be eli
gible, and the deep haven of Baluklava* would be
a mo3t important position in possession ol the
allies. Somo one of these ports will, no d*;ub r ,
form tho base ol operations. From such a position,
Sevastopol muy ho atta ked i* the rear.
Until two years ago, Sevastopol was scarcely for
tified at all on tho land side, and was commanded
by hills acij-ucont to the city. Since 1852 a regular
wal l , two miles in length, has boon built from the
citadel to the quarant>no harbor, but it is proba
ble'hat lids wail is still unsupported by tho out
works required to give it strength, and tho heights
outside these lines still give the besieging army a
formidable position of advantage. The liussinn
force in the Crimea is supposed to consist prinei
pally of two divisions or the 6th corps d* am. oo,
under Gon. Tcheodaioff, amounting to übon 70,-
000 men, exclusive of tho marines and dockyard
battullioua within Sevastopol. Groat effort* will
undoubtedly be made to increase this force, but
the allies reckon that in the absconce of communi
cation by si a, the Russians will bo unable to bring
into tho Crimea any considerable force by land. It
is probable the Russian generals in command will
adopt a double system of operations, namely, leave
a garrison wi hiu Sevastopol to defend tho works;
and, with the rest of their available force, take
tho field against tho besiegers. The question then
is whether tho allies can, at one and the same time,
carry on a siege, and maintain themselves against
tho Russia force in tho field. It is not to bo for
gotten that tho southern part of tho Crimea, which
tho allies will h Id, is tno only part that can bo
called salubirous or fertile, consequently tho Rus
siansin the interior or northern part of tho Penin
sula will ha e the more difficulty in providing sup
plies.
An official despatch from Odessa reached Vienna,
late on tho sth, stating that the French and English
fleets wore seen off Sevastopol on the 3 )th July,
tho steamers having transports in tow. This news
was couv yed from Sev:atopol to Odessa in one
day, and was thence immediately telegraphed to
St. Petersburg. It is inferred from the wording
of the despatch that the fleets were proceeding to
the eastward. This intelligence is of later date
than that received from Co wantinople. Steamers
were arriving at Varna to latest date (July 25th)
with munitions and food supplies.
Speaking on this subject the London Daily
Neios while admitting tho probability that tho
force embarked from Baitschik may be destined
for iho Crimea, throws ridicule on the statement
of the London Times, that a landing will bo at
tempted uoar Sevastopol. The Daily News assorts
tha tho proper place to effect a lauding is in tho
spacious bay or Theodosia. Levstopol is 120
miles distant, and there is an excellent road along
the Southern shoro. A whole army might be
landed and entrenched before tho nows could
roach Sevastopol, and but a low days would suffice
to place it in position under tho walls of that
fortress. Perhaps, however, the force now at sea,
is not destined for tho Crimea at ali, but lor
Anapa or some other place in Asia.
The Danube.— On tho Ist of August, the Rus
sians r ctirod from Bucharest after having broken
up tho road betwoen that city and Kabigcrony.
Before leaving Bucharest, Prince GorUchukoff as
sembled tho Boyards and thanked them for tho
manner in which they had treated the Russian
troops during their stay. Tho Gonm-al added,
that strategic reasons alouo induced him to quit
the city, but that it was not improbable ne nrght
return at an early period. Immediately on the
Russians leaving,* Omar Pacha sent a message to
Bucharest, requiring lodging and provisions for
12,000 inon within the city, and foi 20,000 outside
of the walls. On July 29, Said Pacha, advancing
from Oltonitza to Bucharest, overtook tho Russian
rear guard, which ho attacked and drovo iu.
A letter from the camp at Devno, Bulgaria, of
date Juty 21st, has the following; “Col. Bouton,
ofthcrUn’tfld States armv. has returned to Qno
’after a at" on tkc-Cauubo. r.nd he has
made a very erroneous calcnlat on that there will
bo no war, or at least no fighting, this year.
Tho Oest Correspondence says that Baron Os
tonsacken has arrived at Jassy, as Commander-in
Chief of all the Russian forces in Upper Moldavia,
and it is reported that bo is also appoi itod Civil
and Military Govo norof Moldavia.
According to a despatch from Widdin, Omar
Pacha issued orders on July 25th to all Comman
ders of corp 3 to withdraw their troops across tho
Danube when tho Austrians ontor the Principali
ties.
An occurrence is reported which has caused
much astonishment in England. Tho British war
steamer C>clops was chased, when near tho Boa
phorns, by the Russian steam frigate Vladimir,
which every one supposed was safely shut up in
the harbor of Sevastopol! And equally astonish
ing is the fact that the other day a Russian altam
er ran into the harbor of Ilcruclea and burned
three Turkish mercbentmen at anchor therel
One of tho burned ships was laden with corn,
another with wood, and the third with coal from
tho Heracles mines, and destined for the allied
squadron. Their captains were carried off, and
the crows were put into a boat and turned adrift.
Austria. — Rejection or tiie Russian Note.— The
Vienna Conference met on the 4th and sth inst.
The reply of the French Government to tho Aus
trian note arrived at Vicuna on tho evening of the
Bd, when the English and French Mhibtera offi
cially communicated to Count Baol tho .ncondi
tional rejection of the Russian propositions by
France and England.
The Austrian loan is progressing favorably.
Over 58 millions of llcrius have been a-ready ta

At date of latest telegraphic advices from Vicu

Germany. —The Diet, in its sitting of August

Denmark adhered without restriction to tho Aus

All is quiet in Spain. The barricades in Madrid
have nearly disappeared. A royal decree legalizes
the existence of the governing Juntas, and allows
the oontinuanco of the armaments for public safe

“Consultative and Auxiliary Juntas.” Another
decree suspends the execution of those decrees of
the Juntas which suppress or modify taxes and
other sources of national revenue, until the gov

sures upon the subject. A third decree restores
provisionally the law of the press of 1837.

The Powder Explosion at Maysvllle.
Wo condenae lrom th • Mayaville (Ky.) Eeglo of
the 15th in&t., fjie t following particulars of this
frightful occurrence:
wara™S‘, ? morning at 2 o’clock onr citizens
vefe rou- ed from thoir slumbers by tho most tro
mvndous aud awful explosion ever heard in our
£ by - lbo of the Maysville I’owder
oiaguz.ue, containing 1,100 kega (27,600 lbs.) of
aU . ri . P owc * er * ®ud carrying desolation
nua destruction into every quarter of our city of
East Mayaville and of Aberdeen, Ohio.
Tho light produced by the explosion was tho
most brilliant aud the moat intensely vivid imagin
able, startling hundreds of onr ciiizina from a
sound bleep, and awakening them to tho sudden
realization of the awful Judgment Day. There
was scarcely one of the six thousand dwellers in
this immediate valley but was greatly agitated and
alarmed. Many painful scenes were witnessed,
men of nerve losing their presence of mind, wo
men screaming, and children rnnuing about in
terre’*, ignorant of tho cause of theirs‘arm, and
fearful of tho doath of nearly all their house
holds, of neighbors und friends all around and of
the destruction of all their proporty. Desolation
and imminent danger were everywhere and in
every house; and yet, in the special providence of
God, not a life was lost, and but few sustained any
bodily injuries.
Some minutes elapsed before tho citizens would
venture into the streets, so dreadful and universal
was the alarm created by the explosion and its
incidents—tho bursting in of doors, the crashing
of windows and gla.-a, the wreck of walls and
other mat .rials struck by the flying missiles, and
the feeling of suffocation produced by the closeand
sulphurous atmosphere.
As the citizens salied forth they found the side
walks covered with stones and bricks from the
foundations of the magazine, with brioks and frag
ments of wood from the chimneys and walls and
roofs of thoir houses, with broken glass and sash
and doors, and in many places the sills ol the doors
and windows, top 3 of fences, scattered by the ex
plosion, penetrated into rooms, coveriug the bed
ding, mantles, tables, &o.
Ail roulizod at once that there had been a gen
eral and very serious destruction of proporty; but
the great fear animated all was as to the kill
ed aud wounded. As many woro hurrying to the
scene of the explosion they met a crowd carrying
lrom his residouco to the Loo House tbe body of
Win. P. Conwell, E*q., who was blooding profuse
ly, and in tho contusion supposed to be greatly
mangled and almost lifeless. Such a scene, a dis
tance of two squares from tho magazine, appalled
many, who can oven now, thirty hoars after the
terrible calamity, scarcely realize that not a singlo
human being lost his lile, and that with this one
exception no individual wus dangerously hurt, aud
very few woro wounded at all.
Mrs. Dr. Phister and M iss Belle Poyntz, ot a dis
tance of three squares, were struck with rocks,
inflicting ugly cuts. Miss Helen Seaton had hor
right arm cut in several places by a window eash
blown in on her. Mr. Dempsy Carrell was badly
bruised on the elbow and on tho hip by stones
lrom tho Magazine. An old negro woman was
considerably injured by the fulling oi her roof and
tho sido of her house. Another negro woman had
her system so violently shocked by tho explosion
that she died yesterday afternoon. A number of
persons roceivod slight scratches from falling tim-
bers, plastering, &c.
The d 'mage to the property is immense, vari
ously estimated at from $30,C00 to SIOO,OOO. Ev
ery house developes damage of one sort or othor,
walls spuing, roofs giving way, cracks in the
walls, door frames crushed partly in, doors, shut
ters, sash, and glass demolished, walls and roofs
and partitions and flooring pierced as if by can
nonading, furniture of all kinds, chinaware, <fcc.,
broken into fragments or groatly injured.
Seventeen houses wero entirely demolished or
so damaged as to roquire rebuilding, viz: John
Smith’s four story frame dwelling and brick
sausage moat house; Jos. Frank’s dwelling, oc
cupied by Ben. Logan; the lower city sohool
houso, brick; the frame dwellings of John B.
Gibson and J. Biorbowor; the frame African Bap
tist church ; the brick dwellings of Father Spald
ing, James G. Spalding, Dr. Ambrose Seaton,
Tbos. Y. Payno, Alex. Maddox, and Jacob W.
Rand, together with Rand and Rioheson’s Mays
villo seminary building.
Tho Presbyterian, Methodist, Methodist South,
Baptist, Christian, und African Methodist Church
es were damaged from S2OO to SI,OOO each, and
tho Court House probably S4OO.
Theoretical gunners in the navy can calculate
approximately tho force of the explosion w ten they
learn that the foundation of the magazine was ot
tolerably heavy limestone, and the walls of three
bricks in thickness, arched over with brick, and
with a solid iron door. A stone weighing 102 lbs.
was found in Abordeon, entirely across the river,
wad eck«st a mile lrotn the ptaco oi ii» acting.
Another stone, weighing forty-throe pounds,
struck a locust post in Abordeeu and completely
shivered it.
The steamer Huron, the Cincinnati packet, ly
ing at her landing place at the lower giade, was
piorced by a number of stones, of which one pass
ed into tho hull an inch above the edge of the wa
tor, one or more passed through the roof and
cabin floor and then out into tho river, and one
pass' d entirely through the state-room where the
cierk and his wife wore sleeping. The rattling of
tho stones and bricks on the roof and aide of the
boat, on the grade, and all round in tho river, was
quite appalling.
Tho Parker House, on Second street, was struck
by several largo stones and numbers of small onos.
One, weigbiug some fifty pounds, perforated the
wall of the 2nd story, and, rebounding fifteen feet,
was broken into a dozen fragments. It forced a
mass of brick and mortar over the room. Sevoral
of tho boarders narrowly escaped injury.
The residence of Wm. H. Wadsworth, Esq., on
Second street, was struck bv six or eight stones,
several very largo. One of tnem pierced tho shut
ter and window and shatte r ed tho bedstead.
Tho residence of Mrs. Ramsey, in the Brick Row,
was pierced by two stones, weighing about forty
and seventy pounds respectively. Tho smallest}
shivered to pieces the cradle from which she had
removed her babe and broke a part of the bed
stead on which she was sleeping, whilst tho largest
lodged by her side in the bed.
A dozen stones, from two to twenty pounds
each, ponotrated the roof and windows of Mr.
Dempsey Carroll, also in the Brick Row, doing
much damage.
Justin this vicinity and in this direction was
evidently the thickest diaohargo of stones, bricks,
and other missiles. On both sides of Second
street, beginning at Short, and coming up to the
Purker House, every building, with perhaps four
exceptions, is perforated either through tho walls,
roofs, windows, or doors, by stones, which did in
some cases very serious and in others trifling dam
age. Several were perfectly riddled, and hove tho
appearance of being bombarded by cannon.
There are probably fifty houses which have not
a single pane of glass left unbroken, as many more
with not a dozen sound ones, and some twenty
with every sash broken or thrown out on the floor
und wrecked. Many houses suffered very greatly
by the falling in of the doors, windows, plaster
ing, <fcc., doing immense damage to their fine car
pets and f urniture of all kinds. Tho purlines, or
heavy timbers at the ridge of roofs that support
the rafters, were snapped in several instances.
The strong wooden bars that fastened the ware
house doors, in nearly every instance, were snap
ped in one, two, or three pieces. Sixteen hundred
lights of glass were broken in the Maysville Cotton
Mills. Sevoral stones pierced the roof and broke
the fire walls in two or three places. Every hour
developes damageiin some shape or form much
of which can be remedied.
&Tne effect in Aberdeen and East Maysvill was in
proportion to that experienced here.
The report of the explosion w; s heard for many
miles in every direction; at Poplar Plains, twenty
two miles distant, on a steamboat forty-two miles
up tbo river, &c. At Orangeburg, seven miles
off, china-ware was shaken off the table. One mile
teis side of Orangeburg windows wore broken.
Three and a half miles south from this windows
were broken and a b?y thrown out of bed. Near
Helena, twelve milee distant, negroes were thrown
out of bed.
Those at a distance not acquainted with the lo
calities about Maysville w’ll understand the reason
why the destruction here was not much greater
when we tell them that tho magazine that was
blown up, together with three other magazines, is
situated in the narrow hollow orgorge along which
the Maysville and Lexington Turnpike ascends
the hill back and south of the city, it a distance
of not less than a third of a mile from the court
house and heart of the city. More than four thou
sau 1 people wero quietly slumbering, at the cead
hour of two o’clock, within one mile of the power
ful mine, that was suddenly sprung upon them by
the villainy and heartletaness of a few men; and
but for the elevation of the magazine a hundred
fee to er their heads at least a thousand human
brings must have been killed or horribly mangled
and criplod for life.
A New Prspb.—Mr. Stephens Brown, of Syra
cuse has invented a useful andNery i car onions prin
ting preß-»for the printing of fourdifferent colors
simultaneously. We went to his room the other day
and examined o neatly constructed braas model
of this press, which is indeed a perfect beauty to
look at and curiosity to see in operation. The
inking apparatus and the general principles are so
arranged that four colors can be printed at one
impression, at the rate of about five hundred im
pressions in an hour. And not only can differ
ent lines and letters be printed in various hues,
Out so perfect is the invention, that one letter
may be printed in two three or four colors ; or
printed in one color and shaded by another, and
all with the same impression.
Its construction is very simple, there being less
of complication about it than we find in other
large printing preeses nowin use.
Mr. Brown is a practical printer, and has
spent considerable time and labor in the
getting up of this new press. He intends to make
application for a patent immediately. That his
labor and ingenuity will be re war Jed as they de
serve to be we have no doubt. His invention will
“take,” being one much to bo desired by prin
ters. —Syracuse Journal.
A Capital Hit.— The Clarkesvilln (Tonn.)
Chronicle, in a caiital article on the ‘‘Bnncombo
and Humbug” recently played off by Gov. John
son and Judge Pepper, of that State, in their
“Shovel aud Coat” correspondence, thus happily
hits them off :
“The whole tone and tendency of the corres
pondence is mischievous. It is false in itsaseumpl
tions, pernicious in its moral and political teach
ing*, and we fear, hypocritical in its professions.
Doe* any one believe that. Governor Johnson
would cheerfully go back to his trade, if necessa
ry, and work tor a support? The thing is ab
surd, and the secret of eis exultation is, not that
he was once the companion of a goose, but that
ho is a divorced gander; and so long as he can
fill his craw at the public crib, he’d scorn to crop
cabbage with the flock he so long ago abandoned.”

agent of the United States Government at Curacoa,
one of the West India Islands belonging to the
Netherlands, has arrived in Washington. The
Globe learns that Mr. Young has information in
his possession which will conclusively prove that
several of the subordinates in the custom-house of
New York have been bribed to allow goods, with
talse invoices, prepared at Curacoa, to pass the
custom-house, and that many of these invoices put
the goods so low that 20 per cent, is saved to the
importer.

Ttie Drouth aud the l orn Crops.
Since our remarks on this subject some days
ago, wc have recoived farther and roliable infor
mation from a argo portion of Middle Tennessee,
wuich satisfies us that, in this divibion of the Stale,
not moro than half a crop of corn, if that, will be
rait-ad the present season. From two gantlomen
who have recently traversed theoo ntiea on both
of the Cumoerlaud, fora distance of four
hundred miles above this piaoo, we learn, that
while the crops immediately on the river bottoms
are generally pret'y lair, considering the season,
as soon as you leave tho bottoms, yon And very
much tho same state of things that exists with us.
In W’ilson, Sumner, Smith, Overton, Cannon aud
Warren counties tho effects of tho drouth have
been quite as disastrous as iu this county. In
those counties, as well as iu this, neighborhoods
may bo found which have been favored with oc
casional showers aud will produce fair crops, but
as a generul thing, throughout Middle Tennessee,
it will boa liberal estimate, iu our opinion, to
oount upon half of the usual crop of corn. As a
necessary consequonce, there will bo few or no
hogs fatted for exportation. If there can be
enough fatted to supply tho home consumption,
it will be quite as much as can be reasonably ex
pected. \V eat first thought that somothiugmight
be done by driving stock hogs from the counties
and sections hioh have Buffered most to those
which have been more favorod; but we learn that
a gentleman in Wilson county who has about 800
houd, after traversing with that view ihe rich bot
tom lands of the Cauey Fork and even tho 8©
auatchoe Valley, found uo inducement in tho cou
ition of tho oo n crops in those fertile regions to
drive his hogs thero for fattening. We appre
hend that largo numbers ot stock bogs must die
for want of sustenance during the coining winter.
Any number of them that, if fatted, would w*>igh
from 180 to 200 pounds, may be purchased ut $1 U 0
to $1 20 per hundred. Wo have no purchasers
even at those prices. The price of bacon ia of
course advancing.
In this market, meal is worth a dollar a bushel,
nor can corn be bought for leßs than that.
Os fodder there wiU bo ncme worth taking into
aocouut—the blades of corn having fore he most
part dried np on the stalk.
Cattle must suffer greatly through tho approach
ing winter. The number of beovos fatted for home
consumption will necessarily bo much diminished.
Our mule-raisers, we apprehend, notwithstand
ing the abundant crop of oats and a good crop of
bay, will be put to it to got their animals through
tho winter iu good condition.
So much for the prospect now before us in this
section of country. If wo turn our attention to tho
neighboring grain-growing States wo shall find
very much the same state of things that exists
here. The editor of the Louisville Journal has
very recently travoled from St. Louis north to
Chicago, and thence south to Louisville, «*nd par
tioualarly noticed the effect of the drouth on the
growing crop of corn. In Illinois and Missouri,
in the latitude of St. Louis, degrees north),
the corn is so much injured that one-third of tho
usual product per acre is perhaps an over estimate
of this year’s yield. As you approach Chicago,
thore appears to have been more rain, and in that
lalitudo, say 42 degrees north, and north of it, the
corn crop will probably be two-thirds of the usual
product. Coming south, the corn seems to have
suffered more severely as you approach tho Ohio
river at Louisville, where the prospect for corn is
as bad as it can well be short of entire destruction.
The conclusion that the editor has come to, is that
from latitude 85 degrees to 42 degs. north, tho
corn crop now growing will not oxceed, aud pro
bably fall short of half tho usual yield. It wifi bo
obsorved that this belt of country embraces the
chief corn producing States of the West, to wit :
Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Illi
nois, ludiaua and Ohio.
In tho extromo South and North, there Lave
been moro frequent rains, and tho crop of corn in
tho Slates embraced in those regions will probably
bo an average ono.
The Louisville Courior is in receipt of the mnat
distressing accounts from all parts of Kentucky,
with referenco to the terrible drouth that has pre
vailed.
Iu Marion county, hundreds of acres have not a
shoot of corn on them, aud people aro cutting tho
stalk to food their cattle. Stock is worthless and
mule colls cannot bo cashed at |2U. iobaccois
not yet above tho clods, and tho small timber is
dying.
In Bourbon tho corn crop will not be half an
average, and the influence of tho failure-is already
felt in the depreciated value ot all kinds of stcek.
Iu Pulaski county thero will bo very little corn,
and m*al is now selling at f I per bushel at tho
country mills.
In Illinois the prospect is no better. Tho Alton
Telegraph confirms the accounts of the almost to
tal failure of tbe corn crop throughout Middle
end Ceutral Illinois. From present appearances,
many of tho very best growiug districts will not
produco sufficient for immediate neighborhood
consumption.
Tho Chester (111.) Herald gives the following
picture of the state of things there, which would
apply to some sections of country near home.
“ Last Saturday we went up to Sparta and Flat
Prairie, and had an opportunity of seeing the corn
in that quarter. Nothing could be moro pitable
than the aspect the fields presented. Field after
field and farm afior farm, showed the ruins of the
crop upon which the farmer had expended no
email amount of lrbor, scorched and shrivelled
stalks, and tassels dried up prematurely, and be
foro they had loft the promise of a harvest field,
told the dismal story; and although wo travelled
some twenty miles, and returned the samo dis
tance by a different route, and through tho most
fertile aud best cultivated land in Southern Illi
nois, we saw no hope for a crop or even part of
one.”
From Missouri similar accounts reach us. A
letter from Covington says that tho most favorable
looking corn will not yield ono-third of a crc- ,
HOC* I»«|.J- RoiGa 1 •♦-kildt»i
--bushel for their entire crop.
Largo numbers of hogs says the St. Louis Intel
ligencer, are now being brought to this market
for sale. The number alroady exceeds the de
mand, and prices have declined to $4 but they
still come to avoid starving on their owner’s hands
at home, for there will be no corn in many parts
to feed them on next winter, all that are therefore
suitable aro being sent to market to avoid one of
two necessities—either to buy corn or sell thohogß.
In conclusion, wo give the following well con
sidered remarks from the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent, on tbe faots of tho case, bo far as the writer
has been able to arrive at them, and the economi
cal considerations which thoy naturally suggest:
From the Cincinnati Price Current.
Corn Crop—lta Diminution, and Probable Effects.
It is now tho 10th of August, and three-fourths
of the cornfields in the country are drooping un
der the effects of contined drought; tho tops in
many ca«es dried up, and the ear not properly
filled. There is, in fact, for tne first time in many
years, a prospect of a large diminution of tho corn
crop. Many persons think not half a crop will be
raised; others that thore will boa loss of oue
fourth ; in any event, after making allowance for
forthcoming rain, and a late soason, there must be
a short crop of corn. What wi’l be the effcot of
this on the general commerce in grain, and animal
food ? We know both tho production, and export
of tho United States ; and from these may draw
some conclusion, as to the probable effect of a
given diminution of tho crop. Lot us examine the
question, as to tho five grout corn States of the
Ohio Valley. We will suppose tho loss is only 20
per cent, of an average crop, which is below tho
estimate of most farmers. The crop of 1849, was
just about an average crop; and that we hove in
the Census of 1860. Thus r
Ohio 69,078,695 bushels.
Indiana 52,961,868 “
Illinois 57,646,984 “
Kentucky 58.672,591 “
Tennessee 62,276,228 “
Aggregate 280,680,866
Now, 20 per rout, on this amount, is
millions of bushels i which is to be deducted from
the average amount fed to animals, or made iuto
Whisky. Now this fifty-six millions of bushels, is
to bo taken off from one or all, of tho following
modes of consumption, viz: from tho export of
corn and meal, or the amount fed to cattle or hogs,
or made into Whisky.
The average export-* of Indian corn and meal,
do not exceed 15,000,000 Dusbels; and seldom,
indeed, make that. If we suppose the whole oi
this cut off bv a Bhort crop, we still have forty one
millions , to be taken from other sources of con
sumption. Now, if we suppose this to be equally
divided between the fatting of cattle, and nogs,
and the making of Whisky, we have this lulling
off, estimating at the ordinary rates of consump
tion of corn, in these processes:
Cattle 800,000
H0g5..... 700,000
Whisky 500,000 bbls.
At first sight, this is an enormous amount to be
subducted from these articles of commerce. But
a little exam nation will ahow that such results
must follow from a serious falling off in the corn
crop. It will be observed, that tho gioat, mass of
corn is fed in wiutcr to stock, not for fatting, but
to preservo them. There are horses, mules, cattle,
hogs, to the amount of many millions, to be sus
tained. When, therefore, a heavy deduction is
made from tho corn crop, it falls almost entirely
on the amount to be sent to market, in one form
or another. It is the surplus only, after supply
ing all domestic wants, which goes into the manu
facture of liquor, or tho fatting of animals, or for
eign exports. When a crop partially fails, there
fore, the deduction falls first on those marketable
articles. But the distribution of the reduction
will probably be a little different from that above.
The manufacture ff whiskey ceases; and the
largest part of the reduction will be found in cat
tle and hogs. If the failure of the corn crop bo as
largo as we suppose, there will be a reduction of
1,000,000 in the number of fatted hogs in the
United States: and of catttle in proportion. The
number of hogs fatted in tho West, according to
the Price Current , (allowing for sma'l quantities
not returned,) is nearly, Oi quite 2,500,000. In
the United States at large, tho number must ex
ceed 3,000,000.
A reduction of 1,000,000 is therefore equivalent
to a reduction of one-third in the total number of
tatted hogs; and there will be a proportional re
duclion in fatto < cattle.
One effect of this wi.l be, that there will be little
or no export. There cannot be an export without
at once raising the price beyond what meat can
be exported at. Whether prices at home will be
much higher, depends upon various circurastun
stances. At present, the price of stock lings is
low. There is, therefore, a margin for a higher
price of corn, without raieing the price of fat
nogs. Money is also scarce ; so that the scarcity
of corn will bo counteracted as to the price of
hogs, by two other material circninstances.
Os one thing, however, there is a certainty; that
the reduction in the quantity of corn will re
duce, in the ensuing year, very materially, th’c
quantity of pickled meat in the country. When
corn and money are both abundant,, the nnmber
of fatted annimals brought to market may be in
creased almost indefin'tely. But when corn and
money are both scarce, the reverse is the case;
and tatted animals arc scarce also.
Let us see how many hogs there are in the Val
ley of the Ohio, and how many might be fatted.—
The number has rapidly increased since 1850; but
let us take the number for that year:
In Tennessee 8,104,800
In Kentucky 2.891,168
In Indiana 2 268,776
In Ohio 1,964,770
In Illinois l 915.907
Aggregate 12,140,416

IfLu- n f all me corn, is required for domestic stock,
for Whiskey and for fattening cattle.
Finally, the amount of cattle and hogs brought
to market, depends so much on the corn crop, that
the diminution of that crop by a partial failure, is
likely to produce very important Teeulta on the
trade in domestic produce.
We much fear the failure will be greater than
we have stated it; aod that serious results will oc

“ Giving Eyes to idk Soup.”—ln July, n trial
before the Correctional Police of Pans, revealed
tho following interesting facts to those who dino
upon tli oo dishes lor five sous. The cu-o was lo
tween tho Cook and Customer, the former adver
tising the following “ Bill of Faro:”
Plate of Meat 8 sous I Vegetables 2 sous
Half a Plate 2 “ | Soup 1 “
This whh read to tho Court, and the plaintiff was
instructed to tell hi* story.
Plaintiff—l hadn’t done nothing to him, when
ho came whero 1 was and battered mo on the herd,
and then outho antipodes, with n whan ! u whack!
and a bang 1 so that I saw stars before and be
hind.
President—Whero did this tulco place?
Plaintiff—ln tho kitchen, whore i work.
Defendant—Will your honor ask him what ho
was doing, and whether any one would not have
served him as I did ?
Plaintiff—l was giving eyes to tho soup.
Delendant—Ah I that’s what I wanted him to
acknowledge. lie was giving eyes to tho soup.
Now let mo hist cxplaierate tho clean way h was
doing it. No ojpe can say tho cooking of Marm
Baptiseis good, on tho contrary it’s indecently hud,
’specially the soup, which is made out of bones
thut have been twice stewed already, and of old
dominos and such I ko succulent materials, and of
course there never is any shadow of an eye upon
itj bo tho cook makes oyes for it. And 1 caught
him doing it, having stepped into the ki;ebon to
see why the soup did not come. Ho whs ju -t then
making tho eyes. Ho put n little oil in his mouth,
hold hia head over the pot, and then snapped his
cheoks, which rnr.de the ' il spirt out in dro s all
over the soup, and that makes the eyes. Don’t
you think when I saw thut, that 1 hadu good right
to come down upon him i I kicked him behind,
and spatted his two cheeks with my two hands,
which brought the rebt of tho eyes out of his
mouth.
Cook—Well, do you suppose that for one sou
people are going to give you soup with natural
eyes! Think you l
The doieudant was sentenced to a fine of 16
francs, as no provocation is considered sufficient
to excuse the first blow. But ho was not sentenced
to damages, at which the cook was very much in
censed, as ho has now revealed tho secret ot his
establishment, without earning anything hotter
than a wide spread notoriety.
Tax Usury Laws.—A moveinout is on foot in
England, with a good prospect of success, lor the
entire repeal of tne usury law l . /» great mins of
evidence lias been adduced to show that they
operate to increase tho very evils that they aro
intended to prevent, and to oppress the vt-ry
classes they are intended to relieve. A bill for
the total repeal of ’lie usury laws has passed to a
second reading in the House of Lordn, the Mar
quis of Landsdowno, Lord Campbell, Lord Broug
ham and tho Lord Chancellors all speaking in
favor of it. Grout modifications in tho usury laws
has boon made in England, and indeed in u.'l en
lightened cjan rin n. Thoy are the remnants of
that legislation which first forbade all interest or
pay for the use of money.
it is quite plain that the laws regulating the rate
of interest produce no restraint upon trausac.ious
between individuals,and they are to a considerable
extent evaded by corporations, while they un
doubtedly prevent foreign capi ul from flawing in
as freely as i: otherwise would, when the ra f cs are
high, and the competition greater between tho
borrowers than the lenders. As many circum
stances enter into tho market value of money us of
most other commodities, and it would be as un
reasonable to enact that sour flour shouJd ne sold
at the same price us sweet, as that ihe interest of
money loaned on undoubted landed security t>f ould
bo tho same as when loaned upon no other than
personal security, and depending upon the life
and success of the borrower. The laws which
make it illegal for a man to pay eight per cent.,
often drive him to pay twelve, for the lender who
lends witnout the security of law, charges some
thing for the additional rn-k.
It is the opinion ol many commercial men, and
wo think it is tho growing opinion, that tho usury
lavss should be repealed and money ktt likoany
other article to find its level in tho relations of
supply and demand. Tho argument against t is
is, that money is invested by law with a qudity
that it does not possess inherently, and that no
other commodity posp^sses; ami that, therefore,
it ought not to bo subject in ail respects to ihe
same laws. There is force in this; but ii tho bor
rowers must borrow money, it is equally true that
the lenders must lend it. They CMiiuot ea it nor
wear it. Should it be thought too bold an experi
ment to repeal tho usury Jaws altogether, they
n ight bo safely repealed for ail individual trans
actions, and the raie extonded tor corporations to
that which, iu one way or auothor, the borrowers
are compelled to pay, and often at an inconvenience,
as serious as the increased rale. Should this work
weil, the restriction might bo taken off altogether.
Should it not, weenould have the reme ly ingoiug
back to the old law .—Pror.id'H e .!.uniat.
This CjtufKa.—The 80. ion Journ.d gives a sketch
of the Crime a, which it will he recollected, is spo
k j> of in some of the English papers as cue of
the “material guarantees” which the allies should
exuH from Russia as security for her future good
behavior. The Crimea, or Crim-Tartary, as it is
sometimes called, was separated from Turkey at
the 'conclusion of the wur with Kasaia iu 1*774.
Turkey in the treaty of that year, acknowledged
ihe independence of the Crimea, aud conceded to
Russia the navigation ot the Black bea and Medi
terranean. In 1788, the Crimea was annexed to
Russia. “It is a peninsula, extending out into
the Black bea from Southern Russia, with which
it is connected by a narrow isthmus.” The popu
lation is about 2u0,000. The country is one of
the most beautiful and productive on the fi.ee of
the globe, but it has been devastated by too wars
of more than seventy different nations. No prov
ince in E irope has been so often the e-oouo ot vio
lence and bloodshed. It would bj necessary to
take Sevastopol oefore tho Crimea could be wrested
from Russia. If the Austrians occupy the Princi
palities the allied contingents, Bh,quo men, will
undoubtedly proceed at once to the investment of
Sevastopol while the allied fhet blockade it by
sea. It is said that there would be no d fhculiy in
landing any number of men to tho s< u n or the
town, where there are six convenient bays, un
protected. The roads, however, aoro-s tho Cri
mea, are elmost impassible in spring, fall and win
ter, and if the allies mean to take it this your, they
