The ducul band hail been playing ail the evening in the court of ti»«- palace, lighted up brilliantly for the occasion. ‘ There was a sound of revelry by night’*— of terror and weeping st daybreak. If was sad for the prince I' . *il. r~ —sadder yet for the poor of Florence,who iherrafid there lost a royal friend. The Oobbioa, a truly devout Catholic, being un married. cared “lor the things of the Lord;” her in | < omo had foi many years been mostly spent in chanties. JShe a very Dorcas of a princess; her** wi*q ont “ pure and undefyfed religion which visits the fatherless and the widows iiv-tlc-ir efflic •loll, and kt.ii<S itself uuspottt-d from the world.”— Many another princess observes the firs! part ol this Sc*iptuie, while regardless of the latter. She ob served both*, and was more beloved by her brotb t’ri subjects than himself or any other member of tip■/o>nl liouaehoid. Unostentatious in life, she lad rs quested that l»ci death and t.u ial might be without parade ; but, thougli si,o was a princess, hho could not be obe / ed, unless her will accorded with p>irately rules. Humble little hunch back ! even she was not sul fered to go uumolested to her resting place in the gorgeous chapel of the Medici. Duly embalmed, painted and decked in royal robes, she lay in state i'»r u week, while thous nds pi tossed ilai.y to pay tlieir respects to faerremaius; nor were they mostly drawn—an is usual in such case.* —by the fascination of ghastliness, or by vain curiosity to see the pa geant Sincere mourners this time came to the roy al ohamnerof Death—genuine tears dropped on itH marble pavement. Then eamu the burial; nil Florence was at the w indows, or lining the streets, which were hung in black At the solemn twilight hour the long procee .-uni began to move slowly from the palace to the funeral march of the bands. First came the mili tary lim*. with reversed bayonets and mufti d drums. Then the Mtsericorde , or Druthers of Mercy, in white masks and domino (in place of their wont ed black) —a spectral company ! These woe fol low ed by priestly ranks, crape hanging from their ecclesiastical robes, each one carrying an immense lighted candle, andjjijfeininting in concord a requiem for the illustrious ifcan. Cluau-behind them moved with awful stateliness the ftip.tj.tl car, an open chariot lined with black velvet, und having a large r anopy overhead, oil which a forest of bluek plumes nooded solemnly to the measured rfcp of six black horses, decorated also with niel&ucftpy plumes. In this imposing vehicle lay, with elevated head, or on cushions formed an inclined plane, She lifeless vic tim, crowned with white flowers, and arrayed in white si.k with tuile overdress, her little waxen fin gers cla:ij»iug n boquet of pale roses, and her tiny feet in silk stockings and while satin slippers, dis posed for singular effect. As the regal hearse moved in time with that funeral chafint, the glass eyes of the empse, rolled upward, seemed to t wnnkle in the torchlight,startling many a gazer whose own ey*s closed instinctively to shut appalling vision, and turning tlm solemnity info horror Dehind the biuck chariot, followed tlm iwnpty car riages of tlie princess, her footmen walking beside t hem os mourners, with uncovered heads. This was touching 1 Then followed, in long cavalcade, the <fuurdte 9 y At/c, bringing up the rear of the pro cession, and the crowd pressed on their horses heels, ns if all claimed to be mourners, but none of the ducal family followed their dead to her palace tomb. Order and death-like stillness pervaded the multitude, and though the scene was in some sense revolting, in another it was Impressive, and truly suggestive of public loss and general mourning. Os conrse tbwtUilooked for blow sent consterna tion anu ng the guests at the place, and the king and queen of Saxony, with their suito, took leave before the funeral c< remonies. Ou the day but one after the burial the masses for the d ad commenced in the church ot Sum HYli i, which was hung in black and decorated with white flowers ior the august oc casion. The roy*l family attended in solemn state, and the nmsio whs um arthly sweet, like the far off chauiit of a spirit choir. of an Arctic Night.— The fol lowing eloquent description of the silence ol an arc tic night occurs in Dr. Hays’ lecture on the Arctic Regions: “ The m* oulights of this period (winter) are the most grand and impressive of anything I have ever witnessed. The clearness of the air, the white sur face of the snow and ice give an effect monotonous and cheerless, but truly grand. But there is a new t element which makes this paid winter moonlight seem almost terrible in its impressiveness;—it is it. “ l have often, to escape from the trying monoto ny ot ship board life, gone off six or eight miles in to the interior in seatch of novelty and iu order that I might be alone. There, seated upou a rock or snow bank, iloek around me, and see a great uneven country r rocky hills aud glaciers covered with snow ; myriads of crystal gems sparkling in the llgh^of the pale moon, which shoots its rays down through the crisp air, making it almost as light fts day l look seaward, and see n long plain of ice melting into the horizon, dotted all over with huge, towering bergs.—nothi 'g more. * 44 All nature is in the repose of death. lam too tar from shore to hear the crunching of the tables as they rise and fall lazily with the tide, or the roar •ike distant thunder, as some huge crack opens through the heavy floes. There is no auimal to cross my path, no tree among whose stiff branches the wind can sigh and moan. There is no song of bird to enliven the scene,—no wild beast to howl.— I stand here alone, the only rspresc illative of God’s living world—the nly being that has life or can move. Every sound that I near, every motion that I see, is made by myself; I hear nothing but the pulsations of my own heart, ipy own footsteps, or now and then, possibly, in the distance, the deep rumbllog of a tailing snow-bank. “'Aie scusaVlon of utter loneliness and isolat ion creeps ov« rme My heart beats, as it rashes the Wood through the sensitive organization of the ear. Imu oppressed as with discordant sounds. Siienee has ceased to be negative—it has become Sternly p.y- : ftve. I hear, see and feel it Its presence D qpenduruble. I spring to my feet—l plant them heavily in tha snow, to drown its presence, and I rush back to the vessel, and glad even to find re fuge in its dull, dull life ot horrid inactivity.’’ Orkilu: —A Svmitute for Gold.—This is the nainaota ne w met a* which has recently made its ■feppeavinccpnder a French patent, granted in this o>iuritry in March last It resembles gold in many respects, and may I»>* used in a pure condition, or as a base for gold-plating. I*B cost is about eighty cents per pound, pud yet itsappearance is such that it would readily be taken for gold by the most casual tl s* ;vt r’. Ii is ml a pure metal, but a ooinp uud ! of several mfetala, rcflqed to suoh a degree that it t does no. easily oxydize or tarnish. These qualities • make it a valuable acquisition to the met&lic aits When tested with nitric acid,ebullition take- place, j but ixippnt remains*. This quality* though valuable j 'or utensils, m&kt s if a dangerous metal for dishon* I est men It can be used in counterfeiting gold so | lVkdily that it will befexoeedingly difficult to detect ! the true coin When placed side by side with.gold I it requiries close semtinv to decide which is gold and w Ircli orcide. In Fianfce a law has already been passed to prevent frauds, by compelling, uu dei st-vt re penalties for neglect, all manufacturers | of creido to stamp the word upon the articles pro : duued. • A manufactory has recently been started iu \Ya , terbury, Ct . capsblecf turning out auy quautity of 1 the n w metal It is said that a great deal of the ; late imp* rled gold-chased wrne is nothing but ! oreide! It has already made its appearance in oounteifeit coin out West. ! ’ A metal having w many of the characteristics of gold will soon tied ifa way to the hands of d’shonest men. The public need to be ou their guard iu the purchase of gold chased ware aud gold dust. It js an e-sy matter to transport a metal to California which costs but eighty cents per pound; and it would be quite as easy for a dishonest man to mix | the cft>ap material with the costly. It is likely.however, that science, while furnish ing a combination of metalsso useful, will also fur nish a dttector against its use as a counterfeit— Nature is always true to itself, aud-the ability to t create so valuable and yet (when used dishonestly so dawger'us an article, argues the ability to pro duce that which shail be a safeguard to the public st* *he dishonest purpot-e. Meanwhile, it is quite likely that tili the qualities of the metal are better ku« wn, the public, will be most wo fully cheat ed.— Bo*to n Tra rel/er. Oriotn of rm French Tricolor.—At theoom menoement*of ttie eighteenth century, nearly one huu red vears* be fore the Revolutio i, the Freiuk sidmern nore top a time the three colors; this was att 1 epe rod , f the triple alliance between .be Kings < f 1 sauce and Spain and the Elector of Bava rm >v hen the three were being combined, ii ey agret--d to give the soldiers a cockade,iu which, a-* rm emblem ofihe rimon of the three people, they Tcproduoed the color of each. Thus the white of r Y ] a ' i r the redot Spain,foimditselffetally blend ed wH-h the blue, the national color of Bavaria. We would n -t. however, wish to attribute to th&e facts* more casual than premeditated, the origin of the •andard and tricolor cockade adopted during the Revolution. Iu ITBB, green papulaiized Ca mille Desmoulins at the Palais Royal, was about to become the national emblem: bdt, on recollecting that it was the color of the lively of the Count D - Artois.the unpopular of princes, thyy sought another cockhde It was then that they eudeavored to appreciate the colors of tlm city of Paris the red and blue, already' celebrated in more than one popular rmntte y ’though both were borrowed from , tl.e heraldry of the ancient kings, aud were tbe ■“une t‘ at Etienne Marcel had hoisted in 1848.

E-q.. of Florida The principal object proposed by Mr. Dennis is to show the cause of the failure of the salt generally used in preserv ing meat to perform that office,' and to point out the method of remedying the evil. one who has the slightest acquaintance with the immense loss occasioned every year in this country by the spoil ing of butter, fish and cured meat, particular! ba eon, will be disposed to uodevaftte any effort] to analyze the reason of the fact and designate the method of prevention.

Frencsil, The Historian. j Tbe July number of the Massachusetts Teacher e < rntains a very interesting article from the pen ot j Rev. Geo. E Ellis upon Mr. Prescott and his histo ries. In this article Mr Ellis introduces a friendly I and communicative letter from Mr Prescott, ex y plaining the origin and extent of the difficulties un b j xkr which it is well known he has labored, in the composition of his histories. It is, says the Boston ,J nrnal. a pleasantly related tale of faithful pursuit f of knowledge under difficulties. ‘ I suppose you are aware that, when in college, J received an injuTy in one eye which deprived me • <>f tbe use of it tor reading and writing. Ati injc 1 dteistas u«e of the other eye, on which the burden of ; my studies was now wholiv thrown, biougnt on a ; rheumatic inflammation which deprived me entirely ot the use of my sight for some weeks. When thi*- i was restored the eye remained in too irritable a state to be employed iu reading for several years. I i consequently abandoned the study of the law upon i which I bad entered ; and, as a man must tind some i thing to do. I determined to devote myself to let Lers, in which independent career I could regulate tny own hours with reference to what my sight might ! enable me to accomplish. "I bad early conceived a strong passion for his torical writing, to which, perhaps, tbe reading ol Gibbon’s autobiography contributed not a little. ] proposed to make myself a historian in the best E-eu.-e of the term, and hoped to produce something w hich posterity would not willingly let die. In a memoranda"* book, as far back as the year 1819,1 and the desire intimated ; aud I proposed to devote ton years of my life to the study of ancient and modern literatures —chiefly the latter—and to give ten inure to some historical work. I have had the good fortune to accomplish this design pretty nearly w i*hin the limits assigned. In the Christmas ot 1*37 my first work, the History of Ferdinand and Isabella, was given to the public. “ Daring my preliminary studies in the field of general literature* my eyes gradually acquired so much strength that 1 was enabled to use them many hours of the day. The result of my studu* hi this lime I was iu the habit of giving in the form of essays in publio journals, chiefly in the North American, from which a number quite large enough have be u tranetarred to a separate volume of mis 'cellaniert. I laving settled on a subject for a partic ular history, i lost no time in collecting tbe materi als, for which I had peculiar advantages. Dut,ju.A before these materials arrived, inv eye had expe rienced so severe a rtraiu that I enjoyed no use of it again for reading for several years. It has in deed never wince fully recovered its strength, nor have I ever ventured to use it again by candlelight. I well remember t e blank despair which 1 felt when my lilerary treasurer arrived from Spain, and I saw the mine of wealth lying around me which I was forbidden to explore. 1 determined to see what could be done with the eyes of another. I re meinbered that Johnson had said in reference to Milton, that the great poet had abandoned his pro jected history of England, finding it scarcely possi ble for a mao without eyes to pursue a historical v.crk requiring reference to various authorities. Tue remark piqued me to iflake an attempt. “ I obtained tne services of a reader who knew no language but his own. 1 taught him to pro nounce the Castilian i a manner suited, I suspect, much more to my ear than that of a Spaniard ; and we began our wearisome journey through Marian na’s noble history. I cannot, even now, call to mind without h smile, the tedious hours iu which seated under some old trees in my country residence, we pursued our slow aud melancholy w*ay, over pages which afforded no glimmering of light to him, and from which the light came dimly struggling to me through a half intelligible vocabulary. But, in a few weeks ihe light became stronger, and I was cheered by the consciousness of my ow.i improve ment; and when W'e had toiled our way through ssven quartos, I found I**-»uld understand the book when read about two-thirds as fast as ordinary English. My reader’s office required the more patience ; he had not even this result to cheer him iu his labor. *‘l now felt that the great difficulty could be over come ; aud I obtained the services of a reader whose acquaintance with the modern and ancient tongues supplied, as far as it could be supplied, the deficien cy of eyesight on my part. Bat though iu this way I could examine various authorities, it was not easy to arrange in my mind the result ol ray reading, drawn from different and often contradictory ac counts. To do this 1 dictated copious notes as I went uloug. and when 1 had read enough for a chapter—from thirty to forty and sometimes fifty pages in lenght—l had a mass of memoranda iu my own language, which would easily bring before me at one view the IruitH of my researches. These notes were carefully read to me; and while my recent studies were fresh in my recollection I ran over the whole of iny intended chapter in my mind. This process I repeated at least half a dozeu times, ro that when I finally put my pen to paper it ran off’ pretty glibly, for it was an effort of memory rather than creation. This method had the advantage of saving me from the perplexity of frequently referr ing to the scattered passages in the originals, and it enabled me to make the corrections in my own mind which are usually made iu the manuscript, and which, with my mode of writing—as I shall explain —would have much embarrassed me. Yet I must adini that this method of composition, when the chapter was very long, was somewhat too heavy a strain on the memory to be altogether recommend ed. “Writing presented me a difficulty even greater than reading. Thierry, the famous blind historian of the Norman Conquest, advised me to cultivate dictation ; but I have usually preferred a substitute that I lound iu a writing-case made for the blind, which I procured in London forty years since. It is a simple apparatus, often described by me for the benefit of persons whose vision is imperfect. It consists of a frame of the size of a sheet of paper, t raversed by brassed wires, as many as lines .are wanted on the paL f e, and with a sheet of carbona ted paper, such as is used for getting duplicates, pasted on the reverse side. With an ivory or agate stylus the writer traces his characters between the wires on the carbonated sheet, making indelible marks, which he cannot see, on the white page be low. This t readmill operation has its defects, and I ha\ • repeatedly supposed I had accomplished a good page, and was proceeding in all the glow of compo sition to go ahead, when 1 found 1 had forgotten to insert a sheet of my writing paper below, that my labor had all been thrown away, and that the leaf looked as blank as myself Notwithstanding these and other whimsical distresses of the kind, I have found my writieg-case my bes friend iu my lonely hours, and with it have written nearly all that I have sent into the world the last forty years. “ The manuscript thus written and deciphered— for it was in the nature of hieroglyphics—by my secretary was then read to me for correction, and copied off in a fair hand for the printer. All this, it may be thought, was rather a slow process, requir ing the virtue of patience in all the parties con cerned. But in time my eyes improved again.— Before I had finished 4 Ferdinand and Isabella’ I could use them some hours every day. And thus they have continued till within a few years, though subject to occasional iu corruptions, some times of months, when I could not look at a book. — And this circumstance, as well as habit—second na ture—has led me to adhere still to my earlv method of composition. Os late years I have suffered not so much from inability of the eye as dimness of the vision, and the warning comes that the time is not far distant when 1 must rely exclusively on the eyes of another for the prosecution of my studies. Perhaps it should bo received ns a warmng that it is time to close them a’togethcr.” Chinese Mode of Fishing. —On our way down the river at night, we came upou some people fishing in a manner so curions that I must endeavor to describe it. The boats used tor this purpose were long and narrow. Each had a broad strip of white canvass stretched .along the right sid *, and dippiug towards the water at an angle of from thirty to forty degrees. Ou the other side of the boat a net, corresponding in size with the white cloth, w’as stretched along above the bulwarks. A man sat in the Stern of each boat, and brought bis weight to bear ou the starboard side, which had the effect of pressing the white canvass into the water, and raising the net on’ the opposite side. A small pad dle-wih used for propelling the boat through the wa ter. As we approached these strange fishermen I desirca my boatmen to take in our sail, ami, as my boat lay s’ill on the smooth surface of the water, I watched their proceedings with much iuterest. It was a fine clear night, and I could see distinctly the white canvass shining through the water, although several inches below its surface. The fishermen sat motionless and silent, and scarcely noticed us when we joined them, so intent ly were they upon their work. We had not re mained above a minute in the position we had ta ken up. when I heard a splash in the water, and dis tinctly saw a fish jump over the bout,and getcaught by the net on its opposite side, llie object in con structing the boats hi the manner I have described, whs now apparent. It seemed that the white can vas. which aipped like a painted board in the water, had the effect of attracting and decoying the fish in some peculiar manner,"and caused them to lvap over it. But, as the boats were low and narrow', it was necessary tq ’iave a net stretched on the opposite side to prevent the fish from leaping over them al together, and escaping again in the stream. Each fish, as it took the ratal leap , generally struck against the net and fell backward into the boat. —A Jiesi dence among the Vh.in.esc. Benedict Arnold’s Silver Watch —Bene dict Arnold’s name will go down to posterity con pled with curses, but for all that, he was as brave a soldier as ever wore a sword. He had as much military genius ns any officer in our Revolution He letfthe “d company of Governor's Foot Guards to Banker Hill; he leu the expedition up the Ken nebec. through the trackless wilderness, co operating with Montgomery in his attack on fought like a madman, but an inspired madman, with method in his madness, at the battle of Sarato ga. lie was the idol of the army, till he fell, like Lucifer, the son of the morning, with something of the ruiued archangel still in his demeanor, and with something of Milton's Satan still to be traced in his career. The fate of A mold has been brought to mind by a silvei watch, a regular old-fashioned • bulls eye, ? which now lies upon our table, and was the companion of Arnold in his military career. It is presented to the Connecticut Historical Socie ty by the Rev. L Smith Hobart, of Hudson. Michi gan .’and from the manner in which it came into Mr. Hobart's bands, we have no doubt of the accu racy of the accompanying statement. He says: “This watch was the property of Benedict Ar nold. It was presented by him to Jeremiah At wa ter. who in the Revolutionary war. was killed at Danbury, Connecticut. Tbe* watch then became tbe property of his wife, Eunice. She afterwards married John Goodrich, of Hew Haven, and was thp mother of Andrew T. Goodrich, who was a bookseller and publisher in New York city. This watch came into the possession of A. T. Goodrich from his parents, and was left by him at Ids death, with his son in-law, the Rev. L. Smith Hebarb ot Michigan, by whom it is presented to the Con uecticut Historical Society ."—Hartford Courant . Aug. 1.

Tbe circumstance* aie in every wav' favorable f>r the appearance ofJudge Brown *to tbq verv b<->t advantage. The evening was, for a wot der of ia 4 e clear and pleasant; the Louse wa- crowded to over tl 'Wing with an audience unusually inteh^ent; and ihe sympathies ot his Democratic friends were ai together in his favor. Expectation we c-oafes* was somewhat raised by the accounts of his encoun ters with Hill published in the Democratic paper ofthe interior, a % fact. which, perhaps, mace his au dience more critical than they would heve been had he come amougrt us unheralded. Solomon Cohn, E-q., pressed at themeet’ng and announced its obj-cts in a abort address. It wa«, be said, to honor the gentleman who was des 'ined'-tobe the next Governor of Georgia who ‘ Through your agency,’ he remarked, addressing himself to his audience, “has been called from the elusion of his mountain home to bear aloft the standard of the Democracy in the coming contest. ’ This was doubtless news to the Democracy tffiChat ham, for it is very cer’am no one individual amouget r hem ever dreamed of Judge BroWn for Governor Their agency in the matter of his nomination was doubtless a puzzle. He also spoke of the “suicidal course of the Know Nothings, in opoos ng tfie elec tion of such a man—a man in whom was blended everything that patriotism could isk, or a citizen of Georgia demand. Mr. Cohen was followed by Julian Hartridge, Esq., who, in a set speech of some fifteen minutes, introduced the gubernatorial candidate to the meet ing. Judge Brown spoke for an hour and twenty min utes, aud confined his remarks exclusively to fede ral affairs. He is a plain common sensed man, ot ordinary ab.lit.es, wholly without pretension to ora t'*ry, ard with but timited information on the p»- itical affairs of the country. We may say general ly of his speech last night that if its man er and mat ter afford a specimen of Lis barrangues before the people, the idea of his achieving a triumph over iliir, in any contest, is f imply ridiculous. \Ve doubt if there was a Democrat in the house last night, who' came away with the honest belief that he is, in any respect, a match tor his gallant competitor. » We took full notes of the speech, but on rcyi w •ng them we can see’nothing that is important i» be commented on or answered. It was, iu great measure, a mere reproduction of arguments aud po sitions that have been successfully overt hro wn and demolished by the American press for mouths past The whole speech would be mere chaff, in the hands of hi•< competitor, to be scattered to the winds His party, he maintained despised a name, when principles were to be sacrificed to maintain tha name—they despised ah atiunce with the North, when it must be upheld by a sacrifice of the South, and tins iu the face of the sac that the Democratic oarty is now maintainiug a mere name at the sacri fice of principles, and are keeping up an alliance wirh the northern Demacrocy every one of whom is in favor of free Kansas and is now supporting he President aud Walker in their efforts to make it free.

We have not time lo allude to iiis remarks on this point, and shall reserve them for another day. M u Seward. —When Judge Brown took- Lis seat, the Hon. James L. Seward, who was present and on the stand, came forward in response to loud and frequent calls from the audience. We heard but a portion of his remarks, which seemed to keep the house in a roar. He congratulated the Democracy upon their harmony on the subject of a Governor, and regretted exceedingly that he could not say the same of them in regard to the member to Congress from the First District. This excited considerable merriment. He had ta ken his staud as an independent Democratic*, can didate, and intended to maintain it to the close of the race. Some men about Savannah were very modest oil the subject of office, but he was not troubled with that species of failing—he wanted the office, and was not ashamed to own it, and would take all the votes he could get. He “pitched into’’ the Hoimesville Convention and the “Lion of Lib erty,” without stint or mercy. Said he drew the resolutions complimentary to Gaulden in 1853, but did not offer them, not being a member of the Con vention-acknowledged that he ‘ had spread the butter pretty thick on the bread,” but, denied that he “had offered it to Col. Gaulden to eat.’’ As to ihe contract to decline iu favor of Col. G., in the next race, he said be only promised Col. G., to vote for him or any other Democrat the next Convention nrght nominate, but never dreamed that the Dem ocrats would befools enough to nominate him (Col. G.) He said the time never had been and never would be when the people of the Firot District would endorse Col. Gaulden at the ballot box. Col. Sew ard entered upon federal politics, and at this stage of his discourse ; we left the hall. Privateering. —The New York Journal of Com merce, alluding to the question of the abolition of privateering, says : “The hesitation of Great Britain to accept Mr. Marcy’a proposition, affording, as it did, an op portuoity to Mr. Buchanan’s administration to dis continue the negotiation, is much rather matter for congratulation than regret, so far as this country is concerned. The abolition of privateering aud the exemption of private property on the sea from at, tack and capture by enemies’ vessels, leaving com mercial enterprise only exposed to Ihe interruption of effective blockades, seems a very iinporiant and desirable modification of the old laws of maritime warfare ; but until the next step is taken, and com mercial blockades are abolished, leaving free in gress and egress to veesels containing private pro perty not contraband of war, it will be inexpedient, in our.op ; n»* u, for the United States to consent to renounce the right, in case of war, to use our pri vate armed ships, as an auxiliary to our navy, in defence ‘of our shores and commerce against the powerful navies of Ecrope.’ ” If privateering is only legalized plunder, block ading is just as mischievous, for it puts a stop to trade, by cutting off the intercourse between na tions and ruins hundreds. The United States should never give up the right of privateering—unless go vernments with larger naval forces than ours should give up blockading. Without privateering, we sh uld be entirely al tbe mercy ot the latter. For, relieved of the necessity of protecting its commerce against privateeis, it could employ its superior na val three in completely destroying our commerce by blockading all our commercial porta. —Baltimore Sun. Singular Accident. —Surgical Operation. — * The Harrisburg Telegraph says that on Wednesday night last, a eaual boatman named Tomaeh, a resi dent of Loyalsock, Fa., while lying asleep on the deck of his boat, came into collision with a bridge near Higbspire, which struck him ou the b« ck part of the head knocking there r*<in the perietal bone, which w f as found shortly afier as free from extrane ous Fubstance as if it had been extracted by the lmuds of a demonstrator of Anatomy. The wound ed man was of course instantly aroused con cussion. and what is most remarkable, rose to his feet, perfectly unconscious of the extent of the inju ries he had received by the collision. The slight pain in the back of his head gave hiffi no trouble whatever; it was only after he had dressed himself, and one of his comrades had found the bone on deck, that be was made aware of the imfortUDate mutilation of his effput. After this dis covery the unfortunate man was taken to High spire, where Dr. Rutherford was summoned, who, after washing the man’s braiu. and replacing it, aud arranging the splinters of the adjacent parts of the skull in a proper manner,informed him that was all he could do tor him. With this the wounded mau departed, iu a perfectly rational state, to his heme at Loyalsotk. Bank Swindle in France.—A startling case of RedpatJhism has been discovered at Besanc n One of the principal clerks of the branch Bank of France iu that town, named Monnot, who enjoyed an ex cellent reputation for integrity, was found to have a deficit in his account of 16,000 f. On examination of the books no clue of the deficit could be found; so a severe scrutiny was at once made into the ac counts of the bauk. It was then discovered that by means of false entries, false books and other for geries, Monnot had contrived to commit other de ficiU-amopnting to a total of Jg 16.640 sterling. He had carried on this systematic robbery for lb years Monnot confessed his guilt, and was sent before the jury for trial. He has now beeu condemned to eight years' imprisonment and a fine of lOOf. The thief squandered the money of the bank by entering with it into sundry unsound speculation s , which absorbed nearly the whole amount stolen. He Lid establish ed a hotel, also a grocery establishment, but the greater part of his ill-gotten funds was dissipated in discounting rotten bills of exchange.

"Slavery could never be abolished KuglamJ. having control ot the spindles and needing life co*- fon* never would let it be, ho \ever, much fit was talked of; and the controversy wa k« pt up fpr par ly purposes, and to keep party powet. < There are tWo methods by which Ab< l • mists have sought to restrict slavery. Erst, that uas power to du it, which is the doctrine of the Wil m t Pfovjso. The firtt legislation by which we qit affected in that way was in 1820, by the passage ot ihe Missouri Compromise, which was the same doc, trine as the Wilmot Proviso. The Southern d« c v triue was that Congress had no power over the sub ject—tind that all territory accruing to the Govern, uaent'wa equally the property of the States. was always opposed to the Wilmot Proviso anu Missouri Compromise. He considered them as ab- t solutcly and unconditionally unconstitutional. Now. however, the Wiluiot Proviso is dead—not by ihe, repeal ot the Missouri Compromise, but by the de cis on of th- Supreme Court. Now we have the strong, the constitutional, the moral power of law on our part. The second method by which they sought to res trict slavery was, that If Congress had no power io do it, the people of the Territories had. This ci«i**- triue was first proposed by James Buchanan ,iu August, 1817, and that Robert J. Walker at |lmt tune agreed to it There were two ways by which tbe people of the Territory could do this. Fitst, by act. of Territorial Legislature, and this was tbe/firs! phase of Squatter Sovereignty The American party believed this Squatter Sovereignty Wrong because they believed the Legislatme ot a Tsrrito ry had no power to legislate upon a subject' over which Congress itself bad no power. But thiaques lion is aso set led by the late decision of the Su preme Court in the Died Scott case. Now, then, the second way in which the people of the Territo ry are to have this power is, lhat they, the people of the Territories, shall have power, in their pri mary capacity, to exclude slavery. Th--le is a dangerous heresy in this doctrine. Not that he whs opposed to letting the people do it, but the danger is in the way the doctrine is u ged. It may he asked, have not the people the right to do as they please? Have you any more right to Interfere than one man has to interfere with another's farm ? The fallacy of the comparison is in this; the farm belongs exclusively to the man who owns it, The Territories belong not only to those in them but to a’i the States as common property, and not unti' the Territory comes in as a State does she assume a State’s sovereignty ; and hence the people of t.Le States do have a right to say something about mat ters while they are Territories. Then the question is, what people have the right? —who are///Jr -people 1 He and the American party means that the peofle are the citizens—native and naturalized—perma nently residing in the Territories, while the opposite party means all people— all actual residents—all resident inhabitants—all bona tine actual' settlers, from every nation, clime and country. This is the doctrine of James Buchan&n, in his Berks County Letter; that all, black or white, are the people, lie will not say that Buchanan is in favor of blacks voting in Kansas now. He would not do him injustice. Buchanan may or may not be in favor of it—he don’t know. This was the doc trine urged during the excitement pending the ad mission of California, in 1850 - tbe doctrine of refer ring back the constitution to all actual residents, having foreigners of every nation votingxm it. And although lie did not think it was unconstitutional thus to refer it back, he did believe that, it was in expedient and ought not to have been done. It was then said that such a thing never should be don* again, and the Utah and New Mexico terii orial bill granted that the citizens alopeshould deter nine Ihe matter, and not the actual residents This gave quiet. We all, in the doctrine of tne Georgia Plat form, abided by it. Abolitionists were whipped.— From a convention of 1 300 in JBSO, they fell off to to one of 101) in 1852. This one triumph was gain ed under Fillmore’s administration. Why the dis turbance. again ? In 1853, the bill to organize the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, and to repeal the Missouri Compromise, was up,all men agreeing to it. Tbe Georgia Legislature unanimously was in favor of it. But mark ; they expressed this opiniofi, just. bill had passed the Senate, or while pending §p the Senate, and betore ii. Jiad reached the House. When It came into that body, Richard son, of Illinois, attached an amenditwit, to the ef fect, that all actual residents, all people, could vote —even foreigners, not knowing our language— while the old man who went there with his negroes, taking his son, aged 20 years and six months, to support his old age, would have the mortification ol seeiDg anw fore gner vote and his sou unable to do so. The American party said that a term of resi dence ought to be required ; and the Americans of 1855 repudiated that clause of the Kansas aud Ne braska Act. The first Legislature of Kansas was lor slavery, only because the Black Republicans would not vote, not because ti e foreigners there were in favor of slavery; and that Le; i&lature pass ed a law that citizens only should vole, ♦bus altering the Kansas and Nebraska bill. Why did they alter it ? Because they knew it was unfavorable to the Smith. What did the Cincinnati Convention say ? That all actual residents should vote. Buchanan’s Letter of Acceptance said : “the people <»f the Ter ritories, like those of the Statee,” cYc. His Inaugu reiterated the same, although the Kansas Legisla ture had said only citizens should vote opposed to the Legislature. He regarded the deception prac ticed in this business as the moot disgraceful in the annals of American History. And when the Ameri can party told them of it, they all cried out Dark Lanterns! What did they say in 1856? Vote for Buchanan and save the South and get Kansas. In passing through some of the upper counties of Geor gia, the speaker had found a precious old Democrat ic document—un old motto —which he would show. Here it is: BUCK, BREGK AND KANSAS! - Oh ! what a sight and what a scene ! And as with thunder tones the orator shouted : “You've got your Buck, you’ve got your Bret k, bfit w h c r-c ’-s your Kansas ?" Such a shout rent the mid air as our ears may never hear again. It was enough Puck had been elected, the South was saved, K u sas was got—and only four months hud elapsed, when lo! Georgia Democracy denouncing Walker and clamoring for his recall, and Alabama Democra cy laying Buchanan confi fence on the table. But thej' eay, wait a while, it won’t ri* foi the Democra cy to split—let the country split, if you please, but never let the Demor lacy split. Put now they eay ; wall, if Fillmore had b°en elected, he would have done so, too! Poor fellows! What an excuse! - Because Buchanan had deceived them, may be Fill more would have done so, too! Then, again, they blame Walker end hold up Buchanan—as the editor ot the Newfian Blade says, they blame the dog that bit them, while they praise the man that eet him on. No, don't split the Democracy. But, if Fillmore had been elected, and this had been d° l,e > *l ie cr y would have come up ell over I ho South to dissolve th*? Union. Don’t split the Democracy ! If rhis little notion —this Kansas question—has deceived them, hold on to Democracy fords other great doc trines. Remember, this Kansas question was the only one in 1856. The other grea f doctrines! They have violated every doctrine they ever had, and he stood ready to prove it. We wish we had time and youh <1 space to fol low the speaker through iiisexpi ~-lions of the Demo cratic internal improvement I ; tory—the giving away of 104 millions of acres of land to rlalroad companies and members ot Congress, by a Demo cratic Congress. See. With a power of language, a quickness aud keenness of sarcasm, he flayed them —smiting them hip and thigh, and routing them horse and dragoon-. Oh, it was e. glorious time—a convincing time—a time to mak • men proud of being American citizens, and to feel that it is aD honor to the human raoe to claim such a man as Ben. H. Hill.

A dozen voices responded that there was no le-al l astic-e in Kansas—that the courts were a farce— ind ’hat no mau had ever beeu punished here for murder. Judge Lecompte admitted that no murderer had eeu convicted, but it was not his fault. There vas no man who loved justice aud hated crime uore than he—no one who was more anxious to see he guilty punished.

Witlcn ten minutes two thousand men and boys had gathered around the jail, which is* small stone building, with very strong doiys of wood and iron. At. a short distance from the crowd many wo men also were lookers on. Judge Leeompte again attempted to speal: but a perfect tumult of shouts prevented hint. S .me dc dated that he had ruled and wronged peaceable citizens too loug already. Others said that unless he refrained from speaking an example would be made ot him. The Judge very wisely withdrew. Another speaker sprang upou some elevated ob ject, and urged that no violence should be used. IP commanded the peace. He announced that he wu the L ited States Marshal, when km voice was in stantly drowned by such cries as “down with him, ’ "let 8 hang him, he deserves it," etc. The Marshal rreatly frightened, and with good reason. He tut ti ed pale; his voice grew husky, and he also disap peared m thecrowd. “*Ron, the post master here and a certain Judge Wood ot Lecompten, both attempted to speak, but were dissuaded by their friends. The crowd was in such an exasperated condition that a few words from any energetic person would have caused their lives to pay the forfeit, had they persisted in snehk mg. r Mayor Adams was absent from the city on a business trip to Atchinson. Judge S N. Latin, who was officiating in his place, did bis best to restrain the people, bet his influence was like a whisper iu a tempest. Mr. Cowell, the City Marshal, stood bts ground bravely; but he was picked up like a play thing by a dozeu meu, carried away a few rods and held in full view of the scene. Another officer was knocked down, and others were removed. A crowbar was soon brought, and an attempt made to pry the doors open. That not proviso successful, a stick of timber, eight or feu inches square and thirty feel long, was procured. The people used it as a battering ram, and the bolts of the door were iustantly broken. It appears that Quarles is a native of South Caro lina, Piekens’ district, and Bay of Points ville, John ston county, Kentucky. The latter kept a dtinking shop ill Leavenworth. Both were hardened wretch es. Knighten, who was first arrested, and con fessed the whole conspiracy, is a native of Clay county, Indiana, and only 21 years old. while the crowd were abseut at the gallows the first time, the officers took Knighten and Woods from the jail and carried them up to the F.n l, for safe keeping. Gen. Harney, however, refused to receive them, on the ground that there were but lew troops there to guard them, and that the guard room vas full. Woods, who appears fohave been the chief of the gang, was a native of Tennessee. The oouute. t'eit money was all obtained from hi n. and he seems to have grown quite rich by robbery and other crimes. On the "second day of the mob Major Adams returned, and by It's popularity managed to disperse the multitude. Knighten made a detailed confession. The following is the substance of it: My name is Ammon Knighten ; am twenty-one years old; was born in Clay couu'y, Indiana, but principally raised in Hendricks county, iu the same State, where my parents now reside; was brought up and have always lived until this summer on a farm; arrived in Kansas on the first of July ; drove a government team on the prarte until the 19th, when I was taken sick and came back to Leaven worth ; stayed about town working in a brick-yard until a week ago to day, when I went over to the island and engaged to chop wood for Powers & Losie; on Monday commenced chopping with Quarleß, whom I had never seen before ; in a few days showed me some counterfeit mouey ; wanted me to take some and pass it, offering to divide the profits; said be knew where he could get five thous and dollars of it. One day he got me pretty drunk, (I am not in the habit of drinking much,) and gave me a slonote on a South Carolina Bank; I offered it at the city bakery in Leavenworth, but it was refused, and I became frightened, and threw it away; never told Quarles what I did with it; iaat Friday night 1 came over here with him at his request; he did not tell me for what purpose he wished me to come ; lie bad a knife and revolver in his belt when we start ed ; Woods met us at the skiff and come over with us ; he and Quarles had a good deal of private con versatien together; Quarles treated me until I was pretty drunk ; then told me there was a mau here who had SIOO, whom Woods had told him about, and that Bays proposed we should all get him out of town, and take the money from him ; l sa d I had never been in any scrapes of that kind, and would not go; he told me there was no danger, ami ' made me drink more ; I had never seen Woods or Bays beiore , Quarles intimated to me that ho could get counterfeit money of them; said Woods was their bauket, and they all deposited with him. I gathered from what he told me, and from por tions which I heard of their private conversation to gether, that there was a large gang of them; that some of the company were in Osawkee, Lecornpton, Lawrence and other p'aces through the territory ; he wished me to go til with them to rob this man ; it was Uefore supper when we came over the river ; during the evening Quarles and Wuoaa were to gether a good deal; Quarles left me several times, and we met afterwards ; at last, before nine o’clock when we met in a saloon, he told me Bays had gone after the man, and we drank once more aud went up the levee together; some distauce below the spring we met two men, who were strangers to me; before we met, Quarles told me there had been a murder committed lately up here, aud said, " Don’t you see the man with the Btraw hat on We understood him to menu that one of the men whom we met had been concerned in the murder he spoke of; he bade them good evening when we met them; when we got to the spring, Bays and the de ceased weresittingjust below it, talking; Quarles ; said, before we got there, “ that is our man with the : black coat on,” (Stevens;) he also said Bays had j arranged it so that Stevens would have no arms 1 about him; we walkt d to the spring, drank, aud j passed up a little, Bays and Steveia then came t down to the spring ; Bays drank, stepped back and ! invited Stevens to drink ; he did so, aud wjteu he j commenced rising. Bays caught him by the collar j and told him to dtliver up Ins mouey ; he struck Sto vens at the same moment; Stivenß screamed,strug fled, and got off a little way, and there was a sufflu; threw a stone at him which I picked up on the way, at the requtst of Quarles ; 1 was but foul' or five feet away from the struggle, and I sprang over and caught Stevens by the arm ; Bays still had hold of him, and he was down; Quarles struck him with his knife ; Bays said, “ kill aim and throw him in the river." Quarles fired a pistol shot, during the scuffi -, Bays and Quarles were fumbling about Stevens, but I didn't see them get any money ; I had no idea they intended to hurt him until Quarles stabbed him ;he got away from us, ran own the ba k into the river, making a moaning noise ; X ran away with Quarles, as fast as I could; Bays disappeared in the other directiou; Quarles threw his knife uway, aud we came around to town aud went into Bays’ grocery, where several men were playing cards; Quarles began talking with them snout or dinary matters ; very soon Bays came to the door, and called out an Irishman: in a few minutes the Irishman returned, and eaid Bays had been lobbed. Bays locked pale, and said he and Stevens had gone to the spring to drink, when they were attacked, he was robbed, aud he thought Stevens was mur dered. The Irishman said, “let us go down and see about it;" so two Irishmen, Quarleß, Bays sand myself went down to the spring ; found Steveriß lying on a rock, on the water’s edge, groaning faintly; Quarles and Bays sent the Irishman for a doctor, ana while they were gone, searched Stevens ; he only liven a minute or two ; I saw no money, but I saw Quarles throw something into the water, which he took from his (Stevens) pocket; the doctor soon came and pro nounced Stevens dead; Quarles and I staid till the coroner came ; we then went down town; he t ink his revolver and some counterfeit money he had and said he gave them to Wood ; I left him.in a saloon ; went down the river some distunce and siepr under a tree; in the morning was going across the river to the island, when I was arrested, I felt bad and recklees, andoidn’t care whether they arrested me j or not, when I took Stevens by the arm to hold him, it was at Quarles’ orders ; I have always been an honest boy before.’’ Indian Fighticg in Texas.—We are indebted to Lieut. Wood, U. S. A., who arrived here last evening, from Texas, eu route sos Washington, for the following facts, which were received by him from Lieut Hood, of the 2d Artillery, just as he wus leaving Texas : Lieut. Hood, Company G, 2d Cavalry, reports an engagement, on the 20 th J uly, at th j head of Devil River, with 45 Indians. He had tweDty-four men on a scouting party; was informed at Fort Mason, from which he was de tached, that a band of Lipans had obtained permis sion to bring in tbeirfamihes, and if they encountered any of the scouting parties, they were to hoist u white flag On the 20lh, he discovered ten Indians who raised a white flag. He kept seven men with i biH pack mules and started towards them, andfwhen he approached within abo lit thirty yards, they ttn | mediately lowered their flag, and twite thirty In dians sprang up aud commenced firing rifles and , These shots were forthwith returned, and a close , combat ensued. Lieut. Hood’s meu were armed with yagers and one revolver each. The melee be came so dose that one of tne*men, alter tiring his fun, hung it over the pommel of his saddle, and an odian took it off! He killed nine Indians and wounded jten or twelve. Lost two men, one killed and ouexnissiug; one I dangerously wounded ; himself and three men were wounded; and one horse was killed and three wounded. Lieut. Hood had seventeen fighting men in the engagement. HisJ guides counted forty-five In dians, and stated them to bo Lipans and Carnau • ches. If Lient. Hood’s men had been armed with two ’ revolvers each.it is thought lie would have dcs ’ t rayed the whole party.— N. O.

The steamer Fulton has arrived at New York, with European dates corresponding with thoße brought by the Indian at Quebec. The details con tain lit tie of interest which has not already been publish d in our telegraphic summary. We sub join a few items : The marriage of Ihe Princess Charlotte, of Bel gium. wiili ihe Archduke Maximillian, of Austria was celebrated with great pomp at Brussels, on the 'Jith. Prince Albert represented the English Court on theoccasiou. The King of Belgium had granted an amnesty to numerous prisoners. Letters to the London Times state that the En ghsh and French Ambassadors at Madrid had noti that she could not rely on assistance from their Governments, ln the event of a war with Mexi co, consequently Spain had acceded to the offers of mediation. A represeotative of Santa Ann* had arrived at Madrid. The trials of the Italiau insurgents were progress ing at Naples on the 23d July, but up to that date none of the prisoners had been shot. A prisoner named Nicotera had revealed the whole plan. A despatch from Berlin says that the Government who are-parties to the Zullverein, collectively claim froux.Eoglaiid indemnity tor the losses sustained by tltMf subjects at Canton, the bou brrdmont having place without previous intimation to their rtv> us consternation prevailed along the Mozelle on ai\ount.ot serious conflagrations which had de aln-yed wmtll towns villages and forests. It was believed to be the work of incendiaries. li was slated that negotiations were in progress for a conciliation between the Sardinian and Aus than governments, and the consequent renewal of diplomatic relations. The Russian government had reduced the rate of 4 1 interest paid by (he Imperial Banks from four to | ftlir *e per cent., from the 15th of August next. * } Odessa is no louger to be a free port, but is to be subjected to the general tariff. The Austrian government was said to have sign <*d a Convention with various Itailian States, the wluoh is to resist in future any revolut on nr vr; tacks. The utmost dispatch was being used in the ship nfent of tro »ps to ludia The mutiny had continued to spread among the troops of the Bengal army. The Ex King of Oude has beeu arrested, and, with Ins Minister, has been imprisoned in Fort Wil liam. The government has obtained proof of his complicity in the conspiracy. U > to the J7th o r June General Barnard had re pulsed several sorties iioui Delhi wilh heavy loss to the insurgents. Ho was waiting <*or reinforcements. From Madras it is positively seated that Delhi has been captured, hu! the iut« L gerc- is not con firmed from Bombay, ami seems i*r**mature. An act Ims been passed by the L gisla’ure placing the Indian pvees u der altCeimesys.Hm. Tie- native troops at Calcutta, and the brigade at liarrackpore, have been qui tly disarmed. An uneasy feeling prevailed at Madras, but the army of that Presidency, and of Bombay, are both without the rtl'ghtest sign of disaffection. c take tne following telegraphic dispatches, from Tri ste, from the London Times : Tho Chinese tleet has been dectroyed in two se vere engagements. The Cnmese fought their guns with unexampled const aiicy. We have 83 men killed and wounded. Major Kearney was killed in the last engage ment. Commodore Keppel and the Master of the Ra leigh have been tried for the loss of that vessel and acquitted. A3 is quiet in the North. As the Agamemnon was weighing anchor, in the Thames, a serious accident occurred, by the cap stern i uuniug away with the men at the bars. Fii teen men were more or less injured—some of them badly. The Agamemnon left Siieerness for Cork, on the 27th, and it was supposed that all the v«-s sels wou'd be at the rendezvous by the time the lu dian left Lverpool. The ereateet confidence was manifested in the successful accomplishment of the enterprise. Later from Texas. The steamship Opelousas has arrived at New Orleans, bringing later news from Texas. The Picayune has the following summary of intelli gence : The news of the death of Gen. Rusk had reached Galveston, Houston and Indiauola, and created a profound seuaution. The papers of those cities are m mourning for the sad event. The Galveston Civ iln.n, of the 4th, remarks: "The news fell upon our city this morning as a funeral knell, creating the most profound sensations of sorrow among all classes. We have neither the time or inclination to-day to dwell upon the public loss or the virtues of the illustrious dead —lie who is acknowledged to have been the most popular m n in the Uuited States Senate, and in his own State—tne idol of his neighbors, and a hero ot our own revolution. Others will doubtless pre pare a memoir of his life and public services, and all Texas, indeed, all national men, will mourn his dcuth in the meridian of life and fame as a nation’s loss.” • The Civilian Extra, of the 6th inst., gives returns of the State election, held on tho 3d, from eighteen counties, and parts of counties, by which it appears that the vote for Governor, as far as heard from, was as follows : Runnels 4.151, Houston 2,455 — majority for Runnels 1,696. Galveston, Harris, Calhoun and Washington counties had elected the Democratic candidates for the State Seuate, and accounts of the return of fourteen Representatives —all Democrats—had been received. The Galveston News, of the 4th, says : The election in this city yesterday was the occa sion of considerable excitement and some noise among the friends of the various candidates, but no serious disturbances occurred. A pretty large vote was given, and the result is a complete triumph for the candidates of the Democratic party, without exception. Runnels leads Houston for Governor by 2»1 votes, which is more than twice as large a majority as the city gave Buchanan over Fillmore last November. Such a drought as we have now in this city was never be'ore known. Nearly all our cisterns are empty, and probably three-fourths of our popula tion are using well water for all the purposes for which it can be used. From all accounts the health of the towns on Ma tagorda Bay and our coast generally, continues more than usually good. Iu fact, we hear no ao counts of sickness whatever, and it is to be hoped th* season may pass without any of the sad scourges which have visited some of our sea ports in former years. The Victoria Advocate, of the Ist inst, says s The planters on the river below town are exult ing in the prospect of large cotton crops. The stands are excell nt, ami the plant is thrifty and loaded with bolls and blossoms. The Austin State Gazette, of the Ist instant says: Capt. Giles has shown us some bolls of cotton which opened upon his plantation about the 23d of July. It looks very well to be raised with so muoli drought as we have experienced. Ills plantation is situated near Austin. The Fairfield Pioneer, of the 25th nit., reports a heavy ram m that county, continuing for two or three days. Some now think that at least a half crop of corn will be made while others say three fourths of a crop. Cotton is doing tolerably well. The Quitman Herald uotioee aohaly beate spring in the northeastern corner of Wood county, whioli bids fair to become a famous watering place.— About 100 persons ale stoppi- g there this season. I f is about seventeen mdes from Quitman, uud is said to pjssess fare medicinal properties. The Bascrop Advertiser says that Col Allen, of Kontui.ky, has been iutown with the vievol esp.b fishing there a military edcaticnai ii et tutu n ot a high "ider. Col. Allen is widely known throughout, the Union as a highly successful tea- he v . The cor poration of Bastrop have appropriated $2,000 to aid the enterprise, and private citizens have coutribu i ted liberally to the same object. Its suoce3B is con sidered certain. The cultivation of the Chinese sugar cane has Dein thoroughly tested in Bastrop county, and has withstood the drought aaUnisLingly. While corn has failed to grow in tho same field, the plant has grown to the height of six and eight feet. The Dallas Herald reports that on the 23d ult. the long hoped for and much needed rain fell in qopious quantities, thoroughly saturating the earth, and giving vegetation a new start. The same paper says : Large droves of buffalo have recently comedown on the west folk of Trinity, some forty or fifty miles above Fort Worth They are supposed to been driven into that region for water. It is the Ifrpt time for several years that buffalo have been seen so near us in large numbers. The Belton Independent is credibly informed that late rams in that section of the State will increase the corn crop about fifty per cent. The Goliad Express says the surprising success of the wheat crop this year has set every one in the notion ot sowing at least a trial patch for the next season. It is reduced to a demonstration (the Ex press adds) that all parts of Texas are among the finest wheat regions iu the world. A Terrible Waterspout in Lower Canada. —Mr. Prouix,of St.Elizear, in the county of ooauee, writes to the Journal de Quebec a very lively des cription of a waterspout which burst near the vil lage church. It made its anpearauce at first in the form of a cloud of the blackest kind, about an acre and a half in extent, pressed against by other mas ses of greyish cloud. Shortly the cloud seemed to be torn in two, and a large column was s en to descend fiom the open ing to the earth like an avalanche. Distended above undsucki g the cloud, this column, like an immense serpent, twisted itself about with frightful rapi ity, and balancing itself in the water like the tail of a paper Kite, rushed to the earth with a hissing noise resembling tho escape of steam. It plowed up the ground, s-vept away everything within reach, and planks, pules, and ruins of buildings mounted into the air like the rubbish out of a volcano. The house of William Grenier was twisted, bro ken, the chimney beaten down, and the roof car ried (ff into the air. A barn was beaten dowD, and the fragments scattered. The roof was torn off the house of Joseph Boulanger and dashed to atoms.— The bam and stable of Elizear B-ulanger were de stroyed, and one of the timbers, thirty feet in length, carried across a ten acre field. A horse belonging to Thomas Oullet was raised to he height ot thirty feet from the ground, and the n fell, covered with mud and leaving a deep im prersion on the spot where he struck. Three cows were similarly raised, and covered with mud when they fell. Two carts were lifted from in front of the demolished bouse of Wm. Grenier, and carried furiously over the neighboring fields into the woods, where they were smashed to atoms. More than oue hundred acres of lencing was torn up,.together with the pickets, raised to the clouds, and after some time, scattered over the neighboring fields and woodsy a good number falling straight, were buried so deep in the ground that they could not be pulled out by one man. Fields of grain were destroyed as if a heavy harrow had passed and repassed seve ral Three sugar tushes were beaten dowu, and the trees were broken and interlaced like a field of grain which has been beaten down by hail. A maple tree of considerable diameter was plucked up and carried a distance of five acres. Aa euor . mous cherry tree was carried through the air in tne same manner. The Pnwt adds that he witnessed these ravages »ith his own eyes, and that the facts stat y can be attested by hundreds.

Walker having re mained watching the people of Lawr. nee till on his sober mornings he became heartily ashamed of hitn ielf, has beeu for several days cast ing about him for •mine means to get out of his miserable scrape Four dav* ago a messenger was despatched by him to Fort Riley—for what purpose nobody knew, but last night a courier came from the Fort to Walker’s camp with dcspatche- i this morning at eivht o’clock. Walker « fame up near Lawrence was broken up. and he and ml his .roops started up the river, leaving'the people of Lawrence to commit treason unpunished. It is reported that the courier brought news that the commander of the Fort was I afraid the Cheyenne Indians wouid attack him, and ■ •asked Walker for aid, but the messenger himself, ™ (I saw him this morning) did not think the Fort in auy danger. The whole thing is understood here as an inven tion to give Walker an opportunity to withdraw gracefully from Lawrence. Ashamed of his exploit, he is glad to reireat back into the interior of the Territory, away from newspaper reporters, and out of sight • nd hearing of Lawrence. Col Titus arrived here last night. He has gone up the liver with the Governor. Correspondence of the St. Louis Democrat. Lawrence, Aug. 3. —lt is the duty of the Gov ernor to make apportionment for the Territoral ejection. It a fair apportiomneni was made, the Free State men would carry the election by a ma jority of nine teuths. This result would not suit the purposes of the Natioua' Democracy ; a fraud, therefore, was resolved on. Gov. Walker, in bis speech at Topeka, used the following language : In October next, not under the act of our Terri torial Legislature, but under the law of Congress, you, the whole people of Kansas, have the right, to -led a delegate to Congress and to elect a Territo rial Legislature.” II • promised that this lijjht should be secured by a “ fair and full election.” Ah he is PreHident Buchanan's candidate tor the next Demo« ratic nomination, it would u«.t 00, of course, for Walker to execute the contemplated fraud directly. By the bogus laws the Governor is required to make au apportionment before n given day ia June; but it provides that if he fails to fulfil this duty it shall f il to the ta*k of the Speak r of tho House of Delegates and tho President of tho Terri torial Council. Governor Walker was familiar with t he provision of the act, fir he ftfeJ-pd t*» it in one of ilia speeches in Kansas. He now dodges the execution of the fraud and permit*' the Speaker and the Presi dent to do it. Bemembor that th** act only save that after n named day in Juue. it may, not rhali be Fine by these The Governor never loses t'ie power to make this appiintineut, and should be sternly held re-po able t r i's character.

The Bank Robbery in Toronto.—A most pain ful train of circumstances has come to light in re gard to the robbery comin'tted hist week upon the Government agency of the B ink of Upper Cuimda. The condition o! the cilice the morning after tlie robbery was committed, and the absence of violence upon the Bank Ha'e, led to suspicions that the deed was done from within and not from without; and these suspicions were confirmed by the discovery that, the glass in the window, cut by the burglar* sj *is to remove the inside fastenings and enable thorn to pass. into the room, was cut with a diamond from the inside and not from without The agent, Mr. Cummings, was thereupon subjected to a (dose examination, and all lira b •« • ' s mm 1 papeis minutely overhauled. We regret t* v at lliis iutestiga tion disclosed the fact thn •• i Cummings had for some lime been secretly e* (Fn * the funds of the Bank (entrusted to him for Government purposes) tj various individuals—and that at the moment of the robbery he was largely in default to the Bank. A charge was just about being made in the mode ofcondin t ng the Goveinmunt agency, wb oh must have led to the detection of the whole afTair—-and the suspicion na urally fol'owed that a mock robbe ry was got uo 1 * avert discovery. Criminal infor mations, on this belief. were immediately laid by the officers of the Bank against Mr. Cummings, and certain parties to u horn be avers he lent the missing money. We have not ascertained names of all the parties implicated, though rumor points to more than one individual occupying a prominent position. There is no doubt, however, of the mel ancholy fact, that warrants have been issued for the arrest o'J. J. Kerby. barrator of this city, and Mr. McGaffoy, formerly a contractor, and now director of the Northern Railroad. Mr McGaffey was apprehended yesterday afternoon, but at a late hour last night neither Mr Cum nings nor Mr. Ker by had been arrested — Globe , Aug. 6. The Colonis says that it is all«g'-d that McGaffey received $7,000, and Kerby $1 000, and that they won the money at cards from Cummings. It fa furl her added that Cummings has confessed the whole matter. The Protestant World in Conference.—A Convention, composed of representatives from all part* of the word, embracing all denominations of Protestant Christians, baa been called, under the auspices of the “ Evangelical Alliance,” and, by in vitation of the King of Prussia, will meet iu Benin, Prussia, iu September next. Among the represen- * tativesare Dr Dwight, Dr. King and Mr. Scimffer, ' missionaries from Constantinople. A large deiega- * tion from the United States will be present. Arising them the Rev Dr Alexander, from the Old School Presbyterian Church ; Dr Forsyth, from the Asso ciate Reformed ; Rev. Wm, Nasi, of Cincinnati, from the Episcopal; and Dr. Black, from the Re formed Presbyterian. The latter fw • sailed on Thursday in the steamer Indiana. The Archbishop of Canterbury, with various prelates and foreign ambassadors, have interested themselves in the matter. Dr. Meil d’Auhigne has consented to pre pare a discourse <»u the Evangelical Alliance for the promotion of union, as compared with assemblies in priinitiv - times for the same purpose. Reports on the state of Protestantism in different countries are to be made, and a general interchange of sentiment enjoyed. The subjeot o f rel'gious liberty will be freely discussed, as the King has promised protec tion in perfect freedom of speech on this as well as all other subjects. The meeting Is looked forward to with great interest by the Christian world.— Balt. Amer. T«i Greatest Natural Bridge in tbe World.—The Abingdon Virginian « on rad.ets he statement recently published, that “the greatest natural bri ge in the world is that over Ced*r creek in Virginia. It extends across a chasm 80 feet iu width, and 250 feet, deep, a' the bottom of which a creek flows.'' The Virginian says : The writer is mis’&ken, not as to the dimensions of the bridge, but ns to the faot of its being the “greatest natural bridge in the woi d.” There is a natural bridge within 52 miles of this place, in Soott county, Virgi ia. compared with which, the bridge over Cedar creek is a mere circumstance. The Soott bridge ext-nds *cro*s a chasm more than twice 80 feet in width, and is 420 feet deep, at tbe bottom of which fl iwh h much larger and more rapid stream than Cedar ere- k Tie «rch of the Scott bridge is not so perfectly farmed ns that, of Cedar oreek, but it is uni less a bridge, wi h a broad wagon road lo cated upon it. The survey ot the Cumberland Gap railroad passed through the arch of this bridge. It is perhaps th- wi'dest and most stupendous natural cariosity in the United States, and yet it is compar atively unknown Sudden and Singular Death.—We learn from a private letter to a lel.a'ive in th-s city, of the death of Mr J«<hn I. Waller, in Columbia, 8. C., un der tbe following ciroum-tances. After braakfast, on the morning of the 28»b ult., Mr. Walter went t'i the < ffice of a dentist iu that city, to have one or more teeth extracted. After the operation had been performed, he arose from the chair to his feet, and the operator stepped to the water bucket and handed him a dipper of water to wash out his mouth. When presented, Mr. Wa'ter informed him that he was unable to raise the dipper to his mouth. He was asked to sit down, and he renlied that he could not. The operator then took hold of him and assisted him to the chair, but finding he could not sit assisted him to the floor, and found he had become paralyzed. Medical aid was immedi ately procured, but no relief could be given, and he died that evening. He never spoke after being as sisted from his standing position. Mr. W. was about 58 or 60 years of age, and though thin in flesh had enjoyed uniform good health for the last twenty years. Mr Walter was a >■' Philadelphia, but had been a resident of Colu- ‘ »to • nar forty >ears, where, by his upright c a deportment in bis intercourse with his fellow citizens, he won tbe uni versal respect, and enjoyed ih-* h'gheet esteem of every one with whom he had business transactions. —Columbus Sun The Great Eastern.—Opinions still differ ex ceedingly concerning this vessel's proving a re mu* nerative investment.
