The 1 nf£r.nai. Machine.—The following is an
extract from a Paris letter received in Manchester:
“ The following account of the explosion of the in
Jemal machine uurier the carriage of the French
Emperor and Empress, reached me from an eye
witness early on Friday morning. It was narrated
to my informant prior to tbe delivery of the morn
ing newspapers, and was confirmed by tbe account
of the Moniteur in all particulars, while it surpasses
all ‘he accounts hitherto published in its simple,
exact, a graphic details: —T was walking/ said this
gentleman, ‘down the liue Lepelletier towards the
Boulevard, with my child, a little girl, holding my
hand. Opposite the door of the Opera a small
crowd bad collected, waiting to witness the arrival
< f the Emperor and Empress. Kistori, it had been
announced, was to play ‘Marie Stuart/ Tbe impe
rial carriage soon drove up, attended by an escort
of lancers While the Emperor and Empress were
descending from the carriage a man in a blue blouse,
v. ho bad been standing by the side of my child, ad
vt’.re *d suddenly and threw something about eigh
• inches long and five broad under the carriage.
Three explosions went off successively and a hor
r and uproer arose, amidst which the Emperor and
Empress ran into the theatre. Confusion and her
r r paralysed every body for some seconds, upon
awakening troin which 1 saw’ the carriage broken,
two horses killed, a young, lady appearentiy dead,
a guard with his leg broken, and several onlookers,
wounded. Not merely the man in the blouse, but
the b}>tanderß who chose, had time to leave the
spot before tbe soldiers marched up, surrounding
and arresting the curious crowd which had ben
gathered by the reports and uproar, *
The Paris correspondent of the Times, in a letter
dated Sunday evening Bays:
Pari*, Sunday, Jan. 17—G, P. M.—The Emperor
drove along the Boulevards this afternoon at 31
o’clock He had an orderly officer out of uniform
by Lis side, and two servants behind. Otherwise he
was unaccompanied, not even an outrider preceded
tbe carriage. He was saluted everywhere, and by
all t lasses. with the greatest respect.
Tne examination of the prisoners is still going on.
The four principally implicated are said to have
made disclosures, but whether they exclusively refer
to their own acts, or implicate others, I am not
aware. Pierri, tbe ex-colcne! in the Roman Repub
lican army, was established in Paris, before tbe
revolution in February, us a manufacturer of caps,
lie assisted in tbe formation of a Franco-Italian
battalion, and pioceeded as its Commandant to the
R unan States when the revolution had already get
the upper hand. His military eareer terminated
with the Roman Republic ; since then he has led the
usual life of a conspirator. He W'as arrested, as you
may remember, only a few moments before the at
tempt wa made, as lie stood by a door half-way
down the Rue Lepelietier. He was recognized by
Hebert, the,chief oi police on duty, as a man who
had been expelled four years ago from France. The
arrest was fortunate, a? had he beeu at liberty to
act, the danger great as it was, would have been
more so A projectile, a poioard, and a revolver
were found on him. 1 may as well observe that the
Opera-house of the Rue Lepelletier is not the Ital
ian, but the French Opera ; its official designation
w “Acaderoie Imperiale de Musique.” The house
where Italian performances are given is on the oth
er side of the Boulevard Rue Mousiguy, and is some
time* called the Salle Veuiadour. The Rue Lepel
ktier house is the national establishment for music,
h* the Theatre Francois is for tbe regular drama ;
both receive a large sum in aid from the State.
The Pi.oT.-Tue Moniteur publishes tho follow
ing article: ‘‘The crime at which till ParD still
shudders, ar.d which will excite the indignati *n of
the whole world, appears to be the result of a vast
plot concocted in other countries.” In fact, the go
vernment received from Jersey, so long ago as June
last, tho following information : “The plot consists
iu tne manufeo ure of fulminating grenades, nvent
cd by -r. Tuey are of a power hitherto un
known, and are intended to be thrown underneath
the carriage, where their striking against the pave
ment will cause their explosion and the destruction
•1 the csriiage.” On the other hand, a fresh maui
feato of Mazzini appeared on the 9th instant in the
Italia del Popolo of Genoa. Lastly, the reports re
oeat-iy received from London by the French Gov
eri ment stated as follows :
A man named’ Pierri, who is a native of Florence,
and formerly an officer of the Italian Legion, has
just quitted England for the purpose of carrying into
execution plot uoncouted agifinst the Jife of tj:e
Emperor. This Italian is a man of from 49 to
yeais of uge, small in stature, thin, dark, aud of a
sickly Lue. He speaas French badly, with a strong
Italian accent, but speaks English very well. He
is a violent, sanguinary aud very determined man,
who waß obliged to lly from ins own country in
consequence of eeveral murders, and among others
that es a priest. Before leaving England, Pierri
Lad several interviews with the French refugees in
London.
A later account says : “ Pierri has passed through
Brussels, where he saw severel refugees. He has
proceeded to Paris by way of Lille, accompanied
by (in elderly man whom he took up at Brussels,
and carrying with him a machine of hollow oast iron,
made on the Jacquin system. It is remarked that
this mail travels m first class carriages, alights at
j.ho forit hotels, and appears to be well supplied with
money. This same pie.-ri whose description was in
t t hands of tbe police agents of Paris, WQB arrested
on the evening of the attempt near the Opera, 1 a lew
minutes before it took place. Unfortunately, his
accomplices wen* already at work, and it was not
possible to prevent their guilty design.”
When Pierri was taken to ihe guard house, near
ike spot where he was arrested, the explosion had
not yet taken place. In two minutes, however, it
reached his ear; he cried out to the guard, “Do
what you like with me; lam content—the blow is
sirauß.- Jio appeared certain that it had taken
eifoct, bul dismayed s7h*n he heard of the
Emperor s escape.
The person named O.eini is, it seems, tbe sauife
whose extraordinary escape from the prison of
Mantua, a* recounted in the papers about a year
ago, excited eo much curiosity. He had been con
demned to uCd til by the Austrian tribunals. He
],£d taken a very active in the Italian revolu
tion iu 1848. Daring the Mazzini at
Rome, Orsiiii wa9 sent as Commissioner to Ancona
to inquire into the aginations were of fre
quent and even daily occurrence there. }je haa
been mixed up in various attempts at insurrection
ahum fall of the Roman Republic. After the ex
plosion of the projectiles, he made his way to his
i idgiugs in the Rue Monthabor, and it was owing
. l j the inquiries ol his servant at the guard house o
ihe Rue Lepelletier, who, with agony depicted op his
countenance, demanded of the byetanders where
ills master was, th*t he waa apprehended. He whs
asked, who was hTs maste/ ? He remained silent,
iiml fainted. This gave rise to s^enicion; he was
arrested and disclosed his master’s kJdreeg. J have
heard little cf what may be relied upon respedtiug
the two others, named Go me 2 aud Da Silva, other
wise Rudio. They are skid to begs an inferior class
of men. It is still affirmed tha the persons direutly
nnd most deeply implicated in this nefarious trgns
action are Italians. I should add that Orsini had
long broken off, at least in appearance, with Maz
/.iui. He was very badly wounded on Thursday
night by the explosion.
-dUKCEh i White Countv—Election of
County Offi.cerp.—Through the kindness of Capt.
W. B. Dorsey of this place ye learn the particulars
of a most horrible murder committed on the night
of the Ist inst., in the new county of White which
our readers will recolleot, was laid oft’ by the last
Legislature from the counties of Lumpkin and
Habersham. The parties were Ben Hensley and
.lack Winters It seems that, some
Hensiy had accused Winters of stealing corn and
that Winters, to eyenj/e himself, had gone to Hen
sley’s house while he (Hensley’ was absent, and
alter drawing a targe knife, had threatened *° kill
every member of Hensley's family if they dm not
leave the place. For this, Hensley had a peace
warrant issued, and placed in the hands of an officer.
Jjp to the Ist insi. however, il had not been served.
Off that day the election tor county officers was held
a: -lit. Vopah, and both parties were present. They
both were drip-king, snd daring the course of the
day had some angry words. Hepsley went home
late in the evening, and about dark. ‘Winters rode
up to his (Hensley’s) bouse, and invited him m
come out and drink with him. Hensley refused,
and to a similar invitation, his wife and daughter
replied iu the same manner. Winters then became
very abusive and profane, and HeDslev walked out
U Lim. When he got within reach of Winters, the
woman saw Winters strike him over the head with
what they supposed was a bottle, but which after
wards proved to be a decanter. Being greatly
fri . hlened. they ran off vo the nearest neighbors,
and the alarm bemg given, a party werp soon in she
pursuit of the murderer. He was fouDd in bed in
his own house, about half a mile from the scene of
the murder. aDd was immediately arrested, The
Coroner of Habersham county was notified, and an
inquest was held, resulti giu the commitment of
Winters to the jailat Clarksville. The head of the
murdered man was awfully mangled—the skull be
mg cut entirely in several places, one side
of it crushed in and L a jaw bone broken. One arm
was also broken. A bloody axe, a;;d stake pulled
from the fence, were found near the body, ap.d the
supposition is, that they were also used in the work
of death

The Hong Kong Friend of China, et Nov. 28th,
; gives a particular narrative of the treatment of
| Cspt. Rosa, of the brig Kaoree, by Chinese pirates*
j a*’d his ultimate release by the interposition oi the
j English steamer Inflexible. This narrative vriil
aa ve to gave some idea of the character of. ihe pop- ,
! ulatkro w inch infests the aea coast of China:
The Ktidree. with a cargo of bark, tin, lead. Sec ,
| nnd 98,000 in specie, left Macao for Amoy, in t*fc> - ;
ot three Chinese pilots, who contrived,"'either bv
i accident or design, the latter being strongly f u -
pected, to run her aground neir Breaker’s Poiist,
near Swatx*w, whence she drifted ur.en the beseh, !
end was immediate y i arroknd-d by a great nmi/ ]
her cf from the sh jfe. The Chritiar part ;
of the brig”** crew succeeded in getting tho t e au*e i
into a boat, and proceeded with ii towards Swatow. ‘
The boat was shortly siuroun ed 1-y a great num
ber -of other boats, and fore “-d to vards the ehore,
but it flocoeeded in making it? eeoape. Capt. Rose,
however, wnewas weak from the effects of a fever,
was seized by tbe pirates from the stem of the boat
where he was seated, and carried on shore. Tte
crew of the brig succeeded in reaching Swatow,
when they made known the seizure of ihe captain,
and the intelligence wa- made known at Hr rg
Kong, whence the Inflexible, Capt. Breoker, was
immediately chepatebe-i to take measures for h‘s re- j
lease. The following is from the account giveu
of Capt Rose's treatment durittg his imprisonment:
“The first bueiness of the eaptore before drag
ging Captain Rose through t e eurf, was to strip
hiojof everything he had on, and then to march
bftb, naked as he was born to a village some three
miles inland, where he was forced info an out house
among some straw About four o’efock in the af
ternoon of the same day. Caplaiu Rose saw twenty
dollars paid down for him, aud be was then dtiveu
out like a wiid animal, and beaten over his swollen
fogs with bamboos till the blood gn.-hed from them.
He was then made to go to a ferry, where a boat
was found laden with thirty fotbomaof the ship’s
cable*, with which they proceeded up a lake some
live or six miles, lauding at sundown—Capt. Rn S
being then shown into a hove* and made to He on
the bare floor, still naked, with a bundle of straw
for a pillow, and an old m eqti!to curtain for a Pa
tempo. The next dny, the 27 ... on they went again
overland a short distance, until Capt Rose’s legs
could carry him no fuither, and then a chair was
procured, with which they proceeded in a due west
oily direction to a village, where our unfortunate
countryman was again sold for fifty dollars.
On the 30th of October, five days only after the
wreck, Capt. Rose w as greatly surprised in receiv
ing a letter from Mr. Morrison, chief mate ot tne re
ceiving brig Auonyma, at Swatow, dated the 29th,
asking him how he was. In reply, Captain Rote
said he wa? kindly enough treated, md urged of
course, as early assistance as possible. This day,
too, he was fortunate in obtaining ihe good will of
an old woman, who gave him a pair of trowters to
put ou, aud another dressed the wounds on Lis
legs, the females throughout the detention exhibit
mg a kindness in marked contrast to that of their
brutal lords.”
A negotiation was then opened for C pt. Rose's
ransom before it was known that there would be
any inteforence by the British authorities for lus re
lief. Two or three messages passed between him
and person* at Swatow, with propojitions, in the
course of which, the demand for hi* ransom was in
creased to $250, but without auy movement on the
part of his keepers tor setting “him at liberty. At
length, ou the 7th of November, when a Chinaman
named Sun-keet, undertook to surrender him for
the sum above named, and
“After a good deal of chaffering and noise, a
chair was brought, and in it Capt. Rose proceeded
oua return eastward—pa-siog, gorog and coming,
no less than three walled towns, one of them Ton
goo, and some dozen large villages—care being ta
ken, however t* keep the raree-show of an Eng
lish face from official aud general gaze It took
them a day to reach the village of Uea lien, Sun
keet’B dwelling place.”
There Capt Rose was kept until the 16th, when
he received a letter from Capt. Brooker,at Swatow,
announcing that measures were in train for his re
lease.
He w r as still destined to remain in painful sus
pense for five day 3 longer, when Le was aroused
from a nap, to find the house in which was in pos
session of “a score of British marines nnd blue jack
ets,” The rest of the story ie thus told:
“Not a moment wa3 lost iu preparing fur a re
turn to the ship, anchored some nine miles off—Capt.
Rose’s toilet being soon completed—a thick {coat
from his last owner, together with the trowsers be
fore told of, being his sole wardrobe.
“Aud here we must pause in the narrative to give
expression to ou* sense of admiration of the very
judicious and gallant manner in which Commander
Brooker effected Mr. Rose’s relief. Finding from
the reply that the holders were still disposed to pro
varicate, with a view of getting more money, he. .t
once, with the concurrence, of course, of CHptain
Sullivan, of the Anonyma, whose aid, as Well a >
that of Mr. Morrison, his chief mate, cannot be too
highly ppoken of,seized on Mr. Ahi, the go-between
and told him that, without more ado, hi.i life should
nay the forfeit unies he led the way to the prison
house.
“Forthwith the anchor was weighed, and a day
spent in searching for tho bay—some three miie i
from whose beach Hon loin was said to be. At
last it was found, and early on Friday, taking the
cufter, pinnace and gig fully manned, Capt. Brook*
er landed with his frightened guide at i* point, nine
miles, it w&3 found, from the object oi* their dedre.
Such was the celerity of their march ihat every one
iu the village was taken by surprise. How neces
sary such celerity was to success, our renders will
as readily perceive as we can indicate. To exhibit
its value, we quote Capt. Rose's words to us when
telling the story ‘To march that distance from
any support, knowing, a* I do, the thousands, infix
riated Chinese who would have been summoned a:
the mere blowing cf a cone shell, was the pluck ieft
thing in Capt. Brooker, Lieut. Allison, Dr. Mu
grath,and the twenty men 1 ever heard ot.’
“The Inflexible was eafely reached about turn
down , eighteen hours affrr she was at am-hoy in
Hong Kong. Once on board the Inflexible, the
welcome and kind treatment accorded to Captain
Rose may be conceived lie says he cannot de
scribe them. A subscription has beau opened,
headed by Sir John Browning with S2O, to purchase
a sut s os plolhes and nautical kistruments for Cant.
Rose.”

sß# J iK, which in effect form*a part of that so token
from us and fiom others, which was applied to tbe
procuring ot tlfo passage ct the last tariff; that
panacea which was to cure all cur evils. Is that
application of money such as to commend ii to our
approval, or tc that of the public? It la true that,
we know not with Certainty where it went, or how
it was applied, if we except some SB,OOO, which was
spent for publications, newspaper articles, and the
like Os ihe balance we know that it has gone,ami
tee tenon one person by tr/tom if wns (fish m- and. We
kuow that there were at one time certain memoran
da iu tbfc possession of our agent* which would, it is
supposed, explain in f art this mystery, but they
have disappeared. While wa have figures for mat
tors which do not ap[>ear objectionable—the diffu
sion of light, ot information and arguments—there
i3 a careful omission of anything which would show
what became of tbe balance of tbe money. This
give® rise to disagreeable suspicions that it must
have gone for purposes which would not bear ex
posure, anl which needed to bo hidden and con
cealed. Was it employed in co.-t iy entertainments
at Washington, given to those supposed to be able
to influence legielation there ? Wa? it expended in
the employment of a corps of lobby members—
hangers ou to the ekirte of members of Congress, to
worry them iuto giving vote? in favor of suc'i mea

Wc only know that one Os the firm—Mr. Stone

grew into the passage of a tariff which would prove
less onerous and more advantageous to tlm woolen

told tlmt, if he hoped for euccc*s, it would be neces
sary for him to adopt quite another course of meas
ures. and to be fo?p scupulous than ho was in the use
of the means at hie disposal; that letters were writ
ten home, saying that some other agent—one of a
more pliable temper—mm tbe employed ; and that
in consequence thereof he was withdrawn, and an
other member of the firm wa* sent on to represent
them, andwbeae he supposed, paid out, and dis
bursed or controlled the application of the rest of
the money. So cur money went wi bout our knowl
edge or consent. We have no accounts of it, and
are not able to tell how much of it was ours and
bow much belonged to others. We are not assured
that i r even did go for tus tariff It iw hinted that
it did not. There is darkness about it that we can
not penetrate. Periiaps it maybe better 4 hat we
should nut. There might be brought to light mat -
tors which it would be di ’- igfeeable to some people
to have exposed. We are told that what was done,
whs done with good intentions and for our good.

satisfaction of contemplating that, had wo l ot been

took fire after the explosion, but it was
pat tially subdued, and no ere appro) ended any

the explo.dpn. After the confusion produced by the
explosion had poirowUat subsided, and the
of the injured being di-es.sed, tiae alarm Os fire was
again given. A portion of the crew and some deck
j.asseeugero immediately took possession of cne pf
tue life-boats and the yawl and shoved off. The
life boat liau but fourporsons in it, but the yawl was
well filed. The remaiiiUg life boat, under the di

persona -ashore. By this time the boat had drift

of a bar ou the Kentucky side, and Soa ly lodged on
the point of a bar. a iiltle below Madrid, about one
mile below Urn place where she took tire. The pas
seiigere either pul on life-preservers-—with which
the boat was well supplied— ol got hold or some
thing that they thought would hold them up, and
then jumped into the liver. Fortunately a pile of

every human efiort to save life. A tlatboat used as
a tiji-sh( p by Messrs Johnson *.V, Avery, was taken
out into-the stream and picked up quite a number,
three women And a child among the number. The
owners of'two other trading fe . v ta, Messrs, jtoyu
Gokfenberg and A|epws Levi South, rendered
good service Aa the water was very‘cold, many
taken out in an insensible condition and re
quired piompt measures* and attentive nursfrg to
restore them. Nothing whs Me undone by the

render those unfortunate people comfort able. They
were kindly entertained until enabled to g-t away,
and these Whoiiad lost their clot hi;g we eabundant -

time, ©very sou! abifid have been saved except, the
bar*kee{jer and a few’ others, who were mortally
wounded by the explosion. The explosion made i i
opening up through the cabin near th<* bar, and
through the deck into the hold near the fire doors.
The bar-keeper fell through with bo:h legs bfbken
or badly injured. The tire tell into the hold and
lodged on come bales of willow that were immediate

was where the lire originated.
Many interesting incidents, happened ; while the

The Chinese Passion for Opium.
j Yet there never was found, in auy age or in any
j clime, a tribe, a iacc, or a nation, which hud not
I some stimulant in which they habitually indu’ged.
i Mrs. Cninamtifi takes her mundungus; her husband
j varies ihe same pleasure with an occasional whiff of
* the stronger narcotic. 1 wish lie would drink beer,
i or whiskey, or gin. brandy, for they are
‘ a “ recogmzed means of intoxication, and British
i manufactures. But he steadfastly refuses— Que
! rou lez vous ? It est fail ccmme c p la. A Chinaman
; loves opium a* he loves nothing else. The head of
j a Parsec- house at Hong Kong was so civil as to take
• me into his warehouse and to open two chests ol
opium, that I might see the drug as it passes ir
| commerce. The first consisted of balls, the size of
I a large apple dumpling, and when cut open the
I mass was found to be so l id; the other was full of
| objects which a commander in the navy not long
since ordered his men to return to the owners of a
captures junk. “ Ain't you ashamed, my lads, to
loot a lot of miserable Dutch cheeses ” The “ Dutch
cheeses were fine Patna opium worth about Jt*f>
ea h. I'iiey are glebes cf thick dark jelly enclosed
in a crust, not uulike the rind of a cheese. My Par
see acquaintance tapped oue with a fragment of an
iron fastening of h chest, and drew forth about a
spoonful of the evil smelling mug. It was not the
Opium which engaged my attention ; it was the es
feet produced by it upon the surrounding coolies
1 never before saw* real excitement in a Chinaman’s
tace. I’ve seen them tried for the*r lives and con
demfied to death, and I’ve seen them test the long
suffering patience of Mr. Tudor Davies in the Hong
Kong police court where that gentleman is daily
i engaged in laborious endeavors to extract truth out
| of conflicting lies. I’ve seen them laugh heartily at
an obscene gesture at a singsong, and I once saw a
witness grin with great, delight as lie unexpectedly
recognized his most intimate friend, a tradesman ot
reputed wealth, among a crowd of prisoners m the
dock. But these coolies, when they saw that opium
opened their horizontal, slit shaped eyes, till they
grew round and start ug, their limbs, so lax and
limpid when not in actual strain of labor, were stiff’
from excitement, every head was pressed forward,
every hand seemed ready to clutch. There was a
possibility that it would be put down upou tbe win
dow sill near which we were standing. 1 could see
the shadow of fingers ready to slide in. Ir was al
most certain that it would be thrown aside—there
was the grand hope of an opium debauch gratis, and
this was the state of mind that hope created. The
Chinese governments have long ceased to strive
against this passion for opium. I doubt whether
rjiey ever really did strive against it. At one time,
when the balance of the trade was against China,
the opium was drawing tbe Sycee silver out of the
country, and Lin thought it absolutely necessary, ae
a matter of State policy, to stop the traffic. A Chi
nese official is the Joseph Surface of diplomacy; be
his deeds good or evil, they .are certain to be con
cealed under a mass of tine sentiments.
An Opium Den at Ningpo.—At Ningpo I accep
ted an invitation from the Rev. Mr. RutseU, the
Church ot Englaud missionary priest, and the Rev.
Mr Edkin%of the London Mission at Shanghai, to
visit, the opium dens of Ningpo city. Commander
Dew, of the Nimrod, accompanied us. I had seen
the opium-eaters of Constantinople nnd Smyrna,
aud the hasiiirii-Binokers ol Constantinople, and 1
wa* prepared for emaciated forms and trembling
limbs. I recollected buying a taboos)) in the ba
zaars of Smyrna from a young Moslem whose pal
sid hand and dotard head could not count the coins
1 offered him. I recollect the hashish-smokers of
Constantine, who were to be seen and heard
every afternoon at the bottom of that abyss which
yawns under the ‘‘Audultres’s Rock’’—lean, flesh
less Arabs, smoking their little pipes of hemp-seed,
chanting and swaying their skeleton forms to and
fro, ahreaking to the wild echoes of the chasm, then
sinking exhausted under the huge cactus—sights
and sounds of saturnalia in purgatory. The Chinese
exhibition was sufficiently disgusting, but wa? oth
erwise quite a failure. These opium dens are ordi
nary Chinese cot with a room about twelve
feet square, furnished with a bed, a table, and a
sofa, in the first we entered three men sat upon the
bed aud two upon the eofa. There wa3 the opium
pipe, the lamp, and the small porcelain cup of
{reace-looking opium. One of the customers takes
ihe pipe and the lamp, then dips r pin into the
opium, turns it round and around till he lias the pro
per quantity of the jellified drug, inserts the pin in
the pipe, applies the pipe to the flames of the lamp,
and al the same time draws up the vapour by two
or three long inhalations, not whiffs, for he draws it
into hi? lungs; then he passes on the pipe, the
opium being consumed, aud gradually lets the va
por slowly return throu, h his mouth and his nose.
Tbe members of this convivial society were good
humored and communicative. Oe was a chair
coolie, a second was a pretty tradesman, a third
was a runner in a mandarin’a yamun; they were
all of that class of UrbaiJ population which is juet
above tho lowest. They were, however, neither
emaciate a nor infirm Tbe chair coolie was a stur-
dy fellow, well capable of taking hie sh ire in the
porterage o’ a Ifi stone mandarin, the runner room
ed well able to run, and the tradesman, w ho said he
was 38 old—say 37, for the Chinese commence
to count their ge nine months earlier than we do—
w'as remembered by all of us to be a singularly
young looking mans r that age. lie had srtioked
opium for seven years. As we passed from the
opium dens we went, into a Chinese tea garden—a
dirty paved court with some small trees and flowers
iu flowerpots, aud a very emaciated and yawning
proprietor presented himself “The man has des
troyed by opium smoking,” said Mr. Russell.
The man being questioned declared that he had
never smoked an opium pipe in hie life, —a bad shot,
at which no one was more amused than the Rev.
gentleman who fired it. I only take the experiment
for whatit was worth. There must be very many
meet lamentable specimens of the effects or indul
gence in this viciens practice, although we did not
happen to sfte any of them that morning. They are
not, however, so universal, nor even so common, as
travelers who write in support of some thesis, or
who are not above t uckling to popular prejudices
in England, are pleased to say they are. flu 1 if our
visit was a failure ig one respeot; it was hilly in
structive in another. In the first house We visited
no man spent on an average less than 80 cash a day
on his opium pipe. One man arid he spent 12b.
The chair coolie spends 80, aud his average earn
ings ure 100 cash a day. English physicians, un
connected with tbe missionary societies, have a3-
surred me that the coolie opium smoker dies, not
from opium, but from qtarvatiofiV If he starves him
sqlf"forhis pipe we need net ask what happens to
his family.
Later from New Mexico —By the way of St.
Louis we have advices from ISauta Fc, New Mexi
co, to 1 lie 2d uit., three we-ks later. The Gazette
ot that date rec- rds intelligence that the Tabamu
atche and Muotche Utah Indians are giviDg uninis
taka bis s'gns of hostility, and openly declare tifeiv
omoity to both Mexicans and Americans
They bhv that the vatfr is worth all
the other states,’ 4 as he gives them kegs of pow
der aud boxes of guns, and that he could whip the
whole world. There is no doubt that Brigham
Young is inciting those Indians to hostility against
our Government, and tlmfc they are iikely to bo
troublesome. From the Conejos to the Mormon
setticiaents it is but a few days’ travel, and the Ta
bamuatchos use as much in Utah as Now Mexico.
The inhabitants in the Conejos apprehend danger
from those Indians so soon as the snow disappears
and the grass begins to grow.
The difficulties between the Navajo and Utah In
dians are. now in a lair v. ay to be adjusted. Both
arp anxious for pegoe, agd Col. Uariey, tho agent
for the Nnvajos, and Mr. Are irolota, agent fora por
tion of the Ufahs, were laboring assidiously to se
cure it. Tne agents were to meet at Santa Fe in a
few days, to lake the matter formally into eonrid
©ration.
During the week ending with Ihe 2d ult. (ho an
aui-,y goods, e,,nsl:ipg principally of agricultural
implement y, were issued to the Fueblu Indians.—
‘The Gazette says;
Soffar, those who hav.- received their quotas,
Beams very much pleased, and leave the agency
gratified and thankful. One of the Pueblos re
fused to accept their proportion, stating that some
Mexicans had informed them it was only a trick of
Ihe Government to got their lands, b> bringing here

Their agent endeavored to remove t ilia evroneor,?
jtpprgS: pro, bul not wiib positive success. They ex
pressed their gratification at the offer, and their
williugle.,l to be commanded by tbeir agent in all
other business matters.
There are tweniy towns of these Indians, with an
aggregate population of 8000 souls, immediately
within the San'e Fe agency. The Gazette describes
them as eemi-civilizedpeopie, and some of them
can read and write. They ere generally ‘iUieC in

an a.kaliue solution of flint, prepared ia a manner
peculiar to the inventor. These ingredients are all
well worked together until the mixture nas a putty

to any form. Th ? moulds employed are 01 plaster

Financin)—Note from Mr. Peabody.
Lon non, Thursday, Jan. 21,1858.
To tfie Editor of the N. Y. ‘Times:
In r> Times, dated late iu December, you state as
follows :
. “Wo are informed on authority w’hoa: v accuracy
we have every reason to credit, that the amount
of bills which the house of Peabody Sl Cos. was on
der acceptance for when assistance was obtained
from the Bank of England, exceeded the almost in
conceivable sum of six millions sterling ’’
With few exceptions I have observed, with much
pleasure, that the course my house pursed under
the pecuniary pressure brought upon them by the
; and the iimbilily of
American friends to fulfill engagements, has Been 1
much commended by the American press, and more !
sympathy than blame has awarded to myself i
>tml partners lor promptly adopting a course which
not only protected our own credit, but saved many
of our correspondents in the United States from con
sequences that would have been considered a ca
lamity throughout tbe while country.
The respectability of your journal and the high
credit yon give to your informer in the article quo
ted, is calculated to do great injury to my house
and to American credit generally, for if the accep
tances of my firm h&d amounted to six millions ster
ling, as you state, it would have been but just to
place it in ihe same rank with the Borough Bank
of Lteerpcol, and Great Western of Scotland, and
myself and partners pronounced as unworthy ot
confidence for the future. The facts are as follows :
About the 20th Navember, when the money panic
in the United States and Europe was raging, aud
anticipated commercial difficulties were still more
appalling, my house considered it wise and prudent
t o adopt a course which would effectually protect
i‘s own credit save many correspondents, who were
unable te meet, engagements by remittance, from
inconvenience aud loss. The acceptances of my
house at I hat time were £2,300,000 (not £6,000.-
000,) aid our application to the bank was for a
loan, on good securities, for £BOO,OOO. should so
much be required. The application was acceded
to, and within a few weeks after we took £300,000,
depositing securities of our own for the same. Up
to this time we have taken no more than the £300,-
bOO, although the securities deposited amount to
>uch a large sum. and since that time xnv house has
paid more than £ 1,500,000 of the £2,300,000 ac
ceptances out, as stated, at Ihe time ot its applica
tion to the banks. We will further remark that the
strength of our principal correspondent is such that
our losses on the acceptances above stated, given
on their account, will, comparatively, be but tri
fling.
In justice to my house, and to American credit
generally, 1 think the facts named should be known
to tbe American public, and they are at your ser
vice for that purpose.
Very respectfully and truly. Arc.,
George Pea boot.
A Nine Days’ Battle between Cannibals
How they Coole and Fat their Funnies. —The
Honolulu Advertiser of a late date says :
Hanaveve Valley, which lies opposite the bay,
does not resent-le our Hawaiian valleys It. is not
a gentle slope between two hills, but a ravine with
steep sides, apparently split out from the moun
tains. It is, however, oue of the largest, most be- u
• iful and productive of the many glens of Fatuhiva.
This valley has recently been the scene of a pro
tracted war between the neighboring tribes. One
of those contests lasted nine days, at the close of
which the bodies of the captured dead were eaten.
This cannibal custom prevails throughout this
group.
They do not have a great feast over these human
bodies, ns i? generally supposed to be the case, but
the body is cut to pieces on the battlefield, and
each warrior lakes his piece—an arm, a joint, a rib,
a cording to his merit—raises it on his gun over his
shoulder, and marches home. There he calls his re
tell ms together, and they devour the flesh—some
cooking ir in slices like pork, but most eat it raw.
The motive which induces them to eat the bodies of
their enemies is revenge; they feel that their re
venge is not satisfied until they have tasted of their
btood aud flesh. When their hatred, anger and re
venge are at the highest point, and their enemy
lies dead before them, then it culminates in the
fiendish act of eating human flesh, and we may
easily imagine that ric quivering heart that cringes
and grates between their bloody teeth,is the sweet
esi uiorsel-fbat a heathen warrior can taste. This
cannibalism is confined mostly to the older natives.
Tin younger people appear to be ashamed of the
practice, and ii is probable tl.ut before many years
if wi 1 be extinct among the Marquesas.
This famous battle of Hanaveve, K keta tells us,
lasted nine days. It consisted rather of skirmish
ing, though ehota enough were tired to have killed a
regiment, it is quite likely that these simple war
riors did their firing with eyes shut, as during the eu
tii e contest out one or two persons were killed. The
heathen party in this terrible scare entered into a
compact with their conquerors, in which hostages
were exchang ‘d, but those of the vanquished ran
away, (from fear of being devoured, perhaps, j and
returned to their tribe, who immediately, in the
most secret manner, took “ bag and baggage” from
the sod of their ancestors, ar.d made a hasty retreat
to the Island of Tahuaka. The victors having
gained more than they anticipated, but just what
they desired, took possession and divided the spoil.
This contest was no ancient feud. There were but
two points of approach to the valley, one by the
mountain pass and one by sea. Never before had
the enemy beeu able to force this narrow passage
—a fastness of nature. They had beeu forced to
steal through a:i aperture worn by the waves
through the northern point of the island, from
v> hence they discharged their upon their
i Demies and retreated. It is now said that the ex
Uvs are home sick, that they desire to return, aud
that there are those of the conquerors who would
welcome them back.
A Hyena Loose in Paulding County.—On
Wednesday morning last, between 3 and 4 o’clock,
ft striped hyena broke loose from his cage iu the
b ii noi Mr. Eli Watson, a few miles west of Fauid
■ng. The beast is the property Mr. Ganung,
(formerly of the firm of Ganung, &, Cos.,
well kuown ciroua and Menagerie proprietors) who
q larters collection of animals during the winter
season at the farm of the above named. The mon
ster was not missed until daylight. Raising a nuine
lous crowd of farmers, Mr. Watson went in search
of him. Knowing the terrible instincts of Ihe ani
mals, the party proceeded to the grave yard about
a mile distant and there found him. He had disin
terred two newly-buried bodies and mostly devour
ed them. He had also partly dug i*p, other graves.
To capture the monster aMyt a ins then mfuria
state v, uof course an impossibility. Mr. Wat
son therefore a rifle at bun, bu did not, hit
him. The monster sprang in among the men, pounc
ed upon a German named Paffeaburg, killing him
almost instantly. A boy and two men in the crowd
were also knocked over and considerably though
not dangerously injured The German was rhe on
ly person killed The hyena made for the woods.—
I’ was reported that he killed a man on his way
thither, but the report • is not autlienticat ad. A
large force was immediately raised, and the animal
was pursued, but at lao; aoeeunts had not been
found. The hyena formerly belonged to Van Am
burg iV Go., and is said to bo the largest one of his
species in America, lie had, w are informed, been
rated in a cage and had always been considered as
tame and peaceable as animals of his kind can be
rendered. His escape, foariui work, and his pur
suit have, \ye need hardly add, created grea excite

Marshall Radetzky Selling his Body to a
Creditor.— German pauor* state that the veteran
Radetzky, who ii ocquos vyaa constantly in debt,
sold his body, some time previous to his death, to
OU6 ol his creditors, a linen-draper of Vienna, nam
ed Barkfvieder. It appea.s that Barkfneder, who
had acquired an innr eusa fortune from contracts
/- i furnishing goods to the army in Italy, was desi
rous of obtaining a position among the dignitaries
of tli© Court, and determined, by a master stroke,
to accomplish his elevation from theplebiau ranks.
Radetzky figured largely in the linntu-draper’s
books; the latter offered to cancel the obligations if
th * Field Marshal would plaje fcia body, after death,
at ija disposal, to be buried in his country seat,
near promising, at the sane time, that
the veteran’s grave should be surmounted by a
handsome monument. Radetzky readily assented,
and signed a written agreement to that effi-ct. The
(*:d soldier now slumbers in the grounds of M. Dark
frieder, whose country seat has the Mecca
of princes, dukes, barons, counts aud generals. The
linen drapers cLerae had be n crowned with sue
of the imperial family and tided no

A Candid Mind. —There ri nothing sheds so fine

nit the man of brilliant parts, or flattering tongue,

WHOTESAI.E Poisoning. —The most horrible case
ever heard of has recently c me to light in Alabama
Genesee county, New York. In July, in 1856,
Henry Hoag, a respectable citizen of that lowu,
died quite suddenly Six weeks thereafter his lit
tie dauglit -r, five or s ! x years old, died after an ill -
ness of twtnty-fcurs Last spring an infant child,
born subsequent to Mr. llong a death, diod after a
short illness List fall another child, two years old,
died under still more suspicious circumstances. A
post mortem examination was had, but the chemist
to whom the child's stomach was sent neglected to
analyze its contents The community, however,
had become satisfied that the death of so many
members ot a family, under such c'rcumstances, re
quired further investigation, and the bodies of all
of them were exhumed, auil the stomachs of the first,
three, and a portion of the duodenum of the last se
cured, ana upon analysis arsenic was found in them
all. Suspicion at once p dated to the wife and moth
era. the person who administered the poison, and
she was arrested and is new in jail al Batavia,
awaiting the action of the grand jury. Since list
husbana's death she has been married again to a
man by the name of Frisch, who lived with her but
a short time—some diffi ulty having arisen between
them. Some years since three others of her child
ren died quite suddenly, with symptoms almost pie
eisc-ly similar to the lust ones, and it is inferred that
she poisoned them nlso, from the fact that she con
feestd that she had poisoned the tiist one, but that
she did it accidentally aud through mistake.
