Lord John Russell has announced himself candidate
for London at recent meeting.
The Emperors of Austria and Russia have drawn up
that Northern Powers will resist the attempt of Louis
Napoleon to found an Imperial dynasty. They have re
cognised the Bourbon as tho sole legitimate dynasty,
and regard Napoleon as a temporary ruler. They do not
object to hla becoming an electlvo Emperor, ir he will ob
serve the existing treaty, keep within the presont terri
torial limits, and explain the political doctrines of bis
government. -This coalition caused great chagrin to the
M. Herkellln who arrived on a mission from Louis Ns-
poloon to the Emperor of Russia, was denied an audience.

Cotton—1,000 bales sold to-day at 8X to 10—previous
prices—tklr 10 cents.
Flax.—At four o’clock yesterday afternoon, Are
was discovered in the house or Mr. Z. Winklxs,
on York between Whitaker and Baroard-slreeta-
The Are waa placed under the sill of the building, with a
quantity of matches and combustible material scattered
osar It. It was extinguished without damage.
Finn Items.—The Firemen’s bill for the Isst month
was 11,257.08. It promises to be still larger the present
month, la consequence or the Ares now occurring almost
dally.
There have been at least a dozen Ares In the dty, In
the last sixty days. The property destroyed cannot bd
less than t400,000—a good round sum to be burnt up by
Incendiaries.
We have never been able to understand why the
Guard House bell should be kept ringing after the alarm
- or Are has been given. If the Are continues one hour or
two hours, tho bell Is rung one hour or two hours. If a
second Are should occur in another part of the town, be
fore the Ant has been extinguished, how would the alarm
lwglvenf
We eqjoy the refrains orthe Firemen when on holiday
parade, and when returning from a Are. Their music Is
excellent; bat the propriety or their singing daring the
progress of a Are is questionable. In such cases, it is
almost Impossible to communicate the orders of the
oncers. An instance of this kind occurred during the
lire Sunday night. There should be as llttlo noise
poeslbleala Are.
In the hurry of removing furniture, some poople will
throw a Ane mirror or bureau ont ofa three-story window,
and then turn round and carefolly take a matrass down
With their handat Prudence wduld suggest the propriety
of keeping as cool as the Are and the nature of the case
will admit. Secure the assistance of a few friends, and
the ftirnltore may be removed more aafely and rapidly
than with the help or a hundred.
We would suggest to our men of enterprise the pro
priety or getting up a Are panorama. Judging from the
multitudes who crowd about Ares and get in the way or
tho firemen, wo think It would “draw welL w If no one
feels disposed to embark in inch an undertaking, we then
call upou Council for an Increase or the number of Are
engines; so that, while one-half or the engines Is playing
upon the burning buildings, the other half may play upon
the gaping crowd and keep them out of the way.
8atx or Steamboats.—The steamboats H. L. Cook
and Oregon, with four Lighten, belonging to the Union
Steamboat Company, were sold at auction yesterday for
(11,000. Hxaar Haarxa fcCo n were the purchasers.
Cy The attention of the. reader is directed to the
communication, in another column, about certain im
provements la our city. Much that the writer says is
well said, and to the point. We think, however, he has
overlooked tho Improvements at the Depot. The new
> Depot buildings now going up, are all that bo could de
al re, and equal to anything or the kind In the whole
country.
As to the City Exchange, we doubt whether It Is worth
Improving. On the northeastern side, the wall Is crack
ed in several places from the bottom to tho top. A new
building would cost very little more than the repairs of
which the writer speaks.

Tna Advkktdrxs or Joseph Axdrkws and ms Frisxd
Abraham Adams—by Henry Fielding, with Illustra
tions by Cruikabank. New York; Stringer fcTowns-
This Is one of the three novels which have descended
to ns from the pen oC-tbe celebrated Henry Fielduio.
Though written more than a hundred years ago, Joetpk
Andrews continues to be rrad, for the sdmlrablepictures
of manners which ft presents; and, above all, for the Illi
mitable character of Mr. Abraham Adams. His learn,
log, hla simplicity, bis evangelical purity of mind, and
benevolence of disposition, are so admirably mingled
with pedantry, absence of mind, and with the habit of
ntblecticaud gymnastic exercise then acquired at the
universities by students of all description*, that he may
be safely termed one or the richest productions of the
Muse of Action. Like Don Quixote, Parson Adams is
beaten a little too much, and too often; but the cudgel
lights upon his shoulders, as on those of the honored
Knight of La Mancha, without the slightest statu to hla
reputation, and be la bastinadoed without being degraded.
The style of the work is tn imitation of Cervantes ;
but both in Joseph Andrew! and in Tom Jones, Field-
ino’s greatest production, the author appears also to
have bad In view the Human Comipue orthe once cele
brated Scakron. From this authority be bss copied the
mock-heroic style, which tells ludicrous events in the
language of the classical epic.
But good a* Jtttph Andrtwe Is, it is hardly to be com
pared with Tom Jtnu, the best novel by for In the English
language, and consequently the best of the author. Sir
Walter Scott spoke or Fieldino as the “first of Bri
tish novelists” Hs called him “the celebrated Henrt
Fieldimo, the father of tbo English novel;” find added,
that in his “powers of strong and national humour, and
forcible yet natural exhibition of charactor, be is un
approachable, as yet, even by bis successful followers.’’
Though he figured in the first half nr the last century, be
wrote the purest English, in our judgment, to be found
in any book, not even excepting the Spectator. In mod
ern estimation, there are several passages In Tom Jones
at which delicacy may Justly take offence, as In the ori
ginal copies of Shaksfearx’s works; but like the spots
on the sun, they disappear amidst the blaze of genius,
and the brilliant language and Jewelled thoughts, which
•vety where illumine hto pages.

Methodist EriscorAL General Conference.—
This body, which bos been in session at Boston for twen-
ty-eeren days, adjourned on Tueeday to meet at India
napolis, ItxL, In May, 1850. The session was a very har
monious one, and tho hospitalities and courtesies of the
city generously extended to the members. The Traveller
thus sums up the prominent business Iranssctod:
The long contested questions concerning pewed church
es, has been definitely settled, so that It Is now at tho op
tion of a majority of any ana every congregation to de-
f a majority of any and every congregation
tide as to whether the pew system or Uio free seat system
■hall prevail in their respective eburehos, and wbetbor
tho sexes shall sit sport or not. No change has boon
made In the regulations concerning the presiding elder
ship. and the various petitions for the authorization of
lay delegations in the several quarterly and -annual con-
feroicea have met with a negative response. Four new
bishops have been elected, two from *the East and two
from ibfl West, one of whom takes the place of Bishop
Utmllpe, resigned on account of ill health, and another
• of the Isle Bishop Heddlng. The bishops are now seven

National Wlllg Convention.
Our advices from tho Interior load brio believe! that
some twenty or more counties were represented In Con
vention yesterday, to appoint delegates to the Whig Na
tional ConycnUon in Baltimore.
Whatever may have been the precise tenor of tho
resolutions passed yesterday at tho Mllledgevitle meeting,
wc cannot doubt that among them wIU bo found a re-
affirmance of the action of tho Unton Convention of
1850, and also a determination not to support tho nomi
nee or tho Whig National Convention unless that Con
vention shall unequivocally and folly endorse tho Com
promise—fogitivo slave law, and all. It will be recol
lected that tbe delegates ortho Constitutional Union
Party in April last, resolved manftMMfy that they would
not support any candidate for tho Presidency unless so
nominated, and we will not permit ourselves to doubt
that the Union Whigs on yesterday adhered to that deter
mination. /
Our high appreciation of tho administration of Mr.
Fillmore, and our admiration of the patriotic course of
Mr. Webster, are matters well known to our readers—
but, with us, the adoption of the Compromise lu sinceri
ty and truth, Is dearer than any man or any party. Un
less the National Whig Convention shall endorse tho
Compromise In the spirit In which thesamo seems to
hnvo been met by tho National Democracy, tho nominee
need not expect the vote of Georgia—even If ho shall
prove to be one of the distinguished statesmen to whom
wohavereforred.
We take occasion again to say, that we rtjolco that the
late Democratic convention at Baltimore sustained the
Compromise, and we shall be doubly glad to know that
it did ao without hesitation and with uuanlmlty. What
Infinence the Constitutional Union men or Georgia, both
In our Bute and at Baltimore, had In producing that re
sult, will not be forgotten by tho peoplo or this State—
more especially will It bo recollected by the Mountain
Union Democracy. For the present, It Is enough to say,
that the action of the Union men of Georgia has been
recognized to its fullest extent by one of the great Nation
al parties.
It remains to be seen what tbe Whig convention will do.
We have not felled to express our fears of the sound
ness or the Northern Whig party, on tho great subject
which so vitally concerns the South. Wo still fear that
It Is not sound enough to follow the good examplo or tho
Demrocracy In this particular. If; contrary to our ex
pectation, the National Whig convention shall come up
to the mark or the Union men of Georgia, then will tho
Constitutional Union Party or Georgia hare accomplished
what no other party has been able to accomplish. It
will have given peace to tho Union, and stability to
Southern rights and property. In vain will the late
Southern rights party of Georgia, claim the action of tho
Baltimore convention as the fruit of U*fr efforts or of
their policy. They went against the Compromise In
Georgia, and blinked the question when they sent dele
gates to Baltimore, though It seems that they new are
Compromise men.
We now await the action of the National Whig Conven
tion, and then the assembling of the contemplated Conven
tion of tbo Constitutional Union party of Georgia, to con
sider tbe Presidential question. The action of this latter
body ts foreshadowed. If tbe Whigs place themselves
In as good position on tbe Compromise as the Demo
crats have done, the great work of the Constitutional
party will have been done. The party can dissolve with
feelings of pride and gratitude, and leave Us constituent
parts to go where old affinities or present judgment may
load. Otherwise, the Union party will, we cannot donbt,
resolve to cast their vote for the nominees# of tbo De
mocracy. Georgia wiU, in that event, be a unit on
the Compromise, but her patriotic sons will never ccaso
to remember the men and the party who have brought
these mighty things to pass.
Let the Whig Convention be warned In tlmot
Resignation or Judoe Bxeeien.—The following pro
ceedings took place in tho U. 8. Seoate upon tbe resig
nation of Judge Bexrien. Mr. Kuo, the President of
tho Senate said:
Tho Chair has received from an honorable Senator
from Georgia, John McPherson Berrien, n stalement that
he baa resigned his scat In the Senate or llie United States.
Tbe Chair will take occasion to say, that, having long
served with that honorable Senator, It b with deep regret
that he finds himself under the necessity of presenting this
communication. That 8enator had always shown hlmseir
upon thb floor to bo a gentleman of uniform courtesy.
Ills ability all can appreciate for his services here. Ills
usefulness to tho country, the country will appreciate; and
his resignation will be deeply regretted.
The fetter of resignation was read, as follows:
Washington, May 28,1852.
Sir :—Be pleased to accept this os tho resignation of my
seat in tbs Senate of the United States. Having already
notified tho Governor of Georgia of my intention to retire

with a body with which 1 have been so long associated, to
express to its members my respectful good wishes for
their Individual prosperity and happiness; and to sub-

To the Hon. William 1L Kino,
President pro tern. Senate of the Untied Slates.
Mr. Butler. As tbe subject Is up, perhaps I should
announce that a vacancy on tho Judiciary Committee is
caused by the resignation of the Senator from Georgia. 1
desire to ask that a member may bo appointed to fill tho
place of that gentleman. In doing so, 1 take occasion to
say that ho has been a most valuable member upon that
committee. He waa my counsellor t and upon all impor
tant questions, particularly those of a constitutional char
acter, I resorted to Judge Berrien with more confidence
— 'other *■“ —
perhaps than to any other member associated with roe
others—but because he had been longer on the commit
tee, and waa more familiar with the subjects before IL
And 1 can only announce, while asking that his place
may be filled with another, that 1 very much regret lib
departure. I move that the vacancy be filled by tbe
President of the Senate.

A Serious Mistake.— 1 Tho Houston (Texas) Beacon
■ays a somewhat amusing though rather serious aflhlr
occurred not long since near Spring Creek, In the lower
part of Grimes county. Two young men from Iowa, who
had been peddling about the country, and who had
realized some (300 or (100, were met by n wag who told
them that tho country was Infested by numerous bands of
robbers, and they should be careful how they exposed
their cash. Thb excited their imagination, and shortly
after they met a respectable citizen attired In Texan
hunters’ costume, cap, red flannel shirt, tin horn,rifle, 4cc.

rence Is thus related In the German Gaiettcer— 1 “Rossini,
while in London, was sauntering down Regent-street,
where Bocusa, the Harpist, resided, and passing by a
music store, heard n harp bringing forth burets of mag
nificent harmonies, aa If touched by mnglo fingers; the

on tbe 2Gtb ulL, in the OOUi year of his age. About a
week before hb decease bb gown caught lire, while
sitting alone In bbroom.and before It was extinguished

consequent upon the accident, probably hastened his
death. Dr. Norr bod been settled In the parish more
than wventy years, and was probably tbe oldest pastor
of a parish In New England, or perhaps in tbe United

Something about ,
Editors Repnbliean,>-\ am among those citizens of
Georgia—now < fortunately numerous throughout the
State—who regard with Just pride the many evidences of
publlo spirit and energy which havereoontly been exhib
ited by the citizens of your dty. One has but to know
tho facts of ybur history for the last fow years, to feet that
high respect for Savannah which Judicious forecast and
liberal enterprise always command. BulU baa occurred
to many, that while you have already prepared the pro
gramme of a great dty—by your vast tinea of railway,
your, noble steamships, 4ml,—many of tbe accessions of
greatness are still sadly neglected.
-We hear much now-a-daya about the Empire Stats if
Us South, and occasionally—aa from a speech of ono of
your recent Illustrious guests—of the Queen dtp of Us
5«nU—the seaport or the Empire Btate. Consequently
tho expectations of tbe traveller are considerably excited
as bo approaches It—expectations which generally are
but poorly realised. He sails up the Savannah In one or
your superb steamers, and anchor* opposite the most
prominent object in the dty, which he conceives to be
a tasteless and Illy constructed manufactory—perhaps
some old flouring mill, but is presently informed that this
Is tho principal public building belonging lo the dty,
ydept tho Exchange, On etther side are long ranges of
dingy, antiquated buildings, with loop hole windows, and
gables evldcuUy copied from “Auld Reekie” I n Edinburgh.
These are the haunts of commerce, the offices or your mer-
chant princes! Disembarking he enters one of your huge
“accommodation” omnibuses, and Is with difficulty
dragged up the steep bluti; and nver a ranch used and badly
worn plank road, or sand which threatens momentarily to
swamp the “accommodation.” Occasionally he passes
one of your numerous publlo squares, which although
planted more than a century since, are still unenclosed,
save by a rude plank fonce. In duo time he apitroacheS
the depot or the Central RalLRoad s this Company repre
sents a capital of about three and a half millions, and
should surely occupy roomy and elegant buildings In an
eligible position, but Instead of there ho ts whlriod down
a narrow side street—passing what be innocently sup
poses to bon capacious brick kiln, but which tonally the
freight warehouso—and arriving at tbe passenger station,
which he finds a singularly small and ungraceful edifice
for so wealthy and Important a corporation.
Having thus achieved bis passage through the city,
our friend seats himself in the cars, and probably ven
tures an expression of modest surprise that the queen
dty Is utterly without a paved street! He Is disappoint
ed tn 8avannah; bo foels no disposition to j-omain, or to
return and locale in her limits—Jie arrives at tho conclu
sion that she bos fine natural capabilities for a beautiful
and Imposing dty, but which tn general are sadly neg
lected. Such, I venture, are the feelings of a large ma-
Jority of travellers who pass through your dty. I cun
myself acquainted with several wealthy and enterprising
individuals who are kept from removing to Savannah be
cause of Its antiquated and uninviting appearance. It la
doubtless true that these objectionable details are of
much less Importance to tho prosperity ofyour dty, than
thou Car reaching plans which havo recently engaged the
attention of your citizens; but It has occurred to me, that
a quotation from tbo tips of onr Divine Master might, not
Irreverently, be applied lo your recent history. “There
ought ye to have done, and not to leave tho other un
done.” Let It be recollected Uwt tho second groat city
ofthe world is prindpally sustained by the taste of Its
citizens, and because It offers such Inviting attractions for
a residence in Its Umtt*.
The Improvements now most needed can bo effected nt
comparatively little cost. With a few thousand of brick
and a fow dollars worth of brown point Judiciously ap
plied, the ungraceful ranges of offices on the river front
ofthe dty, might be handsomely orehltecturallsed. Some
improvements are evidently Imperative In tbo exterior of
the Exchange. It looks more uncouth than ever, since
the erection or Us stately and Kell proportioned neighbor,
tbe Custom House. There might be effected at tittle ex
pense, In the following manner: Let the corners of tbe
building bo supplied with ante—erect upon Bay-street
front a handsome Ionic colonnde—surmount the whole
with a properly proportioned entablature, cornice and
balustrade, which may be cointruded upon the present
walls and continued over the colonade upon the South.
There will give loftiness and dignity to the building, and
conceal tho present unsightly roof, the necessity or remov
ing which will be thus obviated. Tbe cupola may be
entirely rebuilt, or Its proportions and members changed
to correspond with tbe proposed architectural Improve
ments. Paint the whole with some neutral color, and
the Exchange will become an ornament to your dty.
Why the Central Roll-Road Company, with Its unusu
ally fine frontage on Liberty-street, permits Its office and
passenger depul to remain In so objectionable a location,
la, 1 presume, beat understood by tbe worthy corporation
itself. It would seem, however, thatthe rapid Increase
of travel and business over the road would not fo
suggest great improvement in this respect
An Immense business is now centering In Savannah,
which is certain to be largely Increased as tho various
lines of railway are extended lo the gulf, the west and
the north west To transact this business for tbe ftiture
upon the feibomless sand which fills your streets, or by
the agency of plank rood*, seems simply absurd. Four
otreet* moot ho paced. 1 am told that this Improvement
has been delayed from a Tear or ondangering the public
health. If this result bos ever followed the paving of a
town, 1 am unaware of It And with yonr unequalled
facilities for sewerage, It is hardly possible that results so
unfortunate can ensue. Let the water which falls upon
your streets be collected upon tho surface, and be con
ducted by drains and sewers to tbe river, Instead of sink
ing Into the sand and carrying with it m largo proportion
of tbe filth or the streets, as it now does—and unless 1 am
much mistaken results, ferorablo to the public health
mutt ensue.
A single glance at tho map will convince any one that
Savannah occupies an almost unequalled position for com
mercial greatness. Take an ordinary map of Ihe United
States; place ono point of a pair of compasses upon
Cairo, which Is uow conceded to bo the ftiluro commer
cial and railroad centra of the West; place the other upon
Savannah, and then move tho latter northward along the
sea coast; put U down opposite Baltimore, and the posi
tion of that oily wiU be something like one hundred
miles from the point. Put U down opposite Philadelphia,
and the distance Is Increased, and New^York and Boston
are still forthcr off. Savannah Is unquestionably nearer
the great West than either oT tho northern cities, both In
distance and becauso her railroads reach tbe West over
much lighter grades than thoso from tho North. Pro
duce accumulating In tho West—the world’s great reposl-
lory of provisions—wiU undoubtedly seek tide-water over
the nearest and cheapest route, lnd that Is through Ten
nessee and Georgia to Savannah.
Again, her position Is more fovorable for a railroad
connexion with the Gulf than that of any other Atlantic
city, and no one doubta but that a connexion will soon bo
made by one of the several routes proposed. Nothing,
then, will prevent Savannah from becoming a great en
trepot of southern commerce but culpable suplunecss on
tbe part of ber citizens, and I am proud, os a Georgian,
to aay, that so far they seem to bo worthy of tbe destiny
which awaits them. Whlle,then, they property take a deep
Interest in those “weightier matters” which more nearly
concern the welfore or their city, It Is to bo hoped they
will pay that attention to those minor but still Important
detalla of taste and effect, which are certain Indexes, not
only of their refinement, but of their prosperity.

Tub Weather and th e Ctor*.—During tbo past week
weliavo had an unusual foil of rain, damaging, wo Tear,
a portion of tbe wbcatthat baa been cut and left In the
Tbe crop, however, we learn, ia most abundant
throughout the county, and of a fine quality. Oats are
also looking remarkably well. The scarcity or other
provender Induced our farmers to put In an unusual crop
of thla grain, and present prospects Indicate thatthe bar-
veetwlll be the heaviest ever known In the county.—
Colton Is fair, and corn was never looking better and
more promising. With reasonable seasons, there is noth
ing to prevent a large surplus or all the grains usually
cultivated by our planters, and Importations from Ten
nessee and Upper Georgia are bound to cense at an early
day. We can only say to our neighbors In those quarters
upon whom Providence has smiled more bountifully for

while they can, for llie day or our Independence Is close

time, lo look to them, whllo tbe heavy crop of
oats will cut os; almost entirely, our Importation of corn

Women’s Rights Convention.
_ Westchester, Pa* June 3.
The convention met at 0 o’clock. Tho business com
mittee reported for consideration or the convention a se
ries of resolutions, congratulating the world on the ad
vance made in the doctrines held by the convention; de.
njrlng Uio right or Legislatures to endow institutions
whose ndvantages women were precluded from enjoy
ing; asking for aa alteration of the law*, whereby the
wife rosy Inherit the estate of her husband- m be Inherits
here, and be regarded as the guardian of her children,
and demanding that remuneration for equal service* may
be the Mine to womens* men.
The consideration or these resolutions wm postponed
for the present, to hoar a fetter rend from Mary Mott, or
Indiana, and to allow Ann Preston to give an exposition
of the views of the convention.
Tbo addresses set forth that women demand an equality
before the law; that tbe property of the husband should
descend to the wife, as bla only heir; that women should
be permitted to hold offices of trust and profit, and so
trained to unfold her nature that every pain should
be regarded as ber appropriate sphere, wherever duty
pointed.
These vlewswere ably maintained by Mrs. Nichols, Mrs.
Gsge, Mrs. Rose, Lucretla Mott, and adopted as the senti
ment* or tbo convention.
Mrs. Nichols maintained thatthe slow advancement of
all reforms heretofore, wm owing to the want of women’s
personal cooperation, and predicted that In less than ten
years women would be free.
A committee wm appointed to advnnee tbe legal
and political rights of women, by preparing and cir
culating petitions, and acting In such other way as might
be necessary.
After appointing a committee on publication, tbe con-
venllou adjourned at 5 o’clock sine die.

The three days* later wows from Europe, received by
Uio Asia this morning, Is of little Importance politically—
commercially, It la unfavorable, Inasmuch Is Cotton and
Breadstnlfe were tending downwards tn tho IJverpoot

markets, ami Cotton Is fblty down sinco last
Saturday, Breadstuff* have also met with a decline—
say 0)<e. per barrel on standard brands of Flour, and a
■light falling off tn Wheat and Indian Corn.

Particular! or the Mexican Outrago on tho Rio
Gnuxlei
The Mexlmn people, If not tho government, seem do-
termlned toprovuko a difficulty with thb country. By
on Arrival at Now-Orieans tho 1st InsL, from the Brazos
Santiago, lli< Plcapuue has advices from Browntvillo to
the 2Gih ulL,or the ihosi exciting charactor.
The Browravllfe Flog of the 15lh ult. states that on the
evening of tie 10th ulL a gong of about forty men, con
sisting or Mexicans and Indians, attacked a party of
■oven Americans, who were encamped at a Jake callod
Campncuns; five or those at the camp are said to have
been murdered, and all their property taken Into Mexi
co. Two of tbe men, fortunately, were on tho margin of
tho take shooting ducks at the time, and succeeded In
muklng their escape. Thoso robbers nud murderers are
■aid to havo crossed the river some forty miles, above
Brownsville, on Friday, the 7lh ulL, and a detachment of
thorn openly recrossed It again soon after perpetrating
tho munlsr, bearing with them the right hand of each of
Uidr slaughtered victims, while tbe remainder or tho
savages coolly encamped on the ground where the mas
sacre occurred, expecting no doubt another resit or
blood from those tboy deemed absent from the camp,
and would probably return unsuspicious or danger.
The population of the neighborhood wm not only too
sparse for resistance, but afraid to venture out to bury
tho dead, after tho murderers were gone. Tbe Flog con
tains a. taller from Warren Adams, which Mysthatlt
b understood that these Mexicans and Indians were In
structed by Ihe authorities in Mexico to kill and plunder
all American citizens near Ihe frontier, and that acting,
m they did,under tbe instructions or the aforesaid au
thorities, they mutilated the bodies or tho murdered
men, taking the right hand or each to testily that thoy
were entitled to tbo reward of thirty or forty dollars of
fered by Mexico for each American tbey murder on tho
frontier.
The Bis Bruno of the 20th rays that the steamer Co
ntends was again Bred Into Inst week t nnd a custom
house officer residing at Rio Grande CHy, Mr. Braiuear,
wm dangerously wounded. Hb little son wm alto
wounded: and a bdy passenger, Mrs. Rooers, the wlfo of
tho murdered man spoken of below, who wm on hor
way up to Join her husband, very narrowly esespoda
similar foto. *
The following cord, published In tho Bio Bravo, gives
tbe partlcubrs of the outrage:
We, the undersigned passengers from Brownsvlllo to
8L Louts, Edinburg, and Rio Grande City, on the steam-
bout called the Comanche, commanded by CapL Richard
King, and plying on tho Uio Grande, to and from the
American towns on said river, cxcluoivelp, do hereby
ntate, that on Monday, May 17,1853, at a point known

shore, white Mid boat wm quietly and

sold, she wm fired lulu from Ihe Mexican shore, while
very near the same, by a party »f Mexicans, (the exact
number not known,) who discharged somo twclvo shots,
two of which took effect on the persons of Mr. W. U.
Brasbear and hla son, A boy or some four years old, and

Mr. Brashear Is a revenue officer, stationed at Rio
Grande Lily, and wm precoedlng up the river, accompa

that place.
Wo further able that there wm no cause or provoca
tion given by any or tho passengers, officers, or crew of
■std boat, to warrant the outrage thus wantonly commit-
tod on a vessel belonging to tho United States, and run
ning upon a river free toboth nations.

On the evening of the 14th Inst., Mr. FhUlp Rogers,
a merchant or Rio Grsttdo Clly, whllo standing behind
Ms counter, wm stabbed lo tho heart and killed by a
Mexican, who had/ ostensibly, como In to pnrclitta
goods. Tito objectof tbe fellow was, no doubt, to rob
the house, m Mr. Rogers wm not known tq havo on ene
my In llio world. Another Moxican wm upon watch out
side of the house, but both succeeded In making their
escape to the ohappara). They were discovered almost in
the act, and one of tho fellows, lu coming out ofthe
houso brushed against a gentleman who, hearing the cry
of Sir. Rogers, hastily run to his assistance. All efforts
lo discover and arrest tho aaaaulns havo so far proved
abortive.
As strange m It may seem abroad, Mys tbe Rio Bravo,
Ibis to tbe tenth murder which Iim token place within the
last three weeks. For the last two months the nverago
has been three killed per week. No man’s llfo U safe
from these Mexican assassins for a single hour. It has
become a grave question, what Is lo bo dono In this
state of Uilngst If It should continue, there will not bo
on American on therivor In six months.
Terrible Traobdy in 8outu Africa.—Many of our
reodera^spccltlly among tbs fevers of music in thfa town,
will remember Mr. Hartnng, who, about twelve yesrs
ago, resided In Blackburn as the bandmaster of the 54th
regiment,and who gave several public concerto In this
town during tho period of hUrealdonce. Ho wm a man
of first rale musical UlenVraoch respected on account of
bis amiable personal quallUe*, and whore departure from
among os wm generally regretted by a largo circle of
acquaintance. We learned a short time since,be em
barked for the Cope of Good Hope, and we are sorry lo
find that ho has there met with a most melancholy fate.
Tlie Graham’s Town Journal ofMarcb 27 contains tho
following heart-rending deblb or his sufferings after hb
capture by the Kaffirs: “Mr. Ifartung. tbe bandmaster or
tlie 74Ui Highlanders,it hM been admitted by the Kaffir
women token prisoners by Colonel Eyre’s column, wm
cut Into pieces with sategtto whilst living, being kept
undor torture for three days, the process of which wm that
of cutting off bis fingers and toes Inch by Inch, at Intervals,
and when, at the dose of tt» third day. tbe wretched man
asked for food, a piece of his own flesh wm cut from hb
body snd given to him, A fow boors afterwards death
terminated hla sufferings.”
. The paragraph then goeson to say l “But this atrocity
hM been exceeded in the case of Sergeant Lange, who
fell In the enemy’s hands on tbe occasion of Colonel
enemy's
Yarborough’s late disastrous petrol, and who wm found
