1-ililnk there is-scarcelyanotlior place on the globe,
In which life la presented In'ao many phases, as Ne*w
York, where there are bo many distinctive marks of
character, and where so much Inequality, for u land
of equojlfy.. exists. There f» more false pride, more
false gentility, and more.assumption of gentility here,
than in hny place 1 have yet .visited, cither in this or
the old Country. The simplicity of republicanism is
oil very-welt to talk about; it is a popular term, like
the much cracked up “liberty” of a Republican Gov-
crnndA'ti; but Where are they to be found? Notin’
New : Yofk,',.oerfhib]y• Broadway, any fine day, will
afford abundant evidence of the ‘simplicity ” and n
specimen .of’‘liberty’ was exhibited here last week,
when freedom of speech was even denied, and row
dyism was permitted to trumple upon the rights of
'citizens...
1 bsvo heard it asserted that thero is no aristocracy
In America; and, ip fact, there probably is not. But
there is something a great deal more offensive—the
base imitation of it. And this is Increasing daily. We
have private carriages emblazoned with heraldic hie
roglyphics, with coachman and footman in showy
livery. Wo have our cabriolets and phaetons, with
smart, dapper little tigers, to stand at the-horsc’s head,
cud wait in obsequious humbleness upon the owners,
and, I have no doubt, that very soon we shall have a
turn out, with a fat coachman, in his White curly wig,
and three cornered hat, and two powdered footmen
standing' behind, as stiff as the sticks they carry in
their hands, if wo cannot be monarchist, we can, at
least, adopt the follies of its creation, and render our
selves^ ridiculous as possible. 1 am daily led into
such refections as these, in my walks through our
fashionable thoroughfare, teeming, as it does, with all
kinds if life, and with every gradation of fortune, and
the truth becomes more deeply impressed upon my
mind, that; in proportion ns we depart from the hon
est simplicity of our forefathers, and slight the insti
tutions tiipy established at such a cosc, we loosen the
tie that binds together this'great Republic, and hasten
its downfall. It Is melancholy to see the youth of the
present day—there is no medium, they are the ex-
t-eme of cvojy thing; they are apparently, too, of one
class, but, of a different stamp only—the rowdies of
low, and , the rowdies of genteel life. The “b’hoy’
pots drunk is-a three cent rum hole—the youag gen
tleman does the same in an elegantly furnished, and
elaborately ornamented refectory—the ono wallows
in the filth of Water-street depravity—the other is
equally depraved, but his champagne and licentious
ness are indulged In those costly temples of sin, that
abound in this metropolis. But 1 cannot?continue this
subject at present, and commence it now. as a sort of
introduction to some scenes of Now York life, which
I intend to sketch for your readers.
I mentioned in a former letter, the embezzlement
and absconding of young Tallmsn, the Custom House
Clerk of Cottraett *. Co. He was discovered in a
village In Ohio, and brought back yesterday, and Is
now in the Tombs. His erabezzehnents, it is said,
exceed 813,000, He intends making a clear, breast of
it, I hear, and show bow that large sum wqa expend
ed, by whose instrumentality, and in whose company.
So somebody must stand from under, for it will fall
hard upon those who are guilty. A more lniquituous
affair can scaroeiy be imagined. His poor mother has
been confined to herbed over sincehor son’s disgrace,
and will, probably, never recover.
A report of the Chief of Police of the City, has
just beetrsmde, from which it appears, that during
five months 34,038 houseless persona were lodged at
the Station Houses; 947 lost-children were returned
to their parents; and 816,320.40 Wore taken from
drunken men,-and lodged at the Station Houses, and
restored to them when sober.
Therehas bdeu no lack of volunteers for the Arctic
Expedition, I am pleased to sny; more than double
the number required were anxious to be enrolled.
The two vessels are taking in their stores at the Navy
Yard, and will sail during the present month.
Anoihef of Collins' line of Steamers, the Pacific, is
nearly completed, and will leave for Liverpool on
Saturday, the 20th. The Arctic leaves In July, and
the Baltic in August Ono half the number of berths
in the Pacific have been already secured; so.you per
ceive, the travelling publio are anxious to patronize
these vessels, in preference even to the Cunard line,
and can they compete with them, the enterprise will
not fail from lack of patronage. The model of the
'Pacific differs somewhat from that of the Atlantic,
.and it is expected that this difference willincrease her
speed.
There appears to be some truth in the “Cuban Ex-
pafetion Story" of the Sun. The fiag of the Cuban
Republic that is to be, is floating from the upper win-
dowa of the building -, with one Urge star in a red
triangle, and -three brood stripes in a white ground.
Beach should be made the first President of Cuba, by
all means, for his ceaseless endeavors in her behalf.
A vegetable convention is now in session in the
city—It is a scientific affair, however, being composed
of practical.farmers, who know “greens;" but who
want to increase their stock of knowledge in that re
spect. The city is very quiet to-day, and even brick
layers' laborers cannot «kick -up a dust," for the
rain comes down too abundantly.
CHABLEMAC.
Destructive Storm on the Coast.—The officers of the
steamer Mary Foley report that on Saturday evening
last, the 11th instant, when in Bayou Lafouche, about
four miles from Oonaldsonville, a severe storm arose,
which carried away both chimneys, pilot-house, and
a considerable portion of her cabin. The steamer
Chalmetto, lying one mile below, was more seriously
damaged thsu the Mary Foley, having lost her «btm-
ueys.on-t her upper works having been made a com
plete wreck of Great damage was done do the neigh
boring plantations; several dwellings and sugar-hous
es were blown down. The officers of theMary Foley
could not uncertain whether or not there were any
fives lost.
inker Particulars.—We learu from a gentleman
iding on tho. coast, in the vicinity of Donaldson-
le, that that section of tho State waa visited, on Sat
rday evening last, by one of the most violent storms
otwmd, hail imdratn, ever experinced in that part
ot Louisiana. The damage done to the plantations
and growing crop, is described as being very great.
* Me corn is apparently all destroyed. Toe cane looks
like fields of grass, the leaves cut off and stroWn about,
or beaten flat into the ground. Several sugar-houses
entire, and hi other places purgeri es andout-buildlr.gs
have been blown down, or seriously injured. Among
the sufferers in this respect, wo nave the names of.
Air. Crist, the Messrs. Gilliert, Dr. Duffil, Mr. n
ffloyal, Mr. Christopher Adams, gnd others. The hail
ieil with great’-violence, and in large lumps. Num
bers of horses,and other rattle have been killed, and
it is said that quantities of frogs, snakes, to., have
been picked up, that had perished in the height of
tho storm.—AT O. Picayune.
Melancholy,—A lad abouMl years old lately hung
' himself in Newbury, under peculiar circumstances.
Ilia name was Amos C. Miller, son of Mr. Richard
Miller. A rope swing was suspended in the wood
shed, and he thought to frighten hi* little brother by
putting tlie rope sitp-noosed round his ueck. and tell-
lug him he would hang himself. The -little boy re
monstrated, and ran into the house- and tukl his moth

his knees nearly touched the,ground, and life wo* ex

manner five mmutes, blit all efforts to restore life

Opening of the Canadian Parliament.—A tele
graphic communication to the Tribune announces the
opening df tho Provincial Parliament at Toronto on
1 uesday. Lord Elgin said that reciprocal trade with
the United States is delayed; that cheap and uniform
r ? te ‘, P° 8tn « c » *bo required; that tho Assembly
should be more numerously constituted than it now is;
that public feeling is becoming more and more oppos
ed to capita] punishment; that the chancery practice
of Canada is improved; that improved assessment and
Jury laws and cheaper courts of justice are required,
&c. He believes ounexation is unpopular in Canada,
and will mark with the royal disapprobation annexa
tionist* holding office, &c.
Notices have been given in tho Assembly of hills to
the following effect:—
To abolish tho law of primogeniture.
To substitute for the Council an elective Senate.
To abolish the Court of Chancery.
To lorbid the proscription of crown lawyers on poli
tical grounds.
To repeal tile usury laws; and
To abolish the endowment of clergy.
Sixty members wore present, twenty-four absent.—
Messrs. Pnpinenu, (L. C.) Lafoutainc, Prince, Perry,
McNab and Merritt were present; Nolson absent.
Completion of the Road—A new impulse will he
giveu to trade and transportation between the Ten
nessee and the seaboard by the completion of the ltond
It must be a matter of congratulation to tho original,
friends and advocates of tno euterprizo for thus open
ing an outlet through Georgia for the products of oth
er States, to sec it demonstrated that the evil results
predicted years ago, have not follownd. It was in
sisted that the produce of Tennessee would drive the
Cherokee farmers from the market. But the actual
result has been, that now, when competlon is opened
there is found room enough for all. The gram of
Gherokee Georgia never commanded a better price
generally, whilst the cheapening of all that the larm-
er has to purchase from abroad, benefits him us nuch
ns if he sold for an advanced price. The full benefits
of the greut work of the State will not however be re
alised tuitil the gap of Macon is filled up The public
interests and the public sentiment will demand that
this break in the communication shall not continue.

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.—The capital of this
company is five millions of dollars. Wo understand
they have recently negotiated with an English house
for 23,000 tons of bar iron, at S.5 10, to be paid in the
company’s bonds, a cheeper price than we nave heard
being paid lately, even in the English market. Fifty-
six sections of this magnificent road, we also learn,
are to be put under contract on 23d of present month.
One hundred and three miles of the route is already
under contract. The work will extend a distance of
211} miles when Breaches the Ohio river. Ifcvcnty
thousand men are to be employed on the work the
present summer. When finished it will afford Bn o-
pen, direct and expeditions highway from the heart
of the fertile West to the cities ou the Atlantic sea
board.—IV. Y. Express.
Philadelphia, May 16.
A murderous outrage was committed last night in
Fifth-street, below Catharine, by Richard Foote upon
the person of Mrs. Ann Walker, an Interesting young
woman, aged 18. Foote had been a suitor for the
hand of Ann. whose maiden namo was Martin, but
she refused to hRVo anything to say to him. He left
tho city and stayed some time at Lebanon, Fa., where
he was employed at a furnace. During his ab
sence, Ann became engaged to James Walker, and
was finally married to him about three weeks since.
Foote returned to the city, and on Tuesday, going to
the house she occupied, he broke open her trunk and
took from it her marriage certificate and some gold
S ieves The certificate he chewed up and swallowed.
ast night he again went to the house and stabbed the
unfortunate woman In eight different places, some of
tho wounds being considered dangerous. Foote tied,
but was early this morning captured by the city po
lice and committed by Major Jones to uwait.the result
of the wounds. .. \
The “Rappinga” uiul the FAtc of Sir
John Franklin.
The Tribune publishes a letter from Scott, Cort.
land Co., N. Y. t where it seems the “spiritual rap.
pings” have appeared, and in which the following ri
diculous story is related. The party is conversing
with the spirit:—
“After oonversing upon various subjects, the con
versation turned upon the fate and whereabouts of
Sir John Franklin, about whom so much interest has
been manifested by all civilized nations; hut whose
fate up tu this timh has been shrouded iu mystery.
The first question asked was, ‘Is he yet living?’ To
which we receive an affirmative answer. ‘Is he where
the Esquimaux reported that they saw him ?—•No.’
Did he find a North West Passage and sail through
Behring’s Strait ?’ ‘Yes.’ The question wua then
asked if the spirit would spell nut the name of the
place where he is at present; and it spelled Yongton,
which we found outby further inquiries was a city
situated 70 miles from Jeddo, on the south western
coast of the Island of Niphon, the largest of the Ja-
panes* group. The spirit revealed that, after expe
riencing almost unpuralleled hardships in finding a
passage, he had gone to the ifiland for the purpose of
trading with the natives; that he was attacked by
them, and, after an ohstonate resiutiuce, in which
8 art of his men were killed,’himself and the remain-
er were taken prisoners, They were placed in close
confinement, where they have been eleven months,
and arc treated with the greatest cruelty and insult’
• The Suicide Case at Springfield, (Mass.)—
The mystery hanging over the heroine of the attem-
ted tragedy at the City Hotel, in Springfield, Mass, has
been cleared up. The Republican of that place, on
Tuesday, says:
“The name of the young lady, who has been ill there
from tuking arsenic and leudanum with the purpose
to destroy herself, is Mrs. Meade. Her husband is re-
presented to have recently died, and unpleasant rela
tions with her father, who is a wealthy planter and
merchant of Charleston, S. C., plunged her into that
state of mind, from which she eougnt relief in self
destruction. Her brother came from the Sopth on
Saturday evening, and the sister having recovered
from the effects of the poison, returned in his com
pany on Monday to the parents’ home—a step to which,
we understand, she was partially reconciled lmfore
leaving. Tho name of her father we are not at liberty
to give."
Another Outrage.—It will be recollected that two or
three weeks since we gave an account of an outrage
committed upon a young lady in Pearl street, in which
she was knocked down,gagged, robbed, her hands
ana feet tied and thus left. A part of the gang suppos
ed te.be engaged iu this transaction were arrested snd
ono of Jhem sufficiently identified to bold him for trial.
Early tin s morning tins same young ludy was found in
the canal slip attached to the boat yard of Messrs. Van
Slyke, Alien & Co, with her feet and hands tied, and a
gag in her mouth. She was discovered by some canal
drivers, who wpnt to water their horses, and when
found was nearly dead, her life having been preserved
by her floating upon the shore,where she was enabled
to reether head. She was taken to a house near by,
where she was doing well. She says that she was
seized last night about 11 o’clock, by some men, when
in the back yard of her boar,Rng house, near the cor
ner of Pearl and Court streets, gagged and bound, and
carried and throwninto the can.-tl. There seemstobe
something quite strange about Che affair. .She says
that on Tnursday night last she wa,? seized while in tno
hull of her boarding house and served in a similar
manner, and carried to a pond near the gaa works,
where she was left with a large stone placed upon her
person, butthatthis wnsnot mude'piihUc intliehope
that by keeping it privute the perpetrators of the out
rage might be made public. The whore transaction
is involved in considerable mystery andexhihita upon
its face a series of dariug outrages which we hope
will call out the best exertions of our police.—Buffalo
Commercial, 13tA.
Telegraphic Company.—A meeting of tho stocku old-
ers of tlie Telegraphic Company was bold in New Or
leans on Saturday of last week. Mr. Alexander, tee
President of tlie Company was present, and gave uii
uccountof its proceedings.
From his statement it appears that during the nine
months of his administration, tlie nett receipts of tho
line has amounted to $69,238 39. The expenses had
been less tliun'5,000 per mouth, and the treasurer re-
S orted @31,835 60,applicable to the payment of tho old
ebts of tiie company. The company are now nearly
free of debt, only a lew bonds remaining unpaid. The
umouutof stock issued is about $570,000, und the re
ceipts of tho line muy be estimated toaverage 10,000
per month, when kept iu good order, while the ex
penses would hardly reach 5.000. The directors con
template putting up a second wire between N. Orleans
anil Mobile on new posts, probably during the coming
summer. The cost would be about $50 per mile, or
10,000 for the whole improvement. The company is
in.treaty with tlfo Directors of the New York and
Washington Telegraph line, for n reduction of tolls
between these two citict, and there is a strong probe
Willy that it will be sueeifssful.

Athenaeum—Complimentary Benefit of Mr.
Adams.
it will besecn that a complimentary benefit is to bo
given to Mr. V. C. Adams, at the Atlionusmn, this eve
ning. The compliment is well deserved, nnd wo sin
cerely hope thnt the friends of the drama in our city
will not fail to give him such a testimonial of their
approbation On- this occasion, ns will be alike honora
ble to them and gratifying to the worthy and gentle
manly manngcr. •
Mr. A. has done more to elevate the character of the
drama tlinn any manager who lias been among us for
years. Ho has scrupulously redeemed his pledges to
the public, while he has performed his obligations to
the dramatic corps under his management. He as
catered for a refined taste, and lips, hi no instance,
permitted the entertainments to fall below a standard
which might be approved by nil elevated morality.
His intercourse with our public has been such as to
entitle him to universal respect and esteem. He has
had much to contend with, but 1ms acquitted himself
in a manner to preserve tlie confidence and favorable
regards of his patrons. His efforts to elevate the
character of the drama where it had boen brought
to so low a level, entitles him to the gratitude of all
who would see this great moral school rescued from
the degradation to which it has. been brought by
mercenary and unscrupulous ponderers to a vicious
taste.
This being the last night of the season, it is the
only opportunity our public will have of testifying
their approbation of his managerial career. Ill treat
ed ns he lias been by a portion of his company, who
have returned ingratitude and shameful desertion
for kindness and good faith, we sincerely hope that
he may, be greeted by such a general turn out, as will
prove to him that the Savannah public know how to
appreciate, and’are prompt to reward honorable deal
ing and personal merit.
I3P A Washington letter writer says that Thur-
low Weed, of the Albany Journal, is iu that city mak
ing silly speeches in regard to the coercion that is to be
used towards southern members and the south gener
ally. He talks about “fighting” and “blood-letting,"
und such treasonable stuff; while Mr. Clay talks of
peace. -The writer asks which of these two men (I
humbly crave the Kentuckian’s pardon for venturing
on the comparison) is the braveBt? The most cow
ardly creatures are always the most blood-thirsty.
Steamers—The steamer U. L. Cook, has been
thoroughly repaired and painted, and will again take
her place in the line of Augusta steamers, of which
Mr. M. A. Cohen, is the agent. She is commanded
by Mr. Thomas E. Shaw, whose attention to his pas
sengers has gained for him great popularity with the
travelling public.
The steamer Hancock, Capt. Murray, has been run-
ningbetween,this city, and Augusta duriug the past
winter, and has splendid accommodations. The Capt-
is one of the most popular masters of steamers on
our river, and the attention to the travelling public
received on his boat has attracted a good share of
patronage.
The Bteamer J. Stone, Capt. Freeland, has long
been a favorite boat, not only on the Savannah river,
also on the AltOmaha. She has been thoroughly re
paired and painted,at the ship-yard of Mr. AVilltnk,
and yesterday made a pleasure excursion to Tybee.
Picxf : up at Sea.—The schooner Del Norte, of
Jacksonville, was discovered at sea, forty miles to the
westward of the South-west Pass, by the New Or
leans tow-boat J. P. Whitney. She was capsized and
abandoned. Her cargo consisted of molasses. Capt.
Flinton and crew succeeded in getting her up, pumped
her out, aqd brought her to New Orleans on Tuesday
last
Alabama Castor Oil.—Six barrels of castor oil
from the plantation of Robert Dickens, Perry county,
were received at Mobile on Tuesday, and sold at $2
per gallon. The quality of this oil is superior, says the
Tribune, to any brought to this market E. K. Car
lisle has already sold this season for Mr. Dickens
some fifty barrels of castor oil, at prices ranging from
$3 to $-.50 per gallon.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Lovie Fierce.
We learn from the Columbus Hen tine], that Mrs.
Piebce, consort of Rev. Dr. Lovic Pierce, died
suddenly, in that city, on the 14th inst Mrs. Pierce
was in the enjoyment of her accustomed health on the
morning of her decease, and five minutes before
breathing her last, was engaged in her ordinary house
hold duties. It is thought she died of an affection of
the heart The Editor of tho Sentinel, remarking on
tills melancholy dispensation, says: “Thus has one of
the moat beloved members of our community, sud
denly, and without the slightest premonition of dan
ger, been hurried to the grave. A circle of friends, as
extensive as her acquaintance, is bereft of one of its
brightest ornaments. We speak not of the loss of
those who knew her best and loved her most. With-
in the sacred pale of their grief, we dare not enter,
save with the heart's own silent sympathy. Her re
vered husband is at present in attendance upon the
General Conference of his churcB, in session at 8t.
Louis, Mo. That God whom he has served for half
a century, can alone sustain him in his heart-rending
affliction.

The Henning Caw.
In the Methodist Episcopal conference now in ses
sion in Baltimore, the report of the committee on tlie
petition of T. C. Banning was called upon Wednes
day. In the dlseiission which ensued, it was alleged
thutjtlie Georgia conference, in conducting tho trial of
the petitioner. Which resulted in’ his expulsion, had
rendered their vordlct upon ex parte testimony. This
chnrgo was controverted by Mr. Bass, ono of tho
Georgia delegation. Tho subject was finally on mo
tion of Judge Hooper, of Md., disposed of os fol

The resolution was adopted by the following vote:

From the Plains.
Late accounta from the plains give intelligence of
great sufferings among tho Californio emigrants. Be
tween Fort Turney and Fort Laramie, a few trains In-
eluding several hundred persons, had perished, imd
the survivors were In a deplorable condition. Mules
nnd oxen were giving out for the want of food. Flour
meal and bread of the emigrants were used for the anl’
male, in hopes of keeping them alive until the latter
fort could be reached.
English HobsEs and Rail Roads—By a late
census of England, the number of horses in England
has been found to have diminished from 1,000 000
to 200,000 within the last ten years; in other words
the railroads have dispensed with the use of 800.000
horses, nnd these animals rs well ns oxen arc now
scarcely used for transportation, nnd thus the grain
and lood that the 800,000 horses formerly conBumod
have been dispensed with, and the land used for tlie
gro wth of hay and grass is devoted to the growth of
grain alone for the supply of bread.
Ohio—The Whig State convention met at Colura-
bus on the 6th inst. und nominated Wm. Johnson of
Cincinnati, as candidate for Governor, and Alexander
G. Conover of St. Marys as member of the board of
public works.
From Hayti—By the arrival at Boston of the brig
flllenus, which left Cape Haytien on the 28th of April,
the reasons which led to tlie arrest of Mr. Wilson, the
American consular agent there, of which we have pre
viously had an account by way of Turk's Island, are
explained. It appears that the hatches of every for
eign vessel in port are, by order of the authorities, or
dered to be sealed up, excepting when the government
officers are onboard. Consequently cargos can be re.
ceived only under their supervision. A load of coffee
was lying in an open lighter alongside of an American
vessel, and to prevent this from damage during a
threatened storm. Mr, Wilson ordered the custom
house seals to be removed, and tlie merchandise plac
ed under the hatches. For this he had been arrested,
but was subsequently released upon the interference
of the French oonsul. At the latest account he had
gone to Port au Prince to enter an answer to the
charges made agalnBt him.
From Texna.
Late Texas papers received at New Orleans, state
that the rivers in that section are all very high, many
of them oversowing their banks. Heavy rain fell,
all over the Interior.
The prospecta for the present crop, in direction of
tho Trinity river, are discourging—even worse than
last year, at the same date. The amount of cotton to
be sent to market is very small, and even that little
cannot be hauled to the river on account of the bad
roads.
The Apaches had killed Mr. Torrey nnd two other
Americans, and permitted the Mexicans who were
with them to return to the settlements.
It appears that a party of Americans attacked the
town of Jesu Maria a few months sinciymd were re
pulsed after .a severe contest, ft apjttrs that tiie
Texans who was engaged by the government of Chi
huahua to kill Apaches, have become hostile to tho
Mexicans, and are now plundering the Mexican settle
ments. There are probably one/.r two hundred of
these freebooters in Chihuahua, nnd they have become
so formidable that t..e Whole country Is kept in a state
of constant alarm. There is some probability that
these bands will goon be strengthened by several par.
ties --f emigrants who are on their way to the Gila,
nnd by numbers of California emigrants who stopped
at El Paso. Mahy of these emigrants were in a very
destitute condition when they reached El Paso, and
threats were repeatedly made by them that they would
revolutionize Chihuahua.
Rome, Georgia.—’The Rome Southerner speaking
of tlie rapid improvement of that city remarks—
"It is gratifying to us to be able testate that the edu
cational advantages of our city are of the highest order,
while public morals are in a comparatively healthful
condition. As “ the summertime is coming,” we in,
vitc the attention of our low country friends to tills
place, as a delightful and secure retreat from the
scorching heat and malaria incident to their own sec
tion. To the invalid we can promise pure water
salubrious air, and the society of the intellectual and
refined; to the votary of pleasure we offer fun and
frolic in abundance."
Southern Methodist Efiscofal Conference.
This conference was still in session at St Louis on the
6th instant. We noticein the proceedings the passage
of an act for establishing a new Conference in Western
Virginia, to include all the territory in Virfcinir not-
indudedinthe present Virginia, North Carolina and
Holstien Conferences.
[gpTbe Marietta Helicon learns from a gentleman
direct from New Orleans, that the waters of the Cum
berland were flooding the streets of Nashville, and
many houses were standing with only their roots
above the water.
The same gentleman says that nearly all the plan
tations along the banks of the Mississippi river are
completely submerged for a grent many miles above
tlie City. Through the Bonnet Curre, tho .waters of
the river are rushing into lake Poncliartrain, the wa
ters of which tasted nearly as fresh as the river.
This crevasse is about thirty five miles above New
Orleuns.
The Cuban Expedition—Tho following is an
extract from a private letter dated at New Orleans,
April 15th, to a gentleman In Cincinnati:
“I am here with a compapy for Cuba, which we
have raised, and Hhull receive for the yenr's service
$4,000. I should not have told you this, but we nA
going to sail to-morrow, provided wc are not aa un
successful as tlie expedition was last summer, and
there is already considerable discussion here.”
- Cy Aline of Coaches has commenced running be
tween Marietta and Atlanta, leaving Marietta in the

A World’s Fair.—At a-meetingof the Mechanics’
Institute, ot New York held on the 14th instant, the
fallowing resolution, offered by the Hon. Zudok Pratt,
president of the Institute, was adopted :
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to take
into consideration the expediency of holding, in the
city of .New York, in the year 1852, a world's fair, for
the benefit of mechani c und of tbl“ and other
countries.
An evidence oftlie strong interest felt in the perma
nence of our republican institutious, is furnished in
the following extract of a letter from a gentleman of
distinction in the literary and political circles of
France, to a friend In this counrry :
“I hope, rty good sir, that your fatal question of
slavery will receive a satisfactory solution and will
not endanger the peace of our denr United States.
Your population should never forget that, on the
moderation they will display in this terrible contro
versy, will depend the peace and happiness of the
world.
“Any thing, which would impair the unity of your
admirable Republic would prove fatal to the great
object of progress which we have iu view on this side
of the Continent.”
The Lowell Factories—The Lowell Adver
tiser, in noticing the assertion that some of the facto
ries in that city had stopped running because they
could’nt sell their goods, says :
“Some of the mills in Lowell are to be stopped to
have their machinery repaired and improved, and
some to substitute the Turbine for the old wheel. But
not one, we think, ou account of depressions of the
manufacturing busiuesB.”
It says also that the owners intend getting rid of-
their foreign laborers to a greet extent, and get hock
the American women and men, whose labor, after all,
is chenpest on account of their greater skill.
A Distinguished Hungarian—His Excellency,
Odon Borthey, Guardian of tho Hungarian Crown of
St Stephen, Chief of all the Civil Governors in Hunga
ry, and of the Supreme Court of the whole country,
is coming from Hel igolantf to New York to escape
Austrian persecution.
Flying Ship—Mr. Rufus Porter, of New York,
who claims to be the original inventor of tho “ Aerial
Steamer, or Flying Ship," is now soliciting subscrip
tions to stock to aid him in starting on the first voyage.
He has made some experiments in New York with a
model machine, which were pronounced by some of
the papers os successful. The New “York Sim says :
The model aerial steamer was exhibited again in
the Merchant's Exchange yesterday, and satisfied
some of its greatest opinents that it oould navigate
the air.

expressed opinion of Prof. Agassiz, who it is 7
ed, will shortly give the public his views on this fi,
tcresbng question at the same length.
The Providence Journal, who has watched
these matters with more attention than any other
perinthe country, is decidedly of opinion that Z
John Franklin Is still alive. They suppose he i. f„
ther to tho West and North than the English navin’
tors have Imagined and that ho is rather to be souaht
for through Bhering’s Straits, itis supposedly misfit
hove entered the sea which is believed to he around
tho Pole, and have progressed too far to the West to
be reached through Baffin’s Bay. Some navigator,
after passing over tho immense icy barrier, have dis
covered an open sea beyond, through which Fir John
may have passed.
J3P We understand that tiie Manufacturing Com
pany at Ro«well t in Cobh County, have recently laid
the foundation of a new factory near the site of the
one now in operation. The now factory is to run
five thousand spindles, and the building materials are
nearly nil in readinessr
We learn also thatGovenor McDonald lmsjustcom-
pleted a new factory in Campbell County, to run 5000
spindles. Thus the work goes bravely on.
The Arctic Expedition.—The two vessels ft.
tended for the expedition for the relief of Sir John
Franklin, are now receiving their stores at the Navy
YardutN. Y. and will probably be fully equipped in
provisions and men in the course of a few days. Tho
following officers have been appointed: To the ‘‘ad
vance," Lieut.D. Haven, commanding; Wm.H.Mur-
dagh, paseed midshipman; W. 8. Lovell, midship,
man. To the “ rescue,” S. P. Griffin, passed midship
man, commanding; R. R. Carter, passed midshipman;
Henry Brooks, boatswain.
Murder and Suicide.—A most shocking murder
and suicide wore commi tted in Nushua, N. H. on Tues
day morning. A man named J. Hart Allen, }ibout 50
years old, living on Myrtle staeet, murdered his own
child, a little girl just two years old, by tying a cord
around her neck and strangling her. He then hung
himself. This most heart rending affair is all the work
of rum I Alien was formerly a respectable citizen, hut
ior eeveralyenrs pasthas been quite intemperate.
riF* Mr. Joshua R. Giddings has been appointed
a delegate Irora Ohio to the World's Peace Conven
tion.
It is to be hoped that ho will attend, and that tho
first act of the body will be to declare itself in per-
petua.
Fbom Yucatan.—The brig Cobden, arrived stBos
ton, brings advices from Sisal to the 24th of April—
The war of races still continued, success, as at our
previous accounts, remaining with the whites. Trade
was dull in all its branches.
Cubans in Washington.—The National Intelli
gencer says that a number of the Creoles, who, with
all the strangers, had left Havana at last accounts on
account of yellow fever and the alarm from threaten
ed invasion, have ulrendy arrived in Washington, and
were on Wednesday among tiie spectators in Con
gress. '
E3P* The arrival of imigrants at N. Y. continue!,
and for the last five days has averaged two thousand
per diem. The Albert Gallatin’s 849 passengers, as
previously stated, was one of the largest living car,
goes that ever came to that port The realization to
tlie owners must have lieeu over $12,000. There haa
been little or no eickness. Tho following flat givee
some of the figures for the several ships:—Niagara
306; Ivanhoe, 380; Enterprise, 310; Charles Crock
er, 544; New World, 723; Rocius,470; Constitution,
628; Fidelia, 327; Wm. Rathbun, 560; Living Age,
303; Annie, 223; Waterford 108; Cos-no, 160; Bal
timore. 300; the latter from Havre. In the ten hours
of Wednesday noon, there had arrived 1,491. Re
liable authority estimates the total arrivals, since Fri
day last, at 10,000.
Insuring Debts.—Tim Lafayette Insurance Com
pany, of Indiana, have opened an office In N. lork,
with tho intention to guarantee oc insure the payment
of debts for a premium. With this view they lately
offered one thousand shares of their 6tock to Nmv
York merchants, increasing their capital to 8150,000,
nnd it was promptly taken. Risks by debt are
much subjects forinsurance ns any other risks, am
the agents ure to give accurate tables of risks, based
upon experience. This is a novel feature in tiie eci-
enco of insurance, but we live in a progressive ago-
Foreign and domestic bills of exchange are to come
in for insurance, ns well as bonds, notes of obligation*-
