On the 4th of March, Captain Lockycr, in the Ma
dia, (acting on the requisition of the Chinese local au
thorities,) attacked and destroyed, in Mirs Bay, a fleet
of 30 piratical junks, mounting front 8 to 18 guns each.
220 or the pirates were killed and 20 captured; 600
nude their escape under cover of night. Capt. Lock-
yer accomplished this service without a casually of
any kind on his side.
In trade at Cnntou, there is little change to report.—
The Market for manufactured goods is rather lower,
but it is expected to recover.
In tea there is very little doing for England. For
America considerable purchases of green have been
settled at previous rates.
Two British vessels are now loading for Anvrica at
a rate ot freight ratherunder what has been usually
paid to Americans. Exchango on England without
variation. On India transactions on Company’s bills
have been none at 221r. per $100.
Prussia. The Roman question is about to become
entangled in the mnzes of diplomacy, ond it may be
some time before the Pope will be able to extricate
himself from Chancery. A communication which
has lately emanated from the Court of Berlin, has
served to take the Catholic powers, as they are pleas
ed to consider themselves, somewhat aback. Wheth
er it be on uccount of the jealous rivalry that has
sprung up between Berlin and Vienna, or whether it
bo the case that Lord Palmerston for soke of strength
ening himself in his position between Austria and
France, boa suggested to Prussia tho step she has ta
ken, the latter power has signified that she does not
mean to allow a question of such immense general
importance (o be settled without her concurrence.
It is complained that hitherto no official institutions
have been mode of the proceedings of other powers,
while it is contended that although Prussia be what is
called a Protestant power, yet that her Rhenish and
other Roman Catholic subjects oblige her to look nar
rowly to the dealings of the great powers with the
Court of Rome. In fact. Prussia contends that she
has ns good a right as England, to take a partin this,
question. England, it is said, sustains the claims oi
Prussia, so that neither Austria on the one hand, or
France on the other, or, what is more to the pur
pose. both by collusion, will be able to make cheap
merchandize of the Roman people.
The Free Press says:—It is announced that n Re
publican movement has broken out in Iceland, and
that the Danish governor has been driven away. The
maintenance of the commercial monopoly of Copen
hagen, of which Icelanders hnve long complained,
is tile cause of the outbreak. Two steamers have
been sent with troops to chnstise the insurgents.’' (
Stafford, England. Stafford and the neighborhood
were on Wednesday alnrmed by a report, which turn
ed out quito correct, of a most tragical event having
taken place at Ingestre, the seat of Earl Talbot. It
seems that Mr. Yarker, head game keeper to Earl Tal
bot, who was recovering from an attack of delirum
tremens, was attended by Walter Murray, the person
who was placed in charge of him by the advice oi his
medical adviser, Mr. Waddell, of Stafford, who had
repeatedly given instructions thnt any weapon with
which he could possibly do any injury should be cau
tiously kept from him, and also that he should be strict
ly watched.
It appears, however, that Murray, who is an under
keeper, about 6 o’clock on Tuesday evening incau
tiously allowed Yarker to take out a gun, in company
with him, for the purpose of shooting jackdaws. Af
ter they had proceeded about u mile Yarker shot Mur
ray with a bullet: Yarker then returned home, leav
ing bis victim dead in a kind of a tower or temple.
The servant girl was in the kitchen when Yarker ar
rived there, taking tea, with an inihut in her arms; he
opened the door, and shot her dead through the heud,
the child falling unhurt to the ground.
Yarker’s sister, who is the widow of a medical gen
tleman, was in the small apartment, not more than
three yards from him ; he levelled the gun at her, and
she shifting her position he lowered his gun from his
shoulder; again levelled and tired; she distinctly saw
the flesh, and immediately moved her head and es
caped with two shots in fior face; Y’arker then ran into
the wood with his gun unloaded. His wife, who was
in the yard, followed him. In about ten minutes from
this time Yarker’s sister heard the report of a gun, and
in abiut two minutes afterwards the report of anoth
er. Mr. Waddell, the surgeon, was immediately sent
for from Stafford, and oh his arrival ut the scene
found Yarker and his wife lying about five yards dis
tant from each other, Mrs. Yarker having been shot
through the heart, and the upper part of Y’arker’s head
being entirely blown off, taking with it nearly tho
whole of the contents of the skull.

ruche and silk lace; and also on tho body, forming
brondenbourgs, diminishing to Hie waist; the sleeve*
open at Hie side of tho arm and terminating in n
square form, with niches and lace. The very open
kind of embroidery termed a la Angloise hus been
so much admired, that it has led to the imitation ot
it in silk flounces of spring taffetas; the effect is ex
tremely light. A taffetas dress of oliver-gray, cover
ed by these flounces, was very elegunt.—London amt

Freak of the Lightning. Yestcrdny about hall-past
3 o'clock, a thunder storm raging North ot us, its ef
fect was felt In the Telegraph office at tine place. I he
operator was sitting near the window, when he no
ticed n body of flame over his mngtiet, the size ot a
man’s hat. He sprang to throw the instrument out ot'
circuit, but it immediately diaappeuml, after
the silk which wraps the magnet wire, severing
some small wires, and occasioning u snupping noise
like tlio explosion of a percussion cap. •-
The lightning also kicked up “shindy" las evening

A venr or two ago, it will be recollected, tile
Countess of Oorlltz was shockingly murdered at
Darmstadt. Suspicion fell on her husband, who held
the post of chamberlain to the Grand Duke. The tri
al terminated u few weeks ago The Count was en
tirely acquitted, and the crime fixed on John fitautl,
his valet. The body of the Countess was discovered
in her chamber, and it was burned in so singular a
manner that it was supposed that death resulted from
spontaneous combustion. The medical evidence on
the trial was curious and interesting. Home of the
most eminent physicians of, Germany, and Baron Lie
big, the celebrated chemist, were desired by the court
to givetheiropinion wlieHier spontaneous combustion
in her case was probable. The medical men per
formed several experiments on dead bodies exposed
to fire, placing burning furniture, and even u fac-siml-
le of the secretary, in a closed room, to ascertain
whether Hie extensive carbonization of the body of
tlie countesss could have been produced by accident,
and they reported posiHvely to the contrary. On the
question of spontaneous combustion, Baron Liebig,
and the otiier scientific men who joined in the report,
declared that not only was it impossible in the case of
tlfe Countess, but that spontaneous combustion of the
human body in any ca.se wns impossible. They de
clared that the ordinary belief on this subject was a
delusion; that they had carefully examined Hie evi
dence in nll the cases of spontaneous combustion Hiat
have been reported, and found it ull so defective us
not to weigh for nn instant against Hieir conviction ol
the physicul impossibility of such un occurrence.
A Gratis Spree.—The Clare (Ireland) Journal says
that a few dnvs ago several spirit dealers sent ill sam
ples of whiskey, according to order, in a competition
for Hie contract to supply Hie Gort uuion with that
native beverage, to be used, of course, only medici
nally. There were a good many samples, and the
guardians, of course, deemed it their duty to taste
all. But it never occurred to them thnt whiskey,
even when taken ill Hie course of duty, lias certain
effects, even upon boards. The board in question, it
is said tumbled down stairs, and some of the planks
were ns deeply saturated us though the whole affuir
had occurred in the usual course.

Newport.
A correspondent writing from this famous summer
retreat, remarks;
It is mighty quiet here now; but what will it lie six
weeks lienee 1 Almost every disposable bouse is let;
numbers of hotel rooms arc bospoken, and Hie price*
unhesitatingly agreed to be paid ure euormous.
What think vou of one ciUzcn’s being offered by some
rich booby $1000 for his house during July and Au
gust ? A small cottage furnished decently, lets tor
$450 for three months—about 15 per cent, on its whole
value. A man who keeps a small boarding house re
fused to take a certain family because they refused to
pay, in addiHnn to a very high price for other accom
modations, eight dollars a week rent for a parlor to
themselves. This eight dollars a week is rather more
than a lair price for the whole house, throwing in
two stables and n pig-sty ; hut thern is no more con
silience in a boarding-house keeper than there is soul
in a corporation.
We give this paragraph for the benefit of our fash
ionables, in order that they may count the cost be
forehand. Perhaps some of Hiem will come to the
sensible conclusion to make a trial oi the comiorts ot
some oHier watering place, even it it should be in tlie
mountain regions of zmr own State. There they
would bo sure of beautiful scenery, pure air, pure
water, and good society; free from the intrusion oi
Hie fashionablo flats of Hie large cities, a species of
biped with more brass than brains, und whose only
claim to posiHou in the fashionable world is the
wealth which has, perhaps, been suddenly acquired
by a fortunate speculation in fish, or inherited from a
thrifty ancestry of tallow chandlers and soap boilers.

YV. T. Thompson, Esq.:
My Dear Sir: This city begins to linvo the ap
pearance of leisure, notwithstanding tlie River con
tinues in fine boating order. The cotton from North
Altibamn being nearly all forwarded to market, and
there being no ready sale for tho other produce now
in store, such as Flour, Bacon, &c., of course busi
ness wears a dull appearance, oncl must continue so,
until tho mnrket shall hold out the proper induce
ments to plnnters to forward Hie products of their la
bors. How long will it be beforo tlie people of your
city, (and Hio country surrounding it,) are ready to
substitute the produce of this section, for that from
the NorHi and West ? When they are ready to do
this, you will sec renewed life in the trade of East
Tennessee.
I have been much gratified within the last few days
to find Hint your Savannah is gaining favor with ma
ny of tlie North Alabama and Tennessee cotton plan
ters and merchants. Four or five gentlemen from
these sections, will be in your city next week, having
consigned to Messrs. Padelford, Kuy Sc Co., and
Messrs. E. Parsons & Co., near 500 bales of cotton,
when I hope that a fuvorable impression may be
fully realized by them.
The people of your city should be awakened to
their best interests, when they would see and feel the
necessity of holding out the proper inducements to
tlie industry of North Alabama and Tennessee for tlie
produce of their beautiful farms.

The Fire of Yesterday Morning.
The fire noticed in our paper yesterday morning
was undoubtedly the act ofan incendia-y, for we have
ascertained that it originated in the saw-mill belong
ing to the estate of Winkler, and that the tire in the
furnaces was extinguished in the evening before the
workmen left. Two men, James Frazer and Samuel
Mercer, were arrested by the watchmen in the imme
diate vicinity of the mill a few moments after tho
alarm, and committed to the guard house. Y'ester-
day morning they underwent nn examination be’ore
his Honor, the Mayor, and were committed for a fur
ther hearing before Justice P. M. Russel this morn
ing at 11 o'clock.
The buildings burnt were old, and the loss to the
President himself will come is uncertain, though
great hopes are entertained that lie will. He has been
invited by Mr. District Attorney Hall, of New York,
to become his guest nt Newport, should the business
of Government permit his absence from Wushington
during the summer solstice. .
In another part of his letter he remarks:
The place abounds in agreeable widows, both old
ami young, and very lovely “damsels,” who are all
young of course—it being an admitted fact that no
woman can be old as long ns she remains single.
Among the former let me mention the still lovely and
admired relict of thnt justly celebrate i nuval hero,
Lawrence, who died giving utterance to those re
nowned words, “ Don't give up the ship I”
These are no doubt attractions ; but we would re
peat the warning of the sage of Pickwick, “ Bevare
of vidders.”
Methodist Protestant General Conference.
It will be seen by the following report of proceed
ings of this body, now in session in Baltimore, that
the question of slavery, which has caused so much
agitation and unpleasant results in some of thochurch-
es,has been put to rest in the Methodist Protestant
Church—it having been determined that the subject
belongs exclusively to Hie several State or Annual
Conferences:
“The Executive Committee to whom was recom
mitted the paper from the Manchester Circuit of tlie
Pittsburg Conference on tlie subject of slavery, and
the resolutions of the New York Conference recom
mending thut the word “white” be stricken out of the
arHcle of the ConsHtution relaHve to the eligibility
and suffrage of members, reported that they are of
opinion that this General Conference has no jurisdic
tion over Hie subjects referred to in those papers. In
reference to the request of the Manchester Diatriot
asking the General Conference to deprive the Annual
Conferences of the pon ers to ‘legislate on tlie sub
ject of slavery,’ Hiey do not think that this General
Conference should assume the right to expound the
Discipline for tlie Annual Conferences, but that each
Annual Conference is to judge of such matters as are
referred to them by the Constitution respectively for
themselves, and are only held responsible to the Gen
eric Conference when, in its judgement, Hiey shall
have passed 'rules or regulations’ contravening the
Constitution, The report was adopted by on almost
unanimous vote.”

The Remington Bridge.—We understand, says
the Madon Telfigraph,that the bridge at Montgomery,
Alabama, is now nearly completed, and that its
success is regarded aa certain. Mr. Beattie has dis
posed of one eighth interest in the right for the State
of Georgia to a company of gentlemen in Milledge
ville, who contemplate the immediate construction of
two bridges near that place. Col. W. G. Bonner, one
of the parties alluded to, is a practical Engineer of
much experience, and of course is fully competent to
appreciate tlie merits of tlie invention. Mr. B. lias
hitherto held tlie right of the State of Georgia at
000, nt which rate he sold the interest in question,
Should Mr. Remington be entirely successful in ilia
undertaking at Montgomery, of which there seems to
be no doubt, the value of the improvement will be al
most incalculable. The prices at which these bridges
can be constructed are so inconsiderable, that they
cannot fail to supercede all others.

respect and admiration of the travelling public. A

board their boats is such as must cause regret at
the separation. Tho trains over the YV. and A. R. It,
(since the completion of the Tunnel) are making
their regular trips, but this will not (now) satisfy Hie
North Alabama and Tennessee cotton planters, who
were led to believe that the Tunnel would be comple
ted in tho early part of last month, which induced
them to send their cotton to this place where it was
compelled to lay in the mud and wuter for months,
much to its damage. It wns impossible to get it otf
witii the i'ewcars then between this and the Tunnel;
however, we cun now hope for more satisfaction to
the planters. The agent ut this depot has done all inJ
his power to get off the cotton and other produce,
this I must say having been much nhout his office
for the last few weeks.

Poweb of Pardoning in Massachusetts.—
The piirdoning power, says the Portland Advocate,
does not, as many suppose, lie in the Governor alone.
In all executive acts, the Governor of Massachusetts
is assisted by nine constitutional advisers, called a
Council.—Among other committees, onr on pardons
is appointed. Before this committee the applicants
for pardon or commutation of punishments are obliged
to appear by their counsel, and arguments ure heard.
This committee report their decision to Hie Governor
in council, und they are almost always accepted, or,
at least, form the basis of their subsequent action.
Ladies’ Fashions for May.
Tlie spring taffetas are with pule blue vert d’Isly

lower part, of which is almost ns simple ns a paletot;
nor is it tight at the waist. The art consists in show-
ing the smallness of the waist without confining it.
The make of ball dresses does not change. Walk
ing dresses are high. The season admits of their be
ing made open, to show tiio chemisette Ainazope or
guimpe Elizabeth; but the reverse is often required;
it gives much grace to n tight body, or one merely lull
ed at the shoulder and waist. The sleeves are quite
tight, as tho old Amadio sleeves; or a shorter one
ot progressive width, admitting the under sleeves.
Wlledingotes, with open Jcorsage en cceur. Those a
la Raphael are still in favor, with trimmings pinked.
■ Chicorees, frou frous of narrow worsted lace, and
some rich black laces, are the usual ornaments of red-
ingotes, harmonising with the nature of the material,
among which we may cite the popeliues, taffetas

advantages that Indies much approve them.
White beads, placed above tlie flounces, of lace,

and so much have Hiey been admired, that now ones
of every color are preparing ; in black beads the ef

narrow blackflounces. But a more general fashion
has been observed at the recent fetes iu Paris; a great
many of the dresses of taffetas were trimmed with
flounces pinked in patterns producing .nn* open ef

of these robes hod but three flounces, the patterns
of which covered three parts of their widths; others
were .witii fourteen or fifteen narrow flounces, entire

elegant trimming; Id give on idea we may cite one
of pink taffetas with narrow flounces, each of which
was a different shape, tlio deepest at Hie bottom to
the palest at Hie wuist; the sumo repeated formed

Tlio Cuban Expedition.
Wc wait with intense anxiety the intelligence from
Havana, which is to make us acquainted with Hiefate
of this expedition. If it is indeed a spontaneous
movement of the people of thnt oppressed Island,
and tlie forces thnt have gone from this country are
hut volunteers in the causo of political liberty, as
were Lafayette. DeKalb, Pulaski, and the thous
ands of heroic foreigners who flocked to our standard
in the day of our own struggle against English tyran
ny, then do we sincerely wish the cause God-speed.
YVe are no friend to lawless aggression, or tmauthor*
ized interference with the governments of other na

it exists, and our cordial sympathies are with those
who fight against it.
Speaking oi Hiis movement, the New Orleans
Delta, which ceems, from the first, to have been in the
confidence of tlie Cubuii leaders, says:
Ere this, if the storms or other causes have not pre
vented, General Lopez has effected his landing at a
point in tiio Island where he has hosts of friends, who
have long been urging him to come to them, if he
brought but twenty men. His expectation wns to
make such landing on Monday last. YVe await with
intense interest to near of the result. All will depend
upon tlie verity of the promises made by the Creoles
of the Island. If they nrc true—and with the proofs
before us, we can admit no doubts into our minds,—if
they give practical proofs of tlio sincerity of Hieir
declarations, there cannot be the slightest doubt of
tlie event. Thousands of tho gallant youUi of our
country will flock to their standurd, and the contest
will assume that elevated character which will attach
to the side of the regenerators, the hopes, sympatiiies,
and cordial co-operation of all freemen and patriots.

[[TIP A funny scene occurred at one of the abolition
meetings in New-York. YVe overlooked it the other
day in giving an account of those particolored anni
versaries. One of the chief speukers on the occasion
was C. C. Burleigh—a man of very clever parts, and
a capital orator. He is, however, as vain as a young
peacock, and this vunity is developed in a peculiar
way. lie fancies that he has a close resemblance to
some of the pictures of the Saviour—particularly ill
the color of liis hair, which is auburn, and so long
that it reaches the middle of his back. His beard is
also of a similur longitude. It falls upon his breast.
YVhen he mounted the stage to deliver his address
there were divers questions put to him by tlie “bhoys"
—such as “are you a woman!” or “why do you cheat
tlie barber!" &c„ &e. At this critical moment, Capt
Rynders, who was also on thssstage, slipped up to our
hero, and very gently putting one hand around his

Monr. Cotton Mills Embarrassed. YVe regret
to learn from Paterson this morning, thnt the exten
sive Cotton Mills of Hint place are in a greatly de
pressed condition—the result of the great demand for
the raw material in Europe, nnd its consequent rise ill
value without a corresponding rise in the value of
the good* manufactured from it. This illustrates,
perhap*, better than con be done otherwise, our great
need of a Protective Tariff.—Newark Advertiser.
What becomes of the uliove argument when we
take into account the fact that the Southern Mills are
doing a prosperous business ? Ii the people oi tlie
Northern States cannot manufacture Cotton goods
for tho nation without a bonus in tho shape of a Pro
tective Tariff, they must give way to us of the South
who can.
ra desperate encounter between two thieves
nnd i^German, occurred at Morrisville, near Trenton,
N. J., on Tuesday evening of la t week. The thieves
stole ahorse from one farm and then proceeded with
him to another, where Hiey attempted to steul a wag
on ond liurness. A German laborer who was slcep-
ing in an apartment of the bam which contained tlie
ai tides, was fastened in by a brace, but being awak
ened by tlie bark of a dog, be released himself and
fired a pistol at the robbers. They returned the fire,
the ball entering the hut of the German, who closed
with one of them and was getting the better of him,
when tho other came to the rescue. 1 he proprietor
of Hie farm, however, being uwakened by Hie pistol
reports, also approached the scene, when the robbers
fled.

Nashville Convention.
The Hon. YValter T. Colquitt, formerly U. S. Sen-
ntor in Congress, from Georgia, has accepted tlie ap
pointment of Delegate to the Nashville Convention;
and has conic out iu n long lottter denouncing the
compromise in all its features.
Thos. S. Gnolson, Esq., of Virginia, hns accepted
the appointment of Delegate to the Nashville Conven
tion, from the P.runswick District, nnd lias written a
letter favoring the postponement of the Convention
urging as reasons thnt a satisfactory compromise is at
this moment pending in Hie Senate, anil thnt tho Con
ventiou as now constituted cannot adequately repre
sent Southern sentiment. He will, however, attend
the Convention held at the appointed time. He says
The Senate of the United States present a cheer
ing, nn elevating spectacle. Senators who have grown
old iu the service of their country—whose patriotism
none call doubt, and whose fame extends wherever
civilization exists—are burying their party dittoren-
ces, sacrificing sectional prejudices, and laboring to
gether harmoniously in the great work of saving the
Union. Animated by this holy desire, and invoking
a spirit of a mutual conciliation and forbearance, they
have proposed terms of compromise deemed just
and honorable to all. Every patriot ardently desires
that this noble effort may be crowned witii success.
A thousand voices, coining up from every section of
tlie lund, cheer them on; and there are umnistakeable
evidences that they have the feelings and sympatiiies
of the great body of the people with them. Let u*,
therefore, show our devotion to Hie Union,by forbear
ing, ns long ns there is a reusonuble prospect that our
rights will be respected.
But, if the Convention assemble nt the proposed
time, I have no nphrcKension that any thing will he
done calculated to increase the present difficulties. 1
believe Hint nine-tenths of Hie .Southern people are
willing to abide any compromise which may be re
commended by such men us King, of Ala., Fodte, of
Miss., Bell, of Tenn., Berrien, of Ga., nnd Mungum,
of North Carolinu. Tho rights and honor oi the
South arc secure in the hands of such men; and I
have no fear whatever Hint any convention of South
ern Delegates will refuse to sanction und approve
their course.”

Gold Statistics. Col. Snowden of the U. S.
Mint, at Philadelphia, gives tlie following interesting
information : Last arrival, viz., 18th hist., it $1,555-
000. The coiasgc for Hie present month has already
reached, the large sum of $1,707 540. Gold depos-
itea to No. inclusive’ are now payable.
Jqfp Eggs are still valued according to the number,
uotwitstauding that recent experiments have Bhown
a difference in weight in some instances of nine oun
ces between one dozen and another ; the greatest
weight attained by the experiments, was 24 ounces,
and tlie lowest fourteen and a half. Iff the one case
a fraction over eleven eggs would equal the average
weight of a dozen, and in the other, it would require
over eighteen eggs to reach the proper weight. Yet
tho price for both by the present mode of selling is
the same.
The crops—Cotton. Discouraging accounts in ref
erence to this plunt from floods, late spring and cold
weather, continue to pour in upon us Horn the centre
cotton growing region. It is now evident that with
the most propitious season for Hie future, there cannot
be an ordinary crop made.
Corn in this section is rather promising. Wheat
and oats also. There will-no doubt be more than
enough of each’made for domestic consumption.
