Correspondence of the Daily Morning Newt.
New York. May 31, 1850.
It has leaked out that one of the Beaches, of the
Sun, (Mosca Y., probably,) has been eeveral times be
fore the Grand Jury, and will, probably, be indicted
for his participation in the late Cuba ‘wild goose
chase.' The tone of the paper has changrd very
much, and the Editor has now discovered that Lopez
really did arrive at Savannah.
A colored • confidence man’ practiced a successful
trick yesterday on a horse-dealer named Smith. This
class are generally pretty ‘cute,’ but the nigger was.
too much for him. Smith was driving a pretty span
through the street, when the ‘darkle,’ a bit of a swell
in bis way, accosted him, and stated that it was just
such a team as he was commissioned to buy for Sher
wood Si Fisher, tho celebrated re'staraut keepers in
Broadway. Smith was, of course, glad to hear of a
purchaser, and invited him into the wagon, and drove
to their place of business, where the nigger entered,
but soon came out again, saying that he bad a bill to
pay, and was short $2. Smith quite unsuspectingly
lent him the money. The next time he api>eared, he
said that Mr. Sherwood wanted to see him, and offer
ed to take care of the team in the meantime; but im
mediately the other disappeared, the negro jumppd
into the wagon and drove off". Smith began to smell
a rat almost as soon as he entered the place, and very
soon discovered that he had been * done,’ and giving
notice to the police, the fellow was arrested in a few
hours afterwards, having a flashy ‘yallcrgal’ in the
wagon with him. Poor Smith looked very sheepish
about the affair, and was ashamed that a ‘colored
pusson' should have victimized him.
It is strange, that notwithstanding all the exposures
and cautions of the press, mock auctioneers still find
victims; a fellow in Broadway has, within two days,
succeeded in robbing two Individuals of about 8300
or 8400. by tho old process of misrepresentation, or
deceiving the parties as to the quantity they were pur
chasing. One old man from the country, complained
this morning that he bought a lot of articles for 870,
which ho afterwards found were not worth $20, and
when he complained, the auctioneer offered to put
them up Bgsin; but he neither did that or returned the
money. In this case, an officer was sent to the place,
and by threats of punishment, succeeded in making
the fellow disgorgo the whole amount. These affairs
are generally conducted so as to avoid the law, but if
there be a chance of touching the fellows, they seldom
Earthquake.
Tho Allgcmeine Zeitung states that tho greatest
consternation prevailed in the city of Smyrna, incon
sequence of continuous shocks of earthquake.—Thou
sands of persons have fled from their homes, and
were lodged in the oppn air, notwithstanding the in
clemency ol the weather, and others had taken re
fuge in the vessels lying in the harbor. , .
The Greek Church, the American College, the Aus
trian Consulate, und several mosques were greatly in
jured, and part of the city has been thrown down ; a
large rocky mountain, about four miles from the city
■has been rent; huge masses of rock have been illi-
lodged, and iu its full has hurled down trees that have
stood for centuries, and overwhelmed a part ot the
'Fhe river has been forced from its channel, and the
water suddenly became brackish. All the hills sur-
routidlng the harhor are full of fissures, i rnyers to
Almighty God to arrest further evil are being put up
in anthe churches. , . ,,
It appears that the earthquai e has traversed the
whole of tho Archipelago, and may be traced to the
Uttermost boundaries of Caraniama.
The steamship Asia.
The European Times pronounces the Asia the fin
est specimen of an ocean-going vessel ever launched.
“Her length over all is about 300 feet, and she will
measure no less than 2250 tons. Her paddle-wheels
are 38 feet diameter, moved by two magnificent en
gines of 800 horse power (150 liotse power more than
the Europe.) They are supplied by four enormous
boilers, whicii can lio worked together or separately.
The general arrangements of the cabins and births
are somewhat similar to the previous vessels of this
line. The accommodation, however, is altogether
upon a lurger, airier, and statelier scale.
The main saloon is a noble apartment, having about
seven feet six inches of head room. Besides this
main saloon there are two roomy gentlemen's cabins,
aud a ladies’or cabin drawing room. There is ac
commodation for nbout 140 first-class passengers for
whose use, comfort aud luxury, there is a well select
ed library, with newspapers nnd periodicals, a smok
ing room, surgeon’s room, icehouse, cowhouse, car
penter’s room, bakehouse, cookhouse, (sixteen feet
square.)’’

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA! '.
Baltimore, June 4,1850.
The British steamer America hns arrived at Halifax,
with dates to the 25th ult., from Liverpool. The Cot
ton market is firm, and the prices are the same as
when the etenmer Asia left. Fair Orleans are quoted
at 7J. The sules of the week amount to 32,000 bales.
Consols 95$.

The 'Torpedo affair’ is again beforo the public, nnd
an attempt has been made during the week to fix the
crime of making it on ‘One-eyed Thompson,’ but I
think it will fail.
The seizure of the brig Ksto Boyd, yesterday, caus
ed some excitement. She was evidently intended for
Hayti, but the Expedition of which aha formed a part,
may have been connected in aome way with the Cu
ban affair. The arms and Htuunition wero to have
gone on board to-day. She was freighted for Port au
Prince. Another vessel is closely watched, but lias
notyetbeen seized, and it may not become necessary
to do so.
The fulfilment of a prophecy is now watched with
some curiosity. It seems that an old lady predicted
that if it rained on Ascension Day, It would rain for
forty days afterwards. This day occurred on the 8th
of May. and strange to say, it has rained more or less
every day since. The old lady says this never fails
to be the case.
The Democrats are trying to effect a compromise,
and heal their differences. A convention has assem
bled at Tammany two evenings—the first one nearly
broke up In a general row, hut last night they organ
ized and appointed a committee to draft an address
and resolutions. The notorious Ryndera is among
them, and they must succumb tu him so long as they
tolerate his presence.
The extraordinary passago of tho Asia (under ten
dnys to Boston) has created no little conversation, and
it is supposed that the machinists here must go to
work aud prepare for another ateamer to heather.
The Asia is the u ndisputed champion of the seas. The
truth may as well be told flret as last—we caiiuot com
pete with Scotchman in the manufacture of machine
ry—hut it is a curious fact that with the same mate
rial and tlie same workmen here, we could not turn
out such machinery. There is no mistake about this.
But the cause is as yet little more than speculation.
The arrivals at this port lust week numbered 14,489

Dtucli sickness, but 23 cases of cholern (fatal) occurr

kept for some time at the quurant'ne. We have had
quite aiarge importation of die swell mob from Lon
don lately, but the*' were described to the police from
the other side, end many of diem are nbw in the
Tombs. 340 prisoners are now confined there, which
is a larger number Uian it has contained for some
time past.
Paez, |the Venezuelan General, is expected here
this week, and preparations are progressing to receive
him with all the honors.
The return trip of the Atlantic, now two days out,
begins to cause speculation; confidence in her speed,
however, seems to have decreased. The accident on
her outward passage is attributed to her having been
taxed beyond her power, and many think great care
fulness will be exercised on the return trip. Thirteen,
fourteen and fifteen days are named.
CHARLEMAC.
Sugar Drainage Cate. The U. 9. Supreme Court
that, oil Wednesday last gave a decision in favor of
T. VV. Brune, et at., meicliaota of Baltimore, in the
important revenue case before them, which involv
ed the construction of the provisions of the present
tariff relating to duties on sugars imported into the
United States. The decision of these cases deter
mines a controversy which bus been for some time
pending between the sugar importers and the govern
ment, arising from the tHCt that sugars from the West
ludies almost invariably suffer groat diminution in
quantity*» from drainage, during the .voyage ot im
portation, by menus ot which the actual weight, at
the time ol entry at the custom house, falls short of
the invoice weight, on the average, five per cent. The
importers cluim chat, in consequence ot this diminu
tion, the duty should be levied by the custom house
officers, not otf the weight as stated in the invoice, nnd
which represents the quantity shipped, but on the
actual weight of the sugar at the time it reaches the
port of entry.
The Secretary of the Treasury, on the contrary,
insisted that under the provisions of the tariff', which
requires the duty to be assessed invariably, and in all
cases, upon an amount equal to the invoice value,
sugars thus imported should pay duty according to
the weight specified in the invoice, without regard to
the fact that for every hundred pounds of auger upon
which duty is paid, only ninety-five have really en
tered the country.
A similar cose, that of Messrs. S-outhmayd, of New
York, was decided at the same time, in which the re
duction in the weight caused by drainage was over
JO,000 pounds. It was intended to test the question;
and, os large and numerous claims are held to abide
its re'sulst, the decision of the Supreme Court is look
ed for with great interest by the pnrties concerned.
An Abolition “Miiaa.”
The Boston Mail states that Abby Folsom, was for
ciblyand ignominious ly dragged from the Abolition
meeting at Cochituafe Hall, on Monday evening, and ta
ken to tho police office, where, after a brief duress, she
was liberated by the Capta n of the night police. The
outrage was committed, it is said, at the instigation of
the Garrison clique, for whom Abby has labored so
long and so effectually. The papers which belong to
Abby's party are making a terrible cackling ovor the
affair.
Horace Greeley’s Veracity.
It will be remembered by our readers that the Tri
bune denied having published the Swisshelm letter
against Mr. Webster's private character. We stated
at the time that we could not fully credit the denial
of the editor. We find tile following paragraph in
reference to the matter in the Baltimore riun ;
Mre. Swisehelm —The filthy slander of Mrs. Swiz
zle-’ein upon Mr Webster did appear in the evening
edition of tho New York Tribune, but was suppressed
in the regulur morning issue. The presumption is
then, that it slipped in without scrutiny on the arrival
of the mail.
Those who choose to do so, may give Mr. Greeley
the benefit of the presumption. For our own part,
we do not consider him entitled to it. We have Been
so many “ slips" of this kind in the Tribune, that we
have long since ceased to believe the assertions of its
Editor, unless supported by corroborative testimony.
Singular Trance.—At the village of Farrington,
(Eng.) situated about nine miles from Bristol, on the
road to Wells, a young woman named Ann Cromer,
the daughter of a master mason, now lies in a com
plete state of catalepsy, in which extraordinary trance-
like condition, should she survive till next November,
she will have been for no less than 13 years. During
the whole of this extended period she has not par
taken of any solid food, and the vital principle has on
ly been sustained by the mechauical administration of
fluids. Although reduced almost to a perfect skele
ton, her countenance bears a very placid expression.
Her respiration is perceptible, her hands warm, nnd
she has some in iication of existent consciousness.
Upon one occasion, when asked if suffering from pain
to squeeze the handa of her mother, placed inheis
for that purpose, a sligilt pressure, the mother avers,
wns plainly distinguishable; and frequency when
suffering from crump, she has been heard to
make slight moans. About sixteen weeks after tlie
commencement of her trance she was seized with the
lockjaw, which occasions greut difficulty in affording
her nourishment. The unlortunate young woinau is
25 years of age, and has been visited by a great num
ber of medical gentlemen, who, however, hold out no
hopes of her ultimate recovery.

England and France—Another Insurrection Ex
pected.—'The latest news from Paris, by telegraph to
Liverpool, received by the Asia, says.
“The order for foe recall of foe French envoy was
issued in the absence of foe President, and without
his knowledge or consent. He had left for Fountain-
hlenu. Before he went a general question hnd been
put to him, whether he would not recall Drouyn de
Lhuon, in case Lord Palmerston-hould offer -ome in
sult to Fr.utdt. Tim President, of course, generally re
plied in foe affirmative. During his absence the Min
isters assembled, and then, in company with a non-of
ficial personage, the letter of recall was concocted.
The President, on his return, heard of it with deep
emotion. The Nationnle says the rupture can lead to
no serious consequence. The first object of tlie re
call is foe revenge of the Orleanist party again.-t
Lord Palmerston, nnd foe second to take France from
tho only constitutional power of Europe, and to throw
her on font of Russia A11 the opposition papers,
without exception, speak to the same effect. The
Press, in particular, upholds the English Allialnce.ac-
knowledging that hut for Englnnd there would have
been an invasion of Fr. ucc immediately after Februa
ry. 1848.
“The Courier Franeais pretends font a plan of a
general insurrection has been settled to break out on
the passion of the electoral law. This paper passes
for being the organ of the commander of the forces."
During the excitement at Havana, occasioned
by the landing of Lopez many instances of patriotism
are said to have occurred among foe old Spaniards in
Havana. One of them, who keeps a small tieuda, or
drinking shop, near tho mole, is reported to have
pluced $200,000 at the disposal of foe Captain General;
and another, a rich merchnnt, reputed to be woith
half a million, ottered his casli box, and the services
of seven hundred brave Biscayans. The first was
immediately appointed a Captain, and the other a
Colonel, in foe new militia regiment.

Revolting Disclosures as to a Burial Place.
—Potter s Field, at New-York, whero are buried the
poor paupers from abroad, and all who cannot afford
to bury themselves, is become so disgusting and in
tolerable a nuisance, font the Grand Jury have made
it a subject of presentment—calling upon foe com
mon council to atop further interments, as it ascertain
ed the number of corpses are alrendy seven thousand
to the acre ! Horrid. The Presentment says:
“The thin soil is trenched for foe reception of foe
dead, and tiei s of seven or eight coffins are piled one
on another, up to nnd above the surrounding surface.
Over the tops of these a little earth is thrown, hut s.i
partially, that frequently tlie ends, and in some cases,
foe tops of coffins are left exposed to view. It need
hardly be added, that these inounda of putrefaction,
sprpad out upon foe luce of a rock to tho action of
the sun, infect the atmosphere with a pestilential ef
fluvia highly injurious, not ouiy to tho fourteen hun
dred persous in foe public in-titutious on foe Island,
hut to tho surrounding neighborhood to a great dis
tance.”
A black l’rinin Donna, is the last new musical

Havuna, is foe first singer to foe Queen ot 9pain. 9he
has n magnificent soprano voice, whose notes, vibra

dium, have in the low tones foe masculine ring of foe
contralto. She is going to London.
Lynch Law in Missouri. Recently, at Liberty,
Clay County, Mo., a Mrs. Colonel Allen, while sleep
ing in her bed ot night, was struck across foe face
with an axe, und dangerously but not fatally injured.
One of-her negro women name Anice, confessed foe
crime, and said that she had been instigated to it by
another slave, a man named McClintock, who prom
ised to help her, aid, with tlie moucy they wonld get,
take het to California. After this coui'ession, a meet
ing of the citizens of Liberty was held, und it was sol
emnly resolved to bang Anice. 9he wns accordingly
executed, and, afterwards, it was concluded font Mc
Clintock should also be hung. This sentence was also
carried out.
jrjp’We find the following statement in tlie papers,
respecting foe burning of foe Governor's house, at
Cardenas;
About sunrise, a torch was lighted by Gen. Lopez's
own hands, against one of tlie doors of tlie Citadel,
and soon the building below was in flames.
We were shown a letter from a prominent Louisi
anian to Gen. Lopez, and who waa of General L.’s
party on foe occasion, in which foe writer remarks
“the tiring of the building wus not by your orders."
The letter was written on board the Isabel.
without a lively symputliy for the people of that
country. 9ituuted at a remote poiutof observation,
foe course of events in France, since foe revolution
of 1848, has presented u panorama, as it were, of the
common growth of civil and social evil. We have
been compelled to look on and see tile nefarious eys.
torn of political intrigue by which power is ever steal
ing from the many to the few ; and it will be strange
indeed, if some of us do not speedily witness once
more foe rough und unceremonious manner in which
is sometimes recovered by foe many from the
hands of the few who prostitute it in to their own
selfish ends
The government party appears to be impelled by
an inexorable necessity to precipitate the monarchi
cal elements to an issue, in advance of foe effect
which ought first to be cleurly produced on foe pub
lic mind, to ensure success. This necessity may be
the means of developing to foe apprehension of the
French people tlie stupendous fraud which the wily
monarchists arc plotting and consummating; aud may
serve to introduce a proper appreciation ot foe sain,
tary axiom, that “ foe price of liberty is eternal vigi
lance."
Tlie most recent demonstration of the utter dis
esteem into which republican principles have fallen
ich the government party, is foe attempt to violate
the suffrage. The very suggestion of this thing be
trays foe corrupt design, and the audacity with which
has been brought forward, develops the inordin
ate appetite for foe imperial. If pressed by necessi
ty thus to hasten foe ulterior purpose by which the
President has been manifestly governed, he will be
the victim of an unholy ambition; if he is forcing
