THOMPSON, EDITOR. t n n m a: Daily Paper, 81,00:::::Tri weekly ,1// veto Advertisements appear in loth pupa ARRIVAL OF THE $200 Steam Ship T C !! mmm A T L A N Four U:ivm Enter from Europe. Tli* steamship Atlantic arrived on. Sunday after noon, having mmlo the passage in n little more tlian eleven days from Liverpool, Going the shortest ever made between the two porta, by. over twelve hours. She bring* intelligence to the 29th of May inclusive, tour day* later than the America. She had 73 pas- senders. Among the passengers me (1. \V. Kendall, ol the N. O. Picayune, and Mr. A. Dudley Mann, who went out as special agent of the Government during tlte late revolutionary struggle in Hungary. It is said that the Engines of the Atlantic worked admirably i not the slightest disarrangement of the machinery having occurred. The Canada arrived at, Liverpool on the 86th. 'idlemisunderstanding with regard to the Greek question had nuthenn arranged. All was tranquil at Paris, mid no apprehension of mi outbreak appenred to be entertained. The debate on the electoral law had not concluded. The bill was expected to pass entire in the course of the week. Tlie wound of the King of Prussia was more se- lious than nt first supposed ; but no fatal result was anticipated. The Viceroy was to have left Galway on Saturday, the 1st June, on the experimental trip lo America.— The mailbags were to he conveyed hy express, and I,he run front Dublin to Galway was to be performed in eight hours and a half. It was reported that 80 berths had been taken, which nt £25 each passenger, would amount to £2000, mul it is calculated thr.t the ship’s expenses would not exceed £1200. The rail way works are in a stale of greut forwardness.— There are upwards of 5000 laborers employed upon them. , , , , , . Lord Chnnceller Cottenliani has tendered Ms res ignation. It was thought that the Great Seal would he put into commission. A Mr. Hell has achieved n new discovery in the science of lerostation—that of controlling, directing, or steering a balloon. On Friday evening the appear- eneo of nbnlloon of a singular form traversing the metropolis, occasioned some sp iculation ns to whet her the frail car, from its oscillating gyrations, con tained nil animate or inanimate seronaut. The occu pant of the car was the gentlemen above mentioned, who manoeuvred his bark through the realms of air with a dexterity that puts all his contemporaries in the shade. The ascent was made about six o'clock, mid the descent took plnce nt Essex, with the result favorable to the intrepid aeronaut, but causing the loss of life of one who hud bravely and kindly hastened to tlie rescue of a fellow creature in his perilous des cent from the regions above. A marine report received by tlie Lisbon mail an nounces that a heavy gnle from the westward proved very destructive to the shipping on the const of Spain nud Portugal, twenty sail of ships hnving been lost, hmongflt them e.

A letter from Dessau, dated tlie 22d, announces the commission of n brutal act of profanation perpetrated upon tho Inst remains ot her late Royal Highness the Dut liesa. It appeors that some miscreantsbrokeinto the mnily vault in the church ot Tcssnitz, burstopon the coffin, and divested tlie mouldering body of its last vestments. It is stated that the children of Kossuth have been permitted by General Unyuau to join their parents in Asia Minor. A Vienna letter in tlie Times Bays : “ The Pesth correspon dent of Lloyd relates that Hayuau, having sent for the children, addressed the younger in German. The reply was iu the Hunga rian language. On seeing that the Commauder-Tn- Chief did not understand him, the boy spoke French, remarking that every General must certainly under stand that language. Kossuth’s offspring could not be induced to utter a single word in Gorman.” Lord Ashley was to bring on liiB motion in the House of Commons for the total abolition of Sunday labor in the Post office, on Thursday tlie 30th ult. At n fire in the town of Clonmel, Ireland, a whole family, seven in number, were burnt to death, they sleeping in n room, the window of which was grated with strong iron bars. Their retreat by die door was •cut off hy the fire. Several fruitless attempts were mode to wrench the bars. Finally the family, one by one, fell to the lloor nud perished. France. The discussion of tlie electorial law in Paris is proceeding to the satisfaction of the abso lutist party. The second clause, requiring three years residence is now under consideration. All the proceedings are marked with mi exaggeration even of m uni galvanic absurdities. Confident m their large ma jority, tlie Ministerial party acknowledge no res traint, but manifest a determination, which is perfect ly sublime from its open uuconscientiousness, to set every thing at defiunnee which is not according to "their own will. “ I have been told,” suid M. Thiers, after he had exhausted every expression of scorn and hatred against the democrats, “ihntwo dure not at tempt’ to violate the laws, and you will see whether we dare not.” Coupled with speeches such ns these we have also announcements of the further steps ot arbitrary re pression that are contemplated by Louis Napoleon and his Ministers, so soon ns the electorial bill is passed.— indeed on tins point what may almost lie called a regular programme has been issued. It includes a law on the clubs ; a law regulating the domicil of for eigners ill France; a law restraining the “licentious- lies" of the press (the Government themselves being the judges ot whet is licentious) :'nmi tin#completion of the law on transportation. These, however, are to be nierely preliminary measures. They are to oc cupy She Chamber till July. A recess of 6 weeks is then to take place, and iu October the grand stroke of all is to be performed, namely,, the immediate revison of the constitution by the present Assembly. If these pluns have no other merit, there is at least something line in Louis Napoleon and his Ministers and the “pres ent” Assembly deliberately announcing what they in tend to do with regard to the people of France five months lienee. Prussia.—Berlin, May 85.—The official report of the king's health for last night and this morning are neteoluvorabie; some degree of lever has set iu, and the wound it.-el I is swollen and inflamed. Tho criminal, Sefeloge, is coufnied in the strongest part of the Stadtvogtei prison, called the lUesenburgb, and special measures of precaution are adopted both to prevent any attempt to escape or to commit sui cide. lie is watched by two police officers, and, ns usual in cases of murder, is heavily ironed. He lias re covered from the effect of tlie sword wound on the head nud the blows he received from the bystanders before lie could be rescued from them. He expresses no repentance of his crime; on the contrary, lie has regretted that lie did not succeed in his design. Spain. According to the Madrid journals of the 19th May reports ot a Cnvlist movement were be coming more current iu Madrid. It was Enid that at the period of the Queen's accouchment a general rising would take place throughout the kingdom. The Mississippi Vniicy. Tlie vast interests (says the Mobile Herald)—agri cultural, commercial and manufacturing—which are centered in the valley of the Mississippi, serve to di rect attention more and more to the various phenome na presented hy the father of waters and his tribu taries. Each returning year gives additional force to the settled conviction that artificial means must he resorted to to deerensetho immense volume of water that flows through Ihe channel, and thereby lessen the chances of overflows, which of late years have been of frequent occurrence and destructive in their ef fects. It is seen that us levees are extended, circum scribing the waters, the volume becomes elevated, clearly showing that unless outlets are provided for the re jundancy,‘ disastrous overflows must be the an imal result. But whereto begin, orliow toTiegin, are questions not easily'settled. Even gentleman qt high scientific attainment differ materially, on points impor tant to be considered in presenting uny plan for obvia ting the threatened (lunger. As an illustration, Pro- lessor Rogers, in n late geological lecture at tlie Smith sonian Institute, estimated the area drained by tlie Mississippi river at 300,000 square miles, and the tolal nmonnt of water discharged per annum nt 8,092,118,- 9-10,000 cubic feet. He also estimates the sedimentary matter held in suspension at. about one twelve hun dredth part, by meusure, of the whole volume of wa ter discharged per annum. The alluvial deposits in tlie delta, left by the Mississippi and its tributaries, lie supposes to have n meun depth of fifty feet, and, there fore, the least possible time, upon these hypotheses, required tortile deposition of the delta would be 13,- 618 years. Tlie water discharged in the same time would fill a sea 850 miles square and one mile deep. These data are widely different from tlie estimates of gentlemen of, perhaps, higher authority. Dr. M. TV. Dickerson and Andrew Brown, in their report to the American Association for tlie Promotion of Science, in 1848, put down the aggregate quantity of water discharged at 14,883,360,636,880 cubic feet, while Mr. Albert Stein, of this city, estimates it at 33,732,874,000,000 cubic feet; the extent of the Mis sissippi valley being put down by the same gentle man nt 1,210,000 square miles. According to Mr. Stein, the mean annual quantity of water which falls in the whole valley drained hy the Mississippi, is esti mated at. 36 inches, which, by calculation, irives 101,- 198,592,000,000 cubic feet, one-third of which is as sumed to be discharged by the river and tlie other two-thirds disposed of by evaporation. Mr. Stein also estimates the solid matter held by the water nt 11.244,288,000 cubic leet, the depth of tlie alluvial formation at, 1056 feet, and tho time required to form the present delta 35,605 years. Mr. Stein, for the past year or two, lias written for DeBow's Review a series of interesting and valu able papers on tlie various subjects connected with the valley of the Mississippi, the rivers, &c., sub jects tliut mu6t of necessity force themselves on pub lic attention. All recent observation hy scientific men lias established the fact that tlie bed of tlie Miss issippi river has for years been gradually rising, thus rendering the peril more and more imminent from nnnual inundations. Correspondence of the I hiladelphia Evening Bulletin. Interesting Commercial Statistics. Washington, June 5, 1850. I have applied to tlie latest and most authentic re cords, Treasury reports, Parliamentary returns, &c., to ascertain the condition of tho commerce on this continent, and have succeeded in obtaining the sub joined statements. The States of Central and South America are destined to play a conspicuous part in tlie . minis of trade hereafter, and every thing that tends to throw light upon their political and commer cial condition, is not only sought after with avidity, hut is read by all clases with particular interest. Tlie last steamer from England, brought us many glowing newspaper speculations, with regard to these “sparse ly populated colonies and independencies," and not exaggerated accounts of their value to European markets, should the American Senate take a proper view of the subject, and ratify tlie Nicaragua treaty.” That convention having been confirmed, will natu rally open- a new chapter in American maritime affairs, and the English journalists are not wrong in ascribing as much importance to these insolated States as they are given credit for. Annexed will be found the vnlue or the exports from this country and Great Britain to South America, and a statement of the population of the several districts according to llumbolt’s calculation G.

Add to above Central America $50,156 $112,480. Great Britain, it will be seen, supplies manufactures, Sic, to the amount of $40,000,000, while the whole of our exports are computed by official returns for 1849, at less than $8,000,000. Now, it is no less remark able, that of this $40,000,000, thirty millions are paid to our transatlantic rival for tlie growths and pro ducts of this country, being for fabrics from our own cotton, which were sent to British looms, nnd then returned for barter and exchange, past our ports, to those of South America. I draw attention to this fact, because itis one not generally konwu, and lienee occurs tho question whether it is not a singular policy that permits this result to us directly, by man ufacturing a portion of our cotton, and sending tnem thither for barter, instead of the looms of Great Brit ain. Appended will also be found the value of the ex ports to the Bermudas and the West Indies, including Cuba, which maybe mentioned iu this connection. These statistics show, if uotlung else, the vast field still open to competition in our own waters. Exports to By Great Britain. By United States.

During tho couple of weeks that I have been In Pa ris, sjiys the correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, every day they have been constantly expecting an in surrection. The electoral prospect, brought forth by the government, cannot be disassociated from the ideas of barricades nnd revolutions. This scheme ia an extensive interdict upon univorsnl suffrage, and is condemned, us being n high Inin-led outrage upon the spirit and letter of the constitution. The principul feature of this bill, is the inordinate requisition c.f making n residence in tlie sumo house for tlie three months immediately preceding the election, n condi tion of being a voter.—There is no doubt of its be coming a law. Meanwhile a military despotism reigns in Paris.— Every press, daring to speok with freedom against tho doingsof the GovernmentThas-been silenced, und hide* pendent editors are fined and imprisoned. During the two days that the bill has been under discussion, troops of the line, and a detachment of the National Guard, have been guarding tlie National Assembly. Still the people are perfectly tranquil; not even a “ Five la lie- piibliqiie" is heard. The government probably knows iiow to interpret this outward calmness. It has not neglected to fortify itself nt every point. Some 150,- DUO troops have been collected in and about the city. Anns linve been placed in tlie National Assembly, tlie Hotel deVille, the Louvre, nnd in many other public buildings. A stranger would think, from tliese peremptory measures, that the government is in pos session o + ‘ some secret advices of a deep laid plot of insurrection; but the better informed sny that this parade of military power is designed to intimidate the people, iu order that the government may carry out its designs upon tlie constitution. By tlie next steamer, you rimy possibly hear that uffoirs have reached a crisis. Onward. Tlie United States is net the only nation tlint is de monstrating to the observing world that the spirit of the age is progressive in a very eminent degree. Tur key, like Gliddon's mummy, is coming out from that oriental embalmaturc in which its energies have been wrapped up for centuries, and in all probability, like the mummy aforesaid, will establish that dignity of sex which will redeem tho luxury nnd effeminacy of nges. Turkey, looking to tlie honors, achievements, nnd emoluments of civilization, is adopting progres sive measures for establishing tlie occupant in the possession of the land; and lias moreover, extended the privileges of religious toleration throughout the country, thus taking tlie lead of not a few of tlie European States. Sardinia is also taking a lesson from the free polity of tlie age, and has by recent, parliamentary enact ment placed the ecclesiastical in proper subjection to the civil power; or rather, thrown over tlie religious world the common muntle of State protection, tlmt nil may enjoy equal privileges. In tlie process of events under such movements as these, some things wilitranspireamongsthitherto privileged classes tbut will arouse unpleasantfeelings at first, beyond doubt; but as the people recognise the salutary character of such action as this, they will promptly exhibit their hearty concurrence with it. In China there are also indications of a more libe ral spirit; though in that country it will of course take a Chinese method of dis playing itself. Once, how ever, put ill action; once quickened by the energy of that spirit which is now moving upon the vast mental chaos that lies beneath tlie broken, artificial surface of society, even China witli its myriads may yet at no distant day, partake of the blessings and privileges of popular independence and republican liberty.—Ball Sun. Washington, June 10. Mr Clay was attacked with sudden indisposition yes terday, which greatly alarmed his numerous friends.— He is much better this morning. There was a Cabi net meeting held yesterday, at which the Compromise plan of the Committee of Thirteen was the subject of deliberation. The Cotton Crop.—We have had the opportunity of'perusing two letters, received by a mercantile house in this city, from correspondents who reside near Grand Gulf, Miss. The writers sny: “The riv er will keep up too late to allow any tiling to be done on the rich low lands and in our hill lands ; in places tlie crops are truly bad. In some districts they seem to be doing pretty well. The report of great des truction to the crops, altough true in particular in stances, are generally partial; if it were not so. tlie cot ton crop would be no corp at all. 1 heard to-day from Copiah county ; the crops there are better.” One gentleman's overseer writes him that he has to plough up a ninety acre field, whic i the owner saw about a week before, and it was then looking well. It is no (V all dead. Another planter talks seriously of plough ing lip his entire crop and putting it all in com. “An other planter was telling me last week of a field of very fine cotton which he had, nearly knee high. To day he is ploughing it up nnd replanting. The cut worms are eating up the repluuted cotton as fast ns it comes up. Tlie accounts are all unfavorable, but the above are specimens of the worst.” N. O. Picayune 8th. Accident from Camphene.—Another melancholy accident from the incautions use of camphene occur red Friday night about 9 o’clock near the comer of Spring and Wooster streets. A servant girl named Is abella Foster, in the family of Mr. Fowler, was filling a lamp with camphene, when the latter caught fire und a violent explosion ensued, setting fire to girl’s dress, and frightening her out of her wits, li state of delirious excitement she run from the base ment into the back yard, thence through the open hall into Spring street. Her wild shrieks soon brou ght out a multitude of the citizens, who eagerly hastened to her relief, but before the flames were extinguished nearly all her clothing, including her shoes, was con sumed.—Tribune. Tlie poor girl died this morning. BAVAsysrASL Saturday Morning,' June Hi, 1 S50i Total. An Arrest. Ail individual who calls himself John Kenki.y, was arrested yesterday, hy Justice P. M. Russell, nud Officer W. Russell, charged Vritli having insulted several Indies iii the street by inde cent exposure of his person. He was turned over to His Honor the Mayor, by whoih, we understand, he is to bn examined this morning. We are informed that this individual has been in the practice of thus exposing himself, and that tlie police have been on tlie look oilt for him tor some time past, but were unable to euteli him until yesterday ihorning. Wiuiliiiigtan Monument, Again. A writer in the Baltimore Bun revives the plan pro posed by us some time since, to tnko up a national collection, simultaneously throughout tlie Union, for the benefit of the Washington Monument fund. Al luding to the late resolution of the Board, liy which it is suggested to take up sucli a collection on tlie ap proaching anniversary of American Independence, tlie writer enys: Tlie occnson will be most appropriate for some tangible demonstration of a nation’s gratitude for the inestimable service rendered by the immortal Wash ington, nnd of respect for his memory. There would, too, be something highly becoming in this simulta neous contribution by every citizen of tlie U. Btntes to so noble und worthy un object. No doubt the present population of the Union ex ceeds twenty millions : a single cent, therefore, from each individual, would raise at once a sum exceeding two hundred thousand dollars—at two cents each a sum would be raised exceeding half a million. This sum can very easly be raised, If proper measures be ndopt<£for thnt. purpose, as for instance, if the head of every family in the Union should, on the fourth, call upon each member for a contribution ol two cents; tlie several contributions might then be submitted to some gentleman of the county town, to be by him i'or- wnrdedto the treasurer of the build ug committee. There cun be no doubt of the practicability of this plan, but we apprehend the time between this und tlie Fourth of July is too short in which to carry it out- In order to be effective, tlie arrangement shouid be general, and it should be known from Maine to Cali, forma, that on the day stated, such a collection would be taken up in every city, town, nnd village through out the confederacy. We would suggest thnt the day be postponed to the 22d Feb'y next, by which ample time would be given to disseminate the plan and arrange the details, so ns to curry it thoroughly into execution. Let the Board at Washington appoint the day, publish a programme of the mode by which the money is to be collected and transmitted to Washington nnd have it distributed throughout the country, nnd we have not the slightest doubt that the scheme would be success ful. Buch an arrangement would aflord the people of the whole Union nn opportunity of participating in this great nntionul work, and of manifesting, as one great family of freemen their common love and ven eration for the memory, of the illustrious Father of his country. There would be a moral sublimity in such an exhibtion of national sentiment that could not fail to be appreciated by all, while it would revive and strengthen the fraternal feelings whicli should per vade the breasts of all Americans, by reminding us of our common origin und destiny—of our joint partic ipation in the hopes of the future and the giorlts of the past. It is to be hoped that the board will see the proprie ty of adopting some such measure as thnt above sug gested. The brief resolution which they have passed recommending that collections be taken up on the ap proaching Fourth is wholly ineflicent. The people will scarcely become ndvised of their request by that day, and even those who do, will have no assurance that the movement will be general, consequently they will take little interest in the matter. Already sever al years have been consumed in getting the monument under way, nnd if tlie money for its erection is to be obtained in the ordinary way, by itinerant collectors, no one of the present generation will live to see it completed. The people regard the travelling agents of tlie Board almost in the light of tax gatherers, nnd even those who contribute to them, do so with a knowledge of the fact thnt a large percentage of the amount giv en, goes to defray the travelling and other expenses of tlie collector.. Besides, in this way, only a small por tion of the people have 411 opportunity of contribu ting. There is no necessity for adhering to this mode, while there are innumerable arguments that might be urged against it. We hope the press will move in the matter, when, we have no doubt, a more patriotic, practical, and expeditious means will be udopted for raising tlie funds for the monument. where the number, increased, and „ ,, rc „, prevailed. great ax c i t The General came forward and ml,I,,, pie in Spanish, which was translatedh” Cl1 P but wo were unable to catch tile worl Mr ' the General gave the people to Uni i!;’'.

Air. Coleman, of the Actor House, tins entered into a contract for the intro duction qt this gas into his establishment. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, re ferring to tho rumor that Air. Paine lmd sold liis ri/lit to the invention, says: Yesterday a great sensation was created here by the announcement, through letter, received from Wor cester, thpt the bargain hint been completed, nnd that several committees from gas works of various cities, had declared that thorn was no humbug in this mat ter. Mr. Paine has been very severely assailed, but Ilia skilllms triumphed, and liis name will he transmit ted to posterity as one ol the greatest discoverers of the World. In view of it we may anticipate the most wonder ful changes.

The Compromise in Nett1 York.—A letter from New- York, on Saturday evening, to tlie Pennsylvanian, says “ Petitions are in circulation to-dny, signed by mod erate men of all parties, calling upon our city delega* tiou in Congress, tuid our State Senators there, to vote lor the Compromise bill, framed by the committee of thirteen. I am told that arrangements are making to back up these petitions by a rousing public meeting.’. We understand from a gentleman, who lias just returned from Middle Georgia, that the wheat crop has suffered severely in that section from tlie rust. He says in many places entire fields have been destroyed by its ravages, and given it as his opinion that tlie crop in that portion of the State will be unu sually Bliort. We hove heard no complaint in Chero kee as yet. It is thought, hy our farmers, that the strop pi’ wheat will be a fair tale.—Him cold Pep. Too Hasty.—A young man in Albany, a day or two since, hailing front the west, stepped into a store to ask the privilege of pen and ink to write a short note, was allowed by the clerk to use liis desk. His writing done, he thanked them for the kindness and left. A few moments afterwards some $200 was mis sed from the desk; an officer was procured and tlie young man arrested nnd brought bnck to the store. Butin attempting to explain how nnd where the mon ey was situated, the clerk discovered thnt it was liis own fault, os the money was found covered up by n paper which he had curelessly thrown over it. u’iP’ Brown, Shipley &. Co.’s Circular, of the 28th ult., says: The latest advances from the U. States have pro duced a pretty general impression here that the last cotton crop will scarcely exceed two millions of bales while the accounts of the unpromising prospects for tlie next crop, from the lateness of the spring, ungeni- al weather nnd floods in various districts, have caused considerable excitement nud nttracted general atten tion to the cotton question. Tne recent advance in our market, and increased firmness in tlie trudewith Manchester, must bo attributed more to the appre hension of another short crop, than the confirmation of the great deficiency in the last. Siugnlar Discovery af a Treasury.—On the grand route of Pouille. in the kingdom of Naples, there was a statue of marble bearing this inscription hi the Nea politan dialect: “The first day of May, at the rising of the sun, I sliull have a golden head.” The statue lmd already stood there two hundred years, and no one iiad yet discovered tlie meaning of this mysteri ous inscription. A stranger (a Saracen, says Castelani in liis mcmoirs)pii6sing through tlie country, read tlie inscription and thought thnt he had divined its sense, but did not communicate to any one liis suspicious, The first of Aluy having already passed, he departed, hut the succeeding year he arrived in tlie country, on the Iasi day of April. The next morning he repaired to the spot before sunrise, und having remarked tlie spot on which fell the shadow of the head of the sta tue, at the precise moment when the sun arose about the horizon, lie dug up tlie earth there, nnd found immense treasuses. • The Nicaragua Treaty.— It gives us pleasure to state to our renders thnt authentic information has reached tliis Government of the full approval by tlie British Government of tlie Treaty happily concluded in this city between Air. .Secretary Clayton’ and Sir Henry Buhver, for the adjustment of all points of the Nicara gua question, as between tlie Government of the Uni ted States and that of Great Britain. Tliis Treaty, ns our renders generally know, was ap proved hy the Bennie of tlie United States several weeks ago. The ratification of it by the British Gov ernment may he expected here by one of the enrliest steamers; and upon the exchnnge of the ratifications of flip respective Governments, it will doubtless be im mediately officially proclaimed.—Nat.

The court, after reviewing the au thorities ou both sides, decided that the law lays down no regular form for an affidavit; that the affidavit made by the Spanish Consul in this case is sufficient; thnt an indictment would lie oil it, in case ofa charge of perjury ; and that there was evidence before the court nt the time of granting tlie warrant against Gen. Lopez, beyond the testimony of Mr. Luborde which justified the proceeding. The court was of the opinion that the affidavit justified tlie order of ar rest. Judge MeCnleb then stated, that from the busi ness before him it was impossible for him to sit nnd try this case—besides, he was physically incapable. He would, therefore, send tlie caso before a U. S. Commissioner, and he would name Mr. Baldwin. Mr. Hunton, the U. S District Attorney, regretted that the case could not proceed before the present tribunal. The Judge remarked thatit was not intended by the law that a preliminary examination should take place before the court, nnd a U. S. Commissioner had jur isdiction of the case at the present stage of the pro ceedings. The court hud only decided on the legality of tlie affidavit. Mr. Henderson questioned the power of the court to delegate a U. S. Commissioner to try the case. The Judge said he had no doubt on the subject, nnd that lie should make tlie order accordingly, and that if the counsel chose they might test the point. The counsel for tlie accused, nfter consulting together, withdrew their objections; and the court said the Commissioner mightnppointhis own time to proceed with the case, provided it wns agreeable to counsel. It was then agreed that the court before the Commis sioner should be organized at once, and for that pur pose repaired to tlie hu ge room up stairs; where the case of the burning of the ship Russia was tried. As Gen. Lopez rose to leave the room, followed by tlie Marshal, his counsel, and tlie Commissioner, flie crowd in the hull opened a space for them to pass through, and as soon us he appeared, they immediate ly gave three cheers, which were repeated again and again until he readied the room above, where the crowd immediately followed. As soon as Mr. Buldwin, the U. S. Commissioner, took his seat, Mr. Hunton rose nnd read the order ot the court, transferring thp case before the U. S. Com missioner. Mr. Henderson said he did not think there was aiy cliarge in tlie affidavit against tlte accused thnt a free man could be called upon to answer, but the matter had been argued and decided before Judge McCaleb, he would submit to its decision. After the court had organized, a bond for disap pearance of Gen. Lopez, from day to day, wus given in the sum of three thousand dollars, with Recorder Caldwell as security. Tlie court then adjourned un til Monday at 10 o’elock, A. M. The crowd followed the General into the street, where they ngain gave him three cheers, and the most eager curiosity pre vailed to get u look at him. They then followed him down to his quarters at the St, Charles Hotel, greut damage to the wheat.
