An interesting paper might bo written, by n com petent hand, respecting what we may call the “ Cu riosities of Science." There are hundreds of facts, familar to the explorer of nature, which would star- tle the ordinary reader from their apparent antagon ism to other facts. Thus, it a blackened enrd is placed upon snow or ice in the sunshine, the frozen mass underneath will gradually melt; while that by which it is surrounded is but little disturbed. If, however, the sun's rays, instead of falling directly on tho card and enow, are reflected from a metal sur face, an exactly opposite result occurs ; the exposed parts are the first to melt, and the blackened card re mains standing high above the surrounding portion. Another curious fact is that if bars of copper, zinc, brass, and bell-metal are heated and placed so as to cool cn blocks of lead, tin, or pewter, the bars are thrown into a state of vibration, and produce sounds similur to those of an ujolian harp. A blacksmith will tell you that he can press heat out of a piece of j run. by simply heating it with a hammer, until, at last, he will render it red hot and be able to light a match at it, but he will add that the same piece can not be made red-hot again by hammering, until it has been made red hot in fire, and brought back to its original expanded condition. The same principle which is atthe bottom of this curious fact enables fire to be obtained by the friction of two pieces of wood. Even unscientific readers are familiar with the fact that ice can be formed, in the hottest summer days, by chemical means ; but few are aware that water can be frozen in a vessel wlJch is at a red heat. Yet this astonishing experiment has been frequently performed. If a deep platina saucer is heated red- hot, and then water and liquid sulphurous acid, u£ch has been preserved in the liquid stato by a freezing mixture, is poured into the vessel, the rapid evapora tion of the volatile acid, which enters into ebullition at the freezing point, produces such an intense cold that ice is immediately formed, and being thrown out can be used to cool water. The experiment of jug glers have proved to all, that, under certain conditions the hand cun be immersed with impunity in melted metal. Little more is required than to rub the hands with soap so as to give them a polished surface, then to plunge them into a cold solution of water and sal-am moniac, and afterwards to put them into the liquid iron, lead, bronze, or other metal, moving them rap idly through it, though not too rapidly. The explana tion of this curious tact is this. When the band is plunged into melted metal the skin is not in contact with the metal, and therefore the heat incident upon the skin can arise only from that which is radiated from the metal. The moisture of the skin passes in fo the spheroidical state, and reflects the radiatingcal- oric, so that the heat is never at the baling point. Heat and light exhibit, in part, though transparent bodies, a very remarkable difference. Transparent alum, which is as clear as the clearest water, trans mits only twclvo per cent of heat, while rock crystal, which is not more lucid, transmits ninety-seven per cent of heat Black glass allows ninety per cent of heat to pass through it; while green glass, colored by oxide Of copper, and covered with a layer of water, will, though perfectly transparent almost entirely de prive the'solar ray of heat. On the principle of dif ferent colors the whole economy of Nature, in ref erence to the absorption and radiation of heat by the various kinds of flowers and plants, is carried on. Says a late writer : “Every tree spreading its green leaves to the sunshine, orexposing its brown branches to the air—every flower which lends its beauty to the earth, possesses different absorbing and radiating powers. The chalice-like cup of the pure white lily floating on the lake, the variegated tulip, the brilliant anemone, tue delicate rose, and the intensly colored peony, orduhlia, have each powers peculiar to them selves for drinking in the wurming life-stream of the sun, and for radiating it back again to the thirsting atmosphere.” Electricity also performs an important tunetiou in the growth of flowers, as is popular ly known by nctual experiment. In short, the world of science is full of curious facts, and not without a poetry of its own. Many an intellect that wastes its time in profitless mental speculations, or loiters life away in the perusal of trashy books, would find a new delight in tracing the wonder-working pro cesses of Nature, und learn, through revering Na ture, to adore Nature's God. Noble Sentiment* Nobly Expressed. Gov. Crittenden, of Ky., at a meeting recently held at Indianapolis, employed the following eloquent language in reference to the Union of these States, «s affected by a continual and irritating agitation of the slavery question: “What is to disturb the Union ? Our history (said Gov. Crittenden) is but a series of Providences from the landing of our fathers, fleeing from oppression in the old world, until, through a seven years' war. a government was founded to which Washington placed his signet, now numbering more than twenty millions of freemen—and out of this large number not a man is to be found who can say that his govern ment is oppressing him. Where shall we find such a Constitution as ours 1 And yet in the midst of all this there is the voice of alarm. What is the cause ?” “But suppose a dissolution of the Union. I, (eaid lie) in that event, could never again appear upon your sail with the kindly greetings that have welcomed me on the present occasion, fur disunion can never take place without war and bloodshed. He that would destroy the Constitution of the U. 8. would destroy the greatest blessings of liberty, morality and reli gion. Ho snid there wns a deep apprehension, on tbe part of the South, that such was the aim of many in our country. For himself, lie would rather be a hew er ot wood and drawer of water than to see the U- Jiion perish,for in it are garnered up the highest hopes of humanity. When it fulls, the earth will shake with the crash. He did not believe that the Union could lie easily dissolved, but by continued agitation, a thorn would be planted that would continue to rankle.— He believed the Union could not be easily destroyed; but it could be undermined. This continual agitation of tho question would vitiate the public mind, nnd one of the worst consequences of disunion would be real ized if the States should lose their sympathy and kind ness for each other; the withered dead limbs might remain attached to the body, or only remain bound together as the doctors bind the parts of a skeleton, when the heart that gave them life and animation, was pulsele'9 and dead.” Another Liverpool Packet.—The new ship now on the stocks at the yard of Perrin, Patterson & Stack, WilUnmsburgh, N. Y., Is to he called the Lady Frank lin, in honor of the devoted wife of the missing navi gator. It is intended for S. Thompson Sc Nephew’s "ne of Liverpool packets, and will he commanded by C’apt Yeaton, formerly of the Mnrahall line. The -Mp is 180 lost long; 40 orond; 83 deep ami about XU) tons burthen. 'She will b* launched shout the ■i-frer July ifist. Further Items by the Canada. The steamer Canada arrived at Boston about 7 o’clock on Wednesday. The following additional news has been sent on by telegraph. Very little credit was glvftn in England, to the report about the withdrawal of the Russian Envoy from Lon don. Tho Morning Chronicle says, however, that Baron Bruno w will leave London if the reply of Lord Palmerston to the Russian note is unsatisfactory. Trance.—On Wednesday, June 1, three paragraphs of the third article of tlio Electoral bill wbb carried by a majority of 415 to 178, all amendments, as on tbe preceding day, having been rejected. Immediately after the adjournment of the debate, ami in consequence of an angry personal discussion, two of the representatives, M. F. Bowvet and M. Roger Duward, fought a duel with pistols, without, however, any serious result M. Bowvet is one oi the most distinguished and zchIoub members of tho Pence So ciety. Forty-seven Socialists were arrested in Paris on Wednesday night. They were members of a secret society. A large quantity of ammunition was found In their posession. . , __ , The apprehensions of a rising of the people of Paris have died away, mainly, perhaps, owing to the tact that Gen. Changarnier makes it well known that he is fully prepared for such a demonstration, with 150,000 men at his command. The democratic journnis, gen erally, counsel patience and moderation. The negotiations on the Greek difficulty have not approached a conclusion. It is understood that the French cabinet insist on the execution of the London convention, pure and simple; but Lord Normanby is still lu Paris, and an ultimatum satisfactory to all par ties will, it is expected, be agreed on. Tbe latter opin ion prevailed on tbe'Bourse. A rumor is current that Gen. Lnfittc will shortly re tire from the Ministry. There lias been a reconciliation between Cnvoignac and tho Mountain—Girnrdiu arranging tho conces sions, and the newly created party will, it is expected act witli vigor. Girardin will shortly be returned for tho Assembly. His friends arc in trepidation, lest the sentence pending on him in the courts for printing a petition, without affixing the name of a licensed prin ter, will be one of imprisonment. The Paris correspondent of the London Times, of Friday, says, “a rumor just reached me, which, if it turns out to be true, is of importance. It is reported that the Emperor of Russia, after having received de spatches, announcing the solution of tbe question be tween the Greek and English governments, decided on gt once recalling his Ambassador from London. It is added that the bearer of the order went out of his way to commuuicate his despatches to the Russian Ambassador in Paris, who had received instructions either to retain or forward the despatch according to the circumstances in which he found himself.” Italy. The Archbishop of Turin lias been convic ted of violating the laws of the press, and sentenced to imprisonment, and a fine of 500 francs. His arrest was previously mentioned. Advices front Florence, of tho 21st, are that Lord Palmerston has addressed a note to the cabinet of Naples, on the subject ot the indemnities claimed by British subjects. The King is said to have consulted the plenipotentiaries of the great powers, who have declined to express an opinion, on account of the lute events ia Greece. Germany. Accounts from Berlin, of the 29th, are that Prussia will withdraw herforces from Schleswig but will not accede to the stipulation of the Congress of London. Denmark, on the other hand, refuses to accept tho proposition of Prussia, it is said, on the German question. Austria has exhibited n disposition to yield to the requirements of Prussia. Scene in the Senate. Monday, June 13. The compromise bill was taken up—the motion of Mr. Turney pending to strike out all that relates to Texas. Mr. Webster spoke briefly against the motion ; urg ing the expediency of an interposition by this govern ment between Texas and New Mexico. Mr. Seward followed in opposition to the bill. He attributed to it all tho delay in the transactions of the public business. lie supported the motion to strike out the slavery grounds. Mr. Clay warmly responded, and denied that this bill was the cause of delay in the public business.— He made the charge against the minority, who so long resisted the committee, and since then have procrasti nated by every means, its progress. Mr. Foote followed in reply to Mr. Seward, and was frequently called to order for his personalities. Mr. Turney then argued the motion to strike out Mr. Clemens moved to fill the'blank in the bill to be paid to Texas with one million. Mr. Benton replied to Mr. Clay, and defended the minority on the charge of delaying the public busi ness. He read from a speech of Mr. Clay’s, delivered in February last to show that tbe minority at this time occupied the same ground which Mr. C. occupied then. M. Clay rejoined to the remarks of Mr. Benton. Mr. Houston spoke in reply to some remarks here tofore made by Mr. Dayton. He said Texas had nev cr threatened to use military force. She had but a single commission, and his authority had been obey ed. But Texas was menaced with force, if she as serted her rights. Mr. Benton and Mr. Clay had some controversy in regard to the allegation of the latter, tlintMr. Benton was, lost November, opposed to the admission of Cali fornia. Mr. Benton denied it. Mr. Clay rend the letter from 3t. Louis, signed John II. Reed, stating that Mr. Benton had expressed these views. Mr. Benton hoped the letter would be entered on the journal. He proceeded to allege that Mr. Clay hadjdelayed the business of the Senate, and was orig inally in lavor of admitting California as a separate measure. But the Senator should not get off by bringing up an offset. Mr Clay.—I have no thought of getting off. Mr. Benton. You shall not, if you wish to.—rMuch laughter.] He would hold the Senator as the au thor of that letter, for he had produced it. He did not admit the Senator's right thus to arraign him for de laying business. The letter is an infamous calumny, and 1 thus brand it—and I brand it and the publisher of it. Mr. Clay. I repel with scorn and contempt the Sen ator's Insinuation against me. Mr. Benton. Oh, you may send it back, but you got it first. Mr. Webster. I hear with pain such offensive re marks. It is the duty of the chair to stop debates 011 personal matters. He could not sit here quietly and witness such breaches of decorum. Mr. Benton. Oh, it is all over. The Vice President said he did not perceive the ten dency of the remarks of the Senator from Missouri, and was notin the chair when the Senator from Ken tucky first spoke. Mr. Underwood took the floor. He did not feel like speaking after this scene. A motion was made to adjourn. It was carried— yeas, 30, nays 23. The Senate adjourned. CpFrom n tabular estimate n relation to tho E. Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, prepared by M. B. Prichard, Engineer of tlic Company, nnd published in the Knoxville Register, it seems that the prospects of the company are much better than mnny of tlio friends of the Road have apprehended. The estimate of the total cost of the Road is #1,130,000. Tlio resources of the company are put down at $507,550. leaving the amount of stock y«?k to be subscribed for $575,009, be ing anout seventy-five thousand doliara less than ap peared in former estimates. It seems also that the total construction of the Rond will cost the compnny something like six hundred thousand dollars less than Gen. Green wns to have received for it, according to the contract with him, which was recently rescinded. The Engineer states that if the iron lie delivered upon the road by the 1st of August, (and the Register thinks it will be,) the cars will be running’to Cleveland by the first of November, and to the Hiwassee River by the first of January next, as tbe contract for that section of the road is now in the hands of gentleman who not only hove energy and industry, but who can also command the menus to drive tho work forward with dispatch.—Atlanta Intel. Another California Wonder. The Rev. O. C. Whee ler, pastor of the 1st Bnptist Society of San Francisco, asked the trustees of that society, to reduce his sala ry from the 1st of April to the rate of $5,(XX) per an- uum, being just one half the sum generously tendered him. This is the greatest wonder yet from that won- derftil country. Alexandria, June 13—8, P. M. The prnyer of peti tioners to admit counsel in behalf of tho Church South was argued by Mr. Janney against, and Mr. Berry in favor of prayer. 'Pile case will ho argued to-morrow—Mr. Davis for the Church North, and Mr. Colt for the Church South. Washington, June 13, 8 P. M.—At the Washington Navy Yard, this afternoon, considerable excitement prevails in consequence of alleged tyranny over the crew, nnd a positive insult to a private citizen on board the steamer Vixen. An American sailor, of Bal timore, of good character, cut his finger off and threat ened suicide before lie would again sail in her. Tbe doctor demanded him to be sent to the hospital, and Commodore Ballard nobly interposed by giving his order to that effect, anil farther declared no man should be punished without his order. Tho sailor is now in the hospital. Orders have been received to discharge all : <uids, officers and men, from that ves sel. The Saranac is ordered here immediately for re pairs, and will arrive in a day or two. An Abstracted Man.—One who puts the bootfitting the right foot on the left, ties a stocking about his neck for a handkerchief comes in collision with peo ple as he passes through, the crowded streets, mistakes servant girls for their mistresses, goes into an eating house, eats a hearty meal, and walks out without paying the bar-keeper, lights his segar with a one dollar bill, lends his money to his friends and forgets which one of them borrowed it, gives his wife all the money she desires nnd never asks her how she is going to spend it, is indifferent whether he has any k buttons on his shirt or not, and don’t complain if bis collars are not properly dry. The weight of platinum, the heaviest known body in nature, is 435.000 times greater, bulk for bulk, than that of hydrogen gas, the lightest known body in nature. The New Bible Version.—Those persons attached to the Bnptist denomination, who Relieve in a new version of tho Bible, and substituting "immerse” for "baptise,” bad a meeting in New York 011 Monday evening, to form themselves into a permanent union, whose business will be to get out a new edition of the Bible, with the alteration proposed. Addresses were made by Rev. Messrs. Cone, Armatage, Wykoffand others. The sum of $5,640 has already been contri buted to further the “new version.” Rev. Dr, Cone was elected president of tho Union, and among the vice-presidents is Mr. Wm. Crane, of Baltimore. There nre numbers of dwelling houses now to rent in Cincinnati. Two years ago neither love nor money were sufficient to obtain one. Cincinnati, June 12.—Judge Bullock, at Louisville, gave iiis decision in the Lawrence case on Monday.— The particulars of it are yet fresh in the public mind The decision of the Court grants a divorce to Mrs Bailie Word Lawrence from her husband, G.

Tbe gangway phlnk d the " t<, ‘ steam,,. l»k s Scene in tbe Senate. We give place in another column, to a sketch of the disgraceful proceedings which took place in the Sen ate on Wednesday last. It is deeply to be regretted by every one that such scenes have become so fre quent in that body, and it is equally to be regretted that it should contain men who have ao little regard for the national honor as to allow themselves to give way on all occasions to their tempers and to indulgein lnnguage better fitted for the tap room- tliah the Halls of Congress. It would seem that Mr. BentOn Impell ed by a double motive,—liis personal interests in the California mines, and his inordinate desire to thrust himself forward as the champion of the opposition to Mr. Clay—has become not only forgetlul of all the proprieties of parliamentary debate but actually sceka every opportunity to get into angry collision with those who have the hardihood to support the compromise measure which he has so dogmatically denounced. In his late bout with Mr. Foote, ho wus excused by some, on the ground that tho Mississippi Hotspur wus himself not remarkably scrupulous in bis observance of the amencties of debate, and that when provoked, he was as prompt to give as to re sent insult. But in his attack on Mr. Clay, a gentle man no less distinguished for his courtesy and Wan ness of manner than for his great self command, and delicate regard for the rights and feelings of others, lie will have no such grounds of justification before tho country, anil his coarso, unprovoked attack wfl be characterized by honorable men of all purties as it deservos to be, as utterly unworthy the charnctcrof an American Senntor, or gentleman The outrage was more disgraceful for the fact that Mr. Clay was on,'bu7^ositivelyTefosedTo^have When c *"^ known to be in feeble health, so that he was physical- nl . _,., yt,uri B do with Tuesday Morning, June 18, 1830 tip The Brig 11. M. Charlton, Capt. Gilkey, for this port, wns wind bound at Camden, Maine, on the 10th inet. She had on board a cargo of Lime. Fibe.—About 12 o’clock yesterday forenoon, sever al bales of Cotton, laying before the Cotton Press of Messrs. Baldwin, took fire, probably from a spark, and damaged some ten of fifteen bales. But little alarm was given, nnd the Washington Engine was speedily on the ground, and the fire extinguished. We learn that the cotton wns insured. The “three Browns. A rather amusing case came up yesterdny forenoon before his Honor tho Mayor. It seems that on Sun day morning last, about 10 o'clock, as Mr. Joseph W. Brown, who is engaged as a fireman on board the U- S. steamer Monmouth, running between this port and Indian River, was carrying his trunk in the direction of the boat which was shortly to start on her voyage, he was overhauled by two persons calling themselves Tim and Dan Brown, who charged Mr. Joseph W. Brown with having stolen the trunk then in his possession and of which he claimed to be the rightful owner. Of course Mr. Brown indignantly repelled the charirei which was reiterated by Dan, and most emphatically substantiated by Tim. Browns No. 2 and 3 assuming to be city officers demanded of Mr. Brown No 1 his passport, in default of which document they arrest ed him, and with the aid of a watchman lodged him in the Guard House. At the Guard House the parties mutually recused each other, Browns No'. 2 and 3 charging BrownNo. 1 with larceny of tho trunk- while Brown No. 1 made divers charges of false accu sation, false imprisonment, &c„ against the said Dan and Tim, There being evidently a mystery about the matter, the parties were detained until yesterdny morning when they were brought before the Mayor for examination. His Honor soon got at the merits of the case, discharged Mr. Joseph W. Brown, and Inflict ed a fine on Browns No. 2 and 3 for wrongfully mo lesting a peaceable citizen. So far the matter was set. tied, but Mr. J. W. Brown the bona fide owner of the aforesaid trunk, felt himself too much agrieved, as in deed he had been, « to give it up so, Mr. Brown," and accordingly he sued out warrants yesterdny for tho arrest of his captors, the Browns No 2 and 3, who will have to answer at the proper tribunal for having illegally arrested and held in durance vile, him, the said J. W. Brown. General Taylor, a Sugar Planter.—President Taylor has recently purchased the splendid Sugar plantation of Capt. Fullerton, 25 miles from New Or leans, on the left banl? of the river—price $37,000.— The General means, it is said, to abandon his Cotton plantation, near Rodney, and concentrate his force on his new purchase. Jjp’ A Telegrap ,ic despatch, under date of June 11th, says: “Mr. Clay was out walking this morning bright and early. He has nearly recovered from the Cholera Morbus, and is quite unharmed by the speech of Mr. Benton. He will make no reply to the Colo nel’s personalities. His confidence in the Senate’s passage of the Compromise is strengthened by yes terday’s proceedings.” I3P The steam ship Georgia, Capt. Porter, from New-York, for Chagres, touched at Tybee on Sun day evening at 9 o'clock, receiving the mails and pas sengers from this city, and proceeded on her voyage. Murder. A murder was committed on Grand River, parish of Iberville, I,a,, on Sunday, the 2d inst., on the person of Capt. Samuel Ives, an old and respectable citizen. He was shot soon alter having risen from his bed, nnd lived but a. few moments. The murderer is supposed to be a man by the name of Alden Piper, a partner of the deceased, between whom there was some difficulty, arising from pe cuniary matters. Immediately after the murder, says the Plaquemine Sentinel, Piper left in a skiff up Bayou Grosse Tete, taking with him two negroes be longing to him i he had, moreover, made over hiseu- tireproperty to his brother a few days previous, as lias since been ascertained. Cotton Crop. Since publishing our last state ment of the crops of Mississippi, says the Jackson Mississippian, of the 17th inst., we have received let ters from about fifteen additional counties. We nre son y to Bay that we have never iri our life known a more gloomy prospect. We shnil not make 250,000 bales in the State—the number ought to be 700,000 at least. The Memphis Tbauedy. Wr published yester day a telegraphic account of an affray which occur red at Memphis on the 8th inst. By tlio New Orleans papers received last night, we learn that four persons, General Coe, Dr. Fowlkes, Mr. Gaines and Mr. Tniuo were killed. ProfkSsor Webster is said to he in good spirits; he has his meals from Parker’s hs usual, and enjoys excellent health and npetite. He is firmly of the opin ion that he never will be hanged. He rends a good part of his time in the Bible, and takes particular pains to mark, as lio goes along, all passagos referr ing to false witnesses and persccutorsof innocent men. His family visit him twice a week. -ESP The submarine telegraph between France and England will be completed about the first of July. Population of Charlestown (Maes,) 15,881-r-an increase of 5,897 over that of 1840. . ly unable to defend himself, even if he could have condescended to enter the lists of blackguardism with one who is so thoroughly versed in the practice of the Billingsgate school. It lias been hinted in several respectable quarters, that Mr. Benton has been put forward as the leader, or has assumed the leadership of the administration opp osition to Mr. Clay in the Senate. There are rea sons for disbelieving this assertion, while there are others that seem to give it color. It can hardly be supposed that the administration would seek a cham pion in its ancient enemy, or that such men ns com pose it would select such a man as Benton, in which to repose their confidence. And yet when it is recol- looted with what supple facility that Senator has made himself the scape-goat of every administration, from that of Gen. Jackson to the present, and with what unscrupulous boldness he has gone from one extreme of political principles to the other, in his devotion to the powers that be, it is not so wonderful a thing after all to find him in his present position. The Baltimore Clipper, an ably conducted, nnd highly consistent Whig Journal, having watched the progress oij^events, is of opinion that there has been a formidable conspiracy entered into against Mr. Clay, nnd that Benton has been constituted leader in the attack. Alluding to this combination, the Editor soys: Men must be blind who cannot see how the wires nre pulled nnd the puppets moved—nor can the de sign and object be mistaken. To perpetuate or ac quire power is the motive which governs the assault upon Mr. Clay; but the recoil upon those who aim the blow, will be annihilating. The people think cor rectly, and decide with discrimination; and it will be out of the power of official persons, or their subser vient editors, to so warp and bias public sentiment, ns to direct it against those who are spending their strength to rescue the country from impending dan ger, nnd to place the Union upon an imperishable foundation, if political leaders will rush upon the road to ruin, they will find few followers in their mad career—for devotion to country is stronger than at tachment to p,.rty. Trial of General Lopez—The Late Expedl tion. We recollect reading in Gen. Lopez’s address to the American people a paragraph in which he states that he had taken the legal opinions of some of the ablest jurists iu the country, and th at they had as- suredhim that no liability had been Incurred by those who had joined his expedition. We remarked then that it wns highly probable that all his proceedings had been conducted under legal advice, and with a view to avoid the penalty of our laws in case of failure. From the. character of the proceedings now progres sing in New Orleans, as well as from other facts that have come to our knowledge concerning the manner of the enlistment of the men which composed the expedition, we do not believe that any covictions can bo had under our laws. The crime perpetrated has been only half committed within our jurisdiction, and we do not believe that any evidence can be ad ducedto make out a violation of the law of 1818, on the part of Gen. Lopez or any of the men associated with him. The prisoners now in Cuba will be turn ed over to our government, but there will be no law to punish them for being found on board vessels that had cleared from our ports for Chagres, with tick ets for the passage in their pockets, or for joining a hostile expedition at the Isle of Woman when they found the vessels were not going to Chagres.— Those who fought at Cardenas may be identified and arrested—but there is no laws here to punish them for fighting in Cuba, nnd there will be no evidence to prove that they enlisted in this country and formed an expedition within our jurisdiction for the purpose of making war on that Island. The following account, given by a party of Gen, Lopez’s men recently arrived at Jacksonville, Flori. da, will throw some light on this branch of the sub. ject. From the statements of these men it would ap pear, that a portion of them, at lest, were innocent of any intention to violate the laws, and it is highlg probable that they were enlisted in the manner des cribed in pursuance of a plan adapted by the leaders, in the movement to avoid the liability of the law. We extract from the Jacksonville Republican,Qi the 13th. Tho men arrived at that place on the 12th, from Falatkn, and, preceded immediately to this city , on their wuy to their respective homes. The Repub lican says: Those who have arrived here form a portion of the Kentucky and Ohio regiment, which was mustered and departed under Capt. Hardy, in the Georgiann from New-Orleaps, This regiment left Cincinnati cn the 4tli of April in the steamer Martha Washington, the men having enlisted, under the terras of an ad vertisement published in the latter city, for Cehfoyrnia, for one year, and to receive seven dollars 1* month, nnd four thousand dollars at the expiration; of the time. The men paid their own passage down tp,New Orleans, with the promise that it was to be Refunded there, which was never done. Several fracases oc curred between them and the Captain because 0^non- compliance with this promise. The Captain provid ed for their board while they remained in New Or leans. Many of the men had families. These qn,d oth ers charged Capt. Hardy with the intention of invad ing Cuba, which he repeatedly denied, and sgfo he would suffer death rather than deceive them, \vith other similar expressions. About 250 was the number that left Cincinnati, which was increased to about 300 at New Orleans. Twenty or thirty, however, returned back because tlie Captain did not give bond and security which he liad promised for (heir pay. He promised fro give bonds nnd make eyery thing satisfactory at the Be lize, and that there point of destination in California would bo made known. The Kentueky regiment went in the Georgians, which left New Orleuna on the 25th of April. Hardy was the main agent. The party knew nothing of Gen. Lopez, and did not know him by sight Nothing positive was known untiltliey arrived at (he islanoof Conti, about six or eight miles from the main land of Yucatan, and thpn not until the Creoje hud arrived with Gen. Lopez, mid the Louisiana pud Ijjjssissippi regiment The Creoje took a smac|t on her way out, which was de tained for fear she tybuM communicate with Cuba. Col. Pickett next read foe proclamation of Gen. Lo pez, and tlio terms, which yyere that they should get $7 a month, and $4,000 at ' the expiration of twelve months, it successful. Col.

Prof. Webster’s Case. Grou^on which am trial is asked. Tho following are the points raised and argued by C. B. Goodrich, on the application for a writ of error in the case of Prof. Webster, at B01. ton, ns it came before a full bench of the Supreme Court, on Tuesday, in that city; The points raised were that the Supreme Court lud no jurisdiction in the case, and had no right to tiv Webster; that neither judgement nor sentence were in .iccordance with the requirements of the statute that.no record of toe ordering of the case to the 4u' preme Court by the Municipal Court appears- that legal service of the indictment does not appear to have been made; that the sentence was not in accordance with the statute, in saying that said Webster should be taken from the jail from whence he came and thence to the place of execution, which is in the pre cincts of the jail; that the Municipal Court not hav ing performed the proper primary proceedings in the case, the Supreme Court had not yet acquired juris diction ; that the Supreme Court had not yet been furnished with the records of the Municipal Court in the case—the simple endorsement of the clerk of the Municipal Court upon the indictment not being suffi cient to give the Supreme Court jurisdiction. Professor Webster tells the Court that he is not in fluenced by a deeire of delaying the execution of judgment by this movement, but by the advice of his counsel, that the errors presented are of such grave importance that it was proper they should be brought before the Court Liberty at Rome.—The same night that the house of the British Consul's Secretary was broken into by a band of Government police, a band of ten carabineers broke into the house of Signor formerly tutor to the Throgmorton family, and late under-secretary of State, rumaged his boeiw,pd pa pers, and carried of many works.
