Onr telegraphic dcapntchoA fram Now York. which wo published last evening, broadly Insinuate that 0110 of 'ho friends of the nbditcied man. Juan Francisco Rey alias Garcia, n Spaniard named Mnrhin, deceased. wan annas- nitrated boro on the 8tl» nil., and ifntnto out Fill- gencio l.lorcnte. tlifl individual who has figured to conspicuously in tin* examination before J tidgo Bright and Commissioner Cohen, an the perpetra tor nml instigator of tho > vilo deed. To he nqiionmish nr mealy-mouthed in a case of alleged murder mtch anthls.no matter wlm may Miller by implication, would, even in a private eitiaen, ha carrying forbearance to the extreme of weak ness, but in a journalist it would he a shameful hetraval of his trust. Wo do not intend to in cur the cen«ure. Thn N. Y. Post has published n Inter from Mn rhin, thn deceased man. dated New Orleans, j^o 7ill July, giving the editor of n journal in Now York, lor which he was the agent hero,his " opin ion” on the threat made by Llorcute to take Ids li e. The very next day, the 8th, Macliin was found with bis brains blown out. Wo have con sulted our files and find that on the Dili onr city i itelligonce recorded the suicide of E. I*. Macliin said to buvn destroyed himself through love and jealousy. We know hot what evidence was ad duced at the coroner’s inquest held on the occa sion.' It may have been eonelneivn ns to the mo tive for tin* alleged suicide, returned by the jury in the verdict, and it may h ive been the reverse —tho evidence, fur example, of an interested party, which sufficed in absence of nny accuser. Now. however, that we have it broadly surmised on documents of undoubted authenticity—wo mean thb two letters of tho deceased, written to itis friend in New York, both animadverting on the threat of death to him by l.lorcnte—we in- rist that there arc grounds sufficient to enable our magistrates to institute n rigid investigation into the whole nffiir. An affidavit should bo forthwith made by one of the friends of the de ceased. deposing that be has good reason to be lieve that Macliin was foully dealt with. The presumptionprimn facie that Macliin did not com mit suicide is very strong. Onthe 7th lie writes “opinions and ndvico,” the natural offspring of a mind cool and collected, and the next day. with out any extraordinary incident, that we know of, intervening, lie blows out bis brains! Macliin was nno of Rev’s alias Garcia’s friends and confidents. l.lorcnte is traced to their society, alternately whispering to them Ids pernicious counsel*, and tnlitnid.\iiug them with ills dark threats. Tho two unhappy men are deeply mixed up with political refugees, or with schemes for the political regeneration of Cuba, their adopted country. How far this Liorente is identified with the accredited Spam.-h ng»*nt iu N. Orleans. Don Carles do Espann, we leave to the decision of thn law authorities, who have undertaken to investigate the case ofthc alleged abduction. We will not pre-judge. Pearls to be Treasured up in the Casket or Memory.—At first setting out upon n vicious course, men are a little nice, and delicate, like young travellers, who at first are offended at every speck of dirt tlial lights upon them, lint after they have been accustomed to it. and have travelled a good while iu foul ways, it eeaseth to he troublesome tube duHied and bespattered.— Til lot son. That lovely bird of Paradise, Christian content ment can sit and sing in a cage of afiiiction mid confinement, or tly at liberty through the vast ex panse, with almost equal firmness and satisfaction; while “even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in Thy night,” is theyditrf note in its celestial song. 1 resolve lu united nothin;; to aoooic inj mi- nnl pence, more than if I had been certified that I should die within tho day; nor to mind any thing which tny secular dunes demand of mo less than if I had been insured I should live fifty years more.-— CheyncM. D. Some men, in their worldly trade, may say. at the year’s end, they have neither got nor lost; Iml thou const not sav that at the day’s end of thy soul; thou art-at night better or worse than thou wast in Ihe morning. As snow is of itself cold, yet warms and re freshes the earth, so nfihctiotis. though in them- velvet grievous yet keep the soul of the Christian warm, and make it fruitful.— llcv. John Mason. The reproof of n good man resembles fuller’s earth; it not only removes the spots from our character, but it riibs off when itis dry.— Halts Wilkinson. lie hath run long enough who hath touched the prize; he hath sailed long enough who is come pure into harbor; and he hath lived long enough who is ready to die.—Baxter. Let a mail have all the world can give him. lie is Rtilt miserable; if he has a grovelling, unfetter ed, tin jevntit mind. God never accepts the will for the deed when he puts it in a man’s power to do as well as will. Rich men have commonly more need to be taught contentment tliuu the poor.*— Eliza Cook. Tl " file gift of prayer may gain admiration from men, but it is the grace of prayer that has power with God. Innrayoritis heller to have a heart without woods,than words without a heart. Many that have passed the rocks of gross sin, have been cast away upon the sands of self righ teousness. Another Cholera Theory.—A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette, who signs himself John Lea, tifces the ground that cholera is always more fa tal where the blue limestone formation prevails, and where the water used by the people is strong ly limestone. He says: The truth of the geological theory appears to be fully sustained now as it was in 1832. The miasma passes around all primary and arenace ous formations, except the water there used he imbued with caleareo-magnesian elements; for example, New-Orlotins snifters, being on the Mis sissippi, while Mobile escapes, by reason of be ing supplied with water from Springbill, free from all mineral elements. The disease, I be- lievu, bus never become epidemic oil (lie const line ol the State* ol Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, or North Carolina; this includes the most insalubrious region in tho Union. It will be brought into seaport* there—ns Charles- tun—but does not prove epidemic: the excep tion only proves the rule. It passes now os it did in ]6J2, around West Tennessee; all the sandstone formation .above this city, on both sides of the Ohio, and Kmmolsbiirg, Maryland ; it takes but slight bold of Philadelphia and Now- York, and most of tho cases are probably at tributable to tho use of well water, acid and crude vegetables and fruits, and doses of Mag nesia and Epsom suits,aggravated by the immense influx of foreigners into tho latter city. It avoids Nantucket, (arenaceous) and West Point (primn- ry.) The cholera influence is general, wo all respire it, but if we take nothing to render it ac tive, it rests inert. The inhabitants of the const above mentioned, for moro than a thousand miles, need no precaution in their mode of liv ing. and the same remark will apply to tho dwol- » lets on tho granite formation ol New-Knglatid tbe Cochiluate water is probably clear of all per* nioious elements, therefore Boston has but little to apprehend. It is only surprising that New-York escapes ns w «ll o* it does, coiinidcriug tho daily arrival of crowded emigrant ships, by which the otherwise very slightly infectious character of the disonso become* aggravated among those confined with tho sufferers, crowded and heated till the uir be comes pestilential; such is now the case bore, where six or eight pgrnous are confined to a small room, badly ventilated, filled with disgusting of- flu via from filth, nud bodies covered with fiunnels unchanged for weeks, and to whom clean linen and washing are almost strangers! II tbs citizens of New-York were now com pelled to drink our soring water, tho mortality would reach 500 per dny! Earth is coign as bread in several parts of the world. Nour Moscow a hill furnishes earth of this description, which will ferment when mixed with flour. 'SA VANN AMT -■•rr,**•*.•'• SATURDAY MORNING) AUGUST 11»1849. ron novKiuton t lion. GEORGE W. TOWdS.

Tho city watch although vve hear of no complaint, might pcrhnps, by a little extra caution, secure somo of tho miscreants. Hail.—During a thunder storm which passed over onr city yesterday evening, wo wore visit ed with quite a sprinkling of hail—not sufficient however to do much damage iu this vicinity. Rail Road SunscniPTioNs.—We arc reques ted to say that such citizens as the committee have omitted to call on, will find subscription list* with John Stoddard, Esq., Dr. H. Ii. Bur roughs, William Duncan, Charles Greene, and Chas. F. Mills, Esqrs. Rev. Mr. Bascom.—A letter written by this eminent divine has been received in Charleston, announcing the gratifying intelligence that lie is gradually though slowly recovering from his re cent dangerous illness. The Gas Works.—The experiment of Dr. Humphreys, last evening, was entirely success ful. The gas burned brightly, rtf a clear flame mid satisfied we think all who witnessed it. The fixtures being merely temporary, of course, would not permit ns good an experiment, as if they were complete, hut no doubt that any quantity of gns can he made of ihe material used of a good quality and at a small comparative ex pense. £ "ip The Republican in conclusion of an ar ticle in yesterday’s paper has the following : "We affirm that it is a vile and monstrous slander for nny wide-awako man to assert that the Whigs of this State nro not equally sound with their opponents upon the subject of Southern in terests. Does the Georgian make such an as sertion I” We reply—wo do uinko the. assertion to the full extent the snmo was made in the article copied from the Augusta Constitutionalist, which so much displeased tho Republican. Can it he denied that there is a studied silence on the pmt of the Whig presses of Georgia, nud and ofleading Whig politicians generally, on the, subject of tho constitutionality of the Wilmot Proviso. IIow many of their presses controvert it T and with vvlmt *fp«**ni /rirmn <lo many dvIku upon every change of opinion among northern democrats! It appears to ho n pleasure rather than a regret to some to chronicle such events. Aro there not Whig members in Congress from Georgia who yield to Congress the right to legis' late on slavery, thus yielding the constitutional question? And do not the Whig presses sits lain these men and tlioir views? And how many of the Whigs nrc there who believe the Proviso cnti'titiiliouul 7 Will not the silence of the Whig press on this subject catiso the number to increase, particularly whi c it is so fond of quot ing the opinions and arguments of tho Northern Free toilers. On the other hand, tho Democratic press of Georgia aro teeming with argument against the constituionnlity of tho proviso-lending democrats; are writing nud speaking upon the subject.— There is no disposition to blink the question, hut to meet it manfully. In their viow? they are sustained by ninny of their Democratic brethren at the North; although we nrc grieved to find many have grown lukewarm and indifferent, and sonic even changed their opinions. But who can wonder at such a result, when it is difficult to find the first whig North who is not cither a Provisoist or ail open Abolitionist, and at the same time a manifest lukewarmness among the Whigs of the South on the subject. Heretofore we have bad n strong ally among Northern democrats, and we are now obliged to confess a considerable loss in this portion of our friends. And ivhnt hut the lack of Union among the peo ple of thn South on this subject has brought about this result. We repeat, we make the assertion to the full extent the same was made in thn articln copied from the Constitutionalist—not however with any particular desire for controversy, as the Republi can intimates; but because we miccrcly believe and reget it,. The Charleston Quarantine.—Tho Mayor laid before Council two letters from E. Lufitto & Co., one from tho Mayor of Savannah, nud olio from thn Board of Hoaltli of snmo city, re* Intivo to them bbing no Cholera existing iu the city, nor on the route of ilnfstunmhout* between tho two cities. Whereupon, tho following Preamble and Res olution wero adopted: Whereas, official certificates have been laid be* foro ibis Body, from tho Mayor of tho city ol] Snvnnnuli, and tho Chairumn of tho Board ol] Health, that Cholera docs not exist in the city ol* Savannah, nor on the river Jbolow- the city on the routn of the Charleston and Savannah lino of boats— Unsolved, That all steamers and vessels arriv ing from the port of Savannah, after being ex amined at Quarantine by the Port Physician, and no cases of Cholera or disense appearing on bonrd, shall be nllowod to come up to tho city. The New York Herald reports Hint “Comma- doro Parker lins been ordered to prococd with tho home squadron to Cubn, and domnnd the ro- leaso of Urn Spnuiurd, Francisco Roy, who wus abducted, ns is alleged, from Now Orleans, through tho instrumentality of the Spanish con sul at llial port, nud convoyod clandestinely to Havana.” Another paper doubts tho truth of this report. Tho Mayor of Charleston informed Council Hint tho auger at the Artesian Well had attained the depth oftUO feet; that since the muri strata had been passed, an influx of sand and cluy bad arisen, which rendered it nccessnry that tho boro should be tubed. Mr. Walton was novy engng- novy engag ed in ryming out, which process would enlarge the orifice from it* original diameter of 3|to G inches. Tho rato of ryming averaged about 20 act per diom.

Prentiss, was a suspension of twelve months and a reprimand The suspension has been remitted by the Presi dent. nud the Secretary of the Navy Inis addressed a letter of reprimand to Lieut. Prentiss. IComninuicntcil.] * Messrs. Editors:—Iu looking over the Picay une ofthc 25th July, I see there is to bo n grand shooting match at Passo Christian, near New Or- lenns. If nny of the gentleman can heat the following shots made by W. M. Davidson Esq., of this city, in a match at the Phcenix Pistol Gallery, we will then pick our flints mid try again : Teu shots.nt the word—distance 10 paces—tho ten shots measuring 53 inches from the centre of the shot to the centre of the hull’s eye. American Flag Violated at Rome.-A corrcs. pondeut of tho Boston Advertiser, gives a histo ry of the transactions which led to the “taking down of his arms” by tho American Counsul, at Rome, ns stated in our telegraphic despatches. Tho affair took place on the Gth, and may cause some difficulty between the French and our own government. Our Con-ml, as well as the English Counsul,had been very actively engng* ed in giving passports to tho poor devils who have been compromised by tho conrso of events. There was a crowd of tliuai: p op'e before the bouse of our Consul, when a picquct of French soldiery passed. From some reason or other, probably from some injurious words from some in the crowd, tho soldiers immediately, turned, and entered the bouse of our Consul, and took two men prisoners. Mr. Freeman, our Consul for Ancona, happened to be in the bouse, and be protested against this violation of our flag—(or the American (lag was Moating before the iioosn. No notice was taken of ibis protest by the subal tern commanding the picquct. Freeman imme diately proceeded to Oadinot, who expressed himself very much annoyed at tho net of bis sol diers. In the evening Cass wrote, on the com plaint of Freeman, to Oudinot, demanding an apology for the insult. The nnswcrjliad not ar rived on the 9th. In the meantime our flngs have been taken in from the houses of the Consul and Charge, ami if an ample npoiogy is not made, Cass will leave immediately, so stand affairs nt pre-ent. CnMnrt Kercii£e.—SlnnJhfrr of move Clurlin. Thn cabinet—viz: John M. Clayton, William M. Meredith, Revcrdy Johnson, Thomas Ewing, Arc., with Zachary Taylor, the eighth constitu ent element of that distinguished body—have proclaimed through their organ, the Republic, and through sundry letter-writers in their confi dence, corresponding with whig papers nt n dis tance. that if the democracy does not stop tho nssunlts of the Union upon them, tho aforesaid cabinet, they icill revenge themselves by removing poor innocent democratic clerks. And in nccor-, dance with this high-minded nml manly resolu tion, these honorable gentlemen nro now engag ed in the disgraceful butchery which is daily practised under the government. The nxe now swings without remorse. These honorable gen tlemen have, if their accredited organ is to he be lieved, become desperate, and tho poor clerks are doomed to he sacrificed if they will not stifle the voice of tho Union; hence, iu accordance with this magnanimous resolution of tho honorable men now in the possession of the government of n republic of22,000,000 of people, they have begun tho work of revenge. A few days since, 18 clerks were brought to the block in tho Land Office. And on Saturday fiyo more wore deca pitated in the Pension Oflicc; Mr. Wiley iu the Second Comptroller’s Office; and William Smith- esq., in tho Patent Office. Thcso executions liavo taken placo becauso tho very honorable gentlemen iu power cannot in nny other way si lence tho Democratic press. They cannot muz zle us by law. They daro not do it by a military force, after the fashion of the President of France. And hence they seek to shut onr months by put ting our friends to political death. It is by such base and infamous motives that the Taylor cabi- net is influenced, if its organs nro fo be believed. Slinmo on such mean, paltry, and dishonorable conduct! The motives ascribed by their organ to the cabinet for their ruthless proscription would he too pitiful to justify the malice of schoolboys. And yet such men wield the destiny of this great nation. Was there ever beforo such degrada tion? What country was over so humilutod?— Washington Union. Tribute to Mr. Polk.—“ Gnlignnni’s Mes senger” from Paris, July 1G. contains the follow ing brief but eloquent compliment from Mr. Rush to the deceased ex-Prcsident: “Legation of the United States, ? Paris, July 14. J “The dentil of Mr. Polk, lute President ol the United States, has been followed by tho wido la mentation of bis fellow-citizens. Youngest of ull Urn chief magistrates ofthc Union, he bus clos ed a life, though not full of years, full of honors. As remarkable for tho purity of his private life ns for devotion to ull his public duties in a suc cession of high trusts, until bis country culled him to its highest, iio descends to tho tomb, leaving bis country in n state of signal proaperily, and bis name impressed upon measures which liavo en larged her dominion, augmented her resources, and exalted her renown. As a mark of respect to bis memory, I recommend to tho American consuls in Franco to display their flag with a badge of mourning, and to Amorican ship-mas ters in French ports to hoist their colors at half- most the day nftor they may see this notice; “RICHARD RUSH.” [Ooinmuiiluotml for Ilia tiflnr|ian.l To Znrhnry Taylor* President IJ. ft. Sir:— 1 Tho language of trulh may not bo per mitted to roach your ear. Your Cablnot may deem it impolitic to suffer your eyo to peruse aught that is unpleasant lo you or disagreeable In ihcmsolvci. For the honor of our common country I hope such is not the fact. That n tnnn who occupies tho position once held liy n Wash- inton, a Jefferson and n Jackson, is tho hood winked tool of the minions who surround him, would bo degrading to the people who placed him llinro and dishonorable to himself. One thing, Sir, is certain*—you know of tho pledges solemnly mid pqblicldy* given by your friends and yourself previous to your election. You well know your personnl friend and de voted partisan, Mr. Crittenden, in his speech nt Pittsburg, last summer, while canvassing in your favor, made thn following declaration: “Ho (Mr. Crittenden) Imd seen u letter iu General Tay lor’s hnntl-writing, in which Gan. Taylor said, * hr. would prescribe no man became he was a Demo crat,' that both Democrats and Whigs stood by him at the battle of Monterey, shedding their blood together for their country, and bo would bo tho Inst man to deny to tliu Democrats a fair shore of tho offices.” You well know that tho present head of your Cabinet, Mr. Clayton, iu tho Somite of the U. States, on the 5th of July 1848, while advocating your claims ns a candidate for tho office you hold, thus expressed himself: “There is another platform: it is that of an honest man, who says that lie is a Whig, but that if elected to tiie Pres idency ho will not be the tool of n party—that ho will be the President ofthc people—that lie 1ms no enemies to punish, no friends to reward—that while he will do his duty in removing corrupt in competent, or unfaithful men from office, he will not bo tho supporter of that infamous system of proscription which distributes the public offices ofthc country ns the ppoils of n victory,” Arc. I say you well knew thcso facts—you knew of these pledges at thn time they wero given. The one declaration was made by n dis tinguished statesman who had been in the Senate oftho United States, is now Governor of Kentucky, who has signalized himself for his devotion to you, nnd to whom, if fame speaks truly, you offered a sent in tho Cabinet—and upon whose son you linvo bestowed tho Con- sulship’nt Liverpool. The other declaration was made on the floor of tho Senate of tho United States, by one whom you have placed nt the head of your Cabinet. Knowing these pledges to iiave been given did you repudiate them ? Now, so far from this, yourself added your personal pledges to the ns- severntions of your friends. To Bronson you declared “ if I was called to tho Presidential Chair by the general voice of the people, with out regnrd to their political differences I should deem it my duty to accept tho office.” To Alli son you wrote “ I have no private purposes to accomplish—no party projects to build up—no enemies to punish—nothing to serve but my country.” Those pledges of your friends, thcso assevera tions of your own have become history—they tiro well known to you nnd cannot have escaped your recollection. Now sir, do yon know what in the face of the pledge* nnd asseverations is going on around you and under the 'unction of your name? For the sake of n soldier’s honor and* man’s honesty I would fain believe you ignorant, fori prefer imbecility to falsehood, ignorance to error. Do you know that neither ago nor sex is spared by those who immediately surround you? Do you know lhnt widows nro deprivod of their bread, grey hairs of their support, honesty of their menus of livelihood to make way for hitter pnr- tizan*. nnd that it is enough to ho n democrat to he deemed “corrupt.” “incompetent” nnd “un faithful.” Can you know thcso things, Sir, nnd not blush over pledges violated, nnd honor, nye, the honor of n gentleman nnd n soldier, for feited in the face of the people and of the world? And if you know not these things whoso fault is it ? Not of the people who were deceived,—by the belief Hint ho who lind the courage of the soldier, also possessed the manly virtues which generally accompanies that courage. It is not the limit of the deceived, but of the deceivers— of him whose ambition lias impelled him to seek a position for which be was unfitted by nature and education. CIVI3. From the Charleston Mercury. Hiram liobcrts, Collector Savannah, vice Wm. IJ. Bulloch, removed. Mr. Editor: Such was tbe notice which, n few days since, appeared in the public prints, pub lished throughout tho length and breadth of the land, furnishing another strong proof of the./?- dclity with which the administration hasredeem- ed its solemn pledges given to the people dur ing the late canvass. It then professed that it would be tho people’s administration, that it would exercise its powers with equity and jus tice, and that no one should bo disturbed in the enjoyment of his office who performed its duties with faithfulness and zeal. Mr. Bulloch is one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Sa vannah ; in years past tho representative of her interests in the National Council. During along life he has filled many postions of honor, of trust, and profit, discharging their duties with credit to himself and benefit to bis constituents. Even in times of the most virulent party excitement, a- gainst him the breath of slander has never been uttered, tho voice of calumny never raised—ven erable fur his year*, distinguished for his talents, |nved for the noble qualities which adorn his character, ho has been ruthlessly sacrificed upon the altar of spoils. Though a Republican in faith, yet ns an officer iiudcr government he deemed it bis duty to take no pnrt in tho Inst po litical conflict and expressly avoided all excite ment on the subject. It was sufficient, how ever. that he was a not Whig in principle. This isjthe “head and front of hi* offending.” It mat tered not Hint lie Imd faithfully performed his du ties. It mattered not that that office was the sup port of his declining years—tho mouths oftho no party claimants must bo filled—h!s oflico was wanted as spoils. And who 'n it that has thus raised oil high the nxe of proscription, mottoed: “spoils for my adherents, rich offices for my sup porters?” ’Tis tho Aonest Taylor—tho anti-pro scription ist—tho people's candidate! When, on a late peension, onr highly respected fellow-citi. sson, Major Laval, was removed, the will for tho deed—tho excuse then was that ho lind taken an activo part in the canvass ; wlmt now the pre text ? Tho answor comes from Washington, if not in words.in deeds. Do nottho spoils belong to tho conquerors—the treasures to tho victors? Yes to such conquerors ns ride in triumph over their pledged promises, their sworn faith—and this tho act of that administration which has “no friends to roward, no enemies to punish. S. Thirty-six pnsseugera have published n card, declaring that the recent disnstcr on tbo railroad between Philadelphia and Now York, “ was tho result of gross carelessness.” Curious Fact.—One pint of water converted into steam fill* a spneo of nearly 2000 pints, and mines the piston of a steam engmo with the forco of many thousand pounds.

You had better come hero and see the country as you can do much better tlmti in Savannah. Our Gold Mines are (asyou must linvo heard) inoxlmustahle. The gold region exlcuds four hundred miles from North to South, $10, is the least a man makes per day and this is considered a trifle by tho workers. A few lucky ones have made ns much ns $2000, in,one day—but this is ns you may well imagine, of rare occurrence.

Mutiny on Board ok a California Ship.— A serious mutiny occurred oft’Montevirleo about the 80th May, on board of tbe ship Mcmnon, bound from New York to California. Tho crew had for some lime shown signs of insubordina tion and insolence to the officers. One man re fused to do duty, nnd was put in irons. The others rose in Ins defence, and n genera! fight commenced, iu which the Cnptain and officers wero supported by the passengers, Several of them were wounded. They at length retreated to the cabin, urmed llifiluselves, nud returned lo deck. Then, iu perfect coolness and bleeding, ns all tho officers were, the first nnd second mates went forward with their pistols, with orders to fire and kill any man who refused to come aft. The crew, finding that the officers nnd passen gers were nil armed, gave up the contest, and eight men were finally manacled and sent be low. After a consultation, it was decided to make for Montevideo, instead of attempting to go round tho Cnpe with a mutinous crew. The Mernnon reached anchorage on the 2Gth of May, nud the mutineers weie sent aboard the American sbip-of-wur St. Louis. On the morning of the 27th the rest of tho crew refused to do duty, and it was said that the Captain of the sloop.of-war went on bonrd and ordered them all to lie seized up for punishment. The Mernnon had cabin passengers only. Part of Hie passengers of the bark Rochelle, from Boston, heretofore reported as having put into Montevideo, in distress, would take passage on tho Memfioii. may afterward* be condensed, and re-appear a* u pint of wator. Faithful Dog.—Mr. Wintemute was drown ed while attempting to swiin thn Niagara river to an island, on the 4th of July. There is an in cident connected with the death of Mr. \V\ that is quite affecting, as it exhibits the strong attach ment and peculiar sagacity of the dog. This faith ful animal had accompanied Mr. W. in the water, and was the m -ans of discovering hi* loss and the recovery of hi* body by his friends. The dog, from the moment hi* master sunk to rise no more, continued to swim in a circuit of some fifty feet, howling and barking, for about two hours. Tho continued crie9 of the dog, uttered in the most pitiful and lamentable strains known to the race, attracted the attention of neighbors from the shore, who at length went to the dog, and recog- included from his sorrowful cries liiziug him, conclud nnd earnest manner, tlmt his master was in the water. This proved to be so: on searching, bis body was found within a circuit made by the dog, ns be swam round and round. When the body of his muster was taken into the boat, nothing could exceed tho expressions of joy manifested by this faithful an unil, who, quite exhausted and feeble, was taken into tho boat along with the body, The Star Spangled Banner at Kingston. —A most ludicrous scene took place nt Kingston on Friday morning, the 27th, as described by the Whig. In tho first gleams of the morning, the Stars and Stripes were seen proudly float ing from the cupola of the City Hall, the build ing in which tho Canadian League or Conven tion was holding its meetings. According to the Whig, the military, the city authorities, the citizens, and members of League were all thrown into consternation, imagining, we suppose, that during tho night tho “Area of Freedom” had been extended over them. Tho guard at‘the battery, in front of the City Hall, beat to arms, the Commandant, Col. Young, and tho Mayor were called, nnd the City Councils assembled. To add to the general confusion, some wag spread the report, that tho four American line- steamers wero coming round the Point filled with American troops. After tho alarm sub sided a little, the flag wns nulled down, hitched to tho tail nnd of a cart nnd dragged through the streets of Kingston. Tho sensation produced by this incident, ennhlcd nil parties iu Kingston to mnkn n new manifestation of their loyalty.— Osicego Times, 31st. Patrick Collins no Defaulter.—It is De nied by tho Cincinnati Inquirer that Patrick Collins, Into Surveyor of Hint port, is a defaulter to a large amount, as alleged by the Washington Republic. After stating that both he anddiis suc cessor, Mr. Bond lmve been very sick, tho In quirer snys : “Such being tbe condition of Mr. Collins nnd Mr. Bond, Mr. Collins could not well deliver to bis successor the books, papers and money* in his band*. The safo containing tho moneys nnd &c.belonging to the Government, Mr Collins lias not seen or touched since tiie 15th of June, when he wns stricken down hy sickness. He is ready to deliver all over to. his successor when he is able nud ready to receive them. Tho counting ofthe money on hand will tako several days.” A Young Lady in Pants at the Springs.— The N. York Mirror gives a letter from Sarato ga Springs, describing the nppcarauce and nar rating tho doing* of a young lady, who ha* been figuring nt that placo nnd Bnl*ton in ifinlo ap- pnrpl, under tho name of Mr. Uriah Baden; de lighting mammas nnd captivating daughter*, ex hibiting no small share of genius and lenrning, and possessing great conversational powers. Her enreer, however, had been cut short by the arrival of her father nnd mnHier, nnd ehe hud re lumed with them to their resideuco in New Jer sey. From th« prominence givon to the latter, it would sooin that the story is believod by the conductors of tho Mirror. Wo *oo it noticed in tbo Now York paper* that a gentleman, named Bonnet, recently swnm ncrosH the Iludsou river in au nbliqua direction, Hie distance be compassed amounting to noarly four mile*. Tho font is said to hnvo been per formed in an hour and a half. Steeple CnASES.—The London Veterinari an gives the following as some of the events at a recent Steeple Chase near Liverpool: Atone fence, n flight of rail* placed onnbnnk, a horse called Kilfane struck the fence and fell into the next field. Hi* thigh was broken, and his throat teas cut. At another fence, n small bank of earth, a horse named Equinox fell into the next field; hi* hack was broken; his throat too teas cut. At another fence, a little further on, Curate stumbled, nnd rolled into the next-field, where nnutlicr horse jumped upon him. Hi* back, too, was broken, hud his throat teas cut also. The following extract from a report describes the uspect of tho conrso when the race was over: When ihe race »>ua u.ti, r-®» lying in a pool of hi* own blood. At the next fence, scarcely n hundred yard* beyond, lay the Curate, ill exactly the same situation, and at the next, Kilfane. The ktii.e having put un end to the sufferings of each.
