The nispcctors informed him they had, whereupon he directed it to be put in order for shipping. He was then asked by the inspector-; had he the usual to bacco notes! To which' he replied that he had not, but that he bad a list of Ae tobac co prepared by Mr. Suydam, who Is also an agent of Belmont & Co. The inspectors, of course, had nothing further to say at the mo ment, and yielded as?cnt.

TnK Monster Bells or the World.—In making large bells, loudiu -s rather than pitch is the object,. ** the sound can 4>e conveyed to a much farther extent.

Robbert and Murder at Brook lyn.—Further Particulars.—It has been mentioned that Jose Garcia Otero, a guest at the Barcelona hotel, in New York, was mur dered on the night of the 23d, at City Park, Brooklyn, ne was a theatrical manager in Havana, and lately arrived in this country to purchase machinery. When he left the hotel he had #10,000 with him. and when his body was found there were bnt #300 in his vest pocket. The Herald gives the subjoined ad ditional particulars: He left his temporary stopping place, Ae Barcelona hotel, in Great Jones street, be tween six and seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, in company wiA a friend named Jose Gonzales. Senor Otero had, it is Aonght, from eight to ten thousand dollars on hisper- son. If is supposed that after leaving his hotel he was joined by other parties, Ac whole proceeding to Brooklyn, wheje at ten o’clock the same evening. Otero was found murdered, but bis body was not then cold. A dagger and two razors were found near him, wfiich at first gave rise to Ae idea that he luid committed suicide: but closer inves tigation revealed Ae faet.thatjhc was brutally murdered by one or more persons. The mat ter was given into the hands of the detective police, and late on Thursday afternoon they arrested a Cuba*, named Theodore Martinez Bellecer, on board tbe steamship Manhattan, as she was about to depart for Havanah and Vera Cruz. Tlie person of the prisoner was examined, when it was discovered that his hands were cut in several places, as if with a sharp instrument A pair of gloves, cut and soiled with blood, were also found, and his clothing was thickly soiled wiA fresh blood. He was handcuffed and taken to Brooklyn, and was subsequently taken to view the body otthe murdered man, when he exhibited great nervousness and shook his head, bnt said nothing. He is now in close custody awaiting the result of an inquest which is in progress.

From the Alta Californian.] By the arrival of the British ship Harka- way, thirty-one days from Kanagawa, we are in receipt of files of the Japan Herald to Sep tember 16. The Herald of September 4th says: A few days ago a well known official in Yeddo, Tatsongoro, Chief of Ae Fire Brigades, was executed by being transpierced with lances while lashed to a wooden cross. The enuse of his execution was as follows: During Ae march of Ae army from Yeddo to Osaco, the Castle Dzeze, in the Province of Go-shoo, was selected as one of tlie resting places of the Tycoon, in which he should pass the night. " Dzeze is situated in the district of Oomi, and is Ae ancestral scat of the Daimio Hondliashnsen-nosho, who -was in Yeddo at the time. * On the day that Ae Tycoon was to arrive at Dzeze in the evening, and while he was resting at the village on this side of Dzeze, a retainer of the Hondha present ed himself at Ae door of Ae apartment in which the Tycoon was, and before he could be prevented, he entered the room and prostrated himself before the Prince. Being called upon for an explanation of such an extraordinary infringement of Japanese etiquette, he at once told his tale. “Do not,” said he, “rest at Hond ha Sams's palace to-night, according to your original intention. Preparations have been made to destroy you by means of gunpowder. The whole house has been undermined, and Ae execution of Ae plot committed to one called Shimo- no Tatsongoro, by orders of Ae Karoo,^and others in charge of the palace. I am one of the Hondha Sama’s retainers, and I know that the Prince knows notning of these evil designs. I was, by good luck, one of Ae party selected by the Kuroe for Ais bad work, and have assisted in the preparation, and so I know the whole truth, and desire to warn you in time, and save my Prince from disgrace and unjust punishment, To prove my sincerity, I seal my statement wiA my blood.” He then performed “harikari,” and his last declaration was Aat Stozu-bashi was the prime originator of the design. The poor fellow suffered dreadfully, but he died smilingly saying, “I have done my duty.”— The Karoc (head retainer and officer in charge of.the palace during the Daimio’s residence inYeddo) was promptly arrested, with five accomplices. Our Japanese friends say there is some rea son to believe Aat the Stozu-basbi might have been Ao director of the plot, as, if-it had succeeded, there would have been but little difficulty in removing the Tycoon’s son. now in Yeddo, and that done, Stozu-bashi would almost certainly be elected Tycoon- he being Ae son of Prince Mito, one of the Gosankay. He is also the man most likely to meet the views of Ae Mikado and those Daimios hostile to Ae present foreign treat ies, and in favor of separate and independent treaties. Reports say that Tycoon is a good deal de pressed in spirits. He holds court at Osaca, and seems to have made preparations for. a lengthened stay there. Tlie rebuilding of his Yeddo palacej that was destroyed by fire some time back, has been discontinued.— Trade in Yeddo is excessively slack, and many persons are selling out and going to Osaca to settle. Since the above was in type, we have re ceived intelligence confirmatory of the main, fact in the above, and from a source which quite renders incredulity impossible. There is little doubt but that the Tycoon narrowly escaped immediate peril on his journey to Osaca. The Daimio Hondo Shizenosho had planned, that on Ae arrival of the Tycoon at his capital—Dzeze, the chief town of Genti an attempt was to be made on his life.' The accounts vary considerably. One is that the Daimio had" arranged that the roof :of his house should fall through and crush the Ty coon and party at a given signal. AnoAer is to the effect that it was undermined, and was to Be blown up. It is said that As plot was discovered by Ae Daimio’s own wife having sent timely warning to the Tycoon. New York.

It is understood he will urge Ae removal of the bureau to NewYork. A prominent question before Ae next con gress will be Ae increase of Ae regular ar my. Gen. Grant is understood to favor the mustering out of all volunteers and the mak ing of such additions to all arms of the ser vice as would make the nominal strengA of the regulars about 75,000. Too little atten tion has been paid to cavalry, in times ot peace. Borne new measures for recruiting and drilling this arm of the service may also be recommended. Tlie abandonment of Ae depots of govern ment supplies in Ae Southern States, conse quent upon the gradual withdrawal of troops, has caused Gen. Howard to issue a circular authorizing the assistant commissaries of States to mJit 1 requisitions upon the depart ments still remaining for such rations as will be required for Airty days in their respective departments, for the benefit of refugees and freedmen. , Gen. Grant in Richmond. The Herald's Richmond correspondence, Nov. 27th, 6ays: General Grant was heartily welcomed to that city by tlie military author ities. He freely expressed his opinion while there regarding Mexican . affairs. He said emphatically that Ae advent of Maximilian to the pretended throne of Mexico was a part of the rebellion, and his immediate expul sion should be a part of its history. France did not ask our consent to establish a throne in Mexico, and we should not consult that power in re-establishing the republic. He said that France hod no right to interfere in the question, but if site would involve hjflself in a war with us on this point, now is tlie time to have it, while our army' and navy is yet organized, and before our commerce is again afloat on every sea. Two Days Later from Enrope Sandy Hook, Nov. 29.—The Scotia, from Liverpool, 18th, via quarantine, 19th, arrived off here to-day. Her dates are two days later. Spanish aggression on Chili occupied the attention of the European press. A memo rial from an influential meeting held at Liv erpool would be presented to Earl Clarendon, asking Aat prompt action be taken for the protection of British interests in Chili. A deputation of Liverpool merchants had wait ed upon Earl Clarendon in regard to Chilian troubles, and the interview was very satisfac tory. There is every reason to hope that the government will take energetic measures in regard to the matter. Wc have received no commercial news by Ais arrival. Florida Railroads.—The railroads in Florida did not suffer much damage during the war, in comparison to other Southern roads. The Pensacola and Georgia roaH is in fair running order from Quincy to Lake City. The cars are running tri-weekly. On the Central road the cars make their weekly trips between Lake City and Jack sonville. The Florida railroad, from Fernandina to Cedar Keys, it is expected, will be in opera tion by the first of January. The Pensacola and Georgia railroad runs no further west than Quincy, although it is hoped it will be completed before long to Ac Chattahoochee. The president of the latter road has pur chased in the North five first-class engines and a large amount of material for the con- struction eff box cars. lea' The Russian Cattle Plague.—The secro tary of state has received a letter from Minis ter" Clay, dated St Petersburg, Oct 29. As some attempts are being made to deny the existence of' Ae cattle plague in Russia, he quotes extracts from the Russian Gazette, of Moscow, in proof of Ae fact. Nothing is at tempted to arrest the plague—the supernatu ral people regard that as a useless attempt. Some of the larger villages scarcely retain the tenth of their original number. Cattle per ish by hundreds, and sheep by Aousand3. The description of the cattle plague docs not answer to the one raging in England, in all respects, but climate aud other surroundings greatly change Ae symptoms and character of Ae disease, as is well known, and notwith standing the denials of Ae Russian authori ties, who are much interested in Ac exporta tion of cattle, tallow, hides and wool, Mr. Clay is still of the decided opinjon that the disease was carried from the Baltic (Russian) ports to England. The Mineral Resources of Idaho.—The discovery of rich mines of cinnabar, or quick silver, in Idaho territory, is likely to be im portant, if present estimates of its value are confirmed. A letter.from Ruby City says “Ae existence of a vast bed of cinnabar ore in Ae location before spoken of is beyond gll question.” Of one thing the world may rest assured, that New Almaden will enjoy a mo nopoly of quicksilver mining no longer till the mines of Owyhee can be made to yield. Several new gold discoveries are spoken of, but Ae want of facilities of transportation in ities to discover him. as well as others on Idaho is the great obstacle to mineral devel- whom suspicion rest. npment. , DIED, In this city, on the evening of November 29th, Mrs Amelia T. Ross, wife of the lafe Henry G Rosa, Sr. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. AUCTION TO-DAY.

Also, that by Ae efficiency and promptness of Ae Judge of Ordinary, Wm. M. Riley, Esq., everything cop- Lucctcd with Ac county journals and records have I been prcacrvqd intact, and tu good order. ' Wc find Ae pnbBc buililing3 in a state of dilap idation. The dome of Ac Court House is in a leaky condition, owing to the breaking out otthe blinds and absence of glass from Ae windows. I The roof also requires repairs, and a new fence is needed round tbe Court House; chairs are jffspl wanted in Ae rooms of Ae Court, Grand Jftry and offices of Ae Clerks, all of which are Irefercd to the attention of Ae Justices ol the In ferior Court- | The Jail havlag been destroyed, Ae Grand Jury recommend that a pew one be Immediately put under contract and hastened to completion, bythe proper anAority. This is the more important I from the fact Aat Ae Penitentiary is also partially destroyed, and there is no place for the safe-keep ing of persons convicted ot crime or charged with criminal offences. The publlcyoads of Ac county are found to be I generally in bad order. The bridge on Ae Colum bus road across TobcsoSVcc creek Is in a danger ous condition. Also, the bridge across the Ecba- connec requires early attention. Tbe Toll bridge across Tohcsoflkcc, on tbe Perry road, needs re pair, and replacing of the railing which has been broken off In taking into consideration Ae situation of Ac country as to labor, and the Inefficiency of tbe sys tem heretofore pursued in regard tokeepiag up the pnblic roads, this Grand Jury would recom mend Aat our Senate!* and Representatives in Ae I Legislature make an effort to have a law passed, if Inecessary, authorizing the Justices ot the Inferior [Court of Bibb connty to have the roads of Ac Iconnty woftted by contract, and to levy a tax to pay tbe coet of Ac same. This plan wc understand lias been adopted with success in Richmond coun ty, and is deemed to be worthy ef a trial. The subject of a more ample and certain provis ion for Ae poor of Ae connty, Ae number of which has, perhaps quadrupled within the last year, from the general disruption of adiiirs, involving thel death of many heads of families, as well as loss ofl property and means of suppport, has pressed itself upon the attention of Ais body, wlAont its being able to suggest a remedy commensurate with the magnitude of tbe evils sought to be relieved or re moved. That something must be done, more than heretofore, to prevent the great distress and mor tality that will inevitably result from the inability to procure food, clothing, fuel and shelter, by Ais large class of Ac community, during theupproacli- iug winter, is self evident. Wchaveoflleiafauthori- ty for saying, that there arc now in onr county about 500 women and 1000 children that are dependent, wholy or in part, upon Ae pnblic bounty, for Aeir very existence. They have little or no means oi support, and what many of them have had in the way of domestic animals, etc., they have been de prived of by Ac hand of violence aud theft. It will not do, then, to depend for relief upon Ae spon taneous liberalities of the private citizen, however S tomcrous that has been or may be, bnt Ao authori ses of thegity and connty are nrged to unite in the adoption of snch measures as will secure, by taxation or o Aerwisc, tbe needed amount of money to save our dependent poor from suffering and death, especially os many of these have been nrndo poor through the disasters of the late war, viz: the widows aud orphans of Ae soldiers. Something should also be done in behalf of the negro population, whioh is now crowded upon us, by the fortune of war. Thousands of these helpless and improvident .people have abandoned their homes in the country, where food, raiment and shelter, were enjoyed, and have congregated in our villages and towns, Heading an idle and dissolute life, and the snb- [ject of many loathsome diseases, freely mingling with the whites and communicating their conta- jgion to all around. In Ao present state of the country tho civil authorities are powerless to remedy all these evils. Tho able bodied froed- men 'and freedwomcn do as thoy please. No other idea of thoir new born liberty seems to bo entertained than that of freedom from work.— They cannot be reached by State or municipal law, and wo can only have redress through tho interference of the military power of Aa United States, who have the care and control of this class. Are we wrong, then, in looking to that anAority for the relief ofour impoverished white race, from Ao intolerable bnrdens now imposed upon them by the additional mass of pauperism, disease and crime, incident to emancipation?
