LOCAL AFFAIRS. Fine Pears. Mr. John C. Ruse exhibited to us yes terday, a magnificent sample of Pears of several different varieties, taken from his orchard of six hundred trees, and about twelve months old. We are glad to see this branch of horticulture receiving the attention of gentlemen so competent as Mr. Ruse to carry it forward to success. Another year we may expect a supply for our market. Fine Peaches. We received Tuesday, through the courtesy of our friend W. 11. 11. Phelps, 88 Broad street, a basket of the finest peaches we have seen this season, both for size and flavor. Some of them meas ure nine inches in circumference and weigh six and half ounces. Duplicates of this fruit can be found at his store, where they are received every morning fresh from trees in the vicinity. Missionary Prayer Meetings. The members of the Baptist congrega tion in our city are in the midst of a week’s services of missionary prayer meetings, which we learn are very well attended. We understand that a plan is on loot to establish a perpetuul prayer meeting ifi the city. Committees to ar range and digest a plan have been ap pointed by both the Baptist and Method ist churches. ■ Anniversary Ball bf tlic Grays. Although the state of the thermometer indicated rather a melting time for the ladies and gentlemen on last Tuesday evening, quite a respectable party gath ered at Concert Hall to join in the festive dance, consequent on the first anniversa ry of the Georgia Grays. Considering the oppressive state of the weather and number of our citizens seeking recreation abroad, it was a very creditable affair. Long may the Grays live to enjoy re turning anniversaries, and continue as now, the crack company of the city. Look well to your Locks. Tho residence of one of ous citizens was attempted to be opened by a couple of burglars on Wednesday morning between 2 and 3 o’clock. Fortunately a negro boy was sleeping near at hand, and was aroused by their noise. They fled as soon as discovered, but not without the boy’s discovering them to be well dressed white men. It would be well for every man to sleep with a revolver under his pillow, or a double-barrelled gun in a convenient place, so as to give these nocturnal visi tors a warm reception. A Serious Annoyance. Wo have forborne to call attention pub- | lic-ly to an annoyance which is innocently perpetrated we know, by persons who do it without thinking. We mean the prac- ; tice of hitching horses on the Sabbath j and Sabbath evening, to the fence around. | the Baptist church lot, and in tho lane ! seperating the Baptist and Methodist lots. 1 Wo feel that to remind gentlemen of the ! fact that members of the Baptist congrc- j gation are seriously annoyed by it will \ cause them to desist. - Captured r Runaway and Tliief. Policemen Beck and Lewis arrested iit j this city, on Monday eveuing last, a negro man who says he belongs to Mr. Slaugh- j ter, near Union Springs, Ala. lie had in his possession a line gold watch and six- I ty-seven dollars in money, both of which I lie says he took from bis master, lie j was placed in the calaboose to remain un til Mr. Slaughter can be written to. Thitv continued vigilanco on the part of our j police merits approbation, and will go ! very far towards ridding our city of many j of the vagrant negroes which now infest j the city. Keep your eyes upon those ne- ! pro gents, policemen. They were uol afraid. It is true “no body was afraid to invito j us to another” lemonading and cake eat- j ing. On last Monday we were duly uoti- j lied to be in attendance at one of these ! soirees. We went, we saw and got con- 1 quered, eat too much cake, drank lemon 1 ade enough for two men, because it was as cold as ice could make it, cracked and eat almouds, and, ob, crackee! eat two pliilopenaes, for which wo know we will have to pay, as we never did have seuse enough to catch but one woman, and then she was off her guard, and for a present we got—well, that’s our business. Hold on ladies a while before you ask us out again, or you may be the death of the Sun's local, which would be a terrible ca lamity for Columbus. lvnlgtits of Jericho. Wo Lave been kindly furnished by a member of the above order, with a list of •olficers elect for the ensuing quarter. Wo rejoice to kuow that the great spirit of Temperance reform has not lost all its advocates, and as the old and gray head ed give up the reins of management, young and stout hearts come forward to push the great and good enterprise on to success. May their efforts be crowned with greater success than they even an ticipated. If they can be the means of temporal salvation to one poor misguided man they have achieved a glorious tri umph.

Updegratf, S.; Lender May, G. ; Thomas J. Jackson, C. ♦ Idle Negroes. Every day adds further testimony to the fact that our city is infested with too many trilling, idling, vagabond negro men and women, who will not work l'or a living, and resort to gambling, stealing find prostitution for a living. The worst feature in this is the fact that persons owning houses will rent them to such ne groes, while other white men are found who will cheerfully act as guardians for them. Just so long as such a state of things exist, so long will we have arrests, such as we noticed Monday, and so long will there be stealing going on in onr midst. In certain localities of our city, white men and women are forced from “necessity to live next door neighbors to prostitute negro wenches and negro fami lies who hire their own time. Can not the Marshal or his deputy or the police, make all such come to a showing for the authority by which they live oil - their owners’ premises? If they have any au thority to Jo this, we trust they will ex ercise it to the utmost extent. Asa sample of the coolness of railroad conductors, the Harrisburg Patriot & V nion tells the following tough story: “One of them having been discharged from his trust, applied to be reinstated.— “ Vou were dismissed,” said the Super intendent, austerely, “for letting your train come twice into collision.” “The very reason,” said the “Other, interrupt ing him, “ why I ask to be restored.”— “How so?” “Why, sir, if I had any doubt before as to whether two trains cau pans each other on the same track, I am now entirely satisfied; I have tried it twice, sir, and it c--a-n-t be done, and I am not likely to try it again.” Wl>Rt a Splatter •%2)cl what a Fail ure. It has nd been many years since our people were urged and in iueed to sub scribe for stock in a Gas Light Company, and our city council also, to aid the lau dable work, by consent of the citizens, subscribed very liberally to its capital stock. Amongst many other benefits promised to result from the erection of these works, one was that our streets could and would be better lighted. The works were fitted up—the pipes laid—the posts with burners thereon, erected zig zag along Broad and one or two other streets, only however fora short distance up and down, or rather only so far as in dividuals would asssist to lay down the pipe to get the gas in their dwellings. Alter all is got ready a man is employed to keep these zig-zag lamps in burning or der, and light them except when the moon shines, on which occasion the gas would be no where, the gas company according to contract, furnished the steam to make a light, but the lamp lighter did not, would not, and does not, touch off these zig-zag lamps, which give about as much light to each lamp as an ordinary dipped candle. Some of our people made a great splut ter over what gas would do. We believe it would afford a beautiful light if any man in seven States could be induced by love or money to undertake the arduous task of keeping in order and lighting the said twenty-five to fifty zig-zag lamps. We avail ourselves of this opportunity to inform our neighboring cities and the “balance of mankind” of the fact, that our city is a most excellent school to learn economy in the use of gas ; that is, when there is a contract to pay for what they burn. Ours is a fast town, sure, and lamp lighters are independent folks, per haps he is leaning back upon his consti tutional right, or it may be belongs to the “oppressed poor,” whom politicians are striving to rob of bis last right. The whole truth in a nut shell is simply that the effort to light our city with gas, has proved one grand fizzle. ♦ Lamp Lighter. Injustice to Mr. F. Wilhelm, who has but recently taken charge of the city Lamps, we state that it is not his fault that they do not afford as much light as they should. He is putting on new and larger burners, as fast as he can obtain them, and is determined t keep them in good order. Unfortunately for him and others who have preceded him, theie is in our community, a class of youths who, for a little mischief, put out the light of a portion of the lamps after he has per formed his duty. Such little acts of meanness as this of course he should not bo held to account for. Mr. Wilhelm says, and we think very correctly, that the present arrangements of the lamps is not such as to afford as much light as they would, if placed in a line in the centre of the streets, where there are no trees to obstruct the light, as a general thing. We think his suggestion a good one, and would be glad to sec a change made. Slinll it Succeed! By reference to our advertising col umns it will be seen that Messrs. Hall, Moses & Cos, one of our oldest and strong est business firms, promises to furnish various brands of Iron at wholesale Sa vannah prices. We hail this movement as the dawning of a better day for the commerce of our city, and trust every friend will come up to the assistance of these gentlemen in this laudable under taking. Too long have we been tribu tary——too long poured a stream of princely profits into the laps of Northern merchants. Now when an opportnnity is offered our people to assume an indepen dent and noble position amongst her sis ter cities, we call upon every lover of our city’ to stand by these efforts. Let the ftatchward be direct importation and home trade. The adoption of a course like this will, in a few years, place our city iu a better and more prosperous con dition than a dozen railroads. Let our merchants who possess tho means become their own importers,—make Columbus a port of entry,—as it can be—and pros perity will lavish its gifts upon us. Our manufacturing and mechanical interests, —all will catch the impulse and be im pelled forward to greater results. Must tlie East have all! We were shown on Monday afternoon the Cast Iron Columns and Caps for the windows of the New Baptist Church, now in the course of erection in our city.— They are very beautiful designs, and ex ceedingly smooth castings, and will be quite an addition to the tine appearance of the building. There is one fact, how ever, connected with them, which makes them loose a great deal of their interest to us, and that is they came from East ern lands, where we are considerd as worse than heathens, and not fit compan ions around their altars, except so far as our money goes. We have in suc cessful operation iu our city two found -1 ries, where wo think as good castings can be done, and patera makers equal to any of the North or blast. Why, then, send away from these gentlemen, who are putt ting forth every energy to build up this in terest in our city, a job which could jus as easily have been done here ? Men may | talk largely of the independent South, and of her power to sustain herself a gainst the assaults of abolitiondom, but it requires “material aid and comfort” to enable her to do so successfully. It is ! not very encouraging for a company of gentlemen to see jobs sent away from , them, and especially to those who Lave j no feelings in common with the South. We do not wish to be understood as having any personal allusions to any cue; i we are dealing in generalities’, and men tion this case because it gives us an op portunity to record our protest against sending work abroad which cau be done as well at home, as well as an act of simple justice to our Foundries. <• Short hair, wo observe, is modestly gaining ground. We saw a lovely lady j at Saratoga who wore it in the most be coming fashion. Ilerglos-y lockscurled under so as to give the effect of a roll on each side of the face, extending to the centre at the back of the neck, where a bow of lace and ribbon finished the coif fure.” —-V. V. Express. It is hard to withstand the dictates of fashion, but we hope and believe the gen tler sex will effectually resist the daring innovation upon one ofUieir prescriptive rights. We are glad to see that short hair is but “modestly gaining ground.” “Long hair is t the glory of woman, is the emphatic declaration of the “ Hook of all books.” *_ • The following is from the Nashville Union & American: Tiie Rains and the Grots. — The recent rains appear to have been very general in both Tennessee and Kentucky, and coming at a most opportune time, must have been of immense advantage to the growing corn crop. The drowtli had not permanently injured the crop, except in certain localities, where no rain has fal len for several weeks. Should the sea son continue favorable from this forward the corn crop will be very tine. We have not heard that cotton has yet suffered from the drouth, but the rain will boos immense service to this crop, and will cause it to grow amazingly. ARRIVAL OF TEfi KANGAROO. Father Point, (off Quebec,) July SO. —The steamship Kangaroo was boarded off Cape race to-day by the boat of the Associated Press. The Kangaroo brings telegraph dates from Liverpool, via Queenstown, on Thursday noon. July 21st, Liverpool, Thursday, noon. —There was a better feeling in the cotton market to day, with sales of 7,000 bales. Market closed steady. Lverpool General Market. —Breadstuff's quiet; sales unimportant. Provisions quiet. Spirits of Turpentine dull, at Cos. •to 355. 3d. Rest unchanged. London Money Market. —Consols quoted at 95 to 95J. General News. —The Peace Confer ence meets at Zurich, in Switzerland, in about ten days. Paris Bourse closed on Wednesday at 68. —— The Washington Monument—A Cu rious Experiment. Work being about to be renewed on the Washington Monument at Washington, preparations were made last week for commencing operations. Only one rope was left by which the top could be reach ed, but it was considered unsafe to at tempt this, lest it should prove to be rot ten, and loss of life ensue. It was there fore necessary to get anew rope across the top. To do this a man was produced who, standing upon the ground outside the column, threw a stone over it—more than one hundred and seventy feet in height.f.Having ascertained that he could ; perform this feat, a small pack of thread was attached to the stone, but the resist ance of the air to the thread prevented his casting the stone more than half the height of the column. Next an Indian bow and arrow was obtained, but the ar rows would not rise above a hundred feet, A rifle was next obtained, and experi i ments were made inside the column by shooting the ramrod, with a packthread attached upwards, in the hope that it I would fall across a particular brace, but i sometimes the rod took a wrong direction, at others the thread was burned off by the powder, and this plan failed. At last a pigion, with a packthread tied to its legs, was started on its flight up wards, inside the column, and by dint of whooping and shouting by the persons below, the bird was frightened into a I continuance of his flight, and he rested i on the very brace over which it was de ; sired to cast the thread. A pistol was then | fired to startle him from his perch : and i he luckily descended upon the right side of tho column. The packthread was ! caught, a heavier cord was attached and I drawn up, then heavier and stronger i cords until a rope of sufficient size was | secured over the brace to enable the rig -5 gers to proceed with safety to the work | of refitting the machinery in complete or der for future operations. Losses iu Austrian and American Rattles. The New York Herald observes that the losses in the battle of Solferino were rela tively much smaller than of some Ameri can battles. Iu the battle of Solferino, 400,000 troops were engaged fourteen hours. Total loss on both sides 29,375, or only about seven per cent, of tlie num bers engaged. At Bunker Ilill 43 per cent, of the whole were left on the field ; at Chippewa 21 per cent.; at Buena Yista 17 per cent; at Molino del lley the American loss was 23 per cent. ; the Mexicans, in killed, wounded and prisoners, about 33 per cent. If the two armies at Solferino had fought with the destructiveness of Chip pewa, their loss would have been 84,000 instead of 20,000, or, if the battlo had been as bloody as Melino del lley, their loss would have been 92,000. There has been nothing in the late bat tles in Europe to alarm anybody either in England or America with the military prowess of either French or Austrians. The new fire-arms which were to prove so destructive have turned out like the cru sade for Italian independence, “great cry and little wool.” If they have any pecu liar merit, they’ can be used with more efficiency by a people accustomed to arms, and good marksmen from childhood. With the advantage of discipline, and proper attention to bayonet exercise, Americans will make the best soldiers of the world, combining the solidity of the English with the impetuosity of the French.— Richmond Dispalch. N nut ic a 1 I>og. Oil board the ship Derby, Capt. Hutch inson, lately sailed for the East Indies, is a stout brindle bull dog, whose history is somewhat curious. About five years ago, on the morning following a tremendous north-east gale, in the dead of winter, some of tho inhabitants of a small town on Cape Ann, in Massachusetts, descried a w'reck in the offing, and though a heavy’ sea was running, some fishermen put off to her. She was a mass of ice and snow, and a complete wreck. Not a human soul was visible on board —all had been frozen to death and washed overboard : but on tho quarter-deck, crouching under the weather bulwarks, they found a small dog, shivering with cold and vainly’ en deavoring to reach the visitors. They took him with them in tho boat. Soon after the wreck, which seemed to be that of an English vessel, went down, and nothing w r as ever heard of her crew. The pup was taken ashore, and received the name of “ Storm,” which he still bears. A year after the above occurrence, Capt. Hutchinson bought tho dog, who lias i since accompanied his master in all his voyages about the world. Storm has a savage look, common to his race. He never makes friends with other dogs, and has not left the ship he is now attached to for two years. Nothing can tempt him ashore. lie is a faithful watch dog. Storm is always on his dignity—surveys strangers with a sort of well-bred aristo cratic stare, and repels any familiarities except from his master. lie has seen the world, and is in every sense a traveled dog. —San Francisco Herald. Tlie McLnue Treaty. A dispatch from Washington to the Nashville Union on the 26th inst., says McLane's treaty has just been received at Washington. Speaking of its provis ions, the dispatch says it gives us the right of way across the Northern states between the llio Grande and Torts on the Gulf of California, with guarantee for their protection and safety. The right of way and valuable transit privileges are secured to the American Company hold ing the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with the privilege of erecting ware houses at the termini of the several transit routes. The right of transportation of troops and mu-- nitions over such routes, and to send and protect troops if Mexico fails to do so : the free entry and transit of goods be longing or consigned to American citizens of Arizona, throughout the ports of the Gulf of California and across Sonora.— Entire and unquestionable freedom of re ligious opinion and worship throughout the Republic, and lastly there is a clause indicating the willingness of the Mexican Government to accept, in a modified form, the protectorate of the United States whenever the latter signifies readiness for such an engagement. l,or<l Stanley on tiie Armistice. An article in the London Saturday Tress, ascribed to Lord Stanley, con cludes thus: “ present, the most enthusiastic ad mirers of Napoleon 111. must admit that, however noble and just may be his aspi rations, Lis promises are absolutely nu gatory. A nqw declaration that the Em pire in peace would be at the utmost only understood to mean that two or three years were required to recruit the finan ces, to fill up the gaps in the army, and to replace the contents of the arsenals. On the day after a general peace no State in Europe could know whether it might not be involved in a quarrel as ground less as that which wa< premeditated against Austria from the Conferences of Paris, or- perhaps from the capture of Sevastopol. Heroic, sentimental and popular Era Uiavola is still a brigand. Thilanthropy and Liberalism, while ap plauding his achievements in considera tion of their immediate object, neverthe less scarcely allect to deny that they would sleep sounder under the protection of the police.” . ARRIVAL of The steamek Cotton Declined 1-8 to l-4d- Farther Point, July 29. — The steam ship Ocean Queen, from Southampton, j was boarded off Cape Race to-day, by the boat of the Associated Press. She brings ] Liverpool dates to Wednesday, July 20th. Liverpool Cotton Market. The sales of cotton lor the three days previous to the 20th, were 17,000 bales, of which specu- j lators took 2,000, and exporters 2,000 ‘ bales. All qualities had declined from Jd. to ]J. The market was very dull. ‘ Clare Sons, in their circular, quote Mid dling Orleans 7 3-10d., and Middling Up lands G] to 7d. Holders offer freely, but show no disposition to press sales. London Money Market. —Consols were quoted at 95] to 95]. SECOND DISPATCH. The Ocean Queen arrived off Cape llace at 8 o’clock, 30 minutes this morning— having left the Needles (in the English Channel,) on the morning of the 21st. No general news had been received at Liverpool up to the time of the steamer’s sailing. The steamer Nova Scotian reached Liv erpool on the 19th. Stale of Trade —Manchester advices un favorable. Business dull, but steady. THIRD DISPATCH. General News. —ln England, Glad stones budget shows a deficiency of about five millions sterling. He recommends additional taxation, duties on malt spirits and tea. Also farther increase of the in come tax. Napoleon’s funds were reported buoy ant. The subscribers to the Austrian loan have been released from their obligations. Anew Ministry has been formed at Turin : Marmora, the minister of war, is President of the Council. The Bank of Berlin had lowered its 1 rates to four. Liverpool General Markets. —Richardson and Spence, in their circulars, report flour very dull; French was offered at j further reduction. They quote American at 10s. to 12s. GJ. Wheat dull, but firm. Corn dull—all qualities European slightly j declined, owing to heavy arrivals. Beef heavy—quotations nominal.

Farther Point, (off Quebec,) July 29. —lu England, to supply the deficit in the revenue, Mr. Gladstone prefers direct taxation to other means. lie proposes to j add four per cent, to the income tax, and to assess additional duties on Malt Spirits and Tea. Sugar is to be exempt. Arrival of tHe Anglo-Saxon. Farther, Point, (off Quebec,) July 29. —The steamship Anglo-Saxon has arrived The news was anticipated by the Ocean Queen. There was nothing additional known in regard to the basis of peace. The discontent was apparently increasing, and particularly in Italy. Napoleon had arrived at St. Cloud. The Queen of Portugal, Maria Da Glo ria, is dead. The Liverpool General Market report is as follows : Sugar and Coffee were dull; Rice steady. In London Wheat had slightly’ declined, and Sugar was dull at Gd. decline. The Paris corresjiondent of the London Post says that both of the Emperors of Austria and France, are convinced that the basis of the recent treaty’ was too hastily made, and iu many respects its stipulations are impracticable. There will be no European Congress. The representatives of France, Austria and Sardinia, will shortly convene to-con clude a treaty. The Emperors ignore any neutral intervention. Important dispatches from Lord Pal merston, dated June 22d, have found their way into print. They’ strangely urge Russia to remain neutral. The leading English papers, including the London Post, attack the treaty. There is great agitation at Florence. The provisional government has issued a proclamation acknowledging the treaty, but the Tuscan government and people object to being replaced under Austrian influence. g A corps of fifty thousand French troops will remain iu Italy’ until the re-organi zation of the country. The most important towns in the Ro man States had sent deputations to Gari baldi. Modena and Parma are said to bo in a state of revolt. The Austrian troops keep their position as if thero had been no declaration of peace. Tho Times’ correspondent says that peace produced the greatest exasperation and defection at Turin. The Emperor was accused of being a traitor to Italy, and his reception was very cold. N'icßi-agunu Heirs. Washington, July 30.—Advices receiv ed here from Nicaragua, give assurance that the Congress of that country will ratify the Lamar-Zeledon treaty, omitting the filibuster clause. It is believed that Judge Bowlin will go as Minister to Central America. Steaiuslilji Huntsville at Cliarlcston. Chakleston; July 29.—The Huntsville has been brought into port, and is now alongside the Southern wharf. The cot ton in her hold is on fire, and the firemen are playing on it.

Patriot says that half a cranberry, put on a corn, wiil kill it in a single night. 4 Tlie Last Scene es Walhlngt"f's Life. Irvine’s Lew life of Washington, in tive volumes, has ju-t been completed. In the fifth volume, after giving a suc cinct narrative of the Administration of Washington, his retirement from office, and his mode of life at Mount Vernon, . Mr. Irving brings the work to a close with the following description of the final scene: Winter had now set in, with occasional wind, and rain, and frost, yet Washington still kept up his active rouud of indoor and outdoor avocations, as his diary re cords. He was in full health and vigor, dined out occasionally, and had fre quent guests at Mount Vernon, and, as usual, was part of every day in the sad dle, going the rounds of bis estates, and in his military phraseology, “visiting the outposts.” lie had recently walked with his favor ite nephew about the grounds, showing the improvements he intended to make, and had especially pointed out the spot where he purposed building anew family vault, the old one being damaged by the roots of trees which had overgrown it and caused it to leak. “ This change,” said he, “ I shall make the first of ail, for I may require it before the rest.” “When I parted from him,” added the nephew, “he stood on the Steps of the front door, where he took leave of myself and another. It was a bright frosty morning; he had taken his usual ride, and the clear healthy flush on his cheek, and his sprightly manner, brought the remark from both of us that we had never seen the General look so well. I sometimes thought him decidedly the handsomest man I ever saw, and when in a lively mood, so full of pleasantry, so agreeable to all with whom he associated, that I could hardly realize he was the same Washington whose dignity awed all who approached him.” For some time past Washington had been occupied in digesting a. complete system on which his estate was to be managed for several succeeding years; ; specifying tbe cultivation of the several farms, with tables designing the rotation of crops. It occupied thirty folio pages, ; and was executed with that clearness and method which characterized all his busi ness papers. This was finished on the 10th of December, and was accompanied by a letter of thatdato to his manager, or steward. It is a valuable document, showing the soundness and vigor of his ; intellect at this advanced stage of istence, and the love of order that reigned throughout his affairs, “My greatest anxiety,” said he on a previous occasion, “ is to have all these concerns in such a clear and distinct form that no reproach may attach itself to jne when I have taken my departure for the land of spirits.” It is evident, however, that, full of health and vigor, he looked forward to his long cherished hope, the enjoyment of a serene old age in this home of his heart. According to his diary, the morning on which these voluminous instructions to his steward were dated, was clear and calm, hut the afternoon was lowering. The next day—the 11th—he notes there was wind and rain, and “ at night a circle around the moon.” The morning of the 12th was overcast. That morning he wrote a letter to Hamil ton, heartily approving of a plan for a nNl&ary academy, which the latter had Secretary of War. About lie mounted his horse and rode out asusn'aHo make the rounds of his estate. The ominous ring round the moon, which he had observed on the preceding night, proved a fatal portent. “About 1 o’clock,” he notes, “it began to snow, soon after to hail, and then turned to a settled cold rain.” Having on an overcoat, ho continued his ride without regarding the weather, and did not return to his house till after 3. llis Secretary approached him with letfers to he franked, that they might be j taken to the post-ojlice in the evening, i Washington franked the letters, but ob ! served that the weather was too bad to send a servant out with them. Mr. Lear perceived that snow was hanging from his hair, and expressed his fears that lie had got wet; but he replied, “No, his coat had kept him dry. As dinner had been waiting for him, lie sat down to the table without changing his dress. “In the evening,” writes his secretary, “he appeared as well as usual.” On the following morning the snow was three inches deep and was still falling, which prevented him from taking his usual ride. He complained of a sore throat, and had evidently taken cold the day before. In the afternoon the weather cleared up, and he went out on the grounds between the house and the l iver, to mark some trees which were to be cut down. A hoarseness which had hung about him through the day grew worse toward night, but he made light of it. lie was very cheerful in the evening, as lie sat in the parlor with Mrs. Wash ington aad Mr. Lear, amusing himself with the papers which had been brought from the post-oilice. When he met with anything interesting or entertaining, he would read it aloud as well as his hoarse ness would permit, or he listened and made occasional comments while Mr. Lear read the debates of the Virginia As sembly. On retiring to bed, Mr. Lear sug ] gested that he should take something to ‘relieve his cold. “No,” replied he, “jrou know I never take anything for a cold. Let it go as it came.” In the night lie. was extremely ill with the ague and difficulty of breathing. Le i tween two an 4three o’clock in the morn ing be awoke Mrs. Washington, who would have risen to call a servant, but be would not permit her, lest she should take cold. At daybreak, when the ser vant woman entered to make a fire, she was sent to call Mr. Lear. He found the General breathing with difficulty, and hardly able to utter a word intelligibly. Washington desired that Dr. Craik, who lived in Alexandria, should be sent for, and that in the meantime Rawlins, one of the overseers, should be summoned to bleed him, before the Doctor could ar rive. A gargle was prepared for his throat, but whenever he attempted to swallow any of it, he was convulsed and almost ’ suffocated. Rawlins made his appear ance soon after sunrise, but when the General’s arm was ady for the opera tion, became agit ted. “Don’t be afraid,” said the Gt eral, as well as lie could speak, Rawlins made an incision. “ The orifice is not large enough,” said Washington. The blocd. however, ran pretty freely, and Mrs. Washington un certain whether the treatment was prop er, and fearful that too much blood might be taken, begged Mr. Lear to stop it.— When he was about to untie the string, the General put up his hand to prevent him. ond as soon as he could speak, mur mured’ 1 more, more: ’ but Mrs. Washing ton’s doubts p revailed, and the bleeding was stopped, after half a p int of brood had been taken. External applications were now made to the throat, ami his feet were bathed in warm water, but without affording any relief. His old friend, Dr. Craik, arrived be tween eight and nine, aud two other Physicians, Drs. Dick and Brown, were called in. Various remedies were tried, and additional bleeding, but all of no avail. “ About half past 1 o’clock,” writes Mr. Lear, “he desired me to call Mrs. Washington to his bed-side, when he re quested her to go down into his ro6m, and take from his desk two wills, which she would find there, and bring them to him, —which she did. Upon looking at them, he gave her one, which he observ ed was useless, as being superseded by the other, and desired her to burn it, — which she did, and took the other and put it into her closet. After this was done, I returned to his bedside and took liis hand. lie said to me, “ I find I am going; my breath can not last long. I from the first that the disorder would prove fatal. Do you arrange all my miltary letters and piapers. Arrange my accounts and settle my books, as you know more about them than any one else, and let Mr. Rawlins finish recording my other letters which he has begun. Itoill him this iiiouid be done. He theft asked me if i recollected anything.which it was essential fur him to do, as he had a very short time to con tinue with us. I told him that 1 could recollect nothing: but that 1 hoped he was sot so near his end. He observed, smiling, that he certainly was, and that it was a debt which we must all pay, he looked’to the event with perfect resigna tion.” In the course of ‘.he afternoon he ap peared to be in great pain and distress from the difficulty of breathing, and fre quently changed bis posture in tbe bed. Mr. Lear endeavored to raise him and turn him with as much ease as possible. “ I am afraid I fatigue too much,” the General would say. Upon being assured to the contrary, “ Well,” observed he. gratefully, “ it is a debt we must all pay to each other, and I hope when you want aid of this kind you will find it.” His servant, Christopher, had bean in the room dniing the day, and almost the whole time on his feet. The General no ticed in the afternoon, and kindly told him to sit down. About five o’clock Dr. Craik came again into the room, nml approached the bedside. “Doctor,” said the General, “I die hard, but lam not afraid to go. I believed from my first attack, that I should not survive it—my breath cannot last long.” The Doctor pressed his band in silence, retired from the bedside, and sat by the fire absorbed in grief. Between five aud six the other Physi cians came in, and he was assisted to sit up in his bed. “I feel I am going,,” said he; I thank you for your attentions, but I pray you no more trouble about me; let me go off quietly; I cannot last long. He lay down again; all retir ed except Dr. Craik. The General continued un easy and restless, but without complain ing, frequently asking what hour it was. Further remedies were tried without avail in the evening, lie took whatever was offered him, did as ho was desired by the Physicians, and never uttered a | sigh or complaint. “About 10 o’clock,” writes Mr. Lear, I “lie made several attempts to speak to Ime before be could effect it. At length he said “I am just going. Have rue decently buried, and do not let my body , be put into the vault in less than three ; days after lam dead.” I bowed assent, for I coud not speak. He then looked j at me again and said, “Do you under j stand me?” I replied “Yes.” ‘Tis well,’ j said he. About ten minutes before he expired (which was on the night of December 14, 1799,) bis breathing became easier. He lay quietly; he withdrew his hand from mine and felt his own pulse. I saw his countenance change. I spoke to Dr. Craik, who sat by the fire. He came to the bed side. The General’s hand fell from his wrist, I took it in mine and pressed it to my bosom. Dr. Craik put his hand over his eyes, and he expired without a strug gle or a sigh. , While we were fixed in silent grief, | Mrs. Washington, who was seated at the i foot of the bed, asked with a firm and collected voice, “Is he gone?” I could not speak, but held up my hand as a sig nal that he was no more. ‘ ’Tis well,” said she, in the ssine voice. “All is now over; 1 shall soon follow liitn ;*I have no mgre trials to pass through.” — : Tlie iiriiisli Minister in Mexico. We have received during the week, di i rect from tho Mexican Capital, further proof that'we were justified, some time since, in asserting that Mr. Otway, Her Britannic Majesty’s Minister, there resi -1 dent, had been found wanting in his duty I to his countrymen on the spot, and to the national reputation abroad. But it is not { worth while to enter at length into these matters. The first step towards relief is at hand. Lord John Ilussell, in the House of Commons, in reply to some re marks made by Mr. Schneider on tho la mentable condition of alfairs in the South ern republic, and the neglect of British interest and protection, volunteered these words : “With regard to Mr. Otway, he lias lately received leave of absence, and I think it desirable that he should come to this country to answer the charges which have been made against him. He him self says that those charges are totally unfounded, but I regret to say that he has not laid before me such facts as would enable me to form a judgment.” Wo interpret these expositions as indi cative of Mr. Otway’s recall, and we hon estly hope that our interpretation is cor rect. The sooner British and American interests are made to harmonize in Mex ico the better for that country, for this, and for the “Old. Country.”— V. ). A/- I Aon. An important caso of alleged seduc tion, in which the paracs involved were in tlie highest circles, was brought to light recently in Brooklyn. The alleged victim is a beautiful young girl, eighteen years old, and the niece of a man who formerly held one of the highest county offices in that city. The alleged seducer is a young man only twenty years old, and a son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families iu Brooklyn, lie was arrested and taken privately before Jus tice Blatchly, who held him for trial to wait examination. Last summer the young lady took the tour to Europe with her family. A short time ago she gave birth to a child, and had it left at the house of her alleged seducer. • Fatal Accident.

Ninety years ago, at the commencement of our manufacturing career, the popula tion of Britain was about eight millions. Now it has reached twenty-one millions. If it were not for cotton, we could not keep our millions in England, clustering in masses round tbe central manufactur ing towns.
