Murder of the Japanese Regent.
The North China (Shanghue) Herald,
of May 2d, gives the following account
of the assassination of the Prince Re
gent of Japan, which it will be seen
differs from all others yet received:
There was hitherto a doubt as to the
fate of the Regent of this Kingdom,
who, it will be remembered, was at
tacked by a party of the followers of
the Prince of Milto when proceeding to
the palace of the Tycoon, on the 2lth
of March last. The doubt, however,
did not exist among the Japanese au
thorities, who knew, but concealed the
fact of hit death, announcing publicly
that he was only dangerously wouud-
Accounfs recently received from that
country State that the Prince was on
his way from his own palace, which is
about one-third of a mile from the
great bridge leading to the inner palace
of the Tycoon, to whom he was going
to pay a visit, seated in his ornomon
(sedan chair or palankeen,) and sur.
rounded by a large staff Of attendants.
As the procession was about to cross
the bridge,'at a point where another
road meets it, they were suddenly as
sailed by six'een or eighteen men, who,
throwing off their rain coats, (it was
raining at the time,) appeared in full
armor, and rushed on, cutting through
the Regent’s party, against all opjic
sition, to the Prince's ornomon, whte!
they pierced with their swords, and cut
off his head, with, which one of them
escaped, whilst another, cutting off the
head of one of the retainers, exclaim
ed, ‘‘I have the Regent’s head,” thus
diverting attention from him who real
ly possessed it. He esenped through
one of the principal gates without be
ing stopped by the officer or. duty, who
for this negligence was commanded to
commit suicide the next morning.—
Two of the party performed the disem
boweling process on the spot. They
lhave all been apprehended but two.—
|Ten thousand of the Prince’s depend
ants are said to have arrived in Yeddo
(from his provinces, a few days after the
event, equipped for war.
he Great Prize Drill to Come Off at
Memphis.
Tho following extract from a letter of
the Captain of the Columbus (Qa.)
Guards, which has just been published
fixes the sceno of the great drilling
match in which tho Guards are to en
gage against the Chicago Zouaves
“The Columbus Guards will meet the
United States Zouave Cudols of Chicago,
at- Memphis in the State of Tennessee,
in the month of May mxt the day to
be hereafter named—scientific tacticians
to bo choson as umpires.
“In addition to the infantry and light
infantry tactics <rf Scott mid Hardee, if
Capt Ellsworth Inis any other system for
foot troops in use in his company, which
is of any utility, and will furnish tne
with a copy, the Columbus Guards will
meet the United States Zouave Cadets
of Chicago in them. On the other hand,
I will present Capt. Ellsworth with n
copy of the rules written for tho Cnluir-
bus Guards by myself, modifying and
applying the rule for manantvering a
battallion by tho rear-rank ns prescribed
by Scott and Hardee, to the movements
of a detached company.
“Tho Columbus Guards discard with
out roservo all lancy movements as un
worthy the attention of any military
company ; but in doing so they are not
to lie understood ns declining to drill
with the United States Zouave Cadets
of Chicago in any tactics for foot troops;
thereby demonstrating the relative qual
ities of the two companies, not as purude
soldiers, but us efficient military organi
zations. PAUL J. 8EMMES,
“ Captuin."
Mr Bell’s Record. -Several Demo
cratic papers have slated, in general
terms, that Mr. Bull has invariably vo
ted against Sout h.. Wotisl; them to tell
us if the following resolution ottered as
an amendment by Jeff. Davis, io 1850,
was against the South? Read it and
answer:
“That nothing herein contained shall
be construed so auto prevent said Ter
ritorial Legislatures from passing such
laws as may be necessary *br the protec
tion of the rights of property of every
kind which may be hereafter, coniform-
ably to the Constitution und laws of the
United States, held in or introduced in
to, said Territory.”
John Bell voted for the amendment.
During the discussion of the Compro
mise Measures, that great man, John
M. Berrien, introduced an amendment
providing that no laws should be passed
by a Territorial Legislature "either es
tablishing or prohibiting slavery.”—
John Bell voted for it. Let Douglas
and Breckinridge show such a re
cord, if they cau.—Selma (Ala.) Repor

The Prince of Wales at St. Johns.
St.Johns, N. F., July *26.—Yester
day nddreses were presented to the
Pnnre, to which he replied as fellows:
'1 sincerely thank you for the addres
ses presented to me, and for the hearty
weloomo received from all on my land
ing on the shores of this, the earliest
colonial possession of the British Crown.
I trust you will not think me regard-
lesiof your loyalty, if I acknowledge
these addresses collectively. .It will af
ford me the. greatest satisfaction to re
port to the .Queen the devotion to. her
Crown and person unmistakably evinc
ed by the reception of her son elo
quently expressed in the addresses
from various bodies in this town and
Harbor de Grace. I am charged hy the
Queen to convey to you-the assurance
of the deep concern she has ever felt
in this interesting portion of her domin
ions. I shall carry back a lively recol
lection of this day’s proceedings, and of
your kindness to myself, personally,
but above all of those hearty demon
strations of patriotism which prove
your deep-rooted attachment to the
great ana free country of which we all
glory to bo called the sons.”
The Prince pleases tho populace im
mensely by his handsome countenance
and mild gentlemanly bearing.
He drives out to day.
There will be a dinner pnrty at the
Government House this evening, and a
ball at 10 o’clock to-night-.
Tlie fire-works last night were a poor
affair.
To-day is a beautiful clear day for
the regatta.
Amehicans with Gasibaldi.—A con
siderable number of Americans have
joined the army of Garibaldi. A young
Virginian left Paris on the lltli inst,
with a commission ns lieutenant lie had
just received from headquarter at Pa
lermo. .
Significant.—A little incident occur
red in this county a few days since,
which we deem of sufficient impor'ance
to make it known to our readers.—
Twenty-three persons—all voters—Imd
casually dropped in at the house of a
neighbor, merely to pass off u few hours
in social converse. The subject of poli
tics incidentally coming up, it- was lound
that they were all for Bell and Everett
but one. This assemblage was entirely
accidental, and merely a promiscuous
meeting. It is worthy of further re
mark that this incident took place in
one of the strongest democratic Dis
tricts in the county.—Harris County En
terprise.
Accident to Mb. Stephens.—We re
gret to learn that tiiis distinguished
gentleman met with a painful, though
we hope not at all serious acoidi nt
one day last week. Ilis foot, or rather
the heel of his shoe, caught in the door
sill or carpet strip os he was going out,
and he was thrown violently to the
ground—a distance of four or live feet,
fell upon his face which was much
bruised and scratched by the gravelly
surface upon which he fell.—Southern
Runner. _
jjgyTho call for the late Bell and Ev
erett meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio was
signed hy two thousand voters; and
the Times (an independent journal of
that city) states that the signatures to
the paper wevc not solicited os is usual,
but were voluntarily given.
8@-The Breckinridgers in Jtheir des
peration are claiming a great many mcti
who are not of them. Our informa
tion is that Judge Iloit is for Bell first,
lust and all the time. Dr. Miller may
feel himselfcommitted to vote for Breck
inridge, though he prefers Bell. Col.
Tidwell may jmsib/y vote for Breckin
ridge, but that is extremely doubtful. -
Such is our information is regaid to
these gentlemen.—Chron. <£* Sen.
