Adulteration of Lard.— -The New York Journal
' of Commerce says :
Our remarks a lew days since about the adultera
tion of lard for shipment, it appears, excited a sus
picion that perhaps the same thing had been at
tempted for the home trade. Some adulterations
were formerly practised with Indian meal, but that
discolored the lard, and the improvement on this
art, lately imported from England, provides for
the substitution of farina, which assimilates so
closely to the genuine article as not to he detect
ed by inspection. The suspicion excited by our
comments was farther confirmed by the recol
lection that some of the dealers in lard, who had
purchased almost daily in the market, were also
sellers at a price below the cost of their invest
ment, and vet appeared to do a thriving bu
siness. A test was now applied to a lot thus re
sold to a Boston dealer, and the lard was subjected
to the fire, when lo ! the owner had not onlv a |
kettle of lard, but also a good sized Johnny cake, i
nicely fried in the boiling fat. Shade of Bunker j
Hill ! only think of a genuine from the counter 1
where wooden nutmegs are natives of the soil, •
taking home with him such a mixture. A Yan- '
kee is never at a loss, and we have no doubt that a
descendant of the man who made such a specula
tion by shipping warming-pans to the West Indies,
and turning them to good account as sugar ladles,
will invent a new system of selling doughnuts al
ready to be fried upon the application of a lucifer
match, out of this doubtful investment.
Spanish Silver Coin.— It is stated that the Fi
nance Committee of the United States Senate have
matured a project designed to lead to the gradual
abandonment and ultimate rejection of the small
Spanish silver coins as part of the circulating me
dium and that it will forthwith be submitted to
legislative action. The result of the experiments
I to ascertain the value of the Spanish sixteenth,
eighth and quarter of a dollar, is reported to the
i Committee as indicating the first to be worth a
: fraction over five cents, the second about eleven,
j and the quarter about twenty-three and twenti -
j four cents. The bill they have framed is believed
| to provide that the existing laws authorizing the
■ circulation and establishing a value of all foreign
coins, except the Spanish fractional divisions of
the dollar, be at once repealed. As to these trac
tions, thev allow them to oe circulated for two
years at the value of five, ten and twenty cents re
spectively, and thereafter they are to be excluded
1 altogether from circulation. But at the mint they
j will, at all times be received as bullion, and paid
j for by weight.
• i From the Correspondence of the Savannah News.
Washington, March 13, 1855.
i . The case of Martin Speer, which is-now attract
[ I tng universal attention, (from the fact that our
| Minister, Col. Henry It. .Jackson, it appears, is
about to suspend diplomatic relations with Count
I «uol, and leave the Austrian capitol on this man’s
account is one of the most important as regards
the rights of an American abroad, that has ever
occurred in the history «f our foreign relations. A
greater case of outrage and oppression cannot be
conceived.
Mr. Martin Speer, a citizen of Brooklyn, New
York, by trade a glass painter, while in the Aus
trian dominions upon business altogether of a pri
vate and innocent nature, was arrested by the
police, kept in solitary confinement for seven
months, not allowed to make his situation known
to the L. S. Legation at Vienna; and then after
repeated secret examinations before a Police Mag
istrate, upon the clearest evidence of bis innocence,
was convicted of high treason, and sentenced to
ten years hard labor in irons, upon the trenches at
Therienstadt, Bohemia.
Upon the case being brought to the notice of
the American Minister, Col. Jackson, he promptly
interfered to effect the release of Speer, and after
a correspondence with the Austrian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, he being convinced that Martin
Speer was not only innocent of any crime, but had
been most outrageously treated by the Austrian
authorities, Mr. Jackson (without waiting instruc
tions from his Government,) made a formal
for the release of Speer.
Mr. Speer has a wife and five children in New
York, who are naturally much distressed at his sit
uation.
Considerable curiosity is manifested in this city
to peruse the correspondence, as it is intimated by
those who profess to be informed, that Col. Jack
son’s response to Count Buol in making bisdemand
for the release of Speer, in point of ability, will
compare with either Marcy’s Koszta letters, or Web
ster’s reply to M. Hulseman. Truth.
Embalming a Wife.— The following curious cir
cumstance is just now creating some merriment in
commercial circles. A Yankee captain, whose
cargo was consigned to Messrs. Haring & Co., bad
the misfortune to lose his wife, who was on board
with him on the voyage, and being reluctant to
throw the body overboard, resolved upon bring
ing her to England, there to receive proper sepul
ture. A portion of his cargo consisted of oil of
cinnamon, ’i he captain took a sufficient quautitv,
aud placed the body in it, thus eventually embalm
ing it for the remainder of the voyage. On arriv
ing at the port of London, the 5 ankee captain
called upon the parties to whom the oil was con
signed, aud requested to know how much he was
to pay for the quantity of oil he had used. He
was astounded at being told that the value of the
oil so used was £OOO, and that he must immediate
ly pay over that sum. Os course this was out of
the question; and the captain was soon afterwards
arrested for that amount, but was bailed bv
Messrs. Baring, who, it is reported, have satisfied
the owners.
The custom authorities having been made ac
quainted with the circumstances, refused to allow
the cinnamon oil to be landed. The Yankee cap
tain will have to take the cinnamon oil back to
America, and there dispose of it. The oil is used
for flavoring pies, pastry and perfumery.
London News.
Beggars in America. —Under this head a late
French paper says that sometimes people in the
United States go about begging with the greatest
coolness. The editor then cites in proof, a case
which he says occurred in New York, where a wo
man called upon a family to ask for a subscription
to buy a piano ! As an excuse, she said that sever
al of her friends had them, she herself wanted to
learn the instrument, but could not afford to buv
one!
Now, we can tell as good a storv as this, which
has come under own experience liere in New Or
leans, and within the past week. A female, dressed
m deep black, called upon us for money, telling a
piteous story of misfortune. She said'that a ves
sel, on board of which herself, husband and chil
dren had taken passage, bad caught on lire and
burnt, that they bad lost their all, that her hus
band, unable to stand up under the misfortune,
had died, and that she was forced to ask for mo
ney. “But, do you not wish for employment?”
said we in our innocence ; “is there nothing which
von can do to help support yourself and family?”
“Ob! no,” was tlie quick response; “ f wish to
raise money to buy a small house and farm in the
country, where I can bring up my children res
pectably and comfortably!” This woman, we
would have the French editor know, was one of his
own country women, from Lyons as she says, and
she goes about with a paper, detailing the burning
of a vessel on some river in France, on which her
self and husband had taken passage, with all the
particulars of the loss of her property. Perhaps
she is a sister of the woman in New York, who is
trying to raise money to purchase a piano.

Rather Queer Marriages. —ln Bracken county,
Ky., Esq. Schoolfield recently united in marriage ;
a bov aged fifteen years, weight seventy pounds, to
a lady aged twenty-one years and weighing onehun
dredandfifty poumU. In the same house, at an

aforesaid youthful bridegroom was married to a
younger sister of the fat bride. The old man was
sixty-five and the girl was seventeen years old.
The boy-husband is brother-in-law to his father,
and the old man’s wife is step-mother to her bro
ther-in-law. The house where these marriages oc
curred is a little cabin constructed of round logs, ,
and located in a deep hollow between two lofty
hills, where the sun is visible only four hours dur

ness, so much so that in her matters of business |
she would not be attended to by any other assistant, ' ,

ship's residence, but Mr. Laidler, On the death of j
