The Sound Dues.
The controversy now pending lietween th<
United States and Denmark relative to ilu
Sound Dues, gives interest to the following para
graphs, cut from the columns of a cotcuiporaiy
journal:
“The ‘Sound - is a narrow strait lying between
the Island of Zetland, belonging to the Danes
and the Swedish cnast. and gives entrance to tin
Baticsea. The fortress of Cronburg Cast U I
commands tiie passage, and exacts a pay men:
from all vessels entering the Baltic, the ships
of Denmark herself having to pay as weli n<-
foreign tonnage. The origin of this exaction
is that in ancient times Denmark undertook t<
build and sustain Certain light-honses along iln
coast, for which the Hansetowns agreed to pay ;
toll.
“England, French, Holland, and Sweden pay
a duty of one per cent, on every cargo enterni;
the Baltic. Other countries, including th: U> -,
ted States, pay one and a quarter per' cent. ev \ :
Danish ships are taxed to this rate. In the ;
year 1826. a treaty recognising this duty was
concluded In’twcen the United States and 1 )e;>- j
mark. This treaty, however, according to one ■
of its stipulations, may be dissolved by either ol'
the partis, provided it gives one year’s notice <>
its mtentl >u."ar.d th.i requis t i nothe having j
been given by the United States Government
in April last, the treaty will terminate next

From California.
By the arrival of the Star of the West, at !
Now York, we have dates from California to I
the sth of September.
From Central America. —Our dates from
San del Norte are to the loth of September.—
The Central American, No. 1. Sept.. 15. is a
new paper just issued at San Juan del Norte,
bv W. 11. Young, is an organ of Col. Kinney,
and contains some significant news. By it we
learn as follows :
A mass meeting of the citizens of San Junii
del Norte or Grey Town, was held on the 6th
of September, at. which it was resolved, in sab
stance as follows: That st Provisional Gov
ernment was necessary—that u Civil and Mili
tary Governor be therefore chosen by the peo
ple; that a Council, consisting of five persons
be also chosen by the people, whose duty it
■dial! b? to advise and cqiisii’t with the Gover
nor on all public matters : that the Council b ■
empowered to draft a Constitution, and that
the Provisional Government continue in force
until a permanent one shall be formed under
the new Constitution. All foreign vessels cx
■■ -pt M lil Steamers entering the harbor shall
pay the same port charges as formerly levied in
this port from and after the first day of Octo
ber next.
After the passing of the resolutions, Col. 11.
L. Kinney was Appointed by nechintalion Civil
and Military Governor of tin- City and Terri*
tory of San Juan del Norte, of Greytown.—
The following persons were elected the mem
bers of the Council, viz. Collins Campbell, Dr.
Thos. Codv, Pillar Esquival, Sam i. Shepherd.
Sr.. A. M’. C. Wood.
On the 7th of September, Col, Kinney was
sworn into office, and on the 12th hist, he is
sued the following proclamation :
Proclamation of Col. Kinney.— Yon have
seen fit by your unsolicited suffrages to elect me
Governor of San Juan and its territory. Thank
ful for the honor thus conferred, I accept it
with a firm determination to make the protec
tion of the public interests committed to my
care the sole motive of my official conduct.
You are now familiar with the purposes
which have brought me to your shores. Con
trary to the malicious rumors which preceded
my arrival, you now see, that I have come not
to rob and destroy, but to build up your city
a.ud your fortunes, and by peaceful emigration
to assist in the development of your entire
country. lam happy therefore in referring to
the election as a flattering and conclusive testi
mony of your confidence in myself, and of the
sympathy and co-operation which yo;,_ she dis
posed to extend to my great under .«>»»,■ g—an
undertaking, to say the least, quite as benefi
cial to yourselves as me.
To carry out these objects of mutual advan
tage, however, it is necessary for us not only
to be united, but to establish such a Constitu
tion and such laws and municipal regulations
as shall secure for us respect and consideration
abiWl as well as at home. The absence of the
customary forms of Government would deter
many desirable persons from settling among us
and' certainly the establishment and mainte
nance of 3'icii forms cannot in any manner op
erate to your prejudice.
I presume, fellow citizens, it is hardly neces
rary here for me to repeat what I have so often
■md so publicly stated to you in conservation
that under my administration all individual
rights acquired in good faith before the founda
tion of the present government shall be scrupu
lously respected. In saying this I speak tin
sentiments of nil associates.
In reference to the long standing difficulties
with the Accessory Transit Company, I am
still in hopes that they will soon be removed by
unicable negotiations which may result in an
irrangement advantageous alike to the Com
pany and to ypn. To est ct such a settlement
without the sacrifice of justice or honor, shall
be the constant aim of my exertions. Mean
while. I would especially urge a steady absti
•icnce from all hasty and merely retaliatory
measures; let no action be taken without fu!
uid calm deliberation, mid let nothing be done
which cannot be justified before the world, oi
which we should be ashamed to vindicate at tin
hazard of <nir property mid our lives.
Notwithstanding the failure of the last Con-;
rress of the United States to make an appro |
iriation remunerating the citizens of San Juan l
for their losses fro n the bombardment oft-eni
■ity by Captain Hollins, there is a cheegri
prospect that justice will, to S'me extent, b;
rendered at its coming session. A measure si
important to the business interests of the pen
pie, and so urgently demanded by every consid
•ration of justice and humanity, cannot be post

American Government. Every iff rt of mine,
wiietber in mi official or private capacity, shall
Iriie exerted to procure from that Republic n i
needy relief to those who are now so nnjiisth i
I priv- d of the proceeds of their own hononi I
bl? industry.
Finally. 1 congratulate you follow citizens i
upon the :w«pieinn« eommcnccmrmt of the new :
’•overmnent which you have established. Bi |
the accessions. t > our population now in pros j
>ect, it is sure, if properly sustained by its i
founders, to become at no dis'aut day au or-1
' ganization of cmnmmid’ng imp<irtaifce to tin !
ciuilized world. Belying, as 1 do. upon yom |

and laws, t will only express the hope that I

welfare, mul add iliguity to the State, whetliei i

at about five to four, and few taken at that,—
Mr. King again commenced the work of slaugh

the next seven, missed his fortieth, killed the
next, missed the next, and killed the following
eight, scoring forty-lbur out of fifty—losing one

i Mr. Cornell shot alternately throughout, as
on the first, day, two for two, killing thirty-sev
en out of forty-two, missed bis forty-third: killed
the next three, missed the forty-seventh, mid
killed Ihe remaining three, scoring forty-three
out of fifty, or eighty-nine out of one hundred,
in the two days shooting, thereby leaving- Mr.
King the winner, killing ninety out of ninety
nine shots, and one bird lost without a shot, his
score being, therefore, ninety out of one hun

A batchelor editor out West, who had recei-
-I from the fair hand of a bride a piece of eh
lant Wedding cake to dream on, thus gives th
result of his experience:
We put it under the head of our pillow, slin
>ur eyes sweetly as an infant, blessed with a
■a-v conscience', soon snored prodigiously. Th
: -I Oi'lreams gently touched its. and 10l in fai
■y. wj were married I Never was a bale editoi

ir* dream had broken off here. But no. fioiu
■vil genius put into the heiul of our ducky t
ivo p.’.d.ling for dinner, just to please her lor 1
In a hunury dream we set down to dinner
Well lire pudding moment arved, and a hug
dice almost obscured from sight the plate befor
“My dear,” said we, fondly, “did you mak< |
iliis?”
■Ye? love, ain’t it nice?’
■Glorious—the best bread pudding I ever tas
ted in my life.'
‘Pmoi pudding, ducky,' suggested my wife
■O, no, dearest, bread pudding. I always wa
fond of'em
'(’all that bread pudding?' exclaimed m;
wile, whi'e her lips slightly curled with contempt
‘Certain'y. my drar—reckon I’ve had er.o igl
at the Sherwood House, to know bread pudding
my love, by all means.’
•Husband—this is really too bad—plum pud
ling is twice as hard to make as bread pudding
and is more expensive, and a great deal better.
I say this is plum pudding, sir!' and ray pretty
wife's brow flushed with excitement.
‘My love, my sweet, my dear love,’ exclaimed
we soothingly, 'do not get angry, I'm sure its
very goed, if it is bread pudding,’
•You mean, low wretch., fiercely replied my
wife, in higher tone, ‘you know its plum pud
ding.’
•Then, ma'am, it is so meanly put together, and
so badly burned, that the devil himself wouldn't
know it. I tell you, madame, most distinctly and
emphatically, and I will not be contradicted
that it is bread pudding, and the meanest kind
at that.’
‘lt is plum pudding,’ shrieked my wife, as she
hurled a glass of claret it my face, the glass it
self tapping the claret from my nose.
•Bread pudding!'gasped we, pluck to the
last and grasping a roasted chicken by the left
leg.
■Plum pudding!’ rose above the din, as I had
a distinct perception or feeling two plates smash
across my head.
‘Bread pudding,’we groaned in rage, as the
chicken left our hand, and flying with swift
wings across the table, landed in madam's
bosom.
■Plum pudding,’ resounded the war cry of the
enemy, as the gravy dish took us where we had
been depositing the first part of our dinner, and
a plate of beets landed upon our white vest.
•Bread pudding forever!' shouted we in defi
ance. dodging the soup tureen, and falling be
neath its contents.
•Plum pudding 1’ yelled the amiable spouse,
ns noticing cm- misfortune, she determined to
keep us down by piling upon our head dishes
with no gentle hand. Then in rapid succession
followed the war cries. Plum pudding!’ she
shrieked with every dish.
‘Bread pudding!'in somthered tones, came up
from the pile in reply. Thoii it was‘plum pud
ding' in rap'd succession, the last cry growing
feebler, till just as I can distinctly recollect it
had grown to a whisper. ‘Plum pudding!’ re
sounded like thunder, followed by a tremiodous
crash, as my wife leaped upon the pile with her
delicate feet, and commenced jumping up and:
down-when, think Heaved, we awoke, and thus j
saved our life. We shall never dream on wed
ding cake again—that's tho moral.
Northern Sebastopol.
On the North side of the harbor, to which;
the Rtuwian carrison liad retreated, and which :
yet remained in tact at the last advices there,'
are:
Fort Constantine, 104 guns
Teleeraph buttery, 17" i
Double range casement batteries, 120 “
Other batteries, 60 “
Double battery, 34 “
Extreme Eastern battery. 20 “
Total. 355 “
In addition to these, there is the Wasp fort,
various earthworks and the great Star fort, ca-'
pable itself of holdingn garrison of 10,000 men.
with an amount of artillery equal perhaps to
two hundred guns, which would give an aggre
gate to the regular forts, batteries and earth
works on the North side of upward* of 500
gun*. These have yet to be taken, but as they
occupy a lino O’’ dills commanding the town,
they cm": >t be taken by bom bardmem from the
opposite side. The Russians (unless they shall
have deemed ii expedient to leave tiie Crimea,)
must be met on those heights before Sebastopol
is completely in the occupation of the enemy.
We must have the issue on the North side, be
fore we can make up our summary of the los
ses of the Russians or the gains of the Allies.
L'” ■ ‘ '
of the Russians iu maintaining themselves it:
the Northern Forts, but says the works there
ere inferior in strength to tliose they have gut
ted, and do not comprise the resources ot
an arsenal and a town, and that they are supplied
with water by wells only. It also says:—"We
1 take the final destruction of the Russian stamers
:by the order* of Prince Gortschakoff, to be a
farther proof of his intention to retreat, other
wise these vessels might have been sheltered for
?. short time under toe large Northern batteries.
From these indications we conclude that the
present obiect ofthe Russian Generals is mainly ■
to save the remains of their army, and the
strategical question which remains to be deter- j
mined by the skill and vigor of the respective'
belligerents, is whether the allied forces will
prevent that object.”

A gentleman was seen making long visits a'
lie Palace of the Champs Elysces, but it wa:
i>t to examine the productions of universal in
bistry, nor to gather up the amusing incid nt
rhich are always taking place in the crow.!.—
I’liis eccentric persons is well known by the
'reqnenters of the Boulevard des Itidien*. as i> |
landy office aiid-thirty, the inheritor of a pro-:
■ irty producing an income of 10 000 francs
md who having nothing to do, an I possesfin
i sensitive heart, made np his mind to mvry
le was smitten with the idea, but he had hi- :
'rars. Footing the bills was what nlarxi
lim. Tho enormous expense which ••vown o'
he present day lavish upon their toilet, canned
iim a legitimate terror. Where should lie find
‘ i young person, modest in her tastes, who would ,
i 'esist the ruinous temptation to dress ? How i
j diould he discover this rare merit? How judge ■
| J her sincerity through the flattering appear
inc s that marriageable young ladies know soi
veil how to assume when in tho pres
ouce of a bachelor.
The exhibition oi industry seemed to him to
'iea good occasion and an excellent field to;
make this trial. To the palaeo in the Champ* ■
E'ysees he won then t > make his observations, i
which he kept, up day after day.
He was seen stationed beside tho cases in i
which were exposed the wonders of th ’ jewel; r's!
.•.rt. or posted in the quarter whore the cashmeres i
.re exposed. Sometimes in the gallery where
the Lyons silks displayed their maguifi-1
cence.
Young ladies who did not know they were
watched, expressed frankly their impressions and
their wishes before ihese wonderful and splend
did articles. “Oh, what beautiful diamonds,
and how fortunate one would be who cou'd
marry and have such.” they cried. “Oh. whal
admirable cashmeres, I will have one like in my |
corbelle, and one like that!'* “But just look
at this one!” “Oh. magnificent, I will have
that too!” “That makes three.” “Ah, well, we
have got halt through the list, a husband who
knows how to live, could he do less than put
six cashmeres into the corbeille ”
Thousands of young ladles expressing them
selves, thus showing their covetousness, their
vanity, their exaction, their coquetry, came be
fore him, and every evening as he quitted his
post, pensive and melancholy, he said, with a
sigh ;
“They are all the same, I must still remain a
bachelor.” Every day the sad truth became
more evident to him. which be bewailed in some
thing like these words:
“At the present time in Paris a gallant man
who has only ten thousand francs income is not
rich enough to marry. He must elelect between
celibacy and ruin.”
But he was wrong to bo sd absolute in his
despair, and to include all the marriageable la
dies in the circle of his reprobation. There are
exceptions, at least there was one.
After three months' distressing trial, the des
pairing bachelor saw a young ladv pass near the
diamond case, who only threw upon the jewelry
a disdainful glance. He followed her to the
cashmeres, she barely threw upon them a care
less look. Laces stretched out like nets did not
detain her a single minute. Rich silks stuffs
found her indifferent, she did not honor them
with a glance. But, on the other. hand, this
extraordinary young person stopped a long I
time before the household utensills, examined 1
them carefully, and made to her mother, who I
accompanied her, very sensible observations}
upon tiie advantages of these various objects,
and the economy which would arise from their i
i use.
Tho bachelor, enchanted and ravished, foliow
;od this admirable young lady—he did not
i breathe freely unii he learned she wasunmarried.
j He asked her hand, her his ten thousand—
! was accepted, and will everlasting bless the uni
j vcrsal exhibition—at last he hope so.
Georgia and Alabama Runaways.—The ’
Richmond Dispatch of last Tuesday lias the I
; following paragraph:
Several days since we noticed the arrest of a j
; man calling himself John Gray, mid hailing I
; from Georgia, who had in h.s possession a black I
I fellow called Thomas Gray, whom he claimed i
!as his slave. At the time the arrest was made
several gentlemen from the South gave it. as
! their opinion that John Gray was not a white I
man, but a slave, and that he was attempting '
i to get to the North. Under these suspicions the 1
Mayor committed the two to jail f r safekeep- 1
ing, since which time both of them have made
e'ean bnatts by c mfessing tl.at they were rrm:-
way slaves, and that one calling him v'f J din
Gray was named Aaron, and belong.’d to Mr.;
William Butts, of Marion, Ga.; while the one
caking himself Thomas Gray, and confessing ■
to be the slave of John Gray, was named Peter,
and belonged to Mr. Brown Barker, of Marengo
county, Alabama. These fellows met in Geor
gia, and according to their own confession there
arranged their plans of escaping to the North.
Aaron being almost white and possessing long,
straight hair, assumed tho position of master,
and taking the railroads conid readily have i
passed unmolested, but for taking lodgings in:
Mr. Lumpkin's house, where most of (heti-udet -
■ st. pjred, and where ho was nt firet suspected.
The two were brought before the Mayor yester
dav. and after being allowed to make their own I
statements, were committed to prison, there to
be safely kept until called for by their owners.
Newspaper Stories About Hayti.—“A
correspondent ofthe New York Tribune, writ
ring from Portau Prince under date nf the IJth
I ultimo, informs us that the Emperor Sou'ouque i
: has founded in that city an institution caded the ’
; -Maison Centrale,’ for thepurosoof instructing'
, youth in mechanical occupations, and that it is'
proving sucessfol. It is under the direction ot' :
Baron Nathaniel Montgomery, an intelligent col
: ored man from the United States during the lat
ter part of the last century. He is described as
possessing extensive chemical and mechanical
i acquirements. The insitution contains a found-,
' rv, smith's shop, and a saw mill."— Bal. Amer.
’ The foregoing story has travelled about far
' enough. There are hardiy ten words of truth
in the whole of it. A miuon centrale was estab
lished there before the Empire, and Montgomery
is nominally its superentendent but nothing has
been done in it for several years, and nothing
ever was done in it of any importance. Mont
gomerv made a little paper there a few years
' ago. which cost probably five dollars a quire,
but what was merely an experiment. There is
’ not a foundry or saw mill on the island of Hayti,
and if there’is any smith shop in the ma icon
' contrcle docs not contain men or tools enough
to seep the establishment in repair. No pupils
were ever instructed in the establishment in any
’ thing, and the whole sum expended in keeping
' it updoes not probably amount to one hundred
Spanish dollars a year.— New York Evening
Poet.

I counsel to such prisoners aa have no one to de
I fend them. On one occasion, the Court finding
I a man accused of theft, without counsel, said to
a wag of a lawyer who was present: “Mr.
fer with him, and give him such counsel as may
be best for his interests.” The lawyer and cli
ent withdrew ; and in fifteen minutes the law
ver returned into Court alone. “Where is the
prisoner ?” asked the Court. “He has gone.'
your Honor told me to give him the best advice
I could for his interest; and. as he was guilty,,
I thought the 'best counsel I _ could offer him
