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.

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 > "n il cnns'sti ntly with tliegced n ine of tin 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 | -ord'al and undivided support of its institution.' i and laws, t will only express the hope that I what ver else nny serve tn promote the public j welfare, mul add iliguity to the State, whetliei i ■ d b.> th; eneouragenxmt of agriculture, the ex- i I tension of of commerce, the introduction of arts i I of the advancement of public education and re-1 i ligious freed nn. will obtain from vou a zealous : I mid effret ive co-operation.

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.

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.” Post Office Deppjtnent.

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. : Sickness ix Pulaski.—Never in onr recol lection. have we known of so much sickness as j as prevails at present in cur county.
