ARRfcSTOFT HE BRITISH CONSUL. Our paper has made the public aware lhat enlistment for foreign service was going on in this City, and also spoke of the necessity of enquiring what part of the British Consul, Charles Rowecroft, Esq., might have taken in the affair. In accordance with information received, that a party of recruits were to leave this city yesterday morning, for Halifax, Deputy U. S. Marshal, Geo Bennett, Esq., made affidavit before U. S. Commission’ r, W. Warden, Esq , and took out war’ tents, with which, in company with a posse of policement, he arrested thirteen persons at the Miami Railroad Depot •others were arrested at the Union House, f n Front street. Deputy Marshal Ben *nett and Ellis, with policemen minister, also took into custody Charles Rowecroft, Esq., the British Consul, at his residence ■on Fourth street near Ludlow. The prisoners were taken before the U. S ‘Commissioner. Before the Commissioner, the case of ‘Consul Rowecroft, being first [taken up Mr. Ketchum appeared for the Govern ments, and Messprt. King and Taft fori Ijpie defendants. Mr. Ketchum asked that a hearing ot the cases be postponed until he had time to notify the US Attorney of the district, of the arrests, and that he might hava time to properly arrange the evidence of the part of the Government. The defence stating that they were ready for an immediate hearing, opposed a continuance. They did not wish to be under the inconvenience of procuring bail, and they were confident of being able to establish their innocence of the accusation. After some further remarks by counsel, the Court concluded to postpone the ! hearing of the cases until 51 o’clock this afternoon. Consul Rowecroft was not 1 put to the inconvenience of procuring I bail, being allowed to depart 02 his pledge 1 01 honor. The rest of the deleodants 1 were required to give bail for their ap* 1 pearance in the sum of S3OO each • We learn that Mr Rowecroft objected to his arrest, when taken into custodj by the Deputy Marshal, on the ground that as a representative of a foreign govern’ ment, his person was sacred from arrest ; but finding he was very much wanted, he surrendered. We shall give a full ac count of the proceedings before the Com missioner, in our paper to morrow mor ning.—Cin. Sun. A BLACK HEARTED VILLAIN. The masons of Chester, Illinois, have expelled from their lodge one Dr. Gordon, for infamous conduct. The St. Louis Herald gives the following particulars of the occurrence: ‘This Gordon graduated in one of the medical schools of this city, and removed (o Chester with Dr. Ferris. He has an amiable wife and several children. From .vome cause the son of Dr. Ferris disliked Cos don, and they remained enemies un til the death of Dr. Feiris. Gordon then made friends and be’ ii> be I<l. 1 , and >■ •oi| C . ”and . 4 story of g that BBBKBF)’ guilty, tm left return ff'.tir Masons promp tly from their lodge.’ Rules fob^tudv.—The other evening, Professor Davis, the eminent mathemati cian in cooversatian with a young friend of his upon the importance of system in studying, as well as in everything else, fook a piece of paper, and wrote off for ■him the following important rules; 1. Learn one thing at a time- 2. Learn ihat thing well. 3. Learn its connec tions, as far as possible, with all other tilings. 4. Believe that to know every’ thing of something is better than to know something of every thing. A convict in the Indiana Penitentiary at Jeffersonville, 73 years of age, died on Friday night last, of an effection of the heart,* having performed on the day pre vious to fait death, his allotted task in ap’ parent good health. He leaves a proper ty valued at SIOO 000, and was incar cerated for the period of two years for the crime of forgery to the amount of $25! The old chap was miserly in the extreme, denying to himself the smallest luxury beyond the prison fare of bread and water and beef’s head broth. Many anecdotes are related of this old scamp which go-to mark hifh j#_ one of the oddities ot his species. * -As .the* time of his arrest for the alleged forgery he was tendered counsel, who peldged them selves to clear him for a fee of ssoo* To this, the old man replied, that ‘if convict’ ed, the sentence would only be for two years, and he didn’t think he could make his expenses and two hundred and fifty dollars a year out of the penitentiary, and it would cost him nothing to live there, and he would save that much any how.’ British Defeat at Sierra Leone. —The telegraph has already brought in telligence ol the defeat of the English in expedition against the natives of Sierra Leone. * It appears that the expedition was undertaken to enforce the payment of certain indemnities due to English merchants fqr depredations. The troops bad partially destroyed the town of Malfaghea, and on the 23d of May were proceeding to complete the work, when t&ey were surprised by thou sands of the natives, overpowered, and driven from the shore with a loss of 73 1 men of the West Indian regiment, (out of 150 Tank and file season the expedi’ tlon) in kilfed, missing and wounded, with eleven others also wounded, who succeeded in getting off to the ship, mak’ ing a total loss in killed, wounded and missin?, of 94. Os a party of forty men who entered the town first, but five es caped. The chief was subsequently seized, but liberated on condition of his effecting the release of the English prisoners.— Eight of these were delivered up, but the majority wer cruelly murdered. Special Mission to Greece.—We are informed by the Washington Star that Roger A. Pryor, Esq., Junior editor of the Richmond Enquirer, has been ap pointed to a special mission to Greece, charged with the duty, if possible, of set tling the difficulty between the two Gov erments with reference to Dr. King, on which Mr. Marsh, when United States Minister at Constantinople, was long en gaged. The Star adds: The selection of Mr. Pryor for the re sponsible and delicate duty is a cabitai one, for he is a gentleman of great en ergy, industry, and fine attainments, and well-matured judgment, indeed, for his age. He has already won an enviable reputation in connection with his editori al history, and in the last gubernatorial canvass in Virginia nxoved himself to be one of the fi>iedfc[^^|hdß|^CoinmQti are v 1 ■ h act with out them to hail the Mr. P* with acclamation, as a deserved tribute to the influence and character of the fraternity of American journalists. It is said that he sets out for the scene of his labors by the steamer of the 25th lost. ot!7“Toney Procter, a free colored man died at Tallahassee, Florida, on the 16th ult., aged 112 years. It is said he was at the battle of Quebec as the servant of an Eoglish officer, in 1759, which is 96 years ago. He recollected this fact dis tinctly. He was at the beginning of the Revolutionary War in the vicinity of at the time the tea was thrown ■t-board, and afterward at the battle of *|.igton. He came to Florida long He the change of flags, and settled in ■ Augustine, where lie purchased his edom, married and reared a large fam- Hy, During the Florida War he acted as ■lndian interpreter for Gen. Harney. L The Mormons.—A recent account of affairs at Salt Lake City, says: A sad state of affairs exists there. Great numbers are exceedingly anxious to re turn, yet have not, nor cannot get, the werewith to leave—to such an extent that metrt women and children, by thou sands, would sacrifice anything almost to leave the-valley. Hundreds upon hun dreds of females would lay down life to escape the horrors of mormonism, as ex emplified in the aalley. The mormon ar my, now numbering about 300,000 sol diers, drill often, and Utah is in an ex cellent condition to stand along and hard fight, if need be. The American flag is not recognized as their flag,—it is inde pendent in device and style. Oae of the party who ha 9 been merchandizing in Salt Lake for some time, informs us that the people of the States cannot imagine half the evil, misery, &c., which exist among the Mormons. And yet Utah is a territory of the Uni ted States-—with a Governor and Judges appointed by the President—-that Govern or, of considerable period, being Brigham Young, with a harem of over thirty wives I But, say the party leaders, you must not offend the Mormons—remember there are quite a number of them, and they have votes. We think it will be apparent some day, that there are other# in the Union who have votes, too.— Saturday Evening Post. Famine in Mabawaska, Maine. — A letter from the Rev. Mr. Kelfp, a borne roiesiooary in Madawaska, write# to the E. | Portland Mirror, under, date of June 24, that the people in that portion of Maine have been for some months in a state of starvation. He states that probably, five 1 hundred families, with au eight children each, have bread from one eight ie this Spring. Thev greens, a tew fish and they have eaten cases of starvation are said to be fore the Spring opened. Fish and game ol all kind are scarce around the oltjer set tlements, and many of the men 100 much famished and disheartened io take to the woods and lakes. The greatest relief looged for was the raspberry har vest, and about the first of July ratpber ries and blackberries were inexhaudible. RECEIPTS to Aug. Ist.—C. N. lirts fidd. by I.
