      France. The President Continues To Hold ...

      FRANCE . The President continues to hold reviews acd treat . the soldiers with champagne and sausages . General Changarnier shows his displeasure by leaving the moment the review is over , and the distribution _, of these sorry ferib to the army commences . _^ , The correspondent ofthe ' Morning Chronicle

      says : — .. . « If it were not for the seriousness of tbe subject , and the incalculable evils it may bring on France and the world , one could be tempted to laugh at _thetrinnlationof the Paris papers , and « P »«»« J ofthe Conservative papers , at the _^ _modejn whmh the Government is _enforcing the new law relative _Jthe _^ s As long as the _Government _mereb _, attacked the Red Republican _journals nota wo d of Saint was to be heard on the part of what are _Sled « the great journals . 1 he _^ ' « nment _m-ght crush the Peuple' as much as it liked , by heaping fine upon fine , and prosecution upon prosecution ; it «

      mieht prevent t t , e sale of theEvenement , ' in tbe Streets and imprison those who ventured to do so in shops ; it mig ht throw Socialist proprietors and editors into prison , and withdraw their brevets from printers who gave the use of their presses to Republican publications . All these and similar acts of illegality and oppression were passed over without a syllable of disapprobation or remonstrance on the partof 'the organs of the party . of order . ' They felt strong in their own position , and all warnings were thrown away oa them . It was in vain that they were told tbat their torn was coming , and that the day was not far distant when the ' Debats' and ' Assemblee Nationale' would share ibe fate of the

      ' Evenement . ' They not only would not bslteve it , but hypocritically preached lo tbeir unfortunate contemporaries tbe propriety of resignation under evils wbich they had brought _u- _* on themselves . The tables are now turned . The new law respecting the signatures of all articles of religious , political , or moral discussion , is enforced with a stringency which they did not expect , and which is not only absurd , but very inconvenient . Even the ' Debate , ' which

      is usually so temperate in its attacks on the acts of the Government , has lost its temper . In aa article signed by its great chief , M . Armand Berlin , it says that , from the severity extended by the Government to the press , it would appear as if it was the determination of . the powers that be to make the new law not an instrument of justice , but one of paltry persecution ; and it concludes by exclaiming , * It it be true tbat the present _Government wishes to treat the press as a natural enemy , and to

      attack , _uot the abuses , out its very txister . ee , we ask that it should be stated openly , in order that we may preserve for our own _defence the little force that we " consecrate to the defence of others ! ' The Doctor Veron , in the' Constitutionnel , "" is equally angcy , and declares that the' Siecle , * which is prosecuted for no other offence but that of having published a letter which was anonymous , bat perfectly harmless , bas great cause to complain , and that the rigour of the legal authorities is quite incomprehensible . All these complaints and lamentations are now useless . The Conservative journals allowed the press to be despoiled of its rights ,

      under the vam hope that they themselves would not be touched . Tbey are now allowed to live by Buffrance , but by suffrance alone . Such is the power given to the Government by tbe recent laws , that it can put down the whole or anyone ofthe Paris papers whenever it may suit its purpose to do so . The liberty of tbe press exists no longer in France , excepting in appearance ; and the day is not far _distant wben even that show of liberty will be dispensed with . The Republican press has already been destroyed , and , the turn of the Legitimists and _Orleanists has now come . In a short time no paper will be tolerated in France that is not pure Bonapartist . '

      The ' Press publishes the commencement of a work by M . de Lamartine ,. entitled 'England in 1850 . ' II . de Lamartine begins by saying'Called , by circumstances of an entirely private character , to re-visit England , after an absence of twenty years , it was impossible for me not to be astonished at the immense progress made by England during that time , not only in population , in riches , in industry , in navigation ! in railroads , in extent , in "buildings , in embellishments , in the increase ofthe health of the capital , bnt still more in the charitable

      institutions for the people , and in associations oi real , religions , coaservative , and fraternal socialism between classes , to prevent explosions by the evaporation of the causes which produce them , to suppress murmurs from below by incalculable benefits from above , and to close the mouths of tbe people , not by the brutalities of the police , hut by the band of pnblic virtue . Far from being afflicted I felt humbled at the beautiful spectacle of so many works really popular , which give to England at the present moment an incontestible pre-eminence in this respect over os , and over the rest of Europe . '

      A change of Ministry is spoken of , but tbe rumour does not appear to rest upon any very sure foundation . On the afternoon of the 3 rd a special train arrived at tbe station of Angers , bringing eighty-five political prisoners from Doullens , under a strong escort . They were immediately conveyed in _omnibusea , under the surveillance of the gendarmerie and the police , to a steamer which was waiting for tbem at tbe port of Ligny , and which left for Painbceuf , where another steamer will take them to Belle-Isle . M . Proudhon has written to the responsible editor of the Peuple / to say that the police having taken umbrage at his work , announced under the name of ' Partaque _RtSvolutionnaire , ' the publication of it remains postponed for the present .

      A few days ago a dreadful accident occurred to Madame de Vaines , sister-in-law of M . Guizot , and only twenty-five years of age , at ber chateau of _Villelouet . From her clothes catching " fire she was so dreadfully burnt , that , after lingering in great agony for five days , she expired . _"" _vTEDXEsnAY Morning _To-dayjeight journals , prosecuted for contravention of tbelaw respecting the signature of articles , will appear before tbe tribunal of correctional police , the competence of which in such offences . is generally questioned , and disproved in an elaborate article of the' Gazette des _Tribunaox , hy M . Paillard de Villenenve .

      Among the journals cited before the correctional police is the ' Univers , ' in consequence of _theabsence of signature from its foreign correspondence . The conduct of the President , in treating the soldiers atthe reviews , formed the subject of discussion and inquiry at the weekly meeting of this Committee of Permanence . Several members observed that the army was , in the present political state of the country , the sole guarantee for the safety of society , tnd the only bulwark that could be relied on against the invasion of Socialism , and that to sap the discipline of the troops , was the most dangerous of all mischiefs . The cries uttered by some battalions at the reviews , in filing off before the President and ttp Minister of War , were not only unconstitutional ,

      "but all cries were forbidden on such occasions by the regulations of the service . The committee insisted on tbe strict observance of these regulations . General d'Hautpoul took the extraordinary course of denying that he had any _knowledge of the cries in question , which raised considerable noise and dissatisfaction . But he promised , for the future , to insist on the strict adherence to tbe regulations . In order to give the pledge of the Minister a trial , the sitting was adjonrned until the day after the next review . Tbis was _expscted to pass off quietly ; for it generally happens that when the manoeuvres of the Elysee receive a positive check of this sort , they are dropped for the nonce , to be resumed when tbe _vkilance of surveillance is relaxed .

      No reliance can be placed upon the declaration attributed by report to Gen . d'Hautpoul , that he -would positively decline to authorise an order of tbe day prohibiting cries of * Vive 1 'Empereur I' Tbe meeting-was attended more fully than usual , twen ' yfive members out of thirty-four being present .

      BELGIUM . The Queen of the Belgians is seriously ill . Tbe bulletins issued gave small hopes of her recovery .

      PRUSSIA . The Berlin papers of the 4 th inst ., announce that the ' Constitutionnelle Zeitung' has been suppressed by the Prussian government . Letters from the Polish frontier of the lst inst ., in the' Kolner Zeitung , ' state tbat ten Circassians , fully armed and equipped , have crossed the Prussian frontier , and demanded to be conducted to the King of Prussia . They were sent to Inowraclaw , where they again desired that an escort might be given to them at Berlin . Their demand having been refused , and wheb 4 hey saw tbat preparations were making to disarm them , they stood back to back and vowed that they would rather perish than allow themselves to be taken and sent back to Russia . A combat ensued , ia which tbey killed two Prussian Dm-

      HESSE CASSEL . At the date of our advices from Cassel , no actual application of the new powers vested in the commander-in-chief had taken place .. The Standing Committee had replied to the last ordinance and address of General Haynau , by the spirited protest subjoined . From a letter inserted below it would appear doubtful whether the commander ' s new digr nity had not affected his wits . The Permanent Committee has re-opened the indictment against the ministers , to include the offence of issuing the proclamation of September 28 ,, aad prays an oidev for their immediate suspension and imprisonment . On the 30 th , General Bauer requested his discharge as general of division , in addition to release from tbe chief command . The- old gentleman was so anxious on the subject _^ to forward the request by telegraph . _~

      A correspondent writes from Cassel on the 2 nd : — * Our situation is one of the strangest .- and most ludicrous , and at tbe same time most eventful and anxious tbat can well be imagined of . a people . The protection of tbe law aud courts of justice ; is withdrawn by the sovereign ; all are made responsible to an irresponsible soldier , and this ' soldier a fanciful , half-witted eld man , who imagines he has a commission from Heaven to chastise the Hessians . Haynau ' s own physician' does not consider him fit to be at large , and bas declared him a monomaniac . This morning he prepared to go _towdtk , and actually gave orders to have red hot shot in readiness , as if he were about to burn down an enemy ' s city , and yet , amidst all , the town is perfectly tranquil . ' The _sni-iism between the Government and rival

      Government , tbat is , the Permanent Committee , continues to widen in lieu of . offering a . prospect of settlement . The Government fulminates ordinances , and exhibits the utmost resolution to enforce exceptional measures , and the Permanent Committee retorts by counter ordinances aud by drawing up Dew acts of impeachment . Meantime , the complications that arise on every side in Germany are almost bewildering . The storm had scarcely broken ' out at Cassel , ere symptoms of disaffection exhibited themselves at , Darmstadt . This has scarcely been quelled ere another field , of strife presents itself at Stutgardt , where democracy is called into life by the meeting of a Chamber , in which the Cabinet finds itself in a minority of nearly ten to one .

      Matters move smoothly for the moment in Scbwerin , for a Prussian division occupies the frontier on all sides , and could sweep the land in almost a twinkling . Oct . 4 , —The Burgher-guard was dissolved this morning while on parade . All the journals are suspended . Great agitation reigns , hut order is not disturbed . M . Oettker , proprietor of the 'New Hessian Gazette , ' has been arrested , and taken to the castle .

      The Hall of the Assembly is occupied by troops . Tbe Members of the Permanent Committee present are shut in . M . Henkel is arrested . The Burgher-guard refuses to surrender its arms-Oct . 5 . —The Auditoriat-General has investigated the charge against Haynau , and ordered his trial by court-martial . Colonel Hildehrand has left for Wilhelmsbad , as a deputation from the constitutional officers . Haynau has given bis word to do nothing decisive till his return .

      A letter , dated Cassel , Oct . 4 th , says : — ' When the Burgher-guard was dissolved , it was ordered tb deposit its arms , by six o ' clock in the evening . It is now nine , but no arms have been , brought in , and the guard is unanimous in declaring tbat it will not yield but to force . To avoid a premature and unnecessary conflict with the troops . .. ot the line , the guard declines to occupy the post reserved for it by the municipal authorities . The offices of tbe New Hessian Gazette / tbe' Hornisse , ' and the' Frelons , are occupied bv troops . *

      We have advices from Cassel of the 6 th . The Auditoriat-General . on the application of the Standing Committee , have ordered the garrison court of Cassel to commence an investigation of . the charges alleged against General Haynau , commander-in-chief . The garrison court constituted itself for tbat purpose on the 5 tb . Haynau is now said to be taken ill . No further acts of violence have taken place . The burgher-guard has not surrendered a musket ; the Ober burgbermeister , Ac ., have not been molested in their functions . No further orders or announcements have been issued , by the military chief . The Supreme Court of Appeal has sent a deputation , consisting of three of the judges , to the Elector , to make strong representations on the illegality of his measures . Lieut-Colonel . Hillebrand has been

      deputed to the same duty by : the army , and even Haynau , it is said , bas sent Captain Linke to add force to their arguments . The people are calm and more confident than ever .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Attack upon Friedrichstadt . — The Schleswig-Holstein infantry made an assault upon Friedrichstadt on the night of the 4 th inst ., and were not successful . The assailants were compelled te withdraw . A second attempt to storm the city was to be made on the 5 th . A letter , dated Hamburg , Oct . 5 th says : — 'Until a quarter to five yesterday the Schleswig army before Friedrichstadt had made no further progress in reducing tbe place . The cannonade . was , kept up

      with great spirit throughout the day , and waa very effective on both sides . A general assault was spoken of , and Col . Von der Tann was said to favour the idea . It is stated that Freidriehstadt is open towards the east and north , and that the garrison receives reinforcements by these aides . It is further affirmed that the garrison is keeping up communications with the main array by the road wbich leads from Friedrichstadt to Tonningen and _Husotn , where the Danish troops are in force . If this be true , it is do wonder that Col . Von der Tann is unable to take the place .

      The combined Russian and Danish fleets wbich have for a long time remained in the waters of Kiel , have suddenly left the port . On the lst of October , eleven Russian men-of-war were counted in tbe port of Sonderburg io Schleswig . The King of Denmark and his uncle , Prince Ferdinand , arrived at Copen . bagen , on tbeir return from Schleswig , on the 2 nd . The King has since gone on board the Russian fleet . . Hamburg , Oct . 6 . —Tbe Schleswig-Holstein army attempted to take Friedrichstadt by storm , at four p . m ., on the 5 tb , but were repulsed by the Danes . The army of the Duchies is in position at Suderstapel . Its loss is considerable , particularly in officers .

      Our dates from the seat of war are to the morning of the 5 th inst . After bombarding part of the town during the whole of the preceding day , and after destroying tbe large block-house close to the rpafl , the town was in the evening attacked by two battalions of infantry and a detachment of riflemen . The principal church was burning at the time , and one end of the town was one complete mass of flame after a desperate struggle , in which both sides must have experienced very heavy losses , the Danes

      gave way a little , but only to seek the cover of new entrenchments and barricades thrown up in the middle of tbe town . The resistance which they met with here was so violent and determined , that , notwithstanding the most brilliant bravery , the _Schlcswig-Hohteiners were compelled to retire from the town at midnight . They took up a new position somewhat in advance of the old , and the conflict was to be renewed on the following _^ morning . The losses sustained by the _Scbleswig-Holsteiners are as yet unknown .

      Both sides behaved extremely well , according to the accounts .

      UNITED STATES . The Asia brings news up to the 25 th ult . On the 24 ih a bill passed the House of _Represen . _tatives authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to permit vessels from the British North American provmces to load and unload in ports of the United States , provided similar privileges be extended to vessels of the United States in those provinces . This is the first step to perfect reciprocity of trade between the two countries .. The bill authorising the payment of the indemnity money to Mexico was passed by the Senate in the form in which it came from the house .

Z [ Z _,- ' _-. m 7 7 ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ' '• _Letters ' from Pittsburgh of the 24 th * ult . represent great excitement as prevailing in tbat vicinity among the coloured population , in consequence of the passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill by Congress . A party of seventeen negroes , who had formerly been slaves , are said to bave started for Canada on the 21 st , armed to tbe teeth with pistols , bowie knives , & c , ; and small parties were leaving daily , _aiv The arrival of the Philadelphia from Chagres , via Kingston , with specie to the amount of 1 , 000 , 000 dollars , and of the Ohio , with . 500 , 000 dollars , put ; us in possession of advices from California to the 15 th of August .. ; The most important . feature of the news is the occurrence of a serious collision between '

      the 'Squatters , ' so called ,, and the ¦ Landholders , ' at Sacramento city , on account of certain conflicting claims to the title . of lands . A large portion of the ground on which the city of Sacramento is built ,. together with ' extensive tracts ; in the vicinity , were held by grants from Captain Sutter , holding his claims under . the New Helvetia Spanish grants . The settlers maintain tbat this grant did : not cover the territory in question , but . that it belonged to the governinent of the United States . On this plea they had moved on and erected buildings ; a suit for forcible entry and detainer was brought against them , and decided ia the plaintiff ' s favour ; a writ of restitution was issued ; the officer was resisted in ibis

      attempt to execute it ; ti an appeal to a higher court was presented ; this was set aside , arid a state of great exasperation was the consequence . A party of six or eight persons were arrested for resistingthe law , and two of them , in default of bail * were com- ; mitted to prison . An attempt was made to release them . This brought ori , a sanguinary conflict ; forty or fifty shots were fired between the combatants j the mayor of the city and the leader ofthe settlers were killed , and a number of persons wounded . The city waa declared under martial law and every-citizen required to bold himself in readiness for military duty . It was reported that Sacramento city bad been burned to tbe ground _. ' and that the ' Squatters' were _receiving reinforcements from the mines .

      The 'Pacific News' gives the following particulars : On board steamer Senator , Aug . 14 , , Half-past two o ' clock . ' A terrible excitement . pervades the city of Sacramento . The Senator delayed her departure for San Francisco to gather particulars . The issue is one between the squatters , or settlers , and the citizens holders of property under the Sutter titles —and a bloody issue it promises to be . Several persons are _already killed and wounded on both tiides . ¦ . * - .

      ' The history and result of the affair , thus far , is briefly this : —Large tracts of ground , covering the city , and vicinity-of Sacramento are held by grants from Captain Sutter , who . claims under his New Helvetia Spanish grant , " The settlers bold that Captain Sutter ' s grant does not cover tbis territory * that it belongs to the government . They have moved on and erected buildings . A suit for forcible entry and detainer is brought against them—decided in the plaintiffs' favour ~ a writ of restitution issued—the officer attempts to execute it—is met by a body of armed squatters , who resist him . This occurred on ; Saturday , tbe

      10 th . Prior to this date an appeal to the County Court had been made by the attorneys for the settlers , Judge Willis _prt-sidiug , and the right of appeal denied . Exasperation of course was the effect of the party seeking redress in the higher court . Meetings were held and resolutions were passed to resist tbe law . Nothing was done more by legal process from Saturday until yesterday ( Tuesday , ) when some six or eight persons were arrested for rebellion qr resisting the officers and the process of the court on Saturday , and two , in default of bail , incarcerated in the prison brig-One of them is _M'Clatchy , carrier of the * Sacramento Transcript . '

      1 To-day a body of settlers repaired to the brig to release their two companions , where they met Sheriff _M'Kinney , Major Bigelow , and a posse , wbo drove tbem froin the ground , but no force was used until the settlers had retreated-as far east from the river , up J street , as the corner of Fourth , near the Crescent City Hotel , when they were overtaken and turned at bay with pistols and cans ; . Forty or fifty shots were * fired between the

      parties and in the period of five minutes Mayor Bigelow was shot from his horse , through the _bedy , arm , and in the face ; not expected to live . The leader of the settlers , Mahloney , was-also _sV-ot dead . The horses of both leaders were pierced with balls . Assessor Woodland , an auctioneer , was also killed while supporting the officers . Mr-Harper , assistant P . M ., was shot in the left hand and right shoulder , and others of the same side are wounded ..

      1 Another man of the settlers was killed—shot through the body . A little girl was wounded while passing along J street ; tbe shots flew in all directions around the corner of J" and Fourth-streets , and the blood of the wounded streamed upon the side walks as they were carried along . One man , leading a mule along the street , was shot through the bead ; from the top the ball passed downward through the neck . 'The greatest excitement still pervaded the city , when the boat shoved off . From six to nine hundred settlers had assembled at the corner of J and . Ninth streets , resolved to . fire upon any who approached them . The city is declared under martial law , and every citizen is required to enrol his name at the City Hotel .

      ' In addition to the order for . citizens to enrol their names at the City Hotel , Lieutenant-Governor _M'Dougal also directed an order to be published that all non-combatants keep clear of the streets , and directed a cannon ,: supplied with twenty-four rounds to be placed at the foot of the street , and will , by the Gold Hunter _^ take up from Benicia , by Thursday morning , all * the implements of war , with which he is resolved to take the enemy , and bring them to a speedy and summary _triali ' Very Latest . —Sacramento City in Ashes . —Just as tbe steamer Carolina was getting under way ( about four p . m ., ) a despatch was received on board , from the ' Pacific News ' office , stating that an express had just arrived , bringing the intelligence that Sacramento city had been reduced to ashes , and the squatters were receiving reinforcements of men from the mines .

      The despatch referred to was received by Mr . _Norcross , assistant editor of the . Pacific News , ' who reached here last _" night in the Philadelphia . He considered it , we understand , entirely reliable . At the time the Carolina left , ; fifty United States soldiers had left Benicia for the scene of battle , and two volunteer companies in San Fran _, cisco bad also offered their services to maintain order . The accounts given of gold placers , vast lumps of gold worth from 2 , 000 dollars to 6 , 000 dollars each , are more florid and tempting than ever . At Carron ' s Creek lumps worth 19 , 000 dollars had been obtained by two men in two and a half days—one

      lump weighed eleven pounds , as smooth as glass , and absolutely , pure ! At Feather River Dam , seven men obtained 12 , 000 dollars in five days . This dam is worked by ten shareholders , and the shares are already worth 3 , 000 dollars and 4 , 000 dollars each J several dams are in process of formation , and the washings are expected to yield abundantly . Ten thousand men are engaged in the mines . Regulations are established among the miners , restricting new comers to the ground they select , and ruling tbat ail miners on leaving a digging must take new ground in a new region . But alas ! crime and murder prevail on the San Joachim . According to the 1 Alta California' of the 15 th of August , a most horrid outrage was perpetrated on the previous night , at

      Wood s Ferry , San Joachim river . The ferry was in the charge of two men of the names of Watts , an American , and Boyce , an Englishman . It appears , that they had hired six Mexicans to make ' adobes . ' On Sunday morning the tent was found deserted . Boyce ' _s bed was covered with blood , and the pillow besmeared with the brains of the murdered man . A watch and chain lying beneath the pillow was completely divided , from which circumstance it is supposed that the murder had been committed by a sharp hatchet , wbich had severed the skull of tbe deceased , pillow , and watch . The ground between the river and the tent was marked with traces of blood , and showed clearly that the bodies of the murdered men had been dragged to the water ' s edge , and then thrown into the stream .

      A call has been issued for a Working Man ' s State Convention in Boston on the 10 th of October , to consider what political action or other measures are required by the interests of labour . The number of Protective Union Stores and Co-operative Trades' Associations is constantl y on the increase in New England , and it can scarcel y be doubted that in the course of a few years they will pervade tbe whole country . They form an effectual mode of transition from the present industrial bondage , to

This gentleman ia ; 6 neof the eleven ! . persons who were outlawed by General Windisgraiz , in December , 1848 , when he -entered Hungary , atfthe head of the Austrian army . ... One writer says;— 7 , ' _. .- ' There . is ' no doulit but what Kossuth and . his

      brave compatriots ,-now in Turkey , will soon arrive in _Enjtlahd , and irom thence seek a home in the United States . . M . Lukacs , has made an application to the State department to know if . a vessel couid be placed at their disposal } to convey them from England here , at the public expense , as the English Government has offered to convey them from Turkey to England . I cannot say what answer has been given , but it is probable there are no funds at the disposal of the Government to , allow of the application being acceded , to . If this is the case , I trust the matter will be brought to the

      attention of Congress , and the necessary means voted . A rumour is afloat that another Cuban invasion is contemplated , and that the first descent will he made on Hayti for tbe purpose of everthrowing the Government of the black Emperor , _Faustin 1 . It is said that a long conference , in relation to the movement , has been held between Mr . Webster and the Spanish Minister , who was induced to return from _$ Jew York to Washington on this account . This rumour needs a confirmation , it being scarcely credible that within so short a time of the recent defeat of the Cuban adventurers , any further . demonstrations will be made in that quarter .

      Our city has been much excited for a day or two by a rumour that the children sent to a foundling asylum at Harlsera _, near New York , have been made away with by hundreds during the last year , and by a Quakeress who has charge of it . An investigation is going on , but up to this moment the rumour appears grossly exaggerated . It ii certain that eight or nine . babies have died and been buried - within a few days past , and that their graves were most indecently shallow ; . There has been some _equivocation on the part of this woman , which , makes the affair look rather black . Jenny Lind ' s concerts on Saturday and Tuesday nights were attended by nearly 9 , 000 persons , and the enthusiasm she has excited bas not in the least degree abated . There is a rush from the cities and tnwns in the interior to attend her concerts

      which is really surprising . As it is probable she will only sing in the largest cities , those who reside elsewhere have no alternative , if they desire to hear her , but to repair to the large cities . . Tlie very expense and trouble occasioned by this necessity give impulse to the public . Every family in easy circumstances throughout the country is sure to attend her concerts . It will be a kind of distinction to be able to say , ' _We-went to New York to hear Jenny Lind . ' Some sanguine people ' calculate ' that she will clear a million of dollars .

      fenny Lind and . her manager are said to bave had one misunderstanding . On the niuht of her first concert she determined to give away in charity the whole of . her receipts . Mr , Barnum informed her that her share would be 10 , 500 dols ., and told her tbat he would announce the gift from the stage . She requested him not to do so , but he did , and the effect was , as he probably anticipated , to make her popular in the highest degree .. Subsequently Mr . Baruutu , in overhauling his accounts , found , as he alleged , that she made but 7 , 000 dols . by that con : cert , and informed Jenny she must make up the deficiency in the - donation out of her own fuuds . The story is , that the lad y told him she intended to give the whole proceeds of that concert , that he informed her she had 10 , 500 dols to bestow , and that un the faith of that declaration she had

      committed herself . She is . reported » to have said that he must correct the mistake out of his own pocket , and Mr . Barnum did so without the least hesitation . If this be all true , it :, shows : ' tbat Jenny is not to be made a fool of by any one , and Barnum is reported to have said it was the first time he had been _outgeneraled by a woman . At the meeting of the New York Industrial Council on the V 7 th ot September , the following resolution was adopted , and the Corresponding Secretary ordered to communicate it to England : —

      'That a complimentary vote of thanks be tendered by the New York Industrial Council to the ' men in the employ of Messrs . Barclay and Perking and Co ., of London , forthe prompt and very striking recep . tion given by them to the great enemy of Social Freedom , General Haynau ; but more especially for the sympathy they evinced on the occasion for the great and glorious principles of Liberty and Humanity . Although the members of this Council are not particularly partial to physical demonstrations in the usual way , and highly deprecate vie _lations of the principles of Law and Order , they cannot but express tbeir regret at being absent from the scene Of the late festivities .

      The Dark Side Of Glasgow.—-There Must Be...

      The dark side of Glasgow . — -There must be an active manufactory of thieves at work somewhere in the lower regions of society . The police-offices , the gaols , and the hulks , aro constantly filled with thieves . Batch after batch aro brought up to the justiciary courts , sentenced , and despatched to the penal colonies with little ceremony or waste of time ; but these successive exportations seem to make no more impression on the residue of crime than water drawn from the wells on the perennial spring . The fountain of supply seems as inexhaustible in tho one case as in the other . No sooner have one troop of dingy , dog-faced , thievish reprobates been

      transferred from the dock to the convict ship than a hew troop of precisely tho same type start up in their place . The ory is Btill" they come , they como !" like the everlasting guards at Waterloo , or the myriads ofthe lost that flit through the shade of Inferno . ' Glasgow produces its periodical supply of candidates for the hulks , as certainly as its supply of calicoes , its custom-bouse revenue , or its births , its deaths , and its marriages . The crop of potatoes may fail , but the crop of thievos never . Thero is less fluctuation in the inorease of thefts than of any commodity probably with which society ia supplied , than even of population itself , and certainly than of any other class of crimes . —North British Mail ,
