Barnuxn and the Jerome Clock
Companyl '

Mr. S. B. Jerome, writes from Lon-
don, April 4th, an account of the connec-
tion of the Jerome Clock Company with
Mr. Btiriiurii. He states that in June
last, Barnum proposed a uiiiou of the
Jerome Clock Company with the Terry
and Barnum Clock Company, stating
the value of the property of the latter,
and the amount of its indebtediiess.—-
Mr. Barnum was already indorser and
guaranty for the Terry and Barnum
Company to the amount of $100000
andover, which he volunteered to con-
tinue for the benefit and in favor of the
Jerome Company ; also to increase the
amount to $150.000 without security.-
The union was formed ; the Jerome
Company to take the property and ‘as-
sume the indebtedness of the Terry and
Barnum Company. The only inquiry
made by Mr. Barnum during the nego-
tiation, in regard to the affairs of the
Jerome Company, was whether the
stock of the company had ever been
sold at less than its par value. He was
answered that it had not, which it is
said was the truth. '

The Jerome Company secured the
endorsements for the $150,000, but soon
after ascertained that the indebtness of
the Terry and Barnum Company was
some $50000 larger than the amount
named by Mr. Barnum, who increased
his liability to cover this additional
amount. Owing to the dullness oftrade
further assistance was needed, and Mr.
Barnum being “willing to increase . his
endorsements to such extent as might
seem necessary, if a reasonable amount
of security could be given him,” he was
secured to the extent of $125000, with
which he was satisfied. By the first of
December, the amount of endorsements

Iiection, he says, has been most unfortu-
nate for all parties. Mr. Baruum’s name
did not add to the credit of the Jerome,
Company, while the-union of the com-
panies largely increased its indebtedness
Mr. Jerome concludes by denying that
the company has ever defrauded any
men or man out of a single dollar.

To this statement Mr. Barnum replies
that according to Jerome’s figures the
company owes $575000, on which he
has his name for $464,000 and he would
like to have Mr. J. explain how this re-
sult has been accomplished on any other
hypothesis than that the Jerome Com-
pany has been fearfully bankrupt for
years, instead of having been worth,
only six months ago, $181000 above all
indebtedness, as he confesses he repre-
sented to Mr. Barnum.

$111? The following is the concluding
paragraph of the lecture of Theodore
Parker, at the Broadway Tabernacle,
New York, on the evening of March
6th :—- .

But if Slavery is to triumph, let us go
back to Lexington, and amend the first
battlefields of the revolution, and break
to pieces the little monuments built there
and grind them to powder; go to Bun-
ker Hill, and blast and tumble over the
great monument erected there. Let it
not be the British gun powder—it would
Iiot take fire in so unholy a cause; not
with French gun powder that is fitly
employed in blasting to pieces the bul-
warks of despotism at- Sebastopol ; but
let it be with Russian gun powder, for
that alone is of such Tartarian character
as to do the work. Then let the pres-
ent administration go down to Plymouth
and dig up their forefathers’ rock, which
so much abliors the despots’ racefi, break
it into pieces--ay, grind it into powder
but not cast it on the waters, for some
St Christopher may carry it to land
where its influence may be felt: but let
Mr. Caleb Cushing carry it to Rome,
and in ruutable solemiiity, in the pres
ence of the Head of the American party
there, give it to the Pope.. Let him then

Arrival of the Arabic,-

Later from Europe.
HALIFAX, April 23.

The Arabia from Liverpool arrived
here at seven, this morning.

The two British steamers, Tartarus
and the Desperate, sent in search of the
Pacific, put into Galway. The search
was principally directed to the space be-‘
tween 55 North and 10 West. The
steamers searched separately. The Tar-
tarus went as far West as 25 West Lon-
gitude, on the parallel of 55. Guns were
fired every two hours during the night.
and vigilant look out kept during the
day. The search was totally unsuccess-
ful. The Captain is confident the Pa-
cific cannot be South of 54 Latitude, else
she must have been fallen in with. The
Tartarus has again put to sea to contin-
ue her search.

CRIMEA AND THE EAST.
Constantinople dates are to March
31st. The Russian palace, -at present a
French hospital, is being cleared for a
return of the embassy.

The only news is the improved health
of the French both in the hospitals and
the Crimea.

It is now said that Austria, which has
hitherto shown reluctance to evacuate
the Princtpalities has yielded to the re-
moustrances of the Congress.

The Turkish Government expresses
an anxiety to be relieved of the presence
of the Allies, and says she is quite able
to maintain internal order and frontier
defence without foreign troops.

BRITAIN ‘ ’
The British order in Council raises
the blockade of all Russian ports and
permits the free resumption of commerce
in all articles. The grand naval review
by the Queen of all the ships that can
be collected, is postponed to the 22d or

'23d, by which time the treaty of peace

will be signed.
FRANCE.

Expeditions against Madagascar and
Kalebyes are decided. Permission will
be sought to send troops through Egypt
to the frontier, and the latter will serve as
a cause of the Emperor’s visit to Algeria
although he will not himself command
the army.

DENMARK.
‘Copenhagen advices state that the Eu-
glish cabinet have officially notified the
Danish Government of their refusal to
agree to the capitalization of the sound
dues, and the determination of Britain to
wait for other and more acceptable prop-
ositions. The question of settlement
makes no progress and will probably
stand over until the year’s end, till it is

take.
R U SSI A.

The naval armistice was officially
published in St. Petersburgh, April 7th.
After the ratification all the ships seized
will be released. Commercial relations
are reestablished between the belligerent
powers. .A third State loan of fifty mil-
lions roubles is talked of. The energies
of the Russian Government, it is said,is
now to be devoted to three objects—Al-
liance to France—-completion of great
railways-;-a manufacture of Russian feel-
ing on the Continent, especially in Ger-
many.

Later From Nicaragua.
NEW ORLEANS, April 22.

The steamer Charles Morgan has ar-
rived at this port with San Juan dates
to the 16th inst. The. defeat of Col.
Schlessinger is confirmed. Fifty men
were killed in the engagement. The
cause is attributed solely to the gross
neglect of Scblessinger, The remnant
of his party had arrived at Rivas. Schles-
singer had not taken a single usual pre-
caution against surprise. His conduct
was so cowardly in the field that Capt.
Thoope was obliged to face him with
pistols and threaten to blow his brains
out, nut it was all useless. His cowar-
dic ad created a panic and the men
could not be inspirited. ‘ The curses on
Gen. S. by returned force are loud and
deep. ~

Another battle had taken place at Ar-
acopaka, between 14 of Walker's men
under Capt. Baldwin, and 200 Costa
Ricans, in which the latter was defeated
with a loss of 30 killed. Baldwin lost
2 killed.

Mr. Fuller the solitary Nebraska mem-
ber of Congress from Maine, interrupted
his republican colleague, Mr. Washburu
in the House, recently, to ask him if the
principles he (Washburn) was advoca-
ting had not been passed upon and con-
demned by the people of Maine in the
late election. To which Mr. Washburn
made prompt answer: He said that all
the democratic speakers in Maine dis-
owned the Nebraska issue, and none

 

They harped, one and all. upon the
"liquor law,” and none more loudly than
Mr. Fuller- “And,” said Mr. W. ‘»‘l.'Ill-
less greatly inisreprehended, my col-
league never failed to deepen tqe pathos
of his speeches, by a description of his
own sufferings in being obliged to cross
the line into New Brunswick, whenever
he had occasion to wet his whistle.”-

tected sheep stealer.

Everything that facilitates the escape
of slaves has been pronounced, we be.

the case, we allege the freezing-over ol

tional. and we would call the attention

the river are sending their slaves into the
interior for sale or safe keeping. The
moral character ‘of Jack Frost, and the
tendency of his actions, need investiga-
tion. The lynchers of Brady should ex-
amine into this matter, as it is doing
more against the peculiar institution
than he everdid. Where is Sbawshaw-

Corrobomtion.—Wheu the practice

of inhalation for the treatment‘ of con-

sumption was first established here, by

Dr. Robert Hunter, of this city, and its
success and availability strongly advo-
cated in the,_leading journals, the asser-

tion was made by Dr. Hunter that "if
every case of consumption in this city

were placed under judicious treatment
by inhalation, within two years the mor-
tality would be diminished one-half.”

The opponents of the new principle of
local application of vapor for the cure of
disease of the lungs, appealed accord-

ingly to the bills of mortality, predict-
ing the mnst discouraging consequences
from the wide prevalence which the new
system had suddenly gained. After a
careful examination of facts in connec-
tiou with the system, we ventured to

give our voice, with others, in favor of
its fair trial. We are, accordingly, re-.
joiced to see the repeated assurances of
every good result to the afflicted, from
what appears to be the broadest basis
of judging in the premises, of the re-
sults. Dr. Hunter, in answering the
appeal to the bills of mortality, regular-
ly published in his journal, the Medical

Specialist, points out a further decrease
'n the deaths from consumption in New

York, reaching now to the extent of
thirty'.oue per cent. decrease for a com-
parison of the three months just past,
with the corresponding quarters of the
previous years. For the. three months
ending March, 1854, the number of
deaths from this disease are given as 843
—for March,
766, and for March 1856, the Iiumber is
580, _a decrease of two hundred and six-
ty three, or more than one-third.

A Telegraph Project.—Mi'. Elihu
Burritt writes to The New York Herald
from New Britan (Conn..) in relation to
his projent for a line of electric telegraph
between San Francisco and St. Peters-
burg, crossing Behriug’s Straits. It is
said the Russia has already six thousand
miles in operation. Some df her lines
doubtless, are reaching eastwards to-_
wards the Ural mountains. At the
coucluson of the war, she will be sure
to extend them eastward still into her
Asiatic provinces, She will have the
best skill that American genius can sup-
ply to assist her in these enterprises, and
she will undoubtedly be ready to meet
the United States half the way and per-
haps more than half the way in connect-
ing New York and St. Petersburg.

mg. We received last week a copy of the
Ashtabula (Ohio) Telegraph, edited and pub-
lished by our predecessor and instructor in
things professional, Janus Ri:-ii-In, Esq. We
are not fully acquainted with the mutation of
his business career which has returned our
friend to his former laborious and exacting
profession, but glad we are that the Ohio
press are to have the aid,of his vigorous pen
and discriminating scissors, and we deem the
citizens of Ashtabula peculiarly fortunate in
the accession to their numbers of a man poa-

sessing so much latent strength of character,

and enterprising spirit in matters of‘ local re-
form and interest. His» inaugural gives out
the ring of the true metal, and whatever be
his ultimate success in his new enterprise, his
Eastern friends will pronounce in advance
that he will deserve it. Our friend is no
drone or dreamer. but an afitive, energetic,
practical man, just such a man as the . exi-
gencies of the present times require and de-
mand. May success and prosperity follow his
labor.

 

“ SOME Siuxns.”—It was Mr. Harnon Gil-
bert, of Wilton who slaughtered the twenty-
cight black makes, all measuring over four
fect in length I They were out sunning
themselves in a field in the north part of the
town when killed. Their continuous lengths
stretched upon the ground was about eight
rods !. .This we are assured is a true snake
story, and shades of St. Patrick what a field
that must be if there are any “more left of
the same sort.”

 

New Stores

Messrs. E. A. Blank & Co., have opened
their new furnishing store in Phaauix Block,
and a most beautiful establishment they have
got. The store is probably the largest and
best fitted up'of any in town, and their stock
of goods wilkcompare favorably with any
similar store in the State, The proprietor:
are gentlemen possessing business capacity
and energy, and their new store will no
doubt soon become a popular place of resort.

us of a very great improvement Mr. Smith
has made in his new Hall, in the removal of
the old fogy desk, and the substitution of a
neat raised platform instead. There are few

boast-of so fine a Hall, thanks to the enter-
prise of Mr. Asa E. Smith.

Mr. G B. Mallory who some months since
succeeded Mr. Austen in the above establish-
ment, has disposed of his interest therein to
Messrs. Jackson at Quiutard, who intend to
continue the business hereafter. Mr. Mallory
during his short sojourn among us, has given
evidence of being an unusually accomplished
artist, and goes, we believe, to Root’: cele-
brat ed Photographic Gallery in Philadelphia.
Success to him in his new and enlarged sphere

Murder Trials.

The trial of‘ the Wakemanites at New Ha-
ven, came to a-close last Thursday. Drs.
Hooker and Knight, and Dr. Jerome Smith of
the Maine Insane Asylum, were called to tea-
tify. The latter considered Sly (the murder-
éi-,) an imbecile or mouomaniac. Mrs’."Wa|ie
mah and Miss Hersey, be regarded as insane.
The other physicians expressed ‘rear-ly the
same opinion. They regarded Sly as acting
under such a delusion as to obliterate all
distinction between right and wrong. _

The jury’: verdict was “JV'ot Guilty by
reason of Insanity.” Under this verdict,
the three prisoners will be sent to the Insane
Retreat or kept in confinement.

Charles Sanford, the Woodbrldge murderer,
will not be tried at all. He is so decidedly
insane that no such proceeding is necessary.
He will also be taken to the Retreat. ' ‘ '

C'orrespomiencc of the Gazette.
Ma. EDITOR :—-Will you give place
in your coluiniis to a few brief remarks,
suggested by listening to the following
criticism ; "llis lecture‘-_was instructive,

0, but he is so egotis-

amusiug, interesting
tical.” _

This is a funny world—oiie lecturer
gets up and he" tells you something,
which in substance, you have read in
some book, and forsooth you Ghafge
him with having read the same. and
hence he is a plagiarist. Another comes
along. He has been a close student all
his days, what he has learned he has
made his own by habits of close appli-
cation and thought. He has travelled

too, gaining much knowledge and expe-

' rience by actual contact with the world-

Knowing what he knowrfor himself,
he does not hesitate to preface his re-
marks with an independent I-10 and
behold ! he is not much after all-—“so
egotistical”-—-I—“Consisteucy thou art
a jewel.” ‘
For my part, I confess to a growing
respect for that stigmatized class in the
community, who thinking their own
thoughts,‘dare express them, hearing all
responsibility by uuhesitatingly saying
"I think so.” They are not so numer-
ous ae one might at first suppose. In
fact the genuine egotist, one who is so
from. principle, is quite select. His
motto is "know thyself." Frank, open-
hearted, with no cherished ill in his
beart,_he freely communicates to others
what has caused him so much self-study
to gain. In society, wishing to show
himself friendly, and contribute to the
enjoyment of others, at the same time
unwilling to avail himself of What is
not his own, he talks of _himsc(/'-gives
out his own thoughts and feelings—not
because he over-estimates their value.
No, indeed a respectable egotist, such as
Mr. R———- and Dr. B , are not
vain! They hold themselves at their
proper value, and there I contend one
has a right to stand without being called
"egotietical” in the common accepta-
tiou of the term. A person who talks
much of self is a very safe friend, asafe
friend, a safe member of society. He
cannot long remain a "vitalized enig-
ma." Tlio wily, sagacious man of the
world is aware of this fact. Hence you
will never hear much about I from him.
There is a class in society exactly the
extreme opposite of all that can be said
of the "egotist,” and having a decided
preference for the latter, I shall not hes-
itate to be found among their ranks.
EGOTIST.

Darlen Lyceum Banquet.

After profitable and interesting dis-
cussions during the winter, the Darieu
Lyceum at a late meeting determined to
close their meetings for the season by a
grand finale festival. The design was
entered upon with great interest, both
by lady and gentleman members‘ of the
society. One of the number, Mr. G.
S. Bell, (let his name ever be honored.)
generously furnishing several bushels of
oysters. It was agreed that such a ta-
ble should be spread as would convince
all that the "good time” so long expec-
ted had come at last. A limited num-
ber of tickets were issued, guests invi-
ted, and on Friday evening last, the

,members of the Lyceum, with their

friends and guests sat around the well
filled table and were invited by Presi-
ident to commencega discussion of a
more satisfactory nature than was their
usual custom. After the more solid
dainties were discussed, the toasting
commenced. The toasts, twelve in
number, were all good. The first" The
present occasion, may it be as prosperous
as Clay ever anticipated, as far as re-
gards internal improvements,” was res-
pouded to by the President: Mr. Lake
A. Lockwood, a guest from Greenwich,
responded to "Our Guests,” in a very
witty and appropriate address. The
toast to "Our Governor" was responded
to, and the name of Wm. T. Minor hon-
ored by D. M. Mead, Esq., a guest from
Greenwich. But it will take up too
much time to mention all, and I will
mention but one more—-"The Press, the
great lover of liberty. May it ever be
itsaim to" express the truth, to re-prese
the wrong, to iin.pres.'r the right. May
it never, be sup-press-ed by op-press-ion,
nor de-press-ed by the press -are of the
times.” Responded to by Mr. T. A.
I-lotchkinson. After the regular toasts
were drank, th e volunteers came on, and
the whole table was then shaken with
roars of laughter at the puns and re-
puns on every pun-able name present

The Meade, Fairchilds, Clocks, Bells,

Weeds, Seymours, Morehouses, and in-
deed almost every one present were

toasted. Mr. ‘Lockwood proposed "Ma-

ry, may she double the r before the year
in out.” Immediately on its being drunk
Mr. Husted proposed "Katy, may she do
as Katy-did." Mr. Phcebus being toas-
ted, favored them with several songs.
And so the festivities were prolonged
till a late hour, when the company dis-
persed to the tune of "we won’t go
home till morning." Often again may
they meet as pleasantly. Rnroarea.

our New York correspondence.
New YORK, April 25, 1856.

Peace reigns in the Orient: W" the
occident is decidedly P“g"a‘5'°"‘9- T°l
say nothing of the fillibusieroes, ‘nor of
Yankee Sullivan Falstaffiu-g_ it with the
Prince Hal of the Sandwich Islands.
the "fancy” are promiuentlll b°f°"° ‘he
public in New York. The former ac-
tors in the Poole tragedy have been
again brought on the Metropolitan
boards, and two ofthem, at least, with
a benefit. Policeman Linn, who aided
Baker in his escape, has been reinstated
and received a thousand dollars reward
for his valuable services. Our reform
Mayor seems to have adopted the prin-
ciple of encouraging the prevention of.
arrests. Probably it ‘is due to this ec-
centricity of the Mayor, that the New
York Police have become famous for not
arresting thieves and murderers. Again
James Irving, also indicted for aiding in
killing Poole, has just been appointed
Superintendent of Buildings. A very
nice benefit for this trajedian. Baker
himself, is going through the farce Of 3
trial, finally to be'acquitted, and then to
be pensioned off with some nice sine-
cure. Councilman Kerrigan, '(number
four of the same caste,) playfully put a
bullet into a man's abdomen on Tues-
day last. Nobody complained of him,
and he was discharged. The Mayor
will no doubt find some place suitable
to the Councilman’s talents. General
Walker failed to discover ' them, and
therefore this neglected son of genius,
returned fgom Nicaragua last week, in.
disgust. But “blood will tell,” and
therefore this scion of the ancient, family
of the Kerrigaus is "bound-to be a butch-
er, by heavens, or die!”

With all this explosive material, thus
honored and rewarded, we are likely to
have a lively time, when the blaze of
the Presidential canvass is brought to
its full heat. Bone, sinew, and pluck
are going up to a high figure. Brains
are at a discouiit. They are not practi
cal nor creative. “On the contrary,
quite the reverse.” Vide the late cele-
bratod New York Legislature; the tal-
ented young men, the poets and orators,
which New York City sent as her rep-
resentatives. These Samsons of munic-
ipal iutellect rivalled their great proto-
type in his destructiveness, and excelled
him in the skill with which they han-
dled his primitive weapon. Upon the
whole, probably it is less hazardous to
peusiongknuckles, than to perpetuate
jaw. Some of the genuine New York
article is to be retailed to the Richmond
folks next month by our Mayor, in the
way of a lecture before the Mount Ver-
non Associatiou, upon “the character of
Alexander Hamilton." The Richmond
people were moved to institute this vice
bend of Mayor Wood to Everett, from
the fact that said Wood once sold to-
bacco in that city. . "Great oaks from
little acorns grow."

The body of young Pierce, who mys-
teriously disappeared last February has
been found, thrown‘ up from ’ the ocean,
on Rockaway Beach. It is supposed
that_,he was not murdered, The manner
of his getting into the water is still the
mystery, however. Authentic records
show that during the past year no fewer
than twenty persons have thus disap-
peared in this city and Brooklyn. The
bodies of seven of them have been re-
covered. All in silent as to the dread
fate of the rest. Is there anything more
startling than these facts, in the records
of violence and death of the cities of
the old world '.' Well may New York
tremble at the dark shadows which
threaten human life within her borders.
The great civic army which is paid to
guard life and property is absolutely
worse than useless. Loss and danger
have struck their fatal alarum at so
many doors that our citizens have been
awakened from their sleep of fancied
security, and men are forced to enter-
tain thoughts which they dare not whis-
per to each other. And it is not the cit-
-izen alone who is to pause and look

well to the pathway of his daily steps,
but the stranger is also interested in de-
manding that our streets and dwellings
should be somewhat more free from out-
rage than a Camanche war-path or an
encampment of Bedouins.

To day the city is alive with excite-
merits of mingled grief and congratula-
tion. The corporation flags flaunt joy-
fully in the spring breeze, from the City
Hall. . The masses are welcoming J as.
Buchanan home to his native land.-
There are other standards drooping at
half mast. Down our great Avenue a
thousand men are following a gallant
soldier to the grave. The one upward
to, possibly, a great feature, the other
downward to his rest.

_ General Tom Thumb is now here ex-
hibiting on his own book, and kissing
the new generation which has risen to
womanhood since Barnum first trotted
him out. Barnum is also around look-
ing seedy but hopeful. The adverse
cu rreut which stranded the great show-
man.is on the turn, and is now floating
him out to a summer sea. ‘ Barnum is
bound to shine yet. ,

and guidance of those who are sulerlug from affection;
of the Throat and Lungs, he has established a Family

Pulmonary diseases. _

Dr. Hunter would also announce that he has opened
branch estitbli-iliments for the treatment of these discs-
ses, at Philit-lelpliiii, Baltimore and Washington.

of skillful and accomplished resident Pb, sicinil, who
ha“ °n.l"Y¢‘di i" Europe and in association with him in

°f Pulmonary diseases. Patients resident in those
cities, will, therefore, in future enjoy all the advantages
of Dr. Hu.vri=.iz’s advice and treatment under the most
favorable auspices. _

These arrangements are rendered necessary by the
growth of the practice, and the empiricisms practiced
under the name of Inhalation, both by wandering quack:
who, in many instances, use Dr. HUNTER’: nun. for
their own purposes, and by the sale of inhaling mamas
at the Drug Stores throughout the country. Such luau.
ences tend to bring discredit on Inhalation, and to dig.
courage persons from availing themselves of thin, the
only scientific and successful mode of treating diseases
of the Respiratory Organs. ,

In chronic affections of the Throat and Lang: there
is no ditficulty attending the treatment of canes by car.
respondence ; and for the convenience of those wishing
to avail themselves of his treatment, Dr. Hmmra has
