Commodore Selleck is setting sail in his new,
copper fastened and fast sailing, &c., sloop for

A notice will be found in our advertizing
columns to such of our citizens who may have
plots of land which they desire numbered ofl'
info bullding lots, and so to appear upon the
new map. This will be an important feature,
and as the parties are taking their drawings
from actual surveys, and are masters of their
art. We presume there will be little cause
of complaint on account of inaccuracies, as
was the case with the former map. The

Mrs. Cunningham in the Tombs.
In spite of the efforts of able counsel,
no Judge has been found to release Mrs.
Cunningham from the clutches of the law.
The Recorder, who was the last applied
to, said that accused persons were admit-
ted to bail too often,.he would not inter-
fare.» The ofiicer then waited on Mrs.
Cunningham, and announced their inten-
tion of taking her to prison. Augusta
fainted, Helen bore up and resolved to
go with her mother. Mrs. C. was borne
out ona matrass, and laid in a carriage,
when she remained speechless and help-
less: A number of pitiless lookers-on
«lid not hesitate to deride the fallen wo-
man, in this hour of punishment, and one
very sagely remarked : “ There would’nt
be this fuss for a poor woman”! As
speedily as possible, Mrs. C. was removed
from observation and lodged in the Mat-

they extended to the Governor, the hos-
pitality of the city, they did not expect it
would be thus abused, and they think
that paying for the liquor will establish a
dangerous precedent. The amount of
liquor was certainly liberal for a single

rested for embezzlement. During seven,
years of confidential employ, he had taken

made adaily practice of rendering to his
employer the returns of the bar as much
less than they really were. One of the
detective police watched the sale of
drinks and cigars and noted the proceeds.
lc dressed extravagantly, kept a mis-
tress, and fast horses, and betted largely
on horse races. He supported all this on

suspect him for it long time. He was
brought up for » examination yesterday,
and bail was refused, though his friends
offered it to the extent of twenty thous-
and dollars. He was sent to jail.

time forgot ts tiist the tempting ber-
ries. The bushcs had occupied this field
for two years, and were well supplied
with side shoots several inches in length
all loaped with berries in every stage,
from the smallest green to the largest
ripe blackberry, and they were blackber-
ries ! Those wonderful berries produced
on the mountain or by the old stone wall
on the homestead farm which possessed
so fine a flavor in our youthful days, lost
all the deliciousness ascribed to them by
a lingerintr memory when we had taste
a f'cw of the fully ripe Lawtons. Shall
we say how many bushels of fine fruit are
taken from an acre ? I-Vc dare not..—-
Wc had with us severall .llOI‘lirCllIl'rlil‘lSt1S
who are ciiwagerl in supp yiuw .L cw '01‘:
with line frtiiits. They eouiftcd the ber-
ries on several bushes, measured them in
baskets, and they were so astonished at
the amount which it might be possible to
grow on an acre, that they dared not re-
peat it to the uninitiated in the wonders
of fruit growing. We had learned from
circulars that from four to eight quarts
were pronuced by single canes, and that
from 500 to 1,000 ripe berries were to be
counted on it cane of avciwrc size - we
found one cane having org.-r 1,900 !—

kcts filled with these berries sell f'or 15
cents, and the retailers get what they
choose to ask. J uclgiiw from the present
demand, we believe 3Il0 acres may be
planted to this blackberry, and the whole
results being sent to New York market,
they wouldcfail of being plentiful enough
to be within reach of all. In fact we do
not believe the market can well be over-
stocked.
Beside our host there are a number of
gentlemen engaged in the culture of this
wonderful berry. On the grounds of Mr.
Beard we saw the effects of the best cul-
ture for although large qnanties had
alreiidy been taken from the bushes, they
seemed to be laden with a precious bur_
den. At New. ROCI1ClIB_l'€SldBS Mr. Sca_

having first discovered and transplanted
the bushes ; Mr. Lawton, after whom
the fruit was named by the Farmers’
Club, Messrs. Car enter Roosevelt and

others, _also reside there, ‘and send limited
quantities of fruit to the city. Before
leaving Mr. Seymoi1r’s grounds we were
shown 100 hills of the famed “ TornIess”
blackberry, the same age with the'enor-
mous berries we had been looking at.——
The fruit were of less size than the coin-
on blackberry, and the bushes full of
thorns.
from others who have planted this varie-
ty, and having suffered ourselves to
the extent of three dollars for six plants
scratched our hands badly, and obtained
a few worthless berries_, we feel quite hap-
py in giving our experience to the public.
Having seen and tasted the largest black-
berries, and partakcn of the substantia.ls
furnished by Mr. Seymour, we bade adieu
and returned home, stopping on our way
to visit the Wastclicstci' Farm School re-

Nniv York, August 13th, 1857.
Gotham is laboring under a severe inflic-
tion of warm weather, which seems likely
in a short time, to drive the few .couragc-
ous individuals remaining in town to the
more pleasant associations of green fields
pure air, and rural eujoymcnts. Business
is generally brought to a stand-still, our
merchants and business men finding it
easier work to keep cool, than to plunge
into the labaryuths of the Ledger, and
cash Book, while clerks nothing loth to
follow their example, pass the hours usu-
ally devoted to business in a retired corn-
er of a comfortable bar room, or on the
avenue of an afternoon with a 2, 40 nag
and stylish cquipagc.
The “ Bogus Burdcll Baby” has cre-
ated an excitement wholly uupuralclled in
our city. The affair is daily discussed by
all classes, high and low, rich and poor,
and even by youthful specimens of young
America of both sexes, over a paper of
molasses candy, or other luxuries peculiar
to that portion of our community. The
proprietors of the Museum are exhibiting
the mother and child that preformed such
an iniportant part in the farce of “ My
little Adopted.” This will probably at-
tract a large number of our citizens to the
Museuin, and Messrs Greenwood and
Butler will in all probability reap a large
harvest from the pockets of visitors, who
are boiiud to see the Eelephant in all its
phasies. As to Mrs. Cunningham, Jus-
ticc Davison has refused to accept bail,
and she ha.s made the same request,
through her council to several other Judg-
es, and received the same answer. The
people have already adjudged her guilty,
and nothing is now wanting to promote
the ends of justice, but her conviction and
sentence. A large crowd is assembled
daily in front of no. 31 Bond St. gazing
with open mouth and distended eyes at
the room where the foul crime had been
committed. Helen and Augusta have
deserted their mother, at the very nio-
ment when she most needs their advice
and assistance.
Stephen H. Braifch, has seen an Alli-
gator. Helms lately discovered that
J udgc Clark, Hatter Genin, Fire Mar-

are all natives of British Isles, and made
the most supprising discovery that Col.
Fremont was born in Montreal Canada.
Branchis persevcring in his efforts to drive
out peijured aliens, as Georgy Matsel has
found to his own discomfort. Every-
thing that Stephen says, is taken as a
a matter of course, among us. He has
kept rather stilllately, but once in a while
he givcsa tremendous blow-out. He ad-
dresed a most eloquent appeal to our
citizens on the Fourth, urging them to
come forward and rescue the city from
the hands of its tyrants, butit left doubts
in the minds of our citizens, as to who
he was pitching into. His next victim
will probably be Mayor Wood, or some
one of our corrupt Aldermen.
The late decision in regard to the final
disposition of “ Gen. J ackson’s Snuff
Box” has created quite at furor among
our veterans, who have held a. meeting to
protest against it at which Garret Dyck-

tion presided. The meeting was address-

lots, each for one nationality. In each
lot is a plain square monument with the
name and flag of the nation to which it

grounds is a monument consisting of a
huge pedestal and pyramid of granite
surmounted by a globe of marble, weigh-
ing two tons, on which meridianal lines
are traced. A stranded ship and an an-
chor are cut on the columns.
The eighteen lots are appropriated to
strangers of the following nations: The
United States, England, France, Ireland,
Germany, Spain, Italy, Prussia, Russia,
Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Africa, Asia,
China, Hindoostan, Mexico and South
America.
The monument cost three thousand
dollars, and the whole price of the ceme-

about $10,000 were contributed by. the
merchants of New-York, and $5,000
were appropriated by Congress.

Ni-1w Yonv, August 15.
A collision occured on the Sound this
mo1'niug between ,Fanlkner Island and
New Haven, between steamer Metropolis
of the Fall River line, and Propeller J.
N. Harris, hence for New London. The
J. N. Harris sunk almost immedintely.—
She had no board 25 souls, passengers
and crew—of whom 13 went down with
her. Among the saved, are Capt, Smith
of the Harris, the engineer, and four of
the crew. The Metropolis lay by the
spot until daylight, in the hope of being
able to save others, but saw nothing.
The accident occurred in consequence
of the Metropolis mistaking the propeller
for a schooner, she having sails set, and
showing no head light. George Tappan,
of New Bcdford, a. passenger, died of
apoplexy on board the Metropolis, soon
after the accident. Among the passngers
lost, are the wife and child of A. L. Smith
of Brooklyn, three children of the captain
of the propeller, and a gentleman wife
and child, unknown.
Of the crew lost, are Stephen Prentice
of New London, ‘mate, George Allen,
deck hand, Mary VVitliers, cliambermaid
Ami Willis, cook. Passengers saved are
J olni P. Dunn, IV. H. Orr, Jas. Cahill,
Samuel N cwman, A. L. Smith Jas. Man-
uey, and John Ayres. Vessel and cargo
total loss. The steamer lay by the spot
where the accident occurred, steaming
slowly around till after daylight, throw-
ing out life prescrvers and sending boats
to cruise around, to render assistance, if
possible, to any one that might be found
floating upon spars or life-preservers from
the wreck.
The search was not relinquished until
all hopes of rendering further assistance
to any one was given up. The night was
clear, and a beautiful moonlight rested
upon the Sound revealing the struggles
of the lost and all the heart-rending scenes
attending such a catasthroplic, in most
appalling colors. ‘
After the first alarm of the accident
had somewhat subsided on board the
steamer, a meeting was orgeuized, and a
comittee appointed to collect funds to re-
lieve in some measure the most pressing
wants of the sufferers who were saved
from the wreck, and also for the relief of
the families of those who were lost.
The following gentlemen were then ap-
pointed as the C311]. :——LowcIl Mason jr.
of N. Y., Rev. Rfw. om-1:, of Brook-
lyn, W. P. Jones of Portsmouth, N. H.,
J. K. Frotliingham of Boston. These
gentlemen at once proceeded to the du-
ties imposed upon them by their fellow
passengers, and collected the sum of four
hundred and eighty-five dollars.

Livei'p_ool Post, in its issue of July 29th
says": " “ The arrival at this port, yester-
day, of the yacht Clem-tar Oak, from
New York, furnishes a striking proof of
what perseverance can accomplish, and
shows to us English the sort of stuff our
transatlantic cousins are made of. The
C'luw'tc-r Oak is a little vessel, 43 feet long
13 feet wide, 5 feet 3 inches deep, and
measures 23 tons. She was built and rig-
ged by her captain and owner, Mr,Webb,
(of Stamford.) in Conn. and by him and
one man brought safely across the stormy
Atlantic, in thirty seven days. She star-
ted with the captain and two men, but one
of them was unfortunately lost overboard
the first day. To most men, this would
have been enough to frighten them
off their perilous enterprise, but our two
undauntcd navigators (one of whom had
never been at sea before) were not to be
frightened. Without a chronometer, (for
no one would trust one in so frail a con-
veyance, and the captain was too poor to
buy onc,) without a chart of the coast
they were steering for, these two men
pursued their dangerous way, through
several storms, and reached Liverpool
in the time mentioned.”

Laying Pipe.
The following true suggestions on the
subject of laying water pipe come from
the Hartford Times. Are they not equal-
ly applicable to our gas pipes?
Our citizens have noticed tliatiu laying
water pipes from the street mains to
buildings, the walks have been taken up
and deep trenches dug across, m iking it
incouvenient for persons passing, and of-
ten leaving an uneven place in the walk.
As we we were passing the 1'csidence of
Mr. J. G. Egglcston, in North Main St.,
this morning, we noticed that he had
overcome these annoyances by a simple
process. Having occasion to introduce
the water pipes, be procured a three-inch
augiir, and attached to it an iron rod, 15
feet in length. VVitli this he bored di-
rcctly under tne walk, and though the
soil was of a light sand, the plan worked
successfully. He accomplished in a few
minutes time the work that would have
required four or five men at least half a
day under the old plan, and he has saved
the annoyance and expense of tearing up
a well laid walk, and disturbing an iron
fence. The city might save thousands of
dollars by adopting this plan ; indeed,
augnrs made especially for this purpose,
might be driven from the collar to the
street main with a very small proportion
of the cnpeiisc of digging deep trenches.

A QUEER CUS'l‘O.\lER.——.Al1 Irishman
who was fishing on the bank of a small
stream in Hebron, a few miles from this
village, came across a new kind of fish
for this region. He observed a large
body moving towards him in the water
from the opposite side of the stream, and
fearing it might be the “old’un,” his first
impulse was to drop his line and take to
his heels. Mustering up his C0lll':'|go',
however, and having a clear conscience,
be resolved to stand his ground anc “ see
what the bastc was like.” The “ basic”
soon scrambled up the bank, with a hos-
tile demonstration towards the fislicrnian
who received his advance with a lieavy
stoue, with which he had armed himself.
Nothing dauntcd, his antagonist continued
his advance, when Put drew a knife from
his pocket and went in for a fight. The
battled was soon decided, and Pat was
the victor. The “ baste” proved to be an
alligator, of some six or seven feet in
length. How it got there. is a diflicult
question to answer, but it is supposed to
have escaped from an exhibition which
passed through the ncigliborliood some
time since. '
