The Nineteenth Annual Fair and Cattle
Show of the Fairlield County Agricultu-
ral Society is to be the great event of
the week, and from the apparent interest
manifest by the citizens of this and the
adjoining towns, it will be, an Exhibition far
ahead of anything the Society has ever wit-
nessed before. In all the departments of the
Fair, with the exception of Garden Vegeta-
bles, the Exhibition will be large and exceed-
ingly fine, and our friends in the adjoining
towns may rely upon getting their moucyls
worth in their visit to Norwnlk this year.
The Programme of Arrangements will be
found in our advertising columns to day,froln
which it will be seen that the Tent will be
thrown open to the public this Tursduy
Evening. Rev. '1‘. S. Bradley will give the
opening address at 7t O’clock, after which the
evening will be “ used up” in seeing the
sights, listening to Short impromptu speeches,
Singing, the.
Wednesday—the day- is to be devoted to the
labors of the Auditing Committees, Examina-
tions of Articles in Tent, visits of Schools.
813., with the usual sprinkling of Speeches,
and a “ flood of music” from the WHEELER
d‘. WILSON BRASS BAND.”
Thursday, the morning will be occupied
outside, with the show of Cattle, Borses,l’igg,
Poultry, Sheep, Trains and Trials of Working
Cattle, &c. During theafternoon and even-
ing addresses will be given by Professors S
W. Johnson and John A. Porter of the Yale
Bureau of Agriculture, with Music by the
Band, &c.
On Friday, or the closing up day of the
Fair, the Plowing Match occupies the morn-
ing,after which the Annual Address is to be
given by the Society’s old friend and patron,
P. T. BARNUM, ESQ. Subject, “Money Ma-
king,” (as applied to agriculture of course,
With doubtless an appendix illustrated with
cuts on money losing, from the diary of the
author !) It is expected that the redoubtable
GEN. TOM THUMB will accompany Mr. Bar-
num, and will doubtless be hcanl from, as
' well as looked upon as one of the wonderful
animal productions of Fairfield County. The
_ readihgof Awards of Premiums at the Tent
closes the exercises of the Fair at that point,
I and a trial of speed on East Avenue completes
the Bill and ends the Fair.
Friday evening the young people have a
Grand Promenade Concert &c., as heretofore,
to which all well dressed and well behaved
bipeds are admitted at 50 cents per liead,with
a free ticket for as many ladies as they may
be able to escort.
' The various Committees have arranged each
department with great particularity, and we
have reason to believe that all will pass off
pleasantly and in good order.

. Barnum's Address.
The address to be given by Mr. Barnum will undoubt-
edly prove one of the greatest attractions of the week,
and will draw immensely. We understand it is the
same discourse as that delivered in England,with ‘vari-
ations’ of course to adapt it to the occasion.

Discovery of a Monster Oyster Bed.
The whole line of shore from Rocky Neck
to New Haven has been roused to the most
intense excitement over the accidental discov-
ery of a monster bed of more than monster
oysters.
The bed lies a little over the center of the
Sound in a line hearing from the Norwalk to
Eaton’s Neck light—and from a party who
has dredged over it, we learn that the bed is
certainly from one mile wide to about two
miles lon e. Other stories say tlnee miles
wide and ten long ! But, we have taken
much pains to get at the truth of the matter
and think the first statement entirely reliable.
The discovery was made week before last by
a party of five Darien fishermemwhose names
are Wm. Wood, James Warring, Thos. Garlin,
Wm. Hoyt, Alexander Stevens. These men
were out fishing, and chanced to drop a
dredge for an anchor over the bed, when on
taking it up it was filled with enormous bi.
valves—which led to further investigation,
and the result stated. One vessel, last week,
took up seven hundred, bushels in a single
day l The bed seems to‘be almost inexhaus-
tibleand must contain many millions of hush-
do. We were shown samples of the oysters
yesterday as large as an ordinary garden
spade, the meats from which looked more
like beaf tongues than the ordinary bivalves !
There were on Sunday, two Steamboats and
about one hundred and fifty sail vessels on the
ground dredging nearly all day—(mostly New
York people we are glad to hear). This
Monday—everything in the shape of a boat
and an oyster dredge has been brought into
rcquisition,and our blacksmiths are diligent-
ly at work making more implements to take
them with. There is no means of even appr‘ox—
imating at evaluation of this discovery.—
Probably five millions of dollars would fall
below the reality.
Nothing has ever equaled the excitement
herea'houts among the fishermen and marine
speculators, since the great Rings End oyster
war some thirty years ago, when the long
toms «Sac, were brought out and charged to the
muzzle to fire upon the New Haven maraud-
ers. This bed is in water from 6 to 8 fathoms
and there is to telling what the effect is to be
upon the oyster market or palates of cpicures.

Decisions in Superior Court.
At the term of the Superior Court just
closed, the case of Charles Cannon vs. the
Danhury 8; Normal]: Railroad Co. and oth-
ers, was argued upon a report of the Commit-
tee, and judgement rendered in favor of
the defendant. The Plaintiff filed a motion
in error to the Supreme Court which sits next
month,
The case of Sellleck 1". St. John vs. Sam'l.
Raymond, 2d, was decided in favor of the
plaintiff. The Court'held that a negotiable
note taken by a magistrate as payment of the
fine and costs on conviction of a misdemeanor
v as good and collectablc in the hands of the
Ii:«x;i>li':llc, and that its validity was not im-
puirul by the circumstances under which it,
was I'm-villwl. The Court further held that
it in inmuucrizil whether a note be endorsed
on itslinck or on the face of the instrument,
even though the endorser’s name be apparent_
signed as a maker, if an endorsement was in:
tended and that intent is proved, which the
Court found to be the fact in the present case.

From San Juan.
By the latest news from this island the new bone of
contention between this country and Great Britain,
there were .500 American Troops on the disputed ground
Earth works have been thrown up. and the harbor of
Victoria was commanded by the field pieces. The island
was in a complete state of defence. Gen. llaruey says
howill call for volunteers from the territories if he is at-
tacked. llnrney had written to Gov, Douglas(the Brit.
ish Governor) to the effect that he had occupied the is-
land to protect the Americans there from the insults of
the British authorities of Vancouver’s island haul the
Hudsons Bay Company’s officers. The British Admiral
refuses to obey the orders of Douglas to bring on a col-
lision, and also refuses to bring the North Pacific fleet
near the island. He says he will wait for orders from
the home government, and disclaims all hostile inten-
tions. The American and British officers were on friend-
ly terms.
Lieut. General Scott has been ordered to the
scene of disturbance to take command, by our govern-
ment, which shows the great faith they have in his
qualifications as a pacificafnr, and shows also the alarm
they feel about it. Great Britain has also sent the com-
nlauder in chief (the Duke of Caillbridge) other armies
to the some place. The English press are quite belli»
gel-cut ill speaking about the difficulty.
Gen. Scott sailed on Tuesday last, ill the Star of the .
West and on his arrival at San Francisco, if the mail
steamer for Oregon is not ready to depart, he is to have
a special steaincr'to take him to his destination. He is
supposed to be invested with unlimited power, if neces~
sury he is to detain the mail steamers. The old General
was escorted to the steamer by the Scott llillc Guard
and a. humorous concourse of citizens were on the
wharf to bid him good-bye. It is hoped that he will be
successful in his mission and adjust the difficulty “mi‘
cably.

ALiuosr AN Acornnxr.—As the Boston ex-
press train of Saturday, for New York, was
started from the Depot at Bridgeport, Conn.,
a child of Mrs. Martence, a little girl 8 years
of age ill attempting to pass from one car to
another was thrown down, and fell upon the
rail between the cars. The accident was
witnessed by Mr.William H.Clapp of Hiram,
Ohio, who was standing on the platform of the
car at the time, and who instantly, at the peril
of his life, sprang down between the ears, and
grasped the child with one hand, while with
the other he clung to a car, and ran with the
train until it could be stopped. The child was
uninjured, except the bruises received in fal-
ling, but would inevitably have been killed
except for the presence of mind and activity
of Mr. Clapp, Mr. C. was severely bruised
about his head.

for Governor. dgainst about 26,000 for Smith
(Democrat.) Merrill is re-elected, judging
from these returns, by about 10,000, a gain of
' one thousand from last year. The total vote
is 3,000 less than last year. The Republicans
have elected thirty of the thirty-one Senators
and have a majority of one-fourth of the mem-

fl It is said that many of the poorer set-
tlers of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
who are dissatisfied with their lands, are emi-
grating to the British possessions North of
them.cspecially to the fertile lands on the
Red River of the North. The climate on this
river and on the Saskatshawin is said to be
milder than that of Minnesota. They settle
here under the expectation that the charter
of the Hudson’s Bay 00.. which has expired,
will not be renewed, and that the country will
be open for enterprising settlers. The Bad
son’s Bay Company have always discouraged
settlers, because the settlement of the country
would soon limit their supplies offers. The
British rosscsions south of Lake Wimipec and
and on the rivers mentioned above is destined
to become a powerful colony. It is beautifully
adapted to grazing and enjoys a uniform cli-
mate. The Saskatchewan rises near the Rocky
Mountains and furnishes navigation to a large
tract of fertile, chleatered land. The mine-
ral wealth of that part of the continent has
not been explored. It is superior to our
prairie States in wood and water.

ONE Bunnnsn YEARS Aoo.-—-The year .1759
was the most memorable of any in the history
of England. In that year we look Crown
Point, Leuisburg and Cape Breton, Fort Fron-
tenac, Forts Du Qucsne, Niagara and Ticon-
deroga. and finally Quebec. which capitulated
Sept, 17, 1759. In Africa Senegal and the Is-
land of Goree fell into the hands of the Eng-
ilzh, and in the West Indies they took Gande-
loupe, Marigalaute, Granada and St. Martins.
In India, Clive was everywhere victorious
over- the French. At that time we formed a
portion of the British Empire. and shared in -
all the trials and the glories of that eventfu
period—Portland .Ildoerliser. . H, ,

That Irrepressible Conflict.
We do not consider it exactly fair to saddle upon the
great Republican party the responsibility of sentiments
uttered by Mr. Seward in his Rochester speech, when
he says : “ the conflict now going on between freedom
and slavery must continue until one or the other is
ubolishodg” although his utterances, taken in the conv
inaction in which they were spoken, may and doubtless
do, to many minds enunciute a great livingjlurf, the
Republican party must be judged by its acts, not by “'0
avowed opinions of any one man, although that man
may hold a prominent position u'llhin it. The Republi-
can party is not a party whose mission is the abolition
of slavery ; it is a. party which has been called into being
by the aigenjcs of the times to deft-ml the vital interests of
white mm, and to oppose successfully and put an end to
the damnaue misrule and wn‘uplion ofthe Democratic par-
ty. Therefore while it repudiates the idea of any inter.
fereuce with the institution of slavery in the states
where it exists ; it is bound at all times to do whatever
it can, subject to the constitution, to oppose its prog
rcss into free territory, and to stand by the interests of
ram; wum: max and Fill-II iuuon ; this lunch in regard to
the position of the Republican party upon the quest ion
of slavery. It is not our intention at. this time to en—
ter into any defence of this position of the Republican
puny upon the slavery question : We would venture
the "pinion, however, thitt it is the only correct posi-
tion, and if any should question it, we would sllnply re-
fer them to the writings ofJell‘ersoli and to the record-
ed opinions of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster outlet]:—
or great men of our country. Whatever mav he said of
the sentiments contained ill Mr. Seward’s Rochester
speech—and his enemies are trying to make qulte a
a handle of it -it is nevertheless a fact that freedom
and slavery are antagonistic in principle, and that in‘a
government like ours one or the other must eventually
predominate. We are forced to this conclusion by a
brief retrospect of the history of this government since
its formation, and did we not firmly believe in human
progress and that this government was destined to be
something else than the government of a great slave ol-
garchy. We should say, judging by the last two Demo-
cratic administrations, that slavery was fast triumph-
ing over freedom in America. We refer to the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, the Dred Scott decision,
the desperate attempts made to fasten the institution
ol'slavery upon Kansas and the clamor now being rais-
ed throughout the length and breadth of the South, for
a reopening of the slave trade and for a slave code for
the Territories. Whenever the interests of the “ insti-
tution” have demanded support,it§hns contrived to ob-
tain it under the auspices of what styles itself the De-
nwcracy, and we venture the prediction that whoever
shall be the nominee of the Charleston Convention that
he will be the most pliant tool of the slave oligarchy.
Among all shades of the opposition there is a strong -
desire for union and harmony, let us seek to cultivate
it ; let us see to it that nothing shall prevent such a
union of the opposition as shall elect its candidate and
establish a different policy in 1860. L.

AG,“ The bankers of St. Louis to guard their vaults
more effectually against burglars, leave the gas burn-
ing in full blast upon them and all the shutters down ;
the burglar cannot accordingly work without detection
from some stray passer-by or policeman. If the light
is extinguished, it is evldent that something is wrong
and searchfiwill be likely to follow suspicion.
This is a system which has been for a long time adop.
ted in all the Northern cities. The best stores in New
York, Boston or Philadelphia are now used without
blinds or shutters, and the gas light being kept on ma-

Fine Arts at the Fair.
A new and beautiful style of picture called the Ivory-
{ype will be exhibited by Mr. Whitney at the County
Fair, and it deserves more than a passing notice, being
the ultimatnill of the photographer‘s fondest hopes,con-
taiuing as it does the truthfulness of the photograph
with the softness and beauty of the finest ivory mina-
turc. These pictures are made only at two of the first
galleries ill New York, and command the highest pri-
ces. Mr. Whitney proposes to furnish them at lower
figures and of equal beauty. He will also exhibit life
size and cabinet photograps painted in oil re-touched
and plain photograjdls and ambrotypes, and the won-
derful stereoscope with a variety of pictures.
This new feature of interest will be added to our ex-
hibition, and five new styles of pictures never before
made in Nurwalk, will be shown. ,

DEATH or AN Aono Lama—It will be observed under
the head of Obltuary, that another of the aged residents
of Troy has passed away. Mrs. Rebecea \Vasson was
born in Norwalk, Conn., ell the 11th day of August,
1773, and consequently at the time of her death was in
the 87th year of her age. She became a widow about
the year 1812, by the supposed death of her husband,
Robert Wesson, Jr., who was with many others on
board of a privateer that sailed from New York. As
the vessel was never heard of, all on board were prob-
ably swallowed iii the Atlantic Ocean—a severe storm
having occurred soon after the privateer left port. Mrs.
Wassonvwith her only son came to Troy in the full of
1807, where she resided most of the time until the last
week in January of the present year. She then with
her son and his family removed to the village of Lans-
ingburgh, where just as the family had‘gut comfortably
settled inthcir new home, she was stricken down with
a paralysis of her right slde, which after several months
of helplessness has resulted in her death. Four weeks
proceeding her dissolution her abdomen was paralyzed-
Although she suffered much bodily,her mind was unim-
paired. She read her Bible daily and conversed freely
with her pastor and many friends who called to see her,
She has for years been well acquainted with the Holy
Scriptures and many valuable religious works. In her
childhood she committed to memory the whole of the
Assembly’s shorter catechism of one hundred and sev-
en questions and answers, and could ask and answer
the same without referring to the book, perfectly. She
was in Norwalk when that town was burnt by the sold-
iers of the British King, George, in the war of the Am.
eriean Revolution, and has related many anecdotes of
“ the times that tried the souls,” ofthe American wor-
Lhieg_ Her father, Deacon Nathaniel Raymond, of'Nor-
walk, had many times to be absent from his residence
at night, fearing that the so-called Tories would take
him prisoner in his own house, as had been done with
many of his neighbors. Ho dared not confide to his
family where be lodged. in order that they might tru th-
fully say they knew not where he was. Many things
that occurred in the war were well remembered by
Mrs. Wusson. She saw General Washington who din ed
in the house afterwards occupied by her. Mrs. Wasson
was a member of the Second street Presbyterian Church
at Troy, at the period of her death, and has been a con-
Stalli professor of religion for more than sixty years.

doors farther north than its present location. It is not
to be expected that the “ down town” people will qul-
etly submit to its rcmoualfarthcr “ up town," but what

or wishes of the people?
Getting Hold of the Wrong Customer.
One night last week as two respectable citizens were
quietly walking along a street at the south end of the
village, they were attacked by two .rowdies who with-
out any provocation struck each of them a severe blow.
Soon recovering from the surprise and .effect of the
blows, they attacked their assailants and gave them a
severe thrashing, the marks of which they will be like-
ly to carry with them for some months. They were
afterwards identified from sundry “ private marks,”
arrested, taken before a justice, filled and ordered to
pay the costs.
Argument in favor of a Telegraph.
A switch at the Ridgefield station being turned wrong
on Thursday night last caused the engine, tender and
baggage car of the passenger train toyuli off the track.
A hand car was sent to Dunblil‘y for assuzfance, on the
arrival of which all engine was “ fired up" and dispatch-
ed to their assistance. It was sometime piist midnight
before the passengers and mail arrived at Danbllry.--
Mlicll anxiety was exhibited among the crowd at the
depot, to find out the cause of the delay, during which
the need of a telegraph wire on the line of the road to
this place was sensibly felt and freely discussed.
Lock jaw.
The man named Denison, referred to by us last week,
died of Lock-jaw at Bedding Ridge on Friday night, in
consequence of the injury received by gelling his hand
caught in a threshing machine several days before.
It}? We did not think to send you the “ on dit” last

in his epistolatory efforts. *

still iiivolved in mystery We have taken much pains
to get the facts in the case, but there are so many
contradictory stories in relation to it that it appears
to be impossible to get information which can be relied
upon. Although there has been a court of Inquiry
held at which there did not appear to be any proof hilt
that it was an accidental occurrence, still there are
those who tliipk there has been some foul play in the
matter. It In said that he left home on the afternoon
of Monday, saying that he was going to collect some
money, and that he was brought back in an insensible
slate, at a. late hour that night, by person or persons
then unknown, who called his father up, and then left,
without even assisting to carry him into the house or
giving any explanations. One newspaper says that he
“ had beep to Bridgeport on an excursion and that he
had been robbed of $100, a watch and other valuables,
and that the two friends who brought him home have
disappeared.” Another story is, that there was no
sand in his hair or clothes, which is thought would
have been the case, had he fell ill the place where he
was said to have been found, and that the carriage
would have presented a different appearance had it run
of! the bank while in flint place, while some say that
there were no tracks of wagon wheels the next in orn-
ing down the bank, others as strongly ullirm that there
was. _
We do not know what explanation the persons who
helped him home have given or can give of their conduct,
but theJast story is that one-of them has disappeared,
and is not to be found. The young luau had not been
to Bridgeport, but thcfarthest from home he could be
traced was about two miles south of the Episcopal
Church in Reddingkidge. It was not shown that he
carried any considerable amount of money away with
him, or that he had collected any money that after.
noon, but one person said be borrowed a trifling sum
of him, and it is stated on good authority that he had
no watch with him when he left home. As there ap-
pears to be no good reason why he should be made
away with, and as the bank at the foot of which he is
said to have been found is one where a person would
be liable to drive off in the night, the most reasonable
construction we can put upon the matter, is that his
death resulted from some such casualty. The occur-
rence has created quite an excitement in Bedding and
is very afiiictive to his relatives, who are among the
most respectable inhabitants 'ofthat town.
The following we copy from the Danbury
Times :
The Case of Young Perry.
In view of the circumstances connected with
the injuries received by young Perry, result-
ing in his death, as we announced last week,
there is a settled conviction in the minds of
many that it was caused by violence. or foul
play. That these circumstances may be more
generally understood, we give below the de-
tails of‘ the case as furnished to us by Dr. E.
‘ P. Bennett.
Mr. Perry started to go to Redding Ridge
on Monday afternoon, for the purpose as he
said of collecting some money. About mid
night his father was awakened by the rapping
ofa man at his door, who told him that his
son' was wounded in his wagon. Mr. P.imnie-
diately got up,.dressed himself, and went out
when to his surprise he discovered his infor-
mant had left Finding his son in the condi-
tion described he 'was compelled to carry him
into the house alone. He was in a perfectly
inscnsible state his face badly bruised'and his
teeth injured. He had a deep cut on the left
side of his head from two to three inches long
reaching to the bone. His left side was com-
letely palsied showing a compression of the
brain corresponding to the injured side. Dr.
Loyd Secley was in attendance. Dr. Bennett
saw him on Tuesday, when, in consultation. it
was thought best to wait before proceeding to
operate. On the fourth day after the occur-
rence, Perry was trephined by Dr. Bennett
and Son, assisted by the attending physician,
Dr. Seeley. Nothing was at that tim.‘ound
beneath the skull except a little bloody met-
ter. He revived considerably after the opera-
tion, but never became sufficiently conscious
to give any account of. the manner in which
he was injured. He died on the nextTucsday
—-nine days after the injury. A post mortem
was then held by the above named physicians,
when a large clot of blood was found about an
inch from the hole made in the skull by
the operation. The .‘fLongifwliRnl Sinus,”
the largest vein in the brain, was ruptured. a
sufficient cause to produce death A Court of
Inquiry was held, but as no testimony could
be obtained but from the visitors of the house
nothing satisfactory was elicited. It was
claimed that he was upset in his carriage, and
was injured in that way ; but the cappearauce
of' the carriage would hardly justify this con-
clnsiou. The man who found him (Noah Lee)
says he fell in the sand. The carriage could
not have been drawn after he fell,ns the plate
on the caps of the hubs was not. scratched III
the least, and no sand was in his hair, _01' on
his clothes. The Carriage was much broken.
The testimony was unanimous that mealtimes-
cd was sober atlhe time of the injury. Abad ,
house is kept in the vicinity of' the scene of the.
tragedy. Adcep and impenetrable mystery
surrounds this sad affair.

FOREIGN NEWS.
SACKVILLE, N. B.. Wednesday Sept. 21, 1859.
The Royal Mail steamship Arabia, Capt.
Stone, left Liverpool at 9 o’clock on the
morning of the 10th inst., and arrived at Mill-
ifux about 60’clock in the afternoon of the
20th.
The/great event of the week had been the
departure of the Great Eastern for sea. The
Nova-Scotian brought out the news that the
vesselhad proceeded down the Thames as far
as Purfleet. on the morning of the Ni. and
anchored theref or the tide of the following
morning. llerdeparture from her mooringS,
accompanied by four powerful steam tugfi.
two at the bows and two at the stern. gave
rise to a scene of the greatest enthusiasm on
the Thames, which was continued at all the
prominent points. Capt. Harrison and the
most experienced Thames pilot directed the
ship’s motions. Mr. Scott Russell was on the
bridge,direceiug the action of the engines,
both of which, screw and paddle were under
steam. Capt. Comatock of the Collins steam-
er Baltic, stood alt to transmit directions to
the men at the wheel , the new steering appar-
atus not being 00mpletely fitted. The very
first turn in the river demonstrated that the
ship was as completely under centrol as a riv-
er steamer. and that the only difficulties to
contend with were the sharp curves in the
stream.She steers easy as a wager boat,an d hcr
engines were found capable of starting her
or arresting her motion literally almost by a
single motion ofthe hand. The only dilllcnl-
ty experienced was at Blackwell Point,“ here
the river forms an acute angle, and in the
centre of the channel at this point, a bark
and a schooner had unfortunately anchored.
There was an anxious and perilous delay of
fifteen minutes, but the danger "was passed
and there was no other serious cause for un.’
easiness. There' was not a single regular so“.
man on board during the river trip, the crew
not having joined.
There were perfect ovations at Greenwich.
Blackwell, Woolwich and other points, where
immense crowds had assembled. At Purfleet
the ship swung round to her single anchor in
beautiful style, and the amber, “ Trotman’s
Patent,” never yielded an inch from where it
was dropped.
On the 8th, the Great Eastern got up steam
and weighed anchor, and at 8:40 a. m. started
from Purfleet for the Nore. As on the pre-
eeeding day, she was accompanied by tugs,
and th e enthussiem along the river. particu-
larly at Gravesend,was very great. On arri-
ving at Chapman’s head, at the top of Sea
Reach,the tugs were cast off and the great
vessel was left to herself. Increased speed
was then got on her, simply to give her a. good
ctcerage way, and move her engines readily,
but with no view to test her power. In ten
the London Times, she set at rest all doubts
forever as to her being the fastest vessel be-
yond comparison in the world. Employing
less than two thirds of her power, in her worst
trim, being six inches down by the head,and
too high out of water to permit her paddles
or her screw blades to work properly, and
with a strong tide against her, she ran fifteen
statute miles in two minutes under an hour,
The engines worked with astonishing ea so,
and there was scarcely a vibration perceptible
Before anchoring, the vessel was put about
and went completely round in less than three
quarters of'a mile. At 12:30 the vessel an-
chored at the Nore. She was to leave the
Nore at 7 o’clock on the morning of the 9th,
and steam away easily for Portland, Dorcas-
fershire, which harbor she was expected to
reach early on the morning of the 10th.—
Much regret was felt that serious illness pre-
vented Mr. Brunei from being on board to
share in the triumph.
The London Morning Post has an editorial
on the report that Gen. Barney had taken
possession of the island of San J nan, or Belle-
view, in Puget Sound. It considers it possi-
ble that another boundary dispute may arise ;
says that the occupation of an island which is
still .mh indies, is the exercise of a 'power to
which the British government cannot tanlely
submit, and hopes that no concessions will be
made which are inconsistent with the dignity
of the country or the security of the gold re-
glons.
The race for the Warwick Cup was won by
the American horse Starke. There Were only
two other competitors.
By the arrival of the steamships North
American and City of Baltimore on the 25th,
we ,have five days later intelligence. The
most important news by' this arrival is from
China. The English and French Plenipoten-
tiaries having arrrived off the River Peiho.
below l’ekin. on the 17th of J une, found that
the fortifications had been rebuilt, and the
entrance to the river barred with booms and
stakes. On the 26th, no notice having been
taken by the Celestial Government of their
arrival, the Plenipotenti aries joined the Squad.
ron under Admiral Hope, and attempted to
forces. passage up the river to the capital,
when batteries. which had been masked, were
uncovered, and a deadly fire was opened upon
the squadron, which was returned with spirit :
but after asevere action the force retired,with
a loss of three gun-boats and 464 killed and
wounded. Among the killed were seven elli-
cers, and among the wounded seventeen—Ad-
miral llope among the latter. The French
force consisted of only sixty, of whom four-
teen were killed and wounded. This gross
violation of treaty stipulations will most like-
ly lead to another war. The Amercian Em~
bassador is said to have been quietly and
peacefully admitted at Pekin—a fact which
excites the ire of the London Times. A feed
pipe casing in the forward lunnelof the steam-
er Great Eastern had exploded, killing five
fireman dan gerously wounding a large number
and committing sad havoc with the grand
saloon and lower deck cabins. through which
the funnel passed. The numerous gests on
board the monster steamer had just risen from
dinner and left the saloon,elsh the accident
might have been vastly more disastrous. The
performances of the steamer previous to the
accident were entirely satisfactory, and it is
stated that the ship can be repaired for $25,
000, and that the accident will not cause much
if any, delay in her departure for Portland—-
It was rumored that the Governments of
France and England had agreed that a Cell-
gress on the Italian question had become noc-
essavy. The croccedings of the Zurich Con-
ference had ceased to gttraet public attention:

Serious Charge.
The following seriousstatemcpt in regard
to the transactions of the New York and New
Haven Company is made by the New York
Journal of Commerce. It is in regard to the
the attempts to separate the bogus stock is-
sued by 'Schuyler from the, genuine. The
Journal says:
“ We learned last week of new andimport-
gut in ripatiou which has come to light in
regal‘ - to this matter, but refrained from pub-
fishing it while the Judge had the matter be
fore him. We came ill possessinn of the in-
formation whilc in search of a protest which
wo understood had been made against the cli-
vision arbitrarily adopted by the board. This
development shows that the president of the
company had his attention called not only to
the erroneous ryslelll of division adoptedJlut,
also to positive errors in postingflacrc cleric-
al mistakes, but seriously affecting nearly
twenty different stock accounts, the fact of
which was suppressed, without any attempt

The golden images taken from the

are of some value as works of art. They are
at least of as high ordoras the Egyptian an-
tiquities, and Only it firmly established relig-
ion and state of society could have produced
them. But their chief interest lies in the un-
doubted connectlon they disclose with the.
oriental world. There is among them the
golden fish amulet, typical of generation in
all the Eastern countries, and adopted by
early Christiansto symbolize Christ, hence
the gildcd fishes placed as vanes upon church
spires. There are also images of the ancient
Cupid. from which 3.3.1 Inn. and haul Mo-
loch were derived, pot-bellied and used for a

figure, with one head on its tail, which occurs
in Chinese ornaments, and which is perfectly

ified by something like Chinese influence.
