RICH AND ANOMALOUS CORPOR ATION. The British East India Company, accor ding to recent and authentic documents before u.s, now rules, directly or indirectly, an empire of 1 .."1)0.000 square miles, with a population "f more than one hundred and .mUV millions. This vast empire, BO less remarkable fr its healthfulness and the booty of its scenery, than for its extent. embraces almost eery variety of soil and climate, oroducinz not onlv the cereals of the North and the tropical fruits of the j South, but many valuable articles of com m.rce peculiar to the East. The nominal Moaey capital of the Company is set down at .16,000,000 sterling, or eighty millions of dollars. Its annual revenues are estima ted at oue hundred and thirty-five millions, and with the development of country, and the consequent enlarged trade of the Com pany, they are annually increasing. The East India Company, at date of last report, con.-isttd of 1,750 stockholders, privileged to meet in general council. The holder of $5000 of stock has one rote; $15. 000 two: $:),000 three; and of 50,000 four; provided always he has been in poo- j session of the same twelve months. The ! laming it severely.

Next in importance are the reve nues from the opium trade, of which the Company enjoys a monopoly. In 18-10 the opium export duties at Bombay alone amounted to $5,000,000. and at Calcutta to $15,000,000. Since then they have vastly increased. The rales of opium the ! last 4ive years at tins latter port were as , follows: Sales 1850, 3&383 chests, .35,432.070 rap's 1851, 31.409 32.250,839 " 1852. 33.561 " 37,245,135 " " 1853. 30,463 " 38,343.033 " " 18.V1, 4?.3I9 " 30.727.584 " The price paid the producer is about 240 j tried to sever the hoad from the body, but rupees ($120) the chest.

The stockholders in the above company convened in regular annual meeting this afternoon, at Couamissdoners' Hall, in this place. On motion of CoL John McRae, the meet ing was organized by calling Hugh Wad dell, Esq., to the chair. Mr. Waddell, on assuming the position to which he had been called, made a stirring address, setting f rth tho magnitude and importance of the work, and appealing to the patriotism and public spirit of the stockholders aud citizens at large. His Excellency, Gov. Bragg, arrived here by last evening train. Wilmington Journal, 16th instant. . Baltimore, April 15. Seven large warehouses on Lombard and Charles streets were burued last night, involving a loss of over $300,000 twelve persons were injured and it is feared that some were killed. CONFESSION OF A WIFE MTJR DERER. Burning of the body by the husband. We stated a few days ago that Return J. M. Ward had been convicted at Toledo, , Ohio, of the murder of his wife. He has since, it apjears, made a full confession of the horrible deed to the Editor of the Tole do Commercial, from which journal we Confession. On Tuesday evening, Feb. .Id, Mrs Ward ami myself had some words during which she struck me on the head with a fluid lamp, also on the right side of the nose, causing it to bleed freely. I beg ged her not to strike me, took the lamp away from her and went to bed. We arose between six rad seven o'clock on Wednes day morninir. when I spoke to her about the bow she had given me, showing her wher she had struck me the evening be fore, eIso the blood on the bolster and tick. She said she wished I had bled to death, and picking up a stick of hickory wood. she attempted to strike me. I warded off the blow, which fell upon my right thumb, the ear-ring into the Hesh. She fell to the floor exclaiming, "Oh, Ward, you have kill ed me ."' I dropped the flat-iron and went to her; she was lying on her side; I turned my Nellie," meaning, as I suppose, her little girl. After she was dead I wrapped her head in a petticoat and drew the body under the bed, to conceal it in case any one should come in. About half past eight o'clock Wm. II. Nathan, a mulatto boy, came to the door with some milk; came into the shop, took the milk from him and he left. I then went to Liba Allen's grocery and bought a pound of sugar; told him I was going away. I then returned to the house, and after a short time commenced cutting up the body. I tore the clothes open from the throat down. I then took a small pocket knife and opened the body, took out the bowels first, and put them in the stove upon the wood; they being filled with air, would make a noise in exploding, so I took my knife and picked holes through them to prevent tho noise; then took out the liver and heart and put them in the stove: found it very difficult to burn them: had to take the poker and frequently stir them before they could be destroyed; found the lungs xcry much decayed. I then took out tho blood remaining in the cavity of the body by placing a copper kettle close to it, and scooping tho blood out with my hands. I then dipped portions of her clo thing in the same, and burnt them together, feuring that if 1 put the blood in tho stove alone that it might be discovered. I then niade an incision through the flesh, along down each side, broke off the ribs and took out the breast bono, and throwing it into a large boiler, unjointed the arms at the slou!der., doubled them up and placed them in the boiler; then severed the re maining portions of the body by placing a stick of wood under the back and breaking the backbone over the same, cutting away the flesh and ligament with a knife. Then and in tubs, under tho bed, covered up with a corded petticoat, and were there at the time the first search was made on Sutur- day b Constable Curtis Hearing cn Saturday evening that the citizens were not satisfied witli the search made by Mr Curtis, I proceeded on Sunday morning to destroy the remainder of the body by burning it in the stove, cutting I the fleshy part of tho thighs in small strips, I the more readily to dispose of them. On j Monday morning I took up the ashes in a small keg, sifting out the larger pieces of ' bone with my hands, placing the same in ; my overcoat pockets, which I scattered in ua . , ai Uuw' Also took the major portion of tho tn",k Uftils' with the "" and scattered them in different places. I then . v w "J clothing, disposing of small portions at a time to prevent their creating too much smoke. On the Gth instant the murderer was brought into court, dressed in a full suit of j black, appearing much downcast, and as ! the court commanded him to stand up, he arose, breathiug heavily, his eyes fixed upon the floor, and only momentarily seek ing the face of the Judge. With one hand he leaned heavily on the chair, while the other hung tremblingly at his side. After j the Juc'ge had pronounced sentence of j death, (to take place on the 12th of June,) ; ; Ward knelt down, and leaning on the chair. ; buried his face in his bauds, weeping and groaning until conveyed back to jail. A Homicide. On last Sunday morning, a free negro named Lockleir, was found dead about eight miles North of Lexington, ' North Carolina, shot through the breast, ! John Shoaf has been arrested on suspicion. J and is now in jaiL Grtentboro Patriot j "LOOK OUT FOR SPIES." Under the above caption the Camden Journal cautions the Southern public against a class of persons who are frequently travel ing throughout the South, and who, hailing from the North, may properly be regarded with suspicion. A correspondent of that paper says : "The late developments made by the committee who examined the luggage of the "strong minded woman" at Sumter, go to prove the necessity of some decided ac tion on the part of the people of our State, and of the Southern States. In view of the case of Mrs. Emerson, I would suggest the formation in each city, town and village of our State a Vigilance Committee, whose duty it shall be to look out for the arrival, watch the conduct, and note the departure of all suspicious persons frotn the North, and New England ; and should such per sons show' any disposition to meddle in our affairs, or fail to give a satisfactory account of themselves, give them reasonable time to depart, and report them to the other Com mittees throughout the State ; a course of this kind may prevent serious consequences to both parties in future. James Buchanan to Phebe Webber. The Fankfort, Ky., Yeoman publishes the following tribute from tho President of the United States to Mrs. Phebe Webber, of Wayne county, Indiana. It will be in valuable to his biographer. Mrs. Webber is a widow. She had heard that Mr. Buch anan lived in celibacy. As winter was approaching, the thoughtful old soul, fear ing his fingers might be cold, sent him a pair of mittens, and received the following reply : "Wheatland, Pa., Dec, 12, 1856. My Dear Madam : I have received your favor of the 5th inst., with the mittens you were kind enough to send me. I accept them with much pleasure, as a token of re gard from one of the matrons of Indiana. To yoar noble State the whole country is under great obligations, for its triampant support of the Constitution and the Union at the late President Election. In compliance with your request, I trans mit you a likeness of myself, and hope you will accept as an additional present, the en closed sum of $25. I trust that, under the blessing of providence, I may continue to deserve your good opinion, From your friend, very respectfully, James Buchanan, s Mrs. Phebe Webber." This is the first time we have heard of old Buck's "getting the mittens." Outrage. On Saturday evening last, while Professor DeGrath, the "Electric Oil" man, was talking from the top of a box to a crowd of persons at Dr. Ellis' corner, he was shamefully assaulted by John Maulsby, a well known individual of this city, who tripped up the box on which the Professor was standing, and threw him violently on his face on the ground. He recovered him self instantly, and planted two or three pretty effective blows with his fist in the face of I.Iaulsby, who drew a large knife and cut DeGrath in the back, inflicting a wound of several inches in length, but for tunately not penetrating to any vital part. The victim bled very profusely, but was able to walk to his hotel, and was about again yesterday morning. In addition to the stab, Mr DeG's hand was severely cut by the bottle which lie had in his hand at the time he was thrown from his box. What makes the matter worse, is the fact, that the victim of this outrage had given no provocation whatever for the assault. He was amusing the crowd in his way, but doing no harm. Maulsby was arrested and lodged in jail to await an investigation. Macon ( Ga.J Citizen The Propagation of the Faith. The North British Review recently published some very interesting statistics if the Ro man Catholic "Society for Propagating the Faith." The annual receipts of this So ciety are estimated at $G50,000. France contributes to it a much larger amount than any other country. This fund is principal ly devoted to the maintenance of a contest with Protestantism in Protestant countries. While the United States contribute to this Society only about $11,000 per annum, there are annually expended by it about 8 145,000 in the furtherance of its ends in this country. Yellow Fever Prevented by Inocula tion. We notice in La Cronica that Dr. Wm. L. Humbolt has discovered a means to prevent yellow fever by inoculation. The Government of Cuba, as La Cronica is informed, has directed the inoculation of the major part, amounting to one thousand of the newly arrived troops, which has re sulted in the greatest success, since none have been attacked by this terrible disease, which generally decimates the foreign popu lation shortly after their arrival. The op eration is similar to vaccination, by insert ing the virus discovered by Dr. Humbolt. generally in both arms. A few hours after this trifling operation, the symptoms, of a miniature yellow fever commence, aud all the pathological consequences follow rapid ly and slightly, rarely exceeding forty eight hours in duration, and with nothing more than a slight feverish action. Church Disturbances. Two sinrnilar disturbances occurred Sunday in one of the Philadelphia churches. The services of the Fourth Baptist Church were interrupted, both morning and afternoon, in consequence of the baptism of a young woman formerly a member of the Catholic Church. In the morning, at the time of the baptismal service, the sister of the convert interrrupted the solemnities of the occasion by her efforts to induce her sister to leave the church, but without avail. In the afternoon the com munion ceremony was performed, and the congregation was again annoyed by the efforts of the brother of the same voung woman to prevent her from participating in the cor in up ion service, and even threat ened to resort to force to get her from the church. He did not succeed, and the young woman was quietly removed and taken to her friendsr EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH. The Troy Times of the 6th recounts a singular trial of strength, which took place in that city on Saturday evening between James Madison "the cast iron man," and Professor Carl, the "strongest man in America." The challenge for a trial of strength sent by Carl, having been accept ed, a large assembly witnessed the perform ance : "Previous to the trial. Prof. Carl gave an exhibition of magic and ventriloquism, per formed his celebrated guitar and drum solos, balance sixteen chairs upon his chn and performed other feats calling for an exercise of strength, which must nave wearied him somewhat. Mr. Madison then appeared held an anvil weighing two hun dred and fourteen pounds upon his breast, while two men struck upon it with sledges; held an anvil upon each knee; broke a num ber of stones with his fist; bent a bar of iron one-fourth of an inch thick by striking it over his arm, and held an anvil weighing about two. hundred pounds upon each arm, while men struck upon it with sledges. Prof. Carl then appeared, held the anvils upon his breast; bent the bar of iron almost double upon his arm ; held the anvil upon his arms, etc., for a longer period than Mr Madison had done. He then took the large flint stones which had been rejected by his rival, and hammered them to pieces, sig nalizing his performance by cracking in two a flag stone about large enough to serve as a stepping block for a door. After this he held one of the heavy anvils over bis head for forty-one seconds ; lifted a sixty pound weight upon his little finger and swung it around his head, and held two men on his hair while he whirled them about, topfashion, until their feet stuck out at an angle forty-five degrees. Mr. Madison was then called out by the audience, and requested to give an account of himself. He excused himself in the mat ter of the stones by saying that his rival was in constant practice, while he had not broken a stone for a year. Being urged lo swing the weight about his head he declin ed to do it, on the score of inability, and as Professor Carl had held tho anvils on his knee. In short, he virtually acknowledged himself a whipped man. o-o-e THINGS IN UTAH. Washington letter-writers say the condi tion of affairs in Utah has claimed to some degree the attention of the administration, but no decision has been come to in the matter, the position of foreign affairs being considered of greater importance, and en grossing a largo share of the time of the President and Cabinet. So soon, however, as the Chinese and other qaeslions of moment affecting our foreign relations, are put in a fair train of settlement, Mormon dom will receive the consideration of the government to the degree which it deserves. The lawless state of things in Utah has forced the resignation of Hon. W W Drum mond, of the Supreme Court of that terri- ry. whose reasons for such a oourso aro of a nature to show the necessity for the in terference of the federal government. This statement adduces that the Mormons look to Brigham Young alone for law, consider ing no act of Congress binding; that there is a band of men set apart by special order of the church to take the lives and proper ty of all who may question the authority of the church ; that the records of the Court have been destroyed and the federal officers insulted for questioning the treasonable act; that the said federal officers are constantly insulted, harassed and annoyed ; and daily compelled to hear the name of the republic and the chief executives thereof, living and dead, not excluding our beloved Washing ton, slandered and abused by the masses and leaders of the church in the most vul gar, loathsome and wicked manner. But the time is nearly at hand when these traducers of all that is good, and workers of evil, will receive the due reward of their deserts. The recent army order, for a movement to the far West of a considera ble number of United States troops, is re garded as intended for the special benefit of the "Latter Day Saints," as they term themselves. I trust it may be so, aud that Gen. Harney, whose field of operations has been changed to the West, may be invest ed with the command of a body of troops sufficient to chastise these violators of the laws of God and man, and truducers of the Republic. That they deserve a sound thrashing is unquestioned, and that they may receive it is confidently hoped for and expected. The administration would fail in its duty were it to neglect to pursue such a course to the bitter end. SWINDLING REDUCED TO A SCIENCE. They have professors of all sorts in mod ern times in our chief cities; but it is only lately that we have learned that there is a scientific mode of swindling creditors, and that there are professors to teach the art. The following notice we cut from the ad vertising columns of the New York Herald: " Merchants embarrassed, in want of means, or willing to suspend with means, by financiering, can hear of a party who has just earned parties through to the amount of SO',000 without prejudice. Address 105 Herald office. Keterence given." We can imagine, from the history of the financial nnA r. --r 'u,u,Ulu circles or iew ioih., mat there must be abundant business' for this advertiser in that city. The efi frontery of offering to assist embarrass merchants, who are '-willing to sirspeit wm 7neans, by financiering" is amazing. The advertiser offers to give references, and we presume he will refer to some of the honorable parties whom he has "just carried through to the amount of $80,000." Is Jus sort of morality tolerated in New York, and do the commercial community really give a support to such professors of the art of swindling? Sxow at the South. New Orleans, April 13. A snowstorm occurred yester day at Vicksburg, Miss.; also at Summit, in the same State. The snow fell to the depth of an inch and a halt HINTS TO PLANTERS. It is to be feared that the present high prices of cotton may lead the planters of the South into a great error, viz : The di rection of all their energies, the present year, to the production of the sUple, to the neglect of the breadstuff crops. They for get, or are apt to do so, that a failure in the latter causes the success of the former to "turn to ashes" in their pockets. Cot ton is high, but may be readily brought down by over-production, and when that is done in time of scarcity in articles of food, the distress is wide-spread and disastrous. If cotton commands a good price, so does corn, wheat, and indeed grain of all sorts, together with beef, pork, mutton and other meats, into which they are converted. Let planters recollect this, and not be led astray by the temporary inflation of prices. We are candid to state our belief that otton will continue to command a good price, but not high enough to justify people in running wild in its production a state of things that is sure to bring about the revolution in value which they so much deprecate. Sa vannah Republican. Texas. The Galveston News, of the 7th instant, says : We learn that there was ice in Houston on Monday morning, an eighth of an inch thick. Every green thing we are told, has been killed. We have had but little infor mation beyond Houston ; but there is said to be no doubt that nearly all the crops in the country have been destroyed, so far as they were out of the ground. We are in formed that, in the upper part of the State, the ground was so dry that the seed had not generally come up, and this may possibly save some of our planters from the disaster. Both cotton and corn, that was up have doubtless been killed, and we learn there is not seed enough to replant, even should it not be too late. We have some hopes that the cane may have escaped. The loss to the State is almost beyond computation. L.tT' A few weeks ago an old gentleman and his lady were coming down from Iowa city to Davenport, when the cars were crowded. A young man got up and gave the old lady a seat, while his companion, another young gent, remained steadfast, and let the old gentleman stand. This did not suit our old friend, so he concluded to get a seat in some way, and quick as thought, turned to the young man on the seat beside his wife, and said: "Will you be so kind as to watch that woman while I - get a seat in the other car ? She takes fits." This startled the young gent. He could not bear the idea of taking charge of a fitty woman, so tho old gentleman got a seat, and his wife never was known to take a fit afterwards.

It is rumored that preparations are being made to send a thousand men from Charleston for the relief of Walker, and that Charleston and New Orleans contribute $5,000 toward the defraying of expenses. Popularity. A man named Kalloch, a preacher has recently been under trial in one of the courts in Boston for adultery. The jury could not agree and was discharged. Whether the fact was legally proved or questioned, but that every one who read the testimony is morally certain of the impropriety of his conduct no one can doubt Mr Kalloch has now got his name up and "draws" better "houses" than any preacher in Boston. He is the fashion. His congregation has earnestly requested him to resume his services as their Pastor. We fear that there will be something like an epidemic of this kind among the Boston preachers. There is nothing like encourage ment to stimulate the march of progress. How to Mend China.

He chanced to select, for the adornment of his study, a particularly bright tinted wall-paper, the pattern of whioh was y.xnfindpd to two shades of ereen. About two days after it had been applied, he first used the room in the evening, sitting there, or, roadincr bv a cras-licht. Whilst thus engaged, he was seized with severe depres sion, nausea, abdominal pain, and prostra tion. The same chain of symptoms ensued on every subsequent evening when he oc cupied the room. This led to an inquiry into the cause. He scraped off a little of the bright colouring matter from his pretty green paper, and, by sublimation, produced abundant crystals of arsenious acia. x ne paper was colored with arsenite of copper (Scheele's green.) The use of this pigment to colour wall-papers has already proved ininnniM in Drevious cases. In one, a child --j i sucked some strips of paper thus coloured, and narrowly escaped with life. (Ed. Monthly Journal, 1851.; Dr. Hinds re marks, that the presence of the arsenical pigment may be recognized by its brilliant and beautiful hue, and by a little running of the colour at the edges of the pattern, as though it did not take freely to the paper.

Many would undoubtedly lo cate immediately, but unfortunately there are no residences to rent.
