Among the interesting matter on oar outside form will be found on first page the Foreign News nd on the fourth page Report of the Agent of the American Tract Society, to the Seamen's Friend Society of this town. THE ELECTION. A telegraphic dispatch was received in town last evening, stating tht Bmco is elected by nearly 2,000 majority. The returns for the Legislature arc unsatisfacto ry. We defer further reports till we can give something like official returns. A DUEL PREVENTED. The Petersburg (Va.) Democrat states that Mr. F: S. Moore, of Wilmington, N. C, was arreted iu Petersburg on Tuesday evening, information having been lodged with the proper authorities of his intention to fight a duel with a gentleman named Jones, of the same State. Mr. Moore was recognised in the sum of 52,000 to keep tho peace for twelve rooDths. FOREIGN' CURIOSITY. The cariosity of Foreigners in regard to Dis patches to onr Ministers abroad, is said to be so great, that they aro opened at the' Post Offices in Europe. The U. S. seal is not respected, and it is said the American Eagle, which, from being so often opened and closed in transitu, is completely changed into a turkey buzzard by the time it reaches its destination. In view of these matters. Col. Mann, the As sistant Secretary of Stte, has gone to Europe to see, with his own eyes, and to give instructions to our Ministers. SUPERIOR COURTS. The following is the arrangement by the Judges for the Fall Court : Edenton, J udge Dick. Newbern, Judge Caldwell. Raleigh, Judge Ellis. Hillsboro', Judge Bailey. Wilmington, Judge Manly, Salisbury, Judge Saunders. Washington, Judge Settle's successor. SAN JUAN. The papers are filled with comments on the late affair at San Juan or Greytowu, in which that place was destroyed by the American ship of w,tr the Cayene. It is a very complicated business. The trouble first grew out of wrongs perpetrated by the au thorities of San Juan on an American company called the Nicaragua Transit Company, an account of which, with the maltreatment of Mr. Borland. has already been published. Our attention is called to the subject by the confusion into which letter writers and newsmon gers have thrown the whole matter. One party says that this is a challenge to the British Govern ment, who claim the Protectorate of the place, and " let us see," say they, '' if she will accept it." This is the cut throat class who want war with England, Spain, or any other nation, so that their thirst for blood and penchant for the spoils may be gratified. In regard to the British claim : Mr. Samuel Wood, of the firm of S. S. Wood & Son, gives the following account : " The British Government having, both for it self and the King of the Mosquito territory, of which it had maintained the protectorate, aban doned all authority over Grey town, the inhabit ants, in 1852, organized a Government, and in con formity with the excellent and liberal constitution they had unanimously adopted, elected the muni cipal officers. At the very first election the agent of the Transit Company, with the entire force of workmen in his employ, attended the polls, com ing over in boats from their station across the riv er at Punta Arenas for the pnrpose, and by their efforts, a city council was chosen, consisting of five American citizens, with the understanding that they would be favorable to the objects and rights of the company. Three of these members elect were from New i'ork, one from New Orleans and one from the State of Arkansas." Now it slips from nndcr the British authority, and also of the Mosquito King, whom we are ac cused of bullying and assaulting, because he is weak, and comes directly under the jurisdiction of the United States ; and the American comman der is accused of destroying the property of inno cent Americans and other citizens of San Juan. Scarcely has the territory been fixed as the An hit fi le property of Uncle Sam, before we hear, from a Washington letter writer tlmt " Mr. Mar coletta, the Minister from Nicaragua, has entered a strong and pungent protest against the wanton and outrageous assault upon, and destruction of, the town of San Juan de Nicaragua a town clai ming to be within the territory and jurisdiction of the Nicaraguan Republic. Mr. Borland himself, in his letter to Mr. Marcy, states that the United States Government had acknowledged the sover eignty of Nicaragua over the Musquito Territory. Of course, the United States Government should have sought redress from the State of Nicaragua, instead of the destruction of the town of San Ju an. Again, if San Juan was not within the juris diction of Nicaragua, then Mr. Borland had no right to protection in his diplomatic chatacter in that town." , We have no douUl but the inhabitants of San I Juan are a shabby set, and deserved punishment, j But the chief blame of this affair may be attrib- 1 ntcd to Mr. Borland, our Minister, who has cau- i sed the Administration, by his representations, to ! commit a disgraceful act. Knowing the temper and character of Borland the Government should ' have acted more cautiously. We learn from a letter dated at the Irving How, N. T., July 28, that Captain Smith com nianded a steamer belonging to the Transit Com pany that he run his steamer intentionally into a native boat with passengers, the Captain of which threatened to shoot him if he did not desist that the steamer had proceeded a considerable distance from said boat when Borland demanded of Capt. Smith " why he did not shoot that black ;" that thereupon the former turned his steamer, went below and loaded his rifle, and deliberately shot the Captain of the native boat. For this crime a warrant was issued to apprehend Captain Smith; bat Borland prevented the arrest, threatening tc shoot the Marshal if he came on board that sub sequently Borland went to the house of the Amer ican Coiuwcicial Agent to spend the night that a report having been circulated that Captain Smith was also there, a number of the natives collected with tbe view of arresting him that Borland thereupon came out and abused the peo ple io'tbc most opprobidus language that during his speech some one threw a bottle at bis head, which Hd him no injury upon which the Mayor at once offered a reward' of fifty dollars for the sp prebenaion of the offender and that the next day an apology was sent in form to Borland by the City Attorney. From what we can gather wc believe the Ad ministration has acted not only inconsiderately, battery fooliably, and that the minister, Borland, acted very much like a ruffian and blackguard which is not SO much to be wondered at, seeing hto had been taking lessons in Congress, for some time before his departure. CAMPHINE ACCIDENT. We have almost daily occurrences of accidents by camphene or fluid. We have another. Mrs. Everly, who keeps a dry goods store on Second street, Philadelphia, was dreadfully burned on Sunday evening, by the contents of a camphene or fluid lamp igniting while she was very impru dently (n'ling it when lighted. Her clothing took Are, and the unfortunate woman was so shocking ly burned that her life is despaired of. COUNTERFEITER. Charles Wisener was arrested in Philadelphia, on Monday, on a charge of counterfeiting gold dollars in the city of New York. It is alleged that Wisener is an old offender, and that his last operation in this line was in connection with a gang of four or five in New York, all of whom but this defendant were arrested and convicted on charges of counterfeiting two months ago. DEATH OF COL. LILLINGT0N. . Tbe Raleigh Star of Thursday says: "We were very much pained to hear by last Tuesday's stage that Col. Lillington of Mocksville, had died a day or two previous. Col. L. was an intelligent, noble hearted and generous man, lorved and res pected by all who knew him. His loss will be deeply felt by an extensive circle of friends" and relatives, and a void will le felt in" the hearts of many,wlio were bound to him by his social qual ities. He had been iu very bad health during the I summer, so much so that he ctild not canvass the Senatorial District in which ho was elected. j But a few days passed after he was again elected to the Senate by the voice of a majority of hi j constituents, when the hand of death was laid upon him." MISSOURI ELECTION. Colonri amnion Drf'ated Triumph of thr Knoir Xi'tAinss. St. Locis, August 0. Louis M. Kennett, whig has lecn elected to Congress over Thomas II. Ben ton, ami the entire American ticket has triumph ed in the city. Kennctt's majority in St. Louis over Col. Benton is 600. The legislative returns indicate that the State legislature will bo very close. A serious riot between the Know-Nothings and the Irish is progressing at the time this dispatch was closed. FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Baltimore, Aug. 10. The express train from Philadelphia, due here at 4 '2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was detained until about 7 , in con sequence of the locomotive being thrown from tin track, by which, unfortunately, the fireman was almost instantly killed, and the engineer danger ously injured. None of the passengers sustained any injury. The accident occurred near Perry -ville. Sun. A FAMILY SWEPT OFF BY CHOLERA. In Brooklyn, a few days ago, a female who took i:i washing, had occasion to wash clothes for a person who had recently disembarked from a for eign voyage. The next day she was seized with the most virulent Asiatic cholera, and in a very short time was a corpse. She was interred on the day following. Scarcely had the bereaved bus band entered his house, on his return from his wife's burial, when he was seized and soon fol lowed her. One by one the family were taken away. In the space of one week, seven persons, father, mother and children, were swept off "Mr. Jones, bav jo 8- atch 1" "Yes sir a match for the devil there she is mixing dough." - Jones pointed at lira. Jones, and then put up for tbs front yard- Th Ut wo saw of him, he was puttiuf down tto roid, closely pursued by a rd-hedd lady and a cistern pole, - IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN ENGLAND A man named William Miller, who was impris oned in Winchester jail England, thirty-nine years ago for debt, still remains confined on the same charge, though he has now become seventy-one years old. The last three years and eight months of his s:ay in Winchester jail were spent in soli tary confinement. Some humane person heaving of his case, had him transferred to the Queen's, prison, London, where he now enjoys com para tive liberty. SiUCK IN Til E .MUD Rostov. Aug. 5. A man by the name of Mike Irvis, went over to the City Point House at South Boston, in company with a friend of his, on Thurs day last, arid having ' jollified" sowewhat too pro fusely, they went down to the flats off Blake wharf, where it was cool, and it bring low tide they made for themselves a bed in the seaweed and lay down to rest. This was all very fine tin til the tide beg:in to rise, when Mike woke up with an uncomfortable sensation of dampness pervading his system, and worse than all, found himself stuck fast in the mud. and totally tumble to lise. Mike's companion was more lucky, how ever, for his bed being selected in a harder spot he was able to jump up and run, which he did most speedily, leaving poor Miko to bis fate, and to kick up his heels in the air only to sink deeper for the exercise. Most fortunately for the poor fellow, officer Howard of the Cth Station happen ed along at this juncture, and with much difficul ty drew him out from his dangerous bed. Mike was taken to the Station house, where it was found that his fear had made him sick ; therefore Dr. Fogg was called to his aid, and gavo him such a dose that the patient was nt once relieved, but lunch lightened. He says he never again will make up his bed on South Boston flits. Chronic' HYDROPHOBIA. A man named Johnson was attached nilh hy drophobia , yesterday afiernoon, at his hone on Front street, Charleatown. The disease was caused by the bite of a dog three months ago. He was suffering intensely in spasms Thnrsday evening and was not expected to live through the night The bite was on the thumb, and the wound had apparently healed. A rabid dog made its appear ance in the house of Thomas A. Matthews, Endi cott street, Thursday afternoon, and after jnmp- ing over onu around a cradlo which contained an infant, he attacked Mrs Matthews, who retreated to a closet. Mr. M. came into the house and tin dog attempted to bite him. He succeeded in dri ving (he furious animal into the yard, where, be fore it could be killed, it bit a person in the thumb. Dr. Ayer was called, who immediately sliced the flesh from the thumb and dressed tbe wound A. A CASE OF 8LAYE PIRACY. Philadelphia, Aug. 6. A Frenchman, said to be named Donald, but who Bays his name is Sarul Nichols, was brought before Commissioner Ingra ham yesterday and fully identified as having been the captain of the ship Grey Eagle during her re cent slave voyage, and that he landed 600 slaves on the Island of Cuba. The principal witness waa a boy who was on board of her, and who described the" whole voy age, fully identifying the prisoner as the Captain he served under. The examination waa finaHy postponed till Monday, the boy having failed to appear at a postponed examination this afternoon From, the AVio York Commercial ! Advertiser. THE LATE EVESTS KfUS JUAH 62 SUTTOWH Tho news from Kingston, the British naval sta tion in tbe West Indies, shows that the bombard ment .of Grey town baa greatly exasperated the leople there, who seem to think that ln place was still under: British protection. Some small vessels of war had becn'sent with relief for the citizens of the ruined town, and it is said that the following proclamations had been issued by Lieut. Jolly, the British officer who protested against tbe bombardment : PROCLAMATION. In conseqnence of the non-existence of all civil authority in thi city of Greytown, (caused by the late outrage,) I, being charged, as far as my pow er extends, with the protection of lives and pro erty, do hereby proclaim tho citv and territory of Gi eytown, as described by its Constitution, under "martial law." Given under my hand on board II. M. schooner Bermuda, at Grrytown, Mosquito this lSh day of July, 1801. A. D. Jolly, Lic.itenant aul Commander. PROCLAMATION. It having been brought to my noticu that, in eonseqnence of the lute cru.-l outrage committed by the United States ship Cyane. many depreda tions and i hefts have been committed on the prop erty necessuri'y left unguarded. I herol.y proclaim that any pcrvon lu ought before me with sufficient proof of having committed such thefts or depre d itioi.s shall le severely flogg d on board II. B M. ship Bennud.i. under my command. Given on board II B. M. ship Bermuda, at Greyluwn, tl.ii l:h day of July, 1801. A D. Joi.i.r, Li utenant Comm. inding. We are a!ho told that ' on the 20ih instant Lieut. Jolly sent a force of marines ashore to take n brass cannon which he fays belongs to Great Biit" ain. ami was left for the protection of (ho town.' And it is added that ' lie took it under protest of the United States c;tnm rcial ngerit ; ' but, as Mr. I" a bens is rcpoitcd to have left the port iu the Cyme en the lUth instant, it is not easy to per ceive how this probed could have been made. The Kingston (Jamaica) papers say that du ring the bombardment th'.- Biitish Consul's rcsi idencewns burnt down, with the Biilish (lug which was flying,'' and although they ridicule, the afTair by saxing that ' there va8 no loss of lie be yond that of two horses and a cat.'' they declare that Gieat Britain has no alternative but to a veijge the insult r.ffeied to her flag and the injury done to her ally." There is e idem !y danger that in the cxeite n ent of the moment something m iy be done to aggravate this matter unnecessarily into a cause of quarrel between the United States and Great Britain. If the woild had not grown wiier than it was hull a century ago, there would indeed be reason to npptvhcnd war from even sTghtcr elud es than spring from the cii cutnst.inces attending the destuirt ioti of jSan .Juan; but we trust that there is sufficient prudence and good sense re maining with the statesmen of both countries to avert such a calamity. We incline to think, with the Express, that a little 'i.ne will set all things right in this business, and restore the ruffled tt m ' jer of our English :'iictidsto their wonted good nature. If Great Britain should find any cause of war in this business, we do not see why France or any other Power whose subjects or citizens owned property in the bombarded town might not ay some a similar position. All will probably con tint themselvis with demanding pecuniary rc uuineiation for their respective losses. A tele graphic despatch from Washington to tho Jour nal ef Commeice states that the Nicaraguan Min ister had presented a vigoious protest to our Government, which necessarily involves a demand of reparation for injuries to Nicaraguan proper ty. Since the above was in typo wc have, received the following. copy of a letter addressed to the sgent of the Accessory Transit Company by Com mander Hancock, of II. B. M. S. Espicgle. It con fit ms the intelligence of Lieut. Jolly having pit .Inini' d inaitial law at Grextnwn, 1 ut is en tirely courteous and encourages the belief thai nothing will be done to provoke host ili'.ics. TU letter gives assurance thflt the Accessory Transit Company will be pvt milled to carry on their bu siness as heretofore, nrnl tl...l their propetty will be respected and pinticted. There n ill therefore be no interruption of ihu conveyance of passen gers and freight by thif ionic: H ,M S. Efi; -;lr, tint vtown. July 29 1801. Stir: The laic destruction of that part of the city of Greytow u situated upon the south side of the harbor having rendered it necessary for hci Utitanic Majesty's naval fotces to interfere in the i e-establishment of the Government and Ihu pro lection of the inhabitants I have to inform you that, although I am fully auare that tho occupa tion of the point wheieoti lire situated the factor ies of the Accessory Transit Company has ever been a disputed p- int between that company and the authoiities ol Grtytown, without entering in to that question now, 1 can only consider those buildings as funning a part of the city until the circumstances lately transacted here, having been fully brought before the respective Governments, shall elicit a decided arrangement. In the meanwhile, I find Lieut. Commanding Jolly, of H. B. M. schooner ' Bermuda," has found it necessary for the preservation of life and prop erty to proclaim the city of Greytown under mar tial law, in the necessity of which step I fully con cur. I hereby inform you that so long as your employes and laitorcrs, &c. conduct themselves peaceably they will be permitted to carry on their business as heretofore, and shall be protected from any aggression in the same manner s the other portions of the city.

The recent collision between the ships Trade Wind and Olympus at sea, resulting in the loss of both vessels, w ill long hold a prominent place in the annals of shipw recks and disasters. A Liver pool dale of the 17th says that the American ship Empire from New York, arrived that day at Liver pool, reported having fallen in w ith tho foremast of the Trade Wind, longitude 58 degrees west, with one man on it, who had been in that position for six days. His sole nutriment during that pe riod consisted of a small piece of tobacco. Upon discovering him a bot was lowered from the Em pins and put off towards tho wreck, when the man swam off to her. The rescued man reported that two others who had taken refuge on the foremast with him had died from exhaustion and exposure. A DENTIST IN TROUBLE. Philadelphia , August 8.

ApriTat letter from Florence, of Jane 29th says:- ; ' ",'-- . - Onr reports from the fi-ee rallies of Piedmont are 'more cheering. It appears by authentic statements made at the meeting of the Vaodois Synod (Church of tbo Waldenses) last week, that a better spirit is abroad in the northern section of that kingdom os Well as throughout the popu bus relon alons; the sea between Genoa and Nice. A largo number of volnntcer lay delegates were present, who reported that there is a present call among the people for more light on tbe great question of government and religion, and that some eminent civilians are earnestly engaged in diffusing it. This may be reckoned amorg the first fruits of a free press. Every considerable town in the kingdom now has its daily or weekly journal, and there are some twenty seven papers in the capi tal, promoting the woik of diffusion, under the auspices of a liberal government. Among the benefactions recently received from the United States, is a donation of 5000 from a benevolent gentleman of New York, towards building a free church at Pignarole, near Turin. Powers' noble statue of Washington, ordered by the State of Louisiana is now completed, and will be shipped by a vessel to New York within a few days. It is a grind work, and the lovers of rt would do well if they could obtain the con sent of the government of the jiatrioli; State n hieh it is to adorn, for its exhibition en pasant in the Ernpiie City. The artist is now engaged on the statue of Wwbster, ordered by the people of Boston. The great orator is represented iu the attitude of defending the Constitution, which is firmly S rasped in one hand, while the other rests upon the s uibol of the Union, which it secures. 1 have seen nothing among the remains of ancient sculpture at all comparable to this last achieve ment of American genius. There is assuredly no head in the populous Pantheon of Greek and Romnn notabilities to compare uith that of the American statesman. 11. Steamer Fanny - Loiter loh; Srcdnian, for Fayettevjlle, by W.

INDIAN BATTLE ON THE PLAINS. The 8t. Louis Republican states that an Indian battle recently took place at the 'Buffalo Grounds," about 100 miles beyond Fort Riley, between 700 Cheyennes and Arrapahocs, awl 400 Delaware, PotUowatomies and Sacs. The former had over fifty of their party killed, while the latter lost on ly some three or four. This difference, consider ing the disparagement in numbers, is accounted for by the fact tbe latter were armed with rifles, while the former had but few fire arms and depen ded upon bows and arrows.

The balance of the parly were revi rely stunned, but we are glad to learn that they are recovering. The lightning struck one of the negroes on tho head, ran down the spine and right leg. splitting his toes in pieces, and making a hole like lhat of a bullet in the solo of his shoe, passing to the giond. The skin of the other negro was not broken. Also on Fii day following, Dr. George JclTbrson, of the same m ighboihood hud a team of five holies killed in-tanlly by the same cause. The driver had for tunately left the team and taken shelter from the shower in an old house, but for which eiicuni stances he would doubtless have bet n killed. FATAL ACCIDENT.

Men of literal education I at the present day, devote all their talents to dis cover the means whereby they may remove those painful maladies which assail the humnn frame. There is no nobler art than that of healing the sick, considering the numberless diseases to which man is liable, and which may cause him to drag out a protracted life of distress, or suddenly cut him off in the bloom of his existence and useful ness. Wc should gratefully seize upon every means of counteracting their dreadful effects, or causing a removal of those clogs to happiness. In those cases where the Liver or the Stomach is the cause, wc would highly recommend Dr. Hoodand's j German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson. No m d'nine at th;s time stands higher than these Bitters, and to those who are suflering from the horrors of Indigestion, xvo say they are the anti dote. 62.0t i & A SECRET FOR THE L ADIES - HOW TO PRESERVE BEAUTY.
