3.500 is covered by Insurance.
"Messrs. Costin & Gadoid rennet-1 us to return
tlnir thanks to tho "Howard" aod "Go -a head"

TAKE NOTICE.
Our readers will please take notice and observe
the vast advantages that the free States possess
over the slave States, in the matter of sobriety,
i. eency, order, cleanliness, honesty, chastity, and
all sorts of purities and amiable personalities.
The following is from the New York Tribune, a
paper that cannot be suspected of exaggeration
or misrepresentation in the statements below,
however the editor nay be disposed to "draw a
long low'' in other matters. Read it fellow-citizens
and sinners of the South, and liido your faces
In shame. Read it, and "then to breakfast with
what appetite you may." '
Mr. Grccly of the Tribune snys:
"Since the first of April," (we are told,) there
have been at least twice sixteen Attempts at mur
der, besides violent assaults and rum nolo fights
without precedent. Ten thousand hardened and
hopeless female outcast swarm the streets at
night; two thousand children, under tbe guise of
peddlers, from the age of ten to sixteen, penetrate
every public building, store and office In the city,
to beg, steal, spy for burglars, and on their own
account practice those vices which cannot be
named in respectable language; five thousand
great and small gamblers prey on tbe credulous
and the infatuated, standing all day at the doors
of their dens in Broadway, as well known in per
son and profession as the Mayor himself; ten
thousand lazy, drunken, thieving short-boys,
swill-boys, killers, roughs, and rowdies of other
names, lounge on the rum-cursed corners of tlffe
Ktreets, making day disgusting, hideous, and trav
el dangerous to all who can bo suspected of hav
ing respectability or money ; thousands of emi
grant swindlers, mock auctioneers, lottery deal
ers, policy backers, pick-pockets, ball thieves,
burglars, warf-rats, area sneaks, pimps and vam
pyres, practice their knaveries as openly, and with
as little fear of punishment, as though they were
engaged in the roost virtuous and legitimate or
human pursuits,1
KANSAS ELECTION.
Tho election for "Delegates to the Bute Con
vention to form a Constitution for Kansas, took
place on tha 13th nit. Tbe vote is very light, so
far as heard from ; it is thought that not more
than fifteen hundred rotes have been given in tbe
whole territory. We cannot at present form any
idea f the political character of the Convention.
It Is said the Constitution will be submitted to
tbe people, and, if need be, make that part which
recognizes slavery in the State, a separate arti
cle, to bo voted upon independently. The 8t.
Louis Republican says : " If endorsed by tbe peo
ple at the polls, no combination can prevent the
recognition of Kansas with such a Constitution.
If In tbeir wisdom a majority of the people should
reject the article recognising slavery, the minori
ty, as good citizens, will submit to tbe decree
against them. We know that tbe Convention
contains many able conservative men, and we
bop that tbey will exert such an influence as
will give to Kansas a Constitution republican in
all its features and such aa tbe country will ap
prove." ; V : : r -,
lot, the relfAble Correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, says: " Gov. Walker has endeavored
to Impress upon the pro-slavery party tbe neces
sity of submitting the constitution which they
may frame in September to those who will be ac
tual inhabitants of the territory at that time.

Niw.yoar, June 23, 1857.
This bat bees a glorious week for suckers and
loafers. We have bad a trend series of dramat
ic entertainments in the vicinity of the City Hall,
and all tbe pomp and circumstance ol weir, with
out much of tbe bloodshed which usuaHy follows
in the path of Mara. The 8ixth Warderaare po
tent with sbillalahs, and quite at home In a show
er of brickbats, but bayonets and ballets are less
to their taste. Our citizen soldiery bad only to
dij.pl-y themselves in the Park on Wednesday aod
the troobled waters grew calm. As for tbe de
tails of Ibe week's operations, yon have undoubt
edly received a plethora through the Hew York
papers. During apart of Wednesday balf tbe
business men In the lower part of tbe city left
i heir stores and gathered aronnd the City Hall,
bat after,! hat the crowd was principally como-
m-d of tbe peripatetic rum-jog who are always
abundant on such occasions. Thin whole affair
was the unluckiest tbiog possible for Geo. Walker,
though it did provide a ready made crowd for
him, on the evening of his advent. If be bad
come here last week be would have been lionized,
but we can't do everything at once. ;
Tho weather is most extraordinarv. It baa
been moist and firzl.ng all tbe w&k. and to-day
we have a hearty shower. Coal flrps have been
comfortable. All this has tended to check busi
ness,' and tbe week has been extremely dull, tho'
this Is nsual In tbe latter part of Jone. The
southwestern trade generally opens about tbe se
cond week in July. Pyrotechnics are beginning
to sell..- Tbe high price and small supply of fire
crackers will probably induce tbe offering of sonte
substitute. Nothing can be manufactuied here
generally which will compote with tbe wonder
fully cheap products of Cbineso industry. Who
in1 this country could produce a pack of fire crack
ers for two cents 1 Some goods manufactured
here expressly fur the Western trade have been
sold very low, owing to tbe diminished demand
from that quarter during the season. We have
keen well made Marseilles caps for spring wear,
selling at one York shilling, at retail ! Probably
tbe producer got sixpence.
Tbe Burdell marriage case progress -s slowly,
with some bard swearing on one side or tbe oth
er. urns isr tbe complexion or it is decidedly
favorable to Mrs. Cunningham, and if this suit re
sults in her favor, it. may diminish the popular
prejudice sgaint bet which still exists almost as
strongly as before her acquittal. People are not yet
started for the country, aa tbe weather baa not
held out any inducements to such a .course as yet.
The number of fashionables prepariog to make
tbe tour .of Europe this summer Is unusually
large. We are informed that tbe Trustees of Co
lumbia College contemplate enlablishing in tbii
city, a free university course, with lectures by
men of known ability, designed particularly for
Ibe benefit of artisans, engineers, etc. When
Ibis shall have been completed, New York city
will afford inducements to tho student almost as
great as those of any German city. We have bad
a few murders this week, but lh" public mind baa
been too much ex: (ted to notice tbi m. Tbe wea

says ' expect suicides abjut these days." .
TROOPS LEAVING THIS CITY FOR UTAH.
New Yobk, Juue 24. A force of one hundred

several days ago, for Utah, via tbe New York and
Erie Railroad. Before moving into tbe territory,
tbey will remain seme time at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, wbcrtf they will be attached to the sever
al regiments destined for Utah. Tbe recrnits real
from New York, for this purpose, belong to what
is called tbe general service that is, tbey are 11
ab'e to be drafted into tbe Artillery, Infantry, or
other class of soldiers. ' '
Two hundred or two hundred and fifty recrnits
will leave here for the same field of operations,
next Monday. Tbe entire force destiaed for tbe
Mormon Territory, will consist of three regiments
two of infantry and one of cavalry numbering
about 2,500. This army is consiJered soDlclent
ly large to keep tbe turbulent people of that re

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. j
A very destruciive fire broke out in this city
on yesterday morning, between two snd three o'
clock, which consumed slmost so entire block of
buildings. The fire originated in the ho: so of S.

and the alley, and spresd with great rapidity to
tbe sdjoining buildings in the block, which wss
composed of seven business bouses, six of which
were completely destroyed. r

GENERAL SCOTT AFTER BRIGHAM YOUNG.
We learn from Washington that Gen. Scott has
been called there by tbe President for consnla
tion, and is now edgaged in preparing the details
for the movement of the troops to Utah. It is al
so stated that the President finds no authority In
the constitution that will enable him to interfere
with Brigbam Young's matrimonial arrangements,
and that in creed and wives tbe Mormon Elder
will not be interfered with by tbe army. But all
tbe requisite J udges, Marshals and officers neces
sary to administer the government, will be sent
out with tbe troops, and order snd safety will be
secured there for .Gentile as well as .Saint. We
have every confidence in Gen. Scott and his ar
rangements. . Like that famous progenitor of his,
Capt. Scott, he is famous for bringing down bis
game. Bilgham Yecng Is undoubtedly aware of
the General's reputation, and as soon as he learns
that 8cott is after hint, be will call out, "you need
not fire, Gneral, I will come down." Ex.

WHinUT Vr PTITa, . -
' WatkingUtn, April 28, lS5t.
Mr Lobd : I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your lordship's note of the 10th in
stant, stating that the attention -of her Majesty's
Government anel of the British public has oi late
been awakened to tbe Irregularities attending the
enlistment of seamen on board tbe mercantile ves
sels of the United States, and the nature of their
treatment when so employed.
Your lordship expresses a hope that some rem
edial measure may be suggested for these abuses.
In reply, I have the honor to state that it Is be
lieved tbe laws now in force upon tbe subject of
seamen employed on board the merchant vessels
of the United SiaUs are quite sufficient for their
protection. Tbe execution of tbe e laws in for
eign countries for the most part devolves upon
Consuls. It is possible that these officers may
in some instances, have been delinquent in the
discharge of their doty in her Majesty's ports.
This Department, however, is not aware Of any
such delinquencies ; but, upon being satisfied of
their existence, wilt not hesitate to apply the
proper remedy. A copy of the United Stales Con
sular Regulations is herewith transmitted and
your lordship is particularly referred to Utcl6th
chapter, entitled "Duties of Consular . Officers in
relat'on to Seamen of the. United Slutes.
From the great demand for sailors in our ports
in proportion to, their supply, and the improvi
dence end-credulity which usually- characterize
them, they are necessarily exposed to hnpesition
to a degree which probably no laws could prevent.
It is presumed that seamen required for the Brit
ish mercantile marine in her Majesty's own ports
are more oMess subject to the same grievance.
I should be glad to concur in any measures for
the relief of this useful class of persons, but tbe
Itwsof this .country, intended to prevent their
maltreatment, are as effective, it is believed, as
those of any other. Instances may have occurred
where offenders have escaped punishment, but
this, I am persuaded, should be imputed to de
fective proof or other accident, and not either to
any inadequacy in the law itself, or to want of im
partiality in its administration. -
I avail myself, &c, . LEWIS CASS.
DEATH IN THE CARS.
Tho following affecting incident is retried in a
private letter from a gentleman traveling the
West: S
" We had a peculiar and affecting scene in tbe
cars, which cast a deep sadness over the whole
day. At Micbigsn city, where we changed cats,
we observed tbem moving a sick girl. Tbe par
ty consisted of a brother of about twenty years,
a sister of about sixteon, and tbe mother. The
invalid appeared about twenty-five, very emaci
ated, but with those lustrous eyes so common in
her disease, consumption, and Which fascinated
while it pained us to look at her. Tbe tender
ness and devotion of her people wss really beau
tiful. After we had gone some fifty miles, while
she was reclining on her mother's breast, who
was gently and carefully smoothing her hair, she
suddenly raised herself and fell back dead.
Then followed such a scene of wild snd frantic
grief, mingled with tbe noise of the rushing cars,
tbe scream of the locomotive, and tbe confusion
of tbe passengers, that no power of mine can
describe ; and this was continued for fifty miles
or more. We old tuch hearts found there was
one little spot not quito hardened."
THE POPULATION OF CHINA.
The accounts of tbe population of tbe Chinese
Empire, as given in school geogrsphies and sta
tistical hand-books, are usually gathered from
tbe census of 1815, the eighteenth year of Kia-
King, which gave China a population of 371, C 00,-
000. ; Tbe census of 1852, however, showed a
total of 290,000,000 Inhabitants ; so that at pres
ent, making all due allowance for civil war and
emigration, we may safely set down the popula
tion of China at 400,000,000. Many of the pro
vincial capitals hive a population ranging from
500,000 to f 1,000,000. '

REBELLION IN JAIL.
On Wednesday morning last, (25th inst.) says
tbe Wheeling Times, when the turnkey of Wash
ington couuty jail entered that well patronized
establishment, he was seized from behind by Bill
McCreary, a nctorious rascal, who assisted by
three other prisoners, named Hamilton, Black
and Huff, downed him in a cell, choked and gag
ged him, and then taking tbe key,1 made tbeir
exit through the front jail. People going to mar
ket saw the worthies showing tbeir coat tails to
the citizens of tbe town, and made chase. They
were all caught after a short run and recommit
ted. The turnkey's injuries consisted in a slight
compression of the windpipe, and a considerable
stretch of tbe open place in bis countenance, in
to which was unceremoniously crammed the
whole of a filthy old shirt to keep him from giv
ing the alarm. ,
;y , ; A SUBSTITUTE FOR STEAM.
, A professor in Baltimore has invented a motor
that the Patriot thinks may prove a substitute for
steam. It is produced by a compound of de sul
phated bi snlphuret of carbon, coaltar, and vola
tile or fixed oil, which, under certain, influence!
of best, becomes powerfully expressive and thus
gives momentum. The beater where tbe gas or
fluid is introduced, ia submerged in - a cistern of
heated oil, kept hot by a gentle fire.' In this con
dition tbe gas expands, gaining its power, and
passing through pipes and valves, acts upon the
piston, giving , motion to the engine. Tbe appli
ance are simple, easy of comprehension, free from
complication and not subject to accident or dis
arrangement. Thus steady active force is at
all times kept up. ' The cost of this fluid is esti
mated a t ten cen ts : per gal loo, and i t is . demon
strated that eighteen gallons, by careful attention,
will run an. engine of the capacity here noticed,

in tbe defeat of tbe Imperialists with a loss on

turbances, the remittances from tho tea district
had been sent back, and it wss feared that the

SENATOR BUTLER AND THE NEGRO WO
MAN'S PRAYER.
The Newberry Rising Sun, gives the following
anecdote of tbe late Senator Andrew Pickens But
ler, of a C.
"During Lis passago from Charleston to Wil
mington, on his first trip as Senator to Washing
ton, the boat , was oveitakep by a f-toiru, winch
rendered her an nnmanegeable wreck. She had
been forty-eight hours at sea, and the. captain
pronounced her lost. While she was rolling in
the trough of the sea, and expected every mo
ment to founder, Judge Butler had all called for
ward, and desired that each should know one an
other, so that if sny reached the , land, he, she or
they, might report the fate of the others. An el
derly negro woman, (the stewardess, perhaps,)
said, "Old master, this is no time for introduc
tions ; you had Letter pray." He said, 'I cannot,
but pray old lady, if you can.' She instantly
knelt down and poured put a fervent prayer to
God for deliverance. In a moment after tbe
lights of tbe steamer ser.t from Wilmington in
search of tbe missing boat were seen, and they
were saved. Mrs. Thompson, who heard tbe
Judge's narration after his return home, said to
him, "Brother Tlckens, that old woman's prayer
saved yon." r -
OVER THE FALLS.
The Holyo&e (Mass.) Mirror, of the 18th, gives
the following account of a daring attempt to cross
the Connecticut river at that place, and death of
tbe navigator :
"On Frlcay morning, about 7 o'clock, an Irish
man of twenty years of age, who had been but a
few days in th s country, attempted to cross the
river in a small boat from this plac to South
Hadley Falls, in search of work. .Not having any
oars at hand, he substituted some stripe of board;
little caculatlng tbe force of the current, aa also
of the wind, which was blowing strongly at tbe
time. When near the opposite shore, be allowed
his boat to head down stream, thinking to land at
the abutment at the head of the canal ; but before
be was aware, his boat was beyond bis control
and rapidly Bearing the fatal falls. He was seen
to struggle manfully against the current for a
while, and heard to scream' loudly for help, but
all lo no purpose. , When he knew that he must
go over the falls he lay down in bis boat and re
signed himself to his fate His boat came out of
tbe foaming waters much broken, and floated a
wsy down stream, but nothing could be seen or
baa since been 'discovered of the body of the
man.'!

Point or Hocks, Frederick County, Md. '
Da. Swavks. Dear Sir: Believing it a duty I
owe to the public, ' and in justice to you. I have
thought pioper to make known one of the moot
ex traordinary cures, in my own esse, that has ever
been truly recorded. Io the month of October Isst
I was afflicted with a severe gathering in my
breast, which formed a large abces. and also
communicated to my Lungs snd very much afflict
ed them, and discharged large quantities ofeorrup
tion, external and internal. My breath could lso
pars through my Lnngssnd not through the cav
ity of my breast with apparent ease, attended w ith
a violent cough,-day and night, loss of appetite,
and extreme debility, so that my physicians
thought my case eotirelv hopeless and beyond tbe
power of medicine. I remained in this wretched
condition for. a Ions; time, until I wss wasted to a
mere skeleton, and there seemed to be-no hope for
me ( bat Having read ia the public pspers of the
many wonderful etires performed bv your COM
POUND SVRCP OF WILD CHKay I im
mediately sent to Baltimore -for five bottles and
commenced its use, and to my great satisfaction
and my saxioue family, the abscess or opening in
my lungs begsn to heal, and ths coagh subsided
snd on using ten bottles I wss restored to perfect
health. I believe, that to your valuable medicine,
under the blessings of Divine Providence, I am
indebted for this great change, and I am happy to
say, that 1 am now enjoying as good health as J
everhsve. r '
Over five years have elapsed, snd I stilt remain
a perfectly hearty man at this date, June 2d, 1856.

in regard to prices, etc., the proprie

every city, town snd village shall be supplied
through its own Druggists and Dealt' s, but, in

small orders by Mail or Express, on receipt of the

Paio Killer with very little eff.rt on our part;
sales n-cre small at first, ba: as it became known
in our coramnuity, the demand increased very
rapidly . far beyond our expectations, and every
person that bonebt it would come aft-r mre.and
seak in the higbettt terms of it as a valnable
remedy for all those dUea your pamphlet upoke
of. From these recommendations we were in
duced to ii'e it in oar own families and now con
tinue its use with treat satisfaction. We have
sold more of tbe Pain Killer 4hn we ever have
i-incc or before of any other medicine in the same
U-ngth of time ; and we do not hesitate to say
that it has given better satisfaction to the purcha
ser than any other article w (sale ever sold.-'
