The Louisville Times of the 31st ult has the following: “We receieed a telegraphic despatch LEGAL BLANKS of all kinds for sale . yesterday from Maysville, informing us that Gen Thomas Marshall,of Lewis county, was killed on the day before in an affray with one of his tenants named Tyler or Taylor. We were not advised as to the particulars of the unfortunate affair.” The Imprisonment of the American Consul at Acapuleo.— Mr Mason ask~ @l leave to withdraw the papers of Francis W.

At all events, the summary manner in which some of the buildings of the company had previously been demolished, as we have before intimated, justified his interference, but whether he did not resort to extreme and unjustifiable measure, as is asserted, is question which it is difficult to determine. When this official report comes to hand embracing the facts on which his action was based, a more definite and just opinion can be formed of the propriety of his course. New York, April 5. The Africa’s advices inform us that in the House of Commons Mr Swat, has read, and caused to be published, a letter proving the pacific relations existing between Hngland and France. Austria has renewed former rigors towards Englishmen traveling through her domains, and has renewed the the attention of the English govern. ment. 4 The Madiai family had arrived at Marseilles.

It is reported that the Russian fleet was clustered near Constanlinople.— The English Charge ordered the Hnglish fleet from Malta, but the comman-~ider refused without orders from the Government. 7'he French fleet, from Toulon came up immediately after.— Information received later at Paris stated that the affairs of Zurkey had the Amcrican ‘Z'ransit’Co located at that place.

The Boston Journal says : The land upon which the depots were located had been occupied by the Company since June, 1851 under a lease, according to one account from the agent ofthe Musquito King, the Company agreeing to vacate at any ed for other purposes.

However this may be, it appears that the city marracing burst her boilers and 36 lives, the connivance of the citizens, proceewere lost.

Subsequently a writ of ejectment was made out, and was to have been served on the I2th of March. The agent of the company having apparently made up his mind to resist the authorities no longer, made prepara~ tions for the removal of the company’s office to a dismantled barque lying in the harbor, and the horses and stores of the employees to the south side of the bay in the town proper.— Zu the meantime, however, the sloopof-war Cvane arrived, and the commander, as in duty bound, and probably acting under instructions from our government, determined to protect the rights of the American company.— This duty he performed in an efficient manner, but whether his proceedings were justifiable is the point to be decided. According to the statement pnt forth in behalf of the citizens, the action of the self-constituted government was regular and legal and Commander /iollins resisted the lawful authorities and interfered to prevent the enforcement of a process conducted according to the due forms of law recognized and acknowledged by all civilized nations. On the other hand, it is fair to presume that the commander of the Cyane had good reasons for the belief that the rights of the comS. sloop. fore it, and there is barely a quorum present. Baltimore, April 6.—Seymour has . been elected Governor of Connecticut . by a respectable majority. All the . Congressmen elected are Democrats. . From San Dicgo & Los Ange les. Excitement and Deadly Affray in Sania Barbara. By the arrival of the steamer Ohio, Capt Briggs, from the southern ports, we have dates from . Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa . Barbara, several days later. From San Diego to the 23d ult., Los Angeles, 80th. Zhe following painful in. telligence comes to us from Santa Bar. bara ; For some past the ranch known as i the Arroyo Burro has been in possession of one John Powers who held it under a squatter claim. On Saturday last the sheriff, W. W. 7’wist was about . to proceed to serve a writ of ejectment 'on Powers. It being intimated to him . that to get possession he must do so ‘by force of arms, he called upon the . citizens to meet in the Plaza to render . him assistance in the execution of his duty. Zhe party procured a large cannon to take with them and while on ‘the Plaza a man threw his riata over it to draw it away. Zhe sheriff ordered him to desist ; during the disute a Californian stepped behind Twist and stapped hin, the latter turn. ed round and shot him dead. A gen. ' eral firing then commenced, during which J. A. Videl was killed, Monpay Mornina.~-The excite/ ment has somewhat subsided on ac. count of the arrival of the cutter Ewing whose commander offers to render {all assistance in his power in the exccution of the law. At last accounts T'wist was very low, but hopes were entertained of his recovery. There is not much other news from the South. The following items are from the San Diego Herald ; From the Colorado.— We \earn that the Yumas have come down in large . numbers from the mountains to cultivate their planting grounds in the vicinity of Fort Yuma; their numbers are considerably larger than was anticipated by the authorities at the post. The rich and fertile Jands on the Gila and Colorado are capable of being made to produce all the tropical fruits and vegetables, and by the time the . will be an abundance of melons,squash. imprisoned for different periods, the es and other vegetables for use. Messrs Dennis and Alden have a very extensive drove of sheep lately arrived in the lower country from New Mexico. Mr Dennis went downa few days ago to meet them. Capt Ingles arrived here on the Sea Bird. He proceeded to the Colorado forthwith, to relieve Major Andrews, the much respected Quartermaster at Camp Yuma. Later from Europe. The steamship Niagara reached Boe ton on the Ist of April, bringing later dates from all parts of Europe : ENGLAND. Mr. Mills drew the attention ef Government to the fact that the only winter route of Rritish troops to Canada is through the territory of the, United States, and asked if Government intended to facilitate, by guarantee or otherwise, the completion of the Halifax and Quebec Railway. Lord John Russel! spoke of Austrian proceedings towards Sardinian subjects in consequence of the Milan insurrection. The Sardinian Government had requested the British Government to interfere against sequestration, and Great Britain had written a strong letter to Vienna; but in the meantime tho Austrian authorities had stated that it was their intention to remove sequestration frem parties proving themselves innocent. Lord John Russell also stated that the Government had received notice that the Grand Duke of Tuscany had liberated the Madiai family, and allowed them to leave Tuscany. FRANCE. The Emperor's policy at the present
moment being to preserve a quiet aspect towards all governments until after the Coronatien, political news is scarce. Great anxiety is manifested for the Pope's visit to Paris. It is likely, but not certain, that he will come. On dit, that the Emperor of Aastria insists on the ‘Pope coming to Vienna to crown him, but to this Napoleon will not assent. It is very doubtful if Napoleon will concede anything in spiritual affairs to the Pope, if he does come to Paris. General Canobert has been again offered St. Arnaud’s portfolio, but declines unless Changarnier, Lamoriciere, Bedeau and Lofie be amnestied. An entertainment was to be given on April 2d by the city of Paris to the Emperor and bulge: M.

All employees on the public works must forthwith take the oath to the Constitution. PORTUGAL. Profestor Gervinns will leave Heidelberg on the expiration of his imprisonment, and reside at Bonn. An American lady has been arrested at Heidelberg, who came direct from the United States, for having a number of pamphlets, declared by the police to be of a revolutionary character. Another lady, (a German,) who had emigrated to America a6 Miss Hitzfield, and returned on a visit to her friends, had been taken into custody on the allegation of having expressed s ys for the assassin who chempted the Emperor’s life, and she still remains in prison. AUSTRIA. Tho Emperor has completely recover. ed. His physicians have recommended him to trayel in the Tyrol. The Church ceremony in honor of his escape passed off quietly on the 12th. Government is extremely dissatisfied with the recent statements in tho British Parliument, that England would not expel refugees. Austra thinks it would be of no uso to prosecute Mazzini or Kessuth in England, as no jury would find them guilty. Haynou died on the 14th March, at Vienna. The event was quite unexpected. Aitter his Italian journey, he appeared in excellent health. On Saturday he joined the other general officers at the Bellaria, and attracted the partic. ular notice of his Majesty, who addressed him on passing with, “My salutation, General,” (Grusse Sie, Herr General.) Yesterday he was at the Mercantile Union, as usual. At midnight he returned to Munch's Hotel, where he was lodging, and soon retired to rest. At hal t one he summoned his valet, and directed him to fetch him a glass of water, as he felt unwell. When the man returned he found his master gasping for breath ; in short, in the agonies of death. Medical assistance was im~ mediately calle 4 in, and an attempt to take blood fives the General's arm was made, but in vain ; General Haynau had ceased to be. ITALY. The Opinione, of Turin, denies the rert that Mazaini had embarked for alta on board of the English frigate Retribution. Mazzini knew perfectl that this frigate was not bound for Malta, but for Leghorn. Twenty-seven persons, probably concerned in the conspiracy which was discovered some eight or ten months ago at Mantua, received sentence at Verona. shortest of which is eight LOMBARDY. The inhabitants of Milan have been telieved from the order to illuminate their houses at night ; but on the signal of acannon shot from the Castle, the whole. city must be illuminated, the doors closed, and the streets deserted. The military are employed in strengthening the fortifications and gates. The state of siege is rigidly enforced, and no officers go out without escort. Der Lloyd states that the value of the confiscated property is £50,000.000. SWITZERLAND. The old Switzer spirit seems aroused against Austria. From Berneit it is rerted that Austria, without occupying Ticino, will maintain the blockade indefinitely, but no answer has yet been iven to the note of the Federal Council. rivate accounts tell sad stories of the sufferings of the banished Ticenese ; women and children perishing by the wayside. POLAND. A council of war has condemned Constantine Zatzico Szetniawsky and Stanislas Grudzinski to four years banishment to Siberia, and confiscation of their estates, for taking part in the war in Hungary, « TURKEY. New disturbances have arisen at Denizli, in Anatolia, itis supposed in consequence of the heavy taxes. Conflicts took place in the streets, many lives were lost—one hundred, it is said; and the bazaar remained closed for some ange. he Turks have evacuated Montenero, and Omar Pasha had retired to Alanis, Reschid Pasha to Nicsitch and Dervis Pasha to Koroine; the Montenegrins having attucked the last named General. and completely routed him. Prince Menchikoff, the Russian Ened conferred with the Sultan on the Faud Effendi bad resigned, and was wren by Riffat, (perhaps Reschid,) asha, ears. P On the demand of the Grand Vizier, the Charge d’Affairs of England had sent despatches to Admiral Dundas, commanding the fleet in the Mediterranean, at present at Malta, begging him to come, with all convenient speed, and to anchor in the Archipelago. From Panch’s Pocket Book. The Last Fly of Summer. ‘Tis the last fly of summer, Left yoaten alone ; All its black-legged companions Are dried up and gone. Not one of its Kindred, . No ee nigh, 0 sport ’mid the sugars, Or in the milk ~. Pll not doom thee, thou lone one, A victim to be, Since the reat are all vanished, Come dine you with me. Thus kindly . scatter Some crumbs of my bread, Where thy mates on the table Lie withered and dead. But soon _ will perish, I'm sadly afraid, For the glass is at sixt Just now in the shade. When wasps have all vanished, And blue bottles flown, No fly can inhabit This bleak world alone. Profane Words, As polished steel receives a stain From drops at random flung, So does the child, when words profane Drop from a parents tongue. The rust eats in, and oft we find That naught which we can do, To cleanse the medal or the mind, The brightness will renew. eG. It would-appear from the following, that the modern system of medicine, the Water Cure, has never yet penetrated the region of Egyptian darkness : kgyptian infants are never washed till they are a year old, as there is a po superstition that to wash them efore they attained that ege would be disistrous. weH. The North Pacific Fleet, of 1852. of American Whalers, it is now ascertained, comprisca not Jess than two hundred and eighty six ships. This number exceeds that of any previous year except in 1846, when the fleet consisted of 292 ships. &8a@y The Evening Journal has the following items: New Hay, baled with wire, is for sale in the city at $60.per ton. The Fire Alarm yesterday afternoon was occasioned by letting off a fire annibilator at the corner of Battery and Pacific streets. An immense cloud of smoke arose, ahd then the ery of “fire.” A little common sense hereafter on the part of the managers of the ’nihilat'em would do them no discredit, and would be no great inconvenience to the city. Mvp Scoor.—One of these machines, very sitnilar to the steam paddy, is employed in scooping up the mud from a slip near Cunningham's Wharf.
