Paris was plunged into profound consternation on Saturday evening, by the report that the Archbishop of Paris, whilst officiating in the church of St. Etienne-du-Ment, had been murdered by a priest. At first no one could believe in the reality of so awful a crime, committed in such a ony by such a band; but it was soon ascertained, lamentable to relate, that the sad intelligence was only too true. The following is a detailed account of this dreadful crime : Saturday was the fete of St, Genevieve, and the Archbishop went to church according toan announcement, to preside over the opening of the annual neuvaine in honor of the saint who is patroness of the city of Paris. After er and after a sermon was preached by Mgr.cariere, Bishop of La Basse-Terre, procession was formed and paraded around the church in the custo way, the Archbishop in his robes walking at the head of the lady patronesses of St, Genevieve. . Just as the Archbishop arrived opposite the outer door, and was about to turn up the nave, a man advanced towards him from the crowd of spectators, atid removing the prelate’s cope with his left hand, plunged with great force with his right band. a large Catalan knife into the prelate’s breast, near the heart, exclaiming as he did so, “down with the goddess!’? (A bas la deesse.) The Archbishop fell back two steps, cried out, “Ah, le malheureux !”’ staggered and fell into the arms of the priests who surrounded him, The wounded prelate moaned two or three times as if in great suffering, and was the moment after bathed in the blood which flowed from the wound. He was immediately conveyed into the vestry and medical assistance sent for; but all human aid was found to be useless, as he expired almost immediately. The fatal blow was struck with such extraordinary rapidity that it was impossible to prevent it, The assassin, a young man of about thirty years of age, dressed in dark colored clothes, made no attempt to escape, and was immediately seized; he held at that moment the knife, from which the blood was dropping, still inthe hand. Just before the venerable prelate breathed his last, the Abbe Surat, the vicar-general, who was close to him, gave him absolution. The assassin was conveyed to the marie of the 12th arrondissement, and M. Moignon, substitute of the Procureur Imperial, and M, Treilhard, examining magistrate, were immediately summoned and commenced an interrogatory. M. Corduin, Procurer Imperial, and M. Pietre, Prefect of Police, subsequently interrogated him also. From what he said it appears that he is a priest of the diocese of Meaux, named Verges. He had been four or five times interdicted for misconduct, and some months back was again ma of the Immaculate Conception. In November last he displayed great zeal in defending a woman who was tried at Melun for poonlng her husband, and though she was convicted of . the crime, and condemned to bard labor for life, he printed a pamphlet declaring that she was innocent, and casting the grossest imputations on the judges and the public prosecutor. The pamphlet was seized by the authorities before it could be distributed, and it caused a new complaint against him to his bishop. A little later he uttered menaces against a respected clergyman of the diocese of Paris, who had done him many kindnesses; and the clergyman deemed it necessary to make representation to the police. On the 24th of December, the man came to Paris, and took up his residence at a hotel, No.2 Rue Racine. He . Was accustomed to days in the public libraries; and even on Saturday he went to one as usual. He endeavored to obtain an appointment in the diocese of Paris, but it was notified to him that the Archbishop would not grant him one, On hearing that, he appears to have projected the death of the prelate, and he purchased for the purpose a knife at the shop ofa cutler in the Rue Dauphine. After he had stated the previous facts, he was . asked if he had stabbed the Archbishop more than once, and he answered, “No, I only give him one stab, for 1 struck in the heart, and knew the blow was mortal.” “Why,” he was asked, “did you ery ‘down with the goddess !’ when you struck the fatal blow?’ ‘Because I do not believe in the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, against which I have preached from the pulpit ; and I wished to protest once more against the impious doctrine.’ “Why did you commitso grave a crime?’ “Because I was interdicted, and because the Archbishop had declared that the interdiction would not be removed.” He then added, after a pause, “A priest cannot be allowed to die of hunger.” He admitted that he had gone to the church with the premeditated intention of killing the Archbishop; and he then several times cried, with some violence, “No goddess! no goddess !’’ One of the gentlemen who interrogated him remarked that the crime which he had committed was one of frightful enormity, ‘“Yes,’’ he exclaimed, “it ig frightful !’’ and then tears fell from his eyes. He begged for a New Testament, and said, “I shall have great need of it during the night.’’ Whe assassin replied to the questions put to him with calmness, and only reign birdy itation when he referred to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. His features are fall of expression. In the course of the evening, he was conveyed to the Conciegerie, and a turnkey was placed with him in his cell. On examining his dress some printed papers were found fastened in his coat. These papers were writings against the Immaculate Conception, and against the Archbishop in connection with it. TeLecraPus Moutir.y Fast.—There is a wire from Calais to Dover, under the channel; one from Ostend to Dover under the German ocean; one from Dublin to Liverpool; Vienna and Sebastapol are linked; the Ionian Isles are next ear to be wired fast to Greece; Algeria is to be fastened to France, Malta to England, and Egypt to Constantinople. The London telegraph operator, in 1858, will hold in his hand wires running to the four quarters of the globe, as easily as a coachman gathers up the reins of a four-in-hand. Fata Acciwent.—A. terrible tragedy occurred at Baltimore on Wednesday, Jan. 28th. A druggist filled a prescription ordered by Arnold, a German physician, for a child. The child took the medicine and died immediately. Arnold took the remainder of the medicine to the druggist, and told him he had made a fatal mistake. The druggist presisted that the medicine was right, and to show his confidence in his correctness he swallowed a portion himself. He was immediately attacked by horrible convulsions, and died in five minutes, The doctor, who merely tasted the preparation, and spit it from his mouth, was also attacked, and with difficulty saved. The affair created great excitement. The druggist had mixed cyanuret of potassium with lemon-juice, developing enough prussic acid In the preparation to have killed three hundred people. Tax Loypoy Times.—A rich Frenchman, M. Milland, who has recently purchased the Paris Presse, had an idea of buying the London Times. He wrote to the proprietor on the subject, and received the following reply: “Monsieur: Anchor in the Thames with three ships loaded with gold, and then it may not be impossible for us to enter upon the discussion of the preliminaries,” THE NEVADA DEM( A Marvelous Story, The Lockport, N. Y. Republic, has the following, which comes under the head of “‘marvelvus, said if true:” About three years ago, a girl was walking on . the beach of the lake, north of this place, with . dream of the previous night, in which it was re. vealed to her that she should find a large sum . of mouey upon the shore. The young man was . to have half for assisting her in the search, Di. rectly they came to a dead body, which from its . appearance, and the size of the head, (nearly as . large as a bushel basket) had evidently been in the water some time. At the sight they both fainted, but soon recovered, and venturingjto examine it, discovered around it a belt containing a large package of money in bills—this they counted and found the amount as stated. They buried the body to prevent discovery, and also the money, which they agreed not to disturb for three weeks. At the expiration of the time the young man returned to the place ; the money was missing. His companion acknowledged she had taken it, and would take care of it until he was twenty, which would be in three years. As the time has expired, he demands his half, which she answers by denying the whole statement, The young man tells a friend, it spreads like wildfire. Report says, a large company of men armed with spades and shovels, are to-day looking for the bones of the burried stranger. Flogging a Witch to Death. We find the following singular story in the Brownsville (Texas) Flag. The transaction is to have occurreé about two months ago : Tt seems thata young lady of Matamoras was . taken sick, and an old lady n the neighborhood . reported to have some skill in the virtue of a young man, to whom she related a wonderful . herbs, was solicited to visit and administer to. of 7 the patient. From some cause or other, the old . lady failed to attend, and suspicious reports . were circulated that the old lady had bewitched . the young one. The authorities were petitioned to compel the attendance of the old. one. Officers were sent to take her before her supposed victim, and these miserably ignorant wretches repaired to her domicil and could not find her at home, but found instead a suspicious looking black cat. After several efforts, however they found the old woman at home instead of her cat, and she was taken into the presence of the invalid. But her herbs failed to restore . the sick to health, .and the meddlesome. black . cat remtiog in following its owner. and being); by the neighbors found in the room of the in-. valid instead of her mistress, fixed the opinion fast in the minds of these ignorant people that the old woman and the black cat were one and e same person; that she, being a witch, could take the form of the cat and assume her own shape at will—that the invalid was a victim to her diabolical art, With these convictions, it is said, they sought out the unfortunate old creature, and actually tied her up, and with thongs cruelly flogged her to death as a witch. In justice to the civil authorities of MatamoThe excitement has been very much increased by the fact that a propeller was wrecked three years ago, and that a gentleman, supposed to be a Spaniard, a stranger to the passengers who were saved, was lost. Some parties, formerly rather hard up, report says, have been flush of late, speculating very largely in real estate and making a great show generly. . ' Later.—We just learn that bones answering the fact of the burial, have been discovered in the woods, about a mile from the beach, of the Committee on Territories, to whom were referred the petition of the citizens of Carson Valley, Utah Territory, praying for the annexation of that portion of the Territory to the State of California: That it appears that the petitioners are situaentirely with the State of California, and that they are not Mormons and do not wish to be. They represent that the territorial laws are not . administered with justic, but that those who are . not Mormons, and not “zealoust affected’ towards that faith, are subjected to gross persecutions, by which they are often impoverished, and ; that the will and fannaticism of the leading el. ders bear heavily upon the ‘Gentile minority” . in the Territory of Utah. The petition of the . ladies represents that while there are but three or four Mormon families in the Valley, yet Eldcr Orson Hyde is made the Probate Judge of their county, and that be brings among them one of his “spiritual wives,’’ whom they regard as no better than the ‘‘scarlet ge 4 that the Judge introduces her as his wife, that they will associate with her; but that they look with disgust upon the prospect of raising up theirdaugh. ters among such associates, and they ardently desire that their homes in their pleasant valley . shall not be “defiled”? by the “horrible fannaticism and deception” of Mormonism. To what extent the evils complained of by the . petitionsrs of Carson Valley exist, the Committee have little accurate information; but it is notorious that similar grievances have been . published as prevalent in other portions of Utah; . and if they exist in Carson Valley, which is . scarcely to be doubted, it may fairly be presum. ed that their force and offensiveness is not di. minished where the sway of the Mormon elders . is supported by an overwhelming majority, and where the eclesiastial leaders have the unlimited control over the political, civil and religious action of their devotees, To grant the prayer of the petitioners, or in . other words, to pass the bill ‘to change the east. ern boundary of the State of California,’ would only extripate a small portion of the evil complained of. It appears to your Committee that some measuse of wider scope is necessary to ef. fect a radical cure of the moral and political pestilence which makes Utah the seandal of the American people. Such a measure is now on the calendar—the bill for ‘‘the prevention and unishment of poligomy,’’and there is no legisation more earnestly demanded, Furthermore, the State of California is alrea. dy too large, and should not, in the opinon of . the Committee, be made still more unwieldy by . a further extension of its boundaries, We therefore report the bill to the House with the recommendation that it do not pass. . Rerurn to THe Mixistry.—Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, of Alabama, was formerly rather a prominent member of Congress, but previous to his election he was a Methodist preacher. At, the late session of the Alabama Conferance of the Methodist Episcopal Church, he announced . his intention of joining the ministry again. He . said on the occasion, referring to his absence . from that calling : “At home and abroad, in my solitary journeyings, or standing in the palaces of kings, I have never forgotten my early vows, I have seen the beginning and the end of earthly greatness. Intimately associated witr some of the . first living statesmen of this age and country, I have seen them pass away from this earth. Sir, . I know the vanity of earthly things. I come, . having on all occasions preserved my self-respect, but I desire to achieve somewhat that will enable me, when this world burns up, to be recognized Py the Great Head of the church as a friend of Christ, and to take my place, however humble, among the martyrs and saints who have loved and served Him on earth. Tue New Barris Minister,—Lord Napier has been appointed Minister to Washington. Re_ specting him, the London Times says: By his previous career he would appear to be admirably fitted for any diplomatic appoint. ment inthe gift of the crown, save only the . mission, to Washington, He has been well . taught; He has practiced the craft of diplomacy , in Vienna, Teheran, Constantinople, Naples, St. Petersburg, and again at Constantinople. He is, therefore, well adapted te represent his country in the Hast or at any of the despotic . and military courts of Continental Europe. The very assiduity, however, with which he has labored in his vocation at such posts, proves that he has never had time to gain an insight into the working of free institutions. He has now to complete bis education at Washington. A better choice might have been made, but certainly many a worse one, as diplomatists go. It is not our wish to cavil at the man, for he enjoys a very high reputation for capacity; but we object to the system. A Goop Hir.—Gen. Duff Green has announced 4, forthcoming work under the title of ‘Recollections of 4 Washington Politician, who was thirty years out of the U. S.Senate.’’ The General is an able writer, and will make an interesting volume. The object of the book is supposed Carson Vatiry.—The following is the report . ted eight hundred miles from Salt Lake City ; . that their business and commercial relations are ras, we are happy to state that they were not a. party to the tragic part of the singular transac. tion, and that they were prompt in arresting the actors, Panruer Figutr.—A few evenings since as . Mr. Wm. Pate, well known in these parts asa Kickapoo Ranger, was meandering the crooked trail from this town to Port William, he was halted by a respectable looking footpad, in the shape of a full grown male pather, and requested to “stand and deliver.’’? Mr. Pate objected to the surley manner in which the demand was made, and informed his tiger-like majesty that his property, all told, consisted of an empty bottle and a . bowie-knife, both of which he stood in need of, and, as he was in a hurry, he would be obliged oi stint ofe% : tre 0] sf oe ils i London aginst the . ails in Pyiockd tour which the Atlantic oa oh Con pany has been en and exclusive machinery with fi c itis ogged, and ther company is being organized with the intention going direct to the shoresof the United States, instead of ing through nial possessions, his will place Hgland and America on an equal footing in a po ot of view, and it is hoped that bo ‘ae gohan. ment and the people of the United States will give the new company the best support. . .

The President is left without the power of ratification. Negotiations must be re-opened; and as we enter upon them with augmen' claims, and a repudiation of rights which the British government has all along inslsted upon, the prospect of accommodation is more-remote than ever. ; New Fieip ror Missronartes.—A seandalou paragraph is going the rounds of the Eastern papers, to the effect that in Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri, the late inauguration of Gov. Polk was delayed several hours, in consenence of there being no Bibles to be had in the town; and if a stray copy had not been found in the penitentiary, the inauguration might have been actually postponed until a copy could be procured from St. Louis, , CuarirasLeé Contrisetions In New Yore-— The N.

As that was not what Mr. Panther desired, and as he showed his teeth and gradually insinuated himself towards Mr, Pate, Mr. Pate waxed wrothy and let Mr. Panther have the bottle over his pate, with . all the nervous energy of astrongarm. That act being considered by Panther as a declaration of war, he closed in on our gallant Pate, who being some himself, and nothing loth for an engagement now that his blood was up, seized his . belligerent opponent by the scalp-lock with his . left hand, while he applied the shining steel with . the right, to the sleek vest of his antagonist. . In a few moments Panther had as beautiful a “slashed jerkin’? &s one would wish to see. while Pate, still in the ascendency, stood by mi. nus coat, hat, breeches, some hide, part of an . ear, and considerable hair; actually nothing left but hat and bowie knife, But our friend was victor, andnothing daunted he shouldered his . enemy and carried him home, where he was . measured by several neighbors, one of whom has kindly furnished us with the full measurement of the animal from tip to tip, which was seven . feet three inches.—Kickapoo (Kansas) Register.

Derinite.—A “special dispatch” to a New York paper, from Washington, reads as follows: “Mr, Buchanan may be here about the 15th of January, or he ho postpone the time of coming for a fortnight longer, Both contingencies are probable from his recent declarations, ‘and either event may happen according to the development of circumstances,” Ratner Coo.—A large body of men have cut a passage through the ice in Boston harbor to let the British steamer out.

Covtp nor Sranp 1v.—Dr, Livingstone, the great African traveler, brought a native from the interior to the coast.

While Richardson had gone for the hot water, Mr. Stcirnfeldt next door to him, was hard at work; he pulled very vehemently upon his cigar, and putting bis mouth down discharged a hot stream of smoke into the mass, but in vain; he pulled again at the cigar till he got a bright glow of fire on its end, and applied it like a match. There was a slight sizzle, but no explosion. Various were the devices used on this occasion, but none so successful as the tea-kettle. The question as the modus operandi of this nefarious trick, and by whom perpetrated, is so freely discussed abroad that the debating clubs will hardly take it up. Four Monrus Passace Across THE ATLANTIC. —The British brig Princess Louise, regarding which fears had been entertained that she had been lost during the late gale, arrived at New York after a perilous passage of one hundred and twenty-six days, from Cadiz. The vessel encountered very severe weather, having been blown off the coast and dismasted twice. Three of the men were frost bitten, and the remainder were hardly capable of managing the vessel, so . intense was the cold which accompanied the gale. They were then out over seventy days, and becoming short of provisions, the men were compelled to live on an ounce of biscuit perday. It was also discovered that the water had all given out, so a barrel of wine was used asa substitute. “We used it,’ said the mate, ‘just to keep the life in us, for we were nearly all dead with fatigue and exhaustion, from thirst and hunger.” After many days of weary labor they succeeded in reaching the coast again, but again they encountered a northwester, and again the vessel was dismantled. When the vessel arrived at New York she had been out of provisions, water fuel and light over forty days. A Lapy Arvoat.—After all, hoops are not without their advantages.

Paris was plunged into profound consternation on Saturday evening, by the report that the Archbishop of Paris, whilst officiating in the church of St. Etienne-du-Ment, had been murdered by a priest. At first no one could believe in the reality of so awful a crime, committed in such a ony by such a band; but it was soon ascertained, lamentable to relate, that the sad intelligence was only too true. The following is a detailed account of this dreadful crime : Saturday was the fete of St, Genevieve, and the Archbishop went to church according toan announcement, to preside over the opening of the annual neuvaine in honor of the saint who is patroness of the city of Paris. After er and after a sermon was preached by Mgr.cariere, Bishop of La Basse-Terre, procession was formed and paraded around the church in the custo way, the Archbishop in his robes walking at the head of the lady patronesses of St, Genevieve. . Just as the Archbishop arrived opposite the outer door, and was about to turn up the nave, a man advanced towards him from the crowd of spectators, atid removing the prelate’s cope with his left hand, plunged with great force with his right band. a large Catalan knife into the prelate’s breast, near the heart, exclaiming as he did so, “down with the goddess!’? (A bas la deesse.) The Archbishop fell back two steps, cried out, “Ah, le malheureux !”’ staggered and fell into the arms of the priests who surrounded him, The wounded prelate moaned two or three times as if in great suffering, and was the moment after bathed in the blood which flowed from the wound. He was immediately conveyed into the vestry and medical assistance sent for; but all human aid was found to be useless, as he expired almost immediately. The fatal blow was struck with such extraordinary rapidity that it was impossible to prevent it, The assassin, a young man of about thirty years of age, dressed in dark colored clothes, made no attempt to escape, and was immediately seized; he held at that moment the knife, from which the blood was dropping, still inthe hand. Just before the venerable prelate breathed his last, the Abbe Surat, the vicar-general, who was close to him, gave him absolution. The assassin was conveyed to the marie of the 12th arrondissement, and M. Moignon, substitute of the Procureur Imperial, and M, Treilhard, examining magistrate, were immediately summoned and commenced an interrogatory. M. Corduin, Procurer Imperial, and M. Pietre, Prefect of Police, subsequently interrogated him also. From what he said it appears that he is a priest of the diocese of Meaux, named Verges. He had been four or five times interdicted for misconduct, and some months back was again ma of the Immaculate Conception. In November last he displayed great zeal in defending a woman who was tried at Melun for poonlng her husband, and though she was convicted of . the crime, and condemned to bard labor for life, he printed a pamphlet declaring that she was innocent, and casting the grossest imputations on the judges and the public prosecutor. The pamphlet was seized by the authorities before it could be distributed, and it caused a new complaint against him to his bishop. A little later he uttered menaces against a respected clergyman of the diocese of Paris, who had done him many kindnesses; and the clergyman deemed it necessary to make representation to the police. On the 24th of December, the man came to Paris, and took up his residence at a hotel, No.2 Rue Racine. He . Was accustomed to days in the public libraries; and even on Saturday he went to one as usual. He endeavored to obtain an appointment in the diocese of Paris, but it was notified to him that the Archbishop would not grant him one, On hearing that, he appears to have projected the death of the prelate, and he purchased for the purpose a knife at the shop ofa cutler in the Rue Dauphine. After he had stated the previous facts, he was . asked if he had stabbed the Archbishop more than once, and he answered, “No, I only give him one stab, for 1 struck in the heart, and knew the blow was mortal.” “Why,” he was asked, “did you ery ‘down with the goddess !’ when you struck the fatal blow?’ ‘Because I do not believe in the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, against which I have preached from the pulpit ; and I wished to protest once more against the impious doctrine.’ “Why did you commitso grave a crime?’ “Because I was interdicted, and because the Archbishop had declared that the interdiction would not be removed.” He then added, after a pause, “A priest cannot be allowed to die of hunger.” He admitted that he had gone to the church with the premeditated intention of killing the Archbishop; and he then several times cried, with some violence, “No goddess! no goddess !’’ One of the gentlemen who interrogated him remarked that the crime which he had committed was one of frightful enormity, ‘“Yes,’’ he exclaimed, “it ig frightful !’’ and then tears fell from his eyes. He begged for a New Testament, and said, “I shall have great need of it during the night.’’ Whe assassin replied to the questions put to him with calmness, and only reign birdy itation when he referred to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. His features are fall of expression. In the course of the evening, he was conveyed to the Conciegerie, and a turnkey was placed with him in his cell. On examining his dress some printed papers were found fastened in his coat. These papers were writings against the Immaculate Conception, and against the Archbishop in connection with it. TeLecraPus Moutir.y Fast.—There is a wire from Calais to Dover, under the channel; one from Ostend to Dover under the German ocean; one from Dublin to Liverpool; Vienna and Sebastapol are linked; the Ionian Isles are next ear to be wired fast to Greece; Algeria is to be fastened to France, Malta to England, and Egypt to Constantinople. The London telegraph operator, in 1858, will hold in his hand wires running to the four quarters of the globe, as easily as a coachman gathers up the reins of a four-in-hand. Fata Acciwent.—A. terrible tragedy occurred at Baltimore on Wednesday, Jan. 28th. A druggist filled a prescription ordered by Arnold, a German physician, for a child. The child took the medicine and died immediately. Arnold took the remainder of the medicine to the druggist, and told him he had made a fatal mistake. The druggist presisted that the medicine was right, and to show his confidence in his correctness he swallowed a portion himself. He was immediately attacked by horrible convulsions, and died in five minutes, The doctor, who merely tasted the preparation, and spit it from his mouth, was also attacked, and with difficulty saved. The affair created great excitement. The druggist had mixed cyanuret of potassium with lemon-juice, developing enough prussic acid In the preparation to have killed three hundred people. Tax Loypoy Times.—A rich Frenchman, M. Milland, who has recently purchased the Paris

Presse, had an idea of buying the London Times. He wrote to the proprietor on the subject, and received the following reply: “Monsieur: Anchor in the Thames with three ships loaded with gold, and then it may not be impossible for us to enter upon the discussion of the preliminaries,” THE NEVADA DEM( A Marvelous Story, The Lockport, N. Y. Republic, has the following, which comes under the head of “‘marvelvus, said if true:” About three years ago, a girl was walking on . the beach of the lake, north of this place, with . dream of the previous night, in which it was re. vealed to her that she should find a large sum . of mouey upon the shore. The young man was . to have half for assisting her in the search, Di. rectly they came to a dead body, which from its . appearance, and the size of the head, (nearly as . large as a bushel basket) had evidently been in the water some time. At the sight they both fainted, but soon recovered, and venturingjto examine it, discovered around it a belt containing a large package of money in bills—this they counted and found the amount as stated. They buried the body to prevent discovery, and also the money, which they agreed not to disturb for three weeks. At the expiration of the time the young man returned to the place ; the money was missing. His companion acknowledged she had taken it, and would take care of it until he was twenty, which would be in three years. As the time has expired, he demands his half, which she answers by denying the whole statement, The young man tells a friend, it spreads like wildfire. Report says, a large company of men armed with spades and shovels, are to-day looking for the bones of the burried stranger. Flogging a Witch to Death. We find the following singular story in the Brownsville (Texas) Flag. The transaction is to have occurreé about two months ago : Tt seems thata young lady of Matamoras was . taken sick, and an old lady n the neighborhood . reported to have some skill in the virtue of a young man, to whom she related a wonderful . herbs, was solicited to visit and administer to. of 7 the patient. From some cause or other, the old . lady failed to attend, and suspicious reports . were circulated that the old lady had bewitched . the young one. The authorities were petitioned to compel the attendance of the old. one. Officers were sent to take her before her supposed victim, and these miserably ignorant wretches repaired to her domicil and could not find her at home, but found instead a suspicious looking black cat. After several efforts, however they found the old woman at home instead of her cat, and she was taken into the presence of the invalid. But her herbs failed to restore . the sick to health, .and the meddlesome. black . cat remtiog in following its owner. and being); by the neighbors found in the room of the in-. valid instead of her mistress, fixed the opinion fast in the minds of these ignorant people that the old woman and the black cat were one and e same person; that she, being a witch, could take the form of the cat and assume her own shape at will—that the invalid was a victim to her diabolical art, With these convictions, it is said, they sought out the unfortunate old creature, and actually tied her up, and with thongs cruelly flogged her to death as a witch. In justice to the civil authorities of MatamoThe excitement has been very much increased by the fact that a propeller was wrecked three years ago, and that a gentleman, supposed to be a Spaniard, a stranger to the passengers who were saved, was lost. Some parties, formerly rather hard up, report says, have been flush of late, speculating very largely in real estate and making a great show generly. . ' Later.—We just learn that bones answering the fact of the burial, have been discovered in the woods, about a mile from the beach, of the Committee on Territories, to whom were referred the petition of the citizens of Carson Valley, Utah Territory, praying for the annexation of that portion of the Territory to the State of California: That it appears that the petitioners are situaentirely with the State of California, and that they are not Mormons and do not wish to be. They represent that the territorial laws are not . administered with justic, but that those who are . not Mormons, and not “zealoust affected’ towards that faith, are subjected to gross persecutions, by which they are often impoverished, and ; that the will and fannaticism of the leading el. ders bear heavily upon the ‘Gentile minority” . in the Territory of Utah. The petition of the . ladies represents that while there are but three or four Mormon families in the Valley, yet Eldcr Orson Hyde is made the Probate Judge of their county, and that be brings among them one of his “spiritual wives,’’ whom they regard as no better than the ‘‘scarlet ge 4 that the Judge introduces her as his wife, that they will associate with her; but that they look with disgust upon the prospect of raising up theirdaugh. ters among such associates, and they ardently desire that their homes in their pleasant valley . shall not be “defiled”? by the “horrible fannaticism and deception” of Mormonism. To what extent the evils complained of by the . petitionsrs of Carson Valley exist, the Committee have little accurate information; but it is notorious that similar grievances have been . published as prevalent in other portions of Utah; . and if they exist in Carson Valley, which is . scarcely to be doubted, it may fairly be presum. ed that their force and offensiveness is not di. minished where the sway of the Mormon elders . is supported by an overwhelming majority, and where the eclesiastial leaders have the unlimited control over the political, civil and religious action of their devotees, To grant the prayer of the petitioners, or in . other words, to pass the bill ‘to change the east. ern boundary of the State of California,’ would only extripate a small portion of the evil complained of. It appears to your Committee that some measuse of wider scope is necessary to ef. fect a radical cure of the moral and political pestilence which makes Utah the seandal of the American people. Such a measure is now on the calendar—the bill for ‘‘the prevention and unishment of poligomy,’’and there is no legisation more earnestly demanded, Furthermore, the State of California is alrea. dy too large, and should not, in the opinon of . the Committee, be made still more unwieldy by . a further extension of its boundaries, We therefore report the bill to the House with the recommendation that it do not pass. . Rerurn to THe Mixistry.—Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, of Alabama, was formerly rather a prominent member of Congress, but previous to his election he was a Methodist preacher. At, the late session of the Alabama Conferance of the Methodist Episcopal Church, he announced . his intention of joining the ministry again. He . said on the occasion, referring to his absence . from that calling : “At home and abroad, in my solitary journeyings, or standing in the palaces of kings, I have never forgotten my early vows, I have seen the beginning and the end of earthly greatness. Intimately associated witr some of the . first living statesmen of this age and country, I have seen them pass away from this earth. Sir, . I know the vanity of earthly things. I come, . having on all occasions preserved my self-respect, but I desire to achieve somewhat that will enable me, when this world burns up, to be recognized Py the Great Head of the church as a friend of Christ, and to take my place, however humble, among the martyrs and saints who have loved and served Him on earth. Tue New Barris Minister,—Lord Napier has been appointed Minister to Washington. Re_ specting him, the London Times says: By his previous career he would appear to be admirably fitted for any diplomatic appoint. ment inthe gift of the crown, save only the . mission, to Washington, He has been well . taught; He has practiced the craft of diplomacy , in Vienna, Teheran, Constantinople, Naples, St. Petersburg, and again at Constantinople. He is, therefore, well adapted te represent his country in the Hast or at any of the despotic . and military courts of Continental Europe. The very assiduity, however, with which he has labored in his vocation at such posts, proves that he has never had time to gain an insight into the working of free institutions. He has now to complete bis education at Washington. A better choice might have been made, but certainly many a worse one, as diplomatists go. It is not our wish to cavil at the man, for he enjoys a very high reputation for capacity; but we object to the system. A Goop Hir.—Gen.

Mr. Wm.

Mr. Pate objected to the surley manner in which the demand was made, and informed his tiger-like majesty that his property, all told, consisted of an empty bottle and a . bowie-knife, both of which he stood in need of, and, as he was in a hurry, he would be obliged oi stint ofe% : tre 0] sf oe ils i London aginst the . ails in Pyiockd tour which the Atlantic oa oh Con pany has been en and exclusive machinery with fi c itis ogged, and ther company is being organized with the intention going direct to the shoresof the United States, instead of ing through nial possessions, his will place Hgland and America on an equal footing in a po ot of view, and it is hoped that bo ‘ae gohan. ment and the people of the United States will give the new company the best support. . ..

As that was not what Mr. Panther desired, and as he showed his teeth and gradually insinuated himself towards Mr, Pate, Mr. Pate waxed wrothy and let Mr. Panther have the bottle over his pate, with . all the nervous energy of astrongarm. That act being considered by Panther as a declaration of war, he closed in on our gallant Pate, who being some himself, and nothing loth for an engagement now that his blood was up, seized his . belligerent opponent by the scalp-lock with his . left hand, while he applied the shining steel with . the right, to the sleek vest of his antagonist. . In a few moments Panther had as beautiful a “slashed jerkin’? &s one would wish to see. while Pate, still in the ascendency, stood by mi. nus coat, hat, breeches, some hide, part of an . ear, and considerable hair; actually nothing left but hat and bowie knife, But our friend was victor, andnothing daunted he shouldered his . enemy and carried him home, where he was . measured by several neighbors, one of whom has kindly furnished us with the full measurement of the animal from tip to tip, which was seven . feet three inches.—Kickapoo (Kansas) Register.

Derinite.—A “special dispatch” to a New York paper, from Washington, reads as follows: “Mr, Buchanan may be here about the 15th of January, or he ho postpone the time of coming for a fortnight longer, Both contingencies are probable from his recent declarations, ‘and either event may happen according to the development of circumstances,” Ratner Coo.—A large body of men have cut a passage through the ice in Boston harbor to let the British steamer out.

Covtp nor Sranp 1v.—Dr, Livingstone, the great African traveler, brought a native from the interior to the coast.

While Richardson had gone for the hot water, Mr. Stcirnfeldt next door to him, was hard at work; he pulled very vehemently upon his cigar, and putting bis mouth down discharged a hot stream of smoke into the mass, but in vain; he pulled again at the cigar till he got a bright glow of fire on its end, and applied it like a match. There was a slight sizzle, but no explosion. Various were the devices used on this occasion, but none so successful as the tea-kettle. The question as the modus operandi of this nefarious trick, and by whom perpetrated, is so freely discussed abroad that the debating clubs will hardly take it up. Four Monrus Passace Across THE ATLANTIC. —The British brig Princess Louise, regarding which fears had been entertained that she had been lost during the late gale, arrived at New York after a perilous passage of one hundred and twenty-six days, from Cadiz. The vessel encountered very severe weather, having been blown off the coast and dismasted twice. Three of the men were frost bitten, and the remainder were hardly capable of managing the vessel, so . intense was the cold which accompanied the gale. They were then out over seventy days, and becoming short of provisions, the men were compelled to live on an ounce of biscuit perday. It was also discovered that the water had all given out, so a barrel of wine was used asa substitute. “We used it,’ said the mate, ‘just to keep the life in us, for we were nearly all dead with fatigue and exhaustion, from thirst and hunger.” After many days of weary labor they succeeded in reaching the coast again, but again they encountered a northwester, and again the vessel was dismantled. When the vessel arrived at New York she had been out of provisions, water fuel and light over forty days. A Lapy Arvoat.—After all, hoops are not without their advantages.
