THE DAILY DISPATCH.THURSDAY MORNINO, SEPTEMBER 14,18f»4

Spaih.?The Pari* correspondent of theNewYork Herald, under date ofAugust 24th,

\u25a0ays:"The accounts from Spain are of the mostatfavor-

able kind. Itaeema to Ik? evident thai tb# preaantgovernment cannot hold on. It italready bata roptof sand. The question is, what shape will next ap-pear out of tins political cauldron The moderadosare sinking every day;and this, in spite of th« ren-ege and protection of Lord Howden. the B','ti«« .Am-bassador, wbo la known, duriug O'Donjell s dimcal-tiaa, to have given him the shelter of hi*On the other baud, Mr. Soule. the American Mmter, Is unmistakably on the alart, and b* every ">'»>'»

ia hie power, is lending a hand to ths leaders ot therepublican party, which is daily increasing in num.tiers and influence. The change wh ch has occurredduring the last fortnight in public opinion. Is said to

be prodigious The progressists* are hourly_e*(P«a<J-ins into republicanism. At Madrid at this momentis concentruled the red party of all Europe, and thetest of thoirsuccess inSpain will be the lnipaaebmgutof the Queen Mother, with whose downfall will beBssociatsd that of the Bourbon dynasty. There is aaarret though not avowed struggle going on betwixtthe English and American influence, and Mr. oouleis working the (tame with bia whole soul."

But the London correspondent ofthe Her-ald says there appears to be a general opinion amongst the most intelligent minds ofEngland, that America must have Cuba?'The Leader newspaper," says this writer,"the organ of the high church and high intel-lect party in England, says that Spain'srightin Cuba is only that of a proprietor of landabout to be traversed by a railway--the rightof sale at a fair valuation."

Capital! But we should hardly have ex-pected such a common sense, practical andprogressive view of the subject from a greatEnglish conservative organ. The right of a

landed proprietor, in the way of a railroad,lo sell at a fair valuation! Well, we likethat. Get out of the way, Espartero, and letthe locomotive pass.

Crime in New York.?The Chief of Po-lice in the city of New York, George W.Matsell, in his semi annual communicationto Uie Mayor, states that there have been25,110 persons arrested in that cily for crimi-nal offences from the first of January to thenothof June, 1854, being an increase of 2874over the previous 6 months, and aft' increaseof 7397 over the corresponding period oftime in 1853. Of the whole number, says theChief, there were arrested by the reservecorps, 3985, (1035 of which were for the vio-

lation of the corporation ordinances,) makingthe whole number arrested for the violationof the ordinances, 1117, being an iucrease of1105 over the previous six months. Thislarge increase in the number of arrests, Mr.Matsell says, does not result from a corres-ponding increase of crime, but it arises fromthe increased activity and vigilance of thepolicemen. A comparison of the report ofarrests, he remarks, with the report of of-fences committed, will show at once thatthere has been & much greater per centageof arrests during the past six months thanduring the previous six months. He hasadded to his report a tabular statement, show-ing the number of persons accommodatedwith lodgings for the throe months endingJune 30, 1854, together with their place ofbirth, color, profession and degree of educa-tion. It appears from this report, that duringthe throe months there were accommodatedwith lodgings 5700 males and 3125 females,making 9125; of whom 2956 were married,and 0109 were single; 47 were under 10 yearsof nge, 1118 between 10 and 20, 2933 between20 and 30, 2418 between 30 and 10, 1555 be-tween 40 and 50, and 1021 fifty years andover,-1759 were born in tlio United States,CI 17 in Ireland, 269 in Scotland, 71G in Eng-land, 52 in France, 1010 in Germany, and 202

in otherplaces; 0680 hadtrades, and 2445 hadno trades, 6435 could read and write, 4fß

could read, and 2201 could neither read norwrite.

The total number ofmurders in New Yorkfor the last six months, were 44. We are gladto see that tho police in that city is becomlng more ellicient. New York is overrun bycriminals from all the world, and needs a vipilantand energetic police, more than anyother city on the face of the earth.

Guisi and Mauio.?lt is somewhat to thecredit of New York, that Grisi and Mario donot draw as lull houses nowas at their debut.The silver stream of Mario's liquid throat,aided by hispersonal beauty, and the incomparable warbling of Grisi, all backed andsustained by the mysterious stranger, do notlillthe boxes. We are pleased to perceive thatGrisi and Mario are in the pouts about theirill success, because, as they draw their pay,whether it draw anything else or not, it showsthat they are above mercenary considera-tions. It being all the same to them, in adollar aud cent point of view, whether theysing to full or empty houses, we are happy tolearn that the houses are not over crowded.When bankruptcy is stalking abroad, andthe necessaries of life are high, people oughtto deny themselves luxuries; and when tho

(juestion is, whether the ear shall be fed atthe expense of the bread basket, commonBense and an empty stomach will give a ne-gative aaswer with very hearty emphasis.

Grisi and Mario, however, cannot be ex-pected to make allowances for these things,and will consequently form a very poor opi-nion of American character and republicaninstitutions. People are very apt to judge acommunity by the measure of their own suc-oess in it. Consequently the singers will car-ry an evil report of us to Europe, and will al-ways remember us as "outside barbarians."'Nevertheless, we shall have the consolationof hearing the music in our pockets of thosedollars which Grisi and Mario will have fail-ed to abstract, and which, to an uncultivatedear, make more divine harmony than Grisi'g

mellifluousnotes, or even the music of thespheres.

Siace the above wa* written, wo see thatthe "Norma" of tirisi was well attended, andthe New York Herald hopes "to hear nomore of artistes throwing up their contracts,fromwant of encouragement." A mercurialpeople are the New Yorkers, and quite equalto the French or to the moon in fickleness.

LOCAL MATTERS.The Goochlaud Hukdkr.?In our yes-

terday's issue we gam the testimony of severalwitnesses, proving moat conclusively that ifRobertSmith was murdered, Mr. John Williamson couldnot by possibility have bad any hand in It; and wenow propose to show, by indisputable facta, that theunfortunate man came to bin death by disease, andnot by violence, aa noonecould have bad any mo-tive inkillinghim.

Mr. rimith waa engaged in a law suit againatBen-ton, Cottrell & Duvail, and expecting to have thecause heard, had \initod this city and secured theattendance ot two important witneases, who lefthere In the packet boat lor Cedar Point with him.?In the meantime be had bad Mr. Williamson sum-moned in hia behalf, and that gentlemanbeing invery bad hralth, (ailed to reach Ooochland Court-house until Tuesday morning,when he learned thatthe esse had been adjourned over until the nextterm, and therefore took steps to get back to Rich-mond as speedily as possible, leaving Mr. Smith inthe neighborhood o( the court house, where he re-mained an hour or two after Williamson had takena boat for Richmond.

While in Goochland we Mr. Smithwan oil a frolic When he came there, and that onSunday, the 3d inst, he started to Cedar Point, butmissed tbe path and was taken so ill that he calledat Mr. Miller's and laid down on the parch benchanhour or two, before he was able to get back tothe tavern,where Messrs. Powell and Pleasants »awhim in bed that afternoon. Daring tbe day, Monday, Smith continued to drink, and on Tuesdaymorning took several glasses ofgrog. Between thehours ot 11 and 12o'clock he left the court-houseforCedar Point, being yet very feeble, and the pre-sumptionIs, that utter taking the wrong path,wherehe dropped his cont, he continued to ramble about,until he became exhausted, when he laid down inthe pines, where he was found byPace onThursdaymorning, and there died. Smith was a large man,and if be bad been attacked and murdered, theground in the neighborhoodwould havegivensomeindications of a scuffle, which was not the ease.?Not even a twig was broken down. Besides, hadhe been set upon and killed, and his murderers haddesigned to conceal his body, they would havethrown it into an adjoining thicket, and not placedit in an open spot, where any one woulA see it inpassing. Had a scuffle ensued, his clothe» as wellas his person would have given indications of it ?

But nothingof this sort was visible. No marks ofviolence were to be seen; and as neither his appa-rel nor his pocket book were missing?he havingno money with him?it is fair to presume that hedied of cholera or some other disease. Themerefact that his neck was dislocated, asDr. Curd sup-posed, was no evidence of foul play, for that mightreadily have been caused by changing the positionof his head while examining the corpse.

Men are not Bpt to shed humanblood without amotive, and until some greater inducement can beshown for killing Smith, than has already beengiven, we shall adhere toour opinion that he diedfrom disease, and not otherwise.

Mr. John Williamson, one of our citi-zens, who was arrested last Monday, charged withthe murder of Robert Smith, is in very delicatehealth and has been for three months. As soon asthe charge was made known to our citizens, everyone who knew Mr. Williamson immediately pro-nounced him innocent; and they came to this con-clusion from the high character of the accused, hisamiable disposition and the want of any motive toadd the foul stain of murder to his character, whenhis health was such that he could barely hope to beagain restored to manhood's strength and vigor.?Mr. Anderson, the Justice who issued the warrantfor his arrest, on the oath ofJohnson Wells, Smith'sson-in law, was so perfectly satisfied of William-son's innocence betore his examination, that he didnot hesitate to express it to officer Tyler and othergentlemen. Under all these circumstances, Mr.Williamson should feel nomortification at what haspassed, and we know thathis friends wiß think nonethe less of himfor haviogbeen arrested and exam-ined. He has answered the law, undergone a lulland lair investigation,and satisfied the world thathis hands are not stained with the blood of his fel-low man. Disagreeable as the arrest must havebeen to Mr. Williamson, it were better to have beenso, than for him to have been suspected with nochance of proving his innocence.

Robbery.?George, slave to Col. SamuelS. Myers, was arraigned before the Mayor, yester-day,charged with forcibly entering the residence ofWilliam P. Wilkerson, on Monday morning last,and stealing therefrom $300 in gold pieces, eachpiece having two W's stamped on I*. several arti-cles of jewelry, and a variety of clothing Thisboy is thesame fellow charged with robbing Rob-ert Anderson, and is no doubt guilty, as some ofthelost property was found in bis possession. Georgewas arrested by Watchman Helslop, and wasn run-away at the time, having made his escape fromTate's jail in company with two ether negro men,all of whom wore making efforts to escape to afreeState. On being questionedabout the robbery, hestated that hereceived the articles found in his pos-session from Maria A. Fortune, a freewoman, whogave himtbe $.">0 to pay his travelling expenses.?One of the breast-pins stolen from Mrs. YVilkinson,was found in Maria A Fortune's trunk,but nothinghas yet been heard of the gold, silver spoons andclothing. The Mayor, after hearing the evidence,committed George and Maria to jail, to answer lorfelony, at the October term of the Hustings Court.

Hustings Court Evans,Hray, Winglield, Taylor and Binford, presiding.?The iirstcase was the examinationof Charles Pie-rnont, charged with stealinsa gold watch valued at$30 from Royal Blackburn on the 13th of Augustlast. (We have alreadygiven the evidence in thiscase.) The court, after hearing tho testimony, re-manded the prisoner for trial at the next term ofCircuit Court.

Levi Scroggins and Joseph C. Henry were nextexamined on the charge ol stealing$30 in moneyand a pairol pistols. Alter hearing the testimony,the prisoners were remanded for final trial at thenext term of the Circuit Court.

Daring Outrage.?For seven weekspast, as we learn from a gentleman residing in theneighborhood, a privateresidence in Sheiitown hasbeen stoned at night by some person or persona,and the occupants have been unable to discoverthe assailing party. Strangetales are afloat as tothe cause of these base attacks, which might bereadily put an end to, by the application of fewbuckshot. Why do notthe neighbors keep watchfor these dark operators and bring them to jus-tice f

Corn Crop.?We regret to find, on a latetrip to Goochland county, that the corn crop hasbeen less than half the usual average. At many ofthe farms between here and the Courthouse, thestalks are not much larger than well grown broom-straw.

Kunkel's Troupe are to give another oftheir atnusiuL' and instructive entertainmentsatMetropolitan Hall to-night. The large and fashion-able audiences that greet them each evening, is thebest guarantee of their great popularity, and thehigh esteem in which they are held bythe peopleofRichmond.

Children's FancyDrebs Soiree.?Next Friday evening will be u great time at theHuguenot Springs for the juveniles, when theirfancy dress soiree will take place. We see bythe advertisement that all the children who partici-pate are to wear fancy dresses

Tournament.?The seventh annual tour-nament and queen's ball, at the Huguenot Springs,will take place onthe i-'Oth of this month. Judgingfrom the list of manager* In the " Dispatch," theatt'air will be got up with spirit. On the followingevening the grand fancy drees ball will takeplace.

Fresh Fish are now plentiful in themarkets, and very nice, but the prices are unneces-sarily high.

Bound Over.?James H. Saunders andJohn F. Allport, charged with fighting in the firstmarket, were held to bail to keep the peace, and.Saunders being the aggressor, was sent on to theGrand Jury term oi the Hustings Court to answera bill ol indictment.

Ordered Off.?Betsy Lee, an emanci-pated slave, was put in the cage bythe watchmenlast Tuesday night for want of Yester-day morning she produced the will ot her master,giving her freedom at a certain time, and was dis-charged, with orders to he caught in the streets atnight no mote under the pain of punishment.

Discharged.? John Hewlett, slave toMrs. Fisher of Chesteifield, was arraigned beforethe Mayor, yesterday, to answer for whippingFrances Anderson, a free woman, in the street?John plead guilty to the charge, but stated as a rea-son for what [he Lad done, that Francis was thedaughter of his wite?that be had endeavored toraise her respectably? but that she had formed suchassociations as no womanshould have, and tobreakher of bad habits, be had chastised her. John waswarned against taking the law In his own hands iafuture, and on promising to do so nomore, he wasdischarged.

Ik a Scrape.?Charles Black, a whiteman, appeared before the Mayor, yesterday, to an-swer the charge of assaulting and beating Isaac, aslave, in the service olf Joseph Goode, oa the 11thinsL Owing to the aheence of witneases, the exam-ination was postponed until this morning.

Ths Dock Connection.?The advanta-ges of tbia connection are becoming more obviousevery day. A friend of our« inform? ua tliat he >?*

a cargo of platter trannferred from a vessel to acanal boat bound for l.ynchburjr, and having thecuriosity to inquire of the captain, what waa theprobable Having over the old mode of transhipinent, was informed that at least Bil waisaTed onthat singlecargo. This is but oneillustration ofoneof thebenefits which thqagriculturists of Virginiawill receive from tbia cmtipletion'of tho tidewaterconnection. .

It i» mast enlivening at this time to look at tneanimating spectacle which the dock presents, withits masts and flag* and buay stir, where a short timeago all was silent and solitary. The pedestrianIrom the lower partol the city, <m hi* waik up Mainstreet, seea at every coruer as he proceeds, themasts of vessels and the flutteringof gay streamersand other cheering proofs that we have now ampleaccommodations for the shipping that vi«its thiflport It isclieering in the highestdegree to seethewhite-winged messengers ol commerce nestlingasit were in the very heart ot the city, and to hearthe yo-heave yo of the mariners, that inspiringmu-sic of true progress, which cheers men to noblerstruggles and mightier results than were ever ac-complished by the moat thrilling melodies of thebattle-tield.

Taking a stroll a few morningasince to the beau-tiful eminence near Capt. I.ibby's, we were struckwith the generalair of life and activity both in theship dock and the river. Several large sea-goingsteamers were lying at Rocketts, sail vessels, fromthe tall ship to the small schooner, extended fromthe same point nearlyup to a point opposite the OldMarket, while in the river below was a small fleetol sailing vessels, bearing off the rich productionsof Virginia to other climes. It waa a sight whichdidour heart good. It spoke well for Virginia; itspoke well for Richmond. A more beautiful view,considered merelyin the landscape line, than theJames River irom the hill near Capt. Libby's, isnotto be found on this continent, and it by no meansdetracts from its loveliness, that, instead ot a splen-did solitude, it is becoming a great highway fortrade and commerce, and quickening to new lifethe marts of trade, as well the green banks that lineIts romantic shores.

Importationof Sai.t.?The PetersburgExpress states that the Peruvian ship Petrnnilla,Teil, master, arrived on Sunday in James River,from Liverpool, with 800 tons of Salt for Peters-burg and Richmond. Passage in fifty eight days?experienced heavy weather.

Mechanics' Association. ?Members whohave not paid their dues and received their certifi-cates of membership, are requested to call on theRecording Secretary, at the Dispatch office, andmake payment at their earliest convenience. Thosewho have not jet handed in their names, should doso at once. The Institute's Committees are makingstrenuous efforts to open a reading room, and toget up a fair byth« first of November, and in orderto succeed they must have money. Junior mem-bers can also obtain certificates in the same way.

Locked Up.?Frances Anderson, a freenegress ol rjueationible reputation, and an associateof the notorious Maria Fortune, was committed toprison yesterday, byorder of the Mayor, to bebroughtbefore himagain on Friday next. Franceshas some knowlecfee of the robbery of Messrs.Wilkinson and Anderson, and if she does not tu-nState's evidence, m«y be brought in for her share ofpunishment.

NEW SPECIAL WOTICBB.

Messrs. Editors?Tn your paper of the |I2tb inst., appeared apublic notice trotn 'A Rich-mond Democrat," asking tha Democracy of R ch-mond If they would .abroit to the_

appointment fcytheSecretary of the Treasury, of Mr. A kybroek aesuperintetdeetof ths erection of ths U. S CustomHouse about to be built in our c'ty- Hia objections10 tbe apaoiotment are : That Mr. L is of foreignbirth,notaclllzen of Richmond, if iudeed one oftneeoaotry. His lame and ungenerous objectijas are,inoar opinion, oneof tbe strongest arguments in fa-voiof tbe appointment,as also Mr L himself. If.dnrlng bis short residence in Richmond, Mr. L.'sgentlemanlydeportment hte been such ae tj com-mand tberespect an 4 win for him the friendship ofprominent and influential men, and competentjudges; and b !e unequalledskill hss so far manifestedItself as to obtain for him the strongest recomuieda-lions in opposition toall other candidates, includingluitim In the name of justice, we say, let his ap-pointment rest in reace,or what would eeem bet-ter, congntu'ate ourselvei in the selection of o«iewekiiuto so competent to tbs undertaking, and whowill r.-flect credit upon himself and his work. Rich-mond may justly coLsider herself as already tbedebtorof Mr. for the vaiioui ouumenUhis g«nius hss designed, that sre now being rearedproud monumenfs of his ski.'l, decorating herstreets.

We suspect the writer a disippointed -'Know No-thing" enthusiast, writhing under the pain ot de-feat; disconcerted at tbe impotent influence of hissect, and trembling at their meagre prospects diico-vered by the weakness of tbe full weight of thaircreed acting on the administration.We would ask a "Democrat" (?) if he wonld notsell Mr. L -flndO of merchandise; or if ha would notbuy that amount of him, in preference to a native,if he could make So<> difference by the purchase??Can he answer no) Then why not allow govern-ment the same advantage.

We wonder if the "Democrat" would give fivecents to a foreigner, made by his crced a beggar, tobuy liim breed? Or does he advocate the turning ofthe tide of emigration, and refute foreigners a land-ing on our slioret?

Respectfully, sirs, yours.It *»1R PMV DEMOCRATS.Notice.?The first Monthly Meeting of
