'Uoiu'.irii anb Mcto. BALTIMORE, October 5, 1858. At the Stock Board to-day the transactions were exceedingly small, the only sale of Railroad shares bein" - shares of Baltimore and Ohio at $54% regu- lar way. closing about the same as yesterday at sss' i bid, $55% asked cash. After the Board sales took place of 400 shares at $55% cash, short time, and seller's option 60 days, and 55% buyer 50 days. For Northern Central $20% was bid, $20% asked, regular way, at the close, % lower than yesterday. Springfield Mining is held at $2.56, and Santa Clara Mining at $20% with sl9 bid. The only sale of Bank stock was 50 shares Franklin at sll%@sll%. Baltimore city G's 1890 are a trifle weaker, S9OO selling at 95%@98, and we note a sale of S2OO Bal- timore s's at 80. Northern Central 1885'3 are steady, with sales at 67%, the same as last rate. In Balti- more and Ohio Railroad bonds there was nothing doing; 1885's were held at 83 and 1875's at 85% with Bft offered. Fancy stocks at New York to-day advanced ma- terially, and the market closed firm. Erie im- proved 1%; New York Central 1%; Reading %; Cleveland and Toledo 1%; Rock Island %, and Michigan Southern %. Lacrosse and Milwaukee fell off %. The New York Tribune of to-day says: There is no remarkable feature in the Rank statement to-day; excepting the decrease of the specie line, which, although it was small, was unexpected, the general im- pression being that there would be an increase of quarter to half a million on the California receipt counted for three days. The general movement has been without interest, the decrease in loans and deposits con- tinuing but only to moderate extent. The loans fell off about _ half a million under the maturity of paper and the inability to use profitably the accumulating receipt*. The actual deposits show a decline of only about $200,000. This, however, in the face of the deposits of California gold, is as much as was an- ticipated. The Suffolk Rank of Boston has been drawing freely on its balance here, to maintain itself in the con- test going on with the New England Ranks, and this ac- counts for a considerable loss in deposits. The Rank bal- ances generally, as far as we can learn, have not been dis- turbed. The following is a onmpnrative statement of the condi- tion of the Banks of the City of New York for the week ending September 25 and October 2: Sept. 2ft. Oct. 2.

The Convention of delegates from German Societies in different States of the Union, met again on Monday morning in Pythagoras Hall. Mr. Schumacher, the president, opened the pro- ceedings with an address. Messrs. Robert Henning and Richard Unger, delegates from St. Louis, ap- peared and took their seats. Several spirited speeches, setting forth the wrongs which emigrants from Europe to this country suffered,"and urging the necessity of measures of protection, were made, and the dralt of a petition to Congress on the subject was adopted. The petition asks Congress to enact a law for the protection of female passen- gers from the outrages now so common; compelling the separation of the sexes on board of emigrant ships, except in the case of married couples?and obliging owners and masters of vessels to account tor and guaran- tee the safe delivery of property belonging to per- sons who may die on the passage. It was also re- solved that every emigrant ship carrying one hun- dred or more steerage passengers, should have a competent physician on board, able to prepare and compound the medicines required in treating cases of sickness. A communication was received from the Hon. John Cochrane, stating that at the next session of Congress he would advocate the passage of a law to effect the objects desired by the Conven- tion. At the evening session, Mr. Schumacher re- signed his position as President, and Mr. Kaufman, of the Xew York Society, was elected in his stead. After some further action, in promotion of the views of the Convention, it adjourned to meet yesterday morning. THE VIRGINIA CATTLE REGION. ? The Abingdon 1 'irginian, of the 2d inst., speaking of the bad pros- pect for the drovers in that section, says : We have exceedingly gloomy accounts from Eas- tern Virginia and the"Valley. The want of grass, the scarcity ot money, and the low price of beef, all stare the drovers in the face. We have been in- formed that last year's cattle, after being fattened for market, bring little ifany more than their cost. Consequently, not half the usual number will be driven. We have a letter now before us from a Russell drover, who is doing the best he can in the Valley, but expresses the fear that he will be com- pelled to return with his stock. lie says the most he has been offered is 2% cents. Forty-nine of the camels belonging to the United States are now at Campe Verde, sixty miles from San Antonio. Onlv one of those imported has died, while ten have been added by birth. These young American born camels thrive well, and promise to grow up equal in all respects to those imported. Notwithstanding the successful trial lately made by Captain Beale in his explorations across the continent, there are some officers of the army who doubt whether anything is to be gained by the use of camels. We hope, however, that ex- periments in their use will not long be confined to the armv officers, but that as the number increases they will pass into the bands of private owners.? -V. Y. Tribune. ALLEGHENY COCNTY.? The Cumberland Civilian says: The October term of Allegheny County Cir- cuit Court, begins on Monday next, the 11th inst. A large amount of business is entered on the docket, and it is thought the session will be continued about six weeks. The canal pump will be put in running order again this evening, so we are told by officers of the canal. This will materially raise the water in the canal from the pump down to the dam, but the greatest difficulty to boating is on the level next to Cumberlend which of course the pump cannot bene- fit. At last we have an admiral in the Navy.

CITY INTELLIGENCE. MARYLAND INSTITUTE EXHIBITION. ?The eleventh annual exhibition of the Maryland Institute com- menced last evening, the opening being inaugura- ted, in the presence of a vast concourse of our citi- zens, by a grand concert by the Independent Blues' Band,under the direction of Capt. Holland. From the time of the opening to the closing of the doors the spacious hall was thronged, and the gratifica- tion we heard expressed on all sides, attested that the pledge of those having it in charge, to render this exhibition a peculiarly interesting one, has been fully redeemed. Every room in the building that can be appropriated thereto is filled with works of almost every conceivable character of art. The charge of keeping order has been en- trusted to Messrs. Theodore Woodall and Francis 'f. McKinly, both of whom are experienced in such matters. The front room upon the second story has been appropriated to the uses of a refreshment saloon, and tastefully fitted up with that view by the Gil- mour Brothers, who will superiutend the same. They have on exhibition a work of wonderful skill in the way of a mammoth fruit cake. The base or first layer thereof is six feet in diameter and one foot thick, and the second layer four and a half feet in diameter, and of nearly the same thickness. This portion is tastefully decorated with roses and flowers of various kinds and every hue, made of sugar. The whole is surmounted with acupola orspiresix feet inheight, in imitation of that surmounting St. Alphonsus Church, and the whole formed of sugar. The cake and ornamental work is about eight, feet in height, and weighs 2,500 pounds. The Messrs. Gihnour yesterday morning celebrated their success in pre- paring this beautiful work, by handsomely entertain- ing a large company of those in charge of, and in attendance at the Fair, as exhibitors. The machinery department is well supplied, from manufacturers in every section of the country, and will be found exceedingly interesting. Although the motive power is ready'for use, it will require a few days more to put the entire machinery in run- ning order. A portion of it was started last even- ing. It is anticipated that all the goods on exibi- tion will be regularly arranged by this evening. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. ?Yesterday morning about ten o'clock, James Baldwin,residing on Fleet street, between Caroline and Spring.streets, was on his way to a pump for a bucket of water, when he was ap- proached in the rear by five men, one of whom struck him on the back part of the head with a hilly, inflictinga severe wound. He lay upon the ground in an unconscious state and remained so for some time after he had been car ied to his home.? The assault was entirely unprovoked, and the par- ties not satisfied with the injury they had inflicted upon the man proceeded to his residence, broke the front windows and threatened his family with vio- lence. Mr. Baldwin is not able to "give their names, but states that he can identify them by sight. A physician was called in who dressed the wound, but Mr. B. is now confined to bed from the effects of it. The same party earlier in the day at- tacked a German near the same place, beating him severely. X r o arrests were made. BURNING OK SCHOONER DUNKIRK. ?The schooner Dunkirk, engaged in running between this port and York river, took fire on Sunday last and was en- tirely destroyed. The lire originated from a quan tity of lime, which was stored in the bottom of the boat. Whilst the vessel was off a bar in South river, she sprung aleak and the water reaching the lime set it on fire, and all efforts to extinguish it were vain. Part of the cargo, consisting of 100 bags of guano and 4 kegs of powder, together with a portion of the rigging were saved. The Captain and crew were compelled to leave in the yawl boat. The cargo of the boat consisted of dry goods, 17 tons of guano, and five kegs of powder, and the Captain, who arrived in this city on Monday even- ing, states the loss to be $150,000. One of the kegs of powder exploded, which hastened the destruction of the vessel. She was owned by farmer's residing on York river, and on her last trip to the city, was consigned to Messrs. McConkey, Parr & Co. FAST DRIVING. ?On yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock a young man was arrested at the corner of South and Baltimore streets, by officers Maloney and Rote, for driving in a violent manner through the streets. When crossing the Gay street bridge, two ladies came near being seriously injured by the vehicle. There were two young men in, one of whom was standing up whippingthe horse as hard as he could, and officer Joshua Mitchell endeavored to overtake them, but they were too fast. When they were stopped one of them sprang from the wagon and escaped. The other was taken to the Station House, where he gave his name as Thomas Swann, of the 17th ward, but afterwards gave that of John Kelley. RUNAWAY. ?About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. Samuel Jordan, one ot the city letter carriers, entered the Fell's Point Saving Institution, leaving his horse and buggy in charge of a lad about thir- teen years of age. Shortly after his entering, the horse became frightened, and ran off. The boy en- deavored to use the reins, but failed to stop him, and in running down Broadway, the wheels struck against the curb corner of Canton avenue, over- turning the buggy, throwing out the boy, letters and newspapers. The horse was stopped at the corner of Alice Anna and Bethel streets, and the buggy was broken to pieces. The boy was not seriously injured. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ?A man named William Kal- tenback, who is engaged at the Baltimore Gas Works', met with an accident, yesterday morning, by which he may probably lose his life. He was handling a large glass cylinder, and by some means the cylinder fell upon him, cutting a large gash in his right arm. He was taken to his residence, on Hughes street near Williams, wherehe was attended by three physicians, but they could do nothing for him. During the afternoon Prof. X. R. Smith was called in and succeeded in taking up the artery about 4 o'clock. He still, however, entertains doubts of his recovery. CttAXGK OF PROFESSOBS. ?The Rev. John Early, S. J., has been transferred from the Presidency of Loyola College, of this city, to that of the Col- lege at Georgetown, D. C., and the Rev. William F. Clark, S.

J., late President of Georgetown College, has been appointed to preside over the Seminary at Washington. DRIVEN OFF. ?Yesterday, about noon, a lady named Mrs. Boyle, entered Dr. Fuller's church, corner of Paca and Saratoga streets, leaving her horse and wagon in front of the church. After a short absence she returned, but found that her con- veyance had been appropriated by another party. A young gentleman, a cousin of the lady's, saw a stranger driving the horse down Calvert street, recognized the animal, but was not aware at the time ot the manner in which the driver had gained possession of it. Late in the afternoon it was dis- covered in front of Dr. Frick's, on Charles street, and returned to the owner. ACCIDENT.? Mr. Wade, engineer of the steamer Potomac, on yesterday morning, while in the act of tightening a bolt on the connecting link of the safety valve had the thumb of his left hand badly crushed. Dr. Whitridge dressed the wound. CORRECTION. ?The announcement in the Ex- change several days since, of the resignation of Mr. John Yokle, a conductor on the Northern Cen- tral Railway, was erroneous, Mr. Yokle being en- gaged upon the trains as usual. ACCIDENT.?A stnail boy about twelve years of age, named Lucius Brown, was seriously injured at Mount Clare Station yesterday, while playing upon some cars. He was sitting between two cars with his feet hanging down, when the cars were pushed violentlytogether by the engine, which was at- tached, catching one of his legs and mashing it dreadfully. He was taken to his resilience and re- ceived surgical assistance. COUNCIL NOMINATIONS.? Messrs.

N 1 it A HE. ?The Savannah and Charleston line of steamers are now heavily ladened with mer- chandise for those cities and points beyond. The trade is much incommoded from the fact that ves- sels pit ing between this city and those ports are quarantined regularly on their return. Several days are thereby lost each trip. The business with the New I ork lines is very brisk. THE LAUNCH. The Messrs. Winans are progrcss- mg slowly in the efforts to launch their iron steam- er. Yesterday they succeeded in moving her some ten feet, and it was their intention to labor all last mght, with the hope that they would succeed in getting her afloat to-dav. Persons desiring to visit it can reach the yard byway of the Broadway r erry. lt is about one mile from Locust Point. FIRES. Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morn- ing an attempt was made to burn the tailoring es- tablishment of William A. Wertshberger, No" 108 Franklin street, by saturating the door-sill with camphene; quite a large space had been covered with the fluid near the door. The fire was discov- ered by officers Watkins, Norwood and Parker, who, with the assistance of some of the neighbors, succeeded in extinguishing the fire before material damage had been done. POLICE INTELLIGENCE The two lads who were arrested a few days since, named Henry Bowersock and Joseph Knox, on the charge of stealing a quantity of sugar, underwent a further exami- nation before Justice Showacre, yesterday afternoon, which resulted in the commitment of Bowersock to the House of Refuge.

He was held for a further hearing by Justice Logan. Dennis Murray was arrested on Monday night by offi- cer W in. I'indell, charged with stealing a hag of sweet po- tatoes. He was committed for Court by Justice Mearis. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CRIMINAL COURT. ?Hon. Henry Stump, Judge.? Milton Whitney, Esq., State's Attorney, prosecu- ting. The following business occupied the Court yesterday: W. H. Cowan, Esq., one of the counsel for the de- fence in the case of William G Ford, charged with the murder of Thomas 11. Burnham, arose and stated to the Court that the original entry of the verdict upon the docket, on the night previous, was simply the words "Guilty of murder" and nothing more. He understood," however, that since then, the record had been changed, and the verdict now recorded stands in the words "Guilty of mur- der in the first degree;" lie contended that the al- teration had been made without authority and asked that the Court should direct that the record be corrected aud the verdict put in the same form as originally entered,upon the rendition of the same. Mr. Cowan also said that the defence had filed a motion in arrrest of Judgment, and took the ground that the verdict had been illegally ren- dered by the Jury, because the grade of crime had not been specified by them when their verdict was given to the Court. Mr. Gardner, Clerk of the Court, stated that .the alteration had been made in his absence. _ Mr. Schley, the assistant Clerk, remarked to the Court, that on the night previous, when the Jury returned into Court, lie had put the usual qnestio'n to them in this form, "Gentlemen of the Jury, what say you. is William G. lord, guilty of the "matter whereof he stands indicted, or not guilty," that the Jury, through their foreman, replied "Guiltv," that Mr. Hack being present, then requested that the Jury should be polled, which was done, and each one asked if the prisoner was guiltyof murder in the first degree, when they each replied in the affirmative; he then entered the verdict as it is now recorded, "Guilty of murder in the first degree." Mr. Hack begged leave to deny the statement of Mr. Schley, and said he was present when the jury was polled, and they simplyanswered the question put to them by the Clerk, with the word "Guiltv;" he could substantiate what he said by the evidence of several gentlemen who were present with him when the verdict was rendered. The defense wished the verdict to be entered on the record as the jury had given it; the Clerk has defined the grade of murder, doing that which the jury left undone. Mr. Whitney contended that it was not necessa- ry for the Jury to have rendered their verdict in any other form; the verdict of "guilty"upon the indictment was sufficient; that the charge made in the original entry, did not invalidate the legality of the verdict. The entry made by the Clerk is no record of this Court; it is a mere minute of the pro- ceedings, which can be corrected, under the direc- tion of the Court, as the law contemplates that all records are made under the eye and by the sanction of the Court. Mr. Cowan said the defense only wanted the entry to remain as the verdict had been rendered. Judge Stump said the jury had been asked whether the prisoner "was guilty or not guilty of the matter whereof he stands indicted," and they had replied "guiltv;" they were then polled at the request of Mr. Hack, and each one then answered "guilty." Guilty of whtlt? of the matter whereof he stands indictetl; he had been indicted for wilful and premeditated murder; the verdict as rendered was sufficient. The Court will allow the record to remain as it is. The case of the State re. Henry Gambrill, indict- ed for the murder of police officer Thomas H. Ben- ton, had been fixed for trial yesterday. Mr. Pitts, one of the counsel for the prisoner, stated to the Court that the defense were not ready to go to trial, and moved a postponement for two weeks, which was agreed to upon the part t f the State.? The tiial is fixed for the 18th inst. State e. Henrv Duvall, indicted jointly with John Lemmon, John Siglefousand a white man unknown, for the murder on the 18th of September last, of Christian Fischer, bv shooting him with a pistol in the right side of the breast, was arraigned and plead "not guilty." State vs. John J.cmmon, indicted jointly with others, for the same offense, was arraigned and plead "not guilty." State vs. John Stevens, alias John Cyplnrs, (ne- gro) indicted for the murder of William Henry King, (negro) by stabbing him with a knife, in the left side of the breast, was arraigned and plead "not guilty." State vs. Henry Burns, who is charged with an assault with intent to killpolice ollicer French, was recently brought here from Washington and con- fined in jail; John Dickson became his security, against whom an attachment had been issued. Mr. Whitney stated that as Burns was now in jail appli- cation was made to release his security on payment of the costs of the attachment. The Court, there- fore, ordered the release. After this W. C. X. Carr, Esq., remarked to the Court that there were 3 indictments against Henry Burns; one charging him with an assault with intent to kill police ollicer French, another charging him with the murder of Sergeant William Jordan, and a third charging him with rioting; and asked the Court to fix the bail required on each of these charges. Mr. Whitney objected to any bail being taken at all; he said the indictments against Burns had been found during the year 1857, that when the case against Burns for the assault with intent to kill had been called, he did not appear in Court, that a bail piece was then issued for his arrest, and since that time he had left the State, and escaped arrest, until he had committed some of- fence in Washington and been there arrested and confined. He was now brought here upon a re- quisition from the Governor to answer the charge of murder, and he considered that there was enough evidence to convict him of the charge, he therefore protested against any bail being taken in the case. The Court remarked that it would demand se- curity in the sum of SII,OOO, to answer the charge of murder, and S7OO each on the other charges. Mr. Whitney.?The amount of bail before for the charge of assault with intent to kill, was SI,500; does your Honor now reduce the bail because he ran awav ? Judge Stump.?He has not been bailed before. Mr. Whitney.?You have just released his securi- ty of $1,500, upon payment of costs of the attach ment. Judge Stump.?l do not recollect it. Mr. Whitney.?lf your Honor does not recollect it, I certainly cannot refresh your memory. The recognizances of Phillip Waters and Isaac Gantz, were forfeited. The Court then adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ?Hon. William L. Mar- shall, Judge. The Court was engaged in the fol- lowing cases yesterday: F. L.

Townsend, of the slaver Echo, who has been undergoing examination at Boston tor some time, has been fullv committed for piracy. His trial will take place before the Circuit Court, on the 15th of October. A new complaint has been entered against him, for misdemeanor, which subjects him to a fine of from SI,OOO to $5,000, and imprison- ment for from three to seven years. The grand juryof Coweta county, Ga., recom- mended the total abolition of the Supreme Court of Georgia.

The following account is taken from the New York papers >" l "J'ua_. n) o'clock, a fearful and bloody riot occurred at the Italian lager beer car- den of Decanus Oakes, corner of Third avenue and Seventy-Eighth street, between forty or fifty Ital- ians there congregated to enjoy themselves,' and a large number of Irishmen. From the facts as they at present appear, it seems that a company of Irish- men were atti acted to the lager beer resort in ques- tion, by hearing at a distance the music which was there discoursed. On arriving at the depot, it is ajfeged that Michael Ronrke, one of the number,'entered the garden and commenced dancing to the music. This gave no offence to the Italians, and the musicians played for Rourhe's benefit Yankee Doodle, Hail Columbia, and other national airs. Rourke contin- ued to dance, and in doing so it is alleged that lie maliciously ran against one of the Italian women, and pushed her over. At this the Italians became very indignant, and several of them ran from their seats for the purpose of ejecting the obnoxious in- dividual. Rourke was hustled into the street with much force, when his companions outside rushed into the garden and commenced an assault upon the Italians. A frightful _ collision was the immediate conse- quence, and in a moment every man of the contend- ing factions was engaged in the fight. Knives, pistols and other deadly weapons were freely used, and apparently every man seemed determined to take the lifeofhis opponent. In afew minutcsafter the commencement of the tight one Michael Culli- gan received a frightful stab in the inside'of the thigh, the weapon severing a main artery, and he bled to death in a few minutes, before medical aid could reach liirn. Edward Burns was stabbed in the back, Michael Rourke received a stab in the head, and Patrick 1 racy was awfully cut in the groin. The three last named it is feared will die from the wounds they have received. Owinj* to the large number engag- ed in the riot, and the great excitement which pre- vailed at the time, it is almost impossible to ascer- tain who the parties are' who used the deadly wea- pons. During the riot a large number ol' pistol shots were fired by the Italians, but it does not ap- pear that any one was dangerously wounded from fire-arms. Aimost immediately after the trouble commenced officer Merrill, of the 19th precinct, was on hand and arrested one of the rioters, who was rescued fil m him by the Italians. With all possible haste \wnd was sent to the station house, when Sergeants 3 an Lrunt and Decker went to the riot with a large force of men, and succeeded in arrest'inf sixteen Italians, one American and two Germans, who were taken to the station house and locked up to await an investigation by Coroner Gamble on Monday morning. Mr. Joseph 3 coinans found a double bar- relled pistol which had been thrown away bv one of the rioters in his flight. From information received by the police, they were led to believe that this garden was the resort of Italian thieves, and was a "fence" for the recep- tion of stolen property. They therefore searched it, and found a wagon load of property which, about three weeks ago, had been stolen from the house of Alderman MeSpendon. This consisted of clotbino-, silverware, Ac. They also found the proceeds of two burglaries, which had been committed in the neighborhood within a short time. Pistols, clubs, slung shots and burglars tools of every variety, to- gether with various kinds of stolen goods, "were found concealed in different parts of the premises, and removed to the Nineteenth Ward Station House. The proprietor of the place and some of liisassist- ants were among the parties arrested. THE SCUTTLED SHIPAT MONTAUKPOINT. About two weeks ago information first reached this city, that a vessel had been sunk off' Montauk Point, under circumstances which ought naturally to arouse suspicion as to the character of the ship and the designs of the party scuttling her. United States Marshal Renders, immediately on receiving this information,'despatched Deputy'De Ansrelis, to Sag Harbor, to ascertain what fact's he could in re- gard to the matter. Mr. De Angelis shortly re- turned, and reported that a large fine clipper" shin had been scuttled off Montauk Point; the crew had dispersed into different parts of the country, with the exception of one, who had died of the African fever and been buried at New London. Marshal Rynders, upon hearing these facts, dispatched De- puties O'Keefe and Theodore Rynders, in search of the crew of the scuttled ship. They were not long in finding out that three of the men were in this city. A sharp lookout was kept on these men till early last week, when they were arrested and im- prisoned. The fact of their arrest was kept secret., so that those who were still at large would not ho put on their guard and abscond from justice. The names of those who were engaged in the expedition were gained, and upon further information, and after consultation with the United States District Attor- ney, Marshal Rynders concluded to send the depu- ties to Boston in search of the remainder of the crew. On arriving at Boston the deputies found two more of the crew, who were placed in tempo- rary charge of the proper authorities. The officers then went to New Bedford, near which place they arrested the first mate, at his house. The mate's name is Macomber, and he was in command when the vessel was sent t here. The deputies then returned to Boston and fell in with several very amiable personages, who were so sociable to the officers that thev began to suspect their character and designs. Their suspicions were right, for they learned shortly afterwards that these gentlemen were friends of the slavers, and had ob- tained a writ ot habeas corpus to serve upon them, for the purpose of having the prisoners brought up. A hack was procured, and the deputies and their prisoners jumped in. Jehu cracked his whip, and off they fiew to the railroad station, which they reached just in time to take the cars for New York, successfully escaping the service of the writ upon them. They arrived earlv on Sunday morning, and at once proceeded to Marshall Render's resi- dence in Henry street, and he ordered the prisoners to be locked up in Eldridge street jail, to await ex- amination. The prisoners keep very silent on the matter, so that but little information has been obtained from them. We are, however, able to give the following facts in regard to the matter: ?lt has hoen stated that the name of the scuttled ship is "Elizabeth, of New Orleans." Such is not the case. Her proper name is "Haidee, of New York." The reason why she was published in the newspapers a few days since as the Elizabeth, of New Orleans, is very readily explained by the fact that the persons scut- tling her had nailed a piece of canvass upon her stern, upon which was painted in large letters, "Elizabeth, of New Orleans." The Haidee sailed from this port in January last for Gibraltar. From Gibraltar she went to Cadiz, and from Cadiz to the coast of Africa. There she took in a cargo of slaves and made for the West India Islands. She landed them?93o in number?- near Cardenas, in the island of Cuba. The vessel thence sailed for Havana, where the captain, owners of the ship and cargo, left her. Nottiing has been heard of them since, and nothing is now known as to their whereabouts. The mate, Macomber, and the r crew, were sent out to sea in the vessel; the mate took charge of her as captain. He told the crew when they started that they were going to New Orleans. After the first day out he told them the ship had no papers, so he did not know where they were gotng. He asked them what they had better do, or where they had better go. They told him that they did not care wh re they went; that he could go where he had a mind to. The mate then steered north, and made Montauk Point, Long Island, in the afternoon. The parties then tacked, and stood out from land tillafter dark, then approached the shore, scuttled the ship by boring holes in hcrsides, took the boats, and went ashore, one boat in one direction, the other boat in another. The sailors are Portuguese, the mate is an Amer- can. The men state that the reason the vessel was scuttled was, that she had no papers by which she could enter an}' port. The Marshal understands that the remaining por- tion of the crew have left the country, and ha 3 consequently given up further chase after them.? He thinks he has done his duty in doing what he has. The examination of the parties will take place in the course of a few days. Mr. P. J. Joa- chimssen, ex-assistant United States District At- torney, has been retained as counsel for the pris- oners. United States Marshal Renders will dispatch a competent person to Montauk Point to-day, to see if the Haidee is worth raising. If she is. the Mar- shal intends to have her up.? -Vac York Herald. MOSLEM DISTURBANCES IX STRIA. [From the 80-iton Travel er.] We have late private advices from Syria, from which it appears that the troubles there are by no means at an end. It is now certain that the Mus- sulmans are doing all in their power, bv every means, to resist the reforms initiated by the Sultan and more especially those which tend to the preju- dice of their faith. Europeans are objects of their peculiar hatred. Insurrections are feared in every city where the Franks have any foothold. At Al- exandria the residents live in constant fear of a rising of the Arabs and the burning of the city. News of murders in all part 3 of the country is con- stantly being received. The cruelties practised at Jiddah and Jaffa are being repeated inmany small- er places. Routes that were formerly safe are now considered as impassible, and the whole country is now an unsafe residence for Europeans. The whole power of the Sultan and of the Pashas is exerted to its fullest extent to produce quiet, but only has thus far resulted in turning the rage of the fanatics against the existing Government, and in giving rise to a plot for dethroning the Sultan and giving the scepter to his brother. So well known is this plot that a number of the Embassadors to Constantinople have given out that Europe will not recognise the title of the Sultan's brother in the event of a successful termination of the rebellion. Our last advices from Alexandria show a horrible state of things. Our correspondent says: "There we heard of the murder of many Franks by the fa- natical Mussulmans; and the report reached us that the Turks had secreted 5,000 muskets at one time, ane 20,000 at another, in their mosques, to be used in a general rising for the destruction of the Franks and Christian residents of the city." We have seen a letter from Beyrout of late date, in wliiuh it is stated that the American Consul for that place arrived there about the middle of July with his tamily. and that the raising of the flag of the Consulate, i'or the first time in sixteen months, was a pleasant sight for the American residents. The trial of the Jcfl'a criminals was then in pro- gress; and it was regretted that the Dixon family, whose numbers were thinned by the Arabs there, had returned to America, as it was feared that some of the miscreants might escape punishment by lack of means for their indentification. It will be recol- lected that the remainder of this family, who belong in Massachusetts, reached Boston but a few days since. A rumor of disturbances at Mount Lebanon had reached Beyrout, and the Pasha there, who is only second in dignity to the Grand Vizier, had, upon the representations of the Consuls at that place, dis- patched a troop of soldiers to quell the rebellion, as well as to protect the foreigners. A number of mis- sionaries on their way to different parts of Pales- tine were at Beyrout awaiting the execution of the Jaffa criminals, fearing that it might cause a gen- eral insurrection throughout the country, and pre- ferring to remain under the protection of the guns of the men-of-war collected in the harbor. The writer of the above mentioned letter, which is dated Aug. 11, says : "An English man-of war arrived here yesterday, and a French man-of-war came last week. A Turk- ish frigate stationed here sailed for Tripoli a few days since, whore an outbreak was rumored to have commenced. Next week, it is expected that there will be six steamers in the harbor; so, if a general rising should take place we can escape. There are also about 40 sail of merchant vessels in the har- bor, of all nations except our own. We need an American man-of-war here, and expect one as soon as the exigencies of the public service will permit." A son of A. O. Talbot, M.

General Monagas and J. Gutierrez, sailed from this port the 31st August, on board the national brig San Pedro, in compliance with decrees of Gen. Castro. The convention alluded to in the decrees was con- cluded by Mr. M. Berrisbeitia, Minister of State of the Republic of Venezuela, and Generrl Carlos Soublette, Chief of the Staff of his Excellency Gen. Castro, and Mr. F. Ormo, in the name of the Vice- Adniiral Count Gueydon, Commander-in-Chief of the allied squadrons (French and English,) at La- guayra. Mr. Orme is the new English Charge d'Affaires. By the said convention it was agreed:? 1. lo send General Monagas out of the territory of the republic. 2. io surrender Gutierrez to the French Lega- t'?. at the disposal of the Venezuelan government, that he might be tried unless the Executive power lndulted hitn. 3. lo try Gusseppi, for his peculations, extor- tions, Ac. 4. lo submit to the friendlv and fair discussion of the government withthe legations, the indemnitv tor the bearer of despatches detained at Laguavra, and the indemnity for the family of a French sub- ject murdered in Caracas. 5. lo withdraw the allies' squadron from La- guayra, as soon as the convention should be signed. Signed in Laguayra the 28th August, 1838. By the decrees alluded to in the above letter, Monagas was to be sent out of the country, and his banishment to last until the Convention or the Na- t>onal Congress should decide otherwise. lhe decree in no way to interfere with the pecu- niary responsibility which he should have incurred for acts during his administration, i ' ,a , c i. nto Gutierrez was pardoned, but remains vanished from the territory of ttic republic, until the Convention or Congress should have decided otherwise. 1 he provision as to pecuniary responsibility is the same in both cases. ' Giuseppi remains in prison. A correspondent of the Piano, of Havana, says: . peaceful and respectable Venezuelans show themselves very much indebted to the persons who interfered in the honorable settlement of the pend- ing dilliculty relative to the Monagas affair?to Mr Orme, representative of Great Britain, and to the Count de Gueydon, vice admiral of France; on the part of Venezuela to the provisional President Cas- tro, to General Carlos Soublette, Dr. Mauritio Ber- risbeitia, and lastly to Sr. Garcia de Quevedo, rep- resentative of Spain, and Sr. Pereira Leal, repre- sentative of Brazil, who interposed their good of- nccs. " Monagas and Gutierrez left on the 31st of Au- gust from Laguayra for Martinique, on board the brig San Pedro, which was towed to sea by the Lritish war steamer Buzzard, Col. C. Mirichen accompanying them. On the morning of the 28th, his Excellency the 1 rovisional President, accompanied by his staff, sot out for Laguavra, where he arrived at half-past seven to herald the re-establishment of peace be- tween Venezuela, England and France. In La- guayra the news of the arrival of General Castro being known at half-past six in the morning, a pub- lic proclamation announced that the visit of his Excellency should be worthily celebrated. In Mai- quetia several persons on horseback joined the suite oi the General, and the immense majority of the population of Laguayra were assembled near the Custom House to receive him. All the streets were, as if by enchantment, decorated with the flags of all nations; there were artillery salutes, and in the night was made brilliant fireworks. So many joyous demonstrations were an evident proof of the high satisfaction shared by the entire popu- lation. General Castro was lodged in a private house, from tin? balcony of which he addressed the assein- bled people in a brief, but expressive speech, where- in lie congratulated them on the re-establishment ot peace and good relations with England and France. As liis visit was quite unexpected, fifty persons immediately opened a subscription of twen- ty dollars each to offer a banquet to his Excellency and his suite, to which were also invited the French \ ice Admiral, Countde Gueydon, Mr. Lcvrand, Mr. Orme. the commanders of the war ships in the port, the Dominican General, Buenaventura Baez, the consuls and officers of the garrison. The banquet was very cordial, and toasts were brought out in favor of the prosperity of the coun- try and the continuation of the good intelli- gence between the Venezuelan republic and the two great Western Powers of Europe, which, in- stead of a transitory enmity, now offered their en- lightened assistance for the devclopement of vari- ous industrial enterprises. Notwithstanding the financial crises, and of course a great want of money, Senor Montufar has succeeded in completing the telegraphic line to Puerto Cabello. If peace continues we shall soon have not only electric telegraphs in all directions, but also railroads. Several rich strangers are dis- posed to enter into whatever enterprise of this kind may promise good results. Several of the individuals complicated in the last plan ofrevolution have been set at liberty; on the other hand, a number of persons who seem to be very much compromised in the matter have been imprisoned in the Principal According to trust- worthy accounts received here, the faction which had raised the banner of rebellion in Guanarito has been completely routed. Thus tranquility is fullyre-established in Venezuela. ARMY INTELLIGENCE. It is determined by the War Department to augment the forces now serving in the departments of the Pacific and Oregon, and it is expected that in a few days upwards of one thousand men will be concentrated at Governor's Island for that pur- pose. I'he regiments now serving in those departments are as follows: First dragoons. Major A. H. Blake commanding; Fourth Infantry, Lieut.-Col. T. Mor- ris commanding; Sixth Infantry, Lieut.-001. George Andrews commanding; Ninth Infantry, Col. George Wright commanding. A board of officers, consisting of Captain O. E. | Pickett, Ninth Infantry; Captain J. Gorgus, Ord- nance Department; Brevet Major T. T. S. Laidley, j Ordnance Department; Lieutenant H. IS. Clitz, Third Infantry, and Lieutenant I). 11. Manry, j .Mounted Riflemen, have been ordered to assemble ( at the Washington Arsenal for the purpose of ex- amining recent improvements in small arms. The i Hoard arc directed to report to the Wr ar Depart- j ment, through the Ordnance Bureau, with such re- | marks and opinions as they may deem proper, and ! to be governed by the provision in the Army Ap- propriation act of June 12, 1858. The following assignments to duty of officers in : the medical department have been directed by the | Secretary of War: Surgeon Madison Mills, to"Fort j Leavenworth, Kansas; Surgeon John W. Cuvler to I'ort Monroe, Va.; Surgeon N. S. Jarvis to St. An- tonio, Texas, there to assume the duties of medical j director; Assistant Surgeon R. Potts, to Fort Kip- | ley, Min.; Assistant Surgeon A. J. Meyer to Baton j Rouge, La. Second Lieut. John S. Saunders, Second artillery, ' is transferred to the Ordnance Department, and directed to report accordingly to the Colonel of \ Ordnance, by whom will be placed on duty at 1 the Washington Arsenal.? N. Y. /.V. Punt. The correspondent of the New York Time*, writ- i ing from Cainp Floyd, U. T., under date of Sept, .2, ! says:?Major Eastman arrived about a fortnight I since, with several hundred recruits for the Fifth j Infantry. The regiment, which was a mere skele- ton hitherto, on account of the large number of j discharges on expiration of enlistment, is now com- paratively full, averaging more than sixty men per j company. The new recruits are drilled daily, and the regiment will soon be in a high state of effici- ency. Major Eastman commands; the colonel, Col. j Loomis, having been until recently on duty in | Florida; and the lieutenant-colonel, Col. W aite, \ having recently left on leave of absence. Capt. Anderson, of the Second Dragoons, arrived i on the 20th ult., with a few recruits for his regi- ment. 1lis little party was all that remained of the Second Column of the reinforcements for the Utah | Army, after reaching Fort Laramie, and leaving 1 I the garrison for that post. He brings some few I horses, but they are in no better condition than those that have been grazing among the hills and canons bordering upon Cedar Valley. Owing to the inability of the Quartermaster's De- partment to obtain the requisite amount of forage, ) the horses will be herded among the different val- leys again this winter, and no one looks forward to | the duty of guarding the herds with any degree of ! pleasure. A wandering life among these moun- I tains, with a tent for protection against the storms of winter, is bv no means an agreeable one to con- template; besides, great vigilance w illbe necessary, on account of the Indians, who are in the habit of penetrating among the settlements and driving off stock inconsiderable numbers. One squadron of dragoons will be kept up, in order to be ready for any emergency which may arise.? Stables will be erected for them, and the horses must eat wheat, barley and oats, mixed, at $1.50 per bushel. The Indians fired upon a party of Saints, who were cutting hav in (tush valley, a fortnight since, and Lieutenant Tyler, with one hundred mounted men. was dispatched to the valley of Serier River to find their camp, and bring in the Chiefs for a talk: but altera trip of eight days ho returned, without having found any sign. The whole command is now busily occupied in hauling timber for the Cantonment, to which we will soon move. The present plan is to erect adobe buildings and cover them with boards with two inches of earth on the top. It is optional with the men whether they build these houses themselves, the adobes and lumber being furnished, or whether they will take the Hibley tent, raised upon a wall some three or four feet high. The majority elect the house?in fact there are no companies which were at Camp Scott last Winter desirous of trying a life in tents over again. By the present arrange- ment each officer will be allowed one room fifteen feet square. Though this is rather a limited accom- modation, yet I think it will be found quite as much as their present limited allowance of furniture will equip. Captain Simpson of, the Topographical Engi- neers, left some days since with an escort of an officer and twenty mounted men, to make a recon- naissance in the direction of Fort Itridger, through the Provo Canon; the object being to ascertain whether a shorter route may not be found than the present one through Echo and Emigration Ca- nons. The Sixth Infantry were to have left Fort Bridg- 1 er for Oregon, on the 20th ult. It will be remem- bered that they came over the road surveyed by I Lieutenant Bryan, which they pronounce favorably , upon as far as Bridger's Pass, but thence to Fort | Bridger the route is only adapted to small parties, on account of the scarcity of the water and grass. I Nevertheless, two companies of the Fourth Artil- lery have been ordered to the Cheyenne Pass, with instructions to build a post. We now have every prospect of an abundant sup- ply of subsistence stores the ensuing winter. The restriction upon the ration was removed for the first time since last fall, on the Ist inst. We hare been abundantly supplied with the vegetables of the season by the Saints, but at enormously high pri- ces. Numbers of the Mormons are now seeking em- ployment from the Government, having caught a glimpse of the coin which is beginning to circulate among them. Men who have fine farms, and can spare a month from the farm labor, seek employ- ment in any capacity for that time in order to ob- j tain the wherewith to purchase winter clothing for | themselves and families.? Corr. X. Y. Evening I'oat. FORT LARAMIE, N. T., Sept. 5. | The Company of Sappers and Miners, command- ! i ed by Lieut. Duane, D. S. Engineers, arrived here ] from Bridger on the 30th August and left on the ' 2d for the east. When they came out from the I i States they brought with them seven wagon loads j . of pioneer's tools?such as spades, picks, axes, saws j and augers?and now they are taking them all back, j although they are greatly needed in U;ah, and i others could be purchased at West Point (the des tination of the company) for one-fourth the cost of i carrying these back. The reason assigned for this course of conduct is that the tools belong to the j Engineer bureau, and there is no officer of that corps [ left to take charge of them. One would suppose a 1 m'Kht entrusted with this import- I ui? ' f .'! ' n,aDtr ? *®[t Fort Bridger on the 21st ult., for Oregon ,> Bcnicia, California. They will I reach the latter point about the middle of Norem- ' 1 <wdn ln(^i eXPUC i u lnt s thero a,,er their maroh of 1,800 miles, unless the Secretary of War and Gene- ral Harney shall see tit to attempt a winter campaign in Oregon. H The (Trass between South Pass and Fort Bridger is entirely eaten up, and various serious doubts are entertained as to the possibility of the remainder of the contractors' trains) more than one-half) petting through to Salt Lake City. Xo grain can be got, of course, and if tlie grass fails, the animals must starve. The new road opened by Lieutenant Bryan passes about seventy-five miles south of here, and is sixty miles shorter than this route: the ascents are also more gentle, and it is less likely to be blocked with sno\v than this road, hut grass is extremely scarce, being confined to the immediate banks of streams, and the water, particularly down Bitter Creek (a tributary of Green river.) is bad.? Bryan's road is preferable for mail riders and small parties of travelers, but all large trains must con- tinue to travel up the North Fork of the Platte and along the Sweetwater. Companies L and SI, 4th Artillery, will leave here about the 15th inst. to establish a militarypost at the head of Lodge Pole Creek, where Bryan's road strikes the Black Hills. Grass and timber are much more abundant on the head waters of Medi- cine Bow River (a hundred miles farther west,) but it is too late in the season to get there and erect buildings; in fact nothing but huts can be put up this fall on Lodge Pole Creek. The order for the establishment of the new post was delayed on the road at least three weeks, and our first informa- tion was derived from the address, or one of the übiquitous printed copies of Russell, Major & Wad- dell s contract. The cost of maintaining troops, particularly cav- alry, out here, is enormous. 'Corn at this post costs the" government more than six dollars a bushel. Just before theclose of Mr. Davis's career as Secre- tary of War, he issued an order breaking up this post, and Fort Kearney intending (1 think wisely) to send expeditions out to the plains every summer, to awe the Indians, and in the fall when "the grass failed, to recall the troops to Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth where forage is cheap. Infantry garrisons are less expensive, but they are totally useless, probably injurious. Both hereand at Kear- ney the Indians have driven oft' the government herd in broad daylight, and in full view of the "doughboys," who could only watch them from their barracks, because they had no animals with which to follow in pursuit." A train of seventy-five government wagons, loaded with clothing for the troops in Utah, ar- rived here yesterday in thirty days from Fort Leavenworth. This is prett}- fast traveling, but it is necessary, for the supply of clothing in Utah is exhausted. In Gen. Smith's minute instructions for the move- ment of the reinforcements for Utah, contained in his order of the 3d of May, the allowance for trans- portation for troop was tixed at the minimum, and officers and soldiers were prohibited from taking their families, on the pretext that the service was temporary,and that most of the reinforcements would speedily return to Fort Leavenworth. He also promised that those who did not return should have sent to theio, from Fort Leavenworth, a very liberal supply of baggage, Ac. Out ot four regi- ments that marched, one has been ordered back; the members of the other three can indulge the hope of meeting their families sometime after Russell, Wad- dell and Floyd retire; and if any officer among them still thinks it is necessary to change his shirt oftener than once a week, he can enjoy that felicity by pur- chasing a couple of "hickories" of the sutler at an advance on St. Louis prices of from 300 to 1,000 percent. A few days since a delegation of Sioux called upon our commanding officer to complain that they were unable to communicate freely withtheir agent, because he lives near the Crows, who arc at enmity with the Sioux. They obtained no satisfaction. ? These Indians live bv hunting antelope and by beg- ging. A band of them have established their vil- lage near the fort. Their lodges are made of coni- cal arrangements of poles covered with dressed buffalo skins. One of these Indians, named The Swimmer, died of appoplexy recently. He bore a very strong resemblance to General Cass; so strong in fact, that everybody observed it. The Sioux tie their dead in the branches of trees, but Swimmer was so heavy they interred him. Our gardens have produced nothing. Either ex- cessive rain, continuous drought, or the grasshop- pers, make horticulture a failure three years out of four. Some mountaineers and Indian traders have attempted to raise corn, but they cannot succeed. FROM PIKE'S PEAK GOLD REGION. The Occidental (Independence) Messenger, of the 25th ult., says : "Several gentlemen arrived at this place on Thursday last, direct Irom the Oold mines near Pike's Peak. The parties live in Ray county, Mo., and have spent several months prospecting for gold in these mines. They state that as many as 150 persons had been at the mines this summer, and had explored and prospected them to their heart's content. This party represent that nearly all had abandoned the mines, they being about the last to leave. They say that gold certainly exists in that whole section of country, as they never tried at any point but they succeeded in washing out a small quantity from the dirt, but the yield was so small that it'would not pay the miners at work while they were there, not averaging as ranch as fifty cents per day. The gentlemen intend when they arrive at home, inRay, to publish an account of their adventures and success in the mines, together with the prospects and inducements for others to go." The Lawrence (Kansas) Republican, of the 23d ult., says: "During the past week there hare been several arrivals in town from the gold regions of the Rocky Mountains. From Mr. Baker, who was one of the original Lawrence company, we learn that that company have gone to the Spanish Peaks instead of Cherry Creek. The Spanish Peaks are in New Mexico, about six days journey south front Pike's Peak. The Lawrence company have been encamped nearly all summer at Pike's Peak, and have sent prospecting companies into all the coun- try reuml about. They found gold in all the streams, hut not in sufficient quantities to prove profitable mining with their present facilities. Mr. Baker is confident that there arc rich deposits of gold in that region, and that, with the proper fa- cilities for mining, it could be made to pav well. He confirms the account that there is a Georgia company at work on Cherry Creek. It is from this Georgia company that the arrivals of gold to Kan- sas City have been received. The Lawrence com- pany have gone to Spanish Peaks, and will proba- bly winter in New Mexico." A correspondent of the N.Y. Evening Post,writing from Cambridge, Mass., says : The friends of Har- vard University in New York will probably be sur- prised and certainly will regret to hear'that tho Hon. Joel Parker, Royal Professor in the Law School, contemplates resigning bis high and honor- able position. Judge Parker was called t.O the chair which he has so well and happily filled, about twelve years ago, succeeding to some of the branches previously taught by Mr. Justice .Storv. Prior to this he was for several years Chief Justice of New Hampshire, and the legal eommunitv will well remember his signal triumph over Judge Story when the Supreme Court nt Washington gave their sanction to his construction of the Bankrupt Laws of 1841, and disapproved of the rulings in the Dis- trict Court, held by Storv. Judge Parker's loss will be severely felt, and there will be great difficulty in securing'a successor as learned and distinguished as he. Judge Thoivas of Worcester, a present justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, has been tendered the office, but prefers to remain in the position he now occupies. It is uncertain to whom the tender will next be made. Ex-Governor Washburn and Hon. Theopi- lus Parsons continue to give great satisfaction in the Law Department, and the bar will soon re- ceive from the latter gentleman a valuable treatise in two volumes, on Maritime Law, the Law of In- surance and the Practice of Admiralty. The venerable president, Dr. James Walker, still retains his seat at the head of the University ' not- withstanding the numerous reports of last year an- nouncing his intention to resign, and the "contests of rival candidates for the succession. In the event of his resignation. Prof. Felton and Hon. Robert 0. Winthrop would be prominent candidates for the position. Very soon we shall expect the first volume of a standard history of New England, from the pen of Hon. John O. Palfrey Since retiring from politi- cal lite, Mr. Palfrey has been collection- valuable and rare materials for his work, which, jud-nno- from a perusal of a few of the proof-sheets and" the reputation of the author as a scholar and historian, will constitute by far the most attractive and ju- diciously written history of New England that has yet appeared.

'Uoiu'.irii anb Mcto.BALTIMORE, October 5, 1858.

At the Stock Board to-day the transactions wereexceedingly small, the only sale of Railroad sharesbein" - shares of Baltimore and Ohio at $54% regu-lar way. closing about the same as yesterday at

sss' i bid, $55% asked cash. After the Board salestook place of 400 shares at $55% cash, short time,and seller's option 60 days, and 55% buyer 50 days.For Northern Central $20% was bid, $20% asked,regular way, at the close, % lower than yesterday.Springfield Mining is held at $2.56, and Santa Clara

Mining at $20% with sl9 bid. The only sale of

Bank stock was 50 shares Franklin at sll%@sll%.

Baltimore city G's 1890 are a trifle weaker, S9OOselling at 95%@98, and we note a sale of S2OO Bal-timore s's at 80. Northern Central 1885'3 are steady,with sales at 67%, the same as last rate. In Balti-more and Ohio Railroad bonds there was nothing

doing; 1885's were held at 83 and 1875's at 85%with Bft offered.

Fancy stocks at New York to-day advanced ma-

terially, and the market closed firm. Erie im-proved 1%; New York Central 1%; Reading %;

Cleveland and Toledo 1%; Rock Island %, andMichigan Southern %. Lacrosse and Milwaukee felloff%.

The New York Tribune of to-day says:There is no remarkable feature in the Rank statement

to-day; excepting the decrease of the specie line, which,although it was small, was unexpected, the general im-pression being that there would be an increase of quarterto half a million on the California receipt counted for threedays. The general movement has been withoutinterest, the decrease in loans and deposits con-tinuing but only to moderate extent. The loans felloff about

_half a million under the maturity of

paper and the inability to use profitably theaccumulating receipt*. The actual deposits show adecline ofonly about $200,000. This, however, in the faceof the deposits ofCalifornia gold, is as much as was an-ticipated. The Suffolk Rank of Boston has been drawing

freely on its balance here, to maintain itself in the con-test going on with the New England Ranks, and this ac-counts for a considerable loss in deposits. The Rank bal-ances generally, as far as we can learn, have not been dis-turbed.

The following is a onmpnrative statement of the condi-tion of the Banks of the City of New York for the weekending September 25 and October 2:

Sept. 2ft. Oct. 2.Loans $124,113,904 $123 059.697 Bee. $459,267Specie 28,625,831 28,533,185 Dec. 92.346Circulation 7,864.373 7,875,750 Inc. 11,377Deposits 102.429,344 104.901 563 Inc. 2,472,219Undrawn deposits 86,081,897 85.886.370 Dec. 195,527

The Foreign Exchange market has not opened for thesteamer with any animation. The supply ofbills is better,especially of Southern francs. Sterling is held at 109#'q)110. but the best signatures may be had at 109 X per cent.Francs are 5 [email protected]#.

The weekly statement of the Philadelphia Banks,made up to the 27th ult., presents the followingaSn re r?ate3 >

compared with those of the previousweek:

Sept. 27. Oct. 4.Loan;, $25,138,137 $25,248,410 Inc. $110,273Specie, 6,909.985 7.139,461 Inc. 229.476Due from Banks, 2.013,753 2.023.148 Inc. 9.395Due other Banks. 3.020.702 3 244.940 Inc. 224.238Deposits, 17,509.605 17.506.426 Dec. 3.179Circulation, 2,491,549 2,677.116 Inc. 85.567

The above statement compares favorably withthat of last week, showing a handsome gain innear- jly every department. It will be perceived that the Iamount of capital shows an increase of $127,950, !being the addition of the Corn Exchange Bank, jnew, which is included in the statement for the !

first time.

CONVENTION OF GERMAN SOCIETIES?PROTECTIONTO EMIGRANTS.? The Convention of delegates fromGerman Societies in different States of the Union,met again on Monday morning in Pythagoras Hall.Mr. Schumacher, the president, opened the pro-ceedings with an address. Messrs. Robert Henningand Richard Unger, delegates from St. Louis, ap-peared and took their seats. Several spiritedspeeches, setting forth the wrongs which emigrantsfrom Europe to this country suffered,"and urging thenecessity of measures of protection, were made, andthe dralt of a petition to Congress on the subjectwas adopted. The petition asks Congress to enacta law for the protection of female passen-gers from the outrages now so common;compelling the separation of the sexes onboard of emigrant ships, except in the caseof married couples?and obliging ownersand masters of vessels to account tor and guaran-tee the safe delivery of property belonging to per-sons who may die on the passage. It was also re-solved that every emigrant ship carrying one hun-dred or more steerage passengers, should have acompetent physician on board, able to prepare andcompound the medicines required in treating casesof sickness. A communication was received fromthe Hon. John Cochrane, stating that at the nextsession of Congress he would advocate the passageof a law to effect the objects desired by the Conven-tion. At the evening session, Mr. Schumacher re-signed his position as President, and Mr. Kaufman,of the Xew York Society, was elected in his stead.After some further action, in promotion of the viewsof the Convention, it adjourned to meet yesterdaymorning.

THE VIRGINIA CATTLE REGION. ? The Abingdon1 'irginian, of the 2d inst., speaking of the bad pros-

pect for the drovers in that section, says :We have exceedingly gloomy accounts from Eas-

tern Virginia and the"Valley. The want of grass,the scarcity ot money, and the low price of beef,all stare the drovers in the face. We have been in-formed that last year's cattle, after being fattenedfor market, bring little ifany more than their cost.Consequently, not half the usual number will bedriven. We have a letter now before us from aRussell drover, who is doing the best he can in theValley, but expresses the fear that he will be com-pelled to return with his stock. lie says the mosthe has been offered is 2% cents.

Forty-nine of the camels belonging to the UnitedStates are now at Campe Verde, sixty miles fromSan Antonio. Onlv one of those imported hasdied, while ten have been added by birth. Theseyoung American born camels thrive well, andpromise to grow up equal in all respects to thoseimported. Notwithstanding the successful triallately made by Captain Beale in his explorationsacross the continent, there are some officers of thearmy who doubt whether anything is to be gainedby the use of camels. We hope, however, that ex-periments in their use will not long be confined tothe armv officers, but that as the number increasesthey will pass into the bands of private owners.?-V. Y. Tribune.

TheNaval Department has just decided that naval cap-tains, when in charge of expeditions similar tothat now about to start for South America, shallbe justified in assuming the title of, and to be enti-tled to the honors and salutes of an Admiral.

annual exhibition of the Maryland Institute com-menced last evening, the opening being inaugura-ted, in the presence of a vast concourse of our citi-zens, by a grand concert by the Independent Blues'Band,under the direction of Capt. Holland. Fromthe time of the opening to the closing of the doorsthe spacious hall was thronged, and the gratifica-tion we heard expressed on all sides, attestedthat the pledge of those having it in charge, torender this exhibition a peculiarly interesting one,has been fully redeemed. Every room in thebuilding that can be appropriated thereto is filledwith works of almost every conceivable characterof art. The charge of keeping order has been en-trusted to Messrs. Theodore Woodall and Francis'f. McKinly, both of whom are experienced in suchmatters.

The front room upon the second story has beenappropriated to the uses of a refreshment saloon,and tastefully fitted up with that view by the Gil-mour Brothers, who will superiutend the same.They have on exhibition a work of wonderful skillin the way of a mammoth fruit cake. The base orfirst layer thereof is six feet in diameter and onefoot thick, and the second layer four and a halffeetin diameter, and of nearly the same thickness.This portion is tastefully decorated withroses and flowers of various kinds andevery hue, made of sugar. The whole issurmounted with acupola orspiresix feet inheight,in imitation of that surmounting St. AlphonsusChurch, and the whole formed of sugar. The cakeand ornamental work is about eight, feet in height,and weighs 2,500 pounds. The Messrs. Gihnouryesterday morning celebrated their success in pre-paring this beautiful work, by handsomely entertain-ing a large company of those in charge of, and inattendance at the Fair, as exhibitors.

The machinery department is well supplied, frommanufacturers in every section of the country, andwill be found exceedingly interesting. Althoughthe motive power is ready'for use, it will require a

few days more to put the entire machinery in run-ning order. A portion of it was started last even-ing. It is anticipated that all the goods on exibi-tion will be regularly arranged by this evening.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.CRIMINALCOURT. ?Hon. Henry Stump, Judge.?

Milton Whitney, Esq., State's Attorney, prosecu-ting. The following business occupied the Courtyesterday:

W. H. Cowan, Esq., one of the counsel for the de-fence in the case of William G Ford, charged withthe murder of Thomas 11. Burnham, arose andstated to the Court that the original entry of theverdict upon the docket, on the night previous,was simply the words "Guilty of murder" andnothing more. He understood," however, that sincethen, the record had been changed, and the verdictnow recorded stands in the words "Guilty of mur-der in the first degree;" lie contended that the al-teration had been made without authority andasked that the Court should direct that the recordbe corrected aud the verdict put in the same formas originally entered,upon the rendition of the same.Mr. Cowan also said that the defence had fileda motion in arrrest of Judgment, and tookthe ground that the verdict had been illegallyren-dered by the Jury, because the grade of crime hadnot been specified by them when their verdict wasgiven to the Court.

Mr. Gardner, Clerk of the Court, stated that .thealteration had been made in his absence.

_

Mr. Schley, the assistant Clerk, remarked to theCourt, that on the night previous, when the Juryreturned into Court, lie had put the usual qnestio'nto them in this form, "Gentlemen of the Jury, whatsay you. is William G. lord, guilty of the "matterwhereof he stands indicted, or not guilty,"that theJury, through their foreman, replied "Guiltv,"that Mr. Hack being present, then requested thatthe Jury should be polled, which was done, andeach one asked if the prisoner was guiltyof murderin the first degree, when they each replied in theaffirmative; he then entered the verdict as it is now

recorded, "Guilty of murder in the first degree."Mr. Hack begged leave to deny the statement of

Mr. Schley, and said he was present when the jurywas polled, and they simplyanswered the questionput to them by the Clerk, with the word "Guiltv;"he could substantiate what he said by the evidenceof several gentlemen who were present with himwhen the verdict was rendered. The defense wishedthe verdict to be entered on the record as the juryhad given it; the Clerk has defined the grade ofmurder, doing that which the jury left undone.

Mr. Whitney contended that it was not necessa-ry for the Jury to have rendered their verdict inany other form; the verdict of "guilty"upon theindictment was sufficient; that the charge made inthe original entry, did not invalidate the legalityof the verdict. The entry made by the Clerk is norecord of this Court; it is a mere minute of the pro-ceedings, which can be corrected, under the direc-tion of the Court, as the law contemplates that allrecords are made under the eye and by the sanctionof the Court.

Mr. Cowan said the defense only wanted the entryto remain as the verdict had been rendered.

Judge Stump said the jury had been askedwhether the prisoner "was guilty or not guilty ofthe matter whereof he stands indicted," and theyhad replied "guiltv;"they were then polled at therequest of Mr. Hack, and each one then answered"guilty." Guilty of whtlt? of the matter whereofhe stands indictetl; he had been indicted for wilfuland premeditated murder; the verdict as renderedwas sufficient. The Court will allow the record toremain as itis.

The case of the State re. Henry Gambrill, indict-ed for the murder of police officer Thomas H. Ben-ton, had been fixed for trial yesterday. Mr. Pitts,one of the counsel for the prisoner, stated to theCourt that the defense were not ready to go totrial, and moved a postponement for two weeks,which was agreed to upon the part t f the State.?The tiial is fixed for the 18th inst.

State e. Henrv Duvall, indicted jointlywith JohnLemmon, John Siglefousand a white man unknown,for the murder on the 18th of September last, ofChristian Fischer, bv shooting him with a pistol inthe right side of the breast, was arraigned and plead"not guilty."

State vs. John J.cmmon, indicted jointly withothers, for the same offense, was arraigned andplead "not guilty."

State vs. John Stevens, alias John Cyplnrs, (ne-gro) indicted for the murder of William HenryKing, (negro) by stabbing him with a knife, in theleft side of the breast, was arraigned and plead "notguilty."

State vs. Henry Burns, who is charged with anassault with intent to killpolice ollicer French, wasrecently brought here from Washington and con-fined in jail; John Dickson became his security,against whom an attachment had been issued. Mr.Whitney stated that as Burns was now in jail appli-cation was made to release his security on paymentof the costs of the attachment. The Court, there-fore, ordered the release.

After this W. C. X. Carr, Esq., remarked to theCourt that there were 3 indictments against HenryBurns; one charging himwith an assault with intentto kill police ollicer French, another charging himwith the murder of Sergeant William Jordan, anda third charging him with rioting; and asked theCourt to fix the bail required on each of thesecharges.

Mr. Whitney objected to any bail being taken atall; he said the indictments against Burns had beenfound during the year 1857, that when the caseagainst Burns for the assault with intent to kill hadbeen called, he did not appear in Court, that a bailpiece was then issued for his arrest, and sincethat time he had left the State, and escapedarrest, until he had committed some of-fence in Washington and been there arrested andconfined. He was now brought here upon a re-quisition from the Governor to answer the chargeof murder, and he considered that there was enoughevidence to convict him of the charge, he thereforeprotested against any bail being taken in the case.

The Court remarked that it would demand se-curity in the sum of SII,OOO, to answer the charge ofmurder, and S7OO each on the other charges.

Mr. Whitney.?The amount of bail before for thecharge of assault with intent to kill, was SI,500;does your Honor now reduce the bail because he ranawav ?

Judge Stump.?He has not been bailed before.Mr. Whitney.?You have just released his securi-

ty of $1,500, upon payment of costs of the attachment.

Judge Stump.?l do not recollect it.Mr. Whitney.?lf your Honor does not recollect

it, I certainly cannot refresh your memory.The recognizances of Phillip Waters and Isaac

Gantz, were forfeited.The Court then adjourned until this morning at

10 o'clock.

RIOT IN NEW YORK.The following account is taken from the New

York papers>"l"J'ua_. n) o'clock, a fearful andbloody riot occurred at the Italian lager beer car-

den of Decanus Oakes, corner of Third avenue andSeventy-Eighth street, between forty or fifty Ital-ians there congregated to enjoy themselves,' and alarge number of Irishmen. From the facts as theyat present appear, it seems that a company of Irish-men were atti acted to the lager beer resort inques-tion, by hearing at a distance the music which wasthere discoursed.

On arriving at the depot, it is ajfeged thatMichael Ronrke, one of the number,'entered thegarden and commenced dancing to the music. Thisgave no offence to the Italians, and the musiciansplayed for Rourhe's benefit Yankee Doodle, HailColumbia, and other national airs. Rourke contin-ued to dance, and in doing so it is alleged that liemaliciously ran against one of the Italian women,and pushed her over. At this the Italians becamevery indignant, and several of them ran from theirseats for the purpose of ejecting the obnoxious in-dividual.

Rourke was hustled into the street with muchforce, when his companions outside rushed into thegarden and commenced an assault upon the Italians.A frightful _ collision was the immediate conse-quence, and in a moment every man of the contend-ing factions was engaged in the fight. Knives,pistols and other deadly weapons were freely used,and apparently every man seemed determined totake the lifeofhis opponent. In afew minutcsafterthe commencement of the tight one Michael Culli-gan received a frightful stab in the inside'of thethigh, the weapon severing a main artery, and hebled to death ina few minutes, before medical aidcould reach liirn.

Edward Burns was stabbed in the back, MichaelRourke received a stab in the head, and Patrick1 racy was awfully cut in the groin. The three lastnamed it is feared will die from the wounds theyhave received. Owinj* to the large number engag-ed in the riot, and the great excitement which pre-vailed at the time, it is almost impossible to ascer-tain who the parties are' who used the deadly wea-pons. During the riot a large number ol' pistolshots were fired by the Italians, but it does not ap-pear that any one was dangerously wounded fromfire-arms.

Aimost immediately after the trouble commencedofficer Merrill, of the 19th precinct, was on handand arrested one of the rioters, who was rescuedfil m him by the Italians. With all possible haste\wnd was sent to the station house, when Sergeants3 an Lrunt and Decker went to the riot with a largeforce of men, and succeeded in arrest'inf sixteenItalians, one American and two Germans, who weretaken to the station house and locked up to awaitan investigation by Coroner Gamble on Mondaymorning. Mr. Joseph 3 coinans found a double bar-relled pistol which had been thrown away bv one ofthe rioters in his flight.

From information received by the police, theywere led to believe that this garden was the resortof Italian thieves, and was a "fence" for the recep-tion of stolen property. They therefore searchedit, and found a wagon load of property which, aboutthree weeks ago, had been stolen from the house ofAlderman MeSpendon. This consisted of clotbino-,silverware, Ac. They also found the proceeds oftwo burglaries, which had been committed in theneighborhood within a short time. Pistols, clubs,slung shots and burglars tools of every variety, to-gether with various kinds of stolen goods, "werefound concealed in different parts of the premises,and removed to the Nineteenth Ward Station House.The proprietor of the place and some of liisassist-ants were among the parties arrested.

THE SCUTTLED SHIPAT MONTAUKPOINT.About two weeks ago information first reached

this city, that a vessel had been sunk off' MontaukPoint, under circumstances which ought naturallyto arouse suspicion as to the character of the shipand the designs of the party scuttling her. UnitedStates Marshal Renders, immediately on receivingthis information,'despatched Deputy'De Ansrelis, toSag Harbor, to ascertain what fact's he could in re-gard to the matter. Mr. De Angelis shortly re-turned, and reported that a large fine clipper" shinhad been scuttled off Montauk Point; the crew haddispersed into different parts of the country, withthe exception of one, who had died of the Africanfever and been buried at New London. MarshalRynders, upon hearing these facts, dispatched De-puties O'Keefe and Theodore Rynders, in search ofthe crew of the scuttled ship. They were not longin finding out that three of the men were in thiscity. A sharp lookout was kept on these men tillearly last week, when they were arrested and im-prisoned.

The fact of their arrest was kept secret., so thatthose who were still at large would not ho put ontheir guard and abscond from justice. The namesof those who were engaged in the expedition weregained, and upon further information, and afterconsultation with the United States District Attor-ney, Marshal Rynders concluded to send the depu-ties to Boston in search of the remainder of thecrew. On arriving at Boston the deputies foundtwo more of the crew, who were placed in tempo-rary charge of the proper authorities. The officersthen went to New Bedford, near which place theyarrested the first mate, at his house. The mate'sname is Macomber, and he was in command whenthe vessel was sent t here.

The deputies then returned to Boston and fell inwith several very amiable personages, who were sosociable to the officers that thev began to suspecttheir character and designs. Their suspicions wereright, for they learned shortly afterwards that thesegentlemen were friends of the slavers, and had ob-tained a writ ot habeas corpus to serve upon them,for the purpose of having the prisoners brought up.A hack was procured, and the deputies and theirprisoners jumped in. Jehu cracked his whip, andoff they fiew to the railroad station, which theyreached just in time to take the cars for New York,successfully escaping the service of the writ uponthem. They arrived earlv on Sunday morning,and at once proceeded to Marshall Render's resi-dence in Henry street, and he ordered the prisonersto be locked up in Eldridge street jail,to await ex-amination.

The prisoners keep very silent on the matter, sothat but little information has been obtained fromthem. We are, however, able to give the followingfacts in regard to the matter: ?lt has hoen statedthat the name of the scuttled ship is "Elizabeth, ofNew Orleans." Such is not the case. Her propername is "Haidee, of New York." The reason whyshe was published in the newspapers a few dayssince as the Elizabeth, of New Orleans, is veryreadily explained by the fact that the persons scut-tling her had nailed a piece of canvass upon herstern, upon which was painted in large letters,"Elizabeth, of New Orleans."

The Haidee sailed from this port in January lastfor Gibraltar. From Gibraltar she went to Cadiz,and from Cadiz to the coast of Africa. There shetook in a cargo of slaves and made for the WestIndia Islands. She landed them?93o in number?-near Cardenas, in the island of Cuba. The vesselthence sailed for Havana, where the captain, ownersof the ship and cargo, left her. Nottiing has beenheard of them since, and nothing is now known asto their whereabouts.

The mate, Macomber, and the rcrew, were sentout to sea in the vessel; the mate took charge ofher as captain. He told the crew when they startedthat they were going to New Orleans. After thefirst day out he told them the ship had no papers,so he did not know where they were gotng. Heasked them what they had better do, or where theyhad better go. They told him that they did notcare wh re they went; that he could go where hehad a mind to. The mate then steered north, andmade Montauk Point, Long Island, in the afternoon.The parties then tacked, and stood out from landtillafter dark, then approached the shore, scuttledthe ship by boring holes in hcrsides, took the boats,and went ashore, one boat in one direction, theother boat in another.

The sailors are Portuguese, the mate is an Amer-can. The men state that the reason the vessel wasscuttled was, that she had no papers by which shecould enter an}' port.

The Marshal understands that the remaining por-tion of the crew have left the country, and ha 3consequently given up further chase after them.?He thinks he has done his duty in doing what hehas. The examination of the parties will takeplace in the course of a few days. Mr. P. J. Joa-chimssen, ex-assistant United States District At-torney, has been retained as counsel for the pris-oners.

United States Marshal Renders will dispatch acompetent person to Montauk Point to-day, to seeif the Haidee is worth raising. Ifshe is. the Mar-shal intends to have her up.? -Vac York Herald.

MOSLEM DISTURBANCES IX STRIA.[From the 80-iton Travel er.]

We have late private advices from Syria, fromwhich it appears that the troubles there are by nomeans at an end. It is now certain that the Mus-sulmans are doing all in their power, bv everymeans, to resist the reforms initiated by the Sultanand more especially those which tend to the preju-dice of their faith. Europeans are objects of theirpeculiar hatred. Insurrections are feared in every

city where the Franks have any foothold. At Al-exandria the residents live in constant fear of arising of the Arabs and the burning of the city.News of murders in all part 3 of the country is con-stantly being received. The cruelties practised atJiddah and Jaffa are being repeated inmany small-er places. Routes that were formerly safe are nowconsidered as impassible, and the whole country isnow an unsafe residence for Europeans.

The whole power of the Sultan and of the Pashasis exerted to its fullest extent to produce quiet, butonly has thus far resulted in turning the rage of the

fanatics against the existing Government, and ingiving rise to a plot for dethroning the Sultan andgiving the scepter to his brother. So well knownis this plot that a number of the Embassadors toConstantinople have given out that Europe will notrecognise the title of the Sultan's brother in theevent of a successful termination of the rebellion.

Our last advices from Alexandria show a horriblestate of things. Our correspondent says: "Therewe heard of the murder of many Franks by the fa-natical Mussulmans; and the report reached us thatthe Turks had secreted 5,000 muskets at one time,ane 20,000 at another, in their mosques, to be usedin a general rising for the destruction of the Franksand Christian residents of the city."

We have seen a letter from Beyrout of late date,in wliiuh it is stated that the American Consul forthat place arrived there about the middle of Julywith his tamily. and that the raising of the flag ofthe Consulate, i'or the first time in sixteen months,was a pleasant sight for the American residents.The trial of the Jcfl'a criminals was then in pro-gress; and it was regretted that the Dixon family,whose numbers were thinned by the Arabs there,had returned to America, as itwas feared that someof the miscreants might escape punishment by lackof means for their indentification. It willbe recol-lected that the remainder of this family, who belongin Massachusetts, reached Boston but a few dayssince.

A rumor of disturbances at Mount Lebanon hadreached Beyrout, and the Pasha there, who is onlysecond in dignity to the Grand Vizier, had, uponthe representations of the Consuls at that place, dis-patched a troop of soldiers to quell the rebellion, aswell as to protect the foreigners. A number of mis-sionaries on their way to different parts of Pales-tine were at Beyrout awaiting the execution of theJaffa criminals, fearing that it might cause a gen-eral insurrection throughout the country, and pre-ferring to remain under the protection of the gunsof the men-of-war collected in the harbor.

The writer of the above mentioned letter, whichis dated Aug. 11, says :

"An English man-of war arrived here yesterday,and a French man-of-war came last week. A Turk-ish frigate stationed here sailed for Tripoli a fewdays since, whore an outbreak was rumored to havecommenced. Next week, it is expected that therewill be six steamers in the harbor; so, if a generalrising should take place we can escape. There arealso about 40 sail of merchant vessels in the har-bor, of all nations except our own. We need anAmerican man-of-war here, and expect one as soonas the exigencies of the public service will permit."

NEWS FROM VENEZUELA.[ Correspondence of the N. T. Herald. ]

EAOUAYRA, Sept. 7, 1858.General Monagas and J. Gutierrez, sailed from

this port the 31st August, on board the nationalbrig San Pedro, in compliance with decrees of Gen.Castro.

The convention alluded to in the decrees was con-cluded by Mr. M. Berrisbeitia, Minister of State ofthe Republic of Venezuela, and Generrl CarlosSoublette, Chief of the Staff of his Excellency Gen.Castro, and Mr. F. Ormo, in the name of the Vice-Adniiral Count Gueydon, Commander-in-Chief ofthe allied squadrons (French and English,) at La-guayra.

Mr. Orme is the new English Charge d'Affaires.By the said convention it was agreed:?1. lo send General Monagas out of the territory

of the republic.2. io surrender Gutierrez to the French Lega-

t'?. at the disposal of the Venezuelan government,that he might be tried unless the Executive powerlndulted hitn.

3. lo try Gusseppi, for his peculations, extor-tions, Ac.4. lo submit to the friendlv and fair discussion of

the government withthe legations, the indemnitvtor the bearer of despatches detained at Laguavra,

and the indemnity for the family of a French sub-ject murdered in Caracas.

5. lo withdraw the allies' squadron from La-guayra, as soon as the convention should be signed.Signed in Laguayra the 28th August, 1838.By the decrees alluded to in the above letter,

Monagas was to be sent out of the country, and hisbanishment to last until the Convention or the Na-t>onal Congress should decide otherwise.

lhe decree in no way to interfere with the pecu-niary responsibility which he should have incurredfor acts during his administration,i ',a ,ci.nto Gutierrez was pardoned, but remainsvanished from the territory of ttic republic, untilthe Convention or Congress should have decidedotherwise.

1 he provision as to pecuniary responsibility isthe same in both cases. 'Giuseppi remains in prison.A correspondent of the Piano, of Havana, says:. peaceful and respectable Venezuelans showthemselves very much indebted to the persons who

interfered in the honorable settlement of the pend-ing dillicultyrelative to the Monagas affair?to MrOrme, representative of Great Britain, and to theCount de Gueydon, vice admiral of France; on thepart of Venezuela to the provisional President Cas-tro, to General Carlos Soublette, Dr. Mauritio Ber-risbeitia, and lastly to Sr. Garcia de Quevedo, rep-resentative of Spain, and Sr. Pereira Leal, repre-sentative of Brazil, who interposed their good of-nccs. "

Monagas and Gutierrez left on the 31st of Au-gust from Laguayra for Martinique, on board thebrig San Pedro, which was towed to sea by theLritish war steamer Buzzard, Col. C. Mirichenaccompanying them.On the morning of the 28th, his Excellency the

1 rovisional President, accompanied by his staff, sotout for Laguavra, where he arrived at half-pastseven to herald the re-establishment of peace be-tween Venezuela, England and France. In La-guayra the news of the arrival of General Castrobeing known at half-past six in the morning, a pub-lic proclamation announced that the visit of hisExcellency should be worthily celebrated. In Mai-quetia several persons on horseback joined the suiteoi the General, and the immense majority of thepopulation of Laguayra were assembled near theCustom House to receive him. All the streetswere, as if by enchantment, decorated with theflags of all nations; there were artillery salutes,and in the night was made brilliant fireworks. Somany joyous demonstrations were an evident proofof the high satisfaction shared by the entire popu-lation.

General Castro was lodged in a private house,from tin? balcony of which he addressed the assein-bled people in a brief, but expressive speech, where-in lie congratulated them on the re-establishmentot peace and good relations with England andFrance. As liis visit was quite unexpected, fiftypersons immediately opened a subscription of twen-ty dollars each to offer a banquet to his Excellencyand his suite, to which were also invited the French\ ice Admiral, Countde Gueydon, Mr. Lcvrand, Mr.Orme. the commanders of the war ships in the port,the Dominican General, Buenaventura Baez, theconsuls and officers of the garrison.

The banquet was very cordial, and toasts werebrought out in favor of the prosperity of the coun-try and the continuation of the good intelli-gence between the Venezuelan republic and thetwo great Western Powers of Europe, which, in-stead of a transitory enmity, now offered their en-lightened assistance for the devclopement of vari-ous industrial enterprises.

Notwithstanding the financial crises, and ofcourse a great want of money, Senor Montufar hassucceeded in completing the telegraphic line toPuerto Cabello. Ifpeace continues we shall soonhave not only electric telegraphs in all directions,but also railroads. Several rich strangers are dis-posed to enter into whatever enterprise of this kindmay promise good results.

Several of the individuals complicated in the lastplan ofrevolution have been set at liberty; on theother hand, a number of persons who seem to bevery much compromised in the matter have beenimprisoned in the Principal According to trust-worthy accounts received here, the faction whichhad raised the banner of rebellion in Guanaritohas been completely routed. Thus tranquility isfullyre-established in Venezuela.

ARMY INTELLIGENCE.It is determined by the War Department to

augment the forces now serving in the departmentsof the Pacific and Oregon, and it is expected thatin a few days upwards of one thousand men will beconcentrated at Governor's Island for that pur-pose.

I'he regiments now serving in those departmentsare as follows: First dragoons. Major A. H. Blakecommanding; Fourth Infantry, Lieut.-Col. T. Mor-ris commanding; Sixth Infantry, Lieut.-001. GeorgeAndrews commanding; Ninth Infantry, Col. GeorgeWright commanding.

A board of officers, consisting of Captain O. E. |Pickett, Ninth Infantry; Captain J. Gorgus, Ord-nance Department; Brevet Major T. T. S. Laidley, jOrdnance Department; Lieutenant H. IS. Clitz,Third Infantry, and Lieutenant I). 11. Manry, j.Mounted Riflemen, have been ordered to assemble (at the Washington Arsenal for the purpose of ex-amining recent improvements in small arms. The iHoard arc directed to report to the Wr ar Depart- jment, through the Ordnance Bureau, with such re- |marks and opinions as they may deem proper, and !to be governed by the provision in the Army Ap-propriation act of June 12, 1858.

The following assignments to duty of officers in :the medical department have been directed by the |Secretary of War: Surgeon Madison Mills, to"Fort jLeavenworth, Kansas; Surgeon John W. Cuvler toI'ort Monroe, Va.; Surgeon N. S. Jarvis to St. An-tonio, Texas, there to assume the duties of medical jdirector; Assistant Surgeon R. Potts, to Fort Kip- |ley, Min.; Assistant Surgeon A. J. Meyer to Baton jRouge, La.

Second Lieut. John S. Saunders, Second artillery, 'is transferred to the Ordnance Department, anddirected to report accordingly to the Colonel of \Ordnance, by whom willbe placed on duty at 1the Washington Arsenal.? N. Y. /.V. Punt.

The correspondent of the New York Time*, writ- iing from Cainp Floyd, U. T., under date of Sept, .2, !says:?Major Eastman arrived about a fortnight Isince, with several hundred recruits for the Fifth jInfantry. The regiment, which was a mere skele-ton hitherto, on account of the large number of jdischarges on expiration of enlistment, is now com-paratively full, averaging more than sixty men per jcompany. The new recruits are drilled daily, andthe regiment willsoon be in a high state of effici-ency. Major Eastman commands; the colonel, Col. jLoomis, having been until recently on duty in |Florida; and the lieutenant-colonel, Col. W aite, \having recently left on leave of absence.

Capt. Anderson, of the Second Dragoons, arrived ion the 20th ult., with a few recruits for his regi-ment. 1lis little party was all that remained of theSecond Column of the reinforcements for the Utah

| Army, after reaching Fort Laramie, and leaving 1I the garrison for that post. He brings some fewI horses, but they are in no better condition thanthose that have been grazing among the hills andcanons bordering upon Cedar Valley.

Owing to the inabilityof the Quartermaster's De-partment to obtain the requisite amount of forage,

) the horses willbe herded among the different val-leys again this winter, and no one looks forward to

| the duty of guarding the herds with any degree of! pleasure. A wandering life among these moun-

I tains, with a tent for protection against the stormsof winter, is bv no means an agreeable one to con-template; besides, great vigilance w illbe necessary,on account of the Indians, who are in the habit ofpenetrating among the settlements and driving offstock inconsiderable numbers.

One squadron of dragoons willbe kept up, in orderto be ready for any emergency which may arise.?Stables will be erected for them, and the horsesmust eat wheat, barley and oats, mixed, at $1.50 perbushel.

The Indians fired upon a party of Saints, whowere cutting hav in (tush valley, a fortnight since,and Lieutenant Tyler, with one hundred mountedmen. was dispatched to the valley of Serier Riverto find their camp, and bring in the Chiefs for atalk: but altera trip of eight days ho returned,without having found any sign.

The whole command is now busily occupied inhauling timber for the Cantonment, to which wewill soon move. The present plan is to erect adobebuildings and cover them with boards with twoinches of earth on the top. It is optional with themen whether they build these houses themselves,the adobes and lumber being furnished, or whetherthey will take the Hibley tent, raised upon a wallsome three or four feet high. The majority electthe house?in fact there are no companies whichwere at Camp Scott last Winter desirous of tryinga life in tents over again. By the present arrange-ment each officer will be allowed one room fifteenfeet square. Though this is rather a limited accom-modation, yet I think it will be found quite as muchas their present limited allowance of furniture willequip.

Captain Simpson of, the Topographical Engi-neers, left some days since with an escort of anofficer and twenty mounted men, to make a recon-naissance in the direction of Fort Itridger, throughthe Provo Canon; the object being to ascertainwhether a shorter route may not be found thanthe present one through Echo and Emigration Ca-nons.

The Sixth Infantry were to have left Fort Bridg- 1er for Oregon, on the 20th ult. Itwill be remem-bered that they came over the road surveyed by ILieutenant Bryan, which they pronounce favorably ,upon as far as Bridger's Pass, but thence to Fort |Bridger the route is only adapted to small parties,on account of the scarcity of the water and grass. INevertheless, two companies of the Fourth Artil-lery have been ordered to the Cheyenne Pass, withinstructions to build a post.

We now have every prospect of an abundant sup-ply of subsistence stores the ensuing winter. Therestriction upon the ration was removed for thefirst time since last fall, on the Ist inst. We harebeen abundantly supplied with the vegetables of theseason by the Saints, but at enormously high pri-ces. Numbers of the Mormons are now seeking em-ployment from the Government, having caught aglimpse of the coin which is beginning to circulateamong them. Men who have fine farms, and canspare a month from the farm labor, seek employ-ment in any capacity for that time in order to ob- jtain the wherewith to purchase winter clothing for |themselves and families.?

FORT LARAMIE, N. T., Sept. 5. |The Company of Sappers and Miners, command- !

i ed by Lieut. Duane, D. S. Engineers, arrived here] from Bridger on the 30th August and left on the '2d for the east. When they came out from the I

i States they brought with them seven wagon loads j. of pioneer's tools?such as spades, picks, axes, saws j

and augers?and now they are taking them all back, jalthough they are greatly needed in U;ah, and iothers could be purchased at West Point (the destination of the company) for one-fourth the cost of

i carrying these back. The reason assigned for thiscourse of conduct is that the tools belong to the

j Engineer bureau, and there is no officer of that corps[ left to take charge of them. One would suppose a

Xo grain can be got, ofcourse, and if tlie grass fails, the animals muststarve. The new road opened byLieutenant Bryanpasses about seventy-five miles south of here, and issixty miles shorter than this route: the ascents arealso more gentle, and it is less likely to be blockedwith sno\v than this road, hut grass is extremelyscarce, being confined to the immediate banks ofstreams, and the water, particularly down BitterCreek (a tributary of Green river.) is bad.?Bryan's road is preferable for mail riders and smallparties of travelers, but all large trains must con-tinue to travel up the North Fork of the Platte andalong the Sweetwater.

Companies L and SI, 4th Artillery, will leavehere about the 15th inst. to establish a militarypostat the head of Lodge Pole Creek, where Bryan'sroad strikes the Black Hills. Grass and timber aremuch more abundant on the head waters of Medi-cine Bow River (a hundred miles farther west,) butit is too late in the season to get there and erectbuildings; in fact nothing but huts can be put upthis fall on Lodge Pole Creek. The order for theestablishment of the new post was delayed on theroad at least three weeks, and our first informa-tion was derived from the address, or one of theübiquitous printed copies of Russell, Major & Wad-dell s contract.

The cost of maintaining troops, particularly cav-alry, out here, is enormous. 'Corn at this post coststhe" government more than six dollars a bushel.Just before theclose of Mr. Davis's career as Secre-tary of War, he issued an order breaking up thispost, and Fort Kearney intending (1 think wisely)to send expeditions out to the plains every summer,to awe the Indians, and in the fall when "the grassfailed, to recall the troops to Fort Riley and FortLeavenworth where forage is cheap. Infantrygarrisons are less expensive, but they are totallyuseless, probably injurious. Both hereand at Kear-ney the Indians have driven oft' the governmentherd in broad daylight, and in full view of the

"doughboys," who could only watch them fromtheir barracks, because they had no animals withwhich to follow in pursuit."

A train of seventy-five government wagons,loaded with clothing for the troops in Utah, ar-rived here yesterday in thirty days from FortLeavenworth. This is prett}- fast traveling, but itis necessary, for the supply of clothing in Utah is

exhausted.In Gen. Smith's minute instructions for the move-

ment of the reinforcements for Utah, contained in

his order of the 3d of May, the allowance for trans-portation for troop was tixed at the minimum, andofficers and soldiers were prohibited from taking

their families, on the pretext that the service wastemporary,and that most of the reinforcementswould speedily return to Fort Leavenworth. He

also promised that those who did not return should

have sent to theio, from Fort Leavenworth, a very

liberal supply of baggage, Ac. Out ot four regi-

ments that marched, one has been ordered back; themembers of the other three can indulge the hope ofmeeting their families sometime after Russell, Wad-dell and Floyd retire; and if any officer among themstill thinks it is necessary to change his shirt oftenerthan once a week, he can enjoy that felicity by pur-

chasing a couple of "hickories" of the sutler at anadvance on St. Louis prices of from 300 to 1,000percent.

A few days since a delegation of Sioux calledupon our commanding officer to complain that they

were unable to communicate freely withtheir agent,

because he lives near the Crows, who arc at enmitywith the Sioux. They obtained no satisfaction. ?

These Indians live bv hunting antelope and by beg-ging. A band of them have established their vil-lage near the fort. Their lodges are made of coni-cal arrangements of poles covered with dressedbuffalo skins. One of these Indians, named TheSwimmer, died of appoplexy recently. He bore avery strong resemblance to General Cass; so strongin fact, that everybody observed it. The Sioux tietheir dead in the branches of trees, but Swimmerwas so heavy they interred him.

Our gardens have produced nothing. Either ex-

cessive rain, continuous drought, or the grasshop-pers, make horticulture a failure three years out of

four. Some mountaineers and Indian traders have

attempted to raise corn, but they cannot succeed.

FROM PIKE'S PEAK GOLD REGION.The Occidental (Independence) Messenger, of the

25th ult., says : "Several gentlemen arrived at thisplace on Thursday last, direct Irom the Oold minesnear Pike's Peak. The parties live in Ray county,Mo., and have spent several months prospecting forgold in these mines. They state that as many as150 persons had been at the mines this summer, and

had explored and prospected them to their heart'scontent. This party represent that nearly all hadabandoned the mines, they being about the last toleave. They say that gold certainly exists in thatwhole section of country, as they never tried at anypoint but they succeeded in washing out a smallquantity from the dirt, but the yield was so smallthat it'would not pay the miners at work whilethey were there, not averaging as ranch as fiftycents per day. The gentlemen intend when theyarrive at home, inRay, to publish an account oftheir adventures and success in the mines, togetherwith the prospects and inducements for others togo."

The Lawrence (Kansas) Republican, of the 23d

ult., says: "During the past week there hare beenseveral arrivals in town from the gold regions ofthe Rocky Mountains. From Mr. Baker, who wasone of the original Lawrence company, we learnthat that company have gone to the Spanish Peaksinstead of Cherry Creek. The Spanish Peaks arein New Mexico, about six days journey south frontPike's Peak. The Lawrence company have beenencamped nearly all summer at Pike's Peak, andhave sent prospecting companies intoall the coun-try reuml about. They found gold in all thestreams, hut not in sufficient quantities to proveprofitable mining with their present facilities. Mr.Baker is confident that there arc rich deposits ofgold in that region, and that, with the proper fa-cilities for mining, it could be made to pav well.He confirms the account that there is a Georgiacompany at work on Cherry Creek. It is from thisGeorgia company that the arrivals of gold to Kan-sas City have been received. The Lawrence com-pany have gone to Spanish Peaks, and will proba-bly winter in New Mexico."

A correspondent of the N.Y. Evening Post,writingfrom Cambridge, Mass., says : The friends of Har-vard University in New York willprobably be sur-prised and certainly will regret to hear'that thoHon. Joel Parker, Royal Professor in the LawSchool, contemplates resigning bis high and honor-able position. Judge Parker was called t.O thechair which he has so well and happily filled,about twelve years ago, succeeding to some of thebranches previously taught by Mr. Justice .Storv.Prior to this he was for several years Chief Justiceof New Hampshire, and the legal eommunitv willwell remember his signal triumph over Judge Storywhen the Supreme Court nt Washington gave theirsanction to his construction of the Bankrupt Lawsof 1841, and disapproved of the rulings in the Dis-trict Court, held by Storv.

Judge Parker's loss will be severely felt, and therewillbe great difficulty in securing'a successor aslearned and distinguished as he. Judge Thoivas ofWorcester, a present justice of the Supreme Courtof Massachusetts, has been tendered the office, butprefers to remain in the position he now occupies.It is uncertain to whom the tender will next bemade. Ex-Governor Washburn and Hon. Theopi-lus Parsons continue to give great satisfaction inthe Law Department, and the bar will soon re-ceive from the latter gentleman a valuable treatisein two volumes, on Maritime Law, the Law of In-surance and the Practice of Admiralty.

The venerable president, Dr. James Walker, stillretains his seat at the head of the University ' not-withstanding the numerous reports of last year an-nouncing his intention to resign, and the "contestsof rival candidates for the succession. In the eventof his resignation. Prof. Felton and Hon. Robert 0.Winthrop would be prominent candidates for theposition.

Very soon we shall expect the first volume of astandard history of New England, from the pen ofHon. John O. Palfrey Since retiring from politi-cal lite, Mr. Palfrey has been collection- valuableand rare materials for his work, which, jud-nno-from a perusal of a few of the proof-sheets and" thereputation of the author as a scholar and historian,will constitute by far the most attractive and ju-diciously written history of New England that hasyet appeared.

WATER IS THE TEXAS DESERT.? The project of ob-taining water on Llano Estacado, by means of \rte-sian wells, has proved a failure. The appropriationhas been used up, and Captain Pope has abandonedhis machinery and returned to his regular duty irthe army. Water was reached, to be sure, in somtof the borings; but it was of very bad quality, ancwould nowhere rise nearer to the surface than ihundred and eighty feet.
