Goitil bye to her . ! She is homely enough, but her voice is that of a nightengalo and she is both good and, amiable. . Mr; Audubott , a California Party. The New Orleans Picayune, of 26th ultimo, gives some particulars offelr. Audubon's party, on the au thority of a gentleman just from the Rio Grande : They had not started on the 16th, but would be off in a very' few days. Of the $12,000 stolen from Mr• Audubon, $B,OOO in all have been recovered. A man who was generally supposed to have been im plicated in the robbery, was shot the other day by a man whose life he had threatened. The current ru mor was that the slayer knew too much about the robbery to be safe. He was suspected of having given the information by which $4,000 was recover. ed. His life had in consequence been threatened, and be was in truth hunted, but turned upon his pur suer, and shot him at sight in a bar room. The vic tim was an American, named Clark, who formerly held a commission in an Illinois Regiment—he had particularly distinguished himself at the battle of Buena Vista. The route to be pursued by Mr. Audubon's party, or perhaps we should say Lieutenant Browning's, for the latter had the militarycommand, was uncertain. They would:proceed at once to Durango. The fa vorite-idea was to reach the Gulf of California at some point north of Mazatlan, and cross over to Lo wer California and pursue their journey by land up that peninsula. The belief was that the road was ,quite practicable, and, save for two hundred miles, where the country was broken, an excellent one. Lieut. Browning belongs to the navy, but is ab sent on sick leave, with orders to report for duty to the commander o f squadron in the Pacific. Mr. Audubon Is a great favorite with his company; the company is represented as wanting in men arcs. tome& to frontier life. A Singular Case. Some of our readers may remember the case of the double suicide of the two Mr. Andrews, one in Mobile and the other in New Orleans. It appears that an action has been commenced in New Or leans, as we see by the Bee, by. Richard Valentine, claiming $2166 74 as the balance due on sales of cotton, and setting forth that. Z. Andrews had ah. sconded from that city after the failure of his house lit order to Ovoid his creditors, and that he is not dead. Re further alleges— = That Mrs. Esther Abrams, his wife, afterwards gave out to the world, and petending that her said husband Was - diad, Made application to this Court for letters ofailministration on his estate; which' were granted her. That she then eorribined with Mrs. Sally Andrews, whO 'resides in the city of Philadelphia, to cheat - and. defraud the creditors. That the claim of Sally Andrews to $14,600 is a fictitious.one, and prays that the judgment in her favor on ibe_pretended obligation of Andrews & Brother be set' aside, rind. that the sale of the pro. ,perty ou Camp . street., ordered by the Court to pay the debt, be enjoined. The -Bee says the tiody of Andrews was found in the river and identified after death. More r about Col. 'Fremont's Disasters. We find the following in the St. Louis.ftereillor of t 6 2Stit nit : •• , - Mr. Taplin, one of the set erers the disaster, which_ befel Colonel Free:loElPa party, is nowin this City: Be has entire! yreernited his health aPd-sti.one./1 and with true American perseverance Is making ar rangments fora second triarefa journey to Califor nia. The account he giveS of the terrible privations and seireringe endured by the party to which he was attached, corresponds in every particular with that of Colonel Fremont—the wretchedness of their con dition fora while, he says, passes human conception. Of the ten men who died, two, Messrs Wise and Andrews, were well known citizens of this place; Proue, was a native of France- ' Morain, a resident of Illinois, whose relations we believe are in Cabo kia; Beadle, •a resident of this county; Rhorer and King residents ofGeorgetown, District of Columbia; Hubbard, from MilWauke; and Carver, from Chicago. . The fate of Mr King, was moat heart rending—he was, aaya Mr Taplin, a man in the spring time of life, of cultivated mind, and of the most engaging manners. He had been married but two weeks pre vious to his departure on the expedition, .and was only a short time with the company ere he had gain ed the friendship and esteem of every member.— When Fremonve party bad first lost_their horses, a company of lour men, of which King. had been ap pointed leader, were despatched to the.settlements to procure succor. Sixteen days' after their depar ture, Fremont, (who having been impatient at their protracted stay, had determined to go himself in search of ‘ supplies) overtook them. He found Wil liams, Brackenridge and another scarcely able to proceed from exhaustion. King bad died, and his remains, which the party carried with them, had been more than half eaten up ny his companions. A dire necessity had left them no choice, and it was done in self protection. Up to nearly the day of his death, King had kept a journal,and the last entry written upon it is this— “ Dec 11—. This morning, as usual, I had a quarrel with Bill Williams. Nothing to eat—we travelled about one mile and a half to-day.” The cause of the difficulty with Williams was the- fatties daily increasing weakness, and his inability to proceed. King endeavored by remonstrances to urge him for. ward. Those in camp, among whom was Mr. Taplin,who survived, subsisted as best they could, on raw hide, but this, also, would have failed to sustain them, had not assistance arrived as soon as it did. The Reveille gives the following as a correct list: Survivors—Col Fremont and the boy Saunders, Williams, Breckenridge, Crutzefeldt, Godey, Prams, (his nephew,) Vincent Haler, Scott, Martis, Bacon, Berne tiny two brothers, Barthcart Captain, (Eng,) McKee, Stepperfeldt, Taplin, Manuel ane two In dian boys: Died—Proue, Wise, King, Carver, Level, Morin, Hubbard, Andrews, Kobrer and Beadle. From the Liverpool Times, 21st The Iron Trade. During the early part of last week, considerable distrust was exhibited by the merchants buyers of iron, as to the determination with which the nom inal advance of 20 shillings per ton in price would be carried out by the ironmasters at Birmingham; while, on the other hand, some of the manufacturers of the finer qualities were calculating that they should be able to secure rather better terms, as it was known that the Shropshire makers were decidedly firm, and that an advance of wages had been given, both there and in the Welsh district. It wa■ also rumored that in consequence of the busy state of the nail trade, a further advance was contemplated in nail rods; indeed, a report prevailed that £S per ton had been demanded by at least one house for the article. In consequence of these conflicting views, although the attendance at Wolverhampton on the 11th was equal to the usual average, buisinss was transacted languidly. The same impressions still obtained the following day, and for some time induced the proceedings of the meeting; but towards its close they very gradually relinquished and bar gains were more freely concluded, sell erscontenting themselves with supporting their previous position, and customers yielding with some show of 'reluc tance; and although a considerable portion of the business of the immediate home district was deferred until the following Saturday evening, and caution was throughout very generally the prominent feeling it was then pretty well cleared up at Dudley; and upon the whole, the result is allowed to be satisfac• tory, both as to orders and settlement of the various account,. With regard to the scotch iron trade, we may oh,. terve that at the commencement or the present month, In consequence or a speculative reeling, there was rather an improved demand for pig iron, which, having been freely met by holders, the price immediately gave way, and now rules 97s 6d to 48s mixed Nos, and 4Sseil to 495. all NO. t.

A New Infernal Machine. DIABOLICAL krrempr.—A most infamous at tempt was made on Friday last, at New York, to destroy the lives of Thomas Warner, Esq., and his family, the following account of which we make up principally from the New York Journal of Commerce : " It appears that on Thuranay night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, during Mr. Warner's absence from the city, a box was left at the door of his house, having on it written in a bold, business like band, though evidently disguised, " Thomas Warner, Faq 18 City Hall Place, confidential." The per son was evidently disguised, and his face appeared to have been blacked: Mr. W. did not return un til yesterday, and when he went home, was told of the box having been left there, and it formed the subject of conversation at dinner, and while engaged eating their dinner, the box was brought down into the basement. Mr. Warner bad previ ously given directions to his son, to open the box and see what it contained, but his suspicions being excited, he proceeded very carefully to open the box himself, and slowly drew the sliding lid from the box about half way, when he saw a blue and yellowish flame arise from it, and with the utmost presence of mind, be quickly called to his wife and son to leave the room, and then ran out himself Immediately afterwards an explosion took place, which shook the whole building, and the report was heard a long distance from the house. Mr. W. then returned to the room to ascertain the ex tent of the damage, when he found that it had partly blown down the partition wall, shattered one of the doors into pieces, and partly broke ano ther door. The lower sashes of both windows were entirely blown out, and the glass broken in to small fragments, and the crockery on the table broken into pieces. One of the pictures hangiug up in the room, appears to have been perforated by two balls. The fragments of the box, which were strewed all around the room, were then picked up, and it was ascertained that the box was made of mahogany, abbot a half an inch thick, with a sli ding cove-. On the inside of the cover was found a surface of sand fastened on glue, two large bun dles of loco-foco matches were found in the room, and the remnants of a tin powder canister that would hold a pound weight of powder From all which it would appear that the powder had been placed in the box, with some fuse made of cotton placed in the mouth of the canister, and the matches were so placed as to cause the lid to rub against them as it was drawn off, and thus ignite them. The rascal, when he left the box, said to the servant girl, in a disguised voice, " Hand this to Massa Warner." The authorities should offer an ample reward in addition to the $4OO offered by Mr. Warner, for the detection and conviction of the scoundrel. Suspicion has already fastened upon an individual who holds a high positin in the wealthy circles of the city, and every means will be used to probe the matter and bring the offender to justice." The Cotton Crop and the Frost. The southern newspapers teem with paragraphs detailing the injury done the cotton and sugar crops by the cold weather in the latter part of the last month. The consequence has been that holders of cotton in the north, do not offer to sell ; notwith- standing the Immense sales of New Orleans, aver. aging some 10,000 or 12,000 per day, prices remain in mercantile phrase .rstiffl ,, Whether the injury is as extensive as reported, wechave no means of judging, but much damage must have undoubtedly been done, as frost at any season of the year, after February, is very unusual so far south as latitude 32. —Perinsy/voniun.

The paragraph which we yesterday ccopied from the Jersey City Telegraph, about a lady in that city using an onion instead of a pin•cushon to stick her needles in, and finding the next morning that they all, had "tears in their eyes," called to mind an anecdote of the late John Quincy Adams, and Henry Clay. We do not recollect having ever seen it in print, but even if it has been, it will, we think, bear repetition: When thew jlistinguished statesmen were at Ghent, negotiating our treaty with Great Britain, they occupied a room together. Mr. Clay, who has always been a warm, admirer of female beauty had often remarked the comely looks of their chambermaid, and bad once or twice joked with Mr. Adams about it. One morning he arose some Lime after Mr. Adams, and on his way to the break fast table he met the' pretty maid referred to.-- Saluting her in his blandest style, and in his usual easy and graceful manner, while a smile played upon his countenance, he solicited the pleasure of a kiss. It may here be necessary to state that Mr. Adams' eyes always presented 'a watery ap pearance, which at times made him look as if in tears. The chambermaid, not knowing the cause we presume, replied to Mr. Clay, with the greatest simplicity, imaginable, "why, Mr. Clay, 1 do not like to disoblige you, but perhaps you will excuse me when I assure you that r have just refused Mr. Adams the same liberty, with tears is his ewe— We need not say that Mr. Clay had to much gal lantry to press his suit; but he subsequently met Mr. Adams, who joined him in a hearty laugh.— [Newark Eagle. Care for Cholera. EDINEURGII, April 9, 1849 The Britivh Ambassador, Lord Ponsonby, in a letter to his brother the Bishop of Derry, states that "to his own knowledge, dissolved camphor proved to be a certain cure for Cholera, both at Paris and in Germany; and if taken in time, the cure is gene. rally effected before it is possible to procure a phy sician—that is in loss than a hour.” In confirms. tion of this, .L P. Duncann, emineat cal authority, at- Edinbro , , states that he found fluid camphor by Ihr the most effectual preperation, and a manifest decrease of sickness, and of tramps, with rapid revival of spirits and circulation. A a preven tive be has supplied this fluid very extensively to the poor, and with marked advantages in restoring and progressing good digestion and nervous energy, es sential guards against Cholera.—Leeds Mercury. Pine Sheep. Our friends, Strcan & Reed, of Canton township, have just obtained from Connecticut, for their own use, some very fine Saxony Bucks and Ewes, impor ted from Germany. The Bucks are from the finest I flocks in Connecticut, and the Ewes were imported by Mr. 'reinter, of Hanford, who selected them from . the- most celebrated flocks in Europe. Messrs. Strean,&. Reed have goile to a heavy expence in making this valuable addition to the already fine stock of sheep in the county, and we trust they will be amply compensated for their nutlay-of limo and money. They offer for sale some of the Bucks which they have brought out, and the wool-growers of the county cannotdo better than avail themselves ofthe opportunity thus offered to improve the quality of their flocks.— Waskington.Commontreatth.

At Liverpool a remarkable case of breach of promise of marrage has lately been tried. The plantiff is verging upon 70 years, and the defen dant, a widow, is about 60. The court room was filled with spectators, among whom were several ladies. The evidence introduced kept the audi ence confused with laughter during the entire trial. The Judge, in summing up said that it was no doubt a case ofa breach of promise, but doubted whether there had been great injury to affections in the matter. The jury gave the plaintiff one farthing damages, and the court adjudged that he should pay his own costs.
