THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. TUESDAY, MAY 4, I860. I3T3W TTOItKISElg. jVein Our Own Correspondent. Nsw Tone, May 4, I8f. Mr. Mumler, the man with the phantom-photo-rraphs, has created aa mnch sensation In hlit way a Ike "man with the wax Aggers" did In his, when Mr. Mwln Adams first Introduced him to the Philadel phia public He put In his defense at the Tombs junto Court yesterday morning, and Indulged in spiteful badinage at the expense of Marshal Tooker, Uo gentleman who, Instlguted by Mr. Hickle of the World, visited his rooms under an assumed natno, a4 was, comparatively speaking, a wolf in sheep'a .clothing all through the process of phan tomlzlng The spirit which, in obedience to th experiment, appeared beside th.3 Incredulous Tooker was, said Mumler, the most vil lainous that he hil t ever raft ryes npmi ; but still he accounted for this, he added, by reflecting that it was doubtless the one most In sympathy with the title." If we arc to accept Mumler'H version, he eommenced photographing phantoms because the phantoms came. They cuisjlit him one Sundiiy afternoon, right years ago. when hi; was all alone by himself In the photograph gallery of amend In the fity of Boston, taking his own picture. He was as tonished to llnd, on examining the plate, that a spirit-form wits standing beside his own. That hour was the commencement of spiriuphotography in the Mumler history. His friends rushed In at the intelli gence, clamoring for phantom-photographs, and threatening to make a phantom of him if he refused. They dead-headed him for dead-heads; they made a dead set at him for a set of dead features. To use Miun lr'e own words. In their search after Immateriality, they forgot that he was material, and lie found he must either charge or close shop. Dreadful as the alternative was, he resolved to make a slight charge ten dollars. In conclusion, he thinks he Is a poor abused old man. liiirnum has gone back on him, and fcc was not allowed to collect evidence from abroud (strange how much evidence there always is abroad In these cases!) If I might be allowed a remark or my own, I would merely say that tu a few days It Is possible Mumler'8 gallery will be opened, and the proverb that all the fools are not dead yet meot with abundant refutation. He has hud alllve counsel, with nothing sleepy about him. The prose cution may have played the part of "Souinatubula," but the "phantom chorus" of the defense was very vigorous. The newspaper press is lamenting the death of Mr. C. B. Seyinonr, who hud been connected with Hie daily Time for the last eighteen years. For a long period Mr. Seymour was the dramutle and musical editor of that Journal, bat latterly he had confined is duties exclusively to the dramatic department. He was English by birth, but American in sentiment, and at the time of his death was in his fortieth year. His illness was very brief, and his death was ex tremely sudden. His friends revert mournfully to the bright conversations they held with him only a week ago, when he referred so antlcipatively to his ntended visit to the forthcoming Boston Musical Festival. His disease was that rare one, rheuma tism of the brain. As a critic, Mr. .Seymour had more conscience than moat critics (even those of Mew York!) possess. There was no "oyster-supper-tam" In his animadversions, no champagne and chicken-salad windiness In his praise. He ground no axes, and his good opinion was not to be bought. Of the scores of applicants for his late position very few will unite his knowledge of music with his adroit manipulation of English, and his consistent purpose In speaking the truth. Apropos of the newspaper changes which his death will occasion, I may say that the rumors which have for some weeks been gaining ground to the effect that Mr. Wlllinm Winter intends to retire from the dramatic editorship of the Tribune are without, foundation. Mr. Wiuter has as little reason to be dissatisllcd with the excellent position he holds upon that newspaper as its stockholders and the public nave to be dissatlsiled with him. He has been ill lately, and on that account has not been seen as much as he usually is at places of public entertain ment, nor heard quite as often as is his wont in the Tribune columns. Mr. Aujrustin Daly, however, has permanently retired from the dramatic editor Khip of the Time, and Aw place is most admirably upplled by a very young but very able gentleman, Mr. F. W. Schwab, who unites to the advantages of a foreign residence and education some years' in timate experience of the musical and dramatic cir cles of this city. He writes very neatly and perspi cactoiiHly, expressing the conclusions of a correct taste and conscientious intelligence, in concise and lucid, and occasionally elegant, language. (leneral Patrick II. Jones, the new Postmaster, showed his face yesterday morning around at the Post Office, and it is to be wished the latter lias been new as well as the postmaster. Mr. Kelly received him with official blandncss, took him all round the building, and introduced him to the heads of depart ments. 1 hope Postmaster .Jones maintained his Hpirits all through the of deal, but I greatly fear me. To contemplate our post office, inside or out, i9 not a cheering relaxation. I would as soon assort letters In a charnel-house, and dispense stamps from a tomb, as be a clerk under the present regime at Nassau and Liberty streets. Postmaster Jones takes formal possession next Monday. So does the Hon. William A. Darling of the Inter nal Collectorship of the Ninth district. He visited his office, in West Forty-fourth street, yesterday morning, for the first time, expressed himself pleased (which in itself is pleasant), and appointed his brother, Mr. Samuel k. Darling, ueputy L'oiiec tor. The new Assessor of the Ninth district, ;cne ral A. P. Kctcham, likewise commeuced his iuitia tion yesterday morning. A number of removals in all these departments is cxultingly and depressiugly anticipated, according WH0 ,0 move out and who is to move in. Sangall, the danHeime, who has sprinkled Hmnptii. Dumpty with Terpslchoretin drops ever since that pantomime was first produced here, more than a year ago, Intends to "develop" a sensation m-xt Saturday evening at her bene tit. Every one knows that San- iruJi Is a fine dancer, almost a great dancer. Few know that she is a fuir singer, such is the lact, how ever, and the young lady, having shown New York what she can do with her legs, is about to illustrate for its satisfaction what she can achieve with her lungs. The song she has selected is "Home, Sweet Home," and if her toes and her trachea are at all on a par, or perhaps I should say a ji,with one another, the sensation will be periectiy jtistiuea.

Horrible Atrocities on Neltlcr-Wholeiale Mn nulitcr -A While Child Cooked nnd Kiiten. A writer from Kidney (Australia) dating his cor respondence on the 27th of February, savs: The settlers In Feejce are again lit serious danger, in consequence of "native troubles." Last month I sent on news to the effect that Th. kombau had started (Th a second expedition to punish the Inte rior tribes of Vitl Ix;vn ("the Navosa tribes) for their niany outrages upon whites and his own subjects, more especially for the murder and eating of Mr. Baker and Ills seven native nsslBtaut mis sionaries, and for the cowardly murder by steulth of the Nawalga tribe, who had co operated with him in his campaign against them in the early part of 1808. This expedition has been less successful than that of last year, and has inflamed and emboldened Instead of awed the ob streperous Navosa men. Thakombau has been com pelled to return to the coast, and In despair of maintaining his authority by his own unaided ex ertions, hus made a cull for live hundred white volunteers. There are now a thousand or fifteen hundred white settlers In various parts of the Fee jce group, whose very existence is dependent to a great cxteut upon the continuance of the undis puted sway all over the Isluuds of the Vuna Vulu; and it is most probable that many of these will accept his Invitation to engage in a grand decisive campaign against the cannibals of the Interior. Thakombau promises, in event of the enterprise being crowned with success, to apportion gratuitously among the white volunteers a large slice of the lands of the Navosa men. If any captives are taken they will be reduced to u condition of slavery uud leased our to planters at extremely moderate rates. A shilling (twentv-flve cents) is the figure named, the money to be paid to Thakombau for the benefit of the Fuejeean public treasury. Something at any rate must be done soon or the whites must leave the islands. The Navosa men have ulready begun their work of carnage. After Thakom bau had abandoned his last abortive campaign they came down to a place called Sagunu, the chief place on the Bar coast west of Vita Levu, where there Is a native town and a cotton plantation held by Messrs. Burt Ic Underwood. The uttack was intended to be a surprise, but luckily a boy.who had ariseu at daylight to pick cotton, saw them coming und gave the alarm. A palisade hud previously been erected In anticipation of an attack, and to this humble fortification most of the whites and natives betook themselves with all possible speed. Home, however, discredited the boy's story, and paid for their incredulity with their lives. Two children, three women, nud thirteen men seve ral of the latter being imported South Sea Island laliorers were killed, und six others were wounded. The Sagunu people, however, soon rallied, killed lour of their assailants in the town, and following up their advantage, succeeded iu driving them out uud kill ing four others us they fled. The legs and arms of the latter were chopped off and buried with the bodies of the four men who hud fallen in the town. The native teacher and the chapel steward were among the wounded, the former getting a couple of bullets in his thigh, und the latter being severely clubbed. But the worst of the story has yet to be told. Messrs. Burt A Underwood's pluce had been sur rounded by a separate party of the Navosa men, and Mr. Burt find his overseer were both severely clubbed, the latter so seriously that his life was despaired of. Mr. Underwood, with Mr. Burt's little boy und six ol the Tuuna laborers, were captured, and preparations were made at once to hold a anuibal carnival. The Tauna men and the little lioy were in lact cooked nnd eaten right uiider the eves of Mr. Underwood, who seems to have been reserved as a specially dainty morsel to close tne banquet. fine tne oven wus icing pre pured to roust him, however, he managed ) escape, -j ne plantation was destroyed, an tne live stock slaughtered, und cotton to the value of 10.000 burned. The remainder or the Tuuna labor ers have struck work, and have departed, suying, in South Sea Island F.nglish, "No more Tuuna rellow come Feelee. We no like htm eat we." News has been received that another town has een attacked and lllty loval natives killed, but no details have yet come to hand.

"The Iniinences which naturally tend to make gold desrer were unfortunately aided to-day by others of foreign origin. The excessive imports of the expired portion of tho year underlies the present strength of the premium, and a decline in bonds abroad started the price 111110 136',,', which is close upen the highest point touched the present year. As far as it is possible to ascertain, the cause of the sudden decline in London Is attributable to the receipt bv mall of Senutor Chandler's Intempe rate speech on the subject of the Alabama claims, while the higher price of gold also consti tutes a source of weakness. The opening price was bOV, from which there was a yielding to 80 and a re covery to SO1,, founded probubly upon a cuitner view of the speech and Its relative influence. There was considerable excitement over the advance In gold, but the price did not remain linn at its highest, the holders of the metal being desirous of realizing, and hence followed a reaction of a quarter to three eighths per cent, later in the day. The stock cliques were large purchasers ut the opening prices, which fact greatly stimulated the advance. "The abundance of cash gold was reflected in a total absenceof borrowing rates, the figures all rang ing on the carrying side of the table and fluctuating from 1 to 8 per cent. Transactions were very heavy and tne Clearing House to-ouy win snow some large numbers.

What Is a source of weakness at one nour is indirectly a source 01 strength In almost the next. This Is one of the curi ous features of the Government market The de cline in tionds put gold up.
