Havana, Anjr. 7. At 3. o'clock on Monday
nftcrnoon your correspondent started from Oli-
Van street for the barracks eust of Castle I'rin
cipe. The volunteers had decorated Calle
Mnralla and Mcreaderes with Spanish flu;s, to
dicer the spirits of the 400 colored militiamen
who were to embark at the l.uz wharf. When
I reached Canipo de Marte, 1 found that the
country einalry militia were formed and pre
pared for nn event. In view of tlie dissatisfac
tion prevalent anions the colored population
since it was decided to embark tli sir brethren,
(icneral De Kodus had taken all necessary pre
caution, at threatened points ol the city and
suburbs. To facilitate the embarkation the
licurocs had been amply nippl'ied with ruin, in
which they freely indulged from an early hour.
The black crowd" was immense from the Cal.ada
de la Kcina to the barracks, and at the latter
place occurred a most touching scene between
the t'Cirro soldiers nnd their relatives. The in
junction, "Don't tiirht against the boys," was
generally and publicly made bytliu latter, and
Mime disturbance beini; feared the inarch was
immediately ordered. I had been talking with
a friend who commanded one of the companies,
and who appeared much disgusted, and con
fessed that if any hope had thus far been enter
tained of the loyalty of the negroes to Spain, it
lniirbt at once be given up. Ho said he had
heard a son tell his mother that his country was
Cuba, he would fight for Cuba, and die for
Cuba. Some 40(H) to 5000 negroes opened
the march in front, and there were as many
more following behind, besides the relatives of
both sexes walking on both sides of the column.
Half-way down Calzada lleina the Spaniards
Miouted""Yiva Espana!" A negro responded,
'Viva la" Libertad! Viva the colored militia."
Then began a quarrel with the Spaniards, winch
ended in the murder of two of them and a negro.
I followed the crowd to Muelle I.tiz, and there
met four or five thousand more negroes debouch
ing from Calle Luz and Sol. There were then at
least 20,000 persons congregated between the
wharves of the old and new ferry-boats.
Another touching scene ensued during the
last farewell of the soldiers to their
relatives and friends. The volunteers get
ting impatient, ordered a charge,
to clear away for the embarking, and it was so
brutally executed that it created a panic, result
ing in the death of seven persons. Some forty
more were severely wounded, and many who
had jumped into tlie boats near the wharves
were nearly drowned. During the embarkation,
one of the militia-men, who had remained be
hind, and Indulged more than the others in
liquor, appeared at a street corner, shouting
"Viva Cespedes !" He was immediately fired
nt by a volunteer, who, not being satisfied with
simple murder, entertained himselt several
minutes by probing his body with a bayonet.
I have further trustworthy news from Nuc
Vltas, by a schooner, and from C'inco Villas, per
mail, and the wires. The schooner brought the
following despatch from Puello to Kodas:
"I am cramped, and forced to Increase tlie barri
cades In the streets of Puerto Principe. Every
Spaniard, Cuban, and negro of both sexes here, and
at Nuevitas, are insurgents, and well posted upon
all that is gofDtr on in Havana and tlie States. The
Cubans shuke hands with their slaves, who say their
masters have freed them. They are so attached to
tlie rebels that they cannot be relied upon. In fact,
they hate us. On the other hand. I Hud out that the
Spaniards, who are the owners or all the provision
stores irt-re and at Nuevitas, have been speculating
with the rebels, and supplying them with all the
necessaries of life as well as with arms and ammu
nition Hence their indignation against Letona, who
endeavored to oppose them. 1 have been compelled
to close all such stores with the exception of one.
Tills will soon bring about resentment, and ft will be
Impossible for me to face the enemies here and out
side with the scanty forces at my command I there
fore reiterate my suggestion to evacuate in time, aud
leave the seaports to the navy."
To this despatch I must add the opinion of
Spaniards coming from Nuevitas that it will be
fortunate if the General can withdraw lrom
Puerto Principe to-day. General Lesca, who is
getting tired of waiting for the volunteers, says
in ins despatch to tue cupiain-tienertu:
"If there is no possibility of sending reinforce
ments, we had better unite all our forces on the Hue
of Itemedios and Sagua, and there establish a bar
rier to protect our most valuable property. We can
do nothing here. The Spaniards of Trinidad decline
enlisting under the general order of the Lieutenant
Governor forcing all men from fifteen to sixty to
take up arms, because they fear their property will
lie burned if they do so, and they know we cauiio
protect them. All the Cubans und Spaniards o'
some available means are hastily leaving my quar
lers, and that course increases onr difficulties."

Siiuitlioii.
Havana, Aug. 7. At the meeting of the
directors of the Villanieda Railroad, a few days
ago, there was another sceue. Dou Juau I'oe"..
a well-known planter, went to the meetiug, and
charged an olllcer of the road, Dou Gon.alo Al
fonso, with being an insurreclo, and, further,
that all its employes were iulinlcal to the Gov
ernment, and, along with Alfonso, should be
expelled from it. Dou Kuiz Pastor declared
that the directors should be put in prison. Senor
Ibarra eff ectually answered these speeches. Tlie
books of the "company were sealed, aud now
await the orders of the Government.
To-day General De Hodas has issued orders to
the effect that all olliccrs and soldiers must hold
themselves in readiness to move to the field at a
moment's warning. It looks as though he were
meditating some important movement, yet this
is doubtful, and the order may be nothing more
than a blind. Tlie Government here is evidently
laboring to defer all active operations until No
vember. It is entirely unable to do anything at
present.
Here is a summary of the money situation,
drawn up by the Governor-General himself.
"From a detailed examination," he says, "there
are found the following essential deductions:
That there is necessary lor actual expenses of
tlie current economical year 5j,5tH.,0O0, and
that tlis returns will not amount to more than
fr30,000,OW." To cover this deficit of 15,007,
000, there are still unexpended of a former bank
Issue $5,000,000, aud so there still must need be
a deficit of $10, 007,000. There is com
prised in this Jf55,50ii.000 a sum of 1S,
MtllXX) for extraordinary war expenses.
The necessity of raising the 10.ii07,000 must be
met, and this is to be done in part by a new
issue of bank notes to the extent of .000.000,
und the remaining 44,007,000 are to be worked
UP In some way, uo one foresees how. Now,
wliu this last issue shall have been put in cir
culation, tlie bank will have paper out to the
amount of 30.MK),000, and to meet this there is
about :. 500,000 i'f specie, perhaps ;00,000 ol
its own notes, some J,000.000 of negotiable
paper, and other assets comprised under the
head of Government debt (Uouos del lesoro).
You will perceive that the Government will .coon
be in debt to the bank if'.tXKt.OiMi, and should
Spanish rule be doomed in Cuba, the hanco
Expanol will certaiuly under this exhibit show a
I poor hand.

A CANADIAN LADY.
How She Dxcorlntrd Nome Swindling Hnnk
IMrcrlorn.
At a meeting of the Commercial Bank of New
Brunswick, which was held a few days sinco, a
young lady named Ladds, of Halifax, astonished
the other stockholders present by a stirring
speech. It appears that she was a stockholder
to the extent of !MMK). She spoke with the
utmost accuracy and composure, though with
much animation. She said:
Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen: From
a sense of justice to my widowed mother, whom
you have left without a home, I have been com
pelled to seek redress elsewhere, with a view to
discover how the bank was managed and why
it failed. For years past I could not ascertain
the true position of tlie bank, which the state
ments of the directors represented as quite flour
ishing. Now that I have been robbed of my
property, it seems to me to be a very modest
request to ask, "Who took it?" The amount
which I had at stake having been C'50, I think
my question quite a mild one.
Mr. Sancton, the cashier, addressed a letter
to the stockholders, making many charges
nuainst the management. You have" taken no
notice of it. Now, as you are all strangers to
ino, the cashier's statement is just as much to
me as yours is not that I can have any sym
pathy for any person connected with this'dis
gracclul transaction; but. in common sentiment
with my native city of Halifax, I have more
sympathy with the cashier than I have for the
directors. We do not think it right that one
man should be prosecuted and others quite as
bad allowed to go free. 1 was In St. John last
autumn, and before leaving for Halifax called
at the bank. Mr. Sancton treated me with every
respect. 1 then wished to learn something
more, and I called on Mr. Secly and explained
my difficult position in relation to tlie bank
"l" do not see why," said that distinguished in
dividual, "I do not see why you cannot work
for your living." I Lave now a word in return
for "you, Mr. Seely. As my father was neither
a business man nor a professional man, and my
brother a post-captain in her Majesty's navy, I
do not see why cither an Knglish gentleman's
daughter should work for her living, or why a
man like you should live on the fragments of
her property. It is well for you. sir. that two
of as noble ollicers as ever Kngland had are in
their graves, or you would have been taught
greater courtesy ere this. I have now with all
respect to state that I am advised by tlie very
highest legal authorities that by your charter
you are no longer directors, but trus'tees to wind
up the affairs of the bank, and as such I will hold
you responsible. I did not vote for you as direc
tors at tlie last meeting, because I could not do
so conscientiously. I will look to tlie law of my
country lor protection, in the spirit of my de
parted' brother; and with the God of the father
less and stranger as my protector. I am not
afraid to stand here alone," a stranger without a
solitary friend, to contest my rights witli such a
man as you, and before sitting down. I beg to
move that Mr. Sancton's letter be read and con
sidered at this meeting, and I trust that the
stockholders, out of common politeness, will
sustain my rcijucst.
Miss Ladds speech, delivered without the
slightest hesitation, was listened to with marked
attention.
James Gerow, Esq., seconded the motion that
Mr. Sancton's letter be read. It was put to the
meeting and enrriid una limo; sly, the motion
causing a considerable stampede f "oni the room,
including in the number of those who withdrew
some of the directors.
( 03IING CALAMITIES.
What May be Kxprrfed Along tlie Line of I lie
Amies.
By the way of San Francisco terrible news
ought to come in a few days to this city. There
is a German astronomer in Valparaiso who pre
dicted some time ago that there would b three
severe earthquake shocks on Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday of this week, aud that the cities
of Lima and Callao would be partly overthrown.
The business is to be finished October Ii0, when
Callao and Lima arc to be submerged and totally
destroyed. There is also an astrologer in Lon
don who makes the same prediction about these
two cities, giving tlie same months specified by
the Valparaiso astronomer for the earthquakes,
but not fixing the days.
It is reported that the German astronomer
foretold tlie earthquakes of last year, including
the shocks at Sail Francisco; and consequently
the people of Lima and Callao are, it is said,
much frightened at the predictions now made.
The churches are holding special services, in
which tlie priests offer prayers to avert tlie
threatened calamity, and men" are moving their
families and personal property out of the cities.
The hurricane season on the Gulf of Mexico
cau be pretty coulidentlv predicted to begin
some time from the last of August to the last of
October that is, if it comes at all during the
year, for sometimes two, three, or even five
years elapse without a hurricane. But earth
quakes have not as yet been brought within the
reach of known laws which would render the
prediction of coming shocks even possible.
Last year earthquakes occurred through
nearly the whole twelve mouths, and were
particularly violent in August, September, and
October. Tlie tidal-wave which partially
submerged Callao began on the South American
coast August IS, and reached the Sandwich Isl
ands and the coast of California three (lavs
afterwards. From August 1 to August Hi Peru
was terribly shaken. October US Chili received
a series of shocks, and the volcanoes in South
ern Chiii were active. October iiti began tlie
fresh eruption of Vesuvius, wl ich continued
with greater or less violence through the rest of
the year.
The Valparaiso astronomer i tolerably safe in
predicting the months in which the earthquakes
w ill come, if they come at all. Which proviso
should have accompanied the prediction; instead
of specifying particular days, the "Old
Farmers Almanac" formula respecting wet, dry,
warm, and cold weather should have I ecu fol
lowed; down the entire calendar for tlie three
months should have been strung the ominous
words: "F.xpect severe earthquake shocks
about these days "A', '. J 'out.
I'oolliurtliiic,
A young man of South Pittsburg has probably
committed suicide to win a drunken bet. Dr.
Kobert was culled on Wednesday morning to
attend the young man mentioned, who was
found hiug in a state of unconsciousness by one
of the low walls on the south side of the Monon
gahela suspension bridge. On going to the
patient, the doctor ascertained that ills illness
was oceash ued under the following circum
stances: On Tuesday evening lie had been over
iuthis. city with two of his comrades, and drank
until lie became intoxicated. Towards 15 o'clock
yesterday morning the trio started for home,
bringing with them a quart bottle filled
witlf whisky. When they reached the south end
of the bridge thev felt tired and sat down on one
side of the walls, where this man, whom the
doctor Is atteudlng, made n bet that lie could
drink the entire quart of whisky, without taking
the bottle from his mouth. He attempted it and
succeeded, but soou grew totally uuconsclous
ind fell on the ground. His companions, it Is
said, were too drunk to do much with him and
left him where he was fouud. Dr. Roberts
found that the foolish young man was suffering
from congestion of the brain, caused by the Im
mense amount of whisky lie had taken. He was
l iken to his home, aud the proper remedies
applied, but the prospect of Ids recovery is
slight. J'itisburg Chronicle.

Relative to the robbery of the American ex
press cars on the New" York Central Hoad on
Wednesday night, the Utica (N. Y.) Ubnroi-r
says:
Eight men entered the express, baggage, and
mail car of the Pacific express going east last
night, and after an hour's deliberate work left
the train richer by hundreds of thousands of
dollars It may be a million their booty being
the gold, securities, and valuables of all kinds
gathered by the express company between
Omaha and this city for transportation to New
York. Utica contributed 10,000 to the pouches
of the robbers.
When the Pacific express train arrived in
Utica shortly after 10 o'clock last night, on its
eastward way, It was In command of Conductor
Day, who was in his usual good spirits, and
never more virtuously opposed to the occurrence
of the slightest impropriety or irregularity on
his train. His faithful and trusty brakesmen
were with him and prompt in the discharge of
their duties. The American F.xprcss messenger,
having money packages In his charge, was a lit
tie but plucky man named Heattie. The bag
gageman was a larger person named Conkliu
The messenger and baggageman occupied th i
same car. Another man is said to have been in
the car, but we have not learned his name.
Willi them and under their charge were
First. The express company's safe, contalnin
the money packages collected at leading point
in the West. Including Omaha, Chicago, etc.. fo
transmission to tlie city of New York. In thi
safe were 10.000 in "securities, etc., which the
night clerk of the Express office in this city
placed in the hands of Beattie after the train
hulled in the Utica depot.
Second. The baggage of the passengers ou the
train.
Third. The United States mail-bags, contain
ing the through mail for Albany and New York.
The train moved out of the depot at 10:. the
men and passengers unsuspecting the impending
clinic.
It was at Fonda that the robbers arc supposed
to have come upon the train. They may have
been among tlie passengers a long distance back,
coining aboard either all together or one by one;
but this is at present only conjecture. At Fonda
they managed to get upon the platforms be
tween the express car and another without being
observed: at least without exciting suspicion.
W hen the train began to move rapidly one of
them thrust a key into tlie lock of the door at
the end of the car which contained the treasure
they sought, and in less time than it t ikes to
write it eight strangers were inside tlie car and
had begun tlie work o' overpowering, binding,
and gagging tlie resisting minutes. The latter
si niggled hard, and it is reported that Beattie,
the express messenger, was rendered insensible
before he was completely secured.
Of course, when the men were bound the work
of pillage was easy. The keyt o tins express
safe was taken from the body" of the prostrate
messenger, and the robbers were now in
possession of all the nieaus they required for
securing their booty.
But while they were doing this, and awaiting
a suitable opportunity to get away with their
acquisitions, a little by-play was necessary. One
of the robbers, about the size of Conkliu, took
his cap and personated tlie baggageman at Sche
nectady, lie put out the baggage destined for
that station, aud received that which was to be
taken ou board. The light in the car was uot so
bright as usual, it is remembered, and he was
not detected. "Is there anything more to come
out i" was asked by the station baggage-master,
and the answer was returned by the bogus bag
gageman, "No." "What name"?" was inquired
in tlie customary manner. "Conkliu !" was
promptly replied" by tlie bogus. At this time
Conkliu" and his companions were lying bound
in a corner of the car, and the confederates
were also concealed.
At West Albany the train was "rung up" by a
pull from the baggage car, and the patent brakes
were set. The train stopped, and the rob
bers fled.
It is not an unusual thing for railroad em
ployes to "ring up" a train at that point for the
purpose of getting off near the Central Railroad
w orks: and Conductor Day ordered his train to
proceed w ithout any other suspicion entering
his mind than that some railroad men had pi.iyod
this trick upon him.
It was not until the Pacific Express reached
Albany, and the messenger and baggageman
were "found helpless, that the robbery became
known.

"It has become a very serious question, says
a Richmond paper, "what shall be done In regard
to providing quarters for our penitentiary eon
icts. The penitentiary building remains of the
same size, while the number of its inmates in
creases from year to year we may more pro
perly say from week to week. The following
figures will show tlie rapid and startling in
crease. The whole number of prisoners in the
penitentiary on January 1, lSOU, was 17'J; of
which 100 were white men, 70 colored men, and
! colored women. On January 1, 1807, the whole
number was lit'tf, of which 100 were white men, 240
colored men, and 17 colored women. On Janu
ary 1. lhfiS, the whole number was 443; of which
K'O were white men, 317 colored men, and 17
colored women. Of these, 50 were hired out on
works of improvement, while 3113 were confined
in the penitentiary. On January 1, 1800, whole
number W7; of which 110 were "white men, 375
colored men, and oil colored women. Of these,
188 were employed on works of improvement,
v bile 3311 were confined in the penitentiary. ( n

1:.'S were white men, 433 colored men, and 35
coiorea women, oi these. 178 were employed
on works of improvement, and 418 confined" In
the penitentiary. live children are Included
among the inmates.
"It thus appears that the whole number of
convicts in July was within four of GOO. We
may assume that it is now 000 at least.
"Now look at the accommodations. Tlie
whole number of cells in the penitentiary is 173,
the average size of which is 0x13 feet each, being
capable of accommodating comfortably two in
mates. The Dumber of single cells used by con
victs, averaging from one to five in each, is 137.
Of the iVS cells, some arc used for storing pro
visions, iVc., some for solitary confinement, aud
one as a guard room. Some are called rooms,
and include two, three, four and five cells, and
are populated accordingly. One of these rooms,
containing four cells. Is occupied by eight
women. Two rooms, 10x34 feet, arc occupied
bv eighteen women and live children.
'"'lliese figures show that for 000 prisoners
there are only 170 cells, of which 137 are known
as single cells. It so happens that at present
about 118 convicts are employed on works of
improvement, leaving 433 to be accommodated
in 113 cells of all descriptions. When the cold
weather sets lu those employed on the works of
improvement, or the greater number of them,
will have to be returned to the penitentiary In
consequence of tlie cessation of the work. Mean
while, judging from tlie past, the number of in
mates w ill be increased by new accessions."

Tlie crop of Malaga raisins last year was tiio
greatest ever realized, amounting in the aggre
gate to 1,050,000 boxeB. The yield the present
season did not promise so well at last accounts,
aud it was thought that it would bo one-third
less than that of 1808. All the old crop had been
shipped from Spain except about 30,000 boxes,
which would soon find a market. This fine

Jackson, Miss., Aug. 13 Judge Jeffords, of
the Supreme Court, A. Warner, Secretary of
State, Judge Speed, of the Criminal Court of
Warren county, with a large number of minor
ollicers, were yesterday removed by General
Ames. The persons above named are prominent
in tlie conservative movement iu the State.
The commission that tried Yeager is still en
gaged on the Egan-Downs murder ease. The
murderer and the murdered man were both ne
groes. The father-in-law murdered his son-in-law.
The father-in-law is a good man. The
murdered man w as an extremely bad oue. Egan,
to tave his life, shoots the son-in-law, who falls
on his kuces, with his head ou the ground.
While in this position, and half an hour after
the first shot, Egan returned with his horse
pistol reloaded aud fired a second shot into what
must have been a lifeless carcass. It is a curious
case.!
The mystery surrounding Yerger's possession
of the key with which lie could at any time re
lease himself of his manacles is yet unexplained.
It was probably furnished by oue of his guards
for a present or prospective bribe.
That he could bribe all his guards is improba
ble; that he could avoid being shot in attempting
to escape is next to impossible; to conceive of
Mrs. Yerger in any of his daily visits, when the
ollicer or corporal of the guard is stationed be
tween her aud her husband, suggesting such a
rik, is simply absurd.

others were killed on Wednesday by the fall of
an embankment which they were making for
bed of the Cairo aud Yiucennes Kailroad, near
Mound City. ,
A negro, named Nappet, attempted to outrage
a girl six years old, in the upper portion of
Cairo, and on being discovered leaped out of a
second-story window, and was arrested after a
long chase, and is now in jail. How long ho
will remain there depends on the temper of the
citizens, Judge Lynch being threatened,
Mollie Abbott, a courtean, attempted to com
mit suicide In jail by hanging herself with strips
of cloth through the top of the bunks. -She was
cut down uuconsclous and restored, but after
wards swallowed a whole bottle full of an opiate
left by the physician to be taken hourly, and a
bottle of other medicine, left for another
prisoner. These nearly accomplished her pur
pot e, but she still survives. She Is accomplished,
Lai.dsoine, and of good parentage; and declares
she will yet commit suicide.

The St. Louis Democrat of the 11th puMi-dics
the following:
In confirmation of the despatch to Colonel
Meyer, Police Commissioner, in yesterday m rn
ing s Ih mrcrat, we have a statement made by a
gentleman of this city, who arrived from the
end of the Iron Mountain Kailroad yesterday
afternoon, lie says that on JSunday" the 8th
inst., while Colonel Bowen and Sheriff Murphy
were riding along in the vlciuity of Hig KiveY
Mills, twelve miles from Farmlngton, they were
fired upon by llildebrand and three companions.
They were on a rocky eminence, which gave
them full sweep of the road, and a fine chane j to
shoot at their pursuers. One shot from lliide
brand's party went in front of the Sheriff's eve,
grazing his face and blinding him. The second
shot tore his shirt bosom and killed Colonel
Ilowen's horse. The lire was returned by the
ollicers, but without effect, as the pursued had
good places of concealment. The people of the
region round about are thoroughly aroused, and
hundreds of men have engaged in the man hunt

Tlie St. Louis lit publican says: "Proceedings
have been instituted in the" Circuit Court by
Frank Jilek against J. IJ T. Belohradsky, pro
prietor of a newspaper known as the S'arodin
A'oi'n, published in the Bohemian language iii
this city, for au aliened libel. The plaintiff al
leges that on or about the 33d of April last the
defendant maliciously intended to injure, and
for the purpose of harassing, annoying, and
bringing him into public scandal and disrepute,
published in said newspaper a false, scandalous,
mischievous lioel In the Bohemian language,
thereby intending to charge plaintiff with ha ving
committed tlie crime of robbery, and with being
a cheat, and having committed other dishoaest
and dishonorable acts.
"Tlie defendant, it appears, inserted in his
paper a communication from a paper called t'.ic
.socie, published at Allegheuy City; Pa., in
which something is said of the plaintiff being
accused of dishonest management in establishing
a Bohemian colony in Nebraska and inveigling
persons by false statements."
"The plaintiff asks for $10,000 damages.
Messrs. Jecko and Harper arc the attorneys "i it

Americans In Dresden.
The Dresden Xarhrichten says: "An old gen
tleman, whose features strongly resemble tho;e
of his Majesty King Johann, excites public at
tention by his singular military uniform. Edu
cated men, especially those who have travelled,
recognize in it at once the garb of a funeral of
the United States army. This man is General
Kobert Anderson, who arrived here a few days
ago with his family. Those who know the history
of the late civil war in America have long been
familiar w ith his name, in connection with the
great valor and skill with which he defended
Fort Sumter when the Kebellion began. Be
sides this, he has performed good service in
several affairs with the Mexicans aud the
Indians, and has won the general esteem of his
countrymen, both here and abroad.
"As General Anderson means to make a pro
longed stay in this city, and Commodore Wor
den, the victor in tlie memorable sea-flght be
tween the original iron-clad 6hips, the Monitor
and the Merrimac, has also taken up his abode
here, we now have two of the heroes of thy
American civil war peacefully dwelling among
our citizens, at rest from their deeds of war."
African Zoology.
An English steamer which arrived at Liver
pool from Africa, a short time since, had ou
board three giant chacnias or baboons, two
crocodiles, several monkeys, and other speci
mens of the natural history" of the country. The
baboons were very ferocious, and possessed of
great strength. For their safe custody, a strong
den witli iron bars was provided, and placed near
the forecastle, so that they could be constantly
under the eye of the crew. All went well
until the morning of the second day out, when
a crash was heard, and n an instant the
large chacma had wrenched several bars off,
and the next Instant was on the forecastle, armed
with tlie bars with which he had been confined.
Here his majesty paused for a moment, and in a
dignified nmnfer surveyed his captors. A rope
having been got, a noose was formed and cast
over his head, aud he struggled hard to extricate
himself, but without avail. He then attacked
one of the seamen, whom he seized by the arm,
aud, notwithstanding that several of the men
belabored him with weapons, the brute would
not relinquish his hold until he had torn the
flesh from above the elbow to near the wrist, and
had been rendered Insensible, when he wad car
ried to his den.

"The ball opened this morning In the G ild Koom,
where the first sales were made at 13,V. K.V persist
ent hammering and free speculative sales, based
upon the assumption of early and large retunn of
the cotton and grain crops, the premium was rapidly
forced down through the several llgures and f rac
tional quotations to i:i4, which It touched about one
o'clock. From this It rallied, on purchases made to
cover the short sales of the morning, to 134.!.;, falling
ol avaiii to VMU and iliictuating for some time
between that figure and 134 at which It stood upon
tl.e formal closing of the room, subsequently it
ranged between ' and until fi o'clock, when, In
the generally Improved status of the bulls, it stood
H'4 The putting out and covering of the short
interest is exhibited by the rates paid for carrying,
which early In the day were us low us 4Jtf per cent.,
and ranged to ,',.; during the morning hours. In the
alti rnoon 7 per cent, was paid. The doings of the
