- - a. iillillair - FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.. By the whaling ship Jarred Maury, Capt. Whel deJ, from Honolulu, Dec. 2.5 th, ‘63 have received a copy of the Polynei.ian of the latest date, from which we gather the following items: The whale ship Francis Henrietta, Capt.-Poole, of this port, fell in with at sea, in May, lat. 42 N. ion. 850 E., aJapatiese junk of 200 tons, dismasted rudder g.nae ;and otherwise injured in a typhoon sev en menthes previous.

Bancroft, our minister to England, was in Paris during the elections of Aprin3d, of members of the national assembly. It *ds an 'occasion for an American to be proud of, for it vindicated the ca • moderation and intelligence of the masses. Mr. B. w?tites that the elections passed off with more of order and quiet and good humor than we are ac customed to in the States at any exciting election. The arrangements were perfect. All Paris was divided into arondissements or wards; and 'teach of ,them into sub-divisions, so that none should exceed a thousand voters. These again were arranged un der sections of the alphabet, at which were atutioned the checkers of the voters. Each voter was previ ously prepared with a pass containing his name, ago and place of birth, which had been obtained of the registers. With this pass he presented himself; it was examined, the end clipped off, and with this bq passed to another apartment, where, unseen, he de -1 posited his secret ballott for his candidate, which wtoi received by persons who could not see the de po-itor, who then passed out. In this way all voted as rapidly as was necessary, and none knew ftir whom his neighbor cast his vote, and no excitement, di,torbalice, riot or dissatisfaction appeared. Iltippy has been the beginning. of the elections in Prance. Gloriously.the people, by their prudence and discretion, are putting to shame their Amulet , . ers and the unbelievers in self-government. It is understood that the elections have generally gone in favor of the moderate republicans. MUTINY AND MASSA( ar.—Papers received by the Cambria state that the British convict'ship General' Wood, was seized when two days but from Singa pore. bound to Penang, by the convicts on board, and the captain and nearly all the whites of the crew murdered, - About twenty lascars and the passen gers i'ere spared:. The mutineers ran the vessel t p..:1,043 on the Island of Bangarow, off the Malay coast; fink then abandoned - her.. Soon after she went down, the passengers saving themselves with ditlieulty'in the boats. The Malays subsevently took part u ith the passengers, and the convicts were obliged to tly from the Island. They' took to their boats: leaving 20 of their number behind, who were made prisoners. The fugitive convicts had not been heard of. appears that the captain, officers and crew. with the single exception of third mate, were seized with a panic when the convicts made their attack, and offered scarcely any resistance. Some of them were butchered on deck, others thrown alive into the sea. ,There was no military guard on board the vessel and elbuvicts were not even handcufliml! biroaTANT INvyNnoxs.-111r. David (sham, 'machineist of Hartford, Conn., has recently invented a process by which iron can be converted almost in stantly, and with but slight expense andlabor into steel. 'l'v only minutes Only are necessary Ito con vert a ton of iron into steel of the best quality, a pro cess of requiring from zix to ten days. The inven tor has been ollbred 12.030 fur the patent right for the State of Pennsyvania alone. Articles manufac tured front steel thus prepared, have been proved and found equal to those manufactured front the best English steel. If this invention in really what it purports to be, it will destroy one great hraqnch of English labor and add much to the .wealth AA this count:ry. The Rev. - Mr. Pepper, a Presbyterian clergyman of Albany, N. Y. has invented a compound of clay, which resembles in - stricture and appearance the richest, variegated agates. It is to be used for doorknobs, pavements, tabler tops and other orna mental articles. It surpasses in briliancy any known variety of marble, and is equally cheap The Hartford Whig speaks of it in the following terms. ttNo. one, who has not seen it, can form an i ea of its beauty and illimitably variety of color.

SLOUGHING Orr TUB OLD COAT.--We preceive that one of the most - ardent of the supporters of Gen. Taylor invokes the Federalists. to take hint up, be cause, he says, it will give them the opportunity to drop their old creed, and come out a new party, hav ing no relatinn whatever to their past misdeeds.— The advice reminds us of the advertisements of a famous patent-medicine, in which the merits of the nostrum are extrolled as being able to effect a per fect change in the whole man, and, in a certain space of time,lo substitute for a body impaired and dis ease.l, one that is wholy elastic and new. But we suspect that the conpoup•l in question, will be une qual to the task of changing bad into Bond qualities. So with the name of Gen Taylor, adopted by-the op position as their motto an I their • guiding-star. It cannot change the heart of inveterate Federalism? Peartviranian.,_ TOR STORM BREwINU.-A gentleman, who has been recently spending some time in London, says the New York Dispatch, has described to its a scene, which occured at one of the theatres, but was never repotted- by the British press. The band played, "God shve the Queen." A few persons commenced to appiand as usual, when to their loyal astonish ment, no doubt, they fond their plaudits druwond iti'ltisses, At this a stalwart fellow stood up in the pit,and cried "God sine the People." which exclama tion was received with thunders of applause. In view of the apparent d stiny of all crowned heads, "God save the Queen!" becomes a highly ap propriate/ ejaculation. Mrsmoors M UIIDEII AND Stnuog.—The St. Louis Union of May Lt says, the Steamer Lucy Bertram lett that port on thursday last for Keokuk. When some 3 miles above the, city,lnear a place us ually designated as tht . Point. she war hatted from the shore by a man. TIM boat was stopped, the yaw! sent out, and the stranger taken on board.— On reaching the boat, it was soon discovered that his clothes were wet, and from his boom protruded the handle of a lame boWie knife. For bottle tine he kept aloof fromthe misseng,ers, and refused to answer any questions put to him. Ilis-appearanCe was that of a man laboring Onder alienation of mind, which together with the fact of his clothes being wet awl Ins mysterious manner and singular appear ance generally, so excited the curiosity of the NW- St'llfferA that just before night seeing him on the boi ler deck they crowded around and inquired how his clothes bename so wet. He replied tint he started that inn ruing - for St. Louis on a log, which torued over and threw him into the water;, and at the same time his bowie knile-and threatened to kill the first man that laid hands on him. He was assured that no harm should be done him, and questioned as to his destination; he seemed very much alarmed, and and replied that he did not know where he was go ing—again drawing his knife in a threatening man ner. He said lie lived at nidison, but when asked Ins named turned aWay without disclosing it. He scented very uneasy and walked incessantly from one part of the boat to another, avodiug every body that came in his way. • The clerk of the boat, on his refusing.to answer as to where he was going 'and his ultility to pay, told tilmpie should go ashore at Alton. As the boat near ed Alton he sprang into the water, crying help; but befere he could be reacked with the yawl lie sunk and could not be found. On relating the circtimstatices of this mysterious nffiiir at Alton, the officers of the boat were inform ed that on Thursday morning the body of a man was found shoctingly mutilated near Madison=--that the Coroner of Alton was then gone to hold on inquest upon the corpse; and, from the . circumstances had no doubt that the person in question bud committed the murder and killed himself for fear of being ar rested in Alton where the facts were known. The names of the murdered man and the suicide are not known. Swam—A little boy not over ten years of age was seen the other day cramming his mouth full of "fine cot," when a gentleman standing by, some what amused at the spectacle, asked him what he chtin, - 'ed tobacco for. "What, do I chew tobacco for?" replied the boy, "why, sir, I chew it to get the strength outof it, what d'ye think I chew it for?"

On Wednesday night, about helf-past eleven 0'..; clock. n luirrible tragedy was perpetrated in Walnut street, under circumstances of slier great barbarity that it excited considerable sensation of horror'even among - t t depraved portion of the inhabitant of that But alas it is Only one of the many sacr •liich are continually offered up on the altar of in mperance. It appears that a cooper named Thomas Hayti,. living at •No. SI, Walnut St., was in the habit of quarrelling With his wife, but on account of the frequency of the occurrence, these quarrels caused no remark from the neighbors. On the night in question, Hays come home intoxicated, and was heard talking ang,rily with his wife, but though her cries and the sound ()flier body fulling sere heard, no notice was taken St the time, but when the alarm was given and some persons entered the room, a shocking sight was presented to their eyes. The body of the murdered woman'was found lying nn the floor weltering in blood, with her head half cut oil,` and about a foot find a half from it was a cooper's axe, also covered With blood, pointing out too plainly that it was the iti , trument which had been used by the murderer in the perpetration of the horrible design.' From the position in which the body lay, and the fact that drops of blood had gush ed to the top of a bureau, there is no doubt but that she was standing when she was tattuclftd. Yester• day the Coroner held an inquest ()lithe body, and the above filets, together with the following, transpired: It 'appears that the murderer, after the deed was (lobe, went to a druggist's :VI) next door to the house he liqd andre( t 14,4 the proprietor, 111 r. c3'eg;ier, to come up an.

On brintring him to thOt.tatiori Wise, he appeared ex cited, hut still sensible, and said that his wife had got out of bed and aggravated bite, which was the cause of his committing, the act. The jury return ed a verdict i iu accordance withohe foregoing facts, and the prisoner was confined in the bison of the /hills of Justice to tmait 'his trial.—. Veto York Trite Sun. INTERESFING TRIAL, FOR ,COVNTERFSITIN6.—For the past three days, the United States District court Judge Conklin presiding,. has been engaged in the trial of a ‘cr i y remarkable prosecution for the man ufacture of bogus coin. The defendant is Dr. Salis bury of Jamestown, Clintitamine county, a man against whom, until this charge was preferred, there was scarcely a breath of suspicion of guilt. Ild was a milli of wealth, occupied a prominent po sition in soe! ' ietv ‘t as a leading : member of one of the'churches, anti yet it was given in evidence that that after having spent the night 4 of a Saturday, fur instance, in manufacturine- of cjitinterfeit coin,_he %%wild go into the Sunday Scitool' the next morning and take q leading part execises! lie was a rOminent mover lin all philanthropic projects of the day, retnarliable for piety, so berness and benevolence! l'his was his gener al character in communitys and yet from the testimony on the part of the, prosecution, he was connected with a band of thettitost deliberate scoun rels'that ever went unwhipt tojostice! It seems that 'he had constructed a room ten feet by tAtelve, and seven feet high, in the rear of his barn, on a side hill dug out of the ground, which was covered over by plank, and on the top of this was placed a hen house,,so etrectunily as, to prevent discovery. The door leading to it was concealed, that any one entering the burn a thousand times, %%mild not have observed it. The manufacturers generally worked at night, and just previous to the Doctor s arrest, a maw residing on the adjoining lot, discovered a light peering through the cracks, and on looking through saw Salisbury and another coun ting over w t hat resembled money, and heard the Doc_ tur say that if the other had a certain pile he must pay part down or give security. When preparing his press &c., for operations, it seems that the Doctor represente that he was get ting a root i null Made for grinding such roots used in his practice us were too hard to pound! Salis bury was convicted and sentenced to the State Pris on at Aubni o f for several years. A Hyalite SAILOR.—The New London (Conn.) Chronicle mentions with commendation, the , heroic deeds of a common sailor, on board the ship ftobert Bourne, recently arrived at that port: - As the ship was on her passage from the' Sand wich Islands to the North West Coast, she encoun tered a severe gale ofn hid, and while laying in un der close-rceled main topsail,- one of- the foremost hands, named Henry. , C. Smith, of Norwich, fell overboard. The sea was rough that it seemed en tirely out of the.question. to lower a boat. It could not•be done without. placing in imminent peril any boat's creW that tnight,be.ssrdered on so hopeless a service. pf course the acrd went instantlyihrough the ship that there was a "Irian overboard," when a Portuguese sailor trout the Cape de Verds, carried Peter An nine, who was than below, sprung on deck, and in an instant threw himselt from the ships side and b easted his way through the billow to o ards the sinking sailor. It seemed impossible that the gullat t fellow could sustain himself for any length of one, much less that he — could reach and render tin: assistance to his drowning shipmate.— lie did, however, by an effort that seemed almost superhuman, succeed in very nearly- reaching the spot where Smith had till that time mhnaged to keep his lead above water, when just at that mo ment mem the, pour fellow sunk to rise n o more, and Antoine t i all human appearance was doomed -to fodow Ibi s fate. Seeing his situation a determined effut was made front the ship to save him. A boat was gut over and a line from it beihg kept on board the ship. 1 Antoine stns at last reached and finally got salely onboard. This mime capital fellow performed a like feat, and with better success, on a subsequent part of the voyage. Being with a boat's crew in the surf at Maui, hebuttt capszed, and one of the crew by the name of John N oo nan, was washed off, and be ing unable to swim was upon the very point of . drrowiling, when Antoine pitched into - the breakers and bore him alive to the shore. • Nor does the rec ord of the brave man's eflints in the Cause of human ity close iere, through the other instance of his gal lant conduct occurred some time before. On a p et ions-voyage, sonic three or fours years ago, in 11 re ship Romulus, of Mystic,' a sailor fell overboari , and Antoine promptly plunged into the sea, swats for his shipmate, and saved 'him! . xican correspondent of the N.

EVADING THE LAW.—The taverit keepers of Syracuse have adopted a very ingenious mode of getting on one side of an ordinance, lately'pa.sed by the common coun cil, prohibiting the riugiit of dinner bells in the street. Ono man stands on the sidewalk shaking a bell williout clapper, and another stand's within *the door ringing one, loud enough to attract the attention of all stragglers, and the pantomine of the fellow outside directs them to the place of eating, AN IMPRESSIVE FACT.-It will not be forgotten, sacs the Pennsylvanian, after the battles of the Bth and 9th of May, 1816, and following the capture of Monterey, that tho Federal press claimed mearly all our Generals of tho regular army as members of the Federal party. Every opposition paper talked of the war as having been made a war of victory by "Whig Generals." Time at last tells the trnth, and we find how wide of the mark were all these estimates. We now see the list of . regular Generals and Colonels, who arc Democrats, that comprises the best blood of the old Lathy; Worth, Twiggs, Jessnp, Kearney, I.6rnoy, Riley, and Duncan! nut, say the opposition papers, Goti. Worth and Others, have become Democrats since the war broke out! We deny the fact; but, if so, .what does it prove?
