THE RUMORED CCBA EXPEDITION.--The Wil

of another expedition for Cuba, mentions the fact
that Captain Lewis, who commanded the steamer
Pampero, which carried General Lopez out to Cu

salting schooner, belongicg to Brandywine, for the
purpose, as was then alleged, of trading between
New Orleans and the Rio Grande. It was said at
the time that twelve more vessels of that class were
wanted and could be sold at New York. Perhaps
this may throw some light on the expedition in
prospect.

FATAL AFFILAT.—Hon. Ed ward A. Hannegan, late
U. S. Senator horn Indiana, (and more recently
United States Ambassador to Austria,) and his bro
ther-in-law, Capt. Duncan, living in the same
house at Covington, Indiana, on the most friendly
terms, had a personal misunderstanding on the 7th
inst. It appears that on the day and evening pre
vious, they had both been drinking, and that on the
morning of the sad occurrence, Capt. Duncan went
up stairs to Mr. Hannegan's room, and an alterca
tion ensued between the parties. when Capt. Dun
can gave Mr. Hannegan a slap in the face. Mr.
Hannegan, upon the indignity he tell, and the im
kulse of the moment, struck Capt. Duncan • with a
nife in the lower part of the stomach. It resulted
in the death of the latter after thirty-six hours of in
tense suffering. The Lafayette Journal says :
To all enquiries as to the cause of the difficulty,
its origin, &c, Captain Duncan invariably replied,
1 ' nothing. it was nothing," and seemed determin
ed not to reveal any thing that would afford addi
tional evidence against Mr. Hannegan. It is said
a short time before he died he observed that he
himself was to blame. It is thought by some that
he made private declarations as to the whole mat
ter, but if so they have not yet been made public.
He died atter suffering the most Intense pain, calm
and composed, at 12 o'clock on Saturday last, fully
and freely forgiving Mr. Hannegan. Immediately
after the occurrence, Captain Duncan requested the
Masonic fraternity, of which both he and Mr. Han•
negan were members, to Mice him in charge. They
did so, and he was buried with the honors of that
order on Sabbath afternoon: The funeral took place
from Mr. Hannegan's residence, where Captain
Duncan died. The fatter was thelsely living broth
er of Mrs. Hannegan, who still lives, the object of
universal pity. The anguish of Mr. Hanuegan's
mind is said to be most intense and excruciating.
The con+equences of his rash act have driven him
to a state closely bordering on insanity."
Captain Duncan rrise a troop of horse in Licking
county, Ohio, during the Mexican war, and served
gallantly on the field of battle. He was brave, no
ble, and generous, and as a merchant in Covington
for the last two years, was highly esteemed for his
_gentlemanly demeanor. Mr. Hannegan and him
self had always been warm friends, but unfortu
nately they were both intemperate, and at the time
of the occurrence, as well as the day previous,
were intoxicated with liquor.
A GOOD EXAMPLE,—For the past three years the
Messrs. Hoe & Co., the eminent printing press
manufacturers of New York, have maintained at
their own expense an evening schoof for the in
struction of their apprentices and employees, in
Mathematics, the Exact Sciences, Mechanical
Drawing, the French and English Languages, &c.
Every one of their many apprentices is required to
give a punctual attendance at the school, which is
also opened to such adult members of the establish
merit as choose to attend. Two teachers, Messrs.
O'Gorman and. Disk; are regular employed, and
Prof. Hyatt has just been engaged to give a course
of lectures on Experimental Philosophy, which are
now being delivered, and will close the winter
term. They are attended by nearly all the' work
men, as well as all the apprentices. We mention
these facts because we consider them worthy of -
lug imitated by other large employers of laporing
men. And while we have not the slightest doubt
'hat the Messrs. Hoe $r Co. established - this school
without a thought as to whether they should gain
or lose by it pecuniarily, we cannot but think that
they reap an advantage in the increased intelligence
of the workmen, and their increased regard for the
proprietors of the establishment, which more than
compensates for the considerable outlay which this
school involves.
We saw,this morning, in the hands el a returned
Califfornian—Mr. C. Meeks, of Ohio—a lump of the

Copy Of a Note addreettd
mama •to Kr. Webster, dated at
.Viontsatos, April .29, 1952.
On awl motet retain from Havana,- I 'found that
the moment bad arrived to fulfill the inteationt.of
my. goienuremt relative to my officiV corinectioni
with the government of the United States.
The Setcretruy al State has not judged fit 13 reply 1
to the note which I tionsidered it my dutrto address
to him, dated the 19th of December, in relation to
the reception and *hematite!) , honors rentleied to
Kossuth by the federal authorities. • ,
The Secretary of state hai led me to hope that
my interviews with him, in the State Depsrtment,
would be no longer commented by derisive "re
marks, in certain Journals of Baltimore and Phila
delphia. 'Those assurance, which were given me
in writing, have been immediately burlesqued in
•the same journals, and have only led to more vim
tent atm**, which wereernitinned in one widely
circulated journal of New Orleans. - And, on my
passage through that ci.y, I have been the object of
very disagreeable demonstrations. I considered it
my duty at the time (21st of November) to inform
the President of those annoyances, so singularly
patronized; and thereupon the Secretary of State
declared to me (28th November) that thenceforth
his relations with me should be had only in wri
tings.
On the 7th rd January, the SecretaryofStatejudg
ed fit to pronounce publicly, and in the presence
of Kossuth, a revolutionary speech, in which he
strenuously encouraged Hungary toe new rebellion
and formally proposed a sentiment to the speedy
emancipation of that kingdom. This demonstration
was of such a strange icharacter—was so contrary
to the simplest interfational-courtesy, as well as to
the positive promises which you had given me in
the Department of State—that I considered it my
duty to address my sell to the highest authority of
the reputtlic, to be assured whether this discourse
was the expression of sentiments of the government
of the United States.
!esteem it a happiness to be enabled to say that
the imperial government, approving my course, has
re..dered justice to the declaration which the Presi
dent considered it proper to make tome on the 12th
of January, with the design of maintaining the good
.connections existing between Austria and the Unit.
ed Slates.
These verbal assurances have not given placb
since-to any procesding of the Secretary of State, to
corn/bonne officially the declaration of the Presi
dent, and to produce • satisfactory reconcilia
tion.
Alter having determined, with.moch deliberation,
as to the hostile proceeding of the Secretary of
State, and after having experienced the false and
disagreeable position which had resulted therefrom,
I believe it to be my duty to declare, fur very evi
dent motives of propriety, that my government
would no longer permit me to remain here, and
continue official relations with the principle promo:
ter of the Kossuth episode, so very n•uch to be re
gretted.
I profit by this occasion to express to the Presi•
dent my respectful thanks for his invariably oblig
ing conduct towards me.
Mr A. Belmont, Consul-General of Austria, at
New York, will continue his functions until further
orders.
Receive, Mr. Secretary of State, the expression
my high consideration.

EiTRAOADINART ROBBEIRY.—The whole business
community of this city, says the Richmond Times
of Tuesday, was shocked yesterday morning at the
intelligence of the arrest in Philadelphia of two lade,
who formerly resided here, open the grave charge
of robbing Messrs. Maury & Morton, Exchange
Brokers of ibis city. The circumstances attending
the departure and arrest of these lads, are briefly
these : Win. R. Pitts had for several years been in
the employment of Mr. .1. B. Morton. Exchange
Broker; and upon that gentleman's form . ing a heal
nese connexion with Mr R. F. Maury, a few months
since, young Pitts obtained honorable employment
in the house of Maury & Morton. His gentle die
position, amiability and attention to business, won
the esteem and confidence of his employers. Ho
filled a position of responsibility—handled large
amounts of money, and, as we fear the sequel will
prove, abused the generous confidence reposed. in.
him by robbing his employers
On Friday last, as we hear, he apprised Mr.. Mo
rton of his desire and intention to seek other em
ployment—to which he interposed no obstacle.—
He accordingly left, and in company with another
led, (Francis M. Ellion,) took passage, Friday even.
ing, in the steamer Philadelphia 4 partial exami
nation of his cash account showed a deficiency of
SBOO or 1/900. As soon as this lest become known,
telegraphic despatches were sent to Philadelphia,
directing the arrest and detention of Pitts and Elliott.
Those despatches reached their destination before
the steamer arrived, hence !inkier no difficulty was
experienced in capturing the lads, and obtained from
them some three hundred dollars, all the funds they
had in possession. An agent of Messrs Maury &
Morton proceeded to Philadelphia, Saturday even.
ing, and has not yet returned.
How Francis M. Blinn has become involved in
the robbery, we are unable to dueover. He had
been placed with Mr Rodgers,
learn stone and marble work—lied pit bly - never
visited the office of Mews. Maury and Morton,
though intimate with young Pico, and could not
therefore, we infer, be justly chergesble with any
deficiency in the cash account. )The most that can
be alleged against him, we imagine is, that be is a'
fugitive from labor." Neither of the lads is proba
bly over 17 years of age, and both hive hitherto en
joyed the confidence of their respective friends and
employers. Young Pitts is a native of Maryland,
but has resided in this city tome five or six years.
is-family is highly respectable, as is also that al
young Elliott. We presume the Executive will
make requisition upon the Governor of Pennsylva
nia for the reclamation of the accused at an early
day.
ARRINT OF a Fusers Roasts AND INCENIART...-
At midnight on Wednesday, a fire was discovered
in the house of Rufus R. Brewer, of Framingham

also in the barn. The barn and contents and a part
of the house, occupied by Mr. Brewer as a school
room, were, destroyed, and the house was saved

These awful outrages , against-etiquette have been
made the subject of a long, formal complaint from
Mr. Barney to the President of the United; States
and th e Commander in Chief of the Army 'nd Na.

we understand, is to decide. whether Mr. 4 or M.
(le S is the nicest gentleman and the most pleasing
to the ladies; for both are gay bachelors, end the
whole hostility between them is said to have
sprung up from rivalry in the fashionable circles of
Washington.
Mr. Blarney insinuates that M. de Sartiges avails
himself of his ambassadorial privileges to avoid a
personal rencontre as well as to evade the Wash
ington police in his rat-hunts. Thus a duel has
been put out of the question, and an intimation is
offered that the quartet should be made a national
one, and Uncle Sam go to war with Jean Crapaud,
to settle a question of etiquette and good manners.

is likely to be more agitated than it was by M.

FATAL CAPE OP HYDROPHOBIA, MELANCHOLY CAA.
UALTY.—The family of Pftillip Ogsbny, of Guilder
land, in this County, have been terribly afflicted.—
One interesting boy has already perished, and two
other members of the family, having been bitten,
live in agonizing apprehension. The facts, ascom
municated to us, are as follows:
About six weeks since, one of Mr. o'e boys, 10
years of age, was bitten by a pet dog which had
been raised in the family; and of which the chi!.
dren were very fond. They were in the habit of
playing with him every day, and were so ingaged
when they wera bitten. Nothing was thOught of it
at the time, nor until about the Ist of this month,
when a hog, which had also been - bitten, was seiz
ed with . hydrophobia, and died.
This al trme,l the family, wha at once procured
such articles as were understood to be serviceable
in such cases—among other things a tea merle of
the inside of white-ash bark. This was drank free
ly by the , youngest boy ; but the other, who has since
tiled, could not be induced to drink.
On Thursday, May, 6, the oldest boy complain
ed of slight indisposition, and on the morning of the
7th : physicians were called in, who pronounced the
case hydrophobia. The poor boy gave every indi
cation of the fearful malady, and suffered greatly
from spasms and convulsions—requiring , while in
his spasmodic agony, two men do hold him,
although but ten years of age.
He continued to sullr r thus until the.evening of
Saturday, when be lay quietly for an hour, and
died.
The brother of the deceased, who was also bitten,
is but five years old; and the thud person (Francis
o , 4=bury) isa young
man, late a graduate of the
Normal School, and nephew of the father of the
two boys. When the fearful truth was revealed,
be was teaching school in the town of Glen, Schen
ectady Co. 'His uncle sent for him immediately
on the death of the boy, and he is now at home,
in the hands of Mr. Crow, of Crouse, and who is
said to have been successful in treating this terrible
disease. We trust that he may prove so in this
case. Up to last evening, no symptoms of the ma
lady had manifested themselves in the persons of
the two survivors. But as it is positively known
that they were bitten, they live in medal apprehen
sion.—Albany Eventng Journal.
DIFFICULTY AMONG THE INDIANS AND MOTES IN
WISCONSIN—THE LOST CHILD.—Some time ago we
published a paragraph relative to a young white boy
six years old, the child of Mr. Pa ridge, which was
lost in the Indian country in Wisconsin, a little
more than a year since, and afterwaids supposed
to be discovered in the possession of a Menomen
ree Squaw. She and the tribe, denied the charge
of the theft. The mother, who belonged to a fami
ly in good circumstances, instituted a suit for the
recovery of leer darling in the State Court, (Wis
consin.) After a-full investigation, the court deci
ded that the child belonged to the Indian woman.
Bat the whites were convicted that the dicieion was
erroneous, if not biased, and they conveyed away
the child to parts unknown. A young lady in Nee•
nah, Wisconsin, writing May 111 b, to her brother in
this city, shedssome further light upon the story.—
We condense from the lever as follows:
The boy was dressed in girls clothes, and sent to
Ohio, where he ie now with his relatives. The
rarents 1110 making preparations to follow him,
fearing the revenge of the Indians. The child when
he was found, was so scarred with the marks of
whips and brands of hot iron that he was hardly
rec..niza $ -. There was a meeting to be held at
Neenah on the Saturday following the date of the
letter, for the purpose of sending petitions to Con
great (or the removal of the Indians. The writer
thinks that if this course is not taken, serious difficul
ties will ensue. Since Mr. Partridge's child has
been sent away, the Indians have made three at.
temps to cany off another boy.
The Indians cling to the child as'though it really
belonged to their tribe. It is a very curious case,
take it all in all.—Clevelend Plairadealer.

SUDDSIII DalTa vacostlimaoream.—The follow
ing sad event occurred in New Haven, Connetticut,
on Friday, 9th April : Mrs. Emily Norton, wife of
Hart Z. Norton, of Norwalk, has been afiicted for
some years with a disease of the jaw and , cheek, re
quiring the extraction of several teeth ; and shewent
to New Haven for the purpose'of having the opera
tion performed by her former medical attendant Mr.
Park. She had last year taken • chloroform with
happy effect, under his care, and now insisted upon
having administered preparatory to the operation.
She was allowed to inhale the chloroform, in very
small quantity, for several minutes; and almost
while she was saying that she felt no effect from it
and was asking for its more free administration the'
dotter noticed the pulse suddenly to change. With
in four or five minutes from the time Ibis change
was noticed, all signs of life were gone, sad the most
vigorous efforts to.resuspitate the woman proved un
availing. At the coroao examination, a number
of witnesses were examined, who testified that buta
half drachm of chloroform was esed, which was ap
plied by inhaling from a sponge moistoned with it.
It was administered at the earnest reqhest attic pa
tient, and hardly any perceptible effect had been pro
duced upon her before she died. . Drs. Knight. Foote
Hooker, Jewett, testified that more than ordinary
care had been used in administering the chloroform
and that they should not have anticipated any fatal
result from it in a similar ease. The verdict of the
coroner's jury entirely exculpated Dr. Part from all
blame. Mrs. Norton was 24 years of age.
PETTLOVS Ocevonsirm—A most thrilling and
perilous occurrence too place on last Wednesday.
near Mundorli's Island York county. Pa., which
came near killing a very worthy young minister ;
Rev. Edmund Kirby of the Baltimore Annual Con
ference. It appears that he was riding on horseback
on the tow-path of the Tide water Canal, and, just
after passing Fry's lock the animal became fright
ened, from some unknown cause, and backed over
the wall with his rider, falling down the steep preci
pice on the craggy and dangerous rocks below, of a
depth of nearly sixty feet. The animals bones were
broken in many places, and he diedehortly after, but
it is truly wonderful that young Kirby escaped with
life. He was taken up on being discovered, and
carefully removed to the residence of Isaac Mundorff
Esti., a here Dr. Baldwin of York county, and Dr.
Kenling of Lancaster county, were in attendance
and rendered all the aid which professional skill
could affort. It is- thought he will speedily recover.
The preciee nature of his is injuries we have not
been able to ascertain.
Tss Nations POIBONED.—We are again called
upon to record a most hideously in human sacrifice
of life, in black hearted and criminal wautoness.—
A whole family consisting of ten persons, residing
one mile below Patriot Ind., were poisoned a few
days since, and five of the number have died. The
suspicion of the crime rests upon a person connect
ed with the family, whose oivn wife, and two of his
own children, with a sister-in-law and brother-in-law
died from the effects of the dose. The family were
taken sick after eating dinner, physicians were sent
for, and poison at once detected. Post mortem ex
aminations were had, and the stomache of one of
the victims was sent to this city to be analyzed, and
we understand that arsenic was the poison adminis
tered. The suspected son-in-law is now under ar
rest, and will undergo examination at Patriot. The
five survivors are yet lying sick, with hopes of recov
ery. We have just learned that the name of the poi
soned family is Blye.
Taunter-a Accreesv.—A son of Mr. Wm. Bpen
dly, of Binghamton about 13 years old, living with
his unele, Richard Spendly, at Bmithboro, was kill
ed on Tuesday afternoon last. in the following man
ner. He was engaged in driving a span of horses
attached to a rollet or leveller in the field of his un
cle. Two hired men and Mr. 8. were at work in
different parts of the field in sight of the team.—
Abour b o'clock they discovered the team had stop
ped, and supposing the lad had gone to the house
for water, took no further notice of it, until the long
time the team remained still attracted their atten
tion when going -to the spot they found the boy un
der the roller, dead, with the lines in his hands,
having been in that condition upwards of half of an
hour. How he came under the roller is unknown,
bat it is supposed he was sitting on the frame work
and fell off: His body, we understand, was taken
yesterday to Binghamton for interment.—Owego
Casette.
Astassysn.—Jonas Young, formerly of this place
was arrested on Saturday last, at the instance of a
Mr. Perkins, residing near Portsmouth, Va„ for elo
ping with his wife. and after a hearing before Jo
seph Bound, Esq., was discharged., It appears that
Mr. Young had been working in Virginia for James
Cameron, and whilst there became acquainted with
Mrs, Perkins, a rather good looking young brunette,
who had left her husband on account of bad con
duct and they left for ttis region of country in com
pany. They arrived here some three weeks %ince,
and represented themselves to be man and woman,
and after remaining a few days': went to the resid
ence of Mr. Young's father, in Clinton county, where
she remained and he returned to Milton, and he was
shortly afterwards arrested. A warrant was also is
sued for Mrs. Perkins, and she was brought here on
Mcnday, but she refused to return with her lawful
husband, and then the matter was dropped, and Mr.
Young and his" dearly beloved" were permitted to
go on their way rejoicing.--Milfinian.
