Not being disposed to prolong the interview, or accept his ofler, I walked to the statboard gang way without reply, atid entering the firstcutter pull ed for the Constellation. The moment I reached her deck, 1 ordered the boat to shove off and re turn to the brig, and then walked aft to meet lite commodore. I ptoceeded at once to detail my adventures, so far as was necessary lo explain my appearance in his vessel, arid concluded by surrendering myself a prisoner. He heard me through, patiently and courteously, arid then, pursuing Ins own investiga tion, inquired 'he particulars ol Seymour's conduct and cruise. When I had fitti-hed a brief sketch ol the same, he abrup'ly asked if all her slaves were then ashore, and all hands and Seymour aboard.— 1 told them they we e '• Mr Roberts," said he. to his fourth lieutenant, " take ten men and board the ship which has just anchored between us and the slaver; she has a long range of cable out; present my tepecl6 to her commander, and request him to heave-short; assist him wi h \ou r men, and remain on board of her till recalled Mr. Thompson, (first lieu'enan') clear away and man the starboard batttery—load with round, grape arid canister, and order the gunner to open the magazine and stand by lo pass up pow der." By the time thee orders were obeyed, the mer chantmati had hove-short, and the brig lay exposed to view. "Take good aim, my lads." said Montague, u at the slaver. All ready. Fire ? ' At the word, the whole of the Constellation's star" board broadside was poured into the btig, teat ing open her bulwarks and dismounting Iter guns.— For five minutes, the frigatp continued a most ter rible battery, ami Montague then perceiving that the brig was a total wreck, ceased firing, and or dered the boats to be manned lo board her As the men were jumping into rhe boats, I observed that the bug was evidently beginning to sink, and was communicating that fact to an officer near me, when an explosion, louder than thunder, rent the heavens, and the slaver, blown into ten thousand fragments, flew into the air Fur an instant there was a dead silence, which was followed by the falling ol the shattered masts, spars and planks of Ihe brig, mingled with the dead bodies ot her men Ard thus as it ought, ends the •' CRUISE OF A GUINEA MAN." IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE! BLOODY WORK AT SEBASTOPOL! Sanguinary Fights cn the 4th and sth of November! HEAVY LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES! Terrible Destruction of English CaTalry The Collins mail steamship Baltic, Captain Com stock, arrived at New York at nine o'clock Sunday morning. She lef: Liverpool at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the 15h inst. The news is four days later, and of the highest | importance. There had been a great battle before Sebastopol, j in which sixty thousand Russians and fifty Ihous- j and Anglo French troops weie engaged. It occur | red on the stft inst., and lasted nearly the whole ; day. Eight thousand Russians and five thousand of the allied troops were pl.iced hors da combat The allies claim the victory. With every wish to do justice to the admirable bravery of the allies, and with no desire to black en news already too disastrous, it is impossible to ' escape the conviction thai the army before Sebas | topol is a position of great peril. A poriion of the | intelligence, both good and bad, is hushed up from j ihe public, but trom the facts that have transpired, | very different inferences may be drawn than those set forth semi officially in the London limes The best that can be said for the news on the part of the allies is that it is of a chequered des cription. A succession of hard fights has been fought, and victories gained, each victory costing j as much as a defeat. At the same time, so close ly have these affairs been drawn, that the Russians —equally with the allies, claim the advantage It is now admitted that the defences of Sebastopol ; were underrated, the bravery of the enemy under rated, and the torce of Menscbikoff in the field al togehter unexpected. The intelligence ol this battle, although consid ered a great triumph to the allied army, caused a very depressed feeling in France and England.— The greatest exertions were being made to send out reinforcement lo Ihe Crimea. It is stated in correspondence from Berlin of the 12:h, that the Russian reply to the late Prussian note has arrived thete. The Russian cabinet does not unreservedly accept, but is disposed to discuss the four points as a basis for negotiation We learn that Prince Gortschakoff has officially announced to Count Buol that Russia is prepared to treat di rect with Austria on the basis ol the tour conditions This is here considered a palpable attempt to cause disunion between Austria and the Western Powers. There was a rumor in Vienna that Baron Roth schilJ, finding his recent purchase ot the Austrian government railways a bad bargain, offered the government a loan of 200.000,000 fiances to can cel Ihe agreement. His proposal, if Hue, will exer cise a considetable influence on financial affairs. The French Official Report. Gen. Canroberl's official report ol the battle ol Nor. 5 is published in the Moniteur of the 13th.— He say*: The Russian army, swollen by reinforcements from the Danube, as well as by the combined re serves of all the southern provinces, and animated by the presence of the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, attacked yesterday, Nov 5, the right of English position before Sebastopol. Tho English army sustained the attack with the most remarkable fiimness and solidity. I support ed it by a portion ot General Bosquet's division. as well as by the troops, which were nearest to the English position. The enemy, who far outnumbered our force, beat a retreat, with a loss estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 men The struggle lasted a whole day. At the same time General Forey was forced to repulse a sot tie made by the garrison, and under bis energetic command, the enemy were driven back into the place, with a loss ol 1,000 killed and wounded The brilliant day, which was not purchased with out considerable loss by the allies, does the great est honor to our arms. The siege continues with regularity. (Signed) CANROBERT. The Russian Account. A telegraphic dispatch from St. Petersburg, dat ed November 12, states that Prince Menschikofl reports to the Emperor, under date the 6th Novem ber, from Sebastopol, that on the sth the garrison made two sorties, one against the right flank, which was successful, and re6olted in the capture ol one of the enemies batteries, the guns in which were spiked. There was great loss on both sides. The second sortie was also completely success ful ; the Russians ha* ing spiked 15 guns. Immediately atterwards a French infantry divis ion, pursuing the retiring Russsians attempted to mount to the assault, fcuf was thrown back t eith im mense loss. Battle Nest Bay—Result Undecided. The Morgtn Post, of Vienna, has the following dejpatch from CZERNOVIT/, Nov. 11—On the6th the whole gar rison ol Sebastopol, amouuiing lo 65.000 men, made a sor'ie. A furious ballle ensued, which was net ended when the messenger let, but the allies bad the ad vantage. This composes all the reliable intelligence re ceived ol these operations. The Russians attack of die 5 h is conceded on all sides lo have been veiy favorable, and to have inflicted immense loss on the allies, although they were victorious. The latest dispatches published at Vienna, dated Nov. 11, teporis a sortie of the whole Russian garrison on the next day—the re.-uli ot which was not known. Nothing is rnoie likely than that such an assault would be made; and in the condition of the Allied armies af er the battle of the previous day, a disastrous result would riol be very surprising. Attach upon the Allies by the Russians. The London Times of rhe 15th gives the follow ing dispatch fiom Vienna, received by Submarine and lhitish telegraph- VIENNA, Monday Evening. The following is an epitome of several authentic dispatches of the 5 h from the Crimea: " Early on the morning of the 6 h ihe gariison ol Sebas opol and the army in the field made a vi olent attack on the right wing ol the Allied army, composed of the English Foot Guards, and the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions 1 Gen Bosquet's divisions advanced to the sup port of the English, and subsequently other French troops, under Gen. Canrobert, arrived. " The battle lasted till the afternoon, when the Russians retired, having suffered a heavy loss, and leaving sevetal hundred prisoners in the hands of i the English; the latter lost a grr ater number ol ! men Gens. Btown, Bentinck, Butler and Torrens > weie more or less dangerously wounded I " The prevalent opinion here is, that if such an other victory is obtained, the Allies will be obliged to raise the siege; but it is a good sign that last Russian dispatch publi.-h only reaches up to the sih Its sense is, that two somes were made on that da'e—one against the right wing of die Allies, and the other against the left wing ol the siege works On the right wing ofiheanuy the guns of one bat tery were spiked, ar.d the other Isguns were spik ed. The loss on both sides was very severe A French division, which pursued the Russians, and i attempted to enter with them, was repulsed with i great loss " A terrific storm is raging here to-day. 1 " Prince Gortschakoff has officially announced j to Count Buol that Russia is prepared to treat direct I with Austria on the basis ot ttie four conditions. This is considered here a palpable attempt to 1 cause disunion between Austria and the Weslern I Powers." Slaughter of English Cavalry, The mast nodcable incident which occurred dur ing the battle of the 5 h, was the terrible destruction of English cavalry, ot which a rnrrtoi was brought by the Canada, and leltgraphed lr< m Halifax. It seems that the charge of cavalry thai precipitated so many into certain destruction was the result of a mistake, or, at least of a misconception of orders arising from the esprit de corps thai induced the cavalry to attempt some brilliant exploit to retrieve the secondary part they played at the battle of Al ma In short,| misconst uing an order from the | commander-in-chief, conveyed by Captain Nolan, Lords Lucart and Card gan rode the light horse a plaitt a mile atwi a halt in length, and exposed to a cross fire, full at a Russian battery of 30 guns ! The attempt was madness, and the result destiuc lion. The ttoops were: Went into action.

Ot this latter charge. Lord Reglan says : " The charge ol this brigade (heavy cavalry.) was one of the most successful I ever witnessed, was never for a mo ment doubtful, and was in the highest degreecred itable to Brigadier General Scarlet and the officers and men engaged in it." It, and the brave s and made by the Scotch Highlanders, and some assis tance given by the French, certainly redeemed the day. After the action, it was resolved by the Al lies to abandon the position at Babklavas, and to retire to the hills overlooking the town, in which case the depot would have been established at Ar row Bay or Cherson Bu' advices of the 27th state that it has been redecided to retain Balaklava. FIRES IN WAVNE COUNT?. — From theHonesdale Herald of the 16th, we gather the following partic ulars of the recent fire* in that direction ; The people of our Borough were again aroused by the cry of fire last Sunday morning about 5 o'clock. The fire was discovered to be in the rear part of the Barn ol the Honesdale House, now kept by David Jtllard. The fire companies were soon on the ground and the flames were prevented trom spreading to other building* in the vicinity There were several horses and carriages in Ihe barns, but a portion of the properly was saved.— Three horses, one cow, and all the hay, Brain. &c., were burned. Loss probably about sls 000. This makes seventeen horses and two cows that have been burned in this borough within about 14 months.—The Dwelling of Win L Gainsfort, two miles below Honesdale, was destroyed by fire Thursday night at 12J o'clock, together with every article of furniture, clothing, provisions, &c. The fire was far advanced when discovered, allowing the family barely lime to escape wi-h their lives Some of the adult members caught up the clothing they wore the previous day, but the children were carried out in their sleeping garments. His new dwelling, near by, was several times on fire, but happily saved. Mr. G.'s, accounts, notes, and papers, were all burnt. Loss estimated at SI2OO, only a small part of which is covered by insurance The house belonged lo the Del & Hud. Canal Co., and was of little value. The fires are suspected of being the work of an incendiary. THE NEW YO.IK "VITRIOL" OUTRAGE.—A man named THEODORE H. GRAT had been arrested in New York on the charge of having been engaged in throwing vitriol on the dresses of ladies on leav ing the theaters and places of amusement al night. The Express says: " By the operations of Gray, rich opera cloaks, shawls, &.C., to the value of many thousand dollars, have been ruined, and in one instance the ankle of a young lady was severely burned by this danger ous fluid, thrown by Gray. " Some of his friends, men of respectability, claim that he is a religious enthusiast and partially deranged Gray is a man of family and a mem ber of the Baptist church, and it is said in good and regular standing He has been engaged in the printing business for five or 6ix years, doing a large quantity of printing for various religious "as sociations. He is only twenty-eight years and noted for his amiable and inoffensive charac ter." A large number ol those who have suffered at the hands ol Gray have preferred complaints against him. The Commercial says : " The prisoner admits that he is guilty ol all the charges thus lar brought against him, and says he was led to commit these assaults by a religious in fluence. Being bitterly opposed to evil doers, he first commenced throwing vitriol upon the common street walkers, such as females of bad character. He soon afterwards was convinced that persons who went to theaters were almost as vile, and he was prompted to inflict this method of punishment opon them. He expresses much sorrow for his conduct" ■9lral>fw& fUejwßr. E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. Towanda, {Saturday, December 2,1851. ESPECIAL NOTICE. The REPORTER trill be furnished at ONE DOLLAR per annum invariably in advance, and will be sent no longer than paid for. Subscribers will hive four weeks notice previous to the expiration of their subscription ; when, if U is not renewed, (he paper will be stopped. Those in arrears can avail themselves of hesc terms by settling. We shall give them until the dose of the present Volume, when we shall stop sending the pa per to every subscriber in arrears Any pri son sending us five new subscribers with the Cash, will receive a copy gratis for one year; or Six Copies will be sent to one address a year for S5. j As the success of the Cash system depends upon its strict i observance, onr Terms will be impartially and in- ! flexibly adhered to NEW ARRANGEMENT. REDUCTION IN PRICE ! Ail experience of fifteen years in publishing a newspaper, has satisfied us that the Credit system is radically wrong, both to the Pub lisher aud to the Subscriber. Under its ope ration a large amount is coustantly due from subscribers located in everv part of the coun ty, which at best cau be realized only by waiting years, and in two many cases is ut terly worthless, the person receiving the paper having deceased, or left the county, and the printer has the vexation of finding that he is ; not to receive anything for the labor and ex pense of years. On the other hand, we are obliged to charge promptly paying subscribers a sum sufficient to make up these losses. Having become thoroughly satisfied that the system of advance payments is better both for publisher and subscriber, we have determined to adopt it. Hereafter the ' Re porter ' will be furnished to subscribers at ONE DOLLAR per annum, payable invaria bly in advance, and will be sent no longer than paid for. These terms will be inflexibly adhered to. Those of our present subscribers who are indebted to us, and wish to avail themselves of these terms, can do so upon settlement We shall continue to send them the paper until the close of the present volume, (which will be about the first of June next,) upon the original terms, when we shall positively dis continue sending the paper to every subscri- ! her in arrears, and proceed to collect the am ount due us.

We shall give this plan a thorough trial.— We believe it will meet the approbation of all those who desire to take, and pay for, a County paper ; and we are certain it will re lieve us from many of the vexations and dis appointments for which the business is pro verbial. We shall at least have the satisfac tion of knowing that we have pay for every paper sent ; and, we trust, of feeling that we have given to every subscriber the full value of his Dollar. To any person sending us five new subscribers, with the cash, ($5) we will send the Reporter gratis, one year. MAIL ROBBER ARRESTED AT ELMIRA.— A series of extensive mail depredations having lately been commitled at Elmira, Col. NORTH, an agent ol the Department paid a visit to that place during the past week, and arrested LEWIS H STONE, who was taken to New York. STONE bad been in the employ of the Elmira contractor, who carries the mail U> ar.d from lire Erie Railroad cars ; and the opportunity thus given him to secrete mail-bags, he seems to have im proved—or rattier misimproved to its utmost. Ten mail bags, mjled of their contents, were found se creted irt a vault near the barn where Stone stabled his horse ; and we are informed there is little doubt of his guilt. Col. North lias been aided in (his mat ter by Deputy Marshal C.K Loomis. The prison er was arraigned before a U. S Commissioner and commited to answer the charge of-' abstracting the contents and 4 embezzling valuable remittances lrom the U. S. Mails." ERIE RAILROAD.—We learn from the New York Daily Times, that a strong movement in favor of Temperance has been made on the Erie Railroad Ihe Superintandent, Mr. MCCALLUM. has deter mined, so far as he is able, to prevent the sale of liquor at the Depots on the line of the Road. Turn er's Staiion, in Orange County, has heretofore been the regular stopping place for meals, &c, and liquor has been sold at the bar in great quantities. The employes oi the Company have teen somewhat too prone to refresh themselves, the running of the trains was altered, so that few or none ol them stopped for meals until the evil was abated In consequence of this action, the bar at Turner's has been removed, the counter taken up arid transport ed to parts unknown, aud only coffee aud spring water remain to beptocured within the Depot buil dings. At the private bar of the house, notice is given to the effect that no liquor ■ will hereafter be sold to persons known to be employed on the Road. Similar action, it is understood, wili be taken at other points. THE HARTFORD CATHOLIC EXCITEMENT.—The Bishop of Hartford, Rev. Bernard O'Rielley, pub lishes a letter in the Providence Journal, in which he slates that he was not asked to give a burial place in front of the church in Hartford fur Rev Mr Brady ; that was not a suitable place for a grave being a public side walk ; that Mr. Brady owned a burial ground, where the Bishop had a tight to suppose he would prefer to be buried ; that ths Hartford church belonged to him, (ihe Bishop;) and that had he been informed in season of Mr. Brady's wish to be buried buried 1 near the church' he would at once have directed his interment with in the chnrch " FATAL AND DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. —About noon on Thurday last, as Mr. JOHN HANSOM, wife and child were crossing the railroad track a 6hort dis lance below the depot at Williamsport, in a top buggy, the horse obstinately refused to go either backward or forward, and a wood train which was slowly backing towards them striking a loose car standing uoon the track, drove it upon the buggy, which was mushed beneath it, killing Mr Ransom almost instantly. The head of the unfortunate lady, in falling struck a sharp stone which fractured her skull in the region of the eye, and she had other severe injuries upon her person. It is supposed that the violent tall front the buggy killed her, as the car did not run over her its headway being so slow that it was stopped by the fragments of the vehicle. Mr. Ransom saved himself by jumping from the buguy with the child in his arms, and en deavored to pull his wife out with him. Nn blame whatever for this fatal result can be attached to the engineer of die wood train or any other person.— The accident was one of those melancholy casual ties. which instantly snap the brittle threaJ ol life, and which human foresight cannot avoid. Mrs. Ransom was the only daughter of Mr. S. G An drus, of Elmira, and was an amiable, intelligent and kind hearted lady. Her losa will be deeply [eft by all who knew her. Her remains were taken to Elmira for burial. GENERAL CASS " AROUND" YET. —The Washing ton Star stated the oilier day dial General Cass never intended again to be a candidate for the Presidency. The Detroit Tunes —which is the rec ognised organ of the Democratic Sta e Committee, and understood to command die especial ar.d cx ! elusive confidence, so lar as the Detroit press i* ! concerned,of Governor Barry—takes occasion to cor rect the misapprehension, and explicitly declares he will be in the field upon that occa-ion. The Times says: " The assump'ion that Gen. Ca's has laid aside all aspirations for the Presidency is entirely gratu tous on ihe part ol our Washington contemporary Here at home his friends protest azainst thin coldly despatching him with a simile stroke of the pen, and will, by his consent, bring his name forward in their own lime. We say distinctly that Gen Cass will be a candidate before the National Con vention. and nothimz is more calculated to sharpen i thai determination titan just such paragraphs a die above, and ihe occasional blows which fie receives from a large portion of ihe sou hern press Besides the idea of western Cass men being transferred 07er to Douglas is too silly to be commented upon.'' DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WILLI MSPORT. —Between six an J seven o'clock, on Ftiday evening last, a fire was discovered in ihe sash, blind, and furni ture manufactory of Mr. WILLIAM FINK, on Will iam Street, which resulted in the entire destruction of the building in which the fire originated, and an adjoining building, which was used as a finishing shop, store room, and cabinet ware room. Both buildings were filled with combustible material, and burned rapidly. Very little furniture was sav ed, and that in a damaged condition. The origion of the fire is not known. On the first named build ing there was an insurance of S3 000, and SSOO on the other. Both insurances had been lately effect ed in the Northwestern Insurance Company of Philadelphia. Mr. Fink's loss, ever and above his insurance, we are informed, will be more than : $2,000. A GOOD OLD AGE —Pied at the Trappe, Mont gomery county. Pa., o:i Wednesday morning last, Mrs Maigrst Moser, aged 104 years 4 months and 17 days. She continued in the enjoyment of her faculties until her last moments. The narratives of her early life, were matters of much interest to the youth of our day, who frequently sought her com pany for that purpase. She knew of but little sick ness during her long life, after she ha J reached hei ninetieth year, she was frequently known to go on foot a distance of 3 miles, on Sunday morning, to attend church, arid to return the same day. Her eye sight became defective during the last year, but when any person approached her, with whom she had any previous acquaintance, upon the men tion of the name, she at once would state where such persons resided, his business, and other in cidents. She truly was a remarkable woman. THE Fennsylvanian of Saturday contains an offi cial call for a meeting of the Stale Central Com mittee, on the 26th inst., " for the pu'pose," as the call 6ays, " of organizing the Democratic party on a more permanent basis, consolidating it against the secret and insidious assaults that have lor a time impaired its usefulness and efficiency in car rying out our cherished principles, and to render it impregnable in future against die approaches of the various and dangerous isms and delusions ot the day." THE FOREIGN NEWS which we publish this wepk will be found of unusual interest. Several bloody ennacemerits had taken place, near Sebastopol, in which the Allies were victorious but at an expense of life which is scarcely less disastrous than a de feat Tfie latest news is to the 6th of November, on which day a final and decisive battle is believ ed to have taken place Further intelligence will be awaited with great anxiety. SNOW. —On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, says the Susquchanmih Register, some three or four inches of snow tell in Montrose, being the first we have had this Fall in any considerable quantity. There was the music of sleigh bells ihrough our sireeis yesterday, but to-day the snow is melting and the sleighing is pretty much spoiled, so that sleigh-ridine has to be left out of the pro gramme for Thanksgiving. MR. SOL'I.E. —The Washington Slur, of Monday, says the impression prevails among the European diplomatists at Washington, that the Spanish gov ernment, acting under the prestige or influence of what tias of late transpiied in France, will certainly refuse again to receive Mr. Soule. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.— The halls of the Senate and House of Representatives, at Harris burg, are undergoing a thorough cleansing and re fitting, preparatory to the meeting of the Legisla ture. HON ELLIS LHWIS becomes Chief Justice ol the Supreme Court of the S'aie, on the Ist of Decern ber, in place of the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, whose term as Chief Justice then expires. THE MORMONS have sent out one more Elders ai Missionaries, of whom, John Taylor, is one of the Twelve Apostles. His destination is New York city, where he is to publish a newspaper. He i e accompanied by assistant* and counselors. Important from Washington. Special Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald. WASHINGTON, NOV. 2G, 1354. The President's message, which is already com pleted, is to be kept back nil the lasl moment, lor lear some war like in'Hligetice should be received before next Monday week which would rentier it necessary 10 change its tone in speaking of out foreign relations Jhe message, as completed, it IS u riders ood, is richer quiet, suggeiing nouiteuor s'epa as regaids Spain, hut simply stating iheie.-uli ol the negotiations up to this point, namely : a total failure in receiving any sa'islactoiy apo.ogy or ex platia'iona lor the Black Warrior and oiher oui rages.

Pierce's former messages arid his editorials in die Union The greatest alarm is leh by the Cabinet for fear Smile should manage to kick up a row, and force the Piestdeiit to recommend die adoption ol hos tile measures. Even Marcy believes thai if Soule is treated with disiespect it must be viewed as " a national insuh," whilst the contingency ol his ie tnaudiiig Ins passports arid quitting Spain will be tantamount to a declaration of war. Of course die Cabinet are not quite so ignorant as nol to under stand that under ordinary circumstances the dis missal nf a Mmister would aflmd no reasonable ground for belligerent proceedings; but they believe that the position which they have taken, dial the acquisition of Cuba is a cardinal point in dieir policy, leaves no resource open but to quarrel with Spain upon die sligh'esi pretext The good set.se of Congress is all that the country has to ie ly upon The delay in fin shing the reports olihe different surveys across the co (merit will afford the I'resi dent an opportunity ol avoiding cornrnniing him sell upon the Pacific R .ilroad question in the for h cormng Message.

Special Dispatch to the N V. Daily Times. Probable Dismiss rl of Messrs. Soule and Mason. WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 27. Mr. Piatt, Secretary of Legation at Paris, arrived in town to-day, bringing dispatches, which, unless rumorns entirely at fault, will prove a text for much talk in Washington and out. Their contents at least, are understood to be interesting and highly ! important. Our S-cretary ol S'ate is not well pleased with ! the behavior of our Ministers to Spain and Franco, i Both Mr. Soule and Mr Mason he holds to have recklessly committed our Government in thilawk ' ward affair—the inteiference with the movements J of Mr. Soule by France. There is reason to sus- j pect, indeed, that our Secretary will not he at lib- ; eriy to digest at his leisure, and quiedy, his own ; impressions on die subject. For, Mr. Mason is ! very likely m be dismissed Irom the French Coun, ; while Mr. Soule is almost certain to be dismissed from Madrid. Both have anticipated dissatisfac tion on die part of our Government, and have written home with that reference. Their exclusion cannot be resented, as we have repeatedly recog nized the right ola G ivernment lo decline in'er course wuli a Minister who is offensive to it. Mr Piatt's dispatches probably have relerence to this matter. S. Correspondence of die Courier & Knquier, Nov. 23. Col. Kinney's Designs—Colony of American Rifle men in the Mosquito Territory The meditated expedition 10 Central America, under Col. Kinney of Texas, may lead to important result#. He is lo be the local agent of the Central American Land and Mining Compnny, which claims to be the sole and righ'ful possessor ol San Joan and all the surrounding territory lor three or four hundred miles up ami down Ihe coast. The views of Col. Kinney are understood to be of a fil blistering character. He and his rangers will as sert lie tide of their p incipals to the Mosquito contitiy by the # rorig hand i! necessary ; and will receive a million or so ol acres as their fee for so valuable a service. But it may be doubled wheth er, in these degenerated days, working men are not moie essential to the foundation of empire than fighting-men. The establishment of a few hundred sharp-eyed American riflemen in that region, how ever, will have a tendency to adjust some ol the troublesome qnesiious which have for a number of years disturbed our rela'iorn wj:h Central America.

TIOGA COUNTY.—A distressing accident occurred in Middiebory township on Sunday last, by which Mr. Zephaniati Wordeti, a very respectable citizen, lost his life Through the kindness ot Mr. L I Nichols, we are in possession of the following par ticulars: .
