One of the young Men engaged was found by the troops and murdered without ceremony; the other Was wounded, but 'the'rguilty man, who originated the scheme,` - escaped un harroell. The atfair created a great deal .of excitement. One Seiler Gay, a peninsular and planter, has been in town lately' with the object of bringing about an understanding with the trathekers in negroes. He thinks that if his ideas should be carried out that the certain re suit of preserving Slavery would be attained. Seiler Gay consulted some of the slave Mag nates, such as,for example, Don Cayetanu del , Monte the Count of Laguinillas, the Count of San Fernando, and the 3Larquis of Canipo Florido, with reference to the project. These accepted the views of the schenung planter, and are disposed to aid him in the propagation of hi S vie . .. The plan of operations sug tested by Senor Gay is this : , 1. The Spanish flag must be upheld. • The Government must be stitaineti, to the extent of a sacrifice of life and . property. S.: The planterS must guarantee the payment of all the money emitted or Mho emittedby the Bane() Espanol: The drawing up of the project has' been coin- I mined to the hands of Castanon, audit is said that General De :Roda.s will : lend his countenance tip the Seherae.

DEFALCATION IN BOSTON. LO to - the Nattarial Bank of Nearly 41100,000—The Latest Particulars. 1 - The Hasten 'Post of . Saturday says: Stat e street Was not a little agitated ,wtertlay by ' the announcement that the Paying Teller of the North National Bank had defaulted to a large amount: The stuns were named in a most 'miscellaneous manner', varying front i 3100,000 to 5300,000. Like most rumors, the figures were too lofty. The offender in this . case is Mr. Daniel 1 , ... 4 Saunders; Jr., and the story is the old one—that of speculation. , This has been carried on for a long time, but by skilful management the Directors anti others connected with the bank have been unaware of the facts of the case: On Monday, I however, the directors had an intimation that i all was not right, and at once instituted an I examination into the accounts generally. i They proceeded so far yesterday as to discover the scheme Mr. Saunders had been practicing. 1 He lout been engaged during the past three I years, in connection with certain brokers, in I stock' speculations,, using ... - Nor this, purpose i *money belonging to the bank. These onate are said to have , proved disastrous, and con cealment became impossible. The affair is as unexpected as 'it is unfortunate. But it adds another to the 10n...1 list of similar schemes 1 which have proved quite too much for their unfortunate originators. As to the amount of the defalcation many rumors are afloat, but from, official sources it 'is stated that it does not exceed 5100,000. A careful examination of the books of the bank .is progtessing, and the defalcation is found to be confined exclusively to , the Teller's ' ac counts. The bank will not probably be. greatly - affected by the affair, as its surplus fund pre j vious to the defalcation was 3:300,000.. _ Saunders has hererofore-borne a good repu tation, and is respectably connected. He is ....matTieib. ar!d reSid _W esininter,street,..Salem. Ire served tintingthe rebellion as corporal in the Salem Light Infantry, n hid formed part of the Fifteenth Regiment.

No further par - ticulars have been received, but from what we learn of the state of affairs, we presume that the attempt was made by some one in the 'Cacos (rebel) interest.

Mrs. Bernard ap peared in her old Part of "Maritana," and,we . Thought, sang with even greater spirit than usual. Her performance wag \ more satisfactory than that , of any of her colleagties..M . rs. Bow lert however, deserves warm praise for her personation of the Page, and especially for the manner in Which she sang the charming aria in the prisonscene„ _The_part:generally is a thankless one, and unless the singer is in earnest, she is apt to do the little thit 'has to be done carelessly. Mrs. Bowler, seems, to be heartily interested hi everything she undertakes, and she has already won the good opinion of the Public by her sincerity, not less than her artistic skill. 31r. Drayton's "Don Jose" was excellent as far as the acting was concerned, but he did not sing as well as usual. Mr. Haigh gave little. satisfaction. His vocalization was wretched, whether from indifference or from sickness we do not know, but we incline to attribute it to the former cause, for the reason that Mr. Haigh e ral times indulged in levity which did not argue any depression of spirits or physical ill-health. This gentleman has a noble voice,and he hasfavored us once or twice each evening with a brief display of its quali ties, but he has not ventured to' make a sus tained effort. If lie has not the excuse of sick . ness, he will have to do better to succeed here, and win popularity. The chorus did not :do justice to the music on Saturday,... A.%chorus master is badly needed , to, drill the singers thoroughly. Mr. Behrens undertakes it now. ' we believe, and he could do it well , if be had nothing else to engage his attention, but if he ' can manage to keep the orchestra straight, he will haye his hands full, without teaching the singers their duties. The programme for the present week is as follows : This evening, the Bohemian Girl; to-morrow, B. Troretore; on Wednesday, _Martha ; Thursday, Maritana.
