There has been so much swindling practiced
by briefleas pettifoggers to obtabi living out
of the bard earnings of credulous ‘people by
representations of their possible title to pro
perty left without heirs over theerater," that
a few hints Conveyed by a London communi
cation copied in the American Law Review, may
not be out of place in setting Americans right
to the matter. . •
Judah .P. Benjamin writes to the New
Orleans Times that, since his call to the Eng
lish bar, hundreds of letters have reached him
from different parts of the 'Jaen, making in
quiries relative to estates represented as un
claimed and awaiting American heirs. In
every instance that has come to his knowledge,.
the representations, from whatever .source
they came, have proved false and were evi
dently made for purpose of defrauding under
the pretext of paying the costs of records,
copies, &c., said to he necessary for the,asser
non of the pretended claim. • ,
Mr. Benjamin cites one or two plausible' ex
amples, and gives the usual mode of proce
dure, which has in one or, two instances, come
undet our own observation, wherein 1 the
"agent" of London solicitore, at first under
takes the businem for a per tentage on the
amount actually realized, but just at the "ed.,
tical moment"`calls on his dupes for funds,
Mr. Benjamin conchtdes his letter as follows,:
".Most of the persons who ars .dupedi are
ignorant • on two pointh, which, in nearly
every instance, would satisfy them at once:of
the utter,folly of the.hopes they indulge. The
first is. that an alien cannot bean. heirin ling
land when there is no will, and that he'eannot
take real eatate, even if left te. him by will.
The second is, that in . Englandestates flevolve
upon the eldest son alone, and on his oldest
son in succession and are not divided into
share's among alethe children. Yet nothing
more eonAn on, than foe pereetis; to asfiert heir

The Hondo' non Ilta.whe Concert.
—Moses in Egypt was produced at the Aett
demyi last eveming, 'under the auspices of the
Handel and Haydn Society. It was not, all
things considered, an
. especially, fortunate
selection.. There is an abundance of solos and
concerted pieces in this work. in which the
'chorus has no part, and the choral partition is
not, perhaps, the most interesting portion, So
that the burden of this performance fell upon
the solo artists engaged.• Of them it may be
said that they would have been heard to bet
ter advantage in a testi capacious auditorium;
and we think it behooves the Society, itself, to
give up the Academy for the present; at least,
until a considerable addition is , made
to the ranks of 'its members.' Neces
sarily, much of the effect of this performance
was lost by reason of. the inadequacy of the
force. present. What the chorus had to do
last night was not of an extraordinarily diffi
cult ohmmeter, and it was done as well as the
lisadvantageous circumstances permitted.
The solos are all written In the florid „Italian
style, and are only to be sung by, artists
thoroughly trained In that school. They are
not in the oratorio style at all ; entirely operatic
in character, they are properly to be given by
singers accustomed to the
,lyric drama. In
view of this fact, Mrs. Schimpl, whose expe
rience in Italian music is 'greater. than
that of her associates of last evening, did
much the best, and quite distinguished herself.
3lessrs. Simpson and Gastel, excellent artists
as they are, were out of their element through.-
out the whole performance, and the duet in
the second part, with which Salvi and .Badiali
used to electrify great audiences, was only in
teresting. The same may be said of _'firs•
Brainard and the rest. Out: characterization
of the selection as an onfortunate one will
therefore be understood. The experience of
last evening will doubtless occasion econvic-,
tion on the part of the direction, that it is
better for a choral society to adhere to the
legitimate oratorio, leaving the upera, howso
ever disguised, to those whose peculiar speci
alty it Is.
The Parepo-Roore Troupe.
—The Parepa•Rosa Opera Troupe promise
to produce the Marriage of Figaro, at their
first appearance on Friday night, in unusually
handsome style. The cast is an excellent one,
including all the best members of, the com
pany. On Saturday afternoon Madame Rosa
will appear for the first time in this city as
"Arline,'' in The Bohemian Girl. The pro
gramme for next week includes Faust, 11
Troratore, Der Freyachulz, Martha, Fra
Diorolo, and, perhaps, the Marriage .
1)1 ' Figaro. We understand that .Madame
I:osa is very anxious to produce Von
Weber's beautiful opera, Oberon, this
city in the month of March, and: she will cer
tainly do so if the Directors of the Academy
will agree to supply the necessary additiona
scenery. We sincerely hone that Madame
Rosa's request may be complied with. Oberon
has _never been produced in this country, and
we axe sure that we may have it and the Mid
summer Night's Dream included_ in the reper
toires of nearly all the, opera companies that,
visit this city if facilities areafforded for their,
proper presentation. •

is a northeastern section of Paris,
and adjoins the famous Quartier du Temple.
Tim Boulevard do Belleville, part of the
Boulevard of the Exterieur, passes thrr ugh it.
The streets in Belleville are narrow and wind
ing, having remained untouched during the
demolitions effected under 'the directions of
Baron Elaiestmann. It stands on a rising
giound, and seems the only place left .of old
Paris, i, which a popular rising could be
eliected with success against a strong Military
force. M. Rochefort represents the district in
the Corps Legislatif, and received at the late
election about 20,000 votes. The population are
tincipally vrorkingimen and their familles. -
ese men are ail intense Eepublicanb and
cherish the revolutionary principleswhich all
the associations of the district inspire. Al
though common report assigns sinister mo
tives to Napoleon 111. for leaving this section
of Paris unaltered, he has not failed to 'take
precautions against a popular insurrection.
Close by stands the Caserne Prince Eugene,
capable of accommodating 5,000 Soldiers, and
so situated as to command Belleville and
cause considerable destruction by its guns.
This movementderives importance from the
coincidence it has with that of '4B in • many
features. tin the morning of the memorable
23d of February in that year the streets were
full of people, many of whom were armed,and
all in the highest state of excitement. As
seems to be likelyat present, there were con
flicts between the Municipal Guard and the
people between Rue St. Antoine and Rue
Montmartre, and between Rue St. Martin
and Rue Vielle du Temple. At sun
down the fighting appeared to be gen
erally suspended, and the people seemed
as if waiting to see what would result from
the new ministerial' changes. Toward eve
ning, however, an immense crowd, unarmed
and preceded by torehes, came down the Bou
levard and stopped before Guizot's residence,
where they rept the air with defiant cries.'An
accidental shot from this house broke the leg
of an officer's horse. The officer in command,
thinking his troops were attacked, with
out a' moment's consideration, g , ave the
'v tier .to fire, and - detachniefli o 1

bred, and fifty-two persons fell dead and
rounded. A cry of horror and astonishment
I urst from the crowd —" They assassinate us !
they assassinate us! To arms! to arms!"
Sounded on every side. This proved one of
those critical moments which determine the
result of French -revolutionary conflicts.
There was no longer any thought of recon
ciliation ; all night the people toiled at the bar
ricades, and at sunrise the next morning
scarcely street was passable to cavalry or ar
tillery,. On the 24th there was desperate
fighting at the Chateau d'Eau, and it was evi
dent that the insurgents intended to attack the
luileries. The National Guard, however,
Soon fraternized with the people ; the King
and Royal family hastened from. Paris, and
the Provisional Government was proclaimed,
which included Arago, Ledru Rollin, Ore
taieux—names which now loom up iu
the latest
,protest which historic Paris has
given agamst.u.surpation and imperialism.
' • St. Denis, where revolutionary movements
are reported, is about six miles north of Paris.
It Is probable that the secret organization
which guides the present movement may have
ordered a rising at this point simultaneously
with that in Paris, in order- to divert the at
tention of the authorities. A railroad con
nects St. Denis with - Paris. --- During -- the first
revolution, by a decree of the Convention, the
royal tombs in the Abbey Church of St. Denis
were rifled of their contents, and the remains'
of kings and queens were thiown` into two
large catches opposite the northern porch:
' Vincennes is about one and a half miles cast
of Paris. It contains powder magazines and
cavalry barracks.
PORTO RICO.
Porto Rico and General Sans.
` A protest against the statements made in the
reektnt manifesto which Gen: Sauz had signed
has"been drawn up in Porto Rico, and unmet
-0118 signatures have been attached to it. Re
fet ring to the struggle in Cuba, and the man
ner in whi eI:L.(3 en. San z's manifesto was signed,
it says : •

Awell-known character in Parisian circles,
lisd founder of the French Jockey Club,C'onut
e Chateau-Villard, died a few months ago,
I eying behind him a considerable fortune,the
positiou of a portion of which, by reason of
its eccentricity, is.just now under ,considera

the Count's two. grown-up, ; children, the off

during his life-time, the celebrated French
sportsman was in the habit of burying his old
hounds in a particular enclosure on his es
tate, and tjuathe had erected over them a
monumental column inscribed::" To, my true
iriends."' .
The Count, however, desired, to car ry his
affection for ; those., rnembera of the brute
creation a stop further and .totbe buried be

of peril and suffering and eltraniaed . hair

was calling to sailors and passengers' in exult

sweeping crash of the boisterous visitant will
bring to unwilling ears fresh terrors—at least

to that unwished-for result. Each brings the•
same, or a similar tale of heavy gales, cold.
and suffering, and escape.our ears, keep:"
ing . all in painful suspense in anticipa
tion of the unwelcome climax of disaster, the
culmination of all these horrors in a complete,
fearful shipwreck,with great loss of life. How
many anxious hearts are fluttering in antioi
nation of the next news from the vast waters,
He who rules the winds and waves only
knows, and it is needless to attempt to com
pute ; but they are many, ,as are also the pray
era that go up nightly that the next news from
the sea and of the great continuous storm
may not be worse than that we have had al:

Southern. Arrivals.
Confirmatory of the terrible weather along
the coast south of Hatteras r and of the furious
blasts that like doimons sweep the coast, there
arrived in port yesterday three steamships
from New Orleans,and although they, because
of their sea-worthiness and never-tiring links
of steel and arms of iron of their machinery,
were not driven ashore,
nor the lives of
any of their crews lost, they report the
dangers of the trip constant and fearful.
These vessels were manned by old "salts"
who never turn away from threatening
trouble, but yet their courage does not quite
reach that point but that in such times of
peril they would rather be snugly ensconced in
seine land-locked harbor at anchor. These
vessels are the Victor, Gates, consigned to C.
H. Mallory 8; Co.; Mariposa, Kemble, con
signed to H. B. Cromwell & Co.; Sherman.
Quick, consigned to Frederick Baker.

Within a few hours of each other and almost
simultaneously encountered the storm on the
4th, st,b and 6th inst. Its approach was grad
ual, but when in all its fury it struck them the
seas rolled in maddened rage and the wind
blew a perfect hurricane. The engines were
slowed, all sails reefed, and in the instance of
the Mariposa she wag compelled to lie to
during the period of fifty-one hours, that she
might ride out the storm in safety, A 8 it subse
quently appeared the vials of its sweeping
violence were concentrated upon her. It'or
tnnately all escaped and arrived in port safely
within a few hours cf each other.
Immediately following the subsiding of the
gale the Sherman, on the Rh inst., in latitude'
35 80, longitude 75ju.st after daybreak,sighted
the brig Mary Jane Williams, from the !frost
Indies to Fbladelphia,with her ensign Union
down. On atproaching her she was found to
have been drifted about by the baffling winds,
and was out of provisions. These were at
once given to the weary mariners,amid thanks
and rejoicing. Tim nberman also named, in
the same latituile,tbe Spani- , 11 frigate Lealtan,
from Havana for New York, lying to,waiting

Col.Wm.B.Marin entered thePrivatesanct' urn,
and then the first opportunity was offerathe • I
Governor to open the bill. He• merely glanced;
at its provisions, and then listened' to an 14-
peal made by Colonel Mann; who urged, With'
considerable force, the necessity of a change,
in the manageinent of the,police force in the,
city of Philadelphia. The Governor,• at theo
close of the,interview, merely 'remarked that'"
he would give the bill the consideration it de-'
served, and that he would not acthastily. He
intended to take time and. hear arguments , •
both for and against the measure. The
chance., are that he will not arrive at any •
definite conclusion until the latter part of the ,
week.
• The bill offered by Hr. •liller, of Philadel
phia, with reference to the assessment of
,
damages incurred by the opening of streets in',
Philadelphia, is creating quite a talk ameng,
the Philadelphia delegation, to whom it was
referred, now that its provisions• are being
understood, and thereasons that prompted the':
introduction of the measure place a member
in a decidedly unenviable position. The act
provides that from and after its passage it
shall not be lawful to assess any damage oti '
private property for the opening of streets in ,
the city of Philadelphia, and all such assess
irePete heretofore made,
.which '"revs not bet= '
finally approved by the proper court at the
time of the passage of the act, are hereby set
aside and declared void. The object of ite
troduction has been discovered to have been
a personal matter in which a meiriber
of the Legislature is alleged to
have been pecuniarily interested. If
passed, it would have benefited him to
the extent of at least $l,OOO, but it ,
would have been. detrimental to
'the interests not only of thousands of your
citizens but to the' City Treasury, It seems
that some months since, the Court of Common
Pima of Philadelphia appointed a road. jury,
to report upon the propriety of extending an
avenue in West Philadelphia to Market,
street, The jury had many meetings, at which ,
a large number of witnesses wine heard.
Filially they agreed that the avenue should.be
opened to the extent requested. and then
came the question of who should pay the ,
damages sustained by the gentleman whose '
property was to be cut up. The SUM of $9,000
was awarded, and it, was agreed that the ad-,
So..° at lasul-o-racaro, ilhveo 3rop orifice. vrinatit
be rendered more valuable,shonicl foot the bill.
The street opened' on Market street;
directly opposite the property of tida
Member of the Legislature, and. as
it considerably enhanzed the value of his do
main, the hum of $l,OOO was assessed against
him. He objected, and.used every means, to •
het aside the verdict, but the jury submitted
its decision to the court, where it now, rests.
At the time that the bill came up these futs
were not known, and it would hove uu- ,
doubtedly passed had not Mr. Elliott. ,
inter-
posed an objection. and.requested that it be re- ;
ferred to the Philadelphia delegation for
ther consideration. Last evening a well..
known citizen of. Philadelphia, who was one
of the road jurors in the case, arrived at the..
capital, and he ventilated the whole bAtter,,
to the mortilication of the member interested.
The investigation into the management of

should have been corrected at the time, and
*Hell chow that a remedy is sadly . needed.
The finances of the . State have been loaned
out to individuals, for, which, until the pa.-tt
year, there . has been no collateral in the
Treasury. This, had it been preased upon Mr,
Mackey, could have readily been shown, but
there.s.e.eraK to have'.: been- an effort---ou - tlie
part of a majority of the Committee to screen
the transactions of those who have handled the
money-bags prior to the present_ incumbent,:_
while they were equally as anxious to make,
Mr. Mackey convict himself of malfeasance in
otlice.
It way put in, evidence that, at, the coin/
Mencement of 'tile, term .of., service of, .Mr,
Mackey, the unexpended balance was divided
among variousbanks and depositaries in the.

fence for the position they assumed in

and if rumor be true, they are now as anxious •
