The Prussians, as founded at this rush of demons, opened out and let them pass until they were brought up yelling and howling, by the second line, against which; they surged in vain. The sur vivors of this tremendous onslaught took to the woods, where they slunk about as wild uiexr until they clothed themselves from the (lead. —Another tough story is of a captain of cuirassiers, whoso head having bfeen taken oft’, his body still charged with his tr/iop right into •the enemy’s lines. r ■ de Grandeliamp, recently pro moted to one of the ’divisons of, the Twelfth Army Corps, is the hero of another little anec dote, which may be true, or may not. In Al geria, in ,1839, he was. left for dead on the Held, so doubly dead and so disfigured out of all cognizance, that even the I’Arabs thought it discreditable to their bravery to cut off his head as a trophy-a habit they had in those days, and for .whn h the Tureos still have a ‘ toucl memory.

The Spanish journals received by the last mail contain references to the candidature of Don Fernando of Coburg: /.« Vorresiwndencia says: What is bein" dune in the matter of the candidature of Don Fernando of Coburg for the Spanish Crown is a veritable mystery ; while the press and the public men of the country look upon this ean dulate as no longer deserving attention, it is still being warmly discussed m political circles at Lisbon. It is now believed that Don Fer nando will accept the crown. El JHm-io de yoticuis (pro-Spanish) of Lisbon, says that the Duke of Saldanka is very much interested in thecandidature of Don Fernando. Numerous consultations are going on between the Ministers and the intimate and confiden tial friends of the Government with respect to this candidate. J he matter seems,accordi ng to other Spanish authorities, to be almost decided between the Spanish Government and that of Portugal. Dun I ernando has resolved to cede to the un remitting desires of certain persons who wish to make him King of Spain,--but: desires that ihe gieat powers should guarantee the in dependence of Portugal. The Spanish Gov ernment, as well as Marshal Saldanha arid his colleagues,have intimated that it would bo im possible te obtain such guaranties at this mo inept, and insist that he will at once accept, but Don Fernando still demands these guaranties as a prior condition before accept ing the crown. Jlie G(iceta Official publishes in its issue of the filth inst. several important papers. One ot these relates to a general amnesty for all of fences committed in the Island of Porto Rico since the 29th of September, 1808. By Article 4 ot this order, all persons who have been ex patriated, as.well as tbose-ngu~in prison orac (used oi political crimes, are at perfeet liberty to return home and exercise their proper avo cations. Another order, issued by the Min isteroi the Colonies, makes changes in the Tarift laws of the island. This last decree is dated Juno 24, and is of importance to Ameri can manufacturers, as it permits hereafter all articles’of machinery to be imported into the island free of duty, without regard to tho na tionality of the vessel in which it may be shipped. The articles exempted are all such as may be used in agricultural labor. Riel’s Friends Leaving the Country. A correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer writes irom Red River as follows : “ The steamer International arrived at Pem bina on the 15th from Fort Garry, and put oft’ about a dozen of the ringleaders of Riel’s pro visional government. It is not known whether Kiel was among them, or whether he is getting out of the country by some other route. “ A passenger, reports that tho ‘ provisional authorities’ held a council at Fort Garry for the purpose of deciding the question of allow ing the Canadian expedition to take possession oi the country. Some of the hot heads, who have been living in clover for six months, wanted to fight, but they were overruled by the majority .and it was determined that re sistance would bo useless.; All idea of fighting the Canadians was at once given up, and the Fort hecame a Bceno of plunder. Riel’s men are busy m hauling from tho Fort aJI the stuff that can be transported to points of compara tive safety. The finale of the ‘great ’rebellion is indeed laughable. A large majority of tho people will heartily welcome deliverance from the- band of out-throats that has oppressed them for so long. ,_L “Every effojt has been made by Riel and his adherents to iniiamo tho minds of the French Canadians and half breeds, by false reports of insults to Bishop Taobeuin: Canada.

The ii?.?i r^ Vaa thiukly strewn with' papers, large leather wallets and bill-books were scattered about, and here and there a tin box, forced open and emptied of its contents, lay in the position in which it had been carelessly thrown. Among;; the many papers thrown about the room were found to be a large num ber of ° Befflstcred United States Bonds. R o clue to the perpetrator or perpetrators of the robbery seemed to present itself to any of the reverend-secretaries, who, after a series - : £4.consultations, finally sent to. police head quarters for detectives. On examination the safes were found to be emptied of everything ot negotiable value, including a service of sib ver plate belonging to the Rev. Mr. Depew, and other articles of silverware, the property ol clergymen who had used the facilities otter ed by the two large safes as a sort of Safe Deposit. Not only silverware was left in this place of supposed security, but money and bonds in large amounts.—Some small wallets contain ing the savings of a lifetime of frugality and- by...,humble -parish—preachers-and— others, and larger gones were well) filled with the surplus accumulations of fortunate and fashionable prelates. Such of the bonds as were registered were quietly thrown on the floor, and those which were' payable to hearer erean variably removed. The largest single loser is one of the secretaries of the Mission ary Board, who was Bobbed of $1,5000. Hopvs-were entertainedTEat atOeasToneoT the safes had resisted the efforts of the burg lars to open it, as it was closed and could not be opened by aid of the key ; but it was sub sequently found that the thieves had opened it and closed it afterwards. Workmen were summoned from Marvin’s, safe factory, aud alter considerable delay they gained access to the interior only to find that every article of value had been removed. It seemed very strange to. a casual observer that the robbery should have bean successfully performed by any .one not well acquainted with the ar rangements and familiar with the place. There are Two Night Watchmen on the outside of the building and one on-the inside, and the only porsqns having rooms on the floor, with the exception of an artist and perhaps one other person, are churchmen con nected with some of the many Methodist con cerns.

At seven o’clock on Tuesday evening the citizens of Newburg were shocked at the re port that one of the prominent business men ot the place had been shot dead while taking supper with his family. The particulars of the sad affair are asgfollows : The horrible oc currence took place in Grand street, No. llfi, opposite St. George’s Church. The victim was John L. Seavern, proprietor of the Paper Machinery-Works, on the Washington Iron \v orks Dock. The murderer gives, nis name as I.ieut. Button. At the time stated he walked into the residence named, going through the main hall-way in a stealthy manner, till lie reached the door which opened into the din ing-room. In thaJatter room at this time seated at the supper-table, were Mr. Seavern and his wife, Mr. Seavern’s back being toward the hall-door, and his ivife sittiug opposite. Silently and cautiously the assassin approach ed his victim,entering thedining-room unseen by Mrs. Seavern. Once in, he walked quickly up to his victim and fired a single shot. The ball entered Mr. Seavern’s neck about an iuch and a halt below and behind the ear, passing through the spinal cord, causing death iastan taneously. Mrs. Seavern cried out, “Oh, John, r. ou ? T0 s^ot ßut r - Seavern made no reply His head sank upon his breast, and he seemed to try to raise his eyes in token of recognition, but this was probably a convulsive movement, ''bon the fatal bullet struck him he was in the act of spreading a piece of bread. In his light hand he held his knife with butter on it, aud between -the-flrst and second t Hhgers''of the loft hand ho bold a piece of bread Jfor one hour after death he sat in the same posi tion, and when the undertaker laid out the body, force had to be used to remove the knife He wit boituipright in his chair, with only his head bowed. As‘soon as possible after the oc currence, Mrs. Seavern, shrieking wildly ran to the front door, and seeing Mr. Robert S Smith passing, she exclaimed: “My hus band has b> en murdered; oh, do run for a doctor!” Dr. Culbert arrived soon after, but he could do nothing. By this time the crowds commenced to assemble. The mur derer did not otter to hurt Mrs. Seaverns, but immediately after he committed the deed, he lan through the basement entry, went un stairs to the third floor of the house, and stood at the head ot the stairs. At the time of tho murder Deputy Sheriff Tuthill was standing at the south entrance to the Court House, and heard the report of the pistol. Ho went over to Mr. Seavern’s house to see if anything was wrong, and arriving there heard at once what had taken place. He went up on the front stoop, and opening the door saw the murderer at the head of the stairs with the pistol in his hand. The bheriff was unarmed, and hesi tated to rush to what seemed instant death. The murderer said nothing but looked as if ho meant to do further mischief, and had any one attempted to approach liftti there is no doubt that he would have fired on them. It is stated that he pointed tho; pistol threaten ingl? towards thefdoor.; A messenger was at once sent to Police Headquarters, and Marshal Goodrich was notified. He armed himself with a revolver and blub, and taking with him Officer Andrew Darrell, proceeded tothoresi dence of Mr. Seavern. Stationing the officer at the basement entrance at the rear, ho liitn sclf went to the_frout door, about which by this tlmhfa- large crowd had "he murderer was still at the head of the stairs: seeing the men at tho door, he walked ‘back into the east room on the third story, laid hia pistoi (a double-barrel one) on a table, came back t~o the head of the stairs, and confronted thie Marshal and Sheriff' at the front'door; He gaily took- off his beaver, and, malting a bow\ said, “ Gentlemen.do you want JueV” The Marshal said, “ Yes; I want you,” and grasped him by the arm, and started hint j 3 ,?' 10 vast crowd which had by Ihfa time collected, pressed closely after ttm prisoner, nrany shouting, “ Lynch hfmi ynC % t im f ■ “«* ie fairedTtotoSS mIT « M| but tbejail was not t'ar off and the officers reached the. place with their charge in safety.
