FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, NIMROD STRIGKLAJTD, OfOHEBTKR COUNTY THE FOUR NAPOLEONS: - A statement has appeared in a French Jour- our namesake, Zo Preue of Paris,) that Louis Napoleon had purchased, from tho East India Company, that part of tho island of St. Holena which was inhabited by the Emperor Napoleon, from 1816 to 1821. Longwood, where he lived, died, aud was buried is now the property of France, once governed by Napo leon. i Never .was man more popular, in tho coun try which ho ruled, than this man. Wo do not except our own Wasuixoton, who seems re garded, among all civilized nations, with respect bordering upon veneration. Washington, ns the Liberator, may have been morojustly entitled to affection and regard, than Napoleon, the Conqueror,—but it is the nature of tho French to love and hate with something akin to fierce ness. We remember) in silent gratitudo, with What unselfish devotion, perseverance, courage, and judgment Washington devoted the best .years of his life to the service ofhis country,— how, when the great achievement was com pleted, by her admission into tho family of na tions,' he laid down tho almost sovereign trust which had heen placed In his hands, and re tired into private life, —how, at the unanimous call of the people, ho gave eight years of his closing life to their Service, in a civil capacity, —and how, when tho deatli-angel summoned him to another and a better world, Ills grave was watered with a nation’s tears. The same noble, and, above all, manly cha racterisiics which endeared him to us, have won for Washington a like regard at home. In England, moro particularly, this regard has deepened into a feeling of veneration. For there was in the character of W asiungton many points of similitude to tlio lending traits of the English character itscir. A warm heart, with a cold demeanor j invincible adherence to the claims of Duty; rectitude of principle, which nothing could weaken; cool judgmeutand great perseverance, and that peculiar courage which, While it rather shrinks from display, appears to gain intensity when called into action, auddoes not feel, for it will not submit to, sucli a thing as defeat. Deep in tho hearts of Englishmen is respect and veneration for him who is now known among us ns Father of his Country—a title prouder than that of King or Csusar. Though such a cynic as Thacker at may sneer at him as « Mr. Washington,” England herself holds a far different opinion. Tho name of Washington is a household word at English hearths, and, at this hour, Englishmen think that the. only mi. j fit to be compared witli their Wellington, is our own immortal Washington. . The regard which tho French have for Na poleon is entirely different. To us, Wash, inoton appeared as tho .Liberator, when we combined to fight tho battles for freedom. Napoleon was endeared to the French ns the Conqueror. He overthrew thrones, and dy nasties, and dominations, and added territory to that Franco which placed him in command. He gratified the amour propre of Frenchmen, by emulating the conquests of their Ciiame magne. The spoils of subdued nations, wlvom his sword made tributary to France, enriched hef capital, and tho Louvre became a treasury of aft, crowded as it waswith the noblest paint ings and sculptures, which had previously em bellished and enriched tho palatial abodes of Emperors and Kings, Princes and Nobles, galleries and churches, in Italy, Spain, Portu gal, Germany, and tho Netherlands. 110 made Paris (to use tho words of Phillips,) “the miniature metropolis of the world.” 110 elevated the dominion, he augmented tho wealth, he in creased theterritory, and, above all, he extended and exalted tho Glory of France. To this last he constantly appealed. He treated his soldiers as if each and every of them were worthy of his personal regard. There was exaggeration, of course, in tho remark that every drummer in Napoleon’s armies, boro himself as if tho baton of a Marshal of France were at tho bottom of his knapsack i—but, in very truth, every man appeared as though 110 foughtunder Napoleon’s eye, for good conduct' found immediate and liberal reward and promotion. To the last, the' soldiers clung to him. llow touching is tho simple record of his taking leave of tho army, in the court yard of Fontaiucbleau, after his first abdication, in 1814! llow thrilling tho narrative of his return from Elba, when the troops sent forth to arrest of slay lain, burst into tears as the well-known form und features cqmo near, and yet more near, and, flinging away their weapons, eagerly surrounded him, proud even to touch his garments, and gladly re-assuming the tri-color cockade, which was associated in their minds with q hundred Victories, and with him 1 How bloodless that triumphant return to Paris, jus tifying his own boast that « the eagle would fly from tower to tower, until it alighted on the pinnacle of Notre Darnel” How sublime tho devotion of his soldiers at “ bloody, but most bootless Waterloo!” And how pathetic, with a mingling of saddened pride, was their recep tion of his mortal remains, now resting beneath tho dome of the Invalidos, in Paris, after flve and-twenty years of banishment. Even tho occupation of the throne— of Hi throne —by Lotus Napoleon is mainly owing to the affec tion which tho veterans of the Empire boro for his .memory. They had kopt aiivo, in every hamlet and village of France, the recollection of what he had done. They forgot liis faults, and loved to dwell on the greatness of his achieve ments and the gigantic power of his world grasping genius. No wonder, that, with such j impressions on the mind of France, Louis Na i poleon should have been elected President, 1 and finally chosen “Emperor of the French, by the grace of God, and the will of the People.” Let it he remembered, too, that this Napo leon Was not all soldier. He was equally great in the cabinet and the field, in tho council ■chamber as in the camp. His administrative powers were remarkable, and. the rapidity with which he conceived great.plans was as wondqr- PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1857. tbi as the certainty .with which, he. jiadjlieih executed. In his lexicon, there was •no Aucb word aa'impbseible. His mind graspedjAt dnee, the minutest details greatest principles!. He seemed to know, everything, as If by Ihtul- 1 tion. Ho had the art of infusing much - of 1 his own spirit into tho biinds of thosp \vlipm Jio employed—hut, then, he rarely' did employ any one but men of ability. He was placed on such an eminonco that it was Impossible for. ldm to feel jealous of any man, and, therefore, ho was just toward all inon. lie had a rare fascination of manner, and those who came in to familiar intercourse with him, felt as if un der the spell of an enchanter, sowormly, truly,’ and lovingly did tbiy legMd him. Amid the vast labors imposed on Napoleon, —in Ids double capacity of ruler and soldier, he found time for podjfylng the laws of Fiance,' and recasting them with as much simplicity as, possible; for reproducing them as the far-famed Code Napoleon, which continues In Frsnce! Belgium, and parts of Italy and Germany. His fame as a soldier may pass away, over) as 1 his conquests have passed away s his glory as a sovereign may be challenged or cloudedyhntr one thing is certain—hp reduced. the' chaos' of French law into order and consistency, aud.hp will take his plado, for ever. the-great benefactors of mankind, with' Moaks and:Jus tinian. , ; ; His very misfortunes erfdenred ldm|o France. His fall,-from a summit : of glory and power; such as Alexander, o*sab, and Charlb maone had not reached, was great Indeed.. Yet'there was Surprising elasticity in hi? iqiud, —for, groat as was that' fall, he recoiled <froto Elba, and the, rebound cast . Paris, “ ayp, every inch a King.” Finally conquered, by. treachery qs much ai valor, ! he threw himself, like Themisiooles, upon .the hospitality of his greatost and most constant, foe; but tho Ministry of England Wero’defi cient in magnanimity, and giving him the fate of Prometheus, 'flung him into captivity on the island-prison of St, Helena. ‘ There!’sub jected to many a petty insult, tho remaining six years of his life wero spent, and ho cm- 1 ployed them worthily—in writing the, history which lie had made ; in -recording his achieve ments in war, government, am) policy;' ih ex plaining tho motives which had actuated him; in frankly acknowledging his errors, 4s a man niid as a ruler ; in generously paying.tho tri bute Of merited praise to liis associates in the camp and the council. , ’ I n liis last will, (a singular document, in which his peculiar idiosyncracy was fully developed,) lie breathed one touching wish, —“that hiA ashes might repose by the banks of tile S.sino, in tho heart of that Franco which ho had lov ed so well.” Five-and-twenty years passed on, aud great changes wore made in France. By one- strong effort, in July, 1830, France cast out tlio .reigning Bourbons, and placed Louis Philippe d’Orleans on the throne. Never had man a nohi’er cliauco of permanent empire than this Citizen-King. But, kora tho very first/ he aimed and acted for the aggrandizement of his family. Fearing an accoasien of unpopula rity, in 1840, ho carried into effect a suggestion of Thiebs, his Mlnistor, and asked England to render back to Franco lier dead Napoleon. The request w as eagerly complied with, and, with much pomp and impressive magnificence, the funeral obsequies of Napoleon wero cele brated,—tho transit of his remains through Franco being the most grand and sublime spcctaclo of modern times. It was more, for it re.awakened the French fooling ibr the very name of Napoleon. Another Napoleon now occupies the throne. Clear-headed, far-seeing, astute, politic, de termined, and unscrupulous, Louis Napoleon is perhaps tho ablest man in' Europe ;at this' moment. Hp.lias converted tho antagonism of England into a strong alliance, and, what ever else may be said, is !he only European ruler called to eupreme power by popular election . More than the possession of Longwood is said to he in his mind. Wo hirve heard, and we holievo, that the Emperor of Austria has signified a desire to restoro to Franco the ashes of tlio young Napoieos, so that sire and son, so sadly disunited in life, may together “ sleep tiie sleep that knows no waking. ” No doubt, the boon will ho accepted, and Paris will have another magnificent show, whon the coflln of file fair lad, once known, even when an infant, ns “ King of Homo, ” is placed by tho side of the modern CitARLEidAOXE. There is a moral in such a show which tho French will scarcely take to heart, though their rulor, who lias passed through hard vicis situdes of fortuno, will bo at no loss to apply it. France has had throe Napoueons—though one of them, like tho son of Louis XVI,, wore only a shadowy diademi, having, for a moment, as it were, the name and state of monarch. There is another child-ikeir now. Will tho son of Louis Napoekon und Euokxie over sit upon tho throne of Fran ce 1 This is a problem so far beyond human capacity to solve, that we simply state it. Yet what a vast amount of European history wfll liavo to he acted and written, ore Time cam bring tho response. Another Route for tb e Sub-Atlantic ‘Telegraph. fFor The Pjrens.l A statomontlatoly appeared in the New York Journal of Commerce* whioh is worthy of con sideration at presont. It refers to the route origi nally proposed for tho Trans-Atlantic Telegraph, namely, by way of Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroo Islands to tho North of Scotland; A grant for which purpose was obtained from tho King of Denmark in 1854*. It proceeds to*’ gay: “In October, 1855, tho Philadelphia tic »ard of Trade, alive to tho groat importance of a * rransatlantio Tolegraph, and hav ing considered tho two routes proposed for its ac complishment, onmo to tho conclusion that tho ono by way of the Danish islands was tho most prftoti cnblo and tho moi.t likoly, to bo attended with succcsj, and tbo.p mscordingly passed a scries of resolutions suggest! ng and recommending that the Secretary of tho N avy bo authorixod to equip and commission such vee sols nnd officers of the United k Stato3 as might b o necessary to make a careful nnd roliablo survey of tho soundings of tho Allan tto Ocean botween tho shores of Newfoundland, Grocclnnd, and led land/' Such a survey has not been made. Tho Danish route is said to possessono great ad vantage ovor the 'other—that no single distance from land to land, ‘is over fivo hundred milos, anti in the aggregate, th/o longthofcablo required would bo no moro.

PENNSYLVANIAN HISTORY. WAIFS FROM TliE WEST BRANCH VAL- LEY.—No. I. HY JOttN or LANCASTER. I propose giving you a short description of the various towns in tho West Branch Valley of the Susquehanna, ombraying their early history, pre sont growth, and future pmjpects. Tim is, probably, ope of tho most beautiful and romontio spots in Pennsylvania. Tho valley is not very wide or extensive. It commences at Nor thumberland, whero the two branches unite and form the moip river, and properly ends at Look Havon, where the stream bursts through a bold ridge of tho Alleghanies. The West Branoh of tho Busquohanna was called tho Otzinachson by tho aborigines who inhabited the country. It is a beautiful title, and should have borne it to the presept day. The sjonery along the river is varied, wild, and sometimes picturesque; and it Is impossible to form a oorreot idea of its variegated beauties without visiting the spot/ Tho valley is in a high state of oultivation, containing some of the finest farms and most flourishing towns In the interior of the State. What a contrast does the beautiful Tale of the Otzinaohson now present to tho time when It was inhabited by the Indians! Let us, in imagination, look b&ok to the period whon the red man dwelt on the banks of the stream, joained in the forest, or hunted tho deer and the elk on tho declivities of , the surrounding mountains—when he built his v humble wigwnm in some shady doll, beneath some wide-spreading branches of the hemlock or tho pine. It was indeed a happy sceno: his young p&ppoosos gambolled in their, rude’simplicity on tho banks of tho murmuring rivulet—the squaws cultivated their patches of oorn and chanted songs of tho spirit-land—and the dusky warrior plied his birch-bark ennoo over the crystal waves of the beautiful Otsinaohson. Happy scone! This val ley was then a fairy land—an Indian paradise, the cherished homo of tho rude, yot noble children of the forest. But mighty changes were destined to occur—tragedies calculated to cause a thrllL of horror to run through the frame, must transpire beforo their cap of destiny is filled. The valley has ontiroly changed, and tho last rod man has long since been gathorod to his fathers. Highly cultivated farms ocoupy tho spot where the Indian villago stood, and the busy hum of indus try is hoard on evory hand. In summer time the luxuriant grain waves over tho graves that contain tho chorishcd remains of their ancestors, and the mighty car of civilisation has orushed the last me mentos reared to perpetuate thoir memory. Tho towns that I propose describing are Bun bury, Northumberland, Lowisburg, Milton, Mun cy, Williamsport, Jersey Shore and Look Haven. Thoy aro embraced in tho couatios of Northumber land, Unton, Lycoming and Clinton.' I shall ro verso tho order, and oommenoo at LOCK HAVEN. CLINTON COUNTY. Tins flourishing town is 1 oca tod on tho right bank of the river, on the beautiful undulating pinto, at tho mouth of the rich and fertile valley of Bald Eagle, sixty-seven miles from the mouth of the river at Northumberland, nnd twenty-seven from Williamsport. Tho land, on whioh tho town now stands, was originally embracod in tho grant to Rev. Dr. AlH sou by Richard Penn, in 1769, for fifteen hundred acres, in consideration of services rendered in the French and Indian wars of 1755-8. A cabin was erected hero as early as 1773, by William Rood, who afterwards tamed U Into a stook&do fortification when the tronbles with tho Indians commonced, and it was known os Rood’s Fort during tho war. Tho best part of the town now stands upon the site once ocenplod by this for tification. It was commanded for a long time by an individual known among the early settlers as Cooksoy Long, who doos not seem to haro boon distinguished for much bravery or military acu men. Tbero are many interesting reminiscences of early history associated with this place and Its immediate vicinity, that occurred in the dark and gloomy days of Indian barbarity and Anglo- S&xot} deception and perfidy,, that aro very inte resting to tho presont reader. I will relate one or two. Borne time in the year 1778 an Indian suddenly appeared on ’ the bnnk'tif tbo river,‘opposite tho fort, whore Lookport now stands, and tnddd signs to the garrison that he wished to he ferried over. Thoy feared that ho might be a decoy, and refused to vonture for him. Howovcr, ho stoutly insisted, and to show his good intentions waded out into tho river np to his nook. None of the men daring to venture, Mrs. Reed jumped into a canoe and broughthlm over safely. He proved to beafriond ly Indian, and had travelled a long way to warn them that a powerful band of hostile savages was preparing to Invade the valley for the purpose of exterminating tho settlers. Being muoh exhausted, and feeling perfectly safe, after delivering his mossage ho laid down to seek some repose, and was soon buried in a deep slumber. A number of men about the fort were shooting at a mark, amongst whom was ono named Dowitt’ who was slightly intoxicated. Loading his rtilo, he observed that he would make tho bullet ho was putting in kill an Indian.. Littlo attention was paid to him, howover, at the time. He made good his remark, however; and instead of shoot ing at the mark, fired at the friendly Indian, and shot him dead ! A baser act of ingratitude can not bo ooncoivod. The murdor was unprovoked nnd cowardly, and rendered doubly worse from tho fact that tho Indian had travelled many milos through tho gloomy wilderness to inform them of their dnngor. Tho garrison was so exasperated at this inhuman nnd ungrateful act, that thoy threatened to lynch him on thospot; whon, becoming alarmed, ho fled, ami was sufferod to escape. Ho never was heard of moro, and probably fell, ns he richly deserved, by tbo tomahawk of the enemy. In tbo winter of tho samo year, throe men loft tho Fort and proceeded across tho river on tho ice. Thoy had been over hut ashort time till they were fired upon, and ono of tho party killed. The otbor two ondeavored to make thoir escapo by immedi ately retracing their steps. Ono of them, in tho hurry of tho flight, ran into an airhole. Ho caught hold of tho odgo of tho ice, however, and managed to keep his head abovo water. Tho In- > dians wore afraid to venture too near, for fear of breaking through, but commenced firing at him. Watching tho flashes of their guns, ho dodged his head undor water ljlto a duck, and oludod tho balls. After firing several shots at him, they sup posed that ho was doad, and left, whon ho suc ceeded in crawling on the ico, in a partially ex hausted state, and oscaped to tho Fort. Tho other man was hotly pursued. Ly a single In dian, who gained on him rapidly. Ho had a gun, whioh ho considered worthless, but as the Indian neared him ho would turn and point it at him, thinking to intimidate him, but didn’t pull tho trigger. This he reponted several times, whon the savugo thinking it was unloaded, would point his tomahawk at him in derition, and exclaim, “ pooh, pooh.” Tho Indian came up vory eloso to him at last, and ho began to think that his days woro about numbered, when, as a last resort, he sudden ly turned and inatinotivcly raised his gun, os it wore, and pulled tho triggor, when, to his nstonish mont, it went off and shot his pursuer dead ! when ho escaped to the Fort in safety. A fow milos below Lock Huvcn, in tho river, is tho Great Island, a spot famous in tho early his tory of tho country. Sovoral celebrated Indian chiefs rosided hero at differeut periods, amongst whom was tho Chief Batd Eagle. It was to thorn a porfeot Paradise—an olysian homo—whero thoy loved to dwell, and otfor up their orisous to the ‘Great Spirit. No lovelier spot can he imagined. Tho soil is of a rioh alluvial doposit, which pro duces luxuriantly. It contains about three hun dred acros, divided into two- farms, which aro in a high etato of cultivation. The Great Island was visited aa early ns 1745, by Rev. David Brainerd, tho pious Indian missionary, and in 1743 by Bishop Ccmorhoff, and Zoisberger, two Moravians, who woro establishing missions far in tho wildornoss, among tho savage inhabitants. They were tho first white mon of whom we have unj' record, that first ascended the river to this point. The first permanent white settler on the Island, was a man named William Dunn, who purchased it (according to a tradition) from tho Indians, for a barrel of wniskoy, a rifle, nnd a hatchet! The Indians afterwards becamo very much dissatisfied with their sale, and frequently laid on the oppo site side of the river, waiting an opportunity to shoot him, but thoy never succeeded. Tho present enterprising town of Lock Haven owes its paternity to an occontric individual named Jerry Church, who has quite a mania for founding towns. Ho purchased tho land from Dr. Hendor son, in 3853, for $lB,OOO, and In the autumn of the samo year laid out tho town, named it, and effected a salo of lots, receiving ton per cent, on tho pur chase money. After striurglmg for six years, dur ing which time the town din not improve vory muoh, Mr. Churoh at length succeeded in getting the Legislature to poss a law creating tho county of Cliuton; nnd, in 1839, it was orgnuized by the Hon. Judgo Burnside. Mr. Churoh very generously donated n lot of ground on which to erect a Court Houso, whioh was put up in 184-4. It ia a substantial brick building of rospectable size. Mr. Church, to his published life, says: “Ten years ago there was but one bouse, and probably about n dozen inhabitants in the place, and now (1845) it is aboautiful village, and a ploco of considerable business. It has se\ eu retail stores and groceries, ono drug nnd two candy shops, three preachers, two meeting housos, (and ono ‘ Jerry Churoh,’) six lawvors,two doctors, and two justices of tho peaco, and tho balanoo of tho inhabitants , aro what I pall a lair community,” TWO CENTS. HON. JAMES t. JONES, OP TENNESSEE. A friend in Tennessee has forwarded ns ft report of the address of Hon. James C. Jones, well-known as a leading Henhy Clay Whig for years past, delivered at La Grange, in that State, on tho 28th of July, 1857: It is naked what has been gained by the South by the Kansas bill? I answer everything— the restoration of the Constitution— the declaration and recognition by Congress of the principle of our perfect equality in the Union—sanctified as it has been by too Supreme Coart—and the consciousness that, henceforth and forever, the protection of our rights and liberty is dependant, not /tpon con cessions and Compromises, but in the maintenance op the Constitution and the Union under the Constitution. It matters not .whether, hencefor ward, as a measure of protection, there shall be' one, or many, or no slave States added to the Union. So long ns the Constitution stands the South is'secnreln her equality and rights. (Gov. Jones's apostrophe horo was singularly beautiful and eloquent, and called forth rapturous ap plause.] But further, said ho, about this monster of alien suffrage, which Seems to have taken the place of squatter sovereignty, anti-Popcry, Americans ru ling America, and various other catches of Know- Notbinglam—whose contrivers' beat at humbug—l have already shown you .that tixteen out of eighteen new States .came iq with it, and are now prosperous and, happy. Of the public domain, all of it U now embraced in some one-or other of the Territories organized. i-Ip somo.pf, these territorial organizations it is allowed—in' others it Is not. Now. suppose these politicians, whom It la asked that the people should.send to Congress and to tho Legislature became they are opposed to alien suffrage, should succeed ln being elected, where and how are they to do any good by carrying out their doctrine? It will not he pre tended that tboy can ohange the laws-already passed, and under which rights have already been acquired. Where, then; will they apply their doctrine, granting it to be as important as they Eretoud it is? Fellowreitizens., don’t you see it is umbug, and that it La used by Know-Nothingism togetinto of&oe upon? • '' But, said Governor Jones, I am taunted and de nounced for that, claiming to be, an old-line Whig, and having said very hard things about Democracy, I am acting In concert with' and supporting the Democratic party. Show me, said he, a better party—one capable and os tho party has shown itself to bo, of standing dp and breasting with us of the South the wild hordes of Abolitionism—and I will go with it. {The Governor hero sketched the rapid declension of the American party, after the *• twelfth section’' was struck out, and its feebleness even in the Southern States, to sty nothing of its having ceased to osisfc as a na tional organization in 'the free States.] Thero is no each party, and l am therdforo driven to choose betweenstanding alongside with thisnational Dem ocratic party, to go with tho Black Republicans, or maintain a triangular fight of more hatred to the Democratic party because it is the Democratic party. Is Mar a reasonable position for a patriot, to sustain ? Why, even the row scattering Know Nothings that get into Congress will Have to vote for a “Democrat” for the Speakership, or give a|d indireotly to our enemy. Bat, said the Governor, I am.tcdd that the South has been betrayed by Walker, who was sent but M* Governor of Kansas by tho Administration, and that, after All, Kansas will be a free State, and therefore we should go against the Demooratic par ty. Now I think Gov. Walker went too far wnen he said that tho Constitution to he framed by the Convention must bo submitted directly to tho peo ple, or he would not regard .it. Thorp is no objec tion to that being done. Our own State Constitu tion was enbmitieil to a direct vote of the peonle, and it has boen done in other instances. But tiiat is a matter with the Convention who aro chosen to frame a Constitution, and Gov. Walker, in the po-. sltion he takes,"usurps, in my judgment, the pre rogative of the Convention. Butsurely no one will contend, if the people do not wish slavery, that it should Ho forced upon them, or vice versa. ■ And just hero, said the Governor, loojk at the in consistency of these Know-Nothings who are de nouncing tho repeal of tho Missouri Compromise, and denouncing Walker too in the sam<s breath. Without tho establishment of tho principle of the Kansas bill repealing tho Compromise, Kansas was free territory. They say it should have remained so, and thus all this agitation have been avoided. Woil, the whole struggle is, the oause of all the dif ficulty Js, to get it iu as a freo State. Thoy say Walker Is going to so let it in, when-of coarse the struggle will end by the romoval of tho oause. And yet thoy denounce me for my vote in favor of the Kansas bill, and Walker for mend ing up mv error by letting it remain freo territory, , both w the same breath! So it goes. Anything rather than not be in opposition to the Democratic party. Suoh is not the dictate of enlightened pa triotism at a time like this, when we of the Boath have to meet and combat a powerful sectional par ty In the North, and tho Democratio party ja the only party there that can afford us any assistance— the only party there that has any strength to as? sist us in the maintenance of out rights,, Suoh, is not the dictate of old-line Whigiam. Bn6nha3 never been my course, nor shall it he how. Country first, and party,afterwards: PERSONAL. It will be recollected that it wa3 asserted, shortly after tho British attack upon Canton, that Gen. Keenan, the United States consul at Hong Kong, had taken an aotivepart In that affair, ana had displayed, or caused to be displayed, an American nag, in the engagement between the ■English and the imperialists. Gen. Keenan states that the only origin for this statement waa the foot that ho went to Canton at tho period referred to, on duties relative to the Macao consulate, (the In cumbent of the office being an Invalid), and w&s accidentally present after Canton was supposed to be in tho bands of the English; and, with many other spectators, as a matter of curiosity, he walked to the Governor's palace, being at the time in plain ar,d unofficial costume. On his return from the city he hoard that a sea man of one of the bonts of the United States ship Levant, who had followed him, was still in tho oity. He at once returned in search of tho man, and found him in the enclosure of tho Governor's pa lace With a boat flag wrapped round a boat staff, and tuking him by the ann he brought him out; so that his only agenoy in the whole affair was to remove the flag. In a second letter to tho depart ment, General Kconan notice?, with indignation, the fact that the author of tho letter to the New York Daily Times , which contained this malicious statement, had been promoted from the position of captain’s clerk on bonrd tho United States steamer Portsmouth to that of actiug purser of that ve.«3cl, tho reward, he presumes, of nis perversion of cir cumstances that wero porfectly simple and natural in themselves.— N.

Mr. Mann had re ceived notice of the rule, but hod not thought pro per to attend. Mr. Mann. District Attorney, said that although ho respected tho action of tho Supreme Court, yot ho would press this caso to trial now. 110 did not believo that the argument for tho certiorari wus intended lo bo broceeded with. Ho bad been in formed by Mr. Cassidy himself that it was not in tended to bo proceeded with; and after all this de lay, he would, except tho Court interfered with him, trv the case. Mr. Monaghan was then sworn, and SAidthat his witnesses were absent, and that ho could not safely go to trial without thorn. The Court said he might have two hours to proouro his witnesses. Subse quently Monaghan informed tbo Court through bis counsel, that he had beoo unable to procure more than one witness, and would ask for a further postponement. This was opposed by Mr. Mann for tho Commonwealth, and led to a smart altercation between counsel, during which Mr. Rankin, one of the defendant's counsel, came in with a certiorari which disposed of tho ease for the present.
