The Monument in Independence
Square.
The people of the United States are pro
verbially slow in completing monuments in
honor of the great men or great events con
nected with American history, We de not
believe these delays Ire Fanged by any lack of
patriotism, but arerather owing to the fact that
men instinctively feel In this enlightened age,
when information is universally diffused, that
the pen of the histotian creates upon the
minds of millions ' of readers a more enduring
and honorable reaord .Of ivoiliky deeds than
the chisel of the sculptor, or the genius of the
architect. But there are certainly some
things that not only'deserve to be'commemo
rated on the historic - page; but which should
also be duly honored by artistic material me
mentoes;' and aniongtheee the Declination of
Independence stands pre-eminent. such in
tereais, therefore, naturally felt in the pro
gram radii by the Board of Trustees who have
charge of the project of erecting the proposed
Montudebt In independence Square, and as
they have recently published a pamphlet con
taining a journal of their proceedings at their
last meeting in Philadelphia on the 12th of
'June; 1860, as well as other information on
this subject, a brief statement of its contents
will probably prove intersting to many of our
readers. •
All of the original thirteen States, except
Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina,
hive officially announced their intention to as
sist in the erection of the monument. It is
probable that those Commonwealths will also
eventually co-operate, as a desire io do so has
repeatedly been manifested in their State Le
gislatures. Even if they should unfortunately
withhold their aid,. the' monument will be
completed by the tea States now pledged to
assist in its construction. Its cost is limited
to $150,000, to which 'feud the' contributions
will be in proportion to the number of Repre
sentatives in Congress from each State, as fol
lows :
=Hampshire, 3 Representatives $4,590

II
Maryland; ~ 6

Georgia, 8 ~
.... ...12,240
These amounts will be proportionally re
duced when the remaining States shall pass
similar liws.
The trustees desire that such legislation
may be obtained as will enable them to get the
necessary appropriations in four equal instal
manta, payable en July 1, 1881, January 1,
1842, July 1, 1862, and January 1, 1883. If
their wishes are complied with, the corner
stone will be laid on the fourth day of July,
1861, with "suitable military and civic ob
servances."
The trustees have net yet decided upon any
O'Malley plan, but they state that their gene
ral design ic embritces a structure of granite
of thirteen sides, resting on a base of sixty
feet ; the thirteen sides to be united by an en
tablature, on which will be graven the Declara
tion of Independence ; the whole to be sur
mounted by a tower or shaft of thirteen sides,
each side containing a niche, or space, for the
insertion of panels, or tablets of marble or
other stone, from the several States, bearing
ouch illustrations as each one may determine
and provide, keeping in view the harmonious
character of the whole work." It is to be
hoped that the monument, however plain it
may be, will be a decided success in an artistic
point of 'Wow. It would reflect lasting dis
credit upon all concerned in its construction if
it should prove a rude, misshapen, and un
sightly edifice.'
The site of the monument decided upon is
"the centre of the broad walk, between-the
south side of Independence Rail and the Wal
nut-street gate, at a point equidistant from
the Hall and the gate." -.
Austrian Rule in Venice.
Austrian misrule is depopulating Venice.
Its inhabitants, though it is penal to leave
that city, have escaped in thousands, and its
population is fifty per cent. less than what it
was two years ago.
Ji friend who takes great interest in the
Italian struggle, and has watched the culmi
nation of Austrian misrule in Venetia, has
sent us ikverbalins tmnslatkin oi the Imperial
Order,-promulgated in Venice, last February,
which, for cool-blooded audacity and cruelty,
has scarcely any parallel in any country. It
runs this:
cc It has reached the knowledge of his Ma
jesty the Emperor that some individuals in
the Italian provinces or the empire are
guilty of criminal machinations, in order to
disturb the public quiet, and foment discon-:
tent and hatred towards the Imperial Govern
ment. His Majesty has been obliged to order,
by the rescript of February 8d inst., that all
those who by their antecedents, their opinions,
or their deportment, may be deemed capable of
fomenting hostile projects against the Impe
rid Government, shall be compelled to military
service, to prevent their being dangerous.
This compulsory enrolment has to be done
accordingly, 'after the
_opinion of the Vice-
Roy, who may put it in execution at any time
he may deem "convenient. The persons thus
enlisted must be incorporated into working
companies. The length of the service is the
same as in the line and the reserve, (fourteen
years.) This Imperial Order has to be ex
ceptionally adapted to the Italian provinces,
and this as long as the. circumstances may
justify the use of this means of coercing the
rebellious spirit which pervades these pro
vinces.
«I, therefore, command the delegates to com
municate this Imperial Rescript to the dis
triet commissaries, with the orders to ask the
police commissaries to send in the hat of per
sons that .may be comprised in that category,
And to accelerate its execution. His Highness
the Vice-Roy has the right to decide on its
final adaptation. The commissaries are fore
warned that these orders may be made known
and enforced in all their just rigor. In the
capital, the director of the police will com
plete the necessary lists. As the above-men
tioned persons have to be incorporated in the
working companies, the • rules prescribed for
other recruits have not to be adapted to them,
particularly respecting the physical defects.
The lists of persons to be compelled to the
military service must be ready for the latest,
on March 6th. - Busts a Es.
it Visfor.,Feb. 10, 1860."
The tinder mercy of the Austrian Govern
ment may be estimated from this precious
document.' It provides that all who are guilty
of being saspected—deemed capable of want
of enthreffastic admiration of the Austrian
tyrants-must be compelled to military service.
Their 'antecedents, their opinions, their very
look and walk (deportment) are the sole evi
dence to place them under this ban I They
are to be dealt with in a Summary way. If a
matt even seems to look saucily at an Austrian
soldier, or policeman, or informer, he is
"deemed capable of fomenting hostile pro
jects against the Imperial Government;" his
name to be put upon a black list ; and, within
a fortnight after the date of the proclamation,
he has to be torn from his family and friends,
and forcibly enlisted in one of the working
companiesof the Austrian army. The differ.
ewe between this description of soldiery and
the ordinary corps is simply, we believe, that
physical defects are no impediments to his
service. He may be lame, blind, hump.
backed, or without arms, but still he is fltfor
cc service," which means imprisonment, in
one of the penal fortresses with which Austria
is crowded. All this to a suspected merit

Judge Douglas and the Lecompton
Constitution.
The speech of Judge DouGLAs, at Nitwit
kee, which we publfili this morning, furnishes
in itself a complete refutation of the ridicu
lous charge which has , been made by the
Breckinridge Association of Leavenworth,
that he advised Jens CALHOUN to adopt the
plan of submitting the slavery clause which
formed part of the Lecompton swindle. We
only allude to the subject here, to call atten
tion to the fact that this charge furnishes a re
markable proof of the complete recognition
by the Administratibn and the Secessionists
of the infamy of their own proceedings, and of
the odium attached to them by the people of
the'United States. The antagonists of Doc
ciuswhet have made this accusation, not only
endorsed the whole Lecompton iniquity them
selves; but endeavored to ostracise from the
Democratic ranks every man who opposed it.
Now, if ft was right in them to sustain the
Calhoun contrivance, it could not have been
wrong in Senator DOUGLAS to suggest it. But
as a sort of et last card," on the eve of a Pre
sidential election, they trump up the charge
that he countenanced in advance the slavery
clause submission idea, because they are con
scious of its injustice, and of the contempt and
hatred of the almerscanpeopie for those identified
with it. While the poisoned arrow they have
aimed at the champion of Popular Sovereignty
has fallen harmless at his feet, the selection of
such a weapon necessarily involves the self
condemnation of his assailants.
Public Amusements.
There is no prospect of an Italian opera company
occupying the Academy of Meeio at any definite
time. Strakosoh, with little Patti as his trump
card, has been givelk concerts at Richmond, Vir
ginia, and. is said to contemplate taking her West

A new piece, called " The Monkey Boy," and
`adapted from the French, was produced on Satur
day evening, at Arch-street Theatre. We were
not present, prevented by the dreadful weather,
but the critic of the Sunday Transcript was, and
says : "Much to our surprise, considering the in
olemenoy of the weather, the house was filled to its
utmost extent. The production of this play is the
event of the season. It is entirely new, and Is
produced with new and very beautiful scenery,
remarkably apt costumes, decidedly novel effects,
and a oast of character including every member of
the company. It is a romantic, sensational drama,
with the odd title of The Monkey Boy.' The
Monkey Boy' is an adaptation from the French,
and from begipaing to end is Frenoby in all its
parts. At DEntra Heene's theatre it attracted im
manse audiences for a long period, and is likely to
do the same thing here. It is of no avail to oral
dee the piece. Whatever planes the people profits
the management, and renders easy the duties of the
company. We confess that, from the moment the
curtain arose, until it fell upon the final denim
meta, a chain of unbroken interest is sustained. The
Deanery and incidents are highly melo-dramatio.
The Monkey Boy,' a lad who earned a preoari
oils livelihood by the antics of his pet monkey, is
personated by Mrs. John Drew. Mr. Shewell
gives us some splendid touches of nature in the
character of a convict, afterwards a maniac. Mr.
Wheatley, who never appeared to greater advan
tage, appears in the character of Lucien Gerard—
first a spendthrift, 'afterwards a painter. And
Clarke, the inimitable, has a part that he turns to
the best possible account. A very good idea of
the flower girls of Paris is given by the rendition
of the character by Mica Emma Taylor, who looked
bewitchingly pretty in the short petticoats that
constituted her costume. Pretty Rose Skerratt also
has a role to which she does ample justice; while
the derni-monde is represented by Mrs. Samoan
in the part of Coralie. Except that there is a
feeling of disappointment at theincompleteness of
the denouement, the basis of the play is a most
capital story. In the entire audience, trom the
beginning to the close, there was riot an approxi
mation to a yawn. There le a ruffian in the piece,
personated by Mr. Wallis, who admirably conveys
to the mind an idea of total depravity, and who, in
the last scene, perishes by involuntary strangula
tion, a la Bill Sykes. Take it as a whole, the
play is melodramatically impressive, and will in
tensely gratify those who appreciate a comminu
tion of the comic and the terrible."
At Walnut-street Theatre, this , evening, a new
sensation -drama called "The Dead Wart," will
be played for the first time. This is a piece,
"from the French," (like nineteen-twentieths of
modern English plays,) which had a long run of
success, in the Adelpbt Theatre, in London, last
year, and has not before been produced in Ameri
ca New scenery and snob. &masteries are pro
mised, and we doubt not that the piece will be put
upon the stage in a very suitable, manner. The
niece consists of a prologue and three sets. The
prologue is of the time 1772, but the play itself has

Horrible Murder near Tonawanda.
The Roohester Union of last Thursday says :
Passengers and railroad men from Niagara Falls
this morning bring the intelligence that a horrible
murder was committed near Tonawanda yesterday
afternoon. Two stories are told about the matter.
The fast account runs in this wise : As the ex
press train on the Buffalo and Niagara Falls road'
was about a mile from Tonawanda a woman was
seen standing near the traok, and as the oars ap
proached the jar oaused the woman to fall over and
roll away ffom the rail. The train was stopped
and backed up to the spot, and It was discovered
that the woman was dead and perfectly cold, with
her throat out from ear to ear. The body was
taken to Tonawanda.
The other report is that the deceased was lying
sterols the rails when first seen, and that the care
passed over her, cutting her body in twain, but
that on picking her up she was dead, with her
throat out as described above. In either case a
horrible murder has been committed, and the
guilty parties, no doubt placed the body upon the
track ro convey the impression to those who
might find it that the victim had bean killed by
the oars.
PAnnielna itt Fitittes.—A dreadful murder
was committed a short time since at Bawdily, near
Dijon, by a young woman named Lucie Migniot,
on the person of her father. It appears from the
confession of the murderess, who is barely twenty
years of age, that site and her father had quar
relled on the previous night, respecting her pro
jected marriage with a man of whom her father
altogether disapproved. Irritated by this oppo
sition to her whhee, she came to the desperate re
solution of murdering her father ; and accordingly,
having waited till he was In bed and fast asleep,
she took a chopper and struck him repeatedly on
the head ; then, suddenly relenting, she drew her
victim out of bed to the top of the stairs, near an
open window, but finding no signs of life, she re
moved the body back again to the bed and
soreamed for help. When the neighbors mime, she
aoknowledged her guilt, and was taken into cus
tody. On the following day she contrived to elude
the vigilance of the gendarme who bad her in
charge, and threw herself into a well She was,
however, got out almost notate, and afterwards
lodged in the prison of Bomar.
EFFECT OF THE LATE FROST TOBACCO.
—From all accounts the effects of the frosts of the

By the Mersey steatrarr, which arrived at South
ampton, lingland, with South American dates to
the 27th of August, we learn that the United
States brig Dolphin was at Montevideo on the 12th
of that month, to sail for the States in a day or
two. The Congress and Pulaski were at other
ports on the station. The new steam gunboat Se
minole, from Norfolk, had joined the fleet, and had
received orders from the commander-in-chief re
lative to her initiatory movements with the
squadron. The Seminole worked comparatively
well on the voyage south. She is the first steamer
ever aent for ordinary squadron duty to Brasil. It
was rumored that the surveying party had sailed
for the United States. No American marines or
sailors were required on shore at " the Mount," as
everything was quiet there.
The armament of the U. S corvette Vandalia,
now preparing ut Brooklyn, to reinforce our
squadron in the Chinese seas, was put on board
that vessel Saturday. It conatats of four eight
inch guns, weighing 63 cwt., and sixteen thirty
two pounders, weighing 33 cwt. About eighty-five
shot, forty loaded and forty-five unloaded, is the
complement of ammunition supplied for the bat
tery during the cruise.
The machinery of the new steam corvette Pensa
cola is nearly finished at Washington, and will be
put on board that vessel in a few weeks, at the navy
yard of the national capital, to which , she will re
move from Norfolk. The Pensacola has not as yet
been assigned to squadron duty.
We have by the California mall some particu
lars of toe defeat of Major Thomas' command of

had to retreat, several of the men being wounded.
The gallant major was badly, but not seriously,

Major Donaldson, of the army, now stationed in

Excitement in alasliouri.
On the 24 instant, Jacob Hurd, N. B. Beck, and
Joel Wilkey, were arrested in Pottawatomie
eounty, Missouri, charged with kidnapping three
free negroem—two young men and a girl—who
were residing in Fremont eounty, lowa. Dr.
Blanchard, who bad bean their guardian, left St.
Louis on the 4th instant, by steamboat, with three
offieera r .to take the prisoners back to lowa. Hurd
made the moat violent resistance to being removed,
declaring that he knew he would be lynched If he
should be carried back, but by resorting to violent
measures the officer® succeeded in getting him on
board the steamboat.
en reaching tit. Joseph, the party found that the
news of their coming had preceded them. A num
ber of Hurd's friends were at the landing, and
threatened to rescue them, but were overawed by
the officers. Much the Dame scenes were enacted
at Brownsville ' and at other points. Some of those
who (lame on board the boat at these landings
charged that Dr. Blanobard himself was a negro
stealer;" that be had formerly caused one Mr.
Hackett; to be prosecuted for maltreating a negro,
and that he had recovered $B,OOO damages. Ft
malty, it was determined by the captain to avoid
the difficulty which was threatened - at Nebraska
City by landing Dr. Blanchard and the prisoners
at the lending-place for the town of Hamburgh, in
lowa, which, unfortunately, was in Missouri, about
a mile from the State line. Here another crowd
met the party, and declared that they should
not take the allegedikidnappers out of the State.
The officers at this juncture discovered that they
had no authority for taking them into lowa, and
after a number of attempts to convey them to the
line, where the officers from that State might take
them in ',barge, they found that, to avoid the re
lease of Hurd ona writ of habeas corpus, which
his friends had taken out, they would be obliged to
surrender the prisoner to officers from St. Joseph,
who had a writ for his arrest. This was done, and
the offi e•• I r ,, ul ht. Louis, relieved* of their iron
bletotne i.tud 1,, returned to that city.

The Hon. John Covode at the People's
Headquarters,
On Saturday evening there was quite a large ate
tendril:toe at the Peoplehr Headquartere, Chestnut
street, above Sixth, to hear an address by the Hon.
John Corrode, Chairman of the famous "Covode
Investigating Committee" of the Federal House of
Representatives.
Mr. John Goforth, Esq., prodded, and intro
duced Mr. Covode, who was received with much
applause. After alluding to the incitement wea
ther, and hoping that he would bo able to enter.
tato hie audience to their benefit, Mr. 0. prooeeded
to review the causes which led to the triumph of
the Republican party in the late election in Penn
sylvania. The people had become tired of mis
rule, and hod risen in their might to rebuke a cor
rupt Administration. It was a certainty that no
one questions that Pennsylvania would throw her
electoral vote entire for Lincoln and Hamlio. He
did not deem it necessary to speak upon this sub
pot. He desired rather to give hie hearers a word
or two in reference to the purity and impurity of
the present Administration. Notwithstanding a
great dell had been said about it, the subjoin had
not yet been entirely exhausted. The greatest
wrong that this Administration had committed
was forcing upon an indignant people the institu
tion of slavery ,
_ which they condemned . Ali the
power of the Executive Departntent wee brought
to bear to force an infamous measure through Con
greet. Whatever corruption could devise was re
sorted to and practised. To prove this ho quoted
from Demoeratio newspapers and Democratic
'makers. He read a long extract from the Chi
cago Times. This paper had done all in its
power to elect Mee-Buchanan, yet a short time ago
it was compelled to come out boldly and confess
the great wrongs which, its chief was committing.
Mr. Buchanan himslf, admitted that the army
was kept in Kansas instead of going to Utah, for
'the purpose of keeping up a system of corruption
lire opinions of Gov. Walker 'were quoted eaten
rively. 'Me. Wendell came in for a share of ani
madversion. Anybody acquainted with Mr.
Wendell ought to know that he never had any
money. Mr W. bad always been bankrupt, and
when he nad any sash, it was not difficult to tell
haw be Caine by it, To carry the Locompton bill
through Kansas, Mr. Wendell had drawn a number
of choke in favor of certain members of Congress.
The cheeks read, " Pay-- Viers to U. S.' Mr.
Covode, in his investigation oTthe Administration
corruption, inquired of the bank clerks what
"U. S " meant. They answered, " Save the
Union." [Laughter j Thais the way the Demo.
oraoy save the Union. They believe that by °or
lapting the members of Congas, they preserve
the country from ruin.
Mr. Covode stated that a oheok for a large sum,
drawn to "P. 1C.," (pay Kansas,) [laughter,] was
brought to hie attention. On the same day that
the check was dated, the Republican party lost the
vote of a man who had always voted with the Re.
publicans. That man was Judge Hall. The
speaker could show' a cheek fur every Republican
vote lost in Congress.
Mr. Covede dealt copiously in feels and figures,
which he read from "The Investigations of the
Covode Committee."
During the Leoompton deliatb in the House, the
members stood, in Republicans, 22 Douglas Demo.
orate, the remainder Administration Democrats.
During all that time not a Republican could be
bought. [Applause j Douglas Democrats were
pledged to the same policy as the Republicane, yet
they deserted melee golden iegluences. John
Hickman could not. be bought, applause, and
where, was John Hickman now? John Hickman
was now where every Democrat soon will be.
[Applause.]
Mr. Covode exhibited forged naturalization
papers, which were used to carry Pennsylvania
elections. A certain Irishman—Petrick Lafferty--
aniessed that ho had used two thousand of them.
Because Mr. Covode had found out snob things
as these, he was christened "Chairman of the
Smelling Committee." [Applause J Every de
pertnient of the Government which he Investigated
was found to be corrupt. Mr. Buchanan was
elected by fraud "It is about time," said Mr.
Covode, " that I should write the life and services
of Mr. Buchanan." For the part he had taken in
the matter he was rewarded in his re.eleotion.
He was sent to Congress by more than double the
majority with whioh he first went into Congress.
[Applause.]
It was now an important question with the Arne-
Herrn people, which party new before the country
is best adapted to promote the interests of the
people? Be argued that the Republican party
was the only one that wee pledged to a high tariff.
he then at length diamond the merits of a pro
lathe policy.
After endorsing the Morrill bill, he went on to
urge the election of Lincoln, as the only repre
sentative of protection.
Mr. Covode !peke for nearly two honre, during
which time he was listened to with close attention,
and rucitiolatly applauded.
MEISTING AT THE DOUGLAS READQUAR.
egns.—The Douglas headquarters,• Fifth and
Chestnut street; 'was well filled with spectators
on last Saturday evening, it being understood
that the late fiction of the State Executive
.00ranefttee Weald
.be dimmed. Ira C. Mitchell,
N., pf Centre' county, a member of the State
Committeiee was preeent, and addressed the meet
ing. Ho • athibuted the late defeat of the Demo
cratic partyregribe widen of tho'Breokinridge men.
•Taey eleue Ware interested In opposing General
Poster, ad they, could then point the South to Penn
sylvania as not to bo relied upon in the Presiden
tial contest. Pennsylvanian a Democratic State,
and is able to elect any man who hes the united
support of the party. As the Douglas men went
solid for „Pater, the defection must have been on
the part of thb Breekinrldgere.
Let the Pennsylvanian and the Argus charge
the Douglas men with being the cause of the de
feat, as long as they please ; but all the reader bee
to do wee to ask who were the editors of these
papers? The custom house knows them ; the post
office knows them ; but do the mass of , the people
know them or recognize them as the leaders of
the Demeeratio party?
The speaker then reviewed the action of the
State Committee, coupled with the announcement
made on Thursday, and he followed the line of ar
gument adopted in the resolutions then adopted,
and he declared himself convicted that the com
mittee bad acted wisely.
Every man on the Reading electoral Mira was
pledged to vote for the nominee of the Demooratio
Conventidn, and if the gentlemen composing that
committee should over have the opportunity of
casting a vote in the Electoral College, in honor
they were bound to vote for Stephen A. Douglas
and Herschel V. Johnson ; and, in any event, the
party Should look forward and beyond 1860.
After going over the ground to show that Douglas
was the regular nominee of the party, the speaker
gave way, and was 'followed by Col. Alexander
McKinney, of Westmoreland.
It was a noticeable feet, that while every men
tion of tee home of Judge Douglas or his princi
ples was' received with cheers, no response was
made to the endorsement, by the speakers, of the
action of the committee.

LATEST MOVEMENTS OP THE REVOLUTIONISTS
The New Orleans P!,eaynne of the 15th says
The schooner Carrie Sandford, Capt. Haggett,
arrived at this port this morning, from Tampico
the sth inst. She left in port the brig Nahum Stet•
eon, Captain iliphant, to sail for New Orleans on
the Sth. A Mexican bark, name unknown, was
also soon to sail for this port.
The military news from the interior principally
concerns the siege of Guadalajtra, against which
city all the available forces of the Liberal army
were being brought up. General Doblade left
Queretaro on the lst, with 5,700 mon and twenti
four pieces of artillery, for the earns destination,
and General Ortega, with 7,000 men and thirty
cannon, on the sth. Tho certain and speedy fall
of the pity before so large a number of troops was
daily expected when the schooner left,
The headquarters of the army continued still at
Queretaro, whiob city was defended by 2 200 mon,
under General Berriosabal. Small bodies of
troops were also collected at Guanajuato, Leon,
and Irapuato. General Ogazon was at San Pedro,
where his original' force of 4,000 men had joined
the forces of Colima, 'Nilo, and Mazatlan. it was
thought to be impossible for Castillo, who was com•
mending the Reactionaries in that region, to make
a stand against such odds moving rapidly against
This vigorous campaign upon Guadalajara had
sauced a temporary relief of the capital. In the
meantime the most vigorous efforts continued to be
made for putting the city in a state of defence.
The treasury, however, was exhaused ; the recent
levy had produced but a few thousand dollars, and
no one knew whither to turn for the money. At
last accounts it was said a negotiation was on foot
for the sale to the ebb capitalist, Eoandon, of a
million dollars oburoh property for $300,000, of
which last $120,000 only wee to be ready money,
the rest in old and worthless bonds. A number of
other schemes are talked of, among them a forced
loan on some forty of the leading capitalists, which
will probably be ultimately adopted, unless they
come forward with voluntary loans.
By this arrival we have also the proclamation of
Gen. Degollado, in reference to the seizure of the
grand oonduota of $1,120,000, bound hither from
the mines of Zacateeas and Guanajuato." He baldly
avows the not, assumes the responsibility, and at
tempts to justify it on the ground that the money
belonged to the capitalists of the Reaotionary
party, and the Liberal oauee had need of it.
The Prima, of Tampico, states that the Minis
ter of the Treasury in the Juarez Cabinet, Sr.
Garay, had resigned, but dose not assign any reason
therefor.

they had been ordered Into a boat for thepurpose
of taking some effeots, instruments, dm., to the long
boat towing astern of the ship; then to return
to the ship, and all hands to be divided between the
two boats, and leave in company. On misting off
from the ship to carry this plan Into effect, th me
men in their boat became separated from tho ship,
and, owing to the high sea, could not reaeh her
again for nearly twelve hours, when, the sea having
gone down somewhat, they toissed alongside of her
and hailed her, and signalled with lanterns, but
got no reply. The ship appeared deserted, and
the longboat, whioh they had left towing astern,
wee gone They therefore bore away for the coast
of Madagascar, and after five days were pisked up

Scenes and Incidents of the Departire
AT HARVARD COLLEGE
At Cambridge all the windows were filled with
people, and a great crowd occupied the square.
The upper graduates of Harvard College had been
in line waiting for the Primus for over an hour,
and when he arrived they saluted him with hearty
cheers, formed in procession, and escorted him to
Gore Hall, where the corporation and faculty of
the college were assembled. Messrs. Everett,
Banks and Sumner were present. Upon the steps
of the hall the party was met by President Fel
ton, who led them inside, and introductions fol
lowed. A British account of the battle of Lexing
ton, published in 1775, the Ring Charles charter
of the oolony,',and a petition to the Princess of
Wales, George the Third's daughter Amelia, were
shown the party, and the Prince was presented
with an exquisitely printed volume of " Folk
Songs " from the " River Bide Press," as a spec!.
men of American typography, and with " Quin.
cy's History of Harvard.' This brought out the
venerable Josiah Quiney, Sr., now ninety-one
years old, whe was most cordially greeted by the
Prince, and espeoially by Dr. Ackland.
"SCOLIMA'S SCENE" NOT DOWN ON THS DILLS.
. .
Having affixed their names to the College regis
ter, those who had ecaiemie titles inscribing them,
the party were taken to the room of Mr. loseph
Wales, one of the seniors, that the Prime might
see how American students are domiciled. During
this vis , t a disgraceful scene took place outside.
The chief of the Cambridge police, while attempt
ing to keep the crowd back, excited the ire of one
of the sophomores, named Robertson, who struck
tho chief with his cane. Robertson and his abettor
were immediately arrested, but the latter was res
cued by the law students, and the latter was subse
quently released.
ItIGTOLLITIONARY IfEIIENTOBB
The elm beneath which Washington stood when
taking command, of the army, the hotel near by,
at which his officers were quartered, and Longfel
low's residence, once Washington's headquarters,
were pointed out to the party. A great crowd was
gathered 'around the cemetery, bat were not ad
mitted. The Prince staid only long enough to
look at the statues of Otis, Adams, Winthrop, and
Story in the chapel The boys were selling photo
graphs at the gates, and jolt before the Prime left
the carriages had to move on to make room for a
funeral, which passed slowly in with its weeping
MOUtZlOra.
AT BUNKER MU AND Till CRAULTATOWN NAVY-
Mere, taking leave of the Mayor of Cambridge
and the Harvard professors, the party - were driven
rapidly to Charlestown to visit BrinkerKU About
two thousand people were gathered there, and
cheered the Pane° as he entered and left the
monument, which was decorated with English and
American gaga. The party were shown Warren's
statue, and the spot where he fell, and also the
remnant of the redoubt behind which the Ameri
cium fought. The future king of the country
against whom they battled stood upon the very
ground which was once dented with the muskets of
the patriots. Upon yonder alope, up whioh the Bri
tish once marohed only to meet their death, rushed
aorowd of Americans, cheering the'Brltish Prince
Time and peace work wonders, but while the royal
party are welcomed upon every inch of American
soil, many Americans will wish they had not set
foot on sacred Bunker Rill, although it may
. be
wrong to wish so,and although no latent enm i ty
may suggest the thought, it is our fathers' grave
and monument.
A brief visit to the Charlestown Navy Yard
concluded the day's journeyino.

depot by a troop of Lanoers. The streets were
fairly jammed with people, who cheered enthusi
astically; waved flags and handkeroblefs, and in
every way sought to honor their departing guest.
Tho , Prince was in excellent humor, bowing and
smiling responses to their salutations.
TIER " TARIM IN A ROAR."
Every village along the route was crowded,
more so than on any previous journey of the
Prince, and the abeam were more enthusiastic
The party took lnnoh in tho oars, and at table the
Prince was unusually lively and
,animated, keep
ing the whole party in a roar ivithhis witticisms.
➢AOQAOE OF MR ,PARTY.
While the cortege was progressing, sailors were
occupied, under the direction of Commodore Sey
mour, in getting the royal party's baggage on
board the ships. Each artiole of clothing seemed
to be done up in separate portmanteaus Nume
rous were the parcel's. ' Dr. Ackland had many
boxes of books and mathemattioal instruments, in.
eluding some presented by Senator Seward. Among
other articles the Prime had several turtles, which
he had captured on the prairie, and an immense
box, containing large moose horne t from Canada.
Lord Mohenbrooke had singing birds and courier
squirrels.
" 000D.BYZ."
Poising under a large arch on the bill beak of
the harbor, and walking down a long flight of
steps to the dock built for the steamship Great
Eastern, after quickly reviewing the troops, which
were drawn up along the wharf, the Prince said,
" I'm very cold—hurry," and moved towards the

covered with crimson cloth: Shaking hands with
Governor Banks, Governor Goodwin, Mayor Lin

sorry my visit hero has been so brief," ho jumped
into the barge. The remainder of the party otaid
a few moments, shaking' hands, saying "Good--
bye " to their Canadian trioxide, governor Banks,
Senator Sumner, and many Americans to whom
they had been previously Introduced. • -
THE DEPARTURE.
At last the Prime's barge, which bore his
pinnies on the front, started for the Hero, and in

and "Yankee Doodle," as the Prince stepped on
the Hero's desk, at half peat four o'clock.
Lord Lyons and other members of the party re
mained some time looking at the ship. They then
enjoyed the hospitalities of Mayor Howard, and
returned to Boston at air, o'clock the saute

wharf -

the royal squadron Ailed with British &Beers
There was a fresh easterly breeze blowing, and the
water In the harbor was quite rough, se that the
boats rowed quite slowly. As the flotilla neared
the royal squadron the yards were manned, and
this, with the strings of bunting and flags dying
from ovary point of the fleet, formed a magnificent
spectacle, whioh was witnessed by on immense con
course 6f people assembled on Mount Joy,' the va
rious piers, and every accessible place of obser

Ao the royal party passed the various vesslils of
the squadron the Prince was received with re

disappeared freni aloft.

At half past four the squadron sailed, steering
out of the harbor, the Hero lending, followed by
the Nile, Arladne, Flying Flab, and 'the Styx, sa

passed.
SMICATOR BR WARD AND MD PRINCE..
The New York Pest says : "Among the guests
assembled to meet Baron Renfrew and his suite at
the residence of Governor Morgan, on Tuesday
evening last, was Bonator Seward. This was the
first occasion of their meeting on this side of the
Atlantic It is not generally known that to the
Senator from Now York, more than to any one
else, probably, does Lord Renfrew owe whatever
pleasure he has received from this visit, for it was
mainly at his suggestion and under his advise as
to its general method of prosecution, that the
Queen's government was induoed to make the
experiment, which hat proved so-gratifying to
both nations, and which promises smell important
results. No doubt the meeting at Governor Mot
gan'a table was a mum of increased pleasure to
Lord Renfrew, from the oiraunastanoe to which we
have alluded. The result h,s fully vindicated
Senator Seward', segaoity in proposing the expo.
dition to the Prime's friends, and his judgment
as to the proper mode of prosecuting it in the
United States. Indeed. it may be doubted wheth
er this last may not in the end prove one of the
most substantial public services that the Senator
has over rendered to his country."
A SUAKSPEAREAN PIOTURD OP TER PRINCE.
A fair oorrespondent of the New York Temes
writes to that paper as follows:
Like all young ladies, after having seen the
Prince of Wales, I can think of nothing else. Ile

a corner for these lines of Bhakspeare, as'l am

liver a lecture on the subjeot of his travels at the As
sembly Buildings, Tenth and Chestnut streets, on Tues

this vast region of country, the lecture Will no doubt be
both interesting and ins:ruotive.
ECorrour Is WEALTH —lf a man wishes to live
hapvily and contentedly. he ehauld make a determina
tion, under every otrourostanoe, to live within his in•
come. It is not a diffioult matter to do, when once a
strong will is exercised, Half the misery and wretched
ness we meet with in this world la occasioned by ne
sleeting this golden rule of life. How many anxious
days and weary nights have been passed that might

OAH ORCHARD ACID SPRING WATER.—TbIa we.
ter is gaining great celebrity, and the demand for it
is increasing rapidly. Its beneficial character is at
tested by thousands, and it is pronounced by distirt
guiehed physicians to be superior to any other medi
cinal Spring Water now in use. The almost miraculous
cures which it hes performed lead us to believe that it
destined to become extensively used in the treatment
of very many diseases which ordinary remedies fail to
ours. Its curative properties are eetablished beyond
aneatien, and we feel assured that it must, to a great
extent, supersede many of the artificial compounds of
the day. WO recommend there of our readete who may
be suffering from general debility, or from any of the
diseases for which this Water is prescribed, to give it 4
