MECHANICS, FARMERS. AND WORKING MEN The attention of the enterprising and industriorm portion of the community is directed to the following statements and liberal inducements offered them by the ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD cOrarANY, Which, as they will perceive, wilt enable them. by Proper energy, perseverance, and industry, to provide comfortable and permanent homes for themselves and families, with, comparatively speaking, very little capi tal. LANDS OF ILLINOIS. No Etats in the valley of the idaselvoppi offers in great an inducement to the settler as the thktojoG-f fli- Pols. There is no portion of thelfOrld Where all adrift conditions of °Rotate and soil so admirably oombine to produce those two great staples, corn end wheat, as the prairies of Illinois. RICH ROLLING PRAIRIE LANDS. The deep neh loam of the prairies le euluvated with 'cosh wonderful facility tam the Carmen of tho East era and Middle States are moving to Illinois in great numbers. Tne area of Illinois is about equal to that of England, and the soil is so rich that it will- support twenty millions of people. EASTERN AND SOUTHERN MARKETS, These lands are contiguous to a railroad seven hun dred miles in length, which connects with ether roads sad navigable lakes and riven. thus affording an un broken communisation with the Eastern and Southern markets. APPLICATION OF CAPITAL. Thus far capital and labor have been aPPlled.te de veloping the soil; tne great resources of the State in coal and iron are almost untouched. The invariable rale that the mechanic arts flourish best where food and fuel are cheapest. will follow at an early day in ll liaoht, and in the coarse of the next ten Tears the natu ral laws and necessities of the ease warrant the belief that at least fire hundred thousand people will be en gaged in the State of Illinois in the various manufae taring employments. RAILROAD SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS. Over $100,0110,090 of private capita' have been ex pended on the railroad spasm of Illinois. Inasmuch ea part of the income from several of these works, with a Valuable public rune in lands, an to dionnieh the' atate WOW:lets, the taxes are light. and mutt eaaseelieldly every day decrease. THE STATE HEST. The State debt to only 4110.105,198 14, and within the hurt three rears bee. been reduced $8,959,746 80; and re may reasonably expect that in ten yearn it will be come estanot. PRESENT POPULATION. The State is rapidly filling up with population ; $62.021 persona having been added sines 1860. making the pre sent population 1,719,496—.3 ratio of 102 per neat. in ten years.. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. _ . The sigricultutal products of Illinois are greater than those of any other State. The products sent out dur ing the put year egoeeded Litoom tone. The wheat orop of IMO approaches 56,000,000 bushels, while the corn crop yields not leas than 140,000.000 bushels. FERTILITY OF BOIL nowhere can the industrioue farmer secure suoh im mediate results for his labor as upon these Prairie soils. they being composed of a deep, nob loam, the fertility of which is unsurpassed by any on the globe. TO ACTUAL CULTIVATORS. Since 1854 the Company' have sold 1,300,000 acres. They sett only to actual cultivators, and every contract contains an agreement to cultivate. The road has been constructed thrsvgli these Lands at an savesse of *99, 000400. In 1880, the population of the fatty-nine Man ties through which it paeses was only 338,399. since which 479,293 have been added, making the whole popu lation 814,891—a gain of 143 per cent. EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY As an evidence of the thrift of the people, it may be stated that 600,000 tone of freight, including 8,600,000 bushels of grain and 260.000 barrels of flour, were for warded over the line lest year.

TIIIIII3DAY, MARCH 14, 1861., Not long ago, we gave some particulars about Mrs. Olivia Serres, whose daughter, Mrs. Lavinia Janetta Horton Ryves, appeared before the Court of Probate, in London, and clearly established her legitimacy. In plain words, on January 24th, Mrs. Ryves obtained a decree from the Court to the effect that she was born at Liverpool, on March 16th, 1797 ; and that her parents, legally married, were John Thomas Serres, marine 'painter, and his wife, Olivia Serves, who died in 1826, and Mr. Serres in /834. Mrs. Ryves had an object-in establishing herself as sole_snrviving legitimate offspring of Olivia - Serres, who, between thirty and forty years ago, persuaded herself and several other people that her uncle was George the Third ; that her father was the late Duke of Cumberland, a younger • brother of George 111. ; and that her mother was a certain Olive Wilmot, married to the Duke in March, 1767. Mri;. Ryves claims to be by descent, Prin cess of Cumberland and Duchess of Lancaster —the latter title belonging, by hereditary siie ceision to the British Sovereign alone. Moreover, she claims, from the Crown, the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster (Which, even if legally a Princese, her mother could have no demand upon, as the Dnke of Cum berland had no right to them,) and £105,530 as bequests from the Royal family. There is a portrait of Mrs. Ryves in the Il lustrated London News of February 23d, yesterday received, which represents an old lady, with good but careworn features and gray hair. Mrs. Ryves is now 64 years old, and looks as if she had seen trouble. Her own history, as told in the investigation of her ease, is that she was born at Liverpool, in, March 1797, and married to Anthony Thomas Ryves, 22d November, 1822, but was after wards divorced a mensd et thoro. Her claim is not new. It was made by her late mother, before the Probate Court in Lon don, in 1822, and then dismissed, from want of proof—to say nothing of want of probability, by the House of Commons, in 1822. But the and was also repudiated, as a mere invention, story, whether true or false, is so full of in terest as to bear being told here, and the more so as the late Duke of Kent, „father of Queen Victoria, is said to have been so convinced of the validity of Mrs. Olivia Seises' claims as to have addressed her, in letters, as 4f My dear cousin." It should be added that the Duke died early iii 1820, before Mrs. Sorrel claimed to be a scion 'of Royalty. Olivia Wilmot, daughter of a drunken painter in Warwick, was also niece of the Rev. Dr. James Wilmot. When she claimed to be a Princess, her daughter ignored the parental painter, and declared - that the bene ficed clergyman was her father. Dr. Wilmot's wife was said to have been daughter of Stanis law', the last King of Poland. • It is claimed that, in March, 1767, Olivia Wilmot was married to Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, a younger brother of George 111., and then in his 33d year; that the mar , riage, solemnized by her father, took place at the house of Lord Archer, in London; that it was attended by , George 111., the Earl of Chatham, the Earl of Warwick, and Lord Archer; and that these four signed the certill-• cate as attesting witneases, as follows : I hereliyuertify that I married Henry Frede rick, Duke of Cumberland, to 011ie Wilmot, Mandl 4,_ 1787, each marriage having,-,tura'duly salaam, 3seda rites and oeilnionlanif the Churoh of Mislead. • • J. WILMOT Gamma R. I miters*, each marriage. CHATHAM. Waa.wzmr. There never was such a Peer as Lord Archer, who is said to have been an attesting witness—though he did net sign the certificate. As for Lord Chatham's having been present at the marriage, the thing is well nigh impos sible, and for the following reasons: In July, 1776, the first William Pitt, at his own re quest, was created Earl of Chatham by George lll.,—the alleged reason being that his wretched health did not allow him to continue in the House of Commons, where, as head of the Government, he would be expected to lead in debate and answer the thousand-and one questions with which officials are assailed every Session. The excuse of ill boaltb was valid, for Chatham was compelled to go to Bath, for the benefit of the waters, in the mid. die of the session, and rarely came up to town. In January; 1767, when he was ex pected to attend the meeting of Parliament, Chatham was detained, by a severe attack of the gout, at Bath. Week after week passed, and still the Prime Minister was unable to reach London. cg At length," Lord Mahon says, LI only halt recovered, he set out, but re lapsed upon the road, and lay in bed for another fortnight in the Castle Inn at Marlborough." He reached London on the evening of March 2, "still afflicted with gout, and scarcely able," Lord Mallon records, cg to move hand I or foot." Here be grew worse-0 his nerves failed him ; he became wholly unequal to the transaction of any public affairs, and, secluding himself in his own house, he would admit no visitors and open no papers on business. In vain did the King address him in repeated messages and notes." This is Lord Mahon's statement, in his History of England; and its I truth has never been challenged. We submit, upon the facts, that Lord Chat ham, who arrived in a terrible state of pros tration in London, on March 2, must have been unable to go to Lord Archer's to the wedding' of the King's brother, on March 4, and that he did not go thither, if George 111. did, because he did not see the King, in point of fact, from the autumn of 1766 until July, 1769. The certificate of mar riage, therefore, appears to lack the great fea ture of authenticity. It is almost morally and physically impossible that Lord Chatham mad have signed it. The fruit of the marriage is said to have been Olivia Wilmot, born on 3d April, 1772. This was the late Mrs. Serres, mother of the present Mrs. Ryves. The declaration is that this child was privately baptized as ct The Duke of Cumberland's infant," in the pre sence of Lord Chatham and Mr. Dunning, afterwards Lord Ashburton, and that George 111. had it rebaptized Olivia Wilmot, in order that it might pass as daughter of Robert Wit- mot, the painter. But, in October 1771, the Duke of Cumber land, forgetting his mysterious marriage in 1767, privately married Lady Anne Horton, the divorced wife of Mr: Horton, a Derby shire squire, whom His Royal Highness had seduced. This second marriage was not re cognized by the King, and Mrs. Serres exhi bited documents, which Mrs. Ryves rrobably holds now, pnrporting to show the King's anger. One of these, said to be written by Mr. Dunning. dated May 1, 1773, runs thus : ig I declare the Duke of Cumberland's mar riage with Olive Wilmot to be legal, by com mand of the King." The trifling objection to this is that, in 1773, Mr.' Dunning was not the legal adviser of George 111. It is also alleged that, at the same time, His Majesty signed the following document : cc We declare the birth of Olive, the infant of the Duke of Cumberland, by Olive his Duchess, to be le gitimate, will, is condemned to privacy by the act of bigamy committed by her Royal fa-. ther." Further, that he allowed the child a large income, and presented her with a Keen did present in money. Next, that, in 1769, be created her Duchess of Lancaster—though no patent to that effect was ever issued ; and lastly, that in his will, George 111. bequeathed to c' Olive, our brother of Cumberland's daughter, the sum of £15,000, commanding our heir and successor to pay the same pri vately to our said niece for her use, as a re compense for the misfortune oho may have known through her father." Unfortunately, the real will of George 111. is filed at Doc- Chicago. Illinois A Claimant for Bova'lv. tor's Commons, and contains no mention of Olive. The daughter, brought up as Olivia Wilmot, resided with Dr. Wilmot, at Baston-on-the- Heath, Warwickshire, and, at the age of 20, in 1792, married Serres, the marine painter. Dr. Wilmot, her grand-uncle, .who took so much pains to certify her mother's marriage, unaccountably did nothing more. We do not hear that 'he drew the large income which it is pretended that George 111. bestowed on Miss Olive. Not until 1816—noder what circumstances, and at what place is net mentioned—did Mrs. Olivia Serres hear that she was a Princess of the Blood Royal. She says that, at that time, the late Earl of Warwick, who had wit nessed her mother's marriage, forty-eight years before, communicated'the fact to her. At that time, George ll.l.was a lunatle, at Windsor Castle. AU the other parties:were dead. Lord Warwick Irinieefi; who died - In 1816, had-been bedridden helpless for years in Warwick Castle,—incapaile of writing a letter, of even - signing4kown nsue,—and, therefbre, we 'donbtthe &eel:if - his Cantonal eating to Mr& SiSries. She alleged that the bake of Kent, sou ctraeorge recognised the validity of the> . %emieliticardthe fact of her relationship to the - Royal • Family. But, unfortunately, there was but the lady's word for it, as she bottled up her claims from 1815 to , .1.822--nntil.Lord Warivick, George 'lll4 and the Duke of Kent were all tn:their!graves. The similitude; . .uflandoarritingron Mrs. Serra relied greatly, amounts to little,- because, it forged, the imitation wenld pro. bably be as near alitc.simile as possible, veral witnesse&swore, in to the signs.; tures of Georgell.l., Mr. Dunning, and Lord Warwick, but the Judge of the Prerogative Court, who judged the case, rejected all the document& We have given the facts on which Mrs. Ryves =keg the claim, which nearly forty years ago was fruitlessly preferred by her mother. We haie given our reasons, drawn from historical evidence, for thinking the whole matter a canard. Should further dis closures be made, we shall lay. them before our readers, as the case has attracted conside rable attention in this country. Edwin Forrest. [From the /few York Daily News.] • It ie possibly somewhat singular, when we glance at so long a period - of success, and of moll eminent success as that which has fallen to the lot of Edwin Forrest, that he should still have to run the gaunt let of so much critical detraction from writers who either will not or eartnot see the genius of the great est American tragedian. Still more stogular is It, when that tragedian is so admirably original, and, withal, so eminently American, whether he be es timated-ba the artist or the man, that we should see, in so many instances, those qualifications ig nored lip those who examine him favorably, as they are wilfully forgotten by those who personally un dervalue him. in reading criticisms written upon his sodas by the first - of these, they generally award him a full measure of valuation. But, in doing.so, they neglect tairiattiark two of those qua whioh most strikiagly entitle him to the name of the tined and most finished tragedian of the pre sent day—not alone in America, but in the world. We say this candidly, for we have seen all the leading artists of Europe, and only recognise 'two that can be now placed upon a par with him. Th 4 one is a female—Ristori, th . q. Italian tragedienne. The-other is en operatic eau, also an Italian -7.74 Tnase qualities are hie etriidaff' and rat subtle origiruslity,,and the peoullarly Amerlean spirit by that idloeynoratio originality is animated. floniPare Edwin• Forrest with any of the leading Rotors of our own day and time, and there cannot remain a doubt but that he is by far the moat ori ginal, whether it merely be in his manner or in his intellectual grasp of the part he undertakes. One great and,most impressive evidenoe of hie original fly, his eye, in the frank and honeat nature of his imperisodations. Stage trick be alniost completely ignores, and, in this respeet, we Chain him as more decided) y American than any artist we have ever emelt. Were it not for tide, we might have com pared him with Edmund Kean, to whom alone of of the meter!! of the peat , that we have seen, we are disposed (o award a larger amount of originality. •kit this originality was much more purely a thing caise stage than Edwin Forrest's is. We mean, ,klas . t. in many oases, it depended In . a large measure upon trick—the Wok of forced readings, abrupt ohangca in his intonation! and unexpected passages of action, which were unnatural because compulso rily adopted, yet perhaps. from that very reason the more striking. The originality of Forreat is far more genuine, because it depends more com pletely upon the idiosyncrasy of the man, and hie oilginal conception of the character which be de velops.' But the originality of Edwin Forrest is, pen haps, MOBS thoroughly displayed in that homely intensity of feelin g, . which is one of his most striking oharacterietios as an actor, and which - mast have made him, had the natural bent of his groins developed itself in that direction, the greatest molo-dramatio actor who had ever lived. Upon this element in his acting we are bound to Musa, for it has led to much of the critical in jaatioe displayed with regard to him, of which he has an ample right to complain. We have often heard the epithet of melo-dra matte applied as a term of reproach to Edwin For rest, and have felt Its injustice in the manner in which it was used. If he be melo dramatic, then was Edmund Kean much more so, and by all m ounts, Garrick mot have been to the full hie equal—while Bone n!, the greatest tragedian the lyric stage has ever known, possesses sufficient melo-drams to stock any score of tolerably good actors. What is this mole-dram, indeed, in an histrionic artist?, It is simply evidenced, when the tragedian steps down from the stilted fashion of the Kembles and the Yonnga, when he does not think it absolutely necessary to tone every line of the piece he is playing in, with the same .grandi loquent quality of speech, and home, gives his passionate moments a more intense relief, and his vigorous outbursts a greater power. This pro duces what a captious critic calls melo-drams, Out what the honest /01.18 S of the .stage believes to be nature when it is legitimately developed by a tragic artist. This quality, as en artist, Is the one which we ourselves most keenly relish in Edwin Forrest. This quality is it, which Is one of his most striking intellectual excellencies as an actor. But in addition to this, Edwin Forrest possesses a gift which he bee turned to eminent use—a gift bestowed upon him by the nature which dictated his avocation to him. We allude to hie voioe, which in some respects is one of the most marvelous ones we have ever heard upon the stage. It touches both extremes of the gamut of human passion, so completely and wondrously, that it would be difficult for the honest student of dramatic ozoollenoo to omit noticing its singularly varied and thrilling power. No artist, living or dead, have we ever heard, save Edmund Keen, who possessed such an amount of tenderness, yet could display so superb a power. We are not now alluding to the merely low modulation of the voice—Ude is merely an accomplishment but to that tenderness which produces the involuntary tear in the eyes ci him who is listening—that tenderness which thrills to the soul of him who hears it —that tendernem which unlocks the heart and renders up the listener a willing slave to the power of the artist who hoe the oapaoity to employ it. Listen to Forrest in the last scene of "Lear," where, brokenhearted by wrong and age, he wails over the dead body of Cordelea ; could a cry of deeper and more passionate tenderness have ever sprung from human lips? Hear him in the scene with his wife, in " Damon and Pythias," and tell us where is the living artist who could stir love so wondrously in the hearts of all who listen to him. In "Othello "—but to what use would It be here to recapitulate the parts in which he develops this quality? Ho does so in all. In him there is no necessity for artifloial renderings to produce en ef fect upon the minds of his audience. He wills it, and it must come upon them. It is no studious trick that he employs, but a natural right that he exercises,-when and how he wills It. Yet this power the oritio would seem to gene rally ignore. Those who are hie moat enthusiastic admirers, even, would seem to be blind to this capability which ho pomesses of touching all the tenderer capacities of the soul. While they can rave ecstatically of his power, and exalt his wonderful capacity for passion, they neglect to notice that delicious sadness which ena bled him, night after night, in his Lear and hie Othello to unseal the female eyes of those who were listening to him, and produce those tears which are at present bat rare testimonials to the success of a tragedian. - But we feel that we have already overran our space, although we have scarcely said one tithe of that which we would have said. We may again possibly return to our subject—perchance not. If we do, we would speak et that study which has so eminently conduced to make Edwin Forrest that . which he : a study not confined, as it is in too many oases, to the mere test of the author which he embodies, bat a study which, should the character be a historical one, embraces every wattle from which additional light may be thrown upon it—e study so minately careful that in many oases we scarcely appreciate the one• half of its results. We would speak of the purely physical beauty of his histrionic action, and would dwell upon his singularly great ora torical capabilities. As it is, we aro compelled to pass these over, and cad but express our deep regret that when Edwin Forrest closes his present engagement and retires from the American stage, he will leave a void upon it which at present we are no man who will be likely, by his present an nuity, to fill, either now or in the coming future. While, at the same time, we cannot but express our astonishment at seeing too many of the young (!) critics of the present adopting the cant of his old enemies, and reiterating those attaoksupon the grandest and most intellectual tragic artist Ame rica has yet produced—unable or afraid to think for themselves, and disposed to accept the worn.ont waiting of old-time personal leafing as the stand ard upon which they may base their presumedly oritittal valuation of ne who will have left a name in the history of the American, to the full as legi timately prominent as that of Garrick in the tra ditions of the British stage.

THE OVATION TO TWIGGS. THE OVATION ,TO TWIEES LE MEW ORLEAMB Fioni the New Orleans Della, March 6.) David B. Twiggs, the trusted lieutenant of Jaek eon, the compatriot of Taylor, the veteran chief who hes led he armies of the late republic in so many victorious oondiots,—the traitor of James Buchanan and Joseph Holt—was received piston day, by the citizens of New Orleans, in a manner worthy of this great and patriotic city. No snob reception has been accorded in New Orleans to any public man since the welcome of General Taylor, on his return from the glorious achievements of hie Mexican campaign. As a pageant, though got up with little preparation, it was hardly ever equalled in this city. The military were out in large force. More than twenty full, and some of them very large uniformed companies were in line. The Or- Mane Guard, alone, turned out 240 men, the Wash ington Artillery, Boatel:ins Guard, and Orleans Ca dets, 100 each. The ranks of the Crescent Rifles, of several companies of , Zouavea, the Montgomery .onard, and other companies of the tic: brigades of Generals Palfrey and Tracy, also ; mustered atirong The wholiformed a column of as gallant, well-ffisaiplined, andd , splendid Troops, as ever tamed' out to receive veteran hero and gene awl:, -Bat -the'. : 'after all, formed but small *lure in the grand reception. ;at was the demtnetration' of the vast &o ad of°M oment thist'asseinbled to welcome the patriotie•eol , diet.; and crowded broad Canal - street for several squares, and the sidewalksof al/ tbei streets link& the prooeasion - Moved-their loud and P"'" longed hurrahs, the waving of bandhesphiefs by, - the ladlesefrom every window and'lnicony, cud the , brightened and (Robed expression - cif - twenty thoi sand faces—which proelaimed in such eloquent - itsP;lWltte.:lWrifest - pistglotimm of 'our joople and -their 46Votion to the Might the Conrail:4'sta States.

Twiggs Was stricken from the roll of the army of the United States, and this constituted the claim upon the gratitude and affection of the People of this pity, of which the reception of yesterday was so eplendid a inanifesti . ion. rim EVACUATION OF FORT SUMPTER. A correspondent of the Herald thus writes from Washington : "I am able to state positively, on the contrary, that (10 66471.407Mient of Fort Seempter luta Leer determined upon Gy the President and his Cabinet. An order to that effect has, how ever, not yet been issued, and may not be for some days. The cause of the delay is not want of reso lution, bat simply a desire to prepare the North ern maid better for the now inevitable emergency.. This is the ease in a nut-shell. Both General Scott and General Wool have given, upon request, their opinion advising an elm:nation. The exoitement and indignation of the majo rity of the Republisans at the humiliation in store for them continues to be immense. The hotel parlors and.halls are pregnant with their curses. But as most have some favors to ask of the Admi nistration, their wrath will doubtless subside in a. few days. Ben Wade is said to do as much as anybody in the swearing line. Strange as- it may sound, it is now positively known that Seoretary Chase unexpectedly came out advocating the evacuating in the last Cabinet meeting, and that Messrs. Cameron and Blair were most reluctant to assent. Mr. Chase is pre gamed to have been influenced by New York dcgnoiers. The ease of Fort Sumpter only requiring imme• diate notion, nothing definite has been decided in reference to the other Southern posts. With, the precedent thus established, however, their sur render will probably be only a question of time. THE CHARLESTON FLOATING BATTERY The Tribune Charleston correspondent writes: "The famous floating battery lies near the dock, lensed out from vulgar eyes. There are many ru mors afloat concerning her, but the 'general belief is that she is praotically a failure. The guns will ,be placed on board in a few days, and. an attempt will be made to take her to the place she is de signed to occupy, within four hundred yards of Sumpter. Major Anderson will then be called on to decide whether he will protest by sending a few 120-pound shots into her, or let her be anchored, as be has allowed all the other preparations of the rebels to go on to coMpletion, right under his nose. It would seem that the next step to allowing these engines, designed to subjugate him, to be plant ed at will all-around him, would-be-the surrender of the fort into the hands of -the •rebels. • APIAI2I9 A? PZICSACOLA The Warrington (Fla.) correspondence of the Pensacola Tribune states that Lieut. Slemmerhad about forty men engaged in raising a sand battery on Santa Rosa Island, about a quarter of a mile to the eastward of Port Pickens. The Mobile Adver tiser, the editor of whisk says that he fought mos quitoes for two hours on this very spot, has these remarks to make on the subject. He says : '• This sand battery defends the only land ap proach to Fort Pickens, which stands on the ex treme western point of Santa Rosa Island. The island is some forty miles long, but very , narrow, in many place& being scarcely more than a third of a mile in width. The battery stands on .a nar row part of the island, and is an effectual ovdpost to prevent surprise from a storming force." The Advertiser thinks that this battery will play a prominent part in the assault on Fort Pickens, if one should ever be made, forit could only be taken by storm from the land side. The oorrespon.lent of the Pensacola Observer, before quoted, says that the Wyandotte was en gaged in towing out a water-tank to the St. Louis, Saban, and Brooklyn, which were in the offing.

Since his arrival be has inspected all the fortifications erected since Anderson evacuated Fort MonUm, and expressed himself as satisfied with the vigor and activity exhibited in their oon streetion.

A DatIMEEN MAN ATTEMPTS TO MURDER A OBILD.—A German, named Jaques Traub, living in the upper part of the house No. 1131 Bowery, while intoxieated, on Tuesday evening, made an unprovoked attempt to murder a little girl named Hannah Delee, daughter of one of hie neighbors. The child's father keeps a cap store in the bade meat of the building where Traub lives, and she was in the shop about 81 o'clock, in company with a little boy. Trub came reeling down into the place, and appeared to be very much irritated, but before either of the children spoke to him, he turnetto the boy, and threatened to shoot him, at the same moment prodneing a pistol. Hannah implored him not to fito at the lad, whereupon he turned toward her, and levelling the pistol at her head, pulled the trigger. The weapon was loaded with buckshot, several of wbioh entered the face and neck of the girl, causing serious injury. The report of the pistol attracted officers Knight and Sommers, of the Tenth Ward Pollee, who secured the ruffian, and removed him to the station-house.

Mr. Crittenden and the Authorities of Washington. [From the National Republican.] On Tuesday, at noon, the committee appointed by, the City Councils called on Hon. John J. Crit tenden, at his rooms In the National Hotel. The members of the committee were individually pre sented to Mr. C. by Mayor Barret, who, after A few moments had been spent in pleasant inter course, addressed a few appropriate remarks to Mr. U., in which be expressed the high apprecia tion to which he was hold, on eosount of his valua ble services in the Manaus of Congress, hie devo tion to the welfare of the metropolis, and Mail: re. grate at his departure from public' life. Mr. Berret then presented Mr. Crittenden with a copy of the reit:lindens of respect passed by the boards, and approved on the 4th of March last. Mr. Crittenden, in a short speech, expressed hie acknowledgment for the honor conferred upon him, and his regrets at being compelled to part with , them. It was, in fact, hie second home. He had lived many years among them, and he could frank ly say that he loved the people of the city of Washington. Although ho loft it with sentiments of deep regret, yet it was also with the hope of meeting them again, when they should be more prosperous and hapify, and whpn their hopes shall be brighter. He did not believe the country would settle down into a shapeless mass of ruin He did not believe that the monument would outlive the noble structure of this Union. Old Kentucky had a souvenir in that monu ment. She was the first to enter the Union after the adoption of the Constitution, and rho would be the last to leave it. She would be faith ful to the last moment ; and if the Government did fell, the Union might go to wreak, but the States would have to leave Kentucky. She would never forsake the old Union while there was one mister State to unite with her He did not know why men wanted to break up the Union. It was a land of freedom and liberty. lie challenged them to and a man who had ever been deprived of hie rights or property without redress. The reason for destroying the Govern ment was, that it had been so great and beneficent, its institutions so free, and its privileges so broad, that men had become corrupt, and were now seek ing to blast their own prosperity, as well as the bopes of the whole nation. Re wee confident that better counsels would yet prevail. Ile believed that the people from all parts of the continent world gather under the folds of onr flag, and, win back by kindness those who had separated from us. This was his hope and his faith. And he should retire from the toil of public life with a Arm confidence that the nation would sorin come out of its struggles, and would be able to look back with a thrill of joy upon the dangers which had ce• merited them rat re firmly:together, and Irbil* had made them a happy, peaceful, and glorious peo ple. Mr. Crittenden concluded by repeating his thanks for their resolutions of esteem and for their visit. After spending a short time is agreeable conversation, the committee retired. News from Jamaica. Late files of payers from Kingston, Ja., have been received at New Orleans. The following in teresting item is septet' from the Colonsal Stan dard of February 9 ! Captain Murphy, who is somewhat famous in these waters as a diver, having obtained informa tion, through a person who had beard it from his father, when a boy, of the burning of a Guinea ship to the water's edge, at the west of the harbor, Captain Murphy proceeded to investigate, and discovering the spot, as had been described, he de scended to the bottom in his diving apparatus, and raised a large quantity of ivory, which we under stand,. as estimated, will produce in money up• wards, of £l,OOO. It is said that the destruction of the ship by fire occurred a hundred years ago. The tusk of an elephant, of considerable length, with the teeth, in a state of preservation, was for a short time exhibited at the counting-house of Messrs. W. itetwood th Co., which attracted the attention of the admirers of natural history. Capt. Murphy having learned of the wreck of three Frenoh ships outside, and not far from the Palsadoes, has also made fall investigation, and traced property lying imbedded, which he will soon extricate and bring to profitable account to reward him for his great labor.

Mr. Lee:Lento and Colonels Pannero and Cause had returned from their mission to San Juan, in coneequenoe of Colonel Saa'a hostile pro ceedings in that province. It is said that the revolution there is secretly banked by President Derqui, and emebially by Governor Mitre, of Buenos Ayres, and that there is a consequent estrangement between them and General Ur galas. The Governors of Catamarca and Corri entes are unwilling to obey the decree relative to election of members of o,:mgress on the new coned tntional reform basis, and Congress was occupied with the question. In this proceeding the Governor of Corrientes, Dr. Bolen, is said to have the sup port of Urquiza. The state of the provinces generally is most unsatisfacto Catamarca, dantlago, Tucuman, Rioja, Cord ry. ova, and other places are very much agitated, and a profound feeling of distrust in the permanency of the new order of things exists everywhere.

Vaha n , the ablest man in Berra's Cabinet, had resigned, in consequence of disagreement with his col leagues, more especially with the Minister of War, Lamas, whose notions of a military dictator ship he considers dangerous. In short, the new year opens with bad omens for the Oriental Re publio. Already there are manitestatione of dan gerous symptoms, preluding a renewal of the scenes which in times past deluged the country in blood. The organ of the dominant party proposes to open subscriptions to celebrate, on the 2d of February, a grand funeral service in honor of the victims of Quintero., while the organs of the op posite party propose to give a dinner on the same day in honor of the victories of Qainteroß and Cejaneha.

A WOLF, CAUGHT BY A MAN ON SKATER.— While J ames Graham, our wide-awake sheriff, was out with a party skating on the river, a few dale since, he observed, as he was gliding swiftly along over the smooth ice, in advanoe of his companions, a large wolf crossing the river, just a few rods ahead of him, when he immediately gave chase. The frightened brute turned down the stream, finding his pursuer would cut him off before he could possibly reach the opposite bank, and ran as fast as he could, which was not hia greatest pace meting to the =Gothame of the ice. The sheriff; intent on hie game, bent hie whole energies to accelerating his pace, keeping his eye on the gaunt creature before him, and, being a superior skater, he gained upon him at: every stroke; but when within almost reach- of the animal, he hap pened to oast his eye ahead and there, within half a dozen yards, was an open siredoh of water, of several roads in width, into which the wolf sprang, followed, of 021111/0, by the !sheriff, who was unable to oheok hie momentum soon enough to avoid the disaster.

The company numbered up wards of 700 of the elite of the city and the ad joining counties. The ladies all wore dresses fully trimmed with Coventry ribbons, which were ob. tained direct from Coventry by the committee, and the gentlemen also wore rosettes end sashes of the same material.
