SATURDAY, MAY 19, UM
A MONiTOR To GO To EUROPF.—The
continued rarpings of the foreign press,
r specially that of England, against the
American or monitor system of ironelads,
:out their assertions that such vessels could
'lnver cross the Neat, and were entirely
n4eless in a heavy sea, arc about to be dis
proved by a practical test. An oPP:whin:f
-ly has been afforded by the passage of the
ioint resolution congratulating the Em.
deror and the people of Russia on the es
cape of that sovere,gn from assassination,
d Captain G. V. oos. Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, has been deputed to convey the
resolution to Russia -and present it to the
'ear. lie will proceed thither in the
monitor Miantonomah, sister ship to the
S.onadnock, which has recently made such
a successful trip round Cape Horn to Val.
paralso, on her way to San Francisco.
A COIIRERPONDENT of the Wyoming
County Republican, who chanced to serve
10 present terra on the Grand Jury of the
U. S. District Court in this cit.), expresses
himself after this irreverent fashion
"The cloud that hung over the doomed
titles of Herculaneum and Pompeii, could
scarcely have been more dense than that
which daily' and hourly hangs over the
u.es of Pittsburgh and Allegheny. Prom
tont cloud continually descends particles of
larip.bhoikv dust; we eat lamp black. We
drink lamp-black, we breathe lamp-black,
and when when we wake in the morning
our mouth and nose are full of the same
useful material, The male residents of the
city are easily recognized by their dingy,
begrimmed countenances. Colored people
Is vote here, the laws of the State to the
ottrary notwithstanding. Perhaps we
have stolen a part of that idea from the re
marks of a little urchin who said 'Ma, if
white people's made of dust, ain't colored
people made of coal dust ?' But be that a ,
it may, the fact is as we have stated, and it
isn't be rubbed out any more than this
dirt can be washed out, for the oily water
f !CMS to hold that same dust in chemical
s lotion, and the soap refuses to interfere
with it."

MR. Ft:MENDEN IS opposed to Mr.

Is-cause the proposition bus been generally

The last foreign arrival brings the pleas
ing intelligence of the safe arrival of James
Hamill, the champion oarsman of America. at
Noweastle,LEngland, and also the information
that all preliminaries for the sculling match
with Kelly, the English champion, would be
speedily arranged. Vasil I was enthushosti
eally received, as will appear from the follow
ing from the London Sportnnon .
"Just as we were on the point of going to
press we received a telegram informing us
that Hamill, the champion scalier of America,
arrived at Newcastle last evening, accom
panied by his brother and his trainer, Laugh
lin. As staled elsewhere, Robert Chambers
and old Harry Clasper left Newcastle for
Liverpool on Tumday last, in order to wel
come our gallant visitor to English ground,
and, on the arrival of the party at New
castle, tile station was literally beselged ,
with a dense crowd of eager Tynesiders, who
glove the American a most enthusiastic recep
tion. After visiting several of the leading
sporting houses, the party called at the
Odle° of the Newcastle Chronicle, and thence
adjourned to ,Cluspees hotel, where to very
pleasant evening 01 as spent. Is ex
pected to make his debut on the Tyne this
morning, and his first appearance afloat is
looked forward to with the greatest excite
ment by the Tynesiders, who are all very
favorably impressed with Ills appearance.
Our telegram describes him as bearing a close
resemblance both in heighth and build to
! Robert Cooper, hut broader and stronger
made, and, as far as looks go, a very promis
ing cumulate for the eluompimiship lie Is said
to have expressed himself exceedingly grati
fied by his reception at Newcastle, and has ar
ranged to visit London early next week, and
will call at our of immediately after his ar
rival. Thus tar, therefore, the prospects of
the long-talked-of international match are In
every respect most 'trembling, and notwith
standing the persistent manner in which
some of our cotemporaries have thought fit to
throw cold water on use whole affair, the arri
val of the American must effectually dispel all
doubts as to the bona Mc nature of his Inten
tions. All that now rentalns to be done Is to
adjust one or two minor points in the terms,
and as these present no substantial difficulty
which cannot be settled by a personal Inter
view between tile principals, we have every
hope of being able to announce In our next
Issue that the preliminaries of the second
great International match for the champion
ship of the world have been satisfactorily ar
ranged. Whatever may be tile ultimate resuit.
we may rest .sueril that Hamill will meet
with a worthy and generous opponent, who
would scorn to stoop to either meanness or
siditerfuge, and should the American succeed
in his eliivalros undertaking to win for the
New World, the coveted honor, no true Eng
lishman will grudge him tits triumph."

appeared, as also did Peter Greet, who is ac

as to the cause of her absence. Ile
said lie nbt not know, neither could he toll
her whereabouts. Matters were at a dead

the principal defendant, and the ILiStlMed ig

her, seemed to foreshadow a design to defeat
the ands of Justice. Greet was held 4., answer
at court the charge brought against him, and
the recognizance of the fair Anna was Co. felt
