PITTSBURG 3 , SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1345
New YORK-011 last Tuevitty the — Natives" gave
up the city government and the democratic adminis
tration was organised.
• Ja Outing over the proceedings of the last meeting
etf the Boards, we observe that they evinced a laudable
disposition to take care of their own households, and
on the last opportunity that was afforded them, grisped
all they could from the city Treasury. 7 here is scarce
ly a man of them that was employed by the corpora
tion that did not, on the last sight of the meeting of
the Board of Aldermen, present a claim for extra pay,
and in reading the report i•f tin it proceedings we
could not find that a single one of these dit-honest
claimshad been rejected. The administiation of the
Native reformers closed with the game of grab, and
all who had aided in placing it in power, were per
initted to thrust their hands into the public purse and
drag out all they could. on this, the last opportunity
they would have for Public plunder. One claim wil
serve as a sample.fcir the whole.
A Mr S. Sammons, who has been employed ns cor
poration Attorney, presented a claim fur $1,071 ad
ditional salary, and it was granted him without a
"why or wherefore." This iy a specimen of the
"economy and reform" that tl:e Natives promised
when they went into power.
During the late contest for Mayor, Mr Harper
wrote a whiningappeal to the voters, in which he told
them that if they would re-elect him, he knew a plan
by which he would save many thousand chillers to the
city. He did not tell how he would accomplish this,
not could the most thread of the city politicians di
vine the means by which his Honor would carry out
such economy. But thernatter is ncrir perfectly clear,
end every body can understand how Mr Marper
would have saved so many thousands to the city. If
be had been re-elected, he would have kept the fingers
of his greedy cohorts out of the public purse, by pro
mising to retain them in office, and let them have a
chance for miscellaneous plunder, which they knew to
be very profitable under his administration. But if
be would be defeated, he believed it would not be in his
power to restrain them, and that before going out of
office they would pounce upon the city with the rapa
city of hungry buzzards. He was not wrong in his
anticipations, and we have no doubt het the city has
lost by this system of plunder to the full amount of
the sum that Mr Harper expected to save, if the citi
zens had retained him in a position where he could
have the means of reFressing the inclinations of iris
followers.

A TOUCH Or THE SUBLIME.—Judgo Reed of the
Supreme Court of Ohio, recently delivered an opinion
in the case of a runawaysluve, in favor of the rights of
the master. The negro was delivered up to his owner,
'according to the drcision of the judge, and the Cin
cinnati Reformer, an abolition print, thus announces
the fact:
"Judge Reed line 'remanded bark in glarery' the
men whom the lawe of Ohio had freed. Slavery 3hook

NEW SPECIES OF LESCHING.—The Mormons have
introduced a new species of lynch law; less barbarous
than the hanging aid shooting pr o cess prevailing in
some parts of the extreme west, and not so disvodieg
as tarring and feathering. When they wish to drive an
obnoxious person from among them, they whistle and
whittle him out. Finding that the natutal v. ay cf
whistling, by puckering the lips, was rather tiresome
and not sufficiently annoing, they have procured lin
whistles for the purpose of serenading all who happen
to be so unfortunate as to have given offence to the
holy brothorhood. On a revert occasion they sur
rounded one Green, and compelled him, with all kinds
of whistling, whittling and yellinz, to leave the place.

A THESPIAN corp,+ under the management of Ha m

lately, and left without raying their printing hills, for
which piece of neglect they have been published
the papers of that city. The Free PITS 3 thinks that
they were so badly taken in with the St Clair money
that they had not the 1710t11/1/ to "liquidate," and so
worst "right off."
larA malicious publican named Jucul, J Danforth,
.at Newburypolt, Mass., set a report in circulation
that on the 6th inst. at his , hop, Gough, the eloquent
advocate of temperance, had violated his pledge by
drinking strong beer. The calumny being traced
back to him directly, he has published a humble apol

SYMPTOM! Of PEACE.—The New York Morning
News says:—"lt has been announced that the London
creditors of Illinois have loaned $1,600.000 to the
State for the prosecution of the Illinois Canal.—When
it is remembered that one party to this Juan (Mr Ba-

the fact of the loan being decided at this juncture, is
tory significant of peaceful intentions."

BLACK Tottaus.—We learn, says the Richmond
Star, that this disease, epidemic erysipelas of the face,
Las prevailed to an alarming extent in several court
lies in North Carolina, and in some of the border coun

maned to adults. In the southern part of Granville
co., N. C., in two families there were nine or ten
deaths in two weeks. It has been psi ticularly fatal

Mexico has already issued letters of murque against
American commerce; or that pirates are taking ad

Ocean. While the Brig Sea Flower, from Jamaica for
Mantanzas. was on her passage, she was on April
19, chased by a small schooner. She hoisted the Mex
ican ensign, nd when within aboutone mile fired a gun,
the hall of which struck the water some distance astern
without any injury. She gained, but the night coming
on dark and cloudy, she lost her object.
Messrs. Editors:—ln your 'Review of the Mar

cool in already tied with a cord, formed by the bands,
of a portion of the fleece itself. When tied with
cords of tow, cotton or hemp, it is almost certain to
be more or lens mixed ; with fibres of those motet ials,
which prove imurions to the fabrics when manufactu
red, as they do not receive the dye prepared for wool.
If growers will tie their fleeces with twine. let the

THE S ['ATE OF THE WARS
The fears of a rupture either with Mexico or Eng
land have now apparently passed the markets; with
England none was ever anticipated seriously. The
movement of Mexico was apprehended as hostile from
the first effect of the news upon an excited people.
Sufficient time has now elapsed and NO movement of a
serious nature has taken place. The Mexican Con-
rasa seems to be coolly discussing the subject and
where time is taken to consider it there is but little
doubt that the better part of valor will manifest itself,
more especially as our papers, of a certain class.
have ceased to vapor and fightthe battles of those who
have too I ittle faith in the justice of the pretences to hos
tility to undertake it on their own behalf.
It is not possible that sagacious statesmen, such as
some of the Mexican rulers have shown themselves to
be, can possibly hope to sustain themselves before the
world in breaking its peace on 2 claim su shallow as
that of theirs to Texas. Neither will those influential
governments of Europe, whose interests have urged
them to prevent Annexation by all the arts of diploma
cy, when they have failed, allow Mexico tojeopardise
the prevailing pence, out ofrevenge for a lost province.
A %ar cannot exist without blockades and the vexa
tions growing out of that mode of proceeding must soon
involve other nations in the squabble, a danger which
the tottering thrones of Europe cannot encounter, and
ill by nu means 5411.1 to exit—N. Y. Nears.
Horrible Murder at Hoboken me Saturday—Poi
soning!—Strange and Mysterious Affair—Death
of A. P. Sendder—His Sister, Mrs. Penloyer. sus
peeled of the Criate.--The New York Herald of yes
terday say.: "We learned last evening, the following
particulars of a most singular and mysterious affair:—
ft appears that Abraham P. Scudder, an old resident
of Hoboken, aged 45 years, who kept a grocery store,
and a ho had been unwell fort wo or three days past,
died on Sunday morning last. Mrs. Pennoyer, his
sister, attended him on Saturday and Sunday even.
ing. Marcuh C'anch, a respectable citizen, was also
there, hut left early in the evening, at the suggestion
of Mrs Pennoyer, who remained alone with Mr. Scud
der, until Sunday morning, when her son-in-law arriv
ed in this city. Mrs P., who is a rather good 'eking
widow, gave notice of her brother's death. The neigh
bors came in, but he was cold and stiff. The Coroner,
Charles T Perry. was called and proceeded to hold
an inquest on the body. The jury examined several
witnesses, but nothing of importance appealing, a ver
dict of "Died by the visitation of God" was rendered.
The Coroner then proceeded to search for, and secure
the personal effects of the deceased. Scudder had, a
few days previous, exhibited to various persons his
gold watch, 8100 in bank bills, and a handful of gold
eag'es and half eagles. These could not be found, a
little silver money only remaining, where he usually
kept it, in the bureau. Mrs Pennoyer was then inter
rogated, and stoutly denied all knowledge of either
the money or the watch.— Phila. Spirit of the Times,
May 14.

"By direction of the Coroner she was watched, and
shortly afterwards she went. into the store part of the
house to the clock. and saying, "Oh, I must wind up
! the clock," opened the door, and putting her hand in,
rdrew forth the watch. It was observed, and handed
to the Coroner, who then demanded of her the money.
She denied, however, all knowledge of it, but upon
being threatened with a search warrant, she admitted
having it, and was taken into a room and her clothes
searched by two ladies. They found secreted on her
I person in an under garment, eleven and a half eagles,
one eagle, ninety dollars, in bills, another package
containing fifteen dollars, in 13 glove one half eagle,
and also a paper containing a white powder. some
small black and some white Pills. All these articles
the Coroner took possession of.
'Shot tly afterwards Mrs Pennoyer come clown and
demanded the powder and pills, as she wished to take
some medicine—but both were refused. An exami
nation of the powder now took place, and then for
the first time, the idea went abroad that there had
been foul play. The Coroner determined to make a
rr)sT Mort-rem examination. Accordingly yesterday
morning Drs Cook, Glicott and Gautier made the ex
amination. and having taken out the stomach, the cel
ebrated internist, Dr Chiston, of this city, assisted by
Dr Cook, analyzed its contents and found it contained
a large quantity of arsenic—The powder found upon
Mrs P. was also tested with a like result—and upon
examination a portion of the same poisonous drug
was found in the pitcher out of which the sick man
had drunk during the night.
'Scudder was buried yesterday shout 4 o'clock,
P. M. Meanwhile Justice John G Spear, assisted by
J W Scudder, Esq., District Attorney, proceeded to
examine witnesses in relation to this extraordinary af
fair—the facts above stated appearing in evidence.—
Mrs Pennoyer ass arrested, and after examination,
was committed to the county jail to await the action
of the Grand J ur y at the Hudson Oyer and Terminer,
in June.

turers for the Oregon Territory. The expedition is to

There is a mistake in the first sentence. Captain

to the Far \Vest. Ile will probably set out from St.

The Pat is corespondent of the Newark Advertiser
gives an account of n recent visit to the famous Gobe
tin Alnnufactory in Paris, where, under the direction
of the Government, carpets and tapestry of unrivalled
beaiity are fabricated. On entering the buildings, of
which there are about half-a-dozen. he was struck
with what seerred to be very splendid paintings, hut
which proved to be pieces of tapestry wrought in the
manufactory. Paintings, both old and new, are copi
ed with the greatest exactness, the greatest animation
being given to the features of the figures and fruit of
all kinds being represented with the utmost perfection.
One which particularly struck his attention wan a por
celain dish of various fruits upon the corner of a ta
ble of varigated marble. By its side lay a handker
chief with a lace border. So finely was the worsted
wrought, that the fingers on the dish, the stains in the
mat ble, and even the delicate "work" and each thread
of the lace were distinctly visible. The workman
stands ut tie back of the canvass this position being
necessary because all the cuttings. &c., are executed
on that aide. He states that a period of from two to
six years is requisite fur the completion ofeach piece,
and the cost often amounts to thirty-five bundled dol
lars. But even at this rate the workmen are very
meagerly paid; the best of them receiving but three
hundred dollars per year. The establishment employs
about 130 persons and none of their productions are
sold, all being either used in the royal palace, or dis•
tributed as presents by the king. The manufacture
derives its name from John Gubelin, who commenced
it in 1450.
HOUSEHOLD AND CIVIL-LIST THE SUL-
It is difficult to obtain a correct account of the num
ber of person, of both sexes, composing the imperial
household, or of the attendant expenses. There is no
civil list, strictly speaking; but a sum of 30.000,000 of
piastres (..£273.000) is nominally deducted from the
public revenues fur the Sultan's service. He is, more
over, possessor of immense domains, and has at his
disposal the produce of many wakoots. These united
sums are scarcely equal, it is said, to the innumerable
claims upon his purse. According to the assurance of
persons connected with his highness' treasury, the to
tal of individuals fed, pa d arid clothed at the imperial
expense amounts to more than Iburteen hundred, ex
clusive of kavass, body-guard, and watermen, who re
ceive rations, pay and uniform, but cook for themselves.
Each male, not a slave, receives a small monthly sal
ary, a suit of clothes annually, and presents at stated
periods. But, their pay being trifling and their cloth
ing scanty, they seek to make up the deficiency by un
limited plunder and unscrupulous demands for baskish.
The venality and inalvi rsation that, with rare excep
tions, prevail in every department of government are
carried to extreme length+ in the imperial household.
Each individul, who has the power of robbing or pecu
lating, pushes this faculty to the utmost limits.
The marshal of the palace and his subordinates are
required to keep a watchful eye upon those beneath
them; but in most instances they set wholesale exam
ples of vice which it-is their duty to check. The Sul
tan's annual expenses, including building, furniture,
and the repairs of the palaces of Top Kapati, Yeni
Serair (seragolio), Beshikta,h, Teheranghan, Begler
bey, Khiat Khana and the numerous kioshks on both
sides of the Bosphorus are estimated at 250,000 pur
ses, (1,200,000,) equivalent to a fifth of the total re
venues of the empire, and exceedingthe supposed ci
vil list by nearly £900,000. But there are no means
of verifying this statement, nor can the expense done
year be taken as the criterion of another.
Much depends upon the caprice of the monarch,
who mny erect places, kiosbke, end mosques, or pur
chase jewels and furniture without other control than
the impossibility of procuring money or credit. Some
idea may be formed of these incidental expenses fr om
the asserted fact that the additions, resetting and loss
of diamonds on the dolman worn by Sultan Abdoul
Medjid, at the ceremony of Mevlood, (Prophet's na
tivity.)on this I.2th April, 1843. exceeded £40,000.

BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL.
THE GREAT MATCH RACE !
PEYTONA VICTORIOUS!!
The New York Tribune gives the following account
of the race and the excitement attending it:—
The ,7reat contest for superiority in horse-flesh be
tween the North and South drew together a larger col
lection of people than we have ever before seen at the
Union course.
The largest number of foot passengers went over
the South ferry, and tookthe railroad, but a large num
ber ulsc went over the Fulton ferry. From good au ,
thority we learn 35 000 persons crossed the South fer
ry and 20,000 the Fulton ferry, up to 10 o'clock.—
The railroad company carried in round numbers 30,-
000 passengers to and from the course at an avetage
something over 50 cents each, which will make no in
considerable addition to their weeks' income. The
company received on the lust great race day about
$4,000.
The gathering in the course, was much larger than
we have ever seen there, and according to the best es
timates 70,000 persons. The stands were all crow
ded to the utmost extent; the track was so much en
cumbered that a strong police force cruld scarcely
keep it free for the running horses, and the field
was full of carriages and omnibusses filled with
passengers. In the members' stand were about sixty la
dies, belonging to the first families of the city.
The course was not in good order, being very dry and
in some parts fetlock-deep with sand and dust. This
was more unfavorable to Fashion thin to Peytona, the
latter beirg the strongest horse.
The excitement was great when the horses appear
ed at the tap of the drum, and betting became still
more favorable to the Southern horse when she was
stripped. The North had been hacking Fashion
heavily, but there was now a disposition to hedge, and
odds could be had on Peytona. Both horses appeared
to be perfectly right, although Peytona had rather the
most lively and gamey look.
The horses got off well together at the first start,
Peytona having the inside, which she kept, as well as
the lead, and won the first heat by three lengths, amid
the shouts of the excited crowd. Thebetting was now
100 to 50, arid even occasionally larger odds on the
Southern horse, and few takers.
NViien the horses came up for the second heat, they
did not appear to have cooled off well, Fashion being
apparently the most distressed. After one false start
they went off at slashing pace, Fashion getting the in-
side.
During the first three miles tne horses ran together
with scarcely a perceptible difference between them,
and the interest in the race became intense. When
they passed the judges' stand on the fourth mile Pey.
lona was scarcely the breadth of an ear behind. Both
jockeys were playing spurs and crowding the hcrses
to their utmost speed. On the last quarter Peytotta
made a brush, and it was evident that her immense
stride Wt.* doing the business.
Peytona has won for her owners $62,600 in purses
in six years, never having been beaten. She has prob
ably won much more for them in side bets. Having
conquered the victor of twenty-three fields, she may
be considered the paramount horse on the turf in this
country.
This has been one of the most exciting races the
north has ever known, and as fashion was freely buck
ed until within a few days, by our sporting circles, we
suppose Park Row and Vesey street are neat clean
ed out.
Coming down the straight turn to the judges' stand
she gained slightly at every jump and came in (Fashion
under whip and spur) winning the heat and rice by
half a length. The shout that rent the welkin WRS
the signal fur the transfer of at least one hundred
thousand dollars from the pockets of the Not th to the
pockets of the South.
The time, it will be seen, was not very good, the
first heat being 7,} seconds longer than Fashion's first
heat with Boston. The first heat was run in 7 39.1,
and the second in 7.45.

A GREAT MAN
We felt very much like going into mourning, and
did, indeed, spatter the margiu of the bunk with a pen
full of ink, as we laid down the third volume of
Wilkes' Exploring Expedition, strack with the record
of the death of Patrick Connell. Poor Patrick—or,
as he was called for shortness, Paddy. It is a pleas
ant way the world has of signifying its affection for a
man. by smoothing his name—or shaking out the
wrinkles—or softening down the final consonants into
delicate vowels. Subtending the angles of some three
syllabled appellative with a single sounded hypoth
enense.
Captain Wilkes, on arriving at one of the farthest
and most undesirable of the Fr ejee Islands, where
pig's flesh is a luxury, and human flesh a high holiday
food, had a visit from a host cf the oil-bedaubed and
clay-covered inhabitants, whom he addressed through
an interpreter, and whose wants, in the way of jack
nives, bends, and glass bottles, he supplied. With a
modesty acquired, of course, among the cannibals, one
inhabitant gently pressed aside the inierpreter, and, to
the question of what lie wanted, replied that his honor
should gim him a hatchet for the chillers." Great
was the astonishment of the captain to ascertain that
beneath the bushy-head and oiled skin before him beat
the heart of an Irishman, who, to the question of what
he was doing there, replied, "raising pigs, hens and
children." The pigs and hens did not multiply rapid
ly, but Patrick was the happy father of '•forty-eight
children," and was living in the hopes of two more
that very yenr. But, alas, the hopes of this Priam of
the Feejees were blasted—not in the failure of his
plans, but in the termination of his life. He died in
a few months afterwards, "leaving a large circle of
wivee and children to deplore their irreparable loss."—

HOW THE REPEALERS WILL RECEIVE
THE QUEEN
The Queen is to come here early in July, leaving,
'tis said, Parliament setting—leaving an excuse for her
Ministers to stay from us—leavings Legislature ready
filing us little concessions or fiery coercion—sugar
plums, or cannon shot, as we show ourselves duped
slaves or firm men. Let her come—she is a young
and kindly woman—she shall be welcomed with ten
derness. Let her come—she is our first magistrate
(by courtesy at least, for Peel is so in fact) and she
shall meet loyal respect. But let her not come, if she
comes to trick us into forgetfulness of Liberty. To
that we owe a high authority—to that deeper love.
Let her not tread the soil of the Volunteers, the Bat
tle-ground of Brian—let her not pass the grave of
Tone, the prison of O'Connel, or tl.e gibbet-ground of
Emmett, in hopes of teaching us slavery—let her not
be false-made to hope the Priests of Nationality
shall stop their anthems because a monarch bath
come in. Let the queen come, and every shout shall
ring alternately, "The Queen and Repeal!" "Repeal
and the Queen!" Let her come, and see no crouch
ing serfs ready to worship her sceptre, or of savage
child-men to gape at her glaring pomp. Let her come
and right welcome; butsooner may theaod whither from
our land, and bare the bones of our martyrs to our
famished eyes, than Ireland, for !courtesy or favor,
halt in her march of Independence!
