V w ...w " "Recollections of an Actress" by Miss Char lotte Cushman published on our first page, will we think prove interesting to all our readers and partictlarly so to those who remember the incidents related, and were themselves actors To those who extended the helping hand to the victim of the Bail-Piece, this narrative will no doubt afford pleasing reflections. We know of no person by the name of Badger who lived in this neighborhood in 1835, and suppose that this name was made use of either to conceal the real name of the individual alluded to or because it was forgotten. This singular story affords another instance of the correctness of the saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." Col. Johnson' in the Field. Col. R. M. Johnson has been nominated for the Presidency of the United States, by the D emocratic members of the Legislature of Ken tucky. Churches in Texas.

Latest from China-BIowing up and destruction of the Chinese villages and vrobahle destruction of Can ton, &c. , From the New York Tribune. The Brio: Albion arrived at this port yesterday from Canton which place she jleft on the 15th of September, bhe has a lull cargo ol leas and Silks cansigned to Boorman, Johnston, & Co. It was said by the Chinese that Among was taken and burnt by the British on the!27th Aug. From Can ton there is intelligence -of interest contained in the following extract of a letter dated, Macao, 8 1-2 o'clock, P. M., 15th Sept. 1841. I have already written to you several letters by thfs conveyance which I now confirm, and have now iust heard, I hope in time for this vessel, of CapL Kias (the commanding omcer; naving issued a Droclarhation in Chinese, and commenced hos tilities by attacking the villages on the banks of the river near where tne obstructions were sunx, and by blowing up and utterly de3troying Wong Tung and the fortresses at Cow Loon. There is a rumor of his intention to surround Canton, and 1 should not be much surprised to henr of the city being burnt.before I get away from here. Thus it appears, as conjectured and stated to you yester day, that the least provocation is now made the ex rise for great violence, and the result is as doubt ful ard the anticipation of it as much clouded by a fear of sunning to the innocent people, as at any former period. This news is just at hand in a let ter fron! i Canton, wn the smoke of the burning villages was seen, the canons heard, and the peo ple of Canton were fleeing all directions, whilst Iho reports were that many peopl had been klIle1 at the villages. Colt, the Suspected Murderer. We are indebted to the New York Tribune for an extra, giving the particulars of tho tn2l of John C. Colt, charged with the murder of Samuel Adams. The prisoner was without gloves, was dressed in a fiock coat of blue; beaver cloth with a velvet collar, his hair was well brushed, his whiskers neatly trimmed, and j he appears to have suffered scarcely at alt; ei- j hor from his confinement or from the the re- j sn,..;ltno k; onudition must naturajiy awae within his breast. His face was slightly flushed, and there came at times across his strongly marked featurs, a bitter, scornful expression, '.which soon disappeared, however, and he again resumedkhis wonted composure, occasionally gazing intently upon vacancy. Ee seemed deep ly absorbed in reflection. When addressed by those around him, he conversed with easy fa miliarity, and occasionally with vivacity and cuuenuiiieBs. ms brother, thenventor oi ine patent rifles, was present and "seated by hi; side; and among the witnesses was Mrs. Ad anis, the widow of the deceased, attended by her father. The Court finding it difficult to obtain a Jury, determined to summon threVhun- dred persons to attend on Wednesday, and ad; journed. HARRISBURG NEWS. January 20, 1842. In Senate.
