Mercury of Thursday contains a long and circumstantial

of persons visited Itutmorn in the course of the day,

Corroe ONCE IIORL—NVe were passing through •

in one direction; all eagerly talking, and all seemingly
anxious to obtain • sight of we knew not what. Follow-

stood a heavily.l.den lurry —or wagon, as it would be
called elmwhere—laden with a precious freight to these
feverishly analogs creatures. Balse of cotton! bales at
cotton! and gmdely cotton too, as experienced spinout
and minders could easily tell. Well, round this un-
gainly lurry • crowd of hundreds WU gathered. Men
Lid their hands on the huge, and to us unsightly,
parcels with • loving touch, and as though greeting an
unlooked-for friend who had long been given up fee
lost. Others gave the bags • hearty slap, and added.

How To DESTROY A/tem.—An agriculturist. M.
Gamier, has just announced an infallible method for
getting rid of ants. In • corner of his garden infected
with legions of these insects he plead four saucers eon-
tainiog tutor and water, with a tenth of its weight of
arsenic in the mixture. A cumber of ants immediately
invaded the saucers, but were soon after perceived

in dragging their dead comrades away. From that

following day not a single one was to be seen. How

DEATH or • CLEW:ITN/01'6 SOS ?ROM NICOLECT.—
An ingaest has been held in London, and was concluded
on Tuesday, 30th ult., on the body of • child said to
have been starved to death by its father, the Rev. S. T.
Webb. The father, who had been • curate of London,
and who hod lost his wife, left his children, the eldest
1 of whom was eleven years, unwired for and almost un•
provided for, while be had been &Lout for • month in
Ireland. The &mewed boy wle • cripple, and ailing.
The children thus neglected were in • shocking condition
of filth and emaciation when the father returned, sod
the boy died on the 23rd ult., covered with sores and
vermiu, and in • terribly emaciated state, which
showed long-standing neglect end want of cleanliness.
The Rev. Thomas Hugo, incumbent of All Sainte,
Bishopagate, deposed that the father of the child had
been dismissed for misconduct from his duties at that
church. The jury agreed to the follosting verdict
"That the deceased died from spasm of the glottis,
predisposed by want of care, and that the conduct of
the father was highly censurable."
THE AMTRICAN TRACT PROPONMONIL—The Times
correspondent, writing from Clifton House, Niagara
Falls, says "The cpposition to Mr. Lincoln's reelection
gathers strength every day. At Clifton House there is
a daily and hourly influx of the leading statesmen, poli-
ticians, and eleven wire•puliers of the North•Weetern
States, to consult with the three or four Southern
emimaries in the confidence of Mr. Jefferson Davis, who
have tempo:aril, taken up their abode in Canada, end
learn from them whether compromise be not possible on
any terms, and especially on those of an armistice and a
convention of the States, as already notified. Mr. Dean
Richmond may, if he will, become the nominee on this
basis of the Chicago convention, but he hesitates, it sp.
pears, to accept the position, though he has not formally
declined it. The M'Clellan meeting has not materially
altered the conditions of the cue ; for New York State,
much less the city, cannot carry a candidate against the
North-West. The feelings of the Democratic leaders,
and especially of those who are pledged to support an
armistice, in strong against ll'Clellan. He ie held to be
lon timid to suit the emergency, even if ha should have
the preliminary courage to resign his commission. The
coming days threaten to be dark and gloomy, if not
bloody, and a strong-minded resolute civilian, like Mr.
Dean Richmond, accustomed to manipulate the muses,
knowing the pulse of the public, thoroughly sennainted
with party mechanism in all its intricacies, • man who
can manage it as an engineer can manage • 'deem engine,
is recognised at' more likely to be an effective president
in a dangerous crisis than a military man like Weiellan.
Meanwhile, the militery agents of the government in
the North• West are doing their utmost to remove all
the prominent individuals known to be opposed to Mr.
Lincoln's reelection, ant to be in favour of making
terms with the South. In Kentucky, more especially,
a complete reign of terror liu been esuselished by two
brigadier-generals—one named Prime, commanding in

Northern division of that state. The same correspon•

It/AULT/I Or RECLAIMING LAND.—Fine crops of

Dear Preston, where • few pion ago the tides of the
Ribble regularly flowed, but which, by the com-
bined efforts of Sir T. C. Hesketh. Bart M.P., and the
Ribble Navigation Company, has been reclaimed. The

over the crops on the land, which they bad all known
• few years before as bleak unproductive sand, when

A &MANOR 870111 r. • A young man of respectable
appearance, giving the name of Cornelius Townsend,
was 'barged by Men. Jane Barnard, at the Plymouth
Guildhall, on Monday, the 29th ult., with obtaining
from her, by felee pretences, provisions and money.
The story of the young man, as drawn out by the
nature of the charge, was of a singular and eventful
character. Mrs. Burnard. who keeps an eating-hour,
stated that she agreed to board and lodge Townsend,
who told her he was a clerk in the Telegraplioffice, at
10t. a-werle. The following day he deposited with her
husband a draft for £25; and she continued to board
and lodge him for some days, lending him small sums
of mon,/ as be asked for them, until be had incurred •
debt of 15s. 6d. He made venous proclaims of payment,
stating that ho Ind not received his wages ; and at
length prosecutriz becoming suspicions sent the draft to
the bank, where she was iofornied that it was of no
value. Subsequently, at his request she tent it to him;
and afterwards, on reeeiving a message from him that
he was going to Exeter, and could not tell essctly what
day he should be hack, she made inquiries at the
Telegraph-office, and had him taken into custody. SG it
turned out that he was not • clerk in that establishment,
as she had understood. In reply to the charge. Townsend,
who is evidently a very intelligent young man, and
told his story with • great air of truthfulness, rated
that he had made no false pretence with regard to the
draft, and that if be was not yet a clerk in the Tele-
graph-office, be was awaiting his appoini ment there, as
coon as be could par the requisite number of words per

father and mother had both been killed at Cawnpore
during the Indian mutiny ; and he himself Ma had
several hair-breadth escapes, in disguise, in following
his occupation as telegraph operator, which he had been
for five years. The draft mentioned—the frgments of
which had been found in his pocket by the pare—was
• genuine document. Prior to the measeere in which
be fell his fatter had been in command of a native corps,
and had amassed between £4OO and £5OO, great part of
which was still due to him. The signature to the draft
was that of Colonel Finance, the commanding officer of
the regiment, who mince his father's death had sated as
his guardian. It wet made payable in Calcutta, bathe
had not cashed it there in consequence of having an
opportuni•y of working his Nonage home, and believing
he mold get the money as readily in England. Since he
had been in this country, however, he had found that
he could not do so, and had therefore written to India
I. reference to it. He might have acted thoughtlerly
in respect of the proseeutrix ; but he had had no Brea-
Lion to defraud, and would pay what be owed imme•
diately it was in his power. He would have done so
very soon, but he feared that his arraignment that day ,
might cost him his prospective situation at the Tclegrapn I
office. However, he was well-educated, and had
excellent testimonials to ability and character, and did
not doubt, therefore, that he should readily get employ-
ment. As noon as he aidi he would pay. The Bench
questioned Townsend particularly upon various parts of
his story; and he entwered every inquiry readily, and
in a manner which strongly corroborated the impression
formed a the truth of hie narrative. The Bench
believed lais tale, and said they did not think that the
circumstances of that day would militate groat his
prospect of a situation; be lad, however, been impru•
