THE PRIZE STEAMER CIRCASSIAN.

(From Um Nen York Timm)

We published on Thursday last a letter to the
London Times, from Z. C. AMMO, the owner of the
British steamer Cirousiau, recently captured by the
Somerset, and sent in as a prise. In this letter Mr. Pear-
son, having noticed the report that the Circassian was
bound to one of the blockaded ports, take. occasion "to
say most distinctly that such • statement is essentially and
entirely false."
Only two days after the arrival of Mr. Pearson's letter
here, Judge Mervin's decision in reference to the Circassian
arrived from Key West, and that opinion shows that the
vessel was sailing under an agreement, signed by Puma
himself,
himself, that the reseal should go to Havannah, Nassau, or
Bertunds, and thence go to a port of America, "and to run
the blockade if so ordered by the freighters," and that the
freighter had agreed that the goods should "not be disem-
barked but at the port of New Orleans, and to this affect
he engages to run the blockade."
Mr. Pearson probably thought the assertion was • safe
one, having noticed the announcement that the muter of
the Circassian had burped • package of letters before the
prize crew took possession of her, and thinking that the
evidence of the truth would not be forthcoming. The
master did barn such • package—an act which, of itself,
was enough to canoe the condemnation of the vessel ; but
there was another package on board which he failed to burn,
and which contained in it abundant evidence to warrant the
condemnation of the steamer and her cargo as lawful prize.
If Mr. Pearson desires to try again to run the blockade,
he has now more experience than be had before ; and if that
experience does not lead him not to make positive denials in
the public prints until the evidence in theme is all offered,
he will show himself a person not fit to be entrusted with
goods or smash hereafter.

THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT MANCHESTER.—
Yesterday morning his Highness and suite, attended a
meeting of the corporation, at the Town.hall, where ad-
dresses were presented to him from the mayor, aldermen,
and citizens, the directors of the Manchester chamber of
Commerce, and the Cotton Supply Aesociatioo. His High-
ness replied in French, and maid that /ADP his arrival in
England be had received a welcome so cordial that be was at
• loss for expressioes of acknowledgment. He was happy
to rind that his efforts on behalf of his own people had been
appreciated in England. He bad done his utmost to facili-
tate commercial communication through Egypt. With
respect to cotton, the season was about over, but next year
he felt confidence in promising, if not double the amount of
the last crop, at least an increase of one-half. The Viceroy,
his suits, and the company then proceeded to the mayor's
parlour, where lunch was provided.

GMTERAL SYNOD OF THE SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL

GoVERNMENT EMBALMERB.—OD my way to
plantation from the camp I saw before me some tents sur-
rounded with curious things—a sign-board on which was
written with large letters, • Drs. Brown and Alexander,
government embalmers." They are not to embalm the
government, however, but only those who require
it by the care of the government. My Irish
gentleman friend was acquainted with the doctor—
I do not know whether Brown or Alexander, but
we found him sitting on a mat in his drawers and
shirt, with • large diamond pin in the latter rather muddy.
coloured garment. " Take a drink ?" Of course. Old
Bourbon whisky and large tumblers. That once over, I be-
gan asking questions. The doctors were doing a large busi-
ness; there behind were four corpus. "See them r Of
course, poor fellows ; none of them shot, all died by fever.
The doctors told me their principal ingredient for
embalming was a kind of liquid glass and gypsum,
which hardened to • substance like stone. In this
state the body would keep for many years, per-
haps for ever. The bodies looked well preserved although
not very agreeable. The doctors took for embalming •
private 25 dollars, and for an of 50 dollars. I wan told
that since the commencement of this war above 2.000
bodies of soldiers had bees embalmed and sent home. This
was done by Adams's Express, in deal boxes, lined with
sheet zinc. The poor fellow I saw nailed up wore his
uniform, and his writing-case and portfolio were laid beside
him. With this, aod • bundle of 'hay under his head and
the address on the oover el the box, he was sent horns to
his mourning psrents.—Letter /roe: a Pokes/ Camp.
A YOUTH COMIIITIING SUICIDE THOM THE TOOTH-
ACHE.—On Monday last an inquest was held before R. Slag-
den, Esq., at Monk's-common, Bathurst, touching the ,
death of a young man, 18 years of age, named William
Damage. Edward Dinnage deposed—l am • broom-maker,
and live at Manninis-heath. The deceased, William No-
nage, was the son of my brother, Jordan Dinnage, of
Monk's Common, and was 18 years of age. On Satur-
day last I was at work in my brother's shop with the de-
ceased. I saw nothing strange about him, but during the
day beard him complain very much of the toothaches
and he did but little work. He has suffered very severely
with toothache during the last four or five months.
I have known him sit sad cry for hours together with it,
and more frequently during the last month. He suffered
wonderfully with it. I left the workshop on Saturday
about one o'clock, when I called to the deceased, who was
at the time gathering currants in the garden, and I told him
I would leave him to lock the shop up, and he said " All
right, uncle." I them left. Edmund Chart, labourer
Monk's Gate, said that on Saturday last, about half-past
ten, p.m., be went with deceased's father to the broom
shop where deceased had been working, and found it fastened
in the usual way, and they broke the door opm. They
found deceased hanging by a line to a beam. His feet and
knees were upon the grouad. He (witness) cot him down.
He was quite dead and stiff. He should think the deceased
I must have stood upon the ground when he hanged himself.
The coroner, in summing-up, called the attention of the
jury to the evidence of the uncle of the deceased.
It was clear from the statements this witness made
that the deceased was not known to complain of any-
thing bat of the toothache, of which there could be no
doubt the poor fellow suffered most severe' , and it was
quite probable that the mind of the de bad become
affected by the continued excruciating pains to which it
appeared he had been subject during the last few weeks.
They had heard the whole of the evidence, and it would
be for them (the jury) to say bow the deceased caros by
his death, and in what state of mind he was at the time.
The jury expressed their conviction that the deonsed
destroyed himself by imaging and that at the times he
aom-
mitted the act his Miami was temporarilyum
deraa&aeand
they found a verdict to that effect.— Were S
