visited Syracuse, and spoke to a large multitude.
The Government had appointed a board of °fitment.
to examine all the vessels of the United States' navy,,
with a view to ascertain the practicability of coil-a-
verting them into steamers.
A correspondent of the New York Herald, writ-
ing from Truxillo, gives some account of Walker's,
proceedings. After he abandoned the fort by order
of the British captain he was overtaken by a native
detachment of volunteers, and a fight ensued about
10 miles from the town, which resulted in the loss
of a few men on both sides. Three of Walker's
men who were afterwards found wounded were
killed by the natives. They would have n mrdered
some of the sick had not the captain of the Icarus
threatened to hang them at the yard-arm if they
did so. The excitement, however, continuing, he
took them on board his vessel. A reward of 2,000
dollars was offered for Walker's head. They latest
intelligence of the fate of Walker is contained in the
following extract from the New York Couriers- and
Inquirer :
" The race of the pirate Walker is probe bly
ended. Among the telegraphic despatches which
we publish this morning is one announcing
the important news that the British war steamer
Icarus, with a transport of troops under
the command of Alvarez, had proceed to Rio Negro„
where Walker and his band had encamped ; that;
the boats of the Icarus had passed up the river,.
captured Walker and 70 of his men, all of whom
had been taken back to Truxillo, and given up to
the authorities of Horuluras. Many of the men
had been sick, and they were permitted to return
to the United States on condition of never again
engaging in an expedition against Central Ame-
rica. As for Walker and one of his colonels, named
Kudler, they were to be shot. This intelligence
was brought to Havannah by a Spanish war
steamer, arid from Havannah to New Orleans by
the Star of the West. It is doubtless correct, and
probably before this Walker and his Colonel have
been shot. If they have, their fate is richly de-
served—a fate that Walker should have met long
ag'o, and would have met if our Government had
done iiA duty, and not left to a foreign Power to inter-
fere for the punishment of a pirate whom our own
Government has permitted to walk unarmed through
out the country, and go out from it a second time,
as the scourge of a neighbouring and friendly
nation. Justice has come at last ; but it is a dis-
grace to the United States that its Government had
no hand in dealing the blow."
The Washington papers report the discovery of
a new planet, its right ascension being 23 hours
and 4 minutes, and its declination 3 degrees and 23
minutes south.
The Gulf of Mexico had been visited by a severe
hurricane on the 15th, involving a great loss of pro-
perty. Nearly every house in Belize was carried
away, and several lives were lost. Milneburg, the
terminus of the Povchartrain Railroad, was sub-
merged, and the wharfs damaged. It was reported
that all the wharfs arid bath-houses on the Lake
shore between New Orieans and Mobile had been
swept away. The town. of Biloxi, Mississippi, was
in ruins. At Mobile the .storm was severely felt.
All the wharfs in the lowei" part of the city were
submerged during the gale. Pomeroy and Mar-
shall's lime warehouse was burnt, and several
steamboats blown ashore. The lot;s by the fire and
storm was 500,000 dols.
On the 14th a passenger train from Racine to
_Freeport was run into by a freight tra.in, and five
persons were killed.
The sub-committee appointed by the Douglas
State Committee to endeavour to negotiate a union
with the Breckinridge Democracy met on the 15th
at the St. Nicholas Hotel and resolved to reject the
terms of the "National Volunteers." The latter
were made acquainted, verbally, with the ultima-
tum of the Douglas men—that the Breckinridge
party should have six of the eleetors and four more
in a certain uncertain contingency; that Breckin-
ridge candidates should be substituted for lieute-
nant-governor and canal commissioner, but that an
the men substituted should be new men. To this
the Volunteers would not accede, and there the ne-
gotiations ended. In view of this failure to fuse,
the Breckinridge State Committee issued a mani-
festo, in which they conceded the election of Lin-
coln and threw the responsibility upon the Douglas
Democracy,
The new Mexican papers contain accounts of
numerous engagements with the Indians.

The Montreal Ocean Company's steamer Bohe-
mian, Capt. Grange, from Quebec, on the 22d ult.,
has arrived, and landed all mails. She has on
board the body of Mr. Herbert Ingram. His son
had not been found. The Bohemian passed the
Anglo Saxon on the 24th ult. His Royal nigh-
ness the Prince of Wales left Hamilton on the
20th ult. and arrived at Detroit the same evening.
The Prince was enthusiastically received. Tbe
streets were splendidly illuminated. His Royal
Highness entered the hotel privately. The
suite followed, escorted by the firemen, the
militia, and a number of citizens. The next

but found it impossible on account of the streets
being blocked up by spectators. The Prince left
in the afternoon for Chicago under a royal salute.
