COLOMBIA.

The intelligence respecting Colombia, brought by the New York
Papers which reached us last night from Liverpool, is not later in date
titan previously received ; but the account of the assassination of Gen.
Sucre is confirmed. We add some particulars.
The editors of the Journal of Commerce have been favoured with the
following extracts of letters from Carthagerta

" CARTHAGENA, JULY 2.
" The Bogota post has just come in, bringing the horrible intelli-
gence of the assassination of General Sucre. This atrocious deed was
perpetrated by order of the traitor General Obando, who dreaded the in-
fluence of Sucre in the south. It appears that Obando ordered a party
to conceal themselves in a wood near to Pasto, and to sally out and
murder Sucre as he passed. His mandate they too fully obeyed. The
victor of Ayacucho is no more. The mode of his death will be a lasting
stain upon his country, as his own conduct had been its ornament. The
President, Alosquera, pretends to disbelieve that Obando was the author of
this murder, and credits an absurd story that the son, brother, or cousin of
some one whom General Sucre had ordered to be shot, committed this
crime to avenge his death. It is positively false that Sucre ever caused
any individual to be shot in Pasto. Obando, and Obando alone, would
have dared to commit such a crime. Sucre is the fourth General, be-
sides many inferior field officers, that have been assassinated within
the past year by the soi-disatit Liberals. The others are General of
Division Mires, at San Borron ; General of Brigade Pasdel Castillo,
near Guayaquil; and General Lucas Carbajal, on the plains of Ca-
*snare.

" DEATH or Gs:w. Sucaz.—Letters received by the Montilla state,
that Oen. Antonio Jose de Sucre had been assassinated while on his way
to Paste. If this be true, it is much to be lamented. Nest to Bolivar,
Oen. Sucre is the greatest benefactor of South America. Ile was born
at Cumana, in Venezuela, in 1793, consepuently was 37 years old at the
time of his death. He was educated at Caracole, and entered the army
in 1811. From 1814 to 1817 to served in the staff. He commanded the
pattiot forces at the battle of Pinehicha, on the 24th May, 1822 ,when
300 Spaniards were left dead on the field, and the remainder, 3,000
men, capitulated. By this event, the independence of Colombia was
finally secured. In June, 1823, he was elected Commander.in-Chief
of the patriot forces in Peru, on the approach of a powerful Spanish
aarmy, and soon after was invested with the supreme command. On
the 9th of December, 1824, he gained the battle of Ayacucho, the most
brilliant ever fought in South America, in which 1,400 royalists were
killed, 700 wounded, and 3,784 taken, including 16 Generals, 16
Colonels, 68 Lieutenant-Colonels, and 484 officers of lower grades.
This secured the independence of Peru. He afterwards liberated
the province of Bolivia, became supreme chief, and was finally ap.

pointed by the Congress of that Republic, President for life. II c
was first Pr.sit"..,nt of the late Constituent Congress of Bo- I-
gota, was delegated by that body as one of the commissioners to propose
friendly terms with Venezuela; and when this mission had proved un.
successful, and the Congress had closed its labours, he proceeded to the
Southern Departments to appease certain disturbances which had arisen
under Gen. Fl.lrcs. There, it would seem, he had met an untimely
fate. His stature was rather below the middle size, his countenance
sprightly, and his manners refined and pleasing.
" It was also reported that two other Generals had fallen victims m
assassination; but this, the letters say, was without foundation. 11'e
would gladly hope that the same might prove true in regard to the noble-
minded Sucre."

ONE SMILE MORE.

From a rolaine of Exquisite Poetry,
(Tll E GARLAND.)
A smile for dear Wont-in—for if there's a treasure
On earth worth possessing, then surely 'tis she;
For what without her would be life's proudest pleasure ?
A landscspe, with neither fount, flowret, nor tree.
Then wake fmm thy slumber, young hard of the valley,
For Woman thy lyre's sweetest music outpour ;
For beauty still smiles 'mid'each rose-shaded alley—
The Ladies of England ! and one smile more.
A smile, then, for NVontan—how sweet in life's morning,
Ere yet the cold world youth's warm feelings has chilled,
With her 'tis to wander, unscorned and ur.scorning,
In all that mars !lope's fairest features unskilled.
What matters it whether the land of the thistle

---
Were that of her birth, as 'twas beauty's of yore ?
For sweet is her smile where the wintry winds whistle—
The Ladies of Scotland ! and one smile more.
A smile, then, for Woman—for who, as he gazes
On Olendalough's waters, where beauty bath been,
Though green grows the shamrock 'mid noon's starry daisies,
But sighs o'er the fate of the love-lorn Cathleen ?
Bright nursling of ocean, green island of Erin,
I lore thee, all loud though thy dark billows roar ;
I love thy fair daughters, with smiles so endearing—
The ladies of Erin ! and one smile more.
A smile, then, for Woman—fur if there's a treasure
On earth worth possessing, so surely 'tis she ;
For what without her would be life"., proudest pleasure ?
A landscape, with neither fount. flowret, nor tree.
Then wake from thy slumber, young bard of the valley,
For Woman thy lyre's sweetest music outpour;
Hail shamrock and thistle, and rose.shaded alley—
The Ladies of Britain ! and one smile more.

ADJOURNED INQUEST ONI MISS CU.S'IIE.V,
(THIS DAY.,
TH I I-7MT.

The Inquest-room was crowded to excesa by halipaq ten, when the
CORONER entered, and took the Chair.

The business of the day commenced by Dr. Thompson explaining and
answering some questions put to him,—when Mr. Adolphus, in a rude
manner, interfered, and used an obnoxious expression towards Mr. T.
Mr. THolirsow demanded an apology.
Mr. ADOLPH vs said he would—" He's a wretched liar."

His words drew forth the disapprobation of the room, who displayed
strong symptoms of disapprobation at such low conduct.
Mr. ADoLritua declared that if such hooting muted again, he
should order the room to be cleared.
here the ro.e ended.
Mr. Wilderove examined by a Juror.—How long do you know Mr.
Long ?—About four years ; does not know much of him ; does not
think he studied or practised much as a doctor or apothecary ; does not
remember any particular cute ; he thinks there was one, a case of con-
sumption ; not certain of it; acquaintance but slight.
Miss Matilda Christian, of Itt•geht's.nark, examined by Mr. ADO!,
rit es.-- Do you know Mr. Long.--1 do, about two years. I was a
patient of his.
Juror.—Arc you under his care now.—No ; lam not. My coin.
plaint was consumption.
By Mr. ADocrit us.—ln what way did Dr. Long treat you.—lle
made incisions on my back, sides, chest, &c. He applied a compound
by a sponge upon the sores.
By a Juror—T was not ill when I first went to him. I was aftet wards
taken ill, and went to the Doctor's. There were other ladies there—
Rorie for consumption, and some for other causes. I believe he applied
the same remedy to all. I was entirely under his care, and don't regret It.
Question by a Juror—ln a short time I was perfectly cured, to the
satisfaction of all my friends and myself.
By a Juror—l have been under several other medical gentlemen be.
fore I applied to Long, but of no avail.
By a Juror--There arc no marks of the incisions appear on my flesh,
except when I am very cold..

By a Juror—l was advised to go to Mr. Long's by several medical
friends.

Here a desultory conversation ensued between the Jury and Mr.
A not.Putys respecting the right of Mr. Long answering questions put
to him. Mr. ADOLPHUS said he had no right whatever. Some of the
Jury contended he had—here the matter ended"
By a Juror—l would sooner go to Mr. Long's in case of illness than
to any other man. He bled me and sponged me himself; he done it
cleverly ; he perfectly cured me.
By a Juror--I have recommended several young ladies to him—all
have been cured.' I will recommend all that I can.

By a Juror—l signed a book not to reveal the process. I understand
he paid a high price for the recipe. Several of my acquaintances have
been cured by him.
Mr. ADOLPHUS commenced a very long defence of Mr. Long, in
which he laid down the law as regarding the situation of his client, and
that of a person who wilfully proceeded to extract money by unfair means!
He would clearly alleys that his client had acted honourably on all occa.
pions, regarding his practice, as a medical man—that he had completely
cured several ladies when other doctors had failed—that his sole aim and
ambition was to benefit his countrymen. Aspersions had been cast on him
—his name bandied about in the Newspapers, which arainly would do
no good, but the reverse. This, he thought, was sufficient punish.
ment. if he deserved any.
Mr. ADOLPHUS then proceeded, in a learned manner, with the de.
fence of Long. He then proceeded to call witnesses in favour of his
client, Dr. Long. The first was,
By a Juror—Did you ever visit Mr. Long ?—I did. Did he ever
visit you ?—He did, once. I have visited Mrs. Long.
By a Juror—Did Mr. Long send for you ?—1 received a note from
him, and I called on Sunday last. He requested I would attend the
inquest Did not tell me what to say when I came here. I never heard
the deceased's name mentioned at Long's I did not know her by
name.

During the examination of this :witness, the risibility of the Court
knew no bounds—the lady herself smiled most graciously—the Coroner
could not suppress the laugh. Iler examination was very long, and
very amusing.
When we left, the inquest was proceeding with ; but is expected to
finish this evening.

the melancho death of Miss Cashin affords a striking instance of ibe
truth of an adage so often applied to those who seek for medical aid

Another new Club is talked of, to be appropriated to per-

combine a patronage and cultivation of the fine arts ; the drawing.

if they choose, in elegant and literary pursuits. Probably, after all.
their mornings would be more profitably passed at home.—Herald.
