says, :" An unfortunate occurrence took
place yesterday morning in the Fauxbourg ST.
Mari. An officer Of the Y. 5. army in the al
tempt TO arrest deserter from the service,
fred upon and killed him. We are not ID
possession of tue facts which occasioned this
event, and even if we were, we are not the
tribunal TO Judge of them. But we must say.
that the conduct of party Of minimizing in
divIduals was well nigh causing serious u
mutt, which might have. endangered the lives
OF many individuals. "
A considerable sensation of late has been
created BY the CONDUCT of The Comm .nding

TO be shot, wit bout being brought "a trial.
We hope on an Investigation this will not prove
TO be the case al New Orleans.

A profitable Hipc.-Mr. Edward Brow
of this city took up bee hive a few day.
ago, of uncommon dimensions, which
weighed 383 pounds. About so pouub
should be deducted for the weight Of DE
hive, leaving by computation, 300 pouah
of fine white honey.
The process which Mr.. Brown adopId
to obtain SO great product, was this
two years ago, he placed common hiTs
Of bees upon the large one which he hos
DOW taken up, leaving hole 10 the tCpd
the latter for communication betVtd
the two. The small hive was soon filled
with honey, and the bees passed frel
thence into the large hive, where thel
commenced their labors. The small hiV
was removed year ago, and yieldedS
pounds of honey, and the hole closed

"My principal reason for addressing
you by this opportunity, is the report
prevailing here this day, of some war gu
the part Of this country being in contem-
plation, and most probably witt, the Uni
ted States, which trust for yonr. sake,
will prove quite false. Improbable as
such an event may at first appear, it be-
comes less SO when coolly considered,
with all the concurrent circumstances of
the times. This country cannot permit
Spain TO ratify the Treaty of the cession
of the Floridas to the u. States this
must involve Spain 10 war with the
Union; she cannot defend her still re.
naming transatlantic possessions against
America; therefore England must do it
for her. Moreover it is argued, and
plausibly SO / think, by many among us,
that not only England, but any continental
powers are bent upon supporting Spain
against America; besides which, they
deem it polite TO check in time, the
rapidly growing Colossus Of Northern
America, showing plainly an unlimited
ambition after extension of territory, such
as i crowned with success, may prove
dangerous to other European powers be-
sides England. Another reason 10 sup.
