The account Of murder near Ogdensburg,
N. Y. published in our last, turns out to be a
sheer fabrication. 1t originated in the Post, a
paper published at Salem, Washington county,
New York. We are curious to know what
excuse the editor can offer, for sporting with
the feelings of the community by the publica.
ton of such report, without strong evidence
of its truth.

Canals.-There are in Great-Britain
and Ireland 1OS canals, of which 81 be-
long to England, to Scotland, and one
to ireland. In this number none are in
cluded which are not more than miles
long. The total extent Of these canals
is 1852 IA mile, of which 2471 are in
England, l49 ga in Scotland, and SO
1-2 in Ireland. Thirty millions sterling
is the valuation Of the cost. The stock
Of some of these rose in few years to
10 or 20 times its original value. These
various canals present 48 subterranean
passages, 40 of which have an extent Of
about 50 English miles. None of these
works, important as they are, were pro-
jected prior to 1855. The patriotic and
enlightened zeal of the Duke of Bridge
water,and the talents of Briudley, gave
the first decisive impulse 10 their i'm.
provements in 1859. There is now
scarcely point of importance in En-
gland, that has not water communica.
ton with every other.

Reminiscence.-The Cincinnati, Ohio,
National Crisis, says, ave are told
there is an old gentleman in this place,
who assisted in the destruction of the
Tea in Boston harbor, in 1773.' Hith-
erto, the names of those intrepid men
who assisted in the patriotic act, have
been concealed, and a late eloquent
writer, Mr.. Tudor, in bis life of James
Otis, admits there was but little hope,
that they would ever be known to the
world. The injunction Of secresy, how
ever, appears now 10 be removed, and
the few survivors Of that devoted CON-
pany may avow themselves. For the
information Of our eastern brethren, we
will mention that Mr.. Joshua Wyeth, a
native of Cambridge, Massachusetts,, is
the person to whom we allude. He is
now upwards of seventy, enjoys good
health, and sustains a very fair reputa-
ton, for his industry and morality"

coast of Japan. he touched at Atooi,
one of the Sandwich Islands, about the

landed at that island, and Immediately
deposited in the house Of Billy Pitt,

thereupon strictly "iabu'd." After haN-
ing duly lain in state, the funeral was
solemnized in the European style-a
long and splendid procession was
formed, consisting Of Europeans, Anne
ricans and natives. who attended the boz
DIV to the nlace Of sepulchre. For the
first time, the natives were prohibited
bv their chiefs from exhibiting the Gus
,omary evidences of grief on such occa-
sions. Of this regulation the natives
complained sadly-saying, that if they
were not to be permitted to cry" or
utter audible lamentations, their late
King might as well have been buried
in England. Many European customs
had also been introduced, through the
influence Of Lord Byron, and those
chiefs who had visited England. a
mong the new laws, was one allowing
TO every native the privilege OF pro-

EARTHQUAKE AT TRINIDAD.

Captain Arnold arrived at Newport,
reports that a violent Earthquake was
experienced at Trinidad, on the 26th
September at O'Clock at night, and
that scarcely house escaped without
some damage. The houses are Of
stone, and though none OF them were
demolished, yet some Of them were SO
rent and split that it would be necessa-
ry to pull them down. The Earth
quake was said to be as violent as that
experienced at Caracas several years
since. Capt. A. thinks one more shock
would have demolished the town.
Happily no lives were lost, although
several accidents occurred. No da-
mage happened to the shipping-Mar-
ket dull for American produce, gene

From The London John Bull.

MT. MEAN, wrecked In neaith ana
fortune, his spirits broken and his .em-
per soured, is acting for little, pre-
yious to his departure for America;
his lady, 10 whom, like another Samp-
son, he he'd trusted all his strength In
the shape of a power of attorney, hav-
ing drawn out Of Coutts's hands, ba-
lance of four thousand some hundred
pounds, has retired Herewith to the
Businesses Of Butte: and the once idol
lied Roscius of the Coal-hole is quit
ting his native land, as he says, and we
believe, forever.
Mr.. KEAN never was favorite actor
of ours; we have said so over and over
again; but MIR. Kean must have had a
certain degree of merit to have main
tanned the place he held in the thespian
world. Mr.. Kean acts as well now,
as he did ten years since; and Mr.. Kean
is absolutely driven out of the country
by want Of supper, and patronage
The strange part Of the thing is this:
He and many other persons attribute
his fall to the part he played about Mrs.
Cox! But that it is not attributable to
any such cause is the truth; because
long before the announcement Of that
highly credit 4ble affair, he was acting
a, reduced prices at Drury lane, to emp
" benches. We cannot, indeed, bring
ourselves to believe, that indignation
even TO destruction, should await Mr.
Kean for conduct less offensive to pub
lie morality than that which we have
seen patronised and supported in anoth
er case; and we verify believe, however
OPPORTUNITY the affair of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cox terminated to justify the total de-
cadence of Mr.. Kean's popularity, upon
the score of fine feeling, that the bub-
BILE had already burst, and that the
world, we mean the world of Russell
court and Row street, had awakened
TO the true sense of Mr.. kean's acting
His proceedings at Manchester, how
ever, as derailed in a provincial paper,
are extremely curious, as the last &C is
Of the departing favourite. We con-
fess that the description of his conduct
gives US very disagreeable suspicion
as to the state of his mind; not that we
should be surprised at amy alteration un-
der which he might labor Absurd as
was his elevation IN the profession, his
fail is still more fanoiful, and nothing
ought to impress the minds of the &C
tors more deeply than his case with
the real nature of the tenure of their
professional existence. If any man
reading Whitbread's puffs of Kean, in
all the papers, ten years since, seeing
him presented with cups, medals,
swords, hats, wigs, spurs, corks, hare's
feet, and every different appurtenance
Of his calling, by admirers aud vene.
rating lovers Of the arts and the drama,
had suggested that this idol should, in
eight or ten years, drag his deceased
body into transatlantic exile, in abso-
lutte poverty, neglected by the town,
and not engaged in the theatres, he
would not have been believed; and,
least of all, would Kean himself have
credited such prophecy. But so it
is, and such is the fckleness of fashion.

The Legislature of Tennessee, now in ses,

The Legislature of Tennessee, now IN ses-
sion, has passed bill giving the, builder Of a
house, lien on the property until the work IS
paid for. So just and polite an act reflects
no little credit upon that vigilant body, A
resolution to inquire into the expediency OF
prohibiting free people ofcolor from voting at
elections, and OF taxing them higher than at
presen,, is under consideration. To this we
have no objections; but the resolution further
proposes, TO examine the power OF the Legs
lab,re to cause the removal ofsuch persons out
of the State, with view, ofcourse, to the ex.
.rcise of the power,should it be found to exist.
How can such measure be just either in its
operation upon those whose liberty it threat
ems. or upon the more philanthroPic States,
whose laws admit the prescribed, notwith.

evil, To throw strong hgbtupon the subject

The Albany papers inform us, that the
Court have delivered an opinion in the case OF
Tayloe for killing Crandall, refusing to admit
the prisoner to bail. The Judges delivered
their opinions separately, and agreed that if it
had been doubtful whether or not the prison.
er was guilty of manslaughter, he might have
been bailed; but they took sp ecial care to men
ton that the testimony before them was testi-
mony taken on one side only; to wit, on the
part of the prosecution; Il at the prisoners
counsel had no opportunity to cross-eNamine
the witnesses, nor to adduce additional testi-
mony in his exculpation, and therefore it
would be extremely unfair to let their deci-
sion on this application prejudice his de-
fence.
