Steamboat NdoigatiOn from Buffalo TO
Nete Orledns.-rhis sounds well; but will
it ever be possible for traveller to step a.
board steamboat at Buffalo a nd enjoy an
uninterrupted passage 10 New Orleans, the
Gulf of Mexico, the West Indies, and the
Atlantic Ocean? Verify, in year or two
he may enjoy hat privilege, and the mer-
chants of Detroit may have direct COM
merce. without transhipment, with Cuba
and Jamaica. Illinois is preparing the way
at an estimated expense of SO, 100000, by
constructing the Ilin0is and Michigan Ca
nal--a "big ditch" sixty feet wide at the
bottom--beginning at the Chicago river and
terminating at the head Of steamboat navi-
cation on the Illinois river. 1t is supposed
that great work will be nearly paid for by
the alternate sections of land each side of
the canal, granted for the purpose by the gov
eminent of the U. States.

The WebSter Riu."-We copy the
following paragraph from the Worchester
Palladium:
"Bennetl Of the New York Herald, states
as fact within his knowledge, that the mer-
chants have raised by subscription, $685.
900, and given it 10 Mr.. Webster; S45, 900
10 enable him 10 pay his debts, and 100000
for pocket money for his voyage. If such
be not the fact, it ought at once 10 be shown;
lol money thus given can be regarded in
no other light by the community Than as
bribe 10 constitute the recipient the advocate,
on all occasions in Congress or out, of the
particular interests Of the class whose lib
eralily is exhibited. If Mr.. Webster has
been thus feed, he cannot hereafter take a
seat in Congress as an independent states
man, free TO sustain any question that may
be anlagonistical TO the wishes of merchants.
Dan. O'COnnel draws so freely on the lib

in England he is called " the great 6eggar

Strange If true.-A correspondent in
forms us that in the midst of the dreadful
storm of plough Monday, a chimney fell
through the roof of house in Monkmouth,
and lodged on the floor of bedroom, in
which bed-ridden old woman, deemed by
the faculty incurable, had lain for the last
twelve years. The poor creature as if gall
vanished by the shock, sprang to her legs
and rushed down the stairs like a lamplight-
er, and l(adds our informant she has con
tinued to this time in the enjoyment OF
good health !-Gatesheod (Eng. J OBS.

The following letter has been furnished
TO the editors of the Philadelphia Pennsyl-
OF THE PIRATE MAR
SUAD, AT BORDEAUX.
" BORDEAUX, March "a, 1880.

"Captain Marsaud, who murdered the
captain and part of the crew, and took com
mand of the Friendship Alexandra, (which
vessel was seized at Newport, Rhode Isl
and, some time since, and sent under the
command Of an officer from on board a
French man-of-war to Bordeaux has been
tried, found guilty, and executed at Borde-
aux Tor the above crimes. A young man,
his second officer, has also been tried and
found guilty, but on account of his age has
been recommended to mercy. The execu-
ton OF Mausaud took place three hours af.
ter the passing Of his sentence. Before his
death he made full confession of all his
crimes. He said that seven men were
thrown overheard by his order, and that the
mate OF the ship implorngly begged of hlm
only one half hours Time, in order that
he might write to and take last farewell
Of his mother, and offered him (Marsuad)
the sum of 10000 francs for said half
hour, but that he numerically denied it TO
him.
" 1t is very much wondered at in Bor-
deaux why it was that the French authori
ties in the United States experienced So
much difficulty from the American magis
trates IN having such monster given up
1t is also stated that four of the piraiica
crew who had hand in the above mutiny
and murders are still in the United States
and that all the entrealies Of the comman
der OF the French man-of-war Berger
up"

,At6a1ly ElectiOn.-The charter elections
took place at Albany on Tuesday. The
party which has hitherto had the ascendan-
cy prevailed, but by diminished majority.
The Albany Argus has the following com
parlson of the present result with The re-
suits Of the two last election:
" Last spring the Federal majority in the
city was COB, and last fall 640; it is now on
ly 32l, showing a Democratic gain of
32S since last ,fdN.
-" When 1t is recollected what the Repub-
llcans have had to encounter; sweeping CO.
lonIzation from the adjacent towns; the ap-
preparation oil the aims house and the po-
lice officers to these and other shameful e.
lection frauds; and the lavish means and
great exertlons of the Federalisls, in pos
session of the entire corporation power and
facilities, ,and welding them without scruple,
we only wonder that, by spontaneous rail-
ly at the polls, and avoiding the corrupt
practices of their opponents, they have so
nearly driven them 10 the wall No man
can doubt that had the law to preserve the
purity Of elections passed one day sooner,
a very different result would have been seen
in at least two of the wards, the I'd and 4lh,
and that the Democracy of the city would
have held, at this moment; majority Of the
Common council"

Extraordinary Defence Of Bigamy.-
At the Tyrone assizes, man named Hen
ry O'Neill was tried for bigamy, and, in his
defence, called as a witness his second wife
TO prove that she had bought him from the
first wife, and had paid her 81. for her hus-
band, being one pound more than she ask
ed. This witness said that the first wife
had told her that she had bought the prs-
ener with her fathers money, and that she
had, therefore, as much right TO sell him as
a COW OF pig. The prisoner, on this,
seemed TO feel that he had made out COM
plete case. The jury, however, on being
charged by the judge, Immediately found him
guilty, and, to his dismay and horror, his
Lordship sentenced him to seven years traEs-
portation.
