CoLoRED ORPHAN AsYLUM.-Our attention has
been called 70 this Asylum, which has received
| we fear as much attention from our citizens It's
philanthropic purpose deserves. The first effort
to fouHd such an Orphan Asylum for coored child
ren was commenced about six years ago. The
plan originated in the Society Of Friends, but has
been prosecuted by Board of Managers, includ-
ing representatives OF all the leading denomina-
tion. Of Christians. Such an Institution
though. to be especially needed, because these
children, although the most wretched of orphans,
were virtually excluded from all the existing Or
phan Asylums, and were no; even allowed to par
take of the advantages of the excellent arrange
nents at Long Island Farms. Their only place OF
refuge was the Aims House at Bellevue, where
co!ored children are mingled with the adult in
mates, exposed in consequence 10 very corrupting
Influences, and imperfcctly furnished with the
means for any Kind of instruction The Managers,
after several years acquaintance with much more
of the misery of our destitute colored population
than il has been in their power to relieve, have
been finally enabled to commence the erection of
new building on the Fifth Avenue near the Gro
ton Reservoir Twenty lots of ground were ap-
propriated for the purpose by the Corporation OF
The City, and private subscriptions to consider
able amount have bean received for the same OBJ
ject.
1t is proper to add that the Coorod Orphan
Asylum has connection whatever with any Ar
,i-Slavery Or Colonization Society. The Sixth An
nversary Meeting of the Society will be held at
the Lyceum of Natural History this evening, aud
Addresses may be expected from Chancellor FIRE.
LlNGHuYsEN, and Dr.. J. McCUSE Smith, very
we'll educated and meritorious colored man. We
commend this worthy charity to the attention of
our friends throughout the City.

The melancholy duty devoves upon me of an

THIS Officer was assassinated on Friday evening,
the 28th inst. about ii O'clock, in the town OF

This foul and cruel murder has been committed
without any known provocetion, and its very wan
has increased the deep distress felt for his
loss by his numerous and warmly attacked friends
and messmaIes.
Every exertion is being made by the civil
,horities; but trace has yet been discovered of
the pcrpetrator of the horrid deed.
The deceased received three stabs with knife
in the left breast, of which pierced his heart,
causing instant death. His mortal remains were
inferred this morning at the American burial

FROM HAvANA.-The New-Orleans Tropic con-
tains accounts from Havana OF trouble there
Some time since, the Haytiens fitted out an armed
vessel and put into Perto Rico, contrary to the terms
of their treaty with European Powers. the vessel
was seized, and the Haytiens fitted out corvette,
and, in revenge, seized several Spanish merchant
men. The Government of Havana have now fitted
out utseveral vessels again,tSt Domingo. The cor
respondent of the Tropic adds:
The force of the squadron will be 80 gun
frigate, four brigs of from lS to % guns, two
steamers with carrenadcs and 6S Paixhaa
each, and several schoorers. The only force pos
