FR6M HAyrt-Capt. Mann, Of tho brig
Mohlcan, eighteen days from Port an Prince,
al Now York, report that when he left intel.
%ligencs had been received that a revolt had
broken out at Aux Cages. The rebels were
headed by one calling himself king Solo
mon The First" and their numbers were said
to be two thousand. The National Guards
and all The citizens Of Port al Prince capable
Of bearing arms, were ordered TO prepare for
immediate march, to assist in subdping the
rebels, and were waiting for the return Of
Gen. Rivera, who was at the north OF The
Island, quelling an insurrectlofi caused by the
Spaniards. The patriots at Aux Cages were
under the command Of Gen. Lazara.
On the ninth Of August a battle was fought
near Aux Cages. which resulted in the defeat
OF the rebels. who had one hundred and five
Killed, and d large number wounded. The pat
riotism Of Gen. Laraza was questioned by the
mulattoes, he being black, but If he should
prove true TO the cause Of the Patriots, the
rebels would undoubtedly be obliged to cap
ituiate.
The cause Of tho instruction was q jeal-
ousy existing on the part Of the blacks, occa-
stoned by the faet, that the mulaitoes filed
all the most conspicuous Offices of govern
ment, while the blacks were obliged 10 be
content with inferior grades.
Up TO tho hour Of the briggs sailing, no
further adyices had been received From Aux
Cages, and Gen. Rivera had not arrived from
Port All Prince, but was hourly expected All
was quiet there at the time Of sailing.

IMPORTANT pEcIs1oN.-We learn from the
journal, that on the 10Th nlt., the
chaneeIlorsof Kentucky, the Honorable Geo.
M. Bib, decided thes great case Of HUH ys.
the Banked the u. States.
Bysa statute of Kentucky, wheDever.a debt
or makes a fraudulent disposition OF his pro-
pertv, his creditor may file a bill in chancery
and attach, whether his debt be due or not.
Under that statute, Louis Huth filed his bill
in chaneery and attached for about $4,000
bends maturing ID the year lS47.
The attachment was made upon the allega-
ton that the bank had made a fraudulent as
sienment of its property, and the bill attached
especialIy the deed Of trust made at PhIladel-
phia, on the 9th of June, 1871, to Bacon, Sy-
mineton 81 Robins.
This case was recently argued, and the
chancellor decided the deed to be void, and
that the plaintiffs attachment was well and
properly sued out.
The counsel for the defendants Immediate
" ordered a writ of error TO the the Court Of
Appeals.
Mr.. John Foster, of Danvers, was bit.
by a rattIesnake on Tuesday even.

Mr.. Foster, who is an eccentric individ-

field road, had captured the snake q short
time previous and taken it to his domiciI,
for the purpose, as he says, obtaining it.
He placed It'll a barrel in bis room, where
he kept it securely for a few days preyi-
ously to being bitten, when by some
means it contrived to make its escape.
Mr.. Foster searched his premises tho
roughly. as he thought, but made ne diseoys
cry efthe whereabouts of his snakesbip
until Tuesday ewing. On that evening,
about ten o'clock, he went into his domi-
ell to retire for the night, when searching

on Saturday the first trial of a new steamer
called the Dana, built orsthe corporation Of
Riga, a fortified town of Russia, on the Dwina

place in the Russian empire, took place in
the river. The new steamer is intended to
trade between Siga and sonc Of the adjacent
ports. She is a very strong timber built ves-

properly speaking, ice-cutter TO cut the ice
in winter season. She was built at the yard
of Mcssrs. Curling and Young, in Lirnehouse.
Perhaps a stronger vessel was never built,
but great strength is required for navigating
