FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

There is nothing of great interest in the foreign
news The United States Steam Frigate, Mis-
souri, which was carrying out Mr.. Gushing, the
Minister to China, was destroyed by fire on the
ninth of September, while at anchor in Gibralter
Bay. Mr.. Gushing was not in the vessel when it
took fire. Every effort was made both by the
crew and the British vessels to save her. but they
were of no avail. Nearly every thing valuable
on board was lost. 1t is not ascertaned how the
fire originated. The British papers pay high
compliment to the conduct of the seamen of the
Missouri during the progress of the fire.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.

We would call the attention of the Democrats
of the counties composing the fifth Congresslon-
al District, to the fact that as yet no place or time
has been fixed for holding District Convention
1t is necessary that place should be fixed upon
Some of the counties have held meetings without
expressing preference for one place over another
while two places have been named by two differ
inino the matter now, is, that Johnston and Wake,
the 0nIy two counties which have TO act, shall at
their meetings fix upon the time and the place.
And thew should act forthwith, that the result may
be known over the District

WHIG CONSISTENCY I'm 1910, the Democrats
had no more bitter jealous enemy than Capt.
Stockton, of the Navy. Although in the receipt of
pay from the Government. the Wings thought it
pe1frcrIy right, that he should play the political
gladiator, and strike, right and left, at the Demo
cratic administration. No1, it seems, the Captain
has changed his tune, is opposing the Wings, and
striving to promote Mr.. TyleI's success, by speak
ing to Tyler conventions in New Jersey. This is
grossly wrong because the Captain is no longer a
Uhig! The broad mantle of Whiggery covers
a multitude of sinsT However grievoLs the of
fence, let it be but committed to aid the Wing
cause, it is all consecrated. Let the very same
thing happen to defeat the Wings, it is "Rat burg
larry" These Wings are indeed paragons of con-
sistency!-Rich. Eng.

ARascalLy COntrir0mce.-A fellow was arres-
ted and examined at the police Office few days
since on a charge of pocketpicking. He had a
beautiful ring on of his fingers, which attract
ed considerable attention A nearer inspection
proved it to be something more than d ring. On
pressing a spring neatl " fixed" upon the inner
rim of the ring SMALL keen, cresentshaped blade,
nearly half an inch in length, made its appear
ance. We can conceive of no contrivance better
calculated to aid the pick pocket in his peculiar
vocation than this With common care and lib
eral share of adroltness, he can cut pockets with
great facility, nor expose himself to much danger
in the operation. Citizen.
