ARREST OF WEBSTER, THE PIRATE.-.-Let-
ters were received yesterday by the Mayor and
U. s. Marshal, stating that man answering
the description of Webster had been arrested
at Buffalo, and expressing a wish that some
person should be sent to identify him. Mr..
Knight the tavern keeper at Newport, who
happened still to be in the city, was according
ly despatched yesterday afternoon by the u.
S. Marshal. He will stop sufficiently long to
see the person in custody there, and proceed
thence Immediately to Buffalo.
The letter received by the Mayor stated that
the young man had been arrested by one ofthe
City Watch in the street, and that he appear
ed, when arrested, to be insane. He is rep
resented, in this letter, TO be of ford complex
ion and fair hair, which corresponds precisely
with the description given of Webster to the
Marshal Of. this district. Very little doub, is
entertained of the individual at Buffalo being
one Of the guilty actors in the dreadful tragedy
on board the Sarah Lavinia..--N. Y. Tribune.

CuINA.--A letter from Canton by the Ho-
ratio, published in the last National ln'eIiigen-
Ger states that the American merchants a. that
port are expecting with anxiety duty on teas
by our Government. Every shipper takes a
cargo expecting to get in just before duty is
laid and to sell his teas at higher prices. The
exports TO the United States during the prece-
ding nine months had been II, o00, 900 pounds:
to Great Britain, 35,000,000.
Mech solicitude is also felt for the arrival of
a Minister from the United States, to look af-
ter American interests. and take the part of a
friend aud adviser TO the Chinese Government
10 which capacity he might be greatly useful.
Complaint is made that the British Envoy is
permitted to take the " hole of the funds paid
for The satisfaction of losses by the riots 10
Canton last December. dividing it among his
own countrymen, while Americans and others
must wait future payments. So Of the funds
provided TO pay the debts of the insolvent Chi
nese Hongs, or great merchants. The writer
adds
TO these another and perhaps much more
important might be added. China, after her
late adversilies, will feel the need Of friend
among maratme powers. The United States
might be that friend. While every sugges-
ton Of British origin may be suspected and
feared, an able and intelllgen, representative
of American civilization might draw this Gov
ernmen, on, rapidly and safely, in a course o
progressive and wise amelioralion, With such
direction China can assume, in reality, the
rank she has only pretended 10. She can con-
troll the regions between the Capes; she can
pot check on colonial aggrandizement. Her
alliance may then be Of inestimable value"
Mr.. Cushing will find dazzling career
open 10 his great talents and greater ambition.

Total,

The Government has realized in ALL from
these lands about one hundred dollars Of rent.
This, however was paid by one Of these firms,
and the only one who leased 10 good faith. or
with any other design than that OF being pro-
tec,ed in swindling their neghbors. Bot even
they have come to the very wise conclusion
TO abandon lease which costs one thirteenth
OF all the mineral they raise; one sixteenth IN
mineral being the equivalent of one thirteenth

VIVA, is drawn from the picture here present.
adj No one will contend that hundred and
sixty acres of mineral land can be worked
properly by two. OF twenty men. Then it
must be sub-leased upon conditions dictated
by the lessee and, under such an arrangement
where is the motive for low or equitable rents,
where is iil Again, much of these large leases
must, unavoidably. be located upon lots de-
fined under on old and well established rule OF
claims. These claimants are not TO be driven
oil--tho sub-lessee refuses to acknowledge the
title of his mushroom landlord. In either or
both cases suit is instituted. The lessee
goes boldly into any detail Of expense. relying
upon the potency of Uncle sam, and the firm
and often repeated assurance Of the Agent that
he shall be defended without expense! Where
is the lessee that has been thus defended or
reimbursed The credulous or designing MI
ner, which ever he may be, thus learns, at an
enormous expense, what is now so generally
and well understood. system which is
no, supported by equity OF custom, is here
equally lndefensible at law.
These mines were opened in 1927, deserted
in 1929, resumed 10 1885; have received q con.
siderable acquisition to the operative force this
season. aud now number about one hundred
and forty miners. The mineral raised has

HrSRY L. MAssrE.-This gentleman, who
is in perfec, health and the active transaction
OF business, has recently been announced dead
by most of the papers throughout the country
The mistake arose mostly from the carelessness
of the majority Of people in gathering parlcu
lars in regard to an occurrence and their readi
ness TO giyeJact and partly from the follow,
ing circumstance;
Mr.. Massie was walking, on the morning Of
the 9Th of July, along path skirted with

A SMILE.

On the breast OF the billow,
The silver moon lay,
Unrufied the mirror,
Unbroken the ray;
Till the zephyr's light pinion
Swept over the stream,
And broke the repose
or the ware and the beam.
Like the beam on the billow,
Loves spirit will rest,
Pure, peaceful and holy,
In fond woman's breast:
Till passions wild breathings
Have fann'd 1t TO flame,
To illumine her pathway,
Or perish in shame.

FRoM FLoRIDA.-We have recent advices
from st. Augustine, via Savannah. General
Worth has been out on a visit TO the few Indi.
ans remaining 10 the Territory, and finds them
so humble and friendly that it will hardly be
possible for the white villains who uniformly
inlest their neighborhood TO embroil them in
another war.
The settlement Of Florida, under the armed
occupation law, is rapidly progressing. It is
believed that 200 600 acres have been already
taken up. Probably all tina, is " orth any thing
will follow. and so the Territory that has cost
the people of the United States over forty
millions ofdollars will nett them just nothing.
Well; better so than have il continue a bill Of
expense to them.
4 good many OF the People are disposed to
have the Territory divided iuIo two, which
would afford two Territorial Governments with
their respective train Of leeches on The breast
of Uncle Sam. We trGst Congress viii never
consent to this division, nor 70 any admission
Of Florida into the Union, until some decisive
steps are taken towards the payment of her
Public Deb, 50 impr0yidenlly contracted and
so infamously re2udaled. We have enough
