The Paris Gdsette des TFibnnaar publishes q
letter from Copenhagen, Of the 18th ult, which
relates the following story:
The House Of Correction, in this capital, has
just received two most distinguished guests,
viz-an African King and his Prime Minister.
In the beginning Of last year, this black Mon
arch, called Aquatimozin, placed under the
protection Of Denmark, because the country
he reigned over formed a part Of the Danish
possessions in Western Africa, invited to his
territory another King who was in Q similar
position, and there Aquatimozin and his Minis
ter assassina'ed their too confding guest
Both were aGterward arrested and cited before
the Criminal Tribunal Of the Danish Colony.
Their counsel, M. Merck, young Barrister
from Copenhagen, contended that, as regarded
the King, no responsibility could be attached
to him; his being an independent Sovereign
gave him fright to kill his enemy. This right
was acknowledged as belonging to the SOve-
relgns Of Christian and civilized Europe, and
should not, therefore, be contested in Pagan
Prince, the monarch Of country still plunged
in bHrbarity. On the part Of Kongiti (the
Prime MINISTRY the advocate maintained thai
this functionary only executed the orders 81
an absolute master, who could take away the
lives Of his servants and submit them to fright.
full tortures for the slightest disobedience to
his commands. This defence did not, howev.
or succeed with the tribunal, and the black
Monarch and his minister were sentenced Il
death.
Upon the ex-King and ex-Minister address
sing an appeal for mercy 70 the King Of Den
mark, the latter was pleased to c0mmute tn,
capital sentence into perpetual Imprisonment
IN the House Of Correction at Copenhagen, an
last week the royal prisoner and his Ministe
arrived at this capital by the corvette, the Eagl
and were finally installed in the establishment
Aquatimozin is seventy-two years Of age, ha
white hair, and is of low stature, exceedingl
thin. Kongiti, ON the contrary, is tall and re
markably stout, Thus these two men, who
year ago governed a kingdom and possesse
considerable revenue, are now obliged to wor
hard in prison for a trifing salary, which the
cannot spend without the permission of tn
Director. A%quatimOzin appears 10 be reSigne
to his fate, and works with the greatest assidl
f ity; his companion in misfortune, on the col
trary, is exceedingly lazy, and the whip is 0
tener applied to the back of his late ExcelIel
cy than to his ex.Maiesty.

FRon OaE65F. 1--WE yesterday had o CONVEX
.sdtiah win MI B Gehois5 who, with teh oih-
ets bas ast arrived il our city nom Oregon.
The parry started from Oregon city on che 18Th
Of last April, and arrived at ST. Joseph, NO.,
on the first day Of August. They pas ed over
The whole route without molsstation from the
Indian tribes, and report having met the differ
emit emigratng companies on their route. Mr.
6. says five hundred and twenty-four wagons,
destined for Oregon and California, passed them
on their way in. They me. MI. R%ussell's par
" about one hundred and fifty miles beyond
Fort Laramie, and received a brief note from
our correspondent "Laon," who states that the
company are all well, and progressing comfort
ably.
Medard G. Foisey, formerly . printer in the
Republican Office, Of this city, and who was
elected d member Of the Oregon Legislature,
had organized a company Of Canadians for q
trip 10 California, and was to start about the LET
Of last May
On perusing the treaty, which Mr.. g. read
for the first time in our Office, he refers 70 that
clause securing to the Hudson's Bay Company
The sites they have selected in our t%erritoryS 90
q most injurious portion Of the agreement for
the interests Of the people Of Oregon, because
this company are in possession Of not only me
best sites south Of 40, but, BY their immense
capital and power, oyerawe and break down
all American traders who may attempt TO com
pete with them. Il was the strongest hope Of
the emigrants from The States, that wherever
the boundary line would be established, i
would entirely divide them from the influence
Of this company.

tive, and the emigrants with few exceptions,

ORIGIN OF THE UPAs-TREE sToRY.--A real val
ley o fdeath exists in Java; it is termed the val
ley Of poison, and is filled to a considerable
height with carbonic acid gas, which is ex-
hailed from %crevices inthe ground. If man OF
any animal enter it, he cannot return; and he
is not sensible Of his danger until he feels him
self sinking under the poisonous influence Of
the atmosphere which surrounds him; the car.
bonic acid Of which it chiefly consists rising to
the height Of eighteen feet from the bottom
Of the valley. Birds which fly into this atmos,
phere drop dead; and living fowl thrown in.
tOit, dies before it reaches the bottom, whict
is strewed with the Carcasses Of various ami
mails that have persisted in the deleterious gas

decision in the case Of Cen Gaines.

The finding Of the Court Of Inquiry inthe case
Of Gen. Gaines, is published BY the War De-
partment. The Court have found
"That several Of the acts Of Brevet Major
General Gaines was not authorized by his in
structions or by law and that he has violated
orders.
"That for the calls made BY him for voluu-
teefs after the 18th Of May, when he knew Of
the victories Of (GeneraD Taylor, the Court
cannot find any necessity at the time-any au-
thority in his instructions, or any warrant Of
laws,
"That in mastering into service at Mobile,
certain general and staff officers, after he was
relieved Of his command BY instructions from
the War Department, the Court are Of opinion
that he transcribed his authority and violated
his orders"
The Court recommend to the favorable
consideration Of the President, the good and
patriotic motives, and the public zeal, by which
as the Court believe, Genernl Gaines was actu'
ated in all these transactions, and therefore
they recommend that no more proceedings b,
had in this case. The President expresses hi
decided disapProbation Of the irregular and un
authorized proceedings, but in consideration Q
the motives, and the public zeal which actua
ted the conduct Of Gen. Gaines, directs tina
further proceedings in his case be dispense
! with. The President says:
i The exercise Of authority not possesse
nor delegated-th the Inconsistencies Of in
structions, Or the expenditure Of the lput
lic treasure, not justified by imperious necess

A writer in the National In~telligencer says
that spirit Of hartshorn is certain remedy for
the bite Of mad dog. The wounds, he adds,
should be constantly bathed with il, and three
Or fur doses, diluted, taken inwardIy during
the day. The hartshorn decomposes chemical
y the virus insinuated into the wound, and inn
mediately alters and destroys It's deleteriOus-
ness. The writer, who resided in Brazil fol-
some time, first tried il for the bite Of a sccr-
pion and foundit removed pain and inflamma-
ton almost instantly. Subsequently he tried
it for the bite Of the rattIesnake with similar
success. At the suggestion Of the writer an old
friend and physician in England tried it in ca
ses Of hydrOphObia, and always with success.

Very few words ever to5k such arun, or Wsie

syllablei and however strange TIE word, i is
still more strange that not one of our lexie0-
.qraphes, from Bayley 70 Johnsons evsr attemP-
ted an explanation, or gave a derivation oft.
The reason is very obvious; il is because it has
no meaning, nor il it derived from any Ian
~Ousqein the world ever known, from the Bah
vlonish confusion to this day. When Richard
DaIy was pateutee Of the Irish Theatres he
spent the evening Of a Saturday in company
with many Of the wits and men Of fashion Of
the day. Gambling was introduced, when the
manager staked a large sum bathe would have
spoken ali through the principal streets Of Dub
lin by . certain hour next day, Sunday, . word
having no meaning, and being derived from no
known language; wagers were laid, and stakes
deposited. DAILY repaired 70 the theatre and
despatched all the servants and supernumera-
ries with the word "Quiz," which theychalked
on every door and shop-window in town.
Shops being shut all the next day, every body
coming to and going from their different Pla-
ces Of worship saw the word; and every body
repeated it, 90 that "Quiz" was heard through
Dublin. The circumstance Of 80 strange q
word being on every door and window, caused
much surprise land ever since, should astrange
story be attempted to be passed current, il
draws forth the expression, stYou are quizzing
me."-Sharpe's London Magazine.
