There is a great deal Of talk on change here, as
we'll at all other places, and much surprise
syineed in reference to the Pass by the Senate of
bill for the relief Of Nathaniel goddard and others

and sail his vessel under British colors during the
last war; for the sake Of GAIN he certainly should,

Il certainly was as fair and legitimate prize
made during the war; and II the property which
eoohsealed Is, with the accumulated interest, to
be returned by Congress, II certainly will be IN
ducemept after for all our ships to sail under
the enemy's flag, haul down the stars and stripes,
4 and run up at every masthead the cross Of 81
George. There are many here, and more Mr.
Goddards down East, anxiously waiting the pas
sage Of this bill who will then present similar
patriotic claims to patriotic Congress.
The Commercial Advertiser OF this city, in the
paper of Tuesday, took your London correspondent
"Ledyard" TO task for speaking Of the President as
"Colone Polk D" | believe you have no London
correspondent who makes Of that signature; and
If the Commercial refers TO me, he certainly is mis-
taken. The writer OF this never, since his election
to the presidency, applied the military title Of "Col
. onelr TO Mr.. Folks name The Commercial will
please to correct this. The truth is, the writer Of
this abhors all titles. To write ESQUIRE is difficult
enough but when you come to honorable or "your
excelency," my pen refuses to move. As man
cannot be exalted higher than president Of the
United States, the prefix Of "your excellency" de-
tracts from, instead Of adding to, the dignity Of the
Office What more grand than the title Of "PRES-
IDENT," as applied to the chief officer Of the
Union What more dignihed than that of "sEN.
AToR," or more appropriate than that of"Gov-
ERN0R,n An these prefxes, which are but the
mere spipgs Of foreign courts and Of titled arsto
Gratis, should be entirely avoided by republicans.
Let us all attend to il.
!, The Staten Island mystery, in which Catho-
lie priest, deserted wife, an absconding husband
and beautiful young lady are implicated is the
subject of much speculation, surmse, 'inuendoes
&C., &c. As the whole matter is undergoing legal
investigation, it is unnecessary to make any other
reference to it here. II appears, however, that this
priest, lldefonso Medrsno, had been suspended
by Bishop Hughes some time since for some ir-
regular conduct These mysterious affairs
|, of so frequent occurrence here, they elicit
remark for day and are forgotten. There is, how
ever, very serious and heart-rendng affair
now under investigation by the mayor and chief of
police. II is a charge brought against the notorious
Madam Reste for the abduction Of All infant child
Of Mary APPLICABLE, who, il appears by her affida-
Wit sworn TO before the Mayor, sent to this city
from Philadelphia by Augustus Edwards, broker
of that city, and placed under the of this Reste
She was on the th December, delivered ola child,
which, on the third day, was removed from her,
and she has not up to the present tme been able
discover it's whereabouts. Mary appears to be an
intelligent girl, possessed Of much feeling, and evi-
IDENTIFY the dupe of one far less conscientious than
herself. Her story is Il simple one of unmitigated
and hear,less deception; and the restoration Of her
child seems to be the only hope lef for this evident
ly much-wrongcd and heart.broken victim.
You have heard much Of the Brocchieri water as
an extraordinary styptic. There is great diversity
of opinion here among the medical faculty in refer
ence to it's powers; and several experiments have
been made upon sheep, but the carotid of no "hu-
man" has as yet been cut, that am aware Of, on
which to try the application. The poor sheep alone
have to suffer; and they-if we are to believe the
becvers-Iike the fun vastly, apparently agreeably
surprised to find that when their threats are cut,
they are not skinned Also The following account,
which find in the News detailing the particulars of
the last experiment, give entire, as Il must prove
interesting to your numerous readers
"ANoTHER ExrERiMENT WITH THE BRoccHERr

many other persons of distinction in the scientific
