HER BROTHER. Alexander Wilson attempted
to shoot his sister, Caroline E. Wilson, a young
lady, about Is years of age, in New York, on

Of the highest responsibility, are in the city on
visit from the South; that in consequence of
the refusal on the part of Miss Wilson to give
her brother control over certain property be-
longing to her, situated in Louisiana, series of
alterations have taken place between them,
engendering considerable Il-teeling on the
part of the brother, who took occasion as she
was proceeding TO the breakfast table Of the CT
ty Hotel, leaning on the arm of her cousin, to
discharge one barrel of revolving pistol at
her, which, however, fortunately did not take
effect; whereupon, he made another attempt,
which also was unsuccessful, the cap only e%.

LATER FROM KINGSTON. The New Orleans
Picayune says
! The schooner Vclasco, Capt. Tew, arrived

The Kingston editors are in great distress of
mind at learning by the officers Of the British
brig of war Daring, from Havana, that the Cal
fornias had declared their independence, and
that the American commodore had landed and
planted the American standard. They have
got hold of the same rumor we had here some
weeks since from Havana and giving it full
credence, are extremely indignant They an
ticlpate collision betwenn the English and
| American squadrons SO soon as Admiral Sey-
mour should return from the South whittier
they say he had proceeded for reintorcemcnts.

father of Lieut.. Morris, accepted the tribute on
the part of his son, and Lieut. Afford acted for
Capt. Hawkins. The ceremony was through
out very interesting, and nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure Of the occasion in the slight
est degree.
