to whether the Court had jurisdiction within the place
where the collision occurred Upon inquiry from his

INcrvpIARrEs AND PIcKpocKETs-Thc recent exs
traordinary attempts TO fire this city in thirteen
| places in one night, is a fact that should arouse
the vigilance not only ofthe police, but of the citi-
zens generally. The most untring watchfnlness is
absolutely necessary, for the protection of life and
property. II is well ascertained fact, that
New York, which IS the greatest and most -four
ishng city in this country, and one of the greatest
commercial marts in the world, is the rendezvous
Of thieves, pickpockets, burglars, blacklegs incen-
diaries, counterieiters cut-throats and villains OF
every description, from every quarter of the civil
lied world. These characters flock TO this city in
the spring OF the year, with view to carry ON
their trades AT the races, religious anniversaries,
and other gatherings Of the people. Meanwhile,
IN order to keep themselves in practice, they
prowl about the streets in the darkness of the
night; and when they cannot obtain plumber by ca
ser means, they set fire to the houses which they
wish TO rob, in order, amid tho confusion, to COM
NIT their dcpredations 1t behooves, therefore, not
only the police to exercise all their vigilance to
defeat these schemes Of incendierism and vii
lany, but all our citizens should unite, and lend
their aid for the prevention Of crime, and the
detection of these midnight scoundrels. The
authorities should require no other urging than
the extraordinary fact that we have mentioned, of
the city having been fired in thirteen places in
one night, to make them increase the police force,
and to exact from their servants the utmost dill
gence in the discharge of their duty But
upon all, we recommend to our citizens
the exercise of unccasing vigilance. Our steam
boat landings swarm with English pickpockets,
whose proficiency in the art is proverbial, and
who dress in a style Of elegance and fashion, in
order to throw their victims off their guard. AS
for backlegs, one jostles you every corner, and
the purieus of the Hook and the Five Points
tccm with the lower order OF criminals Against
the skilfnlly contrived deprcdatons Of this swarm
OF miscreants, the only safeguard, rs we said be-
fore, is untiring caution.

lthas been shown that wo-thirds of the reve-
nue. under the tariff Of l842, was derived from
six articles Of import, TO wit: iron, wooen, sugar,
molasses, spirits, and cotons. Of S30,00O,OOO
received by the tariff, S2O,OOO,OOO accrued from
the above named articles. Their gross value was
s59,00O,0O0. Under the reduction made by the
new bill, il will be necessary to import Sl9,0O0,-
600 more of foreign goods, to raise this amount.
This must Of necessity be paid for in gold and sill

LETTER FROM SANTA ANNA.

The following, which we find in the New York
Herald, will serve to give some idea Of the course
which Santa Anna islikelyt Opursueif he should,
as il is supposed he will if he has not already
done so, return 10 his country:
EXTRACT PROM LETTER OF SANTA ANNA
Should the fortress Of San Juan d'Ulloa second
the many calls upon me from other portions of
Mexico, will be deemed decided evidence that
my country is convinced that, in banishing, great
Injustice has been done to me. SO direct a mode
of announcing my innocence Of having shaped
my public course in no instance, except in the
way believed most conducive TO the good of the
republic, must occasion me 70 feel it obligatory
upon me 10 obey with earnest affection the wishes
of the nation; and ! will Immediately proceed
from this to the post in question. As, however,
It has not been my desire TO interfere with the
measures of the present administrator of my
counry's desiinies, twill not be expected Of me
to enter Mexico unless have the cOuntenance
and support of the gallant soldiery and citizens
of the fortress and city of Vera Cruz.
General Paredes was instrumental in supplant-
ing my own government with that of Herrera; his
having himself, subsequently, suppIanted the gov.
crnment which overthrew mine, is proof, on his
part, that he also did me injustice; and, inasmuch
as am aware of the existing for whom
soever is in power to consider it, by virtue of the
oath of office, obligatory upon him to uphold his
position, shall deem the measures which Gene
raj Paredes may consider requisite to avert my
return, as in no way personal towards myself, but
as acts, which, by law, he is called upon to per.
form, in order 10 sustain il. | shall not, there
fore, deem General Porcdes my enemy. Ny
wishes are for the prosperity of my country.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT,

accident on the Ncw NOrk and Erie Railroad.
Friday morning the train from Middletown for
New York was thrown off the track near Mon.
roe village, by the breakage of car wheel, and
two passengers killed, and thirty others seriously
injured. Some 70 or 80 were more or less huri.
The cars had a pic mic party on board on their
way to lloboken, which accounts for the number
on board. The names of the injured are not
gven.-Bu6alO Com.
From the New York Tribune of Saturday, we
have the following additional intelligence:
"The whole train was shivcred and broken I'm.
but the passengers in the rear cars (among whom
were the pupils ofa young lady's school at Mid
dletown on their way to a pic mic at Hoboken)
escaped with slight injuries. In the foremost
cars, however, two persons were killed outright,
and above fifty injured several of them seriously,
but we hope none fatally. The two killed were
a son of DR.. Crane of Goshen, and Charles Ste.
vens of New York"

SENATOR HAYWOOD.

The resignation Of the Hon. W. II. HAYWOOD,
of North Carolina, has been made the occasion
Of one Of those violent bursts Of fury and insane
passion, which have lately characterized the col
umns of the ''great lrhipper-iH." That excel.
lent and independent man is denounced by Faith
er Richie, of the Union, as 'aH aposiaie and de-
sertcr," as "bciragHg his Staie,' as ..finrhing
from his duty" &c, and all this simply because
he chose TO sacrifice his office and his future po-
ltical aspirations in the Democratic party, rather
than violate his own conscience, betray the in
forests Of his country and submit 10 Executive
dictaton. The National lntelligencer saws Mr..
llaywood's private character is unblemished and
lair, and even exemplary, and that he has hither-
to been in habits of most friendly and familiar
intercourse with the Executive and the Admins
iraIion. But nothing can shield a man from the
fierce assaults of the Executive Organ, when he
chooses to act independent of party. The Intel.
ligencer gives the following history of Mr.. Hay
woods appointment, with some reflections on
the probable reasons which influenced him to re-
sign his office:
ale was elected to the Senate in the close of
the year 1912, when, the faing-oul between the
acting President and the Wing parry having for
a time distracted aud disheartened the Whigs
Of North Carolina, the Democratic party obtain
ed casual majority in the Legislature Of his
State. The political power of the Slate let it be
remembered, is Hol0 in the hands of the Wings,
and Mr. Haywood would, in the case of the new
tariff bill, had he voted in favor of it, have voted
againt the known sentiment of his State. Had
he, on the other hand, voted against it, in order
TO conform to that sentiment he would have vot-
led, against the prevailing opinion in his
party. 1t is, therefore, not merely charitable,
but we believe ready just Interpretation Of his
course, that he resigned his seat rather than vio-
late his conscience on the one hand, or on the
other his obligation to his party"

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATIoN.

Weare panied to announce the destruction by
fire of nearly the whole village of Providence,
in this county. On the morning of the 18th,
about 2 O'Clock A. NJ, the packet Erie came
through the village, which was then nearly all
on fire, and it was not without difficulty that it
could be preseryed-the fire falling upon it in
showers. The particulars have not yet reached
us. All we know is that all the buildings, tav-
erns, stores and dwellings, on the bank, that were
near to each other, were burncd.-The fire is
understood to have originated in the store of G.
B. Abel, Esq.
Providence is situated 33 miles up the canal,
at the head of the great rapids of the Maumee
river, and where the last canal feeder towards
the lake is taken out.-T0ledo (O.0 Blade.

with New Orleans dates of Saturday the I8lh.-
An extra issued by the Jcffcrsonian announces

Gen. Parcdcs had demanded of the Mexican Con-

command Of the army in person; Gen. Bravo to
act as President in place of Paredcs. Gen. Ro-

MORE VIOLENGE

OF the white, the overseer of Col. Walnut. rich
planter, was found murdered in the fied-hoving
received two stabs in the back, and wound in
the hinder part of the head. William, a slave.
was charged with the crime, and tried at the ens.
ing Circuit Court, which came on in the fall
The Jury did not agree. He was remanded to
Jail, to await his trial at the spring term-it came
on, and he was found guilty of murder in the first
degree. His counsel, who had been empoved
by his master to make the best defence for him Of
which they were capable, moved for new trial.
and obtained it on the ground, that, as the over.
seer was killed in fight, it could not be murder
in the first degree, but was only manslaughter.-
He was again sent back to prison. 1t was said
he would evade the punishment of death, if he
did not escape altogether, and to put the matter
beyond doubt, mob resolved to take his execu
ton into their own hands, and the negro was ta-
ken out of Jail by force, and hung.
The excuse is, that the public safety required
this fearful course. Whether this will be heard
at the bar of God, these men will know from
fearful reribution hereafter Cincinnati Gazette.

PAIxHAN GUNs.-lt is not perhaps generally
known that this description of artillery, which
bears the name Of French General, is in fact the
invention of an American officer, Col. Bomford.
In a note to Lieut.. Halleck's work on Military
Art and Science, just published by Appleton &
Co., page 28O) the case is thus stated:
"Those pieces (Paixhan guns, or Coumbads)
were first invented by Colonel Bomford, of the
United States army, and used in the war of 1919.
The dimensions Of these guns were first taken to
Europe bya young French officer, and thus fell
into the hands of Gen. Paixhan who immediate
ly introduced them into the French SERVICE
They We're by this means irstmade known to the
rest of Europe, and received the name of the
person who introduced them into the European
service, rather than the name of tho original in
ventor. All these facts are so fully susceptible
of proof, that the Europeans now acknowledge
themselves indebted to us for the invention; even
General Paxhan gives up all claim to orgnali-
ty in his gun, and limits himself to certain i'm
provements which he introduced. The original
gun which was invented by Colonel Bomford, and
whose dimensions were carried to General Paix-
han, in France, is now lying at the ordnance de-
pot in New York harbor."

THE MITRDERER.

VIM. cambridge Epes, charged with having
murdered Mr.. F. Adolphus Muir, of Dinwiddie,
Virginia, has hed and the relatives of the decea-
sed have offered reward of $500 for his apprc-
hension. He is described as forty years of age,
about five feet ten inches high; of forid COM
plexion, with blue eyes and dark auburn hairwith
high forehead, and of athletic form, slightly in
clined to corpuloncy; reserved in his manners,
and proud and naughty in his general demeanor.
The Richmond Compiler says that when appli-
cation was made to procure a proclamation by
the Governor for the arrest of Epes, none could
be obtained, in consequence of the absence of the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor from the
seat of government. The Compiler adds-"The
Lieutenant Governor, we learn, has gone to Lew
sburg to attend the Court of Appeals; and Gov
ernor Smith is said to be practising his profession
in Fauquier. ."-Cincinnati Gazette.
