liam papers, and the various items we have receive
ed, we have invariably, on publishing them, called
attention 10 the fact of their being er arfe state
ments.
Regarding the charges against Mr.. Wilson, the
British Charge d'Ahaires, at v nezuela, the writer
In Ell ReyuJiicamo, seems to be very indignant
The meddlesome character of tn British Ministers
to the various Colombian republics, has been too
fully demonstrated on many occasions. Their
heavy indebtedness to the British people, gives that
government and its ENJOYS great sway over them.
Mr.. Wilson has now left Venezuela; whether he
is to return or not, we do not know; at all events,
during his absence, his personal influence, wheth-
er for good or bad, will not be felt And we trust,
that ere long, things will become quite settled. It
Is beautiful country, of considerable importance
In u commercial point of view, and deserves bet
ter fate than to be continually kept in commotion
by political disturbances.
by the late papers which we have received from
Caracas, it seems that M. c. E. David, the French
Charge d'Aflaires, under Louis Philippe's govern
ment, had got into bad repute among the Venezue-
hans He had written some rather harsh remarks
to his government concerning the revolution of
the 2lth January last These remarks had been
published IN Paris, and thus the Venezuelan go
vernment had become aware of them. The papers
in the Monagas interest are very violent against
him, accusing him of fasehood, duplicity, &C.,
and rejoice that he has been displaced by the new
French government. M. David was formerly very
popular in Caracas now, 1t seems, it would be
hardly safe for him to remain there.
Thus, both English and French Ministers have
displcased both Sides

A TALE OF CRIME AND MURDER "A correspondent
of the Milford, IN. H.) Mirror, relates the follow
ing PARTICULARS of a sad case of seduction and sui.
eide -
ABOUT Two years ago q wealthy and influential
wld9wer OF iorty-iiye, named DR.: Me-, of Chel-
sea, hired an amiabe and beautiful girl of eighteen,
named Mary T, to assume the care of his chill
dren and household. few months after they
were seen to ride away together, and in the next
woodstock paper appeared an announcement that
they had been married in that place by an Episco.
pal clergyman. They returned as man and wife.
and have so lived until short time SINCE when
DR.. McC-- dismissed the unfortunate woman
trom his honsc, alleging that they had never been
married! Whether she had utterly been deceived
by sham marriage, or had consented TO deceit
IN order to save her from inevitable shame, cannot
be ascertaned.
"a poor victim, driven IN disgrace from the
house from which she had so long been regarded
as virtuous wife, and thus rendered an 0utcast
from society, dared not return to her relatives; tho
finger OF scorn was pointed at her. and in whatever
company she found herself, she was loathed and
Stunned. She could not endure this, and returned
at length by night to the house Of her destroyer,
and begged pleOusy for shelter and protection de-
clarlng that she had wandered long without food
and was starving, At length the door was opened
of the neghborhood. She was fed and turned
away, with strict orders never to show herself
there again. She eft--but where could she 90
All day she wandered in the woods and lodges ad-
Jaceni and IN the night, faint and shivering, she
crept back TO the only place where she could claim
protection, and cried for home. She was repeued :

that she should be allowed a shelter 1t was
agreed that she might stay that night, but should
leave in the morning, neighbor promising to take
her TO her nearest relatives. twill 60 1t alive

The CRY GOVERNMENT When the present cor.
poro,oH was elected las, spring, 4. was thought that
the clotcness of the vote between the two parties.
and the censure passed by the people upon the con.
duct of the last corporation, would have had some
influence upon the persons elected, and would
have induced them to give a good. faithful, in
dustnous, energetic city government.
The sky is clear to-day-coudy tomorrow
There Is nothing but disappointment in this life.
The present corporation has turned out as bad as,
if not worse, than any we have had for MANY
years past; showing itself grossly extravagant in
many operations, and senctioning illegal conduct
on the part OF its agents in various ways No at
ten,ion is paid by them to the cleanliness or order
OF the city and if this vast metropolis is as heal
thy at this. moment thankful it is, we are
more indebted for this to the goodness of Provi-
dence, and the cooness of the weather, than any
attention on the part of the corporation to their
public duties. The streets of New York never
were in such disgraceiul, foul, filthy, mean and
contemplate condition as they now are.
But more. The season is now coming on when
emigrants of all kinds from foreign countries will
begin to pour IN upon this great metropolis, yet
what attention has been paid, in prospect of all these
casualties, by the corporation! None. But for
voluntary committee of the 9th ward, these fathers
OF the city would have introduced into one of the
most crowded districts all those poor creatures az
fl cted with all sorts OF diseases, arriving from Eu
rope TO this land of promise. Fortunately, howe
yer, by the energy OF the inhabitants of the 9th
ward, and the manliness of Judge IIurbut the
hands of the corporation were tied up IN this mat
ter.
We much fear that the city government, under
the present system, can never be rendered efficient
or decent, and the My thing which ever can fur
nlsh us with good government, is an entire new
system. We must have a revolution, and nothing
else.
