paid the same price, and, owing TO failure

A COMPANY OF DUTcu ImMIGRANTs.-A
few days since the singular appearance of a
party of Hollanders attracted our attention
and induced us TO make some enquiries rels
tive TO them, when we learned fact tina
will astonish no little those who remain in
credulous of The vast amount of wealth
brought to this country by emigrants. This
company, consisting in all of so persons
large aud small, had arrived in the ship En-
blem, from Rotterdam, and were destined
for the Holland colony of the Rev. Van
Raal'v, in Michigan, TO which they have since
been forwarded by Mr.. Ilodeupyl, No. Ia
Greenwich street. They were all from the
province of Groningen, and were in good cir
cumstances. Thiuy-two of the women wore
large golden head dresses, consisting Of a
broad gold band across the forehead, broad
plates a, the side, and heavy band and
clasp a, the back Of the head. Many oflhese
mead dresses were ornamenled with diamonds
md jewels, and over them were worn caps
Of the richest Brussels lace. Many were OF
immense value, and not one was worth less
han one hundred and sixty dollars.-N. y

How THEY LIE.-It is we'll known, that, in
Indiana. Ohio, &c., the Locofoco leaders are
assidious in their efforts 10 promote the pros
poets Of Cass and Butler by representing those
gentlemen as thorough Aboli'ionists. There
isn't a Locofoco paper in Indiana Ohio but
asserts that Cass and Butler are the most de-
termined opponents of slavery, and, that the
whole hope of the Abolition cause rests upon
their election.
On Friday evening we saw gentleman from
Northern Indiana, who informed us thatall the
Locofocos in that region are busily circulating
story that Gen. Butler, from an unconquera-
BILE antipsthy TO slavery, has set the Uhotc OF
his own slaUes fret Our informant assures us
that he has actually heard this story told and
boldly vouched for BY the Locofoco speakers al
several Locofoco meetings! There is no lie too
gross and monstrous for the use OF these Loco
foco demagogues.
When these Northern Locofocos assert that
Gen Butler an Abolitionist either i'll theory
or practice they utter a SANDER which he him
self would resent as deadly insult. When
they say that Cass is an Abolitionist, the state
ment may be true, aud it may be false. He
has been upon all sides of all questions con
nected with slavery, and upon what side o.
those questions he is now nobody can guess
his Northern life and his Southern life being
at direct issue upon the subject. The onlY
thing certain is, that any party which may
trust him, whether it be the Northern party OF
The Southern party. will be exceedingly likel,
to find itself duped, fooled, and swiudled.-

CITY OF WILLIE:
THURSDAY MORNING, SEP. 81.

CAss-NoRTH AND SoUTH.--In Northern
Ohio, the adv coates of Gen. Cass are election
eering for him on the ground that he is Will
mot proviso man. This is what the Cleveland
Plaindealer says:
eve claim to say that Gen Cass is as good
Free soil man as Judge Mclean, and much
better one than Martin Van Buren,"
This is what Cas- says himself in his letter
to Judge Wilson:
The Wilmot proyiso will not pass the SEN
ate. IL lrOHld be death 10 The lCar-DEATH
TO ALL HOPES OF GETTING AN ACRE
OF TERRfTORY-dcatht to the Administra-
ton, and death to the Democratic pariynr
And he therefore, to save the party, hopes
that the Proviso will not pass.
With these developments of Gen. Cass's
views, his supporters can vote for him either
as a Wilmot Proyiso or as anti Wilmot Provi-
SO man, and be sure that one is as likely 10 be
cheated as the other.

HONESTY ps. MEANNEss. following
incident, related by New York Correspon-
lent Of the Philadelphia inquirer, presents
striking contras, between masnanimIiy and
soulless selfshness.
"a few days since, porter in store in
Cedar street, poor Irishman, with a salary
OF seven dollars week and a large family
dependent on him Tor support, found a farge
roll Of bank bills An hour oriwo afterwards,
man came into the store in state of grea
excitement, and said that he was ruined,
WIDELY and bopelessly ruined. He had
drawn, he said, ten thousand dollars that fore
noon, from one Of the city banks, and had
lost every dollar of il somehow. The porter
heard the conversation, and stepping up Ia
him, said: "Sr, do no, be alarmed-here
IS your money. found it and here j, is
s''rhe roll of bills was counted, aud found
all right, and what do you suppose the loser
hen did? He deliberately deposited the
money in his breeches pocket, and walked
out, withou, so much as saying thank you,

eral fact"

DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE AT hyrIGUA.-We
published short paragraph day or two ago
of the destructive hurricane which recently de
stroyed nearly the entire settlements OF the Is
land of Antigua. The Baltimore American
copies from the Antigua Observer of the oath
August, containing the particulars of the des-
tructive hurricane with which that Island was
visited on the Dist of that month. The storm
commenced on the afternoon Of that day, and
increased in force until two o'clock the next
morning, when it sensibly abated. We sub
join brief abstract from a potion of the ar
ticle:
Our tranquil island. previously studded with
neat structures and populous villages, in this
brief interval was shriyelled to waste OF rub
bish and ruin! As the day advanced accounts
of this terrible calamity came in from ldirec-
ton.
In The old-road division the devastation is
immense. Every cottage in the village lies pros
trate; and the cottagers, men, woman, and
children, are for the present quartered in the
cellar of the rectory and school-room. The
village of Johnson's Point, comprising some
80 or 200 dwellings, is almost annihilated-
there being but three good houses standing.
The villages in the neighborhood are nearly
all destroyed. At this part of the Island
where the hurricane was most severe, they had
an early notice of its approach by an extraordi-
nary swell Of ihe sea, which began on Mon
day me rning about 10 o'clock. and came in
from the southeast.
The injury TO plantation property has been
serious in the extreme.
From the record Of disasters in the rural dis
tricts tolerable correct idea may be gathered
Of the extent of the devastation. Compared
with these details the destruction in the city
OF ST. John appears slight, and for the greater
part is confined TO the poorer classes.
1t is supposed that throughout the island
there have been two thousand buildings un.
rooted and seven hundred totally destroyed
BY far the larger portion of these are the cot
tages of the laboring classes.
The damage to the shipping appears incon-
sidera ble-attributable to the circumstance oil
there having been at the time but very few
vessals in the harbor, and to the good "holding
ground. of the anchorages.
Of the entire loss of life there are various
rumo,s The number is said to exceed thirty,
but authentic statements only giveus iniorma
ton of ighteen-chiefy, we believe, OF the la
boring classes. Immense numbers of cattl
and stock of all kinds have been destroyed.
The general destruction, including life and
property, is supposed to be greater than the
losses occasioned BY the earthquakeof 1913, or
by the hurricane of 1885.

RISE or PRoPERTY.-The rapidity Of the rise
of real estate in Cincinnati, says the Gazette,
is well illustrated by a statement made in the
Times, by Mr.. WIN. V. Barr, son of The late
WIN. Barr. owner of the 81 Barr Farm" Mr.
B. has been investigating the matter, and state:
that his father gave s33 80 per acre for this
property, in the year 1911; "thus," says MIR
Barr, paying 1856 so for what, at this day, OIL
an average of $50 per foot. which is low, il
worth nine millions three hundred and fou
thousa nd dollars, without elerence to the build

The FoRAY AGAINST MExIco.--The New Or
leans papers of the 9th announce the depar-
ture of the first band of adventures engaged
| in the project of dismembering the Mexican
territory and of creating the Republic OF Sier-
ra Madre. As was anticipated, no serious OBJ
stacles was offered by MIR. Folks agents OF the
law in New Or lsans, and none we venture to
say, was intended, although the President knew
that this foray was in violation OF treaty stlpu'
ation with Mexico, and ought to have been
prevented at all hazards. The Evening Mer-
curry of the 9th, says:
A grand hunting exhibition is now about
marching on the lux uriant plains of Mexico
The youths of The North, the East, and the
West are bucklng OH their armor for the sport
aud the sunny South, ever foremost in deeds oil
| high emprise; has already sent portions OF heT
gallant sons TO the hunting ground. fester-
day nearly two hundred OF these ardent spirits
sailed from our own fair city, for the banks oil
the Rio Grande, fully armed for the chase, and
possessed ola sufficient supply of that ignita-
| bic article-the inventor of which Don Quixot-
lie piously wished to the devil.
Ii is true that the officers of Government
with an abominable hankering after obsolete
principles, made some objections to the de-
parture of the vessel, but all such little "impe-
diments' were cut through by a spacious limb
of the law, who showed beyond dispute that the
party was bound for United States port and
that their object was Buffalo hunting We
learn that the plans of NE expedition are ex
tensive and we'll supported, and that some rict
sport isanticipated In the meantime another
party are about TO dispute the hunting grounds
with our brave adventurefs, as the followers oil
Earl Douglass did with those of Earl Percy
and we expect that The story of the Chevy
Chase" will have 10 be written again.

A LONDON MERcnaNT ARREsTED.-Mr. Rel
yea, of the Independent Police, in New York,
about fortnight ago received information from
England that a person by the name of S. w.
Leaney, who had been doing an extensive bus
mess in London had absconded, and was sup
posed, taken passage in the packet-ship indie
pendence, under the assumed name of Ming
for New York, having previously obtained from
London, and other merchants, goods to a very
arge amount, and converted a portion of them
nto cash. Upon the receipt of this informa-
ton and requisite papers, Mr.. Relyea kept an
eye upon the packets, as they respectively ar
rived at this port, and finally, on the arrival OF
the Independence. in tow of a steamer, he had
the satisfaction of conducting his man into
close quarters, in less than fifteen minutes af
ter The vessel touched the dock. As the Of
fence with which Leany is charged will moi
permit his being sent back under the "Ashbur
TON treaty. all that Mr.. Relyea could do wa:
to induce Leaney to she'll out the money and
deliver up the goods which he had fraudulently
Obtained, This was not only effectively bu
promptly accomplished by Mr. Relyea, who
having transferred the dust over 10 Messrs
Barney & Mitchell, attorneys, for the benefi
of the London Merchants, placed his thumb &c
his nose in very Insignificant manner to thu
officers who came day after the fair.

GEN. CAss AND THE IRIsH.-We copy the
following from the N. Y. Tribune.
Gen. Cass and the hish.-the Washington
Union of Saturday last says: THAT Gen. Cass
is a great friend Of the Irish because he made a
speech in favor of the Irish relief bill in the
last Congress-" The Union says:
"Gen. Cass voted Tor the Irish relief bill and
was also its most eloquent.advocate in the U.
IS. Senate"
Very well, but will our venerabe;contempo-
rary answer us the two following questions:
/. Did not Gen. Cass the next day after
making that same speech. sit in his seat and
REFUSE to Uote for The bill when Mr. Critien-
denis motion to take it up was voted down by
the Locofoco party?
2. Did not the Union of that day take
grounds against the Irish relief bill unconsti-
tutiona?
1t is fact that Gen. Cass gave the vote spo-
ken of BY the Tribune, and it is a fact that the
Washington Union took ground against the
Irish relief bill as unconstitutional, and j: is
fact that the Louisville Democrat and all the
other Locofoco papers in the land contended
that the bill was unconstitutional, and il is al
so fact that the bill was voted down by the
Locotoco party in Congress.-Louisrillc Jour

REvoLvISG HEELS To Boors.-A late number
ofthe Baltimore Clipper contains the following
new invention:
We examined beautiful boot, made By Mr..
Robert L. Hartman, to which he has attached
what is called the Revolving Heel, an inven-
ton of his own, for which he is about to take
out patent. The heel is put on by means of
screw, and can be taken off or put on by a
single turn of the hand A great many per-
sons usually wear one side of the heels of in a
few days, and thus, although ''as good as new, ~
make them set uneven and assume an ugly
shape. BY this invention, it is only necessary
TO give the screw a slight tuIn with the hand,
and the side of the heel not worn off is made
to take the place of the one which is gone, so
that the boot soon again sets evenly, as well as
easily, on the foot. 1t appears to us to be an
excellent invention.
