THE TAYLOR CELEBRATION. = On Saturday
evening the friends of Gen. Taylor celebrated the
victory of Monterey by grand torch-lght process
sion, in accordance with previous announcement.
The demonstration, in point of numbers, was
worthy of the event it was intended to commemo-
rate and was characterized by considerable degree
of enthusiasm. The procession formed on Canal
street, in the order designated in the programme
the various Rough and Ready clubs being mar
shaled each by its separate leader, and abundantly
supplied with torches and transparencies, contain
ing numerous suitable political devices. When the
proper hour arrived, the procession moved up Camp
street to Julia, through to ST. Charles, and thence
down to the Third Municipality and back, being
viewed in its course by vast eoncourse of people,
and encouraged by the waving of innumerable
handkerchiefs from the many fair ladies who filled
the balconies. As the affair has been infinitely
described by yesterdays papers, and was viewed
by most of our citizens, we deem it superhuous to

APPREHENSION OF FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.
Our readers will recollect that woman named
Margaret Osborne, a servant in the ST. Charles
Hotel last winter, was arrested in January or Feb.
ruary on charge of stealing bank note of $1,000,
from a gentleman boarding in the esta blishment,
and that she escaped from the jail of Second Mu-
nicipality, where she was being impris oned until
her examination. A man named Geo. W Christal,
a fellow servant Of hers, was arrested about the
same time, an accomplice in the theft or rather
as the receiver of the money, knowing it to be
stolen. 1t is said that he on being told she was to
be brought up to give evidence against him, found
means to communicate to her desire to marry her,
and to effect the marriage, suggested to her to at
tempt an escape from prison. Having before
wished for the union, she readily acceded his
gestion, and, being allowed some liberties in the
prison effected her liberty. They were married,
and has not since been heard of until Yesterday
when she was arrested Immediately after her arr-
val from New York, on the ship Martha J. Ward,
by the police of the Second Municipality, and
lodged in Jail. Her husband, Mr.. Christal, is now
in the penitentary at Baton Rouge the evidence of
attempt to pass the bill, which was identified by
the number, having been sufficient to convict him
of completely in the crime.

Thou Art Not Here.

Lamps of silver hang above me
Shedding floods of golden light,
And the looks of those who love me
Glide my cold reserve tonight.
Rosy corOnals are fiinging
Round their gifts Of odor sweet;
Wanted roof and floor are ringing
With the fail of dancing feet.
While young JOY, with tTess unbranded,
Charms with yiOl-note the ear,
Darkly is my forehead shaded
Thou art not here
Often, often have lifted
To my lip the cup of mirth,
When the beautiful and gifted
Crowded round the festal hearth:
Once this aching heart of brighter,
GayeT feelings was the shrine,
And no dancing foot fell lighter
In the May reel than mine.
Ruby lips are breathing gladness-
Eyes of staT-like beam are near;
Why then is my brow all sadness
Thou art not here w. H. G. HosMER

SCHOOL BooKs-We would direct the attention
Of the public in general, and of teachers and all
others interested in the cause of education, to the
advertisement of ]. B. Steel in another column
The list of educational works which he presents,
will be found much more comprehensive than any
which has hitherto been offered, comprising books
in every branch of science and literature from the
smallest primer, suited to the inGante mind, to the
ponderous volumes of Lempriere and Anthem. We
venture to say that no popular work in use in our
schools be inquired for which will not be found
in Mr.. Steels assortment. We recommend all
those who may find it necessary to purchase school
books to call at IA Camp street, where we are sure
they cannot avoid being suited.

The CoNCoRDIA ExPLosIoN.-It will be sat-
saction to the public to learn that the causes ofthe
explosion on the Concordia, by which val uable
lives were lost in the way of being publ ely in
vestigated. An officer of the Second Municipality
police yesterday made affidavit :" that from the
character of the boat and the circumstances of the
explosion, there is good reason to believe that said
explosion was caused by gross and criminal neg-
gence on the part of the Chief Engineer, Mr.
Lentz." The affidavit, the officer alleges is based
on information he has received, and warrant was
issued for the arrest of the Engineer but on the
certificate Of his physician, DR.. Saunders, that it
was dangerous to remove him in his present situa-
ton, the warrant was not executed.
