MAcHlN AND LLoRENTE.-The Geographic re-
port Which we copied yesterday from the Picayune,
and which purported 70 give summary Of an arti.
Gle rom the New York Evening Post, contained
some inaccuracies. The dispatch stated that Ma
chins letter to the editor Of la Verdaa was dated
on the 9Th July, and that Machu was found dead on
the Sth The letter Of Machin stated thar Llorente
had made some very ambiguous propositions to him,
and had even rssorted to threats. The Post came
through this morning, and il states that Rachin's
letter was written on the nth June, full three
weeks before he was found dead 10 his room, at the
corner Of Dauphn and st. Peter streets.
We would not think It necessary to make this
correction particularly, were it not for the dispo-
sition which has been shown in divers quarters 10
make LoFente appear as the murderer of Machin.
An attempt to prosecute Llorente on the facts as
they at present appear, is more laughabe even than
the LaboFde hoax. Certain parties who have made
themselves ridiculous as well as despicable during
the key excitement, now want to make Lorente
the seapegoat to carry OH their folly and guilt.
But people are are beginning to see that garbled
statements are not truth and that loud protestatons
Of patriotism are sometimes the surest indications
Of interested knavery. The Rey burst-up will
make the public cautious Of the Llorente bubble.
The Coroner's Office was not open yesterday, or
we should have examined the testimony taken on
the inquest held over Machin's body. Tie man
had shown symptoms Of insanity some time before
ne committed suicide and his necessities super.
added 70 his passions, drove him to the rash step
OF taking away his life.

NAVAL IMPosToR-A fellow wearing the uni.
form of the U. S. Navy, and calling himself Capt.
Downes, Lieut. Hunter, etc., has been swindling
sundry persons about Boston, lately Some of his
speculations have amounted to the pretty sum of
$780, His practice was to visit store, state his
pretended rank in the navy, and order certain
articles to be sent to respectable hotel, where
they were disposed of in a manner that enabled
him to pocket the proceeds. He was last seen at
Roxbury, with a pair of black horses he had OBJ
tanned on trial, and the officers were in pursuit

bune, is principally confined to the Eleventh, Sew

tending from the Park to the Battery known as the

MUTINY ON Board OF A CALIFORNIA SHIP
A serious mutny occurred off MontevideO about
the 10Th Of May, on board Of the ship Memnon,
bound from New York to California Tile crew
had for some time shown signs of characterization
and insolence to the officers. One man refused to
do duty, and was put in irons. The others rose in
his defence, and a general fight commenced, in
which the Captain and officers were supported by
the passengers. Several of them were wounded.
They at length retreated to the cabin, armed them
selves, and returned to the deck. Then, in per-
feet GOODNESS and bleeding as all the officers were,
the first and second mates went forward with their
pistols, with orders TO fire and kill any man who
refused to come aft. The crew, finding that the
officers and passengers were all armed, gave up the
contest, and eight men were finally manacled and
sent below. After a consultation, it was decided
to make for Montevideo, instead Of attempting to
go round the Cape with murnous crew. The
Memnon reached anchorage on the 26th of May,
and the mutineers were sent aboard the American
ship-of-war St. Louis. On the morning of the
9Th the rest of the crew refused to do duty, and
it was said that the Captain of the sloop-of-var
went on board and ordered them all to be seized
up for punishment The Memnon had cabin pas
sengers only Part Of the passengers Of the bark
Rochelles from Boston, heretofore reported as hav-
ing put into Montevideo, in distress, would take
payage on the Memnon.

other gentlemen Of note, and was escorted TO the
Reception Room, where he receives his friends
for few days, until he removes his quarters to the
private residence Of the Catholic Bishop Of the
diocese. The apostle Of temperance appeared for
moment on balcony erected from a window in
his parlor, and after word of gratitude, retired,
amid the cheers Of the assembled multitude, who
moved away to Boylston street and fremont street,
where they adjourned TO meet at o'clock in the
afternoon on the Common, to have grand mass
temperance meeting.
