PHILADELPHIA. June Is. 1850. -

The New York Herald of the 9Th ult SAYS {:
We have received further information and cores
pondence from Cumana( Venezuela) and St. Thomas
relative to General Paez and his intended departure
for the United States. We have before us the news
paper styled Ell COrreO de Oriente, of the Goth May
last published at Cumana, two days after the Gen.
left; and have further advices from our ST. Thomas
correspondent.
The COrreO publishes an interesting description of
the departure of Paez, from Cumana. This paper
states that the General was attended by an immense
cOncourse of people who accompanied him with
cheers and acclamaOns, in sort of trlumphal pro-
cession, from the door Of his prison to the steamer
which was TO convey him to st. Thomas The
spectacle exhibited is described as highly exciting
and affecting; even the women and children
crowded around the South American hero, and
could not be prevented by the escort of officers from
approaching General Paez. Several printed fare
well address were scattered among the crowd. Two
of these are published in Ell CorTeo, and one con-
tains these words addressed to General Paez In
your exile in your pilgrimage, let the grateful recol.
lection of the tender and pure love which your fell
owcitiZens ever feel for you, and the cheering idea
that your ostraeism will last only for short time
as the reign Of your ignoble enemies console you.
Farewell, illustrious citizen! Farewell,
distinguished General, until the God of justice, the
protector Of virtue and dispenser of wisdom, may
ordain in his divine providence, that the people of
Cumana, shall again receive you in their arms, and
press you TO their bosoms.'

AEhhibl1E II ENdE.-l ne OlnClHndL L llIles OF
the 25th ultimo relates the following:
yesterday about A. NJ, an occurrence took
place at the corner Of Mill and Columbia Streets
which in its effects was most deporable and
strange. A couple named Anthony Putnam and
Catharine Soumeyer had just been married at the
Fifth street Church, between Smith and Park, and
returning to her fathers residence, and Just
entering from the yard, when duehng pistol, in
the hands Of young man, about nineteen years Of
age, named Richard Overlook, was discharged at
the party. Some sixty shot entered the brides
face, neck and bosom Some shot passing her
took effect in the face of Joseph Linenkugel. Both
were much injured, but the young bride is in an
awful situation, and it was feared she would die.
1t impossible to extract the shot, as they were
deeply imbedded in the fesh and too the
jugular vein. Some, it found. had penetrated
the brain. The young husband, when our reporter
saw the couple, was wiping the blood from his
wites wounds, as it oozed out. The wife was in
great agony. The fellow who discharged the pis-
tol had fled for Kentucky There were little hopes
of the recovery of the wife"

A GIGANTIC OPERATION IN THE FLOUR MAR
KEr.-The U. S. Consul at Valparaiso, by Mr..
Potter, communicates to the National Intelgencer
letter, of date the 18th of May, in which he states
that an arrangement has been contaminated be-
tween the millers of Chill and company of re-
sponsbe merchants Of Valparaiso, with branch
in San Francisco, to supply the California market
with flour. Having monOpolzed the purchase of
all the flour to be manufactured in Chill for the
next eighteen months, by stringent contract, they
are sanguine of controlling the California market,
and OF placing an arbitrary price upon that inds-
pensable staple. The average monthly product of
the mills of Chill is estimated at from forty to forty
five thousand barrels ofour, equal 10 the best man.
uiactured in the United States, Of which twenty
five thousand barrels are for export, which must
find a market in the Pacific, the principal being
California. In consequence of the great fluctua-
tons that have frequently occurred in that market
during the past year, varying in price from the
most extravagant "maximum" down TO a ruinous
4" minimum" has induced the millers to enter into
the arrangement alluded 10 above, by which they
to supply to this monopoly" the entire product
of their mills. The consumption of the California
market is estimated by these gentlemen to be not
less than twenty-five thousand barrels per month
calculating, from the present Increase ofemigration,
upon i've thousand barrels more per month, Such
Is fhflr argument and calculation,

N. P. Willis is now endeavoring, by the most UNI

regard TO the late horsewhipping / inflicted upon
him; and that too, before legal hearing can be had
of the facts in the case-by the publication offalse
statements over his own signature-by the adver-
tisement of nameless affidavit, also fase-and by
parading communication in the columns of the
New York Tribune, signed " A Lady," doubtless
bis own production, from its transparent mendacity
i deem it necessary, therefore, to give most I'M
equivocal denial to one calumnious assertion, that
