Imprisonment Of an American by the

Mr.. Charles L. Brace, graduate of Yale

Hartford, formerly Of this village while
travelling through Europe, was imprisoned
in Gros- Warden in Hungary, ON the 9th
OF May, under the false accusation of being
one Of the Democratic Revolutionary Com
mittee and an agent of Ujhazy. Mr.. Nc.
Cardy, our Minister to Austria, is making
efforts for his release. He has written to
our Government for their interference.
The following is from the Berlin (Prus>

and had been thrown into prison. He
managed by the aid Of mercantile friends
to communicate the information of his
arrest to the Legations in Vienna and Ber>
lin. Every step was Immediately ,aken
To pro,ure his release. Mr.. Barnard and
MI. Fay called upon the Austrian Am

as an impartial Tourist in Hungary, Just as

that there is no room TO doubt but that Mr..
Brace will be immediately released BY or

II We regret to learn that Col, HENRY
/ FULLER. Representative from Keai at
the recent session Of the Legislature. died
at the U, S. Hotel in Hartford on Sunday
evening last, aged 90 years. He was an
active young member Of the bar Of this
county, and last year was Secretary Of the
Senate of this State. At The last April cleo
ton he was chosen member Of the House,
and. until near the close of the session, he
participated in the deliberations of that body
until deferred by his last sickness. The
honorable and amiable character of the de-.
ceased won for him many cordial friends,
who will sincerely lament his early death.

TJenny Lindgave concert in Hartford
on Saturday evening. An ID feeling was
engsndered in the minds Of the ~pOpulaee
in consequence Of The the Agent having
privately disposed Of many of the best seats
before the place for the sale of tickets was
opened. 10 consequence, q mob collected
around the Fourth Church. (where the
Concert was held,) and towards the close
Of the performance, greatly annoyed the
singer and the audience with shouting and
singing. The Mayor and police interfered
without effect. Several ladies' in the audi.
ence tainted, and Jenny was SO much agita-
ted as to proceed but imperfe city if fact,
her voice was sometimes lost ia that of the
mob. The crowd was so great in front Of
the church, that Miss Lind, after waiting
an hour. was compelled to leave the church
BY back window, and cross the gardens
into Trumbull street. She was thence CON.
Quoted on foot to The railroad station.
where an express train, in waiting, carried
hertz Springfield the same evening.
This accomplished singer and excellent
lady is followed BY all sorts uf anuoyances.
We were in Hartford during the Saturday
in question:, and heard frequent limitations
of an anticipated disturbance. On enquir-
ing the cause, We were informed that, in
addition to the indiscretion Of the Agent al
ready referred to, large part of the tickle is
were bough. up by spectators soon af ter
the sale commenced, and were then sold
out by them at advanced prices! These
spectators. i, is said. follow her from place
to place, very much to her regret.
This is Jenny Lind's first Concert in
Connecticut. and will probably be her last,
although she had intended to give one or
two more in Hartford on her return from
Canada.

obliging expressions Of your good will

relation to the subject Of your inquiry.
fully app eciating as I do the patriotic
motives which prompt you TO make it.
For the honorable position have been
permitted to occupy during the last four
years, am indebted to The confidence
reposed in my judgement and patriotism
by the Wings of Connecticut, who kindly
honored me with their support. without
other grounds Of confidence than such
as their knowledge of my character and
general opinions, and their observation
Of my public conduct afforded.
On some of the questions on which I
have been called to act or to express my
opinions in the Senate. the General AS
sembly also, have from time to time, by
resolutions adopted by large majori,ies,
in which my political friends have almost
unanimously concurred, indicated their
wishes.
How far under the circumstances in
which have acted on the grave ques>
tons which were pending before the
country on the accession Of Gen. Taylor
to the Presidency. my conduct has been
such as to justify the continuance or the
withdrawal Of the confidence so gener-
ously bestowed on me inedvance, must
leave to my political friends to decide,
without feeling myself at liberty to de-
part on this occasion. from the rule to
which have hitherto uniformly adhered
when placed BY them in the position of a
candidate.
can only say therefore, consistently
with my own views Of propriety. that if
the nomination which has been made by
the Wing members OF the Legislature
should be sustained. it would be NV en-
deayor. as it has been, to Justify their
confidence by performing the duties of
the high trust conferred, in spirit of
patriotism. justice and fidelity. according
TO the best dictates Of my judgement en-
lightened By the deliberations of my as
sociates in council, and in view Of what,
ever ought to influence the action of a
prudent, just and patriotic Legislator.

The ApproachInr AnniHsrsnrx.

The Approaching Anniversary.
1.-THE plan and suggestions contained in
the following communication from Judge
BoxD meet with the hearty concurrence. Of
the Central Committee.-Euq.1
As the time approaches for the Gen.
tenni0I at Lilch6eld, an increasing inter-
est is manifested in various parts of the
County. in respect to the accommodation
of the immense assemblage which will
then be gathered. 1t is to be expected
that the hospitality of the people Of
L;tchfeld will be largely taxed in accom-
modating the Sons and Daughters of the
County, who will gather in from other
lands to pay homage to the memory Of
their fathers. How then shall the
mighty host of residents in the county be
provided for during this Yankee Passo-
ver? How shall the various family Cir
cies be reunited and brought into free
and easy communication 1t has been
proposed by lady in the north part Of
the county, that such families as wish
to enjoy the occasion. without the con.
seriousness of nnreasonably burdening 9th.
ers, adopt the Methodist plan that
they provide their tents and provisions
that they form a committee to Law out
an encampment in some pleasant enclo>
sure near the assemblage OF the "grca.
congregation" Let them come togeth.
er on the day before the Jubilee, pitch
their tents, and SO arrange their comforts
as to fee! that they are at home, and can
receive and entertain their own friends.
The plan is rendered feasible by the exis-
tence of good tents among the Methodist
families in most Of the towns OF the county,
which could be procured for the occasion.
The writer. in making these suggestions,
would by no means disparage the hospi,
tally of the people of Litchield. 1t would
still be incumbent on the good people of
the Hill, to provide sleeping apartments for
the female occupants OF the encampment.
This accommodation would doubtless be
cheerfuIly rendered as far as required, and
would still leave them with heavy lead OF
duties and responsibilities. The burden of
the arrangements for the occasion will, in
any event, fall heavily on Litch6eld. The
'.,rural districts; should do what they can
to ease the load.
1t may seem to many, an unwarranted
outlay Of trouble and expense, TO prepare
an encampment for two days. meeting in
u populous village. These should bear 10
mind that the occasion is like solemn feast
of the lsraeltes, which gathered in the
tribes from every land-but that Litchfeld
las not, like Jerusalem, the capacity for re-
ceiving and entertaining all who should
deem it their duty and privilege to 60 up
once iu their lives to honor the patriarchs
of our county.
Should the plan be approved, an imme>
date concert Of action should be pro cured.
With view to its attainment, the under:
signed will ct as medium Of communica-
ton and should any considerable number
of families respond by letter to the propo.
sal, he will notify them of time and place
Of meeting at Litchfield for consultation ana
maturing the arrangements.
