ported Hsurrection at DIatanza Mortality among
tbs Troops.
New YoRK, August 7-2 p. m.-The steamer
Georgia, from Chagres and Havana to August 2,
arrived this morning.
Great excitement prevailed on the reception of
news from New Orleans relative to the proceedings
of the Cuban sympathizers
On the night of August lst, in consequence of
private advices received by the government, all
the armed vessels with the exception of the Pzarro,
had left the port.
Rumors were afoat that large bodies Of armed
collected on the Florida reef, for the pur-
pose of making a descent upon Cuba. Expresses
were hourly arriving from the interior, and the
government paper, containing exciting news, had
been printed on the 3lst of July but the govern
ment had prohibited its issue till after the sailing of
the Georgia.
Several captured insurgents had been shot.
The captain general has issued proclamation
promising pardon to all who will lay down their
arms, except the leaders, who, if taken, will be
executed or sent to Spain.
The government doubts the loyalty of many of
the regiments. The troops who have lately arrived
from Spain are dying from exposure, being unable
to endure the climate. A
report prevailed that Matanzas in state
of insurrection, and troops had been ordered to
that point.

MENTAL ExcITEMENT.--Bad news weakens the
action of the heart oppresses the lungs, destroys
the appetite, stops digestion, and partially sus-
pends all the functions Of the system. An emotion
of shame fushes the face; fear blanches it, Joy lu-
inmates it; and an instant thrill electrifies n mil
lion of nerves. Surprise spurs the pulse into a
gallop. Derium infuscs great energy. Volition
commands, and hundreds Of muscles spring to ex-
ecute. Powerful emotion often kills the body at a
stroke; Chio, Diagoras and Sophocles, died Of Joy
Mt the Grecian Games. The news of defeat killed
Philip v. The doorkceper of Congress expired
upon hearing Of the surrender of CORVALLIS. EN-
incnt public speakers have often died in the midst
OF an impassioned burst OF eloquence, when the
deep emotion that produced it suddenly subsidized.

that the musical prize for which he had competed
was adjudged to another.

sixty explosions, in New York and its vicinity. has
recently been published, occurring between July
3, $780, and June 80, 1851 BY these different ex-
plosions ten persons were burned TO death, and
twenty one seriously injured.
This is only part, aud small part too, of cases
that might be collected in any year throughout
the Union And 80 far as they go they show that
one third of the accidents are fatal Probably not
less than five hundred expldAons annually occur IN
the United States; and If the same proportion of
injury to persons occur in the whole, as in these
sixty cases, about two hundred and sixty persons
are injured and about ninety of them killed! This
amount of injury may be regarded as too appalling
for reality. But whoever collects all the
corded will probably discover that have not
greatly exaggerated the evil.--PhiIa. Ledger.
