rrAp 1t has long been familiar to most
of our readers that deviled kidney is a

but till the Lancet showed that the
spice so called is mainly composed OF red

diabolical thing kidney deyi!ed is.

Late and Important from FIayti.

The N. Y. Herald contains very late
and important news from Hayti 1t says:
Sou'ouque, the black Emperor, recrui-
ted and re-equipped his army, and plac-
ed it on as effective q footing as the re-
sources of his empire would permit. He
has been distributing eagles and crosses
of the Legion of Honor, and ranks and
titles, and in fact initiating, in every
particular, the modes resorled to by the
most splendid autocrats, to ensure or to
reward the fidelity Of his army. The
address from the throne to the congrega-
ted wisdom Of his empire, in Senate as.
sembled, is q. document worthy of stand
ing side by side with those which are
periodically read in the British House Of
Lords. 1t gives an analysis of the con-
dition Of the empire, calls attention to
the state of the public works, the budget,
internal and external trade, custom heu-
ses, the crops, the army and navy, the
foreign relations Of the government, pub
lie instruction, &c. In relation to the
amy and navy, the address states that
they are on respectable footing, and
hints at the preclouc advantages which
the country may derive from them.-
What those advantages are, which are
thus shadowed out in prospcctu it is not
difficult to divine, particularly when to-
ken in connection with preceding par
agrapb, referring to the Dominicans,
whore Soulouque intimates the direc,
ton of his policy in these significant
words:
"We hope, then, that the eastern in.
habtants, understanding their true in.
tercsts, will acknowledge, after seri.
Gus meditation, that their only possible
and real happiness consists in mingling
their existence with oursn
Or, in other words, submit 10 the ab-
sorpton into that government of their
independent republic.
The Domnicans on the other part do
notseem to be much frightened by tho
hostile indications exhibited by their
wooily~headed neighb0rs. Though much
inferior to their adversaries in numbers,
they have confidence in their ability to
repel every incursion which may be
made on them from that quarter. The
army Of Soulouque probably amounts to
some thirty thousand men, while thatof
the Daminicans is hardly more than two
thirds of that number; but yet the lat
ter seems quite adequate to protect the
republic from the cruelty and rapacity
OF the savages who threaten it.
The Earl Of Derby has been elected
Chancellor Of the University Of Oxford.
in the place of the Duke of Wellington,
deceased.
CEA. This is another evidence of the
besotted adhesion to and worship of ar-
istccratic influence on the part of the
spiritual notabilities of England To
the exclusion Of the many accomplished
scholars and men Of eminent scientific
attainments, the Duke of Wellington
was elected to Office, though little more
tit for the station-except for the patro-
mage he held-than a calf for dancing
master. The selection of Derby as his
successor is nearly as contemplate.

In making the above announcement, it is deemed
proper to say that large number of citizens of all

dressed to Mr.. Maury a few days ago commune
cation expressing their wish to present his name
to his fellow citizens a candidate for the Mayor

questions connected with the politics of the day,
and solely in consideration of his long and useful
services in the Councils, and Of his fitness for the
place
To this communication the following reply has
been received:
al have received your communication. What
ever might have been my personal wishes on the
subject it would have been difficult for me to resist
the friendly coll you have made upon me; but,
agreeing do entirely with all that you have
said as TO the incxpediency Of bringing national
politics into our city elections, most cheerfully
place my name at your disposal as candidate for
the Mayoralty at the ensuing election.

As the friends Of other candidates for this office
are already active in their behalf, desire to pre-
sent the name of the present incumbent, WALTER
LENox, esq, for reelection. IL is to be expected
that personal preference will, to extent, gov
ern the choice of many; but before the community

only unjust 10 the officer bat to the public inter

and lose. to the public the benefits of official expert

the duties OF the office with ability and zeal, and
hereafter bring to it the advantage of practical
