MT. NJ arcolletta, the Minister of Nicaragua, represents that the Pres ident had been re elected. and that there was now prospect of some settled and responsible Government. In the Convention which is now pro- posed between Great Britain and the United States, it is said to be inten- ded that Nicaragua shall be made a party, or if the same condition of an- a, chy and confusion should continue to exist, that a clause shall be inserted for her consent, whenever a Cove rn- ment may be established.

Tho Riot at Cleveland.

The Cleveland papers contain full ac. counts of the riot which occurred in that city on Monday last. in consequence of portions of human body being discov- cred in cess pool connected with the Home pathlc College and which body was thought to be identified by its friends The story as related by the Plain Dsals' is as follows:
 "The daughter of Mr. Marvin John son. of Ohio City. was married te a Mr. Judson, some eighteen months age. She was delivered of child the same year, and being then but little over sixteen years old, and of a feeble constitution. she rapidly declined from the date of hsr confinement, and died about the lst Ol November last. She was buried in the Ohio City Cemetery. much lsmentsd. ol course. by her young husband and do. ting and tender father. About the same time littls girl four years old. the daugh' ter of John Haver, died very suddenly with croup. and was buried in the same yard with Mrs. Judson. The second day following their burial, their grave clothes were found strewed around she burying- ground. and on examing their graves their bodies were gons. In a nearly distract. ed state ol mind. Mr. Johnson, Mir. Jud. son, and Mir. Haver, set about finding their remains. They offered rewards, they threatened and entreated, but all to no purpose. No clue was found of any portion of either, until portion of fe. male body was discovered in tte vault oi this privy some days ago. and was taken up and buried by order of the Faculty and last Wednesday exhumed by Mr. Johnson and his friends, who supposed 1t to be his identical daughter. Of course he was anxious to make further exalnln- ation about lhe College, which led him on Saturday to fish out of said vault oth- CT portions of said body. but not the parts entire"
 A mob soon assembled, and the feel ings of Mr. Johnson and friends were ex. cited beyond control by the idea that nol only had the bodies of their relatives ana acquaintances been wrestsd from sh'

Barnum and tho Barber.

We are indebted tor the following Rn- ecdote, to a gentleman who is fully res ponsibIe for the truth of what he asserts:
 Barnum, is undeniably a genius in his way and withal fellow of infinite humor, having heart as open as the day to melt> ing charity. He is one of the rarest tra yelling companions have ever met in ali my journeyings. A faithful biography of this man would be one of the most anu. sing books in our language.
 happened to be passenger on the steamer "E. w. Stevens" coming up the Ohio last spring. and Jenny L;nd and her troupe. accompanied by P. T. Barnum, were on board.
 Evidently to beguile the tedium of this sort of still life. Barnum. in tine little groups of his friends. and his body guard exhibited little feats of slight oi-hand. which would have done honor to the im- mortal Blitz. In one of these a quarter of dollar disappeared 50 magically that for the life of me. l could not guess what had become of it.
 The barber. a colored man owned by the Captain, had been looking on, as it were. by stealth. and his superstitious notions Immediately invested the travel Ter with the. powers of league with the devil.
 The next morning the wt nder worker seated himself for the operation of sha. wing. and the colored gentleman vsntursd to dip into the mystery.
 ." Beg pardon, Mr. Barnum. but have heard a great deal about you and I saw more than l wanted to see last night. Is it true that you have sold yourself to the devil SO that you cen do what you have mind to o?"
 "Oh. yes. was the reply. "that was the bargain between us."
 "How long did you agree for 2" was the next question in order.
 "Only nine years." replied Barnum ; "I have had three of them already. Be. fore the other six are out. shalt find a way to nonplus the old gentleman--I have told him SO to his face
 At this avowal, . larger space of white than usual was seen in the darkey's eyes. and he inquired,
 "1s it not by this bargain that you got so much money 2"
 Certainly" said Barnum, i" no mat. ter who has money. nor where he keeps it--in his box or lill-or anywhere about him. have only to speak the words and 1t comes 2"
 The shaving was completed in silence, but the thoughts had been busy in the barber's mind, and he embraced the spec diest opportunity 10 transfer his bag of coin 10 the Iron Safe, in charge of the clerk of the boat. gl
 The movements did not escape the lynx eyes of the magician. and immedi- ateIy joke was on foot.
 And now hand me cent, said Bar mum ;"I will send it to his Internal Highness. and bring it back forthwith. ' A cent was handed to hm--it was toss-

 Att. Gen.-Have you any information as to th~ direct and indirect expense in. cured dy your town in consequence oi the residence of the accused init?
 Wit.-I have sir. We have in town and chargable to it, 25 paupers. made SO directly by the acts of the prisoner. by whom their property has been dissipated these 25 paupets cost us on an average $50 dollars per week for food, clothing, &c. this is $l.560 per year. In the common course of events not one of then would have been paupers had it not beer fer the intervention of the prisoner. .- And then, cir, our town bears its pro. portion of the county expenses, which proportion amounts to $l,34O more, twOthirds of which I have ascer tained by actual inquiry is to be traced directly to the prisoner: this would be $s04 more or $2. .554 our town expends every year more than it would if the prisoner never had set his foot in is. Besides this is the direct expense of his residence or more properly the retail price of his labors, for lie is not gentleman who works for nothing. though he often pre-. tends to do 1t. By an staal investiga- tion, l have found that lass year no less than 25, 900 gallons of his compcundi of various kinds were consumed in town.- This was little more than six gallons to every soul of our 1000 persons; or deduc,ing women and children. twenty i've gallons to every man. The prisoner charges 70 cents gallon for his medi- cine on an average, which would be SIG, ,oOO, or e2, 50 fer each individual Add to this sum 32,654, town and coun- ty expenses on the prisoners account. and we have . total of el:,554 as his bill against us in single year or SI25,540 for the last ten yearfs All this wc should save were ws once well quit If tha aeeused.
 At. Gsn.-The counsel for the de- fence can question the witness.
 i [The counsel for the prisoner declined any cross examination. and the attorney general then annoucec to tho court that he should rest the case without calling any more Wilnesses.
 The defence was then opened by Mr. sellinterest in speech of some length. He stated. in substance. that he should i prove the good character of his client for . long series of years: that he had re- ceiyed regular certificate of his mrd'- ] cal powes from a college of Physicians and surgeons; that tho existed and un- scrambled combination. embracing per. lsons in every class of society," to desttsy or drive him from the country.
