H. Our summer visitors are daily
arriving, and taking possession Of their
houses, or their apartments at the large
hotels; within the last few days An I'M
usually large number have arrived
On no previous year has the season
commenced so earl and from the very
large number Of private houses which
have been engaged, and the numerous
suits OF rooms which have been secured
at the hotels, we arc fully warranted in
saying that the coming summer will be
the most gay and fashionable which
Newport Las ever seen. Almost all the
private houses on the hill have been
leased, and at excellent prices; there
arc few yet 10 be had. Those who
intend TO pass the summer here, should
engage their rooms at the hotels ut
once and then they will have an oppor-
iunty to make such selections as will
suit their desires.

sprain Of both wrists, especially the left
one.
"He Sas driving to Plymouth IN his

ward axeltree, with the carriage body
broke in two the axeltrce, of course
was at once drawn away from and let

the ground, throwing him and Mr.. Law
renee violently out.
"He saved his head at the expense
ofhis hands and arms, spraining them
severely and only grazing the skin on
his forehead He did not receive any
internal injury, or lose his senses for a
moment, but as soon as he recovered
his fec, and brushed the dust of II little,
walked into house near by, and sent
for a carriage which took him home.
9 He cannot write very well, although,
he fraDked one letter to Washington to-
day and the worst consequences which
we apprehend are a confinement of A

days about Msrshfeld with his arm in n

ITThe New York Herald has re-

hFFhc New ork Herald mas re-
sumed its old business OF attacking New
port, ald indirectly recommending sum-
mer visitors to 60 to Saratoga, instead
Of coming to Newport. The pretended
excuse for tins is that rs our General
Assembly has passed the Maine Law,
visitors will not be able 10 obtain liquor
here. This is all idle talk, and is indulg-
ed in by Bennett because for some years
past he has had strong hatred TO the
large hotels here. There is no tounda-
ton for what he says. The Liquor Law
does not allow any liquor. to be seized
or molested in any manner whatever,
unless i, is offered for sale neither can
you search any premises unless by
proof that liquor is there for sale
Dwelling houses cannot be scarched,-
and 81 man may Keep as much liquor as
he wants for the use Of himself and his
friends, and he may openly bring rs
much with him, and il cannot be dis
turbed. Our hotel-keepers and liquor
dealers will take care OF themselves,
their guests and their customers. Per-
sons who visit Newport this summer will
be able to, obtain, without the slightest
trouble, just as much liquor us they wish,
and at just as reasonable prices. There
is no law against drinking liquor, al lib
iium.

Immediately interested can be supposed
to trouble themselves about the never

ing OF Congress. AS TO other matters
they have been so long under considera-

single exception Of The measure for the
maintenance OF the Collins line.
Private bills have received rather
more attention than usual atihis session,
bu, still, not so much as they are entitled
to. Among the private bills that have
le'.ly PASSED both Houses, was one
which seems to have givenvery general

lief OF Charles G. Hunter, commonly
called Alvarado Hunter Having, ns
acting purser, become involved with the
Government, and standing on the books
AS debtor TO the Government, he was,
last September, stricken from the rolls
Of the navy, IN coniormity.wth the strict
regulations of the service. The bill
which has passed makes certain allow
ances claimed by him and justly due,
and thereby he is made the creditor, in
stead Of the debtor of the Government.
As a matter OF course, his restoration
will follow, and we understand that his
re appointment is about 10 be made.
His restoration 10 the navy will be hail
ed with much delight by his brother
officers, who consider him MS an orna-
ment to the service.

ELoPEMEST FROM ENGLAND CAP
On Thursday evening, officer Bowysr,
of the Chiefs Office, was called TO visit
the Aslor ouse, on business Of import
ance upon reaching the hotel, he was
met by the British Consul, whom the
officer accompanied TO parlor, and
was there introduced TO Colonel Thomas
A. Howard, Of the English army, who
had just arrived in the steamship Europa,
in pursuit Of an individual named DR..
Andrew pIummer. !, appears from the
statement made by Col. Howard, that
this doctor recently clipped from Brigh,
ton England, with young glrl, named
Miss En- ma PatIson, daughter of u
wealthy family residing at Brighton,
and came 10 the U. S. in the steamship
Niagara. 1t also appears, that DR.. Z.
and Col Howard were bosom friends,
therefore the latter placed the mos, nm
picir confidence in the Physician and
lew days prior to his absconding, hand
ed him fl 900 sterling, to deposit with
baker. The deposit was never made,
and the rogue Of course pocketcd the
funds, and came to America TO expend
1t. The full particulars being furnished
TO officer Bowyer, he at once took steps
10 ferret out the ,loring parties. A
sclegraphic dispatch was forwarded to
Boston, but before an answer was re-
ceived, officer T., wyer traced the couple
to apartments in the Irving. House. AS
the case was not one for cri ninal action,
The Officer advised Colonel Howard TO
procure immediately civil process for
his arrest. This course was taken and,
in the meantime, Mr.. Howard informed
the officer that his guest had made u
great hubbub about losing some bag
gage. Finally, officer Dowyer was in
troduced 10 DIR. Plummer by Mr.. Io-
ward and very politely requested him
TO walk over TO the Mayors Office, as he
believed there was some information
respecting n trunk lest by him. The
doctor walked over ; and, TO his utter
astonishmcnt, met Colonel Howard,
which seemed to affect him severely.
He was then taken into custody by tho
Sheriff, and locked up in the Eldridge-
street prison. Shortly after. the young
lady visited his Honor, Mayor Kingslan,',
at the City Hall and was shown letter
from her parrnts-brought by Colonel
H0ward-imp' oting her 10 return she

here, naturally enough those who felt themselves
hurt within doors, became outrageous when these ideas
got without, and felt it necessary TO rise up, and 1t
possible to over-awe and break me down as q
public man. Sir, it will require much more than this
illumination TO overawe in the discharge of my
public duties, to make neglect, at all times,
and upon all OCCASIONS fearlessly to utter my sen-
ments of public measures and public men. Bot the
great cause of this onset upon me, comes, repeat,
from what said in the other wing Of the Capitol. l.,
then and there, impoTed the presiding officer of that
convocation-ifh he about surrender me, to sur
render and such with me, prisoners Of

shot, and not be strung up on gallows erected by
executoners educateda at Ch!istana SyFacuse-that
when the halter was about my neck, should be Ia
ken by white men to the execution-ground, and not
be dragged there by ropes in African hands. Thus
