THE SMYRNA AFFAIR.-The name of The Com.
mander Of the ST. Louis, who behaved so CALAMITY
at Smyrna, is Duncan N lnsraham. Heis South
Carollnian. Let his name be remembered; for in
that affair, he behaved like a genuine American,
who ieels that his country is with him, wherever he
sails, and who has the spirit and resolution to vind
cate It's honor. In the last of the ''Europe'' letters
OF the New York Times, which some people tviH
lmpute TO kossuh because the Times encourages
tnem to do so, we find the following on this AFFAIR."
"Why, sir, that's gIorious,-thal's republican,
Sorry not TO know yet the name of the gallant Off
cerj but so much know that he, by this single
act, did more to raise the honor, dignity. and repu
tation OF the United States in the opinion Of the
world, than all your unrepubcan foreign diplomacy
mas done Tor years and years past. Also there is
out one word about the matter through all Europe:
f1onoT TO our gallant Yankee brethren!' saws every
Englshman-Whig and Tory, equally; ''Honor to
republican AmeT1ca!' says every honest man in En-.
rope The virtue of the citizen reflects his own
honor upon his country, Rejoice in t-enioy YOUR
share in it-bu aso mind the moral of the strain.
BY the universal applause with which the civil
lzed world is greeting the noble of your gallant
countryman, you may see how easy il would be for
the United States TO command the respect and the
admiration OF the outward world, and to assert
proud standing Tor the republican principle in the
transactions Of the World. Nothing more is reou
ed, but only that all your public lunctionares abroad
civil and military, should be animated by the same
sentiments that noble fellow, your gallant captain,
appears TO be; nuthng more is required but only
that IN whatever position abroad, you should remain
what yoa are at home Repl.biicaasF proud of YOUR
countrys ireedOn and sensible Of its moral dgnityl
and, be sure OF 1t, within turn of the hand Re-
publican America stands higher than whatever other
power on earth"

WILD SPORTS OF THE METRoPoLIs-C Can.
tWe Of a Mad Or-Between three and four O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, an Infatuated OK escaped from
the cattle market at the Bulls Head Third avenue
and IAN down the avenue at full speed, dispensing
people IN all directions ,as he travelled along. When
arriving at the corner OF Fifteenth street a Iaborer
named Patrick Kennedy,was standing with his back
towards The OK, mixing mortar; the animal at once
made Tor poor Pats rear, and before he had warning
to lurn,Ihe OK elevated him six feet in the air
and then passed on TO other objects attracting his
attention on the street.
The afirighted laborer luckily descended softly into
bed OF his own mortar, when he exclaimed TO his
comrades who came to his aid, ooh! Pm Kill! Pm
Kill" However, on being extracted from the mortar
scrhped down, and washed off he was found to be
more frightened Than "kif," having received onl,
slight brtIse or two. lie was able TO resume his
labor.
The OK, however, not daunted, proceeded down
Fifteenth street to Irving place. and at Seventeen

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW learn that
DR.. Johnson, a physician of Cambridge, is the
author of the article in the last North Ameri-
can Review. which, believe, you have noticed,
as containing cheering views of depotism, and
hopeful auguries of its introduction into this
country. l mention this fact, because the article
has been quoted from but do not allow the
propriety of noticing it in any form. The North
America is private affair-a Unsupported
solely for the enjoyment of a few elderly and re-
spectacle gentlemen, who, in the pursuit of
wealth, are obliged to be osted about, and per-
haps even abused, by the common people; and
whose principal opportunity to enjoy their favor
lite depOtism is when they sit down in their med
laval arm chairs, slip on the feudal dressing
gowns, thrust their feet into Car shippers and
read the North American. The work ought not
to be printed, for a sufficient number of copies
could be made in manuscript, to supply the de-
maud, and these, quantity Omamcnted and illus
trated in the antique style, would be still more
agreeable to the readers, for the ant of printing
is, of ITSELF considered, on the whole, an innova-
ton, by your true conservative. You may ask
why is not English toryism, IN the London Quar-
terly and Blackwood, patronized by these people?
To some extent it Isl but English toryism is
not quite so pure an article as we have in Cam
bridge and Boston. 1t is mischievously alleged
with anti-slavery, anti-mining- abuse, anti-fac-
tory oppression, and these are not agreeable to
your American tory, who finds nothing of the
sort in the North American Review nothing to
disturb his agreeable visions of Russian and Aus
trian felicity pleasure excursions to Siberia hap
Ply groups of citizens enjoying the knout, and so
on. The North American ought to be as private
to these people as their dinners. Why should
newspapers blab of this quarterly stimulant to
their absolutistical appetite, any more than of
the lamb and green peas, first of the season,
which the servant carries home from the market?

FLAW NOT IN THE LAw.-The Office Of the
Clerk Of the city Of Portland was robbed early in
June last, and the indictments, together with all the
accompanying papers, in the liquor cases, (some 80
or 40 in number) then pending in Cumberland coun-
ty, were stolen from the Clerks Office together with
the docket itself. The matter was kept secret in
the hope of discovering the guilty parties, so that
when The Court commenced the Clerk appeared with
his docket, and the cases called as usual
But, as the time approached for the trials, The Coun
ty Attorney was obliged to state the facts, and the
parties escaped without a trial.
