An Arkansas widows Revenge.-On the
morning OF August 29th, says correspondent OF
: the New Orleans Trne Deha, writing from Hot
Springs, Arkansas, widow lady who keeps
spectacle clearinghouse here, and about whom
slanderous reports had been circulated on the pre-
vous evening, by man pretending 10 be gentle
company with her brother and another person, 10
nfict on the slanderer personal chastsement.
The brother and his friend were armed--one with
double-barrel shotgun and the other with a re-
vover.
They, the two men, walked up to the street
about one hundred yards, and met the slanderer,
who, il appears, was also armed. They took his
arms from him, and marched him down the street
opposite the house where the widow was. fully
! prepared to give him warm reception. She
was armed with raw hide. Her brother and his
friend advised the prisoner to stand and take
quietly what the widow was about TO give him.
Seeing no chance of escape, he had to do il,
though sorely against his will The widow COM
menced, and did not cease until she had admins
tered two hundred lashes, well laid on The man
then had his arms given up 10 him, and.was ad-
vised to leave the dggings, which he did.
Health of New OrIeans.--At meeting of the
board of health held to-day at IL O'clock resolution
was adopted declaring that no epidemic at present
existed in New Orleans. II is with profound salts
faction that we are enabled to announce to our
fellow-ctizens and TO the public abroad, this au-
thentc declaration of the entire cessation of the
scourge which has been among us. Our absent
citizens, whether accmated or otherwise may
now come to the city with perfect safety. Indeed,
their return is much needed and their presence
among again will be most heartily welcomed
We trust not many days will elapse before their
Y. places of business, their homes, and their accus-
toned haunts, will be once more gladdened by
their familiar faces. Strangers, too, may now
venture to come to our city, where they will be
received as usual with that genuine, hearty hospi
tally for which the Crescent city has always been
distinguished Picayune, 14th alt.
. Gottschalk's Concert.--The concert last even
ing was attended by large audience though not
so large as it should have been in view Of its ex
cellence. Mr.. Gottschalk verified the predictions
OF his friends here, and confirmed the eulogiums
bestowed upon him elsewhere He was raptur-
ously received, and his performances elected the
warmest enconiums. Mdlle. Henrietta Behrend
charming singer, and Mr. Aptopmas, harpist Of
great excellence, were also successful in their re-
II spective parts, and awakened warm enthusiasm
in the audience. We noticed many Of our first
musical critics and performers present, who gave
their testimony for Gottschalk's ability.

European Legion.-The Nesc York Journalo of
Commerce learns that, on the arrival Of the recent
i war news from Europe, private meeting of some
exiles, of different countries, took place in that
city, and that by their unanimous decision, Major
Leonard p Terzucanowski, formerly aidecamp
j of Gen. Murowslaski, and afterwards commander
in-chief of the French legion in Sicily, was APP
pointed TO form in this country volunteer legion,
intended to sail for Constantinope that they chose
him as their chief and swore to render him re-
spect and obedience. If there should be no war,
there will be no occasion for their services
i Latest from Bermuda.-The disease seems to
Il have been engendered here, and sets at def
n ance medical skill II is most fatal to Europeans
particularly among the military and convicts at
Ireland island and it is estimated that one-half Of
those who attacked have died. The wind at
present is from the northeast, which, under Provi
dence, may have the effect of mitigating the dis
order which, at first, was disposed to think was
cholera in another form, but find it generally
through, and sometimes carries off whole families
which has induced me to forego that opinion.
Some persons suppose that it is an African fever
which has been imported, but the channel cannot
be ascertained The fact is, every one-medical
men and al--are at fault. AS the vessel via Bal

4 worst is passed, and that the next accounts from
Bermuda will entirely alay the anxiety Of friends.

the Portsmouth Chronicle that the schooner Eliza,
i Captain Furber arrived at Portsmouth on Mon
day from the bay of st. Lawrence, with 100 bar
res of mackerel, the result of three months fish

weather has been such for the past six weeks in
the bay, that Is barrels only have been caught in
that time.
