AS an evidence OF this, permit US to describe
scene which occurred on Broad street Wedues-
day afternoon. About three O'Clock, a stout ne
gro fellow might be seen lettering near Mr.
Moores store apparently engaged in critically
examining the latest fashions. Suddenly he
snatched up several cloth caps placed on a case
outside the door, stuffed them in his bosom, and
walked OFT up the street at rapid pace. Mr..
Moore happened not to witness the operation,
and therefore did not know that he had been rob-

caps ran into the store and told him of the occur
renee. Heinstantly rushed into the street, shout
ing "Stop thief" and enjoyed the satisfaction of
seeing the rogue arrested he had lost his breath
by running and shouting. The caps were taken
from the fellow, aud the police cal led in. The
negro spent the remainder of the afternoon and
the whole night in the cage, and yesterday ap-
peared before the Mayor, when he gave his name
as John Dean, and claimed Mr. Joseph R. An
derson as his master The Mayor directed the
officers to take the rogue below and scourge him
for the offence.

THE COPYRIGHT TREATY.

1t is stated that copyright treaty between
England and the United States was negotiated
by Mr. Webster and Mr.. Champion short time
before the death of the former-that it has been
sanctioned by the British government and only
wants the approval of the Senate to make it n
law. The following is said to be the substance
of its provisions:
"Under its authority, the authors of "books.
of dramatic works, of musical compositions, of
drawings paintings, of sculptures of engravings.
of Autographs, and of any other works whatso-
ever of literature and the fine arts,'' pu bished
and copyrighted in the United States, will, ipso
facto, enjoy all the lights and privileges which
an English copyright would insure to them in
Great Britain aud in like manner, British Co.
pyright will possess the same legal authority in
the United States as an entry in the clerks office
gress. The only conditions imposed on Anne:
can authors are the registration of their copy
rights ia Stationers' Hall, and strict compliance
with the laws of Great Britain in respect to the
deposite of copy of their work in the British
Museum; while their English brethren must
register at Washington, and deposite copies of
their works in the institutions appointed by law
to receive them. The copyright of translation
of a work in foreign language will, on compli-
ance with these fomalities, enjoy the same va
| dty ia both countries as that of an orig nal
work, without, of course, interfering with the
| right of any other party to translate the same
work. The publication of articles i'll periodicals

PERPETUAL MoTIoN-A Paris letter of the
goth January, mentions that the necessary papers
for taking out patent for invention said to re-
alize perpetual motion was to come by the
next steamer to Washington. A locomotive, one.
fifth the size of railroad engine, has, says the
inventor, been working continually since June.
This sounds rather improbabe; but if we are to
believe in the success of the Ericsson motor, it
does not do to be increduous about anything.

OfKossuth and his reported return to this
country the n Y Courier says:
1--WE speak advisedly when we say, he dare
not return. We speak from knowledge aud the
evidence of our own eyes, when we say, that he
requited the generosity of our people by the
basest ingrattude, and that before he skunk from
our shores under tho alias of Alexander Smith,
he signed a contract to head an expedition from
this city against a country with which we are at
peace, in open defiance OF our Neutrality Laws.
This say we know from the evidence oil our
own eyes. before the Infamous contract was de-
posted in the Department of State; aud II he
ventures again to come among us, our Cover n
ment, whether Whigo Democrat, will not hes
tate TO arrest and punish him"

DIFFICULTIES IN CUBA.

"A havana leCter OF the 2Sth ult, says:
An event has recently happened here which,
syllls. probably lead to serious consequences 1t
by Captain Hamilton, have been coiiuornH--.---'
The third, brig while in possession OF the
prize crew, was suddenly and torcibly taken from
them, by party of Spanish soldiers, NOR
ming recently, before duybreak, and before re-
sistance could be made. The English captain
(Hamton) prepared for immediate recapture
and manned his boats for that purpose, but the
English consul interlered, and advised waiting
instructions from home. Thus the matter re-
mains, while, it is said, the soldiers are busy In
effacing the evidence which would condemn her
as SLAYER. 1t is believed the Queen Mother is
the owner of the brig, and hence this bold mea-
sure of the Captain General Meanwhile,
much ill-feeng is manifested by the officials to-
wards the English residents.
P. S. The affair l mention Of the seizure by
the Spanish soldiers of the prize ship in charge
Of the British is so gross outrage. that serious
consequences are 'apprehended, aud Captain
| Hamilton is much censured for not retaking the
| brig at onee, without consultation with the con-
| sui, whose orders alone prevented Captain Ill.
| from carrying out his purposes. 1t seems
| that Captain Hamilton consulted with Captain
Hons, of the United States s!oop Cyane, who
| advised the retaking ut all hazards. But he de
cided to await instructions from home. The pa
| pefs here make no mention of the event.
Henry Il. Weightman, formerly clerk in til e
! Washington city Post Office, who has been con-
fned in Jail for some time on the charge eli pnr-
! Joining letters from the Post Office containing
money, made three attempts to take his own lie
"Wednesday. At noon he took ten drops OF Prus
sic acid; repeated the dose at O'Clock, and cut
his throat at o'clock. At last accounts he was
still alive, notwith standing he had severed his
arynx aud made several deep flesh wounds around

bloody civil war The city has been bcsicscd

thousand cut.throats, led by men who were,
during the time of ll,sas, his most vile instru-

You can consequently imagine tho amount OF

the tlronts oftheir prisoners, and the outsiders
tear some apart by tying each leg to horse,
and driving them in different directions. They

OF the affair that they would enter and sack the

the cause of their not entering, bu, they are
daily wreaking their vengeance on tho unpro-
