English papers contain accounts
Of piece Of petty vandalism suspect
ed to have been perpetrated either by
an FIX Governor, Fix Senator, etc, Of
Louisiana, or some one in his compa-
NY The act referred to, occurred at
Stratford-upon-Avon, in the house
where Shakespeare courted Ann Hatha-
way, and consisted in cutting from the
family Bible the hy.Ieaf on which was
written some of the family records.
The knowledge of the disgraceful act
had caused great Indignation in the
neighborhood, and measures had been
taken to ferret out to a certainty the
offender The only evidence, so far,
tracing the act to the party of the dis
tingnished personages alluded to is the
fact that they visited the room but a
few moments before the leaf was miss
ed, and one Of them was observed near
the Bible. As soon as the sacrilege
was discovered, the proprietors Of tile
cottage made inquiries as to who
were their visitors, when they learned
their names and residences.

Sir HBpsop LowE.-Mr. Walsh,
in a late letter from Paris to the
N. Y. Journal Of Commerce, noticing
recent English publications, says
The three volumes of the history Of
the captivity Of Napoleon, from the
letters and journals Of Sir Hudson
Lowe, afford a eopious theme to the
reviewers. Sir Hudson's memory is
treated by The Literary Gazette as
that of man upon whom sheer and
malignant calumnies were heaped,
whose real character end great merits
were not understood The Athenaum
does not think that his fame is cleared,
or that the strenuous reasoning Of his
able champion--his biographer, Mr..
Forsyth, an eminent lawyer, and the
author Of "Hortensisus' will materi-
ally affect the verdict Of the world

TIE LATE CotLEcToR A'r SAN
FRANc1sco.--Mr. John A. Collier,
Of Binghampton, in this State brother
to the late collector at San Francisco
and one his stfreties, has come out IN
a card, denying the newspaper state
ments that the late Collector is q de-
faulter, and that the Government had
ordered his arrest. He says Of the
first statement, that, if it be true, nei-
Their he nor his brother have yet
heard Of it and of the latter, that
not one cent is justly due to Govern
ment by the late Collector, and that,
so far from defrauding the United
States, his brother stands more like
" chance Of being defrauded himself. |
He, and his silreties, are anxious to
walk up and settle, and are only AVA
ting a favorable opportunity to pay
their respects to the present Admin
istration for that purpose. George
Law is the surety on the COLLECTOR
bond.
Horace Greeley gave public notice,
sometime since, in the New York Iy1-
b1tne, that he would compensate lib
orally any of the mediums who
would report for the Tribune, every
morning, a synopsis Of the events Of
the day in Europe, in time for the next
mornings edition payment to be
made on the arrival of the next sue

brought hv the steamer confirmed the
