JEFFERSON AND LAKE PoNToHARTRAIS RAIL
RoAD.--W had occasion some time ago to speak
in rather harsh terms of the management of the

grievances to the notice of the company, that
they might remedy them. Since then we have
made several trips over the road, and find the
conductors, ticket agents and all in any wise
connected with the road oblging, courteous

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1858
THE CHINESE MISSION.

Several of the eastern journals, we perceive,
Animadvert rather severely upon the conduct of
Commodore Aulck, attached to the Chinese
Mission, upon the presumption that recent in
telligence conveyed through the medium Of
private letters be correct. The failure of Com
missioner Marshall, in an anticipated reception
at Canton, and the withdrawal Of the Saratoga
by Commodore Aulick, leaving Mr.. Marshall
no means Of quitting Canton when he desired,
are matters of some moment, and the last de-
mands an investigation at least. From the first,
however, we have had our misgivipgs Of the sue
cess Of the Chinese Mission in the present dis
tractei state of that country but if the objects
for which the expedition was planned, and thus
far carried out, at considerable expense to the
Government should miscarry through the extra
oficiousness and assumption of undelegated
power by any one, no matter how exalted in
station, let this government administer a rebuke
that will not soon be forgotten, and deter others
from acting in like manner in future.
The mission was delicate one, and great
care should have been taken TO have sent on
such an errand the best diplomatic talent, and
the coolest, wisest heads in the Navy Commo-
dore AuEck, we have reason to believe, is not
one of the cool, calculating kind. He is not one
of those who can advise and be advised, but
rather prefers presumption of authority, act
ing upon his own responsibility, regardless in
some degree of consequences.
We do not wish to be considered as condemn
ing Com. Auliek without hearing False rep
reservations may have been made, which his an
will be the case; but until he does arrive and
clear up to the satisfaction of Government the
grave allegation in this instance, We hold him
morally and virtually responsible for this first
partial failure of an enterprise that has engaged
the attention of all classes of this nation, and
from which, if brought to favorable conolu-
sion, benefits of vast magnitude would have been
realized.

DEATH FROM ItYDRoPHoBIA-Sing uiar Case
VIM Gray a lad Is years of age, died on Mon
day night, ON board the sloOp Armada, lying at
the foot of 6lst street, East River, having exhi.
bited, previous to his death, marked symptoms
Of hydrophoba. Coroner Wilhelm held an in
quest, yesterday, upon the body, when Captain
Menerle, master of the sloop, stated that the
deceased had been employed on board the YES
sci for a month past; that on Friday last, he
complained of dizziness in his head and pain in
his back and limbs. He grew worse, and on
Saturday had high fever, but could not drink
or even look at water. On Sunday, physician
was sent for, who gave him medicine and fur
Their attended him; he foamed at the mouth and
appeared frightened at every thing he saw, and
when the water was shown him or even spoken
of he became very much excited; while sick he
told Mr.. Menerle that about four and half
years ago he was bitten by his own dog, which
at the time, he thought was not mad soon after
this he sold the dog, and lost sight of him.
DR. Bumenthal, of No. 402 Fourth street,
made an external examination of the body, upon
which he found no marks of violence, but dis
covered symptoms which led him to conclude
that death was caused by hydrophobia.
The jury concurred in this opinion, and n YER
dict to that effect was rendered by them. my.

two days, convicted. The jury were out but
few moments. Motions for new trial and in

Monday Isaac was sentenced to be hanged on
Friday the Oath day of June. The defence was
very ably conducted by Mr.. Lamkin, of Pike,
John IL. Duncan, Jr., Of Jefferson and G. NJ.
Davis, of Natchez. There is no doubt in the
mind of any one of the correctness of the YER
dict and of the action of the court. The Judge
remarked that on the former conviction he Ind
granted a new trial because of want of sufii-
cieut evidence on some point, but that now he
had no doubt of the perfect correctness of the
verdict Isaac, when asked if he had anything
to say why the sentence of the law should not
be passed upon him, merely said that he had
nothing to say except that 'sthey had sworn his
