The Boston Journal relates an authentic account OF
neglect received at the hands Of certain American
Consuls by Capt. Leach, master of the ship Strelna
of Boston. This ship was cast away near Revel in
the Gulf of Finland, the pilot running her on the
rocks After the ship was stripped the captain dis
charged his crew. The place being in state OF siege
by the Russian Government, he ordered to get his
crew out of the way as soon as possible. Three oil
them went to El.ineur there being no Consul at Luz
bec the Consul at the former place would have moth
ing TO do with them The mate went to Riga, but the
Consul refused to advance him the funds to 60 theuce
At Mcneil be Jared no better. They could get nothing
from the Consuls because they were cast away IN nus
STA aud did not go to to
could not 90 because the Russian Government would
not permit them So these brave tars we're left deso
late wrecked paupers in foreign lands where we have
Consuls! The Administration at Washington should
better provide for the contingencies which our COM
nerce has in the European war.

The bark Aaron j. Harvey arrived here to-day from

quest to stend his trial for the murder of woodcuter
named Myers, whom he killed in the woods In Washing

months since.
1t appears that Miller at work with another
cutting wood, when he quarrcled with Myers, who
employed an adjoining farm; fight ensucd between
them, and Myers killed by Miller lie then escaped
to Camden, and from there went to New-York in the
steamer Delaware. In that City he shipped to London,
where he Gays he confessed his crime to the Consul but
was rot sent home as he wished to be.
Hearing at Port.auPrince that the working with
him accused of MURDER and would probably be
viced TO bis life lie went to the COnsal and con-
essed the crime. He then placed board the bark,
and sent home 70 be tried
He has repeated the story hero, and manests

an attempt will be made to choose Delegates to the

be attempted. 1t will degrade the election into

We learn from The Philadelphia Register that the
friends of the late John S. Skinner propose to testify
their respect for bis public services and personal
worth by raising $4,000, of which $4,000 is to be
presented to his widow, and 81, 600 employed in
placing block inscribed to bis memory in the Wash
iDgton Monument. The idea of testimonial in honor
Of Mr. Skinner we heartily approve, but beg to sug-
gest that the putting up such block will not be an
appropriate way for ts realization That structure
is designed a. mark of respect to the character and
career of Washington, and other monumental stones
have no business in it, Moreover, we object to Civ
ing thousand dollars under any pretepse toward
raising that monument because it is ugly aud inap-
prOpriate that it's completion will be misfortune
which good men ought not to aid in Let the $4,000
be raised if possible, and all given to Mrs. Skinner
but don't Dure the recollection of her late husbands
consistent and useful life by connecting it with any
such perversion of patriotic feeling as the deformed
and senseess design Of the Washington Monument.

with a prospect of heavy lift from the Know
