"Our friend, Park Benjamin, gave in the
latter part of January, highly successful
series Of popular lectures in Philadelphia
He has been honored, as we are glad to learn
by an invitation to repeat these lectures. from
some of the very first names in our sister city
gentlemen of the highest responsibility, who
intellectually and morally, are unexcelled by
any similar number, in this or any city in the
Union, viz: Judge Kane, Of the Circuit Cour,
of the United States Judge w. D. Lewis

W. II. Dayton, P. Mccall, T. Dunlap, Thos
NJ. Kane, John NJ. Read, I. X. Tyson, Fred

Benjamin has accepted this highly honorable
invitation, and is to give five of his entertain.
ing discourses in the second week in March
at the spaciousl and beautiful Musical Funt
Hall in Philadelphia. IN. Y. Mirror.
Mr.. Benjamin, we learn, is to lectur,
tonight, at the Smithsonian institution
on "Americanisms." He is to give also
another prose lecture for the institution
on Wednesday evening. OnFriday even
ing last, when the satirical poem or
Fashion" noticed in our last paper
was delivered, the crowd was so great
that hundred had to content themselves
with standing room, and more thar
thrice that number went away, unable
to get admission.
Mr.. Benjamin has been urgently re-
quested to repeat the poem on Fashion
and to give one or two more lectures or
his own account. Carusi's Saloon, as
most accessible, has been suggested, and
it would doubtless be well filled, should
Mr.. Benjamin conclude to remain and
accede to the desire which has been gen.
orally expressed.

FRoM GuAyMAs, MEXICO. The
San Francisco Herald Of Septic, Fab
fishes the foiloning important news,
from Guay,uas. We are DISPOSED TO be-
l.eve, however, that the information is
net altogether accurate:
Capt. Johnson left Fort Yuma about
tke 81 Of September. On the ii, q
party Of two Germans end che Amer
lean re .ched the Colorado direct from
Gaaymas, which place they l.rs aI.e.t
tie 10th Of Angst. They report thar
Count RaoGsscs Boulbou arrived q,
GuaJmas in the early part Of August in
a small boat, accompanied by a few
friends. He Immediately landed placed
himself at the head of tie French
troops in the service Of Sonora, and WAS
by them received with enthusiasm and
delight.
Afef organizing bis force, he made a
demonstration against the Government,
whereupon the Sonoriars turned out in
force, aided by one company eff Germans
under Captain Scafeldt, and one Of Irish
and the other foreigners, with two hea;y
cannon and ore howitzer. The Ger
mans and Irish stuck closely to the So
norians. a desperate conflict took
pllce In the streets Of Guaymas between
the opposing forces.
The battery was served with effect
by the 6 Germans and IRISH, and numbers
OF the French fell II every discharge.
Still headed by Boulhon, they charged
furiously up to the very mouth of the
cannon, Lut were again and again re-
pulsed with great loss. .
Eouibon S force amounted to nearly
400 men, al of whom are represented
to have fought with desperate courage.
But the Germans and Irish with their
cannon, could not be dislodged, while
the Aexicans, taking heart, assailed the
French on ali sides.
In tie midst Of tie conflict, Boulbon
challenged the Colonel Of the Sonorian
forces to single combat. 1t was accept
ed, and as they were approaching each
other, Boulbon was struck in the neck
with an eseopette bali and fell, severely
wounded, from his horse.
The Sonorians, Germans snd Irish
set up a shout Of triumph, and the
French Immediately ceased firing, and
surrendered Boulbon was taken and was
to be executed BY the Sonorians, even
in his wounded condition, Immediately.
Many of his companions would probably
share bis fate, as the Mezieans were
wild with exultation. From go to 100
Frenchmen are said to have been killed
in the conflict Thus, unhappily, has
ended the life of one of the noblest and
most chivalrous spirits of the age. He
was a hero, and his fate will be mourned
by his countrymen here, land and regret
ted by all who admire true nobility Of
soul, everywhere.

MURDER IN STOCKTON The San
Joaquin Republican says that ION Friday
morning last, man named Ephraim
Swift was found dead in his house, near
the Stockton Bakery, with one side of
bis skull broken in, evidently with an
iron bar, which was found in the room.
The superstition is, that the deceased
was killed for his money, Of which he
was said to possess large amount. Mr..
5. was born in Wareham, Mass, and
has been a resident of this city since
1850. He was about so years of age,
and was,a single man. On Sunday, a
person whose name We did not learn was
arrested on suspicion of committing the
murder, but as nothing could be proven
against him, he was discharged. May
or Burlington has offered reward Of
$500 for the apprehension Of the muir
derer."
