OF On "Wednesday, the 25th ult., Mr.. Lewis
NJ. Bell, while on the steamboat Balloon, lost
his pocket book containing $3.50 and papers Of
yaiac. which was found by one Of the deck
hands and handed Immediately to the clerk Of
the boat. Mr.. Bell inquired for the man who
found the book and offered to reward him libe-
rally, but the noble fellow refused to take any
thing, aud was only induced SO to do by great
urgency. Persons of such honest and noble
conduct canHOt be held too highly in the public
estimation.

The Shanghai Goats.

The Shanghai coats are amongst us. Seve-
raj months ago when the first one made It's ap-
pearance everybody stared at it, and thought it
looked outlandlsh;'' and when its owner
sported it-he only did that on extra occasions
everybody said, &" he's got on his long coat---
there must be something out-a courtng expe-
dition or something of the Sort" But in spite
of laughs and remarks its owner still stuck to
his shanghai, and after time another appeared
to keep it company, and thenta third and IL
fourth. And now we can number up some half
dozen of the "outlandish " looking garments,
and are beginning to become accustomed to the
sight Of them. Their short waists and long
tails don't strike us now as looking SO uery
queer; and we presume ere long we will be-
come .reconciled to the innovation of the
" derned furriners," and come to the conclu-
sion they are neat, beautiful and just the very
thing. The tailors, too, say they're bound tc
be all the rage, and we've got to wear 'em
whether or no. So clear the track, old fogieS
and make way for the Shanghais! Thus sailt
the Cecil Wkig.

ANOTHER AMERICAN VESSEL FIRED INTO

received advices Of another belIigcrent act
by the Cuban authorities upon the Amer
lean brig p. R. Hickbern. Stephen Ellis,
ir., master, bound from the port of Boston
to the port of Matanzas. The Union says
"While the brig was steering for the
port Of Matanzas, and but a few miles
from the coast, she was fred at by Span
iSh man of war. the ball from which pass
ed about half cables length astern Of
the brig. when she showed her colors.-
Shortly after, another ball was fred from
the man Of war, which passed directly
ahead of the brig; and soon after, the pO-
siton of the ships being relatively chang
ed, another was fired, which fell just be-
hind the brig. evidently thrown with the
intention of hitting the American vessel.
In few moments after, the officer of the
Spanish man of war came on board the
brig, and after examining her papers, al
lowed her TO go her way"

in what quarter sets the wind: He sees

ted, aud is anxious TO still keep on the
Atrong side. He does not speak quite 80
confidently Of the defeat of Mr.. Wise as
he did when he sent reporter to this
State to misrepresent his speeches.
Three-fourths of the little local cleo,
tons Of the last few months round about
the country have been carried, nominally
at least. by the Know-Nothings. Very
likely. too, they will carry the State OF
Virginia against Mr.. Wise by a large ma.
