ESCAPE OF MURDERER-PHELps, under
sentence of death at Albany for the murder
of his wife, escaped from Jail on the 18th
inst, by knocking down the jailor who came
to visit him in the cell. He was, however,
soon recaptured at Troy. When overtaken
by the officers, he was walking on the tow
path of the canal, toward his former home
He had no clothes on but his pantaloons,
shirt, and bombazine jacket and slippers
on his feet. He was nearly exhausted, but
begged as great favor of his captors that
they would go with him little further on
the road to the burying ground, where his
family and murdered wife lay, and where he
desired to be buried. The request was com
piled with, and the prisoner was then con
Quoted back to Jail.

lCOMMUNIcATED.l


"The President has retained several Internal
Improvement and Harbor bills ;--among them
those relating to the st. Clair Flats and St
Mary's River, Michigan.
Collins has been victorious in spite of the
veto. The whole measure was engrafted or
the Navy Appropriation bill, with the single
omission Of the clause repeating the power to
give notice to rescind the contract
The Pacific Railroad Bill was lost in the
House."
From the above, it appears President
PIERCE found it necessary to check improper
legislation by Congress to retain several i'm
proyement bills, &c. Would it not be well
for the Fusion Indignation Meeting at St.
Anthony to re-assemble, and ask for the
speedy removal Of the President y?

Cuba.

Late accounts from Cuba report, that
the Captain General continues to resort to
measures, which would be justifable only in
case of actual rebellion or invasion. In
deed, the degree of tyranny exercised is of a
character which would make general ur'
rising of the people of Cuba against Their
rulers an act of the highest virtue. How
long the present state Of things is to con.
tinue in that Island, it is impossible to con.
lecture 1t is probable that Spanish rule
there can be perpetuated in no other way,
and can it be continued long in this way?

thousand dollars, and her elegant and ex-
pensive paraphernalia. To her nephews
