ANOTHER BAND OF ADvENTURERs.-The Lou
isville Courier speaks of the organization of
another band of Adventures. Their particular
field Of operation is not known, but, according
to the Courier, their design is said to be to take
possession of some one of the Mexican States,
to con6scate the lands and personal estate. and
so to reimburse themselves for their "services
in the cause of freedom" The expedition is
under the command of a distinguished Southern
gentleman, who has heretofore held several po
sitions of trust The expeditionists are said to
have the sympathy and expect the support, of
a strong party in Mexico. The expedition has
so far been organized with the most absolute
secresy, none of their movements have here
tofore transpired.

the following is an extract:
"HAvANA, June 10, 1855.
"MEssRs. EDITORS. Since my last advice, it
seems to have been determined, by the proper
ty holders of Cuba, belonging to what is called
the Creole or Patriot party to give their assent
to prompt manumission of their slaves, to
purchase Herewith the influence of the British
and French Anti-Slavery Societies in behalf of
the Freedom of Cuba, with their Governments
l hear it avowed that agents have left Cuba
some weeks since, to discuss the proposition in
England.
"The reasons assigned for this measure are,
that the result they propose is certain to obtain,
sooner or later, under the new rights and privi-
leges accorded to the negro population-their
underelevation to equal civil and political
rights, for which they are unqualified by color,
condition, and cultivation, and placing arms in
their hands for the public defence, when there
was no public necessity therefor, thus impair
ing subordination, and putting in jeopardy the
lives and property of the white inhabitants
They say that when they have endeavored to
strike for Freedom, under the hope of fraternal
aid from the people of the Union, their conf
dence has been won by secret agents of the
Government of the United States, and the in
formation obtained under pretence of service
and good faith, has been used to insure their
defeat"

NEWLY DISCOVERED PHEYICIAN INsCRIP-
TIoN.-Last January, most interesting dis
covery was made among the ruins Of the ancient
city Of Sidon, in Syria. 1t was an inscription
of great antiquity, in twenty-five lines, each
line containing about forty or fifty characters.
AS there were only very few remains of
Phenician writing known, all of which are very
short, together amounting to only small por-
ton ofthe newly discovered one, this is naturally
regarded with extreme interest by the learned.
The discovery was made by laborerS employed
by Turk, with the expectation of finding treas
ure, after having found $500 gold coins of
Alexander the Great, each worth So The in
scription was on the lid Of large stone sarco-
phagus, carved in fine Egyptian style. The
English and French Consuls both claimed the
sarcophagus, which was reburied by the officers
of Government, to await the decision of law.
Fortunately an American missionary, Rev. DR..
Van Dyke, from Albany, found an opportunity
to copy it, and sent fac simile to a friend in
that city. 1t proves that the inscription is in
ancient Hebrew characters, and that all of it is
Hebrew excepting few words, which perhaps
may be also. 1t appears to be mainly gene
illogical history of King of Sidou, buried in
the sarcophagus. Professor Gibbs, of Yale
College, has published the inscription in modern
Hebrew characters. Some interesting rock
chambers were opened near the spot.

The EARTH's RING.-Rev. Mr.. Jones, chap
lain in the navy, is the discoverer of the fact
that the zodiacal light is a ring around the earth
inside Of the moons orbit, and probably in the
same plane with that orbit. 1t is represented
to be not so dense as the ring Of Saturn, appa-
rently, though on that point, as well as on its
breadth, thickness, and exact distance from the
earth, it is not possible, at present, to form
reliable opinion. Mr.. Jones was on the Japan
expedition, and he embraced the occasion to
make observations every morning and evening,
for two or three years.

PRo-SLAvERY CONVENTION IN Missouri
The shareholders in Western Missouri are taking
measures to get up State Convention, for the
purpose of expressing their sentiments in re-
gard to their interests at this time. The St.
Louis Intellfgencer fayors the project. But it
desires that the Convention should be composed
exclusively of shareholders. 1t says it will in
that case I" be conservative" aud it then adds /;
"After lifetime residence in the South, we
can say this with truth that we never yet
knew mob composed of shareholders. Public
outrages have been committed in the South
mobs have been raised presses destroyed, per-
sons outraged, and life taken, and all in the
name of Slavery but we have never known an
instance in which shareholders themselves have
been the members of the mob. The actors have
always been lewd fellows of the baser sort =
panderers to position and wealth that they could
never aspire to-who thought by thus acting
they might gain favor from Shareholders, men
of wealth whom they were willing to serve as
masters. But we have never known shareholders
who do not spurn and despise the trucking
rowdies and law-breakers thus acting in their
name"

to the whole former salary, the debt is constant

ignorant people, that, in case of death by MUIR

man being has been suffered to die, whose life
