other of them must be on the popular
side, and both will alike profit, from
the success of either.

From Nicaragua.-By the Gren-
ada at New Orleans we have intelli-
gence ria Aspinwell from Nicaragua,
the scene of the Walker and Kinny
fillibustering expeditions.
Walker, it is stated, continues to
hold possession of San Juan del Sud
has force of 200 men, 60 of whom
are Americans, and the remainder
Nicaraguans-that he expected 100
men and two cannon from Realejo,
and that he would, on the RECEIPT of
this reinforcement, attack Rivers,
where government forces are posted.
The steamer Sierra Nevada, having
arrived at San Juan del Sud with a
large quantity of arms for the govern
ment party, Walker went on board
and after declaring that he bore no
hostile feelings and destined no inter
ferance against the affairs of the
Nicaragua Steamship or Transit Com
panies, he told the Captain he never
theless cod not permit him to deliver
up arms to his foes, when he had it in
his power to prevent-and the Cap
tain hand them over to Walker.
COL. Kinney has concluded treaty
with the Indians on his possessions,
which will prove of the utmost impor-
tauce and benefit becsuse it will enable
them, through the means and assis-
lance of the Indians, to lay open with
greater ease the resources of the
country, with which the latter acknowl-
edged Themselves to be intimately
acquainted. The Colonel is daily ex-
pecting more men from the States on
their arrival the aspect of things will
be changed; roads will be cleared, and
many other things will be done, which
the want of labor now prevents.

ATTARK ON ALDERMAN DURELL.-A
most outrageous attack was made on
Alderman r. II. Durell on Gravier
street on Thursday evening. by some
one who came up behind him as he
was quietly walking along the street
aud dealt him blow with slung shot
or something similar, which felled him
to the earth, and rendered him forthe
time being insensble. He was carri-
ed home in cab. 1t appears that
while in coffechouse some persons
came in and pointed at him, making
use of very opprobious, terms, and
calling him a " traitor" etc, and after
he went, they followed him with the
above result.
The evening papers states that the
engineer of the Carrollton Railroad,
just as the cars were leaving Carroll
ton on the previous evening, was at.
tackled by some ten or twelve persons
who stabbed him twice, and very sever
ly, without any provocation. 1t was
supposed he bad been spotted"
And here we would like to enquire
under what sort of a government we
are living, when such deeds are per-
petrated with impunity, or whether we
have any government at all-Bulletan.

RoME.-The Emperor of France
has made strong demonstrations at
Rome advising the Pope to secularize
the administration, and to accept the
code Napoleon. which for about teu
years has already been at former
time the law of the country, and there

declined to accept the advice, and
Napoleon's anger to Pic TX on the
refusal, is said to have hceu couched
in rather strong and ominous Ian.

The respondent was the ringleader in robbing
the owner of his property. He then leaves
town, and this morning early has a conference
with his companion in crime.
Mr.. Vandyke went on to argue that the re-
turn to the writ was not only an evasion but
absolute falsehood, and that the parties were
under the control of the respondent. The Dis
trict Attorney compared the respondent to a
pickpocket, who steals purse, and hands the
plumber to confederate. He urged, in con-
cusion, that the respondent had not purged
himself Of contempt, and that he was liable for
it and for perjury.
The respondents counsel, after consultation,
determined to leave the matter to the Court for
decision, without argument.
Judge Kane said the case was so grave, and
its consequences might be so very grave to the
respondent, who might even pass into the con
dition of prisoner, that he was DESTROYS, be.
fore passing upon the two motions, to have
time for reflection. In the mean time, bail
might be taken in $4,000, for further hearing
on the second motion, ION the charge of per,

He would also say, at the risk of its being
considered extra judicial, that if it is really in
the power of the defendant to produce the
bodies of the three persons, it would seem to

A Know Nothing demonstration took place
at Cincinnati, night or two since, the object
of which was to protest against the nomination
of Mr.. Chase. The Gazette states that the
number present fell far short of what was an
ticipated-there not being present more than
three thousand, including Democrats and Free
Sellers. 1t may be regarded as failure; and
the Conservative PHILADELPHIA american well
remarks, that the resolutions adopted, by their
Pro-Slavery character, will be of great benefit
to Mr.. Chase. No rational man doubts his
triumphant election, after this Hindoo fzzle.
Mr.. Sumner, the eloquent Senator from Mas
sachusetts, narrowly escaped with his life, from
fall from buggy few days ago. The acct
dent happened near Rock Island, Illinois

MISSOURI AFFAIRs.-The friends of Slavery
in Missouri have lately held a Convention at
Lexington, in that State, with view of propa-
eating their principles by holding up the argu-
ment of terror to all wicked doubters and dis
believers. They recommend the Legislature
to pass laws retaliating upon Massachusetts, and
other States which have passed laws for the
protection of the liberty of their citizens against
the Unconstitutional encroachments of the Flu
gitive Slave Law.
The string of resolutions adopted is a great
deal longer than the decalogue, but this is their
sum and substance. They will amount to moth
ing We regard the present excitement and
Juror in Missouri as hopeful sign of the times.
1t indicates the presence and pressure of the
Free Soil clement, and may be regarded as the
expiring struggle of the Demon for breath. The
fate of Slavery in that great State is sealed, and
a few brief years will reveal its doom. Missouri
is the great highway of emigration westward
and the foul stain cannot fail to be washed out
by the swelling tide. G.
