ARREST FOR MURDER-The Coldwater
Sentinel says that Samuel Green of Quincy,
Branch county, was arrested last week on u
warrant issued by Justice Eddy, charged with
the murder of his infant child, some three
days old, by choking it to death. After
hearing the testimony on the part of the
State, the case was continued for examina-
ton. The accused relies confidently on be-
ing able to refuse the charge, upon full
hearing of the case.

The brig J. S. Bethings from Newt Orleans
was quarantined for seven days on her arri-

cholera prevailed here. On the night of the
Sd inst, during the existence of the quaran-
tine, Col. Zelina, a passenger on the brig,
was removed by force of arms from the vessel
by the orders of Gen. Ullos, during the alb
sence of the captain, conveyed on board the
Mexican war-steamer Oslaca and taken to
Sisal. Thence he made his way to Merida,
where he was received with great JOY by the
populace This extraordinary conduct of the
Mexicans demands an explanation.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.

ARRIVAL or THE AFRICA.
BosroS, Oct. 25, 1855.
The Cunard steamship Africa, Capt Har-
rison, arrived here about 8 o'clock. this eve
ming. Her mails will be dispatched in the
early train to inorrow-due In New York at
P. NJ.
The following il the latest news per Africa
REsroNArroN OF GEN. SIMPsoN.-The
Daly Ne,ps says: ave believe there is no
doubt that Gen. Simpson has resigned his
command in the Crimea, and has recon-
mended Gen. Eyre as his successor. The
Government, however, has declined to accept
Gen. Simpsons resignation"
PARIS, Friday evening.-The Duke and
Duchess Of Brabant arrived here at o'clock,
and were received with great ceremony.
Fridays Constitutional, speaking probab-
ly on good authority, says that according to
letter from Kamiesh, dated September 0,
it was expected that in two days time the
floating batteries, each carrying thirty-six
guns, would open fire against the north side
of the harbor.
THE BANK OF ENGLAND.-The DAILY
Neacs, in its city article, says: "The most
serious change exhibited in the Bank Of En-
gland returns is the decrease of no less than
six hundred and fifty-nine thousand six hun
dred and forty-seven pounds in the coin and
bullion, and of seven hundred and seventy
eight thousand five hundred and seventeen
pounds in the reserve"
There is no later news from Odessa than
that embraced in the Halifax dispatch.
The Daily NeaUs says: "The advance of
the Allies on Perekop caused further rise
Of one-quarter per cent in Consols, making
the total advance of the day no less than
seventy-eights per cent compared with prices
quoted on Thursday, prior to the decision of
the Bank board being made known. The
latest quotation of this friday afternoon
shows a rise of one and half per cent. A
favorable feature upon which stress is laid is
the apparent cessation of the drain of gold.
Diminished anxiety was also expressed as re-
CARDS the results to be exhibited in this eve
ning's bank returns. At the same time it
would appear that real relief would be best
derived from immediate supplies from Au-
stralia. Such arrivals would be peculiarly
opportune at the present moment, as an ex-
cellent test would be afforded for ascertaining
if the bullion drain had really subsidized. The
discount market shows no change of import
ance. Money continues in good demand and
the supply is fair. In the stock exchange
money commanded four to four and halt
per cent in stock and exchequer bills"
The Bank of England returns, Oct. 6,
state the amount of notes in circulation at
twenty millions two hundred and ninety-two
thousand five hundred and fifty-fve pounds,
being an increase of one hundred and twenty
nine thousand eight hundred and seventy
pounds; and the stock of bullion in both de-
partments twelve million three hundred and
ninety-nine thousand two hundred and eighty
one pounds, showing decrease of four hun
dred and forty-n thousand six hundred and
forty-seven pounds when compared with the
previous return.
The steamship Arago arrived at Havre on

DEATH OF JUDGE WHIPPLE.-It is our
painful duty to announce the decease of Hon.
CHARLES w. WHIPPLE, one of the Justices
of the Supreme Court of this State. He ex-
pired at 20 minutes past o'clock on the
evening, of the 25 inst. at his lodgings at the
Michigan Exchange, after lingering illness,
during the last few days of which he was not
expected to survive from hour to hour.
Judge Whipple was widely known through
out our city and State, and possessed the es-
TEEN of all who knew him. For many years
he filled position upon the Supreme Bench,
where he earned a high reputation as faith
full officer and accomplished jurist. In pri-
vate life, he was noted for eminent social
qualities, and the intelligence of his decease
will CRATE harshly upon the ears Of the many
who have enjoyed the pleasure Of his ac-
quaintancc. bet. Free Press.

The national agricultural exhibition to-day
was successful beyond all expectation, the
number present being estimated at from co.
600 to 100000 persons. The receipts were
over $4,000. A great many could not get
in on account of the inability of the ticket
takers to collect the tickets The show COM
menced with grand cavalcade of truckmen,
between 600 and 700, making magnificent
appearance. Then came an exhibition of the
various classes of horses-among them the
blood horses Logan, Fashion and Matchless,
and also an exhibition of blood stock. In
the afternoon there was trot, in which eight
horses took part, for purses Of 5000 and 800.

prize, and Kate Miller the second. Genesee
won the first, second, and fourth heats

heat came of, VIM. Woodruff, of New York,
driver of Young America, broke his rein, and
the horse dashed against the rail and into the
crowd, throwing his driver, smashing the gig,
and running some distance down the course,
but was finally captured without serious
harm. The attendance to morrow promises
to be very large.
New YORK, Oct. p.
The steamship Ariel arrived this afternoon
from Havre. Her news is the same as that
by the Africa.
The Evening Post says it was rumored in
London the day before the Africa sailed, that
the six-wre cable which was being laid across
the Mediterranean from France to Algiers,
was cut and abandoned in gale of wind,
under circumstances very similar to those
which interrupted the operations of the New
foundland company last summer 1t was in
