THE KINNEY EXPEDTIoN.-The steamship
United States was to have sailed Yesterday
afternoon for Nicaragua, but was prevented BY
the presence of formidable naval force
stationed in the East River to prevent her
departure. The vessels engaged in the service
are three steamers and sloop-of-war Early
yesterday afternoon the steamer Corwin took
her position nearly opposite the foot of Six
teenthst., so as to guard the passage through
Hell-Gate the propeller City of Boston was
stationed about opposite the foot of First-st,
and one of the Revenue cutters cast anchor
near the foot of Grand-st.
At noon to-day the steamer Vixen came IN
abreast of the United States and anchored lust
off her dock at the foot of Eight-st., so that
any attempt to escape would be frustrated at
the outset. All through the last night steam
was kept up and the Government steamers were
ready for immediate service
Our Reporter paid visit to the United
States this morning, when the officer of the
deck informed him that the vessel had all Of
her coal on board and was ready for sea-
When she would sail or what cargo she would
take out to Nicaragua he was unable to say.
He was not aware that she was about to sail
on Monday afternoCa. He was the engineer
of the United States aud had not vet received
any orders
On every point he was "Know-Nothng y
He did know one thing however, that if his

PANY.-The case of Charles H. Browne VS.
New York and New Haven Railroad Company
which has been on trial in the Supreme Court at
Ipswich, Massachusetts,, was finished on Satur.
day. The case was brought by DR.. Browne,
who was one of the survivors at the Norwalk
accident, for injuries which he received at that
time. The trial lasted for several days, and
the principal question was, as to the nature of
the injury, which was supposed to have brought
on disease of the heart. Many of the most
eminent physicians of Boston were examined
on both sides Of the case The jury returned
verdict for the plaintiff for sixteen thousand
dollars.

Ra- The census of 1850 shows that the old
est person living in the United States was lao.
This person was an Indian woman, residing in
North Carolina. In the same State was an
Indian aged 1875, negro woman ILL., two
black females ll0 each, one mulatto male l20,
and several white males and females aged from
106 to ia. In the parish of Lafayette, Louis
lana, was female black aged 100 In sever
al of the States there were found persons, white
and black, aged from ITO to lis. There were
in the United States, in 1850, 1855 persons
over 100 years. This shows that about one
person in 5000 will be likely to live to that
age. There are now about 90, 900 persons in
the United States who were living when the
Declaration of Independence was signed in
l776. They must necessarily be about so
years old now, in order to have lived at that
time. The French census of 1851 shows only
lO2 persons over 100 years old though their
total population was near 36,OO0,O00. Old
age is, therefore, attained among us much more
frequently than in France,

SoUfE AND PERRY-Mr. Perry, the Ameri-
can Secretary of Legation at Madrid, publishes
in the National IntclLige@cer a long letter, adj
dressed to the President of the United States,
replying to Mr.. Soule's letter of March oath.
He charges Mr.. Soule with wilfully and know
ingly mismanaging the Black Warrior affair, so
as not to obtain the redress this government
desired. He says Mr.. Sonle neglected the
instructions he received, suppressed for five
months, an important despatch from Secretary
Marcy, intended for the Spanish Government,
intercepted the official correspondence of the
charge d'Affaires of the United States at
Madrid, with the Secretary of State, at
Washington, and endeavored to seduce Mr..
Perry to abandon his post, for the purpose of
procuring an appearance of rupture of di-
plomatic relation with the Spanish court
These charges will of course be replied to by
Mr. Soule.

ry is to be extended in defiance of the wishes
of the settlers in that territory-elections are
carried at the point of the bowie-knife and with
the aid of revolyers and rifes--the officer ap-
pointed by the President to govern the terri
tory is insulted and defed-his authority set
at naught, as well as the power of the Gener-
al Government Peaceable citizens are endan-
gered in their lives and property by the myr-
midons of slavery. In fact, in all the details
Of its deformity and hideousness is this ques-
ton now developed The Northern adjuncts
of slavery are required to endorse the proceed
ings of ArcHIsoN and his crew, or they will be
denounced as Free-soilers and abolitionists.-
Such is the state of the matter. We thank the
South for the position in which they have
placed the question. For the first time it now
comes fairly before the people, stripped of all
specious and false pretensions.
We say that the recent outrages in Kansas
are but the beginning of the end" What
that end will be Con in His merciful Provi-
dence only knows But Northern freemen may
rest assured that the triumph of the marauders
who have invaded the soil of Kansas, will be
the triumph of slavery propagandism, and the
knell of Freedom The issue must be met bold
ly and with determination. If slavery can be
carried by such means into Kansas, and ac-
quiesced in by the North, then our liberties are
mt worth preserving, for they will be in dan
ger of constant encroachment from the South.
We see now sound and healthy state of
public sentiment in regard to the recent out
RACES in Kansas, and a general determination
in the North to stand by Governor REEDER
Even the democratic press of Pennsylvania is
denouncing ATcHsoN's proceedings and calling
upon the President to strengthen Gov REED
ER's hands in doing his duty. But we must
confess that while we are gratifed that such
should be the case, We cannot forget that once
there was equal unanimity in regard to the
Wilmot Proviso 4; and yet, at the bidding of
the South the press and the politicians of this
State receded from their honorable position
We trust it may not be so in the case of Gov
REEDER /; but we fear that when the South
shall demand as test of faithfuness and as
| the passport to patronage, that Gov. r. shall
be condemned and prescribed, that he will first
be assailed in the house of his friends
