Yesterday morning, Mr.. Radcliffe, addressing Judge
Crawford, said he had, on coming into the room,
heard of circumstance, perhaps familiar TO all
present, which was calculated TO throw gloom
over their proceedings The wife of p. B. Key,
esq, the United States Attorney for the District
of Columbia, died on Tuesday night, under cir
cumstances in the highest degree affecting. The
members Of the bar had for long time been pro-
fessionally and socially intimate with that gentle
m an, and therefore could moi fail to sympathize
with him in his sad bereavement. In view of the
distressing event, and from the fact III at, in con-
sequence the business ofthe court could not be now
properly transacted-there being profound SEN
satlon OF sorrow prevalent-he suggested that the
court take some action upon the subject. What
that course should be he was not prepared to say.
He had merely risen to make the announcement,
and 10 express the sentiment which animated him
and his professional brethren.
Judge Crawford remarked that the court had
heard with great pain indeed of the distressing
dispensation of Providence in the family of the
District Attorney. No one attached TO the tribu-
nal was in fit condition to transact business.
Out of very great respect the court would adjourn
until Thursday morning, at ten o'clock, as he
understood that the remains of the deceased
would be removed from this city on Wednesday
afternoon.
The, grand and the traverse Juries were dis
charged until this morning.
The Judge remarked that William R. Wood
ward esq, would, by request of Mr.. Key, act as
District Attorney pro tenn. during the remainder OF
the term which would be continued for three or
four days longer.
The court then adjourned.

D6- The U. s. mail steamship Cahawba, r.
W. Shufeldt, commander, from New Orleans
the 18th instant and Havana the l4th arrived
at New York yesterday morning.
From Havana we learn that the cases of
Pinto, Cadalzo and Pinelo have been determin-
ed by the military court with the sentence Of
death to all, transcending the decision Of the
Fiscal, which was death to Ramon Pinto, ten
years imprisonment to Juan Cadalzo, and BAN
ishment to Nicholas Pinelo
The consuls of the different foreign nations
residing in Havana proposed to call on the.
Captain General to induce cemency towards
the prisoners by communication, or if that was
impossible, that the execution ofthe condemned
be deferred until the government at Madrid
could be communicated with. The consuls
were refused admission. 1t is believed that the
sentence was confirmed on the 18th, and that
the execution of Pinto would shortly take place.
Havana was quiet, and business improving.
The health Of the city perfect.
The United States steamship Princeton Capt.
Eagle, was at Havana, all well; also the
English man-of-war steamer Buzzard.
The Cahawba has experienced warm and
pleasant weather from New Orleans to this
port.

Home and Friends.

Oh, there's power to make each hour
AS sweet as Heaven desi gned it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be who find it,
We seek too high for things close by;
And lose what nature found us;
For life has here no charm so dear
As home and friends around us.
We oft destroy the present JOY.
For future hopes and praise them.
While flowers rs sweet bloom at our feet,
we'd but stoop to raise them:
For things atar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound us,
But soon we're taug that earth hath naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When Hopes last reed is shaken,
To show you still. that come what will,
You are not quite forsaken;
Though all were night if but the light
From Friendships honor crowned us,
'TwOuld prove the bliss of earth were this:
Our Home and friends around us.

Esta bliShed for the permanent
Cure of all Private and
Chronic Diseases, and the Sup
preston of Quackerv.

DR. L. J. CZAPKAY, late in the Hungarian
~ Revolutionary War, chief physician to the
10th Regiment of IIonveds, chief surgeon to the
military hospital Of Pesth, Hungary and late Lee
turer on Diseases of Urinary Organs and Diseases
of Women and Children, would most respectfully
inform the public of California that he has open
ed an institute for the cure of chronic diseases of
the Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Digestive and Genital
Organs, and all Private Diseases, viz: Syphilitic
Ulcers, Gonorrhea, Gleet, Structure, Seminal
Weakness, and all the horrid consequences Of
selfabuse; and he hopes that his long experience
and successful practice of many years will insure
him a share of public patronage. BY the practice
of many years in Europe and the United States,
and during the Hungarian war and campaigns, he
is enabled to apply the most efficient and sue
cesstul remedies against diseases of all kinds. He
uses no mercury-charges moderate-treats his
patients in a correct and honorable way-and
has references of unquestonable veracity from
men of known respectability and high standing in
society. All parties consulting him, by letter
or otherwise, will receive the best and gentlest
treatment and implicit secresy.
DR.. l.. J. CZAPKAY is daily receiving appli-
cations from every part of this State and from
Oregon and Washington Territories for treatment
of every form of disease and there is not one who
will come forward and express dissatisfaction; on
the contrary, the Doctor is in daily receipt of let
ters expressive of gratitude and thankfulness,
some of which are published below by permission.

first stanza was:
Fair lady whosoe'er thou art
Turn this poor leaf with tenderest care,
And--hush, @ hush thy breathing heart
The one thou lowest will he there!
On turning the poor leaf there was found &
one dollar bill, with some verses beginning:
Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell

to cut capers than clover. One trick consisted in
filling the tin horn with soap, and then slightly
stopping the oritice with cotton. When noon came
the deacon seized the instrument, and gave a blast
which scattered the contents far and near. To say
that he was displeased, would but ghtly describe
his feelings. He was enraged; for the first time
in his life he swore. Says he: Gentlemen, | am
