Quite storm has been created in Belgium
in consequence of Napoleon's endeavor, through
the Paris Congress, to curtail the liberty Of the
press in that country. Belgium is strongly
backed by British journals; so strongly, indeed,
that the Times insinuates that this interference
of France in another country's rights may pos
sby be the means Of breaking up the Western
alliance. Such result would be highly proba-
BILE if the present difficulty was followed by an
open rupture. The subject has created no
little excitement in Brussels, and has been
brought before the Legislature by Mr.. Ors,
one OF its members. In answer to that gentle
man, M. Villain, life Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
said that no request had been made by the
French Government for change in the Bel
giap Constitution, concerning the liberty Of
the press,) and if such request we're made Il
rcouid nerer be complied wah. This straight.
forward reply from the Minister was received
with cheers and demonstrations Of the greatest
satisfaction

origin of tn. order OF odd Fellows.

But few, even members of the Order, know
the origin Of Odd Fellowship. Like Free Ma.
sonry, its incubation dates way back into an
tiquity; indeed, we learn from the Commercial
Of Buffalo, that it was established by the Ro-
man soldiers in the camp, during the reign Of
Nero, in the year of the Christian Era, Sc. At
that time they we're Fellow Citizens" The
present name was given them by Titus Caesar
in the year 10, from the sngularity Of their
meetings, and from their knowing each other
by night or day, and by their country. He,
L. c., not only gave them the name Of Odd
Fellows, but at the same time as pledge Of
friendship, presented them with dispensation
engraved on plate Of gold, bearing different
characters or emblems, such as the sun, moon,
and stars, the lamb, the lion, and the dove,
and other embems of morality. The first ac-
count Of the order being spread in other coun-
tries, states that in the 9th century it was es-
tabished in the Spanish dominions; and the
9th century by Henry, King of Portugal; and
in the llth century 1t gained footing in
France; and afterwards, through the instru-
mentality Of John lie Neville, in England, at
tended by FIVE Knights from France, who
formed n LOYAL Grand Lodge Of Honor in
London, which order remained until the twelfth
century, when part of them began to form
themselves into Union, and portion Of them
remain up TO this time; the Lodges, which are
very numerous in different parts Of the world
and call themselves the Loyal Ancient Odd
Fellows, being portion Of the original body.
The Manchester (England) Union is Of more
recent date, although there is no doubt Of its
emanating from the same source. It's first in
PRODUCTION into Manchester was about the year
1900, by few individuals from the Union in
London, who formed themselves into lodge
and continued with them Tor some time, when
some difference Of opinion caused them to de.
clare themselves independent, and thus they
have kept their name independent albany

A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
in New Grenada thus notices visit paid by
him to the ex.Dictator of Mexico
. two hours charming ride led US to Tur-
baco, where our friends, who we're to part from
us, had ordered a sumptuous farewell break
fast. This village, situated at distance Of
about four leagues from Carthagena, is the
present residence Of General Santa Anna, the
ex-Dictator Of Mexico.
"After having done full justice TO the deli.
cious viands spread before us by our friends,
with an ardor and gtsto which our morning
jauut sufficiently explains, dozen Of us lighted
our cigars, and set out to visit the man who at
one time, exercised so considerable an inhu-
ence over the affairs Of Mexico. His house
is large, strong stone building, in the old
Spanish style Of architecture, with a coonnade,
large court and garden. It's appearance is
very beautiful, and forms a striking contrast
with the humble cottages inhabited by the
wretched population among whom Santa Anna
resides.
ave were introduced into a large parlor, run
ming through the whole front Of the house,
whilst the General was being apprized Of our
arrival The walls Of this apartment are pa
pered in elegant French style, and decorated
with some fine engravings. The parlor has
two doors fronting on the street, and two others
leading TO yard smiling with verdure. Around
the room may be seen two or three sofas, a
dozen Of mahogany chairs with side tables and
lounges in the middle is marble centre table,
with exquisitely wrought flower vases. The
ensemble Of this furniture has an appearance Of
calm simplicity, and breathes a perfume Of
tropical comforts which strikes and pleases at
the same time.
"The ex. Dictator appeared almost immedi-
ately | had known him ten years ago at
Havana, and expected to see him, Of course,
much altered; but if he is, it is decidedly to his
advantage. He has all the appearance Of a
man in his prime, and is about FIVE feet ten or
eleven inches high. His body is straight, ro-
bust, and rather corpulenty inclined. His eyes
borrow from their shaggy brows an aspect of
concavity which causes them to change color
with the varying hues of light His complexion
is Of an olive brown; his face is shorn of whis-
kers and moustaches, and is indented by no
corsgation, except, perhaps, some slight wrin
kles near the angle of the eye. His hair is Of
beautiful iron gray color, but | understand
that he is in the habit Of dyeing il.
"He entered the parlor slowly, walking with
some embarrassment and slightly limping,
resting upon cane His dress was extremely
simple, being that Of q Southern farmer, viz !;
broad linen pantaloons and an ample white
sackcoat The only attractive object which he
wore was a magnificent diamond breast pin"

We have at last a tangible evidence Of Japan
being opened to US for the objects Of trade and
commerce. An enterprizing countryman Of
ours purchased vessel in San Francisco, went
TO Simoda, in Japan, and by dint of persever.
ance and good management, succeeded in pre-
vailing upon the japanese to sell him cargo,
or at least part Of one, Of their curious manu-
factures. For the present they evince de-
cided repugnance to either buying or selling
with outsiders. But our enterprising country
man has succeeded in obtaining considerable
quantity of their precious knicknackery, and
has resolved to put them up at auction next
week. The collection Of goods comprises
some very beautiful specimens Of japan ware,
curious in construction, and most elaborate in
finish and ornamentation. If the demand for
such articles should ever induce large importa-
tions, the quality Of them must very naturally
be deprecated, for the conscientious care with
which every article is finished, and the amount
Of time bestowed upon their elaborate style Of
ornament can never be continued when the
demand is large--N York Times

We understand that duel took place in
East Newark, on Monday afternoon, between
two French gentlemen of this city, in which
neither was injured. The cause Of the duel,
we are informed, was as follows: A Belgian was
arrested in Cincinnati sometime since for OBJ
tanning money under false pretences, and the
matter was made subject Of conversation a
few evenings since, among party Of French
gentleman in this city, when one of them, a
music teacher, ntimated that another, ply
siclan, was the person spoken Of The ply
sician, indignant at the intimation struck him
IN the face, whereupon challenge passed be-
tween the parties. On Monday afternoon they
met IN East Newark, aud on tossing for the
first fire, it was won by The music eacher, who
shot at his adversary, but missed him, the ball
past his ear. The other then shot
over his adversarys head, and both parties re-
turned to Newark unipjured No person was
present, but the combatants and their seconds.

A poisoned valley has been discovered neal
Batten, in japan. Mr. A. Louden visited il
| last July and states that when within few
| yards of the valley, strong sutfocating smell
was experienced, but this ceased as the margin
was approached.
The bottom OF it appears to be fiat, without
any vegetation, and few large stones scattered
here and there. Skeletons of human beings,
tigers, bears, deer, and all sorts of birds and
wild animals lay about in profusion. The
ground on which they lay, at the bottom OF the
valley, appeared TO be a hard, sandy substance,
and no vapor was perceived. The sides were
covered with vegetation.
1t was proposed to enter it, and each Of the
party having lit segar, managed to get within
twenty feet of the bottom, where sickening,
nauseous smell was experienced without any
difficulty Of breathing. A dog was fast
bottom of the valley, while some of the party
with their watches in their hands observed the
effect.
At the expiration Of fourteen seconds he fell
off his legs, without moving or looking around,
and continued alive only eighteen minutes.
The other dog now left the company and went
to his companion. On reaching him he was
observed to stand quite motionless, and at the
end of ten seconds fell down; he never moved
his limbs after, and lived only seven minutes.
A fowl was now thrown in, and died in min
ute and quarter. And another, which was
thrown in AFTER died in the space of minute
and half
A heavy shower of rain fell during the time
that these experiments were going forward,
which, from the interesting nature of the ex-
periments, was quite disregarded. On the op-
posite side of the valley to that which was Wis
tied lay human skeleton. The head was
resting on the right arm. The effect of the
weather had bleached the bones as white as
wretched rebel, hunted towards the valley, who
had taken shelter there unconscious of its char
acter.

A GALLANT FIGHT.-The Democrats Of Illi-
nois are preparing to fight gallant battle. The
nomination Of w. A Richardson for Governor,
betokens the spirit with which they enter the
contest He was the chairman OF the Com
mittee on Territories Of the last House Of Rep
resentatives, and, it will be recolected, engi-
neered the Kansas-Nebraska bill through that
body. His nomination will keep the issue Of
,Shat measure directly before the people. We
trust that, everywhere, the bull will be taken as
fearlessly by the horns. The day has gone by
when democrats can stop short Of an active,
energetic, earnest support of the doctrine Of the
right Of all people to self government Those
who are not for the doctrine, and for its enforce
ment, are against it, and against the democratic
party.
The democracy of Michigan will be found
not less bold than the democracy of Illinois.
When the victory shall be won there will be no
doubt what issue has been decided.--Defroif

ne4- A Yankee baker has invented new
kind Of yeast Ii makes bread so light that
pound of il weighs only four ounces. If he
puts 10 little too much, he is obliged to tie
his loaves to the counter to keep them from
