BARNUM TRUMPED. The Picayune,

of Barnum, has for once been over.
come. 1t appears that man of this
name of Barnum, had enetered into
business arrangement swith colored
pusson' of the name Of Lawry. The
capital in the transaction was live bear
which was to be fattened up for murder
on Christmas day, and sold on JOINT ac-
count. The animal was of course fed on
the rarest vegetables of the season, pea
nuts, dougb-nuts, fish, flesh, & fowl; but
before the day came, Lawry got i'm.
patient-concluded that the bear had
eaten himself up, and twas time for
him to come to judgement therefore
he slew him, not with sling but a
knife-put the tin in his pocket. and
started, off on bust-singing like
Jones woman is said to have done
"Christmas comes but once a year,
don't care don't carc-don't care a
-srtaw" Barnum met Lawry, and
the latter tried to convince him, that
he Barnnm, was still ind, bted to him 4:
for the Bear had eaten-in the fattn-
ing process, more than he had come
to; but Barnum would not listen to
logic-had the colored pusson arrest
ed for breach of trust" Lawry was
the best lawyer Of the two. The
court held-that colored pusson is
not considered trustworthy therefore
there was no breach of trust. The
case was dismissed and Lawry went OF
his way singing Christmas comes buI
once a year, etc.

The Cox Divorce CAsE.-Accordingt to the
testimony recently given in this case, the la
dy has completely turned the tables on her
lord, showing conclusively that he, not she,
is the black sheep. 1t seems that his wit
nesses. who swear to having seen her in and
around houses of ill-fame, are persons wholly
destitute Of character The man who swears
he frequently met her in such places turns out
to be noted periurer-a convenient swearer
on such trials-having been four times in
dicted for perjury The Rev. Doctors female
witnesses are all of the Boria boola Cha Or
DER and are shown to have, by their impu-
dent conduct in the Doctors house, greatly
and unjustfiably annoyed the lady. Her
witnesses, who, in point of character turn
out to be as respectable persons, male and fe-
mae as New York contains, prove that the
Doctor married her for her money, after eigh
teen months assiduous courtship that i'm
medately afterwards, on finding that she
would not give up her property TO him, and
did not have more than sufficient to give her
an income Of 81 200 per annum, he began to
treat her unkindly, ending in positive brutal
ty towards her; that she left him, and sub
seqUently entered into articles of separation
from him; that when away from him she re-
sided with excellent people, and enjoyed the
respect and confidence Of the families of the
leading Episcopal clergymen of the city, she
being consistent and worthy commitment
of that church, whose walk in life was en-
tirely correct The whole case exhibits, in
the testimony, one of deep and damnable
conspiracy, to ruin the character of an in.
offensive and worthy woman, such as would
furnish glowing theme for the pen of Dick
Iens.

SHARKs-The mode by which the race Of
these formidable creatures is continued, diff
ering as it does SO greatly from that of most
other fishes, is exceedingly curious. The
shark, instead OF deposting some millions
Of eggs in season, like the cod or the her
ring, produces two eggs, of square or oblong
form, the coat of which is composed of
Tough, horny substance each corner is pro-
longed into tendril, Of which the two which
are next to the tail OF the enclosed fish are
stronger and more prehcnsile than the other
pair. The use of these tendrils appears to
be their entang lemPnt among the stalks of
weeds, and the consequent mooring OF
the egg in situation Of protection and com
rarative security. Near the head there is ID
slit in the egg-skin, through which the wa
ter enters for respiration, and another at the
opposite extremity by which it is discharged
That part of the skin which is near the head +,
is weaker and more easily ruptured than any
other part a provision for the easy exclusion
IF the animal, which takes place before the
entire absorption of the vitellus or yolk of
the egg, the remainder being attached to The
body of the young fish, enclosed in a capsule,
which for a while it carries about. The pO-
sition Of the animal, while within the egg. is
with the head doubled back towards the tail
one very unfavorable for the process of
breathing by internal gills, and hence there
is an interesting provision made TO meet the
emergency. On each side fiament of the
substance Of the gils projects from the gill
opening, containing vessels in which the
blood is exposed to the action of the water.
These processes are gradually absorbed after
the fish is excluded, until which the internal
gills are scarcely capable Of respiration.

THE DIFFICULTY AT RIO JANEIRo.--A mis-
understanding arose between the English and
French admirals and the American commo
dore in Rio Janeiro, which at one time wore
rather serious aspect. A steamer called
the America. from New York to California,
put into this port to coal and water. On
The eve of her departure, Admiral Johnstone
received information that the vessel was in
reality Russian privateer in disguise, con
veying an enormous quantity of munitions
of war, Mimic rifles, heavy cannon, &c, to
the Pacific, and that the greater number Of
her offic ,rs were Russians. The admiral i'm
mediately pulled on board the Savannah,
American frgate, and demanded explana-
tons of the commodore, who, it appears.
took rather high ground, and refused to allow
a search to be made on board the steamer
Upon this the English admiral threatened to
send his steamers out to overhaul the YES
sci should she leave the port, and the reply
made was that the Savannah should be tow
ed out by her TO protect the America If nee
essary.
Admiral Johestone returned to his frigate.
bound his sails to the yards. and made ready
for sea, and the Trident and Riheman got up
their steam, while the Savannah ran her guns
out and actually cleared for action. Subse-
up by The commander of the steamer declar-
ing. that the report was entirely false. The
French admiral, however, declared that he
was not satisfied with the explanation
Thus far we know on shore. The America
towed the Savannah out this morning and
the Indefatigable. Rifeman, Trident, and the
French frigate Poursuivante sailed last night;
but whether collision will take place out

suivante are in reality gone down to the riv

The moon will enter the earth's shadow on
Saturday night, April 19, or rather on Sunday
morning, at twenty-six minutes past o'clock,
aud at four o'clock there will be more than
seven-tenths of her disk obscured. Mars will
then be near his setting point, a little TO the
south of west. During this eclipse the moon
will be in the southwestern part Of the heavens,
accompanied by the bright star Spica Virgins.
About the hour OF sunrise she will have com
pleted her passage through the umbra and
