Fillibuster Excitement.

Last week. on Monday afternoon. the
|. :. Marshal Mt New York received a
dispatch from Washington, ordering the
seizure aul detention of the steamer
Northern Light, which. it was rumored,
bad engaged to take out to Nicaragua
company Of 500 fllbusters, who have
been enlisted and drilled under the au-
sriccs of Parker H. French. Officers
were accordingly sent on board, but Mr.
White, the counsel for the Transit Com
pnny. declared that the vessel should
sail at her usual hour 5 o'clock About
i o'clock. the y l. was got underway,
but had not proceeded far when she was
interrupted by = Revenue Cutter, which
fired two guns across her bows and
brought her to. Two other Cutters al
SO proceeded to assist IN stopping the
steamer. There were apparently be-
tween 3 and 400 young men on board,
whose appearance Indicated that they
were Nicaragua adventures, and one Of
them confessed they were such, and had
been engaged by Col. French aud others
to 90 West.
It is said that those on board were
miserahly clad and have palpabe iudi.
cations Of restitution. if not Of des
pcratien One would readily see that
they were adventurcrs and not passen-
gels.
1t was finally settled that on Tuesday
morning search Of the vessel should
be instituted, and other legal steps taken
necessary iu the premises.
On Tuesday. Messrs. Cornelius Van
derbit and j. L. White appeared before
Commissioner Morton. and gave securi-
ty in the sum Of 100000 for the steam
CT Northern Light. The steamer was
then formally released by the United
States District Attorney, Mr. Mckeon,
from the libel executed the day previous,
The Northern Light sailed at II o.
clock Wednesday night. An examina.

A Bear Story.

The Mortified Star relates the fol
lowing heroic achievement of a young
man cover the mountain, in this county:
Mcssrs Lewis & Robbins, of Gran
vile, Yt.,whilo engaged in hunting traced
q number of bears to their Gen, in cave
upon the Green Mountains.
Robbins, a young man, of about six
teen years of age. being armed with a
double barrelled pistol. proceeded to OK
porc the cave, while his companion kept
guard at the entrance He had advance
but short distance. when he ascertain
ed the whereabouts of Bruin. which was
indicated by the eyes, that in the dark
ness resembled balls Of fire. Robbins
discharged the contents of one barrel,
the ball taking effect, and occasioning Il
momentary fantness on the part of its
recipient. But he Immediately rallied
with the intention Of embracing his Wis
itor, as is tho usual custom Of its spe-
cies.
lie discharged the second barrel and
laid" his opponent in the approved
manner After roloading, he again en-
tered the cave, and killed two more, and
with another charge finished the fourth.

The Frauds in Fire Insurance
Offices.

1t will be noticed by our local reports
on the destructive fires which occurred
on Saturday last, that some Of the suf.
fcrars hold policies in the recently ex.
ploded Mechanics Office, under the
Shoe and Leather Bank, Broadway and
Chambcrs-street. Opportunity was
scarcely afforded after the notice that
the concern had been handed over to
Receiver by the Attorney General to
transfer the risk to 4 sounl office before
the fire in CanalstTeot occurred. This
is only one of the many hard cases which
must periodically trauspire until these
gross impostures under cover of the Gen
oral Insurance Law of the State are
driven out or vigorously prosecuted for
fraud aud false swearing.
We notice that tho District. Attorney
has taken the subject in hand, through
the Grand Jury, aud that Indictments
have been found against tho President
aud Secretary Of the Tonline Office, re-
ceutly exploded, under an examination
by the Comptroller's special commission.
er. The remedy 10 not more severe than
the outrageous nature Of this growing
public abuse would seen to demand. The
prescntment Of the Grand Jury should
be a warning to other mere sholls of Fire
Insurance Companies to put their Offices
in order. If ,hoy have no reasonable
show Of capital, they had best surrender
their chafters at ouce and wind up volun-
tarily. The State authorities will else
bs after thom, and tho Grand Jury OF
the City aud County will not be far be-
hind, if, as in the instance already ex
posed there has been hard swearing, To
parties insured We again sound the alarm
