TRIAL OF A MAN FOR NUMBERING MS WIFE.
at Cleveland, on Saturday last. an cXamlna-
tion took place before Esq. Hessenmueller of
Michael Wyngelt, for the murder of his wife
This prosecution was induced by the sudden
disappearance of the woman about six weeks
since, and it was supposed, from the hahitua
ill-treatment to which she was subjected, that
she had been murdered. No trace Of her
could be found. and the statement Of the de-
tendant confirmed the suspicion. The evi-
dence had been heard, and though il was cir
cumstantial, the probability of the murder
was strongly sustained.
At this juncture-the court room being
densely crowded by excited spectators--the
woman alledged toh ave been murdered made
her appearance, 10 the great surprise and
qualification of all, and especially OF the cul.
prit Oh trial. The woman had aban donod
her liege lord, and sought the asylum for the
poor at the lutrmary, where, sick and iorlom
she had received care and cure. She, of
course, was totally ignorant Of the charge of
murder against he husband, and il was only
by accident that the intelligence came to
those who were cognizant OF the trial, and
she was sought out aud produced at the
Court to the pleasant astonishment Of all con-
cerned.

PROPOSED SPANISH AMERICAN LEAGUE
AGAINST THE UNITED STAIEs.--The MADRID
correspondent Of the New York Herald has
forwarded to the editor of that paper an ex-
tract from work printed, aud probably
circulated, IN that city, by Don Buenaven-
tura Vlvo, late Minister PIenipotentiary
from the government OF Santa Auna to Spain
1t developes the project OF a grand Spanish
American confederation TO counterfeit the
ti!bustering propensites of the United
States, and to secure 10 the crown Of Spain
the perpetual possession Of the Island Of
Cuba.
It is stated in the work alluded TO that
the Minister received especial instructions to
confer with the Spanish Secretary OF State,
upon Inc measures necessary to coIfTm
SpaIn IN the possession Of Cuba, in which
the government Of Mexico was ready to
cooperate. The proposal met with cordial
reception on the part OF the Spanish govern
menl' aud negotiations were opened among
various European powers, with view to
secure the necessary alliance. Ia the midst
OF tAe negotiations, however, al order came
Fom the Mexican Republic TO suspend
ePsrstions--and here ends these curious de.
velopments, as narroted by the correspon.
dent Of the Herald.

AGRICULTURAL.

Much activity exists in the agricultural
branch of the Patent Office, under the direc-
tion of Mr.. j. D. Brown. A number OF gen.
tlemen in various parts OF the country are en-
gagged in making experiments in agricultural
chemistry and several interesting reports
have Just been received.
One. from DR.. Charles r. jackson, OF Bos-
ton. who has Analysed the corn cob, acquants
the bureau thnt il contains four and half
parts of nutritive matter, consisting Of gum,
starch and dixtrine.
Another from the same gentleman who has
made geological excursions through the
States Of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia furnishes the result OF chemical re-
searches on the seed Of the cotton plant. He
says that cotton seed may be protitably EN-.
ployed in the production of a rich, fat oil, and
that the woolly fibre adhering to the hulls
may be economical in the manufacture ol
paper, while the substance of the seeds, OF
their meats after having the oil extracted
may be employed for feeding animals, and
also as an excellent fertilizer.
The following is the anaisys of the oil cake
made from the cotton seed Carbon 37,T40
oxygen, 39.663 nitrogen, 1853 hydrogen
| 5,S69; snl,e, tinorgenie}; total, o9,9o3.
On separating the varions salts, and redu
cling them TO their ratios for one hundred
| grains Of the oil cake. the following results
were ascertaned Alkaline salts, soluble il
water, ola; phosphate oflime, 3 04 potash
0.46; soda, 0.53 phosphoric acid, with ira
ces Of sui phuric acid and chlorine, 0.90: sill
loss, OBS. Total. $50
The analysis Of cotton seed justifes ant
explains the use made of them by the South
ern planters in preparing the soil with the
rotted seed as special manure for mdiar
corn, which draws SO largely on the oil fol
/ phosphaies.
The Bureau has been sending out small
tnbers of the Chinese yam, which was recently
/ introduced into France from the North o
! China, aud bids fair to serve us q substitute
! for the potato.

TREVORTON,

There is place in Pennsylvania known as
Irevorton Manor, which has been described
as being covered with stones, and under each
stone there were fifteen rattlesnakes and
nothing but hemlock knots and huckleberries

tlesnakes."
The citizens Of this thriving town will pro.
badly be surprised to see the above extract
from the columns of the Saturday Erenino
Post" dated April 10Th, published BY Deacon
d Peterson, Philadelphia.
1t is said that in country progressing
with such rapid stride as the United States,
ne" maps should be published twice a year,
and judging from the lamentable Ignorance of
the geography of their own state displayed
by tue publishers Of tie above, no ono will be
inclined TO dispute the assertion. Philadol.
phlans are too much prone to consider that
city the whole state. The visual line" of
brick and mortar (which girts them round"
is 1.-The worlds extreme" But the publishers
OF periodicals protesting to instruct the peo-
pie ought at least to be silent upon subjects
they know nothing about, and thus avoid the
dissemination Of error. We do not accuse
Messrs. Deacon & Peterson of being the au.
thors OF this libel upon one of onr hourisbing
mining towns, for the article is not under the

HoLLowAy's PIrLs-W onderful cure Of
diseased Liver.--Emily Burton, aged "a. of
Fulton Street, Brooklyn, Long Island, New
York, was for n long time in very precari-
Gus state of health. owing to her liver being
diseased; the medical faculty prescribed for
her in vain, and every remedy she thought
likely TO benefit her she made use of with
the like i'll success. About two months ago,
she commenced using Ilolloway's Pills, and
complied with the printed directions. which
quickly produced n very pleasing change in
five weeks, the bloom Of health was again
upon her checks, being perfectly cured, tc
the agreeable surprise Of her friends. These
Pills are also fnfallible in all diseases of the
stomach and bowels.

ARRIVAL OF TIE AFRICA.
LATER FROM EUROPE

The Africa arrived at New York on Sat.
urday evening, with Liverpool news to April
5,h.
The ship Skproips, Ryan, from st. John,
Newfoundland. February 18th. arrived at
Figuiera, reports seeing fields OF ice about
200 miles from the coast Of Newfnundland.-
She also reports having seen q steamers
lights in the ice These lights are supposed
10 have been those Of the long lost Pacific.
The Skiproips could not get near enough to
ascertain whether it was the Pacific or not.
The Pacific left Liverpool on January 23d,
and If she entered the ice on the 10th day ont,
the I'd Of February. she would have been
about two weeks in the ice when the Skiproips
saw the steamers lights.
The Peace Conference continued its sit
tings at Paris, considering the minor details.
Peace had been proclaimed at st. Peters
burg, and was favorably received. The Con
ference was not expected to get through with
its labors for a month or more.
The U. S. Mediterranean squadron was
about to cruise off the coast Of Spain
Mr.. j. Aiken, as chairman Of the local Ma
rine Board, has presented bill Of exchange
for ESQ to Captain Ferguson. Of the Liver
pool bark Emperor, for having rescued in
January last, Capt. Spall and crew, of the
American bark Olivia, which was laundering.
The bill had been forwarded in very kind
note to Lord Clarendon by the Hon. George
NJ. Dallas, American Minister in Loudon
who. in turn, sent both through the Board OF
Trade, to Liverpool Captain Ferguson. who
was taken aback by the acknowledgment,
was too overpowered to do more than thank
the Board.
Accounts from Melbourne, of January Tth,
are. on the whole, satisfactory. The Schom-
herg has gone ashore near Callibrand river.
Nearly the whole Of the passengers together
with the European mails. were transferred to
the steamer Queen, and landed at Melbourne
without loss of life or limb. There were LOG
men Of the officers and crew. OF these, forty
men went on shore. headed by the boatswain.
These took their chests and other property.
About eight casks, containing biscuit, bottled
porter brandy and other stores, were sent on
shore by the purser who accompanied them.
Tue men erected hut on shore The agents
have despatched the steamers Marion and
keera to the scene Of the disaster.
1t may be confidently expected that the
year 1857 will be far advanced before the last
nan and the last cargo of shells can pass the
Eardanees or their way homeward nor can
we think that any haste is nee ssary in conf
pletirg the evacuation. We have accumula
ted large stores and assembled great army
for the defence Of Turkey, and there is NJ
reason why we should incur the expense o
new transports and greater employment o
