Death OF mademoiseIle Genet.

We regret exceedingly to learn that Nile.
Pauline Genet, who few days ago was so
severely burned at Niblo's Garden, expired on
Saturday evening, after enduring the greatest
suffering. 1t was supposed that no internal
injury had been sustained, aud hopes of his
recovery were confidently entertained until a
few days since; but nature sank under the
protracted agony.
The deceased was very young and re-
markably beautiful. Talented, accomplished,
spTituelle, she had risen high in her arduous
profession, and was surrounded by troops Of
ardent admirers and warm friends 1t is a
comfort to know that she was most tenderly
and assiduously cared for in her terrible sick.
ness, and that the hands Of near friends
ministered to her last hour. The death Of
Mile. Genet is particularly sad, from the fact
that il is the second event of the same painful
character that has occurred at this establish
ment. A few years since, the young, brilliant,
and lively Adel Lehman was similarly cut of
in the midst Of most successful career, and
her melancholy death for some time cast a
gloom over the favorite performers Of this
place of amusement. But it is no more than
justice to say, that the fate Of the deceased in
both cases was owing solely to their own care
lessness, and for both, everything that man
could do was done by the proprietor Of the
stablishment.-Neto Fork Express.

Anrel Gabriel.

The following from Capt Wells, of the bark
Kate Lincoln, dated Demerara, Feb. %, says:
"The noted street preacher, J. s. Orr, better
known in New York and other parts as the
Angel Gabriel, has created great excitement in
Demerara, between the Portuguese and Blacks,
SO that the authorities have despatched to a
number Of Islands for vessels Of war to pro-
tect the place. bear dispatches to St. Vim.
cent from the Governor Of British Guiana, for
vessels. No war vessels in port, and but few
troops, mostly colored. They have taken about
GOO or 700 rioters as prisoners.
"The negroes have pulled down, plundered,
and set FIRE to good many Roman Catholic
Churches and Portuguese ships. The Angel
Gabriel is taken prisoner. The health Of the
port is very good. Times rather dull, as all
mercantile business is suspended on account oi
the riot. A long.boat containing the captain
and crew OF the bark Mary Hartley, which
sunk about lat. $500. long. 40, from Callao,
bound to London, arrived Feb. 20. The M. II.
was British vessel, and belonged TO London.

GEORGE p FOX
Has arrived at WilIard's Hotel, wash
ington, ID. q.
In The delay attending the organization of
the House, il is matter of congratulation
that the members of both branches of The Ma
lional Legislature can, without violating their
political principles, settle upon one popular can
didate for their favor. Mr.. Fox, in his capacity
as Tailor, representing commerce, has ever
merited and continues TO receive the distinguished
title of Leader of Fashions of the United States
To that laudable distinction he has been elevated
by the unanimous sufirages of the people. He
has had the happy faculty of uniting the dissen-
tient voices in the realm OF fashion, and now
represents them in one undivided sentiment.
The House of Representatives has been at loss
for leader for some time but the Representa-
tive of Fashion is always organized. The fashions
in the plastic hand of art is 10 the skill of the
artist what the disorganlzed elements of the
Representative Assembly are 10 the genins of the
orator. The succumbs TO the taste of the
artist, the other is subdued by the eoquence of
the orator. What the latter is 10 the Congress
sonal Assembly, GEORGE z. Fox is 10 the Popular
Assembly of Fashion. We have thus far insti-
tuted parallel, but parallels only run closely 10
certain point, thence they diverge, and thus it is
with our leaders of fashions and our leaders OF
politics. The Speaker of Fashion (for such
will designate our representative Is never at a
loss for the right iii on the right man, and the
right man is never at loss for the right fit when
he applies 10 our leader. His vote is never cast
away nor yet his money. Both equally well
and safely invested. Unanimity of opinion can
not be supposed 10 always exist III political as
sembes of men representing diversity of prin-
ciples, but in the realm of fashion there can be
but one opinions and that il, that there is but

ture could say for itself

The following proclamation was issued by
Gen, Walker to the people Of Nicaragua
10 the People Of Central Aneriea:
Invited to Nicaragua by the Democratic
party Of the Republic, the American force
under my command has steadily struggled to
carry out the principles for which the revolu.
ton Of 1854 was undertaken. In order, how
ever, TO consolidate a general. peace we were
willing to bury past differences, and endeavor
TO amalgamate the two parties into one. For
this purpose we have, since the treaty of Oeto-
Der last, held in check our old friends the
Democrats, and have attempted 10 conciliate
the men formerly attached 20 the Government
of Estrada.
With the same view the Provisional Govern
ment OF Nicaragua, although differing IN IDEAS
and principles from the Governments Of the
other States Of Central America, attempted TO
establish frank and friendly relations with the
neighboring Republics. Our overtures Of
peace have been rejected. Our propositions
of friendship have not only been disregartlcd,
bat treated with scorn aud disdain. Contempt
aud contumcly have been returned for the
Rmicable messages we sent 10 the Government.
The only reason given for such conduct is the
presence of American forces in the State Of
Nicaragua.
The sclfs,yled Ligiiimist party OF Nicaragua
has rcpalscd our efforts NJ Cancellation. They
have maintained communication with their Eel.

The position OF San Salvador is also pacific,
notwithstanding the inhammatory and libelous
appeals Of Cabanas--notwithstand the tenn
porary excitement of the people under those
appeals, San Salvador still adheres TO her an
cient faith, and will be Democratic despite the
seductions Of the enemies OF Gen. Walker and
his history in Nicaragua. Senor Cabanas has
failed in his mischief, and he must hereafter
descend from his position as one Of the drec-
tors of Democratic progress in Central Ameri-
ca. Thus, we see that al disquietude con-
cerning Honduras and San Salvador may be
dismissed.
