A You've RUNAWAY MarcH.-Two

Gently been thrown into big III state Of
excitement in consequence Of the sudden
and mysterious disappearance of tw" .ati,-
or juvenile members thereof, who. it ap.
pears. had concluded that they were quite
old enough to get married. The gallant,
was young gentleman who had seen his
seventeenth summer, and the lady Miss
Of thirteen. They started off on their
matrimonial tour in the early part ofthe
present week, and have not since been
heard OF, though anxious inquiries have
been put in circulation concerning thenr.
What renders the case more melanch0.
ly one, is that the mother Of the young man
has recently been left in circumstances OF
comparative destitution by the death Of
her husband, and that she was dependent,
in a great measure, for the means of sub.
sistence on the wages Of her son, who was
receiving a handsome salary for one Of
his years as clerk. months wages
was drawn by the youngster, and he
started off with the little girl in his wild
chase for welded bliss, or hapIy the fair
one went with him, "not as a maiden
not as wife, Who knows? At any
rate, he left behind him nothing for his
mother save an unfeeling letter to the
effect that she would now have "somc.
thing to cry about" he having frequently
before reProached her for the unavailins
tears which she shed in consequence Of
his fathers death.
Under these circumstances a youth and
maiden have assumed in haste grave res
possibilities, which, in all probability, they
will repent at leisure.-Sunday's Pic.

THE DANISH Sound DuEs.-A letter
to the New York Journal Of Commerce,
dated London, July llth. says:
The Sound Dues Inquiry, which will be
concluded on Tuesday next, has elected
no proposition for the removal Of the i'm.
post, nearly all the Witnesses being favo-
rable to the plan Of capitalization pro.
posed by Denmark. The chief witness
yesterday was Mr.. Buchanan, British
Minister ut Copenhagen, who also took
this view, and maintained that Denmark
would have the right to continue levying
the dues upon the shipping and merchan.
disc Of other nations, even though the.
United States should obtain exemption.
He Thought Denmark would accede to the
proposal made by the Cabinet at Wash.
ington, as the only means Of avoiding
war, the probable effect If which would be
TO exempt American ships and goods with
out the payment Of any indemnify Al all.
To the question Of the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, whether the operation Of
American exemption would not be to
throw the bulk Of the carrying trade Of the
Baltic into American hands, Mr. Buch.
anan replied that it undoubtedly would be
SO but Denmark would be no loser there.
by. as the flag does not cover the cargo,
and dues would still be payable thereon,
if shipped on other than American nc.
count, although the vessel would be
exempt.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO MURDER
Con ess;on Of THO Negroes Yesterday
afternoon DR.. VIM. Price Moore, Of No.
ISL Chambers street, was taken into Gus.
tody by Sergeant Smith, Of the lower Po-
lice Court. on charge Of conspiracy 10
murder Alfred S. Livingston, Of Trenton.
New Jersey. II appears that the accused
hired two negroes, named Still and Wes-
ley, to murder him, on account ofthe disPo-
sition Of some property. Still was to go
to Trenton and call At the house Of Mr..
Livingston, and represent himself as a
fugitive slave, and when an opportunity
turned up he was to strike Mr.. Livingston
on the head with a hammer, and kill him.
The negro was to receive $4,000 for the
job. He promised to start for Trenton on
tho 18th ult., and perpetrate the crima {;
but when the day arrived he had an excuse
that be was sick. q Finally, Still told DR..
Moore that he did not care about doing
such an act but recommended the last
named negro, Wesley. In . few days
Wesley called upon DR.. Moore. and made
arrangements to complete the job, for
which be was to receive Us from DR..
Moore to pay his expenses to Trenton,
and when the murder was committed he
was to receive = liberal reward. Still,
determined to clear himself from all guilt,
went to Trenton, and acquainted Mr..
Livingston fthe affair, thus anticipating
the movement Of Wesley. Mr.. L. hasten.
ed to New York on Tuesday last and made
his complaint before the lower police
Court. The afidavits ofthe negroes were
taken, who corroborated each other in
their statement. Dr.. Moore was conveyed
by an officer, in whose custody he will
remain. A hearing in the case will prob.
ably come off to-day. The accused says
he can prove his entire innocence in the
matter, 10 the satisfaction Of his friends
and the publicly. Y. Day Book.
