Nh. JAMES r. CeorEY FOR MAyoR.-Mr.
Cooley. the gentleman whom the ragged rump
Of the American party has nominated for May
or, was formerly book auctioneer in this city,
and il a man Of independent fortune. Being
attacked some years since by thirst for lite
rary distinction, he went to Egypt and wrote
book on a rare and virgin theme-the Pyra-
mids; and being seized some time afterward with
political ambition, he achieved the eclaam tri-
umph Of seat in the State Senate Aspirations

this eminent citizen.
The only difficulty In the way Il this-a mere
triGe. When Mr.. Diapers resignation left an
awkward vacancy In the Board Of Police Com
missioners some months since, Mr.. Wood pro-
posed several names among others that Of
James L. Cooley. The name was at first receiv-
cd with some favor; but when General Nyes
view was taken, he expressed his opinion Of Mr..
Cooley 70 numerically that the name was drop
ped, a. one that could not under any circum-
stances be acceptable to the republicans This
being reported to Mr.. Cooley, no sat him down,

could only recommend the lady TO try her

more Of Madame until the hunger movement
again brought her to our notice. The philan-
thropic disinterestednes with which she came
forward to offer her time and talents for the re
lief Of the masses struck US as promising
adaptation of large means to small end.
Madame must have been herself keenly alive to
the disproportion, seeing that her proposal was

THE RECENT MILITARY PANIC IN WALL
SrEEEr-If q posse of Dead Rabbits were to
march into Grace Church some pleasant Sabbath
afternoon during the progress Of q drowsy
sermon, and If one u the posse we're to mount
velveted pew and Break forth into stump
speech against the Goldfish aristocracy, we may
imagine that there would be a sensation and
lively futiering among the silk Goances. But
the ludicrous effects of this sacrilegcous outrage
could not exceed the ridiculous consequences Of
the stampede created in Wall street the other
day by the unexpected invasion of harmless
procession Of idle vagabonds. The bankers,
brokers, shavers, sharpers, bulls, bears and
lame ducks OF that sacred street were instantly
thrown into panic compared with which ali
other Wall street panics were mere moonshinc
The fact IT, these Wall street gentry knew that
they were responsible TO very great extent
for all the evils Of this revulsion, and the con-
viction suddenly flashed upon them that popu-
lar vengeance, Judge Lynch and his posse conf
,atus we're at their doors. Bankers, brokers and
sharpers thus saw in this procession Of savage
looking workingmen Reign of Terror, or a
terrible descent Of the Gotbs and vandals In
search Of specie payments.
Mr.. Cisco, of the Sub-Treasury, with several
millions Of Uncle Sans gold In his keeping,
fairly trembled in his shoes, and sought counsel
Of Captain Rynders, who, in his turn, was
frightened-for the first time perhaps in twenty
years--at the visible presence OF company Of

MAcAULAY's HIsToRY OF ENGLAND.-A cor
respondent of one of the daily papers Of New
York says, 1.-The fifth volume Of Macaulay's
History Of England is said to be nearly ready
for the press. and may be expected in July.
1t will bring the narrative down to the death
of William ILL.,, in 1902. Macaulay is in his
ffty-seventh year, with indifferent health
Heis said to have arrived at the conclusion,
already drawn by the public, that it is wholly
useless to continue the idea of writing a his
tory Of England down to such arecent date as
he originally intended. When two volumes
FIRST appeared, nearly nine years ago, he an.
nounced that he proposed TO write History
OF England from the accession of King James
the Second, down to a time which is within
the memory of men still living That is,
down to the end of the American war, in
l7S3-exactly the concluding period Of Lord
Mahon's (now Earl of Stanhope) History
In nine years, Macaulay has written the an.
mails to the close Of James reign, and only the
opening nine years OF William and Mary. At
this slow rate, it would take ninety. one add.
tional volumes, and ninety one more wears to
bring the work down to 1888. Therefore. il
is said, he has been persuaded to close Ills
history at the death Of Queen Anne, in l7l4.
the actual close OF the Stuart dynasty as reign
ing monarchs.

BRAVE AND CONSCIENTIOUS SHIPMAsTER.
We recently stated that the body Of Capt.
Corning, was picked up off Liverpool light,
he having been lost in the dreadful gales OF
January last. When the vessel struck, the
pilot Immediately abandoned his charge, and
called upon all hands to save themselves.
The captain Immediately charged him with
running his vessel fair on to the rocks,
and then being the first to seduce his officers
and crew to leave him. In the meantime the
boats had been got over the side, and were
being rapidly filed. The captain had his
wife put into one of them, and then was
urged to abandon the ship and get in himself
this he refused to do, saying that it was
shame for officers to be the first to leave their
ship. He then asked il no one would stand
by him; boy said he would stand by him.
and went to his side 4; the first officer, who
was about getting into the boat, also returned
and the three were left on board to battle with
the storm, IN disabled ship, and an awful
night coming on. During the night she went
down with these three devoted men, martyrs
to duty. The boy was colored lad of phila.
delphia, and his mother is manumtted Wiz.

DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIrs One dollar
bills OF the Liberty Bank, at Providence, r.
Id altered to tens, are in circulation in this
vicinity and the same alteration is so skillully
done that only the very best judges of money
can detect them. The vignette in the centre
of the bill, is that of boys stopping horse
and, on the right hand, lower corner of the
bill, is a child's head. and on the left hunter
with dog. These vignettes are only found
on the genuine ones. Five doiiar counter

also in circulation in large quantities-some
of which are well executed, while others are

INsoLvENcY.-We stated, last week, on the
authority of the Fitchburg ReUeille, that among
the meetings of the Court of Insolvency would
be hearing in the case of Larkin Smith, upon
the petition of his creditors; but il should have
been creditor, as but one has appeared, and his
claim is denied. Mr.. John F. Pond has petit
toned that Mr.. Smith may be forced into insol.
vency; but we understand that his other credi
tors oppose it, and Mr.. Smith denies the debt,
saying that the notes attempted to be proved are
o. no value. We know nothing of the merits of
the case on either transcript.
