WASHINGTON, May so

WAsHiN6IoS; May oV-P. N.
/. Surgeon Caldwell, attached to the U. s.
Ship Independence, under date of Panama
Bay, May sth, has unoficially notified the
Navy Department that he had been informed
of the existence of practicable route for a
ship canal from the gulf of San Miguel, Rio
Sarana, to Puerto del Principe, few miles
above which the tide ebbs-thence about
North by East over low ground to the Allan
tic ocean to Caledonia Bay, or little north
Of it. That the whole country is low, well
wooded and watered, and Astounding in game
and that small party can cross from Sarana
TO tine Atlantic and return, making path oil
road as they go, in less than ten days, with
out fear of Indians or disease. Surgeon
Caldwell having obtained leave of Commo-
dore Mervine, hastily explored the route, ard
reports the summit level Of the route from
Puerto del Principe westerly to the Atlantic
within eight miles of the Sarana would moi
prove insuperable to engineering skill, in tho
construction of u ship canal.
Gen. Walker has telegraphed that he viii
be in Washington as soon as possible.

Ton wALroLE.-Mr. Gregg, editor of the
New Albany Ledger speaking of Major Nor
rison's charges against Tom Walpole says:
Z As to the truth Of the Majors testimony,
we have nothing to say. 1t may be true.
and it may not. But we are really curious
to know when it was that Walpole withdrew
Infs opposition to the Bank Charter, that
should entitle him to. this or any other sum:
The last thing but one that we remember OF
his having done before the passage of the
bill, was to make a speech against it. AND
the very last thing he did, was to votC
against it. He voted against it both before
and after the veto of the Governor. In wha
way Their did he acquired a claim to thi:
bonus.

Tho Newburs Murder. Further Particulars.
NEW YORK, MAY 30-M.


The body of the murdered girl at Newburg
has been identified as the wife of Thomas
Brown, French negro belonging to Lowell,
formerly of Boston. Brown is at Newburg,
In custody. The Coroner had received let
ter from man in Lowell, stating his wife
vas missing, and gave such description of
Der that the coroner determined on making
further inquiry. He accordingly answered
the letter, and the postmaster at Lowell
.'spotted" Brown as calling for the answer.
Brown was examined beforc a coroner's Jury,
and he stated that he was married in 1850;
that his wife's name was Catharine Asbell;
she was born in the province of New Bruins
wick. He spoke of ksr - q white woman.
During the first year of their marriage, she
left him and went TO New York, and was alb
sent some two weeks; he went after her and
she returned Nith him; since that they had
resided together aTtr the 26th of last JAN
nary. In March, he kssrd that she was in
New York, and he went there after her. He
found her living with a white man. He had
some difficulty with this man and caused his
arrest, and had him brought before IL court
On q charge of abduction; he was dismissed;
and finally she agreed 10 return 10 Boston
with him but went back to New York again
in relation to n trial brought against her on
charge of grand larceny. This trial caused
her great deal of anxiety. She had re-
marked to him that if she was ever safely
out of this matter she could bid defiance to
ell her enemies.
Browns testimony to the coroner is cor
roborated by memorandum procured by the
coroner from New York. Brown also stated
that his wife had never borne children, but
that miscarriage was caused by her lifting
heavy tub. He says that while they were
together in New York threats had been made
against him, and he believed that it was dan
gerous for him to remain in New York, as
certain persons, who were well known as des-
perate characters, were aware that his wife
had made him acquainted with some of their
operations.
SECOND DISPATCH.
NEW YORK, May 30-P. n.
Brown gave to the jury the names and res
idence Of several persons, whose presence
was deemed important. and an officer wa:
sent to New York to procure witnesses, who's,
attendance is deemed essential. Brown:
fears that his wife had met with foul play
were first excited by reading in the papers
description of wu,aan found murdered neal
Newburg. He had written to her three times
without obtaining any answer. He went OF
to New York and inquired for the letters bu
did not obtain them.
