At the several ports they continued to gather large
quantities of salt. Since last report 46, 83l bushels
had been exported, and about 400 900 bushels re-

the order of arrest under which Lieutenant Odevane
and Doctor Ireland, of the British soop Of war Sap
pho, held charge of having illegally arrested
the American ship Psnchita, on the coast of Africa,
as a supposed SLAYER. A report of the proceedings
will be found in another part of the HERALD. The
correspondence and the afldavits on both sides are
interesting, and will form new topic in contrast
with the dull details of the Street Commissioners
controversy. Judge Ingraham denied the motion
to vacate the order of arrest and thus the British
officers remain amenable to the laws of the United
States for arresting q vessel on lawful voyage.
The facts however, remain to be developed before
jury of the federal courts.
Several witnesses in the Conover contempt case
were examined yesterday before the referee, Henry
Hilon, Esq., but there are still quite a number yet

The Health Commissioners met yesterday. The

The Excise Commissioners paid visit yesterday
to the First ward, for the purpose of ascertaining
by personal inspection the character of the localities
in the ward where liquor is sold, and To enable them
to use proper discretion in granting licenses in the
ward. The character of the places visited may be
gathered from report Of the visit, in another 90
lumn. From This report it will be seen that the
Commissioners have already decided that they will
grant no licenses to the propretors Of the cellar
grogshops 80 abundant in the ward.
The Committee of the Corporation charged with
the awarding of General JAckson's gold box to the
most valiant son of New York has received several
written Communications on the subject since its last
meeting. Sergeant Hugh Mcdonnell, late of the
Second regiment of United States Artillery, claims
the prize. Sergeant Mcdonnell is a brave soldier
and modest man. He has participated in all the
stirring scenes of the Mexican campaign, and was
particularly distinguished at the siege OF Vera Cruz
and Moline der Rey. At Vera Cruz Mcdonnell
cooly lifted an unexpoded shell and pitched it over
the embankment of the trenc hes, thus at deadly
peril saving the lives of many officers and comrades.
The Sergeant has fair claim TO the box.
