RECEPTION OF GEN. HENNINGsEN.-The
New Workers had another opportunity on
Thursday to indulge their weakness for
ovations to distinguished 'personages. On
the arrival of the Illinois, large crowd
collected for the purpose Of greeting Gen.
Henpingsen and other noted fllibusters.
they landed amid repeated cheers, and a
general rush of the crowd. The Mirror
says.
Among those on the steamers pier were
Colonel Fabens, Col. Frauk Anderson, the
Walker Ncaraguah Consul, Gen. Cazeneau,
Thomas Francis Meagher, Captain Bolton,
and many other distinguished and noted
fllibusters and sympathisers in the cause
who prepared an open brouche, drawn by
four iron gray horses for the Generals use.
As soon as he was able to get ashore, which
he accomplished before the vessel was fairly
into her dock, the General was escorted to
the barouche by some of his friends, sur
rounded by an immense crowd of people.
The barouche was then driven off up Cham
bers street to Broadway, and thence to the
st. Nicholas, followed by another carriage
filled with his personal friends.

of Chinaman, from being killed in ma
chine shop. He was carrying some parcels
through the sewing establishment of d
Hesse, ON j. street between 18th and 9Th
streets. The machines four in number, are
propelled by small steam engine, the
connecting shaft running the whole length
of the building. Carelessly backing too
near his tail was caught in the shaft and
was dragged to the floor. The head be-
coming jammed between the floor and the

was soon asertained, and the machinary
was at once reversed and the Chlnaman
was enabled to regain his feet. He then
wound up the tail, put it in his hat and

termen being on the tickets of both Ever

on the first ballot The question being moot

necessary to prevent all disputes, to count
all the names on each ticket IA on each.
This delayed the Convention for consid-
erable time during which, and previous to
the next ballot Mr., Ever withdrew.

settled the long agitated question '+SHALL
