Arrest Of the Captain Of hand Of ,eoRebesra

Arrest Of the Captain eta Band Of eoRebbsra
The Allsgan (Mchigan) Recorder report.
the arrest Of man named Bell, alias Sweet
ling, at Pier Cove, about twenty-five toiles
west of that place, and gives the following
particulars:
Bell, or Swelling, was snown to be very
desperate, and consequently hrs arrest had to
be arranged with caution. 1t was ultimately
effected, just as he had taken his seat at the
dinner table, by one officer seizing him around
the arms, while another rushed from conceal
ment, and, in less time than it takes to relate
the fact, ironed the prisoner. A hurried
search was made Of the prisoners person, but
nothing beyond an old jack knife was found
The three then instantly started for this place;
but they had not proceeded more than half
a mile before Carpenters suspicious were
awakened by his elbow coming in contact
with some hard substance under the prison
er's arm, and it was thought expedient to
make another and more thorough examina-
ton of his person. A halt was made, and
two Colts revolvers, four inch barrels, loaded
and capped, were taken from his person, hav-
ing been secreted one under each arm, and a
formidable bowie knife was found hidden in
his right boot. A thousand dollars in coun-
terfeit money was likewise taken from him.
The prisoner recognized Carpenter, and
was exceedingly earnest in getting promise
to be kept out of the hands Of the mob when
they should reach Dubuque. From this time
he became very talkative and communicative.
We gather from conversation with Mr.. Gar
rison, the following antecedents of Bell or
Sweethng: For two or three years he has
been captain of gang Of one hundred and
sixty robbers, on the banks of the Mississippi.
He lived in a perfect palace on the Iowa
bank, and passed as aretired physician, which
enabled his gang to visit him without suspic-
ion. They owned several boats, in which they
were accustomed 20 run their punder to
southern market. The goods or property
which was yearly stolen by tie gang amount
ed to between fifteen and twenty thousand
dollars. About a fortnight ago, an attempt
was made to arrest Sweetlng on one Of his
boats, but he escaped after oeirg wounded
on the forehead by pistol ball. 1t was from
this event that he was followed. The cargo
on the boat on which Sweetling vas acting as
skipper, was valued at $4,000. His hiding
place at Pier Cove was discovered by the in
Perception of letter.

Separation of Dickens and his WIFE.

Charles Dickens and his wife have ,epara-
ted. The Herald's London correspondent in
Inmates that the cause of this determination
of happy life oftwenty-two years i, not in,
compatibility of temper, as has been currently
reported, but Mr.. Dickens intimacy with Miss
Ternan, young actress, well known on the
London and Manchester boards, who has as
sisted him in the recent private thestricals
which have been got up tor charitable pur
poses in certain circles of London society,"
The implication of the correspondent is, that
Mrs. Dickens, who is conceded to be wo
man of spotless life and character, took offence
at the frequency Of the young lady's visits at
her house. The correspondent adds:
Dickens does not get much sympathy, the
public generally deciding, as it does usually
IN such cases, Ill favor OF the lady. Mr.. Dick
ems daughters reside with the father, but his
son, Charles, sticks to his mother.
Some years ago, you may have heard,
Miss Burdett Coutts offered to take Mr.. Dick
ems son, (Chsrles) then a child, bring him
up and provide for him, with the understand
ing that she should have the privilege Of ed
ucating him in the faith of the Church of
England. Boz not only accepted the offer
at once, but formally withdrew, with all his
family, from the Unitarisns, where he had
been constant attendant and worsbipper Cor
many years. This was looked on, and Just
ly, by Mr.. Dickens friends as very great
weakness, and furnished material for many a
bon not, that no one could SO well portray the
hypoerisies and time serving of others as he
who spoke from experience"
A late London letter has the following:
Though the Household acords still con-
tinues its weekly course, the household of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Dickens is at SKIES and sew
ems. There's division between my lord and
my lady, and "a mensa ct Horo is to be the
order of the separation. The daughters side
with pater the son with mater The wife of
certain NJ. Z. who upset Lord Pam and his
ministerial crew, the infatuated correspondent
of Orsini, is said to be mixed up in the affair
DO as ! write, and not as | do is evidently
the motto of the author of those pretty little

Runaray Slaves Captured. The Holmes
vile (Mass.) Independent of the 25th ult,
says.
Burrell Andrews and James Greer, citizens
of this county, brought into town, yesterday,
for imprisonment in Jail, three runaway ne
groes-a man and two women, whom they
had captured while pilfering around their
premises at night The negroes had with
them a sack of bread, baked goose, flour
and other eatables, together with gun, am
unition, knives, etc. The negroes claim to
belong to the same master, living in the State
ef Virginia, and that they runaway from him
some time ago while he was preparing to
remove to Texas. They have had quite
travel, by night, in the same direction, tho
perhaps, not aware oft.

The War liz India,

Disufection Of the NatiUcs.-Mr. Russell,
the special correspondent of the London Times
in India, in letter dated April 2l, writes as
follows:
Another days march nearer TO Rohilcund,
another day of heat and burning winds and
dust under the frail covering of the canvas.
Our march this morning thirteen miles,
but the average mornings journey is not more
than ten miles. This may seem a small march
for war times of pressing urgency, but we
must move with our baggage and supplies;
because, so far as | can see, this is the first
occasion on which we have ever had to en-
counter an enemy more formidable than our
open foes-l mean the ill-will and opposition
of the mass of the people. Formerly we had
wars with princes and armies, we had to con
tend against Mysoreans, Mahrattas Sikhs, or
Beooches and once the battle was won, OPP
position vanished, the people accepted the
situation; there were no popular risings, and
all except the armed classes were quiescent
and passive. But now like field of corn
stricken by the wind, the population bends as
we pass, but to rise again. Franks marches
victoriously from the Congra to the Goomtee,
but insurrection is not crushed by the foot
steps of his force. Rose has relieved Saugor
and punished Jhans, but the country is up
in his rear and his communications are threat
ened. 1t has struck me much that the ma
tives do not come into our camps. So far as
can see the population around us hold aloof,
and do not seek To- carry on even that small
traffic in fruit and srch luxuries in which our
soldiers would so willingly engage. There
can be no question respecting the dsatlection
of large body of the people to our rule, for
we can gain no reliable information Of the
movements of the enemy close at hand
If the people we see around US, who are
ten or twelve to ono as compared with US in
this camp, were to-ho, not to arm and cut
our throats, or poison US, or anything Of the
sort-but oere simply, this night, to bid US
a silent good bye, and leave us, India would
be lost to US in day. 1t requires only that,
and all the power of England could not hold
the Eastern empire. Why, we could not
even strike our tents without these men to
morrow! We are dependent on them
even the common soldier is-for the water
we drink and the meals"we eat, for our trans
port, and for all but the air We breathe land
the latter, it must be admitted, is no. mprov-
ed by them sometimes.) Tie moment that
such a thing becomes possible as popular
desertion-irom patriotic or any motives
from the service of the State, it becomes i'm
possible to hold India, except upon sufferance
We are, in fact, wagng war with Hindoos
and Mussulmans, by the aid and with the
consent of Hindoos and Mus,ulmans Just as
Alexander was able to beat Porus by the aid
of his Indian allies, and no Europeans or 9th
er State can ever rule in lnd;a without the
cooperation of the races which inhabt the
vast peninsula.

property. In the event Of the death of the
claimant, prior to the issuing of the warrant,
this act also provides that the title to the

AnOther Reported Atteapt TO -AssassiRate
Louis Napofeon.-The Liverpool Journal of
June II, has a letter from its Paris CORE
spondent in which the writer says that an at
tempt was recently made on the Emperor's
at Fontaincbleau, and that in spite of the at
tempts to hush it up, the facts have come to
light and are as follows:
The Emperor was riding slowly on horse
back little in advance Of the rest Of the
party by whom he WIS accompanied. Sud
denly his horse reared, and SHE'D at some
unseen danger, and the Emperor, who is a
first rate horseman, instantly aware, as if by
presentiment, of coming evil, threw himself
to one side, just as a perfect yolley was fired
over him. The aSsassins were ten ia number,
all Italians; four have been taken, while the
remainder up to the present moment, have
escaped.
The writer adds:
1t is this latter fact which has caused that
sudden rdfe amongst the Italians domicila-
ted in Paris, and which the orders of the po-
lice have rendered so stringent and severe,
together with the dismissal and disgrace of a
certain Corsican cheef de brigade of police, who
hitherto las been a great favoritc; both of
which events have created great talk and
suspicion Of the truth in Paris during the
past few days. OF the reality of the attempt
no doubt whatever exists, and the REALTORS
add that the Emperors' horse was shot SO Sc
verey in the neck that he died the same
evening.

A fearful tornado visited our city vester-

but half an hour, its effects were visible in
every quarter to an extent never before known
after storm Of such short duration. The
streets were completely inundated, and for
while the fierce winds made sad havoc with
all movable objects, starting trees, roofs.
chimneys, sigus, wagons, and objects of less
note, whir!ing them Ike feathers about the
streets. Among the more serious accidents
in the city were the partial destruction of a
church in Flftyfourth street; the demolishng
OF the chimney Of the Methodist Book Con
Germ, ty which the roof Of a neiChborinc
house was broken in, and a woman badly in
jured; the unroofIng ola dyeing establishment
In Eighteenth street. BY which two men were
seriously injured, and horse killed; the un-
roofing Of the stables Of the Seventh avenue
omnibus line, IuJuTinE one man, and hosller
of the stable being struck by lightning.-
Fortunately. 50 far as We can learn, there was
no loss of life in the city, though the injuries
of some of the wounded may possibly prove
fatal. The dsmage 10 property, however, is
extensive, and indeed more 50 than would
seem credible from the limited time in which
the storm continued. At Hunters Point
