A MAN WITH THE HEAsT on TUE RIGHT SIDE OF
HIS BoDY.-At Cincinnati day or two ago man
died, who had been for some months an inmate of
one Of the Hospitals and whose disease had exhibits
ed such peculiar and unknown symptoms as to
battle the greatest skill of the best physicians IN
der the circumstances it was deemed advisable to
make post norton examination, when it was
found that in the diaphragm was large hole, and
that the intestiues had been forced up, and had
pressed the heart from its natural position to
the right side of his body whore it had performed
its functions for several years; the man himself
having been prevented from his daily labor only for
q few months.
THE EEGLIsH NoBLEMEN.-The st. Paul Pioneer

Csvendish and Mr.. Ashley, who went hunting in
the Red River valley, were killed by Indians isnOi
true It is not their throats bat their eye teeth,

heard Of them they we're paying one hundred dol
lars each for Red river carts, which we're worth
about Eve, and were plungiDg into wild career Of
speculation in broken down Red River horses"

The WANDERED AFFAIR-The Government hs
instituted energetic measures for the vindicatlon
the laws in this case. 1t has employed Judge Henri
r Jackson as associate counsel, who, with its YER
efficient District Attorney. is engaged in vgor
Gus prosecution of the investigation The publ
have an assurance in the well known character 0
these gentlemen, that effort will be withheld {
ferret out the facts and bring the offenders 10 trial
They will DO their whole duty, without regard 10 IN
efforts that may be made TO prejudice the publ
mind AGAINST an enforcement Of the law.
The judicial investigation Of the case commence
m SATURDAY. last before Judge Charles Henry,

and Aguirvi who were arrested some days ago, o

sci as may have brought over The slaves were b'ough
m for examination. MessTs Gsnahl, District Attor

prosecution; and MessTs Lloyd and Owens for the dc
/ PENDANTS But two witnesses were examined, d.
! Hazleburst Of Brunswick, and Collector Msbry,
the port of Darien. Our reporter was present dur
ing the examination, but it has been determined
others, more prudent not to publish the testmon
at present. We may briefly state that Dr. H. sEor
that he had been sent for to make professions
visit to the negroes while they were encamped o
Jeckyl Island, that he saw Them that they sppeare
TO be Africans of fresh importation, being who'll
unable to speak or comprehend the Engishla Language
After the testimony vas received the prisoner
were remanded to jail to await q further examina
ton. large number Of witnesses have been sub
ponaed at vcrious points the coast and IN the IN
terror and the proceedings are likely TO occupy th
Commissioners from time to time for several week
to come.
tits now pretty generally believed that the Wan
derer which is very small vessel, brought over n
slaves but was simply consort deeOy on the pas
SAGE and was used for landing the cargo from tn
main ship, which remained out at ses and was scut
tied so soon as her freight discharged. We fee
quite confident in stating that the account in tn
NeW York Herald of the 18th, Of the Wanderer'
having brought over selecI lot Of eighty slaves
which sold readily on their arrival at 500 each
has no foundation in fact. The letter In the sam
psper from an American officer on board the U.
shin Vinoennes, nov on the coast Of Africa, stsin
that the Wanderer had gone up the Congo river il
company with another vessel called the Helen, IL
October last, completely refutes the account give
