Thousands Of persons, not only in this eoun-

going OH between the late owner Of the above
property and those delegated to purchase it in
behalf Of the nation. Thousands, we say. with
barely concealed, Pent up feelings of indigna-

affair until at length 1t is brought to termina-
ton, and this hallowed spot Is secured to the
people. But the man-GOd forbid that the
name he bears should ever be held in deteSta-

vantage of peoples gratitude and patriotism,
well deserves the reprOach and contempt Of the
present and all future generations.
II is estimated that this property is really
worth about $50 per acre, but even allowing 1t
to be worth double that amount, this man-thIS

however, is quite willing to receive $1,000 Of

GREAT DESTRUCTION or LAGER BEER.-Nlr.
Felix CoSte has cave in ST. Louis, Mo-, for the
deposit Of the beer made at his establishment,
in which was stored away about 5000 barrels
lager beer. 1t is situated in the immediate
neighborhood Of the House of Refuge There,
it seems an immense body of water had accu-
INFLATED from the recent heavy rains, and the
city authorities attempted to find an outlet for
it In doing this, the whole body of water was
precipitated into Mr.. COSte'S cave The bar
relS Of lager beer commenced floating about
the bungs, never driven very firmly in, were
forced out, and the contents of the whole 5000
barrels were lost The water escaped through
the natural channel, aud Wednesday morning
the cave was free from water and beer. The
loss is thirty Thousand dolars-and it is pre-
stunned that a lawsuit will have to determine
whether the city is not liable for the unskillful-
ness Of its officers.

ARE WE TO STAND lT2-Wc mean, are VIC to
allow the insOlent British cruisers, down there
in the Gulf of Mexico, to bring to or fire into
our vessels, under prctext of cover Of breaking
up the slave trade. We are glad, very glad, to
see that the indications are that we nre not to
put up with any such proceedings any longer
than "orde,s" can get from Washington to the
gulf What that order is that has been sent by
the Secretary of State and the Navy, is Of course
known only to the ''government"-but we opine
it will ere long be heard of in the report of some
Long Tom" or "Dahlgrecn" cannon. lisa nice
thing, to be sure, if we are to be insulted on
our own coast, by CLAIM of the exploded
fright of search" doctrine on the part of Great
Britain.
Within the last three weeks the following
outrngcs have been committed:
Ship Tropic Bird, fired into. boarded and
searched.
Bark Clara Windsor, fred into, bearded and
searched.
Bark Glenhurn, overhauied at sea-
Bark w. G. Chandler, boarded and searched
while lying at anchor in the port Of Sasua Ia
Grande.
Twelve other vessels also boarded and searched
in the hsrbor Of Sogua la Grande.
Brig Robert Wing, fired into, boarded and
Schooner winsold, fired into, boarded and
searched.
Schooner Cortez seized, and now detained at
Iuagua.
Schooner n, W. Borden, fred into, boarded
and searched.
Schooner Mobile fired into, boarded and
searched.
Such demonstrations as these are alittle moro
we apprehend, than the American people, never
over-wseningIy fond Of the Britishers, are in
clincd to stand. Whether there cruisers are
authorized or not, to commit these dcpredations
by their papers from hoFne, it is high time that
VIC should riddle two or three of them, and So,
no odds who's to blame, break up the bust
ness.
The next news VIC hope, win he that these
fellows have been taken down peg or two.

THE COLLIER suiT.-The newspapers through
out the country are taking laugh over the ter
nination Of the Collier Cof Steubenvic) suit
Underneath the laughing and everything else,
it seems to us that there must be X serious
".tick in the mud" somewhere. The case is, or
was, this: Mr.. Collier was appointed Collector
OF Customs to California After leaving office,
the Government claimed that Mr.. G. was de-
fauter to the amount of $70l 900. The Gov
e nmcnt sued Mr.. Collier. The verdict resulted
in his favor. The case was appealed. 1t was
finally disposed of on Monday week last. The
Court decided that instead VI Mr.. Collier owing
the Government $TOl 900, the Government owed
him $4,000. Quite difference.
We suppose now, it will be left for tho judg.
ment day to determine how the idea of default
was ever started, and how the books ever came
to show s7OI,OOO on the wrong side of the
ledger.

O. p. Baldwin, ESQ.

This distinguished Lecturer and ac-
complished gentleman appears before the
public of Norfolk on Monday, Friday and
Thursday Evenings Of next week. As
Mir. B. is no stranger to our people, hav-
ing visited us in this capacity twice be-
fore, it is almost unnecessary to allude to
those characteristics, which render his
Lectures so deservedly popular, selecting
as he does topics of general interest. He
throws around them the charm of his in
mitable humor; and withal treating his
subject in clear forcible and mastery
manner. Doubtless many Of our readers
retain vivid recollection those sallies of
wit and satire, which our Lecturer enun-
ciated in the very coolest and most ini-
different style, to the utter discontinue
of every thing like gravity in his audito-
ry-and we very much mistake the case
if he is not greeted on this, his third night,
with increased evidence of appreciation
on the part Of our Lecture going public.
But there is another reason why hearty
and generous support should be given in
to these Lectures, to which we must be
permitted to refer The present course
of Lectures under the auspices of the Lit
erary and Scientific Institute, is one of
which any City might feel Justly proud
of. Gentlemen of high literary and
scientific attainments have appeared be-
fore us. The names of Youman, billiard
and Marine are such as would almost
seem to guarantee success, and yet while
they fully sustained their reputation, we
speak by authority when we say that the
projectors Of this enterprise are at the
present stage of the course, in doubt as
to its pecuniary success Then, will not
our citizens regard the two fold appeal
which we thus make, and unite to rem
der the remainder of the course triumph
antly successful, and thus secure for sue
ceeding winters, these pleasant and pro-
titable entertainments.
