McCoRKLE AcQUrrTED.-James A. Nc
Corkle, late cashier Of the Peoples Bank at
Richmond, who absconded in November
last and went to San Antonio, Texas, under
the assumed name of James A. Hall, and
was arrested and brought back, has been
acquitted in the Wayne Circuit Court OF the
charge of forgery. At the commencement
of the trial a motion was made to quash the
indictment, which was discharged. The
trial created considerable interest in Rich
mond. The result was not unlocked for 10y
many cOnyerSant with the facts heading to
the arrest of McCorklc, while others still
believe him guilty of embezzling the funds
of the bank.

An arrival furnishes interesting iutelh-
-gence from Venezuela. 80 'ts '
President Castro had been seized and
compelled to surrender the Presidency by
the Constitutional party, after which he was
thrown into prison, and a close guard of one
hundred men set over him TO watch his
movements. - t
Some severe fighting had occurred, re-
sulting almost altogether in favor of the
Constituencies.
The utmost alarm prevailed in the coun-
try, and the general expectation was that
very sanguinary engagements were about TO
occur. Three thousand men were under
arms at Caracas, and resolved 10 deliver
their country from the FederaliSts, or to die
in the attempt. 49,, s-.a- .r

Finding Drowned Persons by q uick-
atlyer.

A correspondent of the Troy Times gives
the following narrative of an occurrence at
Shrewsbury Lake, VT, as coming under his
own observation:
The lake is noted now on account of the
death of n young man, a conductor on the
Rutland and Burlington Railroad, who was
drowned in it short time ago At the
time, he, with several others, were playing
"rocklng the boat making it dip water"
when, unluckily, they were all swamped,
and this young man, the best swimmer in
the party, was drowned. After long aud
almost hopeless search after the body, a very
novel idea was suggested, which, after trial,
proved successful in leading to the discovery
of his whereabouts. About three ounces of
quicksilver were put into a loaf of brorn
bread, well baked, and thrown out into the
lake. TIE loaf was discovered TO move d.
rectly against the wind soon it stopped,
whirled round several times, and sunk
They Immediately rowed to the place and
threw out the grapplers. The first time
they hooked his face; the second time the
hook fastened into his boot, and he was
hauled into the boat. Whore he was found
! the water was seventy feet Deep In his
pockets were large silver watch and a con-
siderable quantity of silver money, which
caused the attraction of the quicksilver, and
led to the discovery of his watery grave
| The accident, place, aud singular circum.
stances connected with the sad affair, render
it remarkable.

sBr The Journal Of Commerce thinks the
Republican General Committee of New York
have done more for Douglas than could be
done by any Democratic body. They have
presented an issue false in fact, but which, if
taken as true, will call for Douglas as the
man for the crisis. The man who is to pre-
vent the renewal of the African slave trade,
and prevent Congressional legislation for
the establishment and protection of slavery
N the Territories. They are likely to effect
more for the promotion of the election of
Mr.. Douglas than of Mr.. Seward. The Re
publicans of this State are likely to commit
the same blunder

JAPAN.-The japanese have been serious
ly offended by the entrance in March last of
two American vessels into the harbor of
Kanagama, port near the capital, Jeddo,
where they attempted to open trade with
the natives in anticipation of the opening
of the port, which was fixed in the Ameri-
can treaty to be four months later, or
sometime in July. Their conduct was
sanctioned by the American Consul, which
gave so much offence to the japanese
government that it is supposed they will
decline sending Commissioners to the U.
States.

great heiress, her property consisting
principally Of lands at Pittsburg. The Cap
tain, on removing there with her, to enjoy
the estate, attained much notoriety in yari-
Gus ways, and was familiarity known as the
"Duke of Hardscrabble" The Captain
finally returned to England, taking his
bride with him, and at the last election ne
stood for the borough of Wakesfield. He
was returned, but late English papers an
