ADJUSTMENTS LAST EVENING.

We absorbed no inspiration at the Theaters last
night, and remarks will be brief and not witty,
even though brevity is the soul of wit. The houses
at the Varieties and the Amphtheater were mode T.
ate, and the pieces repetitions. At the a.
retes the gorgeous scenic drama, The Sea of Ice,
was performed for the last time, and generally ex.
ceently well done as heretofore Though we have
seen enough Of it during its run, are sorry to bid
it goodbye, and feel certain regret that we hay e

mission indeed, thrown aside into the lumberroom of

GOLD DISCOVERIES IN ADMINISTRATION the Oma-

lowing:
Quite an excitement prevails in town to day, in
consequence of reported discoveries of gold the
military bridge in the north part of the city, As
as we can learn, some emigrants who are encamped
at the place above Indicated, in trying their spades
and shoyels in the banks OF the creek yesterday,
found a small quantity of yellow, shining metal,
which, on examination, proved to be gold dust. The
consequence is, that two q three hundred men are
nov digging, the military bridge, in search of
more. Even of our citizens are prospecting
there for gold. We think they may as well spare
their labor. That gold was found it is true but if
there be any truth in geology that is not the soil in
which it can exist. How the dust that has been dis.
covered ever got there, is mystery that we cannot
explain But the most reasonable supposition s that
it was scattered there unintenonalIy by some Cali,
fornian, on his return.
rumor has prevailed in the city for few days,
that three men, named Forbes, Martin and McCarty,
recently hung by the emigrants, about one hun

respondent of the Newport - News tells the fol-
lowing anecdote of Napoleon the First:
Among my old French acquaintances here, many
years snce was one old sapan, NJ. C--lli. formerly
attached to Napoeons corps scientific. He accom-
panied him into Egypt, and was one of those whom
Napoleon ordered as follows: The savans and jack

sionate an admirer of the Emperor. Among the
many incidents be recounted of Napoleon, shall jot
down one for you? At the time Napoleon was gen.
eral of the army OF Italy, he was very spnre and
youthful looking. While laying siege to Milan, and
confident of its surrender, he quartered himself at
the palace of an aristocratic Italian lady, who was
bitter in her hostility and sarcastic in derding the
youth and inexperience OF the young general. AZ

The Galveston News of Tuesday last sa,
UBIQUITOUS,

The Galveston News of Tuesday last says:
At our last accounts the Trinity river was rising
and there was some prospect OF navigation, for
which there are several thousand bales of cotton
the several landings is about as follows at Tuska-
loosa 1000 bales, Cairo 1000, Alabama $780, Halls
Bluff 1000, Magnolia 5000, Parkers Bluff 1900.
The News publishes letter Of the 5th inst from
Bastrop. from which we extract the following:
Since yesterday morning, have passed through
the counties Of Harris, Austin, Washington, Fayette
and part of Rasrop, and / find the accounts of the
injury done by the frost very much exaggerated
Along the highlands, over which the road mostly
passes, the damage both to and cotton has beer
very trifiDg, but in the bottoms probably onehal
the cotton has been damaged, and d large portion o
the corn. In nearly every instance where the corr
has been repanted, it is up again and looking well
and the cotton that looked killed by the frost the day
it happened, is fast recovering from the effects of the
blight. and with good ran such as is now falling
while | am writing, will come out again and be
good stand. Everything looks backward on account
of the drought, which has lasted about two months
though the accounts we received last week Of the
damage sustained by the FROST have been so greatly
exaggerated, thought it better to drop you line
two before going farther such reports carried tc
the North and elsewhere calculated to do serious
injury to the State. Much of our business credit as
State, in New York and Boston, is based upon oul
crops and so far learn from others, the pros
poets were never better True, the cotton is some
what late, but the stands along the road, which gen
orally passes through the best lands are very good
and there is nothing yet to indicate short crop.
The Austin Intelligencer of the 9th says:
We are sorry to learn that the frost killed much O.
the fruit. The destruction is not general.
The passengers on the Houston stage, report heavy
rains on the road, and say the damage sustained BY
the frost is not near so great as was first anticipated
The crops generally, presented a promising aspect.
The Gonzales Inquirer says:

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH-About three months
ago Mr.. Lewis Applegate, an old and respectable
citizen of Brooklyn, was engaged in pairing down a
corn of his toes when he cut too deep, caus.
ing it to bleed. He took cold in the wound, which
caused it to infame to such extent that about two
months since it found necessary to amputate the
toe. After this operation he grew worse in conse-
quence of there being not sufficient vitality in the
limb to heal the wound Erysipeas set in, and this
HRntllnllY caused his denth.

The POWER OF THE MONEY LENDERs.-The New
York Evening Post has the following;
As consequence of the Mortara affair." an attempt
has been made to enforce in AUSTRIA under the Con
cordat, the regulation that no Christian servant
should enter Hebrew family. This fact has been
noticed by the Jewish merchants Of Europe, and at
Frankfort wealthy stock kbroker, says the Jewish
Messenger "after the evening change moved that
Israelite should in future do business in any des
cription of Austrian stock. The motion was carried
by aeclamation and the result forwarded to Vienna.
In Amsterdam the wealthy houses of Lehren, Rubens
aud Others resolved to taboo Austrian paper and Ba-
ron James Rothschild, Of Paris gave teegraphic in
structions to bis nephew to wait on Count Buo, and
demonstrate with him. He is said to have observed
to the minister that he was cosmopolte and could
live as well elsewhere as in Austria.'
The result Of this commercial demonstration was
that Austria, preferring to offend the Holy Father
rather than the Jewish merchants gave orders to the
officers of the different provinces not to throw diff
cu!ties in the way of those Hebrew families who
might wish to engage Christian servants.
The Baron Rothschd to whom few European po.
tentates could dare deny audience. had recently
personal interview with the Emperor Francis Joseph,
in which he represented to that monarch the unpopu.
arty Of the law that has been suddenly repealed
The Emperor replied that he knew nothing of it.

STEAMBOAT Collision AND Loss OF L1FE-The
steamboat Lucie May was sunk in the Upper Missis-
sippi on the 9th instant by collision with the steam
boat Cedar Rapids the latter descending and the
former ascending the river. The st. Louis Repub.
lican says:
On Friday, the 9Th instant, when eight miles above
Quincy, at twenty minutes past two o'clock, a. NJ.
the night being beautiful and starlight, and the
river broad, the steamer Cedar Rapids came in col
lsion with the Lucie May, Capt. John Rhodes
striking her about mdships the starboard side an6
apparently cutting her to the kelson.
the collision occurred The Lucie May reached the
shore, where she sunk in about five minutes to the
cabin floor. The Cedar Rapids was not damaged
with the exception of some bruises about her bow
and rounded to and went to the assistance of the
fortunate boat. The river was full of boxes barrels
and other freight, in the vicinity.
or course there was a stampede among the pas
sengers of the Lucie May and all were hurried from
their berths in their night clothing not waiting to
dress or even secure their garments. Many of the
ladies' were with difficulty prevented from jumping
overheard from the boiler deck and guards. When
the boat reached the shore an attempt was made to
make her fast, and stage plank was gotten out
The boat could not be secured to the Shore however
and number of gentlemen who rushed out on the
stage were preciptated into the river
None of the cabin passengers were drowned. All
finally succeeded in gaining sure footing on dry
land. Three deck passengers of the Lucie May
named Martin Robinson, Patrick Minus and Corne
lus johnson, are missing, and were doubtless
drowned.
Many of the passengers lost all their effects, and
one man lost his pocketbook, containing $1,000 in
bills. The Cedar Rapids took on board the sunker
boats passengers.

ing Ceestals, that the seat Of mans soul is bis
stomach for doubtless about as much of John China
mans intellect is mixed up with his unparalleled
digestive apparatus which sticks at nothing nutri-
tous as finds location in his shaven Uranium. Sen.
sibe of such being the case the mandarin philoso-
pliers promulgated the theory, and while always al
lowing that its application beyond the Great Wall
plausibly demonstrable, we were not, until now,
ready to grant that any other variety of the human
species was similarly constituted But the time has
come when we finally convinced that the Chinese
have brethren of kind among the Caucasian race,
and that the genus "Parsian lterat' may be added
to the list of Asiatc millions who carry their souls
about in their stonachs with their dinners. We
ess that to this way Of thinking we long since had
certain inclination, philosophic reflection having
been melted by remarking the genius and art which
is devoted to pleasing the stomach, and inducing the
adoption of the opinion that the modern Gauls con-
slider the abdominal region the most respectable and
important part OF the body. But all hesitation to
final conclusion is now done away by one Of the
droest of dro items of very important foreign in
teigence. 1t tells how a number Of the literary
men Of Paris, ardent admirers Of the dngy romancist
Dumas, gave dinner in his honor at the restaurant
of certain professor of the high art Of cookery
whose name we Will not publish, as we should get
nothing for the advertisement Of his cook shop. The
spread was magnifque the assembled literati put
the vands in their stomachs along with their souls
and gladdened them with their exquisite flavor. The
illustrous author, to do honor to whom they had
come together, was overshadowed and his greatness
eclipsed and they saw only him who had made their
souls eate, the unequaled naare de cuisine and as
though he had been patriot hero returning from
the rout Of tyrant foemen, the lterat mounted the
artist in victuals upon their shoulders and bore him
round the hall in triumphal procession, chanting
paaus in his praise Realized art had practically
ferred with ideal appreciation, and the sympathetic
union Of souls was firmly cemented. This would
sound suspicious If its Frenchness did not render it
as probable as it is true but who would believe the
story if it told how Irving, Longfeow, Everett and
other professors of the School of American letters,
carried cook around the room on their shoulders
because he had tickled their illustrious stomachs

Another person soon after came in and cut the wo.

office at Jetfersonville on Saturday morning. He
placed shot gun the floor and then leaning over

ball entered the sternum and passed through his
body, ranging downwards. English appeared to be
