NEW YoRK. Feb. q

horrible tragedy occurred in the rear
of Elizabeth street, yesterday morning. A
mulatto girl, named Ann Maria Bosley
Cogey, made n brutal attempt to take the
life of her mother, while the latter was ly-
ing asleep in bed. The matricide buried an
axe in the head of her parent, ard then at
tempted to strangle her with some pillows
and bedding. Plumber was the motive
which actuated the daughter in thus at
tempting to destroy her mother. On being
arrested, Ann Maria confessed her crime,
and said she had been instigated to the COM
mission of the crime by her paramour, Eli
jah Martin, who was anxious to have the
old woman put out of the way, so that he
might obtain her money. z s4-s.

WASHINGTON Feb. g,


The Navy Department is in receipt of of
fetal advices from the coast of Africa an
nouncng the visit, search seizure and burn
ing of an American vessel by a British
cruiser. The following is statement of the
affair, by Peter Carlinda, one of the crew of
the burnt vessel:
i shipped ON the American brig Rufus
Soule, Captain Anderson, at Matanzsa, on
the 9th of July, and sailed, as understood,
for Fernando Pc; just sighted Cape De
Verde Islands, and the next land we 1aade
was the African coast, near Banda Point
Soon after we saw a steamer coming towards
US, and she sent boat; the Captain of the
steamer Viper, and another officer with him,
came aboard +; they asked for the papers
and mustered the crew, and questioned all
about where we belonged. was at the
wheel; heard the captain of the Viper tell
Captain Anderson that he would give him
one hour to make up his mind, and if he
did not deliver up his vessel he would take
her in tow, and the captain returned on
board his own vessel, leaving the other of
icer with US. In half an hour the signal
was given for the English to open the
matches. then saw, for the first time, that
our flag had been hauled down. The Eng
llsh officer then waved his handk erchief to
the Viper, and the captain of the steamer
came on board; the matches were then OPEN
ed, and he ordered US tc get our clothes
ready to 60 on board the steamer After
wards they brought from the brig all her
sails and small stores the brig was set on
fire about 7 o'clock in the evening, and
burned all night. In the morning, several
shots were fred at her before going down.
| heard it said by some of the crew of the
Niper, that she was burned because they
had no men to send away in her and that
they had orders to burn one out of every
three vessels takena We got under way in
the afternoon, and were landed on the beach
at Kabenela.
The correspondence between the Com
mander of the Vincennes and the Captain of
the Viper shows that the American flag was
flying at the time of the seizure, and that
the captain threw his papers overheard when
called upon to show them. The circum-
stances of the case leave little room to doubt
that she was a SLAYER.

Reg. A scoundrel who gives his name as
Howard, representing himself ms Lonis-
vile policeman, arrived in this city several
days ago, pretending TO be in search of a
girl whom he alleged had stolen large sum
of money. He made known the object OF
his visit to one OF our officers here, the lat
ter promptly agreeing to aid him in finding
the girl. After some search, the pretended
policeman stated that he had succeeded in
tracing the girl to a house in Lamasco,
where she was living with her mother. He
proceeded to the house, arrested the accused,
and took her to the Washington Hotel,
where he locked her up in room, ana, &C
cording to:the girls story, succeeded, in spite
of her efforts in outraging her person. The
man soon afterwards disappeared but was
arrested in the evening and lodged in Jail.

This gentleman, who is to lecture in this
city before our Library Association, on next
Thursday, delivered his second lecture in
Cincinnati, Monday night. Great interest
is manifested among all classes to hear him,
and il the Lecture Committee cannot engage
aim for two nights, they should have his
lecture delivered in the largest room in the
city, SO that all may have an opportunity to
he present. The Commercial says:
The most distinguished word-painter of
our American artist literateurs, delivered
his second brilliant descriptive lecture be-
fore the Y. NJ. Mercantile Library Associa-
ton Monday night. Had anything been
wanting previously in evidence OF his re-
markable popularity, there was ample testi-
nony upon the occasion TO have completed
the chain.
Long before seven o'clock a rapid stream
Of cultivated ladies and gentlemen over
flowed the entries to the spacious hall, and
at seven o'clock not only every seat was oc-
eupied, but the stage was crowded, people
stood in the aislcs, some even sat down de-
licerately upon the mating which covers the
floor, and hundreds were turned away dis
appointed from the portals.
If Mr.. Taylor had doubted in the least his
fame, last night left him no room upon that
subject for skepticism. His audience, ire
mendous as it was-could not have been
improved in this city if he had selected it.
His theme was Moscow, and discoursing
upon it, he presented such number and
variety of subjects, that it would be vain to
essay a compression of them within our cir
camscribed limits.
