LOUIS NAPoLxoS's 0BJEor IN AIDING SPAIN.
The London Daily News believes that Louis
Napoleon is using Spain as his catspaw in the
Spain Morocco war, his object being to obtain
control of the Straits Of Gibraltar and the
Mediterranean Sea, and says:
The Spanish Government, in their last ulti-
matum, demand ten miles Of the Moorish
coast around Ceuts, and opposite Gibraltar.
Probably, even if this demand had been COM
piled with, they would have sent fourth ulti-
matum, and have demanded twenty. 1t Is
pretty clear that their demand before the war
being what we have just seen, their demands
after the war will be all the territory that force
of arms can wrest from the Emperor Of Mo-
rocco, and possibly the whole coast from
Ceuta to Mogador. This would give them
the virtual command Of the Straits Of Gibraltar,
which are scarcely more than eighteen miles
wide, while the currents, the soundings, and
the length Of modern cannot shot, would give
the possessors Of both coasts an advantage
which our possession Of the solitary rock could
hardly countervail. Such an advantage in the
hands Of Spain would be virtually an ad-
vantage In the hands of France; for If Paris
can control Madrid, Paris thereby rules in
Spanish Morocco, and thus avoid for the
present the course expedient Of an indefinite
extension of her Algerian dominions. e4

Very Important from Brownsville.

New ORLEANS, Novembes 1.-THE Della
Of this city publishes letter, dated Corpus
Christi, November Z, which says that it is
almost certain that the town Of Brownsville
has fallen into the hands of Cortinas. The
Mexican flag was flying at point four miles
above the town. All communication had
been cut of. The entire population, on both
sides of the Rio Grande, was in arms, with
the intention of exterminating the Ameri-
cans, and reconquering the country to the
Colorado RIVER. The news is confirmed by
the affidavit of citizens of Cameron County,
who were obliged to fly for their lives. An
other affidavit says that the frontier of the
Rio Grande is in a state Of war. Cortinas is
sustsinee by the population. Earnest appeals
are made for aid by the Americans. Eighty
men were advancing to the relief of Browns
vile, but they will have to encounter 700 of
Cortinas's men.

"GoTHAM" TERN OF REPRoAoH.-Gotham,
the name which New Yorkers proudly give
to their metropolis, is in England term Of
reproaoh, "the wise men of Gotham" being
generally laughed at. In Kelly's "Proverbs

the term is given:
Gotham is village of Nottinghamshire,
known to be the headquarters of stupidity in
this country, on whose inhabitants all sorts Of
convenience Of having such butt for sar-

dressed woman was brought into Justice Corn
wells Court, in Now York, OFT Thursday. in
state of beastly intoxication. While in charge
of the officers in the court sho took fit of
delirium tremsns, and the scene that ensued
was heartrsnding beyond description. Her
shrieks were so terrible and agonizing, that
even the officers of the Court, used to such
scenes, were visibly moved. One of the Off
GERS of the Court stated that this woman was
the wife of&an eminent physician, and but a
short time since was highly respected as an
exemplary wife and mother, and had every
thing around her to make her life happy; but
in ON evil hourshe yielded to the vice of in
temperance, AID since then has gone down,
step by step, in her sad career. Her husband
tried every means in his power to reclaim her,
but without avail; and, as final resort, was
obliged to have her arrested and sent to the
Penitentiary.

Par ticulars Of The Arrest of Palmer.
the Alleged Harper's Ferry Con.
spi rator.
DR.. W. R. Palmer, arrested in Memphis, as
we hap stated, on charge Of completely with
Captain Brown in the Harper's Ferry affair,
went to that city last July, and was afterward
married to a lady Of Shelby County, from
whom he subsequently separated. On Thurs
day Paine, was examined and held in $2,5OO
ball, in defA ult Of which he was committed to
prison. Ths circumstances that led to his
arrest are thus given in the Eoening Argue Of
Thursday: ~. .l ..
A week or two aqp gentleman, while seated
in railroad car between Baltimore and Phila-
delphia, discovered in the seat behind him a.
man muffled 10 the chin, and apparently de-
string as much as possible to shield himself
from observation.
AS the train nefred O station, the latter
rose TO his feet and left the car-as he did SO.
accidentally dropping two letters and o small
memorandum on the floor. The gentleman
picked them up, and finding that one Of the
letters was sealed and addressed to John
Brown, his suspicious were aroused. The
other bore the superscription of a man named
Horner, directed to some point in Virginia,
and had been opened. Satisfied that this
letter could throw some light on the seeming
mystery, he perused its contents. And well
they repaid him for his trouble.
I'he letter stated that an agent of the under
ground railroad, named Thatcher, had been in
Memphis sometime during the month of
Aun moi vvh ha ho1 ~ koI
with one W. R. Palmer, residing here, and
that the two had an interview in the navy
yard. During the interview (the letter goes
on to ssy) Thatcher was informed by Palmer
that whenever Brown was ready to strike the
blow for the freedom of the slaves, he could
promise hilu any amount of money from Mem
phis mercknptsl The gentlemen then i'm
medately forwarded the letter to Governor
Wise, at Richmond, whose subsequent action
in the mater led to the arrest as narrated yes
terday.

The FAMOUS BENNETT CAsE.--The hearing
commenced yesterday, Monday, before Judge
Hinman, on the petition of Mrs. Bennett for
leave to remove her children out of the State.
She desires to 60 West, and the late decree of
divorce prohibits her from taking her children
out Of the State. Mrs. Bennett testified, in
substance, that though the Doctor had on sew
eral occasions taken the children from the
yard, and once from the hall Of the house, he
had never visited the house to see them. She
did not know that he treated them unkindly,
but he had never manifested any interest, save
as stated. She further said she thought she
had less than 800 left of the $4,000 granted
her as alimony. On the other hand, DR.. B..
claims that the $4,000 and the real estate in
George-street, which is owned by her and the
children, is enough to support them. He says
that If she wishes TO leave the State without
the children, he will give good bonds TO take
good care Of them himself.-NeD Hapsn Reg

An ENTIRE FAMILY POISONED By NEGRO
SLAvE..-An evening or two since, the family
of DR.. Phillip ThorAbury, residing near Louis
vile, Kentucky, partook Of mush and milk,
except the Doctor. In few moments FIVE
persons were taken violently i'll, and had it
not been for the immediate application of
emetios, death would unquestionably have en-
sued. AS they had eaten nothing else but the
mush, the cause Of their severe illness was Of
course instantly attributed thereto. The re-
mains of the food were brought to Louisville,
and subjected to anylitic tests, and 1t was dis.
covered that there was suficiency Of arsenic
to have destroyed . hundred persons. That
the negro cook was not rendered sick, was
thought very strange. She excused herself
by saying that sne did not eat the mush, and
made such statements as to implicate the negro
man.

WASHINGTON, November ia man call
ing himself Mcdonald was arrested here last
night, on Seventh street, by Officer Allen, to
whom he made such admissions as to lead
to the belief that he was one of Browns
party, and had escaped from the Armory at
Harper's Ferry. He was disguised, assuming
the appearance of an old man. He said he
was originally from Boston. His breast and
chest are well peppered with wounds as from
shot. Governor Wise being telegraphed, re-
turned an answer instructing the officers to
send to Harper's Ferry for persons to ident-
ify the prisoner, and to inform the President.

tend to reduce rents in the districts occupied
