Lord Renfrew.

PORTLAND, Oct. 2O.-To-day was fine
bright Indian summer day. The vessels in
harbor, all public buildings, the Observable
ry, and the British feet were all finely
decorated with flags, and business was
mostly suspended. At noon great crowd
of people together with large number of
carriages, assembled in the streets around
the Grand Trunk Railroad depot to well
come the Prince to the city. The special
train from Boston with the Prince and
suite, crossed the city line at lao, which
was announced by national salute of 80
guns. The train arrived at the depot at a
few minutes after 2, the engine and cars
being finely decorated with flags, &c. The
Royal Car waselegantly decorated for the
occasion. On alighting from the cars they
were received by the Mayor in speech Of
welcome. The Prince raised his hat in re-
turn, and rose in the Mayors barouche with
his honor the Mayor, the Duke of Newcas-
tie and Lord Lyons. The Royal suite fol-
lowed in five other carriages, They were
escorted by the first regiment under com
mand of Col. Sweet, aud proceeded through
India, Middle, Free, High, State and Con-
gress streets.
They embarked at 3:l5, the military pre-
senting arms. Before the Prince embarked
he shook hands with Lord Lyons, the
Mayor, British consul, and others. As the
royal barge LETT the wharf the British squad
ron fred a royal salute of 81 guns, and
similar salutes were fired from the city and
Fort Preble.
The harbor was full of steamers, boats,
barges, &C., which accompanied the Royal
barge from the wharf, the latter being sur
rounded by boats from the Royal squadron,
filled with British officers. There was a
fresh easterly breeze blowing, and the water
in the harbor was quite rough, so that the
boats rowed quite slowly. AS the feet
neared the Royal squadron, the yards were
manned.

Death OF President Mora.

The life of the late President of Costa
Rica, Juan Mora, has been brought to vi
lent end at Puenta Arenas, whittier he had
gone to raise bis countrymen in revolt
against the government which had expelled
him from the country. The Times cores
pondent, writing from Panama on the 9Th
inst, says:
Mora bore his fate manfully. The file of
men drawn up for his execution stood with
their muskets not ten feet from him, and
yet the five balls in bis body did not kill
him. "Give me another shot, gentlemen"
he said, "and finish mel" He refused to be
blindfolded, and stood calmly facing his ex-
ecutioners. His body, as we'll as that of
Canas, was thrown into hole in the sand
both with the clothes on in which they were
murdered. Oanas was striking Ere with his
steel and flint to relight bis cigarette at
the moment he felt the lead at bis heart
He was shot at the foot of the monument
erected to his honor for bis many services to
Costa Rica, in the Plaza at Puenta Arenas.
1t appears that Mora had been cruelty de-
ceived, Tor betrayed in his expectations of
risings in other parts of the Republic. So
far as l can learn, not movement was
made in bis favor, except at Puentas
Arenas

The New York Court of Appeals has
granted Mrs. Hartung, who was convicted
of the murder of her husband, new trial.
The News gives the following synopsis of
her case:
"She was faund guilty of poisoning her
husband by jury of Albany county, and
sentenced to be hung. An appeal wa TAX
en- to the general term of the supreme court,
and the verdict of that jury confirmed. The
Governor refused to interfere with the exc
cution of the sentence, and the case was
taken to the court of appeals. Pending the
decision Of this. our highest judiciary tribu-
nal, the legislature, which had unwisely at
tempted to interfere with the Governors
prerogative of pardon, passed the law abol>
ishing capital punishment under certain cir.
cumstances. This law, which has operated
thus far so unfavorably on the protection of
life and the suppressionIof crime, was passed,
it was thought, for the purpose of saving
this young and handsome, but wretched wo-
man from the gallows, and will prevent her
execution even in case she is again convict
ed. All that we know of her guilt is from
the testimony on her trial. We hope that
justice will not be defeated in her case, or
in any other, by the unwise interference of
the legislature, or by any other means.

company of eighty soldiers, under command
Of Capt. Gibbs, went in pursuit, but failed
to overtake them. A cnmpany Of Mexicans
and Pueblos also went, and recovered sixty
Of the number; the balance are entirely lost,
which will be heavy loss to the owners.
About the same time of the above trans
action, the Indians succeeded in running
from the government herd at Alberquerk,
one hundred beef cattle. They were fol-
lowed, but the Indians killed all the cattle
and made their escape.
On the 9th inst. band of Indians crossed

going in the direction of Gallistee.

Correspondence of ahe Press.
Everything tends to the point that the
House of Representatives will be held by
the friends Of Judge Douglas, alone {; and if
Oregon should elect two anti.Secession Sen
ators, as in all probability it will, and Kan
sas be admitted into the Union, as she
ought to be, at the next session, and will
be unless the South is resolved to commit
another act of wanton folly and madness,
Judge Douglas himself will probably hold
the balance of power in the Senate.
South Carolina, after all the efforts of the
Fire-Eaters to keep her in the background
will be the leader in any Secession move
ment that may take place as consequence
of Lincoln's election. She is already spur.
ring the Governor of Alabama to summon q
convention of the people of that State, in
accordance with the resolves of her Legis-
lature, within forty days after it has been
ascertained that "a Republican has been
elected President" but do not believe
that Alabama will take the initiative, or
blindly follow the lead of South Carolina.
MIR. Yancey's speech in New York, a few
days ago, was most significant on this point
and, in view of the conservative decara-
lions of MIR. Lincoln and his friends, and
the determination of the Lincoln leaders to
commit no overt acts upon the rights of
South Carolina, and to do all in their pow,
er to consult public sentiment in that quar-.
ter, am convinced that such statesmen as
Geo. s. Houston, John Forsyth, Gov. Win.
ston, aud Others in Alabama, will not allow
the fanatics to put them in the wrong.
The names of Southern men willing to
take place in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet are
freely canvassed. Among the rest are those
of Edward Stanley, now of California, but
formerly of North Carolina; Kenneth Ray
ner and the veteran John A. Gilmer, OF
North Carolina; T. A. r. Nelson and EN-
erson Etheridge, of Tennessee; and Gen.
Sam. Houston, of Texas. When the cleo
ton of Mr.. Lincoln is an accomplished fact,
nothing will prevent the President elect
from finding an abundance of material from
which to select in the South, but the decla.
ration in advance, that he intends to make
the territory now, or hereafter to be owned
by the United States, free territory, by pro.
hibiting Southern men from emigrating to
it with their slaves. The safe and only
ground for Mr.. Lincoln, in the event of bis
election, to take, is that Of intervention
This principle was destroyed in the Terri
tories by the intervention of Mr.. Buchanan

pointment of judicial and other officers

MINNESOTA WHEAT.-A handsome sam
pie of white Minnesota wheat-both in the
head and in the grain-was shown on the
Corn Exchange, on Tuesday, by Mr.. J. G.
Williams. The crop from which this SAM
pie is taken, was very heavy one, yielding
seventy bushels to the acre. The heads
shown, appear to be the result of an effort
of nature to combine three heads in one
but such is not the fact, as the head of this
enormous size is popularity Of this variety
of wheat. A wheat yielding so generously,
must become popular. We learn that the
original seed came from Germany, in taOo
grains which fell from some straw which
had been used in packing goods.-N. Y.

REVIVAL OF BUsINEss.-There are lndlca
tions of a healthy revival Of all kinds OF
business in St. Paul. There are many per-
sons here who are looking out for eligible
locations for mercantile and mechanical
pursuits, and several stores that have been
vacant for a long time, have been leased to
responsible tenants. Dwelling houses also
are in better demand now than is usual at
this season of the year, and landlords feel
much encouraged at the prospect Of an emi-
grafton that will take up every vacant ten.
ement in the city before the close OF ma
vigation. The alarm occasioned by the
land sales has subsidized in great degree,
and customers from the country are more
numerous than could have been anticipated.
Our wholesale houses are doing large
business, and the country merchants have
found out that st. Paul offers the best ad-
vantages for them, in replenishing their
stocks, as all kinds of goods, ia the quanti-
ties they wish to purchase, can be obtained
here as cheap or cheaper than in the East
ern marts, the freight only being added.
There is less excitement and huctuation in
our currency than at any previous time for
years. and the influx of Eastern money, in
payment for the grain crop, has tended to
give great confidence to all classes. Our
city, country and State securities, always
excepting Railroad Bonds are in better re.
pute than ever before, and are nearly at
par.
Real estate has felt the benefit OF the
returning prosperity, and many sales are
made at better prices than havo prevailed
since the great financial revulsion, although
there is not the slightest speculative excite
ment. City property is held firmly at its
actual value, except in cases where holders
are compelledto part with it to meet &C
cruing indebtedness.

The Prince of Wales at Boston.

DOSTON, Oci. I6th.
A grand ball was given last night by our
citizens to the commanders and officers of
the Royal squadron at the City Hall. 600
persons were present. The Hall was splen-
didly decorated.
The Prince reached this city to-day.
The weather is delightful. The demonstra-
ton in honor of the Prince is elaborate and
imposing. Public buildings are decorated
and the streets thronged. About 5000
men, including artillery, cavalry and infant
ry, are now being reviewed by Gov. Banks
and the Prince.
