WASHINGTON, April 1.-The President, to-
day transmitted TO the Senate, copies of ad-
diuonal correspondence with foreign govern
ments, concerning the rights Of American
naturalized citizens abroad. II is conducted
throughout in good temper, the United States
in all cases repudiating the doctrines of per-
petual allegiance. II appears, from these
documents, that twelve years ago, the British
Government, at the instance of Minister Ban
croft, released two naturalized Irishmen, who
were suspected of aiding in the rebellion, and
engaged in reasonable practices. Lord Pal
merston, however, declares that foreign-born
subjects of Great Britain, who may have be-
come naturalized in foreign country but
return to the Kingdom, are as amenable, as
any other of Her Majestys subjects, to any
laws which may be enforced, either of a per-
manent or temporary nature.
The Senate TO day confirmed Mai. Elisha
G. English as United States Marshal for In
diana.
The New Orleans 'Piedyune of Saturday
contains an extract from a private letter,
dated Mexico, March Is, stating that tho
British Minister has proposed a truce Of six
months at the utmost, during which a Con-
gTess is to be elected by the different States
OF the Republic.
This Congress is to be united in JalApa,
which is to be declared neutral ground, un-
der the protection of the English Govern
ment, and, If necessary, Of English troops.
The Congress voted by the nation is TO make
new Constitution, which is TO be recognized,
protected and enforced by England.
The clergy disapprove Of the proposition,
but il they refuse IL the English Minister will
Immediately take his passports and leave fol
Vera Cruz, where he will recognize the
| JuareZ Government.

which the action was brought to determine
the right TO the proceeds of the carpets sold
BY the Sheriff, on the execution or order of
sale in the case Of Higgins be. Falls: Hall
claims as assignee for the benefit of the credi-
tors Of Falls, The question in the case is
whether the attachment of Higgins 4 Co: has
priority in time over the assignment exc

IL, The attachment Of Higgins was levied on
the 18th Of October last: The assignment
was executed some days before, but was not
accepted until after the levy.
The Court, under the circumstances, held
that Higgins appeared in the ordinary posi-
ton of creditor; diligent creditor, who OBJ
tained information from, or through Fdlls,
or his family, which enabled him to get pri-
ority; and did not think the facts such as to
offer a legal obstruction to his enforcing his

The Skeleton Panther and his Victim.

From "Hemlock Sketches" in Porters
Spirit Of the Times, we extract the following:
The victim was u young physician, who
hung out at the Blockhouse village, and had,
it is said, more love for, and more skill in,
shooting than surgery. Some ten or twelve
miles from the Blockhouse is place called
the "Englsh Settlement" and between the
two places an unbroken forest extends nearly
the whole way; there is no road through, but
the settlers have 'blazed line," and on this
line the Doctor started one Autumn morning
for the settlement. He took his gun, of
course and also expressed an intention of be-
ing absent week or more, if the hunting
proved good.
He was not expected at the settlement, nor
did he arrive there; but it happened that two
or three days afterward, man came through
from the latter place, and on being questioned
by the doctors friends, gave the rather start
ling information that no doctor had arrived.
As it was known he took no camp impedi-
ments along, and was not likely to have got
lost, his friends, to the humber of halt-a-
dozen, took their rifles and started for the
settlement to "see it out" They had not far
to go. He was lying few yards from the
path, frightfully torn and mangled, one barrel
discharged, and the cap of the other exploded,
with unmistakable evidences of q fearful life
and death struggle on his person. The men
who found him were hunters, and they said
"painter" at once. There was trail of blood
leading from the corpse to a thicket, but the
leaves were falling and after a long trial
thew conld follow Il no longer.
II is worthy of note that an old hunter of
that party gave it as his belief, after washing
and closely examining the corpse. that the
panther had had his Under law broken by the
shot. and consequently could not eat or bite
the body. Good dogs were brought to the
spot the day after the body was found, but
nothing came of it, and the conclusion was
that the panther had crawled off to a tnicket
and died of his wound; that it was panther
no one who saw the BODY or heard the story
even doubted.
This was in November. In the April fol-
lowing. some children, who had been PLAYING
in the road at the settlement rushed into a
house nearby. wild with alright, and at
temnting incoherently TO describe something
ola most fearful ASPECT, that was irving to
GET over brush fence into the road.

FIRE YESTERDAY AFTERNooS-Loss s., 500.
About two o'clock yesterday afternoon a
fire broke out in the feed store of Benjamin
Buckley, at No. n Mill-street, between Third
and Fourth which was entirely destroyed,
together with its contents. The building
was quite small, however, and the loss will
not exceed $1,000, which was fully covered
by insurance.
The tenement house belonging to Henry
Depker, at No. 444 Third-street, also caught
and was damaged to the amount of $3.50,
while number of families met with small
losses of furniture by fire and water, which
will make an aggregate of about $500. Dep
kers loss is also fully covered by insurance
An accident occurred during the progress
OF the fire that should be warning to our
City Council and the Board of Improve
ments. In crossing the bridge over the
Whitewater Canal at Mill-street the steam
engine "a. B. Latta" broke through, and
with much difficulty was prevented from be-
ing precipitated ipto the canal. The struc-
ture, however, was strengthened by tempo
rary piers and after three hours labor the
engine was raised and subsequently removed
Several of our canal bridges are in the mos
dilapidated condition, and for a long time we
have feared an accident in consequence o
their neglect, which would shock the entire
community. The one at Main-street is par
ticularly unsafe, and deserves, as we hope i
will receive, the immediate attention Of thu
authorities.

MECHANICS AND MANUFACTURERS Ex-
cHANGE.-At the meeting of the Mechanics
and Manufacturers Exchange, yesterday
morning, the report Of the Committee on
morning, was severely commented upon, and
after long discussion, referred back to the
Committee. 1t appears that the manufacture

dealt with, and that the aggregate amount Of
the money invested in the different branches
of business placed entirely too low. The
Committee, in all probability, will amend
their report in such a manner, as to make it
not only correct but also acceptable to the

was held to bail in the sum of $1,000 to an

very large gang of counterfeiters who at

The DUTCH CAULIFLowER.-The Revue Hor-
ticole extracts from German newspaper the
method used by the Dutch to obtain their
caulihowers, so famous for their size aud deli
cacy. SIN the autumn they dig deep some
ground that has not been manured; at the be-
ginning Of May they sow the large English
cauliflower upon bed of manure, and cover
it with straw mats at night. When the
young plants are three or four inches high,
they harrow the ground that had been pre-
pared the autumn before, and with wooden
dibble, eighteen inches long, they make holes
about ten inches deep, at proper distances
apart, and enlarge them by working the dib-
BILE round till the hole at the top is about
three inches in diameter. They Immediately
fill these holes with water, and repeat this
three times the same day. In the evening
they fill them with sleeps dung leaving
only room enough for the young plant, which
they very carefully remove from the bed o
manure and place in the hole with little
earth. Directly afterward they give them q
good watering, and as soon at the sun Begin
to dry them, water them again. Further
more, as the plants grow, they dig rount
them, and earth them up in rows, When thu
head is forming they pinch off some of thu
lower leaves Of the plant, and use them I,
