SINGULAR FREAK OF A Young GIRL.-The
Mount Joy (Pa.) Herald says that "about
three years ago an apparent boy, giving his
name as John Marsh. reached that place, and
engaged himself to Mr.. l.. p. Brady TO learn
the tinsmithing. He was a fair-skinned, fine
looking fellow, but after remaining four or
five months left for Highspire, Dauphin co.,
where he has since been engaged as hostier.-
He was boat driving several years before GO

John Marsh was taken ill, and i'll the course

THE BRITISH NAvY.-Donald Mckay, the
great ship builder, writes TO the Bos ton Com

government is now building fifiy-three steam
war vessels OF various kinds, carrying l. 7S3
guns, or nearly as many as the whole United
States navy. BY the middle of next year
when the ships now on the stocks are COM
pleted, the British fleet will count 735 vessels,
with 1000 guns, and 13i, $50 horse power, or
about eight times as many guns as our navy
Over two hundred thousand men will be re-

the English

OPENING LETTERs.-No otwiths tanding the
great outcry against Sir James Graham, a
cabinet officer in England, for opening the
tice still prevails in that country for the Gov
ernTrent TO break the seals and filch secretly
the information entrusted to private CORES
pondence through its mails. The Secretary
OF state stlli retains the power Of using his
warrant authorizing the opening of any letter
deposited in the Post-Office. Parliament per-
mits it for the reason that, "were the right OF
the Secretary of State to open letters at the
Post-OHlce denied, il would be equivalent to
advertising to every criminal and conspirator
against the public peace that he might employ
the Post Office with impuntty."

FREE NEGRO RIoT.-The negroes, to the
mum ber of 2U0 on the Sombrero guano island,
rose against an obnoxious overseer named
Snow, an American, a few days since, and one
of them crusSed his skull with lump of
guano. The schooner Emma Tuttle, which
arrived at Petersburg, Va, Tuesday, reports
that the negroes were still in a state of insur-
rection when she left. Mr.. Elliott, the agent
formerly of Lynchburg, Va, expected ip the
course of a tew days fifty Irish hands from
Richmond, with as many reyolyers and other
instruments of government and civilization,
through means of which he would be able TO
su bdue the revolters, and effectually prevent
any further outrages, should ii be his good
fortune to escape their fury until that time.
Inc superinte dent was not dead when the
Tuttle left, on the 25th, but was not expec ted
To 1--we. The negroes had refused all offers or
demands to Ieturn to work, but holding pos.
