From New York.

NEW YoRK, August lo.--A serious insur-
rection Of the negroes at Sombrero, Guano
Island, has caused no little excitement among
the merchants and seafaring people interested
in the guano business, both in Baltimore and
Petersburg, Va. The excitement had at
tanned such pitch that Capt. Dell, of the
Baltimore bark Warren, and Capt. Burrel. of
the schooner Emma 7tttle, of New Haven,
had TO interfere and imprison some of the
insurrectionists. ...
The negroes on the island are hired at the
rate Of $l2 per month, TO dig and load yes-
sells with guano, and number o. The FORE
man, desiring TO make visit home, made
over his office TO a man named Snow, first
mate Of schooner named the Eastern Star.
Snow, being man of energy and determine
ton, exercised rigid discipline over the
negroes. They, not liking this, formed q
plan 10 murder him, and on the oath Of July,
an Snow was stopping on the ground, one oi
the negroes, who had been specially chosen
.or the purpose, hurled tremendous lump
of guano at his head, crushing in his skull
and leaving him nearly lifeless. l..r.I.
Considerable commotion followed upon this
among the whites, and the negro who CON-
mitted the atrocious deed was Immediately
arrested and placed on the bark Warren, oi

Fifty Irish hands ere expected shortly

The negroes had refused all offers to return

is hardly credible that SO great 6rmness
against such Establishments could be shown
by a policeman, but the London correspond
ent Of provincial paper narrates the follow
ing anecdote, aud says it is true; It appears
that Mrs. Herbert, the wife Of the Minister OF
War, desired to attend the late review of the
volunteers in Hyde Park, and a place on the
royal stand was reserved for her. But she
was stopped at the gate by o policeman, who
demanded her ticket she had none; she had
been told BY the Duke Of Cambridge that no
ticket would be required from her; she smiled
on the man with the leather stock and the
oil.cloth hat; she referred him to the Queen
and to large and influential circle of friends;
she called in foreign aid, and the Colonel OF
one of the regiments expostulated with
policeman Xj more than this, q General off,
Ger attempted to browbeat him. But 1t was
all in vain. The distinct order was to admit
no one to the park without a ticket. The
order was obeyed, and the wife of the War
Minister was forced to return homeward.

APPEARANCE AND MANNER OF MRs. SEN
AToR DoUeLAs.-The Boston Journals cor
pondent writes as follows of Mrs. Douglas at
Newport: ss i.r
Mrs. Douglas was dressed in the Die Vernon
style--a jaunty school straw hat, shaped like
an inverted milk pan, with small vail hang
ing on the edge, gave her youthful and
schoolgirl appearance-with q dark merino
habit, half fitting and half loose, a cross be-
tween riding habit and a loose morning
gown--and her whole appearance was that
of a young Miss who had thrown her books
aside for August, and had taken run with
her mother TO spend month at Newport,
rather than the heir expectant of the lady Of
the White House. All the way from Prov
idence 10 Newport she entertained her friends
with the incidents Of her journey since she
LEFT. Washington, some of which were comical
enough. How at Concord men and women
were found peaking through the blind, when
she supposed herself all alone. How some
ardent young men insisted on seeing Mr..
Douglass wife, and got hold of fat old moth
erly lady by mistake, and made her such
complimentary addresses. How she was
told that if Mr.. Douglas carried Rhode Is
land she must love clans, and how hard she
tried to say they were good, and found them
so detestable--and other matters. How she
would run mp TO the upper story, and hear
the addresses, and look on the crowd that
her husband was addressing, and listen al
the same time to speeches made about her.
self and not intended for her own ears--all
related with infinite relish and good humor,
and with almost childish glee. tf.

'IEEFFIoAcY OF THE MORAL INSANITY QuEs-
TIoN IN SPAIS.-The "moral insanity" dodge
does not do well out of America. A Spauard
of excellent family and good income was re-
Gently before the Tribunal of Correctional
Police of Rochefort, charged with stealing
silver spoon and fork from the table of the
Hotel du Bacha in that town. The crime was
proved, but his advocate contended that he
ought not to be condemned, inasmuch as he
had committed the robbery under the in
fiuence of monomania, which he could not
resist. In proof of this the learned gentle
man stated that in Spain, for numerous rob-
berries of the like kind, he had been con-
demned altogether to not fewer than thirty
two years imprisonment but in considera-
tion of his mental infrmity, had been par
doned by the Crown. He stated, too, that
though unable to abstain from stealing, the
prisoner never sold tho articles abstracted,
but kept them for time and then sent them
back, carriage paid, to the owners. AS q
further proof that the unfortunate man was
not a theft, but a monomaniac, the council
mentioned that when he came into France he
was charged by friend to remit ll,00of 10 a
banker at Marseilles and that he executed
the mission with, the stricte3t fidelity, but
could not tresist stealing silver fork at table
d'hotel Notwithstanding all this, the tribunal
| held that the tnonomania was not sufficiently
proved, and condemned the prisoner to Eve
years imprisonment 5l FHt 81

ENGLISH OPINION OF ABRAHAM LlSooIN.-

review of the speeches of Hon. Abraham
Lincoln, the Republican candidate for the
Presidency Of the American Union, thus re-

II Is from the speeches which Mr.. Lincoln
has from time to time delivered In opposi-
ton TO Mr.. Douglas, thatwe gather some idea
Of his mental qualifications. We collect from
the speeches Of Mr.. Lincoln, that he has a
mind rather of the straight forward than
Of the subtle order; that he rather seizes upon
great and prominent facts, and argues them
70 plain conclusions, than build up elegant
but fragile theories upon the treacherous
basis OF fanciful speculatiop; that he is
