Tibbatts's majority.............

The above item of news appeared in the
yesterdays edition of the Evening Post
under the head Of Newport News. We do
not know the reporter Of the Post, but we
hope that hereafter he will have more re-
gard for tho truth in his assertions; or, if
simply mistaken, that he will inform himself
better before he makes his statements. Not
only have the friends of Waggoner NOT
abandoned the matter but they have
number Of dePositions on file identifying
him since l849; and living witness will be
present, to testify to his identity, who has
known him since his infancy. Notice Of the
taking of the depositions was served OIL all
the defendants in the suit but none of them
appeared, although they acknowledged serv-
ice in writing. The father and mother of
Waggoner were in Cincinnati day OF two
since, and could his mother be taken 10
Newport and placed beside her son, we will
venture that no man in Campbell County
not excepting those interested, would ask
any further testimony on the subject--so
closely do they resemble in looks and
voice. -sv ,,...
THE WAGaoNER CASE IN CoURT.-The slave
case-that Of Charles Waggoner-aboutwhich
SO much has been said, and for whom so
much sympathy has been manufactured on
the opposite side of the river, will probably
come up before the Circuit Court which COM
mences a session in Newport next Monday.
1t is reported over here that much of that
sympathy has oozed out, and further we have
even heard it intimated that the trial would
not be prosecuted by the friends of Wag-
goner." .'.- ..s1 a. ttea
- THIEF Held 0vER.--The anonymous Ger
man. arrested a day or two since, was yester-
day held to bail in the sum Of $500, on a

MARIETTA AND CINCINNATI RAILROAD Con-
PASY.-On Monday last the newly-elected
Directors of the Marietta and Cincinnati
Railroad started upon a tour of examination
Of the road, and returned to the city last
evening. They found the road in much bet
ter condition than they anticipated. At a
meeting held at Marietta on Wednesday, the
Board resolved to take possession of the road
on Wednesday next. They also authorized
the acting President, Noah L. Wilson, Esq.,,
to manage the affairs Of the company until q
permanent President shall be elected. No
change will be made in the subordinate posi-
tions at present. - -...-,.
The Trustees some time since rendered the
Presidency Of the road to Mr.. John Brough,
President of the Bellefontaine line, but up TO
yesterday that gentleman had returned no
definite answer. 1t is rumored, however,
that he will assume the position. t

CRUEL DEsERTIoN OF ANEwLY-MADE BRIDE.
Last Monday scouple came to this city on
tho steamer Lebanon, and the man ordered
his baggage to be- sent to the Southgate
House, stating that he would walk to the
hotel. After proceeding up Main-street
couple ofsquares he changed his mind and
concluded to stop at the Walnut-street House.
he therefore requested his wife to wait while
he went back to the boat and countermanded
the order in regard to his trunks.
The wife waited an hour and still her hus.
band did not return, when she began TO weep,
and thus attracted the attention of mer-
chant, who sympathized with her after hear
ing her story, and accompanied her to the
Henrie House, where she still remains. She
states that shC had been married hut two
weeks, and that her husband carried with
him d gold watch and Sl40 in money, both
Of which belonged to her. She has cause To
weep over the depravity OF the man she
loved: cause to rejoice over the fact that she
learned in Two weeks what most women
can not fully understand in thirty days after
marriage. E' ET ~ a.

The Reception of the Prince of Wales at
HnIifax-His Personal Appearance and
Manner.
The Prince was singularly prepossessing.
OF all who now saw him for the first time,
not one but was agreeably impressed. With
extreme dellcacy and regularity of feature
thorough refinement in expression, and a
countenance, the natural animation of which
was probably bightened by the excitement
ofthe moment; with unaffected dignity of
manner, and a gracefulness Of bearing, that
showed itself even in the brief passage to the
spot assigned for his reception, he needed
few other claims to win the most cordial ac-
clamations ofhis welcomers. He was dressed
in the uniform of a Colonel of the Guards
scarlet coat, black trowsers, and hat with
plume. He Wore also the broad ribbon of
the Garter. Erect and well-formed, this cos
tune was greatly in his favor.
All persons are struck by the youthfulness
of his appearance for which the knowledge
of his precise age seemed not to have pre-
pared them. As he stood listening to the
reading of the address, with undisturbed
composure, and in easy attitude, he looked as
handsome young English gentleman as the
most jealous OF his provincial well-wishers
could have desired to find him.
His face is not unlike the Queens, as we
have it represented in portraits, and the fore
head and chin are still less prominent. His
hair is light, and his complexion very fair.
His eye is bright and keen. The other feat
ures are large, but not Informed, and the
mouth is peculiarly expressive of quickness
to mirth The best likeness / have seen of
him is a steel engraving which accompanied
u recent number of London illustrated pa
per, the NeWs Of The World which Is admfra-
bly, perfect. A large wood cut in Frank
Leslis's Newspaper which has just reached
this place, is also excellent in every detail,
excepting that the mouth is too hard and
compressed. In general effects this likeness

REMARKABLE AccIDENT-A PAINTER FALLS
SIXTY FEET AND is UGINJuRED.--One of the
most remarkable accidents of which we re-
member to have heard, occurred yesterday at
the corner of Third and Vine. A couple Of
painters, named Getel and McCune, were
standing upon ladder which was suspended
by. pulleys at the fourth story of the estab-
lshment Of Heidelbach Seasongood 4 Co.
Wishing to lower their platform they united
their ropes for the purpose, when one of them
broke, and the ladder, which had horizon
tai position, become perpendicular, being
suspended by one rope only, and Getel fell
to the ground, distance of sixty feet, making
two or three. revolutions in the descent,
striking an iron grating in front of the house
with such force as to bend several of the
bars SO that the cosine of their arc was not
less than three inches, Mr.. G. was taken up
and carried TO the Office of DR.. Menzes,
where, after an examination, it was dis
covered that no bones were broken and, al
though considerably bruised, he was not
seriously injured. he was afterward re-.
moved TO his residence on Plum-street, but
his injuries are not at all severe or serious.
