THE NEWS.

der life may tend to allay what Judge O'NEAI
has recently termed the "insans fever Of Western
emigration." AScold blooded murder has just
been committed at Austin, Texas, under the Sher-
ifs eye, and almost in the Temple of Justice.
John Taney, nephew Of chief justice Taney,
was on trial for the murder of one Edwards.
The morning session Of the Court had been held,
and the Sheriff was returning the prisoner to
Jail till after dinner, when q party Of rufhans,
among them ssparson" and son, rushed upon
the prisoner, took him out of the sberif's hands
and dispatched him-twenty five or thirty shots
having been fired at him and thirteen or fourteen
taking effect. westward the star of empire
takes its way"
But our large eastern cities, especially New
York, contest the belt with the widest regions
of the West in acts of atrocty. A late discovery
| of female body in North river, off Jersey city,
calling for Identification of the victim, some
forty persons came forward with stories of fe-
males who had disappeared mysteriOusly within
the last three months; and the probability is
that many other lost females have not been re-
presented by their friends before the Coroner's
Inquest. Beneath all this what tales of secret
guilt and crime, only to be revealed at the 'tlast
day!"
In spite of the combined arrangements of the
United States and England, by keeping squad
ron on the African coast to suppress the slave
trade, it still goes on. Two slavers, the W.
lams and Wildfre, have recently been captured
in the narrow passes into the Gulf and landed at
Key West. The WIldfrs, with five hundred
Africans on board was captured first; afterwards
the Williams with FIVE hundred and fifty. The
practical questions growing out of these large
captures are these: first, should not the United
States, if they wish really to suppress the trade
break up the compact with England sud place
her part of the African squadron around Cuba
and Porto Rico where they would be much more
efficient; and, secondly, what is to become Of the
captured Africans? The philanthropy ofBroth-
er Jonathan, it is said. will cost one hundred
thousand dollars per cargo of FIVE hundred, or
two hundred per African; and they are said to
be desirous of remaining in this country. Pres
ident Buchanan has suggested to Congress- in
special message on the subject, to authorize him
to make such general and permanent arrange
ment with the African Colonization Society as
will "combine humanity towards those unfortu-
mates, with just economy"
1t is curious and suggestive fact that, while
this ban is placed upon the introduction of more
Southern laborers from without, they at the
North never had stronger tide of European
immigration Twenty thousand Swedish immi
grants have been invited to settle in Maine and
the London Times thus comments on the Irish
exodus to the United States: "There can now
be no question that the exodus from Ireland this
season is likely to be as marvellous in its extent
as that which followed upon the terrible famine
of 1846-7. The provincial papers TEEN with
the subject, aud the farmers remaining at HON e
have taken alarm at the almost certain prospect |
of q scarcity of laborers, and the consequent en-
hanced price of labor. The emigration panic is
to be traced to the simple fact that every mail
from America brings large remittances for pas
sage and outfit to relatives in the old country
who, of course, are willingly tempted to better
their condition in q country which offers larger
field for industrial enterprise"
MEx1co-On the 1st of May, ZuLoAGA issued
\ decree deposing Miramon, and assuming the
Presidential chair. This movement created
general alarm, but was checked by ZUoLAGA's
being thrown into prison by MIRAMoN. Gen.
MIRAMoN had met with some reserves had i'm
posed heavy loans on the city of Mexico, inclu-
ding foreign merchants doing business there; &;
1 crisis was impending, and distress prevailed
everywhere. Meanwhile says the New Orleans
Courier: "We are credibly informed by private
etters lately received in this city, that polti-
,al reaction is taking place in Vera Cruz and the
,trongholds occupied by the Liberal forces,
which will inevitably result in the elevation of
[gnacio Commonfort to the Presidency" The
Knights of the Golden Circle, who are the friends
of the Juarez Government, We are informed, are
to get together in Texas, to the
number of several hundred under Capt. Davis,

Mexico They were in Centerville, Texas, on

MISUNDERSTANDING insists upon the imme-

The Paris papers say that Europe, and France
particularly, will disapprove the further aggran-
lizemcnt of Sardinia; so that in the event of
success in Sicily, there, probably,
will be no annexation. Garibaldi has, neverthe-
ess, gone to Sicily, and has commenced the
conflict for the overthrow of the Neopolitan Gov
upon the ruins of which he is likely
ooking forward to his own establishment in pow
r. Against him General Balzano has demand
d reinforcement of 5000 men. The Pied
nontese government is opposed to Garibaldi's
movement.
The evacuation of the Papal States by the
