DEATR OF On. WILLIAM Russell PAL
MER.-Wo copy from the Memphis
Avalanche, of the LIST inst
DR.. VIM. Russell Palmer, the al.
legged insurrectionist, arrested in
this city some time since on charge
of endcavoring to iDcite negro in
shrrection in this county, on account
of whose preliminary examination
and the testimony adduccd in the
case was published in the Avalanche
died on Saturday, at the Planters
House, corner of Poplar and Third
streets, of consumption. II will be
rccottcctcd that Palmer was sup
posed to bc u cO-cUnsplratOr Of the
lIarpor's Ferry insurrectiOnlsts, and
be- was held To- bail in the sum of
two thousand dollars 81 make his
appearance at the next term of the
Criminal Court TO answer the charge
of cndcavoring to incite the scrviIe
population to revolt. 1t may not
be improper to add that since his
examination, inquiries have been
instituted which lead to the belief
that Palmer was innocent. The
Thatcher letter, produced at his OK
animation, the contents of which
created such alarm throughout the
country, is now 10y many supposed
TO have been written by an iudivi-
dual well known in this cOmmuni-
ty, Mt present living in the North,
and who WIS interested deeply In
having Palmer out of the way
These inquiries have not been push
cd to the extent that would justify
us in giving the supposed authors
name, but Mt the earliest practical
bic moment we promise to DO 80
If our suspicious should prove cor
rect, the development will exhibit
one Of the most accomplished and
deep-laid schemes Of villany ever
pcrpetrated.

GARABALDI MARRIED. - Garibaldi

Of Como, where, on the ID instant,
he met with an accident while rid
ing on u re 3tivc horse. The news
at first created some alarm in Mils
an but q letter from his medical
attendant, published in the news.
papers, removed all apprehension
Further evidence Of the slight nat
turc Of the injuries is found in fact
that on the 7th inst, the gaIlan
general was married to the eldest
daughter Of NJ. Raimondi, an ltal-
ian patti ct, who possesses one Of
the most bcautif It residences on The
lake Of Como. In l8i8 NJ. Ramon
di was obliged to take to flight /;
his property was cOniiscatcd, and
his palace used by the Austrains
ms n barrack. Under the new ye-
gimc, however, everything has been
restored to him. Great rejoicings
took place at Como on the occasion
of the marriage Of his daughter to

CoNvICrrNG THE WRoNG MAN.-In-
formation has within q few days
past been received by Governor
Chase, which clearly proves the in
nocence Of n man named Cotterill,
who has spent several years in the
penitentiary upon charge of arson.
Cotterill and another man named
Townsend were convicted and sen
fenced from Washington county for
the crime of arson, having, as was
then clearly proven, fred the barn
of ncighbor. CotterilPs wife, who
was then on terms of improper in
timacy with a man named Dye, was
the principal witness against him,
her evidence being sufficient ID con-
vict. The true state of facts as
now exhibited, show that the wife
was prompted by Dye to swear fall
sely for the purpose of putting him
out Of the way. Townsend, who
is still in the penitentiaiy, asserts
that Cottreill was not with him at
the firing of the barn, and had moth
ing whatever to do with the incen-
diary act. The only step which the
Executive could take in the pre-
misses was to pardon the innocent
man ont, which was done as soon
as he facts were asccrtained-

BEfrrsH OPINION OF lgvING.-Thc
London Herald Of the l4th Dec,
speaking Of the death of Wash
ington Irving, says
That Washington Irving was a
copyist Of English writer's we do
not believe, but that he saw much
in English tone and style, superior
b. that which has grown up in
America, is probably the truth ;
and that he should have abidcd by
habits Of thought aud tones Of OK
pressing them, which a long inter
course with the highest classes in
the Old World has rendered to him
familiar, cannot be remarkable in Il
man so gifted md so candid. 1t is
honorable TO I merica TO have pro
duccd a writcd to whose memory
all the world Ere go willing to offer
the homage Of their regret ; aud
the lesson ought not to be lost on
the American youth, to avoid the
mclodramatic craze Of their pres
cnt novelists, and emulate the fame
Of Washington Irving.

PATENT OFFlCE.-A washington
correspondent, abiding to the bill
recently introduced into Congress
ny Mr.. Mallory, relative to change
"a the Patent Office, remarks
The increasing number Of in
vcntions, with The immense none
larry interests involved in questions
relating to renewals Of patents
and to interfcrcnces, has for years
rendered necessary that remedial
legislation in the premises that
partisan agitations in Congress
have hitherto frustrated. The new
bill recently introduced by Scna-
tor Mallory embraces those reforms
that the experience Of the officials
at the Patent Office indicates as
necessary.
