Diderot once travelled from st. Petersburg to
Paris in his morning gown and night-cap, and in
this guise promenaded the streets and public places
of the town on his route. He was often taken for
madman. While composing his works he used to
walk about at rapid pace, making huge strides,
and sometimes throwing his wig in the air when he
struck out happy idea. One day a friend found
him in tears. "Good heavens" he exclaimed,

Accused of Cruelty al Sea.

a public meeting was held in Mobile on Friday
last to take into consideration the case Of Cant.
Harley, Of the British ship Culloden, who is
charged with having bratally treated and cruelty
beaten one Of his female passengers on the voyage
from Liverpool to Mobile. The meeting was at
tended by large number of citizens and much
excitement prevailed. The following resolutions
were proposed by Ben Lane Posey, Esa., and
adopted:
Resolced, That the conduct Of Capt. Harley
Of the ship Cuiloden, (an English ship from Liver
pool to MOBILIZE in his treatment of his passengers
and especially Of Miss Mcdonald, as shown By The
oaths of several witnesses, was cowardiy, bruta
and cruel, and that he deserves the contempt and
execration of the civilized world.
Resotced That we forbear the infiiction oi
summary Justice upon him, only upon the belief
and in the hope that the English Consul at this
port shall use his active and official influence to
ishment in the English Courts.
Resotued, That we appeal, in the name Of com.
mon humanity, to the employers of Capt Harley
to dismiss him at once from command, and we
appeal to all ship-owners to refuse to give him
command of any vessel.
Resoleed, That Capt. Harley take notice that
when he leaves Mobile, he leaves never to return,
under pain OF such chastisement az his dastardly
conduct deserves.
The Evening Mercury has the following para
graph:
His Honor, Mayor Withers, being apprehensive
that violence might be attempted against Capt.
Harley ordered out the Cadets to protect him, and
they are now at the Jail for that purpose. He has
also notified another company to hold itself in
readiness, should their services be necessary. We
do not anticipate anything of the sort, as the meet
ing appeared to be perfectly satisfied with the
spirit and tenor Of the resolutions passed at the
meeting this morning.
One of the passengers of the Culloden, reliable
gentleman, assures us that the woman whe is
alleged to have been maltreated was Of the most
depraved character, and that the Captain used no
more violence than was absolutely necessary to
keen her within the bounds of decency

The PERrLs OF SCIENCE. E.--some years ago large
whale was caught at the More, and towed up to
London Bridge, the Lord Mayor having claimed it.
Whenit had been at London Bridge some little
time, the Government sent notice to say it be-
longed to them Upon which the Lord Mayor sent
answer, "wel, if the whole belongs to you, order
you toremove it immediately from London Brdge.n
The whale was, therefore, towed down the stream
to the Isle of Dogs, below Greenwich. The late
MIR. Gift, the energetic and talented assistant of
his great master, John Hunter, went down to see
it. He found it on the shore, with its huge mouth
propped open with poles. In his eagerness to ex-
anime the internal parts of the mouth, Mr. Cliff
slipped inside the mouth, between the lower jaws,
where the tongue is situated This tongue is
huge spongy mass, and being at that time exceed
ingly soft, from exposure to the air, gave way like
a bog at the same time he slipped forward to-
ward the whales gullet nearly as far as he could
go. Poor Mr.. Cliff was really in a dangerous pre-
deament; he sank lower and lower into the sub
stance of the tongue and gulet till he nearly dis
appeared altogether. He was short in statue, and
in few seconds would doubtless have lost his life
in the horrible oily mass, had not assistance been
quickly afforded him. 1t was with great difficulty
that boat-hook was put in reqnisition, and the
good little man hauled out of the whales tongue.

Mr. NEAFIE N ENGLASD-This talented Ameri-

impression with the Liverpool press. We have al
ready published the opinions of the Post and Mer-
cury and we now find the following in the Liver

Mr.. Neaie made his dtbt on Monday last, and
played Hamlet with such success that he was called
twice before the curtain. On Tuesday he appeared
in play of his own, Valmonde.n with equal sue
cess, and we bound to state that on the whole,
Mr. Neafe has been very successful. We are pre-
iadiced against American players as a body, be-
cause they always come amongst us amidst sound
miniously. Mr.. Neaiie is an honorable exception.
He appeared unheraded and untrumpted, and by
his own genuine ability, has, in one short week,
earned a reputation which will always make him a

Mn. PENNINGTON. who was elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives, is but little
known outside of his own State, this being the
first time he has served in Congress. He was
an old limo Wing, and acted with that party as
long as it maintained an organization, and in
1858 was elected to Congress by the combined
vote Of all parties opposed to the Lesompton
policy of the Administration. During the late
contest in the House he acted with the Repub-
licans, and his election will give that party the
organization of the House Committees, which
is all the advantage they will gain by it, With
the exception Of few disappointed spoilsmcn,
every body will rejoice that the long and dis
graceful struggle for the Speakership has been
brought to close by the election OF conser-
vatiye man TO that position.

Mar OF WAsHoH.-We are indebted to G. W.
Welch, Of the Pioneer Book Store, Commercial
street, for copy Of "De Groot's map Of the
Washoe mines" The map has been recently
published, and we Judge is as near correct as q
q map can be made which is not based upon
actual surveys A table Of distances is given,
from Stockton, Sacramento, and Marysyille, by
the several routes, to Virginia City. From
Sacramento, by way of Placsrvillc and the
johnson Pass, the distance is put down at l62
miles by Nevada and the Honness Pass, at l6s
niles--making difference in favor Of the Pla-
cervile route OF six miles. The distance by
the Henness route, however, will be considera-
bly, shortened when the new wagon road is con-
ssructed. The map has been very recently pub
lished, as we notice the elevation OF Nevada
above the sea is given at 2,573 feet, the alti-
tude asOertainod by Mr. Elliott's railroad sur
vsy. The altitude OF the Placerville and john
son Pass is put down at 6,752 feet that of the
Henness Pass at $3.50 feet. The nap is useful

in Washoe. 1t was published by Hutchings II

CATHOLIC CoLLEaE.--We received q call, on
Monday, from the Rev. James Croko, Vicar
General Of California, who is now engaged in
collecting subscriptions to endow Catholic
College at San Francisco. About $4,000 will
be required for this purpose, and judging from
the success which has thus far attended the
movement, this amount will be raised. The
purpose is to establish college in which chill
dren can obtain thorough education, at an
expense OF from one to two hundred dollars per
annum, thus placing the advan tages of the in
stitution within the means Of all. 1t will be
under the control of the Catholics, but open to
all denominations-the education to be secular,
except in cases whero parents or guardians
may request the pupils to receive religious in
strustion. Father Croke informs US that he
met with much better success than anticipated
in the northern counties. In Marysville, he
collected about $1,000, and over 81, 500 in
Grass Valley and vicinity, 5000 of which was
subscribed by tho owners Of Allison ranch lead
He will remain in Nevada for several days, aud
we trust the citizens residing in this neghbor'
hood will not fall behind those of other sections
OF the State in liberal contributions for sc
praise-worthy purpose.
