THE PLATTE vlLLkY ArFAIs.-The Quincy
Wing of Saturday has Information from Mr..
Hawley, who was a passenger on the steamer
Platte Valley, recently cverhau.ed by Jeft
Thompson, below Cape G,rardeau, which gives
new phase Of that aGlir. After details pre-
viousy given, and referring to the dischargiDg
tho soldiers and other persons on board, on
psrole, this inforraat s.ys:
Two persons on til, boat, however, did not
get off 90 easily. Tl..y were carpenters, who
vent from this city to Memphis about year
since, and were pressed into the Confederate
service, and had been at work upon the ti6
cations at that place all summer. They sue
ceeded few DAYS since IN getting away and
reaching Cairo Oh their way to this city. Hav-
ing drawings of tsc works around Memphis in
their possession. they showed them to General
Grant while at Cairo, and, supposing them
selves perfectly safe, had shown them to per-
sons on the boat, bssides giving oil the in
formation they were in possession OF regarding
the secesh army around that city. When jeff
and his thieves came on board these men we're
betrayed by spy who hnd taken passage for
St. Louis. aud who was pretended Union man,
and had on q regular United States regulation
cap, with the letters "U. s." upon it. They
we're Of course taken of, and there is every
reason to suppose that before this time they
are numbered among the victims Of this hellish
rebellion. This spy went of with the gang and
was undoubtedly one Of their clan. The OH
GERS Of she boat were arrested at Cape Girar
deGu upon suspicion Of being in collision with
the rebels, and the probabilities are very strong
that such may have been the case.

@Ar. Spurgeon is coming out in new lire,
and devoting his Tabernacle to somewhat novel
uses. 4 few weeks ago he gave facetious lee
tare on the Gorilla in this building, which was
only recently opened rs the House Of God. On
the table from which the Rev. gentleman preach
es. tor he has no pulpit was exhibited mon
ster specimen Of the Gorilla, brought over by du
Challu. Amid peals of laughter Mr.. Spurgeon
described the habits. &C., OF this forbidding ami.
NAL, occasionally splicing his remarks with pas
ssges Of Scripture:-for example, looking stead
lily at the dead specimen he said "Betwixt me
and you there 10 = great gulf 6xed," and SO on.
The lecture was 80 decided success, that Nr.
Spurgeon determined to try again, and 80 an
nounced to lecture on Shrews,-and how to
take them" Several illustrations of shrews were
given from Xantippe to Mrs Wesley. Copious
extracts from Shakspeare's we'll known play
and the audience was tickled by anecdotes gath
cred BY the reverend lecturer in his immediate
circle, The whole performance was highly
amusing, and the tabernacle rang with applause.

the expedition will start nor to its destination
