ing coast, was ldunCnen on ohtuEAdy hioin''nS ia
Algiers, at the ship yard of Messrs John Hughes
& Co. She is to be a steamer, and, Judging from
her appearance, we think she will be both swift
and staunch. Messrs. Hughes Co. have worked
on this vessel with o rapdity which is almost as
tonishng for it is two months since the first
timbers were laid. We hope that an equal amount
of yigor will be displayed by the contractors who
have the others on the way. They cannot be
finished moment too soon.
INSPECTION AND REVIEW OF THE LOUISIANA LE-
GIoN.-The city wore quite military aspect on
last Saturday afternoon. The occasion was the
review of the Louisiana Legion, under command ct
Col. Augustn, acting Brgadier-General in the
absence of Brigader- General Trudeau, which took
place on Canal street. Major General John L.
Lewis and Staff reviewed and inspected the troops
and found them in very fattering state of eff
cheney. There were about 1000 men on the ground
and though only about two-:hrds of them were
armed they gave sufficient evidence Of having
been carefully drilled and exercised by their I'M
mediate commanders. The most notable corps
present were the Battalion of Orleans Guards,
Lieutenant-Colone Massieu; the French Legion,
Major Rochereau; Beauregard Battalion, Major
Frank Bartlett; Captain Meillenr's Battalion, and
the Regiment OF Cazadores, Major Miargolara. 1t
would be insidious to speak specially of any single
corps, for we believe that we do only simple JUS
tice by saying that all were worthy the confidence
of the public.
The First Brigade will be out this afternoon in
Lafayette square, and will be inspected and re-
viewed. We expect to find as great number of
troops ont on this occasion as we ON Saturday
as the brigade comprises some Of the best drilled
and most numerous corps Of the upper part of the
city.
DIED OF Ils WorSDs.-Mr. Edgar Deaforges
WHO was wounded on Friday afternoon in ibis rem
contre with Mr.. Dusumier, died at ] o'clock on
Saturday morning. He received several wounds
in the body, two of which entered the lungs and
caused his death. We have been unable to learn
the exact nature of Mr. Dussumer's wounds, but
understand that they are of very serious nature,
and will probably result in his death also. There
are many conflicting accounts regarding the origin
Of this unfortunate affair: but for fear of doing
unntentiona} wrong to either party, refrain from
giving them. The whole truth will undoubtedly
be asGeraincd when the Coroner holds an inquest
upon the body of the unfortunate young man who
is already dead To publish what we have heard
would only be pandering to an idlegcuriosity, per
haps, at the expense of Justice. When we hear
anything reliable We shall publish it.
Since the above was in type we have learned
that Mr.. Dussumier died at Il NJ. yesterday of his
wounds. The Coroner will proceed to hold an ex-
animation in the whole affair tomorrow.
ANOTHER WOUNDED MAN DEAD.--Jerry Sullivan,
who was shot on Friday evening at the corner Of
Annunciation and Richard streets, by Thomas
Maher, died at a late hour the same night at the
Charity Hospital. DR.. Barthelot, the City Physi-
clan. made post mortem examination the
body. Two wounds were found, one in the right
shoulder, of an uninportant nature, and the other
in the right thigh, which passed through the thigh
and into the lower part of the abdo men, inuring
the intestnes and seyerng both the right and left
lilac arteries, producing hemorrhage and death.
Sullivan was au lrishmGn, and about 80 years of
age. From what we can learn of the case it
would appear that the shooting was iustihable on
the part Of Maher. The Coroner will hold an in
quest to-day.
A STAND OF CoLoRs TAxEN.-Horatio Davis, an
Eng7hman, yesterday got gaoriously drunk, and
went on breeze around the levee. He wished to
create an impression, and therefore took along
with him simon pure " star-spangled banner =
and. like the lrisAman at Donnybrook fair to get
up bit Of row. for the fun of the thing, gave
@heer after cheer for the American flag, and ID
the land-lubber who would not second him. He
was now successful in getting into a difficulty but
not exactly of the kind, perhaps, he calculated on,
for officer bennett happening to come along, aud
such couldCt smelling in his nosrils rs rank trea
son. Horatio was arrested. his flag captured and
both carried off in triumph to the First District
caIaboose, Horatio will, no doubt, regret his con-
duct when brought up before Recorder Emerson
this morning, but it is likely that he will have to
get some one to bet high on his neutrality before
he gets out Of the clutches of the law. Sch is
life.
