WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.- Commander
Thatcher, of the ship Consultations, in a
letter to the Navy Department, dated Spez-
zia the Sd inst. says he had just received
advices from our Consul at Berux, Syria,
that the Sultan's iirnion for the execution
of the murderer of Mr.. Cotiug, the Ameri-
can Missionary, reached Advana while the
Constellation was still at anchor near that
place, and the criminal was Immediately
oeheaded in the presence OF a vast con-
course Of people, and without any popular
outbreak as had been anticipated.
The Consular representations of the
United States, France, Russia and Italy
witnessed the execution, which is said to
have been FASTENED on the account Of tue
presence of the ship Constellation. The
official announcement reached the port a
very short time after she sailed. The Tur-
kish Government has behaved with great
justice and courtesy towards the United
States in this matter.

Bg wATER-rRoop Boor soLEs.-The
Scientific American says if hot taris applt-
ed to boot soles, it will make them water
proof. Let be as hot as the leather will
bear without.injury, applying it with swab
aud drying it in by fire. The operation may
be repeated two or three times during the
winter, if necessary. 1t makes the surface
of the leather quito hard, so that it wears
longer, as well as keeps out the water
Oil or grease softens the sole, aud does not
do much in keeping the water out. 1t is a
good plan to provide boots for winter dur-
ing the Summer, and prepare the soles by
tarring, as they will then become, before
they are wanted to wear, almost as firm as
horn, and will wear twice as long as those
unprepared.

Thursday last fire was discovered iu a
straw house belonging to the Messrs.
Sweeney, situated between the Glass house
and the river, in the FIRST Ward. The water
WAS turned upon the flames aud the FIRE
was soon e1tinguished, not however until
the straw and the frame building in which
it was contained, were destroyed. The loss
will not exceed one hundred dollars. 1t
is supposed that some boys carried the fire
to the building either from cArelessuess or
malice. as it was an isolated establishment
in which there was no occasion for FIRE.
This opinion is confirmed by the fact that
are was discovered only few minutes
before in an obscure part of the adjoining

HEADQ'Rs Army OF THE PoroNAc,
November 9th.


November 9th.
There is no news OF Importance or espe.
cial interest to communicate to-day as vet.
Our advance is delayed from circumstances
beyond the control of Gen. Burnside, but
these are being overcome as rapidly as pos.
sible. aTailiCg themselves of the opportuui
~ so unexpectedly afforded them by our
delay. The rebels are exertiug themselves
to the utmost in the erection OF eaTthWorks
and batteries, new ones appearing almost
daily. They already have formidable
chain OF earthwOrks extending along the
ridges beyond fredericksburg and they can
be distinctly seen throwing up others, in
addition to these they have rifle pits ar
ranged in convenient positions, evidently
designed for the use of their sharpshooters.
y British flag is displayed on one of the
houses in the city. Many of tie citizens
hereabouts claim to be British subjects. aud
urge that as q safeiuard against the seizure
OF forage and the occupation OF their prem
ises By the military authorities. They are,
however, all bitter secessionists, and aid
the enemy 10 every possible manner, many
OF them having sons in the rebel army.
Our cavalry have recently captured num-
beers of rebels scattered through the woods
between US and the Potomac, who were
probably cut off from the fOrds by the uu-
expected approach of our forces at this
place. They are in terrible state of des-
ttutton, many of them being hatless, with
out shoes, blankets OF, decent clothing
There are still number remaining, lurking
about in the woods, and the enemy 8 pickets
remain along the river banks, but picket
firing has entirely ceased, and the officers
of both armies may be seen at any time
along the shores scanning each other.
All remains quiet along the lines.
The upper lords are quietly held by our
forces, the rebels having made no demon
stration at those points for some time.
In fredericksburg the stores and houses
remain apparently closed up the city de.
serted except by a few of its male residents
and the secesh patrol. 4ar.
