MAYORS OFFICE, CRY OF New ORLEANS,
Cry HALL, April 26th, 1862. Flag Officer
d. G. Fariqut, u. S. flag ship Hartford. Sir:
In pursuance of a resolution which we
thought proper to take, out of regard for the
lives of the women and children who still
crowd the metropolis, Gen Lowell has evac-
uated it with his troops and restored back to
me the administration of IFS affairs and the
custody OF its honor. have, in council with
the city fathers, considered the demand you
made OF me yesterday, Of an unconditional
surrender of the city, coupled with the re-
QUESTION to hoist the flag OF the United States
on the public editices and haul down the flag
that still floats from the dome of this hall.
1t becomes my duty to transmit to you an
answer which the universal sentiment OF my
constituents no less than the prompting OF my
own heart dictates to me on this sad and sol
emn OCCASION The city is without means Of
defence, and is utterly destitute of the force
and material that might enable it to resist all
overpowering armament l am no military
man, and possess no authority beyond that Of
executing the municipal laws of the city of
New Orleans. 1t would be presumptuous in
me to attempt to lead an army to the field il l
had one at my command, and know still less
how to surrender an undefended place, heldas
this is at the mercy Of your gunRers and your
mortars to surrender such place were an
idle and unmeaning ceremony. The city is
yours by the power of brutal force, not by my
choice or the consent Of its inhabitants. 1t is
for YOU to determine what will be the fate that
awaits her. As to hosting any flag not OF
our own adoption and allegiance, let me say
to YOU that the man lives not in our midst,
whose hand and heart would not be paralyzed
at the mere thought OF such an act, nor could
/ find in my entire constituency so desperate
and wretched renegade as would dare to pro-
fame with his hand the sacred embems Of our
aspirations
Sir, you have manifested sentiments which
would become one engaged in better cause
than that to which you have devoted your
sword doubt not that they spring from
noble though deluded nature, and know how
to appreciate tile emotions which inspired
them. You have gallant people to admins.
trate during your occupancy OF this city-a
people sensitive TO all that can in the least
affect their dignity and solErespect. Pray
sir, do not tail to regard their susceptibilites.
The obligations which shall assume in their
name shall be religiOusly complied with. You
may trust their honor, though you might not
count on their submission to unmerited wrong.
In conclusion, beg you to understand that
the people of New Orlenns,wh unable to re-
sist your force do not allow themselves to be
insulted by the interference of such as have
rendered themselves odiOus and contemplate
by their dastardly desertion OF our cause in
the mighty struggle in which we are engaged,
or such as might remind them too forcibIy

Trightful Occurrence.

Shortly after ten clock 1.-The Female Blon-
din assembled one Of the stages connected with
the rope, which is about one hundred feet IN
height, and by the aid Of blue fires, and attireo
in suit of armor, proceeded on her perllous
VOYAGE in mid-air She reached the Eastern
stage in safety, and again returned, performing
the feat of wheeling the barrow a third time.
She crossed the rope covered with sack, and
then commenced her final tour to the starting
point in the midst of fireworks discharged from
each end Of the balancing pole she carried IN
her hands.
She arrived within about twenty feet Of the
western stage, when the Catherine wheels at
each end Of the pole had reached tae1r great
est velocity, and at which momentreports. were
heard and stars of various hues we're emitted.
At this Instant it was plainly observable that
there was fearful oscillation of the pole as
well as of the unfortunate performer. A gen
eral cry was raised that she was falling, the
pole fell from her grasp, and the performer top
Dled over. For moment she appeared TO cling
to the rope either by her legs or hands, but,
whether from fright Or otherwise, IN another
second she was seen descending head foremost
into the midst of the lofty trees beneath her;
The scene Of horror and CONSERVATION, coupled
with the screams of the females present at this
moment, may we'll be imagined, and hundreds
rushed to the spot where the poor creature lay
at the foot of the tree, completely doubled up
and apnarently Efeless. Cries for medical aid
were raised in every direction.
Two physicians were Immediately on the spot,
and the unfortunate woman was carried IN an
iosensible and apparently lifeless condition to
an apartment adjoining the theatre, where,
upon examination by the medical men, she was
found still alive, but her countenance, pulse
and respiration were at once prediction OF
very serious injury being sustained.
In short time she was restored to conscious
ness, and by the direction and under the super
intendence of the medical gentlemen was con-
viewed to sleeping apartment OF the tavern,
where more complete examination was at
tempted to be made, but upon manipulation
her sufferings were SO acute that In consulta-
ton with her own medical attendant, Mr.. King,
Of Highbury, who had by this time arrived, it
was considered advisable to allow her to repose
for some hours, carefully watched, and an ar
rancement was made for an early morning con
sultation. At this time it was the opinion OF
the medical gentlemen that although the lnju-
ries we're not defined, they were significant OF
