NIAGARA FALLS, (Clifton House,) July q.
ihe Great Banished, with family and bag
gage, took his departure from the gay and
festive Clifton to-day, amid the tears and wall
lpgs OF tie few Eeecsh here, bu: to the relfel
Of the landlord and more respectable guests
His exact destination is q mystery at his OWE
request, md although made aware Of ite To-
cality, will not outrage his own wishes By
making it known. It is, however, within he.
Majekty's dominione, and not a dozen miles
distant from this spot. It costs money to
stop at a tirst-class hotel, aud the law of re-
1renchment necessit&tes the occupation oi
more humble and less expensive quarters, the
more especially as he begins to appreciate the,
to him, sad fact that his banishment IL pretty
sure to terminate only with the original sen.
tence-ahe close Ct the war. His hopes o1
restoration bT means Of the popular voice Of
the people of Ohio, never sangutne, are daily
growing "smaller by degrees and beautifully
less" "Dick Merrick" and "Danie1 Web

Is I have before Stated, the exhibition Of
the Great Banished at this point has not be-
gun to pay expenses. The sympathizing au-
cito1s Lave been few in number, poor in po.
Htica1 and personal antecedents, and not at al1
strong or cordial IN their coincidence. Most
Of them came to "take q look ut him u as a
curiosity rather than to 1ningle their "brine''
with Ills upon the wrong md Outrage which
he has suffered. His address to the people Of
IT. fHC r@alF ,f- f-A
leyolent and disloyal in its tone and utterance,
Was very vet blanket to q urge number Of
people and politicians, who, ut the outset Of
his misfortunes, were disposed to re,ard him
as martyr, and felt desirous Of extending to
him sympathizing hand. They hare not
been near lin, norWill they come. And now
be goes into retiIacy with this advice from
your correspondent: Settle down in some
pleasant torn In Canada, where great men
are not plenty; take the oath of allegiance to
The British Queen. open Inv office, plant
and cultivate the Christian graces, and subside
into IN ardent but quiet British subject, as
o'd your prototypes, the less Eenomons and
times. Free America is no place fur you, and
never will be. Do this and Canada may be
the gainer-Frceuom, truth nnd Justice will
certainly not be the loser.
EXCURSION FROM INDIANA And opIo.
Some five or SIX hundred exyursionists.
from Indiana and Ohio, the former prcpouder-

Saturday. This event greatly elated Vallan-

laps naturally enough, that this outpouring
