The Attempt TO Seize th g Cotton nt
San FranciscO-The Panama ri.


SAN Francisco, May 26-The examina-
tion made into the circumstances attending
the conspiracy to seize the Peruvian steam
er Cotton ut this port, reveals the fact that
parties on board the Brontezsome four hum
dred in number, enlisted ostensibly to pro-
ceed to Arizona, but really to land on the
Mexican coast in the Gulf of California
A man by the name of Williams was the
General commanding the expedition, and
another by the name OF Hungerford, of the
Army of the Potomac, was its Colonel
Subsequent to the detention of the Brontez
by the authorities, Williams and others con-
certed a scheme to seize the Cotton, run
her to sea, and use her as privateer
against French commerce. Some of the
leading parties in the conspiracy were
formerly known as rebel sympathizers.--
The Mexican General Vega, agent of the
Juarez Government made large advances
of money to Williams as the leader OF the
emigration scheme, until he ascertained
that the money was likely to be misapplied,
when he gave information against Will
liams. Williams had given others to under
stand that the seizure of the Cotton was
understood between the Mexican and Pc
ruvian authorities, and that the show of
force in making the seizure was necessary
to acquit the latter of any blame in the
matter. The men selected by Williams for
the enterprise were sworn to carry it
through ON the blade of sword in private,
and the duty of one of the parties was to
cnt the telegraph wires.
The scheme contemplated the seizure of
the French transport Phin, when she came
down from Mars Island "a T..
The parties arrested are in the city prison,
charged with conspiring to commit felo-
ny. .Theywi be examined before the po-
| lice court tomorrow.
The trial OF the Panama pirates was con-
| tinued. The letter of the rebel Secretary
of the Navy, Mallory, shows what was to
be done. Its genuineness is admitted. The
prisoners set up as their defense that they
were engaged in lawful warfare, and
should be considered as prisoners of war.
The subscription to the 730 bonds in
this city yesterday was quarter of a mil
lion of dollars. Wells, Fargo & Co. have
taken ain agency from Jay Cooke. %. sa

The Gold Market.

NEW YORK, May 30.--Gold is dull but
firm. The demand for export is consider
able, and is the chief reason for theocon-

is very general expectation that the price

BILE course of foreign exchange. The price
opened at 1887 this forenoon, receded to
1885, and declined to 1915.

q rE ~ CIRoLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
buildingof this city in November last, and
thus far 1t has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars 1t has, compara-
lively. greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fines from
/ the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches In diameter. This will insure the
influx Of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in a healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board Of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public edifces, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

ELLsLER'S ATHENEUM.-The "Ticket of
Leave Man" was again produced last night
before pleased and admiring audience. The
success which crowned its first production
the night before, was pre-eminent on last
evening. The plotof the play is simple,
and'by the attentive listener easily compre-
hended. Its great charm consists in faith
full and clear rendering of each particular
character In the piece, SO as to make its per-
sonages act, move and talk like men and
women in real life. This the company at
the Atheneum achieve with unrivaled pre-
cision and artistic skill. For the lovers of the
genuine drama, nothing could be easily
found more gratifying than the "Ticket of
Leave Man. as played at the Atheneum. 1t
will be reproduced tonight. s,kia l,yra
OPERA HousE.-The Opera House was
well filled last night, and it was truly the
temples of Momus. Mirth and merriment
were the order of the evening. 1t was be-
yond power Of the most stoical to pre-
serve becoming gravity. The muscles of
the face would relax into broad grin in
spite Of the utmost effort to preserve their
usual tension. sgcsEE'B $500
The "Kiss in the Dark" and the parts al
lotted the members of the stock company
in, the other pieces, were, well performed,
and Miss Lolita, the gem OF comedienne,
was well sustained in "Nan" and the "Odd
Trick" '"' @-' sS'Ff
s,Of Miss Lotta it is impossible to speak SO
as to satisfy ones self with the description.
Her comic acting as well as her singing are
SUI generis, or characteristic of herself alone.
She makes you laugh because you see in
her o lurking spirit of fun, mischief and
frolic. And yet in her ready transforma-
tipns, as last evening in the "Odd Trick"
she SO blends each new character with her
own personal identity that we wonder how
the same person can appear SO different from
what she was a few moments before. Miss
Lotta is surely "bright particular star,
in the line of light comedy. ri n
For this evenings entertainment, another
fine comic medley is selected, consisting of
three pieces-"Pas de Fascination," "Fam-
ily Jars" and the "Hole in the Walln Miss
Lotta will appear, as on last evening, ia
different characters and with songs and
dances. ~ Is.
