THE EUTERPE.

The excitement raised in New York
in reference to this steamer originated
in the following circumstances: The
friends of the Cuban patriots have for
some months past been recruiting in the
United States, and have been shipping,
or attempting to ship, men and materials
of war to obscure ports in Cuba under
the control Of the reyolutionists. On
the other hand, the Spanish Govern
ment, taking a lesson from its oppo.
uents, commenced purchasing heavy
artillery in New York, and chartered q
steamship, the Euterpe, to convey the
guns to Havana. The Euterpe was then
seized under the charge Of attempting
to violate the neutrality laws, and after
a few days was restored to the eharterer,
a thorough examination disclosing no
cause for her detention. The owners OF
this steamship next wrote to the Secre-
tary of State inquiring what protection
the United States Government would
afford in case, rs had been rumored, the
Euterpe should be attacked by a Cuban
cruiser off Sandy Hook. Mr.. Fish re-
piled to this letter, that while on nero
rumor, convoy could not be given to
the Euterpe, yet the United States
would, if a vessel carrying their flag
is molested on tho high seas, use all
their power to punish the offenders
aud prevent a repetition Of the offense.
AS the Cuban privateer, tho Hornet,
which after leaving Halifax had her
name changed to the Cuba, has been
seized at S~mithville, North Carolina, at
the mouth of Cape Fear river, where
she had touched in an unsuccessful at
tempt to procure coal, there is no prob.
ability that the United States will be
called on to protect the Euterpe, but
the correspondence is considered impor-
.aut, as indicating the course Of the
Government. The purchase and ship
ment of arms and ammunition to either
the revolutionists or the Spanish au-
thorities will not be permitted, but the
owners and masters Of vessels must as
sumo the risk of capture, on the high
seas, Of such articles ms may be contra.
band of war. Tho neutrality laws,
however, will be enforced against the
fitting out Of naval or military expsdi-
tions. The United States Custom-house
officers, therefore, have been instructed
no. to seize guns and munitions of war
which have been shipped as merchan-
disc, but have been ordered to break up
all hostile expeditions, and to seize vcs-
sells fitted out and intended for immedi-
ate warfare. 1t may here be mentioned
that further discoveries have probably
been made in reference to the immediate
intentions of the voyage of the Euterpe,
as she has been refused her clearance
BY the Custom-house officers at New
York.

THE STAR CLUB, MY BOY.
Parodlzsdy for tho Gold Hill NEWS by
z. BOLIVAR sPYKESs.

1 was up at Virginia a few days ago
To see that there great base ball game
Twixt the Silver Star Club from Carson
you know,
And the Virginia Club, anxious for fame.
The. Horntowners reckoned their +" slopine
ground tracks
And rarifed air" to employ,
As strong points on which they the Star Clut
would wax
The Star Club Of Carson, my boy.
Oh the game was called on, and to it did
bend
The muscles Of each mothers son,
But the spectators considered the game at ar
end
Almost as soon 40 begun.
The Horntowners ran and charged to and
fro,
With endurance that knew no alloy,
But they came out way behind the otar Club
you know,
The Star Club Of Carson, my boy.
Now they say that young Smith never played
much before,
And Jinkins he could not appear,
Because he'd a finger all festered and sore,
And Jones had a bile on his ear;
But q much better reason than those thai
they show
Beat them out OF all triumphant joy
They played with the smart Silver Star Club
you know,
The Star Club Of Carson, my boy!

LIABILITY OF PRINCIPAL AND
AGENT. 4,

From the New York Stakeholder, October 81
The common law doctrine that the
principal is liable on contracts made 10
his behalf by his agent is about to be
tried in connection with the gold deal
OF the eventful Friday, September
oath. Mr.. Orlando W. Joslyn, a broker
business at No. IS Broad street,
filed, on Friday last, October LIST, in the
County Clerks office, two notices Of
tendency (tis penden,) Of actions against
James Fisk, Jr., Jay Gould, Henry n.
Smith, Henry H. Martin, James B. Bach,
William Heath, James NJ. Ellis and
Charles E. Quincy, for breach of con.
tract on the part Of the above named
persons in refusing to receive the sums
of ST., OO0, 900 and $500, 900 in gold coin,
which they had agreed to take Of Mr..
Joslyn at l6O, the gold to be delivered
on the 25th ultimo. The actions are
brought in the Court Of Common Pleas.
Mcssrs. James Belts Netcalf and Joseph
r. Flanders are the plaintiffs attorneys.
BY the failure Of Messrs. Fisk, Gould
and the other defendants named above,
to fulfill their contract, Mr.. Joslyn
to have sustained losses Of
S27O, 900 and Sl35 900, respectively, on
the 81, 900, 900 and $500, 900 sold to
defendants. The schedule Of property
attached to the notice, and which it is
intended it shall attach, specifies the
opera house and other property of the
defendants in the city Of New York.
The notice Of lis pendsns was issued at
tue early hour of 8 o'clock A. NJ, and
was at o o'clock promptly placed in the
hands Of tho Sheriff for service. The
common law rule permits q party who
has dealt with al agent, n broker for
instance, to hold his principal in dam
ages for breach Of contract, whether or
not the name of the principal was dis
closed at the time of the making of the
contract. In the suit mentioned above
the three persons last named as defend
ants are presumed 10 constitute the firm
which it is sought to hold as principal
in the transaction.
