CooL.-A young man in Toledo, who
last week killed his wife in fit of we'll
founded jealousy, was asked, as he paced
the hall of the city prison, how he felt,
and replied: 81 feel sadly pleased, if you
know what that is" Afterward, in reply to
a suggestion that he should keep cool, and
patiently await events, he remarked ::
Eyes, it is rather cool affair, and is quite
new thing to me-"

THE NEW RAILROAD ARRANGEMENT
IN New HAMPsHIRE,-The Northern
Railroad has made large reduction on
its passenger tariff, and is about to simil-
arlv reduce its freight rates. If the new
arrangement is sanctioned by the Council,
Gov Stearns will, it is thought, retire
from the Old Colony road. The excite
ment over the late transaction between
the two railroads is the great theme of
conversation but nothing new has tran
spired. The ring held a meeting in Man
chester on Monday. The Nashua Tele-
graph suggests that the matter should
be made subject of general legislative
overhauling, and that the State may step
in and take away the road, as it has a
right to do, according to its charter, under
certain conditions. This would be likely
to be opposed by the Ring, who would
lose all they had paid over the par value
of their stock.

OVERLAND MoNTHLY.-The Overland
Monthly for May opens with a striking
account of Lockwood, the half-insane
land lawyer of Indiana and California,
and closes with five or six of those book
notices which Mr.. Harte writes SO inter
estingly, and which are no way inferior
as bits of writing to his best stories. Be-
tween this Alpha and Omega there is
much good prose and verse, and the num-
Der is fully equal to its forerunners. The
Overland keeps up its spirit remarkably.
-Chicago's literary venture in the maya
zine line-the Western Monthly-has a
capital number for May; not quite equal
to either its eastern or western rivals, but
Astounding in good writing and with less
of the incipient and provincial air than
inland magazines are apt to have.

Infamous Traffic.

The San Salvador ship Dolores Ugarte, is lying
outside our harbor, having arrived on wednesday
last, from Macao, with five hundred and eighty
four coolies on board, bound for Callao. We
learn that the Captain requests permission to land
his cargo in squads of fifty, for the purpose of re-
cuperating them. 1t seems that the last ship
which stopped here, the Henry TN, lost two
hundred and seventy of her chattels between this
port and CalIao, for this reason this Captain de-
sires to air his cargo.
This ship, like the former, has all the parapher-
MALTA of the old time SLAYER grated hatch ways,
barbados aft, ~sentries, &C., &c. A few of the
unfortunates are allowed on deck at a time, for
exercise, and in order to accelerate their move
ments men with cat-o-nine-tails stand at conven-
lent distances to keep them moving lively. I'M
agine, reader, five hundred human beings cribbed,
cabineda and confined betweendecks in such weather
as we have had the past week. The poor
wretehes crowd to the main hatch gratings for air;
the strong succeed, the weak must stand back
and die. Imagine, if you can, the charnel house
the Henry 18th must have become with six or eight
men diving daily. OF course her cargo did not
pay. Shall we help the owners of this cargo to
line their pockets? The first promptings of a
humane heart would be to let this cargo land,
but is it not better to refuse the right to these
five hundred and seventy and thus prevent this
hellish traffic, by making it Improbable Better
thus than let thousands be sacrificed In time to
come. The question is, shall the Hawaiian Islands
become the halfway house for the South Ameri-

WASHINGTON, Aug. Gan official notification of
war between France and Prussia having been
received Yesterday, the fact is made known that
the President is determined to issue a proclana-
ton of neutrality. He says he will promulgate
this order of neutrality when he returns from st.
Louis. The proclamation will particularly explain
the neutrality laws, SO they may be fully under
stood by the people.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The excitement among the
Germans over the news of the Prussian victory is
intense. Jubilant crowds tbrong the vicinity OF
the newspapers, particularly those OF the German
journals. Grand demonstrations will be made to-
night, in the way of mass meetings, professions, etc.
Secretary Boutwell, has opened the bids for the
exclusive right of catching fur seals at st. Paul

AUCKLAND. N. a., August Bird, 1870.
MY DEAR COMMERCIAL Here l am q regular
Britisher, all but the side lights, and the loose HIS,
having attained a weight of one hundred and fifty
three pounds sterling. Our arrival had been
anxiously looked for, as many had about given up
the WongG, she being overdue. The cause of which
was, g short of Goals" This cry was heard when
we were about a aoeek out from Honolulu but still
we thought that by being very careful, and taking
advantage of the winds, We might get into Auckland
without much trouble. Well, of course we came
down to about half steam, and did the best we could,
without any favorable breezes, and all went jolly
enough till we were within six days Of New Zealand,
and on ly three days steam, with a head wind, and
heavy head sea to buck against. Our ships company now be-
gan TO get up a scare, and felt that they were really in a bad
fix to say the least, as we would soon be short Of provisions
and water, and If we had much more bad weather, would GER
tainly run out of coal entirely, as we had to use some steam TO
keep steerage way on. We could not let the fires go out, as we
would use so much coal firing up again. Afer a day or two
Zealand then came a light head wind again, with a smooth
sea. Fortunately, having one days full steam to spare, we iet
this our last chance. as it really was 80 we put TO the old
WOnga, and just reached the Bay Of Islands, where we lay for
twenly-four hours, got in a supply Of coal, and started tor
Auckland, arriving here next morning. OF course all felt
relieved when ON shore.
/ never saw a man more careful and anxious than Captain
Beale he was constantly on the watch for any change In the
wind or weather, so as to take any possible advantage he could.
No sleep for that man, he was up night and day. 1 am sorry
to hear he has been discharged.
Auckland and in fact the whole Of the Colonies are very
much depressed at present, trade dull, and markets largely
overstocked, failures going on every day, some Of them very
heavy houses -.
