New Light Shed ON the Cause Of His Dk-
appearance.
From the Detroit Post.
A letter has been received in this city
from Detroit lady now sojOurning in Syria,
which assumes to shed some new light on
the mysterious destruction Of DR.. Living
stone in Africa. The writer made the ac-
quaintance of Captain Burton, British con-
sui at Damascus, a man noted for his travels
both in the new world and the old, and in q
position to be well informed as to the tribes
of Central Africa and Dr. LivingstOne's
adventures among them. He says the doc
tors recent stay of two years or there
abouts, like all other troubles, had a woman
at the bottom of it. He was first per-
suaded, much against his wish, to marrya
rude and clustering native princess, and
when he afterward proposed to leave Mrs.
Livingstone in order to prosecute still fur
ther his Typographical investigation, his fond
father in-law and mOther-in-law interposed
such strong objections that he was virtually
kept prisoner, and thus it happened that
the honeymoon was so OutrageOusly pro
lOnged. The captain says the reason this
fact had never been made public is that the
doctors friends, feeling outraged by the
in keeping it secret. The letter adds that
Captain Burton himself married the hand
soonest woman in England" so that he can
hardly be moved with envy toward his fel-
low traveller, and as he speaks fourteen
different languages, his capacity for telling
the truth would be considerable.

FUNERAL OF ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.
A Great Ccncourse Of People-HOn0rs ia
the IllustriOus Dead.


PORTSMOUTH, N. H., August 1.-THE flu
neral of Admiral Farragut to-day was at
tended by larger concourse of people than
ever before assembled in this State on a
similar occasion. The cOrtege left the navy
ward at half-past eleven, escorted by the
marine corps Of the station and Charlestown,
and detachment of United States troops,
and brought to this city by the United
States steamer Speedwell.
The remains were inclosed in an elegant
metallic coffin, heavily laden with flowers.
and borne on bier from the steamer by ten
seamen of the Vandalia. and placed in a
hearse which then took its place in the pro-
scessiOn.
The pall-bearers were Rear-Admral
Thatcher, CommOdores Steadman and Bad
ges, Captains Parrot and Weld, Com
mander Potter, Paymaster Watson, Chief
Engineer Moore, Colonel McCauley of Ma
rine Corps, and Generals Mcdowell and
Foster of the army.
The mourners were Mrs. Farragut and son,
ex-Secretary Wells and Fox, Senators Cra-
gin Patterson and Wilson, and General
Banks.
The procession was nearly mile long,
embracing all classes of people.
The public building and most places OF
business and many private residences were
draped in mourning. Bells were tOlled.
minute guns fired, and business suspended.
A dense crowd filled the streets along the
route.
st. Johns Episcopal Church, in which the
service was held, was appropriately draped.
The religious exercises were conducted by
Rev. r. w. Clark, resident minister. assisted
by Rev. DIR. Montgomery, of New York, the
Adnliral's pastor. The remains, suisse
ouently, with religious and Masonic rites
were placed IN tomb near the church A
the immense eoncourse of people who had
sembled left the scene.

Humanity and justice required the court
to reduce the bonds. No one could be held
guilty until proved so. The maxim OF law
was innocent until proved gully. There
was one above the supreme judge whom
the court approaches in similarity OF power:
whose Judgments were judgments tempered
with mercy. The court could afford to imi-
tate such judges. He and his associates
were not bond brokers: they were lawyers
and gentlemen, and they could not assist
their clients in this instance. Mrs. Follin
had hostages to offer in her property. He
trusted that the bonds would be reduced.
Colonel Mckay said that he had drawn
out mortgage on the property of Ellen
Follin, valued at the lowest estimate at
$4,000 to give as security to any who
would sign her and her sisters bonds.
The court declined to reduce the bonds
and decided that as Mr.. Dawes had not
formally surrendered Ellen FOllen IN open
court. he was still responsible for her APP
pearance, and would be until the terlnlna-
ton of the trial. She did not require
another bond. The court also declded 10
accept William Green as bOndsman IN the
sum of five thousand dollars for Louisa
Murray
The case went over until Monday, at ten
o'clock.

A SKETCH OF MCMAHON.

Mr.. Halstead writes from Paris to the
Cincinnati Commercial:
was not lion hunting, but accidentally
run against one of the largest proportions
a lion just from Africa, too. l heard a man
-exclaim in the crowd: 'sWhy, there is Nc
Mahon." And sure enough, there was the
most celebrated of living French Generals,
the best personifcation of the French sol
der, the hope of the French army in the
struggle at hand, and greatpOpular favor
lite. He had, as 1 see by the papers this
morning, spent large portion of the day
with the Emperor. Parisians have for some
days thought that he was with his corps
near Strasburg, and his departure is an
event. He was called from A1giers the mo-
nient that there were signs of the imminent
outbreak of war. He was in citizens dress
last night, and with three gentlemen like
wise dressed as civilians, but the group
the Marshal was accompanied by
: some Of his staff was after
They were enjoying themselves with the
pretense Of being plain people, but their
faces and bearing, every feature and move
merft, indicated their profession. Mcmahon
wore a new silk hat, and its especial gloss
was all that made him prominent in the
crowd. His hair is white--a soft, brilliant
whitc-and cut close, and his mustache is
also white-as white as Fernando Woods
but not half SO large. He is said not to be
an imperialist, and so small circumstance
as that he does not wear his beard in the
fashion of the Emperor gives confirmation
to the report. He wears no imperial, his
lower lip being clean shaver. In spite Of
his white hairs he has not the appearance Of
advanced years. His eye, complexion, and
carriage indicate that he is in the prime of
life. His face is healthy scarlet, the sun
of Africa being responsible, ! suppose,
chiefly, for the briiliancy of the bronze on
his cheeks. His features are not grand, but
ARE refined, his nose is almost delicate in it's
fine outline and sharpness, and his mouth is
sad rather than severe. You can see this
expression of sadness-there is something
that touches the pathetic in tin the pic
tpres Of him that will now appear every
where, and which are becoming as plentiful
here as those of the Emperor, whose
Astounding photographs are one of the
troubles Of the times. McMahOn's eye is
little sunken, and a light blue, / think, with
a CHEEKY, intelligent sparkle in it THAT am
sure of; and in bis walk he is quick, and in
gesture rather deliberate for Frenchman.
Not many persons seemed to recognize him,
and he paid no attention to those who did
and were staring at him with evident curl
osity, nor was there anything in his manner
to show consciousness that he was observed.
Two or three times was the cry 'Vive Nc
Mahon," but he gave no sign of hearing it.
There was not the slightest symptom of
that look of "the hardened despOt' in
which people who are unduly sensible of
Importance and fame, or of celebrity of
e sort, so often disguise themselves.

For he had nice little story to tell

He nut on his sword and his sharperst spurs,
And, taking up the advance he
Made Marshal Mcmahon stop making love
With Nancy.
The Marshal retired to the fortress of Tou
And did at a single glance see
The Crown Prince draw to bis royal breast
Sweet Nancy.
1t made him so mad to see such a sight
So deeply enraged-that to dance he
Began, because he'd for many year

So ne waxed has mOustache till twas stiff as glue
And, sharpening up his lance, he
Straddled his horse and babe an adeu

And the Crown Prince looked on with q fierce

And as if in pleasant trance, he
Poured a tale of love in the little ears
OF Nancy.
And sitting there till this very day,
His fortunes to enhance, he
Offers his hand and he offers his heart

We invite attention to the advertisement
of the fine estate of DR.. F. G. Neale, of
st. Mary's county, Md. situate on the Pa
tuxent river, and comprising 500 acres of
prime land, divided into two farms, nearly
all arabic. There is no better soil or eli
mate than that for fruit culture; it is also
good for grain, within mile of steam
boat wharf, and admirably located for the
enjoyment of the luxuries of the salt wa
ter-fsh, oysters, crabs, wild fowl, &c.
Fruit aourishes there in its greatest per-
fection, peaches, pears, plums, damsons,
cherries, apples, ounces, strawberries,
raspberries, blackberries, grapes, succeed
there admirably, and the season is ten days
or two weeks in advance of this part of
Delaware. Gentlemen in search of good
fruit and grain farm, with all the luxures
Of the salt water, should examine that
property. The grounds around the dwell
ling are ornamented with shade trees,
flowers and shrubbery, and elevated fifty
feet above tide.

REvIEw.-We were in error, last week,
in saying the bill to charter the Elkton
and Massey's Railroad failed to become
law for want of time The charter was
passed. and also bill introduced by Geo.
Biddle, Esq. appropriating $58, to
said road, when an equal amount shall
have been subscribed BY individuals. The
bill which failed was an enabling act to
authorize Baltimore City to endorse the
bonds of said Company. This was intro
duced at later stage of the session, and
failed for want of time.

Growers to them.

bate. The substitute was finally laid upon

Charles Beasten, Esq. then offerod the
following resolution: s.
Resoired, That the price for carriage from
Jersey City to New York hitherto paid,
is much more than in our opinion would
be ample compensation for the performance
of the service, and that whether tho cart
agcis paid by shippers or buyers, We
think the rate to be paid in the future
should not exceed three cents per basket

How TO WRITE FOR THE PREss.-Write
plainly, especially all names of persons or
places, all words not in common use, all

cudgel his brain over your pot-hooks
and hangers" and to dig out your mean

and involved sentences, and then blame
the stupidity of the printer for not being
able to comprehend your own. Printers
generally are apt at deciphering ordinary
chirography, but very few of them under.
