ton. He had arrived at Algiers with
the tribute, which the United States, in
common with all other Governments,
then paid to the Dey. While his vessel,
the frigate George Washington, was "
ing at anchor under the batteries of Al
giers, the Dey requested him to carry
his Ambassador and presents to the Sui

ed by concluding a treaty of peace with
France when Turkey and her British ally
were carrying on war in Egypt against
the French army under BonaParte. Up
on refusing to go on such an errand, the
Dey insolently remarked to him. You

slaves; l have, therefore, right to or

of the frigate, and the slavery of him

valuable commerce in that quarter by
the Algerine corsairs, cambridge finally
consented to execute the mission. In

serious accident occurred on Monday after
noon last at Woods corner while the demolition
was going on. The men were taking down the
roof. This had been cut into sections, and the
intention was to pull them down separately. At
this time the entire structure was held together
by but one tie at the south end; which, while
three men were under the roof, some smarty
struck with crowbar, and looscncd. The build
ing went to pieces like flash and the roof fell
with crash burying two men underneath and
seriously injuring third. The third was Mr.
VIM Brown. He was not buried by the debris,
but was struck on the head by timber, which
inflicted II bad wound; he also had u leg broken
Just above the knee. He was Immediately put
under medical care, and is doing rs well rs can
be expected. The other two men escaped IN
some miraculous way; both were pinned down
by the roof, so that they could not stir till the
roof was lifted; but neither was injured more
than slightly. Schneider had stiff back and a
peeled arm; and Lynch peeled finger.

NEW YORK.

New YoRK, Aug. 1e.-John e. Leete
was brought before Judge Flanner of the
Tombs police court this morning. The
charge made by the officer was disorderly
conduct, and before the magistrate could
interrogate him he waived his arms in a
declamatory form and turning round
toward the audience launched into
vigorous denunciation of his enemies;
be protested there was conspiracy to
imprison him in a foul and loathsome
dungeon where he could not be heard
from again under form of star chamber
proceeding, and with extravagant gestula-
tions he cried aloud, Is there no person
here to protect me?" The magistrate de-
cided TO commit him to the charge of the
commissioners Of charity and corrections,
with a view to an examination of his
mental condition, Some artihce had to
be employed to leave the court room.
Casting his eyes in the direction of the
prison box he shrank back with an air of
dismaY, and exclaimed in tremulous tones,
that is the road to perditioD. The officer
then conducted him out of the front door
gently soothing his plants on the way by
kind words.

liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit of debitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic Con-
tanning the juices of many medicinal herbs this

strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for

NEW YORK, August l9.-The Potter
committee resumed its ses-
sion to-day. Jno. E. Leete and his appar-
ent insanity was generally discussed. His
wife aud children are sick with yellow fe-
yer IN New Orleans, which, with the ex-
element of testifying before the commit
tee may have caused temporary derauge-
ment of mind. A dispatch was received
from Gov. Kellogg in Chicago denying
several statements made by Leete in his
testimony, and stating that Leete had
been for months past begging for an of
fee, lattery threatening and denouncing
him because he did not receive one. Apy
statement that Packard and himself or
leading representatives ever took Leete in
to the party councils would be received
with derision in Louisiana,
AS Mr.. Horn, was expected to testify,
did not put in an appearance, the sergeant
at arms was directed to compel his attend
ance before the committee tomorrow.
Gen. Butler then called attention to his
request, made last week, regarding the
failure and refusal of Senator Stanley
Matthews to appear; he now moved that
the fact of his service by subpoena, and
his failure to come before the committee,
be entered on the minutes, and that this
committee report him to the house fo1
their action.
Potter said he had lost sight of Butler's
motion last week bat remembered it. and
would sustain it; he put the resolution t.
the committee and it was unanimously
carried. Adjourned.
