AMERICA.  ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.  By the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt. Nye, which arrived on Sunday morning, we have intelligence from New York to the 17th instant. She brought 148 passengers, and £4OO in specie. On the 10th instant the Pacific saw the Jeremiah Thompson, in lat. 41.13, lon. 66.52, bound west ; on the 21st, at two, p.m., passed steamer Hermann, from Southampton to New York, in lat. 47.45, lon. 49 ; and at midnight, on the 25th, passed U.S. mail steam-ship Baltic, hence to New York, in lat. 51.50, lon. 24.49. The Herald states that there is no truth in the report that the government had demanded the recall of Mr. Crampton ; but the New York Daily Times asserts that it is perfectly true. Since the Pennsylvania election an opinion has gained . A steam tug-boat, called the Senecia, exploded her boilers, presidency, Washington gthnnthtahtaht eMcarnnoßtubeelladneannied's turn has come and was torn to pieces, at Chicago, on the 16th instant. The captain (Donaldson) was killed, and the owner of the boat and for groundt h the pat e the engineer were both severely injured. A° order mill at Gorham, Maine, owned by Newhall and 11.11111,seven men and wounding several others. The Cincinnati Enquirer says that out of the 265 United States soldiers in the barracks at Newport, 20 deserted during the past two weeks. It was rumoured that agents of the British government had been instrumental in inducing these desertions, by offering large premiums to the soldiers if they would enlist for the Crimea. Dr. Hadel, of Cumberland, Md., and his clerk, named Graff, were both murdered on Sunday, the 14th instant, near that place, by a German. They were enticed out to attend a sick woman, and their bodies were found on the 16th, horribly mutilated. The murderer has been arrested, and the clothing, watch, and pocket-books of the victims were found in his possession. The doctor was formerly commissioner of health in Baltimore. The head of Dr. Hadel was found buried at some distance from his body. It seems that after the murder of the doctor, the murderer enticed his student, Graff, away, and then murdered him, so as to be able to rob the office, which he did on the same night. The murderer is a German pedlar, who broke out of gaol recently at West Alexander. Graff has a mother in New York. Hadel leaves a wife and two children, who were on a visit to Baltimore. The trial of Wagner, charged with violating the neutrality laws by enlisting a man named Cook for service in the Crimea, was commenced on the 12th instant, in the United States District Court, before Judge Ingersoll. This was the first case tried for this offence in New York, and was looked to with great interest. There was a great array of counsel engaged for the defence. The jury, on the 13th, found the prisoner guilty. The penalty is not more than $l,OOO fine and three years' imprisonment. The case will be argued on points of law. Accounts from towns along the Mississippi River, in Louisiana and Mississippi, are still discouraging. The yellow fever rages with great fatality in Jackson, Miss., Vicksburg, Miss., and Donaldsonville, Louisiana. The latest accounts from Norfolk and Portsmouth state that the fever had almost entirely disappeared ; the weather was of a fine, bracing character, and business men were once more rousing themselves to activity. On the 13th instant there were seven new cases of fever at Norfolk amongst returned refugees. On the following day there were three deaths, including two of the new cases. Some unknown miscreant fixed a rail across the Harlem railroad track, about a quarter of a mile above Williamsbridge, 14th instant, on Sunday night, the • and next morning, as the milk train, due at New York at half-past one o'clock, was approaching, contact ttawntitlh the above barrier, and were thrown off the track.
