These martyrs to Amerioan liberty were.

tbe soldiois captured at Fort WaHhWtoTi' and afterward brought to New York, and there placed in confinement. Provost Marshal Cunningham was tho jailer of these patriots, and the holds of five wretched hulks in Wallabout Bay constituted their dungeons. Bhut out from tbolight of day, of wholesome: and sufficient food, poisoned by, a mephitic atmosphere, till famine and noxious air infected thoir blood with fever; these men languished for months, sometimes for years when endurance could no longer resist the assault of pestilehcei till death relieved them of their BTtffciingfl. The tortures of the Africans on the slave ships during the horrors of the middle pas sage, not surpassed by those endured by these unfortunate victims. They literally nerished bv hundreds.

Some idea may be formed of their beroism, fortitude and devotion, when we recall the fact that they were offered liberation from their imprisonment, gooa pay ana positions in tne army equal to those which they had held in the American, at any time that they would abandon the American cause. They resisted the temptation, and chose instead' the dreadful fate whioh the tender mercieB of Cunningham had prepared for tbem. During the period of the occupation of Now York by the British, eleven thousand five hundred men perished on board those live bulks. Their bodies were interred in pits upon the beaoh, where, in many instances, the shallow sand that covered them was washed off by the tides, leaving their bones and decomposing bodies exposed. in louts ine Tammany Society disinterred these remains and removed them to the grounds of Mr.

Becjamin Bomayne. The caremonies on this occasion were of an imposing character the federal offi.crs were invited to take part and they were deposited in their present resting place, near Hudson avenue, we believe, with Ma sonic rites. The Dlace is now srreatlv dilinidated many pf the bones having become exposed, and it is said that large quantities of them have been taken away and employed by button makers in their manufacture. Tne bill of General Duiyea proposes to rescue these remains from further desecration, by removing tbem to Fort Greene, and there giving them honorable sepulture. It also provides for the erection of a suitable monument to toeir memory, by opening a subscriptions from those dis posed, to aid in such an enterprise, and empower.

We yesterday related the dreadful burning of a negress named Ellen Holme, in her room on the alley between Fifth and Sixth and Green and Morgan streets. She died of her burns at three o'clock yesterday morning Coroner Beisliniere was summoned to hold an inquest, and by a protracted investigation the following facts were elicited. Deceased was aged about fifty year and was formerly a slave belonging to the Kin nerby estate, bnt was freed several years since Her husband deserted her five years ago. For tbe past two or three years she lived with a plasterer named Levi Dust, but he was usually absent during the day time. She wts sober and industrious, was never seen intoxicated, and was deemed in most respects an unusually discreet woman for her station.

She labored assiduously at washing and ironing for gentlemen. At abont four o'clock Wednesday afternoon a man with a Quantity of newiy washed and iron ed in his hands, was Been rushing from her house in which screams were at the same time heard, and she was soon discovered enveloped in his impetuous flight the running man came into collision with a woman, knocking her down. Several persons saw bim aa he ran. When tbe flames were extinguished, Dr. Thomas Kennard, who opportunely was passing, volun teered to dress her wounds.

To him, and to others, she said that while she was engaged at her worK a man came softly in, and unobserved by her, set fire to her clothes, seized the shirts upon the line, and then ran away I (This horrible story was told us Wednesday evening, bnt we deemed it qnite inpi edible.) As very little fire was in the stove, and no liquor was in the house, and as the woman was habitually sober, her statement, corroborated by tbe other tesu mony, must be accepted as true. Six shirts were the booty for which thiB awful crime was perpe trated Jttvsoun JJemocrat, Seduction and Desertion bv a Clergyman. The Peoria (III.) Iranscript says The ease of the Bev.

It appeared at the trial that in tbe beginning of June, 1857, the individual last mentioned loft the oity in company with a relative, for the ostensible purpose of visiting some friends at Rota's Grove, in the northern part of the State, ana alter remaining some days in mat vloini tv.

in order to find some place where they miebt be better able to eonceal what was to happen, they went to Mendota, where they procured boarding ac a private house, in which, after a sojourn of two weeks. the victim of misplaced confidence gave birth to an llligitimate child, enoifiy alter tnis event jur. mover visited her at a late hour of thoniffht. remained but a few minutes, "and left Chioago in tbe same train in which Bhe came. Two weeks afterwards be again visited her in seclusion, reoeived the child from the hands of tbe relative of its mother, and again departed, since which time its whereabouts to all except himself has been unknown.

Every means his power was made use of by this reverend gentleman, to conoeal all these transaction', and" especially his own con nection His vieiis were made under cover of the shadow of midnight; his correspondence was earried on under fictitious names when exoediu" was necessary, the telegraph made to do its work, and inn did 8 to be rumored about the city that such things ZZ taken place, his victim was brought baok to foretall public bplS'iCS thereto. Whenthe matter came before the Church Court for investigation, he endeavored to thwart action, attempting to procure the non attendance of the moat material witnesses against him and when finally, the weight of evidence left him no hope of exculpating himself, ho abruptly and contumaciously declined baying anything further to do with the Court before whioh he had been cited for trial" Evidences of other instances' of improper conduct on his ban, but not of so criminal a nature, was also adduced on trial.

He put his head out of the door and asked one of the bearers how many palkess there were. The reply was, "There are two, three or even fonr, if snch be your lordship'B pleasure." Another story is told of one of tho Lieutenant Governor's of Agra, who took much interest in native schools. One day he was examining a remarkably clever protege before some friends. After several other questions he asked boy, "What the earth go round the sun! and was tola, "ihe earth revolves Dy tne favor of your highness." Police.

The subject selected was "Benjamin Franklin and the character of the great philosopher and Bage was ably ditonssed by the Rov. lecturer. He gave a skejoh of his life, the details of whioh are familiar to all.

Without the brilliancy of genius he had. none of its eccentricities. Ho was essentially a matter of fact man, his knowledge was practicalund: useful, llis manners were simple yet musea witn dignity of bearing, bt conscious but unpretending ability. In his habits and tastes he was frugal and; temperate, falling into no exoesses, avoiding all the temptations whioh beset youth, and carrying this simplicity with him through all his greatness When tne rupture Doiween tug uoiuuiet aiiu uia mother country began, Franklin took a prominent part in the counsels and deliberations of the leading statesmen of the day.

A Sublime Pebobation. The closing paisago of Prof. Mitohel's lecture on Tuesday evening, was de livered with thrilling effeot.

After speaking of the unfathomable distances which no telescope can pent" trate. lvinc far beyond the system in which the earth revolves, and yet filled with independent systems of worldi of infinite numbers, he said light traverses space at the rate of a million miles a minute, yet the light from the nearest star requires ten years to reach the earth, and Herchel's telescope revealed stars two thousand throe hundred times further distant. The great telescope of Lord Ross pursued these creations of God still deeper into pace and havine resolved the nebula? of tho Milky Way into BtarB, discovered other Byatema of stars beautiful diamond points glittering through the black darkness beyond. "When he beheld this amazing abjBa when he saw these BjBtems scattered pro fusely tnrougnouii space wuen xi itutuieu ujjvu their immense distance, their enormous magnitude, and the countless millions of worlds that belonged to them, it seemed.to Uim as tnongn ma wuu aream oi the German poot waa moro than realised. 'God called man in dreams into the vestibule of heaven, Baying, 'come up hither and I will show thee the beauty of my Aud to his angels who stood around his throne he Bain, 'take him, atrip him of hia robes of flesh cleanse his affections Eut a new breath into his nostrils but tonch not his uman heart' the heart that fears and hopes and trembles.

A moment, and it was done, and the man Oi00d hi nukowo vovBGte. Under the guidance of a mighty angel, with sounds of flying pinions, they oped away from the battlements of heaven. Some time on the mighty angel's wings they fled through Saharas of darkness, wildernesses of death. At length, from a distance not counted save in the arithmetic of light beamed upon them a sleepy flame as seen through a hazy cloud. They sped on in their terrible speed to meet the light the light with lesser speed came to meet them.

In a moment the blazing of suns around them, moment the wheeling of planets then came long eternities of twilight then again on the right hand and the left appeared more constellations. At last the map Bank down, crying, 'Angel, I oan go no further let me lie down in tbe grave, and hide myself from the infinitude of the universe, for end there is 'Ead is there none.7' demanded the angel. And from the glittering Btars that shonearound there came a choral shout, 'End there is none 'End is there none demanded the angel again 'and is it this that awos tby soul 1 I answer, end there is none to the universe of God I Lo, also, there is no beginning." LoTTiaiis in Delawabs. The legislature of Delaware finds tbe temptation of $750,000 for State improvements, as provided for in the new lottery bill, too strong for its virtue and there seems liitle doubt that the bill will pass both its branches, notwithstanding the opposition manifested by the people of tbe State. The Wilmington (Del,) Journal say "By the advices from Dover, it will ba seen that the Lottery bill bas passed the lower House of the Legislature, in the face of numerously signed petitions from all parts of our State, and thi unmistakable voice of public opinion as expressed through the public Press to tbe contrary.

It had been hoped that in this enlightened age, our legislatures would have found the responsibility resting upon tbem to protect our citizens from tbe re enactment of a lottery grant, whose tendency will be to foster and pro ect a species of vice and immorality in our State, which will be a matter of deep concern to the public. While all the other states in the Union are adoptins the most stringent measures to rid themselves oi ireat evl1 flowing from Lotteries, Delaware Is made the wberetals system of gambling is to be carried on. this bill pass the Senate and there is but littlo reason to hope it will be different it will cast a blot upon the fair fame of the state, ihe good that is sought to be accomplished by means of tbe bonus of $750,000, the base bribe offered for this enactment, will not be a tithe towards satisfaction for the despicable surrender of State honor which we have made. We are not only legalizing a vile species of gambling within our borders, but its evil consequences will bp seen and felt in every part of onr Union. Tickets will be found in tbe market, everi where the statutes against their sale contain the severest penalties, and thus ws become privy in aiding unprincipled men in violating tbe laws of other 8tates.

What position, unier such circumstances, will we occupy in the opinion of the citizens of other States? Will it not have a tendency to demean us, and must not the reputation of our good Commonwealth suffer materially thereby'! Oar moral standing is worth more to us than all th wealth which will accrue from tbe grant, and every Delawarian who loves the land that gave him birth, should have scorned to vote for such an abominable act." Shocking Catastrophe. A few mornings since, a strolling man named Tucker, His wife and two children, were found frozen to death in a barn in North CaBtle, Westchester county. The unfortunate pair were abroad tbe day previous, asking alms, and It is supposed that thoy not having enough money to purchase a night's lodging, and being chilled, weary and homeless, gone into the barn for a shelter from tho inclemency of the weather, with the intention of remiining there during tbe night, taking their children with were all frozen to death. An inquest was held upon the bodies, when tbe jury brought in their verdict that the deceased came to tbeir deaths from exposure. A Lady Deowned while Caosanra the Ioe Mrs.

'Chambers, a lady residing at Cold Springs, was drowned on Sunday while crossing the ice at that villagd. She wa? in company upon the loo with several others, when it gave way be them. They all escaped excapt tbe unfortunate lady, who went under tho ice before any assistance cohld be rendered her, and perished. The rest had a very narrow eecape from sharing the same fate. Up to the last accounts the body jA njattwwJound.

will soon be seen on door posts, and Bmau parties of ladiee, for the dear creatures generally hunt in couples, may be seen travelling the streets every fine day for three months with their organs of vision elevated to a range of the par. lor floors, with countenances bespeaking inquir ing minds. House hunting, as this cherisneo. institution of our restless nature, Degins after the first of February, though it does not set in virulently until March. You who have comfortable homes, or even tolerable accommc datious, at anything like reasonable ront, consi der long before you allow the landlord to put up one of those little black and white invitations to all the Mrs.

Paul Prys to walk in and inspect your domestio arrangements, to invade the sanctity of your hearth, and inform the world at large that your parlor carpet is only three ply. Moving is bad enough when necessity compels it, but moving for the mere love of change, can be regarded only as a species of insanity. Yet how many do move every year for no other reason. Of course it is not advisable to stand any nonsense from the landlord, to submit to have the rent doubled, to endure a leaky cistern or smoky chimneys, or to continue a disputed possession of the premises with a legion of rats and cockroaches, who not only live rent free, but board at our expense. In the course of human events, it may become advisable to move, more ex pedient to fly from ills we have and risk otheiB uncalculable in the shape of careless carmen and the untried conveniences of a new house such a case is entitled 'to sympathy, but don't move if you can reasonably help it.

In putting up bills much trouble might be saved if they were more explicit in the description of the house, the number of rooms, whether gas and water pipes are put in, the amount of the rent, which is not generally the case. House seeking is a disagreeable business, except to idle curious and scandal loving women, who ought to be foiled in their propensity by every conceiv able means, and half the nuisance would be abated. We learn that the bill providing for the remo val of the Long Island Railroad from Brooklyn has been so amended as to satisfy most of those who were opposed to it. We trust this may be so. Bnt we can assure the advocates of that bil1 that it can find little favor here except with those who are to make money by it, bo loDg as it offers to the people of Long Island a bounty for their trade in behalf of New York, and imposes a tariff upon their trade with Brooklyn.

We stated some time ago, that in our opinion the continuanc of the road in Atlantic street in flicted no injustice upon the people there. They located there with a full knowledge of the exis tence of the nuisance, if such it be. But we can readily see that the removal of the road, as pro posed, would inflict an injury on this city which cannot he repaired. We trust the bill will never be reported by the Committee until full and ample protection is af forded to the intereDta of Brooklyn. SUCH auill would meet with a general approval but any act or measure on the part of the Committee of the legislature which ignores our interests, will meet, as it deserves to meet, a firm resistance.

Let us see the amendments. Sculouque, the Emperor of Hayti, affects to despise the recent outbreak against his rule. He is hated, however, for his tyranny, and if it were not for his troops he would have been deposed long ago, so strong is the popular feeliDg against him. Geffard, the leader of the revolutionists, spoken of as a man of irreproachable character and of popular sympathies. A change of rulers can effct bnt little change in the people.

They are indolent and unenterprising. The export trade, which sixty years ago amounted to two hundred millions francs, now amounts to less than four millions. The Hebaid and the Son. Since the Herald has lost the Post Office advertising, to which it never had a legitimate title, it is falling so rapidly into obscurity that Bennett has "caBt an anchor to windward" by writing for the Ledger, and his productions exceed anything ever penned since the poetical shoemaker who warbled forth "Aid me all ye gentle muses While I mend my boots and shoeses I And as the breezes blow through the troesed, Fragrant with the scents of roses, I shall nail the heels and toeges." Bennett's lines to Mary A.nn are just aa poor and not half as ingenious as the verses of the obbler. Poor Mary Ann.

The Tribune is dissatisfied with the ay we invent or select namep for new Territories. Colons, the name first proposed for the new Gold Territory this side of the Rocky Moun tains, it thinks, was insipid and unmeaning; but TohoBa, which has been adopted instead by the House Committee on Territories, is immeasurably worse weak as the dogs that have to lean against the fence to bark, or the water that isn't able to run down hill. The Tribune thinks Fremonta would be a good namer or if that don't suit, Bentona is suggested. Why not call it Dona or Greeleyanaf The Tribune is too modest. We are indebted to the Hon.

Messri. Gardner Wilson and Andrus, of the Assembly, for publio documents, for which they will please to accept our thanks. A Mr. Drummond, one of the English literati, in a review of Mr. John Bright's speech on a reform of the EDglish Constitution, said: "You conolude with a long panegyric upon America, and ask why, since we import cotton from America and wine from France, we should not import constitutions also 1 It cannot be the English.

Constitution that you want to import because it is here already, and was here many centuries before we sent out of Newgate to America their first Adam and Eve." More I'unibhhent for New York The "Republicans" of tho State will never satisfy their vengeance in punishing New York city for refdBine to go for Seward and "nigger freedom." Now the officeB of County Clerk, Sheriff and Corporation Ujunsol are to be overhauled and the salaries cut down. Wo understand a certain organization called the Citizens' Association ate circulating a petition to the above effect. No offices used by "Republicans" are to be touohed, and no other part of tho State aorved in the same way. Our do nothing Polios Commissioners, and our exorbitant Health Offioor are nottobs touched.

Thb Dktboit Elopbmemt Tui Bhide and thk Honetmoon. The Detroit Press has an ac count of tbe manner in which Miss Jndson, wbo eloped with a negro, spent the time among her new friends. It says "Tho style of living which the young woman was introduced to on the first day of the honey moon is worth noticing. Her sable lover, in pursuance cf an intention to set up housekeeping, bought some dishes and old fnrmtnre. and the two moved into a board shanty in the back part of Windsor.

This was in the negro quarter, which it iB needless to comprises several quarters of the whole town, and was surrounded by about fifty more negro shanties. The occu pants of these, quite teken by surprise, turned out in mass, and the bridal calls of tho yonng wife consisted of an indiscriminate rush of darkies of all ages, sexes, colors and varieties. The only room she bad was fllled.with these odorous visitors from morning till night, who gazed at ber with open mouths, whlld little ebonies climbed on the roof, peeped in the windows, and stole her corn bread. 'It is estimated by competent 'Windsor authorities that she received a thousand calls tbe first day. How she got through with her receptions is unknown, but considering the fact that she bad been brought up in decency, it is natural to suppose that her stomach must have rebelled occasionally, notwithstanding the inculcations of ber father, who believed them good enough for her until they actually got her.

Consul HarrU and The tnlue of having the right man in the right place was never more forcibly illustrated than in the case of the American Consul in Japan. In proportion to the delicacy and difficulty ol the task seemed to he the tact and ability which he brought to Its accomplishment. The Philadelphia Ledger refers to the obstacles which he had to encounter in the character of the people. Polite, highly civilised, suspicious of strangers from the misconduct of the first missionaries, it was not an easy matter except by force of arms to open any sort of intercourse with them. They had had the art of printing since the thirteenth century.

Their manufactures would compare with the Chinese. Our Japan ware received its name and the very idea came from them. They have many arts such as that of dwarfing trees, oanied to a degree of perfection in which we are very far behind. He finement and perfection in littU things is the characteristic of their civilization, just as enlargement of mind, boldness of conception and combinations are the characteristics of ours. It is clear, therefore, that we are each capable of doing the other good, and that commerce will not only lead us to an interchange of products, but of ideas of greater value, both pecuniarily and in every other point of view, than can very Boon be estimated.

In China we can boast that, without the cost without the bloodshed, and therefore, without he implacable hatred excited by the English and French expeditions, we have secured all the same advantages. But in Japan the United States have effected more than this. We have led the way. Lord Elgin and the London Times fully admit the valuable services of Townsend Harris, in this matter, not only to his own nation bat to all Europe. His own simple narrative, now published from private letters, places in a clearer light than before both the ex tent or the advantages gained, and the manner in which he obtained them.

It was with the Japanese officials a settled principle of diplomacy to get from Mr. Harris his letter from the President with as little con. cern as possible, and to an officer of a rank as low as could be managed. Mr. Harris resolved that be would give up his letter to none but the Emperor himself, and, after a month of negotiation, be carried his point.

This had many good effect, for, as the Emperor could not condescend to see any one in rank lower than a prince, they had lo make a prince of Sir. Harris, and conduct him in that sort of atate to the capital. The princes, however, would not eat with him as an equal, so he would eat in the palace. His plan was to be very cautious how he took any position or committed himself on any point, buti having taken his ground, never to be driven from it; bnt by inflexible obstinacy, with great good temper, to wear out all opposition. By simple methods such as these, he soon saw all thoir weak points, without exhibiting any himself, and gained the ear and confidence of the highest officials.

A fever even proved advantageous, interestitg the Emperor in him. In repeated visits to the capital he unfolded our principles of free trade, and freedom of religious toleration. All of these were aryued over again and again, but with so much effect that, without threats or force, by the simple power of truths, well and clearly stated, he induced the govern merit to sign a treaty, granting full liberty of conscience, and throwing open its commerce, in fact, undoing all that jealous and exclusive poll' cy which had been so tenaciously persevered in for two hundred and seventy years. Nearly the whole of this has been the work of one man, Townsend Harris. The Health Officeb'b Rkpobt.

We have received a copy of the Health Officer's Beport which has been printed in pamphlet form Ly or! der of the Common Council. The Report is writ ten in a clear and forcible style, gives a tabular statement of the mortality of the past year, a very interesting history of the yellow fever cases and the small pox ravages, with useful suggestions in reference to the practical operation of the health ordinances. We observe that a local co temporary accuses Br. Boyd of quoting observa' of his predecessor in office. As the quota tions bnt one brief reference to privy vaults," and as the Dr.

acknowledges the fact both in the introduction to the Beport and at its conclusion, the charge of plagiarism is ridiou lous. Be has been unnecessarily scrupulous in the matter, and we would ask hia critic if news papers were as particular, how many of their leaded articles would dwindle down into small type Abb Republics Grateful It is often complained that KspublicB are ungrateful. To great men they may be, but to great women they outdo royalty in tbeir appreciation of services rendered. A Mrs. Jones of Trevor, in Wales, presented her husband with three pledges of her affection, and the Queen with three subjects at one birth whereupon her Majesty graciously lies to wed three pounds sterling on the prolific Mrs.

Jones. As a republican counterpart to this, wo learn that Mrs. Rogers of Titibawassee, Mil cbigan, made an addition of four to the popula ion of that State at one time.

EIEiLISG A SUIT OF CLOTHES, Mary Smith was placed on trial on a charge of grand larceny, iu stealing a suit of men's clothes. It appears that she was a servant in a family and sold the eult to tbe master of the house for a small consideration so small as to be an Inducement for him to buy.

The wife of the latter testified tbat her husband bad bought them from their servant, and tne case, which was before tbe Justice, was dismissed.
