A carriage-builder at Concord, N. H., has

In Palermo, Sicily, the police arc paid from 

 week to week only one-half of their wages. The 

 other half is kept as a reserved fund, out of which 

 all parties suffering loss by theft, burglary aud 

 similar crimes, which it is the duty of the police to 

 preTcnt, arc indemnified. There is a settlement at 

 the end of every six months, and the surplus is 

 divided among the policemen who are thus made to 

 suffer a loss of wages by every failure to perform 

 their duty. The system works admirably.

!icklbs' Thial.— The trial of Dasibl E. 

 for tbe murder of Philip Barton K«r — 

 the facts of which are well known and to which 'we 

 ave sufficiently adverted,— commenced at Wash 

 igton, on Monday, the 4th iost. Tbe prosecution 

 conducted by the V. S. District Attorney for the 

 islrict, (Mr. Ould, successor to the murdered man.) 

 isisted by Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Sieklcs has an able 

 ray of counsel to conduct his defence, numbering 

 ten of the best lawyers of the country. They are 

 James T. Brady and John Graham, Esq.™., of New 

 York ; E. P. Stanton of Pittsburgh ; Samuel Chil- 

 ton and Daniel RatclilT of Washington, and others. 

 The impaneling of a jury occupied three days, 

 about one hundred and eighty talesman being ex- 

 isted in the operation. Among tho rejected, the 

 great proporlion had formed and expressed opin- 

 able to the accused. The prosecution 

 closed on Saturday, 9th inst, and the general im- 

 :ems to be that tbe government have a 

 very weak case. Three days were spent in prov- 

 ing what the defence did not deny — the killing— 

 not a single flint calculated to aid or strengthen this 

 position was brought forward. Concerning the 

 line of the defence we are not prepared to speak, 

 but it is more than probable that the provocation, 

 and a temporary insanity— caused by observing 

 ihe destroyer of bis peace giving bis accustomed 

 ignols— will be the strong pUa o/ th* dt/tntt. 



Fnoii Utah.— The War Department has advices 

 from Utah tothe 1st ult. Mormonismis represent

Spain.— In the Chumber of Deputies, a call hav- 

 iog been made for tbe production of tbe papers 

 relative lo the negotiations between tbe United 

 States aDd France and England, for the acquisition 

 of Cuba by America, the Minister of Foreign Affairs 

 replied thatiome Deputies bad expressed a desire 

 to see tbe administration of Cuba improved, and 

 the President of the United States expressed the 

 same wish. The opinion of the President was that 

 Spain did not administer the government of Cuba 

 well, and that the United States, on account of their 



igberintelligence.bad a moral duty to fulfil, which 



as to purchase the Island. 



Cuba to remain uncontradicted. AHGorernments 

 had labored to improve the condition of tbat Island 

 and the present Cabinet had certainly been occu- 

 pied with measures calculated lo give tbc inhabi- 

 ts of that Island the share they ought to possess 

 .u their internal administration, without compro- 

 mising the ties that unite them to the mother 

 country. The best reply to the representation t ,f 

 certain orators of the United States, was the pros- 

 perity of the Island of Cuba. That the question ot 

 the acquisition of the Islaud was imposing and 

 menacing, could not be denied, nevertheless, the 

 Government declared that it felt all the security 

 which its great national resources were calculated 

 to inspire. It had not, however, rendered insult 

 Tor insult, and that would probably have aggravat 

 cd the question. It had conducted Itself with 

 prudence and dignity, and had not applied for as- 

 sistance to any other power. If « n y other foreign 

 power had offered assistance, the Government 

 would have felt groteful, but it would not have ac- 

 cepted it, because it did not Ihink any aid was nec- 

 essary, as no diplomatic documents existed on the 

 luestion, winch happily was almost terminated.

the Lower Mississippi is doing great damage below 

 Memphis. Dcspntebes from New Orleans report a 

 serious break at Diamond Island, flooding many 

 plantations, and damaging private property. Seri- 

 ous apprehensions are entertained that a break will 

 occur above the city, and a force of 600 men have 

 been employed to strengthen tbe levee. The river 

 is still rising rapidly, though already nine inches 

 higher than last year. The 7Vm*l and Dtlta say 

 that the flood is constantly increasing, and 

 unless the river falls soon, tbe whole town wiU be 

 disastrously inundated. The city of Cairo is be 

 coming rapidly inundated by tho percolal 

 water through the levees. A large portion of the 

 icarly half— is BOW covered wiihwater.s 

 to the depth of seven feet. At latest _. 

 the water had gained the basement ttory of
