Review of t 



Week. 



Rbpobb seems to bo the feature Bt Washington 

 at the present time— were it not for the little affair 

 with Paraguay, now on hand, we would not hear 

 a word from the " city of magnificent distances.'' 

 The latest by telegraph, informs us that Judge 

 Bowlin, the Paraguay Commissioner, had a long 

 interview with the President and Secretaries Cabb 

 and ToiTBT, Ills instructions ore said to be 

 deemed ample: 1st. apology for the indignity 

 offered to our flag; !2d. full indemnity to the Booth 

 American Navigation Company; and third, a rati- 

 fication of the treaty formerly negotiated by Messrs. 

 Pendleton and Souenck. I'pon refusal to comply 

 with either, the Commodore will enforce them.— 

 To assist the Commodore in so doing, we learn the 

 following concerning some of the olds and ( 

 ants in such a course: Tbe steamers Fulton and 

 Water Witch, forming part of the expedilii 

 Paraguay, ore now ready for sea. Guns of heavy 

 calibre have been selected. The armament of the 

 Polton is one 11 inch shell gun on a pivot, and . .__ 

 B inch in broadside, and that of tbe Water Witch 

 one 9-tncb shell gun on a pivot The [-'niton 

 carry two boat howitzer*, end the Water Witch 

 three, one of which is o heavy il pounder, mounted 

 on a pivot on the forecaatte. 



The treaty made with the Chinese, by our MinL 

 ter, Mr. Raxn, Washington papers say, "Is liberal 

 in spirit— similar to that entered intent ith F 

 and England." 



Tbe island of St Domingo is in a particularly 

 unsettled condition at tbe present time. Sm- 

 Anna is "bobbing around'' with the same result* 

 oa when a resident of Mexico. Dotes of the ah 

 inst, giving some additional particulars of the 

 revolution there, have been received. Santa Ann* 

 marched into Santiago on the 1st of September 

 and took possession of the fort, which had been 

 abandoned by the troops of Valvoide. who, to- 

 gether with the Collector of the port and several 

 other* had fled to Monte Chrlato, where they 

 would embark for Turk's Island. There wu no 

 responsible government; the principal stores had 

 clo«d : paper money was worthless, and none 

 knew how to sell or buy, or what the next political 



appears to have bjen taken by eorprise in the tuc- 

 cessful laying of the long wire, and to have omit- 

 ted provision for a stronger strand required at 

 either terminus, to save the line from tbe daogere 

 of ahallow water. This heavy cab'e was only 

 shipped from London, under the charge of Mr. 

 ^liffobp. oa the first of this month. His inrtruc- 

 ions were to nuke tbe aobctitation at the Yalentia 

 nd forthwith, and then proceed to Trinity Bay— 

 i task requiring at least three or fonr weeks in tbe 

 fulfiUment The London morning papers of Sept 

 nounce accordingly, that at the end of three 

 weeks tbe line would be ready for public use, and 

 tie London celebration would be reserved for 

 that occasion. 



Tds yellow fever is Btil! continuing its dreadful 

 work in New Orleans. A correspondent of the St 

 n elates that it is growing worse. 

 d contrary to all known laws controlling its 

 action, it is selecting its victims from among the 

 native and to tbe manor born." Creoles who 

 have never absented themselves from the city 

 during their lives, are not exempt, and with them 

 re the fever is to die. Doctors differ as to the 

 mode of treating the disease, and when that is the 

 the patient bas but a slim chance indeed. — 

 The steamboat men have, so far, been exempt from 

 this terrible scourge, although more exposed than 

 any other class of men, I have yet to learn of a 

 death from yellow fever from amoDg their number 

 leason, but among tho shipping and ship- 

 masters, it has been terribly fatal, quite decimating 

 their Dumber. Taking the number of people in 

 the city now, and the year '53, the mortality for 

 this year is fully 25 per cent, greater than it was in 

 that dread season, from the effects of which the 

 i not yet fully recovered. 



Fatal Acctobmt at tbe Ohio St ate Fair.- The 

 Ottawa OastiU, in an account of the Ohio State 

 Fair, gives the following account of a fearful luci 

 itt ended with fatal results, which occurred on 

 scond day of the Exhibition:— "Everything 

 passed off very pleasantly and satisfactorily on 

 Wednesday till about 2 o'clock P. M-, when there 

 quite a stampede created among the thousands 

 surrounding the ring witnessing the trotting stock, 

 beautiful black horse became frightened, threw 

 i driver from the sulky, dashed several times 

 around the ring at full speed, and finally made a 

 wild leap from tbe ring into the mosses of human 

 beings surrounding it, with a portion of the sulky 

 attached, and was brought up by rushing under a 

 shed cloae by, where he trampled nnder foot men 

 a and children. One old gentleman by tbe 

 of Berry, from CflBtalia, was so badly injured, 

 36 expired in about two hoars. Also, one 

 child about three years old was so injured, as to 

 produce death tbe same evening. Several ethers, 

 ind women, were more or lees hart, but not 

 fatally." 



* Railroad Obstruct the Highways?— 

 This question has just been decided In the nega- 

 by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. In 

 case of Patrick Kelley vs. the Pennsylvania 

 Railway Compare It «■"»■ A-oia-.* iu»v ino Railway 

 Company was liable for damages arising froi 

 obstruction of a public highway at a "croa 

 by their locomotive?, cars, etc. In this ins 

 the plaintiff bad sent his sod, a boy nine years of 

 age, to town for tobacco. On reaching the 

 pike he attempted to CrttJS undrr the drftndanti 

 uhieh had just arrivtd, and were standing acrosi 

 The train started, and his leg was caught ii 

 wheel, and so badly Injared as to render amputa- 

 tion necessary. The jury found, by their verdict, 

 that the defendants wore obstructing tbe crossing, 

 and gave for plaintiff $3,000 damages.

Convention of Deaf Motes.— A most nove 

 gathering assembled at Worcester, Mass., on tbe 

 8th inst, and one which proved to be of a very in- 

 teresting character. It was a Convention of the 

 Deaf Mutes of New England, known as the New 

 England Gallaudet Association of Deaf Mutes.— 

 There was a large number present, tbe Deaf MuteB 

 numbering between one and two hundred dele- 

 gates, besides a large number of citizens of Wor- 

 cester, who attended from curiosity. An oration 

 was delivered in the sign language, by J. P. Marsh, 

 of Roxbury. Bis Bubjectwas the life and labors 

 of Thomas Gallaudet, founder of the Deaf Mute 

 Asylum at Hartford. This address was very fluent- 

 ly delivered, and appeared to be well understood 

 by tbe audience. Laurent Clerc, of Hartford, one 

 of Gallaudet'a associates, and the oldest teacher of 

 deaf mutes in the country, and several other.*, 

 made addresses. 



From New Mexico.— A despatch from Inde- 

 pendence 12th, says the New Mexican mails, dated 

 23d ult, had arrived. Capt McLean, who left 

 Santa Fe on the 20tb, reports that there was no 

 doubt that a battle had been fought between the 

 "oniKiaDd of Major Brooksand the Navajo Indians. 

 The Indians have hitherto declared mat mey would 

 not light, and in ease of refusal to give up the 

 murderer of Mej. Brook's negro, lie intended burn- 

 ing and destroying their wheat and corn field?, 

 which, if done, would doubtless cause a collision 

 between them and the troops. Tbe Indians have 

 offered Msj. Brooks several thousand sheep, and 

 1,000 ponies, to indemnify him for the Iobs of his 

 negro. The Santa Fe Gazette, in a long article a 

 tempts to justify the Indiana and their conduct

A Devibb fob the Bbnepit of a Man's Soi 

 Voin fob Uncertainty.— The testator left a por- 

 tion of his estate to be equally divided between hie 

 two tons. In case either of his sons died without 

 issue, one-half of his portion was to revert to his 

 brother, and the other half to the Roman Catholic 

 Church for the benefit of the testator's soul. One 

 of the sons died without leaving any children, and 

 tho other claims the whole portion of his deceased 

 brother. Arch bishop Hughes and the trustees of 

 St Peter's Church, New York, claim the devise 

 either for St Peter's Church, as the church which 

 the testator attended during his life time, or for the 

 benefit of oil the Roman Catholic churches of this 

 diocese. Judge Ingraham held that the devise 

 was void for uncertainty, and that the living son 

 and hefr -at-law was entitled to the whole of the dis- 

 puted property.

 ple generally, by commissioning on exploring
