The new Governor General was daily expect¬ 
ed with 5,000 troops from Spain. The military 
were reviewed by the Gov. General and disband¬ 
ed on the 23d. Much indignation was e.xcited by 
the ungracious manner in which their arms were 
required of them. A large portion of muskets 
were in consequence returned to the armory unfit 
for use, having been dipped in salt water and in¬ 
jured by various other means, and cockades which 
once adorned the Hombresas of citizen soldiers, 
were appended to the tails of dogs and otherwise 
contemptuously treated. 
It is said that upwards of $2,000,000 per an¬ 
num was to be raised for the support of additional 
troops aud other expenses of the army.

and whites took place during the night, on 7th 
and Lombard streets, and terminated in a white

mutilated by the blacks. He died whilst being ]

accompanying him were fired on by the blacks.

ton, Ky., on Wednesday night, where he was en¬ 
thusiastically received. 
Meteoric Phenomena. —On Monday last, at 
a little before 9 o’clock, P.M., being on the Hud¬ 
son River, two or three miles south of Albany, 
the writer saw iu the east a ^ery large and very 
brilliant meteor, which seemed to dart from a 
point some 12 or 15 degrees south of, and (per¬ 
haps) 5 or 6 degrees below, the constellation Ple¬ 
iades, and whicli, after running southwardly 10 
or 12 degrees, disappeared. The track of the 
meteor continued now peifectly distinct as a lu¬ 
minous line during at least five minutes ; it then 
grew broader, shorter and somewhat fainter ; 
again, after a few minutes, lengthened and widen¬ 
ed, and then appeared to melt into, or, in fact, to 
be simply a portion of an Aurora, which the 
writer now first observed, and which extended, 
in a band of 60 or 70 degrees iu width, far down 
along the eastern horizon. 
Two things seem to me to render this meteor 
remarkable : fiist, the persistence of its luminous 
track ; next, the (apparent) identity of this track 
with the Aurorel light. J. H. Young. 
New York, 2nd Oct., 1850. 
The Kingston Courier says that Ulster must be 
added to the long list of counties devastated by 
the recurring potatoe rot. It is note-worthy that 
in the low land fields the crop is completely de¬ 
stroyed, while the upland is as yet generally safe. 
The thrifty maxim of the wary Dutch, is to save 
all the money they can touch. 
A learned bloekhead is a greater blockhead than 
an ignorant one. 
A bridge is being erected across the Mohawk
