DCF On Sunday, as the half past three o'clock Pontchartrain Railroad cars were coming to town, a black man was leading a cart loaded with wood on tbe rail-way, and having occasion to speak to a friend left it there. He soen heard the whistling of the engine, but before he had time to lead off his horse, It struck his carton the back knocking cart, horse and man in different directions, without seriously injuring any one, and continued its course as if nothing had happened, having thereby added a new laurel to its crown, of no-throwing-ofT-the-rail-cars-frora-the-track. No blame could be attached to the engineer, as he did all he could to stop the cars. -The officers the steamer Telegraphf from St. Louis, did the decent thing last evening, by sending us St.

Louis papers. Burixd Autje Almost, wot quite. A scene strange as any founded on fiction occurred in' this city on Sunday last. We will give it in the words of the gentleman who fur- nished us with the fact. His veracity and its may be relied on.

It appears that a young, Spaniard was lying in the last stages of yellow fever, next door to the printing office of Mr. in Chartres street- The physician, Dr. was sent for, but before his arrival, the young man had ceased to live, according to the opinions of those iu the bouse, so that when he arrived he found his patient covered with a white linen, and reported as dead. That very evening, they washed ajjd cleansed the man, and having put on his burial dress, they laid him on his bed until the morning. In the morning a coffin was got, and all the necessary preparations were made.

He was then taken and put in his coffin, but no sooner was he dropped in it than he jumped up and asked where they were going to place him. They then conducted him in a. carriage to a colored nurse-woraan's 'He is yet very sick, but may perhaps live. It appears that he wag in a gtgte of lethargy.

The Sentinel of tho 2d inst. says We do not wish oar very polite ana accommodating sexton and uuder- takers any harm, but we advise all those citi- zens and strangers, who have no pressing business in town, to clear out as fast as they can; and those who' left, heretofore, may' just as well stay away until somebody invites them back. We don't think the disease is. about to quit us.

It has increased and diminished three or four times, but we have seen no evidence yet of any permanent We regret lo learn that Mr. J. K.

T.At the same port, same dale, tbe thip' Madagascar fer tbe cpast of pmatrawas repairing, We notice elsewhere the loss of fhe barque Florida, near New York, together with her valuable cargo; A passenger on boardnamed Mr. Bush, furnished the editor of the New York Star and Times with the following later news from China. The Florida left Canton on thu 17th May, and Macao on the Since, tbe news from Canton by the Eben Preble, nothing very remarkable has happened, though much was in preparation. Capt. Elliot Jias, however, since May 1st, had "an interview with the Kwan Chow Fou.ahigh Mandarin, who was desirous that CapU Elliot should 'give up the Forts.

I Captain Elliot replied, that on the payment of $22,000,000 he would deliver them up. The Kwan Chow Fou, surprised at such terms, rc: plied that the Emperor would never make such a treaty, and that they mast fight. It will be recollected that Captain Elliot's first demand was $6,000,000, which has now been increased to $22,000,000. Several British vessels of war were eff the Factories, and Capt. Herbert, commanding the advanced squadron, had orders, in case of any signs of hostility on lhe part of the Chinese, to bombard the city, and not ceastj till it was reduced to ashes.

He was to anurd, at the same time, all necessary protection to foreigners there. Too urrA liicrh nnrl cnn. am: onlv to be purchased by dollars. No sales o( imports of any description, the fJhmese leeung very sanguine of renewed hostilities. The Mandarins fill not allow teas to come in.

U3t as the Florida was leaving Macao, news was received of in outbreak iu Canton; the rumor being that the Chinese had commenced hostilities. The Florida passed Cant. Elliot in the steamer Nemesis, on the 18th, bound to Canton. A part of the British fleet was to leave Hong Kong, May 25, for.

MISTAKING THE SHADOW FOR THE SOB- stance. A sign for a restaurut, on which were painied, with accurate fidelity, a leg of mutton, piece of roasting pork, a plucked lurkey, and several other substantial emblematic of a well- stored culinary, lay outside of Mr. Scanlan's door, in Chartres street, vesterday, labeled for sale." It was amusing to see several dogs of different species, from Mungrcl, puppy, whelp and hound, To curs of low degree," I that from their lean and hungry appearance seemed to belong to the Canine Aini-eat-enougjb Association it was amusing', we 'say, to see them come stealthily along, and when they got opposite to what they believed to be a leg of mutton, a fat turkey, or a piece of beef, make a chop at one or another of them with such force that the very concussion of their teeth could be heard by the passers-by. We saw one big mastiff, with a keen go up and growl out something at his fooled canine friends, the tub ta nee of which Hounded very l'ke this Shadows, mere shadows, you dogs, beneath a mastiffs heeding No Come. Therese Elssler has not arrived in this country, a stated in the papers; that's one thing.

If you go to Natchez, call and see Holton." KJ Several citizens of Vicksburg, who went to the North for wives a few months ago, returned a few day 8 since, and finding the town not what it was cracked up to be, they took a skiff and fled for the swamps of Louisiana, and have not since been heard of. The musquetos will get a feed. So says the Sentinel. An Experimental Trip. An 'experimental trip down the bay of New Yorkj was made on the 23d by the Russian steam frigate, Kamschatka, built there.

She proved to be a sen-ship of the first order, and of great speed. Forty-five miles were run over, and her average (peed was ten miles an hour. Every one on board, including M. Bodisco, the Russian Minister, and the Belgium expressed themselves as highly pleased and satisfied with this, the first big American steam built. More anon.

ship ever The Veto Power. The New York Journal of Commerce says that since the adoption of the Constitution, fifty-four years' since, the veto power has been exercised but fourteen time 8, or about once in every seven hundred acts passed by Congress. It thinks the attempt to abolish or restrict tbe power would prove futile, and shows from the Constitution, that it is necessary, even to propose an amendment, first to obtain the concurrence of two-thirds of both houses of Congress, or a convention! called by Congress on the application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the States. Secondly, the pro. posed amendments must' be ratified by the Legislatures of, or conventionsof three-fourths of the States.

It is not likely, the Journal thinks, that such majorities can ever be obtained for such a purpose. Important to BankersA suit was recently brought in Philadelphia, by Mr. Charles ivuijnugainsi me united States Bank, on a de-posite of $7000, made in June, 1837, for which lis demanded specie. The defence was, that a notice was posted up over the Teller's desk which Mr. K.

saw, that all deposites would be paid funds. This, the Court beluV tbe Bank bad no right to enforce, as the charter of the bank required it to pay.specie for its deposites, and the notice was therefore in direct disobedience of the charter The verdict accordingly was for the plaintiS, for the whole deposit, with 12 percent. 1 00 LOSS OF THI BARQ.UE FLORIDA. FROM AN TON following letter, publishedin the New York papers, Eivee the particulars of this wreck! Short Beach, Little Egg Harbor, 1 September 22, 1841. 5 Mr.

James Bergen Dar Sir I hasten to inform you that the barque Florida, of New Bedford, from Canton, bound to New York, cargo tea, silks, rhubarb and cassia, struck on Brigantine Shoals yesterday, and is a wreck. The captain, crew, dec. were taken off by the schooner Balcn. Captain Cramner, and are now at my house. This morning the vessel is not to be seen her masts are down, and in all probability she has gone to pieces.

I am just sending a vessel out to her, and am going to Brigantine Beach to take charge of what may stranded. The vessel is insured in New Bedford, and the cargo partly in China. 1 have not time to say more. Very respectfully, youra, S. Willets, CommisMioiter of Wreck: The loss will exceed one hundred thousand dollar.

The vessel is insured at New Bedford. Learning and the Lap-Board. A tailor down twn, who devotes the whole of his invaluable time to mending coats and repairing pantaloons, has the following index to his professional pursuits painted on a sign over his doar, Pant-ology performed here, and CVwi-ations carefully adjusted!" Whew What is the refinement of the world coming to The Prince de JToinville. This scion of royalty is now the lion of New York. Though a foreign Prince, he is made the subject of several interesting articles in the newspapers.

He is feasted and flattered by the men looked on with ecsticy and dreamed of with delight by the women. The Broadway dandies endeavor to counterfeit his dress and appearance, but the genuine coin is easily distinguished from the spurious imitation. He is better to the tailors than a thousand copperplate engravings of the late gentlemen's fash-iona, from Paris," and the hair-dressers are making a fortune by the "de Joinville'cut," and the "prince Peruke." He is beset by boarding-school misses and their maiden aunts for his autograph, and pestered by painters for a sitting. Pease, in an advertisement, assures the public that one stick of his candy effectually cured the prince of a-violent cold, and a quack corn doctor assures the people of the United States that he is honored ith the patronage of his royal highness, the Prince de Joinville, and a greasy little sausage-seller in Centre Market, has put up a sign over his stnll, with this inscription Pcrvetor to the Prince de Joisville, And the officers of the Billy Poule. A lover of vertu gave fifty dollars to an apple-seller for the iron plate which fell off the heel of his boot, as he promenaded Broadway.

He has placed it in his cabinet of curiosities. And even black negroes boast of buying and smoking lhe cigars 'specially imported for cap'n Prince de Joiuville, what's to be king ob France, one of todder days." Well, perhaps, it's all well enough. Excitement is the electricity of life. And the more harmless the source from which it is derived, and the more simple the agency by which it is communicated the better it is for society. On the 23d the foreign consuls resident in New York visited the prince, on board the Belle Poule, in a body.

They were dressed in the full official uniform of their respective nations. Some five hundred of the French residents of New York visited his highness on the same day. They have invited the prince to a public dinner, and. he has graciously condescended to accept the invitation. The editor of tbe Herald thus speaks of the prince's private room in the Belle Poule It was simply, but elegantly furnished, without any display of effeminate luxury in any of its apartments.

It was characterized by good taste and comfort. Among ether objects of interest with which it was decorated, we observed a bronze copy of a Joan of Arc, exquisitely sculptured by his royal highness' late sister, Marie, a lady of lofty and almost universal genius, who, unfortunately for the arts, died in the bloom of youth. Another was a charming and spirited sketch from memory, by the prince himself, of a scene from the 4th act of Les Huguenots, at the representation of which his royal highness assisted. Then there were miniature portraits of his royal parents, the king and queen of the French, painted by the celebrated Madame de Mirbel. There was also a picture of the intrepid and daring landing of the French at Vera Cruz, headed by the Prince de Joinville, though' in violation of rigid discipline.

Not the least interesting part of the cabin furniture was the prince's private library, a most intellectually selected collection of fine authors, in almost every department of literature and science. We were naturally gratified to see among them Bancroft's History of the United States, the Life of Commodore Perry, by Slidell Mackenzie, James's Naval History, and several works pertaining to his favorite profession. There were several highly finished fowling pieces, by the celebrated manufacturer, Le Page, of Paris; some Moorish yata-gans, from Algiers; a very curious antique sword of the middle ages; four superb long Turkish pipes, enriched with diamonds, a present to his royal highness by the young Sultan of Turkey. A plain but excellent piano, whose quality we can epeak of from a hasty trial, was the only source of mere amusement and recreation which met our eye. The band on board the Belle Poule is supported at an expense of 40,000 francs per annum from the prince's private fortune.

Some scamp stole a bundle of sermons, manuscript, from a preacher in the State of New York. Pleasure. An author, and a wise one, that we have somewhere read, and not quite forgotten, admonished us that there is a great deal of wUdom and generalship to be shown in the managing and marshalling of our pleasures, so that each shall not mutually encroach to the destruction nf all.

For pleasures are very voracious, too apt to worry one another, and each, like Aaron's, serpent, is prone to wallow up the We should hover over pleasures like beea over, the flowers, sip and fly but we all know that flies are great fools when tbey plump themselves into a pot ef molasses.

Once upon a time, which time was a very recent evening in St. Louis, two droll youngsters, Jiot long escaped from their teens, might have been observed in dose and mysterious confab, issuing from the Lilliputian door-way of the Planters' House, on Fpurtb street. "Are you quite sure he don't know me 7 said one.

"There aint a man now in the National acquainted with your person." replied the other they are all transient people, and this fellow is a full-blooded Sucker, from the ague bottoms of Illinois." Then, by the infallibility of the immortal Mesmer!" replied the first speaker, "and the gullibility of the nineteenth century, I'll go it Enough said," returned lhe senior wag of the two, I promise you the thing shall come off gloriously, and we'll have a saw worthy to be recorded upon the mysterious tablets of the original Cavites those sacred relics now in cautious keeping, with brave ilicardimus, Emperor of the invincible Umbrella Rangers!" The young men had just mado an abrupt exit, in a fit of uncontrollable mirth, from a private parlor in the Planters' House, where a newly-risen. philosopher was electrifying the faculty and the press, and the concentrated intelligence of St. Louis (which Utter was represented on this occasion by a single individual, who magnanimously took it all on his own shoulders) by magnificently magnetising a maid. The project of which they spoke was to adjourn immediately to the National Hotel, and forthwith make an extempore experiment in magnetic clairvoyance upon a certain Sucker then sojourning in the aforesaid establishment. Bowing to acquaintances as they passed through the bar-room, the two jokers were soon joined in the back parlor by half a dozen familiars, and a spirited conversation coinmeuced immediately among them, relative to the truth and beauty of armor can Magnetism, as, for this occasion only," it was termed.

The young gentleman who has been made to open his lips, first in this sketch, maintained through this a most professor-like gravity, and was constantly addressed by the othcrswith highly deferential tone and demeanor, as Doctor. It was an excellent farce, and was played upon an entirely new principle the actors being seated with their backs to the audience (as' transcendent Fanny Kemble chose to suffer first the greeting of an American audience), and the audience being a self-important-looking individual, with a very soft face, who sut at the round table in the centre of the room, pro fqundly spelling out the long words in Veto Message the first. At him the fun was being poked, "over the left" shoulder and over the right, as the amateur gentlemen of the buskin sat with their backs towards him, seemingly quite unconscious of bia presence. Soon an experiment was proposed, and the doctor, with gentlemanly acquiescence, at once turned up his cuffs, and went- to work upon a subject who well understood his part. Ol course, a most astonishing effect was produced.

Another gentleman submitted and he rolled head over heels into the embrace of Mar-morean Magnetic Morpheus! The gentleman who had been for some time personally and individually personating "a full and fashionable audience," laid down his paper containing Veto Message the first, and requested, froui one with whom he had some acquaintance, an introduction to the doctor. As has been intimated, the individual" had already developed" himself in the hotel, although he was still suffered to remain in the blissful idiosyncrazy of believing himself a wit and a wag, and a profound philosopher. His object here was to have a capital joke to tell of his trick upon the magnettc doctor in great St. Louis, and all the time he was reading the veto, clairvoyance was stealing over him, through which he saw himself seated on a cider barrel in the village grocery, with an admiring crowd around him, listening to his exploits in tbe St. Louis hotel; for the saucy Sucker was a heretic, daring to deny the science, and therefore well deserved the punishment he met with.

He proffered himself as a subject to be magnetised, and the grave professor, with well-acted hesitation, at length courteously agreed to meet his wishes. Here was an interesting crisis in the saw." Here was a fool of a fish, with the hook already in his gills, and yet fancying himself the angler! The fun was so rich that it stood in danger of being all knocked in the head by irrepressible cachinations of tbe actors, which, with their best efforts, they could not more than half way smother. The "doctor" himself, however, maintained a Al armor Ftin countenance, and, with extraordinary solemnity of manner, produced a composing effect upon the risible materials around him. The self-wise Sucker sat down, and the newly installed professor entered upon his mysterious task of producing magnetic slumber. "Now, how gloriously I'll hoax the doctor thought the jocose countryman, as his eye-lids drooped beneath an influence which Not puppy nor mandragora, Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world," seemed at all likely to be able to hold a candle to.

"Gentlemen," said the. doctor, this is the most astonishing example of an impressive' subject I have ever known throughout my whole experience in this wouderful science. Here, you will perceive, gentlemen, has been no opportunity whatever of collusion. That person now in profound sleep before you I never saw before in my life yet there, you see be a murmorean mass of flesh, and blood, and bone Most sincerely, gentlemen, do 1 regret that thousands are not here to witness this triumphant achievement in magnetism Wonderful and mysterious science Gentlemen, I could cut that man's nose off now, and he would never know it There he Bits, sound asleep and through all the centuries of time he will sit there, until my controlling teill shall permit him to open bis eyes again! What an extremely ugly countenance he has Were the gentleman awake, I would not say it; but he is, positively, tbe ugliest individual I ever saw in my life!" T. The poor.

Sucker turned pale and red and pale again and nervous twitching jn tue afore. said ugly countenance; sufficiently indicated that tbe 'possum stood in no need of three ears" to hear all that was going on around him. "Gentlemen," continued the Doctor, it would be the most emphatic proof of the science that has ever yet been -achieved, if I could exhibit this subject at my lecture to-morrow 'evening. We can just remove, him; in the chair as he sits, some djstaot and quiet room' where he can be locked up and kept until to morrow night, and then I'll have him removed to thejecture room The "subject" fairly gasped at this, and a spasmodic action of the limbs conclusively announced the intention, on the part of the Sucker, to jump up and run. But the Doctor had a strong eye upon him, and a stronger hand upon his shoulder, and, being by no means inclined to part with so beautiful a case," he immediate-, ly commenced a' new series of manipulations, observing that he would now attempt to pro duce tbe still more remarkable phenomenon of At this juncture the senior wag of the party happened to be standing behind the subject with a burnt cork In his hand, against which tbe Dr.

accidentally smearod his' fingers, while manipulating the face of his patient First arose two huge bluck eyebrows over the closed optics; then came out very fancifully mnrked whiskers; followed by clown-like line -drawn from the hair, down the forehead and nose, across the inouth to the tip of the chin. Next the operator's thu tubs passed under the eyss of the sleeper, leaving them both as if just bunged up in a pugilistic combat; and lastly a pair of fierce, melo-draiiialic moustaches spreud away jn fantastic flourishes ever the checks. His face grows upon acquaintance," observed the Doctor, he seems to me now a perfect sleeping beauty It was now evident that the fun was most up, fur smothered guffaics were exploding in all quarters of the room, and many were obliged to rush iuto the street to laugh. The agony of the Sucker, too, was plainly visible, (for by this time he uiust have been fully conscious ho was caught,) and it seemed pretty certain that he could not possibly stand it five minutes longer. So the Doctor determined to fire the train at once, and touch off the catastrophe.

Gentlemen," said he, before I will that this beautiful subject shall waRe up, there is one experiment 1 should like to This man, 1 have told you, is now a marmorean mass, a consolidated lump oj" torpid animal matter, utterly void of sensation or thought. It is a question in the science as yet, whether or not electrified iuimal3 can be made to stand fire! or whether they will not explode and fly into atoms at the approach of the burning element. Now, gentlemen, if you' will stund aside I will endeavor to make this man's nose a candle extinguisher, by stuffing the flame up his nostril Murdtt murder! murder!" screamed the Sucker, bouncing up and darting like a shot iuto the street, looking like a demon, or one of the damned, with his horribly smeared face. Wonderful wonderful!" exclaimed the Doctor. "Glorious science! This proves that magnetised animals cannot stand fire.

You see he went off even before the flame touched him Glorious science Gentlemen, our friend is a gone Sucker!" Wouderful Mesmer! I'm satisfied as the great milenarjt' commander saicLwhen he saw a huge beaet cam ing a trunk on its nose. This audacious piece of drollery was actually played in St. Louis, and the laugh about town is not over yet. As for the victim, it is said he is still running about the Illinois prairies, fancying himself an electrified animal, and peeping, Narcissus-like, into Looking-Glass Lake at his beautifully bedaubed physiognomy.
