Scandalous Thift. -We learn by the Courier of last evening that, since leaving the Mereure, Marshal Bertrand has been robbed of 11 1 'a a a. smaii learner irunK containing valuable docu nients relative to the history of the Empire.

He had it on board the towboat Star, but, upon collecting his baggage in town, this particular trunk could not be found. Every effort has been made" for the purpose, but thus far unsuccessfully. As the papers can be of no value to a scamp tfho would steal a trunk, we have hopes that it may be recovered indeed, it would not surprise us, bad it only been mislaid, either in town or on the boat. The capital steamboat, the Missouri Mail, Capt. LittleonJeaves this city to-morrow evening, fotXouia.

She is one of the best boats on the river, and her commander is attentive and polite. We commend her to our friends. SuiDE5 Death ow thi Level Yesterday afternoon a white man, name unknown, died suddenly on the wharf at the foot of St. Joseph street. He had been' observed by some negroes, who were working there, lingering about the place during part of Thursday and yesterday, and was apparently one of the many un-.

The Hero arrived last evening, In four days. fdF A meeting took place yesterday afternoon between two gentlemen of this city. The weapons used were small swords. After two or three passes one of the parties was wounded in the fleshy part of the leg.

Happily the difference was then honorably adjusted between the parties. VW George Wycott yesterday charged Edward Armonie, before Recorder Bert us, with fitt ahng a roundabout jacket from the door of Lewis, kockernot, on the Levee. Ned told a roundabout story, about taking up the roundabout jacket to examine its quality but the Recorder seemed to make an imaginary circle above his heady as much as to say, it's all round my hat with: you, old fellow The pri soiier was sent down, VW Our neighbor, the Major, is so severe upon sheepskin that we must henceforth call liim the drutn-mtjor. Slave Stealing. Information having been received here that Peter, the slave of Arm and Troxlair, of the parish of St.

Charles, was sto-Jen, forcibly carried away, and taken, to this ciiy, a warrant oT search and for the arrest of the parties who had stolen him was' issued by the Mayorand delivered to Capt. Youenes and Lieut. Morel, bothfof the First Municipality police, for execution. On Thursday night the went to the residence of William Morton, in Jackson street; in this Municipality, and made vsearch on his premises for the slave. Morton denied all knowledge of him.

They at length broke open the door of a back building, where they found the slave Peter tied up. He at once told them that he was the slave of Mr. Troxlair; that lie was forcibly abducted away from his master's plantation by two men, who took him down the river in a skiff, and brought him to where he was found that one of them called every day to see him, and that he was to have been taken yesterday to Texas. The officers immediately arrested Morton, and took the slave also with them to the police office. They also kept watch at Morton's house, knowing that the person who assumed ownership over the slave would come there.

He came there yesterday morning, and was by them arrested. He and Morton are now in ori son, awaiting the investigation of the case by the Mayor. A fictitious bill of sale of the slave. made from Davis the second party arrested) to Morton, has been found with them; bat this, of course, only increases the evidence their It is in detecting gnilt such as this that we like to see our city magistracy and noliea en gaged, and not in prompting the very vilest to -eu jmprqoabie plots against even although the accused be little less vile than inemeeives.

They met him in the ball-room of the St. Louis Ex change, to which jwas conducted, in com' pany with his son, by select escort. At the West end of the room there was a well painted portrait of Bonaparte, and on either side of it iue rrcucn ana American ensigns nung in graceful folds. The Veterans were the first who marched in, and when the officers, who came after them, in their rich and gorgeous uniforms, filed round the room, the tout entem- ble was highly imposing.

The Marshal com me need an interchange of cordial and respect ful compliments with the Veterans, and thus went through the line, shaking the hand of all, and asking of each a passing pertinent ques tion. Few could believe that so many years subsequent to the era of his glory, and so many thousand miles from its theatre, he would meet so many who had shared in his perils, and though moving in a less distinguished sphere in bis fame. Yet so it was. In the eye of many a war-worn veteran there, did the tear start, as he shook the hand of Bonaparte's favorite chief and remembered Saragossa, Ba-dajoz or Fontainbleau, where, before the present meeting, be had seen Bertrand. Gen.

Lewis took his place at the head of the officers. When the Marshal approached, he said: General On the part of the officers of the First Division of Louisiana Militia, I bid you welcome a soldier's welcome. We feel honored by a visit from one so distinguished in the military annals of his country, and take this mode of testifying it. You will find among us, General, many of your compatriots, who fought in your ranks for the glory of France, and man who fought for the liberty of America. In their name again, and in the name of the citizens and soldiers of the State, I bid you welcome!" The Marshal briefly replied, and proceeded to receive their gratulations severally; after which they escorted him to his lodgings.

Marshal Bertrand wore a plain blue dress coat and pantaloons, and white vest he is about nve teet seven inches hign, and ot vigorous frame. The top of bis head is bald the hair on the remainder of his bead is grey not white. His complexion is florid, and his countenance of the most benevolent cast. In truth, he more resembles a pious clegyman, who, "Remote from tovu had run his godly race," than a warrior soldier, who nothing does "but meditate on blood, To swearing and stern looks, diffused attire, And every thing that seems unnatural." Though seventy years of age, his appearance bespeaks him. not more than fifty-six.

His son, wbo accompanies him, is fully six feet two inches tall, very slender, of fair complexion, and dressed in the style of a Parisian beau. He wears large whiskers and moustache. Another Santa Ft Prisoner Dead. Major Valentine Bennet, one of the members of the unfortunate Santa Ft Expedition, died at Gonzales, Texas, on the 24th of July, of the cramp colic. Maj.

Bennet was one of the companions of Mr. Kendall in his dreary march to the city of Mexico, and was there imprisoned in the same quarters. He was a man far advanced in life, and was one of the earliest and bravest defenders of Texas, and bore an honorable part in most of the sanguinary conflicts of the young Republic He was a man of sterling integrity and honest deportment.

i UfT The following in an extract from the etler of our Boston correspondent, for the whole of which we liave not room to-day. It is dated the 28th of August. "One of your citizens, Mr. James S.Redman, died here on the 21st inst. after a short illness.

of the intermittent fever. They do not un dersland the treatment of that disease here, and did not give him quinine enough. He had taken but one' meal vince his return to his birth-place, after an absence of nine years. He was as generous a hearted young man as ever breathed. He has left an amiable young wifet and two infant children.

The Boston market is as animated as eould be expected. The sales of Cotton for the past week have been at prices to 4c. per lb. higher than on tbe previous week. 1 he market is now unusually firm, and little is offering.

It must fail there, we feel as sured, for want of sl prima donna, CP The alarm about yellow fever in New York turns out to be utterly without foundation The cases of illness at Kingston were bilious remittent fever, and had commenced before the arrival there of the infected ship, the Vanda. Upon this, tbe Journal of Commerce laughs at the authorities for their needless terror, and re news its call for the abolition of quarantine regulations. But there is too much patronage connected therewith to justify any hope for its immediate abrogation.

Fine Writing.

We occasionally meet with fine writing among our country cotemporaries, quue aa oign laiuung" as any city editor can get up. For example, tbe editor of an Ala bama paper, clever enough in the main, is urg ing upon his fellow-citizens the propriety of inclosing and improving a public square for the ornament of the village. In the ardor of his zeal for carrying into effect a design so tasteful, he thus exclaims "Almost every enterprise that has been proposed heretofore has been lost in a general diversity of opinion which seemed to be eoetane-out with every proposition calculated to rouse us from our temporal langvor but as this state of feeling has had its day and is gone, we trust never more to return, there is now no hindrance, let or molestation" against the con summation of our every The design of A Citizen" to impark and imparadise tbe square, meets our highest approbation, and we feel satisfied its accomplishment is no longer a matter of incertitude. Indeed, drawing moderately upon our reductive powert of imagination, we prospectively see the grounds inclosed by a paled fence white as the snow-capped summit of the Alleghenies (uhoe top, beartng the impress of the ever-varying mind of man, diverges from its legitimate horixontahty tnto the icinding and meanarous coils and moltons of the serpent that beguiled old Mother Eve in the garden of Eden) ithin whose poo fines our mind's eye beholds walks most tastefully laid out, running at right-angles, and digressing into quadrilateral and triangular lines, and corresponding with the green and luxuriant shade i rfi hnmliuimelv arranged in the auincunx or der, with here and there, at regular intervals, settees to relieve the fatigue of eager perambulationthe green sward throwing a vtvifick in fluence on all around. If, after this appeal to the villagers, they do not proceed at once to carry into effect the pro posed plan, then, upon them has eloquence lost its power.

CP The President of the United States has left Washington with his daughter and grand child, for the White Sulphur Springs of Vir ginia. CP The Saratoga Sentinel of the 28th ult, says that the number of arrivals at that place, from the 20th to the 27th, inclusive, was 1677. The arrivals by private conveyances exceeded 700. It adds" There are now full 3000 stran gers here, with the prospect of large additions rather than a decrease in numbers." Honey in New York. The New York Ex press of the 31st ult.

He allowed his clothes to be taken from him by his wife and another lady, and consented to retire to bed, would 'they re main in the room. They did so but in a few moments were startled by the report of a pistol with which Mr. Evans blew out his brains.

Senate. We doubt The report that the Hon. Mr. Nils, U. S.

Senator from Connecticut, is now a patient in the Insane Asvlum. and that there is little hope that be will ever be able to attend to pub lic duties again, is entirely confirmed. Fatal Affrav at EUelon, MdA fatal rrn contra took place on the 30th at Elkton, Cecil county, between Amor T. Forward, a lawver of that village, and formerly a mem ber of the State Legislatuture from Cecil county, and Palmer C. Ricketts, editor and proprietor of the Cecil Whig, published in Elkton.

It appears that a misunderstanding of a political character had existed between the parties for a considerable time, which gave rise to frequent severe publications from each, some of recent date. The facts, as related by the Baltimore Patriot, are as follows: Ricketts had proceeded to the Post Office for the pur pose of retting his letters and papers. Soon after leaving the Post Office, he was. met by Forward, who seized him by both arms. Ap prehending that a serious assault might ensue, Ricketts quickly disengaged himself, and drew a revolving six-barrelled pistol, from which he discharged four balls, the first missing, the three latter taking effect in his antagonist's body, causing death soon after.

Ricketts, im mediately after the affray, gave himself up to abide tbe laws of his country, and is now in the custody of the sheriff. gy. In the city of New York the democrats have nominated their delegates to the State Convention. The strife was warm between the friends of Mr. Van Buren and Mr.

Ef Official information has been received at Washington of the murder of Bushyhead and Hicks. CP" The Millbury (Mass.) Bank was robbed about the middle of last month of a package of $17,000 of its own notes.

The notes had been counted and put in the Suffolk Bank; und sent to the Millbury Bank, but either en route or in the latter Bank a rogue ingeniously abstracted them, substituting a parcel of brown paper, with the ends nicely cut off, so that the trick was not discovered for some weeks. Some miserable wretch went into the Marine Telegraph office, Boston, on Saturday morning, the 26th and destroyed one of Mr. Parker's most valuable Telescopes, by defacing one of the glasses with a diamond. A reward has been offered for his detection. Sailors e.

Negroes. There was a disgraceful riot in Boston on the 27th ult. Some niggers in front of theirboarding -house attacked two U. S. sailors, one a boatswain and the other boatswain's mate.

They were severely beaten, but fought manfully till other sailors came to their rescue, when the niggers were essentially flogged, and the inside of their boarding-house and its furniture demolished. tp A man committed suicide in Pennsylvania on the 29th by jumping from the cars laying himself on the track, and suffering the train to run over him.

A Crafty Convict -Not long since, one of the convicts in the State Prison at Auburn, N. managed to change his dress for a suit of citizen's clothing and, after taking a turn1 or two through the yard, walked up to the door, with all tlie sang froid imaginable, and signified to the turnkey, by a smile and a nod of the head, as visiters usually do, that he had taken a sufficient view of the premises and wished to be off. --The door was accordingly thrown oen, and.

To the Public. Perceiving an article in the New Orleans Picayune, headed "Extensive Robbery," it becomes my dutv to state facts. On the 5th of June I chartered mv vessel, the Luda, to Steber, for a voyage lo Mexico. We sailed on the 17th for Lacuna Mr. S.

desired me to put into Cam peachy, where we arrived on the 27 th on tne jutn, ne soia tne enure cargo, wun me exception of some bread and crackers, which are probited in all the ports of Mexico, and on July 3d the cargo was landed in good order. Alter allowing Mr. o. a reasonable time to set tie bis business, I requested hioi to return to New Orleans, but he would not, I remained in Camneachv till July 17th. eight or ten days after I had been cleared by the American con huI.

Now the charter party said nothing about a return cargo, and I was at liberty to go where I pleased, by paving his passage to New Orleans, which I offered to do, and likewise the freierht on the bread, but. after retaining me 14 days, be made up his mind that unless I would buy his bread, he would compel me to take him, bread and all to the United States. On the 15th he intimated to me that he intended to amuerle the proceeds of the oreo on board (I requested him not to do it,) which he said, if he paid the duty, would amount to $d(l or bO. The duty, being 3 per would give $2000 as the amount to be exported. The cargo coat in New Orleans $1250, and was sold for $125 above costs and charges, deducting $200 for bread and addiug $oUU lor treigbt.

He told me he took ho money with him at all events there was none on my import manifest. Where he got the other $2,500 to make up the $4,000 in specie, of which he alleges to be robbed, I am unable to say, unless he made it pedling one or two crazy watches, which he termed chronometers, and asked $150 for each, and which the captain of an English brig told him his mate bad a better one for $75. On the 16th he pnt his baggage on board, and being satisfied that he had taken no permit, on the following day (Monday) I informed the Consul. He told me if I went to the Collector myself and gave information that I could save my vessel; I went to the Custom House, but it was closed. That evening a gentleman agreed to buy his bread, and we were to meet him at Mr.

store at half past but Mr. S. not keeping his engagement, I had to go on board for him with my boat. When I got alongside of the vessel tbe steward told me supper was ready. I drank two cups of coffee, but did not see Mr.

S. take any if we did, we both drank from the same pot and no unusual and unaccountable sleepiness came over me. The more probable conjecture is (as he is an almost inseparable companion of bis liquor-case) that. he put brandy in bis coffee and took too much. rhe assertion that I said to my brother in an under tone, Don't go," is false.

I ordered my brother and one man in the boat, without one word being said, pro or con, who should go or who should not, and they obeyed. On our arrival at the store it was past eight o'clock, and the gentleman in question had gone home outside of the city. Mr. requested me to eo for him, which I did. takin? with me the seaman who had accompanied us, my brother being left to take care of the boat.

We did not return to the boat, as stated in the Picayune. On our arrival at St. Ann 1 was informed that the officers of the Customs had suspected the freighter or smuggling, and that they were goin? to search my vessel immediately. Fearing that I could not reach the north gate before it closes (9 o'clock), we ran down to the shore, procured a canoe, and shoved on board as fast as possible, and made sail, leaving my mate and boat on shore. When I got to sea, my vessel was so light (drawing but 2 feet 6 inches) that I was obliged to keep her before the wind, which prevailing from the S.E., I came to Galveston in five days.

Immediately on my arrival I noted my protest before the Consul, stating all the particulars, and it was read lo my men, and subscribed by them under oath; and by the return of the boat I am informed that this perjured wretch, who swears to have lost $4000 in specie and $14,000 in other property, goes to New Orleans, and makes affidavits of robbery, piracy, poison, and everything else, and throws an innocent man into prison, who never harmed any one, and who has a family of small children in that city, who are destitute. 9 It Wm.L.
