The season for explorations was considered fairly opened, but no intelligence has yet been obtained of the missing vessels. lrom Hio Janeiro. We learn from Capl. Doyde, of the bark E. Corning, from Rio Janeiro, July 9th, that was a great excitement at Rio when he Bailed, in consequence of the British Heel having taken several iirn-' zllian vnssels, on suspicion of being slavers, and burnt them in the harbor of Paraguay.

The sickness had greatly abated at Rio Janeiro when he sailed At Brldgport, Connecticut, on Tuesday, a dog, with the appearance of being mad, entered a school house.

When extracted, his body was horribly mangled, and both his thighs fractured.

His fellow-workmen conveyed him lo ihe Hospital, whero his wounds were attended to, and upon examination it was fo-ind that he had also sustained serious inlcrnul Injuries. It was the opinion of the Physlcisns that he could not survive. SUICIDE BY A MINISTER-Rev. Alphonso Wm. Henry Rose, a minister of the Church of England, committed aulcide In Toronto, on Ihe 19th Instant, by cutting his ihroat with a razor, while laboring under temporary insanity.

Mr. Rose was related lo the Duchess of Sutherland. He was educated at Aberdeen Collepr, snd afterwards graduated at Cambridge In a situation promised lilin by the Bishop of London, become lo Canada some years ago. lie was for some lime afterwords settled over St. Luke's Church, In Cincinnati, and is well known Id some parts of the Untied Stales as a meTTancholy ACCIDENT.

A ssd accident occurred in Prlham, Niagara District, on Friday last, which csuwJ Ihe death of Iwo persons. A pedler from ihe American side has been lately on a tour through Ihe District, selling lamps of a new canstructlon, which burn a fluid somewhat resembling turpentine. A farmer's wife In Pelham purchased one of these lumps, and shortly after, while pouring some of tho fluid Into It, a spark happened lo touch It, when It exploded with a terrific crash, covering her with ihe flaming substsnce. She ran from ihe house, but speedily fell wrspt la flame. The house was consumed slso, and a fine child destroyed who had not lime lo escape.

These are all the particulars we have, been able 10 learn, hti that a warrant has been issued for the apprehension of the pedlur. 'Vrento Aug. 13.

In the Limerick paper, an Irish gentleman, whose wife hud absconded from him, thus cautions the public from (rusting her I "My wife hoe eloped from me without rhyme or reason, ond I desire ono will trust her on my account, for I'm not married to Iter." CURIOUS. It is a fact that the United States have had lix Presidents In little more than nine years.

Counting from the 1st March, 1841, ot which lime Van Burcn was President, thero havo been Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor ond Fillmore. The youngest of these Presidents at the time of his in. ouguration was Mr. Polk, who was then 49 years and 4 months, and the next youngest Mr. Fillmore, who at present 1 50 yeats and 6 months old.

But, finding that the shot had tnken no effect, she sent Mr. Mason a note, of which the following is a copy Carbollton, AugUHt 4, 1850.

"Mr. Maion Sin Having been grossly and villainously slandered by you and your accomplice, Maria, and furthermore molested by having fpies set to watch my house at night, I demand satisfuc tion from you. I shall expect you to meet me with pistols as soon as possible. (Signed) The examination look place. It was not attempt ed by the defence to deny the shooting.

It was proved that the accused waa a lady of unblemished character but the Justice felt it to be his duty to bind her over to keep tho peace for six months in the sum of tSOO.

We are glad to see aigns of returning sanity In one paper at the city of Washington that speaks of the sentiments and feelings of the South, understand ing, without attributing to the maes ef the people here the wild and foolish doctrines of the ultras.

The following from the Washington 17 fori of Saturday last, is almost a transcript of the langusgo we have used from the beginning of this disturbance, relative to the views and determination! of. the most and the best of southern citizens Let the Reporter sneer as It will, the Union of the States is io great peril. 'The principal dnnger arises from the difliculy of impressing the northern Slates with the decision of the South. The South is deeply sensitive and greatly excited. It was but yesterday that we were shown letters (and conversed with gentlemen from I lie southern States) which represent many of their citizens aa highly excited, and indignant at the aggressions of the fanatics.

Disunion, which but ten years ago woe never uttered but with fear and is now boldly spoken of, jusustified, and recommended. Look at the revelations in South Carolina. Hear the loud mutter-ings of Georgia, still more highly wrought up than South Carolina herself. See the signs in Florida. We tell the Reporter thst some ol the most ardent friends of the South sre alarmed at Ihe lan guage which is openly expressed in the streets of her cities.

There is a limit to the forbearance of her most quiet people. Upon one point our minds sre perfectly made up that if the Wilmot Proviso be attached to either of the territorial bills, the Union cannot withstand the shock, ll will be remembered with the things that hsve been. Thr ht -v wmiiu warn our northern countrymen of the danger which threatens us. We were never more earnest in anything we have ever said than in declaring our solemn belief that the South is in earnest in her determination, and that there la a point beyond which she will never submit. Pass the Wilmot Proviso, and we repeal the Union is gone.

Hon. IIiniv Clay having been invited to attend tho Taylor obsequies in Boston, on Thursday, declined in a letter lo the Mayor, dated Newport, August 13. DROWNED.
