HE, CLIVES'S EEPCET. Mr. Oliver has presented a report on Kansas affairs, in reply to that of Messrs. Sherman and Howard. The c following is the conclusion, and suming up: . . " . '". First. That at the first election held in the Territory under the organic act, .for delegates to Congress, Gen. John . W. -Whitfield received a plurality of the legal votes .cast, and was duly elected such delegate, as stated in the majority report. Second. That the Territorial Legis " lature : waTa'legally constituted body, and had power to pass valid laws, and their enactments are therefore valid.-'Jhird.-That these laws, when ap pealed tp, have been nsed for the pro- niri nit iti n in i i nri v : i i . in cinri i k . andfor the maintenance of law and order in the Territory. ' -Fourth. That the election under which the sittiu delegate, John W. "Whitfield was held, was in ' pursuance of valid lav,', and should.be regarded .4X3 a valid election. ". . .. Fifth; That as said Whitfield, at said election, received a large number of legal votes without opposition, he was duly elected as a deJegate.to this body nnd 13 entitled to a seat.' on this floor ' as such. " . Sixth., That the election under which 'the contesting delegate, Andrew H. Reeder, claims his seat, was not held under any law, but, in contemptuous disregard of all law": and'that'it should only be regarded as the expression of i i- i . -j t.-x: a Dana. oi malcontents anareroiuuuu Ists,and consequently should be wholly disregarded by the House. ' ; ' ;, ' Seventh-, As to., whether : ctr': not ' Andrew R. Reeder received a greater . number f votes of resident citizens 6n the .9th,' than J. W. Whitfield did '"on the 1st of October, 1855, no testi . 'HMny-was takeir by the committee, so far as;the undersigned knows, .nor is it material to the issue.' v ' ' - " . All of which is respectfully submitted. " . M, OLIVER. jlit A-rrruL aitd stbakge cmcrrn stance "The- New York. Times, of. the 28th has the he following: . Max Killed by . His oVj? Coffin .. On" Saturday might last, a man who re . sided in twenty-ninth street was killed in: a most singular manner. : The ' fol lowing are the peculiar circumstances, as .far. as our reporter has been able to learn them for, in consequence of the opinion entertained,- concerning his re latives,; by the deceased,- who was a spcrctabllity, they liave made great cSbrt.to keep the particulars from the public " ear. It appears that nearly a year'ago tho'dee'eased, who was fifty three years af age, became strongly " impressed with an" idea that, ' when he should die, .the parsimonious disposition of his. relatives would lead them to put .Jiim in.axheap cofiin, while he had a strong desire to be buried in one of polished rose wood? lined with white , satin --and trimmed with silver.- Soon after this strange idea, got possession 'of his mind,-he discovered an elegant cofiin" in one of the principal warehouses, VhiclrEuitod hint. '. He purchased it at . .575; had it sent to -his residence , at nightfall, and stowed it away in a small closet adjoining. his bed-room, where it remained until the time of the accident. iiow it occurred is not Known to a certainty, for the first intimation the iamily had of the lamentable occurrence twas from a servant, who, on going to call him to breakfast, found the door . the floor, dead, with his coffin at his .side. She' screamed,, which, soon .' brought the family, and on raising the body the skull was found crushed in . upon the brain. . He was discovered auouwcigut u ciuuk uaieruay wurmug, when, to all appearance, he had been '. dead' se veral hours". On examining the -closet, -a bottle containing a quantity . of sherry wine was found, and as Satur- day night was excessively warm, he is . order to procure the wine to use. with 6ome icfi water he had on a small table Vi v rn VpdRir1- Tt is thnrifrht flint, ho must have sought for it in the dark, and by socle mistake upset the coffin, which fetood nearly upright. Becoming sensi ble that it .was falling, he probably made an effort . to get away, "when he Tell, and the outer end struck his head with soScient force to fracture his skull Tind cause almostimmediate death.; The inquest will be held- with all. possible secrecy. The unfortunate impression of the deceased 'concerning his - re latives is a sufficient reason for with- ' holding the name? of the parties. - rOSE KEJr IXOH THE CRUIEA: ' Another company of English labor ers from the Crimea came out in the . Orient, -and have applied for emplov ment at the office of the American In dustrial Association, No. 67 Greenwich street. They are a part of the "Amy work corps," the whole numbering at '.the time .of their discharge 3,880 men. A copv " of the articles of contract shows, that these men were employed as laborers, excavators, or navies, for ' a period of two years, and is required for. three years, at thirty shillings per . week, , including, rations, such as arc . .supplied to the soldiers. These articles further stipulate that notice' may at . any tune be given them that their services are dispensed with; in which event, or at the expiration of the agree- fnent by aSuxion of time, each person singing the articles shall, if his conduct be approved by the officer in command of the corps, be entitled to receive gratuity of twelve pounds and a free passage home. - On the arrival of the men in London they received their arrears of wages, together with the gratuity above stip- ulated. In an address delivered to them by their commanding officer at the time of their disbanding, they were advised to: emigrate to some of Her Majesty's Colonies; A large number, however,' it appeiaus; have given the preference to the land ot the fctars anu 3 some of which have already tnpe 2, arrived, and the rest are o:i their w ay, having embarked, in London. " ,Ihe notice of the arrival of these men, which appeared some days since in our columns, has led to correspondents, from several quarters, with the Secre tary of the Association,' with a' view to the locating and employments of these emigrants, and no difficulty will be found in giving profitable employment to all who may seek our shores with the intention' of becoming industrious nnd peaceful citizens. Xiw'. I rorh Times, . a heroic mrs, ' ! ' A passenger on board the Northern Indiana gives an account of the narrow escape of Cicero Fowler and wife, of Tully. .i. There was but one life pre server for-.Mrs. F.- and her husband; he insisted imperatively that she should put it on; she peremptorily refused; saying she "was in poor health, and his-life was worth far more than hers!" The preserver having no strap, Mr3. F. tore the hem from her .'dress, and fastened it to her husband, hom shei continued to, encourage, saying : she could hold on to him, and if -the pre server could not sustain them both, she would be the one to let go and leave him to save himself. - - - - ' The fire was getting hotter and hot ter. Therwater.was thick with human forms struggling for life; she tore - her bonnet, already on fire, from her head, and hand in hand with1 one '. ihe. loved better than herself, took !thc dangerous leap. As they arose" from the water, Mr. Fowler assisted his vrife in 'pro curing a good hold of him on or .about the shoulders. She .wiped ' the .water from his mouth: and eyes, and encour aed him to retain his hope, of being sav'?cL ' He continued to struggle with the waves. . Half an hour elapsed and there' was no sign of, assistance.- His strength was rapidly failing;, his wife observing it, tried anew to cheer him. He. said he could not stand it any longer; it seemed as though ho must give up. . At that moment she heard a steamer coming rapidly through the water. She says, "My dear husband, a. few moments more and we are safe don't -you' hear a boat coming?" He said he did, and immediately revived, made all the effort Tn his power, and struggled for himself and his heroic wife until the Mississippi came tip and took them, with scores of others, on her commodious decks. Syracuse (iV. I.) Journal. SHAEP W02IAN. A well-dressed and highly respect able looking woman, a few days since entered a fashionable store in Cincin nati, and desiredto look at some gloves. They were shown to her, and she selected one pair. The clerk left her for a few moments to get change, and she quietly secreted in her bosom a halt dozen pairs ot the same , gloves. As she was Hearing the door, the pro prietor stepped forward and stated that he had perceived the theft, and requested her name and. residence, that he might send the bill for the stolen gloves. She was indignant but he was .stern, and took great pride in evincing how smart he had been. Find ing escape impossible, she begged him to keep the matter secret, and she would pay at once; for that purpose she handed a twenty dollar note he deduct ed five dollars for the gloves, and gave her fifteen in change and allowed her o depart. His exultation over the result came to a sudden termination next day, when the twenty dollar note was returned from the bank as a coun terfeit. no thinks he did not make much by giving her fifteen dollars in cash as a present, for stealing half, a dozen pairs of gloves. . . . , Savage Assault upon a late Mem ber of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee. Mr. Edward A. Jessell, a resident of Jersey Citvi who recently returned from San Francisco, and who while there, was a member of the Vigi lance Committee, vras attacked on Monday evening by Andy Shehan, fellow well known to the prize-fighting community, who beat him in a terrible manner. It appears that Shehan had known Mr. Jessell, bv sight, m Califor ma, and happening to meet him at the corner of Last Broadway and Catherine street, on Monday night, .he accosted him, and accused him of having aided in the capture of Yankee Sullivan,' and acted with the v igilance Committee in their, crusade against the gamblers and others, who had been expelled from the btate. He then fell upon M: J essell andbeat him until he was hauled off by some bystanders: - No police- - 1 '--4 mt'-m man was aoout, ana shenan escaped arrest at the time, but yesterday he . .. .: . . . was captured by olhcer Masterson o the Chiefs Bureau, but as Mr. Jesse had made no complaint against him he was released from custody. Late in the day! Mr. J. made a complain against him before Justice Welsh, who issued a warrant for his re-arres;t. A the time of the assault, Mr. J. had in his shirt bosom a pin containin e twenty five diamonds, which he valued at 600 which was missing immediately after ward, and has not been seen by him since. There is to be a gathering of dea mutes at Concord, New Hampshire on the third of September next, when an oration will be delivered, in the sign language, by Mr. Laurent Gere, who has been chosen orator of the daj. An Incident of the, Burning of the Northern Indiana: An incident, which . created intense excitement among the lady- passengers on board the Mississippi, was the discoverjof a svreet j little baby about a year old, which-by some means had -its Jittle arms across a board. and was -.holding on with a death 'grip.4 It .-we 3 now mounting the!' top 6fthe wive?, and now down in their troughs, cud it seemed as though at eachv moment it must relax its hold and go down. The ladies watched it with the most intense anxiety", and' among them were mothers whose eyes were moist and sobs audible. Rut it was riot long before one of the boats picked it up, and the most fervent exclamations of joy at its rescue were heard on every side. Fortunately it3 mother was among the saved who came to this cityon the Mississippi, and the scene, as she clasped to her bosom her child, whom she thought drowned, is altogether 1 indescribable. Exchange. Palace Discovered Underground. The remains of a magnificent palace have been discovered under a garden in the Isle of Capri. ' It must not only have been splendid in structure, but in situation, commanding a view of the bay of Palermo and Naples. Marble of various colors was used in its con struction, and all its apartments, so far as the excavations have proceeded, are of the most spacious and elegant character, - The doorway is twelve feet wide, and of white ; marble, and the rooms are paved in mosaic, while- the walls are painted red, blue, yellow, &c. Several coins of the reign of Augustus and Tiberius have been found, some of hem disclosing the curious fact that he coins of one reign were at times recoined in another. A ; Prince on His Travels. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas says , that Prince Napoleon intends being absent for some time on his arctic cruise,! for, he will visit the Shetland Islands, Iceland, and Greenland, and the coast of Norway. lie travels un der the title of the Count de Maudon. There are several scientific men in his suite; M. de" Saulcy, member of the Institute; M.'

Kousseau, of the Garden of Plants, will take the photographs; M. Giraud will execute the drawings, and'M. Chbidsky, will be the historigrapher pi. the expedition. . . The Latest Dodge. The Vigilance Committee of San Francisco, in the course of their investigation into the case of a coroner whom they had arrest ed, elicited satisfactory evidence that he was in the habit of disinterring the bodies of persons who had been buried for the purpose of dropping them into the docks, and thus receiving the fees attending an inquest. In this way, it is said, one body has been made to do service three or four times or as long as it would hold together. This accounts in part for the great number of bodies that, but a little while ago, were con stantly found under the wharves of San Franciscoi Re-Election of Brooks and Keitt. -Columbia. S. C.

New Governor of Kansas. Col. Geary is a high-minded, honorable man, and -who will bring to his new duties a desire to secure equal and exact justice to all the citizens of the new Territory, to promote order and tranquility, to perform efficiently and fairly all the trusts committed to his charge. He possesses administrative ability of the highest order, and has been admirably trained for his new duties by his ex tended experience as a Colonel in the Mexican war, as Alcade, and subse quently first Major of San Francisco, and other capacities. Pcnnsylvanian. Mr. John Parker and son were at tending some fish, lines on the river about three' miles above here, when they . were surprised by a continous, unusual roaring, towards the middle of the stream. The night was without wind.. Owing to the darkness, no effort was made to ascertain the cause of this strange noise until daylight, when it was seen thaj; a whirlpool of large extent was in active operation some two hundred yards from the Missouri shore, which still continues m opera tion, drawing in a great body of water; so much, indeed, that the volume of the river below is sensibly lessened.- Driftwood and large floating logs go in and disappear totally. Many hundred yesterday went up to see this strange sight. . Unless this chasmsoon fills up with water, the enect upon navigation will be calamito s indeed; for it would seem that the bottom of the river has really fallen ou.SquaUer' Sovreign (Atchison, K. T.) Driven to Suicide by a Wrongful Charge of Theft. On Sunday even ing last a young girl jumped from one of the piers in the city of Racine, and was drowned. She had been accused of stealing money from her employers, wmcn impelled ner to this act of vio lence. After her death the money was found in the house where she had lived. It had been mislaid.

If it can only i t li i i ODiain mc puouc patronage long enougD, ana larc enough, and securely enough, to attm its truo ends, it will contribute in an eminent degree to give a healthy tone, not only to our literature but to public opinion. It will enable us to possess, in a moderate compass a select library of the best productions of the age. It will do more : it will redeem our period ical literature from the reproach of being devoted to light and superficial reading, to transitory specula tions, to sickly and ephemeral sentimentalities, and false and extravagant sketches of life and character JOSEPH STORY. !. 7 New York, 7th, 1811. 1 approve very much of the plan of tho "Livin Age ;" and if it be conducted with the intelligence) spirit and taste, that the prospectus indicates, (of which I have no reason to doubt) it will be one of the most instructive and popular periodicals of the day. JAMES KENT. - WASraxGTON, 27th De., 1814. Of all tho Periodical Journals devoted to litera ture and scionce which abound in Europe, and in this country, this appeared to me the most useful. It con tains indeed the exposition only of tho current liter ature of the English language; this, by its immense extent and comprehension, includes a portrature of the human mind in the utmost expansion of the pres ent age. J. Q. ADAMS. This work is made up of the elaborate and stately essays of tho 'Edinburgh 'Quarterly,' and other - Re views; and 'Blackwood's' noble criticisms on Poetry his .keen political Commentaries, highly wrought Tales, and vivid descriptions of rural and mountain Scenery; and the contributions to Literature, Histo ry, and Common Life, by the sagacious 'Spectator,' tho sparkling 'Examiner,' the judicious 'Athenseum ' the busy and industrious 'Literary Gazette,' the sen sible and comprehensive 'Britannia,' the sober and respectable 'Christian Observer; these are intermix ed with the Military and Naval reminiscences of the United Service,' and with the best articles of the 'Dublin University,' 'New Monthly,' 'Frasers,' 'Taits,' 'Ainsworth's,' 'Hood's' and 'Sporting Magazine's, and of 'Chamber's' admirable 'Journil.' We do not con sider it beneath our dignity to borrow wit and wis dom from 'Punch;' and when we think it good enough make use of the thunder of 'The Times.'
