ihe United States in the eyes of the natives . America , he told tbe assembly , needed no standing -a * my _. it worked on in a system of brotherly love , and _ttan he took care to convey to the inhabitants of _sa-ih dots of country as England , France , and Germany , how big was the territory of the United Slates . Mr . Cobden alluded on the first day to the pi _-i-sence of General Haynau . The American was determined to trump that success , and told the meeting that though Austrian officers might attend Frankfort peace meetings , the first general in tbe United States went about as a peace preacher . This was rather too strong a dose for the Britishers , and a peacemaker whispered very sensibly , " Then why does not he throw up his commission ? "
Having concluded his patriotic attempt to impress the _magnitude of his country on his wondering hearers , he retired amidst universal applause . f Scarcely less successful was Mr . John Dawson , oi Birmingham , who attacked tbe nultary profession much as George Cruikshank attacks intemperance . He went to work from the domestic point ol view , at the same time avoiding _sentimemalitj , ana he depicted the life ofa soldier , which ho characterised _w _^ _-fas of activity , " whh a great deal ol __ quiet humour . An old Prussian oScer rolled with laughter at the ridicule with which Mr Dawson treated thc members of bis profession . With some _unwilluxniess Mr . Dawson confessed that he was not on _^ fi wi thout military _leeling . War he hated , but
fie found a well-drilled regiment a pleasant spectacle , and lored to see the country gawky transformed into tbe elegant militaire . How reconcile these two tastes—hatred of armies and love of drill ? Why , by having industral instead of military regiments , with spades instead of muskets on their shoulders . Thus shall war be swept from the earth ; hot Mr Dawson shall not lose the amusement which doubtless he receives in St . James ' s Park . Almost every orator had expressed a wish that the sword mig ht be turned to a sickle , but Mr . Dawson , ever _ordinal , improved the standing sentiment by adding a hope that pipeclay might be used to whitewash cottages , and red cloth made up into cloaks for good , honest , old women . Before he retired he took occasion to explain that he had merely flung out his
notice ofthe spade exercise as a suggestion , without urging its serious adoption . Whether the broad hrkn gentry , who look with such benignant contempt on the ruined castles on each side of the Ehne , as something gone by in their own days of wisdom , quite relished the semi-military propensities of Mr . Dawson it is hard to say , but his speech was one ofthe successes of the day ; and perhaps this , and the oration by M . Gamier , were the only two that give decided evidence of originality . . Mr . Cobden spoke earlier on the first day . The _resolution about " loans , " strange to say , he did not touch , but confined himself to the standing armaments . His speech was as effective on his part , and showed the same tact iu seizing on objects immediately within the grace aud comprehension of his bearers .
The two _resoliations of the day were , of course , canned unanimously . On the third day a letter was read from Victor Hugo , who presided at the Congress last year in Paris , stating that fatigue and the state of his health prevented him from being present . A letter _froiu the Archbishop of Paris , expressive of sympa thy with the movement , _wasalso read . Among the more remarkable speakers of the day was Kah-Ge-Gah-Bowh ( Firm-standing , ) now Iter . G . Copway , lately a chief of the Red Indian tribes , who
concluded a very picturesque speech by the _following touch of the dramatic : — " When I left my country in the west , my aged father came to me and said , ' Here , my son , take this '—( unrolling tbo Indian pipe of peace , amid immense cheeiing)—yes , when I took my seat at this table , many persons seemed afraid to sit near me , as if Ihad arms in my hand ; bnt , Mr . President , it is not a weapon of war . it is a weapon of peace , which , in the name of my fither , in the name of my countrymen , I present to you—it is our calamet . " ( Tremendous applause as he gave it to the President . )
A $ upplementray resolution , condemning duelling was proposed . On its being about to be put , -M . Girardin ( who is well known lo have given the mortal wound to M . _Armand Carrel ) rose and was received with cheers . He said—Duelling is war between individuals . We here give a guarantee to obtain credit , and that guarantee is to be found in the solemnity of our acts—that guarantee is to deny duelling publicly and openly . A legislative assembly ' baa at this moment a subject for future debate- a law upon duelling . In my life there is a painful reminiscence . I fought a fatal duel twenty years ago , and I still feel remorse for it at this moment . If we -were to leave no other trace in Frankfort tban this resolution , we might say we had done enough . Tk _' e resolution was unanimously adopted . Tbis brought the formal business of the Congress to an end .
The remaining business consisted of formal roles of tlnvhks , and thc appointment of London as the place for holding the next Conference . Mr . Cobden led off some of the votes , complimentary with "three times three" in capital style , much tothe astonishment of the worthy Germans , and the proceedings closed , apparently to ihe satisfaction of aU concerned .

Strike Op The Drivers Axd Firemen Of Tiie Eastern Counties Railway.
STRIKE OP THE DRIVERS AXD _FIREMEN OF TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY .
Another meeting of tbe drivers and firemen lately inthe employment ofthis company took place on Friday , the 23 rd inst ., at the George Inn , Stratford , when , in the absence of Mr . Hope , Mr . Kinnersley took tbe chair . The report in thc newspapers of the company ' s meeting held en the previous day was first read , after which a prolonged conversation and discussion _t-jok place on the several points of it affecting the condition ofthe men . They affirmed that what ought to have been a qnestien of right had been _considered as one of might ; and tbat the proprietors had thought only of putting down their
combination , and not at all of inquiring whether they had not been driven to it hy oppression . Of the charges brought against them as to their tampering with the engines , they denied the truth altogether , and urged also that even admitting them to be true , subsequent misconduct in the men did not justify previous tyranny in Mr . Gooch . They also complained that the charges made against them by Mr . Belts , the chairman atthe meeting of shareholders , were too general to admit of contradiction , and whilst denying that they were true of any , complained that from their vagueness they were now applied to all .
Before the dispersion of the meeting , a letter , npon the subject , wa 3 agreed to be sent to E . L . Beits , Esq ., which having been approved , was duly despatched . On the answer to its very moderate demand the men's future proceedings will depend . It is much to he feared tbat the misunderstanding which has taken place between the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway and their enginedrivers and firemen , so far from being amicably settled , bids fair not only to rival tbe strike which occurred about two years since on the Northwestern line , but to extend to various other railways , if report speaks true , throughout the country , much to the inconvenience and danger of the public .
It appears that delegates are about to be sent to the various lines throughout the kingdom . The spark of disaffection has already reached the north , and meetings have been held at Leeds and other places , at whieh resolutions have been come to to support the men of the Eastern Counties iu their present proceedings , and it is boldly asserted that SO dissatisfied are the engine-drivers and firemen Of another great trunk line , having its terminus ia the metropolis , that tbey are ripe for an immediate outbreak . '
At Two Odock On Saturday Afternoon Last,...
At two odock on Saturday afternoon last , a Crowded meeting of tbe engine-drivers and firemen took place at tiie George _~ Inn , Stratford , for the purpose of receiving the report of the deputation , and taking snch steps as might be considered advisable in reference thereto . Mr . _IA'Callagb , in the absence of Mr . J . T . Hope , was called to tbe chair , and about 150 of the men were present . Mr . Gbgxdx said he bad to lay before the meeting tbe result of tbe deputation to the board ef directors that morning . Jn _pursuance of the resolution came to on the previous evening , they had been that morning to tbe Shoreditch terminus to see the directors , and to effer to accept an honourable compromise of the disagreement . On their arrival , they saw Mr . Roney , the secretary , and
were informed by that gentleman that all the directors were out of town , and tliat there would be no board meeting until Tuesday . He expressed personally his regret at thc _misutiderstandiag , and said that as he was himself only an officer he could of © onrse give no answer to tbe application . He , lowerer _, recommended that the men should for"WBld to him their application in writing-, and he wonld have much pleasure in laying the same before the board . In course of conversation , Mr . Roney expressed Ms conviction , that the directors _, _having confidence in Mr . Goooh , would not interfere in tbe matter , and therefore he ( Mr . Grnndy ) had little hope of any amicable settlement he ' wg come to at present , since the return of the deputation from Shoreditch , a letter bad been written , emboying the views of tbe committee , and which the chairman had better now read to the meeting .
The _Chaibjuk here read the letter offering a compromise . Mr . Reecb moved , — " That this letter be forwarded to the secretary of the company , Mr . Eoney , to be laid before the directors on Tuesday . " Mr . _Kbjsbbsley seconded the motion . Mr . Abmsiboks thought the sending of this letter waa premature . The directors bad given it out that they intended to open two of the branch lines which , had been shut np , asd run additional trains
At Two Odock On Saturday Afternoon Last,...
something might occur _whicu J _™™» „ _.-KM _^ _lftttld- not be too ready to k Rivin ' said he did not wish the public or commnv any harm , but he certainly should like to hear of a _sood old collision . ( Loud laughter , and cries of "Ob oh" ) He thought they , should hold out a bit longer . ( . Hear , bear . ) The resolution to send the letter was then carried .
The Chairman * said he was quite sure that , notwithstanding the proceedings at the meeting of the Eastern Counties shareholders on Thursday , the public were still in favour of the engine drivers , and he was very desirous that they should by their conduct keep tbe public in their favour . It was true the state of affairs were changed with the engine drivers since last Thursday , and he would tell them why . Tlie directors , instead of having the shareholders compelling them to go into a fair and proper inquiry into the case between the superintendent and the men , had no got the shareholders to back them in their proceedings . It was -nothing to the directors if the traffic of tho line failed ; the deQcioncv would not come out of their pockets ;
and tbey would only have to make additional calls upon the shareholders . Under theso circumstances , he felt that the drivers aud firemen should do nothin «* to geti nto disgrace with the public , and they woufd be right . The chairman , at the meeting on Thursday , had shown them , what combination there was between the various companies and their locomotive superintendants to put down those in their employ . He admitted that , " with the greatest kindness , other companies had taken first-rate men off the foot-plates of their own engines , and sent them off to work on tbe Eastern Counties . " The same systein was working on other lines , and the engine drivers and firemen of every other line knew not how soon it might be their turn to be served in
tho same way as those of the Eastern Counties had been . It therefore behoved them all to look out . Depend upon it , if-any of them backed out and crouched to Mr . Gooch , he would grind them to the very earth . Let them not despair ; depend upon it the men were rife for a movement on other lines ; and if the locomotive superintendents would hurl thunderbolts at those placed under them , depend upon it they would soon have those thunderbolts hurled back again at tbeir feet . A letter bad been received by the committee from Leeds that morning , which proved how little was needed to set the matter going . There was tyranny on other lines as well as the Eastern Counties , and it required a
very little spark to raise the flame , and consume the whole mass of tyranny and oppression . ( Cheers . ) At the request of the meeting the chairman read the letter which had been received that morning from Leeds . It stated that a meeting of the enginemen and firemen of all the lines of railway running into Leeds had been held in that town , and that a resolution had been unanimously come to , that if the authorities of the Eastern Counties did not come to an amicable settlement with the men , they would take measures to stop every line in the country , and they would then teach such locomotive superintendents as Messrs . Gooch and Carberry ( the locomotive superintendent of the York and North Midland line ) how to treat men placed under their control . The meeting was then adjourned .
In Accordance With A Resolution Passed A...
In accordance with a resolution passed at a meeting of the late engine-drivers and firemen upon the Eastern Counties Railway , held at the George Inn , in Stratford , a letter , of which the following is a copy , was addressed to the chairman and directors , and delivered tothe secretary ( Mr . Roney ) on Monday last , in order that it might be laid before the board at the weekly meeting , on the following day ( Tuesday ) : — TO THE HON . THE _nrtnuftv _ n > _DIRECTOBS OF THEEASTEBN
_COUKTIES _RAU . WAT . Gentlemen , —It is with deep regret on our part that a dispute should have arisen between the superintendent , Jlr . Gooch , and us , which has made a great sacrifice both of the interests ol your property and our labour . We therefore , after calm consideration of tlie circumstances ofthe dispute in question , cannot Out acknowledge that our proceedings have been much too precipitate , and justifies us in n aking an honourable compromise with you . Wc therefore respectfully ask for your decision as to the resolutions forwarded through Air . Ashcroft on Saturday the 17 th inst ., or whether you will entertain any part of them . Wc also heg to add , that a deputation will attend at your offico on Tuesday morning to an ait your decision . We are , gentlemen , your obedient servants , ( Signed ! Thomas Hope J . Stater . J . ItEES , Vlscest Grakbt .
A deputation of tbe men attended accordingly on Tuesday , at tbe Bishopsgate station , but tbe board declined to sue the men , and they were told that an official answer would be sent to their communication . Immediately on receipt of the answer from the directors , a meeting of the men was convened at the usual place , the George Inn , Siratford , when the chairman , Mr . Hope , said he had received the following answer to the offer they had made to the directors : — Eastern Counties _Bathvay Office , _Bishopsgate-station , Loudon , 27 th _August . Sir , —I heg to hand you , on the other side , au extract from the minutes of ihe board ofthis date . I am , iir , yonr obedient servant , ¦ To Mr . Thomas Hope . C . P . Koxev . Extract from the minutes of the board , of the 27 th of August , 1850 : —
Read a letter , signed by T . Hope , J . Slater , J . Bees , and Vincent Granby , late _enaiue-drivers in the company ' s service , llesoived , that the late engine-drivers and firemen be inf . irmed , that if any of them apply to Mr . Gooch to be appointed in this coroitany ' s service , their applications will be considered as vacancies offer , but the staff of the company ' s engine-drivers- and firemen is at present completed . The Chairman said , ho regretted very much that tne communication they had thought it advisable , under tbe circumstances , to make to their late employers , had not produced a more satisfactory result . He could only , however , advise them to act as they had hitherto done during the unfortunate misunderstanding that had occurred , conduct themselves peaceably and quietly , and on no account to interfere in any manner with ihe new drivers , or with any of the works on the line . They must let
the public judge . ( Hear , hear . ) . Before they separated , Le bad to call their attention to a letter he had received from Edward Ladd Butts , Esq ., chairman of tbe company , who had presided at the meeting of tbe shareholders , held at the London Tavern , on Thursday last . It would be recollected that at that meeting Mr . Betts made certain charges severely affecting their characters , and imputing to them the commission of malicious acts previously to their leaving the company ' s employment . They ( the late engine drivers and firemen ) met these charges promptly , and at a meeting hastily held at the Black Lion , _Bishopsgate-street _, they unanimously passed a resolution emphatically repudiating litem . In obedience to the terms of that resolution , the committee wrote a respectful letter to the chairman of the company , requesting him to furnish them with the numbers of the various
engines said to have been in any way tampered with , or to hare their gauge-glasses broken . To tbat letter , respectfully addressed to Mr . Betts , that gent ' _-emau had sent the following reply : — . Preston Hall , Aug . 2 « h , 1850 . Sir , —In reply to your letter , which reached me here today , tlie directors , as soon as they can definitely ascertain and prove by evidence tlie parties who have been guilty of susli wilful _mkchief , will not fail to inflict on them the just and severe punishment the law affords for such conduct , and which they hope tobe enabled to do as a warning tb alt future cases of tin ' s character . I am , sir , yours obediently , _Edwabd L . Beits , Chairman . To Mr . J . Hope . Tbe Chairman said the meeting could perceive
that the letter of Jlr , Betts failed altogether to afford them the information they desired , and which they thought they were entitled to expect . Although a very sweeping charge had been made against the characters of tbe late enginemen and firemen , the answer , as far as they were concerned , was altogether vague . He could only express his deep regret that such charges had been made , and he again , for his own part , and on the part of the men , entirely dtnied that they were well founded . Hehad only again to impress upon his fellow-workmen tbe uecessity of their continuing so to conduct themselves as to obtain < he approval ofthe pnblic . He was happy to inform them tbat letters had been received from some ( of the shareholders , expressing a warm interest in their favour , and several gentlemen had called at tbe committee room , influenced by similar feelings .

Guildhall. — Atiempikd Suicidss. — Sarah...
GUILDHALL . — Atiempikd _Suicidss . — Sarah Parker was placed at the bar before Alderman Challis charged with . being drunk and disorderly , and while in that state attempting to throw , herself out of window with the felonious intention of committing suicide . —Police Constable 284 stated tbat he was on duty in Aldersgate-street , about twenty minutes to three o ' clock on Monday , when he heard screams of " Police . " On proceeding to the house whence the cries appeared to come , ho found that they resulted from a disturbance at 35 , Edmuiid ' snlaee , Aldersgate-street . While ho stood outside listening to ascertain if the disturbance _iras one that required his interference , his ears were saluted with reiterated cries of " Murder" and " Police , "
apparently uttered by a female Yoice . Being no longer in doubt he rushed up stairs into tbo firstfloor , and on opening the back room door , he saw prisoner standing in front of the open window in a most excited state , making use of wild gestures , and alternately screaming " Murder" and " _ olice " at intervals . On perceiving witness standing in the doorway she ( prisoner ) immediately threw herself headlong out of the window , but he , ( the officer ) springing forward at the instant caught her by the hinder part of the . dress as she was falling , aud pulled her baok . He then conveyed her to the station . —Andrew Down , the landlord of the house , said the prisoner lodged with him . She had the first-fioor . —Alderman Challis : Did you know what
kind of character she was when you let her the apartments ? Witness : Yes , she was introduced to me by another female of the same class , as being a very decent and quietly disposed girl . —Alderman Challis : Have you any more ofthe Bamekindof females lodging in your house ? Witness * . les , your worship , I have three altogether ; but I do not allow any one else to lodge with them . —Alderman Challis : Do you know that you ave liable to be indicted for harbouring improper characters and keeping a bad house ? , Witness : I was not aware that I was doing wrong . But I will act upon your information , and discontinue it . Prisoner came home drunk , and witness assisted her up to her own apartments and was abused in consequence . The
screams were uttered by the prisoner because witness persisted in having her placed in her bed-room . When the officer came up , she attempted to get out of the window head foremost , but was saved by the officer ' s presence of mind , in rushing to her assistance . —Alderman Challis : What rent do you pay for the house in which prisoner lives ? Witness : I pay £ 28 a year . —Alderman Challis * .. And what rent do these unfortunate females pay you for that part of the house occupied by them ? Witness : Tho prisoner at the bar pays me 20 s . per week for the first floor , and the other two 12 s , and 10 s , per week individually . —Alderman Challis :. Then you are really acting in a most disgraceful manner towards these poor girls . You pay a rental of only £ 28 a year for the
whole house , and charge them for only a part the enormous sum of £ 110 a year . * Eo considered it shameful that the witness should take advantage of the position of these poor creatures , to live upon the proceeds of their prostitution . He would take care to have him indicted , if he continued keeping an improper house . As for the prisoner , he would discharge her , and he hoped sho would never be brought up before him again . —The prisoner was then discharged . Charge op Robbebt . —W . Clayton was brought up for final examination , charged with stealing a £ 40 Bank of England note , a £ 10 ditto , and £ 10 in
gold and silver , the monies of Mrs . Jane Lawrence , of 38 , Radnor . street , St . Luke ' s , about seven years ago . —Alderman Challis said that great obstacles had been thrown in the way of prosecutin g this case by the negligence and mismanagement of the Camberwell Savings * Bank . And under these circumstances he would remand the prisoner till the following day for the depositions to be prepared , when he would be committed for trial , and bail accepted , himself in £ 100 , and two substantial and respectable householders as sureties in £ 50 each , for his appearance to answer the charge at the Old Bailey .
An Incorrigible Youth . —Henry Williams ( who was charged a short time ago at this court , at the instigation of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , with wantonly and cruelly killing a cat , ) was placed at the bar on a charge of entering the house of Mrs . Jane Kiddle , of 19 , Clothfair , and stealing five and a half feet of water pipe weighing about _lOibs . and value about * 2 s . Oil . — Jane Kiddle said that , about seven o ' clock on Tuesday morning , she heard a noise in the cellar , and requested her daughter to go down and seo what was the matter . The daughter , being afraid to go down , went in search of a policeman . Witness then went to the top of the stairs and called out " Who is there V Prisoner answered " Me , ma'm . " When the officer arrived they went down the cellar ,
where the prisoner rushed past , and succeeded in gaining the street . He was followed as far as Smithfield , when ho was apprehended . On searching the back cellar , the water pipe was found lying in one corner cut iuto about seven or eight pieces , one of which had a brass tap attached to it . The officer was proceeding to examine the front cellar to see if any more of the leaden pipe had been cut away , when prisoner , anticipating his object , said "No , that is all . "—Springate , tho gaoler , said that the prisoner had been several times convicted of felony , and that he had been in tho Compter , in Giltspur-street , twice within the last six months . Alderman Challis said he considered him an incorrigible character , but as he was so young he would give him one more chance , and send him for three months to the treadmill .
_MASSIOK-HOTJSE . _—Chabob op _Steausg a Watcu , _ttc—Thomas Doyle , a weather-beaten old man , who was said to have been deeply concerned in Stock Exchange matters some years ago , and to have " stagged , " was charged with a robbery . —Mr . Manuel Castello , a member of the Stock Exchange , whose office is in Hercules-passage , Old Broad-street , said : Five months ago , I lost a watch and chain from a desk in my office . The chain produced I believe to be the one I lost . On the Saturday' before the robbery , a man like the prisoner was in my * office , and I gave him sixpence ; and ou the day of the robbery the same man , I wa 3 informed by my brother , was seen coming down the stairs of the office , —A person in the employment of
Mr . King , pawnbroker , in High Holborn , produced a gold guard chain , whicb he said had been pawned at the shop on tho 20 th of _February last for 10 s . Next day he lent Ss . more upon tbe chain to the person who pawned it . —An assistant to the pawnbroker in Skinner-street produced a gold watch which had been pledged at the shop on tbe 27 th of February , for £ 3 3 s . —Jarvis ( 014 City police force ) said : I went to the Windmill public-house , in Nicholas-lane , and saw the prisoner there . I called hiin out and told him who I was , and that I took him for stealing a gold watch and chain on the 26 th of February last . He said , " Good God , am I betrayed into your hands ? " Ho said , " I understood I was to go round to tho pawnbroker and settle it . " I then took him to the station-house and searched
hira . He was cautioned that what he might say would be taken down . He said on the way to the station-house tbat he had pawned the guard on thc 26 th for 10 s , and that on the 27 th ho had got 8 s . more upon it , at Mr . King ' s , High Holborn . He did not say any thing about the watch . —The prisoner said , upon beiug asked whether he wished to make any statement , " I havo nothing to say , sir . " —Committed for trial . A Specimen or the "Navvv" Class . —William M'Donald was charged under the following circumstances : —Mr . T . Patten , superintendent of the men employed by the new gas company , throughout the City of London , said : I am in the employment of Mr . Itigby , the contractor of the Great Central
Gas Company . I charge the defendant with having neglected his work . When he ought to have been in Seething-lane at work , I met him in Tower-hill , and asked him why he was not at his work . He was in drink , and called me a blackguard , used the most abusive language to me , gathered together a crowd , and followed me for some distance , and I was obliged to place him in the custody of a policeman . —Alderman Gibbs : Well , defendant , how can you justify this conduct ? The dofendant : Why , ho is nothing but a timekeeper , and he ought to stick to that ; but he followed me about as if be was my master . —Alderman Gibbs : You ought to have been at work at a particular place when ho saw you . . The defendant : No particular place , at all . We are' at work all through the City .-Alderman Gibbs : Yes , all who are in the City know that verv
well . ( Laughter . ) The defendant : Well , he says I was drunk ; but we all know him as the " Drunken Time-keeper , " although he takes such liberties with my character . Bo has no right to order me about . —The policeman said there were some of the men employed in the works about Thames street who seemed to take delight in _fighting , and a great many new black eyes wero to be seen at daylight in the neighbourhood . -Tho defendant : Why , you don ' t say I have black eyes , do yon ? That's another lie . —Alderman Gibbs Yon have , by your conduct , confirmed the account given of you ; and you must pay a penalty of 10 s ., or eo to Bridewell for fourteen days . The defendant I hope you won t send me to prison till my work is over . It will be done in a day or two ; wait till tben . —Committed .

o clock- that morning , when she w . ts aroused from her sleep by the sound of heavy blows in their room , followed by faint moans in a woman ' s voice , and on making her way into the apartment , she found the wife lying senseless on the bed , with her clothes and person covered with blood , with which the panel of the door and flooring oi tho room were also stained in numerous places .

blow upon the left jaw from some person behind . — Mr .

I Capture or a Sea Oow .-By tho arrival Of the steamer Monmouth , Captain Freeborn , from Indian River , we learn that Messrs . Clark and Burnham succeeded m capturing a sea cow on the 17 th inst ., near Jupiter Inlet Florida . The animal was caught jn a net , is-a male , and _ntne feet three inches in length _y Tbey _ succeeded in taking it alive , and have shipped it to Charleston m the schooner Charleston , with tho intontion of exhibiting it at the north during- the ensuing summer , and of bringing it : south next . winter . A person who saw it describes it as a remarkably curious animal , \ was very wild when first captured , but soon became quite tame , and now eats freely of grass , & c . Its tail i 3 in the shape of a fan , and is two feet five _fliPTIinw _nu i 0 «; _rt- _ t . ., ' ¦ _« _..
inches broad . It has no hind feet ; its fore feet are similar to those ofa turtle , and it has nails like those of the human band , but no claws , Its mouth and nose resemble those of a cow ; it has teeth on tho lower jaw , but none on the upper . Previous to tho capture of the ono , abovo . described , they sue- ' ceodedin taking a female , but it was so largo , and i becoming entangled in the net mailo such desperate , ; exertions to escape , that the captors wero _cqiil ; r polled to shoot it . They preserved tbe skin ,..: hdwT _- ' ever , which is fifteen feet long . The persons whoi made the capture wero in our city some weeks ago : making the necessary arrangements for their enterprise , and expressed tbeir determination _tomake _* a , capture . Ihey have succeeded , and will no doubt be amply rewarded by tbe exhibition of tbeir great ;
natural curiosity . Barnum , of the American Musdiim , is said to havo offered them , if successful , 10 , 000 dols . for . their prize . This i 3 tho second instance within our knowledge that the sea cow has been captured , Some years ago , during tho Florida war , Colonel , Harney shot two of tbem in the Everglades . He preserved the hides , and they were exhibited in St . Augustine as a great curiosity . Wo saw a rib of one of thc animals yesterday in possession of a gentleman of this city , to whom it was presented by Colonel Harney . He informed us that he had partaken of the flesh , and pronounced it remarkably tender and palatable , far superior to beef . Mr . Clark , one of the captors , is a resident of Florida , a highly respectable gentleman , and well known in this city . —Savannah News
