Hotel nutter, was fined

85 and costs, yesterday, for violating the ordinance, relating to runners at the Depots.

The Indianapolis papers contain an account of a most fiendish, attempt to destroy life and property, by placing obstructions on the track of the Lafayette and Indianapolis R. R., near the latter city. As it happened a gravel train was thrown from the track, injuring several, which circumstance alone saved the passenger train, containing perhaps 1000 passengers, returning from the Democratic Mass meeting, and thus preventing a more disastrous accident than has yet been on record.

The Louisville Journal denies that Henry Clay ever uttered the following sentiment: "I repeat it, sir. I never can and never will, and no earthly power will make me vote directly or indirectly to spread slavery over any territory where it does not exist.— Never while reason has a seat in my brain—never, while my heart sends the vital fluid through my brain —never."

An Artic Expedition, under

Dr. Rea, fitted out by the Hudson Bay Company, has started from Great Slave Lake for the mouth of the river where the remains of Sir John Franklin's party were found, to ascertain mare fully, if possible, the circumstances attending their sad fate.

Schooner Lost.

CHICAGO, August 29.—The schooner Knickerbocker, Capt. Richards, capsized off Sheboygan, Sunday at noon. The vessel turned bottom upward, and Capt. Richards and two of the crew were drowned. Two reached the shore safely.

The Knickerbocker is owned in MilWatokie, and was bound thither with a cargo of bark.

The vessel will prove a total loss and is uninsured.

Population of Chicago CHICAGO, August 29.—The census of the South division of Chicago is completed. The population of that division is thirty thousand fifty-six.

The population of the same division in June, 1864, was 34,683; in June 1850, 12'843.

Sweaborg.

The telegraph of to-day announces the taking of Sweaborg. Below we give an account of the position of this fortress;

Sweaborg commands the entrance to the bay of Helsingfors, and lies immediately opposite Revel on the north side of the Gulf of Finland, and about fifty miles distant. It has been called the Giberalter of the North. It is an immense fortress, resting upon seven islands,which are connected by pontoons, mounting 800 cannon, and garrisoned by 15,000 men in time of peace. The importance of this place is, perhaps, greater than that of Revel, as its fall will be the prelude to that of Helsingfors, which contains one of the largest naval arsenals in the world, and is the greatest recruiting station of the Russian navy.

The province of Fenland is of great importance to Russia, for it is from thence, mostly, that she draws be suppose of sailors and timber, and the possession of Helsingfors, which is the capital of Finland, could not fail to annoy her exceedingly. The capture of Bomarsund exhibited the utter inability of the firmest masonry to withstand a heavy fire from cannon and we know of no reason why Sweaborg should not yield to the same inevitable fate. The works, indeed, are said to be blasted from solid rock, and may possess more strength than any masonry constructed by the hands of man but this can only retard, not avert, the resuit.

The object of the allies clearly is to sweep every vestige of Russian commerce from the Baltic and its tributaries by capturing, one after another, all the great fortresses of Russia. Sweaborg, Helsingfors and Revel taken, the road to Cronstadt and St. Petersburg may be guarded with a moderate fleet, and the oceanic commerce of Russia utterly annihilated.

To the American Party. The undersigned Committee of Correspondence, appointed at a meeting of the Delegates from the various States to the National Council at Philadelphia, held at the "Girard House," on the 15th day of June last, after a full interchange of opinion with each other, and upon consultation with friends in several States, deem it expedient that a National Convention be holden at an early day, to take such counsel and action as the circumstances may require.

We therefore recommend that such Convention be held in the city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, the 21st day of November next.

The Committee would urge on the State Council of every State approving of our purpose to take prompt measures to send a full delegation to said Convention, each State selecting the same number of delegates as it is entitled to votes in the Electoral College and in the

event that any State Council declines

or omits to elect delegates, the Commit-

or omits to elect delegates, the Committee suggests that local councils or individuals take such steps in the premis es as may be necessary to secure the allotted representation to said Convention.

To the consideration of these %nd kindred subjects, we cordially invite all, in any and every State, to meet together in the spirit of fraternal regard, take counsel of each other.

Predictions of the Weather. "A rainbow in the morning gives the shepherd warning." That 's, if the wind be easterly because it shows that the rain clouds are approaching the observer.

If at sunrise .or setting, the clouds appear of a lurid red color, extending nearly to the zenith, it is a sure sign of storms and gales of wind. "If the moon shows like a silver shield, be not afraid to reap your field. But if she rises haloed round, soon we'll tread on deluged ground." "A rainbow atnight is the shepherd's delight." This adage may always be a good sign, provided the wind be westwardly as it shows that the rain clouds are passing away. "When the rooks fly sporting high in the air, it shows that windy storms are near." "Evening red and the next morning gray, are certain signs of a beautiful day." "When the glow-worm ligh's her lamp, the air is always damp." "If the cock goes crowing to bed, he'll certainly rise with a watery head." "When black smiles cross your path, black clouds much moisture hath." "When the peacock loudly bawls, soon we'll have both rain and squalls." "When you see the gossamer flying, be ye sure the air is drying."

No BILL.—The Grand Jury of Cumberland county, Me., have refused to find a bill against Neal Dow, in the matter of the death of John Bobbins, in the liquor riot there. They have, however, indicted eight pr ten of the rioters.

The fusion movement now under the control and direct guidance of the leading abolitionists of New York, New England, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, meets with very little encouragement at the hands of the respectable portion of the old Whig leaders and the old Whiff press, notwithstanding the New York Courier's characteristic abandonment ol principles once ardentiv embraced and as ajrdently defended. The New York Commercial holds the following language:—Zr/ Am.

uIn

taken in our own State bv one of our most popular Whig leaders against fusion, and by the Hon. Franklin Dexter in Massachusetts, we learn that the Hon. R. C. Winthrop has also declared his resolve not to join the ultraists, but to remain firm to
