Villain.—John

O'Sullivan, the brutal Irishman, who kicked bis wife tb death, at Fort Hamiiton, last ail hi did, was sentenced yesterday, to Sing-Sibg, for twenty-five years. At the closed/tie Judge's remarks, Sullivan said with a Silbehrig laugh: "You might as well give nie ft sentence for life." And in this opinion we think the public will entirely concur. These ldw, besotted fellows seem to have no more sensibility than a codfish. Hammering stones at Sing-Sing is quite too good for them. To clcan sinks with a chain and ball at their heels, would be a more appropriate punishment for them.—New York Mirror.

New Orleans Delta tells a story of

a man in that city, who, being about to enter upon a doubtful speculation, disposed of all his real estale, and deposited all the proceeds thereof in the bank, in the name of his wife, that the money might be beyond the reach of creditors, should his speculation prove to be unprofitable.

the Elephant went up the lake

on the steamer iLady Elgin, a few days since, we remarked that the huge traveler might be a somewhat ugly customer on board a boat. It appears that on the pas* sage the wheelsman suddenly found difficulty in changing the boat's course.— For, tug and pull, and bear on as much as he would, the wheel would not budge an inch. "Port helm!" cried the Captain. "Aye, aye, sir," responded the wheelsman.

But still the helm was "hard a starboard," and the boat was taking a turn in the middle of the lake. The Captain swore, and the mate made for ihe wheeihouse. Pushing the iriaa aside, he took bold himself, it was of no use—the mate was no mojre successful than the wheelsman. "Port helm Can't you see where the boat is going shouted the Captain.

Y. Mason has transmitted to

Mr. Marcy, Secretary of State, a letter from Alez. Vattemere, the great Frenchman, who has done so much for the diffusion of knowledge by international exchanges, stating that by his will he leaves $100,000 to any person who discovers the "means of curing Asiatic Cholera or the cause of the pestilence." To give publicity to the fact, the publication has been made. The power of awarding the prize has been conferred on the Institute of France, and the interest of it, until it has been awarded, is to constitute an annual prize, to be given to those who advance the knowledge of the cause of cholera and its remedv.

Preparations

Havana—The

Governor General of Cuba is preparing to defend himself against the combined forces of the filibusters and Creole insurrectionists. A letter from Havana says: '•The artillery companies have been sent to Moro Castle, tmd guns have been mounted on the diHuent fortifications around Havnna, nnd the Governor has at last decided upon arming 4000 blacks.— These Iroops are to be officered by whites, and the sergeants are to be whites also. By this I judge that the government cannot rely upon the Spanish white population for effectual support, or it may be a move to form a nucleus for a black army to convert Cuba into nn African possesion in case the government of Spam cannot be maintained. These regiments are to come from Porto Rico, which, with the 4000 black troops, will raise the forct^ here to 18,000.'' -H
