The Washington correspondent of the New York Times gives th? following on dits : From the report in the London Times of a recent hearing In one of the cases pending in relation to rebel property, heforj vice-Chancellor Wood, it appears that the recent newspaper commente m the United States in relation to the recent settlement, do injustice to Messrs. Morse and Gibbs, the officers by whom it was arranged. The arrangement provided for a eUtement under oath of all property under the control of Fraser. Trenholm & Co., and its transfer to the United States, snbject to legal hons thereon for advances, such liens not to be allowed beyond ?150,000. The whole legal lien was shown, by the sworn statement from the books of the firm named, to he ?270,000, or thereabouts. The Chancery suits brought to recover the property were to be dis? continued, each party paying its own costs. The property consisted chiefly of ships and of other property of a perishable character which, by the agreement, was to be at once sold, and the proceeds, ofter the discharge of the liens, paid to the United States. It is stated that after thia settlement, other rebel Agents voluntarily came forward and offered to surrender property, and thttt all or nearly all the rebel effects in Europe were about to be reduced, to the possession of the ' United States, withouc suit, when the settlements were suspended hy order of Mr. Seward. Vice Chancellor Wood is probably correct in surmising that some diplomatic reasons prevented the clos? ing of the arrangement in the form agreed upon. Judge Redfield, of Vermont, has been sent to England to confer with all parties, and his report will probably determine the final action of the Government. This arrangement is said to meet with the hearty concurrence of ali parties. THE IMPEACHMENT. The Judiciary Committee are still at work clos? ing np old business before commencing their ex? amination into the impeachment charges of Mr. Ashley. It is stated on good authority that no subp?onas have been issued for witnesses for that purpose, although the names of many <~t them have been obtained. Mr. Wilson in the House to I day emphatically announced that all the state ? ? _ menta regarding the action of the Committee h?re - ?* tolero published wore false, and refused to give ? ' -'t Bugntes)- insight into its designs. He caution Jtv ed the public against reports with reference to the operations of tho Committee. . Hiss ANN P. GSJNNTSOHAM, Begent of the Ladies? .

The yacht Henrietta has been" "offered to Prince LUBED, of England, as a gift, but declined, for easons set forth in the following correspondence : MB. BENNETT TO PRINCE ALFBED. OFF COWES. December 31, 1860. Your Icoyal Highness :-At Lord Lennox's din tor on Friday last you were pleased to match vour ' cht, the Viking, lo sail the Henrietta around the ale of Wight next August, for a cup worth one mildred pounds. I could not say so then, because '. was bound to make tho match proposed, but in act this arrangement will somewhat interfere with he disposition which I had determined to make if my vacht in case she should win the ocean race. ' beg that you will accept, as a New TOOT'S gift to n English yachtsman, irom an American yachts? man, tho Henrietta, as she now li is in perfect rder off Cowos; and I have instructed Captain iamuels to hold her subject to your orders. The unbounded hospitality with which tho Ame ican yachtimon have been received by all classes a England will always be remembered in the Urn? ed States with the warmest gratitude; and I sin eroly hope that you will not deprive mo of I ho pportunity of acknowledging this most cordial eception, by presenting the winning yacht to tho representativo of English yachtsmen. I have the honor to remain VOIT respectfully ours, J. G. BENNETT, Jo. PEKOE ALFBED TO MB. BENNETT. CLOBENOE HOUSE, ST. JAMES, January 22, 1867. Hear Mr. Bennett : I find it difficult to oxpress tow gratefully I appreciate tho kindly feeling (.liich dictated your letter of tho 31st ultimo, os roll as the splendid prosout which you offer to my cceptanco, but most of all the delicacy with which ou seek to diminish the personal obligation lin? er which you would lay me by giving to your gen rous offer an internat ional character. * It is, in eod. this last consideration only which has led io to hesitate in replying to your letter; for per anally it would have been impossible for mo to ccopt so costly a present. But I felt bound fully > consider the question in tho light in which you ere good enough to placo it; and if on roll con ideration I feel compelled to decline your gener? as offer, I trust that neither you, nor your gallant xnpetitors, nor your countrymen at largo, will elie ve that the yachtsmen of England less appre iate or lesa reciprocate tho fooling of good-fellow hip whioh prompted the offer. Tho Henrietta is a vessol which any man may be roud to possess; and I trust abo moy long con? nue in the hands in which she has accomplished 0 triomphant a snccess. We must do our best to nd a rival to her; and, in common with all Eng shracn, I sincerely hopo that such friendly rival y may bo tho only description of contest in which ur respective countries may ever be engaged. It as given na great pleasure to effer a cordial re eption to you and your companions in England, tl nd I feel assured*that if my professional duties p 1 command of ono of her Majesty's ships should p ver take mo to your shores, I should there meet ji n the part of my brother seamen with a reception ot less hearty than that which we have been appy to afford you here. Believe me, yours, sincerely, ALFBED. ;b IN THE forthcoming Atlantic Monthly for Fobru- fi ry is a stirring pronunciomento by Mazzini. It i one of the most eloquent and characteristic pro nctiorts which evor came from the pen of the tlustrious champion of Italian liberty. It is a cathing denunciation of King Victor Emanuel; a e view of the part which tho monarchy performed l the late war, of tho duties which it loft nnfulfill- 0 d, tho popular hopes which it thwarted, the hu- fi libations whioh it ignominiously endured, and the C rimes and blunders whioh it committed at every a top. That it rejected the assistance of the peo la, lest they should ecquire the consciousness of ?olunteers useless in the campaign, repressed or liscouraged insurrectionary movements in the tua trian territories, and fell into military mistakes nnumerable; that it yielded a shameful subservi >ncy to France, and accepted Italian territory as a lisgraceful alms from Napoleon; that it finally .est ed under a ruinous peace, a peace which carries vi th lt the necessity for another war-these are he chief counts in the indictment which the patri? otic leader brings against the King of Italy. BUMPUS TH A CHURCH.-Quite an excitement was .reated among the assembled brothers and sisters >f the congregation of Ebenezer Church on Sun- I lay in consequence of an affair which had well nigh proven that women of any complexion are langerons individuals to trifle with. A certain brother, of the aforesaid congregation, "feelin dat ;t was his duty to inform his bredren and sistren if everything whar went wrong about de church," publicly charged a sister with havjig stolen five lc liars from the church treasury and turned it aver to one brother J. W. Hunnicutt-of whom we aave heard as attempting to publish and keep up i printed sheet styled tho New Nation in some I Borner of this city. The charge was no sooner out | af the zealous brother's mouth than the accused levelled a pistol at his head, and denyins his in? famous charge, declared her intention of demol? ishing him. In ?moment her accuser was out of, sight, and overy member of the congregation was endeavoring to follow him. Tho scene for awhile j can better bo imagined than described, and it was some moments cefore quiet waa restored and the services could be carried cn.-Richmond Dispatch.. THE BLUE RIDGE RATLBOAD.-It will he intere3 fe? ing to our readers to learn that thor? is a proba? bility that that portion of tho road in Tonnessee will be placed under contract in a short time. When the charter was obtained, the State of Ten? nessee subscribed $16,000 POT mile, with $100,00.? for tho bridge at KnoxvUlo; amounting,, in the l aggregate, to $600,000. During the lost session of the Legislature of Tennessee, ?300,000 was given by the State, in addition to her former subscrip? tion. Besides, Blount County also made a liberal subscription, which is now available. The authority ls good foi saying that operations will bo commenced at Knoxville at an early day, for the completion of tho road in Torin easee-a distance of fifty miles.' And that it ia confidently boho ved that Gie means will be obtained ere long o complete the whole road.-Reousee Courier.

A DESPERADO DRIVEN TO HTS FORTIFICATIONS-A MA? RION comrrr OUT-THBOAT-HE FIRES UPON AND Kl LES ONE MAN AND MOBTALLY WOUNDS AN OF? FICER. {From the Louisville Journal, 21st.] William Brown, who c*.-.tainly, if any man, do server to bo ranked as the successor of the noto? rious John A. Murrell, tho Tennessee land pirate, murderer and desperado, has long ravaged Marion. Taylor and the surrounding counties. Tho mur? ders ho has committed are innumerable, and the robborios ho has perpetrated cannot bo enumerat? ed. Ho has been tho t .rror of the section in which ho li voa, and no Scotch cateran ever crossed tho Tweed into Northumberland, and "lifted" honest Saxon farmer's cattle, caused more terror than the cry in those sections of our State where j Brown operotod, that "Bill Brown is in tho neigh? borhood I" Kob Boy McGregor^ when ho made a raid into the North of Eng lana, spared men, women and children, but made a decided demonstration upon bords of fat cattle. "Catcrans must be fod," was Rob Boy's motto. "Neighbors must be blod," was the war-cry of Brown. When ho went to the house of Mr. Absalom Jones, and borrowed his horse without his loaTO, Bill quietly choked Mrs. Jones until she was insensible, to teop her from raising m outcry, while her husband, oqaally as quietly, md much more valorously, "niado for tall timber." William Whaloy objected to Bill Williams' borrow ng his watch without first giving him a pawn? broker's ticket in return. Billy was so in ;cnscd at such au unreasonable demand, that ho really Wowed Mr. Whaler's hoad into infinitesimal mantities. John Eobcrts' horse next captivated lis fancy, and because John raised objections to a ' .wap" in which ho could see no gutd pro quo, ?Oly politely inserted a Texas bible between his ibs, and John fell upon tho ground a palo, cold, md bloody corpse. Thomas Jonkins, an adjunct of the freedmen's iureau, was tho nort person that fell under the ali ant Billy's supervision. Thomas bod a silver Ictachod lover and several portraits of Mr. Chase ii his vost pockets. Billy was bothered about tho imo of day and wanted a time-piece. He was fili? ng up a photograph album, and Mr. C's photos rouldconic just to his band; and_Bi^ninniiJo ah!" TJifiKs-xua-ucuVdr," and then piously cut his hroat, acting upon tho principio that "dead men ell no talos." But it would be useless for us to go on and cnu aorate all of our hero's exploits. Suffice it to Bay, hat he has been guilty of crimes enough to hang lalf a dozen better men than he. Wo hope that LC will trot his share of hanging, but that has notti? ng-to do with tho affair of last Friday night. On the night mentioned, James Mrrrpnv, a con table, who bold a warrant for thc arrest o? Brown, ummoncd Samuel Bromfield, a son of James Iromfiold, of Bromfield Station, on thc Lebanon (ranch Extension, to assist him in tho arrest. Srown lives in a sequestered village called Lynch? burg, in Marion County. His house is barricaded nd hos loopholes cut in its walls after the manner f D. BooniTB and other pioneer's domiciles. When ho officer and his posso approached tho house brown fired upon them, instantly lolling young bromfield and mortally wounding Constable Mur ihy. As Judge Lynch has been holding regular terms f his court in the bailiwick, we would not be sur irised if in to-morrow's journal wo did not have ho satisfaction to record that Mr. Brown has boen ound satisfactorily suspended on a limb. Typographical Errors. Mr. W. L. STONE, of New York, lately delivered very interesting and valuable lecture in that city, pon the "Early History of Newspapers in Ame ica." In the course of the lecture occurs the fol awing : The New York Gazette was commenced hy Way? lan. In 1776 Wayman was arrested and ?mpris ned for a contempt of tho Assembly, upon no ?ier charge than that of two typographical errors a printing the speech of Sir Henry Moore, the lovernor of tho Colony. One of these errors con isfced in printing the word never for eoer, by reason f which the meaning of the sentence was revers? er. Nothing can ho more annoying to authors nd publishers than errors of tho Press; and yet hose who are unskilled in the art of printing can carcory conceive tho difficulty of avoiding thom. ?o arrive at ordinary accuracy in a daily nowspa ier requires the reading and correction*of at least wo proofs; and even then an editor who has not lecome case-hardened by long endurance, will ften be shocked at the transformation of sense ato nonsense, or the murdering of ono of his hap tiest conceits, or the plucking cf thc point from no of his neatest paragraphs, by a typographical rror. In the early stages of the art of printing, rrors were far more numerous than in hooka of iiodern execution. It was then very common for , volume of ordinary size to contain page upon iago of errata at the close. One of the most re? markable instances cf this kind was the curious rcatise of Edward Leigh on "Religion and Leatn-.' ag," published in 1C5C. At tho close of tho work rere three folio pages of corrections in ^tar minute tyrie It is a singular fact that tho edition f the Latin Vulgate by trop-8ixtus V., although arefully superintended, sheet, by sheet, by His iolmess. has ever remained .without a rival in ypographical inaccuracy. Still moro curious was he fact that tho Pope, in thc plenitude of his lontifical infallibility, prefixed to the first volume bull of excommunication against any and every irinter who, in reprinting tho work, "should ever aako any alterations in ino text. Among instances f typographical errors tho lecturer gave the fol awing : A lad in a printing office, who knew more bout type-setting than ho did of the Greek my hology, in looking over a poem they were print ag, came upon tho nomo of Hecate, one of tho tay divinities of the lower world, occurring in a ne like this : "She shall reign thc Hecate of the oepost Hell." Tho boy, thinking he had dis overed an error, ran to the master printer, and iqv<ired eagerly whether, there was ? in cat. Why, no, you blockhead,** was the reply. Away ont the boy to tho press-room and extracted tho bjectional letter. But fancy the horror of both oct and publisher when the poem appeared with tie line-"Sho sholl reign the HE Cat of the deep st Hell." This, however, waa not so bad as tho ?annor in which the printers treated Miss Landon, a speaking of it she says : And when I had ritten "full blown roses" the nasty things mado ; "full blown noses." Benjamin Franklin once utting to press a "form" of tho Common brayer, ho letter c in the following passage dropped out nperceived by him, 'we sholl all be changed in ho twinkling of an eye.' " When tho book app?ar d, to the horror of tho devout worshippers, the assoge read : "We shall all bo hanged m the winkling of an eye." Franklin has been snspect d of having done this intentionally, but it ap? eare to me without good reason. Bat, after all, hen it is considered of bow many separate and linute nieces of metal a book form or the page cf | newspaper is composed, the wonder is that the rrors of tho Press aro not for more numerous Lian they aro. A single page of one of oar largest apera cannot contain less than 315,000 separate ie ce s of metal, each of which, must be nicely ad- | is ted in its own {.roper place, or error and confut? ion will ensue. A MILLION PEBSONS STAB VED TO DEATH.-A Cal? atta correspondent of tho London Times, D?cern? er 7th, fives some painful d?tails of the recent traine in tho'district of Orissa, in India. A gov- ] mment commissioner has prepared a report, of hich it is said ; A picture more heart-rending, facts more hid ous, could not be given. The commissioner esti? mates the deaths in Orissa alone at 500,000 te 600, 00, and in some places he admits that three jurths of the population have been carried off. . irissa hod five millions. Add the mortality of \ lidnapore, which was as severely visited; of Gan im and Chota Nagore, which wore terribly, yet lore mildly dealt with; of Calcutta, whose hospi ricts, where "tho seq?eld?^&t least", of^st*a^?ti6S" arried off many, and remember that the deaths re still going on at the rate of a hundred a day, nd yon will agree with the rough estimate gener- I illy accepted here, that the number of victims will C lot be under a million. ? DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.-The Newport Express ' contains an account of an "nnforttmata affair" oc mrring at Newport Center, which they character ze, in the language of Mrs. Partington, as a new I nethod of "dispensing with the Gospel," and that ? lieferen t parties have attempted of late "To prove their doctrine orthodox, By apostolic blows sud knocks," The summary of the transaction is, that Bev. M. Bollard, on tho afternoon of the 8th inst,, stepped < into tho blacksmith shop of one Call, whose religi? ous views are those of the Adventists, when a con? troversy arose as to the time and place of holding a. public discussion cn tho subject of their different religious beliefs, and becoming excited, Bullard coming up behind Call, seized him, threw him Sown, striking his head upon a sled standing in the shop. Bullard asked him if he would stop preaching his doctrine, and answering in the neg? ative, he struck him with his fist about the head and face. Call crying "murder," and calling for he p. The sequel of the affair is that Ballard was fined $15 and cost, amounting in all to $24.37, and an appeal taken. A suit has been brought for pri? vate damages, and Bollard , put under bonds of $500, to appear at the County Court. Ballard has complained of Call for disturbing a religious moot? ing, and ho was bound np in the sum of $200. Bol? lard has also bronght a suit for private dunages, for the som of tlOOO.

SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, ) EMCIINEEEIXG DgPABTXEOT, J YALE COLULOX, November 16, 1866. ) I hsvo always recommended the'Faber Polygrado Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for both ornamen? tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough trial of the American Polygrode Lead Pencils, man? ufactured by the American Load Pencil Company, New York, I Hud them superior to any pencil in use, even to the Faber or the old English Cumberland Load Pencil, being a superior pencil for sketching', ornamental and mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead pencil. These pencils are very finely graded and have a very smooth lead; oven the softest pencils hold the point well; they sro all that can bo desired in a pencil. It gives mo great pleasure to be ablo to assure Americans that they will no long?r be compelled to depend upon Germany or any other foreign market for pencils. LOUIS BAIL, Professor of Drawing, ?ic.
