Hayti. By an arrival at Savannah, later in ttlligence has been received from Hayti. The Roval Gozette of the 9ih contains the following inlelligence in relation to the dis turbed state ofllnyli: I'rom a gentleman who arrived in Ihe liwliena from Turks Island, and who visited St. Domingo on his way here, we lenin that, during his short stay in that Island, he had visited both the Spanish and llaylien enmps, and gives it as his opinion that although the Hartien army in point of numbers exceeded that of Ihe Spanish party, yet the latter appeared to be ki better discipline rrom this, he thinlis that wcie a pitched battle to ensue, the Haytiens wosld probably get the worst of it. There had been a (-light skiunish, but nothing very serious hail transpired.

The Van Buren (Ark.) Intelligencer re- coris a rare instance of presence of mind and ex- trasrdinary courage in a young lady of that neiRhborhood. Mrs. Steward, of thnt County, and a niece, a young girl, were fording Frog Payou on one horse; the stream was high and the current very rapid. They were accompanied by Miss Steward, the daughter, on another horse. In Ihe act of fording the stream, Mrs.

Steward an! the girl were thrown from the horse, and the litde girl floated down some fifty yards. Miss Steward, the daughter, very coolly rode to the opposite bank, sprung from her horse into the stream, swam after and rescued them both, bear-ing them safely to the shore. The little girl was not caught until after Misa Steward had swam absut fifty yards. The Last New Orleans Duei The New Orleans papers say that Commodore Riebaud is no, only not mortally wounded, but considered out of danger. The ball of his adversary did not pass through his body, but along the surface unler the skin, round to the stump of his right arn, whence it was extracted by the physician The right arm of C.

R. was amputated severs yes rs since' close to the shoulder, and in the duel he shot wilh his left hand. He is a Frenchman, was formerly in the Mexican service, and dis- tiiguished in the defence of Tampico, when at- Ucked by the Spaniards in 1829. Good News tor thc Navy-Yards Navy Appropriations.

II. Ccrtia, of Kick West, on the Alabama R.ver. stale that bis negroes found a barrel drifting dowa tbe river, and open ng it, discovered a ha-iraa body. Several portions of it were missing, they had Ihe appearance t4 having beca cut aay by a keen instrument. It was evidently cf laesMkitex.

The cask was a ctnimoa whiskey Urr.li it bad been inspected at New Orleans, branded Lmiis and was marked ia writ letter, J. P. The Doctor thought tbe body was a aooject ts-rnared lor diStML-oa. With Ihrs impreuioa, was baned w.Uwut aa being betde itJ of a set to THE GOOD OLD PLOUGH. Let them ling who may of (he battle Tray, And (lie deed that have long since past Let them chant in praise of the tar whose dsys Are spent on the oeean vast I would render to ihc.e ill (he warship you please, I would honor them even new, Cut IM give far more from my Imrt's full store To the enuse of the Good Old Plough.

Let them land the noli when the music floats Through (heir bright and Iheir glittering hallss While the anmui twirl of the hair's bright curl Round the shoulder ofbrauty full But dearer to ine it the song from the tree, And the rich and blossoming nought Oh thr are the sweet which the rustic greets, As he fo lows the Good Old Plough. Then how jocund the on a it comes along, From the ploughman's lusty throat Did the hunter's shout ever yet fire out To the brown woods a rncrritT note Tho' he follows no hound yet his day is erown'd With a triumph as food, I trow, As though amlered head at his feet lay dead Inite.J of the Good Old Plough. Full many there be that we daily see With a selfish and hollow pride, Whom the Ploughman' lot in his humble eot, With a scornful look deride. Yt I'd rather take, aye, a hearty shake From his hand than to wealth I'd bow For the honest grasp of thnt hand's rough clasp Has stood by the Good Old Plough. All honor be then to these grey old men, When at last they are bow'd with toil Their warfare then o'er, why, they battle no more, For they've conquered the stubborn soil.

And the ehaplet each wears are hil silver hairs, And ne'er shall the victor's brow With a laurelled crown to the grave go down, Like these sons of the Cood Old Plough. MISCELLANY. If there be a pleasure on earth which angel cannot enjoy, and which they might almost envy man the possession of, it is the power of relieving distress. If there be a pain which devils might pity man for enduring, it is the death-bed re-' lection thnt we have possessed the power of do. ing good, but that we have abused and perverted it to purposes of ill.

Louis the Fourteenth having become a king by the death of his minister, Mnzarin, set op the tradeof a conqueror on his account. The devil treated him ns he dues voung gamesters, and bid vert high for him at first, by granting him unex. ampled sueees he finished by punishing him with reverses equally unexampled. Thus, that sun which he had taken for his device, although it rose in cloudless majesty, was doomed to set in obscurity, tarnished by the smoke of his detents. and tinged with the blood ol his suojecis.

Much has been said and written, and many are the little anecdotes record H. nf the liberality and determination of th Duke of Wellington. A striking instance of the former occurred a short time ago. A needy ag-4 riculturist, being compelled by necessity to adver tise a small farm, adjoining the rarlt at strain-fieldsaye for sale, his Grace's steward made an offer for it, which was readily accepted; and when the Duke, a few day afterwards, arrived from town, the steward acquainted his grace of the judicious purcnaso ne nauereu iiinucii us nnu made, adding, doubtless with inward satisfaction, that he was happy to inform his grace that the land had been bought cheap. "Cheap, air!" exclaimed the noble duke, "cheap, sir! I want no man's land cheap.

Let two proper persons be immediately appointed to survey and vbIub the farm." Crest fallen and sorely disappointed, the Steward returned to fulfil his grace's direction, and at the next interview handed his grace the report of the surveyers, who had estimated the value of the land at several hundred pounds beyond the purchase money previously agreed His grace carefully perused the document, and then remarked, This is correct, is it sir 1" It is, your grace," was the reply. Then." continued the duke, then, sir, pay the amount at once. I can better afford to pay a fair price than the owner' can to take an unfair one i and bear in mind, I want no man's land cheap."

Wre do say, that such things are abominable, especially on the Sabbath day, and we were astonished at seeing these mobs, chiefly composed of young men and boys, who ought to have been in better business. A Sunday police man in each ward of our city is essentially neces- sary, and wherever groups oi ooys are seen they should be dispersed. Good News and a Good JTjke. The Legisla ture has agreed to adjourn on the7lhofMay We should all pray that our Representatives may not alter their minds before thnt day.

A fw days since a resolution lor adjournment on the 30th of April was under consideration. Major Davezac arose and said, that his whole ife hnd been devoted to the interests of the peo. pie. (To prove this, he then gave, for the hun- diedth time, a history of the battle of New Or- leans.) Now, continued the Major, I have always made it a point to discharge every obligation which I owe to my constituents; I will not con sent to an adjournment till all the business before us is despatched. I could not look my constitu ents in the face, if I returned without doing that for which I was sent.

I am willing to remain here till the 1st of January next, if it isnecess. ary, and I think every member should make the same sacrifice for the public good. An impudent fellow from the est, heresrosc, and sneered at the Major's patriotism, which, he more than intimated, was lodged in his breeches pocket. He said that the Major was a gentleman of leisure, and of course could have no objection to serving the Slate at the rate of three dollars a day. It was a palpable hit, and the Huuse roared with laughter.

Fire. Yesterday afternoon about half past 3 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the stable of Sailing Master in York streets near the Methodist meeting house. The alarm waa promptly given, and the firemen succeeded in con fining the fire to the stable, which was entirely destroyed. A valuable horse, belonging to Mr. was, we regret to say, burnt to death.

The fire it is rumored, wai the work of an Incendiary The LEraosT ii Nrw Brunswick. A Medi Commission, appointed to investigate the origin and extent of the loathsome diseases, now raging in New Brunswick, have reported it to be Greek Elephantiasis, or leprosy of the middle sges, hich raged over all Europe, between the tenth sixteenth centuries. The disease is contage ous and no person ia the Province who has con tracted it, has as yet been cured. A Just Verdict. Our readera 11 remember that about a year ago, aa old Santa Fc trader, named Chavis, was murdered by a band of robbers, who pretended to act under a tnmissioa from the government of Texas.

McDaniel, the leader of the band, was recently tried before tbe U. Court at St. Louis, and convicted ef the murder. 7 Tbe trial of Jow and Willui Gordo jr, tbe murder of Mr. Sprmgae, ia Provideoet, terminated oa Thursday, by a verdict of guilty against Johaj William acrairud.
