AfTEtt il long controversy it has - been decided to admit colored chil dren, at Newport, It. 1., into the sumo 'schools its while children. i The Now York 'Iribune enys hat "Wade Hampton, politically, is one of the worst men of the South person' ally, one of tho best. The Emporor iNapoloon on being informed that tho chief of police of Marseilles bad left tho city during tho prevalence of the cholera, signod an order dismissing him. It is Bombwhat singular that K.en tucky, a State where tho pro slavery Bontinieht never was extreme, should bo tho community in which slavery hhould como to an end in tho United States.

Ander' son defended himself with a knife, cutting. Pratt slightly,' whereupon Pratt remarked that ho was mortally wounded.,,. This threw Anderson off ofliis guard, and Pratt took advantage of it to plungo his knife through his victim's heart. Pratt was arrested and discharged for want of testimony, and has been1 again .arrested, and was awaiting examination at tho latest ac counts, In tho mattorof tho Hays & Ray and Poorman lodoB, the litigants had just signed an agreement to cease work on tho mino until tho 6th of June next, when tho drift from tho Hays & Uuy was connected with tho work of the other company.
