Quite sensation was created in the city yestcr. day, by the appearance of acards in different pla. ces, stating that Mir. JOHN B. GoUGH, the celebra- ted Temperance Lecturer, had strangely disappear. ed, under circumstances which induces the apprc- hension that evil had beallen him. He arrived here last Friday morning from New Haven. and stopped at the Croton Hotel. After tea on that day, he dressed himself and went out, saying that he was going to Mr. Hurlburt's, in Brooklyn. He stopped moment at the store of Messrs Saxton l. Niles in Broadway, since ,chich he has not bee,s seen nor heard from by his friends here. His trunk remains at the Croton Hotel, and on exami- nation every thing was found to be in order, indi eating that he expected shortly to return. He in- tended to go to Albany last Monday, whence he was to be accompanied by his wife to Meaireal, where he had a Temperance engagement.

 There was report last night, but we believe A was without foundation, that his body had been found in the river. with marks of violence upon it. He had with him when he left the Hotel, a gold watch and chain, and gold ring, bearing the initials "J. B. G." He had also money in his pocket. It it said that threats had been made that he should be dragged We still hope for the best, but his long absence. under all the circum. stances, creates much anxiety.
