A London letter of the 19th ult, says—
The deposition and flight of Rosas has
caused a rise of 20 per cent, in the Buenos
Ayrean bonds held in this country. They
were previously at 50, and to-day they
have been done at 78. It is thought pro
bable that the ex-dictator and his daught-
er.will arrive in this country either by a
British ship-of-war or by the next Brazil
mail'steamer. His flignt was not so sud
den as to prevent him from providing for
it by shipping a large amount of treasure.
THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Africa has arrived, with

Shocking Murder.—The Miledgeville
Federal Union says:-We are pained to re*
cord the most brutal murder which has
ever been committed,in our city. On Satur
day night last a young man by the name of
Skerisch, a Polander by birth, was killed by
one Sullivan at an Irish boarding house in
this city. The facts, as near as can be as
certained, are these. Skerisch had a difficul
ty with an Irishman by the name of Ma-
har, while contending with him Sullivan
cime up and struck Skerisch several hea - -
by blows on the head, with a large club;
which caused his death Skerisch was a
medical Student in Hungary, and was ban
ished during the late difficulty with Aus
tria. He came to A’raerica, and has been
a resident of this city since October las. He
was a young man of good education, and ur-
exceptionable morals—a Protestant in his
religious belief. Sullivan has escaped, and

Riot In St I.ouis—Six Hen Killed.
Baltimore, April 7, P. M.
Accounts from St. Louis state that an ex
tensive riot occurred in that city after the
election on Monday last, between the Ger
mans and the frieuds of one of the success-
full candidates. The Germans fired on the
crowd, killing six persons and wounding sev
eral others. The crowd attacked and de
molished several German houses. The mil
itary were ordered out, and finally succeed
ed in restoring order.
General Seott.—The Buffalo Courier in
reference to the report of Gen. Scott’s recent
conversatons” and previous letters about
that past of the Compromise which was
included in Malay’s bill, goes directly to
the heart of the matter in the following
remarks:
“Gen. Scott claims, or his friends claims,
that he declared himself anxious for the
passage of Mr Clay’s bill, known as the
‘omnibus’ bill, and that, iuimediaiely upon
the receipt of Mr. Clay from New York, ex
pressing the" strongest hope that the bill
might pass. Admiring all this, and we are
as far from the main point as pefore.
“Mr. Clay’s hilt did not comprehend or
include the fugitive-slave law. There's the
rub. To that General Seott must either
commit himself bv approving the compro
mise measures, aud expressing he determin
ation to support them, or he will not be
nominated by the Whig National Conven
tion, nominated, he will not receive the sup
port of more thaap half the Whig votes.
All the talk of the whig papers and their
Washington correspondents about Gen.
Soott’a services to the country,‘during a
public life of forty.years,’ will avail nothing.
The next President of the United States
goes in as the staunch and sworn supporter
of the compromise measures. The people
cannot be so dazzled by military glory as
to lose tight of the great and, in fact, the
only really important issue before the coun
try at the coming election. The South is
not to be cheated, or if cheated, will make
herself heard and felt at the ballot box ;
while thegreat majority of the people of the
North are resolved to stand by the compact
with their Southern brethren to the very
letter.”
jC^“The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston Courier writes:
“The Grand Jur of this District have
fouud an indictment against Dr. Baldwin,
the Mexican claimant, on a charge of fraud
in relation to the abstraction of some records
from the State Department. He had not
been arrested last evening, and it was not
known what penal offence be was charged
with. It is surrnisea that it was petit larce
ny, in stealing certain papers, though it has
been doubted whether this is a penal offence
under Maryland law, and there is no U. S.
law applicable to the case. Dr. B. has always
been considered a respectable citizen, and he
obtained an award of $64,000 from the
Mexican Board, and was an applicant for a
further allowance.”
Murders and Outrages on the Strait of
Magellan—Seizure of Vessels.—We stated
some time since, that the convicts at the
Chilian colony, at Fort Bulness, on the Strait
of Magellan, had mutinied and commenced
a general massacre and pillage. It appears
that the Governor, Munez Gamero, and
priest and several others, escaped with their
lives, but were compelled by want and hun
ger to return, when the governor was seiz
ed and a fire built to burn him to death. He
begged, however, to be shot, rather tbau
endure such a horrible death, which was
granted; but after shooting him his body
was burned, while the murderers danced
and sung the national hymn around the
fire. The American bark Florida was also
seized by them, and her owner, Mr. Shaw,
•of New Orleans, shot on the spot; her cap
tain being spared in order that he might
navigate the vessel. The Eliza Cornish, a
British vessel, nas pillaged of $100,000, aud
Captain Talbott, the mate, and the owner’s
son massacred. About twenty other per
sous were murdered; but subsequently, the
mutineers, in attempting to escape in one
of the vessels, were captured by two Brit
ish war steamers. The United States frig
ate Raritan, on hearing of the massacre, im
mediately sailed from Callao, for Talcahu-
ano, where she was at the latest accounts.
The Silver Coinage and Gold Ingot Bill-
—We learn from the Baltimore Sun that
this bill passed its third reading ip the Sen
ate, and is to go into effect on the 1st of
June next. The bill provides that from that
date the weight of the half dollar shall be
one hundred and ninety-two grains, and
the quarter-dollar, dime, and half dime shall
be, respectively, one-half, one-fifth, and one-
News-from Europe in Five Days.—The
authorities of Newfoundland have granted
to Mr. H. B. Tibbatts and associates of New
York, the exclusive right to construct and
use the magnetic telegraph aeross that is
land, for the period of thirty years. The
grant is deigned to facilitate Mr. Tibbatts in
his schemes for the establishment of steam
and telegraphic communication between
New York and Liverpool or London in five
days. The telegraph is to extend from New
York to St. Johns, from whence a line of
steamers is to run to Galway, where anoth
er line of telegraph is to commence, extend

said, be completed during the current year.
The distance from St. Johns to Galway, is
1,647 miles, or about five days’ sail.

Upland, and 1,460 do. Sea Island, against 23,-
399 bales Upland, and 1,888 do. Sea Island,
same time last year.
At the close of our weekly review ou the
3d inst., our market was quiet and firm, caus
ed, principally, by the light stock on sale. We
quoted Middling Fair at 7 3-4 a 7 7-8 cents.
On Saturday the first day of the week now
under review, the demand continued lair, but
the sales reached only 606 bales, at former pri
ces. On Monday morning the market open
ed with a brisk demand, and the sales reached
1,948 bales, at previous quotations. Early on
Monday afternoon, four days later dates from
Europe were received by telegraph, announcing
the arrival of the steamer Baltic, with dates to
the 24th ult. These accounts announced that
the Liverpool market was dull, and that the
lower grades had slightly declined. The de
mand, on Tuesday, was good, but the
sales reached only 521 bales; holders
were firm, arid the Baltic’s accounts had no ef
fect on prices. The sales, on Wednesday,
reached 1,704 bales, at full prices; and although
we noticed no quotable change in prices, the
market closed with an upward tendency. On
Thursday morning three days later dates by
the Africa were published, which represented
the Liverpool market, at the close of the week
on the 27th, dull, the fair qualities having de
clined a sixteenth, while the lower grades were
quoted an eight to a quarter decline. The
foreign accounts had no influence on the mar
ket, which opened that day with a good inqui
ry, but in consequence of the light stock, the
sales were only 427 bales, holders being firm
and requiring lull rates.
Yesterday (Friday) quite an active demand
existed, which resulted in the sale of 1074
bales, at the following particulars: 8 at 6; 57 at
6 1-2; 31 at 6 5-8; 50 at 6 3-4; 34 at 7; 4 at 7 l
8; 274 at 7 9-16; 107 at 7 3-4; I2at 7 7-8; 85 at
8; 43 at 8 1 8; 59 at 8 5-16; 27 at 8 3-8, and
209 at 8 1-2 cents.
During the pasi week a fair demand has ex
isted, and sellers have obtained full rates. On
the better classes the market has advanced 1-8
to 1-4 cent, caused principally by the small
stock on sale. The market closes firm, and
we quote:
Ordinary to Good Ordinary 6 1 2 a 7 1-4
Middling to Good Middling 7 1-2 a 7 7-8
Middling Fair 8 1-8 a 8 1-4
Fair to Fully Fair 8 3-8 a 8 1-2
The total sales of the week amount to 6,280
bales, at the following prices: 34 hales at 6; 57
at 6 1-2; 62 at 6 3-4; 277 at 7; 219 at 7 1-4; 1,-

March Trkar, 1852.
PRESENTMENTS.
THE Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for
March term of Washington Superior Court, in
bringing to a close their labors, would respect
fully offer the following presentments:
Having examined the offices of Clerks of tke
Superior and Inferior Courts, we are gratified
to find the hooks well kept and the offices
properly brought up.
The Jail and Poor-house, wt? find in good
order and properly attended to. The Court
house, although requiring repairs, we are in
formed will be properly finished this year;
the work of fitting blinds to the windows and
properly fencing it, being under contract. A
new floor being necessary, we would recom
mend the Justices of the Inferior Courtto have
it floored with plank during the year, if the con
dition of the county Treasury will warrant it.
Illness of the county Treasurer has preven
ted our examining his books, and we have
thought proper to appoint William Smith,
Samuel Robison and William Hodges, a com
mittee to examine into the condition of the
county Treasury and prepare a balance sheet,
and have it published in the Central Georgian,
as soon as practicable.
We have examined the Tax Collectors fist
of insolvents, and allow him the sum of one
hundred and seventeen dollars and seventeen
cents, State T; xes.
We recommend for county purposes the as
sessment of fifty per cent upon the State Tax:
recommend also an assessment often percent
upon the State Tax for the Poor School fund,
which is, we are informed, all that will be re-
quired. While we concur in remarks of his Hon. Lewis Cass,

Honor, Judge Starnes, upon the subject of
education, we cannot help regarding the pre
sent Poor School system as exceedingly de
fective. The distinction between Poor, and
the other classes which it necessarily creates,
is especially odious in a country like ours,
where no superiority but that of moral and in
tellectual worth should be recognized: and
so long as this system is continued, thousands
of poor children will be debarred the advan
tage of education, by the mistaken pride of
honest but ignorant parents.
The poor School System which places up
on an equality, the children of the rich and the
poor, is the only one which will ever extend
the blessings of education to all classes, and is,
therefore, the only one adapted to the wants
of our State.
The condition of our public Roads is such
as to demand a passing notice. The Records
inform us that the Inferior Court have per
formed the duty of appointing Commissioners
and filling vacancies in the several districts as
required by law; the fault then of the bad
condition of the public Roads, must rest with
the Commissioners of the Roads. And we
would reeommend to the Inferior Court here
after to publish the names of the Commission
ers of the several Districts in the county, in
order that the public may know who of their
fellow-citizens are so recreant to their duty.—
As public officers, we would also recommend
to the Justices of the Inferior Court, a strict
inforcement of the law against all delinquent
Commissioners of the Roads.
We return our thanks to his Honor, Judge
Starnes, for his able, impartial and diligent
administration of justice. Our thanks are also
due to Attorney General, Mr. A’hewmake, for
his diligent attention to the duties of his office
and his courtesy to our bodv.
