It a ciioagh to 1 ay, in relation to them, that the ev,. dencc was ahundanl, and every way satisfactory 0 my mind, to sustain the conclusion to which he Jury came. The fourth and fifth grounds present the only egal ipiesllon in the ere, whether the bringing ip lie I ives. under the wiil of habeas corpus, is tied by the Clio I Justice, of Hermuda, and the hschurge ol them, by him, from the. custody ol iTe'lii ist. rol the vessel, is within the risk enu- 1 moated in the policy, viz: atresia, restraints and lotainmeiits nf all kings, princes or people of ivh.it nation, condition or quality soever; fur, if his question he answered in the ul'irmative, then 1 the loss cannot he referred to an escape, which is ' in excepted peril. i The warrants, arrests, restraints and detain incuts ol all kings, princes or people, of what na tion, condition or quality soever, are broad enough to cover every possible demotion, legal or illegal, by color of law, or without it. Had it not been Kir the ca c ol Nosbit, vs. Lashington, 11. K. 78!}, I should not have hesitated to say, that any tlrlcnliun in fuel, was within the perils insured. Hut that ease held 11 mere riotous do. leiilion ol a viis-el by a mob, and the consequent breaking up ol her cargo, not to he a detention in llie meaning <>l the policy. It appears that the detention, lo he wilhin Iho policy, must he a capture, or seizure, or detention by llie o/lii er or agent id soma government in (id. -(1‘lnll. on Ins. !i50.) it is true that Mr. I'hillips says that it must he by llie Commission ed olliecrs or agents of some lawful and ac knowledged government. JSul this cannot he true, lor wherever a government in fact exists, whether lawful or unlawful, acknowledged or un acknowledged, il has (ho physical power to com pel obedience lo its commands, and ils olllcers or agents are suppose I In net by its aolliuriiy, and that llmioliim the assured has 110 remedy for Ins lum against them. This, however, need not he noliccd for llie pur poses id tin; case, lor taking the doctrine lo he, us s.ate I hy Mr, I‘iiillips, llie detention hero would he one of the risks enumerated in the policy; for the slaves were taken mid detained Irom the ens, tody ol the master, by a writ issued by the Chief Justice of Eermudu, tho officer of an acknow ledged and lawful govenimenl, that of Great lln tain. The muster of the . vessel was hound to yield obedience to the writ of habeas corpus. He had not the power to le.-ist ils mandate, and if ho had, he would not have been justified in so doing, lor it i.- the doty ol all persons within the juris diction ofa couutiy, to observe its laws and lo lucid to all its legal and proper process, any oilier iyle would lead lo continual insubordination and the exercise of physical power. Whether the subsequent discharge of the s laves by the Chief Justice was according to or against the laws of Great lirilain,cannot now be inquired into, it was an act done in a court of Justice, and by the judgment of a Court exercising 11 compe tent local jurisdiction, Il is hence to be piesum ed, llial il was done according lo their law, ul.- (hough il must be conceded by every one having tho least acquaintance with national communi ties, that it was, direct violation of ils lirst jirin* ciples. Il is true dial most of the cases of restraint and detention reported io the hooks are captures in lime ol war, and seizure under political regula tions.

Dorsey, dated Port Newnan, Olh June, giving a very favorable ac. count of the progress of affairs in the Cherokee , country. Capt. D. states that the Indians arc i very peaceable and quiet, and that the only cause I of delay now, is, to afford them an opportunity of disposing of their stock and other properly. He , represents some of the full blooded Indians, us worth from two to live thousand dollars. Many of those people have received the Gos- ' ( pel I hrotigh the labors of Missionaries, and they ( hold meetings in the fort every evening.

Vou advise him how he should have acted, on this very momentous question. In the first instance you say lie ought to have petition ed the President, and Doss to restore the treaty. Iflliuljiad failed, he ought to have resorted to the ballot box. If that had failed, he should have protested.

Vou would never suffer Georgia rights, to be trampled underfoot by Northern Fanatics. To prevent future causes, which if allowed to go on, might do great injury to each section of the country, 'tis only neces sary to let them know, that we know wo have the remedy, mid that we will apply it. I'o have pc. litioned the President, and Doss, for a restoration of the treaty would have required lime. To have gone to the ballot box more tardy. Thou io have protested would have shown our unwillingness, oi incapability to have acted, and surely would have given them gicatcr confidence in themselves. Our tardiness in acting, might have placed the country in such a situation, that our remedies could not have been applied, with the same sana tive influence that would have attended their ap. plication on the onset. We have been too slow, ) es, wo have yielded too greatly to their North Eastern gales, which has disseminated its poison 1 over our louuliy. 1 fear his now, if not, it may 1 soon be saturated in our constitution.

The Convention met at Richmond on the 1 3lh and was called to order, and upon motion of Mr. Southgate, a committee of one delegate from each county and town, were appointed to recom - mend suitable persons to the Convention for its officers. After a short retirement, the committee repor. ted that they recommend James Caskie, Esq., for President, Wright Southgate, Esq., as Vice President, and Messrs. James Macfarland, and John H. Duller.as Secretaries of the Convention— all of whom were elected in accordance with the recommendation of the committee—questions be ing put upon the nominations respectively. Mr. Caskie expressed his gratitude to the Con vention for the honor conferred upon him in a concise and appropriate address. On motion of Mr. Mallory, amended at the suggestion of Mr. Earley, Jtcsolveil, That a committee, consisting of one member from each city and county and North Carolina here represented, be appointed by the President, to prepare a report, setting forth the advantages andqiracticability of carrying on a di rect trade with foreign nations, exhibiting the causes which have depressed that trade in the sta ple Slates, and suggesting such other measures as may be lawfully adopted to devclope our resour ces and advance the general objects of this Con vention. , On motion of Mr. J. T. Allyn, Ucsolvcd, i hat the committee to whom was referred the former resolution, report what loss of capital, il any, has been sustained by the People of \ irginia within the lust forty years, in conse quence of giving to others the profits of her bu. siness through a system of indirect trade, and what per cent, perquisites and profits accrue to a commercial matt, horn Iho various departments of business connected with importations and the sale of them to the retail dealers on the usual terms; and further to estimate tho resources of the State, and what commercial population may be sustained within the borders. Jtetolveil, 1 hat the said committee inquire in to the expediency of establishing agencies in the several towns of tho Slate for the sale of articles of American Manufacture, and to recommend such measures as will secure to our people tho advantages in this branch of our supplies, which have heretofore been enjoyed by tho cities of (lie Northern and Eastern States; and also to enquire 1 into the subject of Merchant Licenses, and report, ! tl expedient, what means may he adopted to pro. 1 mote most effectually the interests of Alcrchants and the revenue of the (Jomrnonweallh. 1 On motion of Mr. Cunningham, the Conven- 1 lion adjourned until C o’clock, P.

By the Steam-packet North Carolina, Capt. i Ivy, arrived yesterday morning, we have received i a slip irom the office of the Wilmington Advcrti- ! scr, containing the melancholy particulars of the loss of tiic Steam-packet Pulaski, on her trip Irom this port to Baltimore. Wo despair oi finding words to express the feelings cxeited by the sub joined account of the loss of lives in tho Pulaski. Charleston has suffered severely, but from Savan. nah, the very flower of the city, the clile i of its so, ciety, has been taken. On the receipt of the nows, and durr _, the day here, yesterday, great excitement prevailed among our citizens, and the liveliest sympathy was expressed for the calamity which has fallen upon our sister city of the South the chief sufferer by this dreadful visitation. egjisna asuigugti J[qr boiler at the time—malconstructlon or mo uGiier", &c., but we have been informed that the boiler , and all the works of tho Pulaski were of the best description—and tho engineer eminent in his department, The captain we well know was one of the most vigilant and prudent commanders in the business. Wo have no doubt, therefore, the competition with the other hue of Baltimore packets, and .mining against lime, was the true sourcu ol the calamity.— We learn that Professor Davis, in a recent lecture, predicted an explosion from the excess ol steam used on board the boats between this city and Baltimore. i he shipping in port have displayed their co lours at hall mast on the melancholy occasion. 'The following is a an exlraat of a letter from a passenger on board of the Pulaski at the time of the explosion, to the agent in Charleston, dated, Ten mites South o/A'eic Iliver Inlet, .V. C. June 10th; 1838- Knowing the intense interest that will he fell m the late of the Pulaski, 1 am induced lo as sume the painful duly of communicating to you the awful calamity which has befallen her. At 11 o’clock, on tho night of the I4th inst. one of her boilers exploded with such violence as to destroy the whole of the midships oflhe boat, including so much of the hull, that the water rushed in with such violence as to sink her in three quarters of ail hour. Two small yawls, with 23 persons, after re maining three quarters of an hour near the wreck lo pick up as many of the sullcrers us they could solely carry, succeeded in landing near this place yesterday evening, after taking five of (he number from the swamping of both the boats in passing through the breakers! The destruction of tho Pulaski took place about loity-fivo miles South of Cape Look Out, and 30 from laud. When we left tbe wreck we still heard voices of many persons floating on pacts of it, and believe that many might have been saved, if any vessel passed that spot the next day. Capt. Dubois, and Pearson were pro bably destroyed by the explosion, as they were j not seen or heard of when wc left. I The boat broke in the centre, soon after she | commenced filling, the forward part going down instantly, and tho after part so.tling slowly for half an hour; the ladies who had taken refuge in the roof of their cabin were washed oil" as the stern vveiit down.

'i he movement of M. Kennedy in the House of Representatives is destined to be defeated. At this late day, a majority cannot be tound to re turn to the exploded system of State banks as de positaries of the revenue, even though it is better with all its ills than the new independent treasu ry scheme. The Loco Foeos are not afraid to vote Mr Kennedy’s resolutions down. They will be joined by a host of Southern Whigs who would even prefer the Sub-Treasury to a return to the State bank policy. As a lest therefore, of the opinions of the members of the House of Representatives the fate of these resolves will furnish no evidence. The refusal to come to a vote on Sherrod Williams’ anti treasury bank res olutions, was far more indicative of the real poli cy of the administration. Mr. Webster’s remarks on the propriety of re pealing those portions of the deposit act, so ob noxious to a return to specie payments by the southern and middle State banks, arc interesting He shows plainly that the spirit of the new cir cular is anti-resumption, and that great inconve nience is felt already in Boston at:d Now Haven from its operations. This Treasury order is not only anti resumption in our opinion, but it is an li-commcrcial in every respect. It strikes at tha very root of our foreign import trade by denying to the merchant the use of a currency equal in value to specie, merely because a contingency has arisen in the construction of a certain law not contemplated by the frameis of the act itself, and merely because the Secretary of the Treasury avails himself of this construction. If the admin istration really desired to revive the prosperity ol the country, and the deposit act was in the way ol so good an intention; how easy for the parly in power to propose a repeal of that law, for Mr. Woodbury must know, that it is impossible for the banks to resume throughout the country to any beneficial purpose while such an instrument as his lust order is the guide lor the officers of the revenue. Mr. VVehster may, in our opinion, talk as eloquently as Demosthenes upon the pro priety of rescinding or suspending any part of the deposit act, hut when the vole comes to be taken lie will find himself in the minority. It is idle to suppose that a President who would deliberately authorize the promulgation of a paper like that of the June Treasury circular, intends to recede from his position, unless compelled so to do. No such power to compel him to this course exists in Congress, organised as it is. The struggles of the patriots in Congress tc settle the question of the currency according to the old line of policy, are, in our opinion destin ed Is ho of no effect. The majority have just so much power as to p event the adoption of any measure that looks like a return to former princi ples, and to keep the country in a slate of uncer tainty and alarm unless the proposition of Mr. Van Burcn he accepted and ids liberty-destroy ing proj&ct passed into a law. The great ques« lion, therefore, to the decision ol which we look 1 forward with every anxiety; is the independant Treasury hill. Till' that is settled we chill con tinue to he in angsluis rebus. From the N. L Herald, of the IGlk, Money Market Thu market for bills on England opened at 84, and 10 per cent, as the asking rale. At these quotations, the transactions wero very trilling, and the rate early gave way to per cent, the sales at which were only for a moderate amount. The market closed languid at 0 a l)i per cent. over which buyers are not disposed to pay. On Prance, the asking rate of 5 a could not be sustained, and the market closed at f 5 20 a 5 32$ ;.- r "T"-:. T 1 “.“. “V Ensdand have.been this by no means indicates tlio stiile 61 \tii nfillt ket, as the regular dealers come into market only on the last day. The business to day shows a great deal more offering than there are buyers for, and unless the steam ship going on her reg ular day, (2d instant.) should create an extra de mand, the rate will not bo over 9 per cent, in all probability, on the next packet day. There is by no means sufficient demand to sustain the prices against the quantity which would be thrown into the market, should the southern banks commence drawing against their cotton funds. Os this there is no necessity, as the day of resumption is at least as far distant as the Ist of January, 1839, in the opinion of the business community. Our New Orleans slip informs us that the United States Bank has ceased buying cotton in that market, but private advices assures us that the agent of that institution is as active as ever; and the opinion is still prevalent there, that there will bo no resumption on the part of the United States Bank, or other cotton dealing institutions, this j ear. In fact, the gloom caused in this city by the illi beral acts of the government with regard to the reception of hank notes in pay ment for governs ment dues, and their hostile position on the sub treasury bill, is rapidly spreading South, and should not the treasury hill be defeated, the gloom attending such an untoward event, would cause the most disastrous effects throughout the coun try —not so much from the operation qf the bilj itself, as the conviction it will carry with it, that the government war on the banks will bo perse vered in. If such should prove to bo the case, of what benefit would be a resolution to take the notes of specie paying banks, and then turn im mediately round and drain them. The interest of the people and the government must ho united before any permanent state of prosperity, or even security, can he established. The ancient writer sailh, “the house divided against itself cannot stand'’—how much more dillicult, then, is it for the national fabric to exist, while it is pull Dick, and pull devil, like two dogs in a leash, between the office holder? and community at large.— We understand the Governor of Tennessee lias issu ed his proclamation, convening the several boards of directors of the different branches of the State Bank for the 11th inst.

By the timely use of this pungent Oil, many who have been completely deaf have been restored to perfect hearing after using from three to ten flasks.

The Acoustic Oil is not presented to the public as u nostrum, but as the prescription of one who has turned his attention exclusively lo the Eye and Ear, and who pledges his professional reputation upou the success oi l his remedy. Dr. Scuddor has numerous certificates, but hesi tates to publish them, as he considers them unne cessary to so truly valuable an articlcasthe Acous tic Oil.
