THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK; (OaQs. APRILS 1839.
North Eastern Boundary— End of the
War. —The Boston Transcript of the 26tli ult
says, by passengers in the steamer Bangor,
which left the Penobscot yesterday morning,
■we learn that all is quiet in that city, even to
dullness. No war—no sleighing. All flat.
At Augusta, again, the Legislature met for the
last time yesterday' morning, at half past 5.
Moreover, orders were received there for the
Oxford and Cumberland troops, of which we
have heard so much, to return honie forthwith.
This, we take it, ends the war—for the present.
Reduction Convention, Francis M
Scarlett and James Moore were elected on
Monday last Delegates to represent this coun
ty in the Reduction Convention to be holden
at Milledgeville next month. R. J. Berric de
clined being a candidate.
In Mclntosh County, James Troup, Armond
Leflls, and Charles 11. Hopkins, have been
elected Delegates to the above Convention.
In Chatham County, the following gentle
men were elected, viz: James M. Wayne,
John M. Berrien, Robert W. Pooler, Robert
M. Charlton, and Joseph W. Jackson.
Penmanship. —We would refer our readers
to an article on our first page, extracted from
a valuable publication emanating from Boston,
called the “ Common School Journal,’’ a work
authorised and patronised by the Massachu
setts Board of Education, a society of which
their talented Governor is at the head. We
recommend the article to the careful at
tention of our readers.
The facility of writing well, is a thing to
be prized, and in directing public attention to
so important an art too much cannot be said.
The present generation we fear are far behind
those of a former age in the accomplishment
of a fine, bold and flowing hand—their charac
ters are cramped, scrawling, and savouring of
affectation. We know many venerable Octo
genariens, some of them immediately around
us, whose hand writing, in a comparison,
would put to blush those of the present day,
and which it is a pleasure to read. They,
however, could not have been bred to the Bar,
for of all classes, the penmanship in general
of these legal gentlemen is the worst, and the
wonder is how so many of them have pushed
through to fortunes, when so much vexation
must have been experienced by every one
Raving business to do with them, in decypher
ing their miserable scrawls.
Morus Multicaulis. — Some two years i
since Doct. Dupree of this city, was presented
with about three hundred cuttings of the Mo- 1
rus Multicaulis, which he commenced cultiva
ting, and a few days since he sold to a gentle
man belonging in Florida, cuttings to the a
inount of eleven hundred dollars, being the
production of the three hundred cuttings in
two years. 'ln addition to this he informs us
he will have between six and seven thousand
trees ready for market next year. That the
growing of sill: will become an important and
profitable branch of business in this country
before many years, we have not the least doubt.
But still we do not believe this extravagant
speculation in mulberry cuttings and trees can
continue a great while longer. The fever is
now at its height, if we may judge from the
high prices paid for the article, and the large
number engaged in the business. We would
advise the Doctor to dispose of all his trees ;
now, while the speculation is rife, which he
intends to have ready for sale next year, for it
is a sound old maxim “make hay while the
sun shines.”
Doct. Dupree thinks the climate and soil of
this section peculiarly adapted to the growth
of the Morus Mullicaulis. In New England,
however, and even in the State of New \ork,
where the fever rages most violently, it is said,
from experiments recently made, that this tree
can never thrive. It answers, however, just
as well for the purposes of speculation.
The New York Star thus speaks of a great
sale of the Morus Multicaulis which took place
in that city a few days since:
Astonishing as it may appear, there has
been another advance in the auction prices
obtained for this invaluable—a tree destined,
as it now appears, to become the source of im
mense national wealth, and to render foreign
nations tributary to us for the article of raw
silk, to an amount far exceeding our imports of
the manufactured article: At the sale yester
day„tke throng of purchasers was very great.
Competition seemed to be awakened by the
great diminution in the stock now remaining
for sale, and with tlie near approach of the
planting season; and the prices throughout
were full 25 per cent, over all previous sales.
The large specimen trees sold at §9 each,
and some bundles of less size commenced at
$3,50 to $4 per tree, and the smaller ones
sold at $1,20 down to about 40 to 60 cents.
Roots sold from 15 to 16 cents each, in par
cels of 2 to 4,000, and the entire stock, con
sisting of about 15,000 trees, good, bad, and
indifferent, and many of them very much in
jured during the voyage of importation, found
> 'willing and enthusiastic purchasers.—[N. Y.
IQ, Eve, Star,
M. H. McAllister, Esq. has resigned the
Mayoralty of Savannah, in consequence of
professional duties, which require his constant
attention. Robert W. Charlton, Esq. has been
elected to fill the vacancy.
The resolution for the distribution of the
Madison papers, says the, National Intelligen
cer, which passed both Houses of Congress,
and was presented to tire President for hjs ap
probation on the last night of the session, is
understood not to ftavb received his signature.
W e have already mentioned the stoppage of
the Savannah Branch of the Darien Bank,
and now regret to learn from the Darien Her
ald that the Mother Bank in that city has been
compelled to suspend specie payments. On
the subject of this suspension, the Herald
i holds the following language:
\\ o are perfectly satisfied, that this measure
has been only in consequence of difficulties
elsewhere, and the Board have determined to
suspend from a sense of justice to all con
cerned. Still as to the solvency of the insti
tution, there can be no doubt, and we would
therefore most strongly recommend to all bill
holders to avoid speculators, and not to sacri
fice what notes of the bank they may have on
hand. The people generally, in this section
of the country, have the utmost confidence in
the solvency of the Bunk, and its bills are
treely received. This is as it should be. The
circumstances which Jed to tiie suspension
are too well known to injure the credit of the
Bank.
The following extract in relation to the
Macon Branch of the Darien Bank is from an
editorial article in the Macon Messenger of
the 28tli ult:
It may be inferred from the stoppage of the
Branch in Savannah, that the principal Bank
of Darien and the rest of the Branches will
also be compelled to suspend. Os the gene
ral affairs of the institution we know nothing,
we are however fully convinced that the busi
ness of the Branch of the Darien Bank in Ma
con is distinct and separate from that of the
principal Bank or any of its Branches, and that
its resources are altogether under its own con
trol, and that its means will be applied exclu
sively to the protection of its own issues.
VVe have been informed upon good authori
ty, that this Branch is in no wise implicated
with any of the other Branches, but that in its
business transactions it has been untrammell
ied as an independent Bank. We also learn
that the situation of its affairs lias been sub
mitted to our local Banks, and that they have
concluded to continue receiving for the pres
ent, the bills of the Branch at this place, as
well on deposit as in payment.
The President of the Bank of Hawkinsville !
j has given notice to the public through the
oolumns of the Augusta Constitutionalist, that.
the notes of that Bank will be received by all I
i the Banks in Augusta, both in payment and j
! on deposit, and will likewise be redeemed as 1
; usual at the counter of the Bank.

i Florida Stock. —The New York Journal
I of Commerce of the 27th ult. slates that let
j ters from London by the Siddons, say that
I Col. Gamble, President of the Union Bank of
! Florida, lias just completed the negociation
i for which ho went, out, being a million and a
half of Florida stock.
Safety of Railroads. Tiie returns of ten
Railroad Companies in England for the last
seven years, as quoted in the last Quarterly
Review, show that more than forty millions of
passengers have been carried, and during the
i same period ten persons were killed by acci
; dents, and but four of these were passengers.
I Lieut. 11. I. Paul, of the U. S. Ship Vanda
-1 ia, lost his foothold whilst relieving the deck,
in the night of tiie 12th ult, when tiie vessel
was off Tampico Bar, and was precipitated in
to tiie sea. He was seen no more.
Major General Macomb and suite, arrived
in this city on Wednesday evening last, on
his way to Florida, where, we learn from the
Army and Navy Chronicle, he is to take chief
direction of affairs. His stay there will de
pend upon circumstances, says the Chronicle,
which cannot be known until his arrival in
tiie Territory. Gen. Taylor will remain on
duty in Florida.
Savannah, we are sorry to learn, lias been
visited by another lire. It was only last week
we copied into our paper an account of a de
structive conflagration iri that city, and now
! have to record another. Tiie Georgian,
! from which we copy the following, says there
j are incendiaries among them, and calls upon
Council to have all vagrants arrested, and
measures adopted to clear them out of tiie city.
FIRE—AGAIN.
About half past seven o’clock last evening,
i the cry of fre was again sounded. It pro
j eeeded from the Steam Saw Mill Building, on
| Scudder’s & Williamson’s Wharf, near tiie
| Canal, which being of wood was soon in a
■ blaze. The building and its contents were
; totally consumed. It was the property of Mr.
i James 11. Wade, who owned all but an eighth,
| which was owned by Mr. Samuel Griffin. We
! sincerely sympathise with these enterprising
I citizens, who have sustained a heavy loss, the
I Mill being valued by Mr. W. at SIO,OOO, and
Iwe learn not insured. Mr. Griffin has been a
! sufferer before from a similar calamity. Tiie
j fire was arrested by the energy of our Fire
I Companies, and some of our citizens, after
1 communicating to a quantity of lumber and
j timber, the property of Mr. John Cant, (whose
' lass is from S7OO to $900,) and some lumber
j of Mr. Hugh Watts, on the adjoining wharf,
j (whose loss is at least S2OO, perhaps more,)
and whose losses, though less in comparison,
are much felt by these industrious mechanics.
The shingled roof of an adjoining brick build
ing, the property of the estate of the late Jo
seph Stiles was literally rescued from the
flames, while the late dwelling of Mr. Stiles,
(200 or 300 yards distance from the scene)
and the buildings of Mr. Keebler, in the vi
cinity, were repeatedly on fire. We under
stand that a few moments before this fire broke
out, a new building, being erected on West
Broad street, but not yet finished, was on fire,
but the flames were extinguished, before much
damage was done.
The wind, though strong, had fortunately
shifted from the N. West to the North, or the
city would have been in greater danger.
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The packet ship Siddons, arrived at New
York on the 26th ult. from Liverpool, whence
she sniled on the 18th February. She brings
London dates to the 16th, and Liverpool to the
day of sailing.
The following summary of intelligence by
this arrival is from the Baltimore American.
Cotton is a shade lower. In the prices of
grain there was no improvement.
Canadian affairs form a very promiilent fea
ture in the debates in the British Parliament.
Lord Durham’s report on the state of affairs in
the British Provinces has been published, and
has excited much attention.
The corn law question continued to be a
subject of warm debate in the ifouse of Lords.
Ministers refused to indicate the course they
| should pursue in reference to this important
question, till it should be presented in a shape
to be acted on.
Matters between Belgium and Holland look
much more pacific, and tiie latest papers state
that Leopold had actually accepted tiie ultima
tum of the London Conference.
The elections for the Chamber of Deputies
j engage tiie chief attention of the Paris press.
A singular official notice lias been issued
by the Frencli government on the subject of
Mexican privateers fitted out to cruise against
French commerce.—Whole parcels of Letters
j of Marque, it is asserted, have been sent, from
Mexico to England and the United States; and
here it is said, there are depots of Mexicans
, ready to embark on board Mexican privateers.
This may be so, but at any rate people here
i know nothing about it.
We perceive nothing very remarkable from
I Spain. From the general tenor of the accounts
; it would seem, however, that Don Carlos was
making groat efforts to commence a vigorous
campaign in the Spring.
A report was current in London that tiie
Bank of the United States of Pennsylvania
. had been speculating largely in cotton in South
j America.—6o,ooo/. wortli is said to have been
j insured, on consignments, to Humphreys &.
Biddle, at Liverpool. In the East Indies, also,
j the same operations are said to be going on.
I In tiie House of Lords, on the 15th of Feb-
ruary, a motion was made to inquire into the
present state of the Navy of England. Lords
Hardwicke and Minto asserted that French
ships were better built than their own. Nu
merous petitions were presented in support of
the existing Corn Laws.
The Royal William steamer now runs be
tween Dublin and Havre.
The first iron sailing vessel went from Liv
erpool to Pernambuco in 47 days, and the com
pass did not vary.
HORRIBLE MASSACRE.
Athens, Jan. 7.
On tiie 10th of November last the Turkish
schooner Cherkaj Schergf(The Prophet’s Man
tle) anchored in the Bay of Patras, its crew
consisting of Captain Said, of Vourla, and
nine others. The vessel carried, besides,
eight passengers, a German antiquary, M.
Ilundschift; Mr. and Mrs. Davidson, of Caro
lina, with their three daughters; and two young
Turks, Abdallah and Hussein, twin sons of
the Aga of Kars. The cargo consisted of
Cashmere shawls, Oriental trinkets, Circassian
embroidery, and other valuable articles. On
the evening of the 12th, the crew and passen
gers returned on board, and on the 13th, at
dawn, the vessel was to sail. The Patras fish
ermen prcceived by the schooner’s lights that
she was sailing, though they did not hear the
customary signal gun fire.
Some hours after, wiien the sun was above the
horizon a few fishermen, spreading their nets on
the shore described a man struggling amidst the
waves. Two of them rowed to his assistance,
and arrived in time to save him. Ho was a
youth dressed in the Turkish costume. His
condition was horrible; be was fainting, and
the blood was gushing from a large recent
wound in his bead. He was conveyed speech
less to a cabin, where every attention was
paid him. The fishermen, conjecturing that
other persons might have been wrecked, pro
ceeded with their, boats in various directions.
They shortly espied the carcase of a vessel,
which was soon thrown on tiie coast It was
the Cherkaj-Schergf. The scene she present
ed was horrible: on the deck, which was stream
ing with blood, lay tiie atrociously mangled
I corpses of the captain and eleven other per-
I sons.
Below in one of tiie cabins, were extended
the lifeless bodies of Mrs. Davidson and her
threee daughters; the state of their corpses re
vealed that the most infamous violence had
preceded dreadful wounds. The ship’s
masts and oars had been demolished with ax
es, and her whole cargo had been plundered.
[Subsequent investigations disclosed the fact
' that this massacre had been committed by
j pirates.]'

There is a French frigate now in port
which will sail cl ay after tomorrow for the'
river, with materials on board for the
purpose of bombarding or taking Buenos;
Ayres. The French are determined to!
assault the place; the Government inform
ed the English Admiral of their intentions
and the latter despatched a vessel which
arrived yesterday with orders for the Eng

as being correct. Yours truly, B.
The late rains have so swollen the
streams as for several days greatly to im
pede the regularity of the mails. The
bridges on the creeks have generally been
carried away, and in several instances
the intercourse has only been kept up at
the eminent risk of life and property.
The Eastern Mail Stage, in passing the
ferry at Flint river, was, we understand,
detached from the rope, and drifted some
quarter of a mile down the stream. The
passengers, among whom were some of
, our most worthy citizens, had the pres
j ence of mind at once to release the hors
es, and removed 4be- harness. Shortly
after which, the stage came in contact
with some limbs, and was capsized into

Effects of Gamdlino.— A letter from i
Beratm, in Bohemia, addressed to thci

the effects of a passion from gambling.— i
The Count de Gravellaksky, descended
from one of the richest families in Bohe-j
mia, about two years ago came into pos
session, in the twenty-fifth year, of his j
fortune, amounting to fifteen millions of
francs. He soon afterwards lost at play, I
in Milan, one million two hundred and!
fifty thousand francs, and subsequently at!
Vienna, two millions of francs, mid at Pra-I
gue, seven hundred and fifty thousand
francs. These severe reproofs did not
check his career. He became deeply in
debt, and at length sold not only his alien
able domains, hut the life-interest in
those settled on his descendants. He was
at length reduced to the utmost distress;
but so strong did his infatuated reliance
upon the goddess of chance remain, that,
in the hope of recovering her favors, he
issued several forged hills of exchange,
and raised money on them. Among these
were some of the house of Messrs. Ivlalen
heini and Cos., of Bcraun, which he dis
counted at Gratz. By a chance one of
the partners came to Gratz, and hearing
i of these acceptances, informed the holders
of the fraud. The Count was arrested
and imprisoned, but made his escape and
! reached Beraun, under a false name, and
i in the assumed character of a journeyman
I cabinet maker. He was, however, soon

of the prison, where, on going the folilow

Gould, kendall. & Lincoln, have
in press, and will publish about the first
of March, Travels in Blirmali, Hindostan, Ma
laya, Siam, and China, by the Rev. Howard
Malcom, in 1 volume Bvo. and 2 volumes
12m0., with a superb map of Southeastern Asm,
five steel plate engravings and nearly 10U
wood cuts.
Characteristics of the Work. —lt is not a mere
diary ol events which befel the traveller, but
contains thousands of facts, dates, numbers,
prices, Ac. Ac. w.liich are either original or
gleaned from sources not accessible in this
country.
Incidents, anecdotes, and scenes have been
freely introduced, but only such as tend to
make the reader better acquainted with the
country.
The most perfect impartiality is shown to
every sect of Christians, and such details giv
en of the various missions as will make the
work equally acceptable to every persuasion.
; Such sketches are given of the history of
! the countries, towns, and missions which are
' described, as serve to throw light upon their
! present condition.
I The map is beautifully executed, and may
; be considered original. Many important correc
\ tions have been made by actual observation,
: and the remainder is chiefly drawn from origin
! al and unpublished surveys by British officers,
1 engineers, and surveyors, to which the author
was politely granted access.
The pictures are wholly new, and form an
important addition to our stock of oriental il
lustrations; no pains or expense lias been spared
in the mechanical execution of these. Five
are on steel, showing landscapes of Maul
mein, Tavoy, Mergui, Ac. and a page exhibit
ing specimens of 15 different oriental languages.
The remainder are on wood, showing cos
tumes, implements, buildings, fruits, Ac.
A great part of the work relates to countries
almost entirely unknown, even to the best in
•formed persons in our country.
Though the work contains a large amount
of missionary and religious details, yet it con
sists chiefly of geographical, historical, politi
cal, and statistical information, designed for
general readers.
The author, from the important character of
his mission, his intercourse with distinguished
civilians and experienced missionaries, his de
liberate stay at caeh place, his previous famili
arity with foreign countries, and his long ex
perience in the Board of Missions enjoyed the
highest advantages for gathering ample and
correct details.
Chapters on the mode of conducting modern
missions; on the measure of success which has
attended" the enterprise; on the almost un
known tribes in and around Burmah; and oth
er important subjects, are added at the cloae of
the work, and constitute no small part of its
value. *
A laborious and complete index it apjpciided
to the work; together with a glossary of ori
ental terms; in which three hundred and eigh
ty words are not only lucidly defined, but ac
cented so as to show their proper pronunciation.
The cost of the two volumes will probably
not exceed $2 50, at which price it wifi be Olio
of the cheapest works issued from the Ameri
can press. The publishers rely for remunera
tion rather on a large sale than a high pride.
A portion of the proceeds of the work are ap
propriated to the Foreign Missionary Board.
