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. Agreeably to the returns of the late census |of this State, the number of children within | the age contemplated by tiie “Act to establish i a system of Education by Common Schools,” is 106,054. 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.]' j From France. —Tiie packet ship Vilie de | Lyons brings Paris papers to the 16th February.

The Brussels papers of tiie 14th contain ac counts of the forwarding of ammunition ar,l military stores to the army, but state that peace is not likelyto be interrupted. It is said that the withdrawal of the Austrian and Prussian Ministers from Brussels, on ac- I count of the promotion of Scrzynecki, was not ; approved of by the other Ministers Resident. A letter from Antwerp says that the Dutch | l ave increased the number of gun-boats at the mouth of the Scheldt.

The day was fine and the concourse great. Melzare let down in the near fore leg somewhat between the third turn of the last mile and ,un home. His fine game kept him up to the winning post very near his antagonist. It was an exciting and well contested race.—[Mobile Register. ‘lt makes me sick at the stomach,’ as the hog said when he nosed the drunk ard in the gutter. ‘You and I’ud make capital deacons,’ as the man wot never told the truth said to Richard Fletcher, STATE INDEBTEDNESS.

New York, March 27. Bombardment op Buenos Ayres.— More Confirmation —Tiie Boston Trans cript of-Tuesday evening contains the fol lowing extract of a letter to a gentleman in that citv, dated RIO JANEIRO, Feb. I, 1838. 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 lish Squadron, to proceed down to pro tect the English residents there, other wise to receive them on board. Before you receive this Buenos Ayres will be in the hands of the French, or else the for mer will have yielded to the demands of the latter. This you can depend upon 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 the stream, losing the way mail and bag -1 gage, and drowning one of the horses, j All the passengers fortunately escaped bv j swimming or otherwise.—[Colum.

The Constitutionalist expresses too disposition to welcome n branch of Mr. Biddle's hank, on certain conditions, one of which is “that it will co-operate with all those banks in the State which are prudently and creditably managed, in es tablishing a sound currency among us, which (says that paper,) we have not, and in bringing back all banks to a regular course of hanking business, from which (continues the Editor,) they have so es sentially departed.”—[Savannah Georgian. 1 Tiie Exploring Expedition.— The! brig Orient, arrived at this port yesterday | from Ilio Janeiro, with fourteen individuals I onboard, who have returned from the j Exploring Expedition in consequence of j ill health and other causes.

Effects of Gamdlino.— A letter from i Beratm, in Bohemia, addressed to thci Droit, mentions a melancholy instance of 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 | discovered and confined in the dungeon of the prison, where, on going the folilow ing morning to conduct him hack to Gratz, ] the officers of justice found him dead, the unfortunate Count having strangled him ; self with his cravat.

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.
