ENGLAND.
The varioua clauses of the Irish church
bill were agreed to in committee of the
House of Commons on the 20tli July,
la the course of the debate another bear
garden scene took place between Mr.
O’Connell, a Mr. Shaw, and a Mr. Eton.
M. O’Connell charged Mr. Shaw with
stating falsehoods respecting him; Mr.
Finn (a friend of Mr. O’Connell) rose in
great heat, and exclaimed that what Mr.
Shaw had said “was a false and atro
cious calumny”—an uproar endued,
which was with difficulty quieted, and
the affair ended in the following elegant
interchange of compliments between two
of the gentlemen,
Mr. Shaw said that the honorable and
learned gentleman had allowed to his
spiritual ferocity ; his, however, was not
like the ferocity of the honorable and
learned gentleman, for that exhibited it
self in a dea h’s head and cruss-buncs—
(loud cries of “ Oh 1”;
Mr. O’Connel-—Ami yours in a call’s
bead.—(A laugh.)
The Morning Herald of the 30th of
July,says—llia now clear, beyond doubt,
that even the Ministers themselves have
not the slightest expectation of being able
to carry the Irish Church Hill intis pre
sent form this session. Yet professing
the deepest anxiety for the welfare of the
Established Church, and no less commit,-
aeration fur the destitute slate o', the un
fortunate Irish Clergy, they resolutely
refuse to adopt the only means, which,
according to the Constitution, and the
present state of our Legislature, an- pre
sented to them of relieving ihe distress
of tiie one, and of affording due protec
tion to the other.
That they have the power to do so by
severing the bill into two, and leaving
the principle of appropriation to be dis
cussed Separately upon its own merits,
no one who has rcuil the late debate can
doubt. Yet, notwithstanding an almost
absolute assurance from fair K. Peed to
this elfect, notwithstanding the all but
certainty of passing that portion of the
bill which relates to the settlement of the
tithes, revenues, and income of the church
generally, ministers have thought fit, we
cannot s.iy to hazard, b it to destroy ail
chance of carrying this measure, by re
fusing to sever the provisions relating to
an appropriation of the surplus revenues
of the Irish church ; it being much more
than problematical, it should be recollec
ted, whether such surplus will ever have
any existence.
FRANCE.
The most important intelligence
brought by these arrivals are the details
oi an unsuccessful attempt on the life of
the King of France and his Sons, by an
infernal machine, while on parade, in
celebrating the trots jours. It does not
appear that this was the result of an ex
tensive conspiracy, but it is impossible
to do away Hie impression that political
considerations led to the attempt, the ef
fect of which will be to strengthen the
power of Louis i’hillippc, and alford ex
cuses for strong conservative measures
which will abridge the liberty of speech
and the press.
The Liverpool correspondent of the
Evening Star, gives the following parti
culars. It appears the attempt was made
on the 28th, July, during the celebration
of the three glorious days, and while the
King, accompanied by his three sons,
(the Duke of Orleans, the Duke of Ne
mours, and the Price of Joinvillc,) and a
numerous stall - were proceeding to re
view the troops.
At twelve o’clock, at the moment the
King reached the Boulevard du Temple
(a little before the Theatre ties Futiuin
bales) was heard a dreadful explosion,
like irregular platoon firing. Toe opin
ion at first was that it was a discharge of
fire works, but in a moment the awful ami
deadly nature of the perpetration became
apparent. The cries of the wounded were
heard—dreadful confusion ensued—ami
then, for the first time, people learned
that a shower of balls hail been fired at
the King and his cortege, from an infer
nal machine, placed in the front window
of a'house.
The first and most prominent object
was the King.—Waving his namls to the
National Guards and the people, and
pointing to his sons, beside him, as il
shewing that they had escaped. An
aid-de-camp held up the hat of a mar -
shal of France, the feather stained with
blood.—This was the hat of Marshal
Mortice, Due de Treviso, —this gallam
man (one of Napoleon’s warriors) had
been nisluntaiic msly killed by one ol'tlu
balls of the infernal machine, i'iic King',
arm was grazed by a ball, his horse wmin
ded in the neck, but h displayed groa
coolness, and insiantly rode up to ilu
bouse whence the discharge came, li i.-
curious that had the King occupied In.-
proper place in the procession, his would
have been the forfeit life, lie d.tl n >
take tiie centre of the road, bat retained
that place on the side, next the troops !u
bad been inspecting.
Resides the Dae de Trcvise, the fol
lowing were killed:—Gen. deLacharv.
dc Verigny; CV.pt. Vitiate, aid-de
camp to Marsha! Matson ; Lieut. Col
R.eusaeo, of the Bth Legion, fmirgrena
diers; a Colonel iu the army ; two citi
zens; a woman and a child. The woun
ded were General Heymtez, (struck bt
5 balls, one of which carried away hn
nose,) Generals Colbert, Pelet.and iliin
Col. Rede; Capt. Marion; one citizen
ami five woman. All of these ate no
expected to recover. Three or faui
others ace slightly wounded.
Immediately on the fall of the Due (1-
Trevise, smoke w;s seen to issue front
the third story of a house. No. 50, on the
,Boulcvard - du Temple. The Island 2J
stories were occupied by a wine mer
chant. Each story had bat one window
and a single mum. The house was in
vested and breached. The raem in
which the infernal machine was. is only
6 feet by 7. The machine was verv
strong, and consisted of 23 gun barrels,
in a frame, and could be discharged al
once. They were so disposed as to b<
able to strike a man on horseback in th<
centre of the Boulevard. They were s
heavily loaded, that although the barrel;
were new, five of them had burst. A
man named Auguste Girard a mechanic
aged 24. was taken in custody, |Ji<
room had a back window, to which In
had attached a rope, that he might es
cape. The bursting of the barrels severe
ly wounded him in the neck, lip, and
forehead. He was in the act of-cscapin;
-by the rope, out of the back window,
when the police apprehended him. He
was taken to the Conceirgcrie. Persian
1 blinds had masked the machine until tne
! moment for action. A train of powder
‘ communicated with the whole 25 barrels,
and caused the simultaneous explosion.
1 Each barrel had six balls. Two of the
’ barrels missed fire. The death of Ger
-1 ard was believed to have taken place on
W ednesday from his wounds, lie con
-1 fessed his crime, denying that ho had ac
■ complices. Two white hats, of different
sizes, were found in Ills room, so that
’ probably em/.hor person was cognizant
of this plan.
1 After the explosion, an aid-de-camp
‘ gulloppcd off to take the news to the
. Queen. From him the troops learned it,
and when the King advanced lo com
’ plete the review, he was bailed with
| shouts of 11 Vive le Rot.”—On being ask
‘ ed if he was wounded, ho atM “no, but
mv horse is hurt, and my poor comrade
killed,” pointed lo the Dive de Trcvise.
The review proceeded, and at 5, the
1 King joined the Queen and ike Princess
P at the Tuilerics.

MADDEN ON SLAVERY. .
Wc alluded recently to this work,
* which contained the results of a twelve
month’s rvßtdcnce in the Island i f Jamai
ca, where tlie author, Dr. Madden, had
been sent by the British Government, as
one of the special Magistrates, to admiit
’ islet* that system of Apprenticeship with
regard to 1 lie Slaves, which its friends
, and supporters had been pleased to de
signate a scheme of grudual emancipa
tion. Dr, Madden threw up his cotnmis
, shin in disgust, on finding that neither
Masters nor -Slaves liked the practical
operation of that which was to be bench
ml to both. We had access in our for
mer notice of the work, to an abstract
merely of its contents—the work itself
has been since put into our hands, and
we find in its pages a detailed exposition
of the causes of failure of ibis great expe
iment in favor of Slave cmancipaiion.
The author seeks to qualify his admission,
that the system has failed, by throwing
on its projectors the blame of having con
trived a faulty plan; but lie reveals
enough to satisfy any one acquainted
with human nature, that the failure is at
tributable to circumstances not to be
overcome, under any system of slavery.
He devotes a chapter to the domestic
economy of the Slaves, in which he
mentions, " that he lias seen in their ha
bitations mahogany four post bedsteads,
mahogany chests of drawers, a little dis
play of glassware on t he sideboard, chairs,
tables and various other luxuries, which
most assuredly are not to bo found in an
Irish cabin, un Arab fellah’s hut, or even
in the cottage of an English peasant ,”
He goes on to say, “In a word, on a
prosperous plantation it is not to de
denied that a negro slave is better
lodged, better rr.n, and, considering
THE climate, I WOULD SAY, BETTER CLO
i toed, than an English peasant Now
a-davs. 1 speak of a pioaperous plan
-1 tatiun.” Now this is an admission that
overturns all the Doctor’s theories of
c emancipation—all his fine spun schemes
of amelioration, by allowing wages to the
0 Slaves.
1 Throughout his book (here are. many
0 other similar admissions. The following
’’ passage speaks volumes.
Adverting to the stale of uncertainty
'* in which the late law of Apprenticeship
leaves the relations of Master and Slave,
he says : “In this condition, will the ne
' groes be better lilted for freedom in six
u years than they are now ? It is greatly
to be feared that, in that interval of re
’ siricicd freedom, the relations between
toe Mister and the Apprentice will be
. sundered wider every day, and more
heart-burnings will accrue between the
master and apprentice than would proba
' bly have arisen between the owner & ihe
. slave. These are no exaggerated senti
ments; 1 am well aware that exaggeration
1 only diminishes the effect of truth. Will
j the proprietor he in a better condition to
pay wages to his laborers at the expiration
of that lime, than he w*.l be at the end of
another year, v. hen some part of the coin
' peiisutioo money will be at his disposal ?
The probability is he will not.”—Well,
here is an advocate fur unlimited and itn
-1 mediate abolition, where wages are to be
j paid under a system of voluntary labor,
1 who admits that under a scheme of even
qualified and gradual freedom for the
*1 slave, the proprietor will not and cannot
1 be in a condition to put/ /cages. If the
\ppienliceship system, by coercing Ihe
” Slaves in Jamaica to work only four
days and a hatfux a week, does not ena
bie the proprietor to realize the ordinary
10 profit from their labor, how is he to pay
t inn wages when, in all probability, the
'■? facility fur procuring subsistence in a tro
-1 picul climate, will not induce them to
work more than three ddys, if so much,
in a week? Bui, says this admirable
0 reasoiKT, “ the Negroes "ill not be bet
ter fitted f-ir freedom in six years than
1- they are now!” He, therefore, is for
>e ..wing them unqualified and immediate
emancipation, if under a system that
i. leaves them two days and a Itaj'in each
i- week fur their pretended amelioration
-- ami improvement, of six years duration,
1 they will not at the end of that time be
|y ‘ fitted fur freedom,” as he admits, how
i'* can they he pronounced by him to be
i; •• fitted lor freedom ” now. Can infaiu
u, tint! in favor of Abolition carry any ol
at its rash votaries tardier ?
ir In a succeeding passage he asks, “Is
there a prospect ot education becoming
le more diffused during the Apprenticeship,
n or of the present system pursued by the
e dissenting clergy becoming more calcu-
J lated to derate the intellectual charac
- :er of the negro? or of tiie instruction
v afforded by the Established Church be
i coming more available to tiie Negroes,
n and better suited to their spiritual wants:
y The Negroes lam convinced, will re
y ceive with distrust every effort to cults
vale their minds, till effectual means are
it taken to improve their civil condition.
No one, I am persuaded, who has not
ie witnessed the efforts made to counteract
j' the renaadial character of the late mea
is sure, can imagine how little the enndi-
A tioa of the slave has been improved bv
s, it.’’
is Now, here is a Magistrate who speaks
-e from official experience against the pro
s' bability ot “education becoming mure
J- diffused than it is ” among the slaves, or
d of “elevating their intellectual charac
ig ter,” where a system of grc’-al tiryinc
potion is in progress and a chance pre- ?
seated for preparation for ultimate, eman- f>
cipution, granting this to be possible, and
i yet he is for suddenly introducing them *
■ to ttn-jualified freedom, with no prepara- a
, lion al all Here is an individual of in- (
. tel ligence, who speaks from personal ob- ;
i serration of the impossibility of *‘ cleva- •
■ ting the intellectual character” of the i
i slaves, or of “diffusing knowledge a- ‘
■ mong them” where there exists compel
■ sury labour in the proportion of only ,
t four days and a half in the week , and yet |
i says that they will be fit for freedom i
t when their “civil condition isitnprov- 1
ed”—that is, when they will labour just
i sufficient to supply their mere animal \
i wants. In other words, “ the diffusion
, of education*’ which is the necessary
• preparation of freedom, and “elevation
i of intellect” which is indispensable to its
- enjoyment, cannot lake place now that
l the slave is supplied with all necessary
j comforts, and what would be deemed,
according to our author, the “ luxuries of
5 life among English peasants,” and yet he
s is to be fit for unqualified freedom when
he will be able to subsist on what a fruitful
soil supplies, vii'll sca/eely wry work
at all. If Mr. Madden and those con
nected with him in the administration of
. the Apprenticeship system in the British
( West Indies, write many such books as
. this, where fact and inference are in such
. direct contradiction, it ought to go far
j ther in disabusing the British people and
s government of their absurd notions on
this subject, than all the representations
h of the Colonial Legislatures, and those
s best acquainted with the practical bear
- ings of this question, which may be laid
;- before the British Parliament.
1 From the Baltimore American.
We should like to see the plan recom
- mended in the following article fairly
t tried. The success in arresting the pro
f gress of conflagrations which has at-
I tended partial experiments where they
i have been occasionally made, leaves no
- room to doubt its efficiency, if followed
. out in the systematic manner here pro
, posed :
; "The plan of preventing (he spread
of fires by cloths sufficiently large to ex
: tend from eve to eve of a moderate sized
I house, might, if adopted, rescue hundreds
-of houses, hundreds of thousands of pro
! pert v from destruction, and hundreds of
families from distress and ruin. VVhv it
: has not been adopted, though so often
; urged, particularly in New York, which
so frequently and extensively sutlers by
, fire, is truly unaccountable.
“ Bed blankets, collected in haste, and
, thrown on (he roofs of houses contiguous
i to those in flames, have often arrested the
i progress of conflagration. How much
t more effectual would be large cloths,
’ brought at once with the engines, and
i covering half a dozen or more of the cir
; cunijuccnt houses.”
i “ Not merely the efficacy of the mea
i sure, but its cheapness, strongly recom
mend it for at least a fair trial.*’
The cost of a single engine would pay
-for cloths sufficient for the largest city
t in ihe Union; and three engines to keep
f those cloths saturated with water, would
s more effectually check a conflagration,
e than a dozen or twenty without -hem. In
places where water is scarce, and tire en
y gi nes and hose scarce, and where fires
g are offroqueut occurrence,the plan would
be invaluable. C.

While the idea ol'a separation of the Northern
Stalest is the subject of frequent conversation at
the North, and every mail from the South speaks
1 to ua.trumpct-tonguetl, of the unalterable determi
‘ imliuu of the Southern States to recede from the
! Union unless uc put down the Fanatics and
> prevent their sending incendiary publications a
. mong the slaves of the South, —while we say,
; these things ate passing under our observation,
we greatly fear that the consequences of such a
measure upon the prosperity of the North is not
1 duly considered, or the value of Union sullicienlly
I understood or appreciated
) We daily hear men who should know better—
) and who, if they would exercise the reasoning
j- faculties nature has bestowed upon them, would
bo belter acquainted with the subject—argue that
, the consequences of disunion would bo most dis
' ostrous lo the South, and that the North would
, bo but little, if in any way effected by it. We
- are aware that it is always an unthankful office
3 to undeceive th-ise who arc happy in their ignor
ance; but as il is frequently the duty of the phy
j sician to lay before the patient the true state of
his case, in order lo secure attention to his reme
' dies, so is it incumbent upon the public press to
'I point out to its readers the dangers which may
C anse from ignorartco of the consequences of a sc
e patation of the Slates.—Those of the North who
r do not foresee, or will not admit the fearful con
sequences to us of a disunion, are guilty of a spe
cies of suicide which threatens destruction to all
- our visions of future greatness.
!/ There is not under the gun a country more
e prosperous than the United Stales of America at
■ this moment; and as reasonable men wo arc called
D upon to examine Ihe r ouree of our wealth and
the causes of our prosperity. There are few, very
' lew so utterly ignorant ol cause and effect, as not
to he conscious that Commerce, Agriculture, and
Manufactures are the only true sources of nation
-0 al greatness and individual prosperity and in
I' the lirst place we would ask, what constitutes or
e supports oor commerce 1 The answer is at hand
q —Agriculture and Manttfuctutcs, We do not,
at the Nor.h at least, possess the precious metals
for exportation, and wc presume that alt will
II agree with us, that if wc possessed neither manu-
! > factures nor agricultural produce to export, we
0 would not possess any means of paying for ini
s’ ports, and consequently, that wc would not have
u any employment lor shipping, ami therefore no
commerce. Tito annual exports, of tha United
<• Slates have increased to about one hundred mil
lion of dollars, and this amount is returned lo us
in imports which give employment to, and create
s our commercial marine, supports the government
by the payment of trilling duties, and employs
j 5 the w hole of our population in the raising and
’ manufacturing the articles of export, and the dis
l> liibulion through the country of the merchandize
received in exchange and denominated imports.
- Ol the §100,000,000 of exports, the South raises
11 more than nine tenths, consisting of cotton, to
,. hacco, tise, grain, &c. &e. Wc of the .Vorth
j leceive this produce from them, ship itlo Europe,
J bring homo its value in imports, and then distri
bute it through a thousand different channels, cn
'* Aching and giving activity and employment not
.- only lo out shipping interest, but to every class
6 ot our population and every section of our widely
i. extended country. The Sou.h and the North
q are mutually benofißed by this arrangement, but
( lo the South it is a matter of convenience, while
to the North il is its very heart’s blood, and once
let this arrangement cease and wo become the
- poorest and most dependant people on earth !
V Let not the reader start at the declaration, but
lot him rather investigate the truth of our position
s and then “ calculate the value of the Union.”
A distinguished Southerner said to us a few
days since—“ If the North will not put down the I
L> Fanatics by the strong arm of the Lav, hut force i
r us to a separation, they must bear in mind that i
- as the object of separation is to gbard against the (
incendiary proceedings and publications of the <
North, the very first act of the Southern con
federacy must necessity be to declare a total non
inter court e with the Northern States, and the
formation of alliances Offensive and Defensive
with England and France, in order to secure the
shipment of, and markets for our produce.” We
fully admit the truth and the necessity of this
position, and we then put it to every man ol’com
mon sense in the Northern Stales, — iwhat would
be the consequence/! of a separation under such
cii cumstances 7 We answer, —Our exporlsand
our imports would be reduced nine-tenths ; nine
tenths of our shipments would be rotting at our
wharves; nine-tenths of our population now sup
ported by commerce and the wealth it produces,
and the industry it diffuses, would be driven to ag
ricultural pursuils; the staple articles of Northern
Agriculture commend but small prices abroad,
and they would find but, few consumers at home;
grass would grow in the streets of our cities and
villages, and a general scene of poverty and de
solation would follow our present unexampled
prosperity and generally diffused wealth !
Again we say, start not at this picture, but let
every man put to himself the question, it it or Hit
not true 7 So certain as two and two make four,
so certain is it that at this very moment we of the
North as well as our brethren of the South, owe
our prosperity individually and nationally to the
slave labour of the Southern States ! If it were
not for the Cotton and Rice raised by the Slaves
of the South, neither Aanicß Tappav nor Jons
Raxbix and their murderous associates, could
find the means of importing their merchandize,
or consumers for it able to pay them its value af
ter being imported. And yet these very men,
and thousands whom they have misled, stand
ready to bring upon themselves and the Northern
States, all the evils we have attempted to pour
tray. Neither the Evening Post nor the respecta
ble and intelligent editor of the American, will
attempt to deny the fatal consequences to the
North of a separation of the Stales; but when
we call upon them to aid in procuring such Le
gislation as will avert these consequences, and as
justice and a regard for our plighted faith de
mand, they will tell us, “ it is impossible, we have
no right to prevent the publication of those incen
diary pamphlets and papers which we admit will
inevitably destroy the Union and bring upon us
poverty and ruin !” And this is denominated
patriotism —lbis is called independence, and at
tributed to a sacred regard for the liberly of speech
and of the press! Shame on such cavilling.
When our revolutionary fathers and sages con
sidered this question, and the assembled wisdom
and patriotism of the country determined upon a
Union of the States, they foresaw and duly weigh
ed the importance of the rights they were culled
upon to surrender. Rut they looked upon the
matter like men who had the welfare of the whole
country and of generations yet unborn at their
disposal. On the one side they saw and admit
ted the evils of slavery ; but they saw too, that
these evils could not bo averted, and when weigh
ed in the balance with the happiness and prosperi
ty of millions of freemen, they wisely determined
that their philanthropic feelings which never could
do away with the curse of slavery, ought not and
should not be enteitained at the expense of the
blessings of Union. They therefore yielded the
question of Slavery to the South, and plighted
their faith to protect them against domestic insur
rection, as the basis upon which to secure to the
whole country the inestimable blessings of a
Union of the States!
Are we wiser than they were, or are we more
philanthropic 1 more opposed to elvavery 1 more
impressed with the iropor.ancc of liberty of speech
and of the press 1 Are we better patriots, or
more deeply imbued with a desire to perpetuate
the blessings of free government than those men
who arrayed themselves against the greatest pow
er on earth, fearlessly declared these Stales free
and independent, staked their lives & fortunes on
the result, and, during a seven years war, encoun
tered every species of hardship and privation, that
their descendants might,be free 1 We at least, can
perceive no evidence of such superior wisdom and
patriotism in the present generation, and we hope
and trust that all who are alive to the prosperity
of the North, will unite in petitioning our Legis
lature to enact such laws as shall effectually 'pul
down the Fanatics and thereby preserve the U
nion of the States.
From the Charleston Mercury.
A Remedy. —Wo have always thought that
the South hud, in their own bunds, the clleclual
remedy, against the hollow philanthropy and
real villainy of Northern Abolitionism; but, that
it was the duty, as well as the interest, of the
North, to induce us to forbear from its applica
tion. From an attentive observation of all that
has been recently said, and all that’ lias been
done iu our behalf, by the Northern people, we
think the time has come for decided Southern
action i —not by dissolving the Union—hut by
shewing the North that it is chiefly their interest
to preserve it, and that to make the Union valua
ble to themselves, they must secure most vigi
lantly the tenure of Southern property, and
entitle themselves, by co-opcratiug to advance it,
to a share in Southern prosperity.
Words will never convince the North of these
truths—actions must. Let the South then be
true to herself, and diminish the dangers of such
an intereouse, by diminishing as far as practica
ble, and oven at the temporary sacrifice of her
own interests, the commercial intercourse with
tnc North. Let the first step, already taken, by
the establishment of a direct line of packets from
Charleston to Liverpool, he promptly followed
up. Let our Planters and Cotton buyers in the
interior, compel the American Cotton and Rice
trade to concentrate on the Seaboard of the
Cotton and Rice growing States. There is no
need of sending their produce to be stored in
New York, to ensure a speedy realization of the
proceeds. Why not store it here 1 Our Banks
arc able and willing to advance to every reason
able extent. Let us then take our own trade
with Europe into our own hands—and assert, at
least, our commercial independence of the North.
Let the whole people of the South, urge and
encourage their Merchants to effect this patriotic
and Union preserving object. Let it be one of
Ilia chief subjects’ of deliberation in the Conven
tion of the Southern States, if that Convention
is railed, as wo trust it will be, in accordance
with the Charleston Resolutions. In the end
the step must result, not only in the greater sta
bility of Southern institutions, but in Southern
wealth, derived liom retaining at home all those
benefits of Southern industry, on which North
ern onterprize now fattens. It may starve some
of the restless spirits of fanaticism out of their
present purse-fed insolence; and, at any rate, I
will compel the trading community in that sec-!
lion, to attempt, by striking down this ilell-born
monster of hypocricy at home, to win back the
confidence which once gave them a rich portion I
of the products of Southern labour. And if it '
fail of this, it will at least tend to secure the per- |
maneney of the friendly connexion between the j
sister Sovereignties of the Union, by putting a
slop to those opportunities of intermeddling with
our business, and intruding into our privacy,
which the evil disposed among our Northern
brethren, have been 100 long permitted to enjoy,
and have made themselves our Northern ene
mies, by abusing. We shall return to these
views, having only room to-day to premise these
words, in soliciting attention on the following
article.
To Virginia it Southern Merchants.
You occupy a prominent and responsible po
sition at this time. The North will do nothing
effective, to check by law, the villainous injuries
and insults offered the South. The mass of
Southern People can do little. The enemies of
their peace will not come here to be punished for
their atrocities; the People cannot go there to
punish them. You can do every thing. South
ern commerce is the ring in the nose of the Levia
than by which you may lead them to act the part
of friends and brethren, and to desist from the
pan of incendiaries. All is dependent on you.
Act wiih unanimity and patriotism, and you
may effect great things for your country.
A Convention of the merchants of Virginia
is proposed. Why not enlarge tho conception
and embrace the merchants of Tennessee, Alaba
ma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South and
North Carolina. These limits embrace a people
having the same polity, the same manners and
customs, and the same interest. A countiy
moreover, which produces the wealth of the
Government and the Union. United, acting with
concert and unanimity, iu merchants can relieve
it from dependence, and elevate it in the scale of
power and importance. They, the merchants,
are the front rank in the present emergency, but
all tho people will back and sustain them. Have
we not—has not the South—been long enough .
—Overseers and factors for the North ? And .
what are the thanks?
Let the Southern rneichanta therefore assem
ble in Convention the ensuing winter, and adopt
a system of measures for elevating and sustain
ing their'own country. It needs but that the
s\ stem be wisely devised and approved by them,
to bring tho whole people into its support. — Rich
mond Whig.

amounted to about 10,820 bales, including 2840
Upland, 9J a 12|; 2700 Orleans, 9i a 13', 32 at
14; 2740 Alabama and Mobile, 9jf a
See. of which about 350 bales American and 100
Brazil were bought on speculation, and 1350 A
rncrican and 100 Surat for export. The lower
qualities of short stapled Cottons have again been
sold at reduced prices; we ought to alter our
quotations, but we let them remain as they arc, till
gome more decided change takes place.
The dullness which has for some time past cha
racterised the Cotton market still continues, and
although there was a trifling increase of demand
in tho early part of the week, it hgs closed withont
spirit at id to j-J per lb, reduction in Brazil, but
with no change in American. Egyptian, or Surat
Extractof a letter dated Liverpool 31st July.
We subjoin an account of the import into Liv
erpool during the present year, contrasted with
that of 1834, up to this date; by which it will ap
pear that our receipts have been 9907 bags less
this year than last, taking all kinds into account;
while from the U. States the deficiency is 31,315
bags. There is not any important difference be:
tween this year and last in the imports into Lon
don ane Glasgow.
The sales of the month amount to only 57,459
bags of all kinds, including 47,450 American, 6,-
170 Brazil; and 3,840 other sorts. The business
done on speculation is only 2,150 bags, and for
export 3,890 bags ; so that the sales to the trade
arc 51,420 bags. Besides this, 4,650 bags have
been forwarded into the country unsold, and we
divido the supplies to the trade during the month
into 45,600 American, 5,570 Brazil, and 3,800
of other sorts.
The stock of cotton now held in Liverpool is
231,000 bags, including 197,000 American, 21;-
000 Brazil, and 13,000 other sorts—against 238,-
000 held this time 1834, which consisted of 193,-
000 bags American, 25,000 Brazil, and 10,000
other kinds. At the close of July, 1833, tho
stock was very nearly the same, but for some
time previous to the end of July in both 1833 and
1834 the Hade had taken free supplies, and so re
duced the stock in the port.
There does not appear to he any reason for
supposing that the consumption of cotton has
even in the smallest degree been diminished,
though yarns have been very saleable in the pre
sent month. On the last market day in Man
chester there was rather an improved demand for
1 goods, and yarns were not at all worse. The
supplies taken by the trade for nine weeks past
have been far below the average, and it is general
ly admitted that their stocks must now be reduced
1 to a very small amount. The belief in this, and
the expectation that the imp irt cannot be equal
to our wants this year, has generally preserved
confidence amongst holders, and prevented the
buyers from fully attaining their object of reduc
ing prices.

S9O REWARD.
STOLE.V,
From Mr. J. B. Guedron’s Stable,
</! 'is—on the night of the 12tli inst., a deep
Blood Bay HORSE, 3y’rsoldlast
VI spring; 15 hands U or 2 inches high,
both hind feet white, and I think one
of his fore feet also; walks and trots, carries his
tail a little on one side when moving, and is rather
lightly made in his thighs. No other marks are
recollected.—On the same night, there was a Sad
dle, Bridle, and Martingale missing from Mr.
Hibler’s Stable, and it ,is probable they were ta
ken with tho Horse. The Saddle is about
half worn, and the scat and front part of the skirts
are quilted—attached to which was a pair of large
brass Stirrup-irons. The above reward will be
paid for the delivery of the Horse to the sub
scriber; and any information respecting him, or
tho Thief, will be thankfully received.

! CIRCULAR. ”
THE Faculty op the Medical College
op the State of South Carolina an
nounce to the Public that the exercises of this
Institution will be resumed on the second Mon
day in November.
In issuing this, their Circular, they cannot
but congratulate themselves upon the success
, which has attended their exertions—the gradual
ly increasing Classes of each succeeding year,*
They proceed to state what has been done in’
the advancement of the interests of the College,
as well as the opportunities which are afforded for
the acquirement of a Medical Education.
The Public need not now be informed of the
new organization of the College, and of the es
tablishment of a Broard of Trustees of highly res
pectable gentlemen, who, free from contentions
and opposing interests, can more directly consult
3 the welfare of the Institution, and secure its well
3 being more effectually. Nor need they enlarge
1 upon the commodiousness of their building which
3 experience has proved fully equal for all the pur
poses of lecturing, and the convenience and ac
commodation of the students
In the several departments of the profession
the opportunities for improvement have been
much extended, and exertions made to place this
Institution upon as respectable a footing as any
other in the Union.
The Lihrahy established a year since, num
bers upwards of 2,000 volumes of useful, necessa
ry and valuable books,
i Additions have been made, by contributions and
- purchases, to the Museum, of Specimens in Na
tural History, Phrenological Casts, and Anato
mical preparations. Orders were sent during the
past year to France and Italy, for Anatomical pre
parations, of which some have been received, and
expected. Among the first, very interest
ing Specimens of the Absorbent system, from Bi
■ anchini of Pisa, which he has stated to be better
• than any ever sent to this country.
All of these are subordinate to the very ample
. opportunities afforded for the acquirement of a
! knowledge of Anatomy in its details. Os this
branch, it may truly be said to constitute the
i foundation of a Medical Education, and in no
, part of the Union arc the facilities for its full and
s comprehensive understanding more extensive, or
more available ; diligence on the part of the Stu
dent being alone necessary to perfect him in this
very essential department.
An Infirmary established by the Faculty, has
been instrumental in bringing to the notice of
the students, diseases and morbid affections of the
most interesting character. By reference to its
records during the past winter, it will be evident
how necessary an addition it forms to a medical
i education, where not only the most important dis
eases are exhibited, but the most skilful and suc
cessful methods of relieving them. Being under
the eye of the Student, the Curative Operations
are witnessed, and an opportunity is afforded in
surgical cases especially, not only of remedying
the disorder, but of conducting it through its sub
-1 sequent stages, to a healthy issue.
The OPERATIONS performed before tha
Class during the past year, were —Lithotomy
for Hydrocele, with the several modes of treat
ment, by incision, seton, and injection ; for Cata
ract, by depression, puncturing, and extraction ;
for Strangulated Hernia—- -ExTiRPATroN of
Cancerous Mamma and Tumors of various sizes
—Amputation of the Leg, Penis, &c.
Opportunities for Clinical Instruction, are fur
nished by attendance upon the Marino Hospital
and City Almshouse, the Wards, of which, by a
resolution of the City Council, are open to all
Students of .Medicine in the city.
The following comprise the Faculty, and the
Branches that are taught :
Anatomy —J. Edwards Hold rook, M. D.
Surgery —John Waoneh, M. D.
Institutes and Practice of Medicine —S. Hen.
ry Dickson, M. D.
- Physiology — James Moultrie, Jr. M. D.
Obstetrics — Thomas G. Prioleau, M. D.
Chemistry —Edmund Ravenel, M.D.
Materia Medica — Hekry R. Frost, M. D.
Demonstrator of Anatomy —John Bellinger,
The Candidate for a Diploma of the College
must have attained the age of 21 years—bear a
good moral character—have studied Medicine
three years with some respectable practitioner,—
have attended two full courses of Lectures, one of
which must be in this Institution—and one course
of Demonstrations in the Dissecting Room, and
must offer a respectable Thesis or Dissertation
upon some Medical subject.
Good Boarding and Lodging can be obtained in
the City at four dollars per week.
The healthiness of Charleston during the win
ter season, with its moderate climate, may be an
inducement with many to resort to this Institution
for health, and the prosecution of their medical
pursuits.

* The Class in 1832 and *34, numbered 104
Students, and 39 Graduates. The Class in 1834
and ’BS numbered 127 Students and 38 Graduates,
while they have inspirited themin their under
taking, have alsojreminded them of the extent of
their obligations, and excited them to renewed di
ligence in the performance of their duties. The
experience of ten years lecturing, has brought to
their knowledge much that was to be learnt, and
also furnished them an opportunity of correcting
much that was defective—of testing what was
doubtful, and of presenting the results of their la
bours and researches in a manner most easily re
ceived and comprehended by those who honor
hem with their attendance.
