f .. LATER ?ROM EUROPE. Tb. Br. Steam packet Aouita,Captain Karri»on, arrived at Boston on Wednesday last from Liver, pool, whance aha tailed on tho 10th ulu By this arrival wo have received " Wilmer A Smith’* Eu ropean Timet” to the latest dates, from which pa. per we copy the Foreign inttliigenca which will be found in our preceding columnt. Agricultural prospects are unutually nattering, and the general aspect of affairs is highly prosper ous, New cotton mills of immense size are springing up ilt Lancashire, and more are likely to bo built, A Ublo which hat just been published in the Lor., don papers, shows that since 1830 tire consumption of Colton has increased in lire South of Europo 800 percent.; in the North of Europe 03 percent; in England 40 per cent.; in tho United Slates 43 per cent.; and in Franco 33 per cent: The'Meynooth Bill, on the 10th, was read the third time end passed in the House of Peers by a vote of 181 to 80, and though it had not received the Royal assent at the latest dates, it lias doubt, leu ere this become a law. The project of establishing a line of steamers between France nnd New York has been revived, and is likely to become a law. We have been favored with the following com mercial letters, received in this city by the above arrival. “Liverpool, June 19.—Since the date of tho in closed circular the demand has been regular and good, the sales have averaged 0000 duily, and pri ces have a lender cy to advance, but without any decided change being made in quotations. To-day 10.000 bales were sold ; during the week 12,000 hrve been taken nn speculation. Trade is so good and (he price of Yarn so profitable to spinners, that they see their interest by holding Cotton largely, and'they buy freely. From India our advices are good; the promise of our harvest, nnd consequent, ly the prospects in the home trade nre singularly good.” “Llvebpool, June 18.—Since the departure of the last steamer there is no decided change in llio value of Cotton, but the market has nssumed more firmness and steadiness the last ten days, and par ticularly since the arrival of the Boston steamer of the 1st inst. with accuunts of tire falling off of the receipts into I lie American ports, and the ruther late end unpromising prospect fur the growing crop in the Atlantic Cotton region. This, together with the continued aclivo trade in Yurns have induced consumers to buy moro freely, and caused some partial speculative operations, notwithstanding the recent heavy import which has swelled the stock in this port to ubout 1,034,000 bnles, of which 815,. 000 is American, being an increase in the totnl stock of 115,000, and in that of American 148,000 over Inst season at the same period. The sales for the week ended 0th inst. were 28.000 bales, of which 1500 were taken on speculation nnd 2000 for export; and for the weekended 13th inst. they amounted to 43,870 bales, of which speculators took 8000 and exporters 3000 bales. The Am erican descriptions in the last week consisted of 10,770 Upland at 3 1.4 n 5 14 nnd 6 ; 14,030 Or- leans at 3 a 6 and 7 1-4; 10,000 Alabama and Mo bile at 3 a 5; and 440 Sea Island at 10 a 15d per lb. In the subsequent four business days to this evening the transactions are estimated ut 30.000 bales, about 10,000 of it on speculation. We quote Upland 3 1 4 u 6, fair 4 1 8: Orleans 3 1-4 a 0 14; fair 4 3 4; Mobile 3 1 4 a 5 18, fair 4 3 8; and Alabama and Tennessee 3 a 4 l-4d per lb. “Liverpool, June 13.—Colton.—Tito market opened with a fair demand, which has increased during the week, the trade being induced by the low quotations now cui rent to increase their stocks; prices, however, close without change, tho recent imports being so freely offered. Speculators have taken 8000 American and 100 Egyptians, and ex porters 25,000 American, 100 I’ernanibuco nnd 500 Sural. “Liverpool, June 10.—There lias been n gnod demand for short staple this week, whiclt is freely met by the importers; 37,000 bales sold without nny material hnrdeningof prices—fair Uplandsd u4sd„ and all others in proportion; the finer kinds are rather scarce, and bring relatively a good prieft Trade in Manchester is good. Yarifb are brisk, with some advance in price, whilst goods arc less animated. The probabilities of our crops nre fa vorable, und the futre prospect for business very good. Money easy." “Ha vre, June 16.—The ndviccs by the Ins’ Bos. ton steamer nre considered ns very favorable for Cotton, nnd the demand liuving been larger than was expected, holders have succeeded in obtaining a further ndvnnco from 1 a f. 1 50, ut which obotu 3000 bales have changed hands this morning, es tablishing quotn'ions fur Uplands at f.55 for bus; 1,59 for ires ordin.; G4J fur ordin.; 69] for honor- din.; 72$ for petit cotirnnt; ar.d f.74] lor boo cour- unt.

Tho demand, since our Iasi report, hns therefuro greatly revived, and been uninterruptedly good, tire buying bus been spirited, tho sales averaging daily 2.000 bulcs, with u decided improvement in prices, which have advanced fully f. 1 on ordinary descrip tions, f. 2 on middling und superior grades. Upon the whole, business has assumed u much more healthy aspect within these few days, alt' ntigli the accounts from Liverpool have not been of a nnture to impart any very nctive character to the transac tions. Wo have been put in possession of advices from the United States of 21st., via England, which contained nothing of a new complexion; those of the 24th nnd 31st idem by the packet-ship Louis Philippe and the Britannia stcumcr. arc shortly- looked for, nnd may bo expected to have some in. fluence on tiie situation of our market, inasmuch ns there seems to be reason for-anticipating that they will announce shipments to our port." Savannah, June 25, 1845. Gentlemen—Your note of tho loth inst. advising me of my nomination by tho Democratic Stale Convention as a candidate lor tho office of Governor, at the election in Octobler next, lias just been received. Considerations of “ high political impoitnnce" do not leave mo at liberty to refuse the call which has been nriado by the Republicans of Georgia. 1 therefore accept the nomination with a profound sensaof the honor it confers, nnd the responsibility it tilings with it. Tho Republican Standard committed temporarily to my charge, shall be unfurled with a confident hope tliul the peo ple of Georgia will rally to its support. If, Gen. tlcmcn, Victory perch not on llint standui d, it shall nevertheless, be recommitted to those who have entrusted it to mu, unstained by dishonor. The Issue of the coming conflict will either plucu our Stale by the side of Republican Virginia, or lock her in the unnatural embrace of Federal Massa chusetts. Onward then, my frionds ! As for my self, contending for the uscenduncy of Democratic principles, victory will bo hailed as truly glorious, and defeat will have its consolations. Accept my thanks for the very kind manner in which you havo conveyed to mo the wishes ol your constituents. Your friend and fellow.citizen, m. h. McAllister. James H. Stark, Valentino Walker, Joseph Junes, Charles Murphy, James M. Kelly,Committee. Above we publish the acceptance of Mr. M. Hall McAllister. We do not thii k it distinguished for Wit ability, und line very litllo thi appearance of mod- •aiy. “Onward then, my friends,” coming as it does from the nominee, is decidedly in bad taste and exhibits an unxieiv to be elected that is su premoly indelicate. And you really think AL- Mac that tho Buukor Hill Stale is Federal T Did you think so when you accepted the “ resigned of fice” from Mr. Adams for tho purpose of preventing Georgia from occupying her Indian lands 1 M.

For in 1834 no onendvocntril doctrines more strongly tinctured with Federalism than the pres ent nominee of the Republicans, By the by. why is it in this letter of acceptance, tho nnme of Do- mocrncy is dropped, nnd that of Republicans us. sumed ? We suppose it is currying out the divis. ion that lately took placo in Muscogee county, where the “decout portion" of the Democratic par. ty called themselves Republicans nod stigmatized the others as Democrats.—Southern Whig. MR. ADAMS’ DISTRICT ATTORNEY. The People of the Up country.—We are truly happy to leurn that Mr. McAllister und his friends are aroused to a proper sense of the importance of defending his conduct, in accepting the office of District Attorney under John Quincy Adams.— At first they were disposed to ireut tiie matter ru liter lightly—then they suddenly and steadfastly fixed their eyes on a certain Milledgeville print, and worshipped with their f.ces intently fixed on the Mecca of their political hopes—notv we are happy to know that the entire correspondence has been laid before tiie public, und the subject lias been taken up will) becoming gravity. Our readers will have observed one thing partic ularly. This correspondence is accompanied by a very labored nnd very respectable editorial, in which are embodied extensive extracts from Mr. Habersham’s letter. It is a singular fact, that ev ery extract thus exhibited is token from that purl of Mr. Habersham’s letter which had previously been published in detotchcd form, and not a syllabic of them from that portion of it which'had been previ ously suppressed ! ! This tve presume to be no in genious method of diverting attention from those parts of Mr. Habersham's letter which reflect up on Mr. McAllister’s conduct, and which, though published, it i9 thus intended to render nugatory. We pass this over, however, for the present, and defer our strictures upon Mr. McAllister’s res. ponse, which will be found in out paper to day. It lias been tauntingly asked what will lie “the next charge trumped up against the integrity of tiie Democratic candidate’’/ Though we are in clined to think that before tho canvass is over the charges against him will be so numerous, an eauve it teemed to give your sanction'io |h* print), pies upon which 1 had acted ; per hope pi Sue I may kaoe done yon injustice, for the principle is now scouted, by all Ihe presses of the-party with which you are acting,” $-c. •' * What a respectful but severe commentary i* this, coming as it does front such a man as Rlehard W. Habersham, upon the professions of Mr. McAllis ter in 1827, when about to receive bis commission as District Attorney, and of Mr. McAllister, uf- lerwards as the exponent of tiie true principles of the old Union party 1 Wo could give other senten ces of similar character from the suppressed por tions of this letter, but deem it useless, as our rca. dors enn examine it ut their leisere. They will not fail to noticu that part of it in which Mr. Mc Allister is reminded that his friendshnve denounced the Slate Rights party, of which Mr Haberslmin was a prominent member, ns seetitionists, disunion- ists. traitors, tj-c., and that in bis oration on the 4th of July previously, there was a squinting at the same kind of compliment, &cc. We trust that the charges in regard to consolidationism made agnist the Democratic nominee, nnd we believe not denied, may servo especially toincrenso the zeal of die few old Nulliliers who have gone over to his parly for political consolation and comfort. Some of these gentlemen were particularly loud in their plaudits of Mr. Habersham’s conduct ut the time. We have looked in vain for similar compliments to Mr. McAllister nn account of Ids disinterested con- ] duel in accepting the office from John Quincv ! Adams. That our readers may understand the 1 feelings of the people of Georgia nt the time, we give n fetv ot these toasts drank on the 4lh of July, I 1827, after the oflico hud been accepted by the present Democratic nominee for Governor.— j Tlieso were all regular loads, except where the name of the person giving them is mentioned : AT MILLEDGEVILLE, Ricli’d.

An arbor and stand were erected in the bcauti. ful grove which surrobnds the Church, and seats provided for the audience, which numbered about five hundred. After prayer by the Rev.

The day we celebrate—Cherished by every tnrough tbeir cliairman-.ibe following preamble and reaolutiona: It is with unfeigned regret we learn of the death of the patriot JackaoA—and while'mingling our tears with those of our countrymen, we cherish within our bosoms a deep sense of gratitude for bis public sorvice*.

Nearly allied to Mr. McAllister’s acceptance of office under John Quincv Adams, was his la bored defuncc of the Northern States against tiie charge of Abolitionism in 1834. lie was then a Union man and a candidate for tiie Senate in Chat ham. It was necessary to conciliate I lie Northern voters. This Mr. McAllister hud a perfect right to do, just as he lias now a right to make u passing fling at Federal .Massachusetts—but lie went further and made some very grave churges against the cit. izens of the tcheat growing regions of his own Slate, We havo some curiosity to know iiow lie and Ids friends will explain such language ns the following to the Democratic voters of Cherokee. ]l is Ihe first, and indeed Ihe only instance in which they have been gravely charged by one of their fel low citizens as being .more obnoxious on the sub ject of Abolit.onism and Slavery’ than tiie ff.o- ple of the Noi.tii ! Yet such is the only fair in terpretation which can he given to the following extract from Mr. McAllister’s Oration, deiivcrtd in Savannah on tiie 4th of July, 1834: “No, my countrymen, it is from a different quarter we must expect inierfercncc with our rights. Look not at tlie distant horizon for tho coming tempest, when the thunder-cloud may be ready to burst directly over your heads! Did Congress legislate upon the Interest to which allusion is now made, in the Slate ot New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware? Did not tho blow come from the respective Legislatures of those States? Refer to the struggles between the Mountain and Atlantic districts of Virginia in relation lo this species of property, which for some years past has ag itated that Stale, and which were mere fully developed ill their recent Convention. Look to the surface of your own State, and you will perceive that the representatives in our domestic Legislature from that portion of the Slate where our peculiar properly is essential to its prosperity, will in a few years bear no proportion to the number of those who will represent a wheat growing community, where a peculiar species of labor may and probably will be entirely dispensed with. What then will be come OF OUR RIGHTS, LEFT TO THE “SUPREME SOVER EIG.NTY” of A MAJORITY OF THF. PEOPLE OF THE STATE ? Be not deluded, my countrymen. The best protection wo who live along the coast can have for our rights, is lo be found in an equal support of the General and Slate Governments, in order that each limy serve as a check upon the other." Here then is a grave charge It is nindo in the words of Mr. McAllister himself, as published with the approval of the Editors, in tho Georgian, ol August 5th, 1834. How wiillio explain this lan guage lo the outraged and slandered citizens of Cherokee whose- votes he is now seeking ? If there ure any documents on this point let litem be produ ced. We deem it u work of supeierogution to de fend tiie people of the middle and upper portions of Georgia against this charge of being unsound on the subject of slavery. We linve know t) them long and well, and u more patriotic people, a people more (leveled to tiie institutions and interisls of their State docs not exist. Much ns they have been underrated by a certain class of pretenders, they nre entirely competent to defend themselves nguintt nil such charges ns this, preferred by the Democratic nominee for Ihe oflico of Governor.— We leave tho subject only for tiie present. Sa v. Rep. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF 1827 In accordance with a determination proclaimed in our last, we commence to-day tho publication oi llie correspondence which look placo between Messrs. McAllister & llubershnm, in 1834. We prefer to give the letter of Mr. llubershnm entire, und not in disconnected paragraphs, as it has ap peared in the Democratic press. It is rather strange that Mr. McAllister's friends now manifest tiie same reluctance tow ards giving this letter en tire which Mr. McAllister himself (lid when re. quested lo publish it by Mr. Habersham, Mr. 11. in his letter to Mr. McAllister says : “As it (meaning his letter) may fall into other lianrli less honorable than your own, and I am un willing that it should be garbled, you will I am sure, tin me the justice to publish it entire, and on Ihe same sheet and that immediately." This was on tiie 30ih of August, 1834. On the 8th of September, Mr. McAllister, it seems, tvns still loo busily engaged in performing Ids duties us n member of the Board of Health, occasioned by fears existing in relation to Cholera, ipc., to com. ply with tho nbovo rcnsonublo request! But we puss lids over at present. One would naturally sup. pose llml uudor suclt a request us llio above, from ono so greatly und so deservedly respecled as Mr. Habershum, llio letter in question would never appeur in uny oilier shnpo than entire with tho sanction of Mr. McAllister or his friends.— Such is not however tiie cuse. That part of it only which suits their purposes bus been ullowcd to see lire light. At ttic lime tho appointment tvus accepted, Mr. [lubershuin seems to have thought Mr. McAllister siuccro in Iris professions. Sub. sequent experience seems not to have folly con- firmed his first impressions. Would it not have burnt well in giving Ids triumphant vindication lo Imvo added the following: Mr. Haborsltum to Mr. McAllister says: “Tho condition contained in your letter of ac ceptance was also highly satisfactory to me, be- According to previous notice, many citizens of j pn*riot heart—muy the thrilling events which gave Jones county met this day in the Court-house, to I j t ^irth bo impressed on tire mind of every new testify their respect for tire memory of Gen.

T II E L A T E CONVE N T | 0 N. We gave, in our last, the actings of the Whig Cos. J vention, but were so pressed for time, (as ourpape, went lo press immediately upon the adjournment ofth* Body,) that we gave them almost without comment— We will, therefore, take this occasion to present a few remarks, in relation to it, to our readers at a distance who, wo feel satisfied, will receive them with much satisfaction. The delegates began to assemble in our citv on the Saturday preceding the appointed day—and continual 1 coming in until the hour at which tiie B'idy convened on Monday morning. In ail, there wore present, 182 members, ami these represented 02 counties. It was a large—indeed, a very large assemblage, considering the circumstances under which it was gotten up. It is well known, that in many counties, 1 Convention was not deemed expedient or desirable,and several of these (ailed to send delegates. All knew that tho present incumbent of the Executive Chair would be nominated for re-election, and, acquiescing in whatever the Convention would do, the counties unrep resented were more numerous than usual. But fur ail this, it was a iarge Convention—one composed of re. pectable and patriotic citizens, anxious to maintain tho interests pf the people, and secure the future proa, perity of Georgia. We conversed with a large number of the Delegates 111 person, and hut one impression was left upon our mind, in regard to the result of the contest. It wa^ I this—that the people, the bone and sinew of our Stale are tired of clap-trapnmi political liumbuggmj. and ari determined, in the approaching contest, lo reward the | faithfulness of the present incumbent, by re-electing him. They see, ur enough of thorn, of both parlies, see I that the State has been upon llio verge of ruin, 1 tliat he has rescued, and restored her to her former el. I evated condition. They see that a few years more of misrule, and their burthens W’ould be intolerable; and I they are now determined to sustain him who has steer- ed them safe into a port of safety. In a word, we have I been impressed, by these conversations with our | friends from various sections of the Stale, that Ihe peo ple of Georgia are determined to hold fast to ourprosent I Chief Magistuate, and that, despite of parly drill, ot I uulitical leaders, they will re-elect bun ill October next. Never before were our friends from all parts of the Stato so confident! Buoyed up, not only by their own I •strength, but by the countenance of many, who, in some respects, differ from them, they exhibited a confidence of success which wo have never before witnessed. Tho oeuple, they said, “are with us ; they are all Crawford men, except the leaders, nnd those who go for party in spite of every thing, and even tlieso havo nothing tonj igainst iiis Administration, and arc obliged to admit that he has made a most excellent and faithful Gorer- j nor; and how can they beat us under such circum stances!” Such was the general expression ol coal- | ience, and we give it to our readers to cheer them« •card in their course. No discussion took place in tho Convention. The Democrats, w hen they were here, made many and long speeches, in which some of them indulged largely ia 1 ribaldry and abuse. The Whigs liavo not imitated their example. They did their business promptly,qui etly ; indulged in no abuse of their adversaries, but j pursued the '‘even tenor of their way,," believing lint many of the wrong w’ould soon become right, and that tho right would yet prevail. Over the deliberations of the Convention, Gen. Dos. an I, Clinch presided.. Tills gallant old soldier, one to w hom Georgia is so much indebted, and one whom lit* "Georgia boys," those who have waded in Florida’s swamps and marshes, all venerate—presided with great dignity. It was, by acclamation, tliat ho was called M the Chair, and the spontaneous bursl of applause which greeted him ns lie look Iiis seat, paleu Iiis check andci. cited more of emotion in him, than did ever the roarof j an enemy’s cannon. It was, to us, an interest ing •cm*’ To see one, who had faced his country’s enemy in ma ny a battle; one upon whose ear the Indian’s warwhoop had often fallen; and one bred a soldier and used to command ; to see such a one, if we may so term it, ex- liibiting embarrassment in being called upon to preside over a body of civilians, strange as it may appear to | some, can be accounted forbyal! w ho know how ^appre ciate modest merit, and the refined emotions of the liumM I heart. The “oldsoldier” was overpowered byihccloqaMt ccomiums passed upon, and the high compliment paid him, and with brevity and grateful feelings, tendered his I acknowledgements for Ihe honor conferred ; and if, 1 * | failing to make a long and flowery speech, he Hal di« pleased our adversary, the Federal Union, who J***“ I ingly refers to it, let that paper console itself with • I reflection, tliat all the ink it sheds can never {jpjp I Gen.
