Every thing looks well for a hvoly time during the next two months. We s ha!l liavo a splendid “iNAiraURAi. Ball" ot the “Har- ry Clry” on Wednesday night after tho session com mences, to which havo been invitod the Fair belles oroutt State from every section of it, and their ex pected pretence will no doubt tempt many a “gay and gallant youth” to visit tho capital also. All things combined, wo can promise our friends, who think of visiting Millcdgoville, during the coming sees ion, a pleasant limp. Come ono—come all--therc will bo plenty of room for you.

Of all the riola that have ever taken place in this “land of freodnm," the "feminine one,” that recently took place at Pittsbu-g, beats them all. There the fac- lnr y B*rl* “turned out” for tho purpoao of enforcing the “ten hour system,” and such antics as were cut, were never aeon or hearJ of before. They isetne l, moat un fortunately too, to havo forgotten whore their strength >»y instead of tongue lashing the manufacturers* and the authorities of the city, until thoy lashed them into compliance with thoir wishes, tite girls actually flourished sticks (not broom-sticks, but regular .hills- labs) and bonnets at a furious rate, and otherwise alarm ed tho peaceable citizens of Pittsburg, without, we fesr, doing themselves any good. No doubt though, that thoir -'turn out” for tho ”ten hour system,” was justifiable. We arc only sorry they did resort to, un. handsome ways, in order to effect their end, The poor ,u,i in «««.. — .... ... .—.things, we have no doubt, had. they only scolded, instead tafely assert, that the candidates fur Door Keepers, ' ‘•flourishing sticks and shaking thoir bonnets, would have effected more good for themselves than they have done. That mayor they could have followed all over town, and have scolded even him into being their cham pion. Two or three good sound, caudleized lectures, from tho tongues of two or three black or blue eyed beauties, would havo converted, not only the Mayor, but half of Pittsburg, into being their champion, Ten hours uut of the twenty.four for any female to labor is hard work enough—and he who does not think so, may he have tied to him—hut no!—may he never realise that truthful assertion of tho Poet, that “Woman was Heaven’s last, lest gift to man.” even if a riot in Pitta- burg has been headed by the much imposed upon Fac tory Girls. Messengers, Secretary, Clerk, Solicitors, Judges, and Slate House officers, will not bo quite as numerous as lliey have previously been ; but of this we know noth ing, and cannot therefore speak advisedly. All that wo promise to our friends abroad, is, that, if they will visit us, all that we can do to make them contented ami hap. py while here shall ba done. To the stranger too, wo are ready toexlond the right hand of fellowship. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON TIIE STATE RAIL ROAD. We copy the following from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel; but while doing so, will state that we have been informed that neither Mr. Garnett nor Mr. Stockton havo been as seriously injured, as the state ment below represents. Mr. Garnett’s leg being only fractured below the hip, and Mr. Stookton having es caped with severe flesh wounds. The conductor, Mr- Higlismith, had his foot cut off—but they were all do ing tvell, having immediately received surgical alien, dance. Distressing Railroad Accident We arc pained to learn that a most distressing accident occurred on Tuesday night,above Marietta, on the State road, by which C. F. M. Garnett, the State Engineer, had ono of his thighs broken in two places, his assistant, Mr. Stockton, had both legs broken and horribly mangled, and the conductor, whose name wo did not learn, had one leg entirely cut off. This is the account we have had of this dreadful affair, and it has reached us so di rect, that we fear it is not exaggerated. The accident occurred, wo learn, in this way. Tho Engine left the depot with a load of iron to be trans port to the point at which they were laying down the rail, leaving a car laden with iron at the point from which they started, the wheels of which during their absence became unscotched and it being down grade the car moved off a considerable distance up the road. Tbo Engine having deposited the iron, was returning in the night, pushing the cars (upon which were Messrs. Gar- null, S'ockton and the conductor) ahead, and as the Engiucer was unconscious of danger, ran into the car which had escaped from the depot. THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION. This Convention is exciting great interest, particu larly in the Statea of South Carolina, Georgia, and Ten. ncssec. It is to assemble on the 12th November next at Memphis. Delegations have been sent from Charles, ton, Savannah, and Augusta, composed of some of the most talented citizens of each place, as well as their most practical business men. The object of the Convention is to consider of measures deeply affecting the interests of the Western. South Western, and Southern Status. One of its leading objects will be, to call tiic attention of Congress to the improvement of the Western Navigable Waters, as well as to a con nection between the Atlantic Ports—Savannah and Charleston—with the great West. The latter object is of sufficient importance itself, to command tho at tention of our citizens—and we are glad to see that Georgia will be ably repreaented there. THE WORLD’S CONVENTION. This Convention assembled in New York aome time since to enact wonders. It proposed to “reform the world," but from its deliberations, and the parts played by ita leading members, we fear lhat reform will never be the result of its assemblage. That great “philan- thropisl," Robert Owen, must have lost confidence in hie schemes, when he saw the ••motley herd" whom he had boon mainly instrumental in bringing together from distant places. Like those, who, in ancient times, attempted to build a certain tower, they spoke langua ges which were not understood—all has been confu- sion. One Mr. Hays has been quite a prominent member, and has undoubtedly exercised vast influence —for lie made his brother reformers havo confidence in bie schemes when they acknowledged that they under stood him uot. Witness the following resolution : “Resolved, That tho thanks of this Convention ho presented to Mr. Hays for ins clear and lucid plan of benefitting mankind ; and Oust he be requested to explain what it all means." Wo have heard of ono Mr. Hays who is colebrated far being instrumental in benefitting and reforming mankind—wo mean Mr. High Constable Hays of New lerk. Can lie be (lie Conveutinner whose "lucidplan" 11 so willingly taken upon trust 1 TENNESSEE, AND HER POOR SCHOOL FUND! We have been most forcibly impressed with the fol lowing, which wo find in the Nashville Whig, of tho 16th inat. VVo extract from the report of Mr. Nichol. President of tho Bank of Tennessee to the Legislature efihat Slate, uuw iu session. In relation to tho pour school lund, Mr. Nichol, says. ’‘The school fund now in the bank, for the safe cus. l0 dy of which the State stands pledged, amounts to eight hundred and forty seven thousand, throe hundred *nd eighty nine dollars. This sacred fund could uot ei niy humble opinion find so soruro sn investment as in the bonds of the State, issued fur internal improvement purpose,, and it would at the present current value command inure than one million of dollars in these bonds, yielding an annual interest of more than fifty housand dollars, for the education of the youth of the “"Hairy. That portion of iho hank’s capital derived ''out the sale of the six per cent bonds, amounting to one inulion of dollars would, I presume, bo sufficient to re- 8 °nt the same, whilstsix hundred and twenty five thou- ‘and dollars of the surplus revenue received from the gov - ’anient would redeem the residue of internal improve- 10111 bonds now nut, amounting in all to one inillinu snv "hundred and forty two thousand six hundred and sixty '* dollars and sixty.six cools, together with those is up “ for the bank of one million of dollars, which will been liquidated, leaving a surplus of aevon bun- 'ed and twenty.eight thousand two hundred and nine , ,r » and fil'ty.five cents, still in bank, of tbo General nverninent deposit fund unappropriated.” ^°w, it appears to us that it this plan will answer a °r purpoao in Tennessee, it should answer the same "Georgia, For instance, there is a foreign debt due ■ " ur "Rato, amounting to something over $200,000 °"ld not this debt be made tn constitute, iu part, tbe w *chool fund of the State, by an exchange or aalo in ’tie way, of the Sincke in the Bank of the Stale and '"’k of Augusta I It aeema to ua that it might easily : effected, and good result in two ways. Fuel, a for- NATIVE AMERICANISM, Wo havo heretofore written* of the mischievous ton. dencies of this, the last political ism, by which the great Whig Party, with Mr. Clay at its head, was re cently defeated. We now take pleasure in publishing the following, which shows what Henry Clay himself thinks of the Native American Party. Read it, Whigs every where, and take counsel from it. Opinion of Mr, Clay.—The Louisville Journal, epeaking of Mr. Clay's opinion, says: “We carefully weigh our words when we assert, as we now do, that he regards the formation of a third par- tyupon tho‘ono idea’ of Native Americanism as ill-judg- ed, mischievous, and suicidal. He does not believe that tho Abolition party, or any other party founded on a single idea, can ever accomplish any good for the country: We may add, that he is fully of opinion that, but for the Native American movement, the Whigs would have been victorious tn the Presidential election of last fall" We have too before ua an account of a Native meet ing held in the District of Moyamensing, Penn, on a recent occasion. There, the late Democratic triumph in Baltimore was claimed as a Native American victory t The meeting was a large one, and was addressed by a Democratic orator, Gen. Horatio Hubbcll, who denoun cedviolontly every thing but Native Americanism and its principles. Thus “wags the world"! To-day,tho Whigs of the whole Union, are made to Buffer and bear defeat, because of the alliance of some Whigs with Native Americanism—and hardly havo they been de feated, ere loco foco orators are hand and glove with those whom but so lately they so violently abused: — Well may Mr. Clay say that “the idea of a third party upon the “one idea” of Native Americanism” is "ill- judged, mischievous and suicidal," ELECTION OF A MEMBER OF CONGRESS IN FLORIDA. The Tallahassee Star of Florida gives tho following aB the probable result of the election for a Member of Congress from that State. In West Florida, 450 maj. for Cabell, (Whig.) #4# [<iomi»»"«dxh* or m tiiifinM cwmml) W JMHIMTONi JJ1. „ The rumor of tbo Cabinet changes become* etroeger (vP** of late. It is positively asserted that Mr.Buchanan la about to leave the Slate Department for the Judgeship; that Mr. Walker will succeed him; lhat Mr. Mason will succ.eod Mr. Waiker, and that Mr. Barton, the present Sulieilur of the the Treasury, will be appointed Attorney General. 1 am inclined to think that there •a some foundation for this rumor. But I am quite certain that Mr. Walknr will not leave the Treasury Department until the fate of hie ayitem of finance is de cided. it is impossible that, pledged sa lie is to use all hit influenenand efforts, as Secretary of the Treasu ry, for the ‘ reduction of the tariff to the revenue stand ard,” he can leave Ins post before his object shall be accomplished or shall have failed after every exertion. Wore lie to leave his post now it would placo him in a doubtful situation, but ono that has a parallel in Ilia sudden abandonment of the financial department by Mr* Gallatin,at the declaration of the war ol 1812.— Mr. Gallatin left tho Department, according to Mr. Clay, for tho purpose of saving Ilia reputation as a finan cier. Ho had succeeded well when there was nothing lobe done. Uut when tho day of trial came Mr. Galla tin was too well awaro of its dfficulty and hazard to slick by his poBt, and he exchanged t, accordiug to Mr. Clay, for a Russian mission, founded on the humbug of a Russian mediation, which, aa Mr. Clay explained, was got up by Mr. Gallatin himself. Mr. Walker stands in a position of as much responsibility as Mr. Gallatin in 181.2. I(e h s a task before him of as much difficulty, and be cannot shrink from it. Who shall be the next Speaker of the Houso is now a question of some interest. Mr. Charles J Ingersoll, Mr. Hopkins, ol Virginia ; Mr. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia : and Mr. John W. Davis, of Indiana, are the prominent candidates. The House will not give this station to Virginal, you may roly upon that. The question is between Mr. Davis ami Mr. Ingersoll—betweon the West and the North. It is a matter of some importance to tbe conn- try. Tho nation has somo feeling in the matter..— They wish to aeo in that poeitiun a nun prominent in talent and public character. No one can hesitate up on the question as respects the two individuals. At llie same time that Mr. Davis is highly respectable, I would prefer him to Mr. Ingersoll as Chairman of the Com mittee of the Whole, but as Speaker Mr. Ingersoll is the* man. New York, Oct. 21. Fires.—At half past 6 o'clock last evening a Hire broke out in the cellar of No. 11, Spruce street, occu pied by Benj. Fenner, as a Liquor and porter cellar. Some operation wasgoingon when the liquor took fire, and immediately the whole building was in flames. One man was veiy badly burned in the first explosion of tbe fire. The building was occupied on the main floor by Bell & Isaacson, as an auction store. Their bool<8 were saved, but some three thousand dollars worth of furniture was destroyed. The chambers were occupied by Newell & Clapp, publishers: Mr, Eustis, and M.r. Hewitt, also publishers. No. 13 Spruce street, occu pied on the first floor by the Saugerliea paper manu facturing Co., Stevenson's composition manufactory, and Henry Kyepps, picture frame gilder, was drenched with water, and the properly very much damaged. The buildings in Frankfort street in the rear of the fire, were considerably injured. Several poor families were driven hastily fromihcir homes. The building No. 11 was owned by Thompson Price, Esq. The Star Police were very useful, as they have been on all similar oc casions since their organization. Most of the property destroyed was uninsured. The ship chandlery establishment No. 91 West at. took fire on Sunday morning about five o'clock and its contents were much injured. While the bells were ringing for church, a fire broke out in a building used for iho purpose of refining gold and silver, and also for gold beating, in tho rear of 184 Laurens street. Tbe building of brick, was entirely burnt out. * lOuxaCRifT, itih ii**r.] In Middle, do In East Florida, In South, 50 do —500 250 maj. for Brock’gh.

The news from this State, is also cheering to tho Whig cause. The Senate will stand 21 Whigs, and 14 Democrats. In the House 48 Whigs, and 22 Demo crats. Majority on joint ballot 33 for the Whigs. NEW HAMPSHIRE. The contest in this State was for a member of Con. gross. Goodwin was tho regular Whig candidate, and Woodbury the Democratic candidate—butanother can didate Hale, was also in the field. The vote stands thus. For Woodbury 18,010—for Goodwin, 10,055— for Hale 8,355—scattering 121. As it requires a ma jority of tbe whole vote to elect, there has been no choice made—but it may be considered as a Whig vic tory as, (he Democrats have failed to elect their can didate, upon whom all their force was centered. (CORKESPOSDENCK or THE CHARLESTON COURIER.] New York, Oct. 21. The nows by the Hibernia yesterday morning creat- ed considerable excitement. Tbe anxioly to hear far- ther of the stale of the crops in Europe was very great. A quilt panic seized some of the speculators hi Flour after the foreign news had been digested, and the mar. ket opening at $5 8I.J a 75, fell rapidly to $5 G2£ a 5 50, under the sales of those who had bought last week on speculation. Indeed, near all the large transactions since the market was at $5 75, have been speculative, and the rise has been produced by these operations. At @0 50 a shipper came in yesterday and look 5,000 bbls. Geuuessee for Liverpool. Sales of 2000 bbls. were also made, on long sellers option, at a still lower price. The market I judge closes with somo firmness at 85 50 a 5 02J—holders asking tho higher rate, The market for ether descripnons is unsettled. On Saturday afiernuon a sale of 1000 bbls of Genesee was made al $5 871 The Cotton market is at a stand undor the foreign news, and I hear of no sales worth of report. The feeling is of course downward, and a further decline must be submitted to by holders before transactions to any extent can be made. Tucre is no news, and no other effect of the foreign advices to notice. A fire broke out just below tho Tribune office Iasi night, and for a while it was supposed that the Tribune Buildings must go, they were finally Baved, by great exertions. The Accident on the State Road.—The Advocate of Wednesday tlio22d inst., published at Marietta, has the following account of the accident on the State road: Accident on the Stale Hoad.—We regret that we havo been called upon to notice a serious accident which has taken place on the W. &. A. Railroad. The first trip of the Passenger Tram, (on 21st inst.,) from Marietta to within a few miles of the Hightower, (ho cars came in collision with a freight car standing upon the road, and being dark there was no time afforded to avoid the effects. We regret to state that Mr. T. H. Highsmith, the conductor, had his leg so badly mangled thatampu. tation was deemed necessary. Mr. Garnett, the Chief Engineer, we learn, had a thigh bone broken. There were no lives lost, and no other serious misfortune with which we have been made acquainted. 1 ■ .r t At Washington.—The letter of our occasional cor respondent from Washington, was yesterday charged with some matters of deep import, rather alluded to than defined. In conversation with a friend, who left the District about the time our correspondent wrote, we received the impression that the gossip which we pub- lished, had been heard by others, and that the delermi. nation of the Cabinet is to present to Congress, very strong views of the rights of this country to all that it has claimed of Oregon, and to present those views with little or none of the softening light, which deptivns thoir picture of too much breadth, and which allows objects to stand forward, without offending the eye. There will bo a Locoforo majority in both Houses of Congress ; but we have had occasion to notice, for a long lime, that there ia agrowing dislike for war, and a consequent shrinking from positions that looked like provocation. The very talking of war, in National Councils, is a disturbance of lhat repose and confi dence which go to promote general prosperity. Hence wo inter, we hope, at least, and hope strongly, that the tone of the President, or anyone or two of his special adherents in Congress, will be rebuked by the majority and that the true interests of lh>- country will bo’con- suited, by continuing negotiation upon honorable grounds, rather than by defeating all peaceful attempts with offensive and offending gasconade. We would not waive a single right of our nation loan inch of soil, even though that soil be Oregon; but we would not have tHe whole protective interests of trie country dis turbed by a vicious inodo of making that assertion, and the current of business checked, to satisfy the party views of certain individuals. — Philadelphia Gazelle.

[raon tms Banes TitASacaifr, ARRIVAL OE THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM. SHIP HIBERNIA. seven bar« later. Tim Royal Steamship Hibernia, was telegraphed from the station of the Merchant’s Exchange till! (Hun. day) morning, at 45 miuuMs past A o'c'ock, at whirl) time she was 20milea east ol the lower atation,and 30 mile* from Boston. She arrived ut Iter wharf in East Boston, at 9J o', clock, bringing seven days Inter news from Europe, and making her passage iu fifteen days. She sailed from Liverpool on the 4ih inst. We make our extracts chiefly from tho European Times: Commercial.—-The Cotton market, which was dull this day week, at the sailing of llic Great Britain, Hti I continues in an inactive stalo. Therpintations on most descriptions, except Sea Islands, have receded an ^<1 per lb., and at the lime we write, the market is heavy, with a downward tendency. The absorbing feeling in railway shares may have partially contributed to this, and the rising price of provisions, with the approach of winter, is also to be taken into account. The Commit, lee of Brokers have declared the price for the present week to be—Bowed, 4Jd.; Mobile, 4|d.; and Orleans, 6d. FRANCE. Paris, Sept 30.—Much allenlion has been paid in this capital, both by the press and the public, to the re- cent arrivals Irom ihe United States with respect to Mexico. The probability of war or no war lias been discussed ; but all journals and nil parties are unani mous in thinking lhat it would be the very height ol folly for Mexico to attempt hostilities. The tale of the Tunes, of London, of the finding of slave shackles in the wreck of the noble American ves sel, tho Missouri, lias been received in this city with varied feelings of contempt, disbelief, and indignation. All our journals, without a single exception, designate it as a falsehood, many characterise it aa a most infa. moua calumny, and some think it a lie so monstrously stupid as not to merit the holier of an answer. Washington Irving’s arrival at Bordeaux, from Ma drid, was announced some days ago, and it was said that he was entrusted with a special inisainn to the Go vernment of France, Up to this time, however, he has not arrived in Psria. Mr. King, tho American Minister in this country has returned to Paris, and re. sumed his duties, after having travelled for a few weeks in Switzerland and Italy, The news from Algiers is of Ihe usual character— continual outbreaks of the natives in ihe provinces sub jected to France, vengeance of the French authorities, aud threatened attacks frutn Abd-el ICader. Pennsylvania Election—The Pennsylvania* thus briefly sums up the probable result of the late election for members of the Slate Legislature in Pennsylvania : “The Senate of this 8lnte is composed of lliirlty, thren members, and will staod Democrats eighteen, Whigs fifteen. Democratic majority three. “ i’ho House of Represeutativea is composed of one hundred members. The Democrats, we think liavo sixty or sixty-five of them. The residue Whig, uiid Anti masons—Nntivcsnone; although perhaps, all are natives of Ihe good old Keystone,” The Giiiiat Britain.—Thu New York Ilur aid ol Sunday says: Tho monster steamer was yesterday raised on the floating dock ot the foot of Market stiect. At ubuni II o’clock she enleretl the dock In a very gruceful style, and in a few minutes the powerful umcliincry wn» in operation which is used for the purpose of raising ships Very slowly she rove, mid about 3 o’clock she was ruised ns high us it was intended for her to ho ut the time. She is now neurly six feet in the wnter, mid on Monday will bo raised entirely out. The workmen are now employed in applying iwo new funs to her propeller. It will be quite a feather in the cap of the Dock Company if every tiling passes off well—to say that the grout Grout Britain was repaired in a New York Dock. Thu Grout Britain, alter tier return to Englund, lays up lor such a Iterations and improvements us she requires. Sue will leave Liverpool, on her re- turn to Now York in February. Galveston dates to the lUlli instant have been receiv ed at New Orleans. The brig Galveston arrived there on Iho 6th, in 16 days from New York, with arms and ammunition be longing to the U. S. Government, It is slated that General Taylor arrested several Mex icans as spies, and although lie had strong evidence against them.yet ho permitted them to go at large, un der the impression that their reports of the condition of 1118 camp would do no haim. An Expert Executioner—The Boston Journal re. ccntly told a pretty tall siory of Sir Everard Digby, who was executed in England fora political offence. After decapitation,the executioner took up ihe head by tbo hair, and selling ir down on die block, exclaimed, “iliero is the head of a traitor.” The head instantly replied, “dial is a lie.” This story reminds us of another, relating to the se- Icctonof an executioner by the Duy of Algiers, some fifty years since. It was the custom to make Ihe se lections from the prisoners of war, and tho office was much sought as tbe person selected thus obtained his liberty. Oil the occasion referred to there were threo candidates, a Frenchman, an Englishman, and an Amer ican. The tr al of skill was to be ntide hi die public square nl Algiers. Three convicls were brought out ami placed on the Hand, their necks aud shoulders made bam, and a red diread drawn about the neck of each lo mark die place of decapitation. The French, man advanced first, and with a single stroke of the sword, severed die head of his man so near die line, a* to call forth tbe loudest plaudits from die delighted Algerines. The Englishman next came forward, and with inimitable grace decapitated bis subject.—Tho acclamations w ere loud and long from every side, and it seemed doubtful, lo wInch of Ihe two the prizo would be awarded, lor dial it would be lo one or tho other of thorn did not seem lo admit of a question. The Amer ican, however, was entitled to a trial, and took bis po- itinn. When all things were ready, he gave a whisk ol die sword, so sudden and so swift that it was hardly observed, aud the convict exclaimed' “All ! you have missed me.” "Have I ?” said he. “spit then.” Lean ing forward a little lospit, the head tumbled from tho shoulders, and rolled away upon the platform, having been severed with such exceeding niceness, that tho subject himself was not aware of it. The whole audi ence were now silent with astonishment, and the office was awarded to the Americau. Worcester Spy. A Christian Governor in Pbrsia.—A letter from the Rev.

Friday Evening, Oci. 3, 1845.— Without any additional information bearing upon our Cotton Market, we have lost ground this week. The demand has at no moment been more lhan moderate, and occasionally we have been dull and flat. Under tills stale of things American descriptions are jd. lower, and every other sort, including Egyptians, Brazils, Su- rats, &.c. are easier to purchase. This slight retro grade movement is therefore to be attributed lo the gradual pressure arising from the weigh: of our stoelt. LjOO American have been taken on speculation, and 200 for export.

American Cottons are generally an Jd. per lb. lower, and in many instances Jd., and in a few on the best qualilies |d. por lb. Iu Brazils and Egyptians there is no perceptible change, but they are dull of sale. A few of the latter, very tine, sold at auction, this morning at from 12d. to 12£d. per lb.

Oct. 3d, 1815,—We had a continuance of lino weather during the early part of the month of September, when ihe harvest operations made consid erable progress and about three fourths of the crop were then secured. The apprehensions which had been previously entertained, and business in al! iis branches felt the beneficial effect. Within the last fortnight we have a return of very ungcmal and wet weather, which injures that part of the crop which still remains out; and as il has been discovered that the yield of this year's wheat is but very light, there lias been considerable speculation in Wheat and Corn, All this, added to the excitement of the Corn market, du ring whiclitlio price of Wheat advanced Is. per bushel, aud Flour 4s. per barrel. Since then there lias been less activity and prices arc barely maintained, because tho weather has become again rather more settled. Liverpool, 3rd. Oct. 1845.—In consequence of the more favornltle report of tho Cotton crop received from tires United Slates, by tlip last steamer, our market since the departure of the "Great Britain,” 27th ul'o., lias been extremely Hal and prices ol all descriptions of American are |d per lb. lower. The sales for the week ending this evening only reach 23,930 hales, of which 1,500 arc on speculation. The American de scriptions consist of 4,700 Uplands at 3| a 4j; fair 4j; 10,200 Orleans al 3J a 6; fair 5d; 4,500 Alabaman and Mobiles at 3j a 5; and 200 Sea Islands at 11 a 20d per lb. The to'al stock of Cotton in ibis port is 04,7000 bales against 901.000 last year. The stock of Ameri can is 726.000 bales, or 62,000 more than at the same period last season. The annoxed loiter, published in the Philadelphia U. S. Gazcttr, contains statements which will bo read with concern. It is under date of Washington, Oct 18. 1845. I hear a good dual of gossip, much more than I think it worth while lo write to you, and some which may be interesting to you and your readers —not that I can vouch fur any Cabinet matters, but can assure you that wliat I lull you 1 bear from, what I call, good authori ty. Y’ou remember about the time Mr. McLanc was starting lor England, the Globe took occasion to say that he waa not to be a special Minister, hut was lo take Mr. Everett’s place. Tins, then, led to the ioqui ry, “where would be tlie place of negotiation between the British aud American agents 1” At Washington. “Why, then, should Mr. McLanc be in London, if lie was to be identified with the negotiation at Washing ton i” It would be better, it is said, for him ; his in fluence with the British Minister in London would be more effective, than with the British negotiator at Washington. So much for the umlcrlaking ; now for the progress. Mr, McLano has mure than once asked permission lo return. Why 1 Among other reasons, because he is not entrusted with information, nor moved by instructions relative to tbo most important part of Ins mission ; and it is thought that means have been used, ur arc io be used, to induce him tn leave Loudon. Tim means bclnng lo the administration.— Wliat are they ! Mr. Buchanan is lor peace, and lie is opposed to tbe reduction of duties, especially those on iron. The President and Mr. Walker are lor turmoil, and fora reduction of duties. If Mr. Buchanan can be disposed of, sent to the Hupreme Bench, he will give no trouble to the Cabinet in its arrangement of the lariff, and he will not bo in the way to force out of the annual message of the President, any thing which may savor of a little hostility to England relative lo Oregon. That is not all. It is hoped lhat soon after the opening of Congress, somo administration member will propose a series of resolutions which shall smack pretty si rung ly|nf a determination on Ihe part of this Government tn insist on its utmost claims in Oregon territory, and to insist on them ill such terms, and with such fervor, as shall (the resolutions having been adopted,) close the negotiation. If any body should say (ihe Union for example) tliai these events will not happen; 1 can only reply nous ter rons with regard to future, but le'est rrai with regard to the past. I have not a doubt that what [ say of the intention of this administration is strictly correct; that Mr. McLano lias written home, as Isay ; that Mr. Buchanan lias been seriously urged to retire lo I In* Bench; that bad feelings relative to Oregon are desired, and ihe means I have stated really purposed. But it may be that something w.ll transpire to prevent such results, but no thanks lo “tho powers that be." A Princely Hebrew.—From PrnRUu tv* hear of the (fault), at llie njje of seventy-seven, of the Hebrew merchant, Muurice Zedukuucr—u mut! whose rille to a record in pngas like ours consists, not in the princely fortune which wan til© work of his own honorable toil, but the nohfa use which lie made of it. Fifty years ago, M. Zutfaknuer camn penniless, to Prugue ; and he litis left behind him seven millions of fl-iritis—£700.000. In his life* time he devoted the larger part of nis immense revenues to the encouragement of science, art and national industry—<nnd to the relief of the indigent, without distinction of religion or race ; and, by his will, he has bequeathed throe millions of flu. Tins—£300.000—among the benevolent insiitti. lions of all the principul cities of Bohemia. He as followed lo the cemetery of his nation by men I* ull ranks and beliofs—the poor, of course—the civil uud military authorities of thecupilul—all its distinguished men—and, it is very pleasant to add, many clergymen of various Christian sects. Ev. ery where the spirit is pussing into dishonor which would once have “spii upon the Jewish gaberdine'* ““ trampled on the grave c-f a man like this.—Athe- naeam. Tbe Councils of Philadelphia assembled on Tuosdny, and elected Col. 8wift Mayor of that city for tbe eir suing year, none of the candidates at the recent elec* tioo having received a majority of elf the votes. A Lr»cofoco correspondent of the Journal of Commerce oilers some very cool advice In tho Whigs. He says that they have the capital, the talent, and enterprise of the country, and they con trol the public taste in morula, and in literature uud in science; and they preside over the institu lions of education and benevolence; and all this, he thinks, should content them without dabbling iu politics. Tbe government of tbo country and tbe administration of tbo laws, he thinks, should beta, ken from those men who, accordiug to bis own ac. count are the best qualified for public employment, and should be abandoned by general consent to those who are least fit for it.—Prov. Journal. Great Arlesian Well.—A practical and scien tific gentleman offerii, for $30,000, to sink un Ar. tesian Well in Boston at the depth of 1700 feet, hy which it is estimated that moro thun a million of gallons of the very best water cun be thrown into the city every day. and to u height of ut least one hundred feet above the surface of the earth.— Ao eftui t is about lo bo made to ruise the money by subscription. Perpetual Mo ion.—Tbe editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, lias inspected a machine on exhibition at the Mansion House in that city, which be thinks is the true perpetual motion, if there he »uch a thing in mechanical philosophy. ‘If it is not a perpetual motion,* says the editor, ‘then our knowledge of mechanics and the power of grQvitution, are sadly at fuull.’ DIED, In Marietta, on tho 12th inst.
