Terrible Conflagration in New York.
Over one hundred buildings burneu.-$lO,-

hie - Tremendous cxplos on.— Ihe greatest,
rhe m ist terrible fire that has occurred in this
cir since tire great conflagration ot December,
183.5 is now spreading devastation throughout
the lower pan ot the city. Over one hundred
bu'l accor-'inglo the b st calcubitu>u,urc note
on fir -, or 4«c been l:vtilea to the g.<mnd Most
ot mem were large three, tour and five start
houses, and occupied principally by importing
and other merchants. It is a close estimate to
set the loss, thus far, at ten miUions of dollars.
This read ul lire brolte out at half past three
o’clock, this morning, in New-st., about three
doors from the cornel of Exchange Place, in a
spe m oil store It then spread to a chair laeto
ry,thenex' door towards Exchange Place; then
through to Broad st and to the coiner of Ex
change Place, whereitcotnmutiicatedtoabuild
ing occupied by some person who either had a
la.ge q lamity ot saltpetre on storage, or e se
were uiunutac urersot fire works, tor in filteeii
minutes alter it caught fire the whole blew up
with a tremendous explosion, carrying six oi
seven buildin s with it, and shaking tne whole
city like an earthquake. The concussion was
so great as to smash more than halt a million
ot (lanes of glas- in the neigtiborlmod. imme
diately after the explosion, fire was isco.ered
at I >ur different points showing that the entire
block in the rear was in acomi lete blaze.
Alter this the fire spread dow n on both side
of Broad-street, thence through io Broadway,
taking both sides of New street, including the
Waverly House, which is destroyed; then
down Broadway towards the Bowling Green.
O i the other side it is extending to vv all street,
and it was expected to reach the magnificen
M-rch .nt's Exchange before it could Ire slop
ped. Both sides ot Exchange Place between
Broad and Witham streets, and halt wav down
to William, are on fire. The fire in Broad st.
extends to Beaver, through the latter to New
street, both sloes ot which are in ruins.
We learn that Francis Hart, of Engine Co.
No 22, standing on the root ot the sloie next to
the corner ot Broad-street and Exchang- Place,
when the explosion occurred, was thrown over
rhe building lo tire opposite side ot the street,
from the very roofon which he had b-en stand
ing, snd escaped on his f< et, scarcely injured.
Previous to the aboveexplosion, the foreman of
N 22, foreseeing tae perilous condition ot the
men, surrounded by fire so that no human
frame could withstand the heat, and with dan
ger from which escape appeared impossible,
ordered them to retire, and before they had time
to move their engine the walls tell. They left
just in time to e-cape with their lives. As far
as can beat this moment known no other mem
ber ot that company was seriously injured.
The engine was buried under the wall. This
is one of the most narrow escapes weever heard
of.
ft is supposed that many lives have been lost
by this terrib e explosion. As the streets ar d
houses, nearby, were filled with firemen and
citizens, it is painfully expected that many have
been sacrificed tothe wickednessot storing large
quantities of saltpetre, or some other explosive
matter, in buik.ings in the heart of the city,
We /timer a recapitulation of the fire:
New st, both sides, from Exchange Place, to Beaver-st.
Bro id st « “ near WsU to Beaver-st.
Exchange Place, both sides, from near William to
Broadway.
Beaver-st both sides, from Broad-el to Broadway.
The destruction of other propertj' than build
ings, has been enormous. The stores burnt be
ing principally occupied by merchams. their
contents were ot great value. Ihe flames
spread with such rapidity and the panic created
among all classes by the explosion was so great
that very little property was saved. And in on
ly a few cases were even the books rescued
from the hurninghuildings.
A'l is contusion in the lower part of the city.
Merchants who were ricn yesterday are poorto
day. Even those insured are probably poor,
because the aggregate loss is so great that we
can hardly expect that all the insurance effects*
will be paid. We can hope tor the best, and
that is all.
Latest Particulars.
Seven o’clock.
We havejus' returned troni a second visit to
the fire, ft has extended to the lower side ot
Beaver-street and into Stone-street. It is now
found that the whole range in the latter street,
from Whiteli II to Broad-street, will be de
stroyed. and perhaps the whole wooden block at
the toot ol Broad-street to the East River. Al
the buildings from the Public Stores to South
William street are burnt. It is expected that
the public stores will be saved. They are con
sidered fire-pto f.
The first explosion broke windows five block"
distant.
In addition to the destruction of E >gine No
22 >e regret to learn that No 42 i» crushed be
neath the ruins -.1 a building in Exchange Place,
If "he is there we have reason to believe st-ve
ral ot h-r members are killed They were with
the -ngine, and we cannot see how they cool,
all escape. We sincerely trust, however, that
all are sate.
It is now estimated that nearly two hundred
buildings are destroyed.
From the New York Express we clip the fol
lowing additional items.
Half fast five o'clock.
The great cause t me extent of the tire was
the explosion of 5000 bags of saltpetre, in the
Wore of Messrs Crocker & Warren, in the rear
of the carpenter’s shoo.
Half pat six o’ lock.
The fire has been nearly checked in its pro
gress, south on Broadway.
The chance of saving the Adelphia Hotel is
very small, and the Globe H ’tel is also in
danger trom the rear buildings. The whole
strength ol the New Y rk and Brooklyn Fin
De arunents are out, and the worst we hope i
over. There is, however, a stiff breeze blow
ing. and there is no telling lhe extent the da
mage will attain. The goods from the stores,
in lhe rear ot Wall street, are removed, as
well as those from Messrs. Grant & Barrons,
on Exchange Place, down to Delmonieo
Hotel.
Halt-past 7 o’clock.
The Adelphia Hotel is on fire, and two other
buildings on Broadway.
The tire has also crossed Beaver-street, and
is spreading to Whitehall.
Preparations are making to blow up some ol
the buildings in hope to stop the flames from
reaching the locality of the old fire towards
South-si.
The deaths by the explosion of Saltpetre are
named at 30. bit this is probably exaggerated.
■One whole family is said to have perished.

consisting of 22 wagons, had entirely missed
iheir way, and got near the mouth of the Yel

Q’The East Alabamian, published al La
Fayette,Chambers couny,of the 19th instsays;
The Health ot the Town, we are sorry to say,
is not as good as usual. The long prevailing
dry and hot weather, succeeded by frequent light
showers, and comparatively cold nights and
mornings, has had the effect of making billions
fever rife in our midst. In one family we learn,
eleven are down at once, and in other parts of
'he place, while one or two are recovering,
some continue to betaken. We believe that in
the immediate vicinity no case has yet proved
fatal, though the result of one or two is consider
ed doubtful, at least. The state of the weather
and these facts call lor especial care and pru
dence,on the part of our people; and the afflic
tion of friends call loudly upon the sympathy of
all.
More Munificent Bkq.i'e:sts.—We learn
that, in addition to the sum of 340,000 be
queathed to the McLean Asylum, and SIO,OOO
to the Mass. General Hospital, the Hon. Daniel
Waldo, late of Worcester, Mass., devised $40,-
000 to the American Board of Fpreign Missions,
and $lO 000 to the Colonization cause; and that
the whole amount of his charitable bequests is
abont $300,000.
Windows Cleaned by Steam.—A very sim
ple method ol cleaning windows is now coming
into general use in England. The window is
first dusted with a bunch of feathers, or dusting
brush, and when the dust is thoroughly removed,
place a bowl of boiling hot water at the base of
'he window; the steam immediately covers the
glass, which is removed by a wash leather, and
finished off with another, quite clean and dry.
The method saves time, prevents that cloudy
appearance left by whiling, and produces a
more brilliant and durable polish than any other.
Churches in New York.—We see it stated
in Doggett’s Ci y Directory, that there are 166
churches and places ol public worship in that
city, of which 36 are Protestant Episcopal, 30
Presbyterian 24 Methodist E 'iscopal, 22 Bap
tist, 16 Roman Catholic, 15 Dutch Reformed, 8
Jewish, 8 African, 5 Congregational 5 Associ
ciate Reformed Presbyterian, 4 Universalist, 4
French, 3 Lutheran, 3 Reformed Presbyterian,
2 Unitarian, 2 Welsh, 1 Methodist Protes'ant,
18 miscellaneous. Connected with the various
congregations are 36 tnora l and religious socie

Fire in New York.
The failure ot the mail 1 ist evening prevents
»ur furnishing lull particulars of lhe dreadful
ran flagratipn tn N York. We have, however,
gleaned some items from the Charleston Courier,
which subjoin, and which are an hour and
a half later than the accounts ptiolished by us
vesterdaj’, at which lime the fire was still ra
ging:
o’clock, A. M.
We have this moment re'urned from the
scene of the cot fl gration, with eye, heart and
brain oppressed with toe sublime and appalling
spectacle. The whole area between Bioad-st.,
Exchange Place, Be ver-st.and Broadway, and
up Broadway to the Waverly House, is one
vast amphitheatre of hlood-red slime sweeping
tike a httiiicane on fire, tailing walls, smoke
and cinders flying litre gigantic meteotr. all ways
at once Thr dimes have a|>pto»ched within
two doors oi the Pul lie Store, No. 12 Broad-st..
containing an immense amount ot valuable
goods ot all sorts, and it will hardly be saved
I'he fire, it is believed, will not stop short ot
William-street and the Exchange; and ihe fierce
wind, which has hern raised by ihe terrific force
it the fl mes, is driving the cot flagration lu
riouslv lowa d the South and East. There is
no calculating where it may be stopped, this
sideot the water.
On Broadwav the roof and walls of the
Waverly House have just fal'en in,and the eager
flnnesare licking about the doors and windows
f the adjoining buildings, anti darting their
fiery tor gues towar t the Globe Hi tel. Below,
the tall and costly buildings down to the Boston
and Providence Depot are a I in a mass ol ft one,
and look like an immense glass-furnace—while
-ver and anon thunders a tottering wall, send
ing up a column ol flame and burning dust,
which spreads like a pall oi fire over the sky
n I showers a hail-storm ol living coals and
flaming brand- over the crowd which" horribly
brong and sufl-cate the streets in every direc
tion lor a mile around.
The De.ioi is now on fire, and a tremendous
rush lakes place among the tramplingcrowd,as
a minor spreads that lhe building contains a
large quantity ot spirits The wind increases
t* strength and fury, and now, after blowing in
a whirlwind about ihe hottest flame, sets in a
steady current to the southeast. The Adelphia
-one of the loftiest and most extensive build
ings in this part of the city—mas' almost inevi
tably go Indeed, there i» little doubt that the
whole ot Broadway lying between Excnauge,
Newand B-aver-streets and the Bowling Green,
vill certainly be destroyed. This block is al
most exactly in the shape of a mo ar tooth, with
the prong lying upward and the iace fronting on
the Bowling Green
The entire block between Broad and New-sts.,
from Exchange to Beaver, is a heap of smok
ing and blaz'ng ruins. Not a building is left
standing. On the southeast corner of Broad
and Beaver, which torrns ihe point ot a large
triangular block ol heavy mercantile houses—
one ot the most valuable, perhaps, tn the city—
the flames are raging with unparalleled fury,
and we do not see how a single brick is to be
saved.
The firemen are making, as always in cases
of great emergency like this, almost superhuman
exertions, but what can they do against this
fearhtl enemy, which attacksthem on every side
at once, and seems possessed with a spirit of
human revenge as it leaps shouting .and roaring
from roof to root. Already we tear two of their
precious machines (22 and 3) are destroyed—
-22 certainly. Three firemen are believed to
have lost their lives, and they are standing at
this moment on all the roots, exposed to the
most fearful danger.
At the time the first explosion took place, a
fireman belonging to Engine Co. 22, standing
on the root of a bouse next to the explosion,
was blown, as we are assured by the Foreman
of the Company, two whole squares before
touching the ground. He escaped with a sprain
ed ancle.
The scene in Broadway nearthefire, in Wall
street, South William, Exchange Place, Rector,
Morris and Thames stre-ts, quite defies all at
t nipM at description. Drays, carts and « heel
barrows, hastily load-d with the most incongru
ous cargoes, are pushing through lhe dense
crowd in every direction, attended by ihe sweat
ing. blackened and exciting driver-. Irish wo
men, with a bed in one hand and two or three
naked childrenin the o her, run to deposit them
on the walk, or wherever there may be a look
tor safety.
Rhe sidewalkin front ot Old Trinity is fil ed
h ghsr than your uead with a bulwark of beds,
bureaus, chests, tables, k-ttles, clocks, sauce
pans, portraits, vases, gridirons, easy chairs,
meal-bags, couWberpans, potatoes, and every
thing else that was ever seen or heard of.
Tne Bowling Green is full ol similar mate
rials, while forty or fifty poor families are try
ing to dress themselves, washing their taces in
the Fountain and hushing the cries ot their
children .
The Elks from O'egon look frightened into
tameness, and cower amid tee flakes ot fire that
tall on every side.
in the Batterv there are acres upon acres of
household goods scattered upon the grass -each
little pile attended by lhe out-driven family—
ll-re is a pine cradle, roughly rocking a pale,
sq'nlli!-l< oking infant -there a grou xifsmutci ■
e.i faces refresh themselves from a broken whis
key boule Siu-h a scene has never been dream
ed or imagined.
The glare oi the conflagration lies tlilck and
ruddv upon the Bay. and the red light of lil e
ti ’w-risen sun mingles eluxtily with ihe redder
and brighter nueof theft unes. The whole city
seems pouring into this fiery and hissing funnel,
in a steady stream.
Several of the awnings in rear of the elegant
row of buildings fronting the Bowling Green
were on fire at one time—ignited by a vagrant
ember—but they were speedily extinguished
without other damage.
WORSE AND WORSE!

A man was carried off by two firemen belong
ing to No. 15, who had become deranged from
his sister being burnt to death, and the loss of
all his property. We Died every way to gel
n mes and more particulars ot this shocking
catastrophe, but were totally unable.
The following is copied from the slip from
the office of the Sun •
“Some of the fire engines near the scene
were shivered to atoms. The three explosions
were accompanied bv shocks resembling those
of an earthquake, and so powerful as to shatter
windows within a circuit ol one mile. The
doors of the American Exchange Bank in Wall
sireet were burst open with a loud ciash The
Citv Bank doors also burst, as well as lhe doors
of warehouses and buildings in the vicjpitv.
Massive iron doors and « indow shutters were
beni ar.d twisted in eveiydirection.
" The stree'sor buildings every where in the
vicinity bear marks of lhe explosion
“ The wounded firemen were taken into the
hotels in the vicinity and every attention paid
to them.”
We are indebted, says the Charleston Cou
rier, toa Iriend for the following postscript to
a letter, (covering a Tribune extra) of the
latest hour possible, by which it will be seen
that the fire had extendi d considerably beyond
the limits described in either of the other ac.
counts, and that It was still raging in unre
strained fury.
“ To the Editors of the Courier:
“New York July 19 9 o’clock, A. M.
“The fire has extended to Delmonico's, cor
ner of Beaver and »ou h William, and there
seems very little prospect of stopping it. 200
ol the most valuable stores in the city are al
ready destroyed. The fire threatens to cro s
Broadway, and has already reached within three
doors ot Wall.”
From lhe Southern Recorder.
The s-cho lmaster.
There has been some effort to mystify the
expose ol the financial policy ot the present ad
ministration, as set forth in the luminous
article of our correspondent, the old School
master. Gentleman, it will not do. The day
of mystification in relation tothe Stale finances,
has past. The people who pay the bill, are
not exactly in a condition to throw away their
money without knowing lor what; nor is it
just a period ot such superfluous at d overflow
ing prosperity, that extravagance and economy
are deemed by the people synonymous terms.
The people cannot be mystified—lhe people
will not be mystified, on a subject so important
to them. The ease is t< o plain tor even the
most acute to hope to obscure it. Come upto
the real matter in issue, gentlemen, meet it fair
ly, and go before the people fairly and candid
ly, and if they favor your views, we are con
tent.
There can be no mistake in this fact. Before
Governor Crawford and the Whigs look hold of
the fiscal affairs of Georgia, Central Bank bills
in the hands of the people, to the amount of
some seven hundred thousand dollars, were
greatly depreciated, and that in the short period
of some six weeks, arrangements were perfect
ed which brought them up lo par. You cannot
deny this, gentlemen, and the people will hold
this, whatever you may say about it, to be a
strong fad, what Mr. Tyler might call a “ fixed
fact ”
The article to which we again refer, taking
the recoids oi the various departments, and
challenging disproof by those records free to all,
shows that in every department of our govern
ment there has been a striking reform; that
exiravagance has given place to economy, and
a mosi frugal hastaken lhe place of a most pro
luse expenditure ol the people’s money. This
will be considered by lhe people ul Georgia
another very strong fact, no matter what mystifi
cations may be sought to he thrown over it. Ii
is a plain case, in which argument is «oisc
than ti-eless, because only calculated to obscure.
Theie is but one ansa er to it. Deny it, gentle
men, tfyou can, or it you dare; but innoiug so,
go to the records of the country, and baek your
deni 1 wtth proof rom them; they alone are
the competent witnesses in tne case. Ifyou
cannot disprove the tact f rom these, depend upon
it, neither tour mere assertions not your plausi
ble sophistries will be allowed by Hie people ol
Georgia, to the weight ot a sinele leather, in
ihe formation of their opinion ofthe compara
tive merits of Mr. Crawlord’s administration,
with others. Go to lhe n cords, gentlemen, and
like the old Schoolmaster, bring forward the
only proofs in the case before us, and il you
can, disprove lhe facts we present to the people
and to rhe country.
It is a plain tact, it the records are to be be
lieved, that Gov. Crawford bas saved tor the
people at the annual rale of near seventy thou
sand dollars per annum, compared with the
a* ministration of Governor M< D maid Now,
genih-men, the people don't warn speeches nm
long arguments on the point; they want lo know
onty this: Is it a fact, that Gov. Crawlord has
ma e this yeatly savingto the State? A plain
question, aud one only to be answered by t<f r
ence to the prop's—the public records of the
country. The old Schoolmaster has taken
these, he has taken his data trom them, and has
only cyphered out lhe - unis total. Gentlemen,
the people don’t want talk, talk—when theit
pockets are so deeply concerned, they merely
de ire to known the tacts, as ihe records alone
can ascei tain them. Schoolmaster lias given
his facts from the records; deny them or admit
them, and that is all that has to be done.
The people, in the mean time, willd< em, we
doubt not, the saving to their pockets ot n»at
seventy thousand dollars a year, as stbong a
fact, as it is a ■' fixed fact."
Again, ottr opponents seek, in a very especial
manner, to mystify another important foci pre
sented to the people from the records, viz: that
the Penitentiary, instead of being a serious
drain on the pockets ot the people has been
made, under the administration of Governor
Crawford, a source ot profit to them. A very
important and interesting 'act, we have reason
to believe, in the eyes ot the tax payers ol Geor
gia.
And S’’ch mystification as’it is I Take a spe
cimen:—Because the convicts in some instan
ces work for the State, forsooth, the insntu
tion islo make no charge; or it it charges the
State what it does the people; and what the
State would have had to pay otherwise out ot
the Treasury, why then, forsooth, the Peniten
tiary saving is not the thing il is cracked up to
be, say our opponents. You must make money,
and give to the State whatever it may have to
do besides. As it, 100, all other administra
tions of the Penitentiary had not chatged the
State for all work done or materials furnished
But the people go to the records for their
tacts, not to the sophistry ot those opposed to
Governor prawford; and finding them as re
ported, and seeing these opponents challenged
in vain lo the disproof, the people oi Georgia
will consider the gain rather than the former
loss by this public institution—another fixed
and very strong fact, which they will remember
when called on to displace those who have ef
fected it.
And how has this sound and vigorous policy
told upon the credit of the State? Let us look
at this important fact.
What was the rate of Georgia credit? at what
was it estimated at home and abroad? and
what was its value? Important questions as
affecting the prosperity ot every man, woman
and child within the wide borders ot our good
old State.
Who does not know, that Georgia’s credit
was estimated and sold, during Governor Mc-
Donald's administration, at 50 cents in the
dollar? Who does not know, that now, and
verv shortly after Gov. Crawlord took the reins
ot Government, Georgia’s credit rose up to par
value, and that it is now above par? Who is
afraid now to take and to keep a Central Bank
Bill?
Who fears contracting with the State, be
cause of rne dread oi being paid in depreciated
money ?
These are facts which find iheir proofs in the
whole body of our people, whose pockets are
as good testimony in these cases, as the re
cords are the best in the cases first alluded to.
These are the kind of facts, which, direct y
bearing on the prosperity ol the people and im
mediately affecting their interests, they will
chi-fly lo< k to in the choice they are sho tly to
makeota Chief Mag's rare tor the next two
years. The question is a simple one, whether
thev choose that things shall go on for the next
two years with like prosperous eflecl, as they
have tor the period ot Governor Crawford's
administration, or wherherthev will risk having
a return to what experience has given them a
taste ot in rhe period preceding his administra
tion by choosing another in his place.
Here we rest lhe question with the people ot
Georgia It is the real—the only question for
their decision ; and our opponents may make
what efforts they please to drive or decoy us
from thi* position, ih°v shall not move us one
inch. Prove that the State will he be.ter gov
erned lor the peonle in every way than it ha*
been bvGov. Crawford, and we might listen to
the proofs. Blfrlo give up a signal gm d for a
doubtful one at bes', if not the verv reverse, is

Right of Search.
The treaty between England and France t
provide for the suppression ot the Slave Trade
recently signed by Dr Lusbington and the Du
de Broglie, contains ten specific articles. Tin
first stipulates for the employment, on the West
erti Coast ot Africa, between Cape leVerdsant
sixteen and a halt degrees ol latitude, by each o
the cinrtactiiig parties, oia naval tbrcc to bi
composed ot at least twenty-six cruisers, inclu
d.ng sailing and steam vessels. The object o
the maim, nance ol these souadrons is stated h
he “in order that the ting of his Majesty thi
King of lhe French, aud of her Majesty thi
dueen ol Great Britain, may not be usurped con
trary io the. right of nations, and to the laws of thi
two countries, tocov r the slave trade, and inordei
to pr vide more efficaciously for lhe suppression Oi
lhe traffic ”
The next most important feature of the treaty
is set forth in lhe fourth an filth articles, which
provide that treaties for lhe suppression ol the
slave trade shall be negotiated with all the na
tive princes and chiets on the eoast. Where
these treaties ate concluded with lhe two go
vernments jointly, they are to support the ex
p nses tor the requisite presents jointly —These
treaties are to have no other object than the
supression ol the slave trade.
Il this portion of the treaty is carried out effi
ctently ills probable that more will be done to
wards the suppression ot the slave trade than
has yet been accomplished since that object be
gfjr to be aimed at.
off We may here suggest that inasmuch as the
treat, which our Government made with Great
Britain doesnot include any stipulation of the
kind here ref-rred to, and a- we -are therefore,
net bound to any joint action on this sut ject, it
might be well lor our Government, of its owi
accord and on its own account, ti negotiate
with lhe native chiefs on the African Coast tin
th” suppression ot the slave trade. Al hougl
ii is said ihat the treaties which England and
France are to form on that Coast are to have
no other object than the suppression ol the slave
trade, yet it n ust follow that commercial ad
vantages will be secured by such treaties. Ai
any rate the influence of the European powers,
thus negotiating, cannot but be increased there
by. Indeed one mode ol inducing lhe native
chiefs to give up the traffic in slaves will lie to
propose some leg-timate traae as a substitute.
The eighth article ol the Convention reads
thus:
“Seeing that experience has proved that the
slave trade in those parts where it is habitually
exercised is often accompanied by deeds of a
dangerous nature for the tranquillity ot the seas
and the safety ol the flag:
And considering at the same time that if the
fl .g home by a ship is prima fade the sign ot
nationality of the ship, this presumption will
not be regarded as sufficient to prevent in all
cases proceeding lo its verification, otherwise
it would expose all fl gs to dishonoring abuses
tn making them serve to cover piracy, lhe slave
trade, and all other illicit traffic.
In order to prevent all difficulty in the execu
tion of the present convention, i' is understood
that instructions, founded upon the law of na
tions and upon the constant practice ot maritime
powers, shall be addressed to the commanders
of squadrons and cruisers upon lhe coast of
Africa. The two Governments have, in conse
quence, communica.ed to each other the text ot
the said instructions which are annexed to the
present convention. ”
The ins ructions here referred to were pub
lished in the London Times ot June 10th. The
following extract relates to the point of most
interest to the United States, as it is supposed
by some that the directions here given to the
commander ol the British Squadron on the coast
ol Africa are in conflict with the position which
our Government has assumed on the right of
search question:
You are not to capture, visit, or in any way
interfere with vessels of France; and you will
give strict instructions to the commanding offi
cers of cruisers under your orders to abstain
therefrom. At the same time you will remem
ber t‘ at the King of the French is lar from
claiming that the flag ofFrance should give im
munity to those who have no right to bear it;
and that Great Britain will not allow vessels ol
other nations to escape visit and examination by
merely hoisting a French flag, or the flag of nay
other nation with which Great Britain has not,
by existing treaty, the right of search. Accor
dingly, when from intelligence which the offi
cer commanding Her Majesty’s cruisers may
have received, or from the manreuvres of the
vessel, or other sufficient cause, he may have
reason to believe that the vessel does not belong
to the notion indicated by her colors, he is, if the
s'ate ot the weather will admit ot it, to go ahead
ol the suspected vessel, alter communicating
his intention by hailing, and drop a boat on
hoard ot her to ascertain her nationality, without
catisingherdeiiniion tn the event ol her really
provingto bea vessr I ot lhe nation lhe colorsuf
which she hasdisplayed, and tbereloteoue which
he is not authorised losea:ch; out should lhe
strength ol the wind, or other circumstance, ren
der sueh mode of vi- iting t he stranger impractica
ble, he i-torey«srelA suspected vessel lo be brought
'o,inorder th. ihr-rnaiwnaliiy may be asoeri anted /
and he will be f'stifled in t nfm any it if necessai y -
imdeisiaudine, alwa,S, that lie is tio. ro resort
to any coercive measure u til eveiy other shall
.'.ave tailed; and the officer who boards lhe
stranger is lo be instructed merely in the fiist
instance 'o satisfy himself by the vessel’s pa
pers, or other proof ol her nationality; and ii
she prove really to be a vessel oi the nation
designated by her colors, and one which he is
not authorised to search, he is to lose no time in
quitting t er, offering to note on lhe papers of the
vessel the cau-e ot his having suspected her na
tionality, as well as the number of minutes the
vessel was detained (il detained at all) lor ihe
object in question ; such notation to be signed
by the boarding < ffi er, specifying his rank and
the nam H ot Her Majesty’s cruiser; and whethet
the commander ot the visited vessel eonsents to
such notation on lhe vessel’s papers or not (and
it is not to be done without bis consent) ah the
said t ariiculars are to be immediately inserted
in the log book of Her Majesty’s cruiser; and
a full and complete statement ot the circum
stances is to be sent, addressed to the Secretary
of the Admiralty, by the fiist opportunity direct
to England; and also, a similar statement to
vou, as senior oftcer on the station, to be tor
warded by you to our Secretary, accompanied
by any remark you may have reason to make
thereon.
Tie commanding officers of ”er Majesty’s
vessels must bear tn mmd that the duty ot exe
curing the instruction immediately preceding
must be discharged with great care and circum
spection. Fur if anyiifury be occasioned by ex
amination without svffi.icnt cause, or by lhe
examination being improperly conducted, com
pensation must be made to the party aggrieved;
and the officer who may cause an examination
to be made without sufficient cause, or who may
conduct it improperly, will incur the displeasure
of Her Maj-sty’sG 'Vernment.
Ot course in cases where the suspicion of lhe
commander turns out to be well founded, and
the vessel boarded proves, notwithstanding het
colors, not to belong to the nation designated by
those colors, the commander of Her lajesty’s
cruiser will deal with her as he would have been
authorised and required to do had she not hoist
ed a false flag.
It is understood by the Government which
gave these direcrions that the visitation ot
search of a vessel bearing the American flag is
to be made at tha risk and peril of the visiting
cruiser under the liability of an indemnity to
the vessel which shall be unjustly suspected,
then every case of such visitation as it occurs
will be a justed on its own merits. Neverthe
less it cannot be denied that manj' irritating dif
ficulties will be likely to arise under these direc
tions. which can be freed from embarrassment
only by the prompt acknowledgment ot the Bri
tish Government ot every case ot injury that
may happen, and by immediate compensation
for the same.
The matter will be simply this : Ii a vessel
bearing lhe American flag is arrested and
provesnnt an American, the thing will not con
cern us at all. But il the vessel so arrested
should i eally be an American, the fact of her
arrest will be an injury tone atoned for at once
With this understanding it must be apparent
that any exercise of the right of visitation, as
here claimed, must be accompanied with great
discretion or it will give rise to troubles at the
outset. The instructions ofthe French Govern
ment are similar in substance to those ofthe
British Admiralty.

The following, from the Boston Courier, is
one of the cleverest essays we have met lor
many a day'. Similar in style, it is not interior
in point to Franklin's best:
When I was a boy, it was my fortune lo
breathe, for a long time, what some writer calls
the “bracingair of poverty.” My mother
light lie lhe turf upon the form which once en
closed her strong and gentle spirit—was what
is called an ambitious woman, lor that quality
which overturns thrones ana supplantsdynasties,
finds a legitimate sphere in the humblest abode
that the shadow of poverty ever darkened. The
snuggle between the wish to keep up appear
ances, and the pinching gripe of necessity, pro
duced endless shifts and contrivances at which,
were they told, some would smile, and some, to
whom they would recall their own experiences,
would sigh. But let me not disturb the veil of
oblivion, which shrouds from prolane eyes the
hallowed misteries ul poverty.
On one occasion it was necessary to send me
upon an errand to a neighbor in better circum
siancesthan ourselves, and before whom it was
necessary that I should bgnresemed in lhe best
possible aspect. Great pains were accordingly
taken to give a sutait appearance to my patched
and dilapidated wardrobe, and to conceal lhe
rents and chasms which the envious teeth of
lime had made iu them; an I by the way of
throwing over iny equipment a certain savor
and sprinkling ot gentility, my red and toil
hardened hands were enclosed in the unfamiliar
casing <4 a pair of gloves, which had belonged
to my mother in days when her years were
lewerand her heart lighter.
I sallied forth on my err-nd, and on my way
encountered a much otuer and bigger bey, who
evidently belonged to a family which had all
rnrown dragging poverty, and none of our up
rising wealth of spirit. His rags fluttered in
the breeze; bis hat was constructed on the most
approved plan ol ventilation; and hisshoes,
from their venerable antiquity might have been
deemed a pair of fossil shoes—the very ones
which Shein shuffled into the ark. He was an
impudent varlet, with a dare-devil swaggei in
iis gait, and a sort ot ‘l’m as good as you’leer
in his eye—lhe very whelp to throw stones at a
veil dressed horseman, because he was well
iressed; to tear a bby ’s rutile because it was
clean As soon os Jfsaw me his -eyes detected
the practical- incSsSs-cnciea which charac
terized my costumif, and taking me by the
shoulders, turning me round with no gentle
hand, and surveying me from head to fool,
exclaimed with a scornful laugh of derision,
‘ A patch on both knees and gloves on!"
Istil! recall thestingof wounded feeling which
shot through me at these words. To parody the
celebrated line ot the immortal Tuscan—
“ That <lsy, I wore ray glove* no more.”
But the lesson, thus rudely enforced, sunk
deep into my mind. In after life, I have had
frequent occasion to make a practical appplica
tion ot the words of my ragged friend when I
have observed lhe practical inconsistencies
which so often mark the conduct of mankind.”
When, for instance, 1 see parents, carefully
providing for lhe ornamental education of their
children; furnishing them with teachers in mu
sic, dancing and arawing, but giving no thought
to that moral and religious training, from which
true dignity and permanent happiness of lile
alone can come, never teaching them habits ot
self-sacrifice and self-discipline and control,
rather by their example instructing them in evil
speaking, in uncharitableness, in envy and in
falsehood, I think, with a sigh, of the patch on
both knees and gloves on.
hen I see a family in cold and selfish soli
tude, not habitually warming their houses with
the gleam of happy faces, but lavishing that
which should furnish the hospitality of a whole
year upon the profusion of a single night, I
think of lhe patch on both knees and gloves on.
When I see a house profusely furnished with
sumptuous lurniture, rich curtains, and luxu
rious carpets, with no books, or none but a few
dawdry annuals, lam reminded of lhe patch on
both knees and gloves on.
When 1 see the public men cultivating ex
clusively those qualities which win away to
office, and neglecting those which will qualify
them to fill honorably lhe posts which they as
pire to, I recall the patch on both knees and gloves
on.
When I see men sacrificing peace of mind
and health of body to the insane pursuit of
wealth—living in ignorance of the character ol
’be children who are growing up around them,
cutting themselves off trom the highest pleasures
ol their nature, and so perverting theirhumani
tv, that that which was sought as a means in
sensibly comes to be followed as an end, I say
to myself, a patch on both kne s ami gloves on
When [ see thousands «quandered tor selfish
ness and ostentation, and nothing bestowed ir
charity, when I see young ladies decked in
satins and jewels, cheapening the toils of dress
makers, and wiih har-h words embit'ering the
bitter bread of dependence, when I see pool
tbrned away trom proud houses, when the
crumbs ofthe tat le would be to them a feast, 1
think ol lhe patch on both knees and gloves on.

DIED
In Wrightsboro, on the 15th inst., Mrs. Con
stantia Louisa Gibson, consort of Mr. John D.
Gibs >n, in the 3.st year of her age, after a pain
ful and protracted illness of thirty days, which
she bore with Christian fortitude, leaving a com
panion and two interesting children, with a large
circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss,
in her melancholy removal from this transitory
word, ties of no ordinary strength and tender
ness hive been painfully rent asunder. In this
dispensation of Divine Providence, a wide breach
has been made in the endeared relations of the
family circle, and deeply afflictive to him who
stood in relation of parent and benefactor.
It was her misfortune to lose both her parents
when only a few weeks old; she was taken by
her grand mother, Mrs. Mary Ann White, who
lived to see her of age sufficient to receive mnch
pious training and uhris'ian example before she
was called to die. This sad privation was reliev
ed by her being taken under the charge of her
uncle, Mr. Thom sH. White, whose solicitude
for her was the most tender kindness and earnest
effort to make her haopy. She lived to become
a wife and mother, which station she filled wi.h
the strongest affection and utmost tenderness.
Her whole li’e affords a commendable example of
industry, affection and kindness. Long will sur
viving relatives and friends cherish her memory
and mourn her irreversable loss, and with him
who had so inuch care and solicitude for her we
truly sympathise in this bereavement. M.

WARRENTON MALE AND FEMALE
SCHOOLS.
REPORT OF EXAMINING COMMITTEE.
We the undersigned, having been appointed
an examining committee, to examine the pupils
ofthe school, recently held on the 16lh and 17th
inst., in the Methodist Church, Warrenton,Geor
gia—beg leave ta submit the following as the
result ot our investigation and reflection.
The Male examination commenced on the
morning of lhe f6th inst., the Female on morn
ing ol the 17ih both being quite respectably at
tended, as evinced oy the presence and interest
which the parents and guardians took in the ex
ercises ot the day The school is now under
the superintendence of Mr. Hugh E. Morrow,
and Lady, as principals, Mr. M. D. L. Heath.
and i_ady, as assistants. Mr. Morrow is a gra
duate of the State University ol Georgia, a gen
tlernan of high literary attainments, very re
fined moral culture, in fact, be is the scholar,
the Christian, the gentleman, and the student’s
Iriend. Mrs. Morrow i~ a lady ol equal bril
liant attainments, having been educated at the
North ; she brings to bear all her talents, taste,
and time, upon the various departments over
which she presides; being tnostlj’ engaged the
present term in giving lessons in music, she
has not devo'ed a great deal of her time tot e
literary department.
Mr. and Mrs. Heeth, a gentleman and lady
ol very excellent attainments, have devoted their
time principally to the literary departments,
with ah industry, diligence and ability, quite
creditable to themselves and to the welfare ol
the school. The school numbers something
like 75 scholars, in the literary department, and
12 scholars in the music department.
Bom schools, in tact, we feel proud to say are
prospering finely, and in process of lime we
have no doubt will add a lew more bright lite
rary jewels to the diadem of our country’s great
ness. It is not our object in this communica
tion to attempt lo pufl'thisschool; believing that
all such efforts, unless there is merit attached,
must not only prove abortive, but recoil upon
the head of the writer. It is but sheer justice to
state that this school is based upon merit, and
hence must stand the assaults that the malevo*
tent and misanthropic may attempt to cast upon
it. We were much pleased indeed to witness
ihe profound manner, by which the pupils had
been taught, their readiness to explain iheir stu
dies; the clear, and distinct manner ot expres
sion; and the readiness which they demonstra
ted their exercises either on the black-board, or
the selection ot substances present, illustrating
their studies.
In the male department we were highly pleas
ed with the exercises in Geography, English
Grammar, Chemistry, Natural Philosophy,
Geometry and the Classics. Although they did
well, it would be perhans invidious and partial,
and perhaps exaggerating, to say that they sur
passed the exercises of ihe females. In the
evening at 7J o’clock P. M., the exhibition ot
select pieces and original speeches, was quite
interesting indeed; we were highly entertained
by the delivery of 25 select pieces, and 10 origi
nal speeches, which were more than creditable
to ihe larger pupils and young men of the school.
We feel assured (it we are not greatly mis
taken,) that there are some young men in the
school, who will tell out yet usefully upon Geor
gia’s future destiny.
Education in this county is on the rapid and
onward march and may the time speedily roll
on when no “ one shall say be thou educated—
but when all shall be educated from the rivers
to the ends of the earth.”
Early on the second day at the ringing of the
church-bell, the female students repaired quite
orderly to church (not decorated like victims
forthe sacrifice,) but neatly clad, and answered
their questions well, which gladdened the hearts
ol their parents, guardians and friends. Let the
feeling of delight we enjoyed on that day be esto
perpetua. The morning passed off with the
mere juvenile exercises, evincing at least in min
atnre the bud in comparison to the fully blown
rose. The afternoon exercises resumed, the
exhibition of English Grammar was certainly
very good, explaining every thing in parsing,
to the extreme satisfaction of all. The class in
Natural Philosophy did equally well. But
with the class in Botany, we were particularly
delighted, seeing so many little girls answer so
readily, and when called upon to explain lhe
parts ot the flowers, they did so very readily;
evincing that the demonstrative plan ot leach
ing was practised, and the best. Dr. R. had
the pleasure peisonally of examining the class
in Chemistry and Rhetoric, and was requested to
examine here and there, without reference to any
particular page, and was entirely satisfied that no
-st lessons were given to the pupils. The class
in French was small, but acquitted themselves
quite creditably. But of all the exercises ofthe
day, we wete most pleased with the com; osi
tion of the young ladies. Every female in the
school who could write was ready with an
original composition which reflected much cre
dit upon the teacher, who drew out lhe lateni
i-ower of their youthful mi'ds. All the com
position indeed was quite cr ditable to their
iges, and it would be too inviduus to mention
anyone production in particular. Wecannpt.
however, refrain remarking that it is possible
hat a M s. Hernans, Le Hemz, or Sigourney,
nay yet arise trom this bright collection—theit
parent’s pride, and country’s hope. In the eve
ning at 7) o’clock, P. M., we again collected
at the church to attend the conceit by the young
ladies, assisted in part by the male pupils, who
assisted in singing one original song upon
he cause of Education which was very fine in
deed It went tothe lune ot “ Dan Tucker,” and
although it revived melancholy associations, to
ne portion of the people, yet the faint regrets
were all hushed amid the beautiful sentiments
■4 the song, sung by the choral bandin such
rapturous strains, awaking the slumbers ot the
most cold, heartless and sordid. Tedious as
we have been, yet we cannot pass over a class
of little girls, not more than trom 4 to 6 years
old, who could not read, but were learned a
beautiful song, which they sung to the delight
of the astonished auditory. In fact the various
pieces ol music were very well performed bt
rite young ladies indeed. Nor can we pass
over in silence the highly interesting manner in
which we were entertained by Mrs. Morrow
and Miss Hubbard, the former playing on the
piano, and the latter accompanying the music
with the most delightful and melodious voice.
The exercist s of both male and female schools,
were closed by an address, delivered by George
V. Neal, Esq., in his usual able and masterly
style. Nor do we think weever saw him more
himself than on this occasion; he moved off
firmly and commanded quickly marked and
strict attention. In the first place, atteral'udina
to our present state ot prosperity, and the ef
ions man is making to establish rail roads, man
utactories and agricultural societies, he re
marked that education was most important
He next touched upon the importance of popu
lar and female education in a very forcible and
impressive style. His answer to the old explo
ded idea, that education tends to make men
more corrupt, and lo the destruction of the go
vernment, was chaste, powerful and forcible;
convincing all who heard him, that il education
does not purify, it does not corrupt. He show
ed that the officers ofthe government were men
of intelligence, and consequently the people*
should be generally intelligent. His allusion
as to how long our republic would stand was
beautiful, and the scorn and contempt that the
Kings of Europe, have heaped upon the scheme
of man’sattempt at sell-government, was chaste,
excellent and conclusive ; and lastly in conclu
sion, his remarks to the students were well
timed, indicating some experience of t':e h idden
workings ot human nature. We have not
space to do justice to all the remarks made, but
cannot refrain remarking that they were very
well timed, indicative of much thought and re
flection. The following is a list ofthe original
speeches:
