Correepondenee of the Richmond It'hig
WasHisoToa, March 17.—1 tis the general
opinion that Congress is gradually, but with
certainty, approaching to an adjustment of the
difficulties which have so long embarrassed
legislation, and agitated the country. What
are to be the precise terms of the settlement of
questions so complicated and vexatious, can
not be predicted. But there is no doubt that
the ultra views taken by Mr. Seward on one
side, and Mr. Calhoun on the other, have
brought the moderate and conservative men of
both political parties to a determination to
unite upon a common ground of compromise.
I learn, by a gentlemen from Boston, that
Mr. Webster’s views are highly approved by
all the moderate and sober minded men in the
East, bnt that the conscience party, led by Pal
frey, Summer and C. F. Adams, are rabidly
opposed to it. These furious fanatics are mak
ing an effort to get up a legislative demonstra
tion in opposition to Mr. Webster’s views.
The Legislature is now in session and theie
the battle is to be fought. An opposition wi I
be, of course, made to his re-election, by the
abolitionists and their kindred cliques.
Whatever anxiety has prevailed as to the re
sult of the present difficulties, it may be con
sidered as certainly removed. California will
be admitted as a State, and with her assumed
boundaries. The fugitive slave bill will pass.
No territorial governments will be established;
but necessary legislation will be given New
Mexico and Deseret. The question on the
Texan boundary will either be settled, or an
offer will be made to Texas, which will lead to
a settlement at some early day, and the com
pact made with her as to the admission of new
States, will be respected. There will be no
legislation as to slavery or the slave trade in
this District at present.
This adjustment will probably lead to a re
organization of parties, and there must be,
both in the North and Sou.h, a great demo
cratic Union party, founded on broad and na
tional principles. Those who, like Mr. Se
ward, united with the Whig party for the pur
pose of converting it into an abolition instru
ment, will separate from it, and become allied
to the iacuo'rile<my MT. ¥snßnTenal the late
election.
It is said that the agents of the Cuba revolu
tionists ate issuing scrip, based on the success
of their contemplated enterprise.
The national force of the United States, in
eluding sailing and steam vessels of all sizes
in and out of commission, consists of 75 ves
seis, mounting 2.048 guns. The naval force
of England in commission consists of 61
sailing vessels, mounting 2,048 guns, and 78
steamers of 16, 626 horse power. Reserved
force, 36sailing vessels, ships of the line and
frigates, and 43 steamers. The French navy
consists of 55 sailing vessels in commission
mounting 2 100 guns, and 64 steamers of
12,870 horse power. Reserved force, 25 line of
battle ships and 22 sleamets. The Russian
navy is next to that of France and close upon
it in strength, that of Austria ranks next, and
the navies of Turkey and Denmark follow.
The navy of Spain, once the most formida
ble on the oceau, is now reduced to 55 vessels,
of which but two are ships of the line, the
whole mounting only 721 guns. It will be
seen that the navies of England and France
are almost nearly balanced. England only hav
ing the balance in the larger number of steam
vessels, a fact which proves her readier appre
ciation of a steam navy than any other nation.
Considering the Commercial aud Territorial
position of the United Slates, our steam navy
is totally inadequate to our wants and means.

Lorenzo Sabine, in hie “ American Loyal
ists,” pays the following deserved tribute to
Massachusetts:
“Os the colonies. New York was undeniably
the loyalist's stronghold, and contained more
of them than any other colony in all Amer.ca.
Massachusetts furnished 67,907 whig soldiers
between the yearn 1775 aud 1783, while New
York supplied but 17,781. In adjusting the
war balances after the peace, Massachusetts
had overpaid her share in the sum of $1,248,-
801 of silver money ; but New York was defi
cient in the large amount of $2,074.846 New
Hampshire, though almost a wilderness, fur
nished 12.497 troops for the continental ranks,
or quite three quarters of the number enlisted
in the Empire State.
“ Oue more fact may serve to throw a still
stronger light, to il.uminate more brightly, the
nearly unanimotuly whig principles of the
Old Bay State. Virginia, whose established
quota was the next highest, and within four
thousand of that of Massachusetts, failed to
comply therewith in the number of about 22.-
000 men, while Massachusetts overran over 15-
COO men. Thus Massachusetts, though re- 1
quired by Congress to furnish only 4 ,000 more
men. raised over 37,000 more !”
Newspapers in London—Enornuns Govern
ment Taxes on Advertioing.— The English jour
eals, we remark, are strongly urging Parlia
ment to abolish the present oppressive duties
levied upon every advertisement that appears
in their columns. The people —the business
community, we should think, would demand
such a reform as loudly as the editors, for upon
them it operates quite as onerously. The tax
Government ini noses upon each advertisement
is one shilling and six pence. A correspondent
of the Philadelphia North American, writing
from London, in referring to thia subject, says :
'The Times does not complain of these
taxes, although 'the leading journal of Eu
rope' pays annually to the government no leas
than ninety five thousand pounds sterling in the
shape of taxes! Thia is nearly half a million
of dollars. Thia enormous sura is thuscollec
ted: The tax on the imprinted paper amounts
to £16,000 per annum ; the taxes on the ad
vertisemeuts amount to £19,000 and the stamp
duty amounts to £60,000. The last sum in
cludes the penny stamp on the regular donble
sheet of the Times ; and the half penny stamp
on its supplement.”
Calivorsia Gold.—We copy from the
Philadelphia .fmrnoin the following, showing
the receipts of California gold up to the pre
sent time, derived from the Treasurer ol tbe
U. 3. Mint, in that city :
Receipts al V. S. Mint, Philadelphia, M,475,000
Ito. Branch du. New Orleans, 1,904,120
Total, All, 379,129
To which may be added, say $750,000 worth
of gold duet still remaining in private hands
It would thus appear that the total amount of
California gold received into this country from
the first consignment, in 1848. up to the pre
sent time, exceeds the truly enormous sum of
heefee millions of dollars; but enormous as it
is, still much below the popular estimate.
The coinage at the Mint during the present
quarter has been very heavy, as may have been
inferred from die number of certificates paid.
About SIOO,OOO of double eagles have been
coined and issued, and a still larger amount
will be coined in the course of a few days.—

hnfortant Oscines.—The New Orleans
Delta publishes ah interesting report of a law
ease juit determined in that city, in which a
widow named Hubgh m the plaintiff and the
Carrollton Railroad Company defendant. It
seems the husbaud of the woman was an en
gineer in the service of the company, and was
killed by the explosion of the boiler of a loco
motive in hie charge. It was proved that the
boiler was very detective—that the company
knew it, and were informed of it by Uta en
gineer, but neglected to take it off the road or
have it repaired. The widow of the engineer
brought an action for ten thousand dollars
damages for the loss of her husband.
Judge Buchanan charged the jury that there
was no doubt of the woman's right to recover
if the ease was made out, and the jury, after
retiring a few minutes, gave the woman a ver
diet for $5.000 damages
Snumso tn Cairo —The following sketch

Very unlike scenes whieh are sometimes wit
nessed in the New World.
*• Let us see if we can make a bargain for an
article of dress which I exnect to use in going in
to Syria; it will serve to illustrate the oriental
manner of buying and selling, which is in some
respects very diverse from our own. I wish
for a burnous or heavy eapoM. and in a shop
eiose at hand 1 see several exposed to view :
wo stop at an old acquaintances, with whom
wo have dealt before. He is delighted to see
us, presses us to mount the mastabath and take
a pipe; the latter we declined, courteously of
course, and beg him to the burnoos. I
find one which fits me tolerably; and 1 inquired
tbe price ; being a customer, he does not ad
vance oa wbat be means to lake more than
eigthy or a hundred piastres, and for tbe same
reason, I do not offer him lees than a hundred
below wbat 1 purpose giving ; then begins the
speechifying; he expatiates upon the superior
quality of the article; beseeches me to handle it
and see; and declaring that he caunot for a
motnnet entertain my offer, diminishes his
price nevertheless, thirty piasters
I listened with the utmost gravity; assured
him that 1 do not particularly care much about
tbe burnoos, aud am in doubt whether to buy
one or not; but on refleetion I advanced my
offer $5 piastres This only excites tbe Turk,
and the phlegmatic merchant gets on bis feet,
and with agestare of impa'ieuee at my hard
ness, solemnly declares bis aitimatum. which is
60 piastres leas than the original price asked.
At this point I determine upon my course ; as
1 du not especially need the garment at this
lime. I say to him, rather lediflereuUr: —
‘Weil, as you please: in consideration of hav
ing traded with yon before. I wdl tell you wbat
I win do; I Will give you ITS piastres for the

The Fastest Race ever Run in America-
There was yesterday run, over the Binga
man Course, one of the most exciting and
interesting races ever run in the Southwest,
and decidedly the fastest race ever run in
America. We yesterday predicted that the
time would be exceedingly fast, but it exceed
ed our expectations. The entries were Hegira,
Fanny G., Flying Dutchman and Hark. Fly
ing Dutchman, before the start, had the call in
■ the betting circles, and in some instances he
was backed even against the field. Fanny G.,
a large slashing filly from Kentucky, was the
second favorite.
Firet Heat.—Hark jumped oft’ with the lead,
but Hegira went up and passed while going
round the first turn. Fanny G. and Hying
Dutchman were evidently watching each oth
er, aud did not contend for the heat as much as
they might have done. Hegira won the heat
under a puli by four lengths, in 1:46.j
Second Heat.— This was the great heat of
the race every horse doing his best from the
start Flying Dutchman led off, but on the first
quarter was passed by Hegira, which position
they kept until entering th : quarter stretch,
when a most brilliant struggle look place be
tween Flying Dutchman, Fanny G. and He
gira. At oue time a blanket would have cov
ered the three, and they came clattering past
the stands nearly together. For a time the
spectators were divided in opinion whether
Fanny G. or Flying Dutchman had won the
race, or whether it was a dead heat between
them. The judges finally awarded the heat to
Flying Dutchman by a throat-latch, and an
nounced the unprecedented time of 1:45j
Third Heat.— Flying Dutchman's friends
now backed him at long odds, but the backers
of Fanny G. were but little daunted after her
recent remarkable performance, and many of
them would not hedge a dollar. Hark went
off with die lead, but was overtaken and passed
soon afterwinds by Hegira On the back
stretch Fanny G. made play, and soon placed
herself in the front rank and led home a win
ner by six lengths in 1:49J).
Fourth Heat.— The betting now again chang
ed its complexion, aud the friends of Fanny
G. backed her at three and four to one against
the field; she went off with the lead and, al
though closely pressed, led from end to end,
coming in a winner of the heat and race by
tliree.lengihsiu 1:48
Much money changed hands on the result
and the most intense interest was kept up to the
last moment. The timers were Cui. Binga
man and Mr. Greer, both experienced turfmen
and timers, who agreed exactly in regard to it.
The time of the second heat has never been
equalled in America, the nearest approach to
it being 1:46, which has never been made but
three times, viz; by Robin Hood, on Long
Island, with a “catch weight;" by Jim Bell
in Kentucky and by Crealh in this State.

Trial of Dr. Webster for the Mnrder of
Dr. Parkman.
Boston, March 19, I’. M.—Our city has
been all excitement to-day, on account of the
commencement of the trial of Dr. John VV.
Webster, on the charge of murdering Dr.
Parkman. The vicinity of the court house
was crowded from an early hour, and has
continued so throughout the day, but a small
number being able to gain admittance.
The prisoner, Dr. Webster, was brought in
to the court house at precisely 9 o’clock this
morning. He was more composed than he
has been for some time, though his counten
ance bore a sombre and melancho'y appear
ance, but in other respects he was much as
usual.
A few minutes after the arrival of the pris
oner, Ghiel Justice Shaw took his seat on the
bench, accompanied by assistant Justice
Wilbe, Dewey and Metcalfe. The lower
floor of the court house was not thrown open
to the public, no one being admitted but the
witnesses, members of the bar, and jurors.—
Spectators were, however, admitted to the
small gallery, which was soon densely crowd
ed The gentlemen of the bar were present
in full force, being admitted by tickets. To
prevent a crowd, the Sheriff had taken the
precaution to barricade the corridors, and to
station officers at the outside doors.
Some time was consumed in calling the ju
rors, witnesses, &c. At 10 minutes before 10
o’clock, Attorney General J. H. Clifford
moved the court to empanel a jury in the
case. Mr Clifford, for the Slate, will be as
sisted by George H. Bemis, Esq., and the
Hon. Pliny Merriele, and E. D. Sobien ap
peared for the defence.
The Jury was finally empanuelled after four
teen peremptory challenges, ten of whom
were set aside. Robert J. Bryan is foreman.
The Court refused to excuse Benj. H Green,
because he held a decided opinion adverse to
capital punishment, but not such as would
prevent him from finding a verdict according
to law.
The case was then opened to the Jury by
the Attorney General, who confined himself to
two propositions in his indictment —first, that
Dr. Parkman was murdered—second, that
Dr. Webster committed the deed, upon which
he dwelt at great length, contending that nu
merous circumstances would be proved, irre
eoucilable with the supposition of Dr. Web
ster’s innocence.
On motion of the prosecuting attorney, all
but the medical witnesses then retired from
the court room, and preparations were made
for entering immediately on the details of the
trial.
The first witness called to the stand was
Charles M. Kingsley, who testified that be had
known Dr. Parkman since the year 1834, and
had acted as hie collecting agent up to the time
he was mining. He then proceeded to detail
hie efforts to discover the whereabouts of Dr.
Parkman, immediately after his disappearance,
and his tracing him to the Medical College,
where he was seen to enter by the last person
who saw him alive.
Witness then gave a detailed account of the
searches that were subsequently made at the
Medical College, resulting finally in finding the
mutilated remains of a man, supposed to be
those of Dr. Parkman, underneath the rooms
occupied by Dr. Webster, similar to the ac
counts you have already published.
Robert G. Shaw, a brother-in-law of Dr.
Parkman, stated that he was present at the ex
amination of the remains found under the col
lege, and believed that the lock of hair found
there was that of his relative. He would not,
however, have been able to recognise the body
as that of Dr Parkman had he not previously
known him to have been missing.
The court adjourned at four o'clock, before
the examination of Mr. Shaw had been finish
ed, until nine o'clock to-inorrow morning.
Naval. —The following information is con
tained in a letter received by au officer at lire
Brooklin Navy Yard, from au otficer on the
Pacific station: —
He stales that llieskiop-of-war Pretde will probably
be condemned and laid up at San Francisco, and
that the store-ship Fredonia will be sent home. De
sertions from United Slates vessels are numerous —the
frigate Savannah lias only 150 men remaining; the
sloop-of-war Preble, 10; the Fredonia, none; the
sloop of war Warr en, Jour marineo, am from the
sloop-of-wsr Falmouth, some eight or ten have de
serted.
The U. 8. store ship Erie, Lieut. Com’g.
W. D. Porter, for the Mediterranean, went to
sea from New York on Wednesday morning.
A New York letter in the Philadelphia North
American says:
Fn m private intelligence which reached here by
the last steamer, it is ascertained that tbe French Go
vernment has announced to Great Bnlaio its mlen
lion of withdrawing from the treaty stipulations of
1855, by which it is required to maintain a fleet of
twenty six sail on lhe coast of Africa, to aid in pre
venting the stave trade. The treaty in questi.si was
binding lor five years, and er pi res in May nest, al
which lime either party has the option of retiring from
the compact. Ibis experiment bas failed to answer
the humane purp oes in whieh it originated, and it is
a remarkable fact, that the slave trade has actually
increased since the establishment of this police. I
do not pretend to say that the augmentation would
not bare been still larger without tbe presence of live
naval force; but the official data will not only sus
tain the fact now slated, but establish tliat the atro
plurabiy worse than when public sympathy and in
dignation were so much excited in regard to tbe aw
ful inhumanities of tbe middle passage. Our treaty
with Great Britain requires the United States to
keep eighty guns oa the African coast, which bas
resulted in very few, if any. practical advantages to
tbe condition of these wretched beings.
Ths LaTXST NkWS FROM VALPARAISO.—The
Mercantile Reporter of the 12th of January
eontaine information of interest to the commer
cial community. The mining business of
Chili, owing to the discovery of new silver and
copper veins had much increased. In the dis
trict of Copiapo, food for the animals engaged
in transporting produets was very scarce. The
portage is said to be difficult, and the railroad
proposed to run from Copiapo to tbe coast is
believed to be necessary. The increase of
copper foundries along the eoast is said to be
thrivingiu spite of the restrictive laws of Eng
land. D. Carlos Lambert has the most exten
sive foundry, situated al Coquimbo.
The number of vessels that arrived at Val
paraiso in 1849, was 968. Os these. 232 were
English; 234 American.
The only news of any importance brought
by the Ecuador is that a treaty had been enter
ed into between tbe Bolivian and Peruvian
governments, from whieh great benefits are
expected to arise to both countries. The Pe
ruvian government has at last determined on
paying off the old claim of the Chilian Repub
lic for four millions of dollars.
Mona Pacific Stcamxks.- Wo learn from
die Boston Daily Aiotrtittr, that the propellers
Gen. Warren and Com. Preble, which bare
been plying between Boston and Portland for
a few years past, have been purchased by a
company in New York and Boston, for about
$23,000 each aed will proceed from New York
for California. Tbe Gen. Warren was to leave
Boston on Saturday afternoon.
The proper disposition of the mineral lands
of California—the geld mines and placers, and
tbe mines of silver and quicksilver—is en
gaging the attention of the Government. The
whole of the valuable tracts known to contain
depositee of the precious metals, belong—with
an inconsiderable exception here and there—
to the General Government. It is stated that
Hon. T. Baller King, who has recently re
lumed from California, will treat oa this sub
ject in tea fortbeoimag report.
The St. John.—We learn from the Camden
(Wilcox co.) Mirror, that some nineteen bodies
have boon discovered, of those lost on the •'*
fated St. John, by the exertions of the people
of that county, as follows :
Mrs Mcßain, Dr. Mcßain, Mr. S. Vaughan,
Mr&. Sizer, Camden, S. C.; lady, name un
known, supposed to be of Irish blood ; 2 ladies
reported to be found at Yellow Bluff; Miss
Hall, a little girl nine or ten years old. Augus

From Peru —We have received files of the
Lima Comercio to December 31st.
The presidential canvass was being conduct
ed with considerable spirit. The principal can
didates are Gen. Echerrique, Gen. Vevanco
and Gen Iquain. The former is accused of
favoring the Bolivian interest, and of not being
a native of Pern.
Much excitement was produced against the
Senate by its determination to hold over with
out submitting to a new election. This is de
dared to be a violation of the second article
of the constitution, which says that half of
the Senators must be elected each for four
years.
On the 22d of December the regular session
of Congress dosed, and an extra session com
menced. The President in his message de
scribes his position among the contending fac
tions as one of extreme difficulty, but hopes
that with the aid of Congress he will be able
to maintain peace and order.
By a recent law foreign manufactured im
ported products, similar to those produced in
Peru, are to pay a duty of nine-tenths the price
for which the domestic article sells. The
Comercio argues then that if a person should
want a carriage like one which should cost in
Peru SISOO, and should have to pay $1350
duty, the consequence would be that he would
have no carriage, and the Government wonld
get no revenue.
There had been several disturbances in Are
qiiipa, between the friends of the rival candi
dates for the Presidency. The pogniard was
freely used.
At Tacus similar scenes were enacted, when
Gen. Pezet, alarmed by the state of affairs, as
sembled the citizens, and took measures to ,
suppress any attempt against public order.
These measures were successful.
The Peruvian Congress has imposed a duty
of 90 per cent, on pianos, because they manu
facture better ones in Peru. Rather a singu
lar reason, we should think.
There is not much news from Bolivia. It
was rumored that Balltvian had succeded in ef
fecting a revolution against Beizu in the South,
through the assistance of Ginares. The re
port, however, was false. The latest report
was that Ballivian was in Valparaiso.— Pic.

who acknowledged the facts. Esquerro,
Bosque, Peralty, and two Washingtons were
arrested. In the house of the latter were found
twenty pair of pistols, and a draft for $3,750,
rather a small capital for a revolution we should
think. Diaz Noriega Igual, a companion of
the notorious Padre Jarauta, and Teconis,
were supposed to be at the head of the plot.
The Monitor complains bitterly of the con
duct of the Americans settled on the Rio
Grande. It says that the Government should call
on the United States to repress the excesses of
those who, notwithstanding their railroads, tele
graphs and steamboats, are very troublesome
neighbors, notwithstanding that they continual

Late from Havana.
Br the arrival of the Isabel, at Charleston,
we have dates from Havana to the 22d inst.
inclusive. The following extract from the
correspondence of the Courier contains the
only intelligence of interest:
Havana, March 22.
The steamer Ohio came in from Cbaerea a day or
two since, with 65 passengers, of whom 11 are for
New Orleans, and the rest for New York. Among
them there are about 100.000 dollars worth of gold
dust and pieces of gold, although many of them
brought none, No mails had arrived from California,
but were hourly expected. The Ohio on her passage
to this port, burned out all her seal, and had torewut
to her wheel houses for fuel.

making nearly 1100 passengers for Chagres, includ
ing those from Havana.
Havana, March 21.—Since our report of the 7th
inst., lire supplies of Sugar become more abundant,
and Planters have shown more disposition to sell, al
though without making any concessions of importance
in prices. Shipments hare proceeded with a fair
amount of activity, and more has gone forward than
last year to the same period. At the moment, the
transactions are resricted, owing to the approach of
the holidays, and there will be very little doing until

East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. — The
Daltnn Times says: At a late meeting of the
Board of Directors ol this Road, A. R. Keys,
Esq., was re-elected President, and R. C.
Jackson, Esq., decretory. The enterprise is
conducted with admirable energy, and the
superstructure is so far completed, that it will
be ready for the rails from this city to the Hi
wassee river, by the firot of Juno next. Several
miles can he laid down in a day, when this
part of lhe work is commenced; and it is in
contemplation to carry the rails from this place
as fast as lhe road is ready for them. An ad
jonrued meeting of the Board was to have
been held on the Bth inst., the proceedings of
which we have not heard from.
We mentioned on Monday that Allen Camp
bell. E«q., for many years Chief Engineer of
the Harlem Railroad, had recently been invit
ed to undertake the construction of a railroad
in Chili. We learn further that thia road is to
run from lhe port of Caldera, on lhe Pacific,
to lhe town of Copiapo. distant fifty-five miles
The great business of lhe road will be to
transport copper and copper ores from lhe
mines of Copiapo, and coal for smelting, and
also provisions for the consumption of the
miners Mr. Campbell’s competisation is to
be $6,000 a year, and his expenses out and
back paid.
Tax Rivkr. —At lhe several points above
us, within our Stale, the Mississippi, at our
latest accounts, had commenced falling gradual
lv At w— s«x -me-ndl -rwtrnTV
niches; at Natchez to about a foot, &c , so
that lhe river is now at lire level of high water
mark last year, it having previously been high
er by several inches. It is to be presumed
that the fall will not be permanent, as the great
flood which lately swelled lhe Ohio is at so great
a height as will arrest its progress; and the
spring freshets from the Arkansas, Missouri,
and Upper Mississippi, now all rising, and
some of them rapidly, will bring a flood down
upon us probably exceeding any ever before
known. Already a vast amount of damage has
been inflicted on our planters. Crevasses al
most innumerable have taken place, and exten
sive tracts of laud, including some of the finest
plantations to the State, have been submerged.
The young crops have in many instances been
destroyed, and in others the floods have en
tirely prevented planting; a large amount ol
stock has been carried away, and sugar mills,
plantation bouses, and uegro huts, have been
swept off by the devastating element. We
have no data on which to base an estimate of
the damage sustained, but we have no doubt it
will amount to millions of dollars. In the face
of these facts, and knowing the danger which
menaces the city of New Orleans, where two
thirds o r the revenue is collected, the Legislature
still neglects to pass lhe bill appropriating lhe
paltry amount of S7O 000 to its protection.
Our legislators appear to be willing that an
other crevasse should pour its flood upon us,
that millions of our property should be destroy
ed, and thousands of our citizens driven from
their homes when they have lhe power to pre
vent lhe catastrophe.'
Can ignorance or folly go farther than this!

From the New York Herald, March 10.
Wo have received, by tho arrival of the
splendid steam ship Empire City, CapL Wil
son, from Chagres, very late and important
new- from Nicaragua and the other Central
American States.
The advices from Leon de Nicaragua ye to
the 11th alt., inclusive. Our files of the
Correo del Jetmo de Nicaragua, are to the last,
and our correspondence to the 11th.
On the 21st January, a north American
steamer arrived at the mouth of river St. Juan,
from New York, having on board Messrs.
White and Livingston, and accompanied by a
small steamer, built for the purpose of naviga
ting the St. Juan river, and to cross the great
lake. Thus the effects of the inter-oceanic
contract begin to appear. The above intelli
gence is officially communicated to the gov
ernment, from Grenada, by the commandant
of the department, Feirtnin Ferrer. The name
of the steamer was the M Orus.”
The Supreme Dictator of the State of Ni- :
caragua has also issued a poclaination for the
establishment of troops of militia, in order to
prepare for the defence of the territorial integ
rity of the State, which, in his proclamation,
he says is evidently threatened.
■ Leon De Nicaragua, Feb. ll.—There is a
good deal of disquiet in this State in conse
quence of reports which are industriously cir
culated by British agents, upon what they as
sert to be official authoriy, that Mr. Lawrence
aud Lord Palmerston have agreed upon some
project in reference to affairs here, which
amounts to a complete sacrifice of the great
principle involved in the Musquito question.
It is said Mr. Lawrence has consented to a vir
tual recognition of the “Mosquito Kingdom,”
in return for which the projected Canal is
not to be obstructed by Bowleg and his British
masters. The language which the leading men
of the country use, is significant of what will
follow, in case these rumors should prove
well founded. They say that the United States
and England have no power to barter away
the*r rights on the Musquito Co«ast; and that
if the United States lends itself to British
schemes, or permits itself to be drawn into any
section of the Musquito fraud, they will re
voke the Canal contract, and if necessary ap
peal to arms. The talk about arms sounds a
little,absurd, but shows the disposition of the
people. They have granted rights and privi
leges to the United States' believing that it
must, both from principle and sympathy, side
with and sustain them against the insults and
aggressions of England. But if, upon the first
growl of the British lion, Jonathan backs out
he will lose his credit, and fal into disgrace
with every other American republic.
The Waters. —We are now pretty well
tupplied with water. A good part of the
of the Mississippi side, we regret to learn that
they are suffering quite as badly from the
same cause. For instance, we learned, yester
day, that Grand Gulf was almost entirely un
der water. Other points near ns on the Mis
sissippi side are not more fortunate.
At this ponl. there has been a fall of nearly
or about six inches. Some persons think that
this fall has been occasioned by a break in (Mrs.
Lee’s and other) levees above us. We do not
think so.
There is a report of a heavy volume of
water coining. It will not hurt us here, al
though it may do damage above Providence. —

Boston, March 21.—The application of Fran
cis O. J. Smith, as assignee of the Electro-Mag
nectic Telegraph vs. Jos. W. Clark and others,
for injunction on alleged infringements by the
latter on the Morse patents, in the use of ttie
House Printing Telegraph between this city
and New York, was resumed this morning be
fore Hon. Levi Woodbury, U. S. Circuit Court.
The Court agreed to postpone the injunction,
in order to enable the parties to prepare for
trial.
Truth of the Rio Grande— The trade of the
Rio Grande is rapidly increasing, and lhe mer
chants of Brownsville are calling the attention
of Congress to lhe importance of its protec
tion. The trade of Mexico with New Orleans
alone, amounted some 12 or 15 years since,
to many millions of dollars annually ; but from
various causes it had sunk down to a mere
nothing previous to the annexation of Texas.
The possession of the Rio Grande through its
whole extent on the Mexican frontier, now
offers advantages and facilities to American
merchants much greater than what they ever
before possessed in connection with the trade
of that republic, and so rapidly is this com
merce increasing, that the official customhouse
returns show that during the last year there
were imported into the mouth of the Rio
Grande, from the United States, American
productions to the value of 2,500,000, and ar
ticles of foreign production to the extent of
$500,000, and this year the prospects are that
the value of the trade will be still farther great
ly increased, and will continue to do so yearly.

Messrs. Editors :—We had a tremendous
storm of hail and rain on Friday, in this neigh
borhood, which extended several miles ; chim

for several miles, in some places there was

The railroad companies of New Jersey hav

in 1832, gave employment to about 30,000 la
burers, and yielded over 15,000 hogsheads of
sugar, and over 6,000 puncheons of rum.
During the same period over five hundred
coffee plantations have been abandoned and
their works broken up. This threw out of

The Canadian annexation movement excites

pression of the wishes of the Canadians. Lord
Denman has retired from the wool-sack, and
Lord Campbell has been appointed Chief Jus
tice.

London Herald bays that it will take something
in the shape of a steam ship that was never
produced to beat them.
The conduct of Lord Palmerston, in contin
uing the Greek blockade, is severely commen
ted upon by the English journals, and were it
not lor the belief which exists, that his Lord
ship has made a demonstration against Russia
his conduct would meet with general repro
bation.
The Russian court presented an energetic
remonstrance against the proceedings of the
English government, and public opinion is
general that, if necessary, the Czar will give
the Greeks efficient support The Russian
note to the minister at London says: ‘You
will demand of Lord Palmerston to what extent
he intends to employ force in support of his
claims, in order that the allies of King Otho
may be in a position to consider what means
may be necessary for them to adopt to guaran
tee the independence of that monarch and his
people. ‘

at Madrid.
Prussia and the German States.— The Prus
sian Monitor of the sth inst., publishes the
names of the members of the Chamber of the
State named by the Government. They are
all of the aristocratic class
The Consuintionalists and Democrats will
not interfere in the election for the first cham
ber, because they consider that the nomination
of so many inembers of the aristocracy is too
significant a hint on the part of the Govern
ment to admit of a hope that the internal liber
ties of Germany are about to be developed.
Baltimore. March 23 — Further by the Niag

Canadian affairs excite but little interest.
Baltimore, March 23.

dent, in passing through Honduras, found eve
ry body very much excited in consequence of
the late outrages of Mr. Chatfield, the British
Consul. The people seemed ready to make
any reasonable sacrifice, rather than put up
with bis insults longer. It was a pleasant con
trast to observe in what a different manner the
American representative, Mr. Squierwas spo
ken of. He is regarded as having saved the
important Island of Tigre. The leading citi
zens of Honduras are desirous of signifying
their personal gratitude to him.
The English agents are very busy just now.
They say the United States has agreed to ac
knowledge the Musquito Sambos as a nation
under their protection, and will use their in
fluence to have the Canal pass through. This,
of course, is all deception, although they posi
tively say that such an arrangement has been
made with an American Minister in England,
and that Lord Palmerston is a party to the bu
ainesa.
Philadelphia, March 10, P. M. —From Car

1,500 and 2,000 bales, and it has cost me only 2 wbet
tings during that time, and the first time was by said
Wynne. 1 have aiwaye been able to get the highest
market price in Augusta for the Cotton ginned on
said Gin, according to quality, before ginned.
I would recommend ait persons that want to pur
chase a good Gin, to try one of Mr. Wynne’s as
they test a long time with little repairing and work
well. I think persons trying Mr. Wynne’s Gins
will be well pleased. W. GUNN.
Let this certify, that I have used one of Mr. Thos.
Wynne’s make ot Cotton Gins two years, and it
performs to my entire satisfaction, and as an evi
dence of its good performance, 1 a ways get the
highest market price fur my cotton. As yet, theie
is no perceptible wear on the breest of the Gin,
which is a prooi of i s durability. A few weeks ago
I was in Mr. T. Wynne’s Machine Shop and saw
Gins in ail stages of progression, from the beginning
to the finish, and the faithful workmanship I could
recommend.
Attached to these Gins are Water Boxes and Oil
Feeders which make them fire-proof. These Gins
are also negro proof, for all the awkwarduess and
carelessness of a negro will not put them out of order.

Wynne. PETER KNOX.
Washington, April 2, 1848-—Mr. Wynne.
Dear Sir, -1 hereby certify, that the Gin I bought of
you in 1834, ten years ago, has ginned for me be
tween 1,000 and 1,100 bales. I have used no other
Gin. I have not bad it whetted or repaired, and it
is yet in good order, i would recommend Mr.
Wynne’s Gin to farmers as one of the beat tu be ob
tained. W. STATON.

Gin from Mr. Time. Wynne, of Columbia county,
Ga., which runs free from heat, as much at any Gfo
I rv« r mw, and will run a longtime without heating.
The said Gin performs well—it picks the seeds
clean—leaves a fine staple—moats well, leaving r»n *
cMton among the moats. I therefore feel it my duty
to recornmend the said Gio U> tbe public.

cure a foal in the Spring will be entitled to the Fall

He is a dark brown—nearly black—l 6 hands 1 inch
high, four years old last spring, of good form and
great muscular power, and a quick trotter under the
saddle or in harness. It would be almost useless to
say any thing in relation to the Morgan stock of
Horses, as they stand unrivalled in the United States
for elegance, stiength, action and durability. Tbe
cross with the pure blooded Canadian is what we
thing will please men of good judgment. Permit us
here to remark that KENNETH has been pronounced
by what we consider the best of judges, to be the finest
four year old Coll they ever saw. Persons wishing
his services will do well to apply soon, as the number
of mares will be limited.

Mr. Smith : Dear Sir— l am bow using one of
your improved Smut Machines in my mill of two run
•f stones; I have used it about ten mouths; I ain
satisfied that it surpasses all other machines in use.
The improvement of the tcroll is important ! I run
ibruiigh my machine wheat, rye, barley and buuk •
wheat ;it does not mix grain from one gii»l to the
• >ther. It cleans to our entire ?at iataetion all
•■rain, wet or dry, and as regards power, I can scarce
ly perceive the least variation of my mill in putting .
■n your Sinutler; I have been told that your Sunil
ter took more power than some others; it is a mis- --.-. fl
take; 1 never run one that l<ok so little power to do
the same work. lam bound to say that it is a grand < .
xmutter, and on a fair trial no miller would be with- IM
out one. ISAAC WHEELER MM
