ill the time when the people were about to
lynch Stuart and Wilred. two moths ago. the
Australian con vic s who infest the city had
formed a plan to take revenge by burning San
Francisco. They had a ship ready in pott to
transport them and their plunder from the
place, after paving their plan in operation.
Fortunately, this diabolical project camo to the
knowledge of the police in time to frustrate it.
It is also stated that a few days before the
fire, a person went to a merchant of San I ran
cisco and told him that if he hud any goods he
wanted topreserve he had better send them
out of the city, as, on the night of the 3d of
May,there would be a great fire, to celebrate
the annivesary of the conflagration of last year.
Furtheb Particulars. —The great fire in
San Francisco on the 3d and 4th of May was a
most calamitous event, destroying fifteen hun
dred houses in the finest portion of the city. In
lieu of any reflections of our ow n we give the fol
lowing article from the 41 ta California of the
6th olt. It is a description of the awful
scene: w
To one capable for a little while of divesting
himself of his sympathies, the tornado of fire
which has traveled its devouring path over our
city furnishes a scensof more beauty, grandeur,
terror and sublimity, probably, than any other
event whicn has transpired in our nation during
the present century. And yet all one’s sensibil
ities were inevitably interested, and were neces
sary in order that this awful exhibition of na
ture. in her wildest and most pitiless mood,
should duly and perhaps profitably affect nun
through his more kindly qualities.
The commencement of the fire was like the
flash of gunpowder, so almostinstantaneous was
its spread. For a few moments hope, fear arid
dread balanced upon the brakes of the engines,
and if earnest wishes and well placed confi
dence in the exertionsof our gallant philanthro
pists, the firemen, could have saved the city, she
would now be standing like a bride in her loveli
ness, instead of the blackened martyr at the
stake, as she now appears. Many persons in
habiting or owning buildings which appeared to
be entirely out of the possible rango of the de
struction, looked upon its commencement with
out a thought of themselves, only actuated by
their sympathies for others for some time. How
suddenly were their dreams of security ended
In a few hours, perhaps in a few minutes, they
too were wanderers in the streets, houseless,
homeless, stripped of everything, in hundreds
of cases not saving a suit of clothes.
As the first faint hope of stopping the flmes at
the place of origin died out, the city’s terrible
impending fate became more and more manifest.
Yet no man’s mind could anticipate in its full
extent the scope and completeness of the ruin.
The wind, which was blowing fresh from the
northwest when the fire commenced, soon in
creased whirldwinds around the flaming piles,
the heated air, loaded with smoke, cinders and
flames, rushing up towards heaven, crackling
and roaring like a tornado, while fresh gustsand
gales came whirling in from every side to fill the
melting vacuum with new ministers of destruc
tion. The view was sad, afflictive, awful.
Great masses of smoke ascended and rolled
away loaded with the wealth of men, the re
wards of toil and danger, bearing far above the
city great flocks and shots of burning cinders,
and forming huge clouds touched with every
tint from clear white light to the darkness of
night. Frame houses faded away like frost
work. The beautiful Parker House was made
a heap of coals and ashes in a few moments.
Brick houses became batteries of fl ones and
poured forth immense jets from their windows
and doors.
Iron and zinc curled up like scorched leaves
and sent forth their brilliant flames of green, blue
and yellow tints, mingling with and modifying
the great red tongues of fire which flashed up
wards from a thousand burn ng houses. Lhe
hillsides were lighted as if the sun were above
the eastern mountai is, and iheir trees, shrubs,
herbage and houses were as distinguishable in
the bright light as If it were noon. Darkness
hung over a large portion of the shipping, where
the broad and heavy ocean of smoke lay down
in impenetrable gloom over the bay. People
became paralysed. Many removed their stocks
of woods, or portions of them, four or five times,
and had them overtaken and dcstryed by the
flame’at last. The streets were crammed with
masses of human beings and rushing teams,
only giving way before the advance oi lhe ele
ments, as the smoke and heat and crashing
walls pushed them back. Men became mad;
some rushing headlong into the flames Weep
ing women and prattling infancy were wander
ing amid ashes and destruction.
Every few moments the earth ami air treinl led
as great buildings were lorn into fragments by
explosions of gunpowder, and the atmosphere
was filled with timbers, brick and nvrtar. The
multitude hung ur on the bo r ders of this “vast
■ea offlime;” few comjarativeiy knew, or
could know, what were lhe exertions of those
who were withia the range of the stifling smoke
and scorching flame. In less than nine hours
from the beginning mote than twenty squares
existed only in memory and in the ascending
columns ol smoke and flame which covered the
city's site
The Union Hotel burned like a furnace until
the woodwork was nearly destroyed, when the
huge walls, five stories high, pitched headlong
into the street and over the wrecks ol neigh
boring dwellings, long before they reached the
earth completely lost in the flames and smoke
which ascended from below 80 intense was
the heat, that jets of water poured from t he hose
became instantly converted into scorching
streams or were licked up by the thirsty flames
Nothing less than a river of water seemed suffi
cient ta HSsSi.
But lhe s ’.ddest sight of all was the destruc
tion of the brave, but bewildered men, who,
finding themselves suddenly surrounded with
fire, rushed, staggered and uncertain, from flame
to flame, in hopeless efforts to escape, until
strangled and scorched they writhed and fell in
full view of hundreds wt o were completely pow
erless to save them. Others after battling in
si le of what they had considered fire-proofs,
finding their efforts to save the buildings vain,
endeavored to escape, rut 100 late. The doors
and window blinds were red hot and could not be
opened in some instances and their last chance
of safety failed them. We cannot express our
sensations of yesterday, while looking upon the
blackened remains of poor humanity, as they
still lay burned to coals amid the fire which filled
the cellar of a building on Montgomery street,
still beyond the reach of nil who gazes upon
them. May we never again sec so horrible a
spectacle.
The Floo». —By the steamer Magnolia, ar
rived last evening, we received the following
news of the subsidence of the flood. The
Republican of the 12th says :—Fir.
The river attained its greatest elevation at h
P. M. of Tuesday. It remained stationary
during the night, and in the fore part ot the
next day a alight decline was perceptible. At
6P. M., it had fallen about one inch. Accord
ing to the measurements of Mr. Coote, of the
city engineer’s department, the highest alti
tude was still short of the great flood of 1844,
four feel nine and a half inches The Missouri
did not attain the same elevation as m 1844
by several feet, but the Upper Mississippi and
its tributaries overstepped that limit several
feet, and were really most instrumental in
producing the gre >t mischief which the flood
has brought upon tho country. We are in
clined to think that the damage upon the Mis
sjurl will be less than than was caused by the
flood of 1844, although the lowlands have been
greatly improved since that time by industri
ous planters and the number of farms have
much increased. Still it has not covered so
great an extent of land —the stock, of every
description, have had place of refuge left to
them, which was not the case in 1844. and the
people have been better prepared for the visi
tation. As it is, we fear that it is had enough.
it is probable that the State of lowa wdl
suffer more than either of the other States
visited by the flood, its ravages have not been
confined to the borders of the Mississippi, but
the Destnoines. and all the streams which water
the Slate so bountifully, have been out of their
banks—bridges have been swept away, mills
destroyed in every direction, towns inundated
and houses washed ofi, and valuable farms sub
merged.
The loss will be very great, and as the sea
son for planting is well advanced, it may be
that the crops will be deficient. An industri
ous and vigorous people wiil, however, soon
recover, from these disasters, and this, we have
no doubt, will be the case m lowa
The State of Illinois has also been greaily
injured by the visitation This has been par
ticularly the casa along the Illinois river,
where many towns and farms have been sub
merged. and great destruction of property has
followed. In the upper part of our State
bordering upon the Alissiisippi great damage
has been sustained, and the low lands on both
sides of the river to the south of us have also
suffered very serious injury As, however,
the flood below us covered a much less space
of ground than in 1844, we may hope that
many places may have been spared from its
injurious effects
Our citizens shou'd at once prepare far the
fall of the water, and to cleansetheir cellars
and stores from all causes of sickness. Un
less this shall be done aa fast as the water tails,
the court non of irany ot them must pro
duce disease. They should bo thoroughly
cleansed, and ventilated so far as this can be
done, and well limed With these precau
tions. there is little room to apprehend an
unusual amount of sickness. Tho city au
thorities, we have no uoobt. will lake care
that the levee is put in good order as fast as
the water leaves it. Thus, iu a lit la while,
all traces of this calamay will rapidly disap
pear.

News by the Niagara.
The steamer Niagara arrived at New York on
Friday morning.
By this arrival we have London dates to the

Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser.
London, Friday, June 6, 1851.
The last dates from London were by the Hum
boldt, which left Southampton on the 4th.
Since then we have had news of ? reactionary
movement in Portugal against General Saldan
ha, and also an account ot the reception given
by the French Press and lhe National Assembly
to the speech just delivered by Louis Napoleon,
during his visit to Dijon.
The details of lhe new’ trouble in Portugal are
imperfect and doubtful, but it is alleged that cer
tain battallions in the provinces, instigated it is
to be presumed by Court agencies, have declared
in favor of the old state of things, and that
consequently a civil war is still imminent.
Since his appearance in Lisbon, as the Prime
Minister of the humbled Queen, Saidanha has
figured as the real ruler of the country; while
her Majesty has been forced to recognise that
her position is only one of sufferance. Galled
and desperate, she has probably resorted to the
habitual treachery of continental monarchs, and
while professing to accept Saldanha, as the
President of her Council, has set on foot every
possible intrigue to insure his overthrow. Should
the attempt fad her position will be perilous,
and the abdication, which hasalready been talk
ed of, may then become indispensible.
Meanwhile the affair excites uneasiness both
in Spain and France, wheie lhe contagion of a
successful rebellion in any shape is greatly
dreaded. Had Narvaez been in power in Madrid
it may indeed ha regarded as certain that Span
ish troops would at once have bten despatched
to Lisbon to assist lhe Royal cause ; and al
though the present Ministers of Spain are more
liberal than their predecessors, they are still not
prepared lor any important popular concessions,
such as would most likely be demanded if the
Portuguese experiment were to prove success
ful.
The effect of lhe late speech of Louis Napo
leon has been just what was anticipate!. In his
actual words he referred to the Assembly as
having been always ready 10 thwart his desire
for the good of the people. The Minister re
monstrated against the imputation and refused
to recognize it. It was accordingly omitted from
the official report of the speech in the Moniteur
and by this means the Government were saved
from an adverse vote. The “Rentes,” which
experienced a fall on the first intelligence of the
speech, have since recovered. The feeling how
ever, is simply that of a rcspi’e. The crisis
which teemed to threaten for the moment has
been got over, but the discussion in the Cham
ber was such as to attest that the forbearance of
the various parties only arises from each being
unprepared.
Meanwhile the general interests of the coun
try are suffering severely. The Bank of France
has now the unprecedented sum of £23,000,000
sterling of specie in its vaults, while its note
circulation is only £2(,000,000. Private per
sons prefer to deposit their money in this way.
so as to be able to draw it any moment, instead
of lending it upon bills of exchangeor investing
it in trade, or in the public funds, and lhe bank
itself is also afraid to use these deposits by ex
tending its discounts, or taking any measures
that would cause the establishment to be unpre
pared for the worst emergencies. The lowest
rate for money is therefore still kept at 4 per
cent, and the abundance that exists is conse
quently of no advantage to lhe merchant or
manufacturer. As iar as the execution of im
mediate orders is concerned, trade of course
goes on as usual, but there is none of the enter
prise which should take place at periods when
capital is cheap ; such as the extension and im
provement of taclories, lhe development of new
inventions and the purchase of free machinery,
so a# to keep up in the race of competition with
other nations. During every month of her pres
ent existence, France loses ground wifi ch she
will not recover for years. The distress thus
occasioned will increase the perils of future
Mi dairies, and if a bad harvest should intervene
consequences would be likely to arise which
would again disturb the whole of Europe.
Advices from Tuscany received yesterday de
scribe an outrage on the part of the Govern
ment at Florence, which lias aroused ihe deep
est animosity of all classes. A demonstration
in the Church of Santa Croce in honor of the
Tuscans who fell in 1348, in their struggle
against the Auttrians, was interrupted by armed
policeman who nad been introduced into lhe
building, and who knowing that they were sup
ported by Austrian troops outside, proceeded to
the most arbi rary violence, causing a riot w hich
was consummated by lhe gendarmes firing on
the congregation, of whom two were killed and
eight wounded. It should always be kept in
mind that the reigning Grand Duke, under
whom these things are peipetratcd, is one of that
large family of ru ers who, during the outbreaks
of 1843, followed the example ol the Pope and
absconded from their people upon the first
threatenings of difficulty ur danger
Eighty nine Hungarian officers and soldiers,
including General Messaros, arrived yesterday
at Southampton from Coi.staniiiiople. They
contemplate proceeding to lhe United States.
Kossuth was last seen by them at Kntayah on
ihe6ih ultimo. His wife and child were with
hili, and about twenty five Hungarians who
are still prisoners. The Turks promise him his
libt rty in .September.
In home affairs their is nothing to notice.
The Proceedings in Parliament give fresh evi
dence night alter night of the injury that would
be sustained by the country if a Ministry were
to remain long in office upon conditions such
as those under which the Russell administra
tion al present exists. The understanding being
that they are not to be turned out on any ac
count, their very weakness has endowed them
with a mure irresponsible degree of power than
was ever before centered in any Government.
Measures which are co denined unequivocally
by public opinion from all sides, arc nevertheless
supported when they come to a final vote, be
cause tbcro must be no new crisis this year.
Their majorities, it is true, are usually such as
are only sufficient to answer the purpose of con
veying them from defeat, but as lar as the pre
volition of useful legislation is concerned, a ma
jority of five in such hands is just *s good as a
maj >rity of 500. Under these circumstances a
strong feeling is growing up that it will be de
sirable for the session to be brought to a close
as soon as possible.
The conflicting parties in me established
Church have had a strong contest during the
week, in which the Puseyites have been defeat
ed, although not in away altogether creditable
to their opponents. The question involved the
right of lay-interference with schools established
under the national system, and placed by their
founders under the control of parochial clergy
men, and was in spirit, precisely the same as
the point raised by the Gorham question —name
ly, whether lay authorities have lhe light to in*.
ler sere in any matters of discipline or manage
ment in which the doctrines and practices ol the
church are concerned The Puseyites, wishing
for absolute power in their own schools, raised
the discussion, and it was at one time thought
they would succeed : but although the principle
for which they contended is one that would
certainly not be deliberately disowned by the
Church under ordinary cicu instances, the exist
ing state of affairs appealed to render an opposite
view more expedient to the majority, and the
effort has consequently been defeated. It will
undoubtedly, however, be renewed from year to
year, and will most probably increase greatly the
tendency t«» Episcopal disruption.
The obituary for the week includes the death
of the Earl of Shaftesbury, an event which will
remove Lord Ashley, his son, from the House
of Commons to the House of Peers, and create
a vacancy in the representation of the city of
Bath.
With regard to commercial matters, there is
not much to notice. The rate of money con
tinues steady at three per cent., and the funds
remain firm at 98, with an improving tendency
w hich is only checked by the doubtful petition
•f afl'airein France. During the week we have
had X 250,000 in specie from your side, as there
is now no export either of gold or silver going on
to any extent, nothing can prevent an accumula
tion in the bank, except such demand as may
arise Irom the activity of the circulating iw dium
throughout lhe country, caused by the move
ments of lhe population consequent on the
Great Exhibition.
The difficulties at Liverpool connected with
the recent crisis have not yet been quite got over,
and another failure is expected to be announe
ed in the course ot a few days. The house in
question has been obliged to apply lor time, an i
efforts are making to prevent an actual suspen
sion, although it is not expected they will suc
ceed. The representation is that with a liitle
delay the assets would be found sufficient to
cover ail demands. Spectatob.
England.— The Parliamentary intelligence is
without interest. On the night of Thursday,
June 5, leave was given for the bringing in of
a bill prohibiting certain obstructions by bar

An appeal has been made to lhe Archbishop
of Canterbury, to interpose his authority so as
to prevent the meeting ot the Episcopal Synod,
called bv lhe Bishop of Exeter. Archbishop re
plied that while he anticipated evil to the
Church iiotn the meeting of the synod, yet he
had no power to interfere if it was not contrary to
the law of the land. If it was, the law officers
of lhe Crown could interfere more effectually
than he could. The Attorney General has
since decided that the meeting of the synod is
not illegal.

Peru.—General Echinque, the new Presi
ded, received lhe Executive auihoriy on the
20th of April. The occasion was signalized
by two events of very different character—
the opening of the railroad from Callao to
Lima and the breaking out of a revolt in the
city of Areqniba. It appears that a company
of the friends of Gen. Ec unique, among them
the Intandent of Police, were assembled to
gether on the 20th of April, celebrating the in
auguration of the new President, which took
place the tame day in Lima. In the heat of
their enthusiasm they hung out a banner, in
scribed “Viva Jose Rulio Echinique!” and
saluted it with cheers. This was distasteful to
the population, a majority of whom were
friends of Vivanco, the defeated candidate.
They collected in groups, and began to cry
out, "Down with the Bann.tr !” One of the
opposite party, a Col. Lopez, ordered out a
troop of cavalry and attempted to disperse
them. This brought on a collision ; barri
cades were thrown up, a general fight com
menced, and each party began a p'tinder ol
the houses of the other. The Prefect of the
Cily attempted to quell the disturbance but |
without effect.
The people fired on lhe town of San Fran
cisco and the barracks of the soldiers: the
IVeIL were rung in all the Churches to call
them together, and after 26 hours of incessant
fighting the troops were driven from the city.
Some of the prominent inhabitants then exert
ed themselves to restore peace. A deputation
was sent to ihe Prefect, who entered the city
on ihe 24:h. amid general acclamation. Du
ring the fight 80 persons were killed and
wounded, the soldiers being the greatest suf
ferers.
At the latest date, *he 28th cf April, there
was still some excitement among the citizens,
and it was feared that the troubles were not
wholly quieted.— N. Y. Tribune.

New and Valuable Invention— lmportant
to Planters.— We are informed by onr friend,
Mr. E T. Parker, of this county, that he has
discovered the method and invented a machine,
which he has had in successful operation during
the last two months, which will plant and cul
tivate Cotton with about one-fourth the usual
labor to a man and horse, and which does the
work much neater and better than lhe usual
way.
It lays off the rows two at a time the ridges
being made in the usual way. The machine
then opens the drill, drops ihe seed, and covers
the same in two drills at the same operation,
doing tho work of seven ur eight hands and four
horses It then harrows and scrapes both sides
of two drills, and then chops out at lhe rate of
two Aril's at a time, it then bars the same, and
cultivates, entirely breaking and stirring the
groan 1 the width of two rows at a time, super
seding nearly all the necessity of scraping arid
hoeing through (he season, &c.
The machine is worked with one horse, and
only one person is necessary to manage it—

SUnmooat Accident and Fortunate Ewpi
The steamer Massasoit, one of the boats run*
ntng between thia city. Mount Pleasant ami
Sullivan’s Island, on her 'rip yesterday miro
ing to the latter place, broke her walking beam,
on the upward motion of the piston, winch
caused the entire destruction of her cylinder,
stays, Ac. The cause of this accident was, as
we learn, a flaw in the rim of the beam Much
credit, we understand, is due to the engineer
of the boat, for his presence of mind and
prompt • ction in shutting off the steam, not
withstanding the broken fragments that were
falling around him We are gratified in sta
ting that although there were a number of per
sons on board, no one received the slightest
injury — Ch. Cour.
Eighteen years ago there was not a mile of

the present lime is about 10,000; lhe number of
miles in Great Britain, 6,284; in France. 1,831;
in Belgium, 350; in Germany. 4 542 The
number of mi'es of rai way in is
1,142. it we add to this portion of other roads

A Violent Blow.—A heavy gust of wind
accompanied by ran, from the S. East, swept
over the city yesterday afternoon, breaking the
steamers John Morrieett and Corinne adrift
from their moorings at Algiers, and driving
them afoul of the s earner Cuba. lying at the
foot of Cana' street, without doing any injury.
The Morriutt drifted down lhe river a short
distance, and was brought to nearly opposite
the lower Colton Press bv her anchor. We
learn further, that lhe hurricane did considera
ble injury on the other side of the river, pros
rating a number of buildings, and otherwise
effecting a great destruction of property. We
regret to learn, (me particulars of which we
are not n. possession of, to be more explicit)
that the buildings and sheds on the race track
were thrown down by the wind, and that fatal
to life and limb ensued. Two,
and perhaps three or more lives were ios’, and
several were mutilated and more or less seri
ously wounded The gust here was ol short
duration, and did no injury; but on 'he West
side of s he river, while it continued, it was
very violent.——N. O. Bulletin, insl.

Melancholy Catistrvphk.—The ’ Geor
gian," of the 17th iust., published at Sanders
ville, Washington county, says:
We are pained to learn of one of the most
melancholy and heart rendring occurrences
tha; it has ever befallen our lot to record, by
which our worthy fellow-citizen. Gen. Thus.
J. W-rfhen. lost a eon sod ward, iu ihe most
frightful manner. I: seems that on Friday
night last, the chi‘dren above named, were
sleeping in the upper part of an outhouse on
’he Genentl’s river plantation, near his dwe!-
i n< when the building took fire; a negro bey
sleep ug in the basemen! of the same building
awoke in time to see the stairway leading to
the apartments wherein the children were
s’eepiLg. entirely enveloped in dames, in his
bewUteMH be nailed w «>• children to make
' tlmir wav through the burning aperture, ran
I ior the General, who, arriving al tho place,
1 called to his son. and hearing no answer, he
clambered up against the end of the house and
attempted to pull off the weather boarding,
from which position he fell, his hands having
been badly blistered by contact with the heat,
lhe fire ruling more fiercely, involving lhe en
tire building, and succeeded by an immediate
crash a l hope was gone—they had perished,
doubtless, from suffocation ere lhe succoring
hand of riie parent and friend could be raised
in their b half. Such are the circumstances as
we have been enabled to learn them of this
truly calamitous affair.
t The fire originated in the chimney place of
the lower apartment, from which the stairway
runs up. and was occasioned, it is supposed,
by carelessness of the boy in taking a torch
about lhe room, or by accident from the fire
place. This occurred about 12 o’clock at
ight.
By this terrible catastrophe the General has
lost his only and much loved son, an interesting
youth of some fourteen years, and a little boy
somewhat younger, whom he had taken to
rear and educate. United only by the com
mon ties of humanity, tho loss of the latter,
I under circumstances not so appalling to hu
min sens'bility, would have unmanne I his gen
erous and sympathising heart, but when arous
ed at the dead of night to witness the heart
rendring destruction of an object of almost
idolatrous love, snatched, in the midst of life
w i’h but a moineu ’s warning into utter noth
ingness, is a stroke of calamity sufficient to
lell the stoute-t heart and die strongest nerve.
But we will not harrow up parental grief al
ready too intense, over bereavements to which
htitnan nature is the inalienable heir. Onr
com nunily deeply sympathise with Gen War
hen and family in his sad nnd melancholy dis
pensation.
New Postal Arrangements.—We learn
from -he Washington Republic of Tuesday
that a postal arrangement has been agreed up
on between the Post office Department of the
United States and the Post office Department
of New Brunswick, by which, on and afterthe
day of July next, a regular exchange of
the mails will be made between the United
S ates and the provinces of New Brunswick,
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and Newfound
land. at the same rates of postage established
for the United Sta’ea and Canada mails, to wit:
ten cents the single rate where the distance is
under 3,0(X) miles, from lhe fine of crossing.
Prepayment of postage optional in either
country.
The postage of letters, under the new law
that is to come into operation from and after
the 30th inst., to Cuba, will be ten cen‘s, if the
distance from the office does uot exceed 2.500
miles, and twenty cents when exceeding that
distance Newspapers to the Is'and subject to a
uniform rate of two cents, whatever may be the
distance. Both the letter and newspaper rates
are to be pre laid when sent from, or collected
when received in, the United States.
Extraordinary Depopulation.—Wa see
it dialed that the Roman population of Sicily,
which amounted once to 4,000.000, has de
clined to 1,900.000, and that one half of this
residuum is in a condition of extreme misery
and wretchedness T’bis melancholy state of
things is ascribed to the prevailing political
abuses with which thatfiir portion of the globe
is 'rill cted, and it is said that lhe ministry are
deaf to all propositions ur projects of reform.
Wilkes Rail Road.—The prospect is fivor
ab!e to an early commencement ofthe gra
ding of this road- Mr. Williams, the gentle
manly Engineer of the work, has recently been
on a visit to this place with a view of confer
ring with our planters, and inducing them to
take the contract for that portion of the line
lying between this and Hardin’s Creek. Noth
ing has yet been definitely agreed upon, but the
proposition has been favorably received, and
we have no doubt the whole of that portion of
the road named will be under conTac' in a few
w< eks. Negotiations are now going on with a
Company in the up-country, for grading that
part of the road lying between the Creek and
tho Georgia Rail Road, of lhe success of
which but little doubt is entertained. The
Contractors are expected to be on the line by
the first of August, and, once commenced, the
word will pushed forward with all possible
dispatch.— H'ash. Gazette.
Another Plank Road. —The chief talk of
the town for several days has been the project
of a Plank Road from this place to St. Marks
Our merchants have taken hold of '.he matter
as if they were in earnest, ami as they are
wrongly backed by some of the planters around,
there s hardly a doubt but the road will be un
deriaken Indeed there is ulriady an amount
subscribed sufficient to authorize the heginuiug
ofthe work. It is designed that lhe Road shal
be extended aferwarda or to

Another Great Railroad Movemenr.—
Tho people ot wes’prn Pennsylvania are agi
tating the question of another connexion of
that Slate with the Erie Ra.iruad A conven
tion was held al Warren. (P.i ) on the 5 h
inst, of delegates favorable to the construction
of a railroad from Pittsburg to connect at Little
Valle-’, passing up lhe valley of the Alleghanv i
river. The whole distance is 215 miles, and
tie contemplated route runs through some of
the richest mineral and agricuhurai portions
of the Stale. The construction of this road i
would be h ghly advantageous to New York i
and to Pittsburg. it would open another route
to lhe Southwest, and a I «rge section ot country
would he placed in direct conexmn with the I
former, which would secure much of its trade. i
Detroit, June 13.—The Daily Advertiser '
says, the evidence in the Rail Road Conspiracy 1
trial becomes more and more positive and
clear against Fitch. Riley Bennett and the »e 9 '
mainder of the ringleaders, and there seenq
to be ik» escape for them. Proof is made <>
the criminal acts and of the agency ol the
prisoners, as hiring and paying for lheir com
mission Commenting upon the attempt of '
these villains to fire the Michigan Central Rail- 1
road Depot, the Utica Daily Gazette says:
“Capi'al punishment was abolished iu Mich
igan a few years ago, and that liitle State has
since been a harvest field of crime. No hang
ing for murder, whet.ter on small or large 1
scale, n »r hanging for arson, even if scores of
innocent and sleeping brings perish by fire,
have led to p'ots for wholesale slaughter and
burnings. The punishment at the worst is
but confinement tor life, with the hope of par
don on proof of penitence or reforma’i in, or
in obedience to the persis ent prayers of friends.
“And so buildings are burnt m utter disre
gard of the life that may be consumed in the
flame* and torpedoes are placed upon rail road
tracks, and poison into the food of refresh nent
houses with the intent to kill hundreds of hu
man beings.”
The first and last hare already been done,
the second was on the tapis when lhe conspira
cy was blown. We know of nothing more
significant of general depravity than this con
spiracy; not even in the annals of revolution
ary Europe. Men of respectable position,
holding official stations and in comlortanle cir
cumstances, are its concoctors and its execu
tors.
“It would seem that lhe Michigan authorities
are determined to meet out to these men due
punishment, and wc trust that by that determi
nation they will abide. We hope that lhe num
ber of the conspirators and the votes ol their
connexion? will not baptize plots ol wholesale
murder as 'political offences/ nor place the
plotters in the same category with Hungarian
and Roman patriots.
The Philadelphia Ledger, speaking of Jenny
Lindas last Concert in that city, on Friday

Jenny Lind's Concert last evening was an
other extraordinary The audience be
gan to pour into lhe Hall os soon as it was
opened, at in the evening. Even st that
early hour hundreds of persons had assembled
in front of the Hall as outside spectators.
The f-act is, the enthusiasm *d>e hts created

period since her visit, and we believe she has
only to announce that other concerts will be
given in this city by her to insure overflowing
houses.
The Fossil remains of some largo animal,
unknown in these days, have been lately dis
covered by Mr. William Wilson, on the banks
of the Arkansas river, near lhe mouth of Bkm
Bayou. It appears to be the head or'some
monster auimal that has resided in or near lhe
Arkansas river, having a very large head, a
pnrt of lhe he.id and teeth still retaining their
original appearance, and the other part of lhe
head having petritied, bearing the resemblance
ot eoft sandstone. The teeth seem to indicate
that the annual is carnivorous, although none

New Steamer Calhoun.—This new atca
iner arrived here Monday night in sixty-six and
a half hours from New York.
The Calhoun is the consort of the Gordon,
of which she is the exact counterpart, and as
we have already given a minute description of
her. it is unnecessary to repeat it here. The
C. belongs to Messrs. Brooks &• Barden's line
of steamers, which are to run outside between
this city and Charleston. She is a splendid
boat, reflecting great credit upon the enter
prise of her worthy owners and builders. She
came out in charge of Capt. Barden, who, we
understand, is to command her. This the pub

courteous and reliable officer on the whole

Rorrerv —On Sunday evening last a
young man by the name of \y m . p. Purdy,
who was in the employ of Lewis Lawshe as a
tailor, opened the safe of Mr. Lawshe,
j weller of ibis citv, and took out watches
jewelry, &c., to the value of between four
teen and fifteen hundred dollars and lelt. He ■
whucaught next day at Lithonia by Mr. E. D.
Wood who, having heard of the robbery, bus- f
picioned him lor the thief, and biought him to
thisci'.y in the evening He was brought be
lore Esqrs. Boel and Welch, and committed
to jail in default of $3,500 bail had also
taken betw .en twenty and thirty dollars, the
greater portion of which, with the principal
part of the jewelry was recovered
Purdy had heen in the employ of Mr. I
Lawshe about three months, and was familiar j
with everything about the premises ; and hav
ing ascertained where the key of the safe was
deposited, was enabled to help himself without
difficulty. We are pleased to learn that lhe
amount of money and jewelery not recovered,
does not exceed some or thirty
dollars.
Upon the delivery ol Purdy in this citv, Mr.
Lawshe promptly paid to M-. Wood a reward
of one hundred dollars. We hope that an in
crease in his business may soon make up for
this loss. He deserves and ought to receive an
increased patronage — Atlanta Repub.
Arrival of the Alabama. —The steamship
Alabama, in running along the coast on Mon
day night, the weather being thick and dark at
the time, struck on the shoals off Hunting
Islands. She was got off after some delay,
leaking considerably, and will have to go into
the Dry Duck for ex urination but will not be
prevented leaving at her regular time on Sat
urday. She shows externally no marks of in
jury, but a weaker ship would not have fared
so well. Her cargo in the lower hold is some
what damaged.— Sav. Rep.
M. Foucacl’s Experiment.—The Penn
sylvanian, of Philadelphia, quotes, from the
Pniny Cyclop®dia, (vol 15, cd- 1839.) an 1 the
works of one Leonard Digges, published in
1594. to prove that the experiment (M Fou
canid’s) which has recently excite! so much at
tention as illustrating lhe earth’s rotation, is by
no means a new one, but that it has been
known and practically tested years ago.
Religious Revival —The revival !o which
we alluded in our last is still going on without
abatement. The Methodist Church has been
crowded day and night up to the present wri
ting, and some two hundred and upwards have
confessed conversion. Amongst lhe other de
nominations and in other churches there is a
warmth ami zeal which promises to be followed
by lively times In short, it seems to boa sea
son of general inquiry and a day when the
power of the Most High is moving among his
creatures below. The end of the good work
is not yet.—Coriimftuj Enquirtr, 17*4 inst.
Manufacturing Distress.—All eflbrw to
avert utter ruin, by holding onto goods, or by
stopping mills, seems in many quarters to have
ceased and goods are selling off at prices
which are every week lessening, although in
the outset much below the coat of production.
Hope seems to have departed from many, and
utter desperation taken its place. Still P is
probable the lo west depth has now been reach
ed, and those who «re ab’e to sustain them
selves through tho crisis will survive, though it
will take several prosper ’us years to repair
damages in very many of the companies

Decrease of Slavery in Dr la ware
The report ofthe Delaware Anti-Slavery So
ciety shows that in 1790, when the first census
was taken, the number of slaves in the State
was about 9,000 ; a sixth part of lhe people.
Now, there a e but little over 2,000, not more
than one-fortieth ot the people. Tho number
of slaves decreases fa-ter in Nawcestle county
than any other. In the last ten years the de
crease in tint county has been 25 per cent.
Look out roR Rogues.—From what we can
learn, there must he in the country a regularly
organized band of horse thieves. These fel
lows are growing bold, and ought to be well
watched. On Sunday night, the B.h imt.,
they stole the horse, saddle and bridle, of Na
than Bass, Esq., from tho place where they
wnre left, near the Methodist Church. On
Thursday night (he horse returned to lhe sta
ble ofhis owner with an entirely different sad
dle and bridle. From this circumstance it is
evident either that the thief has confederates
in the vicinity, or the the horse has been trad
ed. When taken the horse had on a black
quilted saddle of Mexican or Spanish pattern,
with horn. The one with which he returned
was a light colored -addle, <rrii»»*ry v»yle -
with quilted seat and good quality. We pub
lish these facts under the hope that a know
ledge of them may lead to the detection ofthe
thief— Jour frMes.

From Havana— l nprisonment of a Yjuth.—
On or about the first of this month, during a
public declama’ion at the University of
Havana, a youth sixteen years of age, eon
of Sr. don Cirilo Ponce, a wealthy citizen of
Cuba, was arrested and imprisoned lor tho
following offence: Back of tho staging erec
’.ed for tho declamers, was a black board, on
which was written, while the curtain was yet
down, in large letters with chalk. “Viva
Narcisso Lopez, y Mueran los Realistas”—
Live Narcisso Lopez, and Daalh to the
Royalists.” The audience being assembled,
and tho Captain General and suite having
arrived, the curtain was raised for the decla
tners to begin their speeches. On noticing
the writing on the board, the Captain General
immediately ordered the entrances to the
building to be guarded, and summoned a*l
the students to appear before h m, in order
to find out which of ’.hem was the offender.
Young Ponce stepped forwa r d and answered
wnh firmness, “1 am the one who wrote it.”
Tho Captain General asked him why he did
it. He answered, “I wrote no more than
what I wish to come to pass. ’ He was or
dered to prison, and the public are at a loss
to know what will be done with one so young
for his indiscretion.—S«w. Rep.

COTTON. —At the close of our last weekly re
port the market was very s'eady, with a fair detnant
and firm prices. In this condition it continuec
throughout Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. On Munday the news by the Arctic wai
received, which checked the demand, and operations
were almost entirely suspended. To day, however
there has been rather more demand, but the pricei
of Saturday for the better descriptions are not bus
taine I by an | to |c., while the lower grades are al
most entirely neglected and are relatively much low
er for all classes below Good Middling. The market
to day was in rather an unsettled state, and pricei
somewhat irregular, though wo could not bear of a
sale of Fair above 9 cents, at which rate we quote it;
though it is proper to remark that very little could
be bought at that price.
Receipts up to latest dates.

REMARKS.—The general business of the week
has been limited, perhaps smaller than any previoui
week of the'season. The operations are almost ex
clusively confined to small country orders.
GROCERIES.—The same remark will apply tc
the Grocery as well as to the general business. The
stocks in this department are ample, and the few
transactions are made at prices within the range o
our quotations, ,to which we would refer,
BACON.—The demand for Bacon'continues good,
and our quotations are fully sustained.
CORN. —The transactions in Corn arc not large
but as the stock is small and the prospect of the grow
ing crop anything but fl ittering, prices ate firm.
WHEAT. —Our millers continue to purchase freelj
a-l that arrives at Si to $1.25 ,por bushel, according
to quality.
EXCHANGE. —Checks on the North are abun
dant at j per cent, premium.
FREIGHTS. —The river continues navigable, and
freights are unchanged. For Cotton to Savannah
and Charleston 50 cents] per bale.
Liverpool Market.
LIVERPOOL, June 5 State of Trade.—
Business remains rather dull, but appearances seem
still to promise improved activity, especially in Cot.

Money Market. — Money remains abundant.
Discounts in London for short Bi'ls are obtained at
3} pei cent. Consols 97J to 98 ?
Cotton Market.— A fair amount of business has
been done during the week. Cotton has been freely
ottered : but the demand having been good, especial
ly yesterday and to-day, prices are sustained in
common descriptions ; while the better sorts, beiag
scarce, and wanted for export, have slightly hardened.
The market to-da* is steady. Sates 8000 bales.

Liverpool. June 6th, 1851.—We have had a good
business in Cotton throughout the week, & though the
quantity ottering has been tally equal to the demand,
with occasional forced sales at lower prices, still the
general tcnc of the market has been healthy and the
quotations of last week are repeated for the middling
and I etter descriptions, while inferior and red cot
ton has been almost nnsaleab’e. Orleans, fair 6jd.,

The sales for the week reach 45,230 bales, specu
lators taking 4,630 and expor’s 5730 bales.
The stock of cotton in this port is estimated at
646,000 bales, of which 465,000 are American,
ngainst a total slock of 546,000 bales at this period
of last year, of which 369,010 were American.

HAVRE, June 5. —I wrote you on the 3d evening
by the Humboldt (a.) Since then, the intelligence
received by the Europa (3d,) to 21st ult., produced a
very I ad effect in our Cotton market, and the decline
to-day is fully 3f. N-‘w Orleans tres erdinairea is
offered at 77f., aod Upland at 74f. Yesterday the
sales were 600 bales, and to-day they amount to 500,
the whole for home use. There is no doubt that pri
ces will go lower, importers and speculators b«ing
anxious sellers. The opinion of spinners is that Cot
ton will bccoue as cheap as it was in the year 1848.

Ac b«r residence, in Jefferson county, of a Pulmo
nary disease, on Monday, the 16tb inat,, Mrs. M.
Cklkstia Cabswell, wi:e of Ed ward R. Carswell,
Esq., in the 34th year of her age,
It is very rare that friendship is called upon to
mourn the loss of one of so many excellencies end so
few faults of character. Having a mind naturally
clear, atrong, and well balanced, she was well capa
citated for entertaining just and comprehensive viewa
of duty. To this was added a purity of heart and
an integrity of purpose which sought to know, and
faithfully perform, every obligation appertaining tc
her position in life.
With a character thus pure, justandfirm. it was
easy; indeed, it seemed almost natural fxr her to be
a Christian —for in all respects the genius of her na
ture seemed to aasirnilate to the spirit of the Chris
tian system. She became, therefore, at the early
age of 16, a member of the Methodist Chureh, and
evidenced, in all the relations of life as wife, mother,
rnistrets, neighbor and friend, that she was, in “spirit
and in truth,” a faithful follower of the bleaa.d Re
deemer. As she had lived, so she died, peaceful,
harpy, and confident of the future. With no memo
ry of the past to awaken a pang, but with tl e light of
her owr pure and pious example, throwing forwerd
its benignant rays to illume her way in the valley
and shadow of death, she calmb resigned herself to
the gn ve and to a happy immortality. May the re
membrance of her virtues rest as a mantle upon the
memory of her fimily and friends, inspiring the no
ble emulation to imitate her example.
At Indian Springs, Hutts county, on the morning
of the 7th instant, Mrs. Vaunda, wife of Dr. Hsji
ht Bsambam, of Eatonton, Putnam county.
