feature of onr political ereetd, which we ere proad
to maintain befbre the world; as a great moral ele
ment in s form of govammaat, springing from, and
upheld by the popular will; and we aontrsat it with
the creed and practice of fbderaliam, under what
ever nemo or form, which seeks to palsy the will of
the constituent, and which conceives no imposture
too monttrous for the popular credulity.
Ruoh*d, thrrrfor*, That entertaining these

Iluohid, That we are deßdedly opposed to ta

by which he is enabled, nndsrreatrietitns and res
ponsibilities, amply Sufficient t# guard the public
interest, te suspend the passage as a bill wliobo ’

Rrtohrd, That in the rooont development of thin l
grand political truth of the sovereignty of tho poo
plo anil their capacity and power of eolf govern
ment, whioh ia prostrating thronos and erecting 1
republic* on the ruin* of despotism in the old '
world, we feel that a high and sacred duty is do- i
volved, with inoreased rosponaibility upon the
democratic party of thi*> aountry, a* tho gmrty of ,
the ptoplt to sustain and advance among us con
stitutional liberty, equality, and frotornity, by con- .
tinning to resist all monoplies and exclusive legis

the many, and by a vigilant and cenitiuit adher

constitution whioh are broad enough and strong i
enough to enibraco and aphold tho Dnion a* it was, |
the Union n« it. ia, and th* Union at it shall bo in

IletolctJ, That tho fruita of tho groat political
triumph of 1344, which elooted James K. Folk and
George M. Dalbia President and Vico President of
the United States, have fulfilled the hopes of the
Democracy of the Union, in dot'eating tha declared
purpose# of their opponents to create a National
Bank, in preventing tho corrupt and unoonatitu?
tioiml distribution of the land proceed* from tho
common treasury of the Union, for local purposes,
Sn protecting the currency and tho labor of the
couutrv from ruinous fluctuations, and guardingtho
money of the peoplo stir the use of the people by
tile establishment of the Constitutional Treasury ;
in the noble inipulae given to Free Trade, by the
repeal of the Tariff of 1842, and the creation of
tho more equal honest and productive Tariff of
1848 ; ami that in our opinion, it would be a fatal
error to weaken the band* of political organization
by whioh these groat reform havo been acniovod,—
and risk thorn in the hand* es thoir own adversa
ries, witli whatovor dolusive appeals thoy may aoli
«it our surrender of that vigilauae, which is the

Union Meeting in Taliaferro.
Ckawfoiuivillb, April 8,1832.
A portion of tho Constitutional Union party of
Ta’iaforro oounty, having mot this day in tho Court
llouso, In pursuance of previous notice, for the
purpose of solecting dolcgntcs to tho Millc jgovillo
Convention. On motion of Jno. L.' Bird, Esq.,
Jno. J. Mooro was called to tho Chair; and on
raotio* of Wm. 11. Wilder, Esq., Josinli Tilley was
requested to act ns Secretary.
When Felix C. Moore, Esq., moved that a com
ssittoo of fivo he appointed by tho Chair to report
the names of three suitable porsotis to represent
this county in said Convention. This motion was

reported the names of Jno. L. Bird, Esq., Win. 11.
Wilder nnd Geo. L. Bird, with tho recommendation
that they havo the power to fill any vacancy that
may occur in their number.
On motion of Norman A. Belk, tho report of the
committee was agreed to.
Jno. L. Bird, Esq., then offered the following
resolution:
Rmloed , Tlint while we deem it unnecessary to
give nnv instructions to onr delegates, yet wo avail
ourselves of this occasion to oxpress our decided
opinion against tiie propriety or expediency of tiie
Miilcdgovillo Convention, sending delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, or to any other National
Convention, which is not called npon tiie princi
ples of tho Constitutional Union organization of this
State.
, In offering this resolution, Mr. Bird accompanied
it with some pointed and eloquent remarks. Ho
said tho Constitutional Union party of this State
was formed upon tiie basis of making tho late
Compromise measures of Congress a settlement* of
the slavery question in prinoiple and substance—
that the principles of this party in our State have
boon successful and triumphant. But they hare
not yet been adopted by either as the two great
parties of the eountry; and it wc expect them to
be adopted by either cf these parties, we must
never co-operate or affiliate with either of them
until they are thus adopted.
After the remarks of Mr. Bird, tho question was
put upon the adoption of his resolution, and it waa
unanimously earned.
Th* lion. A. 11. Stephens being present, was
then called upon to address the meeting. This he
did in his usual style and vein, in aspeacli of about
half an hour’s length. He expressed his hearty
approval of the resolution just adopted. He re
viewed the principles and objects of th# Constitu
tional Union party, and also the eharseter and ob
jects of tiie Baltimore Convention. Th# organiza
tions of thee* parties were totally ditlerent. Apart
from the question of consistency, how can the Con
stitutional Union part* expect that thair delegates
would be admitted at Baltimore! What credentials
will they present! He alluded to th* fact that Mr.
Rantoul, of Massachusetts, who volunteered hi*
services a* a lawyer in the trial of the fugitive slave
Simma last year, in Boston, is slreadv elected a
member of that Convention. All recollected the
excitement that that case produced in Georgia at
the time. In that ease Mr. Kantoul denounced the
Fugitive Slave Ijiw a* unconstitutional, and did
his' utmost to prevent its execution ; these senti
ments ii* still holds and maintains.
lint Mr. Kantoul was no worse than a great many
other delegates to the same Convention. Ten of
the delegates from New York alone, said Mr. S.,
were open Free-Soilera, Barn-Burners and Van
Buren men in 1848, and he was utterlv opposed to
any party affiliation or association w ith suck men.
Some entertain th* belief that these men will be
driven out by th* majerity in that Convention. If
so, said Mr’ S., it will b» time enough for us to
consider the propriety of. Slid supporting their
nominee. He alluded’to the Fable of th* eat in the
meal tub. Ile said the Baltimore Convention might
do right, but then again it might'nt. He conclu
ded by urgiug tho importance of adhering to their
principles.
The speech wm received with marked approba
tion nnd applause.
Upon motion of Wm. H. Wilder, it was resolved
Uiat the proceedings of this meeting be published
in tho Chronicle & Sentinel, and the meeting then
adjourned. Joax J. Moore, Ch’rnn.

now an acre of coal land is worth SIB,OOO.
Manv set down a higher figure. In the South
Basra,"(that is, from the Sharp Mountain to the
Mine Hill,) where we have all the veins, namely:
thirteen, including red and white ash the whole
thickness of the coal is ninety feet. Allowing one
half of this for fault and waste in mining, we have
45 feet or fifteen yards in thickness, of merchanta
ble coal. There being 48,'>00 square yards to the
acre, we have, bv multiplying this number by the
thickness, 72.000 square yards or tens of coal per
acre which, at a rent of 25 cents per ton, brings
1? 000. This is a fair estimate of the real varae ot
an’acre of our coal land, without exaggeration cr
embellishment. It is not strange therefore that our
lands have, and are still, increasing so largely m
value. In England, coal lands not possessing near
the intrinsic value of obis sell at from one to two
thousand pounds sterling per acre.

Mr. Duller objected to the principles of the bill.
The lands were a fruitful source of revenue to the
Government, and served as a great balance wheel
in trade. The power to givo them away was not
found in tlie Constitution, and such a scheme is
not chimerical and unjust.
Mr. Churchill was in favor ofthe bill, and lie
could not see how its opponent ; could be consist
ent while they admitted that tho lands belonged to
the people and were unwilling to let the people
have them. The bill turnislies homes to tho liome
"lcss, and through its benign provisions the privi
leges of education would be extended to all. To
grant the public lands to the States and companies
for railroad purposes was unconstitutional, partial
and unjust. It favored tho few at expense of flic
many, ivliiletho scheme under discussion extouded
to all countrymen al ko its salutary privileges.
Mr. Grow spoke in favor of the bill, and con
tended that the Government had no more power
to withhold the public domain from the people
than it hadto withhold any natural giftof providence
Lauded monopolies were a curse to any country.
England and Ireland nad been weighed dowu by
this curse, and we should guard against a similar
catastrophe. To give tho lands to tlie people
would strengthen every department of our gov
ernment. It would render us irresistible in war
and highly prosperous in peace.
Mr. Shelton spoke at length in favor of tlie bill.
Tho revenues of the government would bo increas
ed by tho adoption ofthe bill in question, as tho
resources of tho oountrv would thereby be largely
developed.
It would diminish crime in our largo cities ; it
would furnish employment to tlie tons of thous
ands now destitute and houseless, wlio left to
themselves, will inevitably plunge into the lowest
sinks of iniquity and misery.
On motion tho House adjourned.

what object the naval expedition has recently been

Mr. B. said that if this expedition was really sent

Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, said as this is a test
bill, there being other applications of a similar dis
cretion of bills before the House, he shonld move
that it be put upon its passage, that the sentiment
of members on the subject might be ascertained.
Mr. Evans, #f Mi, was opposed to making the

In reply to a qeetion from Mr. Fowler, of Mas*.,
whether Mr. Johnson would vote in fbvor of aimilar

Mr. Borland modified the resolution, so as to cell
for the information if not incompatible with the

Mr. Borland replied, stating that he never heard

The administration by ita friends, to avoid the re
sponsibility of ita largo expenditures, deoiarsd that
no money was expended except was appropriated

trol of the puree, wae alone responsible. It was
proper that Congress, who would hereafter be call

know beforehand what that object was.
Mr. Gwin opposed the resolution. Ho urged the
many reasons why the expedition to Japan should
be ordered, and argued that a disclosure of its ob
ject would defeat them.
Mr. Shields was in favor of the expedition.
There were some sixty Japanese now in California

Mr. Halo opposed tho resolution.

Mr. Hunter, from tho committee on publio buil
dings, to whom was referred tbs resolution direct
ing an inquiry and examination as to the sufficiency
of the foundations of tho capitol axtension, Ac.,
made a report. In tha report the committee say,
that in order to obtain the beat inforrsation on the
subject the committee addressed letters to Gene
ral Totten audCol. Abert requesting them to detail
each two competent officers for the parpose of ma
king such an examination as was contemplated by
the Senate. Genernl Totton detailed Captain T.
A. Smith, and Brevet Lt. Col. Mason, oftha Engi

ney and Captain J. J. Lee, of the Topographical
Engineers.
A copy of the resolution of the Senate was placed
in the hands of tho officers of each corps, with a
request thr.t they would examine tlie work carefully
and report the result. The investigation's the
committee believe, was made with great ears by
these officers, aud the results were reported se
parately by tho engineers of tlie two oerps.
These reports, (continues, tho report,) leave ne
doubt on the minus of the committee as to the suf
ficiency ofthe foundations, and the general good
character of the work. The addition of hvdraulie
cement tothe mortar, i 3 a matter which had already
attracted the attention of tho architect, who has
taken measures to provide for it.
After a consideration ofthe whole subject, ycur
committee see no cause for a further suspension of
tlie work, but many reasons for its immediate pro
secution. The favorable season for eueh work has
already commenced, and a number of workmen
who were engaged in the building as long as the
appropriation lasted, are still here without employ
ment. If the work is to go on, it should be recom
menced at once, not only to secure as mueh as
possible oftho working season, but to save the ex
pense and prevent the suffering which would arise
from tho dispersion ofthe workmen now here, and
tlie collection of others, or perhaps of these tnein
sclves from distant cities.
Mr. Hunter, from the same committee, reported
back the joint resolution providing for a continua
tion of the work on the Capitol, with * recommen
dation that tlie amendment made by the House
increasing the appropriation to §500,000, be eon
curled in. He urged tho propriety of action on it
to-day.

the several species of coal now used by tho navy,
together with the cost perton of the several kinds
delivered at the different ports in the Chinese seas;
and how and at what price the different kinds of
coal are now furnished for the use of the N»vv.
Mr. Borland moved that the resolution offered
by him, calling upon tlie President to communicate
to the Senate the object of the naval expedition to
the coast of Japan, be taken up. But on motion
of Mr. Walker, that and all othor subjects were
postponed, and a bill granting preemption rights
to certain settlers on tlie Menomini purchase, was
taken up, and was ordered to bo ongrossed for a
third reading.
The private calendar was then taken up, and a

The steamship Louisiana, Capt. lawless, arriv

By the arrival of the IxtuisiaiMt we learn that
the new steamship Independence, Cap». Stod
dard. was totally lost in attempting to cross Mat
agorda bar, on the morning or the 25th ult. She
•truck and broached to in the breakers, when .-ho
soon became unmanageable. The sails were then
set, and the engine kept working to force tho ship
over, but all to no purpose.
Tho entire cargo, consisting of assorted mer
efeandisa amounting to about $17,400. was then
thrown overboard, but tho ship still worked to
the north of the bur, and brought np on thereof,
where she bilged on the 29tli. at J A. M., after

ceased to perform only when the fires were put
out by the water, tho ship soon broko in two and
keeled off shore. The mainmast and 6moke stack
ware then cut away to keep tho ship from keeling,
so that tha sea could not break over her deck.
On the evening of the 27th ult. the officers of the
Louisiana, with Capt. Here, of tho propeller Ray

failed. On the morning of the 23th they succeed
ed in reaching her with their boats, and in ten

one hundred and fifty-nine persons. During the
whole of the 29th the sea broke completely over her
When the Louisiana left the scone of disaster, on
tha evening of tho 3"th ult.. tha Independence had

Tho following are the names of those who were
lost on tho 25th by tho swamping of one of the
ship’s boats in attempting to leave tho wreck: Mrs.
Minott and three ohildron, Mrs. Lieut. Jones, Mr.
Hovey, ohief mate. The mate was downod in try
ing to save Mrs. Jones.
The Louisiana passed, thirty miles to the west
ward of the Southwest Pass, a schooner with main
mast gone.
By this arrival we have received Galveston pa

terior. •
The ship Milan eamo near being lost on Galves

Account of the Loss of the Independence.
Wo have received from a passenger the follow
ing report of the loss of tho steamship Indepen
dence, Charles Stoddard, commander, from Galves
ton for Matagovda Bay:
The Independence left Galveston on tho 85th
inst. at 2.20 A. M., wind southwest, soa rough. At
* P. M. of same night arrived off Pass Cavallo bar
and lay to all night. On the 26th, at 7 A. M., at
tempted to cross the bar ami tho ship grounded,
there being at the time a heavy soa running. Set
all sail and worked the engine’to get the ship over
the bar. At 12 M. commenced throwing overboard
tho cargo, in the hope of forcing the ship over.
At 2 P. M. a sea boarded ns arid destroyed three
boats. At 4P. M. the mate, with tho onlv boat re
maining, attempted to land with a portion of the
lady passengers. In doing this the boat was cap
sised, and Mrs. Minot, with three children, Mrs.
Jones, wife of Lieut. Jones, and Mr. llovey, tho
mats, perished in the surf. The colors were then
set at half-mast and signal guns fired for assistance
from the shore. Capt Nichols, tho pilot, was on
board the ship, and Capt. Cummings lying inside
with the pilot boat ready to render wlint assistance
he oeuld, out »he sea was too rough for their small
boats. Throughout the night signal guns were
fired, and although before dark twolvo bonts could
be distinctly seen inside pioking up goods thrown
over from the ship, none of them attempted to
«mt to onr assistance. This night was one of th*
most distressing anxiety to all on board. At 7
the propeller J. W. Rayburn, Capt. Kerr, enmo
down an i attempted to run a line to us, without
success; we then succeeded in transporting fivo
ladies and three ohildren, which, with two landed
before not not named, made in all nine persons
placed in safety on board the propeller and six
drownod. At 12 M. the sea increased. Capt. Kerr
did not return to the ship, but proceeded to Do
sro’s Point, for th# purpose of sending word to the
Louisiana, at Indiannla, onr only hope being in
receiving assistance from Capt. Lawless, who un
fortunately was ignorant of our perilous situation,
and did not hear of it until 8 f. M. on the 27th, at
whieh time he was preparing to start with his ship
for Now Orleans. At 4 P.M. the smoke from her
chimneys appeared in sight and carried joy and
hope to the wretched beings onboard the wreck.
She anchored off Saluria at SP. M. Immediately
three boats were seen approaching us from her,
and proved to be Capt. Lawless, in command of
She starbord lifo-boat of tha Louisiana. Mr. Di
mend, the mate, in command of the port life-boat,
and Mr. Foster, the 2d mate, in chargo of tho star
board quarter boat. The other boat was left bv
th* ship in reserve. In Capt. Lawless’* boat was
Capt. Kerr and Mr. Thayer, a passenger on board
th# Louisiana from New Orleans, who nobly vol
unteered hie aervioea. The life-boat in command
of the mate, at SP. M. capsized in the breakers a
quarter of a mile to leeward es the ship, and just as
Capt. Lawless with his boat entered the breakers.
The life-boat of the mate was seen to roll OTer
and ever with the men clinging to her and the oars.
When this boat was last seen she was outside the
breakers. Then night closod in after this end speo
tacle, and with a gloomy veil over our fate.
The worst blow of all waa in wiltnessmg the
brave fellows from the Louisiana perish, as wo
thought, in the surf; but, thank God! it was
otherwise ordered. Signal firaa were kept up
throughout the night; at 13, midnight, Capt. Law
less sucsecded in finding his mate and crow, who
had been washed on shore. Their beat was hauled
up on tbs beach, and tho whole crew proceeded in
one boat t» the Louisiana. In the meantime tho
Rayburn had got under w:igh and reached a safe
anchorage. At 3 A M., on tho 33th. tho wreck
broke in two; at 4A. M. commenced firing signal
guns; at daylight the soa was very-rough, and
great fears were entertained that those on board
must perish, as the wreck would soon go to pieces;
at IA. M. the Rayburn came down and anchored
inside tha breakers. Capt. Kerr coincided with
Capt. Lawless that he (Capt L.) should command
the disembarknaont, as there could bo but one
head. Mr. Dimond, mate of tho Louisiana, was
then dcsjwtehed o* board tho wreck, with orders
from Capt. Lawloss to take command there; to
land tho passengera, and the moment his orders
were disobeyed to leave the ship. He succeeded
in reaching the wreck about T A. M., on the 28th,
and reported to tKo captain of the wreck his or
ders ; they were complied with, and Mr. Di
momi then remained on the wreck, and despatch
ed his boat with eight souls—all of whom reached
the Rayburn in safety. She was anchored inside
the breakers, to rocoivo thoao that might be saved.
The sea at this time waa much rougher than it had
been eince wo had boon ashore.
Capt. Lawless despatched written orders from
the Rayburn, by nearly every boat, to his mate,
Mr. Dimond, with instruction# how to proceed;
and to the admirable discipline and firmness ob
served by these two officers may bo attributed tho
safety of tho 159 souls landod by tho Louisiana’s
boats. Capt. Lawless furnishes mo with tho names
of thoso who nobly acted in rendering such valua
ble and effectual sorvice. Strange to say, only two
of the crew of tho Independence rondcrod any aid
in the boats. Capt. Lawless speaks in the highest
terms of Capt. Kerr, of tho Rayburn; Capt. Cum
mings, Capt. Nfcliois, and Capt. Hill, pilots at Pass
Cavallo; and Mr. Deoro, of of Decro’s Point; also a
man named George, belonging to the pilot boat.
The crow of tho Louisiana hung out to tho last
moment. One of her boats mado nine trips to the
wreck. One of tho lifeboats was always kept in
reserve in tho event of any of tho others being
swamped.
This is the end of tho |Tndepondouce, now, with
her cargo, a complete wreck.
Had it not been for the prompt assistance from
tho Louisiana, nearly all on board must have per
ished, as tho sea was on the following day much
worse.
In conclusion, I will only say that I trust some
propor notice will bo taken of the effective services
rendered by the bravo fellows of tho Louisiana,
who risked their lives and labored without cessa
tion until all were removed from tho wreck to a
place of safety. A Passbnoeb.
From Sew Mexico.
Wo received yesterday a file of the Santa Fe
Gazetto to February 28th.
Great oxcitoment had been caused in Santa Fe
by the exhibition of some specimens of gold said
to have been found within two miles of town.
There was no farther news from the Gila expedi
tions but the spirit If gold hunting was alive in
every part of the Territory.
The Apaches were committing many depreda
tions. There was a rumor that thev had murdered
Mr. Skillman, tho mail contractor, hut it was evi
dently false, as we have had news of his safe arri
val at San Antonio.
The Gazette gives tho following particulars of a
terrible case of murder and lynch law.
On or about the first of this month a German
merchant, named Max Wetzer, trading and buying
in Bolin, in the county of Socorro, waa most cruel
ly and brutally murdered by some of the Mexicans
at that place. It seema that they came to his store
in the night and aroused him upon pretonce of
wishing to purchase soma articles. lie admitted
them, and while he was getting the articles which
they said they wanted, he received a blow, which
etunned him. They then beat and mangled him
in a most shocking manner, and left him, as they
supposed, dead. The poor man was found the
the next morning stili alive and he lived near thirty
six hours after the aesault. The murderers robbed
him of about six hundred dollars and some goods,
but the principal part of his goods were not dis
turbed. As soon as the facte were known here, Mr.
Ellis went down, end as deputy mnrshal, arrested
two mon, against both of whom, wo understand,
there was e clear testimony of being engaged in
the raurder, and they were committed to jail. We
now learn that some few days eince five men went
te the jail took out the prisoners, and carrying
them about two mile* below town, nung them in a
grove, where they were' found dead the next day.
We have not heard who these five persons were
or where they eame from.
Capt. Pope baa been actively employed in sur
veying anaexploringa new road from’Fort Union
te fort Leavenworth, aid has succeeded in find
ing one which possesses maay advantages over
the old beaten tracks, either by Bent's Fort or tho
Cimerone, and we suppose Capt Pope’s new
route will be the one almost entirely used
hereafter both by the Government and merchant
train*.
The Gaeette gives the following additional de
tails of Indian depredations :
We have almost daily reports of the inroads and
depredations committed by the Indians in the Kio
Abajo and throughout the Southern portion of the
territory ; from what we can learn, we believe tho
reeent eutrages have been committed by the
Apaches of the Gila and the Mescaleros ; we learn
Shat on or about the 2*th of th* past month a party
of eoldier* 14 in number were attacked on the Jor
nada del Muert* at the same place where our la
mented fellow-citizen, Bent, met with hi* death and
feur of their nnmber were killed, and several more
weunded, and that their wagon and mules were
take! from them. ‘ It was said that tho fight lasted
some time, eld that only one of the soldiers es
caped without a wound. A frill account of all the
particulars has not as yet reached us.
We also leam that within threo or four day* past
the Indiana eame into Bernalillo county, in the
very centre of the population of the Territory, and
drove off near four hundred head of stock from
Albuquerque, Atrisoo, and Padillas, the principal
sufferers from this forav tmro the Armijos, Chaves,
and Hnble. As soon aa'tho troops at Los Lunes were
informed of it they were instantly in pursuit, but
after following some distance were compelled to
return on aeeouit of their horses not being able to
keep up the march ; we learn that the alacrity and
promntness es the officer would certainly have so
euredthe capture of the Indian*, if bis horse* had
not been so miserably poor as to be almost nse-
Tbat Col. Sumner ha* made for the most a very
jndieious and proper distribution of his troops in
the territory, we suppose no one can deny, and
we mink his plan of keeping parties on the road
travelling through the moat dangerous highways
of the Territory is most commendable and proper,
but we cannot’sav that the parsimonious and stint
ing economy of the Government which requires
dragoons to operate with starved horses against
well mounted Indians, exhibits either good judg
ment ora real desire to protect the lives and prop
erty of the inhabitants of the Territory.

England.— The proceedings in Parliament wore
of no great moment, with the exception of tho ex
planation tducliing tho renowal of the corn law
given by the Premier in tiie House of Lords, and
by Mr. DTsracli, in the House of Commons.
On tho 15th inst., Lord Derby said, that tho
question at issue, between tho Frco Traders and
Protectionists would be decided at tiie ensuing gen
eral election. Ho topudiatedd a factions oppposi
tion, and declared ho had no desire to return to tho
law of 1346, nor a wish to recur to tho law of 1842.
He castigated the proceedings of the anti-corn law
league—implored their lordships to apply them
selves, not to the renewal of free trade, but to such
modifications of the system ns would mitigate tho
blow inflicted on the agricultural portion of tho
community, and alleviate the injustice from which
they suffered. Ho expressed tho opinion, that in
regard to those who had suffered from the changes
msdo, and bping left without a corresponding al
teration in the expenditures thrown upon them—
the moderate imposition of a duty producing a
large revenue, thereby enabling other taxation to
be taken off, w th hardly an appreciable effect on
the food of the people, would be a most just, a
most economical, and f>r tho country a most ad
vantageous mode of allowing relief. Lord Derby
concluded by declaring his determination not to
flinch from performing his duty on tho subject, if
tho sense of tho country supported his, opinions.
But he would not overstrain the influcuco which
belonged to Government, nor would lie abuso the
high position in which his Sovereign laid placed
him, and by a mere majority force upon the coun
try q measure against which a great portion ol'the
country had expressed an opinion.
Lord Grey, Clanricardc, and Beaumont consid
ered the Premier's statement as unsatisfactory,
but Earl Powers considered that an attempt had
been mado to place Lord Derby in tho position of
first bidder at an auction.
In the House of Commons, Mr. D’lsraeli, in an
swer to an interpellation, from Mr. Viiukbs re
specting the principles aud policy upon which the
government intended to regulate tho foreign com
merce ofthe United Kingdom, and especially that
branch which was engaged in tlie supply of corn,
made n statement similar to that of Lord' Derby,
and announced that tho government was deter
mined to prosecute the following measures during
the existing session, viz: —Tlie tit. Albans disfran
chisement bill, the Chancery reform bill, and tho
Military bill.
Lord John Bussell and Sir James Graham de

LIVERPOOL, March 20.—Cottou was in fair demand at
Liverpool, hut without much animation. In the early part
of the week preceding the Canada’s departure, prices re
ceded full one sixteenth of a penny lb. Brown aud
Shipley’s Circular, however, says under date of Liverpool
March 19th : —“Since the arrival of tho Baltic, with advices
of an advance in the New Orleans market, prices have
rallied. The sales to-day reached 8,000 bales, with a steady
market, at the quotations of the previous week.” Other
circulars report the sales on Friday at 10,000 bales, inclu
ding 3,000 to speculators and exporters. The sales of the
week foot up 44,800 bales, of which the trade took 80,000

New Orleans 6 l-16th.
The Havre Cotton market at the last dates, and the
current prices of the previous week, were barely sustained.

State of Trade in Ih* Manufacturing District#. —
There is a fair degree of activity in the Cotton inanfnetn
ring districts. The manufacturers arc full employed at pro
fitable prices.
Metals. —lron is unchanged. Railway bars are in dcinnnd
and are rather higher. Scotch pig, is dull, And prices are
rather easier. Tin slow sales. Copper ami Tin un
changed. There is a Letter demaud for lead, at higher
rates.
Monetary AJJUirs. —Cosh continues very abundant, and
discounts are easy ; the market for English securities has
been rather buoyant—the expectations in Parliament being
satisfactory. Consols have run up to 9sjtf.
LIVERPOOL, March 20.—The business in Cotton has
been less extensive than for many weeks past. Still there
has been a fuir amount of business going forward, and the
daily sales have ranged from six thousand toeight thousand
bales. Spinners have purchased rather sparingly, having
previously supplied themselves somewhat freely. But for
export and speculation there has been a sternly demand
daily—the whole having been sufficient to prevent any
marked decline in price. The market, however, lus been
in a dull state all the week. The quantity on sale is not
large, but offered in such away as to tempt buyers. All tho
common Herts of American lmvc only been in moderate re
quest—the better qualities from 8d upwards, ha ve been in
most demand, but (more particularly us regards uplands)
have been sold freely, and therefore on terms in favor of
the buyer—the only exception being in good stapled New
Orleans, which are scarce. Wc, therefore, consider tliat
American descriptions, upon the average, are fully one
sixteenth of a penny lb lower than last week. Tho total
sales of the week have been 44,800 bales, of which 6,090
bales of American, 620 Bahia, <440 Egyptian, and 1,250 Su
rat, were takcq on speculation, and 8,910 hales of Ameri
can, 659 Pernambuco, 20 Bahia, 1,620 Surat, were taken by
exporters, leaving for the trade 80,000 bales.
The Baltic, from New York, arrived Friday morning,
bringing advices to the oth Inst., and quoting higher prices
for Cotton in pome of the Southern markets, in consequence 1
of which the demand lias been more active to-day, (Friday)
restoring prices to what they were at the close of lust week.
The sales were 8,000 bales, of which 2500 were on specula
tion.

OBITUARY.
Died, in Burke county, Georgia, on the Ist instant, fn the
34th year of his age, WILLIAM P. CLARK, Esq., formerly
of Utica, New York.
Mr. Clark was a gentlemen of retiring and modest de
portment, and most amiable disposition; combined with
great energy and hopefulness of character. The insidious
disease (consumption) to which be fell a victim, ha* long
been making its stealthy inroads upon his naturally delicate
constitution, but he battled wi*h it manfully to the last,
and when forced to relax Ids hold on life and all the joys of
his new and happy home, resigned himself with culmnea
and Berenity to the will of Him, “who doeth all things well.”
He was a tender and affectionate husband—a dutiful and
reverential goa, and a loyal and faithful friend. He left be
hind him (both in the lioruc of bi.s childhood and that of his
adoption) a large and deeply attached circle of friends, and
not one enemy. Peace to his memory ! and may the sweet
flowers of affection long bloom on hi* grave ! R.

The deceased came to his death, by a melancholy catas
trophe, originating from the running away of a horse,
which produced his death in a few moments, away from
home and kindred ; but it is a consolation to his surviving
friends to know, that though in a “ strange land,” he re
ceived tht kindest attentions which humauity could afford,
during the few moments ho lived. Tho deceased was a

useful life. The suddenness of his exit from life, precluded
the possibility of ascertaining his position with reference to
immortality.
