The Fisheries. Amoxo the Correspondence, which extend* from 1828 to the present time, that the President sub mitted to the Senate on Tuesday last, in reference to the Fishery question, is the following letter from Mr. Ciukito*, the British Minister, notify ing the President of the intention of his govern ment to protect its subjects in their right to the Fisheries: Washixotos, July S, 1852. Sir : I have been directed by her Majesty's Go vernment to bring to the knowledge of the Govern ment of the United States a measure which has been adopted by her Majesty's Government to pre vent a repetition of the complaints which have so frequently been made of the encroachment* of vee sels belonging to citizens of the United States and of Prance upon the fishing grounds reserved to» Great Britain by the convention of 1818. Urgent representation* having bcon made to her Majesty's Government by the Governor* of tfce British North Americau Provinocs in regard to these snoroachments, whereby the colonial fisheries ar# most seriously prejudiced, direction* have baen given by the Lords of her Majesty’* Ad miralty for stationing off Now Brunswick. Nova Bootia, Prince Edward’s Island, and in the Gulf of St. lawrcnce eneh a force of small sailing ves sels and steamers as shall be deemed snfficiot not prevent the infraction of the treaty. It is the command of the Queen that the officer* employed upon this service should bo specially enjoined to avoid all interference with the vessels of friendly Powers, except where they are in the act of viola ting the treaty; and on all occasion* to avoid giving ground of complaint hv the adoption of harsh or unnecessary proceeding* when circum stance* compel their arrest or seizure. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you the assurance* of my high consideration. Jobs F. Cbakftox. In oommunicating the above-mentioned correa pen lanoa, th* President informs the Senate that th* ateam-frigste Mississippi, Com.

The exhibition of the Junior Claaatook place Wednesday afternoon in the Chapel. A great variety of talent was exhibited by thia class. The religions and gay, the poetic and argumentative, tho satirical and agreeable were united to amuse nnd gratify the audience. Much good eense and excellent arrangement cbaracteriaed most of the compositions. Perhaps more of the poetic ele ment would have better suited the character of the Icinalo mind. We love “bard aense” even in ladies, but always with the hardness polished with a bright imagination. If your readers will not think me “taking too mnch liberty with the girls,’> I will tell you what impressions they and their compositions made on my mind. In the first place, they were “dressed very fine,” their com positions decorated sufficiently with ribbons and bowa, they were read loud enough to be heard generally, and only lacked a little “euaciter m modo" to make them perfect. Aa reading is the only style ladies will need for a long time yet, they ahouid avoid evory imitation of the declamatory. I wa* glad to *** thia so generally the case in this College, though occasionally it oould be heard. Instead of giving you the list of subjects, I pre fer to mention them by classification. “Imagina tion,” by Mis* A. of Wilke*, opened the exercises. It was a good bcginiDg, well suited to theoocasion. Tfce fanciful was followed up by “Life on the Ocean” in the true spirit of woman’s romance. Iler pictures were so much like childhood’s fancies; they were beautiful if not real. As to the reality any one msy prove on board a sail vessel. If she had aver been a* sick as some of us, ake would know that a berth at sea is no Elysium. Th* feeling deepened into the pathetic when Mias B. of Louisville, read “Holy aa Heaven iaa Mother’s tender Love.” Then we were brought to the climax of the aentamental when the apostro phe “Moon, what hast thou Seen,” ont us loose from all tangible objects, and sent us flying in fiiiry regions and fancy-worlds. Though delight ad with the excursion, we were glad when Mia* 0. of Jafferßon, greeted us in “The scenery of Korthom Georgia,” assuring us of familiar acenea and our own prond hills. Mental philosophy was discussed too, not in the memoritor rehersals of the class room, but in sensible and logical thought by Alisa M. Smith of Morgan, and Alisa E. E. Ogleaby of Florid*. Patriotism too, in the true spirit of seventy-eii, held its sway in the heart* nod mind* of the lsdie*, end had ita representa tives in Aliss Early of Morgan, and Miss Simmons of Hancock. The t heme of the last— “ The thought, Ilia spot that gave her birth, The faireit,loveliest spot on earth.” Occasionally wit and satire gleamed forth from flowers of rhetoric, like lightning flashes in bowers of roses. “The true Gentleman” presented us with seme rare pictures of eoit dieant gentility. The moustache and cigar gentry fared badly and yet justly. Other pieces in like spirit, but with different characters were recited. “The tree of Knowledge is not that of Life” was fully vonched for by many who had felt the rod in the old field school of other days, and by younger brothers who were yet smarting under Lord Byron’s advice. The moral and religious was seen in “Nothing blooms Forever,” “True Happiness,” “The vani ty of human greatness.” Miss Agnes N. Calder ofCharleston, read us a beautiful piece; her theme, “No bliss without Alloy,” and was followed by Miss Lucy F. Harwell on the other side with this sontiment, “Every Cloud hath it* Silver Lining.” This was well conceived and executed by both young ladies. Nor must we pass over the fact that there was a good deal of the pootic after all our complaint*. “Old Letters,” by Miss E. S. Eve of Augusta, “Hope,” by Miss Hillstnan of Morgan, “The Alusic of the Spheres,” by Miss Crowell of Alabama, and “Tho traces of Time,” by Miss Latham, sli abounded in fine thought and beautiful language. Tho exercises closed with a rich dobato between Aliss Jones of Warren and Miss Kidd of Oglo thorpo. The question was, “Which is strongest Love or Money ?” As you may guess tho money argument carried it; and in spite of our effort to be sontimental, wo had to exclaim, “let thero be money in the purse.” COMMENCEMENT DAT. Wednesday was a bright day, the hoavena amil od from abovo, and beauty nmiled from the gay multitudo that early met in the Chapel. The young, the old, the gay and eerioua mingled in the gladncaa of the ocoaaion. I’rotident Myers of Macon, opened the cxoreises with Frayor, and Mias Johnson of Cave Spring, read the Salutatory in a clear voice aud distinct, though hurried pro nunciation. The following is the order in whioh the compositions were read* Miss Ann E. Johnson, Cavo Spring, Ga.—Salu tatory—The South—Her Literary Frospoets. Mies Lavinia A.

Felt#n, Cortors- I villo, Ga. j You need not ask me the common question of tlieso occasions “ how wero you pleased,” for it 1 would have been unnatural and atnpid not to be pleoaod. If literary merit, sweet modulation and gi-aeo of manner can gratify, then all must have been dolightod. The productions themselves, and tho manner of rending was not all tho enjoy mont of 1 tho day. It is not the expectation that any of these ] graduates will sver be honored in a woman’s con vention or that thoy will rival, Toombs and Bte- J phena in political fame, but the hopo that they will soothe our heart* and bioss our homes—that wo rejoice in them. It is not tho eloquence of the Senate or the rostrnm that we need, but the elo qnonco to cheer ns in sorrow and support us in ears. For this roason wo watched the hoart more than tho efforts of mind on tiiis occasion. There 1 were two scenes full of soul and feeling—worthy of the College and the Class. | The first was written by Miss Martha A. Fannin of Morgan County, ber theme “I would not be a Child Again.” From the subject we expected groat self-possession and composure. When her niuno was called she camo on the stage and com menced in a full, round tone ot voice, bst before ono sentence was concluded the tide of childhood’s fears came rushing too strongly for her new oharao tcr, and she took hor seat bathed in toars. Every heart was tonohod na wo looked upon that half ehaded face, now smiling, now blushing, and all tho time meisonod with toars. Tho exercises wont on. Ono by one read hor thesis, and received the applause of tho audience. Again Miss Fannin was called—she rose from the sofa—the tear was gone. And she read in admirable style “I would not boa Child Again.” Mr. Editor, it was a per fect triumph—beautiful os tho sun-light after days of cloud and rain. Did yon ever see the timid fawn surrounded by huntamon, halt and hide amid the trees until ita fears wero gone, and then dash by in all ita grace, unhurt f 8o did our young friend seem as ahe passed off the stage with long and loud applauso. Tli* othor characteristic of deep aontiment was the Valodiotory to the Trustees and Faculty, by Mis* Rebecca A. Latimer of DeKalb. After a briof address to the Fathers of the College, com plimenting them on their noble work, she turned with evident emotion to take leave of her teachers in the name of the Class. The past was called up, their mutual trials, their pleasure’s, the kindness of the Professors, their attention to the studies of the pupils, and above all, their religious solicitude for their future happiness. When the altar-scenes of the College were mentioned, the freshness of her religious emotions mingled with the regrets of the speedy parting and filled her heart with genu ine onthusiasm. Each sentence brought more touching thoughts and sont thrills to that silent audience. Her voioo now deepened under emo tion, rose and fell with the echoes of retiring music, until the dying note sent back it# sad “Farewell.” Strong men wept under the power of sentiment at once so strong and so natural. Miss Virginia Wray delivered the Valedictory to tho Class. Though not so full of pathos as the other, yet it was a sensible and affectionate address. They then received their degrees with the earneet appeals of the President in favor of usefulness and religion. Hon. W. 11. Felton of Cartersville, closed the oxereisee with an address of great literary merit. 1 understand it it to be published and will be read with interest and pleasure. Now, Mr. Editor, if you wish anything addod to give interest to a Com mencement in Madison, you can find abundant materials in tho intelligence and urbanity of this inland town. Cultivated manners and religious habits combine with wealth to make it the sea of female literature. After all that I have said about examinations ahd exhibitions you must net be surprised if I send you some articles Against public examinations for young ladies. But I will premise if the exam ination is opposed, not to say anything against the privilege ot the ladies to addrett t u, on these occasions. * Vienna. Disappearance o» a Laxk.—A lake about two miles and a half long, and located about eight miles from the village at Brighton, Canada, burst ita banks on the (Ist ultimo, and completely grained oat the water on the neighboring land. Th# bank through whioh the water broke was aboit forty feet in height. The rush of water dug a channel twenty-five feet deep, and one hundred feet wide, for a length of two mile*, uprooting forest trees, soarrying away mill dams, and drowning two men. Thus occurred the singular phenomenon of a lake being dried in a few hours. Montmist to Mr. Clay.—The monument to Mr. Cray at Pottsville, Pa., is to consist of a statue nine feet in height, on a Grecian Doric column, of cast iron, starting from a base of rocks—the whole height of column and* base 68}* feet above the neat Unee, being 1M feet above the side-walk on Centre street, Pottarille, fronting the monument.

The steamship Albatrosa, from Quebec, via Prince Edward Island and Halifax, 70 hours from the latter port, arrived at New York at 2 o’clock on Toeadav morning. The Prince Edward Island Boyal Gazette of the 19th uit., Is entirely taken up with despatches pas sed between the Home Government and the Gov ernor of the Island, on the subject of the Fisheries. Th* Governor in a despatch dated February last, say*:— A* to the Fisheries about which I have troubled your Lordship so much, I have no hesitation in say ing. that were I the sole proprietor of this Island, and lookibg to the question aa one involving my own interests, and ass national one, I would peti tion her Majesty to abrogate the Convention of 1818, and graciously ask for permission to invite the American fishermen to our shores, to carry on their trade, and make the beat arrangement 1 oould with them.” Akotbbb Fishtbo Psixa.—The Telegraph, Tender to H. M. steamsh•»; Devastation, recently sent to cruize in the by direction of the Admiral, for the protection of the Fisheries, *ei»d an Amerioan fishing vessel for violating tlje terms of the Convention of 1818; and brought her into thia port on Saturday last. Thia i* tha result of our Lieut. Governor’* able representation to the Colo nial Offioe on the subject of protecting our fish eries ; and we sincerely trust this seiaure will havs the effect of opening the eyes of the Cabinet at Washington to the advantage their people will derive from possessing a common right to fishery on tho coasts of this Island with th* concession of reciprocal trade. — P. X. bland Boyal Oatette. The Halifax British North American of Friday last says: “Iti* reported that Captain Crowell kaa aeiaed"another vessel, but this is a* yet rumor.” Taa B. N. A Harness Fiaamaa.—The subjec under which we are writing, and which haarsoently engrossed the attention of the American public ana the United States Congress, looms high and far above every other question at present before the Colonial public. We take soma credit to Our selves far having worked up the “protection to the fisheries” to its present importance. For years past we htve zealously labored to impress upon tbs , community the necessity of preserving for our in terests, the valuable fishing grounds with which the British Provinces are everywhere surrounded. The value of these to our republican neighbors wilt be beat understood when it is known that this productive branch of industry aiont employs twenty-one hundred sail of Amerioan vessels, manned by thirty thousand man, and th* aapitai invested is stated at 113,000,000. Up to the pres ent period the American* have enjoyed unlimited privileges on onr preserves. Aa Colonists we have been unwearied in our exertions to obtain recipro cal trade with our natural customers—th* Ameri cans ; but while our reasonable request* have been respectfully entertained, they have been unneces sarily postponed. Under these circumstances, we would be the veriest dotards in existence did we not turn round and protect ourselves. In doing so, we shall teach both the mother country and the United States a wholesome lesson. The colo nist* of British North America are not “humble suitors,” Sob*coaxed by the authorities st heme, er overawed by foreign governments. Th* ques tion of the fisheries is purely a provincial matter, and must be dealt with irrespective of the peculiar relations between England and the United States.— Our privilege* havs been too long tampered with to be further subjected to the whim ana caprice of a British Minister, who may, if he choose, make them convenient to negotiate more favorable terms for the admission of railroad iron or cotton textiles into the American market. What the colonies re quire is full and fa<r reciprocity; and, until this reasonable request is granted, we shall go in for the moat stringent protection for our fisheries that our financial condition warrants. —Halifax Hominy Chronicle, July 29. Later from China,—The San Francisco papers, received by the Falcon yesterday, contain advices from China to the Ist of May. Ths news from the disturbed provinces is ex tremely unsatisfactory. The papers give numer ous accounts of battles, or rather skirmishes, be tween the Imperial forces and th* insurgents, in which the latter appear to have th* advantage most frequently. The defection of the large body of Imperial troops, already mentioned, produced great consternation at Canton, and the rumor con tinues to prevail that the British Minister has been applied te to give aid and protection to the Government with the addition that the Ameri can agent has also been applied to for eounsel and aid. Whon the “Celestial Kingdom” solicits inter position and favor from the outside barbarians in America it mast begin to be thought that we are something of a “power npon the earth.” Th# only incident# of the war which we find in the papers relate to the capture by the insurgante of various oities and the abandonment of them again to the Government forces, and the appear ance of bodies of “ rebel*” in various plaee*, and the departure and return of Government troops: but we must confess that our geographical and statistical knowledge is not snfllcient to enable us to understand where those places sre, and what is their relative importanee. The war, however, is evidently spreading, much to the danger and alarm of the existing Government. The FriendofChinanotieesthearrival at Hong- Kong, in the Golden Gate, of Col. Berrineski, the Hungarian exile, who left San Francisco a short time ago, with the intention of openings communi cation with a tribe of Tartars, who are said to be of the same origin as the Hungarians, apd speaking a language very similar, with a view es procuring their aid in an attack on Ruesia.—Fvm yimt. Consumption of Gold.—The following curious statistics relative to the consumption of gold, were stated in a Lecture, lately delivered at the Geo logical Society at London: The entire amount of gold in circulation is said to be £48,000,000; of which tho wear and waste is stated to be per cent, annually, or £1,580,000. The consumption of gold in aria and manufactures is as follows: In ths United Kingdom £8,500,000 France 1,000,000 Switzerland 450,000 Other parte of Europe.... 1,600,008 United States 500,000 £6,050,000 In Birmingham alone there is a weekly consump tion of gold for chains only amounting to 1,000 oz. Ths weekly consumption for gold leaf in London is 400 oz.; in other places in Great Britain, I*4 oz. One of the potteries in Staffordshire oonsnmes £8,600 worth of gold annually in gilding; and the whole caneumption for gilding porcelain in Eng land is estimated at about 8,600 ounces annually.

The whole of the wreck of the Henry Clay has been removed but no more bodies were found, , and it may be presumed that the entire extent of the calamity is now known. Ths jury summoned by the coroner at Yonkers having heard all the evidence adduced in relation to the occurrence, have returned a verdict, whioh, after recapitulat ing the names of the dead and the cireumstances connected with the burning of the boat, concludes as follows: The Jury find that on the 28th of July, 1852, the persons described as having beefe found dead at Yonkers wore passengers on board the Henry Clay, that she took fire and was consumed, ana that J. K. Simens, one of the persons, was burned to death, and that all the other persons, either by reason of the shock ocossioned by the collision of the boat on the land, were thrown overboard, or that in order to save themselves from being burned, cast themselves overboard and were drowned in the Hudson river. That on the above namod day the Henry Clay left Albany, with pas aengers, about 7 o’clock in the morning, that Ckipt. John F. Tallman was Captain and part own er ; that Thomas Colyer was also one of the own ers, Jas. L. Jessup was clerk, Edwd. Hubbard was pilot, Jas. Hnbbsrd assistant pilot, Jshn Germaine was engineer, Chas. Merritt assistant engineer ; that acertain ysung man (whose name is unknown te the Jury,) but who was employed to tefld the bar of the steamboat, and that those persons were on board at the time, end had each of them part of theohargeof the said boat; and that for the pur pose of excelling in epeed a certain other steam heat called the Armenia, for the purpose of increas ing ths speed of the Henry Clsy, created an unusu al and unsafe quantity of steam, and in so doing made excessive fires, and did not use ordinary pru dence in the management of eaid fires; and, although often being remonstrated with by diffe rent passengers, did a long time continue these excessive fires,and in consequence thereof through theirculpable negligence and criminal recklessness, the Henry Clay did, at 15 minutes after 8 o’clock, P. M., lake fire, and all the deaths of the passen gers afore described ensued ;—so the Jurors ssy, that the deaths of all the said persons, and of each of them, were the result of an act perpetrated by the said John F. Tallman, Thos. Colyer, Jamea L. Jessup, James Ellmendorf, Edward Hnbbsrd, John Germaine, and said barkeeper. The act was imminently dangerous to others, snd evinced t depraved mind, regardless of hu man lifo, althougfrit was perpetrated without any premeditated design to effect tke death of any par ticular individual. The jury were five hours in deliberating on their verdict. Krtinu* Cutter Tanbt Catbubd—Loss of Fm Ln*.—Testerdsr afternoon, at 1, o’clock, as the Revenue Cutter Taney, Lieut. Martin com manding, waa proceeding down the Bay, ahe was suddenly atruek by a white squall and capsized, and immediately filled. Lieut. Martin and officers, i and soma of the araw, who were twelve in num- j ber, were taken off by the steamer Thomas Hunt, | and brought to the eity. Five man were drownech I The steamboat Thomas Hunt, which waa coming ; close on at tha time, and pilot boata No. 7, named tha Yankee, and No. t, name not known, then in the vicinity, saved the Commander, two Lieuten ants, and the Pilo', with thirteen of the crew. Captain Martin narrowly escaped destruction by endeavoring to clear the copper life-boat, which capsized and fell on him, he barely succeeding in extricating himself as the water closed upon the hull. Qe was then entangled in the main rigging, and met with equal difficulty in freeing himself.— Doran, an old seaman, was jammed between one of the guns—a twelve-pounder—and the rail, and was taken down in that position. Capt M. has been thirty-six years in the service, and has never before met with a similar misfortune. When etrnek by tho squall, the Tanev was about a mile below Governor’s Island. The squall seem ed to fell aboard almost vertically, causing her to capsise and fill in an instant. So limited was the extent and duration of the squall that pilot boats and other vessels, within 150 yards of the spot were becalmed at the time, and immediately after wards scarcely more than a breath of air could be perceived. Captain M. also states that it was so sudden that net a ripple was observed to indicate its approach.— X. Y. Tmu, of Wednesday.

Ed itors What are Gen. Pierce’s views in relation t<. “the institution of slavery f" Haa he never ex pressed opinions and feelings concern ing slavery which no Southern man can sanction ? In * speech, revised and written out by himself and poolis 1 ied in the Appendix to tho Congres sional Glo'jc, 2d session, 25th Congress, page 54, (no speech es are published in that work but such as are revised by the members who deliver them) he used this language : 1 j “ I have no hesitation in saying that I consider slavery a social and political evil, and meat sin- ! cerelr/ with it had no existence on the face of the I earth." Now how many Southern men concur with Gen Pierce in the belief that slavery “is a social and po litical evil;” and how many joins him in the mast sincere wish” that it had no existence on the face of the earth 1 Do his supporters in Georgia con cur with him f If they do, it is their duty, as honest men, to organize a party in favorof voting out from among us this “social and political evil.” If thev do not concur with him, how can they con sistently support him! < Again—w» have undoubted authority—no abo lition, or whig papers —but the authority of his own accredited organs, for saying that he bates and deplores slavery—yea as* much as sa abolitionist. Now for the proof. Shortly after his nomination, there appeared in the Boston Post, the organ of Gen. Pierce’s party in Massachusetts, an elaborate biographical sketch of the General, written by the Editor of the Post at least it haa usually been ascribed to bis pen that sketch was transferred to the Washington Union of June 28th, apd endorsed by the Editor as a “very able and well written notioe of General Pierce,” and “commended to the attention of his reader*.” Now it is the vocation of the Union to advocate the claims of Gen. Pierce as a candidate fbr the Presidency—to defend him against the attacks of his opponents, and to oorrect any misrepresenta tion* of his views and opinions, which may ob tain currency. No one oan charge the Union with misrepresenting Gen. Pierce particularly on the question of slavery, on which it takes special pains to prove him sound in the estimation of his South ern supporters. In the biography of Gen. Pierce, published in the Boston Post, and re-published in the Union, there is a sketch of a speech deliv ered by him on the 20th of last November at Man chester. (notin January at New Boston, be it re collected—the two speeches must not be confound ed.) The meeting at Manchester, the editor in forms us, “was one of the Union meetings, which was called at thatperiod in order to give a pledge of fidelity to the Union, the Constitution, and the laws”—and the General's speech is quoted to prove his fidelity to the Union, and show his boldness in rebuking the abolitionists, many of whom were present, and to whom the speech was mainly ad dressed. I quote from his speech as reported in the Post and Union. Ho said, “the men in the hall, who had abandoned themselves to the infatu ation of disunion sentiments probably live to ro grot and repent of their present course. In the coming days of decrepitude, when the infirmities of age shall have crept upon them, they would gather their children around them and confess now they were onoe betrayed into moral treason, and asalegacy, say to them, “Stand byyourUniau and stand Dy vour country.” f What think ilie Southern Biglits Democrat’s *nd W bigs many of whom last yc*r we,* open disunionista, of that de claration 1 According to Gen. Pierce, they were guilty of “ moral treason". Are they now not his supporters!” But to continue from the General’s speech:— “ Who," said lie “did not deplore slavery? But what sound thinking mind regarded that as the only evil which could rest upon the land, The men, who would dissolve the Union did not HATE or deplore Slavery more than he did : but even with it, ws had lived in peace, prosperity, and se curity from the foundation of our institutions to the present day.” These extracts are sufficient to show Genoral Pierco’s strong anti-slavery feolings that he ‘hates’ slavery as much as an abolitionist 1 The disnnionists whom be addressed were abolition ists, and not Southern Rights secessionists. He told them that none of them “hates or deplores slavery more than he does.” Well, if that is not hating slavery strong enough and hard enough, will some of his Southern Rights friends tell us how much harder and stronger he ought to hate it to entitle himself to the support of Southern men ? Has Gen. Scott ever said anything to show that he hates slavery as intensely as Gen. Piero* ? And if Southern men “strain” at him on aocount of his anti-slavery notions, how oan they “swallow” Gen. Pierce who' “hates” slavery as muoh as an aboli tionist ? Tell me that, ye who can. An Up-Cotntrt Whig.

On the 2d inst., the fishing schooner Coral, siozed and condemned at St. John, was sold at auction by order of the Court, and bought by the American Consul for $155. Her fishing gear brought S2O more. The New Bruuswicker states it as the current impression that she was equipped and manned by Grand Manan people, who were sailing nnder Amerioan papers tor the American bounty : the register stating that she belonged trf W. E. Pennell of Machias port and Edw. Gateano, the master. The New Brunswicker adds that half the American fishing bonnties are paid in this way to persons not entitled to‘them; and that if “Brother Jonathan is not don* brown every year by his own fishermen, with the help of the Nova Scotians, then there is no believing anything.” Incendiarism. —A fire was discovered yesterday morning between 5 and 6 o’clock, in tho loft of a stable on the promises of Dr. J.

It was fortunately discovered before it hod made much progress and put out. The buildings in the imme diate vicinity are almost entirely of wood, and many of them very old, and had the fire made any headway before it was discovered, it is very probu hle that there would have been a large amount of property destroyed, and numerous unfortunate families made houseless.— Sav.

British Bare Burned.— The British bark Char lotte, Capt. Boa, hence for Liverpool, cleared from this port on the 27th ult., with a cargo of 1,884 bales of cotton and 2,u00 staves. The Charlotte vas towed over the bar by the towboat Ocean, on Sat urday the 81st ult., at 12 o’clock, M., that day. She was discovered t* be on fire in the main tep. Every exertion to extinguish the flames proved useless. The captain and crew abandoned the vessel, and arrived in tho city yesterday. Capt. Bea states that when he left the ship the masts were all gone, and the deck falling in.— There were several towboats about her, endeavor ing to save something from the wreck. Capt. Bea thinks that if they scuttled her, that in all proba bility some few bales of cotton in the lower hold would be saved. It is supposed that the vessel is insured in Liverpool. The fire is believed to have caught from sparks from the towboat’s Chimney.

On being arrested, she con fessed the crime and said she did it to hide her shame. The body of the child was found in a clothes basket among some soiled clothes. The father of the child is quite a youth.

The | sight appalled him, and instead of persisting in his _ ; efforts he ran frantic into the street, crying that ' I his “children was lost! his children were lost.” ' I The mother also lest iier self-possession, andbe -1 fore relief could reach them the three little child ren, the oldest five years, and the youngest eight months, were burned to death. Their bodies were removed to a house opposite. It was some time before the unfortunate parent* could realize their terrible loss.

But Lizzie was gone forever from her mother’s sight.— The bodies of the children presented a frightful spectacle, the entire flesh being burned off.—Bos ton Transcript, Wednesday. Import of Railrod Iron. —Some idea of the number and extent of the railroads now being built in the United States, mav bo derived, says the Philadelphia Eonning Bulletin , from the fact that the importation of railroad iron in ISSI was double what it was in 1850. A table, carefully compiled, and published in Hunt's Merchants' i Magazine, makes the import of 1850 about seventy thousand tons, and the import of ISSI over one i hundred and forty-one thousand tons. A large portion of this iron has been paid for in the bonds i of the companies on whose aeeonut it was pur chased. The remainder remains unpaid, or has i been liquidated by exports, either of specie or of i staples.

But hefelt it to be his duty atthis election to help turn e tho Whigs out of power, and procure a reform in t the administration of the Government. And he i warned those who thought otherwise not to be too hasty in imputing wrong motives to tho radical I Democrats who took this course.— A. Y. Evening r Post. \ A New Movement in the Fish Trade.—Two British fishing vessels have arrived at Beverly, ] Mass., laden with fish “green,” or unsalted. Their cargoes were to be landed and cured on the fish \ flakes ofthe place, and the collector of the port was t in some doubt how to assess the duties, as the fish t in their “green” state probably weighed three i times as much as when cured. The Boston Tra- c veller says: v “These are the first cases of this kind that have e occurred in this country. The usual custom lias ; boon for British vessels to cure their fish at homo ti and send them here. By this new plan some con siderable expense in charges and commission* is t saved, but tile duties will be paid upon them, as if ex ported from the Provinces in tho usual mode.” 9 «. c. Rice, wo aie told, was not known to the Greeks f and Romans. It made its appearance in Europe 9 about tho middle of the 14th century.
