Mr. King’s Health.
The Savannah Rep üblic in of Monday aays:—The
private Secretary of Mr. Kmo who came passen
ger by the Isabel, states that the health of Mr.
Kj.no bad improved very mnoh. The subjoined
extract of a lotter from an aqusintanoe of oura at
present in Matanzas, near which Mr. King is re
siding, gives a very different account of his condi
tion. We are inclined to think the opinion ex
pressed by oar acquaintance is a correct one, and
that tho friends of Mr. Kmo oornmit an error,
when they attempt to produoetheimpreeaion upon
the public rnind that ho is muoh butter, and that
ho will probabably recover.
Matanza*, Feb. 17,1858.
* * * * “ Mr. King. Vico President elect,
arrived bore yesterday in the Fulton. He will oc
cupy the house belonging to Wm. Janoka, Esq.,
on the 1a Cumhro, about three miles from this oity,
one of the most delightful and most healthy situa
tions on the Island, where in addition to many
other advantages, he can enjoy all thoae that are
peculiar to sugar estates. A friend who saw Mr.
King to-day, represents him as being very feeble
and conversing with ninah difficulty. His oongh
is very exhausting, and his feet ore much swollen.
He is often reported as improving, but there it no
thing to enoou'ago any hope of recovery. He re
marked to a gentleman while in Havana, that it
was only at the earnest entreaty of friends he came
out here. He did not expect to be materially bene
fltted.”
Mr. King.—The Captain-General.
Aoconnmo to the Havana gossips quite * ridi
culous little faroe has been enacted recently in
that city between Vico-Preaident elect Kins and
bin distinguished excellency, the Captain-General.
'Die National lntMijeiunr furnishes the following
version of the grave atid momentous affair.
Mn. Kino at Havana.— The following is a more
particular account, dorived from the New York
Commercial Advertiser, of Mr. King's visit to Ha
vana, and of the misunderstanding with the Cap
tain-General of Cuba, which was mentioned in
our publication of yesterday:
“ A uir.'iimstance which created some little in
tore-t in Havana is reported to have ooourred dur
ing Mr. King'a visit there. Etiquette, we believe,
forbids the Captain-General from making the first
call upon any stranger, no matter how distinguish
ed ids rank. Mr. King, aware of this faot, addres
sed a note to Gen. Canedo, stating that he regret
ted Hitch was the case, and the more so as his own
precarious health put it out of bia power to call
upon him. Gen. Canedo promptly replied, re
questing Mr. King to doaignate a time when he
c >uld wait upon him. Mr. King replied that the
effort to receive him would be attended with great
fatigue, but lio would flx upon the ensuing Friday,
at !i I*. M. At the appointed time, with great dif
ficulty, (as lie was suffering vary severely, Mr.
King prepared to receive tho Captain-General, but
ilia Excellency did not present himself. On the
following morning, Mr. King, through tho Ameri
can Consul, addressed a noto to the Captain-Gen
eral, reminding him that lie had not kept the ap
pointment, or sunt an apology, and expressing hit
regret, that lie Would for tho future, be unable to
aoe him. Immediately on the reocipt of the last
noto, the Captain-General called at Mr. King’s
hotel, accompanied by his suite, but Mr. King,
we aro told, declined seeing him, as did also the
ladles of his party. Our informant adds, how
ever, that on Mr. King’s leaving for Mautansas, a
mutual exchange of cards took piece, probably
with explanations, uud no unfriendly feeling ex
isted."
The N. O. Pirnyun* has rattier a different ao
count, for tho accuracy of which the Editor vouch
es upon tho authority of a gentleman just arrived
from Havana. We subjoin it:
Dutton!) cut Diamomi.— The gossip* of Hsvans
have boon much ainuaed, as wo have it on the most
reliable authority, by an adventure wliieh has re
cently taken place tbare, and the principal person
ages in which wuro no loss thnify no Vica President
elect of these United States, end his High Mighti
ness, tho Captain General of Cuba.
Tho latter lias from tho first shown a strong de
al ro to treat Mr. King with tho utmost hospitality
and politeness. A brief time after Mr. King’s ar
rival at Havana, tho Captain-General wrote diim a
very polite n to, Uwuiringwhen it would suit him
to receive a visit fryi Ilia Kxcellonoy, SenorCnue
do. Mr. King replied, naming a day and hour.
Tho day came, and Mr. King, though vory un
well, dressed with more than usual care to receive
his distinguished visitor and prepared in other
ways for an oocasiou which was or no small im
portance. Moments slipped away; half-hours and
hours, and finally, juat as tho invalid host, wearied
cut and annoyed, was about to retire, in dashed,
witli much noise and ceremony and many profound
bows, a unilcnnod, nigullletted and gold-laced
" adjutant," who, ufter many polito phrases, in
formed Mr. King that the Captain-General was
vory sorry—muon grieved—overflow of business
—imperative dntics, Ao., Ao.—hoped to be excus
ed—would llis Excellenoy name another day and
hour when Hi* High Mightiness, Senor Canedo,
oould wait on him.
His Kxoollenoy regretted that the Captain Gene
ral had so much pressing business, Ao., and would
name Rueh a day and boar lor the much desired
Interview.
Out wont the “ndjatent,” with smiles, bows,
and courtoous phrases.
Tho Heoond day for the interview came; Mr.
King again prepared to receive his powerful visi
tor ; again was lie disappointed; again, after a long
delay, cumethe bespangled "adjutant," with the
saute hows and speeches, and the same excuses,
and Die same request that His Kxcelleuoy would
name a day, Ac.
Much to the astonishment of the polite “adju
tant" lie reoeived an answer to the effect that Hr.
King wns in very bad health, and tho Captain
General noed not trouble himself to visit him.
“ Order my carriage immediately 1" the Captain
General is reported to have said when tide ourt in
timation reached him. f! ith tho ueual state dis
play he proceeded to call on Mr. King. It was
rather late, and the latter was preparing to retire
for the night. The Spanish gentleman lent np hit
card, and would be extremely glad to see Mr. King.
Mr. King wa* very muoh indisposed and could not
re -site the Captain General. The latter then ask
ed to see Mr. King’s secretary. The secretary had
Cme to bed. and neither could he reoalve the Cap
iu General. Departure of the latter in no pleas
ant mood.
Such la the tenor of the chit chat whioh, at last
accounts, served as the mental repast for the in
habitants of the bcautiftil oity o‘s Havana. The
story is no doubt exaggerated, but it Is still very
piquant.
LMtr from Havana.
Bt the arrival of the steamer hM at Charles
ton, wo hsTe dates from Havana to the tld inst.,
her day of sailing.
Among the list oi consignees we observe the
name of W. S. A T. H. Rossirts, Augusta, Ga.
We oull from the Otvrur the following items of
. news:
Among the passenger* is G. Hamilton Jonsa,
E-q., Private Secretary to the Hon. W. R. King,
who is bourer of despatches from our Consul at
Havana to Washington. We are gratified to learn
from Mr. Jones that the health of the Vice Presi
dent elect is muoh improved. He is at present
atuving on the plantation of Mr. Jouks, four miles
from Matanxss, that gentleman having politely
tendered him the us* or his house. Mr. Jones de
scribes the place a* being exceedingly beautiful,
and sevs that M.r. King seems thoroughly to enjoy
hinv-olf thrw. Mr. Jones left Mr. King on tho
2t*t instant, and appears perfectly sanguine a* to
liis speedy recovery. The sugar house, in Mr.
King s ease, h»* proved very efficacious, affording
him almost instantaneous relief. Mr. King is ac
©ompanied hy two niece* and two nephews.
The telegraphic account published m the Qmriir,
.on Thursday, of the misunderstanding between
ng and the Captain-Genera!, is eubetautially
confect. It is, however, definitely settled, ai-
Soiigh no interview took place between the par-
DUft'e loirn .front another passenger by the Isabel
tw|t some excitement existed in Havana in eonse
jbaaentc of the authorities having broken open the
from Havana, which wore placed on board
the U.B. mail steam ship Empire City, Capt. Win*
* die, for Now Orleans, on the 19th inst., by the
it iftn’o- Messrs. Prake A Co. The Empire City
■Wits advertised to sail on that morning at 7 o’clock,
but prior to that hoar wae boarded by the Chief es
Police, two Commissioners and three Police offl
- cere, who proceeded to open the Havana letters,
detaining thereby the eteamer until half past 9
o’clock —one hour and a half. The following
morning the C.S. mailateam ehip Crescent City,
Opt. Fitter, jnst as she was about proceeding to
Hew York, was similarly treated, and detained
*ue hoax and a quarter.
It is said that the authorities hare adopted this
course in order, if possible, to discover what Cre*
olea in the Island are engaged in correspondence
with the Filibusters of the United States. On the
gist inst., however, the U. S. Consal at Havana,
judge Sharkey, aldreased aeommanioation to the
Captain General, protesting, it ie said, in energet
ic terms against the right of the Cuban authorities
to search any U. 8. mail steam ahip. Our inform
ant further statea that he believes no response had
been received by our Consul, prior to the depar
ture of the Isabel. The Isabel, however, was per
mitted to leave port without undergoing anv exam
ination ; the communication therefore, of tne Con
sul seems to h»ve had a desirable effect.

The first business in order was the reading of
the Memorial of the Committee of three. Mr. My
ers, of Bibb, read that document, as follows:
MEMORIAL.
To tlie Senate and House of Representative* of
tho Stoto of Georgia, in general assembly met:
Tho Citizens of the State of Georgia, who feol
that the Traffic in Spiritoue Liquors us now allow
ed, is destructive of tho best iutorasts, moral, so
cial and political of a free people, having met in
Goncral Committee, would respectfully present to
your honorable body: i
That by tho present License system our follow
citizens are betrayed into habits which result in
vieef poverty, degradation and crime; unfit them
for tho discharge of aomestio, social or political
duties; entail upontheirfamiliesaheritageof woe,
and curse their ceuntry with the rule of fallen
freemen.
Our children are early aeduccd to a coarse of in
temperance which blasts all our hopes, and de
stroys all their prospects for life.
Our slaves are corrupted, their health destroyed,
their morals depraved and their value depreciated.
Neighbors and friends sre embroiled in feuds, and
peaceable neighborhoods made to wituess revolt
ing scenes of strife and bloodshed. i
Lifo and property are rendered insecure by the
drunken carelessness of those to whom they are
entrusted.
Pauperism of every form is rendered familiar to
a people blossed of (tod with the moans of honora
ble independence above any otlior people on earth.
Taxes are lovied upon the sober, tho industrious,
the economical, to support in drunkenness, indo
lonco and waste a largo portion of the population,
or to pay tho oxpense of pauperism or crime, re
sulting from tho reckless improvidence orungov
ernod passions of tho intemperate.
Tho purity of our popular representative govern
ment is tarnished, and tho entire system is endan
gered, since tho grog-shop has become the center
of power to unscrupulous demagogues.
Those and numberless other'evils your memo
rialist would present as originating in tho present
system es Licensing tho Traffic in Spiritons Li
q'uors.
Your Memorialist would further present that
thoy bolieve that the time has sally come, when
tho sovereign people of the State of Georgia de
mand that sucti change as your wisdom may de
vi-e be made in the entire system, and they would
therefore, respectfully pray your honorable body:
First, To pass a Law embracing ail necessary
regulation for authorizing tho legal voters, of each
county, to decide by vote whether retail traffio in
ardent spirits may tie allowed or should be prohib
ited within thoir respective counties.
Socend. To make effeotivo the popular voioe
thus expressed, and to extirpate tho Retail Traffic
however it may bo disguised, by ordaining that no
traffio in Spiritons Liquors shall be allowed except
with licenses ; and that no License shall be issued
until tho licensing power is satisfied that a major
ity of tho legal voters within tho Militia District
where the traffic ie allowed, consent to such traffio.
Third. To pass a Law guarded by such provis
ions and enforced by suon provisions a* shall pre
serve it from eraciou, or unpunish violation, and
secure fully tho objects in view, of protecting the
people against the evils of th* Retail Traffio in
Spiritous Liquors.
On motion, it was then
Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention be
tendered the President, for tho able, impartial, and
dignified manner in which he has discharged his
duties as Prosiding officer, and that th* Conven
tion also tendor its thanks to th* Vice Presidents
and Secretaries of the Convention, for th* aatia
factory discharge of their duties.
On motion it was further
Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention b*
tendered to tho Baptist Denomination of Atlanta,
for the uso of their Church in which the Conven
tion assembled, and to the Methodist Episcopal
Denomination for their Church lor the" uso of
Speakers in the Temperanco cause.
On motion, tho Secretaries were instructed to
furnish the proceedings to the press of the State.
Dr. Lovio Pierce, in compliance with a call, then
addressed the Convention in a spirited and elo
quent speech of some length, which wa* greatly
applauded.
On motion of Mr. Lester, of Foisyth,
Resolved, That tho Central Committee prepare
an appropriate gold medal with proper devices, to
be given to that County Committee-man, who will
obtain the largest number of signatures to the pe
tition sent by'this Convention, according to the
population ot his county. •
()n motion of Mr. Duryee, of Chatham,
Resolved, That tho Couuty Committee-man be
requested to furnish to the Central Committee,
and by them to be laid before the'Legislature in
such "manner and form as to thfeir wisdom may
soetn best, the following statistics, viz:
Number of Churches in each county, with num
ber of members —number of schools with the
number of scholars—Number of Temperance or
ganizations with aggregate) membership—number
of cases of known death from intemperance—
number of taverns, distilleries, grog-ehops or dog
geries. licensed or unlicensed—cases of crime su
perinduced by tbe sale of intoxicating liquors,
with the cost to the county of their trial, together
with the eases of pauperism with the cost of ita

1 FOREIGN NEWS BY THE ARABIA.
Insurrection at Milan.
The Arabia bring* three day* later intelligence,
j The new* from Italy is of great importance.
! The following appeared in the London paper* of
| Wednesday evening:
j Pari*, Feb. 9, 5 A. M.—An insurrection
1 broke out on t'nc €th at Milan. Five men have
i perished, but order is re-established. An Austrian
j proclamation announces this fact.
I The Milan train had not arrived on the 3th, at
the Swiss frontier.
“ Further advices state that the fighting has re- !
commenced. [The Journal des Debate say* it
is thought that the fighting has re-oommeiiced,
Ac.]
“A proclamation of Mazzmus posted np.”
Later iu the evening an additional despatch was
published, as follows:
P Aina, Wednesdsy, 5 P. M.—The Government
has received s message, deled Turin, February 9,
which announced the entire suppression of the
insnrrectlon in Milan. Turin and Piedmont are
tranqniL
Tne messages referred to were dated reapective
ly. Bellingzona, Feb. 9, half-past IP. M., and Bala,
Anather statement say* that the Austrians in
the arsenal were massacred; (from whioh we in
fer that the people supplied themselves with arms.)
The emuU broke out simultaneously in three parts
of the city.
The following is the despatch received at 8.50
A. 11., 9th, by the Sub-Marine Telegraph Com
pany, from the British Minister at Berne, for
transmission to the Minister lor Foreign Adairs at
London:
“A telegraph message from Bell’nzona of the
Bth instant, 4.30 P. M., announces that the gates
of Milan were shut, and it was supposed the in
surrection which had been was recom
menced. A proclamation from ilaizini was pla
carded."
The Morning Advertiser, says, editorally:
“Our intelligence respecting the insurrection
which broke out at Milan on Sunday, is necessar
ily scantv, owiug not only to the lact of its being
telegraphed, but to the channel through which it
has reached ns.
A distinguished Italian exile, writing ns last
night, expresses his conviction that it is a more
serious affair than would appear from the brief no
tice which the telegraph gives. lie mentions that
Kossuth has addressed a warm proclamation to
the Hungarian soldiers in Radetsky’s army exliort
iug them to join the Italian insurgent*. Our cor
respondent points to the carious coincidence that
the day. the 9th of February, on which the intelli
gence of the insurrection' reached England, was
the anniversay of the proclamation or the Re
public at Borne, and deposition of the Pope in
1819.
It was boldly asserted in Paris that the out
break had been enconraged by Austrian agents
for a pretext to advanoe their armies further into
Italy.”
The Daily News of yesterday, 11th, says:
‘‘Additional particulars are looked for from Milan
with deep interest, and the non-arrival of any tele
graphic message is regarded by the friends of
Mazziui as a favorable symptom. If the Austrians
had been successful, they say, they would certain
ly have sent the news, ere this, to Paris and Lon
don.”
A rumor of the death of the-Emperor of France
had been current at Milan, and donbtless hurried
on the revolt. According to hints dropped, a si
multaneous rising in other parts of Lombardy
may be looked for. It was stated on the Bourse
tha; two additional regiments had been ordored
to embark at Toulon for Civita Veohia, to insure
tranquility in the Koinan States.
Mazzini has been in the Canton of Tessino, Swit
zerland, for a month past.
In the Paris papers of the 11th inst., we find
some additional details:
A despatch from the Swiss Consul wt Milan to i
hia Government at Berne, states, under date even- i
ing of 7th, that outbreaks took place simultaneous- i
ly on the evening of the sth in three distinct quar- i
lersof the town, out the citizens, generally speak- i
ing, took no part in the outbreak, and order was i
promptly ro-establis, cd. i
The Journal des Debats says:—Wo have not,re- i
ceived the correct details of the outburst at Milan, <
which appears to have been repressed with as much i
rapidity as energy, for it is impossible to gather >
cither its extent or cause from the eonfusod ne- i
counts received to-day in Paris. Private corres- I
pondcnce from Milan, of the sth says: “The <
wholesale arrests made yesterday and to-day, have i
spread desolation throughout our city. More than j
two hundred families nave taken refuge in the i
Cunton of Tessino. It appears that the Govern- <
mont has discovered a wide spread conspiracy. <
It appears that this conspiracy had extensive ram- <
ideations, for auother letter, from Tuscany, quoted i
in the Debats, says—“ Domiciliary visits liuve
been taking place at Pisa, Lucca, Peschia and Pis- nt
toja, and many arrests have been the consequence. I
The Gazette de Zurich of Bth contains this para
graph : .
“If we may credit the Courier from Milan, just <
arrived at Lugano, a band of 400 men armed with ,
poignards had, on Sunday last, encountered the <
troops and Gen d’armerie. More than three hun- (
dred perished in the conflict. The same scene had ,
occurred at Bimiai, but the result is unknown.” ,
We read in the Gaeete de Bale :—“ Borne letters i
of yesterday, 7th February, contain a telegraphic
dispatch from Bellinzona, announcing that day \
before yostorday seditious outbreaks had bro- j
ken out in several cities of Lombardy and in Milan,
especially, a barrack has been attacked by a troop j
of 400 insurgents. This news has produced a 1
great sensation in the diplomatic circles of Bemo. i
It was said that the Federal Convent had sent Col. '
Kurzo as Federal Commissary to Tassino.
The Debat* says “ We huye letters from Turin,
of gth February, which announces that quiet had
been completely re-established at Milan. Ac the
first news of the outbreak, the Piedmontese Gov
ernment had taken all necessary me asures to hin
der the Milanese refugees in Piedmont from pas
sing the frontier. The greatest quiot continued
to reign in Turin and throughout Piedmont.”
The following is Maziini’s proclamation, which
was posted in Milan, and also circulated in Tessi
no
ST TBS ITALIAN NATIONAL COMMUTES.
“ Italian) / Brotheml —The mission of the Na
tional Italian Committeo is ended. Your mission
begins to-day. The last words which we, your
brothers, utter to you is, “ Insurrection 1” To
morrow, mingling with the ranks of the people,
we will aid you to maintain it.
“Insurrection 1 The momont matured, panted
for for three long years, has arrived. Let us
soizo it. Bo not deceived by appearances ; bo
not misled bv the cowardly sophistries of luke
warm men. The entire surface of Europe, from
Spain to our own land, from Greeco to holy Po
land, is a volcanic crust, beneath which sleeps a
lava, which will burst lorth in torrents at the up
heaving of Italy. Four years ago the insurrection
of Sicily was followed by ton European revolu
tions ; twonty European revolutions will follow
yours—all bound by one compact, all Bworn to one
fraternal aim. We have friends even in tiie ranks
of ths armies who rule us; there are entire people
whose alarm cry will answer to you. The nation- •
al democracies of Europe form one organized
esmp. Vanguard of tho groat army of the people
fear not isolation. The initiative of Italy is the
initiative of Europe.
“ Insurrection 1 Baered os tho thought of coun
try that consecratos it; strong in will aud in con
centrated energy as its aim, which is iustioe, ame
lioration, and free fraternal life for all; lot rise,
and convert martyrdom into victory 1 Ths tfcous
ands of victims who have fallen with the sacred
name of Italy on their lips, deserve this at onr
hands. Bo it tremendous as the tempeßt on our
sons; bo it obstinate nnd immovable as the Alps
whioh surround you. Between the Alps and the
extreme Sicilian sea are twenty-five millions of ns,
and a hundred thousand foreigners. It Is the
struggle of a momont if yon do but will.
“ Insurrection I Let the grand word leap from
city to city, from town to town, from village to vil
lage, like tho eleetrio current. Aronse 1 arise 1
awake to the orusade fever, all ye who have Italian
hearts—ltalian arms.
“ Bomind the people es their unjust sufferings,
their rights denied thorn, their ancient power, and
tho great pioture of liberty, prosperity, education
and equality—they may conquer at a bound.
“ Bemind your women of the mothers, the sis
ters, tiie friends who havo perished in unoonsoled
weeping for their loved ones, Imprisoned, exiled,
bntohered, beoea-e they had not, but deeired a
oountry.
“ Remind your young minds of thought outraged
and restrained, of the great traditionary past of
Italy, which they oan continue only by actions, of
the absolute nothingness of tho state they are now
in—they, the descendants of the men who have
twice given civilization to Europe.
“ Bemind the soldiers of Italy of ths dishonor of
n sorvilo uniform which the foreigners deride, of
the bones of their fathers left on the battle-fields of
Europe for the honor of Italy: of the true glory
which orowna the warrior for right, for justice, for
nationality.
“ Soldiers, women, youths, peopls! let us havs
for ths momont but one heart, one thought, one
desire, one ory in our souls, one ery on our lips.
“We will havo a country; ws will havs an Italy;
and an Italy shall be.”
“ Attack, break at every point the long weak
line of ths enemy. Prevent them from concentra
ting themselves by killing or dispersing their sol
diers, destroying roads and bridges. Disorganize
therm by striking at their officers. Ceaselessly pur
sue fugitives; be at war to the knife. Make arms
of the tiles of yonr houses, of ths stones of your
streets, of tho tools of your trades, of tho iron of
your cross:-s. Spread the alarm by watchfires kin
dled on every height. From one end of Italy to
the other let the alarm bell of the peopls toll the
death of the enemy.
“ Wherever you are victorious, move forward at
«nee to the aid of those nearest yon. Let the in
surrection grow like an avalanche wherever the
chance goes against you; run to the gorges, the
mountains, the fortresses given you by nature.
Everywhere the battle will havo broken out; eve
rywhere you will find brothers, and strengthened
by the victories gained elsewhere, yon will descend
into the field again the day after. One only bo our
flag—the flag of the nation. In pledge of our fra
ternal unity, write on it the words ‘ Ood and the
People ;’ they alonoare powerful to conquer—they
alone do not betray. It is the Bepnbliean flag
which, in ’4B and ’49 saved the honor of Italy; it
is the flag of ancient Venice; it is the flag of Koine
—EtermS Borne, the sacred metropolis of the tem
ple of Italy and tho world!
“ Purify yourselves, fighting beneath that flag.
Let the Italian peeple arise, worthy of the God
who guides them. Let woman be sacred; let age
and childhood be sacred; let property be sacred;
punish the thief as an enemy. Use for insurrec
tion tho arms, powder, and uniforms taken from
the foreign soldiers.
To arms, to armt! Our last word is the battle
cry. Let the men you have chosen to lead yon send
forth to Europe, on the morrow, tho cry of victory 1

“In the Name of the Hungarian Nation.—To

lam abc it to fulfil my intent. My intent is to free
my country, to make her independent, free and
happv. It is not by force wo have been crushed.
The force of the world would never have suffices
to crash Hungary. Treason alone did it.
«X swear that force shall not conquer ns, nor
treason injure us again. Onr war is the war cf the
liberty of the world, and we are no longer alone.
Not only the whole people of our own country will
be with us, not only will those once adverse to us
now combat with ns the common enemy, but all
the people of Europe will arise and unite to wave
the banner of liberty. By the force of the people
of the world the tottering power of the tyrante
•hall be destroyed. And this shall bathe last war.
“ In this war no nation fraternizes more with the
Hungarian than the Italian. Onr interests are one
—our enemy is one—cur struggle is one. Hunga
ry is the right wing, and Italy the left wing, of the
army I lead. The victory will be common to both.
“ Therefore, in the name of my nation, have I
made alliance with the Italian nation. The mo
ment we raise the banner of the liberty of tha
world, let the Italian soldierin Hungary unite with
the insurgent Hungarian Ballon, and the Hangs

i Let all, wheresoever the alarm shall first sound,
f combat against the common enemy. Whoso will
not do this, he, the hireling of onr country’* exe
cutioner, shall never more see his native land. He
• shall be forever exiled as a traitor, as one who has
sold the blood of his parents and of his country to
the enemy.
“The moment of the insurrection is at hand;

form, Suitors in Chancery Belief Bill, Lunacy Bill,
Bankruptcy and Criminal Law Procedure; there
after, the Earl of Derby urged Lord Aberdeen to
lose no time in laying before the House a statement
of the measure which the Government intended to
introduce. For himself and his friends he was
quite prepared to say that a cordial co-operation
would be given to any measures brought forward
by the Government, if they were calculated to
promote the public welfare. The Earl of Aberdeen
replied that he had already Informed the House
as to the graud principles oil which the Govern
ment would be carried out. As for the particular
measures which the Government intended, most of
them would be brought forward iu the House of
Commons, and under those circumstances he did
not think it necessary to make any further state
ments.
Commont. —Lord John Bussell indicated the
course which the government meant to pursue
with respect to the measures which would form
the principal business of the present session. They
intended, he saidj in the first place, to bring un
der the consideration of the House the various es
timates for the year as soon ns they ceuld bo pre
pared. W ith regard to the number of mou for the
army, navy, and ordinance, there would be no in
crease of the number voted before Christmas, but
the sum to be voted would exceed that of the last
year’s estimates, for which increase satisfactory
reasons would be given. The other measures
would include, first a bill to enable the Legislature
of Canada to dispose of the Clergy reserves; second
ly, a pilotage bill, in introducing which the Presi
dent of the Board of Trade would state the views
of the government regarding the various matters
affecting the shipping interest; thirdly, the con
sideration of the disability of the Jews, with a
view to their repeal; fourthly, a proposal upon th*
subject of education, which would tend to effect
groat improvements.
'IAk government would likewise state the course
thc™ntended to adopt with reference to the Uni
versities of Oxford and Cambridge and a bill
would be introduced on the subject of education
in Scotland. With respect to the question of
transportation of criminals, it was tho determina
tion of the government that no more oonvicts
should be sent to Australis, and consequent upon
this determination a measuro would be brought in
respecting secondary punishments. Immediately
after tho Easter recess the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer would bring forward his financial state
ment; and the Lora Chancellor would, in a few
days, state tho measures contemplated for the law,
and the landlord and tenant question of Ireland
would be considered iu select committee, to bo so
constituted as to afford a prospect of arriving at a
final settlement of the question. The amendment
of tho Parliamentary franchise was one of the
measures in the contemplation of government, but
lie (Lord John Bussell) was of opinion that this
subject ought not to bo introduced or discussed
during the present session. Immediately afterthe
commencement of the next session it would be the
duty of the government to introduce a measure
upon this important subject.
The following motion stands on tho books of
»the House, although no particular day is appointed
for its discussion.

The monthly shipping list shows an enormous
increase in the number of ships destined for Aus
tralia. Ninety-five vessels, nearly 40,000 tons, are
announced to sail tho present month from the
Thames, besides eighty from Liverpool, and others
from different outports. Several of these vessola
are foreigners of small tonnage, intended for con
veyance of merchandize. There ia great specula

have risen considerably, Sit a £8 being asked for
fine goods to Sydney and Melbourne; liquids £2
pcrlihd.; rough goods £9 a£6 155., steerage pas
sengors£'22, but the more prudent shipping house*
are withholding freight in the expectation of a fall
of 2or £3 per ton. Emigration, even at this early
poriod is going on withgrcatactivity, and promise
to extend as the spring advances, the applications
for passage being more numerous than usual from
tho remote parts of the country and from thernral

Correepondence of th* Baltimore American.
Steamers between California, China and Japan.
Washington, Feb. 90.
A proposition of nnnsnal interest, and one which is
slotting the liveliest attention from the intelligent
and leading members of Congress, has been submit
ted by Mr. Ambrose W. Thompson, to establish a
line of steamers between the Western coast of our
eountry and eastern Asia. The line is to consist of six
steamers of not less than 8000 tons; each steamer
to be pierced and ready for mounting of the heav
iest batteries for war purposes, but in times of
peaoe to carry always four guns of the largest cali
bre. In the oourse of their voyages, they are to
perform the naval service in the North Pacific.—
Thoy will thus afford the most ample protection to
the whaling and commercial marine in these seas,
and completely relieve the government from the
necessity of keeping a naval squadron at that dis- ,
tant and expensive station. By careful examina
tion it is found that this will be a saving o{ one and i
a quarter milliontp/ dcllare per annum to the Navy
Department. This line is to make semi-monthly ;
trips between California aDd China, tonohing in
going and returning at the Sandwich Islauds, and I
at some port in Japan, so soon aa communications j
are opened with that Empire.
For this service a contract is asked for ten years, j
the government to allow the ooutraotor to receive
the amount of postags whioh may be oollected
from mailable matter transmitted by the steamers, j
To aid in the immediate establishment of tke line, !
it is asked that one-half the amount wh'oh tha
Postmaster General may estimate will arise from
the postal service shall ha advanced in bonds of I
the Go vernment —payable at the end of the oontraot 1
term—and one-half of the monthly receipts of the 1
line are to go toward the payment of this advance '
by Government. The fairness of this preposition, <
its feasibility, and the practical manner in which it
is put forth, together with the known ability of t
Mr. Thompson to carry oat the project, are gaining t
friends rapidly to this most Important measure, t
and there is new soarcely a doubt es the passage of l
a bill to effect the object by the present Congress. i
Accompanying the proposals are statistics of the ■
trade with China and the east, mado np from offi
cial sourees, which are somewhat startling. Ape- ,
riod of sixty years is selected, ending with 1852. ,
In that lime the imports of teas into Great Britain ,
from China has been in the aggregate 1,945,882,-
851 pounds, and the present yearly import is about !
56,000,000 pounds. From this trade the govern- *
ment ha* derived a revenue in the sixty yeare of ,
1910,545,016.
The present annual revenue of Great Britain, (
from this tea trade alone, is over twenty million* of j
dollar*. The entire importations of all descrip
tions of goods from China to the United States in
the same period of sixty years is only $258,858,28*. ‘
Our exports in the same time havo been 86,260,- 1
264, leaving to be paid in specie $172,598,049. The .
courses of trade and the national balances are also 1
shown,and it it seen that of this amount of specie. r
$92,415,27* has keen paid to England for bills c
drawn on China’s aooount. These bills are oansod
by England shipment of opium to China from her f
East India possessions, and theshipment of cotton a
goeds. They briDg China annually in debt to «
England some $*0,000,000, while we are out off
from the shipments of our own oottons by want es f
proper facilities, and are therefore indobted to i
China annually from six to eight millions of dollars. W
The oonsequenoe is, that England draws our pre
cious metals and robs our industrial classes by her c
superior mail facilities. This is shown by* state- i
mant of one year’s exports of eotton from England
and from the United States. t

Tho amount of property afloat on the Pacifle J
ocean is also shown. It is put down at 1,284 sail,
aggregating 408,169 tons, employing 34.000 Amer- .
ican navigators. The total vaine of this property .
is estimated at $70,000,000. In case of a war with
England, it eonld be swept from the ocean by her
steamers in the Eait India and China sens before !
any armament could be sent round Cape Hern for
its protection. The statistics presented by Mr.
Thompson, together with the map showing ail 1
the British mail lines, and the manner ia which ;
Europe, Asia, and North and South America is \
surrounded by them, has afforded an amount of :
information whioh has never before been present
ed to Congress or to the American_people. Near
ly eight years ago, Ambrose W. Thompson sug- .
f ested this line to the administration of Mr. Polk,
t was then favorably received, and but for the
Mexican war, would havo been establiehed. Since
then Mr. Thempson has steadily pressed forward
the subject, regardless of the obstacles whioh have
been placed in his way by that class of envious
speculators who have not the ability to oonocive,
bnt who invariably rush In to compete for anvthing
which superior ability may point out. By that
class Mr. Thompson h»s been constantly beset,
and counter-plans and misrepresentations have
been placed before tho oommittce and urged upon
1 members. The energy and perseveranoe of the
original proposer, has however, kopt always in ad
vance of them, and he has now a fair and almost
■ oertain prospect of snooess. Should the line be es
tablished, mails and letters can bo delivered In
1 New York from China in 40 days, by tho preseut
1 mode of conveyance from California, and if the
railroad is made aoross the country, in 14 days.—
i Thiawili render all Europe dependant upon us
. for mail facilities s* well as for the proaact of
i Eastern Asia.

Last Saturday was a prond day with the people
of Tronp county. The first passenger oar arrived
at the Depot on that day, ana the joy and exhilara
tion among the populace oan better be imagined
than described. All was anxiety and manifeit in
terest! Many whe had never before seen the
wonderful ingenuity of the immortal Fulton, look
ed with breathless curiosity upon the Samson-like
power of the Engine, and at its unsurpassed bur
then velocity.
At eleven o’elook, a meeting was organised in
the Court-hanse, by oalling Hon. Hn. A. Haralson
to the Chair, and requesting Jas. Bussell, Esq., to
set as Secretary. Atter somapreliminary arenas
ments of the meeting, Hon. E. T. Hill was oalled
upon to address the meeting. He responded to
tne call with his usual plain and ohaste manner of
speaking, for near half an hour, and wa do not
know when we were more interested in a railroad
speech for years. He eommenced at the begin
ning and followed up all the embarrassments of
the enterprise to its oempletion to this point. He
told the people of its singular and lucrative ad
vantages, and convinced all present, we trow, of
the great propriety of a general system of Internal
Improvements. If we were not so muoh pressed
with business, and had the proper time, we would
report his speech in to tot But a want of proper
time forbids this at present. Suffice it to say, that
Judge Hill’s speeoh was one ohsraoteristio of the
man—one ia every way appropriate to tke oeoa
sion; and did much honor to himself, the oaaso of
railroad improvements, and the community in
which he lives. The people of InGrange, end of
Tronp oounty, are under many binding obligations
to him, for the interest and influence he has ex
hibited for their welfare, and by whioh they have
a market, at it were, at their own doors.
Jndge Alexander Speer wea then loudly oalled
for, and in response to the oall, gave ns a first rate
speeoh on the origin of railroads in Sonth Caroli
na, and their ultimate triumph ia Georgia. Hie
remarks were to the point in every reepeet. The
utmost enthusiasm was manifest during the whole
meeting.
After the meeting adjourned, wa all retired to a
bountiful Barbeoue, prepared for the day, at the
Depot. We all feasted sumptuously al the table,
and had “enough sad to spare” for all. The
day was quite inclement, whioh, of course, hinder
ed many from attending; bnt, regardleea es thia,
there were many more than w* anticipated, nnder
all the circumstances. The eoolterf, w* are proud
to say, was never surpassed by eny Barbeoue on
any former oecaeion, and all passed off quietly and
with a unity es feeling daring tbs whole dey.
“Onr Band” aleo did mueh honor to themeelvee,
in the performance, and es eoars# received the
heerty thanks of tne whole eommuntty far their
servioes. _ . _
LaGrango will be, In a few yean, on* of the first
olasa commercial inland town* in Georgia. Be
eanse, first. Troup county is the meet extensive
agricultural eeotion in the State; second, beoans*
her citizens are determined that eh* thaU be. All

proximating counties in Alabama. All hands t*
the wheel, and w* will make a demonstration that
will slmos startle onrselves, and double, in point
of population end eommereisl effaire, in a few
years.
When dinner was over, the congregation re
turned to the Court-house, when Hon. Hn. A.
Haralson reaomed the Chair, and B. J. Morgan
was requested t* sot as Secretary. The object of
tho mooting was explained to be the raising of
funds to build the contemplated Bride# acres* tht

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 11.—At the date or oar last circular
advioes, per America, on the 4th inat., our eotton market
closed firmly, the ealee amounting en that day to 13,000
balea. On Saturday the Inquiry continued, and foil prieaa
were currently paid for 10,009 baiee. On Monday the
Arabla’e advices were to band, raporting rathar lower
pricee in the American markati, and the prospect of the re
ceipts keeping full up at the ports for some wooks to come;
this cauaed some little disappointment, anl our market
loat Us buoyant tone, the ealee only reaching 0,000 kalee.
On Tueeday and Wednesday holder* offered very freely,
and th* demand being moderate, pricee were barely main
tained ; the ealee tummed up 9000 balea each day. Yester
day there wae more doing; the demand, however, wae
freely met, and althongh tha ealee amounted to 8,000 bales,
the market closed very quietly at prlca* slightly lower than
the quotations given on Friday lest.
The total salee of the week amount to 60,150 balea; of
which 19,640 are ta speculators, and 1,490 to exporter!, and
include 19,460 balea of American; of which 16)100 are to

Compared with the dosing of Vrlday last, ws hare to re
port a re-action in the tone and feeling of our ootton mar
ket, for the adrices per Arabia, at hand on Monday, re
porting lower prieee and large receipts at the ports, with
the prospect of their still continuing so for some weeks,
caused considerable plsappointment, inasmuch as the rery
reverse was anticipated from tbs tenor of the Paclflo’s ad
vices received on f rlday last; so that as operators evinced
little inclination to follow up their speculative movements,
the market soon presented a dull and gloomy aepeet; the
causae ailed ed to in our last report, ae then exercising a de
pressing lainenoe on the market, still existing, vie: the
fear of a further advance In the rateofdiseeunt by the
Bank of England, and the very large addition to be made
to our stock by the first week es westerly wind, which at
present prices, would admit of a speedy sale at a moderate
profit. The confidence consequently manifested in the
prospect es a slight advance upon present prices has been
again shaken, and cannot, we think, be restored, even in
IQs face of higher prices In the American markets, unless
the receipts at the ports so fall off ea to Indioate mere clear
ly a total crop not exceeding 1,000,000 to >,100,000 bales.

LIYIRFOOL, fob. 11.—The aotivity that prevailed last
week, bad subsided by the middle of the present week.—
Teeterday the demand Improved again, but eotten being
very freely oflhred, prises of Americans, except es the bea
ter qualities, are slightly easier.
The week’s sales amount te BO,ICO bales, Inducting 11,400

M ANCHISTRR, f eb. 11.—Subdued in temperament and
feeling,- business eemmenced tamely, which was net im
proved by the Arabia's advioet from new fork; purchas
ers acting with extreme caution, attempted to give prices
a revolution dowmard*; this producers evaded by falling
back upon former oontraeta yet incomplete, which for the
present has kept prices steady, suhieet to any advantage
either party may hereafter obtain. As the Week progress
ed little or no change was observable from Tuesday’s mar
ket, for although baslneee has been garment, yet generally
prices have been tolerably steady, allowing fora very
slight inclination In favor of buyers.
rant.—Spinners have scarcely been firm In their de
mands,—and buyers availing themselves of a quiet Ootton
market, have succeeded In placing out orders under the
range of last week's currency, the toneef business being
sluggish, with more willingness to accept oontraets. Wa
ter Twist—with lest attention, Is slightly depret ted with
out a quotable change In value. Mule Tarns maintain
thslr ascendency with considerable briskness. Oop Twist,
Warps and Weft—scarcely to saleable; purchasers offer
leu money and buy sparingly. Doubled tarns—at steady
rates, are in moderate demand, fine Taras, compara
tively steady and firm.
OlM.— Buyeri at the commencement of business en
deavored, and partially succeeded In placing out seme or
ders below the selling price of last week, manufbetnrers,
however, being mostly engaged working to order, thla hu
formed the exception and not tha rule. Printers:—The
demand still continues for light tt Inch cloth, at foil and
firm prices; the inquiry also for >7 and M inch widths Is
ooosiderable, at steady ratea. MouselUne-de-lalnu ;
Difficult to sell, at very low prices. Jaoennsts and Msda
pollams:—ln moderate request. MadspoUams particu
larly, are In good demand and very firm. Twillstt and
40 inch command attention at steady valne. Shirtings:
t-S 44 and M Inch, In W, 47)4, and BA yards, continue to be
disposed of, at full and extreme prices; 5-4 40 and 4B inch
cloth,soluble for the Bastern demand, Is scarcely so active
as of late, yet there is no qnstabls alteration In value. T
and L Cloths Not so lively as formerly advised, the turn
ing point being la favor of buyers. Domestics Have
been more in reqnest, yet the demand Is not of sufficient
magnitude to reduce stocks beneficially for manufacturers.
Fustalns, Cords, Velveteens:—Move off slowly but steadi
ly : prices remain much as before, without improvement.
