SOUTHERN MASONIC FEMALE COLLEGE.
PIIN IS»TITtMTOft, located at Covington, Newton
county, Georgia, was adopted by the Grand Lodge of
this State at its last annual Communication held in the
city of Macon, and now presents its claims to the world,
under the auspices and patronage of that Grand Lodge.
In making this announcement, it is desired to be distinctly
understood thst, while the College is now recogrixed as
the Protege of the ancient and honorable Order of Free
and Accented Mubodi, and U designed as the exponent of
its noble purposes, and the agent of its liberal charities, it
was never intended that its general benefits and pr viieges
rhould be restricted within the limits of the Masonic Tie.
Its Hails are, therefor , unreservedly thrown open for the
inspection and patronage of an enlightened and discern
ing Public, who are assured that, although the creeds and
tenet* of no particular moral or religious organizati n will
be inculcated or enforced throughout the course of literary
pupilage, all will be respected, and the Word of God and
the principles of piety, enforced with parental kindness
and affection, will ever be regarded as the primwn mobile
of disciplinary rule, and the happiest corrective of youth
ful aberrations. In short, it was the original purpose of
the founders, and is now the design of the Grand*Lodge,
that in this Institution, devoted to all that is pure in mo
rals, sound in faith, and lovely in the mind and manners
of Woman, the Bible should be enthroned in its sanctuary
of “ Light,” and shed its hallowing rays over the whole
curriculum of female studies and the formß of College duty,
softening the asperities of human nature, and consecra
ting the affections of pupil and instructor, anticipating the
necessity of a sterner discipline, and preparing the way
for that unobtruvive yet influential and enviable position
in alter life, which awaits cultivated, refined and pious
woman. The College edifice is a chaste, beautiful and
durable brick building, flanked in front by two elevated
quadrangular towers, with an open portico or verandah
between, and situated in a beautiful and retired grove,
quite convenient to most of the private residences of the
village. The Institution is already supplied with a large
and well selected Philosophical and Chemical apparatus of
the newest and most perfect models, for instruction and il
lustration In the important department of the Physics!
Sciences. The Board of Trustees, under the direction of
the Grand Lodge, have elected Rev. ALEXANDER
MEANS, A. M. M. £>., late Professor of the Physical Sci
ences in Emory College, to the Presidency wf this Institu
tion, and we are happy to say that he has consented to
accept that office. For the personal character of Dr.
Means, and his entire ability to meet any educational re
sponsibilities which he may be willing to assume, a dis
cerning public will require no new guarantee, as he is ex
tensively and favorably known throughout this and other
States His reputation, in connection with the Georgia
Conference Mannal Labor School, from its commencement
unti< the opening of Emory College, and his continued and
popular labors in that Institution from its very beginning
to the present time, warrant the opinion that no one is
more ably qualified than himself for sustaining the high
trust now confided iu him. His well known urbanity of
manners and suavity of .Msposition, his high order of in
telligence and well regulated piety, eminently qualify him
for the management and control of a Female College.
Dr. Means is authorized to visit the North during the
present Summer or Fall, and select, under his own eye,
such additions to the Philosophical and Chemical apparatus
as the progressive advancement of the age, in that de
partment, may furnish, and as shall enlarge and complete
the set we already have, so as to give a commanding im
portance to there branches of science, and allow the pri
vilege of rendering attractive and enforcing the claims
about the kitchen and fireside, where woman presides. M.
C. FULTON, A. M., an experienced teacher, and lately
connected with the board of instruction in Frank’in Col
lege, (the BUte University,) a gentleman of amiability and
worth, who has heretofore had charge of the Southern
Masonic Female College since Its fir t organization, lias
been elected Vice-President, and will continue his services
to the College. The Board of Trustees will spare no pains
to furnish an able Board of Instruction, as well for the
solid as for the ornamental branchesof a female education,
as the wants of the College may demand. Further in
formation will be furnished to the public, when the details
of its present organization have been completed. The
public are respectfully notified that the next term of Col
legiate duties will open on Wednesday, the 24th day of
AUGUST, instant, and it is desirable that young ladies,
who are intended as pupils, should, if possible, reach the
place a day or two before the opening of College, in order
to make satisfactory arrangements for board, and be ready
to enter the respective classes without delay.

convenient, with the name of the owner distinctly mark
ed on the bag or bale , that all the patrons of the establish
ment may be accommodated in due time.

As there has been tome complaint of my Gins, made du

to this matter la due Mr. Cbkxlt. i
I have been absent a great portion of this time, on a
visit to the North, experimenting and getting up a new
Gin, as well at improving, the original Saw Gin, together
with suitable machinery for this business, to its highest
perfection, as will be acknowledged by all who have used i
them, both in durability and quality ofCotton.
I shall now devote my Individual attention in the shop,
and see that every part of each Gin is pat up in the neat
est possible manner : in short, I shall make the origin.if
Oglesby Gin, which has been so celebrated for its durabil
ity and fine Cotton, having taken the premium in this State
as well as that of South Carolina in every instance except
one, and then it was said by foreign dealers that iny Cot
ton was of a superior quality. In conclusion, my late im
provements added to my former Gins, cannot fail to give
entire satifaction. I will alter any old Gin (not too mnch
worn) lo do better work thanitever did before.

MISCELLANY.
Mn. Levers la BeglseA
The New York Exprtu publishes the following
extract of s letter from thepen of oar accomplished
country woman, Mrs. Levert, of Mobile, who is
receiving suchjust and distinguished honors in
Great Britain. It evidently was not designed for
publication, but as it gives such a natural and
graphic description of her reception at Court, the
Express has thought proper to give it publicity :
“I most, unexpectedly received an invitation to
the Court hail of Queen Victoria. It is the eti
(juetteof the Court that uo one shall receive ar.
invitation to attend the hall who has not oeen
presented at the preceding drawing room. All
my friends regretted so much when I came that
the last drawing room had taken place, for not
even a Peeress- of the realm could be invited
unions she had been previously presented. Well,
in spite of all this, your Mend received an invita
tion, and attended the bail. I entered the room
in company with Mr. Ingersoll and suite, aud pre
cisely at ten, the glass doors hew open and the
Queen walked up a long line of noble ladies, pre
ceded by the Lord Chamberlain. First came the
Queen of England, and by her side the Queen of
Hanover, then the Duchess of Kent and the Prin
cess of Prussia, the Duchess of Cambridge and
Princess Mary, the Duchess of Sutherland, and
the Maids of Honor. Next came Prince Albert and
the King of Hanover, the crown Princess of Prus
sia. the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Saxe-
Coburg, the Prince of Saxe Weimer and the gentle
man lordsin waiting, all passingon to the Tnronc,
upon which the royal personages seated themselves.
The Queen is small, and although not handsome,
she has a bright cordial smile, which lights up her
face charmingly. She dances with groat grace and
spiritj and is as unaffected as a child. Prince Al
bert is a splendid-looking personage, but now
quite bald, and rather stout.
“The Lord Chamberlain was introduced to me,
and said as I was not present at the last drawing
room I must be presented to her Majosty. He
commanded a space to be made in front of the
Throne, and lords and ladies all stood back, while
I was taken up to her Majesty and presented in a
special manner, in the presence of the crowned
heads, and the rank and beauty of England. Her
Majesty arose and greeted me with a most cordisl
bow, while I made a low courtesy before her, then
to the other sovereigns by her side, and to Prince
Albert. When I mingled again in the crowd it
was amusing to overhear the whispers. “Who
can it be?” “Oh, some one of great distinction,
or her Majosty would not have honored her
by Buch a special reception.” At last an old
duchess said : “Why it is an extraordinary clever
person from America, who is treated quite like a
queen in her own country.”
“There were 2,000 persons present, and I of all
that number only had the honor of being pre
sented to her Majesty, ‘Madame America.’ I as
sure you the compliment paid me of such a parti
cular presentation soon mado me the ‘observed of
all observers,’ and the ball was a scene of en
chantment to me. Just fancy 2,000 people, every
lady in the richest toilet, glittering with diamonds
and precious jewels; every gentleman in uniform
or in court dress; then the delicious music, the
beautiful statues, the splendid pictures, all made
it a glorious spectacle, well worth a voyage across
tho Atlantic to behold.”
A correspondent of the New York-Evening
Sdirror furnishes the following account of this in
teresting incident:
London, July 7,1853.
Mr. Editor :—lt is oommonly the case that
among ns Americans wo charge the English cha
racter with a distant and cold manner towards
foreigners, and yet I nm quite firm in the belief
that when strangers aro properly introduced, there
oxists here no lack of kind hospitality.
An illustration ofthis has recently occurred to
one of the fairest, most talented and esteemed of
our proverbially “fair” countrywomen. Mrs. Oc
tavio Walton LeVert, of Mobile, arrived a short
time since, and instead of hurrying off immedi
ately to the continent, the usual course of Ameri
can tourists iu Europe, decided to tost the cha
racter of English hospitality, and judge of society
here for horsclf. She canto provided with tho
host introductions, and her own hoepitable recep
tion of Lady Emeline Stnnrt Wortly in Alabama,
enlisted in her favor the marked attentions of tho
Duke of Rutland’s family. The Duke is the fa
ther of Lady Emeline.
Since Mrs. LeVert’s arrival here she has been
called upon, and received tho most amiable atten
tions from many of tho nobloand aristocratic fami
lies of England : among whom 1 may enumerate
tho Marquis of Granby, Lord and Lady Warncliff,
Lord und Lady John Manners, Earl Jemyn and
his daughter, the Lady Elizabeth Harvey, Lady
Alfred Harvey, Countess Jersey, Capt. Stuart
Wortloy, and of Mrs. Milnor Gibson, and Joseph
Hume, Esq., M. P.
Her arrival hero after the last Drawing Room
for tho season, rendered it impossible in the
opinion of hor friends that she could reccoivo an
invitation to the Queen's state ball then about to
tako place ; but tho interest made iu her i ehalf
cnußod tho usual etiquette to bo varied in her case
and tho Lord Chamberlain was commanded by
her Majesty to invite Mrs LeVert, and she re
ceived tho usual Court card accordingly.
It was a brilliant scene ! Tho King and Queen
of Hanover—many foreign Princos and Princesses
of distinction—hor Majesty and Princo Albert—
the nobles of tho laud, with the great officers of
Stute, and a glittering throug, were there when
Bhe outored—the only person present who had
not previously gone through tho formula of pre
sentation at a regular drawing room. Tho Anto
rioan Minister and Mrs. Wiloocks (his neico, who
by the way, is much estoemod and beloved byall,)
were at hor side when the Lord Chamberlain ap
proached, and said her Majesty was graciously
pleased to direct that Mrs. LeVert ho now pre
sented dy Miss Wiloocks. He wuved hie wand of
offico and tho company gave way for the approach,
and sho was presented in due form as Madame
LeVert, of America.”
Her Majesty most gracefully bowed as this lady
eourtosied before her. Sho then conrteeied to the
Queen of Hanover, the Duchess of Kent, and to
Prince Albert—who formed part of tho Royal cir
cle. As she passed amidst the throng of dnkes
and Ducliossos, lords and ladios, there wore whls-
Borsof “Who isshe!" “Who can it be f” “Her
[ajosty honors her by a peculiar and special re
ooption !” “Sho must boa person of some dis
tinction ?” When an elderly lady with a diamond
coronet, replied to some one, eotto voce. “Why,
it is an extraordinary clover person from America
—quite a queen in her own country.” This un -
usual scone and tho attention it naturally attract
ed, gave Mrs. LeVert at once a stamp of distinc
tion, which many would envy. Sho was afterwards
presonted to many of the most distinguished per
sons at the ball; and as she conversed fluently, and
with porfoot case and grace which characterize hor
as a linguist, with foreigners in their native lan
guage of France, Spain and Italy, they all seemed
quite amazed when she assured them (for you
know sho is very pr»ad ofher country,) she was
an American. » must describe her dress on that
occasion, tor it was in the most perfect taste ; and
as much as I have fbrmorly seen of herin America
—amid the gay at Saratoga and elsewhere I never
Baw hor looking so lovely. Hor dress was modoled
after that of tho Princess Mary of Cambridge’s,
and as your lady readers will at least understand
it, my description is as follows;
It was a white laco robe, richly embroidered In
silver, trimmed with boquets pink and silver
convolvules. The hair dressed a 1(1 Marie htnart,
and ornamented with flowers of pink and silvern
diamond necklace, bracelets and brooch. It fitted
horgraooful form to perfection, and amid the regal
splendor around, her costume was conspicuous fur
its clegaifco and good tasto.
Butthis was not all. In a scene so new, so dat
zliugevon to those practised inoourt splendor, the
“observed of all observers,” in being taken up and
presented to the Queen of England, one might
fancy some hesitation and tremor at least; but no.
sho moved up and retired with perfect grace and
entirosolf-nossession, as if such saenes were ob
jects of daily occurrence with her.
Indeed, this trait of self-possession has been re
marked upon here, as well as her rich and varied
powers of conversation ; and no stranger oould
have made so many friends, and of the higher
classeain soshortatime,hadshe not been really
eminently gifted, as this lady certainly is.
Many persons in private lifo here have been
most attentive to Mrs. LeVert, for her letters were
not ODly to the aristooraoy, but to the.mercantile
and literary. Our kind and hospitablo country
man, Georgo Peabody, Esq., unable himsblf, from
illness, to call in person, has been most attentive
through his partner, and placed his box at the
opera, the other day, at the disposal of her party,
and thoir entrance thereto was greeted by three
magnificent bouquets Mr. P. bad provided for the
occasion.
Sho has been taken to both Houses of Parlia
ment, to drive iu Hyde Park, to the studies of
Baron Marochctee*, Sir R. Westmacott, <fcc., vis
ited at tho residence of Camile Toulman, (now
’ Mrs. Crosland) aud from every one who has come
within the sphere of her acquaintance the most
kind and obliging attentions. Bhe assures me she
is enchanted with all she has seen and all ahe has
heard, and that her gratification for all the polite
ness conferred upon her is beyond expression. I
have written you too long a letter, but am afraid
it is but an outline. I know you will feel all the
pride I feel that one so beloved and esteemed in
our own country has been so honored and admired
in the land of our ancestors, and now with many
kind remembrances, I remains yours very truly.

The Booea Affair.
Among our files by the Washington, we find
copies of correspondence between John P. Brown,
the American Charge d’Affaires at Constantinople,
ia the absence of Air. Marsh, and Baron Brack, the
Austrian Envoy. The notes of Mr. Brown are im
portant, as settling the fact that Koeta had taken
the oath of allegiance to the American government,
and thereby entitled himself to its protection as a
citizen of this republic, in whatever portion of the
world he might alterwarda need it. We highly
approve the manly canduct of Mr. Brown, and
censid- r the decisive and direct yet coteous style
of his communications to Baron Brack as deserving
warm commendation. We trust the issue of this
affair will be each as to vindicate the spirited ac
tion of onr representatives by land and sea.—

Leoation or Tax Exited States at
Coxbtaxtixoflx, June 27.
Moneieur Vinter nonce: I have the honor to ad
dress your Excellency on the subject of a most un
fortunate occurrence, which I am informed by the
Consul of my government in Smyrna, took plaoe
there on the 28d ins'.., and which! very deeply de
plore, inasmuch as it resulted in the death ot a
young officer of the Austrian navy, who has thus,
most probably, without in any manner having been
the cause of the unwarranted attaok made upon
himself and his companhns in Smyrna, been the
victim of the most inconsiderate and unaccounta
ble conduct of the Austrian consul of the oity to
wards an individual named Martin Koeta.
This person, at the present moment incarcerated
on board the Austrian brig-of-war Hussar, now at
Smym-’, is, I believe, one of the Hungarian refu
gees who had been detained at Kiutayah. Togo
ther with others, he . was permitted to leave the
country in 1851, and he proceeded with them to
the United States, where he took preliminair steps
towards becoming a citizen of the United States;
that is, he made a formal renunciation of all alle
giance to any other power or sovereign what
ever, and took the usual oath of allegiance to
the government of the United States. A few
months since M. Kosta came to Smyrna from
New York, with the design of again proceeding to
the United States. In the afternoon of the 21st
inst., while seated on the marina of Smyrna, he
was suddenly set upon by some fifteen ruffian
Greeks, all armed, said to have been employed for
that purpose by the Austrian eousul; and. after
having been treated in the most brutal manner,
was thrown into the sea, where a boat was waiting
to receive and condnot him to the Austrian brig
Hussar.
M. Kosta, on leaving the United States, received
a legalized copy of the declaration which he had
made there of allegiance to the Government of the
United States, and which document, under ordi
nary circumstances, would recommend him to the
friendly aid and consideration of the American
authorities.
It cannot bo conceived here that this individu
al’s temporary residence in the oity of Smyrna
could possibly excite the animosity of the Aus
trian Consul to such a degree as to oause him to
employ a baud of armed ruffians to attack him, at
a moment when he evidently had no reason to ap
prehend such an outrage, und to have him con
veyed in an ignominious manner on board an
Austrian vessel of war.
It seems to me rather, that in case his presence
there incommoded the Austrian oonsnl, the latter,
at the most, would have called upon the Austrian
authorities to require his departure, and not by an
act of so outrageous and inbnmsn a nature, excite
the indignation of the inhabitants of Bmyrna, and
I do not doubt it, also ot the people of the United
States.
Permit mo, therefore, to intercede with your ex
cellency, in behalf of Mr. Kosta, and to ask, if not ,
out of the respect due for the government of the
Sultan, whose territory has been so grossly violat- ;
cd by tne conduct of tho Austrian consul at Smyrna, .
at least out of regard for the government to which .
he has pledged Sis allegiance, thst yourexoellency ,
be pleased to give orders to the commander of tho
Hustar for his immediate release, bo that he may ,
proceed to the United States. _ ,
I avail myself of the present opportunity of re- ,
newing to your excellency the assurances of my ,
highest respect and most distinguished considers- |
tion, (Signed,) John P. Brown.

U. BBtJOK TO HU. SHOWN. I
Buyckdsri, Monday, June 27. i
Monsieur le Charge d’Afairee: By your favor of (
this day’s date, yon havedomanded the liberation
of a certain Martin Kosta, arrested by orders of the j
consul-general of Austria, at Smyrna, on the 22nd t
instant. _ I
I can only attribute, sir, this intervention on I
your part to s mistake, as the individual in ques- i
tion is a native of Hungary, and has never ceased i
to be an Austrian subject, as results from his de- ;
deration made in presence of tho Consul of the
United States at Smyrna. His arrest consequent- i
ly, took place in virtue of the treaties whioh as
sure to my government the full and entire inde- i
pendence of ite jurisdiction over all its subjects in i
Turkey. i
You will easily understand then, M. le Charge
d’Affairs, the absolute impossibility of complying ;
with hour request. _ |
I beg you to reooive the assurance of my high (
consideration. Bbcci. ;
To Mr. Bbown, Charge d’Affairs of the United ,
States of Amerioa. i
To the above, Mr. Brown sent the following re-
Legation or the United Stateb or America,
Constantinople, Jnr.e 29,1858.
J fonsieur l'lnternonce: —l have jnst received the
letter which yon were so good as to write me un
der date of the 27th of this month, on the subject
of the individual named Martin Kosta, arrested
»t Smyrna on the 21st inst., by the Austrian Con
sul.
Ism readily convinced, sir, that the means adop
ted by the Austrian Consul to affect the arrest of
said individual could not merit your approbation;
and also, 1 do not feel myself at all called upon to
express an opinion upon the right which you men
tion as possessed by your government over all its
own subjects in Turkey.
I canuot, however, deny myself the honor of
once more addressiug your excollenoy for tho pur
pose of renewing the official intercession which I
have already felt it my duty to make in behalf of
this person; and so as to enable your excellency
to better appreciate the basis of my request, I have
the honor to hand you (inclosed) the declaration
which M. Kosta made at New York On the 81st
of July, 1852, “renouncing his allegiance to the
Emperor of Austria,” and taking an oath of alle
giance to the Government of the United of
Amerioa. . ....
The right of expatriation and of naturalization is
recognized, I beheve by the government of Aus
tria, as well as by other governments; and it
seems to me that the arrest, (without again men
tioning the means whiob the Austrian consul at
Smyrna used to effect it;) of the said Kosta, upon
the neutral soil of Turkey, after the act of alle
giance, made by him, will be regarded by the go
vernment of the United States as being not only a
very painful violation of those same rights of natu
ralization, but also, in consequence of my inter
cession, as a want of respect and regard towards
my government, of which the impression will be
with difficulty. I would not leave your
Exellencv ignorant of the preceding facts ; but
rather, by communicating them to your Exoeltency
relieve myself of all the responsibility whioh the
arrest of Kosta, and the consequences which may
grow out of it, may leave in the mind of my go
vernment and countrymen.
It was on presenting this declaration to the con
sulate of the United States of America at Smyrna,
and to this legation, that tho slid Kosta was fur
nished with a teshereh to come to Constantinople,
and to return to Smyrna, whence he was to start
for New York. Since hisarrival at Smyrna he has
resided in Turkey under the protection of my go
vernment, and it is a pleasure to me to be able to
state that his conduct nas always been irreproacha
ble. His fidelity to his native land—the only
crime of which he is accused—leads him to declare
himself always an Hungarian, and to state that he
wishes even to meet his death as such.
Your Excellency will pardon me if I thuß renew
my intercession in his favor. I beg your Excel
lency to be pleased to have him delivered over to
the local authority of Smyrna, to be sent again to
the United States. This fact will be learned by
the President of she United States, lam confident
with satisfaction, and prevent the painful and ex
traordinary news of bis arrest being again the
cause of the interruption of those friendly feelings
between the respective oountries which I sincerely
have it at heart to reconcile and cultivate.
I beg your Exoellenoy to receive renewed assu
rances of my high consideration, Ac.
(Signed,) John P. Brown.
A Model Candidate. —One of the Mississippi
papers thus describes the electioneering quali
ties of a gentleman who has just been nominated
for a high office in that State. There are suoh
men in other States, and the reader can think of a
good many names with which to fill the blanks:
Judge , the candidate for .has no qual
ity which distinguishes him from the great nerd
of mankind, except a peculiar and fascinating
manner of extending to you his five digits, and
of saying “ how are you !” and trotting a baby
on his knee, and grinning at the mother, and
winking slyly at the resin-heeled gals, as they are
called. He is not the first, man, by a long shot,
who has introduced himself to public notice by
the flexibility of his spinal oolumns and the grace
ful bend of bis dexter elbow. He has a sort of
“ Home, sweet home” manner of saying “ Good
morning John," which is said to make the
“ bov’s” hug up to him, and of saying, “ How d’ye,
sonny,” “ That’s a nice little miss,” which goes
plumb to the hearts of the well pleased ma’s; and
then he is said to be the very Napoleon of the
“ bran-danoe”—has such an every day, good na
tured way of squeezing the fingers of nis partner,
who “ curohiee” and blushes, and when she sits
down by her lover, says, “ What a nice man
Judge is; you ought to vote for him, Bill.”
Death of a Veteran.—We find the following
paragraph going the rounds of the papers:
“ Brevet Major Francis C. Hall, of the D. 8. Ma
rine corps, commanding at Gosport, died at Nor
folk on Tuesday week. He was a native of Mary
land, and entered the servioe in 1126.”
This announcement will fling a shadow over the
hearts of many, who, like ourselves, haves store
es pleasant recollections of the deceased. His his
tory was more eventful than the above simple no
tice wonld imply.—Major Hall was a midshipman
in the Navy more than half a oentnry ago, and as
bnch, was one of the offioers of “ Old Ironsides,"
when she was fitted out for hermemorabie cruise un
der Preble. Coming into possession of a handsome
fortune, however, ne retired from the service, mar
ried, and settled on his estate in Maryland. Sub
sequent reverses induced him to enter the marine
corps as a subaltern, at an unsually mature period
of fife. In this corps he had advanced, by the
slow promotion of a comparative seniority, to the
rank which he held at the time of his death. Al
though, while in this capacity, he saw his old com
panions in command of squadrons, his mind was
never soured by jea ousy,bnt a genial, cheerful,
generous temperament bore him tightly through a
green old age, securing for him the good will of all
who were associated with him, old and young. The
regrets of many friends will follow the gallant Ma
jor to the grave.— Mobile Adz.

DETAILS OF NEWS BY THE BALTIC.
The Northern mail yesterday bronghtua the de
tails of the news by the Baltic, from which we ex
tract the following:
The Baltic has a very heavy cargo, and nearly a
second cargo bad to be refused tor want of room.
The export to America has seldom, ifever, been so
active from Liverpool as it is at present. At the
sheds of the Canard Comp»ny, at Coburg dock,
there is also a larger collection of goods than the
steamer could at all accommodate.
The ship Ebenezer, at Liverpool 24tb, brought
intelligence of the total destruction, by fire, of the
packet ship 1. Z., on the 7th inst., in lat. 40 deg.,
long. 62. The I. Z., of 750 tons burden, sailed
from New York July 2d, under the command of
Captain Spench, for Liverpool, with a cargo chiefly
consisting of turpentine, corn and cotton. She
was owned by Messrs. Zeraga ot that city. The
captain and all hands, twenty in number, were res
cued by the Ebenezer and lauded at Liverpool.
The Turkish difficulty is considered as settled—
at least the public in England and France so ac
cept it, although the Czar has not signified his as
sent to the proposition, and there are several tick
lish points still untouched. We have no indica
tion whether the fleets will first withdraw from
Turkish waters, or the Russians from Turkish tcr
ritory. Neither seemed disposed to leave. Both
the Sultan and the Czar having accepted the medi
ation of Austria, a decision will emenato from that
power, or, more likely still, the terms laid down by
France and England will be made the point de de
part for further (peaceable) negotiation.
In Cotton a iarge but inanimate business doing,
mostly for home trade and export, at previous quo
tations. Breadstuffs firm,but the weather clearing
up, market closed with less spirit Funds dull.
Manufacturing industry active.
Great Britain.—ln Parliament Sir Do Lacy
Evans put the question why the extracts of correa
pondeuce respecting Cuba, ordered more than
three months since, had not been laid before the
House. Lord John Russell promised to inquire
into the delay.
The Colonial Church Regulation bill was read a
third time, and passed iu the Lords. The Com
mons had further discussed the bill to regulate the
Government of India, tho Succession bill, and oth
ers of minor import. Mr. Hume has obtained an
other committee on the subject of the slave trade.
Mr. Gladstone’s scheme to free from stamp duty
newspaper supplements containing advertisements
only, was affirmed by tho Commons by a division
of 95 against 50. This measure is intended solely
as a sop to the Times, no other papor in'Britain
publishing supplements of tie nature referred to.
An unsuccessful attempt to launch the new 90
gun ship, Coosar, was made at Pembroke, 21st. Tho.
ship slid along the ways about half the distance,
and thero stuck fast, where she still remains.
A grand review of the fleet at Spithead, by the
Queen, is spoken of, to take placo in the begin- i
iDjj of August. Twenty-seven ships of war, car
rying 1423 guns, are to take part in the manauvres. i
Os these vessels, 14 have anxilliary steam, aud s(x
are paddle wheel steamers.
The Leeds’ Chamber of Commerce have peti- 1
tioned against the provisions of the proposed ten <
hours’ labor bill. i

The accounts of the potato crop continue hope

France. —Judgment has been given in the affair
known by the name of the “Commune Revolu
tiounaire.” On the 12th of April a number of in
dividuals were arrested, under the charge of form
ing a part of a secret society, at the head of which
wero several political refugees, residing in Eng
land and tho United States, and already condemn
ed by default for other offences.
These persons, among whom wore Felix Pyatt,
Caussidierre, Boichet, and a number of others ar
rested, were put on trial for affiliation to a secret
society —attack on the Constitution—excitation of
hatred against the government, and divers other
charges. After three days trial, the Court adjudg
ed Caussidiere, Pyatt, Boichet, Louis Avrif, and
Bougee—all absent—to 10 yoars imprisonment, 10
years surveillanco and 6,000 francs fine each, and
the others—except Merlet and J angenie acquitted
—to various terms of imprisonment from five years
to six months.

They say that the Italian Couut Popoli has just

Madame Munoz, Queen Christina, is said to have
deeper plans than appear as the ostensible object
of her present residence in Paris. Madame’swell
kuewn ability in intrigue, of course, cuts off all
sources of reliable information ; but the story
goes, that her maternal solicitude aims at nothing
short of placing one of the young Muuozes on the
throne of Mexico! The idea of converting Mexico
into a monarchy is uot anew one, and is received
with wonderful favor by that extensive class of
Europeans who are dissatisfied with—what they
arepleasod tocall—the “cupidity” of the United
States. The plan of Madame Christina Munoz is
to marry her eldest (Munoz) daughter to Prince
Napoleon and to set up the young couple with a
royal or imperial throne in one of the South Ame
rican States. Mexico is tho most desirable State
for the purpose, but the difficulty arises that Santa
Anna wants to be king himself, and is trying hard
to effect an alliance with Spain, with that object.
Although this looks very much like gossip, there
is believed to be considerable truth in it. The in
terest that Christina took in the affairs of Ecuador
in 1846, the encouragement given to Gen. Flores
by the Spanish Government of that day, aad the
facilities offered for recruiting from tne Spanish
troops are not to be forgotten. The scheme,
therefore, of a South American monarchy is, like
ly enough, still entertained, and might be more
easy of realization were a matrimonial connection
effected with a member of the Napoleon family;
for what Spain could not do of itself, Spain and
France (supposing Spain to take an inteiestin en
throning a Munoz in America) might do together.
Germaht.— A despatch from Frankfort, July 28,
states that the President of tho Germanio Diet has
given to that Assembly “the most satisfactory

from Bussia.
Denmark.— The Vienna Lloyd’s makes the im
portant assertion that the Cabinets of England and
Denmark are in active correspondence on the sub

sented to the Emperor Francis Joseph a letter from
the Czar containing the most pacific assurances.
The greatest confidence in the maintenance of
peace prevailed at Vienna, and the final settlement
of the dispute was expected by the end of August.
It wsb thought that the Austrain Cabinet, having
at length become alive to the dangers that would
grow out of war, were really using their endeavors
to bring about a settlement, but the cavalier tone
in which they were treated by the Czar had galled
the Austrian mediators exceedingly.
Italy. —Appreheusionsare entertained through
out most parts of Central and Southern Italy ot a
deficiency of breadstuffs this year. In Tuscany,
the wheat harvest is below expectation, and grain
will have to be imported: the quantity of foreign
corn in ware-honses is small. From Ravenna we
have tbe same accounts of apprehended scarcity
in the Roman States; the dencienoy had caused
some disaffection at Feenna and Imola.
The London pspers ssy that the Austrian police
are closely watching the preparations for s new in

with talse passports. _
An encounter had taken place between the Tus

made no preparations to cross the Danube. Their
forces were being concentrated at Shumla, and they
were engaged in Pravadi, a town between Shumla

“Sir—lt ia right the public should be informed
that Captain Kofite, the Hungarian refugee, who
was recently taken prisonerat Smyrna, never gave,
and as a subordinate officer oonld not give, the

during the detention of the Hungarian refugees in
Turkey, it was suggested te them that a promise
never to return, might facilitate their liberation:
but the condition was not accepted by them, and
Gen. Meszaros, late Minister of War in Hungary,
answered with characteristic manliness—‘no con
ditions, but liberty.’ ”
That liberty was given to them without any con
dition; and Capt. Kosta, well known in onr army
as a brave soldier, left Turkey with Gen. Meszaros,
and arrived, with one hundred of his fellow conn
trymen, on the sth of June, 1851, at Southampton.

Reply or the French Government to the Ruulu
Note.
Tlie Minister of Foreign Affairs of France (M.
Drouyn de L’Hnys,) has issued the following cir
cular note in behalf of his Government in reply
to the second note of Count Nesselrode. It is
this note of the French Government to which the
Minister of Foreign Affairs in the House of Lords
alluded whon he said that the British Government
bad issued one in strict accordance with it:
Paris, July 15, 1853.
Sir: —The new despatch of Count de Nessel
rode, which the Journal de St. Petersburg pub
Ushed on the day following that of its transmission
to all the Legations of Russia, has produced on
the Government of the Emperor an impression
which his Imperial Majesty has commanded mo to
communicate to you frankly.
We cannot but lament to see Russia at tho very
moment when the efforts of all the Cabinets to
bring about a satifactory solution of the present
difficulties afford proof of their moderation, assume
an attitude which renders the success of their ne
gotiations more uncertain, and which imposes
on some of them the duty of rejecting the respon
sibility which has been vainly attempted to be at
tached to their policy.
I have no desire, sir, tc? resume a discussion
which has been exhausted ; but as Count Nessel
rode still alleges, in support of the pretensions of
Bt. Petersburgh, tbo onenco which the Port com
mitted against it by disregarding the promises
made to the Russian Legation at the period of the
first settlement of the question of the Holy Places
in 1852, I am bound to repeat that the firmans
issued by the Sultan, after the mission of Prince
Menschikoff, have removed all foundation for
that sole complaint; and that if there be any Go
vernment, which has a right to express well
grounded complaints, it is not that of his Majesty
the Emperor Nicholas.
In fact, on the 10th of March last, Count Nessel
rode, who had just received despatches from the
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, congrutu
lated himself and Gen. de Costelbajuc on a result
which he regarded as a happy termination of the
question of the Holy Places. M. Kisseleff in Paris
made a similar declaration to me, and everywhere
the agents of tha Cabinet of St. Petersburgh held
the same language.
The demands subsequently put forward by
Prince Menschikoff, when tho principal object of
his mission had been attained, and when his re
turn was already announced, had no connexion
whatever with those demunds, whose accoptai ce
he had already obtained from the Porte. These
latter constituted a new question indeed, a diffi
culty of a graver kind which was raised at Con
stantinople, and at tho very moment when Europe
for a moment alarmed, was told by Russia herself
to reassure itself.
Taken in some sort unawares by exigencies
which they had no reason to suspect the existence
of the representatives of France, Austria, Great
Britain, and Prussia, at Constantinople, honostly
and loyally direoted their efforts to prevent a
rupture, the consequences of which might be so
fatal. They did not advise the Porte to resistance
of a nature to expose it to the most serious dan
gers, and, while admitting unanimously that the
demands of Russia too closely affected the free
dom of action and the sovereignty of the Sultau
for them to permit themselves to give an opinion,
they left to the Ministers of his Highness alone
the responsibility of forming a decision. There
was, therefore, on their part, neither pressure nor
intermeddling of any kind, and if the Ottoman Go
vernment, thus left to itself, declined to subscribe
to the conditions attempted to be imposed on it,
it is clear that it inußt have found them totally
incompatible with its independence and its dig
nity.
It was at such a conjuncture, sir, that Prince
Menschikoff quitted Constantinople, and broke
off all diplomatic rolations between Bussiu and
the Porte, and that the Powers, bound by their
traditions and their interests to maintain the
integrity of Turkey, had to trace their line of
conduct.
The Government ot his Imperial Majesty, in
accord with that ef.her Britannic Majesty, con
sidered that the situation of affairs was too mena
cing not to be closely watched, and the squad
rons of France and England soon received orders
to proceed to Besika Bay, whither they arrived in
the middle of the month of June.
That measure, being one merely of precaution,
had nothing of a hostile nature towards Bussia; it
was imperiously called for by the gravity of the
circumstances, and was amply justified by the
warlikepreparations which for many months past,
wero being made in Bessarabia and in thp roads of
Sebastopol,
The motive for a rupture between the Cabinetof
St. Petersburg!! and the Porte bad, as it wero dis
appeared ; the question which might be suddealy
raised at Constantinople was that of the very exis
tence of the Ottoman Empire; and tho Government
of his Imperial Majesty will not admit that interest
so vast shall be at stake without at once claim
ing the part, both as to influence and action,
which properly belongs to its power and its rank
in the world. To the presence of a Russian army
upon the land frontier of Turkey the French Go
vernment had the right and the duty to a reply by
the presence of its naval forces nt Besika, in a bay
freely open to the ships of all nations, and situated
within those limits which treaties prohibit the
passing in time of peace.
For the rest, the Russian Government was soon
about to take upon itself to explain the necessity
for the movement ot the two squadrons ; for, on
the 81st of May, when it vas impossible to know
at St Petersburgh, where the news only arrived
on the 17th of June the resolution that might, bo
adopted by France and England, Count Nessel
rode sent to the Porte, in the form of a letter to
Reschid Pasha, a final ultimatum, with a brief do
lay, and which contained a very clearly expressed
threat of an approaching occupation of the Danu
bian Principalities.
When this decision had boon como to, with a
solemnity which no longer permitted a Govern
ment jealous es its dignity to modify it; when by
a circular, dated June 11, his Majesty the Em
peror Nicholas caused his resolution to bo an
nonneed to Europe, as if to render its execution
more iirevocable, our squadron was yet at Ba
lamis, and that of England had not left the port ot
Malta.
This simple comparison of dates suffices, sir, to £
show from shat quarter proceeded that initiative t
now sought to be denied, while the responsibility t
of it is thrown upon France and England ;it is f
also sufficient to prove that between the commu- c
nicationmadeto Paris and London of the propo t
sition made directly to Conssanlinople by Count i
Nesselrode, and the rejection of that ultimatum,
time was materially wanting for the Governments t
of his Imperial Majesty and her Britannic Majesty <
to exercise their influence at Constantinople one t
way or the other. No, sir ; I say it with all the <
force of conviction, the French Government in i
this grave debate has nothing to reproach itself I
with ;it repudiates from the depths of its con I
science, no leas than before Europe, the responsi- i
bility imputed to it; and strong in its moderation, 1
appeals in its turn to the judgment of the Cabinet. 1
Setting aside the so different objects of the two i
demonstrations, there was perhaps a sort of analogy i
betwcon the respective situation when the Russian
army was on 'he left bank of the Truth, and the
English and French fleets cast their anchor at Bc
sika. The analogy has disappeared since the pas
sage of the river which form the limits of the Rus
sian and the Ottoman Empires. ConntNesselrode
seems to admit this when he supposes the squadron
to be already within sight of Constantinople itself,
and represents the military position taken up by
the Russian troops on the banks of the Danube as
a compensation for what be calls onr “maritime
occupation.”
The English and French foroes do not, by their
presence outside the Dardanelles, infringe existing
treaties. The occupation of Wallachia and Mol
davia, on the contrary, constitutes a manifest vio ;
lation of these very treaties. That of Adrianople,
which determines the condition of the Russian
protectorate, explicitly states the case in which
that Power was to be permitted to interfere in the
Principalities; it was in case their privileges should
be disregarded by the Turkß.
In 1818, when these Provinces were occupied by
the Kussians, they were'a prey to a revolutionary
agitation which equally threatened their own se
curity, that of their sovereign, and that of the pro
tecting power. The Convention of Balta-Liman
established that, if similar events should recur
within a period of seven years, Russia and Turkey
should jointly take measures to restore order.
Are the previlegea of Wallachia and Moldavia
menaced! Have revolutionary troubles broken out
in their territories? The facta themselves answer
that at present no cause has arisen for-the applica
tion either of the treaty of Adrianople or the con
vention of Balta-Liman. By what right did the
Kussian troops pass the Pruth if not by the right
of war I—a war, I admit, the true name of which
they will not pronounce, but a war derived from &
new principle fraught with disastrous
oes, which one is astonished to Ms ‘ A
the first time by « Power • practised for
tive of Enron**- - t *> eminently conserva
in*»* '** - order as Russia—a principle lead
j nothing leas tbsn the oppression in time of
peace of weak States by their powerful neighbors.
The general interest of the world is opposed to
the admission of such a doctrine, and the Porte in
particnlar hae the incontestible right to see an act
of war in the invasion of two provinces which,
whatever may be their special organization, fqym
an integral part of her empire. Neitherthe Porte,
therefore, nor the Powers that might come to her
aid, would Violate the treaty of July 13,1841. if
Bhe were to declare the Straits of the Dardanelles
and Bosphorus open to the French and English
squadrons. The opinion of his Imperial Majesty s
Government is formal upon this point; and, al
though it does not think this opinion excludes the
attempt to find an efficacious means of conciliation
between Russia and Turkey, I have requested
General de Castelbajac to make known to Count
de Nesselrode the wsy in which we view the sub
ject, and to oommunicate this despatch to bim. i
also authorize you to transmit a copy to M—.

, Startling Commercial Statattea.
e The Journal of Commerce publishes tables of
the trade at the port of New York for the last
> month, from Which it appears that the Foreign Im
s ports during that montn have been greater than
: for any similar period since New York became a
1 port of entry. The nearest approach to the same
i total was in July, 1850, when the receipts, exclu
sive of specie, amounted to $19,246,278, or $682,-
775 below the total of last month. This large in
crease was not anticipated, the heavy receipts dur
ing the early part of the year having led to a gen
' "®J*f expectation of a decline toward the close.
This may yet be experienced in the remaining five
months, but the total for the year will be far great*
er than for any previous twelve months in the his

from Bremen for all States beyond, whose postage
to or from that city shall not exceed five cents the
single rate. On letters for States beyond Bremen,
whose postage to or from that qplace is over five
cents, the single rate between the United States
and Bremon is to be fiftoen i nstead of twenty cents.
Hence it is made for the interost of the German
States to see that their rate to Bremen is not over
five cents, that they may at once, if they please, on
joy the advantage of a rate not exceeding fifteen
cents to and from any part of the United States.
Tho order of the Postmaster General, giving no
tice ot these reductions and of the reduction of
postage also on pamphlets and magazines, will bo
found in another part of our paper.
Wo have receivod for publication the following
list from the Post Office Department:

Newspapers sent from the United States must
be pre-paid two cents each and pamphlets and
magazines one cent an onnoe or fraction of un
ounce. This is the United States postage only,
the foreign postage having to bo paid at tho
point of delivery. On all printed matterfrom the
Continent, by the United States and Bremon line,
the whole postage (United States and foreign) is
to bo pro-paid.
Unpaid lotters and newspapers and maguzincs
pre-paid as above for any of the following coun
tries may also be sent by the Bremen line, viz:
Alexandria, Cairo, Constantinople, Denmark,
Greece, Italy, (eastern towns of,) Norway, St.
Petersburgh, or Cronstadt, Sweden, and Switzer
land. Tho exact rates to those countries, so soon
as ascertained, will be givon by the Department,
and optional prepayment extended also to them.
We are glad to see the now Postmaster General
prosecuting so vigorously and successfully the
policy commenced by his late predecessor, of redu
cing and equalising and systematisinginternation
al postages. We nope that further succoss in so
good a work will crown his efforts. Tho reduction
which he has effected in the rates of foreign post
age on newspapers and pamphlets is very impor
tant.
Hon. W. L. Sharkey, who is yet Consul to Ha
vana, his successor not having entered upon the
duties of tho office, having been charged ip some
of the correspondence from Havana—from
whence more lies are sent to tho United States
than originate in any ono place this side of Bod
lam—with being implicated in releasing the steam
er Lady Suffolk, writes (beiDg now in Washing
ton) to the Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Maun,
that the whole charge is “ a fabrication” and “a
forgery.” He sayß also in reference to the alleged
certificate, that the forgery originated with Vivo,
the Mexican Consul, or in his office, and ho says
in conclusion: —
“ I will only add that during the time that I held
the Consulate in Havana, I have no recollection
of having given any certificate or 1 instrument in
writing,’bearing any resemblance to that describ
ed by the Mexican Consul. I know nothing of
any such ship or such persons as dei-oribed by
him. Perhaps I should add that Cienfuegos, the
harbor ill which it was said the vessel was lying,
is not within my consulate district. I had no
knowledge or control of vessels lying in that har
bor. It belongs to a different consulate; and 1
never performed any official aot for vessels or per
sons not within my consulate.”
Every one knowing Judge Sharkey, knows that
he is incapable of a falsehood or of a mean action,
and in regard to tho Lady Suffolk we were author
itatively informed when in Cuba last spring, that
he made himself particularly •obnoxious to the
Slave trading parties there, by his promptness in
exposing what he believed to be tho true charac
ter of that vessel soon after her first arrival from
the United States. The origin of this affair is,
the Mexican Consul at Havana, granted a sea
letter, or passport, to an American ship, called the
Mary, supposed to be the slaver Lady Suffolk,
which had been sold by the American owner,
Win. Smith of Mexico, to a citizen. Tho Mexican
Consul proposed to base aotion on writing Irans
mitted so him by the Consuljof the United States.
At this time the vessel was lying at Cienfuegos,
south side of the Island of Cuba. The dooument
granted by the Mexican Consul, does not name
the American Consul, who furnished the instru
ment of writing; but nevertheless the correspon
dence sets it down as referring to Judge Sharkey.
No such vessel as the American ship Mary, Wil
liam Smith master, had been at any time in the
harbor of Cienfuegos, and the, ship which carried
the American papers, fraudulently obtained, was
the slaver,- formerly the Lady Buffolk, which, un
der the assumed name of Marianna, arrived at La
guna de Terminos, about the 30. th of May last.
The British Consul at Hat-ana, (Mr. Crawford,)
under date of July 2»th in a letter to Mr. Robert
son, U. 8. Acting Consul at Havana, brought the
above named certificate to the attention of our
Government, he hearing no doubt of the fraud,
but asking for official information, which Mr.
Robertson furnished, accusing the Mexican Con
sul as Mr, Sharkey also does, with bad faith.— iv.

Beefing Topsails. —We are informed that a most
important invention has just been perfected for ,
the purpose of reefing topsails, claiming the fol
lowing Advantages: Fust. The topsail can be .
reeled from the vessel’s deck, in the heaviest gale, 1
bv the watch on deck, rendering it unnecessary to
oall all hands for the purpose. Second. The top
sail can be reeled without laying the sail abaci, or
changing the angle of the topsail yard—a most ;
important consideration when beating in a narrow
passage or when it is an object to save time. !
Thira. ’ Tho reefs are made much snugger, strong
er and handsomer, than by the old plan. Fourth.
The topsail can be reefed in less than one-quarter
0 f t be time required bjr the old plan. Fifth. The
wdlfeht of rigging aloft is lessened rather than in ■
creased. Sixth. The plan can be adapted to the
present right of vessels at small expense. The in
ventor of the above, »n old seafaring officer, is now
in this city, and is desirous of making arrange
ments with Borne business party to manage the
whole matter.— Baltimore Patriot.
Arrival or Giraffes. —Two living giraffes, one
measuring 17 feet, and the other 15 feet in heignt,
arrived here yesterday in thesheamsbip Washing
ton, from Bremen. They are said to have been
brought from Egypt at an expense of $25,000, and
will probably be exhibited here. A pair of gi
raffes imported here in 1836 did not long survive,
and it is donbtful whether these will be able to
endure the severity of a WinteT in the Northern
or middle Btates.— N. Y. Com.

MUUog Female College.
The undersigned attending the Commenoemer
Exercises of the Madison Female College, as
Board of Visitors, take pleasure in presenting th
following statement to the publio, as the result c
their inquiries and observations:
This Institution is located in one of the moat ac
cessible and beautiful villages at the South. Fo
intelligence, morality and refinement, the sooiet;
of Madison, is probably not surpassed by that o
any other community in our State.
The College edifice is a largo and handsom
building, three stories high, and its lecture an<
recitation rooms and chapel are spaoious and airy
and admirably arranged for convenience and oom
fort. The Institution is furnished with a superio
set of Philosophical and Chemical instruments
for experimental illustrations in these depart
ments of Natural Science.
In the Mnsicul Department there is a libera
supply of excellent instruments, and instructior
is given on the Piano. Harp, Guitar and Violin.
Although this Institution is yet in its infanoy,
it has already secured and shared au amount ol
public confidence and favor, most gratifying to its
projectors and friends, and well calculated to in
spire the most sanguine hopes in regard to ita fu
ture enlarged success and usefulness.
The total number of Students in the College de
partment, during the Collegiate year, just expir
ed is 185. In the Preparatory department, 85.
The course of study pursued, with the excep
tion of Greek and Hebrew, embraces nearly all
those branches of learning usually taught in our
male Colleges.
The examination of pupils commenced on Mon
day, and continued until Wednesday noon. In
every department of study, it was elaborate and
thorough—exhibiting convincing proofs of com
mendable industry on the part of the pupils and
thorough tuition by the Board of Instruction. In
dcod, we hesitate not to say, tnat the system of
intellectual culture and mental dißoipline in this
Institution is most rigid and wholesome.
Nor has the deportment of the young ladies
been overlooked. In the social and family circle,
aswcllasin the recitation room, their manuers
wore highly dignified, graceful and lady-like.
A discipline, affectionate and parental—a guar
dianship, vigileut and untiring, is exercised by the
Faculty over the students entrusted to their oare.
No pains aro spared to shield them from impro
per associations and evil communications and hab
its, and to infuse into their young minds and im
plant in their hearts those sentiments of piety
which alike enobles and beautify the female char
acter—and we are happy to bolieve that their ef
forts in this very responsible department of offi
cial duty have been most successful.
Tho Musical Department is under the able di
rection and supervision of Prof. G. C. Taylor and
Miss Ann C. Robinson, and the performances of
the young ladies, both vocal and instrumental, in
this very üßOful and delightful accomplishment,
were highly satisfactory and entertaining. We
consider tho Institution most fortunate in scouring
in this department such eminent talent and worth.
The ohapel was decorated by some vory beauti
ful spocimens of painting, drawing and embroi
dery, showing that this department has been en
trusted to skillful hands.
On Thursday, a crowded auditory was agreea
bly entertained in listening to the compositions of
the young ladies of the graduating class. The
snbjocts were well chosen, und oiaoussed with
creditablo tasto and ability. An elevated and mo
ral tone of feeling was manifest in this interest
ing and important department of mental culture,
showing conclusively that the heart as the head
had been cared for. The compositions were in
deed most excellent in thought and style, and very
distinctly nndgracefblly uttered.
In conferring the degrees, the worthy President
imparted some very wholesome advice to the
young ladies who woro soon to step out upon the
theatre of activo life, assume its responsibilities
and encounter its vicissitudes.
The interesting oxercises of the occasion closed
with a very eloquent and beautiful address horn
Col. Henry Hull, of Athens, whioh was reoeived
with marked approbation and pleasure by the
audience.
In oonclnßion, the undersigned would take oc
casion to cougratulute the publio upon the grow
ing interest overywhero exhibited in this State, in
tho good cause of montal enlightenment. Every
succeeding year witnesses the birth and consecra
tion of some new educational enterprise, for the
moro general diffusion of liberal and useM learn
ing among tho sons and daughters of our glorious
commonwealth. We trust the day is not distant,
when, in intellectual and mental culture, as well
as.in natural advantages and physical resources,
she may justly und proudly bear the appellation of
the “ Empire State of the South.”

British Post Office Estalishment. —Yesterday’s
return obtained by Mr. Charles Villiors was print
ed containing agood deal of information respecting
the Post office. It appears that the total number
of chargeablo letters delivered in the United King
dom in 1889, precedingthe first general reduction
of postage on the 6th December, 1889. was 75 907,
672, and 6,568,024 franked letters. Since the re
daction lotters have increased, and in the course of
last year 379,601,499 wore r delivered. The gross
revenue of tho Poßt-officoin the year ended the sth
January last was £2,484,826 16s. 7d., and the net
rovenuo £965,442 Is. 7«d. In the same period
£829,968 14b. 4d. was paid for the conveyance of
the mails by railway in the United Kingdom.
From the Ist January to the 81st December last
there wore 4,947,825 money orders issued in tho
United Kingdom, amounting to £9,488,277175. 2d.
and the nnmber paid was 4,942,859, amounting to
£9,423,719 2s. lOd. The money order office cost
£70,699. Tlie amount of commission received was
£82,888. The profit in England and Scotland was
£12,720, and the loss in Ireland £1,086. For the
five years there was a profit on the money order
office, except in 1848, when there was a loss of
£5,745. In 1852 tho profit was £11,664, in 1851
£7,487 ;in 1850, £8,236; und in 1849, £322. The
money order offleo return is signed by Mr. F. Hill
the assistant secretary.— London Paper.
The Liverpool Chronicle of the 21st ult,, contains
the following statement:
A Novelty in Commercial Announcements.—
Tho following notico, which was posted up on
Wednesday, in a most conspicuous portion or the
Exchange News-room, will convey a most satisfac
tory idea of the brisk state of the trade in fine
goods at present curried on between this port and
New York. Wo must premi-e that the Baltic only
ar.ived in tho Mersey on Thursday night, and will
not sail till the 27tb iust.: “ Cargo for the Baltic,
for New York, will be recoivod at the Hnskisson
to-morrow morning at eight o’clock.- In conse
quence of the great pressure of goods, shippers
will have to determine their priority of shipment
of goods now in town, and ready for shipment, by
casting lots at Brown, Shipley & Co.’a offico, this
afternoon, July 20, 1858.”
In obedience to this notice, about seventy per
sons presented themselves at Messrs. Brows, Snip
ly & Co.’s office In the couree of the afternoon,
when a scene of unusual interest and animation
varied the ordinary rontineof business; the draw
ing of the lots exciting as great interest as would
be displayed by agroup of gamblers around a rouge
et noir table. The Baltic carries out 700 tons of
goods; tho rate of freight, which has been raised
£1 since the Ist inst, being £5. The quays of the
Iluskisson Docks daring the last few days have
been entirely blocked up with carta loaded with
fine goods.
Ail Extraordinary Man.— David Wilson, an old
revolutionary soldier, and a native of New Jersey,
died, after a short illness, in Dearborn County,
Indiana, in August 1888, aged one hundred and
eevetiyeare, two months, and ten dayi. He had, at
different periods of his life, five wives, and at the
time of his death, was the father of forty -stem chil
dren I While residing in Pennsylvania, near the
old Redstone Fort, his wife gave birth to five chil
dren in eleven months I This extraordinary man,
when in his one hundred and fourth year, mowed
one week for Esq. Pendleton, ot Hamilton County,
Ohio, about two miles from Cincinnati, during
which he mowed one acre per day of heavy timo
thy grass. He was about five feet six inches in
height. His frame was not supported by ribe, as
the frames of ordinary men are, but an apparently
solid sheet of bone supplied their place. 110 could
bold up his hands in a vertical position, and re
ceive a blow from the fist of a powerful man, on
the lateral portion of his body, without incon
venience. He served throughout the entire Revo
lution, under Geu. Washington, was engaged in
most of the Indian wars Hince, and was the com
panion of Marion and Rodgers, and of many other
distinguished early poioneers of onr; Western and
Southern wilds. Our readers may rest assured
that this statement is correct, as we received it
from Mr. Alexander Wilson, of North Madison,
who is the forty-fifth child of the subject of this
paragraph.— Madison (la.) Banner.
REFonTED Trouble with Cherokee Indians.—
A letter from Fort Washita, Cherokee Nation, dat
ed June 30, states that Cal. Capron, Indian Agent
ibr the removal of the various wild tribes from
Texas,had been compelled to send to that port for
uid in consequence of a party of drunken Cbero
kees having come to his camp near Red river. It
appears they threatened the life of Col. C. by
drawing their pistols »nd guns upon him and his
party, and encamped within fifty yards of the Co
lonel’s eamp, threatening defiaacotoall who made
opposition to their movements, and military in
particular. Lt. Pierce, with a detachment of men,
immediately proceeded to his relief, and before
the Indians could seize their guns, he captured
and tied the whole party, and sent them to the
Marshal oi Arkansas, under Lt. Henry.
New Pristio Machine.— ln turning over the
leaves of the Report on Patents for the year 1852,
we met with the following brief notice of a very
uMeresting improvement in Printing Presses:
“‘The invention consists in the intioduction of
conical inking and impression cylinders. The form
is screwed on a revolving disk, either vertical or
horizontal in its revolution; the form passes under
the inking rollers and under tho printing cylinders
to receive the impression, so that one impression
is made at each revolution of the form. The coni
cal impression cylinder receives the paper under a
clamp hinged to the cylinder, and the clamp is re
turned at tho proper moment to deliver the sheet.”
The inventor of this simple but ingenious press
is Mr. John G. Nicolay, of Illinois, quite a youth.
Being a practical printer, but in his remote resi
dence never having seen a machine press, he
thought a great deal on the subject, and at length
matured the invention, the originality of which
obtained for it a patent. We saw him often here
during the timo his application was before the Pa
tent Office, and were as much pleased with his
modesty and intelligence as with the ingenuity ot
his invention, which appeared to ns to furnish a
, press at once simple, efficient and cheap.— National
I Intelligencer.
Gold in East Tennessee.— The Athen# Post ot

Vac Parc hue of Five Million! of Six per oent.
:t Btock -
The late Treasury notice relative to the pur
* chase of five millions of the six per oent. stocks, of
* 1867 and 1868, has rather had the effect oi making
I some of oar Wail street brokers laugh In their
sleeves. Mr. Gntbrie says that be will take in five
millions of the above stooks at any timo previous . 1
- to the first of Deeembei next at 131, besides the .
r accumulated interest from the Ist of July until
7 the timo of payment. By this mode he rclin- ,j
* quishes all the contingencies in his favor arising
from an European war, a money pressure or u
J commercial crisis, all of which are not only possi
> bie but probable, and auy one ot which occurring
> would depress tho value of these and other stock
2,4, 6, Bor possibly 10 per cent; and if on the
r contrary, oironmstanoes should be suoh as to on- |
> hance the rate above 121, of course he will obtain
nostook unless he also advances to the market
rate. He has now permanently fixed tliemiui
-1 mum value of the stock at 121 and interest, with
-1 out tho least ohanoe of obtaining any below that
rate, even if a state of things should ocour which
would otherwise have driveu the price down ton.
per cent. But even more than this, Mr. Guthrie
has voluntarily raised the price on himself, for the
sales at the Board in New York tbo day before be
issued this notice, were at 121 whioh, of course,
inoluded the interest from Ist July, wheroas he
offers 121 and interest, equal to 121%, and still
worse, the quotations by the last steamer in Lon
don, where so large a portion of theso stooks were
held, were from 119 to 119% at tho present rate
of Exohange on England, or two to two and a hay
per cent, lets than Mr. Gnthrie now offers to pay—
of course the price in England, so soon as the
Treasury notioe is known thero, will advance to
his rate.
Previous to the declaration ot tlio last semi-an
nual intereat on this stock, tho rate of it ranged
from 119 to 120%, and for a few days touched 121
with a declining tendency, but tho Treasury went
into the market in so injudicious and bungling a i
manner that it drove it up to 122%, of Ur paying
the July divitieiui, making tho price, including the
dividend, equal to 125%1! This result mid the
cause of it so apparent, induced the Secretary to
suspend his pnroliases, and camo out with the pre
sent notice, whereas, had ho uoted with tho tact
whioh an individual should have done, who was
desirous of bin ing up a largo amount of thiß or
any other atook, and taken it quietly from the
market aB it was offered, and not pressed his pur
chases in a manner whioh made everybody know
that it oould only he tho government that was
buying, he oould long before the Ist of Doccmber
havo nicked up more than five millions at far
more favorable rates—the promulgation of the fact
that thegovernment are willing and intend to buy
up five milliona of thiß particular Btook, will, of
course, render holders, particularly thoao in Eu
rope moro unwilling to part with it. If he had
adopted another course, he oould havo mado his
investments in any portion of the seventy millions
of six or five per oent. stocks ot which tno pnblio 1
debt is oomposed, according as tho rate of each re
apeoiive loan or kind might render it most advan
tageous to the Treasury.
Almost every other description of stock has re
oontly doclinea in value, but tho mauner in whioh
the Treasury mado its rocent purchases drovo up
the per cents to a higher rate than they ever before
attained, and when in consequence ot the ces
sation of these purohases they had already retro
graded 1% per oent, and wore evidently going
down towards the level ol other stooks, Mr. Guth
rie not .only checks the deoiine, but actually ad
vances it, by offering % per oent. moro than the
market prtoe—thero is no donbt that ho could have
made a positive contract with responsible parties
for the delivery of the five millions of this stock on
far more favorable terms, and the stock only to bo
’aid for as delivered; but such aoontract, or a oon
■ract for the delivery of any other of tho United
States stooks on reasonable terms, is now of course
out of the question after he has shown his hand,
and bound the government to buy this five mil
lions at snoh'an unnecessary high rato.
Another objeotionable featuro to Mr. Guthrie’s
notioe, bo far as the Treasury is ooncerned, is that
part iea are allowed until the Ist of December to
deliver the atook, whioh with the intoroßt up to
that petiod, will make it cost 128%, thus holding
ont an induoomont to parties to keep it back un
til then lor six per cent, interest, on such soourity
as U.B. Btook is at present a very desirable invest
ment, and this additional interest, of two por oent.
from Ist of August to Ist December, is of course,
a dead loss to the treasury, whero tho gold is lying
tdle in tho meantime. It would havo beon much
more advantageous, had the Scoretary agreed to
take tn tho stock at a higher rate, say oven at 122,
irovlded it was delivered previous to Ist Septem
ber, and thus saved the throe months interost
from the latter period up to let December.
It 1b to be hoped that this operation is not a fair
specimen of Mr.' Guthrie’s financial tact, nnd wo
are inollned to think that somo shrewd and inter
ested Wall street influence has been brought to
bear on the subject.—A’. Y. Express. 6
Mr. Evram’s Eloquxnoi —The speooh of Ed
ward Everett, at the late Plymouth oelobration,
has furnished theNew-York Journal of Commeroe
with an oooasioa for the following glowing com
pliment to that gentleman’s oratory:
Tue speeches of the Hon. Edward Evorott and
Hon. Biohard Yeadon, delivered at the Plymouth
celebration on tho Ist inst.,ure both ablo and elo
auont productions, worthy alike ol the men who
delivered them and the occasion that oalled thorn
forth. Thoy speak for themselves, and need no
comment from us. A word, however, on Mr.
Everett’s style of oratory. Cicero tolls us that al
most all other arts exist independently of rno an
other. excepting that of eloquence, which is the
art ofspeakingsensibly, skilfully and beautifully. 1
This has no determined limits within which it oan
be bounded. An orator must be eloquent upoii
every theme that oan be the subject of disquisi
tion. If bo cannot make it appear that he is capa
ble of this, he must bid adieu to tho profession of
eloquonoo* _ Few men of the present day approuoh
nearer to Cicero’s ideal of a true orator, than Mr.
Everett. His mind is not limited to any single
Bphere of action. It matters not what the nature
of the subjeot of whioh be treats, his productions
are always sure to strike us as those of a highly *
cultivated and erudite intellect. He is equally
ready for the exoitement of a popular assembly, or
for the weightier deliberations of national debate *
—equally eloquent in the festive hall, tho Senate >
chamber, or the lecture-room; and then there is a
a polishod dignity, and a flowing, classical precision
to his speech, which are but rarely met with in
public speakers of the present day. In his style
there is nothing of the charlatan and mountebank
—nothing of the subtle trickster, playing off his
spasms and hysterics for • thunders of applause.’
But, on the oontrary, all hiß orations and speeches 1
bear unmistakable mmks of a most refined and ,
highly cultivated taste, and they also indicate tho ’
greatest care in composition, especially in their
language and the formation of their sentences. I
Hib words glitter ‘like polished lances through
sunny fqrests,’ and oarry conviction to the hearts
of all who hear them. His sentences blaze with
the splendors of a gorgeous rhetoric, and ooho as
with the melody of some ancient minister. With
a rich melodious voice, and groat beauty and har
mony of diction, his speeoh occasionally blossoms
forth into a flno lyric enthusiasm, and anon gushes %
orer into a deep and beautiful pathos, which car- ' j
riea the listener along in a whirl of agitation and '
delight.”
Colored Statues.— Mr. Bryant, editor of the •
Evening Post, gives an account of the now experi
ment by an urtist of Italy in eoloring a statute:
The ancients, you know, coioredorpaintcd their -SK
statues, and this is supposed to have been done by j
lersons who made it their particular profession,
libson hasastatue of Venus,a very pleasing figure
the hair of which has been colored of a very light
warm brown, binding it with a fillet of tho moat "f
delioate blue, staining the eye with a dim azure,
with a tint of a crimson vein or two at the corners,
laid the faintest possible bloom on tho cheeks, i
touohed the lips slightly with soarlot, and suffused
ihe skin, over the whole form, with a carnation *
jußt perceptible, through which the blue stains of i
the marble, appear like wandering voins. Tliodra
>ery of the figure is left in the original color of W
.he marble, except the border, along which ru*i« a
double stripe of pale blue, with another of pale %
orimson next to the edgo. The effoet is ugrcoablo • !
far beyond what I should have exhected. The ' ’ ;
marble is deprived of all its appearance of hard
ness, aud tho statue has the look of u human figure
seen through soft miet; the Outlines seem to blend
with the atmosphere.
Japan.—A German traveler, Mr. Gerstaeker, ,jSf
who has published a volume of interesting travels, J
and whose powor of observation and trustworthi
ness particularly as regards countries little visited, * -|§
render him a desirable narrator, thus pronounces
on the results of Commodore Perry's expedition
to Japan:
“By love and kindness neither America nor
any other nation can expect to get anything out
Os the Jupauese. I have not the least doubt that
the Emperor will refuse to receive the Ambassa
dors, or, if he does grant then} an interview, he
will dismiss them again without even promises;
and yet the Emperor of Japan is not bo ignorant
of affairs as people commonly suspect. He has
all kinds—and the beat of them—of geographical
and historical works translated into his ianguuge,
and interpreters for nearly every country; and ho '1
is wide awake by thiß time as to what others are ‘8
about and what he is to expect. It is not likely
that he should be ignorant ot tho power of his
antagonist; still I do not think that he will be per- J
suaded to any thing; and then the question arises
If other nations will take what they cannot get
with free will: will it not be neccseary to fialne a
new order of laws stating the certain sum or
amount of property where stealing ends and jus
tifiable posaessiou oommences
“It will not be »nch an easy war with the Ja
panese thongb. The richest bees defend their
hives the most fiercely, and the Japanese are far
better soldiers than the Chinese; their coasts be- -
ing guarded by cliffs and rocks, while the unstea- ’
dy weather and sudden ga'es of those latitudes -il
are also in their favor against an approaching or f
orusmg enemy. The smaller islands may be
taken, I have no doubt-at least cut off from oon
“i?2“7. i i h l ?° larger , one fi bat hostile nations
w ..‘ the Japanese far bettor prepared for an
attack than they now suspect. Another difficulty
with the Japanese will be the impossibility of half
measures. If the Americans do force an entrance f?
at some point—and it is as likely as npt that they
• V B °T7 a ?? d ? not tttke the whole island, they , ' J
will be walled in, in a very short time, and pornnV
ted to Bee little enough of their neighbors. Still
the islands are too smalt to resist for any ieoeth of
time renewed attacks; and his Majesty wilfhave
to yield first his country aud then bis crown, 1
about as willing y aa the Caiiforn.a Indians, oi
Sikhs, or Australian blacks, or, in faot, all other
nations that have seen "heir countries overran by
strangers and enemies.”
Correct Sentiments.— The Commercial editor
of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, in the follow
ing extract, sets forth sentiments, the justice and
propriety of which shonld everywhere be recog
nized by those concerned in the management of
stock corporations : •
Every great enterprise which is not intended by
those exercising a controlling influence in its as- . 1
fairs as a stopping stone on whioh they may mount
to fortune at the expense of such of those who <
committed the trust to their hands, or.of the pub
llc at largo should be entirely and distinctly sepa
rated ITom tho operations of speculators., No
officer or aDV corporation claiming publio wmti
dence should ever be allowed directly or indi
rectly to buy or sell its stock for the purposes of
speculation. This will at last be the acknowledged
pnncples upon which suoh corporations must
manage their affairs. The public will be satisfied
w ith nothing short of it, and the longer its recog
nition is postponed, the more severe wil' be the
process by which atx-utlon to it will be enforced.
Ila bosrdof offioers con Id bo found of sufficient ’
purity of purpose, and freedom from the lailings
ot ordinary humanity, to have constant charge - ,
of the affaire of a Corporation while they are daily
speculating io its stocks, and still give no tnrn to
its business favorable to tlie.ir own interests, such A *
a discovery would be s more powerful argument
against the doctrine of total depravity than cun be
found in all the logic of the schools. Interest will
at last demand the removal from the connection
with snob trusts, of sll gr nnds for suoh a bias,
and those who will notvield to it must sink to the
Uvel wbieb they have digged for themeelve*.
