Front (he Richmond Enquirer, Match 2, A CABINET OF “MINISTERS !• Mr. W fester. e shall leave it to “Phocion” to draw the political portrait of the Premier. We shall reserve Ins str.ctures otr the War Course, the Abolition Notions, and the Federal Heresies of Mr. \V ebster, tor our next paper. In the meantime, we are prompted to say a few words in relation to the scene which was enacted in the Senate of the U. S. on the 22nd of Febru ary; the day, when Mr. \V. resigned his seat. The transactions oi that sitting are told in the Report ot the X. intelligencer. We shail first, give a rapid sketch ot the scene. As soon as Mr. Webster’s letter of resig nation had been read, “Air. Cuthbert of Ga. rose and expressed his regret that the Sena tor from Massachusetts (Mr. Webster,) was not present, as lie was desirous of putting to gentleman some inquiries as to doctrines time since put forth by him, in which the ffeopie of the .South had a deep and vital inter est, and in relation to which it had been said that the Senator had changed his opinions. If the Senator could explain in a satisfactory manner, he wonld stand much better with the Soutli than he now did. Mr. C. hid de layed adverting to the subject, under the im pression that the Senator, being about to make Ins resignaton to-day, would address the Sen ate in person on that occasion. “Mr. Clay expressed the deep regret fie ] felt that the Senator from Georgia should have i seized an occasion when Mr. C.’s honorable friend’s absence from these halls “Mr. Cuthbert here interposed, and protes ted against the idea that he had si ized the op- j portunily of Mr. Webster’s absence to make j the remarks lie had now done, or that it should for a moment be supposed he had ever shrunk j from expressing any opinion lie held in the ! presence of any man whom it might concern, j The document on which his remarks were | founded, and in regard to which he was desir- | ous of interrogating the Senator from Massa- j fhusetts, had been in his possession last ses sion, hut. he had declined at that time to use it, and it had been left behind him in the dis trict. He had directed it to he sent to him, hut this had not been done ; he had since used j every effort in his power to posses himself of it and hoped soon to succeed. Mr. C. had not known till a few days since, that it, was Mr. Webster’s intention to leave the Senate be fore the expiration of the session. He hoped, therefore, that the Senator from Kentucky would release him from the imputat oii of be- ! ing unwilling to express his sentiments in that Senator’s presence. It was impossible Mr. C. could, in this matter, be influenced by any party considerations, because, should the Senator he able satisfactorily to explain, the effect would he rather to weaken the influence of the party to which Mr. C belonged.” Messrs. Clay, of Kentucky, Preston, and Rives, rose in succession to shield tlio Prem ier from the blows of the undaunted Georgian. J) uring the interludes of their several speech- | es, Mr. Cuthbert rose to answer them, and de fine his propositions. When Mr. Clay sat down, he rose, and among other remarks asked, “What is tlio doctrine put forth by the Sen ator from Massachusetts, and, in regard to which, 1 wish to interrogate him ! It is prov- j ed by a document of the very highest authori ty. 1 regret 1 have if not now to produce, but ; 1 sli;i 11 have it, and will produce it, He there | asserts it, as indisputable, that Congress may pass laws to prevent the transfer of slaves from one State or Territory to another, Mr. Preston defended Air. Webster, and re ferred to Mr. Webster’s declarations at Alex andria last f limner, as perfectly sa isfao’.ory to every Southern man. Mr. Rives also inter posed his broad shield between the haUleaxe : of Richard, and the Honorable Premier. “Mr. Rives obtained the floor, but yielded it at the earnest request of “Mr. Cuthber*, who paid that lie had char ged these sentiments, of which lie complained, opcnlv on this floor, upon the Senator from M iH.sarhusatts some years ago, y.dion the po sition of that gentleman was nqt so important as it had now become, and tint, the Senator from Virginia had at that time joined him in pressing for an explanation from the Senator from Massachusetts. “Mr Jtives said he should )ike to know what was the purpose of 1 lie Senator from Georg a in thus pressing this subject of inju - ry ! What was his object ? “Mr. Cuthbert said ho would explain. 110 then repeated the declaration that, when pres sing the charge of these opinions on the Sen ator from Massachusetts, the Senator from Virginia ha ! united with him, and had expres sed to the Senator from Massachusetts his strong disapprobation ot those opinions. “.\fr. ltiyos said that the gentleman from Georgia was certainly mistaken. Mr. R. had I a perfect recollection of tlio leading circum- | stances, and did not join the gentleman troin ! Georgia, on that occasiott, in charging the Sen- j atur from Massachusetts with having promul gated the obnoxious opinion that it was com petent for Congress to prohibit the transpor tation of slaves front one Stuto to another for sale. He had no information on the subject. All ho had heard was from the gentleman from Georgia hi'.nselt. That Senator had as serted that the Senator from Massachusetts had, m some document adopted by a public meeting in Boston, advanced such soqti neats, and tins vyas all that Mr. R. knew about it— When that gentleman charged the fact on Mr. Webster, and pressed for an expiration, Mr. R. had been anxious to hear what reply would he made, but did put join the Senator in making the charge. “Mr. Cuthbert. I did not allege that the Senator from Virginia made the charge on Ins own knowledge, but 1 say, and I will ever repeal that the Senator from Virginia did, with earnestness and with great ability, press that > charge on the Senator from M issachusetts, I who,” in his reply, avowed the doctrine, and maintained and defended it on the cons’ itu tional power of Congress to regulate commerce between the States. 1 repeat, that the Sena- j tor from Virginia did enter into that debate, ai- , though ! admit that he obtained the tacts from mo.” * - t Mr. Rives said 1 have not a minute recol- j lection of all the c renmstauces so asto be able j to recall oyerv individual thing which passed ; j but, fortunately for the Senator from Georgia and myself, we did not spoak to empty benen *e. There must have been others who heard and who remember what passed. I recollect Invitm participated in every interesting de bate, ‘to which the Senator train Massacliu- . setts and other members of this body were j parties, on different topics connected with Seuthern rights. On tins occasion 1 remem- ! ber it was alleged by the Senator trom Ueor- J tria, that the Senator from M issachusetts had j advanced the doctrine that it was competent ! for Congress to prohibit the transportation ot slaves trom one State to another tor sale, and that he appealed to him to say whether lie had or not; but he did not recollect whether the Senator from Massachusetts had admitted or denied having done so. “[Mr. Cuthbert. No, no; he did not deny l.yjr. Rives- Let not the Senator trom Georgia involve me when he comes forward to iiake°charo , es against a gentleman who is not here present to defend himself; but, it he ad vances a charge, and its truth is denied, then the burden of proof certainly lies on him. HMr. Cuthbert. I can prove it, and 1 will.] “Vlr. Rives. 1 protest against the gentle man’s drawing me in to support his accusation £ a matter of which I have no knowledge. Vow I do feel it to be due to the eminent pub lic man who has just dissolved his connexion £th this body, and who has been arraigned f\r his opinions by the Senator from Georgia S a maE which, to say the least, is rather id-timed and unprecedented, to state what j. a ve been the declarations ot his opinions, on these same questions, within my own hearing, ‘ a Ta!c?y recent period. With that dtstingu.sh |ed gentleman I liave differeJ, ami still differ, jod some important questions of public policy. Rut these differences have never prevented me from feeling that his presence here was one of the proudest ornaments of this Hail, and that his withdrawal from it will ieave an intellectual void which generations must pass I away, in the ordinary course of Providence to men, before we shall see it filled with his like again. His talents and his reputation are the common property of his country; and for one 1 have ever looked upon th m with pride as ,an American citizen. If my honorable friend i from Georgia i [Mr. Cuthbert. I hope the Senator will ; drop the expression “friend.”] ! Mr. Rives. Most happily, if he says so. If the Senator from Georgia, then, had looked j a inquisitively into the evidence of the opin i ions of the Senator from Massachusetts on ithis important and delicate topic, which has been given to the world during the last four : or live months, as he seems to have done into those supposed to have been uttered by him twenty-odd years ago in a town meeting ot j ! Boston, he would have seen what he has said ; ’ under the most solemn and imposing ciiarac j ter. At the city of Richmond, in the month j iof October- last, on the sacred portico oi the ‘ Capitol of Virginia, before an assemblage of j ten thousand of her freemen —beneath the : ! hght of an October sun—in the face of Hea-. | veil—-he declared, in the most solemn manner, | under all die responsibilities of his character ; and station, that it was his well-settled and unchangeable opinion that there is no power, dire.ct or indirect* in Congress or the General Government, to interfere, in any manner what ever, in the slightest degree with the subject of slavery or the. institutions of tin: South. A de claration so broad, so complete, so unequivo cal, so emphatic, proceeding from such a man, in such a presence, could not but make a pro found impression. These memorable words are on record. They were taken down at /lie time, and they have been given to the world under the revision of the Senator from Mas sachusetts himself,” &c., &,c. “Mr. Cuthbert. I sav that at a public meet ing held in the city of Boston, on the subject of slavery, and for a purpose which the South cannot approve, a Committee was appointed to bring in a report. The gentleman from Mas sachusetts was Chairman of tbit meeting; and ! one of the resolutions reported by the Com- j mittee was in nearly the very words uttered ! by him on this floor. I would have called on j h in for an explanation before now, but I wish-! ed first to procure the document, that 1 might j bo sure I whs right. It shall yet be produced; j and I say again, that I am glad the eyes of the j country, the eyes of the whole warkl, have been turned to this proceeding, and to the he retical opinion advanced by the Senator from Massachusetts; * * “Now, if the Senator has changed his opin ion, is lie not hound to retract this expression of it! If he has formerly expressed an opin ion which he now knows to he false and un sound, if he knows, at the same time, that tint opinion, as his, has gained currency, and that it furnishes die very form in which the war is carried on against us, and if, under these circumstances, he refuses to do justice to the South, what must he his moral struc ture!” So much for the Scene in the Senate! now, I for the testimony which we are able to con tribute in support of Mr. Cuthbert’s position. YY r e have probably found the identical M. S. which he is seeking. We received it in Sep tember last—and we then made quotations from i in the Enquirer. We have transmitted the original to Air. Cuthbert—and it verifies completely the description, which that honor able Senator lias given of its contents —He has mistaken the time of its production. It was a memorial purporting to be “from the in habitants of Boston, against Slavery in-the Western Territories.” It was presented to Congress, and on the I2di January, 1820, it was referred to the Committee of the Whole on the Missouri State bill. The memorial fills more than 30 pages of M. S. It is a very elaborate, ingenious, and able State Paper— and in all probability was prepared by the pen of Mr. D. Webster. It is signed by 117 names; embracing Josiali Quincy, George Cabot, N. Appleton, &c., &c , and Air. Web-. ,-ter’s name stands the 1021 on the calender. If opens thus: ■•To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled. “The undersigned inhabitants of Boston, and its vicinity, beg leave, most respectfully, and fully, to report, That the question of the Introduction of Slavery into the New States, to he formed on the West side of the Missis sippi River, appears to them to be a question of the last importance to the future welfare of the United States.” The memori il then proceeds to argue tlie Missouri question, and takes the rankest pos sible ground in favor of the restrictions sought to be put upon that State. From the body of the constitutional argument, wo extract the following memorable passage, which stickles for the right of Congress to inhibit slaves from being carried from one State to another; and completely confirms Mr. Cuthberl’s state ments, and will, perhaps, brush by the memo ry of the Honorable Senator from Virginia. Hear this portentious doctrine; “ The Constitution declares that the migra tion or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress, | prior to the year 1808. “It is most manifest that the Constitution \ does contemplate, in the very terms of this cl; u r, that Congress po s the a.i lmrilv to prohibit the migration or importation of slaves; for, it limits the exercise of this authority for a specific period of nine, leaving it to its full operation ever aftevwanls—.and this power see ns necessarily included in the authority’ which belongs to Congress ‘to regulate com merce with foreign nations and among the sev eral States.’ No person has ever doubted that the prohibition of the foreign slave-trade was completely within the authority of Con, j gross, since the year 1808- And why? Cer- j tainly because it is embraced in the r gula-j tion of foreign commerce —and if so, it may j for the iike reason he prohibited, since that I period, between the States.—Commerce in slaves, since the year 1808, being as much j subject, to the regulation of Congress as any other commerce, if it should see tit to enact, that no slave should ever be sold from one State to another, it is not perceived how its constitutional rights to make such provision could be questioned. It would seem to be too | plain to be questioned, that Congress did pos ! s-’ss the power, before the year 1808, to pro i hibit the migration or importation of slaves in j to the Territories, (and in point of fact it ex- S ercised that power J as well as into any new States,-and that its authority, after that year, might lie as fully exercised to prevent the mi gration or importation of slaves into any of the old States. And if it may prohibit new States from importing slaves, it may surely, we hum, blv submit, make it a condition of the admis sion of such State into the Union, that they shall never import them. In relation, too, to its own Territories, Congress possess m >re extensive authority, and may, in various other wavs, eliect the same object. It might, for example, make it an express condition of its I grants of the soil, that the owners shall never j hold slaves, and thus prevent the possession ; of slaves from ever being connected with the | ownership ot the soil. “As corroborative of the views which have been alreadv suggested, the memorialists would respectfully call the attention of Con gress to the history of the national legislation, under the Confederation as well as under the present Constitution, on this interesting sub ject Unless the memorialists greatly mistake, it will demonstrate the sense of the nation at ever}’ period of its legislation ‘o have been, that the prohibition of slavery was no infringe ment of am- just rights belonging to free States, and was not incompatible with the en joyment of ail those rights and immunities wnich an admission into the Union was sup posed to confer.” Towards the conclusion of the memorial, occurs the foliow ing passage, which is in Mr. Webster’s occasionally ambitious style of composition: “ The AI s-souri Territory is anew country. If its extensive and fertile lieids sba.i be open ed as a market for slaves, the Government will seem to become a party to the traffic which, in so many acts, through so many years, it has denonuced as impolitic, unchris i tian and inhuman. To enact laws to punish j the traffic, and at the same time to tempt cu-. pidity and avarice by allurements of an insa tiable market, is inconsistent and irreconci e able. Government, by such a course, would only and *feat its own purpose, and render nuga tory its own pleasures. Nor can the law de prive support from the measures of the people, if the power of moral sentiment be weakened, ; by enjoying, under the permission of Govern i meat, great facilities to commit offences The laws of the U. S. have denounced heavy ! penalties against the traffic in slaves, because j such traffic is deemed unjust and inhuman.’ We appeal to the spirit of these laws. We I appeal to this justice and humanity. We ask whether they ought not to operate on the pre sent occasion, witliall their force. We have a strong feeling of the injustice of any tolera tion of slavery. Circumstances liave entailed it on a portion of our community, which can not he immediately relieved from it, without consequences more injurious than the suffer ing of the evil. But to permit it in anew country, where yet no habits are formed, which render it indispensable, what is it but to en courage that rapacity, and fraud and violence, against which we have so long pointed the denunciations of our penal code!” So much for Air. Webster’s former opinions! But Air. Rives seeks to whitewash him, by quoting Mr. Webster’s recent declarations from the Capitol of this City in October last. This is the time when the Honorable Premier came as it was said “ with a fraud upon his lips” to Virginia, in order to humbug us about his Jeffersonian, Democratic principles. He had to play a part.—and wretchedly though audaciously did he play it. After ail, what was the vast amount of his declaration from the Portico of the Capitol, under that bright October sun? Mr. W. declared in vague and general terms, that “Congress had no power, either direct or indirect, to interfere with the institution of slavery” in the South—hut does Air. YV. thus recant the heresy which he pro mulgates! in Boston, of the right of Congress to inhibit Slaves from being carried from one State to another! In the whole speech, too, he says not a word about slavery in the Dis trict, or of the right of petition, lie had voted against all of Air. Calhoun’s resolutions against receiving petitions. But we leave the scourge in Phocion’s hands. So much for one “'min ister of the new Administration. THE WHI I’E HOUSE YY’e call attention to the following extract of a letter from the Washington correspondent of the United Slates Gazette. Our readers will recollect the use made by the YVhigs of the pretended splendour of the President’s House. “Vou will see that the House of Represen tatives have allowed only an item of $6,000 for furniture for the P esident’s House. It has been the practice to appropriate $20,000 on the accession of anew President. In 1820, it is true, General Jackson was allowed only $14,000, but two years afterwards, he was granted an additional $5,000, and in ISS3, in commencing his second term, he received $20,000. AD. Van Buren received the same amount. And now by a majority of linir, t he appropriation (or General Harrison is cut down to SO,OOO. And in what condition does General Harrison find the executive mansion? Absolutely denuded of every article of com fort. Why the real comfort which he has est at his home in the west, far exceed any which Mr. Van Buren will bequeath to him, when he leaves the President’s House. He has already been obliged to give an order for beds anti bedsteads, to enable him to accom modate his family.”— lb. Great. Surgical Operation —Dr. Gross per formed yesterday, in the amphitheatre of the Medical Institute, in presence of the medical class and of a great number of the physicians of the city, one of the most formidable opera tions in surgery. It was that of applying a ligature arouud the subclavian artery for aneu rism, and we understand it was executed by the accomplished surgeon; in the most admira ble style. The subject of it, a robust man of color, attributes the enlargement and disease of the artery to an injury sustained, a year ago, by the recoil of an overcharged musket which he was shooting. He came from HaweSville, in this State, to submit to the op-, eration by Prof. Gross, and we learn, bore it with most heroic fortitude. We are happy to hear that the patient is doing well, and has fair prospects of recovery. This operation places Prof. Gross in the first rank of Ameri can surgeons.—Low? sville Journal. From the Savannah Rq>. Marck 4. FROM FLORIDA. By the arrival yesterday of the staamer Isis Capt. l’itcker, from Pilatka, we are in receipt of the annexed letter from one of our valued Florida correspondents. Capt, Pitcher reports that on Sunday, a se vere hail storm passed over St. Marys, (Ga.) which, with the severe frost, it is supposed, must have sev re y injured h; trail • tre©; in ;hat vicinity. Correspondent of the Savannah republican. FLORIDA. Feb. 27. Gentlemen--Since writing you last, nothing has transpired matorially t.o change the aspect of affairs in Florida. The General, it is hop ed, will stop the mouths of the grumblers by sending off some 400 Indians the first of next month, under Maj. Belknap, They are strongly guarded and well taken care of. Tho treacherous warriors in attempting to force the duplicate guards have been emigra ted to their celestial hunting ground; which seems •o have induced the balance to submit vuietly to the treaty, and try those of Arkansas first. If Congress will give Gen. Armstead money, 1 think he will end the war, and that too in the cheapest and must expeditions man ner. Yours truly. We have also received the St- Augustine News of Friday last, 26th ult, for which we are indebted to Capt. Cooper, of the schooner Frances, arrived yesterday from that place. The News appears to be alarm?d, :e t the treaty of Gen. Armstead will prve like all the others that have been made, and that alter the Indians have been furnished with the money, clothes and rifles promised, they will again be let loose to continue their reckless butcheries. The News says authentic information has been received that tiger-tail has taken “French leave,” and that the 300 Indians reported at Tampa Bav, have also given s‘rougindications of a is xasition to follow their lead?r. Irm the letter of our correspondent above, it will be seen that two of the treacherous warriors have met their fate in attempting to escape, and that the balance are strongly guarded, and we have no doubt, ere this they are on their way to their new home in Arkansas. Tha following items are extracted from the News: “The steamer Wm. Gaston arrived here on. Wed lesday, from Southern Post. No Inllan news. Harney was on a cruise of pleasure when the boat left- having caused operations against the enemy.” ET The present circulation of private Banks in England is over 830,000,000, and of joint stock Batiks near $20,000,000. —Savannah Rep.

The following account of the disastrous wreck of the steamboat Lamplighter, was re ceived yesterday, in a letter directed to the | editors of this paper, via Savannah. In our paper of Alonday, an article was pub llished, from Tallahassee, from which it was .concluded that all on board this ill-fated ! had perished—the steamer Caroline, Captain Pettis, having passed the Lamplighter in her ; distressed condition, hut could not.go to her assistance, “as his boat was too small to en counter a heavy sea, and besides that ho had on board a large number of passengers, among whom were several ladies, and that he was under contract to land at least a fart of his pas sengers, (Mr. Hart's Theatrical corps,) at Ap alachicola, during that day, (S.undayy Fortunately Capt Chase was under contract,” except such contract as should ever be paramount to all others, thal of rendering assistance to suffering humanity, at any and all hazards, thus saving the lives of six unfor tunate human beings, whom the. captain of the Caroline considered of less importance than that a Theatrical corps should reach their des tination at the appointed time. DEADMAN’S BAY, (E. F. ( Gvlf or Mexico, Feb. 16, 1841. \ Left St. Marks in the steamer James Ad ams, Capt. Chase, on the afternoon of yester day; having crossed the bar we parted with our pilot, laid our course for Cedar Keys. At 10 o’clock at night ran aground. 17th, found the sea liad left us on a soft bed of sand and broken shoals. From the deck to the East ward a man was descried walking in the wa ter towards the vessel. We supposed him to liave been an Indian. By the help of a glass, we came ta the conclusion that he must be a white man or a negro in distress. Hoisted a white flag, lowered the boat, Capt. Chase, Capt. Plummer, and three h nds went in her; took with them what arms and ammunition were ou hoard; rowed as far as the depth of water would permit them. Some of them left the boat, waded through the water until they came to him—brought him to the boat in a very exhausted state. From him it was learn ed that five more of his fellow sufferers were on a point of the main land about two miles South of where he was taken up. Captain Plummer manned the whale boat and put off in pursuit of them—found them and their boat; they had found fresh water this day, of which they made too free a use, also, oysters. These were also brought on board in a very exhaust ed condition. Their feet and hands were frost bitten—some of them very badly. Every means within the reach of the boat’s crew and passengers was used to restore and add to the comfort of these unfortunate njen. Too much praise cannot he bestowed upon the humane exertions of Capt. Chase, of the boat, and Capt. Plummer of the U. S. Army; also to Mrs. Grayson, the wife of Capt. Grayson, of the U. S. Army, who was a passenger on board, who rendered to the sufferers very im portant services—*a lady justly celebrated for her humane disposition, fine accomplishments and great vivacity of disposition. Our boat got off this day and proceeded on her way to Cedar Keys, But the most heart-sickening and heart-rending part of the tale remains to be told. On the 6th inst. the steamer Lamplighter, Capt. Woods, sailed from Alobile Bay for Ce dar Keys and Tampa Bay, with a crew con sisting of Capt. Woods; Swift, mate; S. F. English, Ist engineer; Davids, 2d engineer; 4 firemen, all Gerrffuis; 6 deck hands, names not known; Ist and 2d cooks and steward, names not known; Wm. YVibble, a ship car penter. The 2.1 cook was .a black man. Passengers. —Lt. Co ; t and lady, Mobile; Mr. Cost, his brother, do.; Mr. Hudson and lady, Buffalo, N..Y.; Andrew Dargan, Mobile; Capt. L. G. Alorton, Apalachicola; and a black girl, about 15 years of age. The steamer reached Dog Island, to the East end of Apalachicola Bay, on the 13th.— At 9 o’clock, A. At, she broke her shaft, cast anchor, and waited for assistance—none ap peared before the next day, when the steamer Caroline, from St. Marks, hound for Apalachi cola, with a company of players passed by—, they sent a boat to her for relief, with Lieut, Cost, his brother, and YVm. YVibble, the car penter. The Captain and Pilot of the Caro line deemed it unsafe to send to the relief of the sufferers then. The boat ro,vved (o the St. Marks Light House—procured a schooner, which, as fast as possible, hastened to the suf ferers; reached the spot, on Monday, the Isth, but, not a trace of her was to be found. On Saturday morning, it commenced blow ing a gale from the North, which continued with increased fury throughout the day. At 12 o’clock at night, it was discovered that the Lamplighter could not survive the gale many minutes; both boats were immediately launch ed; six persons got in one, and three in the other. The soa was so violent that the small boats could not be brought near the steamer, and eight of the persons leaped into the sea and swam to the boats. While arrangements were making to take the rest on board the boats, the steamer sunk, amid the cries and lamentations of those who sunk in a watery grave, to rise no more until the last trumpet sounds, and the sea shad give up its dead.— {t was with groat difficulty the persons on board the small boats extricated themselves, during the hurry and confusion incident on such occasions, to cut the fastenings so as to prevent the small boats from sinking with the steamer. These nine men and the two boats were left to the mercy of the elements, with out chart, compass, provisions, or water.— They were separated, and drove by the winds and the sea, to the Eastward. Os the six in one boat, the steward and a deck hand per ished with cold on the second day; one in the morning, and the other in the evening. -Of the three men in the next boat, the black man perished with cold the second night—the ther mometer at 28 degrees. On the third day, both the boats met at sea. The two who re mained in the smaller, went into tbs larger beat, which ran before the wind until Wed nesday morning, when they reached land in search of water, but found none before the next day, which was the day we brought them on board, having fasted from Saturday until Thursday. The names of the six persons, and now on board the James Adams, are—Capt. Woods; Mate, Titos. D. Swift; Engineer, S. J. Eng lish; A. Dick hand ; John Maares; Capt. An drew Dargan, of Mobile; Capt. L. G. Morton, of do.; and the three gentlemen who went in the first boat, to look tor relief, are all safe. The above simple, but melancholy narra : tive, was taken by me in the presence, and with the approbation of five, out of six, of the sufferers. DAVID EWART, of Columbia, S. C.

Among the busy crowds of seekers a her wealth, notoriety, and pleasure, the very existence of this lady has been forgotten; but it has been known where want and suffering implored relief, and amid the circle in which she moved, her name was never uttered with out a feeling of respect and reverence.

The Council met pursuant to adjournment. Present— is honor the Ma)or, Aldermen Abbott. Morton, Quin, Sturgis, W lltams and Ware. After reading th Journal of 1 lie last meeting, a re p ;rl from the Commi tee on City improvements, of fered by Aldsriran Morton, at a previous meeting, was taken up, read and adopted, to-vvit : T ie committee on City Improvements, who were requested to inquire into the expediency of building a Magazine, beg leave lo report, llitp they have and voted some time and attention to. the subject, and are of the opinion, that ihe lives and property of the citizens are much endangered by the ptesent mode of storing pow der, in the ordinary places of bu-iness, and it is of the Utmost importance that some different arrangement should be m tde as speedily as possible. They have a,-cer amed that there now now in the City, between sev< n and eight hundred kegs o! gun powder ; some stores conjoining as many as one hundred kegs, and that in the heart of the business part ts the City, so situated that in case of tire, tile destruction oi property woo dbe immense. Furthermore, there are peop e living in aa 1 contiguous to stores, containing powder, aho are liable to be blown to pieces, wjihoul a mo -111 >nts warning. There are also many stocks of valuable Goods, o-.vned by men who keep no powder, and in ca e that stores adjoining which coniain powder, should lake fire, they would be ob iged to stand and see their properly des!ro\td, without being able to make an ef fort to rescue it from the devouring elements, without endangering their lives. This slate of things ought not to exist, and it is our duty, as protectors of the interests'.f ihe City, to devise some plan to r&inedy the evil, fir the attainment of that object, your committee offer the following Kesolulion : Resolved, That the Committee on City Improve ments be authorized to contract on the best possible terms, for building a powder magazine, suitable to the wants q! the City. 3'he committee to furnish a plan and specification for those who wi sh to propose for it die who!e work to be executed under the superinten dance of said committee. Your commiitee would further suggest the propriety of adopting a codenf bv-laws to regulate the sto tng of powder. The same to be trietly enforced, as soon a the magazine is prepared for use. All of which, your commutes respectfully submit to your honorable body for your consideration. Alderman Sturgis ofiered the following as an stnend m nt thereto : Resolved, That before the committee shall be au thorized to contract for the erection of said building, ‘hev shall ascertain what sum of money the several Insurance Offices of thisCitv wi.l subscribe and ap propriate to. the same, and that said Committee report pxopriate to. the same, and that said Committee report ihe r .'suit to the Council, before they con.ract for the <ame.

THE importance of properly preparing the Staple of any country or section is well kno.. 11 , hut to no country or section is it of such importance as those mat grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple. Therefore, under tips and other considerations, I pro pose to publish by subscription my system and practice in Cotton Gin making and Ginning. With the advantage of many years, experience— the sacrifice of much time and labor—and believing that I leave brought it nearer to perfect on than any other person, l submit it to the public in a concise and correct manner—with my late practice and wilh many improvements hesides the valuable one of the application of the Friction Wheels, and new mode of making the brush, (which l have patented in the Re public of ‘Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last improvement, which raucli increases the speed u gin ning, and improves the CotU n, (It is well represented in the plates and explained in the work.) ‘The work to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in geoti binding, with len well engraved plates, illustrative of the system; of the Gin complete, plans, elevations, sections, and figures in itetail, with references at and de scription of every part. Also plates of plan and eleva tion of Gin House, Gear, position of the Gin, &■-. cal culations of gear in speeding the gin, v/ith particular description, explanation and directions to the Cotton Planters in constructing the gin-house and gear, and general management of’ the gin, cotton, &c. With the rules and explanations given in the pro posed Work, any good workman may execute the whole plan well, and tfie Planter be enabled to judee for hiniseif in constructing his House, Gear, &c., uid in selecting a Gin that is rightly made in every respect, and of good materials; therefore being a great sav ng or gain to him, first, in cleaning nis crop in half the time usually required; and in picking and moteing his cotton w’ell, so as to command the highest price in market; in the durability of hits Gin, winch, ifmrde by the directions given, will last to pck a thousand bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com mon made Gins to do the - ame.) And further, thei e is no risk or danger of burning tne House. Colton. &<:, by taking fire from the Gin on the new friction wiieel ; plan, though you were to gve it douhl 3 the raofi 11 Gins running on boxing jvould bear. Nothing will be set down in the proposed Work but positive facts, be ing the result (all prejudice^aside) ot fair and repeat ed experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know ledge and skill.) If l were goitig to continue the Cotton Gin making business in this countrv, I should 11 it trouble th. pub lic wi'h this Prospectus for 1 would much rather work for money than write for it as in the first case I would <:o it strict justice,—in the la’ter, I must ask allowance for its defects, and liberal patronage for its support.
