THE NEWS OF TIIE DAY.
The Mail* awl the Telegraphic Wires hear
to ns startling and important intelligence.
First in consequence is the sudden and com

I/iuis N'apoleon has proved his title to more
capacity, courage and statesmanship tlian the
world gave him credit lor. On the 21 of this
month, he tool; thef start of his enemies in the
f roneh Assembly, Thiers, f’hargarnicr and
other*, who were contempllitingn movement
to arrest and impeach him. At day Weak on
Tuesday morning, the walls of Paris were
posted with Napoleon’s proclamation, dissolv
ing the assembly, and ordering an election
for President for the term'of ten years to
fake place immediately on the basis of univer
sal suffrage. His opponents were arrested,
and pending the election, he retains (lie exe
cutive powers. The coup <Ftint was complete
and successful artd was made with such des
patch and secrecy that the proclamation
carried (lie first intimation of his designs to
his opponents.
The accounts of what’ followed are some
wli.-t confused. It is variously reported that
a severe conflict ensued in Paris, and in some
of the Departments, and that the resistance
m-rs slight, soon quelled, and that the Presi
dent's movement h:ul licet! hailed with entliu
sksm by the Departments. The arftiy ap

reported than Gex. Nieumver was marching
on Paris with four Regiments to oppose him.

in prison anl’at last accounts Paris wasqui
It is believed Napoleon will be re elected
by a large majority oftlie Nation.
We have also news of the destruction of a
part of the Capitol. The extent of the dam
age, further than is reported under the head
of Telegraphic items, has not transpired.
From the West, also, comes a note of war.
Garavajal is again in arms, and has had a sharp
battle at Seraivo, with the Mexican forces
under Jiuirogui, in which lie was successful.
The Government troops were aided by a
party of Indians, who it is said did most of the
lighting: and nearly all of whom were killed.
Capt. Chinn, J. E. Graham and a Lieutenant
in Walker’s company (Texans) were killed.
The Government forces were about to be
re-inforced from Matamoras.
THE LEGISLATURE.
State Road. —On the 22d Inst, the House
took up the Rill to appropriate money to equip the
Western and Atlantic Road. Amotion to post
pone, .'tier a long discussion, prevailed, yeas 50 j
nays 5(1. It is to be hoped that th Legislature I
will not adjourn without making arrangements j
either to put the road in first rate order or sell it.— i
It is a magnificent piece of property —or rather ]
would lie, if repaired and equipped. As it is, it isa !
man trap to catch and murder passengers and j
wholly incapable oftransneting the business offering
“When the Western roads, in connection with this
road, are completed, it will undoubtedly become
the most valuable Rail Road stock in the South, if |
not the whole country. It will take 75 locomo
tives and 2,000 persons to transact its business.—
Such a property should not be neglected. We
understand that a gentleman of large means and
well-known enterprise lias offered to lease it from
tile State at an annual rent of §350,000, provided
the State will put the road bed in complete order.
Another suggestion we have heard ma le and wor
thy of the serious consideration of the Legislature,
is to put the road in perfect order, with a heavy
and durable rail, and then to throw it open to the
public, making it, like a turnpike or Plank Road,
a toll Road. This would pay handsomely to the
State, and relieve it of the trouble, care and losses
of an army of employees and of all the expense of
wear and tear of machinery and equipment.
The House was occupied on the 23d with the
I >il( to raise revenue for the year 1852-'3.

Direct Trade of tho South.
From tlie N't w York Dry Contis Reporter,TVc. fi.
We have noticed with pleasure the advent of
every new enterprise of genuine promise at the
South. We have long believed that she has not
made that judicious use of the talents entrusted to
j her care which her advantages afford,and which
her necessities require. With a elimate ami soil,
the choicest of the earth, it should be the home
not of hospitality only, hut of industry, capital and
power. A change has begun to come over the
spirit of her dreams. The swaddling clothes of
the infant are about being torn asunder, and anew
being will stand erect, conscious of its own power,
clad within the toga ririlis of true dignity and
strength. AVe congratulate the South upon her
emancipation from the fetters of old usages and
slumbering energies.
AVe have already spoken of the brilliant pro
gress the South is sinking in the department of
manufactures. Every’ paper wo receive adds
fresh evidences of the faet. The spirit of enter
prise and progress which is rife in their midst, is
not confined to one section, nor do the illustra
t ions of its* flieieney belong to one class of objects.
The spirit ol enterprise is eminently contagious.—
Activity begets activity, and energies well spent
engender new elements of progress. This Diet is
fully corroborated by the simultniieousncss with
which the Southern States have commenced their
inarch of improvement. Tlucerection of manu
factories, the application of labor to capital in new
forms, has called into requisition larger and more
profitable systems of artificial intercommunication.
Thus railroads and manufactures have gone hand
in hand, increasing the necessities of the existence
of each other, and contributing to their mutual
success. i
Next to the above two features of her industrial ,
progress, we regard the attempt now being made ;
to establish direct trade with Europe as freighted \
with the most incalculable advantages and endtir- j
ing results. AVe would prefer not to see its sue- I
cess jeopardized by involving it with questions of j
sectional concern or political intrigue. Let it stand j
out bv its-If alone, towering high above all other
interests. Ix-t its consequences be calculated, and i
its influence measured. Let antagonistic feelings j
be compromised, and their united efforts will sue- |
eeed in perfecting a great and magnificent work.
The position which the South is fast acquiring de
mands it. The benefits which would accrue from
its establishment would be immediate as well as
lasting.
The great States of South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee, bound together as they
soon will be by their railroads, possess within them
selves elements which will secure the accomplish
ment of almost any object. Their resources are
exhaustless, and the results of their labor abundant.
Already they supply the markets of the world
with the great staple of cotton. The products of
their fields will bring remunerative prices at all
times, if sent to the proper markets. Heretofore
they have been content to dispose of them in such
a manner as they could without any effort on their
part. They have most usually passed through a
long and irregular circuit in finding a market for
consumption. Their cotton, their rice and their
sugar, which find their consumers on the contin
ent, pass first to’Savannah, or Mobile, or New Or
leans, thence to New York,or Boston or Baltimore,
thence to Liverpool, and from that great store
house of the world, they are distributed through
out Europe. The process through which these
valuable commodities are thus compelled to pass is
unnatural and expensive. Three or four ship
ments are made, when one at least would suffice.
The reductions in commissions, insurance and
freights which direct transportation would effect,
would make these’ necessaries not only cheaper
to the consumer, but more profitable to the produ
cer.
In the single article of cotton, the markets of
the Continent, which should be supplied directly
from the Southern ports, receive more than half
the quantity consumed front Great Britain, which
is annually held back in the monster warehouse's
of Liverpool. With immense capital upon which
to operate, they guide and control the market.*. —
They dictate terms not only to this country, hut
to the whole of burope. The quantity .supplier!
directly byjju: l'luted’Stntcsand Sy Groat Britain
respectively for consumption on the Continent is
tints summed up in bales:
Exports from U. S. Exports from G. B.
1846 205,000 194 000
IS 17 109,000 215,000
ISIS 225 000 192,000
1849 022 000 251,000
1850 194 000 282 090
1851 205.000 85,000
This should not be so. It is for the interest of
both producer and consumer that they should be
bremght more closely and more directly together ;
they should understand and appreciate the wants
ofcaph other. In order to secure these important
obje'cts, such intermediate agents should be ex
pensed with. The markets of Great Britain, and
Iter markets alone, should be supplied directly from
the Southern pe>rts. The markets from Germany
France and the interior states of Europe, should
receive their supply jjjrectljy'rom Charleston, Sa
vannah or Mobile,’ 1 its the rase’ may be, in the
ports of Amsterdam, Hamburg, Bremen or Hav
re. Our own coasting trade would supply the
markets of New England and the Atlantic States
generally.
Titus the influence of commerce would bo more
widely diffused. the articles of manufacture eheap
ened, and the process of labor diversified. The
interchange’ of commodities would bo more cem
mon, and the comforts of life more wide spread.
The commercial cities of the South would
spring into flew life, and diffuse; some of the
vigor of their growth into the sections adjacent.—
Am, avenues to wealth afld enterprise would be
comnnajHy unfolding themselves. Keir would
these evidences of prosperity be regarded w ith
jealousy by tlto cities of the North. They, too,
would -hare in the general increase of trade.—
There would be a me>re equal distribution of pow
er and capital and wealth. And as commerce is
libera! in the influence which it exerts, and cosmo
politan in is nature, it would banish from all our
minds s.vtuua 1 foelings and geographical distinc
tions. Tl-.o closer we draw the links of trade a
moito ourselves and with other nations, the more
intpr.'istb.odo we render our chances of collision,
and the mutual interchange of products will lead
to a rcclprocatiqn of courtesies that will fignily
bindali nations in a common brotherhood.

M&drd, Nov. 17,1851. \
My Dear Sr: You ‘way rest assured that no
proper effort will be wanting on my port to obtain
the release of your brother-in-tow, young E. Q.
Bell, who was seduced into the iff fated Lopez ex
pedition.
The Government of the U. States Ims also re
quested me to intereei in his be half. But even
without stteh request, it will be my greatest hap
piness to I in an\ r degray instrumental in restor
ing to his afflicted moth.'*and family, his country
and friends, one who, though in an evil moment
led astray by older and more artful men, seems
possessed of so many generous and redeeming
qualities. I will endeavor to secure the liberation
f all the prisoners—which I think would bo best
fir Spain, and I know would be most agreeable to
tlte whole people of the United States. They
have already been punished enough for their folly,
and Spain lias had vengeance enough too. The
unfortunate affairs at New Orleans and elsewhere
in tlie United States, in which Spain believes there
has been great insult anil outrage to Iter flag and
injuries to her subjects, resident in the United
States, have much complicated and added greatly
to the difficulties of the release of these prisoners.
If all cannot le sxtn discharged, I will then try for
a few of the most meritorious and unfortunate of
them for whos” release my special intercession has
been asked ; and I repeat to you tbatamong them
your brother, and the son of a most distressed
moth r, slutli have a cotispieuous place in my ef
forts.
Yo'terSay 1 received a letter from the Ameri
can Consul at Cadiz, inclining me that the vessel,
Rrimera de Guatemala, in which young Bell is
mentioned in tlie pajters as having sailed, had ar
rived at that port, after (50 days passage from Ha
vana ; and it was uncertain when he w rote where
she would he ordered for quarantine, whether to
Aigoorßort Malum, in tlie Mediterranean. 1
have taken all proper steps for communieating
with tlie prisoners ; and as soon as I know where
they are destined, will forward tile letters to young
Bell. [ shall, too, do all in my power to alleviate
their hard fate, and would see thorn in person but
for the great distance of this city from tlie coast —
the difficulty of internal communication in this
Peninsula, and the conviction that I can serve
them better by remaining here where my pressing
duties occupy all my time.
Say to the disconsolate mother and family oftlie
unfortunate young man to he of good cheer and
hope, and believe me, dear sir,
Very truly, Vours,
D. M. BARRINGER.
To B. F. Deßow, Esq., Charleston, S. C.
Loud Thurlow.—Charles Butler, in
, his Reminiscences, thus mentions a
! speech of Lord Thuriow’s in reply to an
j attack of the Duke of Grafton during in
i <>niry into Lord Sandwich’s administra
! tion if Greenwich Hospital: “llis
, grace’s action and delivery, when he
addressed the house were singularly
dignified and graceful; but his matter
was not equal to his manner. lie re
proached Lord Thurlow with liis plebe
ian extraction, and his recent admission
into tlie peerage. Particular circum
stances caused Lord Thuriow’s reply to
make a deep impression on the remin
iscent. Lis lordship had spoken too of
ten, and began to be heard with a civil
but visible impatience. Under these
circumstances he was attacked in the
manner we have mentioned. lie rose
from the woolsack, and advanced slow
ly to the place from which the chancel
lor generally addressed the house ; then
fixing on the duke the look of Jove,
when he has grasped the thunder, “I
am amazed” he said, in a level tone of
voice, at the attack the noble duke has
made upon nAe. Yes, my lords,” consid
erably raising Ins voice, ‘I am amazed
at h s grace’s speech. The noble duke
cannot look before h m, behind Him, or
on either side of him, without seeing
some noble peer, who owes his seat in
this house to his successful exertions in
this profession to which I belong. Does
he not feel that it isas honorable to owe j
it to these, as to being the accident of
an accident 1 To all these noble lords
the language oftlie noble duke is as ap
plicable and as insulting as it is to my
self. But Ido not fear to meet it single
mid alone. No one venerates the peer
age more than I do ; but my lords, I
must say the peerage solicited me, not
I the peerage. Nay, more ; I can say
and will say,that as apeer of parliament,
as speaker of this right lion Table house,
as keeper of the great seal ; as guardian
of his majesty’s conscience; as lord
high chancellor of England ; nay, even
in that character alone in which the no- j
ble duke would think it an arts out to be j
considered ; but which characjter none
can deny me ; as a man, I ani at this
moment as respectable ; I beg leave to
add ; I am at this moment as much re
spected, as the proudest peer I now look ;
down upon.” The’effeet of this speech, I
both within the walls of Parliament and I
out of them, was prodigious. It gave I
Lord Thurlow an ascendancy in the j
house which no chancellor had ever
possessed, and it invested him in public
opinion, with a character of indepen
dence and honor ; and this, although he
was ever upon tiie unpopular side of
politics, malp him always popular with
the people.”
A D angerous Adventure.— The Par
is correspondent of the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin in his letter of the (ith
ot November, tells tlto following story:
One of the most singular and danger
ous adventures took place at Brussels a
few days ago. Alphonse Thevelin, a
gymnast, well known for his astonish
ing feats on the spring board, attached
to Goddard’s balloon, had advertised to
give, at Brussels, one of his usual aero
nautical exhibitions. The people had
gathered in immense crowds, on the
town squatc, the spring board had been
attached and all preparationsmade, and
the balloon started majestically into the
air, rising high above the houses.
Thevelin was aboutturning a somerset
when he received a severe blow on the
back. This was surprising, in the par
ticular locality, but our gymnast did not
hesitate to turn quickly and grapple
with his aerial antagonist. Balloon
spring board, and all, went off and left
him in mid heaveh, locked in a close
embrace with St. Michael, not in pro
pria personal), but in the form of an im
mense gilt statue with which the Bel
gians have ornamented the tip-top of
the steeple of their Hotel de Ville, or
Town House. Thevelin looked after
the balloon ; it was a quarter of a mile
off; he looked down to the ground,
three hundred and fifty feet below; lie
concluded to try and reach the latter.
The perilous descent was accomplish*
ed in presence of an affrighted crowd.—
A single false step, the trembling of a
muscle, the giving way of a projection
must have sent him a lifeless and crush
ed massto the pavement below. The
rigor of the weather and his light cos
tunic forbade hint to remain where he
was. He came down safely on the out
side of the spire.
He deserves richly to have his salary
doubled by the Emperor of Russia, who
has engaged him to go toSt. Petersburg,
to take charge of a gym nasium. Louis
Napoleon, has just such a descent to
make from the airy pinacle where he is
now, and the people are looking on to
see how he will make it. I hope h,e will
succeed as well as Thevelip.
An Oddity.— Among the peculiarities
of Cavendish, the celebrated chemist
and natural philosopher, was his exces
sive dislike of women. On the author
ity of an old inhabitant of .Clapham, it
is stafed that Cavendish would never see
a female servant, and if an unfortunate
maid ever showed hers, lfj she was in
stantly dismissed. He was in the habit
of ordering his dinner daily by a note,
which he left on the hall table, whence
the housekeeper was to take it ; and such
was his horror of sex, that, having one
day met a maid-servant on the stairs
with a broom and pail, he immediately
ordered a back staircase to be built:
A Satlob’s ix —A nantical frieati
of ours related the folio wing dream :
Having touched at St Helena to
“wood and water,” as they say on the
western rivers, he w< nton shore one af
ternoon, anti partook at the house of a
hospitable tnend, ol the many good
things afforded tlie inhabitants of that
‘gem of the sea’—not the least of which
was some Madeira, which would have
made even the famous “south side” turn
pale at its own inferiority. Having from
his frequent potations, got “comfortably
drunk, clean through,” he p ‘oceeded
to return to the quay (to his boat,) which
he accomplished after sundry feats of
ground and lofty tumb’ing, in a short
space of time. After safely reaching the
vessel; he “turned in,” and soon fell
ashep, and now for the dream.
He ivas—“in his mind’s eye, Hora-‘
tio,” dead, and in the dominions of his
Satanic Majesty, and applied to that
gentleman for accommodations —Arriv-
ing at the portals of the mansion us his
majesty, he found him, and inquired
what was to be his fate after a long li e
spent in his service. The “littie man
in black” turned to his ledger, and
peeping over his spectacles, inquired
the name of the applicant; our hero an
swered him and said.
“Aly name is Bob Brown.”
“Occupation 1”
“Sailor.”
“Rcs r dence!”
“Boston, Alassachusetts, United States
of America.
After these questions were replied to
by Bob, as he thought in a very satis
factory manner, the devil turned over
his record book until his eye rested on
the page devoted to the luckless Brown
and cast up apparently a balance—and
in answer to his reiterated question of
“what am I entitled to!” bawled out to
his attend nts in the back ground
“Make ah —lota lire in No 1G for

The Joint Committee on printing have agreed
