The Mail* awl the Telegraphic Wires hear to ns startling and important intelligence. First in consequence is the sudden and com |>leto revolution of the Government oT France 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 l>eafs to lie “devoted to Napoleon,’while it is reported than Gex. Nieumver was marching on Paris with four Regiments to oppose him. All the principal leaders of opposition were 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. HILLS INTRODUCED, ->r 1y Mr. Wooldridge.—Tojmthori/e the loan of money by the State to the Muscogee Railroad Company, and to secure it against loss.

STALLINGS, Ch’m. M\ riox dlr.Tin-n, See’tv. 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. New Orleans, Dee. 14. Extraordinary Suit aualnst an old 1)e- FAtLTKu.—In the first district court of the Unit ed State.*, a singular and important suit has been commenced by the United States, against Kilty Smith, a rich broker of thischy, and his sou John Uhandl.n- Smith,a resident of Baltimore. The plaintiff status tlmt Kilty Smith was a defaulter thirty years ago as navy agent;in the stun of $280,- 990, for which judgment was obtained in the Dis trict of Columbia in the year ,1822. Since tliat tune Mr. Smith has been doing a heavy business under his sou's name. The court lias granted a writ against the btuik deposits and all other property of the firm, -to bo held until the suit is de cided. .... Messrs. Darnell & Cos., of Groves l-ort, Ohio, produce dealers have failed for §70,000. They will, it is said, pay about 4q or 50 cents on the dollar. It is feared that several substantial tanners have lost their farms by this failure. Tmm tkr < TctKoc Tmc Astras.wan PaasoxeisrsS'nu—Wwlwve 1 U:ro js'fclety by B.

States, ) 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 Bob Brown, Boston— do him Brawn." — Yankee Blade. R r fy = ' J The Charleston Mercury of the 2lst inst., acknowledges the receipt of numerous favors from a, correspondent in the following humorous strain: Amateur Obituaries. —\Vo have, a corres pondont in Barnwell District, to whom we beg leave once for all to tender our grateful ackuowledgeincn ts for his numerous fa vors, with a hope that he will not continue the same, —who has Jburied more friends within the last two yoars than any the most afHetedindividual of’our whole acquaintance, lie seems to labor under a mortal necessity of going into tears and bereavements about once a’in onth, and when nobody dies conven iently he is obliged to make up a ease to sa - isfy ills thirst for gr’ef. We should not have complained of this, but one of his first sub jects remonstrated earnestly, with us touch ing his permature burial and we are obliged to make amends by restoring him to the light of day. Since then M'c have contented our selves with being silent mourners at the af fecting funerals of our correspondent. His last case, —that of the-gentleman, “cut off in the bloom of his youth”, who “left a numer ous offspring,” and at “the pomp and parade” of whose military funeral, divers respectable, officers of militia wi re “so miserable, that strong men as they were, nature predominated and they gave “cut to tlie passionate bursts of feeling”—is now before us, and iias har rowed our own heartssofmuch that wes 1 o sld bo unwilling to subject the public to a like infliction.

It would seem that the American Secre tary of State lias done no more than to instruct the American Minister to intercede for Mr. Thrash er’s release.
