LARGEST CITV CIRCULATIOM.
The Catholic Bishop of Connecticut.
Wo have heretofore published several con
tradictory statements in reference to the ques
tion whether Bishop O’Reilly was or was not
a passenger in the l’acilic on her lust unfortu
nate trip. We believe that the last of these
reports was that he had arrived at Boston by
another vessel, anil therefore was not in the
Pacific. But it now turns out thutit was some
other divine of the same name who arrived at
Boston, and it is said that positive evidence
has now been received that liisbop O’Reilly
was ou the Pacific.
Additional interest is attracted to this event
by the effect it is likely to have upon the suc
cession of the Catholic church property in
Connecticut. By an act passed by the last
Legislature of that .State, “no devise, lease,
grant or conveyance to or for any person in
ecclesiastical oflicc, shall vest any estate or in
terest in his successor;” and it is further pro
vided that on the death of any person so vest
ed, the property so held by him shall be deem
ed to be held for the benefit of the religious
society or congregation using the same, and
shall revert to the corporation formed by such
society ; and if there shall he no such corpor
al,ed society, the title shall vest in the State of
Connecticut. The Catholic church property
in Connecticut, as elsewhere in this country,
is held by the Bishop, and there is no incor
poration of the church or of trustees. The
property held by Bishop O’Reilly, therefore,
is legally confiscated to the State of Connecti
cut, in accordance with the luw of the last
Legislature.

The Trial of Baker in Hew York.
On the 114th inst., after having been engag
ed for a week or ten days on the case, the court
had only secured eleven jurors to try Lewis
Baker forthc murder of Wm. Poole. ThcNew
York papers note some amusing replies made
by many of the persons summoned, showing
their ignorance and incapacity. One German,
being asked the usual question whether lie
had formed an opinion us to the guilt or inno
cence of the prisoner, answered that “ho had
made up lu3 mind the man was kilt.” Anoth
er scene is thus reported: •
“ Another juror, named Mack, who was al
so a German, said in answer to a question as
to competency : “0,1 dink de ballkilt Boole.”
Counsel—Have you any opinion as to who
killed Poole ?
Juror—lt ish more as 1 can tell, and some
body else, too, 1 diuk.
Counsel—Did you read about the Grapeshot
being sent after Baker ‘l
J uror—o, 1 read more ash dat.
Counsel—Have you any conscientious scru
ples in reference to capital punishment.
Juror—Veil, l shall go according to my law.
It was deemed advisable to set the juror aside
for the present.
M. Charles Bochsa, of tho company of Mad
ame Anna Bishop, and distinguished as a pi
anist, died in Australia on the 7th of January.
We have seon and read of many disasters
hy high water, but we never heard of its set
ting things on lire until we read as follows in
a New York paper :
“ The water in the North river rose so high
a few days since at lihinebeck, that it set fire
to a quantity of quick lime, which entirely de
stroyed the warehouse in which the lime was
stored.”
Legislation before Congress.
The Washington correspondent of the Sa
vannah Journal reports that by the efforts of
Mr. Iverson in the Senate and Mr. Seward in
the House, the bills making appropriations for
removing obstructions in tho harbor of Savan
nah have been kept from references that would
smother them, and are in calendars that will be
acted on; also that Mr. Seward’s bill for the
establishment of a naval depot at Brunswick
w ill pass, with very little doubt.
The same correspondent writes of the Boun
ty Land Bill which passed the Senate on the
-“d inst., that “it permits the granting of
bounty lands upon parol as well as upon re
eord evidence; it computes the time of service
troni the hour of a suldior’s departure from his
home for the rendezvous to which he has been
ordered, computing the time by the distance
traveled ; and it extends the benefits of the
law to many persons who were never in battle,
but who labored in tlieservico as essential aux
iliaries to the army, as quarter masters, their
assistants, surgeons, &c., not upon actual war
duty.”
Chunnenuggee .Fair.
Tlie Annual Fair of the Cliunnenuggeo (Ma
non county, Ala.,) Horticultural Fair will com
mence on the first day of May. ltev. l)r. Lips
comb will deliver the address on that day, and
to those who have enjoyed the pleasure of hear
ing him lieretotore wc need hardly say that it
will be glowing, beautiful and fresh as the
flowers that will adorn the exhibition. The
Macon Republican says that preparations will
be made for the reception of a large crowd,
au.l that an interesting and gratifying occasion
is anticipated.
The Chunnenuggoe Fair is one of the first
exhibitions of the kind gotten up in Alabama,
and its yearly meetings have long been highly
creditable and attractive. The ladies of that
region have manifested much interest in these
hairs, and when the ladies undertake anything
so peculiarly appropriate to their sphere and
tastes, they arc bound to make it succeed and
grow in popular favor, as the Cliunnenuggeo
Fair has. The yearly increasing interest
our people manifest in Horticultural and Agri
cultural exhibitions is a sure index of pro
gress and thrift among our farmers, and an
augury of their future improvement and inde
pendence.
Bain!
It did rain a little—just a very little—in out
city yesterday. We got only enough of tbo
long treasured-up moisture to wash some of
the dust from the leaves and the house-tops,
but not sufficient to wet the ground and reach
the roots of vegetation. Thankful for this
small favor, we shall be doubly grateful sos
more, and the sooner the better.
1 PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
A New Party Move. —The pronunciamento
of anew political party appears in the news
papers. It is attributed to the Hon. Albert
Pike, of Arkansas, and is regarded as ex
pressing his views and indicating his prefer
ence of candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. This party is to he called
the “Democratic American Party”—its motto,
! “Americanism, Toleration and Reform”—and
its candidates, Daniel S. Dickinson, of New
: York for President, and Wm. C. Dawson, of
I Georgia, for Vice President. The platform
! (which we will copy in a day or two) declares
for a number of reforms, but makes “Ameri
canism” a very prominent feature ; and in this
latter respect, we believe, the views ot the
party and those of its principal candidate are
conflicting. Simultaneously with the appear
ance of this platform and the development of
this movement at the South, we perceive an
effort at the North to bring Mr. Dickinson
prominently before the Cincinnati Democratic
Convention as a candidate for its nomination,
he is declared to be the choice of the New
York Hard delegation,and the determination of
that delegation to insist ou exclusive admi
ssion into the Cincinnati Convention, as the
sole representatives of the Democracy of New
York, is reiterated and maintained. The
New York Daily News, the Hard organ, is
publishing letters from many sections urging
the nomination of Dickinson and approving the
purpose of the Hards to refuse any union with
or toleration of the Softs. Now these may
he accidental, but to our mind they indicate
a strong disposition on the part of the Hards
of New York, in the event of the repudiation
by the Cincinnati Convention of their exclusive
claims (which repudiation we anticipate as a
matter of course), to fly off and unite with an
independent party in the support of Mr. Dick
inson. Whether any concert of arrangement
has been going on or not, the two move
ments strengthen each other, and coming
events may blend them into one. The efforts
of the Daily News and other Hard papers to
create the impression that Martin Van Buren,
on behalf of the Soft Democracy, and F. I*.
Blair, on the part of the Freesoilers, have
been consulting and arranging together for
a union of the two factions whom they repre
sent, are by no means suggestive of the entire
groundlesncss of our conjectures as to the
probable secession of the Hards and their
support of Dickinson.
Early on the Wing. —A letter from Balti
more, dated April 21st, to a New York paper
says: “Quite a number of delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention from different States
have passed through our city on their way to
Washington.” As several weeks will trans
pire before the meeting of the Cincinnati Con
vention, these delegates have started in good
time.
Missouri. —Dispatches from St. Louis an
nounce briefly that Hon. Thomas H. Benton
has been nominated for Govornor of Missouri
by his wing of the Democratic party, and
Trustcn Folk by the “Atchisonites.” As the
Democratic State Convention (both wings)
was in session at Jefferson City, the inference
is that the old feud is to be kept up in all its
rancor and antagouism.
The follow ing is tho Know-Nothing State tick
et in Missouri: For Governor, ltobt. C. Ewing,
of LaFayette; Lt. Governor, Wm. Newland;
Secretary of State, Thos. A. Harris; Register
of Lands, Thos. C. Fletcher; Auditor, S. M.
Grant.
Florida. —The Democratic State Conven
tion met at Tallahassee last week, and nomi
nated Hon. M. S. Perry, of Alachua county,
for Governor, and Hon. Geo. S. Hawkins, of
Jackson county, for congress, lt also nomi
nated Democratic Presidential Electors.
Gov. Wise, of Virginia, lias written a let
ter declaring his preference for the lion. Jas.
Buchanan for the Presdency; but he takes oc
casion at the same time to say that he would
sooner have declared his prefereuce, had he
not “expressly understood” that Mr. B. would
not be a candidate which remark is consid
ered as rather qualifying his support of “old
Bucli.”

T 1 ic South Carolina arrived at our wharves
on Saturday evening, with considerable up

left for Apalachicola yesterday evening.
The D. J. Day left on Saturday for Apalach

Georgia Baptist Convention.
This religious body assembled in the first
Baptist Church, in this city, at 101 o’clock,
yesterday. The Introductory Sermon was
preached to a large congregation by the Rev.
Mr. Teague, of LaUrange, after which Thom
as Stocks, Esq., of Greene county, President
of the last Convention, called the house to
order and received the credentials of Dele
gates.
Mr. Stocks was then elected President of
the Convention, after which they adjourned
till 1 o’clock, P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention re-assembled in the Sec
ond Baptist Church, and proceeded to the
election of Secretaries. Messrs. J. E. Dagg
and , were chosen.
The report of the Board of Managers was
read by Kev. Mr. Crawford.
The balance of the session was spent chiefly
in the appointment of committees, the recep
tion ol delegates and of messengers from cor
responding bodies. —Savannah Republican, ‘2Gth

Execution of McCombs.
Columbia, April 25, 185(1.
James McCombs, the murderer, was exe
cuted to-day at ten minutes after 1 o’clock.—
He mounted the scaffold with a firm step, and
exhibited no symptoms of fear. He expresed
his willingness to die. When the drop fell
the rope broke, and the prisoner falling, re
vived and showed signs of great agony r . lie
was again taken up and hung twenty minutes,
when he was pronounced dead. But his neck
was not broken, and a horrible scene ensued.
As he was taken up for the third time he
succeeded in freeing his hands, and grasped
at the rope about his neck; and it was with
great difficulty that tho execution was finally
accomplished.
Many spectators, among whom were females,
were present.
1 A Northern View of the Cotton Prospect.
The following article is from the Boston
Traveler, and it is therefore proper to remark
I that the writer is in the interest of the manu
factures and not the growth or sale of the raw
i material. The Jigtires, nevertheless, are near
ly accurate, and we leave to the consideration
of those better “posted up” than we are, his
statements and conclusions as to the opera
tions of the banks and brokers. We will re
mark, though, that we are not aware ol’ any
great delay in the forwarding of cotton at pre
sent to Savannah and Mobile “ owing to the
bad state of the roads.” The following is tho
ugly picture which the Traveler holds up be
fore the eyes ol’ the late purchasers and pres
ent holders of cotton:
“ The appearance of the market at this time
indicates the progress of one of the greatest
speculations which has been contemplated for
many years. There is good reason to believe
that parties at the south, in New York, and in
England, and possibly also in France, have
combined to control the cotton market, and
carry up prices to a high figure. These par
ties have no doubt been influenced to this
course by the expectation that the cessation of
the Russian war, cheap bVoadstutfs, and an
easy money market in Europe, will produce an
active demand for cotton and increase greatly
its consumption. The expansion of tho loans
of the New York and the southern banks, the
largest purchases of cotton already in the
southern ports or in transit, with various oth
er minor circumstances which it is not neces
sary to enumerate, convince us that the cov
ering often practised in the Wall street stock
market lias been transferred to the cotton crop,
and that it is the design of the speculators,
who must have been furnished by the New
York banks as well as by thosein the southern
States with an immense sum of money, to hold
tho stock of cotton on hand and compel cus
tomers to pay a greatly enhanced price for the
article during the remainder of the season.
“We do not believe in the success of this
speculation, and think it highly probable that
it will before many weeks topple down about
the heads of its contrivers and use them up
completely. Our reasons for this belief are,
that the crop being ample for the wants of all
consumers, they will not be in a hurry to pur
chase their stocks, and that the speculators
cannot carry through the season anything like
the quantity which will be requisite to force
prices up above present rates, if indeed they
are to sustain them where they are now. The
stock in the shipping ports at the present time
is about 600,000 bales, and there is no
reason to doubt that 000,000 more will be re
ceived during the season; in this case, to car
ry out the speculation successfully, it will be
requisite to hold the control for months of at
least halt a million bales, which will require
$25,000,000, and which sum the speculators
will be wdiolly unable to command, with all the
aid which the southern banks maybe disposed
to extend to them, especially if exchange
keeps up to the specie point, which it is like
to do for three or four months to come.
“ Thc on ly chance for speculators is that the
crop may unexpectedly prove 300,000 bales
short of the most reliable estimates. Whis
pers to this effect have been made during the
last fortnight, but it is probably a mere ruse of
the operators to alarm and bring forward pur
chasers. There is no diminution of receipts
anywhere except at Mobile and Savannah, and
this is understood in well informed quarters to
bo owing to the bad stato of the roads in Ala
bama, Tennessee and Georgia.
“ If the English spinners stand firm and
buy only as they want the raw material, and
past experience proves that they are not easi
ly alarmed, this speculative movement will
prove a clisasterous one to the operators.”
Beecher’s Bibles.
From the Independence (Mo.) Messenger.
The great notoriety which the Rev. Beecher
has given himself, in furnishing Sharp’s rifles
to Kansas emigrants, has given these weapons
the name of Beecher’s Bibles. A lot of these
formidable weapons were on Wednesday last
exposed for sale in our city at auction. They
were brought here from the Territory by the
owners, sold, and the proceeds invested in pro
visions. They went off at from §l2 to Sl6,
which is about half what they costat the East,
the fact of their being sold, and the low price
which they brought, lead us to the conclusion,
that the difficulties in the Territory may be
considered at an end. Should the *Rev. gen
tleman and his pious coadjutors learn what
disposition is being made of his guns, we hope
it will have a tendey to stop his impious, un
holy and mischievous harangues, in inciting
American citizens to tree on and civil war. He
will probably now see that the citizens of Kan
sas would prefer half, in the shape of provi
sions, clothing, and farming utensils, which
aie gieatly needed, than arms for the purpose
of shooting their fellow citizens. We admire
the good sense of those men for turning wca
pons of war into agricultural implements, and
will do what we can to furnish a market to
all who may wish to make thesamc disposition
ot tneir arms.
It is a notorious fact that all the difficulties
that have occurred in this unhappy Territory,
lj avc been got up by ambitious politicians and
fanatical preachers, and we are assured by
those who ought to know, that the great body
of settlers in Kansas, are both anxious and
willing to let things remain as they are, and
settle the question of freedom or slavery, when
the Territory applies for admission as a State
We learn that Robinson, Lane, Brown, and
nearly all the leading agitators of the Free
State party have left the Territory for the pre
sent, and in consequence, the people are quiet,
and attending to their legitimate business, put
ting in crops and endeavoring to improve their
places, and raise something to eat. It would
be well that all such boisterous characters
could be kept away; in that event we should
hear but little, if anything, more of those trou
bles that have done so much to embitter the
feelings of Northern and Southern men.
Harrisburg, April 28.
> The Pennsylvania State Senate elected Mr.
Brown, Speaker, just before adjourning.—
His election was effected by the aid of the
American vote, and has created a great sen
sation among the Democracy, who would have
preferred seeing Wilkins elected. A storm
is brewing, which threatens to roust Mr.
Brown from the State Executive Committee.
“ Jim Henry,” or Rev. James Henry.
W e have seen in an exchange, recently, a
letter from the Rev. Geo. F. Fierce, Methodist
Bishop, giving a brief account of a Confei •eiice
held by him, composed of Creek Indian preach
ers, in their new home in the far West. Dr.
Fierce mentions “Jim Henry,” the bloody
wariior of the Creek war of 1830, who is now
an humble and penitent minister of the Gos
pel, and is addressed as the “ Rev. James
Henry, We think the old settlers on both
sides of the Chattahoochee would now be as
unwilling to hear “James Henry” preach, as
they were once to hear the terrible war hoop
ot “Jim Henry.”— Dallas Gazette.
Fire.
A fire occurred between two and three
o’clock yesterday (Saturday) morning, in a
two story wooden house on Marbury street,
near the Cotton Factories, owned and occu
pied by Thomas Leokey as a dwelling and
grocery, which, with its contents, was entirely
consumed. Insured in the Georgia Mutual
for SI,OOO on the house and $1,200 on the
stock. The one story wood building adjoin
ing, owned and occupied by Matthew Sherron
as a dwelling and grocery, was next consumed
with its contents, (no insurance,) and the one
story building next adjoining, owned by B.
11. Warren, and occupied by Davis, as a
grocery and dwelling, with its contents, was
also consumed. We did not learn that there
was any insurance on this building or the
stock. The flames communicated with the
block of Factory dwellings on the opposite
side of the street, occupied by the operatives,
about two thirds of which were destroyed.—
Loss about $4,000. No insurance. What
amount, or whether any of the furniture of
the occupants was destroyed, we did not
learn. The origin of the tire is not known,
though there it a suspicion of incendiarism. —
Augusta Chronicle.
Compliment worth Having.
According to a “spiritual medium,” Shaks
poure has witnessed the magnificent spectacle
of a “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” at the
Boston Theater, and is highly pleased with
the manner it is put upon the stage, and the
general correctness of the actors. The same
authority says that Shakspeare is reading his
works to the inhabitants of the “fifth sphere,”
in “the land of the hereafter,” much to their
satisfaction and advancement. His works
are considered the best moral gudes in that
section of unknown regions. He promises to
so cultivate actors (in the flesh) that they
shall in a few years produce his works fupon
earthly stages under his guidance and super
vision. The good time is certainly coming.
Force of the European Powers.
Accordiyg to a statement in La Presse, the
military land force of all the powers of Eu
rope form an effective total of 4,162,214 men,
of whom 2,581,228 belong to the six Powers
represented in the Congress of Paris. The
naval forces of all tho narative States of
Europe, according to the same authority,
form a total of 2,815 ships, of which 600 are
steam vessels, and an approximate total of
50,000 guns. The six Powers represented at
the Congcesshave a united naval force of 1,519
vessels, and 39,648 guns. They may speak,
therefore, with a potential voice when togeth
er they undertake to adjust the terms of
peace for Europe.
We understand that the steamer Keystone
State will hereafter touch at Newcastle, Del
aware, to land colored servants attending
passengers from the South. This arrange
ment will enable persons desirous of visiting
Washington, Baltimore, and the Virginia
Springs, and who prefer to go by water, to
take their family servants with them.—Sa

Enormous Prices for Negroes.
The Lynchburg Virginian states that a lot
of negroes belonging to Mr. Geo. G. Curie,
were sold at the Market House in that city on
Thursday, at the following high figures:
Shadrack, about 70 years old, $100; Sam’l.
$1,120; Mac $2,110; Willis $1900; l’urnel,
aged 55, $1,610; Peter $1,400; llobin $1,250;
John $1,250; Charles $1,580; Jack $1,770;
Woodson $1,250; John Mac $1,640; Pleasant
$1,500; Dick $1,275.
The average price is over $1,400 each, and
the aggregate amount $19,825. They w r ere
all bought by citizens of Lynchburg.
The Richmond Enquirer says that the col
lections made by, and contributions made to
the Mount Vernon Association, are large; and
it adds that “at the proper time, measures
will be taken to open negotiations with Mr.
Washington, and on a fnll review of the whole
field, we entertain no doubt that a contract
will be made by the Governor with Mr. Wash
ington, and that, on the payment of the §200,-
000 within five years, as provided by the late
law, the latter will make a deed for the Mount
Vernon Estate to the State of Vh'ginia.”
Wheat and Flour.
A late letter from Paris, says: “The num
ber of barrels of American flour at this mo
ment in store in Havre, is 250,000; of wheat
251,082 hectolitres. (A hectolitre is about
2 5-G Winchester bushels.) To these figures
add the quantity known to be on sea destined
for the port of Havre, viz: 54,000 barrels of
flour and 02,000 hectolitres of wheat, and the
sum total will be 304,000 barrels of flour, and
313,000 hectolitres of wheat.”
A Lucky Fellow.
The Rogersville (Tenn.) Times has the fol
lowing:
“A short time since, a fellow from Buffalo
Creek, Carter county, was imprisoned in
Elizabethtown jail for burning a barn. The
citizens of the place, learning that he was
from the neighborhood where the small pox
was raging, broke open the jail and turned
him out, and then told him if he did’nt leave
town in fifteen minutes they would tar and
feather him.”
Fish Lost.
We learn from the Alexandria Sentinel of
Monday evening, that owing to the glut of the
Fish Market the day previous, two heavy car
goes, one of 50,000 and another of 70,000 her
ring, were thrown overboard.
The Hiccup.
We have often hoard that people can find
no remedy for that annoying complaint, the
hiccup or hiccough. I may mention that some
time ago I had occasion to call at a Highland
shooting lodge, and on entering tho kitchen,
where two English sportsmen were sitting, I
happened to be attacked by a fit of hiccup, and
must have cut rather an awkward figure. I
observed one of the sportsmen take a piece of
gray paper from his pocket, and after lighting
and blowing it out, he started up and without
saying a word, held the fumes of it opposite
my mouth and nostrils. 1 started, to be sure,
but was quite astonished to find myself imme
diately cured, and I have since seen it fre
quently tried on others, and always proving a
“ never failing remedy.”
