Gen. Taylor at Bay St. Louis.
The New Orleans Delta of Saturday, the
16th inst., says:
“ The Bay of St. Louis was not far behind the Pass
in the brilliancy of its reception of General Taylor.
Many of our most respectable citizens reside during
the summer at this pleasant place, which offers gieat
advantages to families, on account of the healthiness
and beauty of the back country. Gen. Taylor, hav
ing been invited to p~ rtake of the hospitalities of t le
Bay, went over yesterday on the steamer Creo e, ac
companied by Samuel J. Peters, Eq., and otier
gentlemen who reside on the Bay. During the pas
sage of the Creole, the whole co.st was illuminated
with bonfires and torches, and on her arrival ut the
Bay the firing of cannon, the brilliant illumination
of the houses, and the crowds collected on the wharf,
showed that the same spirit of grateful admiration of
the Old Hero, which had shone so conspicuously at
Pass Christian, had extended to this ancient resort of
our merchants and our Creole fellow-citizens.
On the landing of the boat there was a general rush
aboard to greet the old General. He was received
by a committee of citizens, was welcomed in appro
priate terms, and escorted ashore, where he wifl spend
a few days as the guest of our fellow-citizen, Samuel
J. Peters, Esq.
This affair was highly creditable to the public
spirit and taste of the good people of “ Old Shields
boro’.”
Gen. Taylor will return to Pass Christian in time
to be present at the Barbecue which will come off to
day in'the grove in the rear of the Hotel. Ample
preparations have been made to render this Barbecue,
given by the citizens of Harrison county, a very sub
stantial and splendid affair. A number of fat cattle,
beeves, calves, pigs, deer, and an indefinite quantity
of poultry will be cooked whole or barbecued for the
occasion. The General will be received and wel
comed under a splendid tent, which will be raised on
the large Indian mound near Montgomery’s, under
which the ladies alco will be entertained. The tables
arc to be spread in the fine grove near the mound. A
friend has promised us a description of the affair.

Later from Brazil and La Plata.—
The New York Herald is in receipt of files of
El Correio Mercantil to the 3d alt,
Senor Sergio Teixeira de Macedo was ap
pointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to the United States, from the
Brazils, on he3lst of July last. It is not sta
ted how soon he would leave for this country.
From Montevideo, accounts had been re
ceived at Rio to the 22d July. The Island of
Apine, belonging to the Argentine Republic,
and lately possessed by the Corrientes troops,
had been taken by forces from Paraguay, and
the captors forced all the inhabitants to leave
within three days. The Corrientes Govern
ment had informed Rosas of the fact, and were
awaiting his answer to know how to act.
Mr. Hood had returned from Buenos Ayres,
as the Argentine Government had refused to
receive him as English Consul General, which
was the character in which he went. From
Buenos Ayres the accounts are to the 18th of
July, and contain nothing positive. Doub
loons were selling at 344 paper dollars each.
The French brig of war Pandour left Monte
video for Rio on the 20th July.
Interesting Slave Cases.—The Holly
Springs (Miss.) Gazette, of the 4th inst., gives
the following important cases, decided in the
Circuit Court. The first was to this effect:—
Two men had employed a slave without the
consent of the master, to assist them in unload
ing a wagon of cotton, promising to pay the
slave in liquor. The liquor was furnished, and
the boy, while engaged in unloading the wagon,
was killed by a third person. Suit was brought
by the owner of the slave for his value, against
all the parties, the employer and the slayer.
The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for the
value of the slave against all the defendants.
The other case was a State prosecution
against a slave for stealing a slave.
The court, Hon. Hugh R. Miller, presiding,
charged the jury that a slave could steal a slave,
and that the owner of the thief was responsible
to the owner of the stolen slave for his value.
The case was one of much excitement, inas
much as negro testimony was admitted on be
half of the State to sustain the prosecution.
The jury found a verdict for the prisoner upon
the ground as stated by them in rendering their
verdict, that the proof/or the prosecution was
not satisfactory.
Northern Democrats and Abolitionists.
The \ ermont and Maine Elections prove
one thing beyond all question, viz : that the
Northern W higs are resolved to stand firmly
by the banner of Old Zack and Reform, while
the Democratic Parly is dissolved and virtually
merged in the Free Soil and Abolition parties.
What an inglorious end for the boasted Demo
cratic allies! What say the Democracy of
Georgia ? The Northern Whigs so long and
so grossly abused by them are firmly standing
by the Sugar planter of Louisiana, while the
Northern Democrats have turned Abolitionists
and Free-soilers. Tell it not in Gath! No
wonder that the Georgia Barnburners, Cobb
Lumpkin, Iverson, &Co. have been for years
engaged in preparing the public mind for this
result, by voting for the Wilmot Proviso them
selves, and advising Mr. Polk to give it his ofli
cial sanction.— Jour, Mes.
Has he Changed? —Cass has an impression
that the public mind has been undergoing a
change on the Wilmot proviso, and also that Am
own mind has. Will any of his organs inform
us to what extent , precisely, that change has ta
ken place, aud whether it has remained at that
point since the date of the Nicholson letter or
thf r * tr °? raded any ! Itisver y important to

Accident to the Steamer Vanderbilt.—
The steamer Vanderbilt, Cnpt. Marshall, ofthe
Wilmington and Charleston line, went out at
the usual time on Friday last, and when about
20 miles beyond the Main Bar, at 4 o’clock in
the afternoon, her main shaft broke short off.
She was got about at once, and with the aid of
her sails reached Smithville at 8 or 9 o’clock.
The next morning she was towed up to town
by the Gov. Dudley. The broken shaft will
be replaced as soon as possible. — Wilmington

from the fact that it contains much the largest

U 9 East Boston, May S3d, 184:7. --Mr. S.
j W. Powle, Sir—l hare seen so much of the virtue of
“ Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry” that I feel it my
duty to add my testimony in its praise. My son,
about 14 years of age, has for the last ten months
~ been afflicted with a severe cough, pains in the side
and body, and a gradual wasting, until he was but a
mere living skeleton. I had had the advice of three
physicians, but none of them could give him any re
’ lief, and gradually yet surely he seemed to be sinking
! into the tomb. Happening accidentally to see some
of your “ Free Almanac’s” we felt as though the
Balsam would help him , as there was some cases
that had been cured when they were as bad as he
f was. I therefore procured a bottle of Dr. Kidder, the
agent in this place, and before he had used all of it he
’ began to grow better, and by using three bottles, his
j cough was all gone, and he is now enjoying good
health , for which he is solely indebted, through the
1 blessing of God, to Wistar’e Balsam of Wild
Cherry. * Wm. Dixon.
s Dr. Kidder says the article has given universal
satisfaction to his customers.

UHastlng 1 s Compound Syrup of
Naphtha.—Not only a positive but a warranted
cure for Consumption, and all other Diseases of the
Lungs!
Dr. Hasting’s Compound Syrup of Naphtha
is the great remedy for Consumption , Decline , Asth
\ ma , Spilling of Blood, Night Sweats, Husky
s Throat, Wasting of the Flesh, Bronchitis, Coughs,
e Colds, and all Dieases of the Chest and Lungs,
This celebrated preparation is pleasant to the taste,
0 and is so speedy in its operations, that patients plain
ly feel its good effects in a few minutes after taking
B the first dose.
1 When Dr. Hastings had discovered the virtue of
t Naphtha four years ago, he announced it in a private
t circular to a number of distinguished physicians in
j various parts of England, with a request that thev
would put its medical properties to the test, and re
port accordingly. The result was a host of testimo
-3 nials of the most favorable character, nearly all of
which agreed in certifying that no medicine they had
1 ever used could bear any comparison with it in re
lieving hacking coughs, curing Diarrhoea and stop
, ping night sweats. It was also generally remarked
, to have a wonderful effect in increasing the appetite,
q weight, and spirit of patients; and Vo be a powerfully
, efficient remedy in Billions and Asthmatic diseases,
, Os these testimonials, which were all published at the
time, in the Medical Recorder, nine spoke of its ex
traordinary influence in cases of Consumption—each
corroborating Dr. Hastings’ opinion, that he had actu
-1 ally discovered the great secret, so long and vainly
r sought for, namely, a preparation that would stop the
9 formation of Turbercles on the lungs, remove those
already formed, and thus cure the most fatal of all
maladies, and which had previously been regarded as
being altogether incurable. Dr. Williamson of Man
-3 Chester thus writes •
3 “Under its influence, I have seen the emaciated
y- being, on whose brow Death had seemed to have set
3 his seal, acquire invigoration and strength ; and ex
change his early mornings of intense suffering and
distressing cough, for the calm repose which alone ac
companies sound health.”
* Dr. Ware, of Liverpool, says: —“1 regard Hast
| ings’ Syrup of Naphtha as one of the first medical
1 discoveries of any age, and consider its agency in
S curing Consumption as established beyond all doubt
e or question.” Dr. Boyd of Lancaster, “ Hails it as
a the great consumptive antidote and cure and Dr.
0 Hamilton, of Rate, pronounces it “ the only known
», remedy which may be relied on for removing Tuber
’s cules from the Lungs, and preventing the formation of
others.”
i_ . Hastings’ Compound Syrup of Naphtha is now be
: l n S use( ? ' n nearly all our hospitals, and is also coming
into rapid use among all our best physicians, for
coughs, colds, and all diseases of the lungs. It has
been recommended in the worst stage of consumption
n by the celebrated physician, Dr. Mott, of New York;
B and Dr. ot Savannah, Ga., writing to the
S agent at New York, under date of Jan. 30, 1848,
n says: “ I received the half-dozen Hastings’ Naphtha
Syrup ordered from you, and am convinced that
t Naphtha is the principal ingredient. Inclosed is
_ twenty-five dollars, for which you will send me two
dozen and a half bottles, I have two patients in the

The demand was good and sales were freely made.
We quote Fair at 5| cents. Principal sales 5| a sf,
extremes 45 a 6 cents.

At the close of our last report the market was quite
inactive, with but few buyers. On the following day
the news by the steamer Europa, seven days later

somewhat influenced by them, and sales have been
made at an advance of Jc. on previous rates, and we
alter our quotations to correspond with the sales. We

a s|; middling to good middling, 5| a s|; middling

The stock on sale is quite light, which may account
for the limited transactions. The new crop is com
ing forward freely, and as the weather still continues
dry and favorable, there will probably be an early
close of the picking season. The sales of Upland for
the week sum up 1,831 bales at the following prices :
