From the Coast of Africa.
One of the most important events of which in
telligence has been brought by a late arrival is the
destruction of Lagos, on the coast of Africa. This
news was brought to Lisbon by the British steam
frigate Samson, which was engaged in the attack on
the negro town. The event took place on the 26th
and 27th of December. The English, vessels sus
tained a loss of twenty-five killed and seventy-four
wounded, five of whom died subsequently, making
in all thirty killed. The ships engaged in the at
tack were the Penelope, Bloodhound, Samson, and
some others, and the great loss of the English
squadron was occasioned by the Bloodhound nav
iug grounded on a sand bank within range of a bat
tery of thirteen guns. It is understood that these
hostilities were undertaken in consequence of the
refusal of the king or chief of that place to sign a
treaty for the effectual suppression of the slave
trade in his dominions. It was accordingly deter
mined to attack Lagos, and, after two days’ fight
ing, the object was accomplished, and the place
nearly destroyed, an immense number of natives
i being killed. The chief, or king, has also been de
ll posed, and another one substituted.
A despatch from Commodore Bruce, commander
of the squadron, dated on board the Penelope, off
Lagos, on the 2d of January, addressed to the Se
cretary of the Admirality, says :
*The instructions of the Lords Commissioners
offho Admirality, as far as respects Lagos, have
been most faithfully fulfilled, by the expulsion of
the slave-dealing chief Kosoko, and his people, the
utter destruction of his town, and the establish
ment of the friendly chief Akitoye, with his fol
lowers, in the seat of power at Lagos.
‘•Their lordships are aware that Kosoko verv re
cently rejected the proffered friendship of England,
and opposed, with fire and sword, the approach of
a ffag of truce proceeding to his seat of government
with Mr. Consul Beecrott, who offered to negotiate
and to advise with him.
“I therefore determined to send a strong and
well organized force to punish this refractory chief,
and having, through the energy and exertions of
Mr. Beecroft procured the attendance of Akitoye,
and nearly live hundred of his followers, near the
■ scene ot action, ready to take advantage of a clean
sweep when we should make it, 1 concerted mea
sures with Capt. Lewis I. Jones, of the Samson,
and Capt. Henry Lyster, of this ship, who were
both volunteers on the occason, and entrusted the
detail and execution of the service to Capt. Jones,
f seconded by Capt. Lyster; and their lordships will
see from the accompanying reports the complete
success with which the enterprise has been crown
ed.
“I am at a loss to do justice to the chivalrous
hearing and devoted bravery of these two officers:
Capt. Jones, who, commanding the expedition,
was no less conspicuous for his gallantry and firm
ness than for his judgment and energy ’; and Capt.
Lyster, -who finding himself, by unavoidable cir
cumstances, exposed in the Teazer to be summari
ly destroyed by the enemy’s guns, made a noble
rush into’ the midst of armed men on shore, and
with his undaunted followers spiked the obnoxious
guns, and turned the fortune of the day at that
point. It is to be borne in mind that our people
could expect no quarter, nor did they get any.”
The Daily News gives the following copy of a
letter written on board one of the ships engaged,
and which gives full particulars of the affair:—
On December 16, the Penelope arrived in the
Bights of Benin from Sierra Leone, and the Samp
son from Ascension, and arrived oft’ Lagos on the
# 18th, and found there only the Bloodhound and
Philomel, to the no small surprise of the commo
v dore, who had ordered every vessel in the Bights
to be there for the purpose of attacking Lagos on
the 24th, but by some excellent management, they
were all dispersed. On the 28d, the Teazer arriv
ing, as also a party consisting of some 600 of King
Atakoi’s people, who had marched down from
Badagang, it then became necessary to protect
these people, and the commodore not knowing
when he would get his vessels, it was judged ex
pedient to attack Lagos with the present force.
Accordingly Capt. Jones in the Bloodhound,
and the boat’s of the Sampson, left at lour p. m.,
and having safely crossed tne bar, anchored otf the
entrance for the night. The Sampson had pre
viously been moored as close opposite the supposed
ttk position of the other as could be. On the morning
IB of the 24th, two boats in command of Lieut. Sau
marez, Ist of Sampson, proceeded up and sounded,
p and were fired into by musketry on the right beach,
« which was taken little or no’notice of. Having
H ascertained the required information, they return
ed to the anchorage at 2 p. m.
Several large canoe- being seen on the right
* beach the Bloodhound weighed, and the boats un
der her cover landed and brought off six large ca
noes capable of bearing the whole of Atakoi’s force;
having given them to these people at 5 p, m. being
floodtide, she proceeded up the river to try the
depth of water, the Sampson’s boats ahead’ and
when off the first batteries, the enemy began to fire
round and canister with very good precision, which
wag returned by the boats'and Bloodhound. At
this time the Teazer, with tbe Penelope's boats, was
seen to enter the river, a signal was made to anchor,
r and it being dusk, the Bloodhound weighed and
| anchored along side oi her, out of the reach of the
pi enemy’s fire.
The 25th being Christmas-day, the men remain-
Dk ed in their boats, and nothing w r as done with the
f exception of reviewing and feeding Atakoi’s troops,
and placing round each of their necks a white
‘•ragjrsothat we might know friends from foes.
Thus we stood on the evening of the 25th, certainly
a miserable Christmas. At 4.80 a. m., of the 26th,
the following attack was then made. The Blood
hound, with Capt. Jones, led in; the port division
of boats, consisting of fwo paddle and pinnace of
Sampson, under command of Lieut. Saumaroz, fol
- lowed, then the Teazer weighed, with Capt. Lys
ter and the starboard division, under command* of
Commauaer Hillyar, of Penelope, which consisted
ot her two paddle-box boats, piunance, and the
rocket boats, each boat commanded by the lieuten
ants of Penelope, and the rocket boat by Lieut.
Corbett, gunnery lieutenant.
As the Bloodhound steamed up a terrific fire was
opened on her by all the batteries and thousands
ot musketry, which was returned by her with shot
and shell. She got up to her destination (with little
damage,) and then got aground at musket shot
from the platform battery. Then followed the port
divisions of boats under a complete storm of mus
ketry, grape, round and canuister, which was re
turned in good style from the boats, who pulled
up gallantly, and took up their position opposite a
two-gun battery, and which they soon silenced.
1 hen came the leazer with the starboard division,
which trying to keep away to bring her guns to
boar to cover the port division of boats, unfortu
nately took the ground and could not get off’. She
was there exposed to the fire of 20 guns. Captain
Lyster finding all attempts to get het off ofnouvail,
took the command o the star board division of boats,
and made for the shore for the purpose of spiking
the guns. Alter firing several rockets they effected
a landing, and took one battery by storm, spiking
its guns. The enemy charged’ them on each flank,
and a retreat was necessary. The enemy got pos
session of the paddle box boat, the Kroomen hav
ing jumped overboard.
A charge was then made to recapture, but flnd
iugso many wounded and two killed, they retreat
ed to the other boats and embarked, not, however,
without the gunner s mate, who was left in the
bout, having received two wounds, In this and
the next day’s attack no less than 72 were killed
and wounded. During this time the Bloodhound
had silenced the batteries, but remained still
aground, and the boats proceeded round the north
point and silenced one or two more batteries. By
this time it was 11 o clock, when they were all re
called and went to dinner, being annoved occa
% siouaily by the musketry opposite.
Atone, the Teazer signalizad her killed and
wounded, and was signalized to close when the
tide turned and she could get off'. At two, pm.
the boats of the Sampon, with a spiking party,
under command of Lieut. Saumarez, were ordered
to land and spike the trims in the batteries under
cover of the Sampson’s boat, in charge of Mr. Bay
ley (mute.) When they left the ship the place op
posite looked quite deserted. The boat pushed
tor the shore, but they had to cut through a stock
ade in the water, when the enemy, who were laying
in ambush, opened a terrific tfj, and in less than
ten minutes, rinding they could not force this stock
ade, they returned to the Bloodhound, having
Lieut. Saumarez severely wounded in three places,
Mr. Kichards (midshipman) mortally, (since dead)
and 11 men severely wounded.
At 4.30 the Teazer got off and anchored in deep
water, burned her dead and sent bar wounded out
of the river; thus ended the 26th. At daylight on
the 27th the Teaser weighed under a terrific fire
which was returned by the Bloodhound and her
self; she anchored astern ol the Bloohound, hav
ing had her gunner, Mr. Howard, as also some
men. severely wounded. The rocket boat then
commenced an opening fire, and the two steamers
and boat commenced shelling, as also the Volcano’s
and Water witch’s boats, which had then arrived.
The rocket-boat succeeded in setting fire to Tappi,
the second cluef’s house, and the place was in a
k* Commodore Coote then, took the boat, with the
rocket-boat still in command of Lieut. Kars hail
Ist of Penelope) and attacked the batteries to
wards the king’s house. This, and a little more
lasted till sunset, when the rest of the
were sent out. They left at B P . m. and
wore obliged to anchor all night off the bar, and did ]
not reach their ships till next morning at 9.80. On i
On the 28th, at daybreak, the town was found de
serted, the enemv having left on the other side of
the island in their canoes. The forCfs then landed
and took possession; 57 guns were taken and de
stroyed ; the paddle-box boat retaken with gun ;
and'Atakoi placed on the throne. Thus finishes
the capture of with it we hope the sup
pression of the slavPtrade.
The stockade consisted of green cocoa nut trees ;
thence they had no splinters. In each stockade
was a trench, so that when a shell was fired at them
they jumped in the trench, and escaped danger.
Each stockade had a ditch to communicate, so that
they could reinforce or retreat at leisure, Abont
15 feet from the shore, in 9 feet water, were bam
boo stakes, so firmly driven in ar d so secure, that
130 lbs. of gwnpower could not effect a breach. Our
total force was about 400 ; the enemy from 10,000
to 20,000. — Sun.

England. —The ministry were most unexpected
ly defeated an the militia’ bill. Lord Palmerston
proposed an amendment, upon -w hich the minis
try joined issue, and were defeated by a vote of
of 186 to 125. The event was unlookeil for, as the
ministry on the previous night had a telling ma
jority on Lord Neaz’s motion con cerning the Cla
rendon and Birch affair, receiving 187 out of 232
votes.
All sorts of rumors were afloat at Liverpool as
to who was likely to succeed Lord John Russel.
A coalition was expected between Sir James and
Lord Palmerston.
When the Premier announced his resignation,
the greater astonishment was felt, as no one was
prepared for this result. It is said in the House
that the Queen will not appoint Palmerston, but
that the Earl of Derby, will at once accept.
The Irish brigade voted with the majority, and
cheered lustily at the result.
Lord Palmerston proposed an amendment that
the word “local” should be stricken out of the bill
and that the force should be per ambulatory, and
not confined to England, Ireland or Scotland, but
should be sent to any quarter of the United King
dom, when required.
Lord Palmerston, in moving his amendment,
said that the country was not in t. situation liable
to war, and our peace armament was not sufficient
to meet the emergency of war. We wanted a ready
trained force ready for instant action. All objec
tions to the proposal of a regular militia were
founded in a district of the peop e, and implied
that Englishmen were cheats, .Scotchmen cow
ards, and Irishmen traitors. If wa could not trust
the nation to defend itself, we hfd better give up
the idea of defence, and send for Austrian and
Russian soldiers, lie was confident the people
would answer an appeal from Government, and
prove that they were prepared for defence.
The London Times says that possibly the Minis
try resigned to avoid fatal blows on the Cape ques
tion. If saved on the Kaffir question, they would
have been wrecked on the Reform Bill.
> Lord Palmerston will probably resign the task
of forming a new Cabinet to Ihe Protectionist
chief, who long since proclaimed bis arrangements
made, and had only to walk in aid take posses
sion, and that he had really no choice.
Lord Derby will likely be the Minister next
, week and has something in his favor. The Re
form Bill will not stand much in his way.
The Herald declares that Lord Dudley will be
prepared to take office at once, and that the event
was sudden but not unexpected.
The Post says this victory is worth the loss of
Palmerston. It was not a party but a national
question.
The opposition Peers had hi Id a meeting at
Earl Derby’s ; and resolved to off) r a most deter
mined opposition to the Reform Bill in its second*
reading.
A Mediterranean vessel had arrived at South

Ireland. —The Dublin Evening Post mentions
, on unquestionable authority that -some of the Ro
man Catholic clergy, who have become unpopular
on account of opposing secret societies that are
exclusively secular, have been served with notices,
1 to desist. Whilst the Catholic priests are preach
( ing against these combinatians, seme of the ablest
and most independent Presbyterian ministers

vehement objurgations against the landed proprie
tors.
, In the North of Ireland formidable combination
exists against the payment of rents, and such is
the state of alarm among the landlords that se

Belgium.—The correspondent of the London
Chronicle writes that French agents had been sent
to Belgium for the purpose of seducing the army
from its allegiance and sowing seeds of discord
and dissatisfaction among the people. Reports
were daily submitted to Napoleon of the proceed

The Catholic party w'as in 1881 the principal
cause of severing Belgium from Holland, and is it
not that same party which is most active in getting
up a feeling in favor of French alliance. The
clergy are almost all indefatigable agents of the

TUESDAY MORM.VO, MARCH O, 1852.
To Advertisers.
We would most respectfully request our advertising friends
to bring their favors in at as early an hour in the day as
they can, \tith any degree of convenience to themselves.
It would be a great accommodation to us, and enable us to
devote more of the labor of the afternoon and night to the
current news of the day from the Northern Mail.
The Northern Mail failed yesterday beyond
Charleston.
• Parties in Alabama.
It has been very apparent, for some months, that
there was no cordiality between the two wings of
the late secession party in Alabama, —one portion
favoring a re-organization of the National Demo
cratic Party, in league with Rautoul, Sumner,
Chase, Giddings, llallet, the Van Bureus, and
other such ‘black spirits and blue,’ while the oth
er wing evinced a decided antagonism to any such
alliance. A rupture was therefore confidently an
ticipated at an early day—certainly when the two
wings marshalled their lore is in convention.—
The conventions have met; and what was before
conjecture, is now history.
The re-organizers met some time since, and,
after expressing their high confidence in the Na
tional Democracy, whom they had so recently de
nounced as corrupt and unsound on the slavery
question, determined to send delegates to the Bal
timore Convention, to unite with the Froe-Soilers
in nominating a Presidential candidate. The other
wing, who now style themselves the “Southern
Rights Party,” met in convention, in Montgomery,
during the last week, and, as heretofore, repudi
ated the National Democracy entirely—adhering
strictly to their previous denunciations of them as
a party, and refused to unite in any political asso
ciation with them. In this they have been con
sistent.
As some of our readers may feel some interest
in the progress of events connected with the two
sections, we subjoin a brief notice of the conven
tion of the last week from the Montgomery Journal
of Saturday :
Southern Rights Convention.— The Southern
Rights Convention adjourned sine die yesterday at
2 o'clock, P. M. It had been in session during the
morning, and the night and morning previous.
Several counties were represented, and on the se
cond day the delegates iucrcas, d materially. We
have an incomplete list, and also imperfect notes
of the proceedings. We will, however defer pub
lishing them until we obtain them in full from the
Secretaries. At the evening session on Thursday,
resolutions were reported by Mr. Buford, of! which
an animated discussion arose. Most of the resolu
tions were enunciations of the usual generalities,
and passed, of course, without much cofhment.
The 16th resolution was, however, of a different
and more practical nature, and awoke sharp de
bate. It was in substance as follows :
“That in consideration of the fact that the peo
ple of Alabama and the other Southern States had
decided against resistance to the Compromise acts
—that consequently the Southern Rights party
would no longer press that issue, but would guard
against the future.”
This proposition of course startled some of the
most ultra of the party, who hold secession per se
as a first principle, and who are unwilling to yield
it to any expediency.
It was decided by them to be the real Georgia
Platform without disguise—a virt al striking of
the Southern Rights flag, disbanding of the party,
&c. This resolution was opposed with much ve
hemence by Moore, of Lowndes, Strother, of Dal
las, and others, and was sustained by Messrs.
Bulord, \ aneey, Elmore, and others, whom we did
not hear.
The debate on both sides evinced much ability
and eloquence. The idea of its friends seemed to
be the plain, common sense one—-that if a battle is
to be fought with any hope of success, there must
be fighting ground to stand on; that nothing could
be accomplished for their cause by the enuncia
tion of mere abstractions, but that they must have
practical, working ground, tangible to the masses.
We understood Mr. Yancey to sav, that although
there were objections to the Georgia Platform, it
contained good principles, good fighting defences
and bastions, and on which the advanced positions,
could rally, and man the guns which had been
placed there by the Union Southern Rights party,
driven from their own party. If the original
forces of the platform remained, so much the bet
ter—if not, it would be no disgrace for the South
ern Rights men to maintain that position until
they could advance further, lie believed,
however, many of the Georgia platform men would
remain, and by their means repel the further ag
gressions of the enemy, &c. lie had no belief in
the ability of Baltimore platforms, or repetitions of
resolutions of ’9B, with their different versions, to
aid the South, Ac.
The debate continued until a late hour on yester
day morning. A resolution was substituted for
the sake of harmony, stated by many who heard
it to be the same in substance. A resolution against
the doctrine of intervention was also passed.
Mb. Clay — An Eloquent Tribute. —Senator
Clemens, in the conclusion of his brilliant speech
on intervention, availed himself of the opportuni
ty to pay the following just and eloquent tribute
to the illustrious “Sage of Ashland.” It is a noble
and manly concession to the virtues, and patriot
ism of the distinguished statesman; and, coming
from one who has been politically opposed to him,
confers honor upon the speaker :
“ Mr. Piesideut, we have all read recently, and
none of us 1 trust without deep feeling, the opin
ion of the venerable statesman whose bodily in
firmity now keeps him from among us. Who is
there with a higher wisdom than his ? Who is
there with a wider experience i Who is there
with so few motives to deceive himself or others
us to the true interest of bis country \ llis voice
comes to us clothed in all the sanctity the 'grave
can give, with the added knowledge of existing
things, which the grave must take a If ay. Stand
ing upon the verge of the two worlds, and looking
back upon that which lie is about to leave, Jus
heart swelling with a patriotism little less than
holy, his vision clear and unclouded by the pas
sions and prejudices which dim our sight, lie tells
us that ours is a mission of peace, not a mission of
blood; that to avoid all interference in the affairs
of other nations, to preserve our own indepen
dence, to live for America, is a sacred duty, the
performance of which will best serve the cause of
human liberty in every land beneath the sun.
.Sir, 1 shall follow his advice. If my own judge
ment differed from his 1 should distrust it, and
feel inclined rather to be governed by the sugges
tions of him whom all men of every party have
agreed to name patriot, statesman, sage.
Mr. Dempster’s Concert, last evening, was well
attended, and if repeated and loud applause is any
evidence, the audience were highly delighted.—
The programme was a very good one, and he well
sustained his high reputation us a ballad singer.—
By reference to our advertising columns, it will be
seen that lie gives another entertainment this eve
ning.
“Kossuth left Cincinnati, on the 26th nit., for
Madison, Indiana. The day previous to his leaving
a large meeting was held, at which a committee of
fifteen were appointed to procure 50,000 signers to
a memorial to the Senate of the U. States in behalf
of International Law and Order. A resolution
was also adopted in favor of the U. S. Government
granting Kossuth safe conduct to Europe under the
American fiag when he desires to leave this coun
try.”
We have seen it stated that the distinguished
Magyar was so disappointed at the deficiency in the
promised “Materiel aid, in Cincinnati, that his
usual courtesy and urbanity quite forsook him,
and in his chagrine, he was rude if not insulting
to the committee. If the resolution of the Cin
cinnati Meeting, should induce the hope that lie
will obtain a National Escort when he takes his
departure, we think he is doomed to still greater
disappointment and chagrine than he exhibited on
that occasion. lie certainly merits no such distinc
tion, and has shown by his conduct, that the cour
tesies extended to him by Congress and the peo
ple at the North and West were misplaced.
Arrest of a Runaway Slave. —Sarah Scott, a
slave belonging to Mrs. Lyle, of Montgomery coun
ty, Maryland, was brought to Alexandria, on Friday,
from Fairfax cannty, Virginia, where she was
found in company with a man named Sheckles,
from New York, lie was also arrested, but subse
quently discharged, on condition of his leaving the
State in one hour.
These Virginians, we presume, think it bettor to
censure the public morals and to preserve the
rights and protect the property of the South, by
turning loose such a scoundrel upon the country
uuwhipt of justice. Strange conduct truly.

The Tennessee Legislature adjourned sine die,
on Monday the Ist inst. The Athens Post alluding
to the labors of the body Justly remarks: ‘‘The
' Legislature just adjourned has been emphatically
a working body, and we are highly gratified at the
important results of the session. The liberal policy
adopted in regard to internal improvements will
place our State in intimate relationship with all the
prominent points in the Union, and will not fail to
build up for us a degree of prosperity not enjoyed
by any other people. This measure alone, if no
1 other affecting the interests of the State had been
adopted would have been more than sufficient to
1 entitle the members to the commendations of their

Interesting to Many Persons.—A correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun communicates the following
simple rule for expeditiously} calculating interest
for any number of days at six per cent, per an
num :
“Divide the number of days by 6 and multiply
the dollars by the dividend; the*result is the in
terest in decimals : cut off the right hand figure,
and you have it in dollars and cents. Thus : What
is the interest on SIOO for 21 days ( 21 divided
by 6is 3>£, 100 multiplied by is 350—0 r 35
cents. Again what is the interest on s<>7B for 93

interest at 7 per cent.

obtained from a private letter received at Cham
bersburg, Pa., and communicated to the Philadel

On the night of the 27th of December, about
three hundred of the revolutionists made an at
tack on the Americans at Calderia, engaged in
constructing the Copiapo Railroad. The Ameri
cans, about forty-five in number, defended them
selves for some time, killing one man and wound
ing several others. The rebels then took posses
flion ofthe road, had the locomotives fired up, and
took the killed and wounded men, with about two
hundred of their pprty, to Copiapo city. That
city is in possession of the rebels, and most of the
prominent citizens are killed, or arc in prison.
The Americans at Calderia, fearing the consequen
ces on return of the train from Copiapo, fled for
safety on board the Bolivia steamer, then in the
harbor of Calderia. Mr. Wheelright, Mr. Camp
bell. Mr. Evans, Mr. AVm. Goodell. and most of the
stockholders of the railroad, with about fifty of the
hands engaged on the works, were on board the
steamer. Mr. Deßrnoe Goodell, formerly of Phila
delphia, was the only American left behind—he
had been pressed into the service of the rebels to
run the locomotive to Copiapo. The steamer wait
ed some tin# to get him on board. His train came
up just as the steamer left, but he did not make
las appearance. All his effects were on board the
steamer, but much anxiety was entertained for his
personal safety.

Two Millions of Dollars Obtained from a
Bank by Forgery I— The National Bank at Buenos
Ayres recently paid out t\w> millions of dollars on
t forged order, it appears that late in the evening
a man named Andres Villegas, of a respectable
family, presented an order purporting to be from
the Governor, for two millions of dollars. The
orgery was so admirably perpetrated that none of
the officers for a moment suspected it, and prompt
ly paid him the money. Subsequently they sent
word to the Governor that they had cashed his
•rdoi, when to their amazement they were told it
was a forgery. The police and other authorities
were immediately called into requisition and the
whole city ransacked ; and on the next da\ the
forger was found at the Globe Hotel, with the bank
iotes (some of which ho had exchanged for gold)
’ii his possession. The evidence ot his guilt was
‘O overwhelming that he made a prompt confes

executed.

The shaft which, was broken on the Atlantic,
during her late voyage from Liverpool was the
new one made in England, after the return of the
disabled steamer lust winter. We recollect when
the shaft was put in, an English paper asserted
that should the Atlantic ever again meet with a
similar accident ‘‘it would not be the English
shaft that would be found broken’’—yet the iv
suit proves that Johnny’s iron is as liable to crack
as Johnathan’s.
