(From the Eagle and Enquirer.] ULAMA. ET L. VIRGINIA. SMITH. In Ceylon, there is a bird which the natives call flama. or the Demon-bird. Its screams strongly resemble the shrieks of a human being In severe bodily agony; and its cries (they say,) invariably portend misfortune and dcatn. Wherefore through the gloom of midnight, Comes this warning fierce and fell. Startling all the lonely echoes, Like a weird, unearthly knell ? Wherefore steals this fearful shadow From its dark, polluted lair, — What portends this blasting presence. Slowly sweeping through the air ? Woe to thee, —thou pale, young stranger,— For that warning floating by. On the haunted air of midnight Is the dread Uiatna’s cry. And the dim, mysterious phantom, With its voice of ghostly hate, Bears to thee the solemn message Os thy melancholy fate. Ah ! it hath an eye of terror, And a wing of heavy gloom, And its call is like a moaning From a world beyond the tomb ; Did’st thou feel that ey* of madness With its glances striking fast Deep within thy shuddering spirit, As the cry came wailing past ? Like the harbinger of horror, Once it cowered at my side, — ’Twas the morn when Marolita Should have been my wedded bride. Slowly moved the stately pageant, Yet the bride I was to wed, in her gorgeous, gemmed palanquin. Slept the slumber of the dead. Hast thy heart grown old and weary In the beauty of thy prime ? Or thy youthful soul been sullied By the messengers of crime ? Be it grief, or guilt, which cast thee. On the distant, Indian shore. Here a spell of death detains thee. Thou shait leave us—never-more ! Soft the rosy light of morning Shone upon that coral-strand. But the stranger had departed. To the silent, shadowy land. LINES BV w. o. OALiAOUEB, When last the April-bloom was flinging Sweet odors on the air of spring, In forest-aisles thy voice was ringing, Where thou didst with the red-bird sing; Again the April-bloom is flinging Sweet odor? on the air of spring, But now in Heaven thy voice is ringing, Whore then dost with tho angel* sing. n. j When the last maple bud waa swelling.

My heart to thine its lovo was telling; Thy soul with mine kept ebb and flow : Again the maple-bud is swelling, Again the crocus bloom;, below:— In Heaven thy heart its love is telling. But still our souls keep ebb and tide. Great Military Fete in Pari*. The Paris correspondent of theN. Y. Gut*,. Ad- i yertiser, has furnished that journal with tho fol- ‘ lowing very interesting account of the grand Mill- j tary Fete of tho 10th of May: Pa his, May 18. Like the Ides of March, the fetes of May have I come and gone. The distribution of the Eagles, | the ball at the Ecolc Militaire, and the dinner at the Tuileries, have passed off as was announced in I the programme; the monster fireworks will be | lighted upon the Troeadero to-night. "Sixty thousand men under arms, massed togelh- | er upon a level space large enough to hold them j easily, is certainly an imposing sight, and one that j perhaps Paris only is able to offer. But in a coun- : try whose army comprises nearly 100,000 soldiers, i itls not remarkable that a seventh part of the | whole forces should be collected in the capital, j upon an occasion like the present. Though the i • ceremony was strictly military, yet it was the civil - j iaus that'presented the most striking spectacle.— 1 A city let loose upon itself, and the neighboring provinces let loose upon the city, a million of peo f>le in the streets, and four hundred thousand at east in the immediate vicinity of tho Champ do Mars —without disorder, without drunkenness, ! without accident—everybody cheerful, polite, yield ing unhesitating compliance to the regulations, at times stringent, of the police—no scrabbling for places, no loud or profane talking, ‘uo vulgarity, no excess, no practical jokes,—such is tho marvel lous scene that withdrew my attention from the i gorgeous pageant upon the plain to the crowded ; embankments and hill sides that surrounded it.— i A people that will not get drunk upon a holiday, ! that practice temperance, forbearance, decorum, on occasion of a grand festivity, is always wonder- ■ fid in the eyes of an Anglo-Saxon, whether Briton ! or American. The temperance, contentment and frugality of the French are qualities that cover a multitude of : sins, many more than charity can excuse. What J it is in tho French that makes them upon general : holidays such a remarkable exception to the rest ; of the World, it would be difficult to toll; it is not the effect of any repressive law. for there is no law j upon tho subject; and if there w ere, tho people | would not be as gay and cheerful as they are; it is not the want of means, for though few on Mon- j day, for instance, drank brandy and water or any spirituous fluids, the consumption of mild beer, j liquorice water, lemonade, cotiee, ice creams, Ac., j was positively fabulous. All the disposable ground in tire neighborhood was covered with benches And table*; gates were taken off their hinges, and wide breaches made in stone walls, to give access to tended fields where tire dust might be washed from thirsty throats. Every body spent from ten sous to a franc, which would have paid for a glo- ; rious bacchanal, had the consumers been uproari- ; ously inclined. We can learn many a social lesson from the French, although they do allow' them- j selves to be led away by the nose in politics ; and i hardly dare say their souls are their own, iu reli- • gioni The Champ do Mars had been swept for the oc- j casion. The altar in tho centre was a tasteful and striking object. Tho dome was seventy-five foot high; the platform upon which the ceremony of blessing the eagles was performed, was twenty-five feet above the ground. A long and gradual stair case. interrupted by three broad landings led to . this elevation ; a large cross surmounted tho dome, i tiie altar was overshadowed by four veils {vela) formed of bands of rod velvet alternating with bands of some material heavily gilt. Tho whole construction was painted in white and gold. The benediction of the ensigns was performed by the Archbishop of Paris, assisted by six hundred priests, arranged in full canonicals. Opposite the altar, and built against tho front ofthe Eccle Militaire, were tho tribunes of the President and the great bodies of the State. With finch taste and elegance was this temporary struct ure erected, that it almost put to shame the sever er architecture of Military school behind it. Ea gles, statues, velvet, mirrors. Gobelin tapestry, Brussels carpets had been used as unsparingly as if they were to remain during tho President's ten years term. The two sides of the Champ do Mars were lined with tribunes erected by tho different ministries and public bodies at their own expense. The embankments not thus occupied were open to the non-paving public and were crowded at an early hour. The end opposite to the P-csident’s tribune was kept clear for the manoeuverca of the troops; but the heights of Cliarlott, on the oppo site side of the Seine, were covered with stands pat up by speculators, who had hired the laud of tho owners. Cannon began to announce the approaching so lemnity at a quarter before twelve. At twenty minutes past that hour, the President and a briili arnt stall' were descried crossing tho Pout d'Jcua and entering the plain. Louis Napoleon was mounted on an English horse, lately purchased by him for 300 guineas. lie rode rapidly along the columns of artillery, then passed to the infantry occupying the right of the plain, and to the cavalry posted upon the left. There was but little cheer ing, and very few cries of Vivo I’Empcreur. This is certain and contested by uo one. Dismounting j behind the altar he went on foot to to the front, ; bowed low to the clergy, who replied by u unan- , imous Vive Napoleon, and from there walked Jo : bis own tribune. He was dressed as a lieutenant colonel, and wore the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor. Ho sat down in front of the tribune, mid waited for the colonels of the three arms of the ; wcrvlcc, (infantry, cavalry, and artillery,) to assem- j , ble before him. To them were given the eagles ! destined for their respective regiments. The flags which they surmount bear the initials j ■ of the President and the Republique Francaiee; j , besides the names of the principal campaigns and I battles at which each regimen- has been present since its formation. At a quarter past one, the distribution being terminated, and the colonels be- j j ing all gathered upon the steps, Louis Napoleon 1 ' pronounced the short address which you have pro- j j bably already published. The standard-bearers j then returned to the foot of the altar, and a cannon i 1 announced the commencement ofthe religious por- ; i tion of the ceremony. During the elevation of the « Host, the drums beat to arms, the trumpets sound- t ed the charge, the troops presented arms, the flags . were lowered, the non-commissioned officers stood < uncovered, and a hundred one cannon j I fired iu quick succession. The Archbishop then i blessed the eagles, and delivered an address upon t a text taken from Jeremiah vi, i: Sanatificate Bel- Imu. M’gr. Libour has never pronounced a more ; remarkable discourse. The flagrant inconsistency I of the head of the church invoking the divine blessing upon the trappings of war almost disap pears as you read those glowing, earnest periods. The orchestra was composed of L>oo instruments, one hundred and eighty pupils of the Gymur.sc Musicale, and the newly invented trombones, or Saxotnbse, made by M. Sax for tho opera of the Wandering Jew. Only three parts of Adams’ mass were executed; the Kyrie Eleison, the Satu taris, and the Sanotns. The effect of this monster band can neither be imagined nor describcd- Immediately after the benediction, tire filing of the troops before the President commenced. Again the paucity and feebleness of the imperial shouts were noticed by all. As each division came up. its band stopped, and played during its passage, then giving way to the bund of the next aivision in or der. At three o’clock, the Champ dc Mars whs empty, the ceremony having occupied cousidera j bly loss than three hours.fe As the crowd returned home it found the President’s address posted in profusion about the streets. An army of bill stick ers had| been silently at work since noon, and in many parts of the city the printed speech was read before tho words had been uttered upon the plain. The peaceful sentiments which it professes are generally belivedto bo sincere, and such an inter pretation is certainly the most rational under the circumstances; but there is a class who always tor ture the language of an official paper into significa tions the revergfj of the apparent meaning, and be lieve fully iu the parodox, that the tongue was giv en to man, and especially to Presidents, to conceal their thoughts with. To such as these, Louis Na : poleou’s discourse ia full of warlike squintings, and a flagrant breach of European peace imminent in some corner of the map. Tho ball given upon the following (Tuesday) night by the army to the President, was the most marvellous fete ever yet seen in Paris—by our generation at least. It had been announced that the guests would dance in a tent; that may have been the original design, but tho tent swelled, un der tho tasteful hands of the architect, into a tem ple of solid foundations and massive proportions. But this is not the beginning of the story. At half past ten, tho line of carriages (except those of official personages, which were alio wed to follow n route ciosed to all others.) extended from the Eeole Militaire—the scene of the ball—across tho Fau burg St. Germain, the bridges, the Place de la i Concorde, to the Mnisou d’Or—a good two miles. > It required, on an average, three hours to go the i distance from one’s house to the lent. But every • body appeared to think that the result was worth ; the effort, when they had fairly arrived under the | cover of that miraculous marquee. The Court of Honor of the hotel had been cov | ered over, and converted for the occasion into a se | ries of spacious saloons or naves to receive the com | pany invited, the dancing taking place in the hall i occupying the centre. The entrance for the guests ! was by tb« large gate on the Place Fontenoy. The ! first room was a vestibule, at tho corners of which j were pilasters, the base of each being supported by 1 four large pieces of cannon—(he barrels upright : one at each corner, and a mortar bet ween each can ! non, surrounded by natural flowers. The upper ! part of each pillar was formed of sabres, holster pis ; tols and battle axes. In the muzzle of each cannon was placed a large i bonnet offlowers—geraniums instead of grapes, ; Before the door leading from this vestibule of th* | ball-room, stood two knights on horseback, in aom ' plete armeur, with a lance in hand, as if guarding I the entrance. Inside the ball-room on either side, ■ stood a column six yards high, formed of cannon balls, musket-barrels and sabres, the summit being I formed of lance-heads with their pennons, anil i crowned one with a bust of the Emperor, and the other with that ofthe President. Behind these j two columns were to be seen the cross ofthe Le • giou of Honor and the recently established milita ry medal, in oollossal proportions, formed of mili tary w eapons of every description. The ball-room was 70 feet high, 400 feet long by 240 wide. Down the whole length ofthe hall, were placed 80 pillars formed of arras interlaced, rising ; to the root and supporting two large galleries en circling the room and ascended to by wide stair cases. The excessive heat, however, rendered them completely untenable. At one end was the public entrance, and at the other, that reserved for the President and his immediate secretaries and the corps diplomatique. A slightly raised platform was constructed here, upon which were lofty col umns, made of gun barrels and trophies, and some dozen knights in ‘‘complete steel.” The draperies were of red velvet, trimmed with gold, and so rich and heavy were they, that it was impossible to be [ lieve they had been put up within the week, and i would be* removed before another sennight. Op por-ile and over the public entrance was the most formidable dancing orchestra ever yet collected in Paris, 800 instruments, 6 church bells and 23 drums, led by Strauss. Such was tho distance from the orchestra to the i Presidents’s tribune, that while Strauss was con | ducting the band with his wand iu one hand, he was obliged to hold a double magnifying opera glass in the other in order to discover when Louis Napoleon arrived. The ceiling was hung with SsO chandeliers, bearing 24,000 wax-lights. In the smaller rooms, 20,000 candles more. The ladies' supper room was covered -with 50 taffies, at which parties of6oo ladies ware seated one afrer the other. The whole space occupied on this memoriable night , by promenades and dances was no less than two acres and a half, and into this space 15,<>00 people j I were collected at one moment —at two o’clock in j ’ the morning. The arras used in the decoration of | I tho ball-room consisted of 24 mortars, 20 can : nous, 10,000 bayonets, and 12,000 muskete and pis ; tols. Persons who hod neglected engaging a ear ; riago could not procure one for love or money at three in tire afternoon. The President rode from the Elysee to tho Ecole Militaire by a route strictly shut to all but himself. Heopened the ball with Mdme. ■ i St. Arnand. wife, of the Minister of War: in the j same quadrille were Arnand, Gen. Magnau, the j Princess Mathilde, Mine. Bineau, wife ofthe Min- j istor of Finance, and Mme. Turgot, wife ofthe Min ter of Foreign Affairs—a complete family party, , tho coup d’etat indulging in a little harmless amuse ment. The President came at ten and retired at ; one. His presence excited little or no enthusiasm, except among the military, and tho dancing only ' commenced in good earnest after ho was gone. In short, the ball ofthe IJth of May very far exceed- j all the highly wrought anticipations that had i been formed of it, and is by common consent pro nounced the most sumptuous entertainment ever offered to the lovers of pleasure. Columbus. New Expedition- to the South Seas.—The • British ship-of-war Herald, Opt. H. Mangles ' Denham, and the armed steam* tender Torch, i Lieut. Chimmo, sailed from Woolwich, England, on tho 12th ultimo for the South Seas, to proceed byway of Sydney, and not around Cape. Horn. The London Illustrated News says that they go to the South Pacific to survey and explore all the islands between Australia and Valparaiso, and particularly the Feejee islands, and adds : “ Although Capt. Cook and several other navi gators have touched at these groups, and marked their position on their charts, yet very little is known respecting them, further than that many of them are surrounded with coral reefs, the land exceedingly fertile, and the climate salubrious ; and also that tho natives are addicted to canni balism. The Herald, although a frigate, carries hut six thirty-two pound carrouades and four long guns. The Torch has one long thirty-two pound pivot gun, capable of being trained in every direc tion, whilst, to prevent the natives boarding from their canoes, she will be completely enclosed with nettings. The experienced officer who has been entrusted with the command of this expedition is already distinguished by his love of scientific re search, his skill in maritime surveying and con struction of charts. Lieut. Chimmo is also an officer of considerable scientific attainments. Mr. McGillivray, the well-known naturalist, has been appointed to the Herald, to take charge of the department of natural history; and Mr. S. G. Wilson has been appointed artist, to make draw ings of any objects in these islands likely to prove interesting, and for which purpose he*ha;, been supplied with a photographic apparatus. The me dical officers have been selected for their taste and zeal in natural history ; and in short the Herald and Torch have been fitted and equipped in the most efficient manner for the long period of from five to seven years.” DevSFatch.—Tho storm of Monday prevented any work being done on board the ste*arnship State of Georgia until Tuesday morning at 5 o’clock. With in twenty-four hours a heavy cargo of 65(1 hogs heads, barrels and packages was discharged, and her outward cargo of 42 casks Rice, 484 bales of Cotton, 224 bales Georgia Domestics, 54 barrels Potatoes, and sundry miscellaneous articles, was taken on board, and sue departed punctually at her advertised hour, 8 o’clock, yesterday morning.— This would he hard to beat in any city.— ■ Sax. Rep. Dividends.— The Marine and Fire Insurance Bank of this city has declared a semi-annual divi dend of six per cent.—being at the rate of twelve per cent, per annum. The Central Railroad and Banking Company have declared a semi-annual dividend of four per cent.—being at the rate of eight per cent, per an num. The Bank of Savaunab, which has been in ope ration only a year, has declared a dividend of five per cent, per annum.— Sax. R*p. The parallelism of the Coal deposits es Europe and the United States, is a favorite theme for in vestigators. At a recent session of the Natural History Society at Boston, Prof. Rogers and Mr. Desor communicated some results which invalidate the conclusions arrived at by M. Elie De Bcamont, in his essay on the “Ancient Mountain Systems of Europe.” According to our home authorities, the epochs of disturbance in the great Apalacbian chain of this country and the Authradferous strata of North-western France, are dissimilar; an opin io contrary, to the arguments of the French (Llroniclt & Sentinel. AUGU ST A, G EOKGI A. SATURDAY MORNING JUNE 5. 1852. The New Orleans mail has failed for three days from all points beyond Atlanta. The Augusta Hotel.—lt will be seen that “Mine Host” of the “Augusta,” will be happy to see hie friends to-day. from 11 A. M., to 1 o’clock, P. M. New Post Offices * —The following new Offices have been established in Georgia: Neal Dow, Cobb Co., M. L. Ruff, P. M., Fairfield, Putnam Co., A. C. Philips, P. M. A Judge Turned Constable.—it will be recol lected that a short time since the steamer Fanny, from New Orleans to San Francisco, with a large number of passengers, put into Savannah, when she was condemned and seized as unseaworthy and for a violation of the navigation laws. Tho passengers had of course been swindled out of a large amount of money for their passage, and some of them, to save themselves, had the steamer's stores attached. They were advertised for sale, and on the day of sale, a portion of the passengers, some of them females, who saw destitution sta ring them in the face whenever the ship’s stores ehould be removed, successfully resisted tho efforts of the Sheriff to get possession of the stores for the purpose of exposing them to tale. This oo cured on Tuesday. The following article from the Republican of Thursday, details the events of Wednesday, in which Judge Jackson resolved himself into a constable and arrested the lenders : Arbest of the Ring-leaders on the Fanny—A Courageous Act.—The illegal proceedings onboard the steamer Fanny, Tuesday, having attracted the attention of the reflecting portion of the communi ty, it became evident that prompt and decisive steps should be taken to enforce the law' and \ in dicate the character of the city. The open and effectual resistance of the law by a parcel of un brecched Californians, in a community distinguish ed for order and soberness, was an outrage not to be tolerated. Consequently, Judge Jackson, of | the Superior Court or tho Eastern Circuit, accom panied by Lieut. Col. Lawton, the Commanding Officer of the Savannah Independent Volunteer Battalion, visited the steamer at an early hour yesterday morning. Judge Jackson informed tho pa sengors that they had been guilty of a grave offence in resisting the law. The stores of the steamer had been legally attached and advertised for sale, and be told them la plain terms that the law must and should be enforced. It mattered not bow unjustly they had been treated by the owner and officers of the vessel, nor how much claim they had to the sympathy of the community, the process of the court had to be executed and the stores removed. In answer to an inquiry, wheth er he would pledge himself that some satisfactory arrangement should bo made for furnishing pro visions to the passengers, he said he had no pledges to make and that the law admitted of no compromise. The community was distinguished for its liberality ; but be was not there to make them any promises ; he came simply to warn them i that the law should be put in force and that imme diately. It was understood that the passengers would offer no further opposition to the officers, and Judge Jackson and Col. Lawton left. Subse quently, Judge Jackson returned to the steamer with Sheriff Devanny. There was considerable excitement on board when he arrived, the passen gers threatening that the stores should not be re moved. Many of them gathered about him, ges ticulating and swearing as if they intended to offer him personal violence. It was no time for parley ing ; so Judge Jackson boldly seized the ring-lead | er by the collar, tolling him he was his prisoner, and forcibly dragged him ashore. The Judge once more returned to the ship, and with his own hands arrested three others and took them one by one ashore. Finding they had a man to deal with, the remaining passengers became wonderfully quiet in a very short time. Had Judge Jackson yielded an inch in the outset, it is believed tho leaders would have thrown him overboard. The officers afterwards went aboard and removed the stores of the steamer without opposition. The persons arrested were subsequently committed to jail. The conduct of Judge Jackson throughout this affair, reflects upon him the very highest credit. Too much honor cannot be accorded him for thus stepping forward and-setting an example to officers of the manner in which the law should be enforced. It is hoped they will profit by his courageous ex ample, and hereafter when the law is resisted, that it will not be necessary to invoke the aid of tho posse comnnitatvs , nor for the Judge to descend : from the Bench to perform their functions. } Central Railroad.—The Savannah papers eou i tain the following exhibit of the business of the Central Railroad for the six months ending 81st 1 Mar, compared with the corresponding period of | last yerfi*. This certainly presents a most gratiff- I iug picture, and affords an earnest of the future success of that Road and all the interests connected with it, fully equalling the most sanguine antici pations of its friends: 1851. 1552.

Expenditures for the same period, $2,218,204 —reimbursing the whole cost of tho road and yielding a clear net profit as $2,718,204, or over eighteen and a half percent, per annum. Hetwood’s Gitta Peroha Pens.—This is the name given t* an excellent pen we arc new using. They seem to be, says the Rome Courier, a pen that will last a long time, and prove highly useful to those whe have much writing to do, and may be used ou all kinds of paper. One great merit at tached to them by those who have tried them thoroughly, is that they will not corrode. We copy the following paragraph, in reference to the pen, from the Norfolk (Va.) Beacon : “This is the name of a new pen just introduced into our city by the agent from the manufactory. They are a composition of Gutta Pcrcha and metal, are durable, and will not corrode. Those who have used them think them superior to any other pen, and they arc commended as not required to be wiped after being used. The Gutta Purchaand metal arc imported, and the pens are now manufac tured in this country. The agent has met with good success.— A Letter From Mr. Toombs.—The Washington correspondence of the Charleston Standard under date the 25th ult., contains the following para graph : “ Mr. Toombs has written a letter home, in which he denourices, in the strongest terms, the movement recently made in Georgia to have the Whig party represented in the Whig National Con veution. You will see his letter in a few days pub lished. He says there arc but a few hundred (less than a thousand) Whigs in Georgia who favor the proposition, and that at least torty thousand of the party are opposed to it.” The river men of Pittsburgh propose to the river men of the entire West and South to unite in pro curing a block or blocks, with suitable inscriptions thereon, together with a united subscription, to aid in the constitution of the National Monument to WaeljiTtftop, I | Another Arctic Expedition.—Tho New York f ' Commercial Advertiser states that Mr. GrinneU’s i i ship Advance has been thoroughly overhauled in | the sectional dock, and one is now ready for sea. I It is said that Mr. Geo. Peabody, the wealthy American banker of Loudon, has expressed his j readiness to co-oporale with Mr. Grinuel in start ing another Arctic expedition from this port by i authorising draffs to be made upon him for SIO,OOO I toward that purpose and if the Government can spare the requisite officers and men, numbers being ready to volunteer, if permitted, there is every reason to believe that the Advance and Rescue may sail once more ou their voyage of peril and mercy, as there is still hope that the fate of the missing navigators may be ascertained. The Japan Expedition.— I The Now York Courier of Friday says; In chronicling the recent demonstration of re spect to the officers of the Dutch national vessel now in our port, it may not be inappropriate to announce, that so fur from the Dutch Governments j having remonstrated with the Government of the j | United States against its purposed expedition to ! ! Japan, it has very cordially approved of the object t of that expedition, and expressed its earnest hope that the expedition may be successful in opening ; the Forts of Japan to the commerce of all nations, j and as asylums for all who may seek them in dis , | tress. Nor is this all. Not only do the Dutch i cheerfully look upon the destruction of their mono poly, but they have forwarded to our Government ‘ all the charts, memoirs, surveys, statistical reports, * <fec., <&c., in their possession, for tho u«o of the | expedition about to sail for Japan under the dircc j tion of Commodore Perry. Teb “Weaker Sex.”—ln our country within * j the past two or three years, the greatest literary, I dramatic and musical triumphs have been achiev ’ j cd by women? Alice Carey, Grace Greenwood, i Miss Feunimore Cooper, Miss Mclntosh and now I Miss Cheesebro, have gained in literature imper- I Sellable honors at home and in Great Britain. Mrs. | Mowatt, Miss Cushman and Miss Davenport, in i the walks of the female dramatic, are far before any male actors that wo possess. And witness i tho triumphs of Jenny Lind, Katie Hayes and j Anna Bishop, in music. Was there ever a more i persevering radical ( not excepting Cobbert) than is Mrs. Swissholm, of Pittsburgh ? or a more perse vering litigant than Mrs. Gaines f Women the weaker sex ? Egad, the men must bethink them of tho despised tortoise, who won the race while the swiss-sooted hare took her forty winks. At the Grand Military fete at Paris on the 10th ult., it is said that of that large army ofSO,OOO men under arms in a hot sun, and of the 800,000 or 400,- 00'i spectators, not a single man was to be seen in the slightest degree intoxicated. The bill to lake the sense of the people at the Presidential election, as to the sale of ardent spir its in Maryland has we perceive passed the I louse of Delegates of that State ayes 46, nays 7. The bill, however, has been unfavorably reported on in the Senate, From the Baltimore American. THIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. Washington, June 1, 1852. Senate not in session to-day. HOUSE. The Secretary of tho Senate brought down the Deficiency Bill, with amendments. Mr. Houston, of Alabama moved to refer to the Committee of Ways and Means the bill and amend ments, and that they be printed. Mr. Hall, chairman of the Committee on Public Lands, reported certain bills, among which was that extending tho time for locating the Virginia military land warrants. The bill was then referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, and Mr. Henn. of lowa, reported from the same Committee. Mr. Cobb proposed, the morning hour having expired, to proceed with such reports as would not be objected to. Mr. Hall said he should not object to that course provided the Committee *u Public Lands were to do again called upon, when the House should be full, as there are several important bills, which the committee wish reported when the members are all present. Objection being made to Mr. Cobb's proposal, Mr. Jones, of Tenn., moved that as there was no quorum present, the House adjourn; which was negatived. Mr. Hall moved a point of order, and contended that ns there, was no quorum present, it was in competent for the House to proceed with business. Mr. Seckctt, ofN. Y., moved a call of the House, and the yeas and nays having been ordered, a mo tion was again made to adjourn ; and the yeas and nays having been ordered', it was agreed to—yens 84, nays 2S.

The St. Louis Christian Advocate of a late date, contains a highly interesting article on the “ Topo graphy and Hydrology” of the Mississippi Valley, accompanied by a table exhibiting the Mississippi and its numerous tributaries. The author was unable to ascertain precisely the distance to which i each stream was navigable; but ho has satisfied j himself that the aggregate exceeds twenty thousand- j I miles. From this fact some idea may be formed ; of the vast influence which this stream and its | : tributaries aao to exert upon tho commerce aud in- i dustry of (he North American continent. It will j j be seen from the recapitulation, which we subjoin, | that the total length of “ the Great River,” with nil its parts, is 51,000 mile?. • ■ Biter*.

They state also that within the last few weeks nearly forty ships have been aground ou the bar; for various periods, from two days to eight weeks , some ot wdnch wore compelled to throw portions of their cargo overboard, and others to discharge cargo into lighters, before they could be got through the channel, occasioning heavy expense to the goods, and great straining and injury, besides in volving pecuniary losses which cannot be estimated at less than $500,000. They further state that the duties of importa tions on foreign productions brought into the i country through this channel within the last year, , and collected in the city of New Orleans," was $2,260,790; which, added' to $700,000 calculated i there, but collected in the ports of Cincinnati. Louisville, and St. Louis, makes a total of nearly three millions of dollars of revenue, which goes into the coffers of the Federal Government. They do not recommend tho undertaking of any gigantic and costly work, with a view of perma j nently deepening tho channel over the bar ; but the opinion of almost all scientific men who have , given the subject their consideration, authorizes the belief that an annual appropriation of from ] SIOO,OOO to $150,000 will be sufficient to induce parties owning steamboats, to contract to keep tho , channel open by constantly raking up the mud, so f that the current of the river can diffuse and carry ( it forward into deeper water: and they believe that such parties would be willing to make this j compensation contingent upon the successful result of their work.

New Orleans, Mas 81.—The ship Tennessee from this port for Havre arrived yesterday, and re ports that in the Gulf stream on Friday night sue came in collision with the barque Fairmount, from Cienfuegos for Philadelphir, and sunk her in a few minutes.

He reached Utica this evening, where he addressed the citizens, about 1000 ticket# being sold at $1 each. He meets with large crowds aud..ruuoh en thusiasm at the towns on his route. Fire !—About half-past eleven o’clock last night, a fire was discovered in Mrs. McWilliams Milinery store, in Congress-street, and most of the goods in the store were burnt. The fire was providentially discovered before it had got under way, or the loss would have been very great, as nearly all tho sur rounding buildings were wooden ones. Messrs. Einstein & Eckman, who occupied the adjoining store, removed thoir goods, but w* be lieve no other person suffered any loss. The store was owned by Mrs. P. Solomons, and we understand both goods and building were in sured.— Savannah Republican , of Thursday. The impulse towards emigration to the United States appears to be working among the Swedes almost as powerfully as upon their southern neigh bors. The Gothehorgs Handels och Sjof arts Tidmng has the following: “ Emigrants to the United States of North America arrive here almost daily from tho interior. It is now quite common to see a whole train of wagons elosely packed with household gear and children moving through our streets, followed by j the men aud their wives ou foot. Some of these people have just sufficient means to enable them to secure a passage ; others are so poor aud destitute that, to raise the necessary money, they make a contract with better furnished emigrants, engag ing, in return for passage money, to serve with them a certain period as laborers after their arrival in America.” Socialism. —The real object of Socialism is to depress and not to elevate the social standard—to bring down distinguished greatness to the level of irremediable inferiority. This is what is roal’y meant by the changes which arc continually rung upon those cabalistic words, “libertv aud equality.’ It is not often, however, (says the Huston Journal,) that so frank an acknowledgment of this design is made as is contained in tho following paragraph from tho New York Tribune : “Great men do a deal ©f harm. They have bedevilled the world from the beginning. We used to regret that the term of human life is so short. We have grown wiser, and rejoice that people die so soon. Great men! What do great men do but mischief ? There is here and there an exception, but the history of this country and all countries hear us out in the declaration that th* principal public acts of the greatest men have been pre-eminently mischievous.” American Travellers Abroad.—The number of American travellers in Southern Europe is greater this season than ever. Probably no other foreign country has had so many representative? in Italy during the past winter. Scarcely n day passes in which one or more citizens of the United States cannot be found at one or other of our hotels.— Nine are here to-day on their way South. Among them 1 may notice Judge Randolph, formerly a member of Congress from New Jersey, who pro ceeds to-morrow to Constantinople via Rome and Naples. A gentleman who has juat returned from that tonr, mentioned last evening that ho foaud Americans at every stopping place, and in nearly every public conveyance. There were seven at Constantinople; and 18 or 40 boats that left Cairo for the Upper Nile while ho was in Egypt were chartered by joint companies of English ana Amer icans. It is only fair to add, that few realize rheir anticipations, and that most come to the conclusion that the pains of travel far outweigh its pleasures. I have not seen a single traveller who would be willing to repeat the j’ourney under any circumstan ce#. It has not even the charm of novelty for the attentive home reader of tho published researches of others. Many such readers doubtless have a • better notion of these countries than the rapid ton- I lists who run through them from year to year.— 1 The stream just now gets homeward.— G*noa i Carr.

On the following Tuesday he less Alexandria on his return, and after walking upwards of a mile, ho discovered that he had for gotten a package belonging to him ; he was there fore obliged to retrace his steps, and, after securing the mis?iug parcel he again commenced his jour nev, and reached this place early the same evening.

Jefferson county, Kv., on the 15th ult. by the Rev- Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Thomas Stafford was mar ried to Polly Gobcu. The bride is nineteen, and the bridegroom seventy-seven years of age. He weighs some 800 pounds, and is so fat as scarcely to be able to walk, aud when in bed raises himself, or turns over, by means of pullies fastened to the ceiling. He came to Louisville in a wagon to pro cure the license, and on his return was met by the \ young bride at Sam Lewi*’s, at the forks of the road, where the parson joined them, and the cere mony was performed in the wagon, and they rode homo together rejoicing. Characters of Great Men. Tasso’s conversation was neither gay nor bril liant. Dante was cither taciturn or satirical. Butler was silent or biting. Gray seldom talked or smiled. Hogarth and Swift were very absent-minded in company. Milton was unsociable, and even irritable when pressed into conversation. Kirwan, though copious and eloquent in public addresses, was meagre and dull in colioquial dis course. Virgil was heavy in conversation. La Fontaine apneared heavy, course aud stupid ; he could not speak and describe what he had just seen, but then he was the model of poetry. Chaucer’s silence was more agreeable than his conversation. Drydon’s conversation was slow and dull, his humor saturnine and reserved. Descartes was silent in mixed company. Corneille in conversatiod was so insipid that he never failed iu wearying. He did not even speak correctly that language of which he was such a master. Ben. Jonson used to sit silent in company and suck his wines and their humors. Southey was stiff’, sedate, and wrapped up in as ceticism. Addison was good company with his intimate friends, but in mixed company he preserved his dignity by a stiff’and reserved silence. Junius was bo modest that he could scarcely speak upon the most common subject without a suffusion *f blushes. Fox in conversation never flagged; his anima tion and variety were inexhaustible'. Dr. Bently was loquacious. Grotius was talkative. Goldsnith wrote like an angel, and talked like poor Poll. Burke was eminently entertaining enthusiastic, and interesting in conversation. Curran was a convivial dcitv ; ho soared into •very region and was at home i'n all. Dr. Birch dreaded a pen as he did a torpedo;but he could talk like running water. Dr. Johnson wrote monotonously aud ponder ously, but in conversation his words were close and sinewy ; and if his pistol missed fire, ho knocked down his antagonist witlr the bat of it. Coleridge in conversation was fill of acuteness and originality. Leigh Hunt has been well termed the |philoso pher of Hope, aud likened to a pleasant stream in conversation.

AIGIBIA MARKET. Fkipat. P. if. COTTON.—There arc a few sales to-day elmwing a de cline of Xto ;!« cent. There if scarcely anything doing and the demand is quite limited—quantity on sale sinvl!. Liverpool Market. EktraeUqflsttew received in Charleston\pe>r Arctic. LIVERPOOL, May 13. — Jfesers. Editors :—Cotton on Saturday, continued in active demand, and the sales up to 3 o’clock (at which hour business generally closes on that day) were, estimated at 12,000 bales, the Asia being tale graphed off, and the expectation that her accounts would give an additional impulse to prices, caused au extended inquiry, and before business ended 20,00 i bales were re ported to have changed hands at very lirm and advancing rates. Yesterday the market was more freely supplied by holders, who still continued to offer their stocks very f ee!y, and although the sales were to a limited extent, the ex treme rates of Saturday were scarcely obtainable, which may be attributed to the accounts from your side being less encouraging than was anticipated, and the desire of im porters te secure the profits attending late receipts, and thus realizing the wishes of shippers. To day a rather quieter feeling prevails, which, after the extensive opera tions of the past month, is natural, might be ejected; but although the business is not as weighty, cor. i nee is very strong, and prices are firmly maintained, to. w hich consideration we are much indebted to the continued and extensive operations of speculators, exporters at the same time lending material assistance in swelling the amount of the daily transactions. The sates on Saturday were 20,000 bales. 10,000 for speculation and export, 7,000 American; Monday 10,000 bales, 8,000 for speculation and export, 9,SO# American; Tuesday 7,000 bales, 2,500 fur speculation and export, 5,500 American. The imports for the same time are about 51,000 bales, principally American. Trices to-day—New Orleans Fair, 6#; Middling, 5\ ; Ordinary, 8# qj, 4# ; Mobile Fair, 6^ e (2 s#; Middling, s'-, ; Orui nary,4(&4#; Atlantic Fair, 6#; Middling, !>;■»; Ordi nary. 4 (2 4)# . The report of trade in the manufacturing districts is mor* encouraging, and at to-day’s market the transactions en tered upon were considerable, at last week's rates; in some descriptions of Varus andTwhi higher prices were paid, but this was not applicable to Goods. The only drawback to an increased trade is the firm stand assumed by spin ners and manufacturers. The arrivals of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour have been to a fair extant this week ; the demand Iras also been more active, and for the finer qualities of the form-r rather i more money has been realized. Flour is more saleable at last week's full prices, but for Indian Corn the same curren cy is scarcely obtainable. LIVERPOOL, May 19.—The sales of Cotton for the last four days, Messrs. Editors, foot up 89,000 bales. We quote New Orleans fair at 6>»d; middling, sy,d; Upland fair, 3#d; middling, sd. The sales to speculators are estima ted at SOOO bales, and exporters have taken C<»00 bales. To day there is no speculative inquiry, the demand from the trade being moderate, and pi ices rather in favor of the buyer. Holders, however, arc not pressing on the market. HAVRE, May 17.—The total sales in our Cotton market last week were 28,500 bales, against 86,500 import. Prices experienced an advance of 4 sf, the favorable state of our spinning ami manufacturing districts having given » strong impulse to speculative demand. On Saturday 8500 bales changed bands ; and to-day 8300, at the basis of >-4 francs for New Orleans tres ordinaire, s 2f. for Mobile, and 60f for Upland. The market closes firm. Our stock amounts to 93,00°. against 83,000 last year, and 46,000 in 1850. The weather is fine, and the etato of tilings, generally speaking, is satisfactory. CHARLESTON, June 4.— Goiton. —There was a mode i rately fair demand for this article during the previous week, i and the transactions not only showed a fail range of prices, ! but as the week progressed the better qualities acquired ! additional strength in consequence of their scarcity, and at the close of business there was a stringency in the terms demanded for these grades that rather improved their value. The Fair and Fully Fair qualities at the time were valued at 10# 0* 10#. The business of the week just brought to a close has presented quite au opposite state of things.— There were very few buyers in attendance on Friday and Saturday last, and the market lost a good deal of the buoy ancy that had characterized the operations of an earlier date. The aggregate transactions during these two days may be put down at about 1,000 bales. Monday was a blank in the Cotton market, as not a single bale changed hands, which is to be attributed to a rain storm that con tinued throughout the day. On Tuesday, several buyers made their appearance and bought to the extent of 1,000 bales, at prices indicating a decidedly drooping market; the sales, however, cannot be said to have established any quotable decline. Wednesday was a very quitt day, and the little that was done, was at similar rates. At an early hour yesterday morning the trade were put in possession of the Asia's accounts. During the day between 7ooand StJO bales were taken by buyers, who in most instances, it is said, obtained a positive concession. Under present cir cumstances we have no quotations to offer, and would refer to eur list of prices as being altogether nominal. The week's sales sum up but 2760 baies, against the receipt in the same time of 6252 hales. The sales comprise 78 bales at 7V; 2°7 at 8 ; at S3* ; 89 at 8# ; 209 at 8# ; 144 at 0; 92 at 9# ; 27 at | 9* ; 90 at 9* ; 230 at 9# ; 392 at 9# ; 134 at 9# ; 512 j at 10 ; 138 at 10#; GS at 10# ; and a choice k)t of 14G bales at 11c. The season, so far as the descriptions cla sed under the head of Long Cotton are concerned, may be said I to have been brought to a close. The little remaining on ! hand does not seem to attract any particular attention, but j when sales are effected it is at long prices. Rice. —The sales have been at extreme ranging from 3 18-16ths to f 4. The arrivals comprise 529 tierces. Corn.— The Corn market has fully sustained its former position. The receipts since our last reach upwards of 7500 sacks Western, which were sold at 78 and 75c., and 9000 bushels Maryland and North Carolina, the bulk of which has changed hands at 05@T0c., and two parcels strictly prime quality have even gone above these rates. Oaf*.—The receipts comprise 5500 bushels, 3000 of which have been sold at 48c $ bu«hel. Hay. —There was an arrival of some 400 bales North River in the early part of the week, which were sold at *1.06#. Flour. —The market is abundantly supplied, and the heavy stock has consequently depressed prices. The tran sactions have been confined principally to Ralfimore brand#, on time and for cash at 4#@,s4 S, barrel. Quotations for other descr ptions are nominal. Bacav. —The receipts of Sides and Shoulders recently have thrown a large stock on the market, and holders, in their anxiety to sell, have submitted to a farther reduction in prices. The market opened at lie. for the former, and closed at l°#c.; and for *hc latter 9c., and closed at B#o. L<ird.— About 100 barrels and 200 kegs have changed bands at 10#(g»ll?i. j Salt. —The receipts comprise 9000 sacks, which were sold i at 75c., cash. i Bagging.—About 100 bales Gunny Cloth have been sold 1 *tll#c. j Rope.— The transactions have been confined to small lots.
