European Intelligence by the Humboldt.
Correspondence of the JS\ Y. Commercial Advertiser.
London, Oct. 26, 1852,
There has been uo event ol' the slightest import
ance since the departure of the last packet, and
the total absence of any variation in the prices of
the public funds gives evidence of a continuance
of tae s imc political stagnation that has prevailed
during the past two months.
We are now almost within a week of the meeting
of Parliament, but the government have contrived
to keep their intentions wholly secret. The mys
tification, however, has been caused by the tae.
that supporters of the Ministry have from time -o
time contradicted each ot' er, some maintaining
that free trade -s, after all, the true system, ana
others still denouncing it as a thing that must be
set aside on the very first opportunity, under
these circumstances no one pretends to form tne
slightest opinion as to the announcements that are
to be anticipated, and hence a factitious interest
has grown up with regard to the first business
night of the session. *
Among other rumors, it has been stated that a
full and unequivocal recantation has been resolve!
upon, and tuat Mr, D’lsraeli will not only pro
claim the advantages ol a liberal commercial poli
cy, but will avow au intention on the part of him
self and his coileagaes to repair the omission* of
Sir Hubert Peel, and to carry it out in its entirety.
This is obviously nothing more than a guess, but
it is the course just as likely to bo pursued as any
otchr. As far as free trade is concerned, every
body believes that the government will probably
turn their sails, not merely in away to avoid
all danger, but so a* to take the wind from their
opponents. If they fail to do so, they will provoke
their fate with their eyes open, because upon that
point they can have no difficulty in estimating
their position, both us regards the House ot Com
mons and the country. There has, consequently,
tor a ion<v time ceased to be any expectation thatit
will constitute the subject of a real party struggle.
The next battle for office is much more likely to
be fought on some question arising out of our iO
reign policy. „, , _ , -
Meanwhile the position of Lord Palmerston con
tinues to boa mutter of speculation, and all sorts
of conjectures are hazarded with regard to it. A
teems to be the general opinion that his difference
with Lord John Hassell is never likely to be so far
healed as to admit of their balding office together,
and some therefore are disposed to anticipate tost
he will yet join Lord Derby on certain defined
terms ; while others of his more immediate friends
look to' the possibility of his being called upon to
form au independent administration, Neither of
contingencies, however, can be regarded as
probable. The rumor ot Lord Derby’s intended
recantation on the subject of protection, was ac
companied with the assertion that Lord Palmerston
was likely to join on condition that each should
have the right of naming one-half of the Cabinet:
but there are other points upon which the alliance
would he so wholly incompatible, that it could
scarcely take place without a loss of character that
must prove fatal. At the same time, although
Lord Palmerston is now approaching seventy, he
is never thought of except us a man in full vigor,
a* oqo who dosthioci ultimately to resume tho
post of Foreign Secretary, and who may influence
in that capacity for many years further the general
course of European diplomacy. , i _
Tne fun end of the Duke of Wellington, which ns
positively- fixed lor Thursday, the 13th of Novem
ber, is to take a more extended route than was at
first contemplated. The body is to ho in-state at
Apsley House, and the procession will proceed
thence through Piccadilly, St. James’ street, Pa l
Mill and the Strand to St. Paul’s, tha ontir-dis
tance being about three miles. Seats are beiaar
lilted up, and engaged at every available spot, and
in some cases as much as four hundred guineas
has been given for the use of an entire house on
the line of march.
Prince Albert is to be the chief mourner, an *
among the otner principal persons in the ceremo
ny will be the Marquis of Anglesey, who command
ed a division of the army at tha battle of Waterloo,
and is now in his 85th year. The last public oc
casion on which he and the Duke appeared toge
ther was at the opening of the Great Exhibition,
when they walked in the procession arm in arm
round the entire length of the building. Although
a year older than the duke, Lord Anglesey looked
muc:i younger, and he is at present in the posses
sion of perfect health. During one half of Ids ex
istence he has been a martyr to tic doloureaux,
in consequence of having undergone the amputa
tion ot a leg on the field of Waterloo; but of late
years ho has gradually suffered less and less. Dar
ing the past eight mouths he has been entirely free
from pain of any kind.
From the continent there is nothing new. In
Vienna there are increasing expectations of a new
financial crisis, and tho recent loan is at one per
cent, discount. The accounts from Prussia relate
chiefly to the abortive negotiations tor the recon
structiou of the Zollvereih or German Customs
Union, and the prospect appears to be Aus
tria will establish a system ot her own, and that
Prussia and some of the other states will be led to
the adoption of free trade, in which case she may
from her position soon acquire a supremacy over
all her rivals. She is at present, however, with
Belgium, an anxious watcher of the state of affairs
in France, since on account of her Proteataoism,
as well as of the recollections ot 1315, she is well
aware that her position is one of danger. Ironi
Paris the last intelligence embraces the details of a
visit of Louis Napoleon to tho theatre Fran
cais, on which occasion Bushel, who delighted
the whole population of tha city in ISIS by reciting
the “Marseelliss,” appeared as the historic and
prophetic muse to entreat the Prince to restore
the Empire and to revive all its grandeur in an ago
of peace.
The scrip of the Turkish loan has continued to
experience the most violent fluctuations, both on
the Paris Bourse and on the London Stock Ex
change. Advices received yesterday announced
positively that it had boon repudiated by the Sul- ■
tan, and that shipments of specie had already been .
made to reimburse to the holders the first instal-j
ment of 25 per cent. Os course this return would .
bo no satisfaction to those who have bought the !
stock at 11 premium, and as it is now unquestion- j
ably established that the entire contract was ap- !
nroVed bv tho Turkish Ambassador at Paris, as
well as by the late Ministry at Constantinople, the
claim tl at it should be ratified, or that an idemui
ty should be given to ail who ha vs been purchas
ers at a premium, will be insisted upon by every
possible' means. The affair is in all respects la- j
mentable. the financial honor of the Turkish Go- 1
rernment and people having hitherto been uu- ,
doubted. Austria and Russia are to be
the movers of the whole intrigue, and their con
duct, if such is the case, should operate as a warn
ing to tho holders of their own obligations, since j
if they are prepared to bring about repudiation in j
other countries they will not hesitate ro resort to j t
themselves when it’suits their purpose.
Consols at tho last date remained st I00)i, and
they have closed this afternoon a* the same price.
There is uo alteration in the value of money, al
though the trade of tho country continues to show
unexampled activitv in every department. Du
ring the past few weeks the shipments of provis
ions, liquids, and manufactured goods to Austra
lia, have been extremely largo, and freight has ex
perienced a rise of 30 per cent. Spectator.
Great Britain.— The London Times of the 28th
nit. has u very angry editorial respecting the Cres
cent City and Cornelia affairs. The Thunderer
lays down the law as if it were umpire between the
nations of the world; but it is either ignorant or
pretends to be ignorant, of the fact that the more
respectable and influential American journals, and
the Government of the United States have faith
fully upheld the laws and rights of nations in those
instances, and that no disposition has been mani
fested at Washington, or by any respectable por
tion of the American people, to violate good faith
or carry aggression into Cuba. The Times gives
the Un : t«d States the following gratuitous counsel;
which only betrays the ignorance of that journal
with respect to the Government and people of
this republic.
Powerful as the American people unquestiona
bly are in the defence of ail that belongs to
themselves, no nation has in these days the
strength or the means to run riot in the wo. Id, and
gratify its own lusts, and caprices at the expenses
of others. This rash and dangerous course will, if
adopted, bring them into collision with other
state-* besides Spain, ani they en f er into
such a contest degraded in the ey of the world {
by the popular violence and injustice which have :
dictated Uicse aggressions.
To conquest ofCuba will not easily bo effected j
by a mere bund cl freebooters, if indeed, another
Lopez expedition were allowed to quit the shores |
of the United States. But we fear that the Ameri- !
can Government will bo gradually led on to do, as ;
it didin the case of Texas, what every man ofhon- !
esty condemns. Let them not suppose, however
that such measures are to be taken with impunity i
because Spain is no longer the power she once was. I
America with the Mediterranean, and of inflicting
tremendous losses upon it bv means of letters of j 1
masque ail over the world. Except Cuba and Tor- ! {
to Kico, shfl has now no Western Colonies, and \
no important trade for America to assail. 1
Moreover, upon a question of this magnitude, t
and importance to all the maratirne states, Spain *
does not stand alone. We do not pretend to be j
*/vfntainted with the views ofourown Government ?
this subject, though it is evident that tho J >
Havana bv the Naval power of 1 I
the United States would boa change which no !
British Minister would view with indifference.—
But the course wnioh Franco may pursue ie stall
more obvious.
Louis Napoleon I aa every’ inducement to defend
the interests ot Spain, and to strengthen the rela
l tiona between his own Government, and that of
I Madrid. Nothing would better suit him than cm
opportunity of displaying and augmenting the na
val power of France, by espousing the cause of 1
Spain against such an antagonist; fbrsuchau ex
pedition would flatter the country, and occupy the
public mind, with no serious risk to any trench
interest.
However this may be, the firm and collective
resolution of the maratirne powers of Europe to op
pose the aggressive policy of the S ates,
| when it extends even beyond the North American
! continent to Cuba and to the Sandwich Islands, as
i the safe-guard of peace which might otherwise be
I sacrificed to the outcry of an “indignation meet
ing” and the rashness ot the American democracy
could hardly commit a greater act ol lolly than to
provoke such a contest, without being assured of
the countenance, or oven of the neutrality, o, any
of the powers.
Great preparation are being made for the public
funeral of the Duke of W ellington. The funeral
car will be very richly adorned. It will oe drawn
by six horses, and will be as lofty as the passage
through Temple bar will admit. A rich canopy ot
velvet will be erected over the space in St. Paul’s
Cathedral where the body will bo placed. The
whole of the galleries also will be hung with black
cloth, of which about 12,000 yards will be required,
and 6,000 yards of black drugget for covering the
floor.
Funeral of the Duke of Wellington.—The
preliminary arrangements for this great national
ceremonial are at length completed.
Tho plan of the interior of St. Paul’s Cathedra!,
showing the position of the various galleries to be
erected for the accomodation of spectators, and the
order of the funeral from the entry of the proces
sion at the West door to the centre, under the
dome, where the coffin will descend, has been sub
mitted to tho Prince Consort, whose approbation
was conveyed in flattering terms, and the works
are now in full operation. Mr. T. Cubitt, 2-1. F.,
has been intrueted with the duty of carrying out
the design.
Numerous shopkeepers on the line of the prose© -
sion promise themselves a rich harvest from lotting
seats in their shops and windows, particularly in
the Strand, where preparations have already begun
to b» made. In one house, near the Adeiphi, the
proprietor is arranging his shop (which had been
closed for some lime) with seats in the manner of a
theatre. For the front seat, we understand, he de
mands five guineas each, and for the others in pro
portion.
The ceremony of the “ lying in state” will, it i«
understood, be conducted on » scale of mag
nificence never before attempted in this country.
Chelsea College has been selected aa the locate
and probably a more judicious selection could
scarcely have beau made. The great Hall, where
the lying in state will take place, is an apartment
of noble dimensions, 150 feet long, by nearly 50
broad, and 40 high. The Marquis of Exeter, as
her Majesty’s Lord Chamberlain, has the direction
of this portion of the ceremonial.
His lordship, naturally anxious that so impor
tant a feature iu the national tribute to th© memo
ry of the Great Duke should be at once worthy of
the country and the man, wisely placed the matter
in the hands of one of the first architect of the
day, Professor Cockerell, E. A., who at once pre
pared a series of beautiful sketches. These designs
have already received the warm approval of her
Majesty and Prince Albert, and the progress of the
works is only delayed by the care necessary in the
removal of those time-honored relics in th© shape
of captured flags, with woich the walls of the old
hall ar hung. Many of these flags were taken is
the Duke of Wellington's own battles, audit is
intended that ail these shall be introduced in the
decoration of the chamber after the walls have
heed draped.
The windows will be all dark, and the only light
obtained will be from colossal wax candles in sil
vered candelabra 14 feet high, of which there are
nearly 100 placed al stated intervale along the
ball, which will be lined with men of the Grena
dier Guards (the Duke’e regiment) with their
arms reveled.
The heraldic and armorial decorations have been
arranged with the greatest accuracy, and it is be
lieved the effect of this portion of the ceremonial
will far exceed anything of the kind witnessed of
lute years. Sir C, Young, Garter King at Arms, is
devoting himself to all important matters within
his department. It is understood that her Majes
ty will attend the ceremonial of the lying in state
in person, and that the period during which the
puo;ic will be al'owed to view it will be increased
from three to six days.
Even under this arrangement there will no
doubt be many and serious disappointments. The
interest felt throughout the country in the matter
is already beginning to manifest itself, and excur
sion trains are advertised to run daily during the
ceremonial from all the important towns in the
kingdom. Tne public will be admitted without
tickets. The Audience Chamber, at the Horse
! Guards, is in course of preparation for the recep
tion of the body on the night before the funeral.—

France.—The Council of State was to open its
session on Thursday, the 28th ulr., under the presi
dency of M. Baroche, vice-president. La Pair it
of the 271 h ult. says : “It is not known whether
He Highness, Mgr., the Prince President, will
honor this imposing ceremony with hia presence.”
I The same journal publishes a list of twenty projects
j of laws and decrees to be considered during the
i course of the session. They relate chiefly to pub
* lie works.
The Courier du Havre learns that the Minister
of Marine has diricted the officials at the prinei
pal commercial ports to report to him, as encedih
as possible, the number ot passengers arrived, or
departed from France for the two Americas, or for
the Antilles, during the years 184 T-51. The object
of this demand is to obtain information to be used
| iu connection -with the establishment of line* of
trans-Atlantic packet ships.
Thera is no further or more definite information
respecting tho declaration of the Empire. Eumor
supposes that the electors will be convoked for the
2l=t ot November to vote, and the Legislative
Corps summoned for the 28th, to count tho vote.
In such case there would be nothing to prevent the
proclamation of the Empire on the 2d of Decem
ber.
The Paris correspodent of the London News
saje that Ministerial Councils, presided over by
Louis Napoleon, are frequent and protracted.
There is also a report that, before the Empire is
! declared, Louis Napoleon will visit the North of
France.
The Constitutionel announces that great addi
tions were to be made to tho port of Havre. The
harbor is to be increased, new docks are to be es
, üblished, and now works constructed for the de-
I fence of the roads and port.
It was said, with reference to the Empire, that but
one article would be submitted to the people, to
the effect that “the French Empire shall oe neredi
tary, iu the direct line of the family of Louie Na
poleon, but in the event of tho Emperor having no
male issue, he shall have the right of naming his
successor.
The reduction of the army by on© hundred and
fifty thousand men is confidently anticipated. This
j looks as though iu reality “the Empire meant
, peace.”
A grave discussion ia on foot whether the title
of tha Emperor shall be Louis Napoleon 1., or
Napoleon 111.
The signatures to the petitions and addresses,
; demanding the establishment of the Empire, are
[ now completed from the department of the Marne.
They amount to seventy thousand four hundred
and sixty-six. several thousands more than at the
elections of the 10th December.
Holland.—The Dutch Government has just
published statistical returns from which it appears
that iu 1851, the imports exceeded those or the
proceeding year by 81,000,000 florins, the exports
by 18,000,0*00 flor.; and transit by 6,000,500 flor.
Among the imports coffee presented au increase of
7.000. kilog.; rice 6,000,000 kiiog.; and sugar
8.000. kilog.; and gold iu ingots and silver in
bars, 12,000,000 florins.
In exports there was an increase of 700,000 kilog.
in butter, 8,000,000 kilog. in cotton, 10,000,000
kilog. iu coffee, and 8,00#,00# in rice. ; whilst in
oxen there was an increase of 8,8*7, in calves of
5,512, iu pigs of 3,916, iu sheep 20,0*0, and in
lambs 6,*00. In the commerce of tranait there
was an increase of B,o*o loot* in rye, 1,56*,000
kilog. in rice, 6,000,000 kilog. iu sugar. In naviga
tion there was an increase of I*B ships, and in bur
den 60.311 tons.
In ships in ballast there was a diminution of I*4,
butthe tonnage was greater by 4155. The number
of vessels wnich sailed was less by 408, and the
burden was 18,002 tons; but of those that loft in
ballast three was an increase of 549 in number,
and 97,908 in tonnage. In steamers entered there
was an iucrea-e of 82 with freight, and <4 in bal
last; and of those that sailed 188 loaded and 17
ballast.
Spain.—Madrid Journals are to the 20th of Oc
tober. The Clamor Publico states that the Govern
ment intends to defer tho construction of the
Northern Krilway until the lines from Madrid to
' alencia, fm>m Barcelona to Madrid, and from Alar
to Santander, shall have been completed, from a 1
tear that a monetary crisis might be produced by
tho withdrawal of the capital necessary for the
construction of so many lines simultaneously.
. A madrid letter of the 20th s:—“ General Au- ,
pick, the French Ambassador, since his return
from Bordeaux, has loudly expressed the interest ]
felt by the Prince President toward Spain, and hie
warm desire to strengthen a« much as possible th# i
bonds of friendship and good intelligence which
now exist between the two nations and their go- ,
vernmenls.”
Stria.—Malta, Got. 17.—Affairs in Syria are (
looking dark. Letters from Beirout, of the 29th t
September, announce that in the event of the c
Druses manifesting further opposition to tho Sul
tan’s orders, the Seraskier, who has placed him- j
self at the head of 15,000 men, bad resolved to J
aUttck them. i e
Tlie extreme measure would not, however be re- I j
sorted to, until the great caravad, loaded with pro- ! r
visions for the pilgrims of Mecca, had attached a j
position of safety from th© attacks of the Dm*©*, 1 *
who would not hesitate to pillage it, if hostilities I
had commenced. At present they have retired to i
the most inaccessible parts of the Haourau. In ,
the meantime the Seraskier has ordered several of 1
the Druses to his camp, and as some have obeyed, \ <
; the apilling of blood may yet be spared. * h
TVbkby—Late intelligence from Constantinople,
October 25, is that serious disturbances had bro
j ken out in that city.
‘ Also that the French Ambassador had notified
the Turkish Government that, if within seven
days the refusal of the loan was not recalled he i
should demand his passports.
Mouhtar Bay was about to proceed to Alexan
dria, on a mission from the Government. It was
stated in the iast accounts from Constantinople that
the plague had broken out on the frontiers of Per
sia ; but the Board of Health of Constantinople
has declared that the malady w'hich prevails there
is not the plague, but the cholera. On the Bth ult.
four hundred merchant vessels had, owing to a
favorable wind, entered the port of the Bospho
rous. Such an extraordinary number of vessels
caused some confusion, and one of them, an En
glish one, which had not performed its quarantine
having thus violated the sanitary regulations, the !
Board of Health, had placed the city of Constanti
nople and its environs under a quarantine of five
days. Accounts from the Dardinelles represent
that great activity continues to prevail in the im
perial dock-yard.
India.—A telegraph dispatch, via Trieste, in an
ticipation of the arrival of the overland mail is
published in the London journals, conveying in
telligence that a brigade of the British army, ac
companied by Gen. Goodwin, had left Rangoon for
Proms. The steamers were to return imrnediate
for a second brigade. The Burmese had destroyed
Promo, and bad posted themselves on heights ten
miles off.
Miscellaneous.—The Morning Herald announ
ces that ten line of battle ships being built, or
about to be built, are ordered to be fitted with
screw propellers. The Koyal Albert is also about
to be lengthened thirty-five feet, and fitted with
engines of 1,000 horse’power. She will carry 120
guns, and be of 4,100 tons burthen.
The Duke of Terceira, with an aide-de-camp,
and several staff officers, had arrived at Southamp
ton in the etearaship Tagus, deputed by the Portu
guese Government to be present at the funeral of
the Duke of Wellington.
Letters from St. Petersburg, dated Oct. 15, re
j port that cold weather had suddenly sertn, and
i snow had fallen. The exportation of tallow’, it was
supposed, would be impeded.
: The report that Mai. Beresford, the present. Se
cretary of War, is to be Governor General of tba
{ West Indies, appears to be believed.
It is said that the Spanish Cortes will re-arsem- j
ble in the latter part of November.
Letters from Santander announce that in addi- j
tion to the soldiers embarked on the frigate Pe- |
draza, recruits have arrived there to be sent to
Cuba, The city authorities carefully inspected the
ships which were to convey these recruits. The
soldiers were full of ardor.' All were voluntarily
drafted from their respective corps, having de
minded the favor of being admitted to tills »er
vioe.
It is rumored at Vienna, that the Emporor of
Austria contemplates withdrawing himself from
j the command of the army, in order to devote more
attention to affairs of state. In that case, the
\ Archduke Albert will be appointed field-marshal,
( and commander-in-chief.

i Dees Killing in Virginia,— An not was passed
! the last Legislature of Virginia concernin': the
j killing of deer, which provides that if any person
: shall be found in possession of a deer, or shall kill
i one, in any year, m any county lying west of the
! Blue Ridge, and east of the Alleghany, between
I the first of January and the first of August, ho
j shall forfeit five dollars, unless the deer shall be
his own, tamed or in a park.
This is a most wise law’, except that the penalty
should hrve been fifty instead of five dollars, and
ought to be enacted in every State in the Union.
The truth is, in most of the States, in reference to
game laws, we are not a degree removed from the
Indians ; as every man, who can do so, is permit
ted without restraint to destroy as much game as
possible at all seasons of the year. Hence, birds
are destroyed with nests full of eggs or young
broods, which are left to perish, and the same
course is pursued in relation to deer and even
other species of game. Under ihe salutary regula
tion of stringent game laws, game would be as
plenty in many portions of Georgia as it was fifty
years ago, when now a haunch of venison is scarce
ly ever seen. Lei a law bo enacted that while all
game animals and birds are breeding or rearing
their young, they shall be protected from the van
daiism of the age, ami we shall soon see game of
every description much more plenty.
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad.— Since the i
I citizens of New Orleans have been roused up, and !
I have actually entered upon the great work of build- j
ing Railroads, they seem intent upon going ahead j
with railroad speed. This is as it should be, and i
we are gratified to perceive that the Cbief-Engi- :
ueer of the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad
advertises that sealed proposals will bo received
for the grading, masonry, piling and bridging of
the road from Lake Maurepas to the State lino of
Mississippi, a distance of 51 ryilee ; also, for the
masonry required on the firsc 86 miles of the road
from the city to the Lake at South Pass Manchac.
Frost in Charleston.—W© are gratified to learn
that there was a heavy frost in Charleston yester
day morning—and the thermometer was below the
freezing point. The yellow fever baa therefore
taken its departure, for this season at least. There
is, therefore, no longer any danger (obe apprehend
ed from visiting the city.
Frost.—We wore visited yesterday morning
with s very heavy whit© frost—unusually heavy
for so early in the season. Ther themometer was
down to about Su, and water froze. Tba de
struction to vegetation was complete.
Large Potato.—The Picayane has been pre
i sented with a Sweet Potato grown near the city of i
! New Orleans, weighing, when first dug, fifteen |

stant was received to-day, with a draft enclosed
for One Hundred and Sixty-one 75-100 Dollars, be
ing the amount contributed at the election polls in
“ Augusta," on the 2nd inst., by the patriotic citi
zens to aid in the completion of the National Mon
ument to Washington, for which be pleased to ac
cept the sincere thanks of the Board of Managers,
and convey to the generous contributors an assu
rance of the grateful feelings of the Managers for
this substantial aid.
Most sincerely yours,

European Rail Roads. —An article in the New
Fork Tribune, in stating that Great Britain is |
completely ribbed with Railroads, estimates the j
amount of British investments in them at notices 1
than five hundred millions of dollars, and it may !
very considerably exceed that sum. And the con- j
struction of railroads is evidently yet in iteinfancy. |
Already one may take a car in the Scotch High
lands, and with the single interruption of a two j
houfs’ water transit from Dover to Calais, ride by i
rail through London, Paris. Brussels, Berlin, Dres
den, Vienna to Trieste, on the Adriatic; and soon
Warsaw, St. Petersburgh, Moscow, Prague, Gene
va, Milan, Romo, Turin, Marseillaa, Madrid, Lis
bon, Ac., will all be knit together by a web of rail
roads, easily traversed at the rate of five hun
dred miles per day, and bringing any capital of
Europe within three or four days’ ride at farthest
of any other.
The Cumberland Journal states that the Cum- :
berland Coal and Iron Company are now building i
fifteen schooners, of 400 tons each, to transport .
their coal to the New F*ork market by sea; also j
forty scows of 200 tons each, to navigate the Ches- i
aneake and Delaware and Raritan Canals, by j
means of steam tugs for the same purpose. They
contemplate a business next season of not less j
than 600,000 tons.

The rumor that Gen. Pierce intends shortly to i
pay a visit to Virginia appears to bo unfounded. !
A Concord paper states, “by authority,” that he i
will not change hie present residence until he re
moves to Washington.
Hon. S. S. Phelps, late U. S. Senator from Ver
mont, baa accepted an invitation from the citizens
of Middlebury (Vt.) to deliver a eulogy upon Mr.
Webster. He has also been invited to deliver a
eulogy at Montpelier before the Legislature, now
in session.
The amout collected on the day of the Presiden
i tial election at twenty-two places (all that have yet
been heard from) in aid of the Washington Mon u-
I ment Fund amounts to $6,684 71. If collections
i had been made in the same ratio in al! parts of the
United States, the aggregate amount would have !
been sufficient to finish tho Monument.
Obsequies in honor of Mr. Webster will take !
place in New York city this day, (Tuesday.)— j
Great preparations are making in order to render 1
them iu the highest degree imposing.
Finances of Georgia. —The money article of the
N. F'. Evening Post has the following :
The debt of the State of Georgia is about or un
der "three millions of dollars,’ contracted for a |
railroad 140 miles lontr. (through tho only gap in I
the mountains from Maryland to Alabama,) run- 1
uing to the Tennessee river. The Western and !
Atlantic Railroad is owned exclusively by the :
State of Georgia. It is the only connecting link !
in the railroads on the Western side of the moun- |
tains with the South and South-west; and, of j
course, none others fan be built to compete with !
it without a charter from the State. Tne income I
of the railroad has increased 100 per cent, within j
this year, and a double track will be absolutely ne- I
cessary to accommodate the freight and travel.
Railroads are made and being constructed, both
on tiie and West, to connect with it, and the
Legislature has provided by lax for all the interest
on the debt and expenses of the State, and appro
priated the interest of the road to redeem the
bonds.
It can be sold for four millions cash; end the
Chief Superintendent thinks that the income will
be net from 8 to 15 per cent, on the three millions;
and, if the State be not compelled to make a dou
| bio track to accommodate the increasing business ’
; of tho road, the Comptroller will be a purchaser of
I the bonds in loss than two years.
I The interest and coupons on all Georgia stock
| have been regularly paid, and no State or States
| can make better bonds than hers are. Yours, Ac.,
[Signed] G. B. Lauab.
Banks. —The Washington correspondence of the
•Courier and Enquirer contains an abstract of the
annual statement o: the condition of the Banks of
the United States, as communicated to Congress i
by the Secretary of the Treasury, at tho close of
the session in Aug. list. From s table exliibiting
the affairs of banks mukingretaras nearest to Ja a. ;
1851, it appears that there - were then 737 Banka i
and 128 branches, making 865 Banking institu
tions, of w’hich returns were received at the Treas
ury Department. From the abstract above referred
to it appears that there was an increase of banking
capital : n 1851 over the preceding year of some
what over five per cent. Tho number of banks
and branches increased at about the same rate.—
The expansion of bank credits was over $46,000,- |
000, or 18.2 par cent. The amount of stocks held :
by the banka augmented 12.2 per cent. The value
of real estate diminished. Tho specie iu oil the,
banks was, in round numbers, $52,000,000, and
the increase within the year w r ae $6,536,000 or
i about 15 per cent. The most considerable advance
took place in the items of circulation and deposits.
The circulation
per cent. The deposits* >0,000,000, 18 per cent.
These figures, though indicating a general exten
sion of banking business, do not show a state of
rthioga calculated to excite any uneasiness in the
minus of prudent men.— Balt. Amer.
Revolutionary Movement on the Eio Grand*,
—Our telegraphic correspondence announces the
receipt ol advices from Browns' die, on tho Rio
Grande, to the sth instant, containing accounts of
a lato revolutionary movement at Matamoraa,
which terminated in the route of the Government
forces by tho insurgents. The following particu
lars are given ;— Nat. Intel.
On the 2d inst., a portion of the National Guard
stationed at Matamoros revolted, and crossed to
the American side of the Rio Grande, where they
raised the revolutionary standard, and soon had »
well-armed and organized force ot six hundred
men, when preparations w’ere made to re-cross the
river and attack Matamoros.
The revolutionary troops succeeded iu crossing
to the Mexican side on the 4lh inst., and immedi-
ately took up their line of march towards Matamo~
moros.
General Avalos, with 1,500 Government troops,
had been sent out by Cardenas, the Governor of
Taraaulipas, to meet them, and a battle soon en
sued. The insurgents fought with great bravery,
and notwithstanding the government troops out
numbered them almost throe to one, they soon
put Gen. Avalos to flight, and routed his troope
with considerable loss of life. Avalos and his
scattered forces fled to Matamoros, where prepar
ations were making to repel the insurgents.
The revolt was occasioned by the appointment
of Cardenas as Governor, whose usurpations have
made him very objectionable to the people,
Mb. Webster and the Hartford Convention.
The New York Tribune, in reply to a correspon
dent, says that Mr. Webster wae not a member of
the famous Hanford Convention. Ho was in at
tendance at Washington as a member of Congress
at the time the Hartford Convention was in ses
sion. Mr. Webster was then a resident of his na
tive New Hampshire, which, though decidedly fed
eral in politics, declined to send delegates to Hart
ford, though one or two appeared there as repre
sentatives of a particular portion of New Hamp
shire.
Commerce of Boston.— During the quarter end
ing the 30th Sept, there were 1,151 foreign arrivals
at the port of Boston, being an increase of 172
?ver the same quarter last year, although the
amount of duties exhibit a decrease of $39,117.
rol. J. R. Gilmer, a cotton planter in Caddo Par
sh, Louisiana, will make and send to market this
>car. three thousand bales of cotton. The crop
m Red River will be an enormous one, from the
icoount given of it.
Raleigh and Gaston Railroad.— The Ealsigh
nd Gaston Railroad has been rolaid with heavy
ron to within about ten miles of Raleigh. These
eu miles will soon be relaid, and as the Railroad
'i sor ne tourteen miles between Weldon and
Jaston will be completed iu a few months, Raleigh
nd Norfolk will b* connected hv one continuous
onte of railroads.
From South America.
By the at rival of the steamship Philadelphia at
New-Orleans, from Aspinwall, wa have later intel
ligence from the Isthra**, Peru, Chili and Guaya
quil, extracts of which we subjoin :
From the Isthmus.— The Panama Star of the 80th
ult. says:
Un Thursday Gen. Jemenes arrived in this city,
bringing a gang of about thirty prisoners whom he
had captured on the Chagres river, and round As
pinwali and Gorgona. These constitute part of the
band of robbers and murderers that have so long
infested that region, and it very probable that
some interesting information may be brought to
light in the course of their trial.
There were about a thousand men engaged on
the railroad, and a large reinforcement is expected
by the British and American steamers. The inten -
tion is to have eight thousand men on the ground
by spring. , ...
No attempt has been made yet to place the bridge
across the river, although every thing is in readi
ness. The road on this side the river is completed
to within about two miles of Gorgona. The road
from Cruces to Panama is in tolerable good order
for the season of the year.
We were yesterday shown some of the most beau
tiful specimens of gold quartz that we have ever
seen. Thev were procured by a gentleman now j
in the city, at a short distance from Panama, and
their appearance tends fully to establish what we .
have hitherto thought as to the richness of tue
mines of the Isthmus if properly explored. i
Mr. Robert Gray, who has just arrived from the i
Chtpo mines, reports that the miners are going on
prosperously, and that they find sufficient encour- ;
agement to continue their labors. Mr. Gray brings
up several very good specimens of the precious j
metal.
The final passage of the law establishing the
Federation ol the Isthmus has been adjourned until
the next session of the Camara, when it will proba
bly meet the universal consent, of the Gamarislas.
We observed that the flag of the Peruvian Con
sol was not hoisted as usual last Sunday; . nd al
though we have not officially heard so, we under
stand that the consul had intentionally withdrawn
his colors, on account of some difficulty with the
authorities of Panama, of which wa shall probably
hear more, before long.
• From Peru. —The Peruvian Government have
i added to their naval fleet a frigate named the Mer
i cedes, making in all five vessels of war now owned
• by that Republic.
The country was perfectly quiet, and there was
I no appearance of any further difficulty occurring
with Ecuador in reference to the Flores expedition.
| Tbs Valparaiso Reporter says that the National
' Guard in Arequipa, placed on a better footing by !
1 Gen. Echenique, has sffered Government their
I co-operation in repulsing the Yankee expedition
to tile Island of Labos—which they denominate a
piratical expedition—and the general feeling
| throughout the country seems to tend to the this
effect. Much is spoken or the railway from Tacna
to Arica, oonfracted for by Government, with
Messrs. Hogan & Co, which it is supposed will ad
! vance the interest of both cities considerably.
It is also proposed to raise a capital of #2,000,- ,
000 to finish the Uchucuma canal.
The Charge d’Affaires ot the United States has
issued a circular to the masters and owners of ves-
I eels belonging to citizens of the Uniied States
After elating that instructions had been received
from the Government “that no countenance or
protection shall be given to the authorts” of en
terprisers against the Lobos Islands, says ;
Now, therefore, the undersigned. Charge d’Af
faires of the United States ol America to the Re
j public of Peru, having in view the interests of both
; nation* and being desirous of preventing any
collision, encounter or dispute between the mas
ters, captains, and crews ol vessels belonging to i
citizens of the United States, arriving at the said i
Islands of Lobos, and the Peruvian authorities and
forces stationed there, hereby warns the said
masters, captains and crews to abstain from doing
any acts of violence or force, to obtain guano from
‘ the said Islands, but on the contrary, if duly noti
| fled by the authorities, not to load guano there,
; that they proceed with their vessels to other des
i tinatioa or to the port of Callao; where they will ;
be chartered, in due form, by the agents of the 1
Paruvian Government, to carry guano for its ac- j
count; or where they can await the further order*
of the owners of the vessels, if it be the w;ll of |
said masters or captains so to wait, in preference
' to accepting a charter. J. Randolph Clay.
Limn, October Ist, 1853.
The Panama Star says :
We further learn that the fores hitherto sta
i tioned at the Islands is to be withdrawn, and
merely a schooner kept there to enter into con- ;
traotfTwith the American vessels as they arrive.
Latbr from Chili.—The Panama Star has date*
from Valparaiso to the 30th September, from which
we make the following extracts:
The diet y ocho passed off quietly; no attempt
at revolt here. In Santiago an attack was made
, upon the Arsenal by some of th© troops, the
! rebels were defeated, and twelve shot in the Plaza
; next day. This, it is supposed, slightly disgusted
j the pat riots here, and prevented them from making
| any vigorous demonstrations.
A railway from Serena to Valparaiso ia in con
| templation, and in the first)- meeting about #4OO,- ,
| 000 nave been taken up. Copiapo, thanks to the 1
I efforts of Mr. Wheelwright, will soon be lighted
with gas.
There is some excitement here relative to the
Lobos question ; the general opinion seems to be
that if Peru does not crush the “American pi
rates” Chili will be compelled to interfere, which
of course will settle the affair at once.
The Star learns from Lieut. Gill is, U. g. Navy
Commissioner, appointed to make astronomical ob
servations in Chili, who arrived from that counts
in the last British steamer, that another dreadful
earthquake had experienced in Valparaiso
the night after the steamer sailed, full particulars
of which will be heard by the coming steamer.—
Mr. Gillie procured his intormation from Com.
McAuley, or the frigate Raritan, which vessel sail
ed from Valparaiso two davs alter the steamer,
and arrived m Callao as the Bogota was about ta
king her departure from that port for Panama. As
Mr. G. had but a minute’s interview with the
j Commodore, he was unable to procure the particu
lars relative to this sad calamity.
Guayaquil.—The Panama Star has papers from
Guayaquil to the 80th September.
On the September the Assembly elected
Gen. Urbina as President and Pacifico Chiriloga
Vice President of the Republic.
The Assembly has declared the acts of Noboa’s
Congress null and void. This, in effect, will ex
pel tre Jesuits, for it was only by virtue of a
j special act of that Congress that they were re
ceived in Ecuador soon after their expulsion from
j New Granada.
I The correspondent of the Star says ;
“I noticed in one of your late papers a statement
that the French Charge to Ecuador had asked and
received his passports, on account of insults
from this Government, In my judgment the
Charge had no just cause of complaint w hen he
demanded hie passports. It was almost univer
sally believed here that the Charge and the cap
tain of a French corvette, then at Guayaquil, has
for several months been doing all they could to 1
; thwart the Government and the people in their
| efforts to repel Gen. Flores. This very naturally I
excited the popular feeling amdnst them; and
! one of the newspapers of the cityq having no con
nection whatever with the Government.' publish
ed some offensive remarks upon their conduct,
of which the Charge complained to the Govern
ment. The Government prosposed to refer the
matter to the proper legal tribunals for investiga
tion, but the Charge wanted the press to be pro- I
oeeded against after the manner of the “Prince
President.” This the Government declined, and ;
therefore, as lam informed, the Charge asked his
passports.
In the feeble Republic ot South America the '
spirit of democracy has to contend continually ;
against the efforts and intrigues of some of the re
presentatives of European kingdoms and the des- f
potisms. The mighty spirit, however, will over- I
com* all obstacles.”
