jd in Cotton, with small sales. The prices of
lair cotton as declared by the Cotton Broker’s
Committee, was Gild for Upland Mobile, andGJd
for New Orleans. The sales for the week 21,-
430 bales, of which speculators took 9,540 hales,
and exporters IGO, leaving 11,790 bales for the

1 lie political news is of no particular iinpor"
tance. Ledru Rollin, with thirty-three other
persons implicated in the June rebellion, have
been sentenced by the High Court at Versailles,
to transportation for life. In consequence of the
convictions before the above court, twenty scats
in the Legislative Assembly have become va
cant.
Letters from VViddin, of the 4th ult., state
that all the Hungarian and Polish refugees had
been transported from Widdin to Sliumla. The
first portion left on the 30th, 400 Poles under
ex-Gencral Bern, now Murat Pacha, Massares,
and Count Vay. The second portion left on the
31st ult., commanded by Gen. Stein, now Fcliras
Pacha, and Kenetti, now Liamil Pasha. These
both included the apostatized. The Magyars
left on the 3d, headed by M. M. Kossuth and
Balogli.
The rumors of war between Turkey and Rus
sia were fast dying away at Constantinople. The
English ships of war were anchored within the
Dardanelles. The French fleet w r as near Smyr
na. Nothing further has transpired relative to
the decision of the Emperor of Russia, respect
ing the Turkish affair.
The most important news from Austria is the
sudden change to a sort of free trade policy.
An offer has been made to Prussia to form a
Zollvcrcin, including Austria, and the Berlin
Cabinet rather retreats from the proposal—how
ever, some modification of the import duties in
to Austria appears now to be generally aticipa
tcd.
The Pope had not yet returned to Rome.
Four Regiments of the Line have been armed

Liverpool, Dec. I.—The Cotton market is
dull, with a moderate demand, and at a further
decline of Jd. The sales of the week amount to
19,000 hales. The Comittce’s official quotations
on Ist December were ; fair Upland and Mobile
Gid.; fair Orleans, C]d.
The stock of Cotton at Liverpool, at the de
parture of the Hibernia, was 379,000 bales, of
which 231,000 were American.
ID’ The great National Monument at Wash
ington has now reached a height of fifty feet,
and begins to develop itself to the eye in all the
beauty of its majestic proportions. A steam
■engine of seventy houses power lias been cree
led and put in operation, by means of which
■blocks of several tons weight are raised to the
lop of the work in a minute and a half. A der
rick connected with the engine affords facilities
for hoisting at four different points at the same
time. Several of the States have already
brought to the ground their offerings of stone,
and it is to be hoped that a like action will
speedily he had on the part of all the members
of the Confederacy. The position allotted to
these stones isateacli landing of the great stair
way, in the wall fronting the ascent. There
will bo more than fifty of these landings, and i l
■has been suggested that recesses should be left
in which, upon a grand occasion, to he hereafter
specified, the blocks of stone shall ali be de
posited with appropriated ceremonies, preserv
ing the historical order of the States from which
they came.
Fatal, Accident. —Jonathon Ogden, of Ful
ton, Oswego county, was killed a few days
since in a planing null, the machine of which
lie was oiling. He had on a large, loose frock,
which was caught by an upright shaft as it re
volved,and ho was rapidly whirled about and
limbs severed from the body by the knives of
the planing machine.
The Hawaiian Treatv. —The treaty be
tween the United States and the Sandwich Isl
ands, brought out for ratification by Dr. Judd,
Oonnnissioiior to 11 is Hawaiian Majesty’, con
tains some new’ provisions in relation Jo commer
cial intercourse between the United Staics and
the Sandwich Islands. Thsse provisions are of
the most liberal character ; the duties imposed
upon all articles (except liquors) exported from
the United States to the Sandwich Islands, for in
stance, being merely nominal. Provision is
made, it is said, for the encouragement of aline
nf steamers between United States ports and the
Fast Indies, if over such aline should be estab
lished, as we doubt not ere long it will. The
importance of the Sandwich Islands,as an inter
mediate stopping place, in such an event can
hardly he over estimated. It seems that Anthony
J. Ten Eyck, our late Commissioner to the Sand
wich Islands, did not resign, hut was dismissed
by His IJaw airan Majesty for reasons which are
not distinctly stated as yet.
State or Deserf.*. —Mr. Babbitt, tlie dele
gate, sent by the Mormons to ask the admission
of Deseret as a State, is nowin Washington.
He concedes that tlio whole population is rrow
'oily 20,000, but say s from 12' to 11,000 persons
who have embraced tlm Mormon faith in Europe,
will leave there in lime to reach Deseret curly
to the spring. The Mormons are not willing
,o be organized ns a mere territory, because the

Months’ imprisonment in Boston, for snatching

Governop. s Message of Virginia. —The
Richmond Enquirer, thus speaks of Governor
Uoyd’s first message, delivered to the Legisla
turc on Monday:
“It presents a satisfactory exposition of the
true condition of the old Commonwealth, and a
bold, frank and manly avowal of his sentiments
on the various important questions affecting the
ntcrests of the State. Asa literary composition,
it docs credit to the author—and its withering
denunciation of the inad schemes of internal
foes and its impressive and eloquent invocation
to Virginia nud the South to stand by the rights
of the South, as the only salvation of the Union,
are worthy of the chief magistrate of a State,
which has so generously contributed to the
strength and glory of the Union of equal States.
That the Legislature will respond to the appeal,
wc cannot for a moniont doubt.
“Whilst, upon some of the topics broached by
the Governor, wc have not sufficient knowledge
to form a well-considered opinion, there are
others to which we yeld a cordial assent. llis
recommendation that the Legislature should
pause for the present in launching farther into
new works of internal improvement, and com
plete the great lines now so liberally placed un
der way, strikes us as eminently prudent and
judicious. With the present heavy engagements,
the State may move on safely and steadily—let
us not, by inordinately swelling the amount, in
volve her finance too far and throw over her
venerable and always unspotted name even the
suspicion of repudiation. The Governor places
the arguments in favor of a State convention on
an impregnable basis.”
ID* A gang of makers of spurious coin and
other sorts of counterfeits was seized in Huron
county, Ohio, the other day. A lot of well-de
vised silver and gold coin, with all the necessa
ry utensils for coining largely was found. Three
similar gangs have been broken up in the same
State within three months. It is estimated, too,
that about one-tenth of the gold and one-twen
tieth of the silver coin now circulating in Ohio
arc spurious.
The French Minister.— lt is rumored that
M. Bois le Comte, who was recently appointed
French Minisrei to the United States, is not cer
tain of coming. It is said that lie has expressed
an earnest wish to Louis Napoleon not to be
sent,as lie did not wish to come to the United
States. Ho has thrown his influence in favor
of M. Delaforcst, who was Consul General of
France, in New York, for a number of years,
under Louis Philippe. The appointment oftliat
gentleman would give general satisfaction.
Fires.— From the month of September, 1848,
to August, 1849; the total loss by fire in Boston,
was $300,525, and upon this there was an insu
rance of $210,992.
Fugitive Slaves. —The Baltimore corres
pondent of the New York Tribune states, that
he is informed on the best authority that not less
than two hundred slaves have absconded from
their masters in Maryland within the past five
months. These at the lowest valuation, arc
worth sloo,<ioo.
Mail Robbery. — An extensive mail robbery
was discovered at Springfield, Ohio, on the 2Gth
ult. It is charged to have becu perpetrated by
Charles W. McWilliams, who was for a short
period during the past summer, engaged as mail,
agent between that place and Sandusky. He
lias been arrested and committed to jail for fur
ther investigation. About SI2OO of the stolen
money has already been found.
Another Lock.— The Legislature of Ohio
lias not been organized, owing to the fact that
there arc two Senators from Hamilton county, a
Wlii gand a Democrat, claiming a place. The
glorious “people” have a fine prospect of get
ting rid of their surplus money this winter, as
Congress is determined to make something ex
tra. Near two hundred speeches (or more)
have been made about a speaker,—and we think
“Old Zac” should pay the refractory' Represen.
tativesan official visit, and settle the whole
matter, as Oliver Cromwell did the English Par
liament many years ago.
Hungarian Refugees. —Landishan Uhazy,
who was civil Governor of Comoro until the
surrender of that place, is on his way to this
country, with ninety-six officers of the garrison.
The other Magyars, and Gen. Klapka will sail
for New York on board the ship Franklin. Klap
ka has selected in five different parts of the
north of the United States, a large space of land
where lie will establish a Hungarian colony.
[UP Mr. John P. Bigelow, Whig, was elected
Mayor of Boston by a vote of 4,G00 to 1,074.
Signs of Royalty. —The Government op
France is constantly becoming more and more
assimilated to the old monarchical institution.
It is stated that at a Council of Ministers, held
recently-, it was resolved that a director-general
ship of police should be created, dependent upon
the Minister of the interior, as was the case un
-1 tier the empire and the second restoration.
It is rt’>or!ed that one of the first acts of the
new French ministry will bo to bring forward a
measure demanding ail augmentation to the
President’s salary of three or four millions ol
francs per annum.
The difficulties between Louis and Napoleon
Bonaparte are abotit an adjustment.
New British Coinage. —The British Gov
ernment has commenced to make anew curren
cy or coin upon the American Decimal System :
cents and florins arc to he used—the cent to be
about otic half an American cent—the florin
100 cents (50 American.) They might with
more good sense have adopted the American
currency in toto.
Law Decision. —A passenner on the F.nstern
Counties railway, England, instituted legal pro
ceedings against that company for damages, from
their not running their trains in conformity with
their regular printed official time tables, lie
recovered damages to the amount of 12s. 4d.,
the Court ruling that the time tables were of
the nature of a public contract, and any devia
tion from them rendered the company liable.

I rof its on Railroads.—A table is published
in the Boston Courier, giving an account of the
dividends which have been paid by nine rail
roads in Massachusetts in the last five years:
The Western Railroad in 1844 declared 3 per
cent.; in 1845,5 per cent.; in 184 G, G per cent.;
and in 1847-’B, 8 4 pcr cent, each, making an
average of G percent, per annum.
The Boston and Worcester road declared in
1844 a dividend of 7-i per cent.; in 1845- 6,8
percent, each; in 1847, 10J, and in 1848,8 per
cent., averaging over 8 percent, n year.
’1 he Boston and Lowell road declared 8 per
cent, for each of the five years.
The Boston and Providence road declared 6J
per cent, in 1844 ; 7 in 1845; 8 in 184 G : 7J in
1847, and GJ in 1848, giving an average of over
7 per cent, per annum.
1 lie Boston and Maine ’road declared 6] per
cent, in 1844 ; 7 for each of the y ears of 1845
JB4G; 9 for 1847, and B.J for 1848, making an
average of over7.J percent, for each year.
The Eastern road declared 74 per cent, in
1844, and 8 per cent, for the next four years.
The Taunton Branch road declared 8 percent
for each year.
The Nashua and Lowell road declared 10 per
cent, in 1844, 9in 1845, and 10 for the follow
ing three years.
The New Bedford road declared G per cent; in
1844; 74 in 184 G; 8 in 1847, and G in 1848,
making an average of nearly 7 per cent, per
annum.
The aggreagate amount of capital in these
roads on which the dividends were declared in
each of the five years, and the average dividend,
were as follows:
Capital. Aver. Div.
1844. 18,630,441 7
1845. 14,497,328 7 4-9
1846. 10,190,300 715 18
1847. 19,744,100 81-2
1848. 23,550,800 717-18
This statement shows that these railroads have
yielded nearly eight per cent, per annum fertile
last five years. Such a demonstration as this
must have a favorable influence upon the minds
of those who have money to invest, and beget a
confidence in railroads as permanent invest
ments, which they only wanted to ensure their
extension and early completion.
South Carolina College. —The following
gentlemen were, recently, elected Trustees of
the South Carolina College :
David Johnson, W. F. C. G.
Mcmniinger, J. L. Manning, R. W. Barnwell,
T. N. Dawkins, i, Buchanan, W. Hampton, J

Smith, F. H. Wardlaw, James 11. Adams, B.F.
Perry, 11. C. Young, John _S. Preston, and J
Gillespie.
U. S. Mint. —The Director of this establish
ment says in his report“ The California gold,
brought to the Mint in the present year for coin
age, has increased our expenses, not only by its
large amount, ( exceeding $3,200,000 in value,)
but by the character of tho gold itself, which
contains combined with it n large portion o*
silver, which must be separated from it. This
is done by a chemical process, requiring, for
operations upon so grand a scale, a great and ex
pensive increase in the laboratory, and the em
ployment of additional workmen. In conse
quence of this, the funds available for the pres
ent fiscal year must certainly fall short of theex.
penses, so that there will not only be no balance
on hand at the end of the year, but there will
be a deficit, which must be supplied by an ex
tra appropriation.’’
O’ A surgical operation was performed a few
days since in the Washington Hospital, by Pro
fessor May, of that Institution, for the amputa
tion of the ieg of a patient. The subject was
under the influence of chloroform, and upon
awaking from its effects, he inquired which of
his legs had been taken off—an incontestiblc
evidence that he had experienced no pain what
ever.
Wonderful Fact. —ln looking over the list
of the members of the House of Representa
tives, we observe there are six Kings, four
Thompsons, three Johnsons, three Harrises, two
Caldwells, two Butlers, and two Browns, but
not a single Smith.
fljTt is asserted that a grain of camphor, in

and a half of the infusion of hops with five
drops of sulphuric ether in it, will procure sleep,
in the first development of insanity, when noth
ing else will. It has been tried and its success
acknowledged.
Good Gracious. —An ecstatic lover down cast
thus appeals to bis tender-barted dulcinca for a
parting smack : —“Terrible tragical, and subtri
butive will be the courso pursued by mo if you
do not instantaneously place thine alabaster lips
to mine, arid enrapture my immortal soul by im
printing angelic sensations of di vine bliss upon
those indispensable members ofthc human phy
siognomy-, and then kindly condescend to allow
me to take my departure from the everlasting

1) T The London Times, speaking of the coal
beds of England, says ; “ The exhaustion of our
coal-beds would bo the finai and utter catas
trophe of our greatness, and that England would
immediately sink into a third-rate power. It is
to coal that we owe everything which is graat
in our position and history. Our coal fields arc
the rude foundation of this fair Corinthian pile,
and England is indebted to them as Egypt to
her Nile, Athens to her schools, and Rome to
her policy and arms.
O' A Philadelphia paper, says : a suitor in
one of our civit courts, who heard With aston
ishment that the Jury had just rendered a ver
dict against him, notwithstanding the evidence
and the charge of the Judge were in bis favor,
declared that he had now experienced that a
jury trial is really a lottery. “You are right,”
responded a bachelor attorney on the sere side
of fifty, “ Jury trials and matrimony are the
only lotteries which the laws of Pennsylvania
encourage.'
Savannah. —The Republican says: “Our
Prices Current of this morning show that the
increase of Cotton received here, up to date this
year, over that to the same period last vear
is 15,510 hales, or more than twice the increase
at any other point. Tlie decrease at Charleston
for the same time is 11,736 hales.
The receipts of the past week at this port
have been 15,382 bales Upland, and 203 hales
Sea Island. The receipts this season to the pre
sent time are greater by nearly 13,000 bales,
than ever before. In addition to this, it should
not be forgotten that the average weight of hales
is now much more than it was eight or nine
years ago, and consequently the increase of the
number of hales does not show the whole
amount es increase. In 1840, tho average
weight of hales was 3-19 lbs., now it is 417 lbs.,
as ascertained from an inspection of numerous
freight lists. The extension of the circle of in
fluence of our Rail Road liner, reudily accounts
for the increased receipts here.”
A Good Joke. —Some of the members of the
Alabama House of Representatives were anx
ious to attend tho races last Tuesday, hut the
House refused to adjourn. A member then pro
posed a resolution for tho appointment of a
committee to enquire into the condition of the
ceiling of the Hall, which, as he had been in
formed by a mechanic, was in so dangerous a
state, that it was unsafe to stay there. The
House immediately adjourned—some to the ra
ces—and the committee found the ceiling all
right!
Something New. —A man in Texas lias in
vented anew kind of bread, which is a combi
nation of concentrated meat and biscuit. It is
made into small cakes and put up into small tin
cases, ono of which wiil be food enough lor a
stout man for a week. One ounce of it, by
crushing and mixing it with three pints of wa
ter, if boiled for a few minutes, makes a most
excellent soup, enough to make a very decent
meal for one person. We have tried some of it,
says tlie editor of the Scientific American, and
seasoning it properly we found it both palatable
and nourishing, good moat and drink for any
person.
Trouble at Matamoras. —The Mexican
government lias arrested M. Bossigues, vice Con
sul of France at Matamoras, M. A. Trevino,
editor of El Bien I’ublico, and Dr. Berlandier.
Some strictures upon the government, publish
ed in El Bien Publico, the materials for which
were reported to have been furnished by M.
Bossigues, are tiie cause of the arrest. An order
for the arrest of M. S. Mussina, editor of the
American Flag, at Brownville, was also issued,
hut he was safe at Point Isabel at the time.
Tlie arrest of the French gentlemen is likely to
lead to trouble between the French and Mexi
can republics.
Death of. Campbell, tiie Poet— A writer in
tlie Nortli Britisli Review gives a touching des
cription of tlie closing scene ofCamphell’B earth
ly career. A contemporary well remarks that
to utter tho sentiment printed in italics below,
furnishes tlie best commentary upon tlie purity
of tlie life lie had spent.
“On the 16th lie was able to converse more
freely ; but his strengtli had become more redu
ced, and, being assisted to change his posture,
he fell hack in tlie bed insensible. Conversa
tion was carried on in tlie room in whispers;
and Campbell uttered a few sentences,so uncon
nected, that liis friends were doubtful whether
he was conscious or not of what was going on in
Iris presence, and had recourse to an artifice to
learn.—One of them spoke of tlie poem of
“llolienlindcn,” and, pretending to forget the
author’s name, said lie had heard it was by a Mr.
Robinson. Campbell saw the trick, wnsamnsed
and said playfully, hut in a calm and distinct
tone,‘No; it was one Tom Campbell.’ The poet
had —as far as a poet can become for j’ears in
different to posthumous fame. In 1838, five
years before this time, he had been speaking to
some friends in Edinburg on the subject. ‘When
I think of the existence which shall commence
when the stone is luid over my head, how can
literary fame appear to mo—to any one—but as
nothing ! I believe, when lum gone,justice trill
be done to me in this way—that I teas a pure
tcriter. It is an inexpressible comfort , at my
time of life, to be able to look back and feel that
lhave not written one line against religion or
virtue .”
O’ Linscys and Jeans are manufactured at
the Lebanon Mills Georgia, of a remarkably ex
cellent quality. A Memphis paper says: “They
arc made of finer wool ; heavier and wider, of j
a softer,-more compact, and of a more smooth j
and even surface, at the same time they are en
lircly freed from all grease, which is something
nnustial. The yarns are decidedly the most j
evenly spun, and beautiful we have seen.”
