N't ws from Abroad. —On Sunday, the stea mer Eurupa arrived at Boston with Liverpool dates to 24th ult. There has been a decline of 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 trade. There was hut little diminution in the stock, which is estimated at 539,000 hales. The grain and flower markets were dull. Flour sold at 20s. to 235. for best Western Canal; Philadelphia and Baltimore 235. Gd to 245. American white Wheat is quoted at 6s. Bd. to 7s. 2d, and red at ss. 4d. to Gs. 6d. per bushel. 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 by order of the Minister of War, with a newly invented musket, which carried a bail 300 yards, being double the distance obtained by the ordin ary musket. [CATER BV THE HIBF.RNIA.] 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 n fiiccrs would be appointed by the Federal Gov mnment. ILT A woman lias been sentenced to tlncc Months’ imprisonment in Boston, for snatching an umbrella from the hands ofa y oung lady du ,lnß a violent rain storm. 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. [IT Hon. William Short, former Secretary of Legation to Mr. Jefferson in his French mission, and Charge and Affaires to Franco under President Washington, died in Philadelphia recently, at lie age of !>l years 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 N-Whitftcr, R.F. W. Allston, J. D. Wither spoon, E. Bellinger, jr., J. L. Petigru, Thomas 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 pill form, followed by’ a draught of an ounce 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 sublimity of thy thrice glorious presence I” Nakpy fainted. 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.” EP The Friends of T IIOM AS HAG U V and I) A V 1 I> J.
