They will ^ rftnnln a year. It is said the terms o( their engagement are the highest yet given to any actors from England. Mr. Charles Ware, formerly ofthis country, died recently at Liverpool. He had been en gaged in commercial business. The wife of George Cqtlin, E«q., the celebra ted painter and delineator of Indian customs, died In Paris on the 30th nit. Mu.

Mr. O’Connell said that If they did so, their names should be struck oft* the rollsof Concilia tion Hall. The repeal rent for the week was announced to be over £850. I Vcx ford Repeal Demonstration.—Th Is great re peal demonstration took place on Wednesday, the 8lkl ultimo. The progress of Mr. O’Con nell from Bray to Wexford is described as one long triumphal procession. The last named town was crowded with people awaiting Mr. O’Connell. Mr. O’Connell responded to the toast pro posing his health. Having rend Llngard’s ac count of the alleged atrocity, he proceeded to congratulate the women of Wexford on their present safety. The ruthless barbarians should never again oven think of slaughtering one of them. His countrymen would die by inches sooner than to permit them to do so again. Mr. O'Connell concluded by exhorting them to re turn an out and out repealer nstheir representa tive In parliament. „ Repeal Meeting at Galway.—Mr. O Connell hns had another monster meeting at Galway. The Fatal Con fin! at DaHinhassig.—A meet ing was held at Cork on Tuesday last,con vened by the Mayor, incompliance with a requisition, in order to express to hef Majesty’s government the opinions of the citizens regarding the re cent inquest on the bodies - of seven persons kill ed by the police at the fair of Bnlllnnassig.

For the bet ter descriptions more inquiry exist. There l», however, not much change, except in domes? tics, which are a little higher, as the description or Yarn used in their manufacture is advanced. The Woollen trfcde throughout the Manufactur ing districts is in much the same .^railton at when last reported. A fair amount of bnineas Is transacted, at prices giving a reasonable pro fit.

She is anxious to carry her presence to other lands, and. wiih alt her voung and buoyant feelings In their freshness, the dry details of parliamentary lore cannot compete with the nttractions of the Rhine and the society of continental sovereigns. Royalty loves Its 'outs' like meaner bipeds, and no school boy yearns after the delights of freedom at this ioyous season, when nature usually puts on her hnlvday soil—albeit with ns she is now clad in snblo-hMjpdoes the UMjf Victoria in this cur rent month' of August. Nevertheless, there h&s been some "solemn talk," and even acrimonious debates ntnong*t our legislators on various topics, more or less Interesting. The subject of the tardy progress of .education hns been on the tapis, anti the indefatigable Mr. Ewart hns wrung something like an admission from the. Premier, that here after the pecuniary sfntiMidh of the question shall figure In the Minister’s-'Budget. The friends of education hall An* as recognition of the Importance of the snbjecf, and the utility ofiltfir labour*. ‘ • w - The last few days have been unfortunately .rife in railway accidents. Misfortunes, it is -shifl, seldom come singly, nnd the calamities of - locomotive transit strengthen the correctness ^ *1 the axiom. Lord Palmerston brought the _ sutyefct before the House of Commons, nnd cou- pled tr, strangely enough, with n strong con- .JrA, "Ideiiinatory peroration on the defenceless state or 1jLi <gtnr seaboard. With regard to traveling by ^ jfoD 1 the Premier threatened, nntess the direct- • ■*"Sx‘^i«'n«ed a keener supervision over their *cr- to ease them of the duty, and transfer it ie haijds of the executive government—a which will probably work a speedy and “tent cure. On the subject of national ... lyinn, he evinced less apprehension, anu teamed to chidethe fears of hlh assailant. Wor seems remote, but the best mode of keening it so Is to be prennred for it at all time*. Cupidi ty Is often excited by a contrary policy. The present is the age or mechanical wonder, and, in deciding the fnte or nations by physical con flict, the engineer will play ns prominent a part hereafter, as the field-marshal has done in times gone bone by. It is this consciousness of living under circumstances so different from our fath ers flint has probably Inspired Lord Pulmerston with his patriotic misgivings. Mr. Fieldcn, one of the members for Old ham—a large manufacturer, and a gentleman of extreme political opinions—showed, in an able speech, the other night, howgrindingly op pressive the Income tax can be made, even in the case of an obstreperous member of Parlia ment. Mr. Flelden’s wealth and credit enabled him to make a statement which woul.l have been the ruin of a smaller man—that his busi ness, so far from yielding a profit, entalleJ an actual loss. The commissioners treated hi* as sertion, even his oath, with indifference. They first assessed his business as producing £84,000 profit, and then, on appeal, unceremoniously reduced the amount to £12,000—for rel'u«lng to pay the tax on which, the officers of the Govern ment distrained’on his goods! But although he made, out hi* case, he obtained no redress. He merely succeeded fa pfovinjrfwhnt everyone knew to best fact,*that many are obliged to pay this roost inquisitorial nnd oppressive tax as the caprice of the commissioners choose to levy it. from the fear of worse consequences—that of revealing their pecuniary nakedness. The Slave-trade Treaty Bill,'which seeks to render the subjects of Brazil amenable to En glish law courts, and to treat them as pirates, has met with a becoming, but a fruitless, oppo sition. Commercial. Serious fears of a failure ol the harvest now being to be felt. The weather has been far from fnvorible for the harvest. The sup ply of grain at present In the country Is very limited, and a failure of the coming crop would be a serlons inconvenience. The stock of United States floor in Liverpool, under lock, consists of 90,385 bbl*; of which nbont 15,000 are sweet, the remainder soar; should the new ‘ieal want help, this article, owing to the low ^arse quality ofthe Babic wheat, will be of Jnusual Virtu re, as it will give Mrenght and color also. Annexatiou of Texas.. . The annexation of Texas, which may now be regarded as consummated, is too important nn event in the history of nations to escape the The Monilcur publishes the estimate for 1840, in which the oidinarv and extraordinary expen diture* are fixed at t,434,339,400 francs, and the ways and means at 1,355,489,400 francs. Spniitv The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce hns lynx-eyed vigilance of the press in this quarter ofthe globe. It has been freely commented on since the arrival of the Acndia, last week, which brought the resolutions of the Texan Congress. The annexation is not, of course, pnlntable to John Ball, which is, perhaps, the best reason why it should be popular on the western shores of the Atlantic. The lending organ of the late Government, the Morning Chronicle, makes it the subject of bitter attack on the foreign poli cy of the present Cabinet, which might, and ought, it contends, to have prevented the catastro phe. It Is ridiculous tohold such language. The Ministry could not have prevented the annexn- tionfif they had strnined every art which diplo* mpdy-.soggeiu^Thc policy of Mexico ever sinceTexas wrested her freedom from that imbec ile power, has,step by step, accelerated the event nt which the latter is now so chagrined. The ungrateful, not to say pitiful, conduct of Santa Anna, in constantly keeping In "hot water," nnd actually making war unofi the people who first defeated, and then, with a generous heroism, gave him life and liberty, caused Texas to be •miracted, as sympathetically ns the poles at tracts the needle, to the United States. The cit izens of that country were in feeling, as they now are in name, citizens of the great. Repub lic—one common sympathy of country, nnd kindred, and institutions, animated alike the minor nnd major Republic. The "star-span gled banner" hns increased another stripe, apd has baffled the policy of European statesmen— those long-headed personages, who fancy that, like Joshua, the sun ought to stand still at their 1 bidding. What has taken place was inevitable in the nature of things, and has long since been anticipated by all who could read the signs of the political norosco|>e. American aggrandize ment; they say. will not stop here. This large •lico of deerepld Mexico may feed, but will not satisfy, greedy Republicans. Yearnings after Carolina are already apparent. Oregon, nay, Mexioo itself, may be swallowed up speedily bv the energetic Anglo-American race, now spread ing over the northern continent. Such nre the fear* that shake the rulers of the world—fears which are participated In to-some ,qxtenl. by many who,ought to know better, In-our oWn is- ' fa**. Association.—At the meeting of the repared an address to all similar bodies In the .ingdotn, calling on them to petition the Cortes nbont the admission of Cuba sugars into the English markets. Should England persist in excluding them, the Barcelona merchant* recommend recourse to reprisals, nnd prohibit the Importation Into Spain, Cuba, nnd other Spanish colonies of various articles of English manufacture, such ns linens, cloth, hard ware, muslin nnd machin ery. Switzerland. Lucerne, Jui.tr 24.—The deliberations of the Diet have hitherto been without political inter est, nnd of a mere domestic character. The million to postpone the assembling of the Fede ral Camp lor a year was rejected by a large majority. The'discusrion of the qncstion ns to the revision ofthe paete federal hns been again postponed. A very melancholy event has plunged the country into consternation nnd dismay. M. Leu, one of the leading members of jhe Jesuits’ party, wns found dead In hisbcd.wclterlngki his blood. His partisans declare, loudly nnd une quivocally, that he was basely assassinated; his political opponent*, on the contraiy, declare, with equal confidence, that he committed sui cide. The physicians declare that from the K osition the ball took (he was shot through the eart with a pistol,) he could not ha\ - c commit ted suicide, and the fact that no pistol was found by his side confirms their assertion. Bur on the other hand there are no trnccs of any person entering the house—no noise was heard though twenty people at lea*4 were in the house—the shntteis of hie bedtoom were closed, nnd his wife sleeping by his side, was alarmed bv the report of the pistol, but saw no one. The affair is enveloped In great mystery, but it is to be hoped it will be cleared on. The ncita- tion the matter has caused i* reallv Indescriba ble, and it has embittered the -ill-feeling which the different parties bear toward* each other. My opinion is, that more blood will flow before the people became calmed down; and perhaps this suicide or assassination, whichever it may be, may be made tbe cause for it Russia. St. PzTKRSBL’nau, Julv 19.—The general com manding in Caucasus, Woronzow, has succeed ed in gaioing a victory ; but, though made the most of by our officials, it docs not appear to have been a very brilliant affair. Nevertheless, ns a victory it is something, for so far Russia hns had more defeats than triumphs, in her en counters with her daring and warlike foe*. The Emperor has issued an nkase, depriving certain classes of the privilege of obtaining no bility in virtue of official statfop, with the same ease a* lut» heretofore been customary. The measure l* agreeable to the aristocracy, for the yearly additions to their ranks became *0 considerable, a* to lessen the consideration with which they think it desirable that the aris tocracy should be regarded. Turkey. CoN'STANTiNon.Sj July 17.—Collision «f th* Steamers.—Loss or one hundred and thirty-five lives.—On the night of the 11th instant, on the Black Sea, about 40 miles cast of the Bosphnrn*. a most dreadful catastrophe took place. Two Turkish steamers, the one coming (fom, and the ottier going to Trebizond, came into a sad den collision, and one of them went down with the greater part of the crew and passenger*. The ves*els were the Scutari, commanded by Mr. Dobbins, and the Medjehrai Tidjahret, commanded by Mr. Lambert. The vessels parted; the Medjehrai Tidjahret dropped about a mile astern, and in the course of less than a quarter of an hour it was found she was sinking rapidly. The Scutari, which had got but slight damage, then went to her help; but it was too late. Very few, compara tively could be saved. About seventy, however, by swimming, and clinging to spars, reached the Scutari, where they clustered round the paddle-boxes until they were taken in. Captain Lambert and nn en gineer were picked up by a boat of the Scutari, All the rest, one hundred and thirty-five souls, perished. Their agony was a short one, but it was terrific. As the Scntari approached the wreck she heeled over, (tbe people on the deck, like wild maniacs, were visible in moonlight,) nnd as the sea sucked her down—as the vortex of wa ters she formed in sinking almost made^the Scutari spin round with the motion—there arose a scream of utter horror—a last scream!— which those who heard will never forget. But more impressive still was the passing resignation ofthe Turks: they sat motionless mattering their prayers; neither by cry nor gesture did they manifest any consternation! In passive silence—amid the shrieks or despair of Christians—the fatalist* met their frightful doom. From the first shock to the sinking ofthe vessel not more than bairn n hour elapsed. The captains of the two vessels, you will sec by their names, were English; the engineers were also English. India aad China. The Overland Mall from India and China reached London on the 30th ult. They were brought to Malta by the Iberia, nnd the dales are respectively, from Bombay to tbe 20th June, Calcutta 9th June, Madras 11th June, and from China to thcCth May. The cholera hns been very^revalent in Bom bay and Poonah, and has raged in Lahore fearfully. The political news is not of importance. The Governor-General remained al Calcutta, but was expected to move in October to the north west provinces, to reduce the Sikhs to order.— From China wo learn that a riot bad taken- place at Victoria—it had been suppressed with out difficulty. The troops bad been withdrawn from Kolungson, in accordance with terms ofonr treaty, and the Chinese had taken possession.— Tbe mate and gunner of the Ariel, having 100,- 000 dollar* on board, had attempted to seize the vessel, bnt were defeated—in tbe conflict the mate was killed, nnd the gunner wounded.— The Bombay market hnd a favorable appear ance, for imports.

Mexican WzA-The Insurance Companies in New York, have raised their rates in risks to New Orleans, a hall per cent, on account of the Mexican affairs. New Cotton.—Two bales of new cotton were received at Eafaula, Ala., on the 13th Inst., nnd sold at 10 ceots per lb. Another bale was re ceived on the 15th, which sold nt 10} cents. The first bale of the new crop received nt Cheraw, S. C., was sold on tbe 17th inst., at 7 ; cl*, per lb..

Genera) Gaines, now in our city, having received aulhen tic information to the effect that ’t'en Thousand Mexican Troops, were within eight days march of General Toylor, who is posted at St. Joseph’ Island, immediately despatched a Messenger Governor Mouton, at Pass Christian, claiming a requisition of TV* Regiments of Volunteers, (of ten companies each,) one to consist of In fantry and one of Riflemen; and two compa nies of Artillery, with eight field pieces. The requisition was immediately granted, and will be put forthwith Into execution, "The two Volunteer Regiments are to be sta tioned al the Forts and Barracks on the Gulf, subject to the orders ofthe Government; nnd the United States Troops at present in garrison at those stations are to be immediately transfer red to Texas.' The two companiesof Volunteer Arrival or the Hibernia. The news by tho Hibernia, nt, Boston, Is oot very important, The Cotton market had been drooping a little, bnt the day belbre the departure of the steamer, it revived somewhat. Wilmer A Smith's European Times, of the 5th Inst., from which paper we have collated our summary of the Intelligence, says: "The state ofthe weather has.been making itself felt in the Cotton market, jgjffygloomy atmosphere of Inst week chilled air<Nsposliion for business, and prices on the middling kinds of American, de clined Id. per lb. The sales of the week were only 39,000. Yesterday, however, the mnrket rallied a little, speculators were nibbling, and matters wore a more healthy appearance. The sales were 8,000 bags, and of this quantity 3,000 American were taken on speculation." The Acadia arrived at Liverpool on the 29tli ult., in Utile less than thirteen days from Bos- The Times says: "Ithnvlngbeen notified by telegraph thntsho had onboard Mr. M’Lnne, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary from the United Stntes, a number of per sons assembled aV the Pier to witness his land ing, as a mark of respect. During his stay in town he occupied apartments at the Adeiphi Hotel, and proceeded on Friday to London." Mr. Jeniper, the Minister at Vienna, from the United States, has received his order of re call. We see no mention made of the arrival of bis successor. The transactions in American securities were limited, nnd prices depressed in Iho London market. The Inlellligence from New York to the 15th ult, by the Ata.Ha, Intimated the post- bilily that Iho State of Pennsylvania would be unable to pay the interest about falling due, the effect of which changed the position of that de scription of stock, and checked to sdmo extent the improved feeling in other American secur ities. The annexation of Texas to the United State* was considered as a matter of course, nnd hence the news of its consummation created no sur prize in England. Mexican stocks, however, declined about 1J percent, but shortly milled again. ■*- Business in the Manufacturing Districts re main nearly in the same condition asntthe sail ing ofthe Great Britain, with perhaps less buoy- cy of feeling. The following letters received by mercantile houses in this city, give the particulars ol the slate ofthe foreign Colton markets: "LIVERPOOL, AUG. I.—Cotton.—'Tho demand during the week lias been steady, but on a more limited scnlo than for somo timo past, and prices, particularly of tho common qualities of American, are rather lower.

HAVRE, AUG. 1.—Cotton.— 1 The situation of nur mnrket during tho last ao’night, forms a striking contrast with that of tho preceding week, as reganls the amount of business transacted, the great anima tion that had' predominated, in the demand since the commencement ofthe month, nnd the specula tive spirit that hnd been displayed, hnvo entirely disappeared for tho presont, anu buyer* from the trade having taken merely sufficient to supply their most urgent necessities, the operations have, as a natural consequence, bceu on a restricted scale within tho Inst eight dnys. With respect to prices, generally sneaking, no alteration can uc said to have occurred, though upon the whole they are perhape less Ann than befnre. a few speculators desirous of realising a alight profit, having sold a shade lower than our previous quotations. There Is however nn treasure to run off stock, exhibited on tho part of mpnrters, nor does thero scorn to be any want of confidence, but the fact ofprices hero being higher than in Liverpool, where they havo not kept pace with the rapid advance in our market, which thus acts ns a chock upon transactions for transit, will account in a grout measure for tho prevalent want of activity, and to which tho oppreaching holidays hare likewiso contributed. The absence of recent ad vices from the United States has also had some influence, and na those of Iftlh inst., expected by tho next steamer, will probably bo productive of somo new ibaturo, they nre therefore looked for ward to with some degreo of interest. f The following were the sites effected, vis: G07 Halos New Orleans F.

The Washington papers received by the mail of last evening, mentions the circumstance, and state that a difference had existed previously to the parties meeting. Elliott had given him self up, and was in custody. A Mr. BirLnr was also wounded in the arm by a shot fired by the prisoner. Mexican Arratas.—An Extra Session.—Tbe Philadelphia Inquirer of Monday, says: "We hear it rumored on pretty good author ity, thnt should Mexico declare war against the United Slates, the President will immediately call an extra session of Congress." It is said that a number of tbe officers of the Brigade commanded by General A. L. Roum* fort, of Philadelphia, have volunteered their services, and that Gen. R. has tendered his own and their services to the General Government, in case of war with Mexico. Letters of Marque and Reprisal.—We heard it stated on Saturday last, by an intelligent officer ofthe United States Government, that Mr. Polk was determined, in case of a war with Mexi co, to make a terrible example ot any foreigner or foreigner* not belonging to Mexico, or par- lies to the war, who may attempt aggressiosn upon American commerce under color of letters of matque from the Mexican Government. He will give orders to the Naval commanders to treat all such adventurers as pirates as in reali ty they will be.—Phila.'Ledger. Tub Cotton Crop.—We have cherished the hope for some time past, says the Macon Mes senger, of the 21 st inst., that a change of the sea son might materially jienefit the prospects ol tbe cotton crop. But the drought has now so long prevailed, that very IJttlfi henefft could be derived from a change of the season. It is only in very limited sections of the State, that tbe crop can be a middling or .an average one—in Gov. CtuwrouD and Col. Stocks.—In the very long letter from the Editor of Mr. McAl lister's organ, dated nt Clarkcsville, and pub lished in his paper of the 20th inst., wc notice the following paragraph: " Among these wns Hon. Thomas Slocks, of Greene, who, it is said, voted an open ticket in Mr. Stephen’* district, for the Democratic candi date for Congress, nnd Stephen’s opponent, Col. Jones, nnd a month after ngalnrt Olay nnd for James K. Polk for President. To exhibit their glaring inconsistency, the Whigs of Greene and Oglethorpe have selected for their Senato rial candidate this same Mr. Stock*, who, it seem*, is willing this year to act with a party, whose measures last year he fearlessly repu diated." The Editor might have added other distin guished names to the list who voted against Mr. Clay last year, but who arc now warm in the support of Governor C» aw ford. If wc ore correctly informed, CoI.'JanEs himself, the very gentleman who opposed Mr. Stephens for Con gress, and all his leading friends of the State Rights party, will sustain Gov. Chawpoiid in preference to the "Standard Bearer.” They will do this lor the very simple reason, thnt they arc conscientious men—men whose heads may occa sionally get a Rule wrong, but who alvy^s wear their hearts in the right place. These gentle men were nil old Niillifter*, nnd they have not forgotten Mr. McAllister’s language In regard to that putty as used iu his celebrated speech in the Georgia £enate, on the 14th of November, 1831, and which wc find reported a* tollows; : 'The Honorable Senator from Green, (Mr. Dawson,) has favored us with an account of the two great parlies which were formed in the Convention which Irnincd our Constitution, nnd which with alternate success, have agitated the country. The»c, he has designated as the Republican and Federal parties, and ho with other honorable Senator*, lias thought proper to place the Union party ol this state in the ranks of the latter, while with great self-complacency, they claim 10 belong to the former. Not quite so last gentlemen. A few words may serve to place this ninttcr in its proper light. 1 assert, that instead of tico, there were three parties in conflict in the Convention which framed our Constitution. The Republicanf, with Madison as their principal organ—the Federalists, with Hamilton, and n party who entertained then the views now cherished by the Nullificrs. At the head of this third party, were Patrick Henry and Luther Marlin. What became of this party! Why, sir. as a party, they ceased to exist with the adoption by the people of our Constitution, nnd but for its temporary appear- ancfrlti Hew England some yenrsngo, (mean ing the Hartford Conventionist*,) and subse quently in South Carolina a short time since, we should bear no more of it." Mr. Stocks and bis friends have not forgotten that in 183-1, when Mr. McAllister had gone over to the then Union parly, he charged the State Rights as being the " Hartford Con- rentioa party," revived! They cannot under stand how it is, that, after the whole Union party has bren surrounded and captured by Cooper, Daniel, Colquitt, Black, Haral son, Lawson, and n score or two of small fry politicians, and after It has been nounced that the "Standard Bearer" has be come the embodiment of the principles of the old State Rights party, he should so soon dis cover that Governor CtiAWPoni) and his friends were conspiring to lead Georgia into the embraces of Federal Massachuscls! These gentlemen have known Governor Crawpord long nnd well—they have fnmllinrizcd them selves with his principles and feelings, nnd have watched the admirable opperations and effects of his administration. They have con trasted the present with thtrpasi slate of things— they have seen tbe State raised from bankruptcy and ruin, by the influence of his measures— they know thnt the people are prosperous, and that ir the present policy is sustained the Slnte will, in a few years, be free from debt,.the peo- pie relieved from taxation, and our magnificent improvement, the State Road, will be adding annually to the revenues in the Treasury. Ad vantages so important, these gentlemen are un willing to risk for tho sake of gaining a mere party triumph, especially in the person of their old political foe. Neither Ihe prosed of office nor partizan zeal has shaken their integrity and their love for their native State and her prosperity. The reproof which is now mettled out to Mr. Stocks, is sadly in contrast with the flattery which was so liberally showered .upon him In 1844, when it was supposed that he was on his way to join their ranks. His position-is like that of hundreds in the blatc, who, though' less prominent than himself, will be equally certain to vote for the present able and faithful Execu tive. clent force to conquer any army that Mexico can possibly bring Into the field. A strong na val force should be put in Immediate comm|lh sion to act in concert with the land troops, and within ninety days we have little doubt that Mexico will sue for peace, os the only means of preventing her territory from becoming n de pendency of these United Steles." These sentiments are right and proper—they are American sentiment*, worthy of our ancient character and patriotism. We ore happy to find thnt they nre confined to no parly—no class of our people. The announcement made in the annex ed paragraph, from the Columbus Enquirer, we know will meet with a hearty response In Geor gia; nnd wc now predict that popular vengeance will fall upon tbe political trlcksteis who propose to give a party direction to the matter, Tor (he pur pose of mnklng political capital for Mr. McAt.- listkii nnd his friends. The proposition to get up an " Annexation Jubilee " at this late hour, on the eve of an important election, and when the country may bo In an actual stale of wnr, Is os shallow ns it is in bad ta» te. It will tie con strued into an attempt to drive the Whigs Into n position hostile to their country, when thnt country is in conflict with n foreign foe; arid will be scorned as a political trick by all true patriots of both parties. It is pleasant, there fore, to find the Whig presses nllve lo Ihe Im portance of the proposed movement and prompt in defining their position. We adopt the senti ments of the Enquirer when it says: "Be it remembered that our motto, tho motto of the Whig party, is the echo ofthe senilment of our own gallant Tattnall, '‘always right If pos sible,* but always for our country whether right or wrong." Without pretendingto claim for the Whig parly all tho patriotism and public spirit ofthe country, wo»rill any, they nre of the blood of the old Whigs of the Revolution, who achieved liberty for their children, nnd catnc at the clarion cnll of Henry Clay, of Kentucky, lo the rescue of the nation’s honor, in the second war of independence. They hnve inherited, it is true, their fathers’ hatred of all national wrong nnd injustice; but ns the pnrnmnunt sense of duty, obedience to the voice of their country, when she summons her sons to strife with their foes—wensk not, we care not, wheth er the grnnd-son of a Polk or q descendant of Washington sits in the place of authority, onr country, our country, "with all thy fault*, we love thee still;" and when the drum beats to arm*, no matter whether it bo to seal the injgui- t-ms "annexation" or a disputed territory of a friend nnd neighbor, by the shedding of her blood, or to resent the insults of nur ancient and twice beaten enemy,%e Wltlgs will come with true American hearts and hands, foremost to the fight.” Ktnto Election*. Alabama.*—Tho Mobile Advertiser of the 18th inst., says: "We huve the satisfaction of an nouncing to our readers the elcciiou of Joshua L. Martin, the independent candidate for Govern or, by nt least FOUR THOUSAD majority over Nathnnul Trry, tl)« . regular Locofoco nominee! We hax'c returns from nil tljecotintias in the Stale, except three. We find that Martin in Iho forty-seven counties from which we hnve returns, lends Terry 3952 vole*. The three counties to hear from are Covington, Dale and Coffee. Covington Isa Whig county, nnd will doubtless give Marlin n small mnjority. Dale Is g strong Locofoco county, but a letter in the Macon Republican says that Martin hns beaten Terry there. Coffee I* n *innll county nnd will give but q meagre mnjority either wny. We think, therefore, thnt Martin's majority will be increased by these three counties, and that his majority in the Stale will exceed roun thou sand l" Kentucky.—The Lexington Observer, stntes positively that A. Trutnbo, Whig, ha* been elected over bis Locofoco opponent, Richard French, a member of the Inst Congress, by n majority, of 43. The delegation wilt therefore consist of 8 Whigs nnd 2 Locos—a Whig gain of three representives. The Legislature Is Whig by nn overwhelming majority. Another account says: "In the sixth district, where McKee, a Whig candidate was supposed to be elected, the Locofoco candidate, hns suc ceeded. There were two Whigs in the field.— The delegation in the next Cnngres* will, con sequently, stand 7 Whigs and 3 Locos." Tennessee.—The Nashville IPAt^ofthc 12th inst,snys— "For the present, we consider Ihe Governor’s election a* by no mean* decided, though the chancek-would seem to be in favor of the Demo cratic candidate." The Nashville Union oi the snme date, says: "The returns place the election of Mr. Brown beyond a reasonable doubt." According to the Unionft estimate, Brown has made n nett gnln of 1,690 so fnr as heard from. The only hope that the majorities in the Loco strongholds may have fallen off. The contest for the Legislature is so close that both parties are afraid to clnim it. One vote will decide it either way. It is thought Blnckwell is elected to Congress over Orozler, in the Knox District. The Louisville Journal of Thursday last say*: There appears to be little doubt that tbcLoco- focos hnvo carried their Governor, but the Union seems to fear that, ns they have lost n member of tbe Legislature in Weakly county, the Legis lature will be Whig. We hope so. ijitcr.—The Tennessee papers received last night confirm tho election of Brown, the Loco foco candidate, to the office of Governor. The Nashville Danner, of the 13th. instant says: "From nil the calculations we have ourselves made, or heard others make, wc may consider that the Whigs hnvo certainly elected 12 Sena tors nnd 37 Representatives—nnolher Senator nnd nnolher Representative will give the Whigi the majority in both Houses." The following Congressmen nre known lo bo elected: First dioirlcl, A. Johnson, L. F.; 2d, Col. W. E. Cocke, W.; 3d, John Crozner, W.; 4th, Alvan Cullam, L. F., no opposition; 6th, G. W. Jones, L.

The Isaac of conversation with many citizens has led mo to Iho present measure of offering Bonn venture lo the Board of Aldermen as a de sirable site for a public Cemetery. These interments can be made far reraored from the city. Tho dead repose under the shad* of ills oaks of the soil. The structures of beau ty and taste corresponding with the view*, the circumstances of all, nnd the long remembered affection to departed friends, can be erected. In Ihe present Cemetery the soil, and tome of tho vaults, nre filled with the bodies of the dead, its vicinity to the city Is a serious objection lo the allowance of future interments, but this can not be prevented under the regulations of burial now established.'UV It is proposed to give n new direction on that subject. The city will continue to grow upon it, nnd more effectually surround it. In process of time, and perhaps that not dis tant, this city will contain twenty-five lo »hlrty thousand inhabitants, and assuming that lo do a fact, which Js now n reasonable supposition, docs not sound policy and sanative regulation demand the removal of the dead to n greater distance. 1 nm of opinion there wonld be a general determination to a Cemetery-at Bonaventure, and in the coutse of n few years the same as sociations would attract persons to it; as to present enclosure, where are so ninny buneu generations.; i . .. It may be n less important point than I have staled it, lo provide a new Cemetery; hot onr thought is turned to the future, and our posteri ty, nnd successors will thank ns for some sach wise nnd happy provision as that now sug gested. , Some other sites may be known possessing equal advantages with Bonaventure, and near er the city, but the general sentiment eeems to turn toward it. will not those coming after us npprovo our choice 1 ■ , The distance Is certainly an objection, bat that mav be reduced by a rond passing throogn the nine land from the opening. There Is no other plnce combining the sane natural and artificial advantages thnt couldw selected; which will not require the use of car riages to reach it. . . But it is unnecessary to pre*s the fitnew ana adaptation of Bonaventure fora public Ceme tery for tho county aa well as the city; U1** 0 seems to bo an agreement of opinion. ^ The price nsked for this property is S 6 ! 0 )"' nnd it is thus valued without speculation on tw supposed preference of tho location, by the citi zens or Savnnnah. . As regards price, my impression Is, that tne city might retain 25 or 30 acre* of land for » Cemetery, ornamented nnd made venerable bjr the trees of Iho soil; ns much as would be re quired for farm or garden for the resident Sex ton, which wonld employ him on the spot, ana a space for n grove outsfup of tbe Ceroeteit. This being taken from the tract, would leave land, nndjimber, nnd wood, which would com- mnnd from 2 to 3,000 dollars. . Should the citizens of Savannah bo dlspww to remove to Bonaventure for the burial or »ne dead, lots might be sold within the enclosure ror n sum which would repay the first cost or land, and probably largely exceed it.
