~ Address of tho Supplemental Whigs.
Thoso Whigawho withdrew from tho lato Union
Convention at Millodgovillo, havo issued tho fol
lowing address through tho Macon Jlfesaenger:
TO THE PEOPLE OP GEORGIA.
Tho Committoo nppointod by a portion of tho
Representatives of tho Constitutional Union Party
of Georgia, in Convention assembled, in Mulcdco-
villo, on the 15th of this month, to prepare an ad-
sons which induced that body to recommend tho
action proposed by its resolutions:
At the lato Convention of tho Union Party, of
which wo wore members, two propositions wore
submitted, one to soloct a third candidate, tho other
to support tho nominees of tho National Democrat
ic Convention. An irroconcilnblo ditloroneo of
opinion existed. A largo portion, supposed by
many to bo a minority of tho Convention, were de
termined to appolst an electoral ticket, pledged to
the support oT tho latter, whatover might bo tho
action of that body. This purposo was openly
avowod. Its tondoncy was to inducosomo who
preferred a third candidate, to give in their ndho-
sion to the soloction of General Piorco and Wnt.
R. King, rather than to produce, what such a posi
tion threatened to cffoct—a dissolution of tho Union
Party. Others who earnestly desired to present a
man whoso life, character and public sorviccs, in
connection with thoso great questions that absorbed
all others, wore known to tho pooplo, and would
command their cordial approbation accordingly, as
sorted their right to act, as in thoir judgment, and
in the judgment of their constituents, was most con
ducive to the interests of tho country, and of tho
Union Patty. This difierenco of purposo and opin
ion produced a division of tho convention. Ono
of thoso has adopted tho Democratic candidates.
The othor, in connection with many others who
wore prosont and concurred with it, organized itself
into a Convention, and havo recommended to tho
people of this State to meet in Convention in tho
city of Macon on tho 17th of August next, to tako
such action as to them may soem proper in tho ou-
suing election.
Tho policy recommended by tho body of which
tho committoo are tho organs, is to form a now
ticket, composed of tho names of men whom tho
people may bo proud to affirm by their suffrages, as
worthy to rule this groat Republic. This recom
mendation presents tho question—why should not
Genoral Scott nr General Piorco bo supported lor
tho next Presidency by tho Constitutional Union
p tL' almost universal expression of public opin
ion against General Scott m this Stato, renders it
unnecessary to assign reasons to induce the peopto
to withhold their suffrages from one against whom
thoy havo already declared. His silence previous
to nis nomination, on tho great question of tho
Compromise measure—tho fact that a majority of
his friondsin the Convention that presented his
name, were opposed to, and voted against an ac-
qiuscenco in them; and that tho leading organs of
his supporters in tho free States reject tho platform,
so far as it doclares them to bo a final settlement,
in addition to his own previously avowed desire for
the “amelioration of slavery, oven to its extermi
nation, H have created against him in this State an
amount of opposition that renders it impossible for
him to command tho voto of Georgia.
Nor does the Union Party, and in tho opinion of
the undorsigned, a largo number of other good citi
zens of this Stato, feel willing to support tho can
didate of tho Democratic Convention. A groat
crisis has just passed in tho history of this country.
Old parties that had battled together for years havo
boon in Georgia, and other soctions, to a great do-
greo broken up. A new ora in our political history
has arrived, and it behooves every ono to mark wel.
the direction to which now issues may tend. Tho
Democratic Convention, in subservience to mere
party policy, cast osido all those great states
men to whom a large portion of tho country looked
for a choice for President, and has oflerea to tho
poople a man hitherto comparatively unknown.
Tho convention that nominated hitn, it is true, de
clared in favor of tho compromise measures, as did
the National Whig Convention. But as in tho casi
of Genoral Scott—tho free soil supporters of Genera
Piorco denounce tho platform, ana disavow it, os
not having tho sanction of tho Democratic party.
In the great Stato of New York, tho majority of
that party voted for Mr. Van Burcn in 1848. Thoy
now support Gen. Piorco. There, os well as else
where, thoy repudiate tho platform, and accept tho
candidato. Amongst them, are men of command-
injg talents and controlling influence—political in
triguers whoeo lives provo that their aid is never
given without a well founded hopo of reward.—
General Pierce has not been indentified by any
public act with theso groat questions—nor is ho
sufficiently known to tho world, so ns to prevent a
serious apprehension that thoso influences with him
may be as dangerous, as it is feared they would be
with his opponent. Nor can tho fact bo forgotten,
that ho doclined to answer tho letter of Mr. Scot.
of Virginia, which was addressed to him with nil
others whose names wore before tho convention that
nominated him. That letter contained specific
interrogatories concerning tho whole question of
slavery, and amongst them ono in relation to tho
veto of a bill repealing tho Fugitive Slave Law.
Thoso questions woreTully answered by every ono
of the other candidates to whom they wore ad
dressed, but General Pierce, tho only ono who failed
or refused to answer, received tho nomination. I
is, and will bo regretted, if General Piorco is electee
President, that he declined to avow his position on
that great question, so that by receiving tho ap
probation of the people, it might havo been forovor
settled.
There is ono other question which has agitated
the public mind, second only to the one we have just
discussed. We refer to what iB commonly known
as tho doctrino of Intervention. It has taken a
deep hold on tho public mind ot tho Northern
States. The great Hungarian exile has made tho
asylum to which ho was invited, tho theatre for
propagating a doctrino hostilo to tho teachings of
the Father of his Country, and all tho founders of
tho Republic. This doctrine threatened to become
on element in tho Presidential election. Tho whole
pooplo had bccomo aroused, and the Scnato of tho
United States had been agitated by its discussion.
It was hoped and expected that both the great Con
ventions in which every State was represented,
would have assumed finn, bold and decided ground
against it. One of them did. Tiie other, that
nominated Gen. Pierce, totally failed to tako any
iioeition whatever. It is true that it passed a reso
lution which is incorporated in tho Platform, as
the position of the party that supports Gen. Pierce,
and as be approves of that Platform, and wo have
nothing farther from him, it must be his own posi
tion. Wo beg loavo to submit tho resolution:
Resolved, That in view of the condition of pop
ular institutions in tho Old World, a high and sa
cred duty is dovolved with increased responsibility,
upon tho Democratic party of this county, as the
party of tho people, to uphold and maintain tho
rights of overy Stato, and thereby tho Union of tho
States, and to sustain and advance among us consti-
tutional liberty, by continuing to. resist all mono
polies and exclusive legislation for tho benefit of tho
row at tho expense of tho many, and by a vigilant
and constant adhoronco to those principles and com
promises oi tho Constitution, which are broad
enough and strong enough to embrace and uphold
tho Union as it was, tho Union os it is, and the
Union as it shall bo, in tho lull expansion of tho
energies ana capacity of this great and progressive
poople.
It is to bo feared that on a groat and vivat ques-
tiou, the convention purposely concealed, under a
multitude of words, what it intended to mean—il
indeed it moans anything—for fear of injurying
thoir candidato amongst those of tho party who
differed in opinion. Meetings havo been held in
the Northern States by those who ndvocato tho
doctrine of Intervention, chiefly composed of for
eign voters. They havo boon addressed by Kos
suth against tho party that opposed his position in
solomn form, and expressing a hope that, as tho
other failed to declare against it, and os many of
tho loading statesmen of that party wore known to
bo in favor of itahoy might engraft it on tho policy
of that party. Resolutions havo been passed by
thorn openly avowing thoir purposo to force this
country into an interforcnco with tho affaire of
other nations, and equally ns strongly declaring
themsolves in favor of Gon. Plerco. Wo havo just
mot with tho following, which was adopted at ono
of these meetings:
Resolved, That it is tho object of tho Associa
tion to effect tho general acknowledgement of tho
importance and power of tho German element, as
representative of progress, in all questions of exter
nal as well as internal policy within tho National
Democratic party.
It is to bo deeply regretted that tho Convention
Which presented the name of Genoral Fierce failet
to act as became n groat National party, on a mat-
tor of such vital importance.
Upon these grounds it is belloved that a majority
of tho Union party oi Goorgia, with many others,
will withhold thoir support from both of tho nomi-
nooe of tho Baltimore Conventions. Tho question
nriscs, what shall wo do ? Shall we remain neu
tral, or choose n candidato who can secure tho
votes of that majority, and who is known to bo truo
to tho principles wo cherish? It may bo objected,
that the selection of a third namo will bo without
unyhopeof success. To this it is a sufficient re
ply, that duty 1b not measured by tho chnnccsof
victory. Whethor tho prospect is promising or
gloomy, the obligation is nono tho less on ovory
freeman to make tho effort that patriotism imposes
— and the independent voter, without faltering a
tho hazard of a failure, will still desire tho prouc
satisfaction of giving his voto to tho man of his
choico. Nor is it conceded that in this cflort wo
shall bo alono. Tho convention that recommondei
this policy suggested for President tho namo o
Daniel Webster. Already has it boon announced
that ten of tho States of this Union havo moved in
his behalf and propoao a Convention of his friends
nt Philadelphia at an early day, to submit his
claims to the pooplo of tho Unitod States. If
prompt and decided action bo taken by Georgia,
other Southern States will cordially co-oporato.—
Tho fame, and character of Mr. Webster—the
strong hold ho has on tho affections of his country
men—tho heartfelt desire of thousands who, loving
their country bettor than party* wish to soo“the
greatest intellect of tho age preside over tho groat-
"T Republic In tfioj world,"will inspire an onthu-
ismin hia behalf that will add strength to tho
—liont overv hour of tho canvass.
i objectod, also, that neither Mr. Webster,
Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Jenkins will accept a nomi
nation. Wo need not ask thorn; An ncooptanco
otd nomination is not noccasaiy to make & veto or
an olcction legal; and it will bo with incroasod
p oasurothat our suffrages are not clawed by thoso
who receive them. It is tho brightest incident in
tho history of Rome, that ono of nor purest patriots
was invested with supremo power whilst standing
at tho handlo of his plough, and who had not ac
cepted a nomination to loavo his rostio calling.
As has boon stated, ono portion.of tho Union
Party has avowed its determination to support Gon.
Piorco, and has solectod an doctoral ticKot with
that intontion. This difforonco is to bo dooply re-
rotted. Had tho Union Party acted together in
10 ensuing Presidential oloction, it could havo
made it a proud day in tho history of Georgia, by
declaring themselves tree from thoso entangling
party alliances which are continually demanding
at our hands concessions that cannot do mado with
out tho sacriflco of long chorished principles. It is
to bo hoped that this division is neither tatol or fin
al. Wo approciato too wdl tho groat victories that
tho Constitutional Union Party of Goorgia hus
achieved for itsolf and tho country, to hesitato to
rally again with thoso of our Union bethren who
now differ from us, when tho occasion that producos
that difference shall havo passed by.

Tho Savannah Firo Department,
It give® us ploasuro to transfor.to our columns tho
following flattering notico of our Fire Department,
which wo find in tho Now-York Cottrier tj En
quirer. It will interest tho writo of it to know,
that under the organization of our Firo Companies,
thoro has novor boon any quarreling or wrangling.
An honest emulation and vigilant attention to duty
has always characterized them, and wo boliovo
that tho record would bo ransackod in vain for any
ovidonco of brawls or streot quarrels, for tho last
quarter of a century—a circumstance greatly in
favor of the Company. Tho Courier, after des
cribing tho now ongino just received, substantially
a8wohavodono,prococdsto8pcakof tho Depart
ment as follows:
Tho Savannah Firo Department is, as wo are in
formed, peculinr in its organization, tho wholo du
ty of this Department being dovolved upon thirty-
six gentlemen, selected from among its most oner-
gotic and capabio citizeus, who, under tho titlo of
tho “Savannah Firo Company," havo chargo of all
tho engines and othor fire apparatus belonging to
tho city. This Company annually olocts threo of
its own members as chiof and 1st and 2d assistant
firemen, whoso duties are tho same as Chiof and
Assistant Engineers with us. They are invested
with supremo authority nt fires, and can arrest any
citizen, or othor porson, refusing to obey orders,
and commit them to prison. Two membors of tho
“Company” are also attached to each of tho En-
gino Companies, ns managers, and act in tho samo
capacity as Foreman and Assistnnt’of a Now-York
engino. With tho exception of thoso managers,
ho Epgino Companies are constituted entirely of
blacks, who are paid a shilling rn hour whon at
work, and who chooso from nmeng themsolves
thoir Captains and nil subordinate officers.—
Whon an alarm is given tho first at tho house re
ceives a premium of ono dollar, and tho socond and
third, fifty cents each. In addition to their atten
dance at fires, they are subjected to’ regular drills,
and in May they havo an annual parade, under tho
direction of their own officers, in which their, pride
and tasto is exhibited in tho decoration of thoir En
gines, &c., and in the display of thoir very appro-
priato uniforms. As thoy thus march through tho
streets, singing thoir negro songs, thoy present a
spectacle of joyousness and pride—of happiness
unalloyed by cares, unapproachablo by any othor
raco of pooplo. Usually, on theso occasions, thoro
are presentations of wreaths, &c., from ono Com
pany to another, and tho remarks are always very
sensiblo, although coming from slaves.
Tho organization is ono of great efficiency, and
tho plan ot rewards, and tho privileges and Indul
gences extended to tho men, oro well calculated to
stimulate them to prompt and choorfiil exertion and
emulation in tho performance of thoir duties.
The engines, &c. for tho “Savnnnnh Fire Com
pany” have heretofore boon ordered from Boston;
but if tho ono now sent out shall provo itself, os it is
believed it will, superior to thoso, tho "Company”
will hereafter look to our mechanics for any addi
tional machinery it may require.
Illness op Gen. Scott.—General Scott is con
fined to his bed with tho dyBiutcry. Ho has de
clined going to Niagara, to attend tho contemplated
great Whig demonstration.
Jacob Bell, the extensivo ship buildor, died in
New York, Wednesday last.
Ship Prcntico on Fire.
Tho ship Prentice, noarly loaded with cotton ior
Havre, is now on firo, (9 o’clock P. M.,) both fore
and aft. This is tho third time this vessel has boon
on fire.
Smrr of the Georgia Press.—Tho Griffin
Union doclares in favor of a third candidato.
,, Hop-Scott n and “ Third Man” are tho games
most in voguo in Goorgia, just nt this time.
Onr Position In the Present Canvass.
Wo can recall no period in tho political history
of Georgia, when men and parties wore so much
divided as in tho present Presidential contest.—
There are old-fashioned and tirao-honored Whigs,
who avow thoir determination not to support tho
nominco of their party. Others are ready to tako
the nominee, believing, ns between him and Gen.
Pierce, that ho is the lesser ovil of tho two. Oth
ers ngain are opposed to both, and call for tho nom
ination of a third tickot—Daniel Webster and
Charles J. Jenkins. Another class, anxious to
maintain tho organization of tho Constitutional
Union Party, and believing they can accomplish
more good in that way, in tho present divided stato
of tho public mind, than in any other, havo nomi
nated an Electoral Ticket pledged to the support
of Pierce and Kino.
In other words, there are Union Democrats and
Southern Rights Democrats—Union Whigs and
Southern Rights Whigs—Scott Whigs and anti-
Scott Whigs—Pierce Whigs and anti-PiERCE
Whigs—stand-still Whigs, or those who wash their
hands of both tho candidates and will have nothing
to do with oither—and Terlium Quids, or thoso
who go fora third candidate. In addition to tho le
gislative caucuses held by the Union and Southern
Rights members, last winter, there has been a
Southern Rights Democratic convention, a Union
convention, a supplemental Union Democratic
meeting, a Fillmore convention, a socond Union
convention, and a supplemental Whig meeting
and now a Tertium Quid, or Third man’s conven
tion, and a Scott convention, havo been called—
making altogether ten political conventions and
caucuses in ono Stato within a period of six months!
Verily, Goorgia is in a fair way of oxchanging the
proud titlo of “ the Empire Stato of tho South” for
that of tho Convention or supplemental State.
In tho good old times of Whiggery and Democ
racy—-of tariff and anti-tariff—of bank and anti
bank—of Jackson and anti-Jackson—it was nn
easy matter to determine one’s latitude and longi-
tudo. It was all plain sailing then. In thoso days
Major Jock Downing and General Jackson kept
things straight. But now, turn where wo will, we
are confronted by an old friend. To go for Pierce,
is to bo democratized—to go for Scott, is to bo-
como a Sowardite—to stand still, is to bo silly and
impracticable—to declare for a third candidate, is
to bo Quixotic and visionary. To do any ono of
these things, is to offend all tho other parties, and
to do noithcr, is to isolate yourself.
In view of this state of things, it would bo won-
dorful, indeed, if any course wo could adopt were
not mado a cause for censure. Each ono thinks
we should decido for him, and cast our influence for
himsolf and his views. As this cannot bo douo, wo
havo determined, for tho present, to stand aloof
from tho ponding Presidential contest. We shall
take no part in it, except so far as to keep the
reader informed of tho general political news of tho
day, and to admit temperato communications of
moderate length from all sides. Thus, instead of
a partisan paper, with only one side, tho reader will
have an independent paper giving ail sides.
We cannot consent to enter into a contest against
cherished friends, nor to engago in a scramble from
which such a patriot as Jenkins holds himself aloof.
Wo could not alter the final result in Georgia, if we
would. Wo prefer therefore to husband our strength
for future emergencies. When tho storm shnil
havo past, we shall be ready to put out in our littlo
boat to the wreck, and to savo such of the sufferers
as have survived its lury. Thus wo may be instru
mental in gathering together many, if not all, of tho
friends of truo principles, of tho Union and tho
South, who have been dispersed and scattered over
tho face of tho great deep. In tho meantime, we shall
not be unmindful of tho duties of an independent,
conservative press. Wo shall continue tho war
against extreme mon and extremo opinions, whether
thoy come from tho North or tho South—against
Kossuthism, tho higher law and the lowor law—
and shall over bo ready to defend either of the
candidates now before tho country.from unjust
attacks, and either of tho parties and parts of parties
into which tho pooplo are unhappily divided, from
misrepresentation and abuse.
——Tho foregoing was written somo days
ago, but wo thought it best, to hold it over until
tho excitement consequent upon tho action of tho
convention at MUlodgcvillo had somewhat subsided,
and tho public mind hod assumed its wonted
calmness and quiet. Tho pooplo oro now bettor
enabled to judgo of tho propriety of tho course wo
havo marked out for ourselves. This much wo
havo thought it proper to say in justification of
ourselves, and that the Georgian, in its vanity and
malignity, may not flatter itself that wo havo been
forced into a declaration of our views by any thing
it has said, or can say.
TjieOqeeciiee Plank Road.—Wo understand
that tho lumber for the construction of this road is
fast being delivered. Moro than ono hundred
thousand loot havo already arrived by tho river,
and a temporary road is being constructed from tho
Southern terminus of tho plank road in West
Broad-street to the commencement of tho now
road near tho jail. Tho contracts for ail tho lum
ber required have been mado at tho mills in tho in
terior, and tho work will now bo prosecuted with
onergy to its completion. It is expected that a
Christmas dinner will bo servod at tho Southerp
terminus of tho road.
Wo loam that tho ship Ocean Star which arriv
od yesterday from Nowport, Wales, to Messrs.
. Padelford, Fay &, Co., brings a cargo of eight hun
dred tons Rail-Road Iron, for tho Fort Valley
Branch of tho South-Western Rail-Road.
Adjournment of Congress.—In tho Senato on
Wednesday, tho joint resolution fixing tho 16th of
August as tho day on which Congress should ad
journ, was taken up, and the 31st of August substi
tuted for the 16tb of that month.
The Vacant Judgeship in tho Supremo Court of
tho United States, occasioned by the recent death
of Judgo McKinley, it is rumored, will bo tendored
to a Louisiana Senator. Judgo McKwley was a
nativo of tho Stato of Virginia, was appointed from
tho Stato of Alabama, and hia rcsidonco was at
Louisville, Kentucky, where ho died.
More Freesoil Agitation.—A dispatch from
Washington says that Hon. Charles Sumner (iree-
soil Unitod States Senator from Massachusetts) will
introduce a motion next wook to repeal tho fugitive
Blave law, and sustain it in an elaborate speocb on
tho truo relations of tho National Government to
tho institution of slavery.
Laborers for the Pacific Railroad.—Two
hundred laborers loft New-York Tuesday lor
Nicaragua, to build tho Railroad from Virgin Boy
to tho Pacific.
Congressional Printing. — Tho Democratic
members of tho IIouso cannot yet bo brought to
unito in the project of giving tho printingof Congress
to the Union newspaper. Two Democratic cau-
cusses agreed to it, but tho measure cannot, it scorns,
bo carried into effect. Tho Southern Press Bays
that tho party will not givo tho printing to Gen.
Armstrong of tho Union. This contest, which has
so long been continued, shows that tho Democratic
party has lost its ancient cohesion.
State Elections.—Stato Elections, it is said, will
toko place in tho following States before tho Presi
dential election in November:—Kentucky, August
2; Indiana, August 2; Missouri, August 2; North
Carolina, August 5; Tcnncssco, August 5; Ver
mont, September?; Maine, September 18; Ar
kansas, October 4; Florida, October 4 j Maryland,
October 10; South Carolina, October 12; Pennsyl
vania, October 12; Ohio, October 12.
Mexican Outrages on tiie Frontier.—A cor
respondence has taken placo between tho U. S.
Consul at Matamoras, and Gen. Avalos, about the
rocont numorous outrages committed by Moxicans
on American citizens along tho borders of Texas,
and also firing into tho steamer Comanche. Gen.
Avalos denies nil knowledge of tho former. Ho
says that the officers of tho Camanche held n Court
Martial at Ringgold barracks, and acquitcd Major
Paulcs and Major Garnett, of tho 7th Regiment U.
S. Infantry, of disobeying tho orders of Gen. Harney,
to seize a band of American followers of General
Caravajal.
South Carolina Railroad.—Tbo Charleston
Mercury has received from an authentic source tho
following statement of the general operations of tho
Charleston and Hamburg Railroad for the last six
months:
The gross income for tho half year, ending Juno
The Whig Reveille.—Last night’s mail brought
us tho first number of tho Whig Reveille, a cam
paign paper started in Atlanta, and dovotedtotho
advocacy of Gen. Bears.

• Tho Mercury adds that “tho Board of Directors,
at their meeting on Tuesday evening, with entire
unanimity, confirmed all tho arrangements mado by
tho President with tho city of Augusta for crossing
tho Savannah river.”
TnE College of the Holy Cross.—This well
known institution which was doetroyod by firo nt
Worcester, Mass., last Wednesday week, was not
insured. The loss on the building and ’ furniture is
$50,000, besides which many of tho scholars lost
their entire wardrobe. Tho library was snved, but
was slightly damaged. Tho building was a sub
stantial structure of brick and granite, four stories
high and about 200 feet in longth. It was erected
in 1840 or '41, for educational purposes, and was
under tho caro of tho Fathers of the Society of
Jesus. Tho average number of pupils for several
years past, has beent about ono hundred, and tho
Faculty at tho present timo consists of a President,
Vico President, Prefect of Schools, five Professors,
and six Assistant Teachers. As a literary institu
tion it occupied a high rank in the denomination
by which it was endowed, and youths from all parts
of tbo Union, from Canada and from tho West In
dies, aro sent to bo educated for ecclesiastical, pro
fessional and commercial life,
Constructive Mileage.—Somo of tbo Senators
took tho constructive mileage, it seems, for tbo ses
sion of a week which followed tho 3d March, 1851
Mr. Fillmore detained the Scnato for a few days
then. For tho previous called session, on tho 4th
March, 1819, nearly all the Senatora took con
structive milengo, but it crcatod a great deal of re
mark and opposition. Tho Comptroller of tho
Treasury refused to allow tho item, and mado a re
port exhibiting its illegality. In 1850, the Senato
passed a resolution prohibiting such payments.—
Mr. Clay and several other Senators denounced tho
usago os disreputable to tho Senate. But, notwith
standing this, tho mile&go lias boon paid for tho
session of March, 1851, to all who have asked for
it. It was supposed that all would take it, and
therefore, an appropriation to meet it was put in
tho Deficiency Bill by tho Senate, last week. But
tho IIouso rejected the item. Tho IIouso havo
heretofore, from courtesy to tbo Senate, passed such
items; but it would soem that they aro disinclined
to do it again. Tho Deficiency Bill, tho passage of
which is so necessary for tho operations of tho Gov
ernment, is, therefore, to bo dolayod by this disa
greement between tho two Houses.
Marriage in High'Life*
’ We transfer to our columns from an English pa-
per tho following account of tho lato marriage of
Lady Constanc*.Levbon Gower with tho young
Earl of Grosvenor. Tho brido is ono of tho most
boautiful young womon in England. Tho father of
tho bridegroom is tho richest nobloman in England,
while if wo mlstako not, tho Duko of Suthorlandis
thq noxt riphoet. Wo havo boon assured by sovoral
Englishmen that ns soon as somo old leases run out,
tho incomo of tho Eari of Wostminstor will bo lit
tlo if any short of one million pounds storllng a
yoar, or somo ton thonsand dollars a day:
Tho marriage of Lady Constanco Lovoson Gower,
youngest daughter of tho Duke and Duchess of Suth
erland. with Earl Groevonor, oldest son of tho Mar
quis of Westminster, was solemnized on Wednesday
in tho prosonce of her Majesty tho Quocn and Frinco
Consort, her Royal Highness tho Duchess of Kont,
and n distinguished dtcle of tho friends of both nobio
families. Tho ooretnony took place by tho express
S emission of her Majesty in tho chapol royal,
t. James’s, an odilice very rarely used on similar
occasions, except in the case oi marriages in tho
royal family. Tho friends invited to bo present nt
tho ceremony began to arrive at tho chapol about
half-past twelvo o’clock. Tho noblo bridegroom,
accompanied by Viscount Anson as liis “best
friond, came at a fov minutes before ono o clock.
The brido arrivod in company with hor noblo fathor
and mother at ono o’tlock. llor ladyship was re
ceived by a train of eight bridesmaids—namely,
tho Indies Octaviu, Agnes. Jnno and Thoodora
Grosvonor, sistors cf tho bridegroom, tho lady
Adoliza Fitzalan Howard, lady Louisa Cavendish,
lady Blancho Egortcn, and the Hon. Mary Las-
colfes.
All theso ladios were boautifully attired in whito
placo silk dresses, with jackets to correspond, and
whito laco bonnets. Tno costumo of hor ludyship
was marked by an oicoedingly lino tast. Bho wore
a whito satin dross covered with guipure flounces.
Tho head-dress wus of drooping whito roses, cn-
twinod with tho ortmgo flower and myrtle, sur
mounted with a splendid veil of guipure falling to
tho feet. Tho bodito and slcoves wore of tho samo
lnco, supported in front by n magnificent corbunclo,
surrounded with brilliants, a present from her Ma
jesty, tho Queen. Anecklaco of pearls, diamonds,
ana emeralds, completed her ladyship’s toilot. Sho
looked exquisitely beautiful, anu as resting on tho
arm of her father, she walked up tho chapel with a
dignified yet mouest self-possession, hor ladyship
received tno hearty congratulations of hor frionds
and relatives. Tho Duolics of Sutherland, without
exaggeration, looked almost os boautiful as hor
daughter.
Tho Bishop of London and tho Very Rev. Dr.
Wesley having taken their places at the altar, tho
bridal group formed in front, and at tho samo in
stant her Majesty and tho Prince Consort, witlr her
Royal Highness the Duchessof Kont, (who had ar
rived privately by tho gardonentranco) entered from
tho unte-rooiu into tho royal closet facing tho altar.
Tho Queen and tho Prince, with tho Duchess of
Kent, loft tho chapol as soon os the ceremony was
concluded.
Tho brido and bridegroom lolt tho chapol in tho
noblo carl’s chariot, and returned to Stafford house,
whore a maguificcnt “dejeuner” was given by tho
Duchess of Sutherland in celebration of tho nappy
event. Tho exit from tho chapol and arrival at
Stafford houso was greeted by tho croVvd with loud
cheers. Tho broakfust wag served in tho picture
gallery. where a table was spread from ond to end,
covers being laid for about 150 guests, with an an-
ray ns magnificent nnd costly as it was tasteful —
At tho “dqjounor,” tho health of tho newly wedded
E air was very gracofully proposed by tho Earl of
-arlislo.
Tho noblo carl’s toast was responded to witli
threo limes three hearty chocrs. Tho bridal cako
was now immediately nnndcd round to tho guests,
who soon after roso and retired to tho drawing
rooms. At this timo nn opportunity was afforded to
witness tiio very costly and magnificent presents
mado to tho brido. Amongst thoso wore hor Ma
jesty’s gift of a diamond Btomacher, and a splendid
tiara of diamonds contributed by tho Marquis of
Westminster, together with a nocklace having a
fine opal and ruby and diamond pendent, from tho
Duke of Sutherland; a very beautiful bottle, covered
over with gold, from Lord Clifdon; and a jowollod
mttcrfly necklace of rubles and omoralds from tbo
i)uchc8S of Argyll. In theso presents, howovor
rich nnd costly the., material, tho artistic skill of
their elaboration and exeebtion scorned to vio with
tho generosity of tho donors. The Duchess of
Sutherland’s presont was an ebony dressing enso,
with gold mountings, and olaborato turquoiso or
naments—a rccherchi work.
{COMMUNICATED.]
Messrs. Editors:—I would not havo noticed tho
reply in your paper of yesterday morning to my
communication, but for tho statement in it that I
had nttempted to imposo upon tho public, by garb
ling tho report of Gon. Piorco’s spoeoh. I am sur
prised that this statement should bo mado in tho
face of tho fact, that no chargo was mado against
Gen, Piorco that ho would not Oxocuto tho Fugitive
Slavo law; on tho contrary, my pioco admitted that
ho was pledged on tho subject, and I expressed my
self satisfied with his pledgo. Tho point thon was
not whether Gen. Piorco would oxecuto tho Fugi
tive Slave law, but as to his abstract opinions on
tho subject. And as to this point, it is not pretend
ed that I havo emitted anything. Tho addition of
your correspondent, nnd which ho would havo tho
public boliove I omitted, is on another point, nnd
in roforenco to which no attack was mado on (ion.
Piorco. Besides, tho words added “by a Whig”
aro notin tho account of Gon. Piorco’s speech which
I profess to copy. In my communication, I stato
distinctly that I had taken it from tho Washington
Republic, wliich paper had taken it from tho Inde
pendent Democrat, published at Concord, N. H.,
tho rcsidonco of Gen. Piorco. If any mnn will
compare tho account in my communication, with
tho account from which 1 profess to copy, (nnd this
is vtfiat your correspondent ought to havo done,) ho
will find that I hevo not omitted a sentence, a line
or a word.
But even if 1 had professod to copy from tho ac
count of tho correspondent of tho Manchester Dem
ocrat, os your correspondent “A Whig” assumes,
contrary to tho faet^till thoro would bo no ground for
tho chargo of garbling, when it is remembered that
I had made no chargo against Gou. Piorco that ho
would not enforca tho Fugitivo Slave law. On tho
contrary, I had expressed myself satisfied with his
pledgo on that subjoct, and tho addition of “A
Whig” goes only to that point. My only reasons
for selecting tho one account, rather than tho other,
was on account of its brevity—you, Messrs. Edi
tors, having pronounced a former communication of
mine to bo of “inxnoderato length.”
Ono word mors, and I havo dono. “A Whig”
says that tho Washington Union, on tho authority
of Gen. Pierce’s frionds, hns pronounced tho chargo
falso and slanderous. This certainly makes up tho
issue between Genoral Pierco’a friends nnd tho New
Hampshire editors. Tho noxt stop is tho testimony;
where is it ? It may bo forthcoming hereafter—it
may bo in tho Washington Union, for I havo not
scon that paper; but it is not in tho nrticio of “A
Whig.” As at present informed, I should say tho
ovidonco rather preponderated against Gen. Pierce,
becauso tho Independent Democrat is corroborated
by tho letter to tho Manchester Democrat, written
the day after tho speech was dolivored. Unless it
can bo shown that theso two accounts have tho
same source, tho testimony is absolutely conclu
sive. No two persons could have so substantially
agrcod in their report, if thoro bo no foundation for
it in fact. W. li. F.
« Indemnity of Spanish Subjects.—Tho Sonata
has passod tho bill for tho indemnity of tho Spanish,
Consul and Spanish subjects resident at Now-Or-
loans and Key West who suffered loss from tho
popular excitcmont growing out ofthe Cuban affair.
Tho Houso will, no doubt, pass it. This will opon
a way to tho allowance of tho claims of American
citizens upon tho Spanish govemmont for tho des
truction of their proporty. Mr. J. S. Thrasher has
presented a claim through his Govornmont on ac
count of tho sacrifice of his nowspapor. Claims of
a similar character on behalf of othor Amorican
citizens aro to bo urged.
Harvard Graduates.—-The numbor of graduates
of Harvard Collogo has boon 6,342, of whom 4,672
havo boon sinco 1751, or during tho last hundred
yoars. Of the wholo number, 4,185 had -died, and
2,157 wore presumed to bo living at tho oloso of
tho yonr 1851.
Immense Freight Train.—Ono of tho largest
freight trains that has over boon drawn over any
road, camo into Detroit ovortho Central Rail-Road
on tho morning of tho 15th. It wob composed of
76 care, and there wore noarly 300 tons freght. It
was drawn by a single ono of thoir very powerful
locomotives. Tho train was n littlo over a quartor
of n milo in longth. __
Statistics of Liberia.—Tho Missionary Maga-
zino for July, among othor statistics of Liberia, states
tho inhabitants at 300,000, among whom about 7,000
may bo regarded as civilized. Thoro aro moro than
2,000 communicants in tho Christian churches,
moro than 1,500 children in Sabbath schools, and
1,290 in day schools. Communicants in tho mis
sions on tho Gold Coast about 10,000. Attendants
at day schools in tho samo about 11,000, Funds
havo boon raisod in tho Unitod Statos for education
to tho amount of fifty thousand dollars.
The Fisherey Troubles.—A despatch to the
Charleston Standard states that tho fishcroy troubles
betwoon this country and Great Britain, it is be
lieved, will amount to nothing.
Tho enuso seems to bo this. By tho treaty botween
Great Britain and tho United Statos, American
fishermon nre not permitted to pursue their avoca
tion within n loaguo of tho Nova Sootinn coasts,
nor in tho Bay of Fundy. But according to tho
Halifax Sun, our fishermon, in violatiou of this
compact, havo not only cast thoir nots within tho
prescribed waters, but, whon thoir fortunes havo
been bad, havo helped themselves, vi et armis, from
tho nots of tho British fishermen. It is ovon asserted,
by tho same authority, that tho residents having
rallied, after one of theso outrages, and captured an
offending vessol and crow, tho Americans, in re
taliation, gathered together thoir forces, and rescued
the captured boat, leaving hor commander, howovor,
who was in prison on shore. From this narrativo
the deduction is drawn, that “troublo of a serious
nature” threatens to disturb tho pcaco of Groat
Britain and tho United States; and already numor
ous journals, in consoquonco, aro speculating on the
contingencies of a rupture, nnd tho possibility of
its results.

Tons of Gold!—Tho produce of gold for 1852
is estimated at 242 tons, which, altliuugh twelvo
times tho quantity produced nt tho commencement
of tho century, as respects bulk, sinks into porfoct
insignificance; for, if cost in bars, a closet nino
feet high, eight feet wide, and oight feet deep,
would hold it all. 21,713 times tho spaco would
be required to hold all tbo iron smelted in Groat
Britain annually.
Too Many Horses.—Horses aro said to become
so numerous in Brazil ns to bo a serious troublo.
Tho Emperor lias therefore issued adocrco, author
ing tho citizens to shoot brood mares wherever

tho windows of Mrs. Mowatt, tho actress and au
thoress, and her lady companions, nt tho Louisvillo
Hotel, were hung with whito, trimmed with wroatlis
of violets, tho Now Church or Swcdonborginn signs
of mourning. Mrs. Mowatt entertained tho high
est admiration of Mr. Clay, which was deeply
reciprocated on his part.
The Jews in Europe.—From Bavaria tho in
creased emigration of Jews continues to attract tho
notico of tho government, and tho hereditary legis
lators havo lately thought it odvisnblo to repeal tho
expatriating laws against them. But it is too
lato; tho depopulation of tho lnnds has already told
upon tho property of tho country, and thoy fool tho
loss of somo of thoir best citizens.
In Hanover tho stato of tho Jows is growing ovory
day moro deplorablo. A law has lately passed
which snatches from tho Jewish inhabitants all po
litical voico.
Tho Rabbi S. L. Rapapert, of Praguo, and Mr.
Kaompt wore honored by on invitation to roccivo
tho Emperor of Austria on a rocont visit to tho capi
tal of Bohemia. Tho young Emperor has learned
to be very “smooth” with tho Jows, and no doubt
ho will soon want onothor loon of threo million
pounds sterling, os ho must borrow to pay tho intor-
cst of his national debt, which has within tho las
ton yoars grown euonnoualy.
