boforo it had made any progress, and put but; doing

A mannamod Patrick Lyons shot his wifo last
evoning by tho accidental discharge, or rather tho
careless handling of a pistol. Ho was in tho act of
cocking tho pistol whon it wont off, and tho chargo
consisting of small shot, entered tho breast of his

wound ia sorious, but it is thought, not mortal. At
tho time, Lyons was under tho influence of liquor.
He has boon arrested and placed in tho Guard

-ion Convention -called at Philadelphia for tho
Tho steamship Florida, Capt. Lyon, left this port
at ono o’clock, Saturday aftomoon, for Now-York,
taking out 93 passengors.
It is with a regret which, wo are persuaded, will
bo shared by our readore, that wo announce tho
resignation by tho Rev. A. B. Carter, of his post
as rector of Christ Church in this city. This stop
has boon taken inconsequence of tho continued ill
ness of a portion of his family, for whom a rcsidenco
in a northern climate is doomed essential. During
a ministry, which has lasted only eight or nine
months, Mr. Carter has had tho happy fortune
which generally attends sincere and assideous la
bor whon guided by prudence, discretion, and sound
judgement. He has increased the numbore of his
congregation, extended tho circle of their over ac-
tivo, efficient, and healthy influcnco, and attached
to himself, by enduring tics, not only his own flock,
but tho community at largo, in which ho has moved.
Wo are sure that our citizens generally will join us
in wishing Mr. Carter a safe return to his iamily,
and a career of constant success and prosperity.
Blackwood's Magaxine.—Tho July number of
this popular periodical has been received and laid
on the round-table of our Reading-Room. This
number, and tho last numbers of tho North British,
Westminster, Edinburg and London Quarterly Re
views, commence new volumes. Now, therefore,
is tho timo to subscribe. Blackwood is $3 a year.
Tho three lloviows $10. Col. Williams is agent
for this city.
Tho Editors of tho Republican receive from al
most all,quarters of tho United States an incrcdiblo
number of magazines, pamphlet reports, &c. Wo
havo not noticed a great many of these, though
Bomo of thorn have the most decided merit, because
their numbers havo becomo quito too oppressive.—
Thoy occupy Bpace without either benofitting us or
our readers.
Among thoso very useful publications to which
wo would refer our readere are tho Banker 1 s Maga
xine, an admirably monthly, periodical monthly
by Crosby, Nichols Ac. Co., at Boston, Maas., at
fivo dollars por annum, and Appleton's Mechan
ici Magazine, published at New-York monthly at
$3 per annum, by D. Appleton & Company. The
lost numbers of theso two publications, which wo
have selected from tho mass, may bo seen on the
round-tablo of tho Savannah Reading-Room. Wo
havo placed them there in order to rccomrind
them to all concerned.
Kossuth and Progressive Intervention.
There aro some philosophers whose desciples
follow them blindly into all imaginable extrava
gancies. One of theso lucky follows is “Philoso
pher Greeley” of tho Tribune. This man, whoso
philosophical principles consist in pandering to all
tho bad passions and wayward impulses of tho
times, keeps tho catechumens of his universal so
cialist church up Ito the mark of full and implicit
faith, by specimens of mock humility and crocodile
pretensions which aro admirablo.
Ho has latoly drawn a picture, in opposing the
increase of salaries of our Ambassadors and diplo
matic agents, which has every appearanco of being
sincere, though no ono knows better than ho that
ho ia making fools of his readere. He soon looks
for tho timo, for example, when our Minister in
London, will dress with'Quaker simplicity, livo in
a retired part of the city, and save something out of
a salary of $9000 a year. This is a chapter on Re
publican simplicity and economy. In the very next
paper, however, in noticing tho departure of Kos
suth, ho says, spooking of that foreigner’s recom
mendations os to our national policy—
"Ho proposed nothing less thau to change ideas
Republic, and confirmed by long habit and tho
stringent suggestions of supposed interest. Let them
who will, accuse him of arrogance for conceiving so
difficult an apostolate. Let them condemn as lolly
and presumption this attempt to tench us anything
more than we know before by the dead tradition ol
tho fathers. Wo, on the other hand, rather see
reason to admire tho courage, tho strength of will,
and tho self-rolianace which lor tho. welfare not of
ono beloved country alone, but of many countries,
and, indeed, of all, could calmly lay hold of so
stuiwndous an undertaking. We know nothing in
history to be compared with it. n
Ia other words, ho would waste blood enough in
i.y quarrels with foreign monarchies that do not con-
:cem us, to redden tho waves of tho Atlantic, and
squander more treasures than California can pro
duce. It would keep ono writer incessantly occu
pied, to detect and expose all tho absurdity and
humbug of Greeley. And yet this saddest of all
specimens of timo-servere finds followers who aro
os devoted to him os over wero tho followers of
Jos Miller. Tho greater his eccentricities and
absurdities, tho bettor for him, for ho constantly
widens tho circlo of his admirers. All classes find
something tp please them, and the flattery bestowed
upon each sect induces tho desciples of that Beet to
overlook tho flights which ho makes in othor di
rections. Heaven save tho Republic from all such
“philosophy^
Which Shall Be Swallowed ?—A war scorns
to bo browing in the interior of tills Stato between
the frionds of Gen. Scott and Mr. Webster. Tho
Webetormcn hold their convention in Macon, tho
17th of August, and the Scott men on the 18th.—
Tho former socm to be desirous of tolling off tho
latter into the support of tho Great Defender, while
the latter appear to be equally determined not to be
thus tolled off, and if possible, to absorb tho Wob-
stor men. The question is, who shall bo swallow
ed—tho Webster men by tho Scott men, or tho
Scott men by tho Webster men 1
Wo cannot protend to answer tho question. Tho
friends of Gen. Soott aro tho most active and de
termined—the friends of Mr. Webster Bay they
are the* most nomorous. Tho former will proba
bly maintain thoir ground, while tho lattor, if thoy
do not makb a nomination of thoir own, will divide
off thus: a portion will support tho Union ticket
for Pierce and Kmo—anothor portion will cast
thoir votes for Gen. Scow—and a tliird will stand
aloof and take no part in tho olection.
Whatever bo the action of the two conventions
at v Macon, wo aro likely to havo what tho Now
York Herald would call a scrub race in Georgia.

SAVANNAH, JULY 19,1852.
Gentlemen:—'Your lottorof the 17th inst.Tin-
forming mo of my nomination by tho Constitutional
Union Party, os "a candidato for Elector for the
Stato at largo, to support tho election of Franklin
Pierce, of New-Hampshiro,for tho Presidency, and
William R. King, of Alabama, for tho Vice Presi
dency,” has boon rccoivod.
I accept tho nomination choorfully and grateful
ly, and assure you that I shall not fail, by all hon
orable moans in ray power, to promoto tho interest
and to socuro tho succoss of tho party.
Tho little scrvico inpublie affaire which circum
stances havo permitted mo to offer, has boon ren
dered in tho causo of tho Convention of 1850 and
of tho Constitutional Union Party. Moments havo
been snatched from a laborious privato life, in
which I havo raised my fooblo voice in tho causo of
tho Union of our beloved country, and against ultra
and uncompromising men both of tho South and
North.
I rejoice that tho organization of our party con
tinues unaltered. At its origin it had, not only the
approbation of my judgement, but my wholo heart,
and it appears to mo that thoro is as great proprie
ty and necessity for its oxistonco now as ever.
It is to bo regretted that some of our membors
withdrew from tho lato Convention. Thoy wore
placed in circumstances (amidst tho warmth of fool
ing and manly debate so characteristic of our peo
ple, and necessity for rapid decision) not well cal
culated to permit them to form a deliberate judg
ment. Timo and opportunity will occur for a calm
retrospect of tho acts of tho Convention, and it is
hoped and beiioved that thoy will again unite with
us. Thoy cannot find a congenial resting place
under tho banner of tho Whig nominee, for not nil
the military servico and renown.ncknowledffed and
supcr-aoundantly repaid by tho gratitude of tho poo-
plo, can ovor ovorahadow tho manifest inaptitude of
tho illustrious General for command ia civil lifo, or
tho danger of elevating to power tho associates and
promoters of his candidacy.
They cannot feel that they aro likoly to rondor
any acceptable scrvico to thoir country and especial
ly to tho South, by tho advocacy of a third ticket.
The code of political honor, albeit it may be found
in Conventions unsuited to the liberty of n freo peo
ple, forbids tho illustrious Statesman whoso namo
they suggest, to run os a candidato for tho office of
President.
May wo not, then, expect our frionds, actuated as
wo know they are, by patriotic considerations, and
unwilling, as wo feel, they must be to surrender
power and all tho genuine fruits of victory to thoso
who havo been vanquished by our party, to return
to us, and thus preserve, boyond all chance, tho as
cendancy of tho friends of tho Union and tho Com
promise.
I have the honor to bo, your fellow-citizen,
R. R. CUYLER.

The Smr Prentice.—Tho fire on board this ill-
fated vessel has boon extinguished, and sho is now
on her beam ends filled with wator. Tho injury
sustained by her is very considerable. Her tnizon
mast is gono, her cabin destroyed, and her hull bo-
riously damaged, so much so, that an experienced
shipwright, who oxnndncd it, is of opinion that tho
ship cannot bo repaired at a less cost than from
sovon to ton thousand dollars.
Tho cargo, which consists of some thirty thou
sand foot ol pitch pine lumber, and upwards of thlr-
hundred bales of cotton, is under water. Six
hundred bales of the cotton, wore purchased some
timo sinco and are insured abroad, as also is the
lumbor. Tho baianco of tho cotton, comprising
fully seven hundred bales, was purchased rocontly
and is insured in Charleston.
Mr. Webster was at Boston at tho last nccounts,
elosoued with Mr. Crampton,tho British Minister.
It is supposed thoy wore discussing tho Fishory
question.
The Cnors.—The Athens Banner says this will
probably bo tho most bountilul year ovor witnessed
in Georgia. Tho wheat and oat crops are already
in, and havo proved to be very abundant, particu
larly tho lattor.
Indian com has scarcely suffered for n rain a
ringlo day, and tho plentiful rains of last week havo
insured a largo supply. Should tho cotton crop
provo equally good, and tho plantora got tho pres
ent prices, this will bo tho most extraordinary aud
prosperous year in our annals.
Early Cotton.—Tho Now Orleans Picayune
has been shown n sample of cotton picked on tho
4th inst., on the plantation of Dr. Robert Peebles,
in DoWitt county, Texas.
Incheasr of Mortality in New-York.—Tho
deaths last week, in tho city of Now-York, num
bered 466, being 134 more than thoso of tho woek
previous. There was a largo increase in cholo-
ra infantum; 39 died from consumption, 44 from
convulsions, 39 from dropsy, 82 from cholera in
fantum^ from dysentery, 21 from fevers, and tho
residue from other diseases and causes; 171 were
children under ono year. 350 wero natives of tho
United States, 68 of Ireland, 9 of England, 5 of
Scotland, 2 of Woles, 24 of Germany, 1 of Switzer
land, 1 of Prussia, and 6 unknown.
It is rumored that Mr. Postmnster Hall is to bo
appointed to tho Judgeship of tho U. 8. District
Court for tho Northern District of Now-York, in
placo of Judgo Conklin, who is to go to Mexico as
Minister.
• [COMMUNICATED.] .
Jlfessr*. Editors.'—A “Whig” says-"I havo
boou forced, to admit,” &o. This admission is in
my first communication, and I was not aware un
til informed by" A Whig,” that As had forced mo
,to writo that nrticlo.
“ A Whig” says “ abstract opinions is a poor sub-
torfugo.” Either 1 don’t understand tho_word sub
terfuge, or your correspondent does not. My first
commnnication was aa to tho abstract opinions of
Gon. 1’iorco; I did not resort to it afterwards, to
avoid tho argument ef your correspondent. Tho
point in issiio is nofwholhcrGcn. 1’iorco is pledged,
but what aro his oiajnicf opinions. Upon this
subject two witnesses hro put upon tho stand—
their testimony is negative against two whoso tes
timony Is positive. Your correspondent, I pro-
sumo, knows tho rulo on litis subject. Tho positivo
testimony of ono witnesi will outweigh tho noga-
tivo testimony of many witnesses. But ono of tho
witnesses says, “ both raiorts arc evidently written
bythosamo individual, which accounts for thoir
closo similarity.” Nowhow is it ovidont that both
reports wore written by flto snino individual 1 Be
cause of thoir “ close Biiulnrity.'’ But tho prima
facie caso is, that tho rejorts were written by differ
ent individuals, and tlcir similarity proves thoir
truth. To avoid this roult, tho premiso must bo
sot usido by proof. Inst lad of doing this, howovor,
*' A Whig” adopts tho argument, not tho testimony,
of this witness; and to make that argument, tho
witness is compelled tijinsert tho true order ol tho
facts. Ho makes tho conclusion tho promiso—tho
two reports nro closolt similar—therefore thoy
enmo from tho samo Flurco. But as tho matter
now stands, this is not tic cose mndo. That theso
two reports are from diicrent sources is a fact in
the cause until sot asiio by proof. And if from
different sources, thoir/itnilnrity proves thoir truth.

NEtV-YORK, JULY 22d, 1852.
Our city wears a dull aspect, os usual at this po-
riod of tho year. Everybody but tho “cant-get
away club,” to which your humble correspondent
belongs, is away among tho green fields, tho lakes
or tho sea-shore. Tho enticements of nature as
sert for a few weeks their charms, and business,
with unrelaxing claims and ceaseless energy, sub
sides, for a brief space, into comparative repose.—
although there is a "masterly inactivity” relating to
business just now, an unusually brisk trade is anti
cipated during the ensuing season. It is generally
admitted that tho financial affairs wero never in. a
more prosperous condition; confidence is at a high
grade; money abundant and cheap, and public and
private enterprise stimulated to action as soon as
tho proper timo shall arrivo.
The controversy between our Eastern neighbors
and the British Government, in relation to the fish
eries in tho waters of tho British Provinces, has
been tho most exciting topic for discussion since
ray last. From tho prompt mnnner in which Mr.
Webster met tho English Minister, there is little
doubt that tho absurdity of tho British construction
will be demonstrated and their pretensions resisted.
There is probably no mnn who understands tho
•uhiect better than Mr. Webster, mul it the admin
istration shall back his endeavours, tho difficulties
may Bo terminated very shortly. Tho press and
tho people of New England, havo but ono voice in
the matter, and that is tho denunciation against
theso agressions of "John Bull.” From tho days
of American Independence our claim to theso
fishing rights has never been yielded, and there is
not much fear that they will bo, at this lato day.—
England will probably, on reflection, withdraw her
naval forco and stop her seizures, if not, conse
quences may follow that Bbo will hereafter regret.—
She holds her provinces by n brittlo thread, that
in an unguarded moment may bo snapped asunder.
" It is an ill wind that blows nobody good,” ac
cording to tho old proverb, which will apply very
well to the fishing controversy, for sinco the agita
tion commenced, tho pries of fish has gono up hero
materially. No. 1 Mackerel, that could be bought
for $9.50 a $10, a week ago, are now in demand at
$11 a $11.50, and Cod in proportion.

WOMEN’S VOWS.
Like sweet dreams on cheerless pillow
Which shall never come to pass.
Like n bubble on a billow,
Or a legend upon glass—
Like fair tracery lu snow
Which tho first sun melts away,
Or tho lights that como and go
With tho dancing water’s play—
Liko a sparkle on the brim
Of a cup of perfect love,
Orshortsualcbesofa hymn
Faintly borne us from above;
Like a namo writ In the sand
To evanish with the tldo,
The short grasp of friendship’s band,
Or the Oral blush of a bride—
Like a lear upon a wave,
Or a cloud In summer’s sky;
Like n violet oil o grave,
Soon to fall, and fade, and die—
Like to everything that’s folsc,
Or like anything that’s fulr,
As—the pleasure of a waltz,
Or—a castle In the air,

Aro the promises they make,
Made alas! hut to lie broken,
broken oft, as soon ns spoken!

The Pibatical Capture of the Schooner
Queen of the West.—Wo havo already noticed
the capture of the schooner Queen of the West, of
Dartmounth, Mass., and tho massacre of her entire
crow, by a gang of tortoise hunters, on tho eastern
coast of Madagascar. Tho Queen of tho West was
In pursuit of tortoise shell a few leagues from Capo

and 1,400 francs, with silver bracelets and somo tor-
toiso shell, stolen from tho vessel recovered. Tho
murderers aro to be brought to tho United States
for trial.
A Cool Place.—Boston papers of Monday nro
complaining of tho cold. Tho temperature that
morning, nt sunrise, was 45 degrees. Tho air was
so cold that moisture condensed on tho insido of
chamber windows which wore closed. This is
July. Lucky Boston.
The British Fisheries.—Capt. Rogers, of tho
American schooner Magdalen, recently arrested by
the British, for infringing on their fisheries, was
tried and convicted of robbing tho nets, but subse
quently made his escape and reached his vessel in
safety.
Tho Halifax papers give tho list of British ves
sels of war which ore to be employed for tho pro
tection of the fisheries. Thoy number nineteen
vessels, carrying upwards of onp hundred nnd thir
ty guns. A pretty formidable naval forco to bo
brought against fishing smacks.
The Eastern Steam Navigation Company of
London have proposed a plan to their shareholders
for building two steamships, 700 feet long, of 14,000
tons burden, oach vessel to havo two sets of noddle
wheels and a screw propeller, of an aggregate pow
er of 3,000 horsca. Theso vessels are to run from
Milford Haven to Alexandria, and from Suoz to
Calcutta. Theso ships it is expected will go nt tho
rate of thirty miles an hour, and aro to cost £350,-

teen of tho insurgents of December to tho guilbti]
Tho Paris correspondent of tho London News
that the sentence has produced a sensation of pro
found horror. Judgment having gono by default
against eix of tho accused, tho number of heads
doomed to fall in tho public placo of Bednrioux,
tho scene of thoir crimes, is eloven. Tho offence
for which these men havo been condemned to death
is tho murder of threo gendarmes. Thus military
justico makes a shambles of a French town to pub
lish a crime which was the immediate conscquonco
of tho coup d’etat of December, and tho lives of
eloven men nro to bo taken in cold blood for tho
acts of violence which, however atrocious, were
committed in tho strilo of civil war. It is stated,
however, that in tho ministry ol justico there is pre
paring a decree of amnesty, which, it is thought,
will bo promulgated on the fete of tho 15th of
August.
Foreign Commerce of Shanghae.—From official
sources wo learn that during tho year ending 31st
December, 1851, the total valuo of tho exports from
Shanghae, China, to foreign countries was £3,932,-
366 sterling—of which merchandise to tho value of
£2,600,690 was exported in 94 British vessels; £1,-
163/183 in 53 American vessels, and tho remainder,
£177,793, in tho vcaselsof all other nntions. 18,108
bales of raw silk wore exported, worth £1,601,185,
and 54,233,865 pounds of tea, worth £2,174,426.—
Of tho tea, 31,809,032 pounds were exported to Great
Britain; 19,920,300 pounds to tho United States, and
2,504,833 pounds to all other countries. The esti
mated valuo of the imports during tho samo timo
was £1,772,082, of which tho proportion brought
from Groat Britain was £1,379,036, in 71 vessels;
from tho United States £304,248, in 54 American
vessels, and from all other countries £88,798 in 15
vessels. The principal article of import was cotton
goods, tho value of which was £1,165,993. We
find the United States not only competed success
fully with the British manufacturer in tho articles of
"drillings, sheetings and jeans,” but entirely drovo
tho British labrics out of the market. While we
oxported to Shnnghao 75,478 pieces of sheetings
and 27/218 pieces of jeans—tho British did not send
a piece. In drillings our exports wero 215,586 pieces.

In tho eleventh century, t question nroso also in
Spnin, which of two kinds of ritual should bo used

which remained untouched.
In order to curb tho privato wars which wore so

of a small island off tho coast of Europe, is now
spoken by tho greater part of tho inhabitants of the
Western Continent, and is fast spreading through
tho countries of the East. Upon tho Pacific, where
twenty yenre ago it was scarcely over heard, it is
destined to bocotne the prevailing language. Even
among nations speakinga different tongue, it every
where finds a foothold, and a press is established to
answer the requirements of thoso whoso mother
tongue it is. There is a paper publisod in English
in Buenos Ayres—oho in Valparaiso—threo in Pa
nama-two in tho Sandwich Islands—ono in tho
Foqjoo Islands—a multitudo in Australia and Van
Dieman’s Land—a number in New Zealand—three
in Hongkong—ono in Shanghae. How many in
British India wo cannot exactly say, but in tho
Eastern exchanges wo frequently meet with tho
nomos of tho Bengal Hurkaru, the Madras Spec
tator, Madras Crescent, Singapore Free Preee,
Straits' Times, Bombay Times, &. Aca. When,
in addition, wo tako into consideration tho num
ber of papors published In California and Oregon,
it will be seen, that every shore, and almost every
island of conscquonco of tho Pacific, supports an
English press, road by pooplo speaking tho English
languago. No other language hno exhibited the
same expanaivo and progressive power. With tho ex*
ccption of tho Spanish, which has censed to spread,
there is not another Europoun tonguo spoken out
side tho limits of tho country in whicli it took its
rise. Besides a French journal published in Moxi-
co, -thoro is not a press other than in English#
printed in any country washed by the Pacific or
Indian oceans. Should tho utopian idoa, conceived
by somo of tho schoolmen, of a universal languago
ovor bo realized,that language will unquestionably
bo tho English.
Fisu and Fighting.—Newburyport hoa its spirit
up. It considers tho attack upon tho Yankee fish
ermen a scaly pioco of business on tho part of Mr.
Bull’s subjects, and "fish or fight” is its motto. Tho
Union, of that town, after depicting tho injury to
tho business of that place, which will follow tho
order of tho British authorities, says
"Why our government has bo long neglected this
matter, or why thoy do not now nt onco maintain
thoir rights, is a myslcry. -For years vessels havo
been seized nnd plundered, and tho facts have been
known to the wholo country, but whilo the nation
would set all their hounds to pursuo one poor ne
gro to tho borders of Cnnadn, thoy havo been as
mum ns tho grave overBuch insults and aggressions.
For fishermen to attempt resist English frigates, that
could blow a wholo fishing fleet to pieces in a half
hour, worn folly: thnonly rcliuncotho fishcrinon can
have is on the Government, and thoy should thun
der at its doors in Washington, and start their
Senators and Representatives to action, till tho
whole country is nlarmod. A wur with England is
not an event to be desired, but should it over como,
wo shall hear no more of British lines, real or con
structive, on this continent. There are English
provinces enough to make a dozen very fine States."
An Example to Duellists.—Tho London Times
gives a report of a trial boforo tho Court of Com
mon Pleas in that city, of a suit brought by Captain
Naas, a distinguished officer in tho British Navy,
at tho timo in command or a hundred nnd twonty
gun ship, lying nt Davenport, against another cap
tain, for nn injury which it has boon usual to appeal
to tho “ codo of honor” to redress. Tho fucts wore
briefly as follows:
Captain Naas is n member of tho Senior United
Servico Club, to which society. Captain Scott, of
the royal navy, also belongs. Captain Nans had
proposed an ollicer as a member of tho club, who
when tho olection como on was binck-ballcd. Tho
subiuct naturally canto under discussion in tho
club, and Cnptam Scott had some conversation up
on tho mutter, among others, with General M’Don-
nid. In tho course of this conversation, Cnptain
Scott said that tho black-balling "uroso entirely
from tho unpopularity of Captain Nans in the navy,
nnd also that there was a blemish attached to his
character from his not having obeyed in China tho
signal made to him to como into action.” /*
Tho speech was repeuted by General M’Donald
to Captain Cunpago; from him it passed to Captain
Baynes; nnd ho, very properly, informed Captain
Naasol it. This gentleman, greatly aggriovod, as
ho no doubt was, quietly invited his assailant to
make good tho truth of his words before a court of
law. Before tho united testimony of Sir Thomas
Herbert, who had tho command ol tho squadron on
tho day and at tho plnco in question, und of Sir
Thomas Maitland, who was then Flag-Captain of
tho Wellesley, tho chargo utterly broke down.
Tho Times, commenting upon tho report, says:
" There was not tho faintest shadow of founda
tion for tho lortfble imputation of cowardice against
Captain Naas; and nn apology sufficient to satisfy
tho most punctilious honor wus extorted from tho
defendant. This apology ought, indeed, to havo
been frooly tendered. Tno explanations given by
Sir Thomas Herbert nnd Sir Thomiis Maitland had
cut uway every pretext for sustaining the chargo.
It should havo been the first leeiing of a gcntlo-
mnn—of a man sensitive about hia own honor, to
regret Uiat ho had, in an unguarded moment, given
causo of offonce to another without any reasonable
causo. It was a paltry shift to withdraw tho im
putation, and to endeavor to esenpo without a fair
and handsome expression of regret But, os it was,
a complete withdrawal of tho imputation was ob
tained—a result infinitely more satisfactory thun
tiio bald announcement that a brnco of pistols had
been harmlessly discharged, und that therefore tho
‘ honor* of tho parties wqb established.
“ Tho conduct of Captain Naas affords a sound
example to all aspiring legislators, linendrapore,
and others who may bo inclined to tako tho law
into thoir own hnnds. English society indebted
to Cnptain Nans for sotting his face against a cus
tom which was barbarous a few years back, but
now is simply snobbish.”
CmmoHES 6f the 'Candidates.—Tho Presbyter-:
ian, a religious pn|>or of high character, publishes a
letter, said to bo from tho pen of Dr. Junkin, from
which wo ascertain thoso facts:
"Genoral Scott la a^Protestant Episcopalian, and
worships nt 8t. James Church, Washington. Mr.
Graham is by birth und education a Prcsbytcriari,
though not a communicant of any church; nnd as
his *fiidy is a member of tho Baptist Church, ho
worships pnrt of tho timo at loast with that denom
ination. Gen. Piorco is by education a Congroga-
tionnlist, though not n member of tho church. Mr.
King is u Protestant Episcopalian in his proforen-
ces.
The Canadian Press on the Niagara Celebra
tion.—Tho Toronto Colonist has tho following re
marks upon tho proposed grand celebration by tho
Americans, of tho anniversary of tho battlo of
Lundy’s Lano:
"Such n demonstration can only bo regarded by
tho Canadians aa of tho moat impudent and insult
ing nnturo; and will do much to dostroy tho good
fooling that has lately happily oxistod. Gon. Scott,
wu boiiove, has been famous os an annexation man;
but wo can assure him that ho will not find his an-
noxntionist schemes promoted by such n display ns
that which is proposed. If tho Americans do visit
us insuch n mnnner, we surely shonld not like to
guarantee their safety. Wo warn them, that sucli
n visit will nrouso u spirit which thoy do not appear
to anticipate; and, it is possible, they might huvo to
quit Lundy's Lano in n very undignified mnnnor, as
they did onco boforo, notwithstanding that General
Scott, nnd tho ‘old warriors,’ might again bo with
thorn."
Tho Colonist makes itsolf, nnd its friends, ridic
ulous. It shows an unusual dogma of stupidity in
supposing for ono moment that anv mooting is
intended upon tho Cnnadinn side. Tno colobrntion
will tako placo within tho American boundary lines.
A Good Thing from Amos Kendall.—It is diffi
cult to imagine anything liko a ioko from tho sober,
steady, inattor-of-lact Amos Kendall, but a North
Carolina napor relates nn nnoedoto of him that wo
think will pass. Whilo ho was Postmaster-Gener
al, tho pooplo of ono of tho upper counties of North
Carolina petitioned for tho establishment of a now
post oflico, to bo located between two localities
called by tho odious names of “Polecat” nnd “Stink
ing Quarter." Tho applicants boing unnbio to
ogreo among themselves os to tho namo of thoir
now office, referred tlmt point to Mr. Kendall. IIo
promptly established tno offico, and called it
•‘Hartshorn.”
[Extractsfrom the Paris Correspondence of the
Washington Republic.]
Tho Chambor of Commerce of Paris latoly ap
pointed a committeo to mnko a studied inquiry into
tho morals, tho means of oxistenco. nnd tho general
habits of tho workmen of Paris living in furnished
lodgings, (garnis.) Thoir report lies boforo mo,
and from it I gnthor many interesting facts. There
are 300,000 individuals in Paris, iorming tho work
ing class—200,000 inon nnd 100,000 women. About
tho tonth part of thoso, 30,000, livo cn garni. Only
a very small portion—a proportion almost innp-
K rocinble—nro married; 12,000 out of tho 30,000
vo regularly by thoir work; 3,000 upon tho credit
allowed them for tho timo by tho landlord; 10,000
upon public chnritics, aud 5,000 tho best way thoy
can. Tho conduct of 11,000 is declared to bo good;
of 8,000* passable; of 7,000 bad, nnd of 4,000 very
bad. Journeymen mnsons, printers, shoemakers,
and tailors, aro tho most numorously-roprcsented
trades. Tho houses occupied aro 2,350 in number;
of which 922 nro set down nB docent, 953 ps passablo,
270 us bad, nnd 250 as filthy—without either light
or air, full of vermin, and redolent of suilocnting
smells; 26,000 tonants stay for some months at a
time, whilo about 4,000 shift thoir dons overy two
or threo days, having especial reasons for avoiding
tho police, and therefore often putting them oil* thoir
track.
Tho garni* of Paris may bo divided into threo
classes. Tho first aro thoso kept by workmon, who
board and lodgo other workmen of thoir own pro
fession. There are five hundred such houses, or
stories of houses, occupied by threo thousand indi
viduals. Theso aro tho most exceptionable class,
nnd tho masons nro tho best bohavod of nil tho con
ditions.
Garnis lot by tho month rocoivo a very mixed
nnd therefore less respoctnblo company. Tho
credit system lias ruined mnny n landlord within a
few years. Tho lodgers rcninin on tick till thoy
havo found employment, and thon contrivo to do-
camp without paying, at tho Bamo timo making a
descent upon tho sheets.
Garnis, by tho week and the night, nro tho low
est in tho scalo. Thoy are lot at prices varying
from fifteen to two cents a night, nnd are inhabited
by brigunds nnd escaped felonB, and othor dangor-
ous occupants. Filth, drunkenness, swearing nnd
nil sorts of debauchery uro their usual characteristics.
Tho chiiibniers livo together in tho Kuo Moufletard,
in company with dogs, cats and pigs; thoy nro al
ways guy, and their own inisory is tho grand theme

An Artist’s Caprice.
^ At tho sooonrl ernnd eonoertintoly given by tho
Queen ot England nt Buckingham Palace, where
tho highest nobility of tho Innd was assembled,
und all tho royal family was present, M’llo Sophie
Cruvolli, the youngest but distinguished Gorman
E rimn donna, who is rather given to displays of
aughty caprice, made the wholo court wait for her
arrival in the concert-room lor more than an hour.
Sho was tho principal attraction of tho ovoning.
nnd tho othor artists, Lablucho, Mario, Konconi
and others, had to make out as best thoy could to
entertain the noble and royal listeners. A visiblo
embarrassment und coldness reigned in tho vast und
brilliunt hall. Such an act of boldness, so open a
breach of etiquette, towards a sovereign too, had
never boforo beon heard of sinco tho dny when tho
Grand Monarque. Louis XIV., suid to a courtier
who hud detained him for a momont, and said it
before tho whole court with freozing glunco aud
pulverizing mien, "J’ai failli attenare." “I wus
almost kept wuiting.”
Such a defiance of royal ordors would havo hnrd-
ly been pardoned in tho Iron Duko himself; but in
un artist—nnd it is well known what nn imtneus-
urnblo distance tho haughty English aristocracy
places botweon itself nnd oven tho urightest aristo
cracy of talent—in n paid and invited artist, it was
an offence boyond forgiveness: "it smelt rank to
heaven"—that is to the nobility’s heaven. And
wlmt made the matter worso was that tho delin
quent urimu donna had Bent no oxcuso, no explana
tion of her absence. Sho wus not oven seized with
that common and convenient complaint of singers
and actors, "a sudden indisposition.”
Imagino then tho general ustonishmont, whon tho
folding-doors of tho snlooon opened suddenly, nnd
tho loveried official announced M’llo Cruvollj!—
Every nristocrntic head forgot its dignity so far as
to turn round with surnriso at this announcement:
and ribbons, feathers, laces fluttered and trembled
with indignation at tho impudcnco of tho foreign
singor. It was under sho concentrated guzo of hun
dreds of cold, piorcing oyes, and in a dead silcnco
thnt the young prima dona walked slowly up tho
long saloon with as much coolness and self-posses
sion as if sho were treading tho Btage, a mimic queen
amid tinseled supernumeraries.
Tho greatest trial, however, was tho last. Closo
to tho right of tho piano,bchind which wero grouped
tho other artists, ns much astonished as any ono
ciso nt thoir comrade’s coolness, sat tho Queen,
l’rinco Albort, tho royal children, and n number of
brilliantly costumed lords and ladies in waiting.—
Every eyo in the assembly was fixed on tho artist
as, nlono, sho npproachcd this nugust nnd imposing
S oo intonso was tho sllonco, a diamond pin
havo boon hoard had it dropped. Tho pri-
ma donna lost not'an iota of hor self-possession or
ease. Sho stopped in front of tho Qucon, mndo nn
obeisance, proiound and respectful, and without
saying a word, passed on to tno piano, nnd mingled
with her fellow-artists. Tho Qucon was observed
to smile; a murmur passed Jiko a bee around tho
hall; Costa touched tho piano keys; and tho prima
donna charmod all ours with tho high, clour, pow
erful notes of her remarkable voico in Casta Diva.

Tho Journal of Commerce in nn nrticlo on tho
whereabouts of M, Vattemahe, states that ho is in
Germany pushing for tho universal introduction of
tho French* system of weights and moosurcs.—
Tho Journal wonders that wo havo not, ore ..this,
adopted tho French in placo of tho English stand
ard, and remarks:
“ The French system of weights nnd mcnsurcs
is at onco the most scientific nnd tho most simplo
that obtains in any pnrt of tho world. It wus de
vised in tho expectation that tho universal adoption
would multiply tho commercial relations or tho va
rious nations of tlm world by facilitating mercantile
transactions. Tho timo solectcd for tho organiza
tion oi tho system would seem to have boon any
thing but propitious for a great pacific achieve
ment ; for tho conception originated in 1790, whilo
Franco was intent upon a great political and social
reform, nnd was involved In a furious revolutiona
ry turmoil; but it may nevertheless havo been tho
legitimate offspring of that dream of a universal
brotherhood of peoples, so fondly cherished by tho
speculative minus of those days and of our own ;
ior tho commercial intercourse of nations begets a
community of interests proportioned to its oxtent,
and thus tends to promoto international amity aud
human advancement. In 1790 tho Academy of
Science, after amplo discussion by somo of tho
proloundcst thinkers and most learned men of tho
age, proposed a decimal system of weights and
measures, and tliis was adopted by tho government,
'i lie french system of moasureshus for its standard
the length of a quadrant of tho earth’s ineridinn.
Tito unit of measures of length is tho ton-millionth
part of the quadrant. Tho details of tho system
wero perfected by an international commission,
composed of tho most illustrious savans of Franco,
Spain, Switzerland and Ilalv. Its adoption has
boon of gradual, progress in Eurono, but not more
so than was to be oxpectod, considering that it pro
posed to supersede systems that had boon in voguo
lbr centuries, to which tho habits nnd opinions of
jHioplo had thoroughly conformed themselves; and
it is tiio Inw.nt tills day in Belgium, Franco;Ureoco,
Holland, Folaud, Bptua and bwitzcrlund.”
