It will be remembered that the Union Contention o this State, during the paat apring, adopted a reaolutlon complimentary to Mr. Fillmorr and Inviting him to vlalt Georgia. He replied, and expressed hla desire to pass through Georgia qp his return home from Washington, after the 4th or March next, though he could not say , positively that he would take the southern and western "’itappeara that the poople of Alabama are taking some action on the autyoct, and a disposition is manifested to Invite Mr. Fillmorr to visit that 8tate. Reference Is tnadd to his probable visit to Georgia, and the occasion la viewed as a sultahle ono to Invite him to Alabama , also, v * • W. tnut Uml uol only lb. lumpl. of Ooor«U tod Ala. bama, but of Ibooholo min, #111 bore lho r.tllle.Uoo of scolng Mr. Fillmorr among them on his return to Buffalo. A warm and cordial welcome awaits him from men of all parties, should he ffnd It convenient to vlalt us. No roan who has filled the Presidential office for - the Inst half century, bad a stronger hold upon tho confi dence and respect or tho people generally than Mr. Fill- : morr now et\]oya. To be convinced of this, one need ! only travel through tho rural districts of the Southern States. Indeed, it is impossible to appreciate the won derful popularity of the President, without going Into the country and mingling freely with people. ' True, there are men enough who differ from him on aome points of his administration, sflll he Is everywhere regarded as an honest man and a courageous officer, who has In all things sought to do his duty. lie has not merely discharged the functions of the Executive office with tho most commendable propriety and rectitude, but in doing so, he has displayed moral courage, dignity, ' talent, and determined resolution, equal to every emer gency. Tho administration of such a man la to be viewed as nothing leas than a Heaven-scut blessing. * May he hereafter be called back to the office which he has so highly adorned; at all events, may he have many Imitators who, like him, will take care to conduct this vast machinery of government upon the true constltu- ioual basis. We repeat, the people of the 8outb will bo glad to Mr. Fillmorr among them. He has entitled himself to * lielr warmest gratitude and their most heartfelt saluta tions. They feel grateful to him, not that he has shown any favoritism to their section of the country, but because ho has had the manly Independence to mete out Justice with an equal hand to every portion of the confederacy. Our poople know how to appreciate a wise and impartial administration, such as his has been, and they will prove it by the respectful courtesies which they will be sure to extend to him when be cornea amongst us.

(Cheers.) nattompt has been made In the Lower House to anti- dpato discussion by a resolution to which no member of the government can agree, but U would be well if those who wore about to support tho motion would consider, not so much how to overthrow the government, but how they could form an admlulstiatlon If It were overthrown. (Cheers.) On Tuesday evening Mr. Vlller*R motion was opprobrl- oualy reforred to by tho Earl or Derby In tbo Lords while at tbo Commons It waa undor debate. Mr. Vlllera de clared he had brought forward hla motion for tho pur- poae of placing on record an unmistakable declaration on the subject or trade, that men of busln se and tho world might comprehend the final decision of England on this alT-important question. Mr. DlsraeU In moving his amendment Ingeniously persisted In resolving Mr. Vlllera’ motion Into an inquiry whether the government bad fulfilled Its pledges since It came Into power,—following out thlavlew he inalntaluod that the Derby administration waa or necessity, one of compromise and conciliation. The office was thrust upon them when the former Cabinet fell to pieces from Internal discord, and they aoceded to power by no motion con nected with protection, consequently they violated no pledge by retainlug office with a House opposed to pro tection ; and further, from tho beginning they never did Intend to repeal any of the measures of the Free Trade acta. Mr. Bright replied at length in a speech, chiefly no ticeable for the following passage:— If the House maintained Mr. Vlllera’ motion, tbo Uni ted 8tatea, where a Free Trade President had just been returned by an overwhelmlhg majority, ought to know it [Hear.) In the United States protection waa In the same helpless condition U was In thla country, and and though well beat hi, the supporters or that cause ■HU cling by It as In this country. [Laughter and cboers.] But, when President Pierce In March uoxt comes Into power, they might look forward to the reciprocity just now so much talked about hero; therefore let them put on the books of the House a resolution nobody could mistake.” Lord Palmerston skillfully smoothed over the asperi ties of both speeches, and suggested, but did not formally submit, sotne verbal amendments. Tbe debate waa then adjourned. Next day it was resumed by 8lr James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Cobden and others, and resulted In the with drawal of Mr. Disraeli’s amendment, and the offering of the following by Lord Palmerston:— It Is the opinion of thla Houso that the Improved con dition or tho country aud eepecially of tho tnduatrioua classes is malnlythe result of the recent legislation, which has established the principle of unrestricted competition and abolished tbe taxes Imposed for the purpose or pro tection.

Pension Office Report.—By the Pension Office Report, It appear# that the whole number or Pen sions In the United States, la 18£G8, which Is leu by 743 Umn one year ago. Abont *1,500,000 have been expended on account of pensions during the year. The expense of the system la not much changed, and the Commissioner thinks it wlU not be materiaBy,' until the corrective band of leglalaUdn Is applied to some of ita abuse*. Fraud is eapedaUy at home In the prosecution or claims upon this office; and for the lack or clearer Instructions, many for whom.thftM beneficent provisions were originally inten ded, suffer their entire loss. Very rreqnoui linjxmhitTn* were practiced on the government for invalid Nary Pen sions. Tho neceuity or such legislation as may remedy these cvlls^ the Commluloner briefly urges. Cotton Statistics.—A considerable apace In tbe United States Census Report, is devoted to thla staple, but wo bare only room for tbe foUowIng Interesting Acta:— • The earliest record of sending cotton from this country to Europe, la In the table of exports from Charleston, in 174V—43, when seven begs were shipped; tbe next p$r- cel, conslaUng of 2,000 pounds, waa shipped in 1770; and s third shipment of seventy-one bags were made In 1784, which England seized, on tbo ground that America coukl not produce a quantity bo great. Tbe amount exported from the United States in 1791, was 189,310 pounds; In 1793, 487vQ00 pounds; In 1794, 1,001,700 pounds; In 1705, 0,276,300 pounds; in 1800,17,089,603 pounds; In 1810,03^301,409 pound*; In 183M1,124,893,405 pound* J in I89P91, 27fl.«0.TO4 pounds; In 530,204,100 pound*; In'l850-’51,997,337,080 pounda. According to tbe cenius returns of 1840, the amount cultivated was 700,479,973 pounds; of 1850,087,449,(100 pounds, showing an luciwo or 190,070,325 pounds. It appears that tho culture or cotton la rapidly dlmtn- Jibing In Virginia and North Carolina. In thoao Biale*, It |s doubtless giving plflco to other productloni or iho soil.

In point or style and general arrangement, It justifies Ita authorship, and lu these re specie, excels most of Its predecessors: Tbe naral force In actual service Is divided Into six squadrons, assigned respectively to the East Indies—the Pacific Ocean—the Coast or Africa—tho Coast of Brazil— tho Mediterranean and the Coast of tbe United 8tates. Tbe health of the officers and men on tho African Coast been generally good throughout the year, but doubt xpressed whether tbe further continuance or the idroti on the coast wlU prove of material advantage, slave traffic is represented to be nearly abandoned. In tbo Mediterranean a permenent arrangement baa been made with the Sardinian Government for tbo accommo- any these principles, which, In pursuance of Her Majesty’s speech made before them, may be offered by Her Majes ty’s ministers. . The debate waa further adjourned until Friday, when after another lengthened debate and n pro-forma division, tbe House sgalu divided on the ameudmont of Lord Palmeratou when the numbers were—for the amendment 408, against it 53. Majority for the amendment 415. The House then afijournod. ition. He did not know wnatwaa er being written un;ess It resulted rhlch occurred to the American Go- d of the Presidential election. He must refuse to produce the papers In tbo present-pecu liar state of the negotiation; but ha assured the House dation of our ship* at Bpezzla. A very dear and forcible exposition Is given of the objects and tbe plan of the Japan and the Pacific Expeditions; tbo views presented, we doubt not, wlU commend themselves to tbe approba tion of tbe country. Details are alao presented concern ing the expedition to Central Africa, under Commander Lynch, ana to the tributaries of the La Plata, under Lieutenant Page. The energy which the Department exhibits In planning and carrying forward these four ex peditions la worthy of *11 praise. Tbe co-operation of Congress with Mr. Henry Grinnell and George Peabody, In the new expedition which la about to be organized under the auspices of these gentlemen, is earnestly so licited. A reorganization or the Naval Academy.at Annapolis In several important particulars la recommend ed. assimilating It more to the Military Academy at West Point. A plan Is also submitted, designed to improve tbe character of the seamen of the Navy and to promote a higher state of discipline. A forcible argument Is made in favor of increasing tbe force of the Navy, and, as an illustration or ita necessity, U la stated that at this mo ment the Government Is without a public steamship on the Pacific ocean, and that our extensive commerce along the western coast, from Oregon to Chill, Is under the R rotection or only two frigates and two sloopa-of-war. e invites Congress with the most earnest solicitation to provido for tbe building of three firaLdasa screw propell er frigate* and three propeller sloops-of-war. He also advises the addition or at least 1500 seamen to tbe pre sent number, which Is 7500, and an augmentation of the murine corn*. A system of retirement of old officers under fractional pay Is recommended, and tbe views of the but Secretary In favor of recognizing tbe office of Commodore and creating two offices of the rank or rear- admiral are concurred In. The estimates for the sui of tbe Nary for tbe next fiscal year ar which the sura or *4.030,921 is for sped total amount drawn from the Treasury for tbe fiscal year of J 111,0 ,ut WM *8.013,132, or which *2,050,060, leaving aa the true expenditure for the sup port ol tiie Navy *0^251,051. Though Mr. Kennedy has boen in office but for a brief period, be has proved bim- adf a roost efficient Head of the Department, aud this able Report reflects upon him high credit. Webster and Demosthenes.—The December num ber of the American Whiff Review opens with an artlde from Professor Fulton, of Cambridge, on Daniel Web- iter. It la written with flno scholarly taste and great ability. The following comparison belwee Mr. Webster ind tbe great statesmen or antiquity, la striking:— “ If we compare Mr. Webster wllh tho great statesmen of antiquity, we shall find many points lu common be tween him and Cicero and Demosthenes. He had, how ever, more force and originality than the former, and more varied culture than the latter. To our apprehen sion, he more resembled Demosthenes than any other modern orator. Demosthenes began his career in nar row circumstances: he nevertheless bad the liberal edu cation ora geulleroan, but he had to earn his bread by ad* dressing the understanding of common men—too Dicasta of the Athenian courts. He overcame the physical weak ness of hla youth by healthy ezaroises. lie waa pro foundly versed in the law, and prepared himself by ar- gulug civil cases for bis great career as an orator and a statesman. One of his earliest triumphs wus a De fence of Veeted Rights, strikingly parallel to the Dart mouth College case. On more than one occasion he saved bis countrymen, by his wisdom and eloquence, from a foreign war; he pronounced an eulogy upon those who had died lu tbe service of their country. But the most splendid exhibition* of hla genius were tho great orationa ha delivered on The Union of the Greeks, in the conflicts with Philip, and hla defence of his policy In Iho oration on the Crown, which Mr. Everett Justly compares to the reply to Ilnyne. He traversed tbe Greclnn Stales, everywhere addressing admiring multi tude*, and Union, unienl waa the burthen of his ma jestic discourse. But enemies rallied against him. Ills private lire was calumniated; be was charged wllh sen suality and llccntlousuesa, wllh wasteful extravagance, with corruption and bribery, wllh having been bought •hr ssuait,nsniot. Hut be answered hl« antagonists, and they vanished from tho- political stage, ilia <i«jswere saddened by tbe death or a beloved daughter, but he for got hi* privato woes In the service of his oounlry. At one moment, an Inflamed public opinion banished him from the Ucraa, the sceue or his fame: and, retiring to tbe sea-shore or the neighboring jEglna, be consoled him self by gazing over tbe blue waters. But his return was a triumph snob os never bad lallen to the lot or any man before. The whole population poured out to welcome him back, “not so much as a magistrate or priest staying behind.” He died soon after, having never been Jlrchon of Athene, though be had controlled!!* foreign policy for many years. Statues were raised to bis memory; his character waa vindicated from the aspersions of hla eufr illies, who lived In history only besause the Immortality of him they slandered haa saved their names from ob livion. The purity of hla conduct in (he administration of public affiura, the ardor of his patriotism, the splendor of his genius, hare been only the more conspicuous the more his life and work* hare been studied; for every word be ever spoke breathed n single-hearted devotion to the Interests and glory of his country, and showed him (o be a friend or virtue, of honor, and of public decency. UIs language was grand, yet simple, rien, solemn; not disdaining ornament, but neverseeklng It at the sacrifice of sense; sweet and stately, aa weU as forcible. Hla ar rangement or topics waa skllftiL but natural, and the array of hla arguments, In solid phalanx, was Irresistible. It is one of the chlefest glories of republican Athena that her Institutions produced such a man; It Is a blot on the history of disunited Greece that she listened to hla words, but forgot to act upon hla counsels. May the parallel stop abort of this crowning circumstance or ruin and dla- that the most friendly spirit prevailed between the two Governments. With the exception of that ono letter, everything tended to a most satisfactory conclusion. Ho would produce thepapers aa aoon aa possible. 8trong opposition Is tasking by the shipping Interest against the grant of a charter to the new Liverpool and London Ttrans-AtlaRtie Screw Steamship Company. A deputation front BMeUiiSundarland, Liverpool, Glasgow, ' Leith, and other portal have remonstrated wllh Ute Board ’of Trade. The deputation comprised 13 members of Parliament, wllh others; among them Mostrs.

The Comraltleo or Turkish Bondholders In Lindon have resolved that the Turkish Government Is bouad for tho recent loan, and that steps be taken to enforcs tbe Bondholders’* claims.
