^ Canadian Annexation.—British Govern
ment and People in Conflict.— Tho important
dispatch from Earl Grey to the Governor Gen-
•eral of Cnnada, of which wc published a tel.
agraphic synopsis yesterday, shows that when
ever the annexation to the United States ol
Canada is attempted, the British government
will oppose it by arms and to the death. In
deed, the British government and the British
journalists appeur to take opposite views on the
annexation movement.
As showing how greatly in conflict are the
people and government on the subject, n Mon
treal correspondent of the New-York Express
writes undor datd of the 29th ult., as follown :
“Annexation is progressing rapidly.-A large
meeting was held at Rouville, on Monday laflt,
and several resolutions were passed, notwith
standing the exertions of Dr. D’Avignon loop-
pose them. Another pieeting will take place
on Monday, the 2SHh, at Nupierviile, and prep
arations are being made to have a third at
Ghumbly.
“Mr. Galt, nil annexationist, has resigned
his seat for Sherbrooke, in consequence of the
removal of the Scut of Government to Toronto.
Mr. Ross, Q. C.,(the author of the Annexation
Manifesto) is about to be solicited by the peo
ple of Sherbrooke to present himself ns a can
didate to HU this vacancy. If ho accepts the
invitation, ho will certainly he elected.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1850.

“Our Solicitor General, Mr. Drummond, an
nounced to the members of the bar, ut a pub
lie dinner, a few days ago, that the modification
of the laws ofCunada, similar to that of Louisi
ana, had long occupied his serious attention.
“A gentleman from Missiquoi—who is a
great disliker of Republican institutions—con
fessed to me, this morning, that hebeli wed that
n majority in every constituency in the town
ships were in Favor of annexation, with the ex
ception of Missisquoi; and events which have al
ready takon place, lend mo to think, that ere
lone, she also will follow in the same track.”
The Montreal Herald publishes another dis
patch from Earl Grey, approving of the removal
of the seat of government to Toronto, and the
dismissal of the millitin and officers; also com
manding Lord Elgin to do all in his power to
suppress the annexation movement
Uncle Sam's Expense Book.—The “Blue
Book,” which appears every t^o years to loll
us how the public money goes, has just been
published. It contains a thousand pages, on
which are jotted down the names of 25,000
patriots, who ore content to sorve their country
for “pay and provunt.” Compared with the
items of the British civil list, the amounts set
down in this book are mere bagatelles; yet the
current expenses of the various departments
of the government form, in the aggregate, quite
a formidable sum—formidable at least, in the
estimation of the sticklers for cheap govern
ment, although it wouled not suffice to pay th<
salaries of the sinecurists who are billeted
•Upon the people of England. Tho current of
fice expenses of the different departments, in
cluding the salnries of the secretaries and
clerks, auditors, attorneys, &c., are thus stated
in thp “blue list ”
Stato department, $37,170, per annum;
treasury do., $-?00 000; war, $38,500 ; navy
72,450; interior 177,000; attorney general’s
office, 6,100 > postmaster general's office, $46,-
300.
These, it must bo understood, are office ex
penses merely, nnd do not include any of the
out-door operations of tho departments, such ns
the salaries of our representatives abroad, cost
of collecting revenue, army and navy lists, post
masters, &o.
The U. S. revenue service, which is (very
unwisely, as we think,) to bo broken up, con
sists, or did consist, of fifteen vessels. The
pay of the captains is $1,2.00; lieutenants,
*$960; second do., $860; third do., $790;
per annum. Tho totul cost of mniutu,ling this
branch of the sorvice is $61,120. More than
five times the amount may possible be annually
lost by the government in consequence of its
suppression.—'■Sunday Times.
Another Capt. Cuttle.—The New York
papers contain on interesting account of an in
cident which occurred at the Floating Church,
in thut city, on the Sunday previous to the de
parture of Capt. Cook, tho heroic sailor who
rescued the passengers and crew of the Caleb
Grimsliaw. The Rev. Dr. Parker, had preach
ed from the text—Tho voice of the Lord is up
on the waters”—and had taken occasion to nl-
lude to tho benevolent conduct of Capt. C. on
thnt occasion, and to describe, in thrilling lan
guage, the perils ho encountered and the im
portant service he had rendered to the 399 of
his fellow mortals who must have perished but.
fur his timely uid. Tho congregation was great
ly affected by the discourse as was also the
Captain, who was present in tho Church.
After the benediction, Captain Cook
though with evident reluctance, suffered him
self to be conducted to the door of the Church
before any of the congregation left their septs
“that nil on retiring should have an opportunity
to take by the band and express their thanks
to a man who bad proved himself an honor to
the name of a sailor, to bis country, and to his
generation." It was some time, says the ac
count, before the Church was cleared, as the
house wns much crowded with seamen and
ladies, and others, but no person departed
without pressing tho honest captain’s hand.—
Among those, who thus greeted him, was a
weather beateu^tar, who had waited a long
time, and who at last succeeded in grasping his
hand, which ho seemed unwilling to let go,
shaking it with tho strong emotion of a sailor,
without uttering,a word but with the tears stream
ing down his cheeks. At. last he was able to tir-
ticulate: “Captain, God bless you!” and then
turned to the gang-plank and hastily retired.
On being left, Capt. C. discovered that he had
deposited in his hand a dollar bill.
Tho honest tar’s offering brings to our mind
Dickyns’ good old Captain Ed’ard Cuttle
and his watch and silver spoons. If the “sun
dry wnluubles" of the latter were insufficient se
curity for the Sor.. Gills, loan, how many do!

owes to Capt. Cook 7

MILLEDGEVILLE, Feb. 7.
Iii my hurried report of yesterday, I told you
that the Bill which had been lost, Incorporating
a Bank at Macon, to be called the “Manufac
turer’s Bank of Macon,” bad been re-consider
ed, nnd would probably pass. It passed by a
handsome majority—yeas 21, nays 15.
To-day at 11, A. M., both branches of the
General Assomby met in the Ropresentnlive
Hall, to elect four Delegates to the Nashville
Convention, proposed to be held in June next
wo from eachpoliticnl party.
The following are among the Bills passed by
tho House, yesterday.
A Bill to incorporate the Bowenville Manu
facturing Company, of Carroll county.
A Bill to authorize the Sheriffs and Clerks of
tho Superior, Inforiorand Courts of Oydinary of
tho several Counties of this State, to publish the
proceedings of their respective Courts in any
newspaper in this State. [I predict this a bad
law.]
A Bill to authorize Executors, Administm.
tors, and Guardians, to sell at public auction by
leave of the Court ol Ordinary, all insolvent,
or doubtful notes, bonds or other obligations of
their, testator, intestate, or ward.
A Bill to regulate the re‘-rns of Executors,
Administrators and Guardians.
Also, the Bill of Semite to layout nnd organ
ize a new county from the counties of I loyd and
Cass.
His Excellency sent in n long, (and in my
opinion.) very able Message, in answer to the
Resolution of the Senate, asking information re
lative to the Writ of Madamus, which had
been served upon him at the instance of John
H. Lorre, who hud boon elected by the Inferior
Court, as Clerk of the Court of Ordinary of
Honry county. This bus grown out of a decis
ion made by the Supremo Court in the case of
Bonner, Clerk of the Ordinary Court of Jones
County. The Governor occupies all tho gorund.
and takes an extended view of the relative po
sitions occupied, tenable and untenable, of the
co-ordinate branches of the Government. The
Message has been referred to select, Commit
tee, and 50 copies orderod to be printed.
Yours truly, C.
to day; Mr. Webster, and Mr. Butler, ol S. C
and Mr. Reverdy Johnson are engaged as
counsel in the case.
The library was also thronged with ladies)
the extreme coldness of tho Weather, brought
a brighter bloom to their cheeks, And they were
most becomingly enveloped in their Velvet
Mantillas, of almost every line. In this luxeu*
rious apartment they flitted amongst quaint
old volumes, rare engravings, und medals, with
a perfect abandon of enjoyment.
The reception evenings of the President and
secretaries are crowded ; the new faces one is
constantly meeting >vith, is a proof of the
number of strangers now in the city. Mrs.
Meredith will bo “at home" this week, for the
first limo since New Years day, and Mrs. Ew
ing’s reception will terminate at the com
mencement of lent. The private pnrties are
more than usually pleasant. The suppers are
gotten up with great taste, and the courtesy
and hospitality of our citizens to strangers, has
long been proverbial.
I3T I]y the bunt last night we received the
Charleston Courier. No mail was received from
beyond Charleston,
{jp 1 The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, under dato of 4th instant
says:—
I learn, from a good source, that it is know n
to the diplomatic circles here, that the Captain
General of the Island of Cuba, has been dj.
rccted, by his Government, to liberate all the
slaves, in case of a serious attempt at invasion
or insurrection. That the Spanish Govern-
inent, has given out this hint ih an official form
I know. Perhaps it is intended merely to he
bold in terrorem over the Government and p co .
pie of the United States.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.
About 8 o’clock this morning, the boiler in
Taylor’s machine fuctory, Ilayne-street, explod
ed, nnd almost instantly the whole of tho
six story building was in a heap of ruins. It
was occupied in part by Taylor and part by
St. John, Burr & Co., and the men and boys em
ployed in each establishment had assembled to
their work, and probably numbered nearly a
hundred persons. The suddenness of the dis
aster prevented their escape, and only a few
succeeded in extricating themselves from the
i; but the extent of the calamity is not yet
A Tariff on Wives.—A correspondent of
the New-Orleans Picayune gives an account of
a difficulty into which some of our Yankee cap
tains have got themselves by taking therir wives
wilhthem on their voyage to Cuba. Tho practice
of carrying along their “wives and weans” has
become very common of Into, and tho writer
says that there are now some forty or fifty Down-
East skippers in port thus encumbered, and
and who, having failed to take the precaution
of procuring passports for them, uro obliged by
the Governor General of Cuba, to pay a fine of
$35 each. The writer says that tho infliction
of the fine has produced great dissatisfaction,
that memorials have boon sent in vain to
the Governor for its remission. Ho even
refuses to consider them as “passengers in tran
sit,” who by bis own laws need no pnsport.
It would seem by this, thut they do not hold a
man’s wife tube his better half in Cuba. Our
people will have to give that Governor General
of theirs some general ideas of civilization yet.

African Discovery.—New Inland Sea.—A
recent number of the London Athenaeum in
timates that, according to a statement in the
South African Commercial Advorliser, the long
contested geographical problem of the existence
of a great inland sea or lake in Central Africa
has been at length solved by its discovery by a
Mr. L., (name not given; and that, of itself,
throws an ail of doubt over the account) who
writes from its banks, and calls it NoKA ca
Nama, or Ngama. He describes it as n sea of
unknown length’ and breadth, and land cannot
be seen across it. It is in the midst of the des
ert. Its waters are blue. Two large rivers
run into it fron the north. One of those
streams Mr. L. descended, along its banks,
for two hundred miles, in a S. S. E. direction,
nnd was thus led to the discovery of the sea.
He discribes it as being about 550 miles N. N.
W. of Kolobeng, and says his last solar ob
servation (whether taken near tho sea or not,
docs not appeur) gave a latitude of 16 deg. 7
minutes S. All very fine ; but, most probably,

There is but one Governor in the States whose

The Kentucky U. S. Senators.—A Mr.
Arnold, in the Kentucky House of Representa
tives, on 26th ult., offered a resolution calling on
their Senators in Congress to resign, as their

majority of the people of Kentucky, who op
pose that measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
Oil has been poured upon the troubled
waves in the check the House of Representa
tives has given to the anti-slavery agitation,
that has for weeks past produced such intense
excitement, not only ill Congress, but where
ever the subject has been discussed. This ef
fervescence of feeling, has been allayed for the
present at least, und moderate and judicious
measures will, doubtless, lead to its speedy
and final adjustment. It may be regarded as
the “first fruits” of the independent stand, the
the Southern impractables took ut the com'
mencement of the session. This same inde
jiendence evinced so strongly on the Speaker’s
election, soon made the Northern members,
Whigs and Democrats, understand they must
relinquish their organizations, or cease to press
the Wilmot Proviso. Mr. Root’s proposition:
intended to be a testquestion, possible might
have passed lefore the attention of the mem'
bers were drawn to the dangers which would
inevitably have, been the consequence of its pas
sage. When it came up to day, it was scouted
and defeated. The proposition was to in
struct the Committee on Territories, to bring
in a bill and establish territorial governments
for Deseret, California and New Mexico, with a
proviso excluding slavery. Mr. Venable mov
ed that it lie on the table, and the motion was
carried—year 105, nays 79. Among the ayes,
were at least fifteen or twenty of the Northern
members, principally Whigs. To judge from
appearances just now, it would seem that the
Northern men would rather evade, than press
the Proviso; for the present they do not wish to
meet the question. They regard with much
favor, General Taylor’s proposition to admit
California new, nnd when tho Territories are
prepared to become States admit them also.—
The Administration boldly claim, under the
treaty with Mexico, tho right of the people to
organize the State Governments, and demand
admission into the Union. Mr. Foot’s compro
mise bill is now, before the Committee on Ter
ritories of the Senate; they will deliberate up'
on tho matter, and a compromise scheme will
doubtless be roported, that will receive the
sanction of Congress. Mr. Douglass, with
Mr. Clny;s co-operation, is confident that he
will be able to settle the question.
In regard to our city, Mr. Douglas will pro
bubly propose the enlargements of the Char
ter, so that the corporation may possess Terri
torial powers. The abolition of slavery in the
District will receive no strong support in •Cop
gross, consequently, there will be no necessity
of resorting to a retrocession of the city und
county to Maryland.
The Cubans here do not act; covertly, but
evidently under tho impression, that their cause
is gaining strength, and will ultimately prevail
They are, however, mistaken in supposing that
Sir Henry Bulwer, in reference to his rebuff
at Queen Isabella’s cout, will view their pro
ject with indifcrence; on the contrary, his re
lathing with Mr. Calderon are extremely cordial,
and he will be watchful and wary, in reference
to Cuban nffiiirs. It is whispered among th
diplomates here, that the Captain General of
Cuba has tho authority of his government to
liberate all the slaves, in ease of an invasion.
The Supreme Comt this morning wns much
crowded, thc case wqs SUullz, vs. the Bank of
Georgia. Mr. McAllister of Georgia- argued
known. There aro many it is believed, still
alive under the ruins, who are merely covered
up bv them, but have sufficient space tobreatbc,
being preserved by cross beams &c.; indeed,
up to this time, 2 o’clock-, P. M., somo twen
ty-two or three, have been rescued, nnd only
two dead bodies found.
The persons who are beneath tho mass can
be heard distictly shouting to each other, hut I
much fear, that although they may escape one
mode of death, they will be exposed to anoth
er, as the water of which a large quantiy was
thrown on the burning ruins is penetrating to
where they are confined, and may possibly
drown them. At the lowest computation, there
must be at least 40 or 50 of them still missing,
und the scene presente4 in the neighborhood,
it is impossible to describe. Wives, mothers,
sisters,are crowding near the place to know the
fate of their relatives, and their lamentations are
heart-rending. The Station House close by, to
which the persons rescued and the dead bodies
are conveyed, is also besieged by sorrowful
friends, anxious, yet fearing to know tlie result.
I have never witnessed so awful a sight, as was
presented to me thi3morng, when admitted in
close proximity to tho scene of the disaster
The poor fellows who were dug out were so dis
figured as to look scarcely human, and many
were battered and bruised frightfullyl—egs and
arms shattered, and their bodies besmared with
blood and dirt.
Such a calamity lias rarely happened in our
city, and it will throw a gloom over many a
family, who were this morning blithe and hap
py. It is supposed that there was a flaw in the
boiler, which was repaired and altered a week
or two since, and it was remarked that there
was more steam on, than usual this morning,
and the Engineer was cautioned, but I took
no Heed, and he has paid dearly for it.
I have no time to say more to-day, as the mail
is just closing. CHARLEMAC.
Mr. Elihu Burritt says, in the Christian Citi
zen, thut the Anlo-Snxon race numbers 60.000,.

in less than 150 years it will number 800,000,-

The State Disgraced.—Wo mourn over the
Empire State, once the first in favor of tho
Union— the foe to the unprincipled agitator,
but now submissive, tame, and servile—afraid
to lift up her tcet and crush tho reptiles which
seek to destroy her. An abolition convention
was held in Syracuse, Jan. 15, 1350, and not
one ofthe members was tarred nnd feathered.
A black rascal by the name of Douglass, thp [.
same fellow who was on the Buffalo platform
with Van Boren, among other remarks was per
mitted to use the following language:
Let the Union be dissolved. I wish to see
it dissolved nt once. Talk to me of theloveol
liberty of your Washingtons, Jeffersons, tmdl
Hcnrys, they were strangers to any just iderjT
of liberty.”
It is to the disgrace of Syracuse that the citi
zens of that city could stand by and hear the
great father of his country insulted by this
wretch, and that no man was sufficiently men-
ly or patriotic to fell the scoundrel to the earth.
Yet we abuse tho south, and call their people
fanatic. Why, no ■white man in this state would
dare to abuse the name of Washington, in thii
manner, vet a black ipon could do so with im
punity. What are we coming to?—N. Y.Smd.

The Mesmerised Children—Additional
Facts.—The Clearspring, Md., Sentinel, whose
editor is a physician, gives some further facts
concerning the mesmerised children of Mr.
Jones, near that place, of whose very strange
affliction we published an account a short time
since. After stating that the children had pret.

toms, the Sentinel adds:
Since the above was in type, we have seen
Mr. J., who informed us that all three of his
children hud relapsed into the same condition,
and that another, a younger daughter of his, had
taken it. He thinks it a disease, which by oper

ism. We respectfully demur from his theory,
and shaji give our views as soon as health and
time permits.
One of tho gentlemen who accompanied us
at our late visit to the mesmerized children,
