That the Court erred in giving the mo ney to the younger fifa.

We had been in the wind so much, with our nails slinking, that for an hour or two we had made but little headway, and on looking round snw a sail astern, coming up with us very fast. Whether tho "Tuik," was frightened ut the appearance of tho vessel, or bad made up his mind that we were too well prepared for him, I cannot say, but frightened lie was, for drawing his jib sheets ntid setting both gaff topsails, ho made off with his utmost speed, much to our. regret.

Washington.—If I see Anecdote of Gen to-morrow, it will complete fifty-five years since 1 first celebrated the day in America. The story I am about to relate, lgot from tho lips of the honest old Quaker himself. In 1777, the British held possession of Now York. Tho American army lay at Westchester, near tho banks of the Hudson, twonty-five miles above New York. The Quakers, from their peaceable lmbits, took no active part, and were at least very cool in tho cause of their countrv. One morning nt sunrise, this Quaker farmer, in passing a clump of bushes, heard a moaning noise. On listoning, lie heard the words of prayer. Ho concealed himself till the >>on issued from tho secret Chamber—this man was Washington. Ho roso with tho suit to pray for his country. He communed with Heuven in hor behalf by day, nnd fought for her by night. On entering his dwelling, says the Quaker to his wife, Martha, wo must not oppose this cause anymore. I hnvo heard tho man Gen. Wash ington send a prayer to Houvon, and it will be answered. ’ Grant Thouburn.

Habitually wo are distrustful of pirate stories, about these days, but this one seems to have ut loast’a show of substance in it:— On board Barque “Wm.,0. Ai.oek." ) Jan. 12, 1850, lut. 12 57 S. Ion 3435 W. j On Saturday, Jun. 5, at daylight, lnt. 4 03 N, Ion. 27 05 W, wo saw two sails to the lee ward of us, aliout TO miles distant, very near each other.

E„ we steering at the time S., with the wind a little free. Tho barque kept on her course a little while, then hauled her wind anil stood for us as near as she could, we being almost, dead to the windward of her. She stood on this tack fog some time, when seeing that wo showed no signs of run ning oft' our course some 10 or 15 miles, to, speak lier, she put her helm up and went oa ? her northerly course again. In tho meantime the other vessel kept close “* J upon the wind, standing for us oracrosa iWS. At 12 o’clock wo made her out to _ a-schooner, painted all black one side, Vwh>#> the other she hod a red streak.—At 11 o’clock that night she passed within fifteen reds of our bows—then directly under our stern-—then on Either side of tho barque.

Regarding tho establishment of a cheap news paper press in Savannah, as a matter in which the citizens generally have an interest,we feel that it is neither indelicate nor improper for us to speak of the success which has attended our efforts. •Before wo commenced the News, there were many well-wishers who would have persuaded us against an enterprise which they deemed un- propitious; and even nfter we issued the pnper, friends endeavored to convince us of tho im practicability of our plan.- A neutral paper, in their opinion, could not bo sustained in Savan nah, much less a cheap paper, and the idea of selling the Nows toduily purchasers was deem ed utterly preposterous. Wo had come to different conclusions. We believed tho time had come wlion what had been so sttccorsfully practiced in the Northern and Eustcrn commercial cities, might be ac complished here, and we determined to test the correctness of our judgement. An experience of less than two months has fully verified the correctness of our views. Already, our edition has reached far beyond our most sanguine expectations, so that it is now os much as a fast pressman can do to print the paper on a hand press in-tiinc for the curriers in the morning. From three wo have been compelled to in crease tho numbovof our carriers to seven in order to supply our readers in seasonable time. Our list of subscribers is daily increasing, and tlie sale has increased nearly one hundred co pies withinthe last week. Should our circulo tion continue to improve in any tiling like tho same ratio, wo shall ho compelled to employ a po.wer press long before tho expiration of the yenr. These facts, while they ore truly gratifying to us, go to prove the utility us well as the practica bility of the neutral press. By making the Nows accessible as well as acceptable to all, we ure enabled to diffuse it through all classes of the community, and to find tunny readers where there were hilt few newspaper patrons before. To accommodate our advertising patronage which is growing upon us, we hnvo procured h handsome font of new type, nnd will in u few dnvs he enabled to present the News in a new ami tastoful dress. We are determined not to relax our exer tions to make our paper in every respect wor thy theliberal patronage it lias received. ’ The annual meeting of the Savannah Chamber of Commerce will bo -held ut the Counting Room of Messrs.

General Taylor, accompanied by Mr. Pres ton, left the city yesterday, for Richmond, to lay the corner stone of the Washington Mon ument. Mr. Miller of N. Y,, referred to it in his speech in the Senate, and earnestly hoped, “that tho corner stone about to be laid, would strengthen the foundations of the Union.” The weather was warm, breezy, and balmy, giving us a promise of the spring we may soon hofie to enjoy. Tho denfouing, roar of guns, min gled with tho ringing of hells, announced to us this morning, the return of the anniversary of Washington’s birth day. it seemod as if, tho associations connected with tho day, could not foil to allay somo of the excitement that the strife of politics, in all its bitterness, has produced. It has-been the general impression, among those who hnvo viewed the subject in nil its hearings, that the progress of anti-slavery fanat icism, would fee arrested hy.the stern detormin- ation tho South has evinced, in resisting the aggression of the north. A singular change lms taken place in Congress, during the past week, the northern mon, hitherto so still under the denunciations of tho South, now mnko the most vehement speeches, using strong, men* ucing, and insulting language. In this course, they say, they arc justified, by the previous threats of the South, which had the effect of placing them before their constituents, in a mortifying and huniblo position. Colonel Bisscl, in his speech yesterday, was fierce, indignant and contemptuous. Bitter reproaches wore hurlod upon the South and be intimated that if the minority should again attempt, to interrupt the proceedings, by a disorganizing movement, ns on Mondoy night—they would be expelled by the majority. Wliigs and democrats havo both rejected the wise and patriotic accommodation offered them by Mr. Clay. What project will now succeed ? In this state of affairs, when both parties are incensed nnd itiftanted, Congress can do nothing, and the transition will bora- pid, from hard words to hard blows. “Where will the South get her pfe Order 7” asked a northern member; the reply was,- “cotton hales will procure any tiding;, and-'wo can have re course to gun cotton Tlieie will be no change for the prOsOn in tho dopartmetnt of State, Our citizens are not a littlo amused, by the very droll accounts given of Wnshingtori socie ty, that have recently appeared itf some of tho papers. It is very apparent that thoso who write so knowingly, in regard to such matters have never yet had access Jicre to what we style good society. UNION. Scenes in New York.—Ilow little ts known in onr southern cities of the misery und vice that abounds in tho grent Metropolis. Those who read the trashy literature of such writers ns Ned Buntline, nnd the autliof - of “New York in Slices." “Near York by Has Light,” Ac., are familiar with scenes of vice and dissipation, dressed np in romantic guise to excite the mental appetite and deprave tho moral sentiment of the reader, but they have no conception of the extremes of misery that exist in real life, In the great city. Such paragraphs as the following, which meet our eye in every New York paper, give us a truer view of tho miserable condition of the paupor class in New York, than Is to bo found in the highly wrought works of fiction.— We clip the following from the pnpers receiv ed yesterday morning: Shocking Death.—Officer McGrath yester day morning went into a room, in Theatre al ley, to arrest Wm. Finney for being drunk and disorderly. In tho room he found Finney, his mother, nnd two sisters, all very much intoxi. cuted, and the woman partly naked. He took Finney to the station house, and on returning to the room found the mother dead, having been suffocuted by one of the daughters lying across her. Destitute Children.—Yesterday afternoon a man named Jonathan Mason took to the 17th Ward Station House two little children about two and four years of age, destitute. He stat ed their parents had been grossly drunk for several days, mid their children left to beg in the street fWtho ordinary necessaries of life, or perish. They were taken care of. There is not the samo amount of pauperism in New York,even with the immense influx of in digent foreigners, that is to be found,in- the large European cities; but tliero i* quite enough of misery, degradation and crime to occupy the humane exertions of her true philanthropists, and to prevent the necessity of their looking abroad for fields of benevolent enterprise. By A Washington letter in the Baltimore ,#un says The administration, is evidently receding from the rigor With which in the President’s message, admission of Oeltifornia was recom mended to both House* of Congress. The President does not wish to hurry the question of admission; hence the short message which he transmitted to Congress, accompanying tho constitution of California. |3P* Tho Washington Correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun writing under date of 22d in Mh. Clat’s Compromise.—The Journal 0 f Commerco, speaking of Mr. Clay’s Oomph,, mlse says 1 “The North gain, the kernel, (the thing sought-*-*the exclusion of slavery from the New Territories.) and cap well afford to let the South have the shell." Here is the truth "In B hut-shell.” For our own part wc can see nothing that deserves Ui e name of compromise in a series of resolutions which, while they resolve away the equal right of the south to the public domain, and take from her territory over which she has already assert- cd hor jurisdiction, offer her nothing in return but tho flimsy assurance that she may Continue her institutions within hOr own limits, and that no more of her property ought to be carried off and retained from her by the citizens of tho free states. A Large Cargo.—The British ship Ach- me, Summerville, was cleared at Mobile on the 18th inst.,byGeo. Martin, for Liverpool, with 3,420 bales of cotton, weighing 1,747,546 pounds and valued at $200,650. Murder of an Infant.—A little babe three months old, was murderot} in Washington city last week by a negro nurse. According to the tes. timony before the coroner’s jury, the mother left the infant sleeping in the cradle, while she stepp ed into the store to attend to a customer. 1r her absence, the sen-ant took the laudanum bot tle from the closet, and poured the contents down the child’s throat l Mrs. Mortimer, tho mother on hor return to the room, immediately perceived wTint had been done, and sent lor a physician, hut his skill could not avert death. The innocent lingered for seven hours. J3P A fire broke out in Rome N. Y.. ou the 22d instant, and, before the flames could be sub dued,from 15 to 20 buildings were consumed. The loss is heavy, but mostly insured. y 3 Mr. Clay was to attend the Whig, young men’s Festival, at Philadelphia on the 22d instant. stant says— Listoning to the speeches of members, one would suppose that tho Union is already dis solved, by their fiat, and that all that was to be done was to haul down the flag of the Union, run up the ensiens of the several States, and agree upon a plan of the first campaign. ’There fore it has been considered whether the mouth of the Mississippi is to be held by tho South or not, and whether the Northern Atlantic States, or the North-western States shall com mand it. All the North claim it; no one of tho North supposed it possible that the South can retain it. The part of the great North-west is already marked out. Even the number of regiments that the State of Illinois is to furnish 1ms been stated—that is, thirty-six regiments, who aro to inarch out in defence of the Union, and savo it or return no mote. The part assigned to the Executive, is to defend the arsenals, navy yards, &c., and custom houses in the South, and to enforce the collection of tho revenue. With all these arrangements, it is understood that the people aro not to bo specially consulted. It is assumed thut they ore prepared for disso lution and war. Two of the Southern States have made military preparations. The South ern people, it is claimed, ure decidedly ahead of their representatives, and clamorous for an issue. The Northern men have lately shown' thut they do not intend that the bragadocia shall he 011 the side of the South. "Literary Intelligence. — The London, correspondent of the Intelligencer says, that Washington Irving’s “Life of Oliver Gold smith,” and Mr. Emerson’s “Representative Men,” are announced as republished in London. The “Wilmihgtons,” a new novel, by Mrs. Marsh, is spoken of in very high terms. The “Martyrs of Carthage,” by the author of Nnom i, and the “Petrel, a TaLe of the Sea,” by a Naval Otficer of rank, are lauded very highly in anticipation, and have been heralded by praise enough to dq tliem damage, unless they are very superior in. died. “Punch” has encountered a powerful rival in the person of •‘Pasqum’ 1 who made his-, first appearance lately, anil was very cordially received. Independent of Pasquiu’s friends and supporters, Gavarni, Kenny Meadows, &c. as artists, and a strong body of popular comic writers, whose names are only whispered, he offers his weekly entertainments for three half ponce, whilst Punch charges three penuu. Singular Case'.— The correspondent ofthe Hagerstown(Md.)Muil contains the following singular account ofthe sudden death of a young man irr that town hy tho name of Georoe A Cole. The writer says.—"After being kept for the period of four days, hewrls placed ir. Mr. Hart’s vault, in the Lutheran grave yard, with the lid of his coffin open, as there were very serious doubts whethor or not he wm in a trance. His disease, the Doctor says, was the Erysip elas, the enly indication of which was a smalj pimple on his lip, causing much swelling,-anil of which, in the short space of three days,,he died. Many persons have daily visited fire remains’, and all exptess their donbts. Though in this state for more than two weeks, hrs cheeks aro as rosy and fresh as when in good health,—his lips, at first somewhat blue, now have a very natural and life-like color, and his limbs are as pliant as ever, not having the rigidity of. iesth at all—his eyes not at all sunken, but natural a* when in robust health. There is not, as yet the least appearance of decay and no offensive smell. His parents visit him daily, to ascertain if any chnnge lms taken place, either for better or worse. Though Doctors say he is dead, many persons in the community doufct it. Doctors ate not infallible. He was fifteen or sixteen years of age, fine looking and intelligent.—On Sunday he was in excellent health, enjoying himself with his companions—on Wednesday night ho wus declared a corpse. Such is life. Sickness on Wards’s Island.—Tho Now York Journal of Commerce says that there have been nine deaths hy choleia among the emi grants since Sunday, and that out of2000, which is the whole number on the island, nine hun- dred are on the sick list; the principal descas- es being opthalmia and typhus fever. It is add ed that although some of these cases have orig inated upon tho island, tho great majority were landed from the ship in their present condition. Glassy.—An exchange papers say that a lady was recently married at Louis in a dress made of glass which cost $1500—brilliant no- doubt, but brittle. Democratic . Nomination.—At a meeting of tlie Democratic Members of the Legisla ture, held at MiUedgoville, the Hon. John W Anderson, was nominated'to represent the 1st Congressional District in tho Nashville Con vention, Col. Henry L. Benning of Muscogcn, is tlio Democratic nominee of tho Second Congres sional District for Delegate to the Nashville Convention'. |y Newark, N. J.. for a small town, is a great place for “promiscuous” babies, which are frequently found in tho streets; sometimes carefully “tied np” in something, and not un- frequently “lying about loosa.” Two found lings were recorded there last week. A Just Verdict.—In tho Superior Court, sitting at Hartford, (Ct.,) last week, a verdict was rendered against Lyman B. ‘Marks for damages to theamount of $1,572, for having slandered Miss Ruth Chase, and thus causing her removal from a school which she taught inHartland. Tho.evidence was conclusive in exculpating tho lady from tho imputations upon her character.

Ho proposes to reveal the secret to tlie public, if. the Legislature will grant him a certain sum of money; and a bill has been reported fur that purpose. The Jour nal of Commerce says several distinguished agriculturists to whom the secret has been made known in confidence, speak of it in high terms. . . ’ .' - iy A fire occurred in Gardiner, Me., on the 20th irtst., which consumed a whole block of buildings on the north side of water street, and several thousand dollars worth of pro perty. Liberia —A Missouri Colony.—We notice in the late St. Louis papers, a call for a mass meeting of free blacks, to be held . in that city, to take into consideration the subject of African Colonization. It is proposed, we believe, to obtain a portion ofthe African coast and terri tory for the purpose of founding a •• Missouri Colony”—to he the home and asylum of! free blacks emigrating from that State. Several letters and papers from Liberia were read. Meaning of the Word- “Consols.”— This word, so often used in London finance operations, says tho New York Commercial Advertiser,is only an abbreviation of the word ‘‘consolidated” At various times the British Government has borrowed divers sums of mo ney, payable at different dates and bearing (W* ferent rates of interest. Occasionally tlio stocks issued ns evidences of those voriotl* debts havo been taken up, or called in, and now stock issued in their stead, payable atone fixed time and bearing one fixed rate of in * er " e9t. Such a stock is called a consolidate 1 ) stock or a “consol;” nnd, to disting uish 11 from others, the rate of interest it bfearsis gen erally mentioned: thus we read of six per sent- consols, three per cent, consols, &c., &c.
