The Sea Serpent Again.—By reference to the letteh of our correspondent, (whom w.e en dorse ns an intelligent and responsible gentle man,) it will be seon that the Sea Serpent inis met with n rather inhospitable reception among our Carolina neighbors, It is ardently to be hoped-that “Murky Joe" and his unfortunate companions may yet be avenged.

TbeC'onstaqtinoble.iouruals of tho 2d inst., state that the greatest tranquility continues to reign throughout the Ottoman empire. The palace of Prince Poter, of Oldmiburgh, St. Petersburg, was partially consumed by fire on the 5th* The immense stock of plate Belong ing to the Prince was melted, and a great number of valuable documents, among them several State papers felfaprqy to the flames. The Emperor of Russia has thrown open all the hnfbbrs of Livonia, Es'thqnia, nnd Corn- land, to the importation of potutoes from foreign countries duty free. The Roman Stales.—Although the depar ture of the Pope from Portici for Rome was de finitely fixed for the 14th of February, his Holiness has again fchetfced .\i* kiAid, ednd delayed that- event for a few days. Tbe Nazionalo, of Florence, states that, on the 9th, the Corso at Homo was suddenly in- . vaded by a prosession of persons,crying ,,Vive la Republicii!" (that day beipg the anniversa ry of'the proclamation of the Roman Repub lic,)-and thnt beforo tho police nnd ■ military force could arrest them, they disappeared ns sudden as they Fad come. When right came, the; Corso being still filled with citizens,: sol diers and sbirri, tri-colored Bengal firo was let off on all sides. The military wanted to stop tbe seditious fires, but the > people pre vented them. Sumo French officers were heard to say “The Romans celebrute the an niversary of their Republic.” * Letters from Naples, of tbe 9th, say that the now municipal and provincial constitution for the Roman states, which is said to he liber al, will bo published immediately after the Pope's return to Rome.

This is tho first vessel, we believe, that over sailed from our port to the East Indies.. I» The Atheneum.—;The managers have pre pared* a rich treat forour citizens in the exquis ite little opera of the Child of the Regiment, which they produce to-night, with Miss Rosa 'Jacques as Marie. This piece, in our opin ion, comprises more'oxcellent music than any other opera of tho same length now on the boards, and with Miss J. hi Mane, sustained in the g&jmatig, scenes, by the excellent company I at the Atjieiieum, its representation cannot fail to give the highest satisfaction. Miss Kimberly.—This talented nnd nc- complisbed lady concluded her series of Sliak- spenre readings in this city on Saturday Morn ing. On Friday evening she read King John, in which she was even more successful than in her former efforts. Tbe delineation of the characters in this piece afforded a fine opportunity for the disployoiflier superior talents. The griefs ef the -wrongfid Constance aiid \lle appeals of tho un fortunate Arthur, were delivered in a tone and maniicr peeubaj'ly'touqhing. Many, in die au dience were sensibly affected by the deep, pa thetic interest which, she gave to many of tjie scenes. On Saturday morning we were surprised to hear her read Romeo and Juliet, ns i( her powers bad not been so severely taxed only a few hours before. Her Juliet was a masterly achievement, in which she developed, seeming ly without effiirt, many new nnd strikingly beauti ful points. Romeo was equally well j Mercutio, the merry Mercutio, was given to the life, while tbe whimsical old Nurse was faithfully persona ted. The beuutifurianguagc of Friar Lawrence. which we consider one of the chief merits of the piece, was given in a style' of finished clo- cution'^hieh added greatly to it? effect. We regret that engagements at tho north, would not permit Miss K. to remain longer with us.

Great Excitement in Beaufort—The Sea Sir- fent in Wheel Branch River-rnA Detach ment of Artillery in pursuit of him. Beaufort, (8. C.) March 16, 1850. Mi- Editor: Out community is in a state of intense excitement about tho Sea Serpent, which hns made its appearance in our neigh borhood. A gentleman of my acquaintance hail a shot iit his stmlteship yesterday with a rificj an dauother with a shot-gun, but did not “save him.” Thi^ morning a detachment, consisting of a number of our artillery boys, headod by tho cap tain of tbe corps, with u6-pounrler, went down the river in pursuit of him. We have heard the report of Several gune, and otir whole communi ty—men. women, and children—are in a stake of feverish excitement to know the resuit. Grout snort this, hunting Sea Serpents with a cannon ! Excuse this brief and busty note. I am in fected with the general excitement. Will write when the party returns. Very respectfully, ate.* From Indian River.—The U. 8. Bteumer Monmouth, Cupt. Freeborn, arrived on Sat urday moaning last, from Indian River. She left the coast of Florida on Thursday last, and reports nothing new in relation to the move ments of the army. On the 28th, 74 Indians sailed for Pascagou la from Fort Ilamer, on board tho steamer Fashion; but 19 only of these wero warriors, the remainder being women, boys anil gills. No distinguished Indiun accompanied this de tachment of emigrants, it being only a test movement to convince thosq left behind that the Government intended to deal fairly with them. Tho Indiaus still express their willing ness to emigrate,and say that they are making ar rangements to drive in their cattle and dispose of them. Some of them have driven in a por tion of their stock and hogs, which has been sold at auction for their benefit, but it has been observed that they have omitted to bring in their breeding sows, although tliev would have brought better prices than other bogs. This fact has given rise to suspicions on the part of some bf the settlers, that they do not intend to act in good faith with the government. It is the opinion of many in Florida that they will postpone their movements as long ns possible, but will finally emigrate without further trou ble. ' asagate A: Arne 23td M. an extensN Turpentine.— Messrs. N. A. Hardee & Co. received on Saturday last, parsloup Ameri ca, from Sat ilia River, 180 barrels of Turpen tine. We understand that many enterprising citizens of Liberty and'Mclntosh counties, in our own State, and many of the planters of Flori da, have recently gone extensively into the business of manking Turpentine, and that they hove been very successful. For several years pust more money has been made to the hand, in North Carolina, in procuring crude Turpen tine, than has been realized from the same amount of labor expended in the Cotton fields of Georgia. The pitch pine in portions of our State is equally ns productive as that of North Carolinu, and we can see no reason why the production of Turpentine should cot become a highly profitable .business with our people. From St. Domlnqo.—Capt. Smith, of the barque Nacoocliee at NowYork states that when he left St. Domingo, on the 16th of February, tbe Dominican Republic had a fleet of one ship, two brigs and seven schooners ready for aaa,. On Sunday night, February 10. the com mander of one of tho brigs of war was attack ed on shore, and beaten so'severely by a black man that he was not expected to recover. The man who committed tbe deed was to be shot on tho morning of the 16th February. The commander was a Frenchman, and hud been promoted, the day previous to bis being attack' tfd',io ft cdmmbdoro' 1 , Latest from the Isthmus.—Capt Nichol son, of the steafnship l’hiludelphia, at N. York, from Clmgres, reports that when he left Clia- gres, (4th inst.) it was generally healthy on the Isthmus, and the Chagres river was very low. Tho route for the Railroad across tho Isthmus having been surveyed, and the trees cut down far. the greate rpart of tbe way, ground will soon bo broken and the work pushed to ’ completion with all practicable speed. Cholera in Ireland.—The Carlow (Ire land). Sentinel states that the cholera has broken out in the workhouse at Gorep, and al. ready swept away a large number of the in mates. It is also stated that the disease has appeured in the town, and proved fatal to many_ Contradiction. ?— The non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates attached to the murine barracks at Brooklyn, N. J. have sign ed a declaration to the effect that the state-' ment made at tho Tabernacle, on occasion of the meeting to promote tho abolition of col- poral punishment •in tho'navy, that “men hid been triced up to the flag-staff uf the marine bar racks, at Brooklyn, and flogged until their cries had alarmed the passengers in tho streets,” is “a gratuitous, infamous and malicious false hood.” Northern J’ress on Mr. Webster’s Sfeech.—Miv W's speech commands a large share of notice in tho public press at the North. The following from the Boston Traveller nnd Transcript of Saturday evening, is all that 1ms yutcorfte to hand from Massachusetts. It is speaking of' tiro telegraphic accounts’: “It is difficult to learn from it tho exact bearing of Mr. Webster’s speech. It repre sents him as lihving said some things which we aro not propureri to bf'ievo he did say, at least wihout material qualifications.. Mr Cnl- hoUn’s general commcndution of Mr. Webster's speech, and particularly his remark that it was calculated to save the Union,’is wholly inex plicable. But the report is not such as to jus tify any comments.” Tho Boston Transcript snys i “It cannot bo denied that, the speech of Mr. Webster has produced much surprise, and no little dissatisfaction among his friends here. Even tbe Atlus admits as much us this.” The speech, however, is commended in more cases by tho prominent press, than otherwise. Of it the Now York Courier says s “We nre gratified at the very emphatic man ner in which he has stated, nnd enforced our constitutional duty in relation to fugitive slaves, and wn trust that, with his powerful aid, such a bill will bo passed, at this session of Congress, ns will compel, the people of every State, to fulfil, in this respect, their constitu tional obligations.” The Journal ofCommerce, independent, is i rapture's with the speech, and says : “The whole countiy has cause to thank Mr. Webster for his faithfulness und courage in ma king these declarations, und others like them, knowing, as he must do,- that from a considera ble fraction of his constituents be will, for so doing, be branded as an enemy both'to God and man.” The Tribune of Friday, with its characteris tic coarseness snys : “Thnt those who were fools enough to sup pose that Mr. Webster would propose the ex tension of the Missouri line to tho Pacific, or any other compromise of that sort, will find themselves disappointed.” On Saturday the same paper has alongarticle on Webster anil slavery. The speech is thus characterized. We do not criticise the manner of Mr .Web ster’s speech ; we do not find fnuit with its details ; all thnt is of minor consequence. It is its substance that wo pronounce unequal to the occasion and unworthy of its author.” The declaration of Mr. Webster that North ern States and their citizens are morally bound to aid in the recapture of fugitivo slaves, is attacked, though the existence of such a de mand on the face of tho constitution is ac knowledged. Thelaw is, however, maintained to be in advance, or rather in contradiction of public Sentiments, and therefore impossible to be executed. The Sun, neutral, thus speaks of Mr. Web ster’s speech : “He has placed his coIIossbI shoulder to the wheel of the Union. His stand is antipode of that of Mr.'Calheun, and is stronger, inasmuch as it is based upon the intelligent conviction of four-fifths bf tbe American people, as well as upon immutable principles.” Tho Philadelphia Pensylvaniun, democratic says of Mr. Webster's speech : - “We hove read it with profound pleasure.- His speech in the present crisis mtre be justly regarded ns eminently bold, and to the point. He tramples the proviso, or, ns he calls it, ‘the Wilinot,’ under foot, with every expression of scorn and contempt. He even defies the in structions of federal Massachusetts, and offers the open hand of friendship to the South. We honor him for his intrepidity, and hope the ro suit will be, as we have ho doubt itiwfllbo, fa vorable to the constitution and the Union.” if OMEN AT W ASlllNOTONAn ohsr^" lettnr writer at Washington, writing to a York paper* makes the following *nuhfu| r( . marks:—Tha compliment paid to the nat j V(j modesty of o8f southern Indies by a nortlie,,, pen, is ne*er the less flattering because it j, .

She will be of larger-tonnage and much greater capacity for freight than the Philadelphia, and wi(l be a mpdel ot speed and strength'. »S?“ While the Legislature of Ohio is about to puss a law making it a penal offence for any person to assist in the arrest and detention or delivery of a fugitive slave, a bill has been introduced into the Legislature of Pennsylva nia repealing all her laws on that subject. |3P Wo see it stuted that passed Midship man Griffin of this city is to have command of one pf the vessels now fitting out at New York to go in search of Sir John Franklin. EIP In a puragraph which we copied from ail exchange on Saturday, ore stated that the cholera was raging with fatal malignity in-the town of Trinity La., and that the,town had been depopulated. A letter received by a gentleman in this city, gives o more favorable account of tho health of Trinity. The letter states that the disease broke out very suddenly and that five persons had died, but that the cholera had disappeared as suddenly as it came,and that no cases had since occurred. A hotel keeper bad left on the first alarm—had died on his way to Natchez. UfP Col. Fremont hus reached Washing ton, ord bus i.truly recovefbJ his health. Mrs Fremont it entirely recovered. at Washington, by her manner, a new com er, when attended by a gentleman to public places-“such ns Congress, parties, theatres'*# serenades, panoramas—is shy, and somewhat reserved. Wait until she has been hero some time, and .her tactics are entirely changed.— She is no Ringer afraid, but will nestle up to her aceomprtnion like a young pigeon to her mate, mid lu,ok up into his eyes with on ex pression in her own that, is no less bewitching than indescribable. When she is wulltin; with her lover or escort, she allows him m poke hepfilong the avenue, his elbows inker side, without tho least show of resistance i annoyance. These are old stugers. ’Tis not so with new comers. Tho latter won’t stand these things from casual acquaintances, or even from sweethearts. The great gathering places fpr strange ladies, both 'Vuune and old, arc the galleries of tho two houses of Congress. Wash ington permanent ladies, ure fond of exhibiting themselves there, and of being squeezed in the most approved style.- A modest young huh will never go twice to the gallery of the Scj. ate; onco will do. It is altogether coming ton close quarters with the male sex, fur either her comfort or delicacy. Even the delight of hear- ingClay, Webster, or Houston, make aspeoch s not a sufficient inducement for her to toe the mark a second time. A southern girl is rarely seen in tho ladies’ gallery of the U. S. Sen ate. She is never seen there twice. Manv young ladies go there every day, when the Senate sits—They want tube seen, and don't mind squeezing ; they are used to it, and like 1 1 it amazingly. There are whole families that ill crowd into that Senate gallery whon it is perfect jam, if some popular orutor is speak ing, and after dislodging a score of nipti from their seats, will take their places ; but ho soon er is the confusion somewhat subsided, when they rise.like a bevy e.f quails, and take wing to some other pnrt of the capitol, as tho Su premo Court, or House, where their advent is equally annoying. ■Damages.—Persons put up labels, “beware of the dog.” It should be, beware of the dam ages.
