Brown. which dropt down the river nn 8und»y lest destined to the East Indies, hits been detainee below by the mutiny of ber crew. We undet- staad that the men were shipped in this oit- and received their advance, but when the ves •el was ready to proceed to sea, refused tn per form theirduly. Yesterday warrants were is sued for their arrest, and officers ser.t down to bring it e offenders up for trial. It ia to be hoped that the matter will be tho roughly looked into, and if the case is such as it ha* been represented to us, that justice be meeted out to the | arties in fault, by a r t enforcement of the law. The repo ation of our city and tho commercial interests of our port, demand that the jaw should interpose to prevent the recurrence of these difficulties and to protect the rights of parties concerned. Our river has’heretofore been fhe scene of high- banded and disgraceful proceedings which have brought reproach upon our authorities from abroad, and the only wny to prevent a re- clarence ot these outrages is to hold tho offen ders to a strict accountability. — K5 Bt. Patrick's Day The following correspondences, and toasts drank at the Festival of the Hibernian Society, held%t the City Hotel, in honor of 3t. Patrick's Day, on Monday evening, were furnished us for publication by the Committee of Arrangements: Savannah, March 19, 1850. Dear Sir: In behalf of the Hibernian Society we have the honor of asking from you a copy oftheveryeloquent Oration, delivered by you on the 18-h inst., before the Irish Associations of Savannah. Hoping you will comply with grati- seen preju- The Opera To-Night.— Benefit of Mist Rosa Jacques.—Those who would enjoy a rich musical treat should not fail to visit the Athe- neum to-night,to hear the charming cantatrice Miss Rosa Jacques, in the delightful operatic drama of the Child of the Regiment. As Marie, on Monday night, she elicited raptures of applause by her finished execution of the exquisite music with which the piece abounds. Miss Rosa is justly a favorite with the musical public wherever she has been, and we sincerely hope that her benefit to-night may be worthy of hertuients and character as an accomplished artiite and lady. Purser Price.—The Richmond Whig srvs the statem nt that Purser Price lost $250,000 of government money by the burning of the steamer Orline St. John, is incorrect. He lost only the vouchers of his expenditures. Mr. Webster in Boston.—A project is on foot for a meeting of citizens in Fauui.l Hall, * to |i§sj)ond to the sentiments expressed in tho late speech of Mr. Webster. Melanchoi.lt Suicide.—Acting Sergeant James Montgomery, of the Mariners, shot him „ self through the heud on Thursday with a mus ket,nt the Mari lcBairacks,Brooklyn, N. Y. He served with the Army under Gon. Scott,in Mex ico, andlhe severe campaign, and privations to which he was exposed debilitated him exceeding ly,and affectodhis mind. The act was committed in the storeroom. He had made u pillow of his watch coal—took a loaded musket and tied the trigger to liis foot—placed the musket to his chin, and deliberately blow out his brains. S3T Gen. Cu»s delivered a lecture on Tues day evening of last week in the Egyptian Saloon, Baltimore, before the Order of Odd Fellows. The halt was crowded to excess, and the large audience delighted w the lecture. cr The Farewell Address of Andrew Jack, son, to the people of the United States, was read in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, on the 15th inst. \3T The Cungross of San Salvador, Central America, commenced its session Jun. 25.

The President of the House of Deputies, in reply to tho address of tho President of the Ropublic, announcing the fact, said : “Since^lSM, tho people of San Salvador, full of the must lively enthusiasm, huve aspired not only for the friendship of that great and power- ful Republic, but still mote, to behold its sacred rights secured under tho influence of that por tentous constellation.” . n 8 . our request and thus add to the debt o lode we already ftwe you.

In the meantime; allow me tn offer you a sentiment which can never fail to find a ready response in every heart that has a drop of Irish blood circulating in it :— “Ireland.—Land of our forefathers!—bright gem of the ocean .'—though sad be her fate and though dimmed be her prospects, may she yet rise like the meteor from the darkness. Great, glorious, and free; First flower of the earth, first gem of the sea.” Very truly yours, H. W. CONNER, President. Celebration of tbe Hibernian Society- REGULAR TOASTS. 1st.

The book had been lost nearly two weeks, but twenty-four hours after the advertisement appeared in the Sun the money was brought to the counting-room of that paper, where the finder received the re ward of $100, offered for its recovery. The secret of the matter is thi«: The Baltimore Sun is a cheap neutral and independent jour- nal, having far tho largest circulation in the city, and being ably acd industriously conducted, is read by all parties and oil classes of tlip people. Every body that reads can afford to take the Sun, and as the Sun contains all the news and no par tisan politics, every body rends it. so that if. a Naval.—The U. S. ship Erie, Capt.

VOLUNTEER TOASTS. By G. B. Gumming, President.—The Orator of the Day—If poetic fancy, puriiy of diction, graceful declamation, be eloquence, he iia9 won the distinction of the eloquent orator. By R. H. Griffin. Vice President of the Soci ety —0"r Sister Society in Charleston—God Mfss her and ad her tnetnhe - *. lion of Baltimore at once, he has only to pur. an advertisement in the Sun, where it is ascer tain to be seen by every reading man, woman, and child, as if it were a ‘‘black spot” on the Sun in the Heavens. Tho object of an advertiser is not to have the exclusive privilege of reading his own ad-' vertisement, nor to confine its circulation to his own particular party. However decided politician he may be. he is very willing that his fellow-citizens of the opposite side and of ull classes shull he informed by bis advertise ment. What medium then so well suited to give quick nnd general circulation to the ad vertisements of business men, as a cheap reada ble independent newspaper, that is within the reach of all, nnd is read by most of the people composing the community in which it is pub lished 7 We think that those most interested will agree with us in answering that there is none. While on this subject of ndvertiseing, we mny as well remark that while we bold our columns open for the admission of all proper advertise ments, we are determined to admit none in our columns that are not fit to have currency in the family circle. We know, and we are proud oflho fact, that the News is extensively read by the ladies and in the family, and we tuke this occa sion to assure our lady patrons thBt nothing shall ever appear in its reading or advertising columns that muy justly he considered offen sive to a correct sense of propriety. We huve boon induced to allude .to this subject by the receipt of several advertisements from a Philadelphia Houso, the publication of which in tho News we have declined, for the reason that we conceive such matter out of place in the columns of a respectable newspaper. Mrs. Howard.—This lady who some months since killed the paramour of her hus band, Capt Howard, at Cincinnati, hus been appointed guardian of her children, who by tho death of their father has been left some $40,000 worth of property. Capt. Howard was, we be lieve, after the unfortunate affair at. Cincinnati, killed in an affray at 8t. Louis.—Mrs. Howard has recovered entirely her reason, and made Mr. Forrest.—Publio opinion in N. York, says the Times, of that city, is setting very strongly against Mr. Forrest since the publi cation of the calm, eloquent* nnd earnest re plication of his wifo to tho infamous charges he litu at tho last hour brought against her. The (act that Mr. Forrest, after the aeparu- tion, brought his wife to New-York and piuccd her under the protection of his own cherished and pcrsunul friends, nt the same time pro nouncing ber stainless and blameless in every thing relating to her honoi—weighs heavily, Heavily against Mr. Forrest. It is not con ceivable tlmt he should have repudiated his wife for a minor cause, und subsequently dis covered that she had been unfuithful. Such in cidents do not occur any where out of the drama. Nor dues any one believe that Mr. Forrest would have presumed to place his wife under the core of such men as Parke Godwin and William C. Bryant, and in intimate com munion with their wives and families, had lie possessed irri fraguble proofs of her being a dishonored woman. < No—it is too evidently an idle tale, basely manufactured for base pur poses. If Mi. Forrest no longer loves his wife, it ia certainly enough that ho should cast her off—drive her forth from her home uud the protection he had sworn to vouchsafe through life to her, und compel her to seek a home among strangers. He surely might have spared her good name—henceforth her only posses sion on earth—und not sought to crush and overwhelm her beneath a world of disgrace, that hemight be tree. Public opinion sooner or later avenges such outrages us these. We still think our solution of this afloir the correct one. Mr. Forrest, first spoiled by a too indulgent public, then chagrined and mor tified to the quick by what was perhaps the too fastidious judgment of a transatlantic public, became soured aguinst the world; and nursing his morbid discontent, allowed it to pray upon his mind until it unsettled his reason. If we discard this belief, wo are driven to attribute to him such baseness and malignity of lienrt ns nothing short of the strongest proof should be uilowed to fix upon the character of a man. Imigration from Tennessee.—The Chat- anooga Advertiser of the 13th inst says:—On visiting the River yesterday morning, we found three or four Emigrant Boats at our landing, having on board in the nagregate, about 200 Emigrants, principally from Hancock county in this State, and b *und to Missouri and Iowa. ESP The New York Times says the house in which poor Charlotte Temple died is still stand ing at tho corner of Pell st. and Bowery, where the stages stop, and tho house from which she was turned nwuy by the infernal La Rue stands in Pearl st., just below Franklin Square. It is called the Walton House, nnd is built in old- fashioned style, with little carved images over the door. 13P In Troy N. Y.thore are thirteen flouring milis now in operation employing 52 run of stones. During the year ending 1st inst those mills consumed 1,278,204 bushels of wheat from which was produced 282,404 bids of flour, valued at $1,411,020. The whole amount of capitaLinvested in the mills is $450,000. [3^ A Washington letter writer says:—“At no former period hns this city been more re sorted to than during the present season, by persons of leisure, fashion, and wealth. They bring with them their fnmilies, and in some in stances, private equipages. Jt is n matter of certainty that the facilities of travel, and the gradual accumulation of wealth in the country will render Washington the winter resort of thousands of wealthy and intelligent persons from all parts of the country. Before long it will become tho fnshiort for persons of leisure to reside hero during o part of tho year, and to live in a hospitable nnd ole gant* manner, in their own private mansions. Formerly, and perhaps even now, to a consid erable extent, the men of wealth and leisure wore of the whig or nt least conservative school of politics. For this reason, they were for twenty years, perhaps, indifferent to Wash ington official society, if not averse to it. But I have been told by those most likely to know the facts, that had Mr. Clay been elected Presi dent in 1844, some twenty families in one Northern city would have immediately eslab lished winter residences here.” How unfortunate ! Mr. Clay should have been elected, if fur no other purpose thun the improvement of Washington Society. •The Plot to Murder Kossuth.-ZaI " from London to the Philadelphia North I ricun, gives the following account of th e r to mui der Kossuth and his companions • ^ “I liuvo before alluded to a diabolical nl the Austrian government to murder the guislted Kossuth. Cotint Stuvtner, it j 8 "''I 6 ' planned the awful conspiracy against the Kossuth, and against several other n !• prisoners. Thfeplot was communicated !' Cal poor Hungarian by a Frenchman, who 1 ° 11 the former some money for the expenses journey to Schttmla. The Hungarian vZ companied by fifteen persons, nnd he structed to liberate certain refugees whe" i arrived at Schuntla ; but lie was detained " Constantinople by his passport. He v ' * l thd family of Hungarians and spoke of hira d tended plans. The doughter .if the masts the bouse warned the Hungarian nut to 01 ceed to Schumla, because her lover, u C ^ and his companions were engaged to mu r "| , “’ him and other Hungarians. The whole •piracy w“s Rt once disclosed to ti e MiniT" of Foreign Affairs. It was an infernal nl ’ und worthy of tho associates of Haynau' f, pears that Kossuth und his friends we.e (0 T warned that they would,he poisoned; the hi rp | assassins of Austria (the Croats)—assisted too, by a sincere mid innocent Hungarian— to represent to Kossuth that they would lib.' ate him and his friends, and after they had e- caped from Schumla, they intended to f o || 0 ^' litem and murder every man on the road! For tunately. the whole plot was disclosed in tij' to stive many valuable lives. The Porte imm* dintely inquired into the affair, and arrested lj Croats, who were hired by Austria to accum- plhh the horrid job. It is said thut the French man who loaned the Hungarian money Wa . „ aware of the plot.’’ A Carnival Incident at RoME.-The young personal application to the court to bo appoin- ...

Express Mail at the South.—Wo learn from the New Orleans Bulletin, of the 4ili inst, that through the exertions of Senator Soule, who is on the post-office committee in the Sen ate, nnd Mr. Conrad, representative from New Orleans, there is every prospect of having the matter of tho great southern mtiii expressed over the present couch routes, from the term: nos of Georgia raiiroud nt Griffin to the termi nus of the Montgomery railroad in Alabama and also between Montgomery nnd Mobile,by all ofwliich the present tinto between New Orleans and New York will be shortened 48 hours. Ex change slips for the public press will bo trans mitted by the express. Murders in St. Louis.—Eleven persons are now confined in tho jail of St. Louis awaiting their trial for murder. Tho latest murder there is that of Charles McGalaghrr, a coffee-house keeper, killed on the 28th ult., in a drunken quarrel with a man named Michael Graham. Important Mail Decision.—The Post master General has just decided that the differ ent Departments of the Government are pr^ hibited from sending letters nnd newspaper to officers and ieumen in the Navy, nnd U. 8 officers in foreign countries, except those on official business from the Departments. It hus been the custom, for many years, for the friends of those persons to forward private letters to them through the Departments, Di stend of through tho regular mail, nnd thus defraud the department of thousands of dollars annually of its legitimate claims. We afro learn that there are* some thousands of letters now in Washington which will not be sent, as heretofore, through the department-.. Prince Musignana, son of the Prince of Canino nnd grand son of Joseph Bonaparte, visited this country a few years ago.. To those w {, 0 temember him the folio wirg account of a nan. ling and almost tragical incident in Rome, ns the 10th of February, will prove interesting. A I Roman journal says : j “Yesterday, ut about a quarter to five to. wiH'ds the end of the Corso, which was vert brilliunt, a magnificent nosegay of white Corn elias. concealing u grenade of glass, wnsthinnu into the carriage of the Prince of Musignani* son of the Prince ol Canino, while nppo,iu> Palace Bernini. The Prince took it, and writ uboul to present it to his sister, who was beside him in the carriage, but who was fortunately engaged in throwing flowers to the persons th-.t occupied the balcony of the Palace llcrnini. Tho Prince, therefore, waited till she had donr, eating his hapd with the nosegay tin his thigh! when suddenly the grenade hurst. The Prince was severely wounded in his right hand, be tween the thumb and forefinger, nnd still mom so in his thigh, in.whicli fragments of glass bad penetrated so deep, that, the artery was near being lacerated. His sister was slightly wound ed in her leg and side, and fell into it swuon. Immediately after the explosion the Prince alighted, and with the assistance i f the bystand ers, t&rried his sister into the Palace Bernini, where the head sergeant of the French army, who happened to bo on the spot, 'immediately gave them the necessa y assistance.’.’ Washington Monument — The Maryland Bloch.—One Legfrlat i re, before udjournmtmt, provided for a dock of nimble firm Maryland, tor tho Washington Monument, now in the course of erection ut Washington City, and di rected that, in nd iili-n to the coai-of-aiinsnf the State, the following inscription be placed upon the block : Maryland—the memorial of her regard for the Father of his Country; and of her “cordial habitual, and immovable attachment, to the Anterican Union.” Is it not time that Georgia should take game tops towards getting in readiness, her con tribution to tliis great national work. Thrre is sorely no lack of* patriotism among our peo ple nor of superior marble in our mountuius. Shorter Route to California.—A cor respondent of the New York Herald, writing from Leon do Nicaragua, under date of tbe 11th ult-, says: “I met Mr. White, agent of the canal com pany, in Granada, a few days ago. Ho hat examined the route for immediate transit, and finds hut 12 miles oflund travel. The passage can he made from seu to sea in 36 hours and it is said one week of time w ill be saved to the steamers—two duys on the Atlantic and four on the Pacific. If sjj—and there is no doubt ol the fact—the route to California will be short ened not less than, eight days.” “Tts the Mecca of the States."-h person who accumpanied Gen. Taylor, in his late visit to Richmond, gives the following dr. scription of the scene as the steamboat pasted Mount Vernon: We were now passing Mount Vernon. T! ,e President approached the guards of the boat, and gazed ut it vo;y attentively. Some one remarked, “For fifty years no hunt or ship l |Sl ' passed this spot, where lie the remains of tbe illustrious dead, without paying the solemn compliment of tolling their hell while passing- No such honor was ever paid to the memory o- uny of the great dead.” “Tis the Mecca of the States.” solemnly added tho President, .without, for a moment moving his eyes from the spot.
