Monday Morning, May 13, 1830.
BTlVfl arc requested to state that the newly-
appointed members of the Savannah Board of
Health will meet ot the Exchange to-dny, at 12
o’clock, for the purposo of organizing. A full
attendance of tho Board is desired.
Lecture To-nioht.—It will bo soon by the
card in another column that Mr. Schkub, the
distinguished lecturer on Italian l’oetry, will
deliver one of his popular course of lectures
this evening at Armory Hall. A writer in the
Boiton Traveller, speaking of a lecture on Po
etry, delivored by M,*'. Schebb in that city, re
marks :
“ I wished every deep-hearted mother in the
city had been at this most touching and eleva
ting lecture, and 1 believe they would he in
clined to forego much of tho expense usually
laid out on merely external accomplishments,
hi order to give to their daughters the privilege
and advantage of attending the insituctions of
this unquestionably poetical teacher, so gifted
in “ the vision and fuculiy divine.” and not
wanting either in tho “ accomplishments of
verse,” as >vns evinced by tho beautiful transla
tion with which he closed his discourse.”
We understand that it is the intention of Mr.
S., should ho meet with proper encouragomcnt
from our citizens, to give a selection from his
course of lectures on the poetry of Dante, Pe
trarch and Tasso. A lecturer who has won
such popularity in other cities will, wo trust, bo
duly appreciated by our public.
:ir We seo it announced in the Augusta
papers, that tho steamer Hancock, Copt. Mur
ray, will make a pleasure trip from that city to
Savannah, on Tuesday, returning on Saturday.
We hope tho steumer may come well freighted
with our Augusta friends. Tho trip cannot fail
to bo a pleasant one at this season of the year,
when tho trees and shrubbery arc in full filing •,
and wear their brightest colors; uud we feel
assured that they will meet u cordial welcome
from our citizens.
The Tunnel.—The Chorokeo Advocato of
Monday, says : We learn from Col. Mitchell
the chief engineer that he proposes to make to
day the first trip through tho Tunnel to Chat
tanooga. It is expected that the work will be
in readiness for the passage of the ears.
The steamer Rhode Island U probably safe.
She Sailed from New York for San Francisco
in January, and was reportod to havo been
lost near Bermuda with all her crow. Som-*
hope for her safety ts now given by the Capt.
of tho bark Lobelia Hyne, who reports that on
coming out of tho port of Eio, in March Inst,
ho saw an American steamer of great length,
under sail, going in. From several circumstan
ces she is thought to be the Rhode Island.
E3F“ Hon. Henry A. Wise has been appoint
ed a delegate to the Nashville Convention from
Virginia, by a convention of the Congressional
district in which he resides, though bis own
county of Aceommac was not represented
therein. Mr. Cluybrook is tho Whig delegate.
or On this great question of Freedom or
Slavery,—says tho Hon. Horace Munn in a let
ter to his constituents,—l have observed with
grief, nay, with anguish, that we at tho North
break up into hostile parties, hurl criminations
and recriminations to and fro, anti expend the
strength, for the ruin of each other, which
should be diree'ed against the enemies of liber
ty ; while, at the South, whenever slavery is in
jeopardy, all party lines are obliterated, dissen-
tious are he.ilod, enemies become friends, and
all are found tu u. solid column, with on unbro
ken front. Are tho children of darkness to bo
forever wiser than tho children of light 7
Children of darkness ! Mr. Mann’s own
eyes aro so completely clouded over with abo
litionism that ho can see nothing hut ‘darkness’
whichever way he turns. In this ‘ solemn col
umn’ of tho South, sensible men *ee the pun
and holy sentiment of patriotism which always
obliterates party lines, and which Mr. Mann will
find that his constituents can never overcomp,
however enlightened they may be. When Mr.
Mann becomes older ho will become, we hope,
wiser and better, and before he calls those who
disagree with him “children of darkness,” ho
bad best grope his own way out into the light of
common sense and reason.—A’. Y. Day Book.
SPThe Steamship Isabel. Capt. Rollins,
arrived at Tybeo on Friday night, and delivered
her mails and passengers for this city, on board
the steamer Gen. Clinch, Capt. Curry. We
understand she had one hundred nnd eig ty
passengers. By this ai rival we are placed in
possession of our Havana correspondence,
which will be found in another part of our
paper to-day.
Our correspondent informs us that tho Chol
era had increased somewhat sin.e his last com.
munieation, but svas again on the declme. Its
influence had not been general, being chiefly
confined to particular localities which are rather
unhealthy at nil times, from their position or
the character of the population. It has like
wise, so far, been almost entirely restricted to
persous of indifferent circumstances at regards
their dwellings and food.
fejpr.A fiie occurred at Dolton, on the night
the 3d inst., by which two houses belonging
Jaylet were consumed. The
barely escaped with the clothes
ft, his fiirnituid being entirely de-
From California.
By the arrival at New York of the steamers
Empire City, Georgia, and Cherokee, San
Francisco dates to the 1st of April have been
ieceivpd.
The Georgia brings 146 passengers, nnd
$874,760 in gold. The Empiro City, on her
passage from Chngrcs, met with an accident,
by which she was deprived of tho use of one of
her paddle-wheels, and by which her arrival
was considerably delayed.
Tho Cherokee brought $1,681,580 in gold
dust.
Wo extract tho most interesting items of
news brought by this urrival.
Tho day previous to tho sailing of the Cali
fornia, tho collector of tho customs in San
Francisco was notified that tho monev collected
for duties must be paid over to tho Slate Gov
ernment, in accordance with a resoluiion
passed by tho Legislature, and steps aro being
taken to form un independent Government.
Goinmodore Jones, it is said, is about to take
aclive measures to provont it.
A law has passed the Legislature imposing n
tnx of 25 dollars a month on every foreigner
who works in tho mines.
A bill has been introduced in the Assembly
to provide for the inspection of steamboats at
San Francisco. Also a bill to suppress gnin-
blii'g.
A resolution was ndopted, instructing the
judiciary committee to prepare a report at as
early a day ns possible, a bill to prevent the
immigration of all persons rot cilizens of the
United States, from any of the penal settlements
of Europe. A bill of that description was re
ported on the 29th of March.
An Act to incorporate tho city of San Fran
cisco has passed tho Senate.
Nine district Judges had been elected, and
their salaries fixed at $7,500 per annum.
Business of every description has been very
dull this month. Tho long looked for crisis
seems to have arrived. Merchandise of every
kind is unsaleable at any tiling like fair rates.
At auction, enormous sacrifices have been
made. Lumber, which three months ago
brought $300 to 350 easily, lias been sold ashore
at $40 per M.
Rents also continued to lio very high, $1 per
month per square foot of floor being about one
price, oi 200 per month fora room 10 It- by 20.
Furniture of all kinds is very high, This is
in consequence of the arrival ot ladies*
Tho miners aro comm ncing their summer
operations. It is estimated that over 100,000
are cith'T in or on their way to the mines.
This immense number ot diggers will soon
sond a current of gold to San Francisco, in
view of which business affair are beginning to
look easier.
The appearance of Sm Francisco, is con
stantly changing. Now buildings aro spring
ing up in every direction, many parties taking
advantage of the low price of lumber and building
materials
In tho monev market the rate of interest
may bo quoted still a- 10 percent, p»r month
f ir wo have not y-.t got to entertain a loss rate.
The truth is ihore is at prosimt no business
that willjustify paying tne former rates.
Tho ingress of so many strangers lust winter
created a demand for houses und carpenters,
and tho price of lumber was kopt up, nod with
it, wages. Eating houses sprung up, not hi
evety corner, hut at every step. Largo hotels
and restaurants, furnished most extravagantly,
soon got under way. and for a timo flourished.
Their day is past For a week or so, scarcely
a day passed that some hotel or first ’class res
taurant did not close, and tho eating housus
without number.
Competition among mechanics soon brought
>wn the price of wag' s. A man cannot live
here without money, and mechanics who were
without it sufficient to enier into business, turn
od enrtmen or laborers. Carting has been n>
ontomptible business here during the Winter.
It was quite acommon thing for a team to clear
$75 nnd $100 per day. Carting two has suf
fered, ami 30 per day is a good average now.
llich diggings are reported to have been dis
covered on the Culeveras, and near Las Ange
los. There is a gn at rush toward tho Trinity,
where the miners are said to bo making $100
per day.
A lot of imitation gold dost was received
from Sacramento, by one of onr commission
houses. The lumps very closely resemble those
taken from tho cold diggings.
At Here's concert on the 2d tilt., tho price of
tickets was $6 for the boxes, and $2 for tho
pit.
The San Fruncisco Journal announces the dis
covery, near that place, of what has the appear
ance of a rich mine of coal, which promises an
ample supply of that most important material
of fuel, both for domestic purposes, and those,
especially of steam navigation. We notice an
advertisement in tho Pacific News, for a practi
cal engineer, who has hud experience in the
mining districts of Pennsylvania, which has,
probably, some ennnoxion with this discovery.
[Correspondence of the Dally Morning News.]
New York, May 7th, 1850.
As 1 expected, there was a disturbance this
morning at dio meeting of tho Anti-Slavery
Society, in the Tabernacle, and unless tho Po
lice eject tho disturbers of the proceedings,
the meeting must bo broken up. I was 9orry
to seo on tho platform, somo clergymen of good
standing and respectability, because, really,
the association with such men as Lloyd Gurri-
son, nigger Douglas, and the like, is highly dis
graceful. Garrison’s speech was blasphemous
in tho extreme : he abused Christianity, the
institutions of the country, tho President, &c.;
and, indeed, to such great length did he pro
ceed, that a majority of tho audience hissed.
At this time, the notorious Ryndcrs and his
gang appeared, and took possession ot the
hack part of tho stage, and refused to allow
Gurrison to proceed. A scene ensued that. I
cunnot describe,—it wns very disgraceful,
though very ludicrous ; and the colored peo
ple, particularly, were in a state of violent
excitement. Thu Chief of Police, and a posse
of officers "soon appeared, und I presumed that
it was their duty to protect the speakers in
their right to speak, unless they were put down
by a majority of the meeting, and not by a few
rowdy blackguards. But they looked on very
complacently, and seemed rather to enjoy the
exhibition. When quietness wns in some
moasure restored, nigger Douglas made a
speech; but tho running accompaniment by
tlie rowdies rendered tho scene remarknbly
droll. Ho stated that Van Boron was his half-
brother, when someone exclaimed, “You lie
you nigger.”; Then another darky presumed
to expostulate with the fellows, and insisted
that it was ,not according to parliamentary
sngo to interrupt a gem man when speaking.
This excited a row, and in this way tho pro
ceedings are'progressing, ns I write. It is very
dear that royydyism, unless repressod by the
Mayor, will prevail; and the Anti-Slavery meet
ings must be adjourned sine die : for the very
nature of the assemblages, and the sentiments
that must, of necessity, be expressed at them,
render them obnoxious and offensive to a very
largo portion of the community. I shall be
able, to give you more particulars to-morrow.
l'he Empire City and Georgia arrived this
morning, and the Chorokeo is hourly expected,
with nearly two millions of gold dust from Cali
fornia. The news is a month Inter, but it i<
very uninteresting; indeed, we have yet only the
skeleton of it. Travel towards the southern
mines is increasing every day, and the prospects
in that region, the coming season, nre more flat
tering than last year. New placers aro dis
covered as explorations are made by our ndven
turous citizens, and new towns laid out as the
population increases.
The Pacific News says : “ We are gratified
to learn that Mr. Henri Herz, having completed
his arrangements, will give his first concert in
San Francisco on Tuesday evening next.”
Matters nre dull at San Francisco, but tho
opening of tho Spring wns causing a reviva’.

A OnivcCsniy of the American Anti-Slavery
Society,
The city of New-Yoak is annually disgraced
by an assemblage within its'limits ofnll the cra
zy men and half witted women out of hospital
bounds in tho Union; and we venture to say
that if the reader could be suddenly set down
in the midst of tho motley crowd of * 1 black
spirits and white, blue spirits and grey,” now
convened in the Tubernnole, his first impression
would be that he had, in a clairvoyant sleep,
been conveyed to Bedlam.
We find in the N. Y. Commercial, a detailed
account of the proceedings of the Anti-Slavery
Socioiy, from which wo make the following ex
tracts.
After tho organization of the meeting, which,
ns usual, was composed of nearly an equal num
ber of blacks und whites, male und 1 omnle, the
notorious, we may suv tho infamous, Lloyd
Garrison proceeded to address tho inoeting.
He commenced hy denouncing the Christian
churches, of all denominations, in most unmea
sured terms, and then proceeded to attach the
inspiration of the Bible.
The question of inspiration, he said, was
worth nothing in the present age. The
greatest amount of immorality was compatible tlll
with the highest degrde of veneration. The hand to strike Douglass or any one else, he (thi
Bib’e hud become the most popular, the most chief) would take him (Rynders) to the Tomb

we observed the chief of police on il, 0 J

protection of the police. The presence „r .1’®

and fiis backors in check. ' r ‘
Frederick Douglass was the next speak,.,
and the excuementbcgnr again. The plutforn
presented a singular appearance. On iti„ ft,, 7
end were the chief of police and his men o
tho Southern end Capt. Rynders and a j
of his,friends and others. Lro " d
Douglass at first stood behind the chairm

The correspondent of the Bal timoro Sun
under date of May 8, says—
Tho report of the Compromise Committee
was rend by Mr. Clay, and agreed substantial
ly with the hints which were thrown out from
time to time by the press. Tile committee re
ported hills, not mere recommendaiions; and
the impression created by tho Report was ex
ceedingly favorable, and if it did not convince
und satisfy ail tho Senators present, if it did
not content the ultras, North and Sooth, the
probability is that the bills accompanying the
report aro really what they pretend to he—
compromises—not things thnt nre to satisfy
either section of tho country.
Tho debate which sprung up on tho motion
to print corobornies tho a ove. Tho Southern
ultras, including Mr. Clemen6. woreugainst tho
report, and so was Mr. Hale, of New Hamp
shire. If the extreme Southern men will
throw obstacles in the wav of settling the vex
ed question, the inevitable alternative will be
that California will come in by itself.
We shall have Southern and Northern fanat
icism. disunionists South and North; but they
will bo put down, as they must be, by the hon
est patriots who occupy tho centre. Meantime
it will be well for the South to know that Da-
vis, of Massachusetts, and Clemens, of Alu-
linmn, have announced their intention to vote
with Col. Benton.

Tho Central Committee of the British Amer

which they represent the duty of tho Canadians
to be to urge our Legislature, by petition, t

both houses of I'arliarr.ent, praying them to au

Shocking Murder in Delaware.—Ono

with regard to ordinances, und public worship.
These were not evidences of moral character,
because observance of them is fushionablo nnd
therefore worthless. All churches organisa
tions were no more sacred than tho boots arj

Ditto to the observance of the Sabbath. Tilt
dogma that the observance of the Sabbath day
will save this nation, tho speaker denounced
ns a “dogma that would damn tho nation.”
Ditto faith in Christ. Tins belief in Jesus

Someone in the audience responded, oppar

Mr. Garrison continued—“I say no. In this

Some one in the audience, unable longer to
control his emotions, called out, “This cunnot
be tolerated. It cannot be endured by the peo
ple of tho United States,” nnd considerable
exc itement prevailed all ovor the house.
Capt. Rynders, who, it subsequently became
evident, went there with others to put a slop to
the meeting, took-advantage of this hurst of
outraged feeling, and standing up in his sent,
with violent-gesticulation declined be would
not hear the chief magistrate of his country
ahusod thus. It was a disgr tee for Americans
to tolerate it. If the speaker would not eon-
fine himself to his subject, hut would attack
tho President, he for ono would stop him or put
him out. v
This was the signal for such a disturbance ns
we have rarely seen in a public meeting. The
ndignatiou against the speaker was almost uni
versal, but Rvuder’s violence and evident seek
ing occasion for a disturbance, to some extent
diverted this auger from the speaker by cron ting
a counter excitement. Still it was strongly and
generally expressed.
Rynders sprung upon tho platform,nnd protes
ted against these allusions to the President.
Others remonstrated strongly against the blas
phemies of the speaker. Some said it was an
nstilt to the people of America to listen to them.
Others that is was beneath a man to utter them,
and a universal indignation seemed to be direc
ted against Mr. Garrison nnd those associated
with him.
This uproar continued for ten or fifteen min
utes. Rynders shouting to the.nudience from
the platform, nad persons crowding around hint
and around Garrison und others. Capt. Leon
ard, of the Second Ward police, and one or two
other officers, mingled with the crowd and tri
ed to quiet Rynders. At one time the police
seem -d disposed to remove him, hut it wus evi-
lent that such a step would involve a universal
riot, nnd they prttd ntly confined themselves to
conciliatory mensuros.
On the first threat to remove Rynders a very
numerous body of men, apparently ripe for mis
chief, loudly declared their determination to
protect, him, nnd put out the anti-slavery speak
ers. Others again were fjrquietly taking t<os-
session of the platform, “for,” stud they, “this
can ho borne no longer. Here we want peuco
and union ; and it is timo this wns stopped.”
Those and similar expressions, and some a
great deal more violent, wero heard in all di
rections, which we care not to repeat.
At length comparative quiet was restored ;
not until, however, things wore a very threaten
ing aspect, nnd several of the female part of the
nudience had retired, and many of both sexes
wern preparing to follow.
During this commotion the Hutchinson fam
ily, who sit in the gullery, commenced one of
their songs, hoping to arrest attontion and cllay
tho excrement ,The experiment was n most
signal failure. For n long time they wero only
heard hy thoso near them, and oven thpy puid
them little or no attention.
When they began to be heard, Rynders stood
upon the platform, impotently shaking his fist
at thorn, and heaping upon them epithets which
only ti Rvnders could employ. By request of
tho pnlico they wero asked to desist, and com
plied.
Mr. Gatrison then continued, amid seme in
terruptions und hisses and remonstrances, his
sickening und disgusting blasphemies, until by
the mere sufferance of the audience he hud
wearied himself out. Ho spoke in a very sub
dued manner.
Then followed another uproar, similar to the
former, hut not of so long duration, nor so vio
lent in its character. There were calls for
“ Rynders,” “ Grant,"’ &c.
Mr. Garrison announced thot the Rev. Dr.
Furniss would now address the meeting, and
that gentlemen stepped forward for the pur
pose.
Capt. Rynders insisted that Garrison had
promised him. an opportunity of speaking
when he had. done, and he duimed the floor for
Mr. Grant, in his stead.
There wns more “noise and confusion,” ind
. , - ) io the Tombi
without n moment s hesitation.
Rynders evidently saw that the chief was in
earnest, and we folt. pretty ennfidcnt than Ren
ders would thereafter confine himself to words
After the row the m nigra! b.idlant adjourned
to the Society Library Lecture Room, where
nn attempt was made to ronew their disgrace
ful orgies. But at the evening meeting, accor
ding to the Commercial, speakers as well as
hearers lost their temper, und tho meo ing
broke up in a very short time, a hearing not
being allowed to any. It was very evident that
a systematic interruption hud been resolved up-
„n, and it is doubtful whether any more of the
meetings can be held this year.
From Oregon —Advices form the Colum
bia river to the 21st of February had hern re
ceived at Ban Francisco. Business was at a
stand still, on account of the low price of lum
ber at Sao Francisco, and the high price of la
bor, caus' d hy the emigration to the mining re
gion. Provisions were very high ; butter was
selling at $1,50 per pound, and tho general
range of prices was above the San Frai.cisco
market.

Diabolical Outrage.—Wo hive to record
one of tho most diabolical outrages that has
ever boon perpetrated in this community.
Friday an attempt was made, and was partial
ly successful. to blow up the buiidingin which
is tho Mayor, by means of a six inch hand
grenade. The grenade was placed in tho en
try, near the door, in the second story. The
explosion was very severe. The dour of.the
Mayor's office was suattered into fragments,
pieces of th" missile penetrating the ceiling
and wads, and doing considerable damage. A
piece of urenaile wus picked up from the flour,
where it had fallen alter striking ugainst one of
the timbers over bead. Tho door of tho Hon.
Rejoico Newton’s office was also shattered,
and another piece of the grenade found up"n
the floor. Tho door of Gen. Day's office win
also shattered.
A ttiinl piece of tho missile druve through
the stairs and through the brick wall in the
back of the building, displacing several bricks.
A hole was also blown through two floors into
Hall and Thomson’s celler, und the plastering
in the entry wns torn off. Tho walis of the
building were moved from their foundation,
exhibiting a gap about half nil inch wide, a tl
giving an impression that a little more powder
would have left them-a mass f ruin, be
possible motivo enn be assigned for tho act,
and w hether it were done front a spirit of ma
licious mischief, or from a desire to blow up
the billinrd room in the third story. <>r the May
