On the 4th of March, Captain Lockycr, in the Ma dia, (acting on the requisition of the Chinese local au thorities,) attacked and destroyed, in Mirs Bay, a fleet of 30 piratical junks, mounting front 8 to 18 guns each. 220 or the pirates were killed and 20 captured; 600 nude their escape under cover of night. Capt. Lock- yer accomplished this service without a casually of any kind on his side. In trade at Cnntou, there is little change to report.— The Market for manufactured goods is rather lower, but it is expected to recover. In tea there is very little doing for England.

The Roman question is about to become entangled in the mnzes of diplomacy, ond it may be some time before the Pope will be able to extricate himself from Chancery. A communication which has lately emanated from the Court of Berlin, has served to take the Catholic powers, as they are pleas ed to consider themselves, somewhat aback. Wheth er it be on uccount of the jealous rivalry that has sprung up between Berlin and Vienna, or whether it bo the case that Lord Palmerston for soke of strength ening himself in his position between Austria and France, boa suggested to Prussia tho step she has ta ken, the latter power has signified that she does not mean to allow a question of such immense general importance (o be settled without her concurrence. It is complained that hitherto no official institutions have been mode of the proceedings of other powers, while it is contended that although Prussia be what is called a Protestant power, yet that her Rhenish and other Roman Catholic subjects oblige her to look nar rowly to the dealings of the great powers with the Court of Rome. In fact. Prussia contends that she has ns good a right as England, to take a partin this, question. England, it is said, sustains the claims oi Prussia, so that neither Austria on the one hand, or France on the other, or, what is more to the pur pose. both by collusion, will be able to make cheap merchandize of the Roman people. The Free Press says:—It is announced that n Re publican movement has broken out in Iceland, and that the Danish governor has been driven away.

Two steamers have been sent with troops to chnstise the insurgents.’' ( Stafford, England. Stafford and the neighborhood were on Wednesday alnrmed by a report, which turn ed out quito correct, of a most tragical event having taken place at Ingestre, the seat of Earl Talbot. It seems that Mr. Yarker, head game keeper to Earl Tal bot, who was recovering from an attack of delirum tremens, was attended by Walter Murray, the person who was placed in charge of him by the advice oi his medical adviser, Mr. Waddell, of Stafford, who had repeatedly given instructions thnt any weapon with which he could possibly do any injury should be cau tiously kept from him, and also that he should be strict ly watched. It appears, however, that Murray, who is an under keeper, about 6 o’clock on Tuesday evening incau tiously allowed Yarker to take out a gun, in company with him, for the purpose of shooting jackdaws. Af ter they had proceeded about u mile Yarker shot Mur ray with a bullet: Yarker then returned home, leav ing bis victim dead in a kind of a tower or temple. The servant girl was in the kitchen when Yarker ar rived there, taking tea, with an inihut in her arms; he opened the door, and shot her dead through the heud, the child falling unhurt to the ground. Yarker’s sister, who is the widow of a medical gen tleman, was in the small apartment, not more than three yards from him ; he levelled the gun at her, and she shifting her position he lowered his gun from his shoulder; again levelled and tired; she distinctly saw the flesh, and immediately moved her head and es caped with two shots in fior face; Y’arker then ran into the wood with his gun unloaded. His wife, who was in the yard, followed him. In about ten minutes from this time Yarker’s sister heard the report of a gun, and in abiut two minutes afterwards the report of anoth er. Mr. Waddell, the surgeon, was immediately sent for from Stafford, and oh his arrival ut the scene found Yarker and his wife lying about five yards dis tant from each other, Mrs. Yarker having been shot through the heart, and the upper part of Y’arker’s head being entirely blown off, taking with it nearly tho whole of the contents of the skull. is, the skirt with deep flounces, edged by a pined ruclt, the body of the square form, encircled by u ruche and silk lace; and also on tho body, forming brondenbourgs, diminishing to Hie waist; the sleeve* open at Hie side of tho arm and terminating in n square form, with niches and lace. The very open kind of embroidery termed a la Angloise hus been so much admired, that it has led to the imitation ot it in silk flounces of spring taffetas; the effect is ex tremely light.

A venr or two ago, it will be recollected, tile Countess of Oorlltz was shockingly murdered at Darmstadt. Suspicion fell on her husband, who held the post of chamberlain to the Grand Duke. The tri al terminated u few weeks ago The Count was en tirely acquitted, and the crime fixed on John fitautl, his valet. The body of the Countess was discovered in her chamber, and it was burned in so singular a manner that it was supposed that death resulted from spontaneous combustion. The medical evidence on the trial was curious and interesting. Home of the most eminent physicians of, Germany, and Baron Lie big, the celebrated chemist, were desired by the court to givetheiropinion wlieHier spontaneous combustion in her case was probable. The medical men per formed several experiments on dead bodies exposed to fire, placing burning furniture, and even u fac-siml- le of the secretary, in a closed room, to ascertain whether Hie extensive carbonization of the body of tlie countesss could have been produced by accident, and they reported posiHvely to the contrary. On the question of spontaneous combustion, Baron Liebig, and the otiier scientific men who joined in the report, declared that not only was it impossible in the case of tlfe Countess, but that spontaneous combustion of the human body in any ca.se wns impossible. They de clared that the ordinary belief on this subject was a delusion; that they had carefully examined Hie evi dence in nll the cases of spontaneous combustion Hiat have been reported, and found it ull so defective us not to weigh for nn instant against Hieir conviction ol the physicul impossibility of such un occurrence. A Gratis Spree.—The Clare (Ireland) Journal says that a few dnvs ago several spirit dealers sent ill sam ples of whiskey, according to order, in a competition for Hie contract to supply Hie Gort uuion with that native beverage, to be used, of course, only medici nally. There were a good many samples, and the guardians, of course, deemed it their duty to taste all. But it never occurred to them thnt whiskey, even when taken ill Hie course of duty, lias certain effects, even upon boards.

A man who keeps a small boarding house re fused to take a certain family because they refused to pay, in addiHnn to a very high price for other accom modations, eight dollars a week rent for a parlor to themselves. This eight dollars a week is rather more than a lair price for the whole house, throwing in two stables and n pig-sty ; hut thern is no more con silience in a boarding-house keeper than there is soul in a corporation.

Chattanooga, May 18, 1850. YV. T. Thompson, Esq.: My Dear Sir: This city begins to linvo the ap pearance of leisure, notwithstanding tlie River con tinues in fine boating order. The cotton from North Altibamn being nearly all forwarded to market, and there being no ready sale for tho other produce now in store, such as Flour, Bacon, &c., of course busi ness wears a dull appearance, oncl must continue so, until tho mnrket shall hold out the proper induce ments to plnnters to forward Hie products of their la bors. How long will it be beforo tlie people of your city, (and Hio country surrounding it,) are ready to substitute the produce of this section, for that from the NorHi and West ? When they are ready to do this, you will sec renewed life in the trade of East Tennessee. I have been much gratified within the last few days to find Hint your Savannah is gaining favor with ma ny of tlie North Alabama and Tennessee cotton plan ters and merchants. Four or five gentlemen from these sections, will be in your city next week, having consigned to Messrs. Padelford, Kuy Sc Co., and Messrs. E. Parsons & Co., near 500 bales of cotton, when I hope that a fuvorable impression may be fully realized by them. The people of your city should be awakened to their best interests, when they would see and feel the necessity of holding out the proper inducements to tlie industry of North Alabama and Tennessee for tlie produce of their beautiful farms.

The fire noticed in our paper yesterday morning was undoubtedly the act ofan incendia-y, for we have ascertained that it originated in the saw-mill belong ing to the estate of Winkler, and that the tire in the furnaces was extinguished in the evening before the workmen left. Two men, James Frazer and Samuel Mercer, were arrested by the watchmen in the imme diate vicinity of the mill a few moments after tho alarm, and committed to the guard house. Y'ester- day morning they underwent nn examination be’ore his Honor, the Mayor, and were committed for a fur ther hearing before Justice P. M. Russel this morn ing at 11 o'clock. The buildings burnt were old, and the loss to the President himself will come is uncertain, though great hopes are entertained that lie will. He has been invited by Mr. District Attorney Hall, of New York, to become his guest nt Newport, should the business of Government permit his absence from Wushington during the summer solstice. . In another part of his letter he remarks: The place abounds in agreeable widows, both old ami young, and very lovely “damsels,” who are all young of course—it being an admitted fact that no woman can be old as long ns she remains single. Among the former let me mention the still lovely and admired relict of thnt justly celebrate i nuval hero, Lawrence, who died giving utterance to those re nowned words, “ Don't give up the ship I” These are no doubt attractions ; but we would re peat the warning of the sage of Pickwick, “ Bevare of vidders.” Methodist Protestant General Conference. It will be seen by the following report of proceed ings of this body, now in session in Baltimore, that the question of slavery, which has caused so much agitation and unpleasant results in some of thochurch- es,has been put to rest in the Methodist Protestant Church—it having been determined that the subject belongs exclusively to Hie several State or Annual Conferences: “The Executive Committee to whom was recom mitted the paper from the Manchester Circuit of tlie Pittsburg Conference on tlie subject of slavery, and the resolutions of the New York Conference recom mending thut the word “white” be stricken out of the arHcle of the ConsHtution relaHve to the eligibility and suffrage of members, reported that they are of opinion that this General Conference has no jurisdic tion over Hie subjects referred to in those papers. In reference to the request of the Manchester Diatriot asking the General Conference to deprive the Annual Conferences of the pon ers to ‘legislate on tlie sub ject of slavery,’ Hiey do not think that this General Conference should assume the right to expound the Discipline for tlie Annual Conferences, but that each Annual Conference is to judge of such matters as are referred to them by the Constitution respectively for themselves, and are only held responsible to the Gen eric Conference when, in its judgement, Hiey shall have passed 'rules or regulations’ contravening the Constitution, The report was adopted by on almost unanimous vote.” sufferers is as follows : Estate bf Winkler, $12,000 Estate of Myers J ,500 Hugh Logan’s grocery-store, 1,00C D.

The Remington Bridge.—We understand, says the Madon Telfigraph,that the bridge at Montgomery, Alabama, is now nearly completed, and that its success is regarded aa certain. Mr. Beattie has dis posed of one eighth interest in the right for the State of Georgia to a company of gentlemen in Milledge ville, who contemplate the immediate construction of two bridges near that place. Col. W. G. Bonner, one of the parties alluded to, is a practical Engineer of much experience, and of course is fully competent to appreciate tlie merits of tlie invention. Mr. B. lias hitherto held tlie right of the State of Georgia at 000, nt which rate he sold the interest in question, Should Mr. Remington be entirely successful in ilia undertaking at Montgomery, of which there seems to be no doubt, the value of the improvement will be al most incalculable. The prices at which these bridges can be constructed are so inconsiderable, that they cannot fail to supercede all others. these boats, commands (os it should do) the universal respect and admiration of the travelling public.

It wns impossible to get it otf witii the i'ewcars then between this and the Tunnel; however, we cun now hope for more satisfaction to the planters.

Speaking oi Hiis movement, the New Orleans Delta, which ceems, from the first, to have been in the confidence of tlie Cubuii leaders, says: Ere this, if the storms or other causes have not pre vented, General Lopez has effected his landing at a point in tiio Island where he has hosts of friends, who have long been urging him to come to them, if he brought but twenty men. His expectation wns to make such landing on Monday last. YVe await with intense interest to near of the result. All will depend upon tlie verity of the promises made by the Creoles of the Island. If they nrc true—and with the proofs before us, we can admit no doubts into our minds,—if they give practical proofs of tlio sincerity of Hieir declarations, there cannot be the slightest doubt of tlie event.

One of the chief speukers on the occasion was C. C. Burleigh—a man of very clever parts, and a capital orator. He is, however, as vain as a young peacock, and this vunity is developed in a peculiar way. lie fancies that he has a close resemblance to some of the pictures of the Saviour—particularly ill the color of liis hair, which is auburn, and so long that it reaches the middle of his back. His beard is also of a similur longitude. It falls upon his breast. YVhen he mounted the stage to deliver his address there were divers questions put to him by tlie “bhoys" —such as “are you a woman!” or “why do you cheat tlie barber!" &c„ &e. At this critical moment, Capt Rynders, who was also on thssstage, slipped up to our hero, and very gently putting one hand around his waist, with the other commenced stroking his beard The audience came near going into convulsions.

A German laborer who was slcep- ing in an apartment of the bam which contained tlie ai tides, was fastened in by a brace, but being awak ened by tlie bark of a dog, be released himself and fired a pistol at the robbers.

He will, however, attend the Convention held at the appointed time. He says The Senate of the United States present a cheer ing, nn elevating spectacle. Senators who have grown old iu the service of their country—whose patriotism none call doubt, and whose fame extends wherever civilization exists—are burying their party dittoren- ces, sacrificing sectional prejudices, and laboring to gether harmoniously in the great work of saving the Union. Animated by this holy desire, and invoking a spirit of a mutual conciliation and forbearance, they have proposed terms of compromise deemed just and honorable to all. Every patriot ardently desires that this noble effort may be crowned witii success. A thousand voices, coining up from every section of tlie lund, cheer them on; and there are umnistakeable evidences that they have the feelings and sympatiiies of the great body of the people with them. Let u*, therefore, show our devotion to Hie Union,by forbear ing, ns long ns there is a reusonuble prospect that our rights will be respected.

Tho rights and honor oi the South arc secure in the hands of such men; and I have no fear whatever Hint any convention of South ern Delegates will refuse to sanction und approve their course.” A Complication of Accidents.

Jqfp Eggs are still valued according to the number, uotwitstauding that recent experiments have Bhown a difference in weight in some instances of nine oun ces between one dozen and another ; the greatest weight attained by the experiments, was 24 ounces, and tlie lowest fourteen and a half. Iff the one case a fraction over eleven eggs would equal the average weight of a dozen, and in the other, it would require over eighteen eggs to reach the proper weight. Yet tho price for both by the present mode of selling is the same. The crops—Cotton. Discouraging accounts in ref erence to this plunt from floods, late spring and cold weather, continue to pour in upon us Horn the centre cotton growing region. It is now evident that with the most propitious season for Hie future, there cannot be an ordinary crop made. Corn in this section is rather promising. Wheat and oats also. There will-no doubt be more than enough of each’made for domestic consumption. Milledgerillc Recorder.
