England. The news via Halifax, by telegraph
from New York, reached England on the arrival of
the Niagara, of the invasion of Lopez, created con
siderable sensation in the commercial and political
circles. Many were indisposed to credit the fact,
till the arrival of the Pacific, which put an end to all
doubt Upon the subject. The matter was brought
auder the notice of tho Government:, and of both
Houses of Furlikinent. In the House of Lords, Lord
Lansdowne, in reply to Lord Brougham, expressed
his belief in the sincere and good faith of tlie United
States Government, lie declined to answer a ques
tion front Lord Stanley, inquiring what orders lmd
been sent to tho British W, India-fleet. Lord Brough

A hurricane—a tornado—a tropical storm—some
thing. in short, Hint we hear of but seldotncr see hero—
visited the city yesterday, consisting of whirlwind,
thunder, lightning, rain and hail. For about ten min
utes before the storm broke, the city was shrouded in

Spniilnh Outrage on American Vessels!
The schooner General Taylor, Cnpt. Wright, ar
rived ut our port yesterday afternoon, iu 30 days irom
Chagres. Sho was bound to Turks Island, but sliitted
her ballast nt sen, and put here in for a supply. When
oil' Cape Antony, on tlie 13th inst., she wus boarded
by a Lieut, mid Midshipman, anil eight Spanish sol
diers. armed with enrbines, cutlasses, and boarding-
pikes, from a Spanish wur steamer. Tho captain of
tho General Taylor produced his papers, but this did
not satisfy the insolent Spaniards, who were ve
ry insulting, nnd overbearing in their deportment
towards Cupt. Wright, nnd liis crew. They persis
ted in overhauling his vessel, and searching her from
stem to stern, and finally demanded the schooner's
roll. After remaining on board fur nearly an hour
they took their departure.
The Gen. Taylor was in company, off Capo Antony,
with tho brig Ncvius, (of Beverly Mass..) from Masl-

Cotton.—'The demand for Cotton, during the curly
part of this week, continued good, both from consu
mers and speculators, ns well as for export, and
with a tendency to some further advance in price,
but ill the last two or threo days th'c market has been
compnrirively quiet and speculation suspended; and,
as' the quantity offering lias exceeded the demand,
buyer* have had a slight advantage. The quotations
ol the 31st are repeated to day, say: 7g for Fine Up
land and Mobile, nmI7J for Fair Orleans, but the mar-
ket is much less firm and buoyant than it was. and the
sides per day only about 5000 hides, though the lust ac
counts from America, per the Pacific, represented the
prospects for the next crop as still more discouraging.
The sales of tlie week amount to 00,300 hales, touch
the largest portion during the first three days The
American descriptions consisted of 12,740 Upland, nt
♦ijd ; 8330 Alabama and Mobile, at5la7fd; 18 720 Or
leans, at 6a8td ; Sea Islands at 11$ 17d per lb. The
clock in this port is estimated ut 533,000 halos, of
which 301,000 are American, against a total stock at
this period last season of 724,000 hales, of which 520
000 were American.
Phenomena Attendant on Immersing the Hands in
Molten Metal.—M. Cornc, iu a paper submitted to the
Paris Academy of Sciences, says 1 ‘•Having deter
mined on investigating the question whether tho ora
yiloynirnt of liquid sulphurous add for moistening
tlie hands would produce a sensation of coldness when
they are immersed in tho molted metal. I immer
sed my hands, previously moistened with sulphurous
add, in the melted lead, and experienced n sensation
of decided cold.
1 repeated the experiment of immersing the hand
in molted lead und in fused cast Irun. Before experi
menting with the melted iron, 1 placed a stick, pro
viousiy moistened with water, in the stream of liquid
metal, and on withdrawing it found it to ho almost as
wet as it was before; scarcely any of tlie moisture
wan evaporated. The momenta dry piece of wood
wns placed in contact with the healed metal, combus-
tinu took place. M. Covlet and 1 then dipped our
• bonds into vessels of the liquid metal and passed our
lSagnresr.vernUimesbackwards end forwards through
a Htream of mrtul flowing from the furnace,.rad the
heat from tho radiation of the fused metal belli;
the Millie time almost unbearable.
IVc varied these experiments for upwards of two
hours; and Madame Covlet, who assisted nt these ex
jieriuieuu, permitted her child, u girl of nine years
age, to dip her hands in a crucible of red hot me
with impunity. AVo experimented on the melted
iron, both with our hands quite dry, and also who
moistened with water, alcohol and ether. The same
results were obtained ns with molten lead, and
of us experienced a sensation of cold when employ
ing sulphurous acid."
This is putting in practice "the right of search” in
good enrnest. Our government will, of course, mako
prompt inquiry iuto tho affair, and take efficient
measures to prevent tho recurrence of similar out
rages on our merchant ships. Tlie Spanish govern
ment must bo given to understand, and if necessary
must he impressed with tlie fact by means of a whole
some leBson, tlmt this government will not permit any
nation to detuin and search its vessels on the high
ecus. Spaniards must learn that "Free trade und Sail
or's Rights" is with us a national motto and tlie mean
ing of it is tlmt our flag protects the vessel that bear
it, wherever tlie seas roll and the winds of heaven
blow. The leniency of our government towards the
Spanish in their recent difficulties, has been wl'on
ly construed, if they regard it ns -an assurance that
they may insult our merchantmen with impunity, un
der the llimsv pretext of searching for invaders,

Tooimhowi Division, No. 2 8. of T. turned out^V"
asunder the fibres of the timber. The bridge which
has been recently built by Mr. Remington in Alaba
ma, lias abundantly attested tlie practicability ol' ills
theory, anil is spoken of by the press as one of the
greatest triumphs of mechanical skill nnd ingenuity.
Mr. Remington is confident that ho can build n sin
gle span of 1320 feet, which would bo^KBO feet longer
than the bridge which formerly spanned the Schuyl kill,
near Fnirmoiint. The span of that bridge, which was
wonder in its day, was n little over 300 feet, and
wns said to bo tho largest in tlie world.
Tho New York Courier and Enquirer, speaking oi
the success of Remington’s bridge, very justly re
marks that tlie annals of mechanical art afford few
instances where a grout invention has been developed
and prosecuted under such adverse circumstances-
Mr. Remington lias indeed struggled long nnd
manfully against the skepticism nnd prejudice of his
countrymen, mid will, we hope, be amply rewafdcd
for lfta energy and perseverance.
Wo well reihember the first time we saw or heard
of this bridge, which is now the admiration and won
der of the world. It wns iu th,o spring of 1842, in the
villiuge of Madison, Georgia
Passing through tho street in the neighborhood of
one ot tlie Hotels, our attention was attracted by n
groupe of men who were gathered round some object
on the ground. As we approached we observed n
smull structure, made of white pine sticks, which
we at first took to be a child's toy. The bystanders
were regarding it with incredulous curiosity, white n
Father well favored, modest looking young man was
ixplaiuiug the principles ofthc bridge, ofwliichlic said
this little affair wns a model. The long’tudinal pieces,
which rested nt cither end on small pino abutments
some four inches high, were square, and about half
an inch in thickness, mid the span was some three
or four feet in length. There was un incredulous
smilo oil every face when young Remington as
serted that it would bo impossible to break tlie little
pine timbers of tlie model, without parting the fibre
of the wood by actually pulling the sticks in two, as
we would break n cord ; but the laugh was wholly
unsuppressible when ho invited the heaviest man in
the crowd to stand upon the middle of the minenturc
bridge. He at length prevailed upon uman to make
the test, when to tlie infinite surprise if nil present
the sticks remained unbroken under the dispropor
tioued weight. After this others stepped boldly up
on it with the same result, until the heaviest man in tlie
party had perched himself upon tho slender struc
ture, which, though almost hidden beneath his feet,
remained' firm and uninjured. This was enough to
excite the wonder of all beholders, hut it was not
enough to satisfy them of tho practical utility of the
invention.
Remington afterwards went to Washington City,
where he was befriended by his then only patron,
the late Hon. Dixon II. Lewis, of Alabama. The
next we heard ot him was in England, where, alter
much delay nnd suffering, he was permitted to test
tho practicability of his invention, over a sheet ot wa
ter in one of the Public Gardens of London. His
success wns complete his genius triumphant. He re
turned to America with a European fame. This gave
him a claims upon tho nttention of tho public. His
bridge has been tried, and the result is before the
world. May he live loug to enjoy tho fruits of his ge
nius und enterprizo.

Fourth of July.
Mr. Editor. The near approach of the Nation’s
birth day, has suggested to me an idea which 1 wish
to communicate through your columns to the public.
A largo portion of our community never partake of
the usual fun of that most glorious of all national ju
bilees— the inalienable right of every froo citizen—
tlie great day of noise, military parades,'spruce beer,
ginger pop, mid Chinese crackers—the.Fourth of Ju
ly. it seems to be tho intention of some people to
forgetthe Fourth of July—and against this atrocious
uetof a re-active barbarism, I raise my voice. Never
while tho American y outh can fire off a “cracker,”
discharge a‘•serpent," or seta “ chaser" on its travels,
should we consent that this proud day should be
abolished.
To bo serious. We have fur too few holidays, too
low seasons of general, popular recreation. The
minds aud bodies of our people, kept in constant
train nnd tension from day to day, from week to
week, mid from month to month, tend towards physi
cal decrepitude and mental imbecility.
I would suggest to our citizens to have n temper
ance celebration in the afternoon of tin; Fourth, at
Hodgson’s Park. Let a subscription be had—let the
young and the old, mail and female, the father and
his family, the young man aud bin sweet heart, all be
present. We might have a temperance address de
livered, which would instruct all; and the young
could enjoy themselves iu hcnlthful and pleasant re
creation. Reader think of ib—and if you approve the
plan, express your sentiments, and join in celebra
ting the day, and it will lie nn epoch in your life, picas,
ing and refreshing to think of iu days,to como.

The Fine Bur Banket.
Wo acknowledge tho receipt of a liandsorao pre
sent from our friends Messrs Collins & Bulkley,
in the shape of a piue-bur basket. It affords us plea
sure nt all times to introduce to public notice the na
tive. productions of our State; but in this instance we
derive still higher satisfaction from tho fact that the
articlois not only u purely Georgia production, hut
is a Highly creditable specimen of the handicraft of
our own lair Georgia women. The basket is truly
beautiful, combining the useful with the ornamental,
and affords n strikiugillustration of the uses to which
the commonest tilings may do applied by taste and
skill. It is made of the common pino bur, which,
when adjusted to the pasteboard frame and hand
somely varnished, has a beautiful appearance. The
basket is lined and trimmed with colored silk, and
makes n very convenient and beautiful work or card
basket for tho centre table. We shall in future hold
the pino bur in higher esteem, since we knew some
earthly purpose to which it may be applied.

been always engaged in active politics, and being ever
on tho most intimate terms with some of the loading
politicians of the country. With Aaron Burr his re
lations were close and confidential,nnd he was nppoin
ted the literary administrator of that remarkable
personage. He wns for many year3 the correspon
dent of the Courier & Enqurier, under tho signature
of “The Spy in Washington,” and his letters were al
ways characterized by a Junius like directness, terse
ness, and pungency, which rendered them rciidablo,
if not always reliable. lie was tho correspondent, al
so, for many years, of the London Times, under the

tics instructively, and, in the main, accurately and

A portion ot our subscribers foiled to get their pa
pers yesterday morning. This was owing to an ncci
dent which occurred to one of our carriers,and which
is best explained by tho following communication
furnished by liim;
Mb. Editor: Iuthc course of my “route,” yes
terdny morning, while pussing down Bryan-street,
was quite sensibly impressed with female severity,
Near the door of a subscriber stood a Mrs. Mares
with her youngest by hor side; aud though its
treme infancy rendered it rather “green” looking,
yet I had said nothing disrespectful of it, though
might have hinted its verdancy to a gentleman who
wns out by tho door. But tho mother, jealous that I
should derogate her darling, concluded to turn my
attention to some of my own imperfections-
broken leg, for instance—und levelled at me a blow
with one of her liiud feet, which luckily took effect
just above the patella, or kneepan. llud I been
trifle nearer, so us to have received the full force
the blow an inch lower, I should have got somethin
more than tho limps, probably; but I am happy to say
that that is about all 1 have got, with tho exception of
a pretty sensible impression where the blow hit. And
by the way, I think it is wrong for beasts so ill tem
pered to be on the sido-waik, without their heels be

Easy Mode of Divorce. The marriage contract is
the most sacred known to our law. Those who en
ter upon it do it deliberately. Tlie severment of
that relation should not be permitted for trivial cau
ses, nt the option of either party. The extension of
the causes of Into years has become too lax. Parties
intentionally avail themselves of the statutes,in order
to render themselves liable for a bill. There are but
two States where adultery is the solo cause of di
vorce, South Carolina mid New York. In North
Curolinn divorces arc permitted under no circumstan
ces.
During the early period of the Mosaic dispensation
all that was necessary to secure a separation was
for the husband to say that he made no further claim
to ilia wife. For five hundred years divorce wus un
known iu Rome, but subsequently it became com
mon. All that the husband had to any to his wife, in
order to secure an effectual dissolution of tho mar
riage relation wns "Give mo 'tho keys out of the
house.” This secured n legal separation.
France has taught us a lesson upon this subject.
Within three months after tlie new law of divorce
wus adopted there were as many divorces ns marria
ges; and in 18 months twenty thousand divorces were
registered. Even in Connecticut, when the law of
divorce was relaxed, applications lor divorce multi-
plied rapidly.
Do Tocqueville says of American women, that no
where do the sox occupy a more elevated position
than in tho United States ; and to nothing was to be
attributed more directly than to our women the ex
alted character and stability of ourinsritnUqns. And
Mr. D. contended tlmt this elevated character oi
American women might, with truth, be attributed^ to
the difficulty of securing a divorce, mql to the strict
veneration witii which the marriage contract was
bold.
At one time in France it was common for men to
have ns ninny wives as they had years. A learned
author refers to' an old soldier who, iu eleven years,
had eleven wives. This wns. the result of the loose
divorce laws of France.-—Detroit Tribune.
