On Saturday the weather was again re markably warm, and about noon it was more op- presaive than on any day during the past week. At 3 o'clock, the thermometer stood at 24°. About 4 o'clock a gale from the North Eastsprung up, accom panied with a alight ruin. It lasted about half an hoar, bat daring that period, did considerable dum- ageto the trees on the hay ; window shutters and sign boards were blown in every direction. During the gule, which was uncommonly severe for a period oi fifteen minutes, the truSs-work of a new cotton shed, for the Hydraulic Press, ut the Eastern Wharf, was blown down, it was 2z5 feet long and (>U lent wide, and at the time it fell several persons were at work on it, aud we regret to state tiiut three colored boys were injured by the lulling ot the ratters ono rather severely. iar We learn from the Charleston Courier, that the Oca Cow, a notice oi tho capture of which was published in thu A tics, a few days since, died in that kity on Friday morning, its skin uud skeleton have been preserved. fSS** Ship Tamerlane, of tiavannali, now at Nuw Bedford, has been purchased by Messrs Thomas Knowles & Co, for a whaler, to bo communded by Capi Shockley, late of thu Mutucom, oi New Bed ford. Southern Righto Meeting in Clurke.

Among the speakers was Judge HkNkVj K. Jackson, who ill an able address advo cated the Senate Compromise. An ubstruct ot Judge Jackson's remarks appear in thu lust Atnuus Banner. His views of tho question are similar.to tuose advunc- . ed at the late meeting iu tins city by J udgo Law.

For our own part, wo would be very willing to ud- hore to the nou-interveutiun policy, u tho Northern majority in Congress were not seeking to do indirect ly what that policy would preclude them from do ing directly, nut when wo see the movements ulreudy on loot to deprive us ulevery inch ot the public domuin, by the admission of wildernesses el Indians und mixed bluoda ot all tribes uud nations us free States, we think it is time to draw the hue, be that lino what it may Whut good will non-intervention do ue when we are shut out from, the Pactiic, uud hemmed in on sill aides by a cordon of li eu States J Judge Jackson very properly regards the ques tion as unconnected with party politics.

Butterfield and Wells, was discovered to lio on tire on Tuesday lost while on the wharf in New York. The trunk was full of valuable silks and jewelry, and on opening it, it was found that some one had poured a quantity of Sulphuric Acid into the keyhole, setting nearly all tho packages on fire.—Sev eral buckets of water wore poured upon tho burning goods, and after considerable trouble, tlie firo was extinguished. The loss and damages sustained by fire and water, will, in all probability, exceed $600, upon which there is no insurance.

BrltlHh Cotton growing In the Went Indies. It has become tho fashion of late, in certain quar ters at the North, to discuss tho resources of tho South, and to estimate the probabilities of a foreign rivalry in the production of our grc*‘ staple, by which the Cotton of the Southern States will be shut out from the European markets. England, it is well known, lias for many years been endeavoring to in- troduce tho culture of Cotton into India, and, in tho hope to render her manufacturers independent of the Americun producer, lias expended millions of dollars in experimenting with the soil, labor and inferior fibre of her India possessions. All these efforts have proved abortive; and though Egypt, Brazil and Surat liavo supplied a moiety of the inferior qual ities of Cotton consumed at Manchester, it lias been found that the cotton fields of the Southern States of this Union were the only safe reliance, und the only source from whence a supply equal to tho dcniund could bo obtained, iu tbe apprehen sion that the crops of tho United States may foil to supply tlie increasing demand, and with u view to promote as much us possible their independence of our cotton market, the Liverpool and London Cham bers of Commerce have recently turned their atten tion towurds the West Indies, and arc examining tlie cupncity of Jamaica for the cultivation of Cotton.— We have information by the last steamer that a lead ing mercantile house in the first mentioned city had laid before the Cliuirmun and Council a sample of tlie article grown in tlie neighborhood ul' Kingston, 'amaica, from New Urleuus seed, and band picaed. It had been examined by several experienced bro kers, who ull pronounced it ruuking up to New Or- leuns “fair,” worth 7 l-2d. per.ib. to-duy ; but,from several known facts, it wus concluded tho Egyp tian, Brazil, aud Surat seed would udapt itself bet ter to tropical culture. These samples of Jainaicu- grown cotton were exhibited by the house of Messrs. Cuinpbell, Arnolt be Co., who miproVod tho oecusion to assure thu Chumber tiiut one of their ugcuts hud gonu to the United States, instructed to acquire u practical knowledge of eotum culture. They state, moreover, thut they uro importing seed both from tho Surat district and Egypt, to encourage the West India enterpize. The New York Evening Express iu an article tin this subject suys : In tlie West India islands the cotton plant is suid to bo perenuiul, blossoming utter tue spring und uu- tuinn ruins, und yielding two successive crops in June and December ; und not only so, but tlie siirub instead of being unnuully replanted as in thu South ern States inlgtit be pruned down to much udvau- tugu for ut loust three successive years; tlie light soil abounding uloug tlie coast, also, is very favora ble to its growth, uud tile most essential feature, dry weather, during the picking season, we are assureu, cun generally be relied on, uud, of course, there is nouu of tiiut precuriousness arising from lrost, Ate. The discouraging state of tlie sugar interest in the Island of Jamaica would eeenij to oiler u fair oppor tunity for tho cultivation of cotton. Tho iubor widen the lutter requires is said to be nut liulfso se vere ns that which tiioTormer unremittingly demands. Labor is cheap, and it is certain that tiiosc who cuu- not be induced to work upon u sugur plantation would readily consent to the cultivation of cotton. Even women and children could find eusy and pro fitable employment, so comparatively light is said to bethe tux imposed by tlie climate of Jumaica upon thephysiciul abilities of tho labor. All these facts are urged upou the immediate con sideration of the Chamber of Commerce, witli a significant appendix that tho moral considerations involved, alone, should stimulate the friends of free labor, as well as the friends of the manufacturing in terests, to speedy action in tho matter. These movements are pregnant with considera tions worthy tho prot'oumiest reflection our friends in tho Southern States can give to them ; consider ations it is not needed we should particularly point out here. They are, or should be apparent to all, and especially to such rampant patriots ns now and then tell us, after a public dinner at Charleston or in other localities, oft' in that latitude, that without the cotton of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, tuid Louisiana, the world in generally would go to pieces, —but particularly Great Britian and the Northern States of this Union. We cannot agree with tlie editor that this move ment has anything in it to excite the apprehensions of the South. The policy of England towards her West Indian colonies lias long since given the death blow to thoir agricultural prosperity. Tlie few years past has shown tho inability of these islands, in their present condition, to compete with us in the cultiva tion of sugar, notwithstanding the fostering protec tion of tho British government; and it is but a fair in ference that if they cannot grow sugar successfully they cannot produce Cotton successfully. The edi tor ’s mistaken if he supposes that Cotton needs no culture, and that it requires n less expenditure of la bor than sugar in its production. -The crops require very nearly 'lie same amount mid the same class of labor, and while the West Indian planter is dependent on the apprentices and imported Coolies of those is lands, lie will never be able to compote with the plant er of the Southern States. Even witli the same class oi labor the former could not excel the lntter in the production of cotton. While the world wants cot ton—and until the human family turn sans culottes or resort again to fig-leaves—the demand for tt will continue to increase, it will procure it wherever the best quality of tlie article is to bn had on the best terms. The South has never encountered any form idable competition, and, with her soil mid domestic institutions, lias no cause to apprehend any that she will not be able to meet. But, even if Cotton to bupply tho world can be grown in the West Indies—aud even if the Cotton of the Southern States is to he driven from tlie mar ket by the cotton of tho Ea6t or West Indies, what will the “friends of free laboY" at the North gain by the change?—or in what respect will tile South be rendered worse olf than the North ? Wo can at least grow Cotton for our own 'Consumption, while the Northern manufacturer will he compelled to buy it of its British producer. Iu this we would have a signal advantage, while in every other respect we would be on an equal footing; for tl-erc is no pro duct of the earth cultivated at tlie North that our soil will not produce in abundance—no mineral that our mines do not furnish us, and no production of art that Southern skill mid ingenuity cannot supply. True, Cotton is our great staple, and may be call ed tho great staple of the American Union, since it is tho basis of her export commerce; but it is not nil tho wealth of the South; and should the time ever come when its cultivation will cense to be profitable, it will be seen Hint we have within ourselves ns much of the elements of independence as any other section of the Union. Correspondence of the Daily Morning Fetes. New-York, July 20, 1850. The weather is too sultry to permit any news to be stirring, so excessive is tho languor produced by jt, that it really secni9 to ho too treat an exertion even to think. When ministers of tlie Gospel (those of up. per-ten-dom, of course) find it inconvenient to prencli, shut up tlie church, and follow their congregations to watering places, ono may suppose, tiiut the religious fire has been extinguished by the more powerful rays of tho sun, and that a recess was absolutely necessa ry. Nearly all the fashionable churches in tho city are now closed, and up town is decidedly not at home. Sir Henry Lytton Buhver, arrived here on Satur day, and will shortly take possession of his Cottago on Staten Island ; he is now on tho Island, tho guest of a neighbor. lie complains greiitly of the climate of Washington, I hear, and is quite enerva ted by it. Mr. James, I understand, will visit Sir Hen ry when he is domiciliated. Great preparations are making to give General Pnez a public reception to-morrow, it is said, thut the authorities will join in the ceremony, but I dont believe it. For my part, I think we make such mat ters too common. It is nil very well for the country men of distinguished individuals, and the public, who choose to join them, tu give a reception ; but to incur vast expense, ot tho cost of an already heavily taxed people, upon the arrival of any hero and pat riot, is us impolitic as it is unjust. We are glad to welcome the hero, oppressed from every land ; but tlie sincerity of tho welcome is not proved by pomp und show. Garibaldi will be hero in a day or two, and if one is to be honored why not the other, miiV so with every persecuted victim who conics to ouP shores. W Forrest, tho tragedian, I am sorry to say, is fast degenerating into loaferism, and seems “hale fellow well met" with any ono who will associate with him. He is boarding at a third rate hotel here, and I have been surprised to see how much ho has descended, judging from tlie appearance of those witli whom he driuks attlic bar, and the familiar “Ned” with which they usually accost him. Mrs. Forrest, I believe, is now in tho choir of Trinity Church, and teaches tile piano,on which she plays with remarkable skill. I hear no more of the divorce suit, although 1 am assured thatForrc8t lias commenced one in the Philadelphia Common Pleas, aud she, ono in the Courts oi this city. The journeymen tailors of the city are still in a state of desperation—tlie goose is warmed no more, and the thimble is thrown aside—they now promen ade through tlie streets, hold mass meetings, frighten industrious and reasonable workmen, nnd kick up. all sorts of of antics in violation of good order and of tho laws. A mass meeting of the Cralt was held on Saturday, when undisguised socialism stuck out considerably in the resolutions nnd speeches. The only question, however, seems to be, whether they shall dictate to the bosses, or tlie bosses to them, and I presume tho bosses will speedily decide ‘hat. The number ot deaths in tho city increased last week, being 76 more than tho previous one. The whole number was 467, and of these 300 were cliil dren. Three enses of cholera were reported, but it is believed improperly so. Young doctors are very npt to mistake diarrhea,or malignant cholera morbus, for the Asiatic cholera, nnd inconsiderately report it. There is evidently no epidemic. The exposures and excesses caused by tho funeral procession, no doubt, swelled the bill of mortality considerably. Most of the crew of the supposed slaver Mar tha, have been liberated; but the Cuptain is still in prison, and it will go hard with him, I think.. He is to bo examined this week. The Atlantic went otf again on Saturday, with 122 passengers, and a good freight. There was consider able interest exhibited on shore as she passed down the river. Bets were offered that she will be in Liv- “rpool in ten days, but they were not very reudily taken. The Ohio left for Cbagres on the same day with 106 passengers. Several ladies were among them. The amount of specie shipped at this port since the 1st inst., is $1,505,401—since tho lst n of January, $3,- 948.974. There was paid into the sub-treasury here Inst week $330,037 45. The balance to July is $4|630,660 77. There were entered at the Custom House last week, dry goods for consumption $2,677,- 357.

Mr. Walker brought forward an amendment strik ing out all except what relates to California. But Mr. Pearce offered an amendment, which took pre cedence, to wit; to reinstate what had been strick en out relative to New Mexico, and the amendment of Mr. Downs adopted yesterday, und provides that the terriiorial government of New Mexico shall go into operation on the 4th day of March, 1851. Mr. Pearce spoke ill support of the motion. Mr. Foot resisted it, nnd declared that it would de feat tlie bill. Mr. Rusk opposed the amendment. He hnd hop ed that Texas wouId beat rest for one day. Ho would stand to be shot ut, but not every dny to be snapped at. He complained of tho want of sym pathy and regard for the rights nnd feelings of Tex as. He was afraid that some were ready to test tho strengh of this government in a conflict with a State. It would be found a hazardous experimeqf. Mr. Dawson opposed the amendment. Mr. Shields had with reluctance voted for the amendment of the Senators from Georgia. Upon reflection, he would not defend that provision; And he would support tlie amendment of tlie Senator from Maryland, (Mr. Pearce.) Mr. Benton spoke at length in support of the amend ment, and in opposition to tlie surrender of New Mexico to Texas. IIo was in favor of keeping pos session of New Mexico until tlie title wus decided by competent authority. Mr. Houston and Mr. Dawson replied.
