Hoquenf legislation or soc ial and moral influence to

to bring out rhe productiveness ol the soil by the ex

ready are them high dying spirits who propose that
they should take up the Franchise quest on, and that
tho uthiiafed branches ol' the lcuguo should return

be enough of vvibdhm in the Uonierence to keep
them to the point; when this in settled, other Con
ferences may minister the pressure from without,
necessary to induce the ministry to settle, one by one

right. Social, moral, and industrial position.
The Me ting in the City Assembly House.—On
Tuesday, the fith August, 1850, this us-Somblage of
those who profcaB to represent jUic interests uud opin
ions of.the Tenant Farmurs oi 1 Ireland, commenced
their 'sittings ,m the Ciiy Assembly-House, WUiiuni-
street, which the Corporation allowed them to mo
for the occasion. Dr. Me Knight, of Beltkst, editor oi
The Banner of Ulster, was appointed Chairman, and
three gentlemen, a Roman Catholic, an Episcopalian,
Protestant am. u Pro byie/imi,were chosen ricen furies

of Gar\a:.'h, an Ulster Presbyterian Clergyman, say
ing that i. In.,) come there to .shake hands with Uo*

and unite in trying to devise measures for ruLiug
their.prostrftte countrynum of all Ireland. To tiiis
Mr. lied maud a priest of Arklow, responded, that he
had collie to meet the honest men of the Noftb, to
join iti snving’their common country. And so the
business commenced.
It w«s agreed that while they nj-p in conference,
the pre s shall bo excluded; but the secretaries are
to furnish tra abstract of their proceedings to the pa
pers doily. They consider themselves hh in Commit
tee, die cuss all matters freely; and their might be

in Ireland—fumed not only in the courts, the advo

pleadings, before tho House o| Dords in another
proof of the increased severance ot the feeling be
tween the landlords and people. In that county,
with a former population ot 400,000. by death, exter
mination. emigration, the popnlntion had become so
thinned flint not more than 200 electors polled : and
as tiie lower classes had sutlered and the higher
classes were supposed to be with tiio landlords,
and the landlords were all united—'Whig and
Tory, Roman Catholic and Protestant tor Butt.

harvest—for the people have got the idea that they
are entitled to thif crop us the remuneration for the
excessive rack-rents of former years—the Ceoreion

facilitate tho prevention of cutting and removing
growing crops, . >.

The,proceedings of this body, that bids fair to ope
rate niigatily in notifying the most palpable and cry
ing of the wrongful Ireland.
At presold, the opinion prevailing in tho Confer
ence ts, lb a there tiro three things without which no
legislation ( <u hr adequate to the exigencies or satis
factory to the mind of tho country. First a valuation
as tile basis of a fair rent. Secondly, lixity ol tenure
by tiie occupant, us long as tho rent is paid. And
thirdly, the. right to sell, so as to obtain tiie prico of
the Improvements the tenant may have made.
Condition and l‘ro«pccls of Ireland,—Within the
last few days the- state of the potato <yop has been
much more alarming. A private letter gives the fol
lowing account of three Southern Counties: • I lmve
during lait week traveled a good deal through the
' Counties of Limerick. Clare and Tipperary, and I nhi
thorougly convinced that, there is not a field of sound
potatoes in nil tho((hree Counties. Tho blight is as
sc noftd attd apparently as virulent us it was in lfc’-lG.
This caps the ohmax c f Irish misery, and will add an-
otuc r hundred thousand names to tiie black record of|
“famine mortality." -Another, a traveler, says; “From
Ciicngral! to Kiliamoy, 42 miles, there is not a sound
tirhl.” In the North, as wqll ns Leinster, things arc
not quite so li-id; hut the taint, in a greater or less
degree, is ur.ivenvl.

An Unwelcome Tkutii. During the debate in
the Senate on the Fugitive Slave Bill, Mr. Piiatt, of
Maryland, took occasion to allude to a statement
made to him by Mr. Beiieien that he had, some
years ago, collected for a citizen of tho State of
Rhode Island upwards of <5300,000 upon obligations
given by citizens of Georgia to Rhode Island for ne
groes imported into Georgia.
This unwelcome disclosure lias called forth the
comments of some of the more independent and
honest presses of tho North, who denounce, in strong
terms, the canting hypocrisy of those anti-slavery
people of tiie Eastern States who have enriched
themselves by a trnttio in which Georgians have nev
er been concerned—wo mean tlio importation of
slaves to this country. Remarking on tiiis subject,
the New-York Express says:
•To tlio FACT we wish to call Pic attention of our
readers, particularly those of New England, and es
pecially Rbiidc Maud. What, is tiiis tact? That one

Life and Letter, of There we Campbell. Edited by
Wilham Rf.attie, M. D., one of his Executors.--
New York: llAnritn & liROTHEnB.
Tho age has furnished few literary men nince
Scott, whose biography would he regarded with
greater interest by tie- American public than that ol
tiie author of 11 the Pleasures of Hope. " and" Ger
trude of Wyoming.” The volumes before us are
from the pen of an intimate friend, to Whom the poet
confided the task,which has been sbfaithitdly perform
ed, Of giving to the world his Lifeaml Correspondence.
Much of the material for the work was placed in the
hands of the author by Mr. Cammki.l himself, and
oilier matter of interest has been contributed by ins
surviving friends. Dr. Beattie's close intimacy
with the poet, together with the superior facilities
which lie enjoyed for collecting everything ot inter
est concerning the subject of his biography has ena
bled him to compile a most interesting and complete
work, which we cannot better characterize than by
giving an extract from a letter to tlio American publish
ers, from Washington Hiving, to whom the Proof-
sheets were submitted, uud who was a personal ac
quaintance of Mr. Campbell. “It is," soys Mr. Ir
ving, “n great act of justice to the memory of udis-
tinguishedman, whoso character has not been suffi
ciently known. It gives insite into his domestic as
well as liis literary life, und lays open tho springs ol nil
his actions and tho causes of all his contrariety ot
conduct. We now see the real difficulties he hud to
contend with in tlio earlier part of his literary career;
the worldly cares which pulled his spirit to the earth
whenever it'would wing its'way to the skies ; the
domestic afflictions tugging at his heart-strings even
in his iiours of genial intercourse, and converting
his very smiles into spasms; the noxious days and
sleepless nights praying upon his delicate organiza
tion, producing that morbid sensitiveness und ner
vous irritability which at times overlaid the real
sweetness and amenity of ids nature, and obscured
unbounded generosity of ids heart."
The Berber nr Mountaineer of the Atlas. By W. S.
Mayo, New York: Putnam.
We have read tiiis Novel with singular interest.
“ Kulooluh" a Novel published last year by the same
gifted author, is a work more purely of imagination
than the "Berber.” They both are founded on African
scenery and manners, but whilst “ Kaloolah” is a
tale of fancy, tho “ Berber,” is a tale of which all tho
events, and incidents are derived from historical nar
rative. Accordingly it presents n faithful picture of
the manners and customs of the Empire of Morocco,
under the cruel, truculent sultan, Muley Ismeal.
Every one has heard of the Saice Rovers, Algerine
Corsairs,' and Bnrbary Pirates. The “ Berber" is a
narrative of the cruises of a Salee Rover, or Marognien
pirate crow passingtlfb Straits of Gibraltar, make
a descent upon thd coastof Spain near Cadiz, and
bear ofi n hoy who is the son of an opulent English
Merchant. This boy, in time, himself becomes a Salee
Rais or Captain, und gets possession of Spanish se-
noritas, who are taken to the Sultan’s residence at
the Court of Meguiney. They are all rescued by tlio
“ Berber," who is the principal hero. This “Berber,"
called Casbin Subali, “ the lion of the mountains,”
is at the head of the great Berber race of the
Atlas, who have never been subdued by the Moors.
The prominent part which that race has played in
the present day, and by whiqh the conquestof Spain
was effected in the seventh century, is pourtrnyed
with the fidelity of historic narrative. •
The Berber is u lively jncture of tlio despotism of
tho Mooijsh Sultans, who with their own hands de:
capitated their offending subjects, or squeezed out of
them their money, by bastinado, wooden screws, hot
irons or hungry lions. The work is dedicated to our-
worthy fellow townsman, VVm. B. Hodgson, Esqr.,
as follows:
To William B. Hodgson, Em/.:
Sik—To no one could a work, bearing the title of
“Tiie Berber,” be more appropriately inscribed than
to yourself, for no one lias dene more to elucidate
the ethnography of that mysterious and interesting
people. Your translation oi a portion of tho gospels

and phrases; your valuable essays in relation to the
divisions, history, and customs of the inhabitants of
the Atlas; the results of your personal observations
while engaged in the diplomatic services of the Uni

in the most Buttering terms by l'ljtchard, and other
distinguished ethnographers. Of course my testi

Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
Nf.w-York, Aug. 27th, 1850.
Wc are jogging along in a very so-so-ish style in
New-York just now—we are, in fact, in a sort of be
twixt and betweenntive state; or, I may say with
propriety, a sort of negative state. Wo are not very
brilliant, nor very dull; not very gay, nor by any
means sad; not very busy, nor very idle; not burnt
up by the sun, nor unpleasantly cold. Then, if two
negatives art! equal to an affirmative, you muy form
some idea from the above number of them of our
affirmative state—perhaps.
The past week brought us another batch of emi
grants—only (>.<185! about one-half being from Eng

Mr. Clay’s desire seems now to be, “save me from
my friends," for he does all ho can to avoid them.
He arrived here quietly ou Saturday morning, stole
on board oi tiie ferry boat, and was off by tiie cars
southward before any body were nwnre of it. These
political friends are dangerous people, and their kind
ness is sometimes fatal.
The unexpected retirement of Mr. McKonnnn from
the Cabinet creates some talk, nnd no little curiosity
to know the cause. There is a screw loose evident
ly; and the rumor is, that McIC. and Webster didn’t
run well together. The truth is, I suspect, that the
patronage is mostly disposed of, and men don’t care
about undertaking the urduous duties of office for the
mere salary. They have all some friends to provide
lor, of course, and not being able to do so, these
disinterested patriots decline to serve their country.
Our city continues to he remarkably healthy—the
number of deaths last week was only 393, being 7-1
less than the previous obb. Children of tender age still
die very fast—229 last week were under two years.
Dysentery prevails to some extent, but there are no
symptoms of cholera as yet, for which we ought to
bo duly thankful.
l’rince John Van Buren has been chosen by the
Democracy of one of the city wards ns a delegate to
the Nominating Convention at Syracuse, where the
Hunkers und Free Soilcrs are expected to have a
battle royal. It is termed a “Union Democratic”
State Convention, which, I lcar, will prove to be a
misnomer.

Two explosions of steam chests on board steamers
have occurred lately—one last week on tho steamer
Ironsides, when two men were killed; the other oc
curred this morning on board the Chingarora, when
coming from Keyport. There was a large number
ol pussengers on board, and a scene of tho utmost
confusion nnd alarm was exhibited, but no one was
hurt.
There was imported here last week dry goods to
the amount of $2,851,9G9.
I loam this morning that the pardoned convicts,
who arrived here last week from Bermuda, are to be
taken from whence they came, in the same ship.
There were ten in all, and a pretty excitement they
caused—three have gone to sea, it seems. It was not
true that they were pardoned cn condition of coming
to America—tlio condition was. not to return to Eng
land. I really do not see the cause for so much in
dignation, as was expended in this affuir—the fact of
their having been pardoned, was in their favor, nnd
they might have become very good citizens. Where
alas ! is all our boasted philanthropy—our Prisoner

The statue oi John C. Calhoun can he distinctly

out is not a new one to many oi our re nders, liutit itis a
sad one, and one which we cite no tv not only to deplore
it, but for the rake of saying, in the name of a com
mon charity for 111 men, that it ought to touch us to
have a little forbearance with others, when to say the
leuat of it, wo arc no better tltun we should be, our
selves.
The Chops. The Sumter (Ala.) Whig of the 20th
ult- says tiie cotton crop of/that county cannot be a
full one, though there is no doubt of its being a much
better one than that of last year.
Tiie Linden (Ala,) Free Press of the 20tli ult. says
that tne cotton crop oi Marengo county this year, it
is supposed by many planters, will be near an aver
age one, but the corn crop will fail far short of that
mark. i '
The Columbus (Miss.) Democrat of tho 20th ult.
has tho following.
The prospects oi a%.>ood cotton crop have mated:
ly declined in the last two Works in this section
country. While sumo of our planters who have bee
blessed with light showers still hope fora full crop,
the indications are generally unfavorable, owing to
the destruction ol the late crop not only by the worm,
but also by the tailing of squares in consequence of
long drought.
Tho Vicksburg Whig of tho 21th ult. Buys:
YVe have conversed with a number of planters liv
ing in diff rent parts ot this t Warren) epunty, who
all represent the boll-worm us being very destruc
tive to their cotton. One planter says he counted
thirty bolls on a single stalk, pierced by tlio worms,
and tlmt in afield oi ten acre.- of new land thut had
la eu topped, am! the tops put into bags and carried
oil'and destroyed according to the tecipe published
by us sonic time since for destroying tiie boll worm.
From this it will be seen that mumcr topping cotton,
nor new land, is proof again, t tl.is destructive ius-ct.
YVe take the following f rom the Greensboro’ (Ala.)

Your obedient servant, The Author. .
In Memorium. By Alfred Tennyson. Boston
TicKNoh, Reed & Fields.
Tiiis is a literary novelty—a dirge in one volume—
which none but a true poet would have undertaken,
nnd in which nune but a true poet could have suc
ceeded. The inscription, “In Memorium—A. H. 11 —
Obiit MDCCcxxxiii"—is to Arthur 11. Dallam, son
of the historian, the intimate friend of the poet, and
who was betrothed to his sister. A friendship so
strong as that which existed between young Dal
lam and Tennyson, is a fit theme for the genius of
the latter, and is invested with a touching interest by
the death which interrupted but did not terminate
it. Every thought in the poem is tinged with the re
collection of this friendship, or with the bereave
ment which sprung from it—and yet the very sadness
of the poet is clothed in such chaste, beautiful, and
appropriate imagery, that wo cannot but be impress
ed with tiie mustery of his genius, while we derive a
pocuHurfpleasuru from the almost monotonous tlow of
hisriJirge-like numbers. To those who have felt the
heart-sorrow that the poet feels—and who has not!—
tiie volume will be treasured as among tiie most ac
ceptable of his writings. There is a subdued re
ligious sentiment pervading the whole composition,
whjjh, blending harmoniously with tiie theme, adds
an additional beauty and interest to the poem. There
re, also, occasional gleams of cheerfulness, and some
rief diecriptive passages, which serve to relievo the
general effect. The following verses on Spring, par
take of both these characteristics:
Now fades the last long streak of snow,
Now burgeons every maze of quick
About tiie dowering squares, und thick
By ashen roots tho violets blow.
Now rings the woodland loud’and long,
The distance lakes a lovelier hue,
And, drowned in yonder living blue,
The lark becomes a sightless song.
Now dance tho lights on lawn and lea,
The Hocks arc whiter down the vulo,
And milkier every milky sail
On winding stream or distant sea.
Where now the jeatnew pipes or dives,
in yonder greening gleam, nqd liy
Tiio happy birds,' that change tin ir sky
To build aud brood, that live their lives,
From land to land;’ and in my breast
Spring wakens too, and my regret
Becomes an April violet,
And buds nnd blossoms like tiie rest.
But we have no room for extracts, “in Memori
um" will not, perhaps, be so generally admired.as
the previous works of Tennyson, but it will have a
permanent place in tiie nffectipus of all with whom

The Lute European News.
The news by the America is to the 17th. Tho com.
mcrcial advices have been published in tiie News,
The political intelligence is interesting though it may
hardly be said to be important.
The French National Assembly, it will beseen, have
quietly adjourned. The President is making a kind
of royal tour through the provinces, and, according
to the accounts, he is everywhere received, with
here and there an exception, with the utmost de
monstrations of delight. It would appear from this
that tins Socialists und-Red Republicans exaggerate
a little when they say that the masses of the French
people have no regurd left for the Prince President.
(Jut of and away from the capital, indeed, where
there are intrigues aud conspiracies’ always ou foot
against somebody, confidence in the President ap
pears not to be materially sliuken spite of all the
encroachments upon the rjtfits and liberties of the
people ot wkidh he stands clearly convicted. Thero
is but one conclusion tliui can reasonably be de
duced lrom tiiis, aud that is, the Law uud Order
portion of the French nre decidedly in fuvur of a
strong goverhment, when the choice is narrowed
down to Monarchy or Anarchy. YVhaVevcr else is
duu uud doubtful in the affairs of this reuiarkuble
nation, thus much, jut least, is to us as clear as the
noonday sun.
From Great Britain we get, politically, little or no
thing ol moment, save the prorogation of Parliament
und the probability of England's joining Russia and
France in an effort to restore a good understanding
between Denmark and the Duchies, YVe do not seo
tiiat these antagonists have had any more battles ol
magnitude, though we have vague reports of some
further -kirmishing, in which fortune this time de
clares for the Hulsteiuers. After so desperate a hat
tie as that of ldstedt, it is impossible thut the conteu.
ding urmics cun come in collision again for some
time, we think, even on the hypothesis that no peace
is to he made. A struggle so fierce nnd bloody us
font was exhausts for u season the victors as well as
the vanquished.
j ‘ Accounts from Buenos Ayres of the 14th Ju
ly state that it was generally reported end believed,
thut a treaty of peace bad been concluded with
France, which would be promulgated on the 21st.
Tne usual celebration of National independence h id
been postponed from the 9th to tlio 21st, when both
events were tu he celebrate d together.
JTgv' Frederick Vll, King of Denmark, who is re
ported to have contracted a morgnmtic or left-handed
marriage with a dress maker, has'' already been mar
ried tu two princesses. His first wife, who was hiB
cousin, he married in 1828, aud was divorced from
her in 1837, after a most unhappy time of it Tho
princess married another man, and in a lew years,
her husband, then Crown Prince, was married to a
princess of Meehlenburgh-Strelitz. Tiiis innrriago
was also unhappy and terminated iu a divorce in
184l>. Having tried l oyal blood twice, and found it
brought no connubial peace, the King seems now dis
posed to muke the experiment of u marriage with a
Cinderella, iu the form of n dress-maker. The king
lias, we believe, no children by his former wives.
Dry Goods Market.
New York, Aug. 29.—The large silk houses hav
been crowded with customers, the south no J louf
western trade being now at its height. The styles'
goods iu tiie fancy line this year are extremely v
ried aniL rich. Ribbons, more especially the his
colors, are in great demand. Thus far they hatepa
a good profit to the Importer, and there is nofitoi
present appearances likely to be a large amoiintle
over. High colored and rich fancy silks m ago
deal sought after and the sales run up to a high I
ure. There is some complain] among the importei
of dull trade; this is occasioned by jobbers impel
ing their own goods. Their sales to the present tin
are lurger than in any previous year, in other Jrr
goods thero is quite as much doing ns could be ex]
ted. and in fact as much in all kindB of goods as
jobbers desire. The heavy sales iu Mousenlin
Laiua are not to be wondered ut when the beauty
the designs, the rich colors and cheapness ot the ar
cle are taken into consideration. The current ral
for Manchester are 17 u 20 cents, aud for high cole
21 cents; Himilton 17 a 18 cents.
There seems to be quite an extensive business -
ried on in the shawl trade; large plaids being!
most in vogue. Nearly every jobber in the city a*
large piles of them which crowd their counters*
lofts.
