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.

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. ,ib a Protectionist, his return w«« supposed to bn sure lint lie was In Men.

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.

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?

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.

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 land and Ireland. 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. Six of the principal auctioneers in the city sold, during the past six mouths, goons to tho value of 310,(>9-1,031 51—the duties amounted to $39,783 2I>. 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.

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.)

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.

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.

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. Shipping intelligence. PORT OF SAVANNAH. - - - SEP'i’EMBKttl P O UT CALENDAR. MOON’S PHASES.
