THOMPSON, EDITOR T r. n M s : Dally Pjijipr, $4,00::::: Tri-weekly, $2 00 All new Advertisements appear in both papers. From the London Daily News, Aug. 20. French SiingeiitionH for the Loudon Exliibi- bitiou of 1851. The following suggestion* have been addressed to' the producers and manufacturers of France, as to tho products it is desirable to send to. the Exhibition of l-Jbl, by M. Charles Dupin, President of the French tleneral Comittee: Great Britain, in the midst of her progress and in ternal pinco, challenges #11 the lately disturbed na tions to a combat ot indie-trial shill ; silo appoints her meriting at London, on May 1st, 1851. If France had chosen le-r time, she would not have selected the peri mi between 1830and 1852; she would not bnvc selected that, era in her life, when such severe struggles have ••nfeehlod her for llie present, and weakened her con- ildencc in the future. France, nevertheless, will not complain ot the courtesy of an appeal which tends to bring nations together in assembling the works of their iiandij impoverished, or rnther less rich ns i lie is, by struggles too long continued, she yet re tains snlticient strength and courage not to decline nil honorable and loyal combat. Among tho products valued at 180 million francs (7.200,000/.) which our agriculture and our manufacturers send cueii year to England, we shall he able to make n skillul and cor in't choice snpjiorted by n sanction the least excep tionable of all, that of the consumers ol Great llri- taiu. Got ub throw a glance over the kinds of French pro ducts that we should wish more particularly to see iorwarded to London. We will tollow very nearly the methodical order indicated by the oliicial returns of our exportations. England does not ndmit to her Exhibition ntiy liv ing animal. We must avail ourselves of the Exhibi tion to offer to the summons and recherche tables of Groat Britain out post esteemed butters, and our va rieties of cheeses, so well appreciated by connoisseurs. We phould try on this occasion what wools of France nml Algeria nre worth the notice of the foreigner; whereby we shall be enabled to direct the develope- tnont and training of our lloeks both in the mother country and on the borders of the Atlus. Thu agri culture of France finds in England an important mar ket tor many sor s of iuw and spun silks; wo must ex hibit all our resources, and the varied qualities of our goat's ludr, (fee., (setifires,) tho greater the demand of tile foreign er for these productions, the greater the abundance we shall create for oUrown manufacturers. Our dyed silks, bo h fur weaving and other purposes nre worthy also of being offered for competition. Vegetable Kingdom.—Within the last few years tho markets of England have afforded us un inipor- hint opening for our wheat and other kinds of grain. The English have n high opinion of our farinaceous preparations, ourgronts, our biscuits de Rheims, and those ot Fans and our pastes, imitating so remarka- ldy those of Itnly, The skill of tho French cultivators has succeeded in producing grent improvements, and many new varieties of our most delicious fruits; it we add to them those of Corsica and Algerin, we shall form a collection of the most perfect and beau tiful products of the temperate zone. Provence, by the eKill of its producers, prepares the.oil of olives in greater perfection than in any other country. At the •nine time Algeria can show specimens of her cheap oils, lit for manufacturing purposes. She can also exhibit her cork, likewise her woods, so richly colour ed, and ot such varied shades, for cabinet work. In madder we linvc a material for dyeing esteemed in England; it must ho exhibited in all its forms employ ed in commerce, green, dry, and powdered. Our soil is rich in bitumen, which for several years lias formed it valuable Item in our exports, and cs- e eially to England. It is by moans of her mechanical ingenuity that Franco is enabled tdlsell, even to Eng- land, certain kinds of wire, sheet iron, mid steel finings. Wo sell also in England our rolled and drawn metals, and especially our zinc; wo uro ena bled then, to send these for exhibition. We appeal to tho chemical arts, brought in Franco to such perfection for the preparations, more numer ous every day, ol oxydes ond ncids, alkalis and salts which are supplied to every nation by the commerce of France; hero wo may exhibit p-oductioua remar. knblo for (heir invention, improvemeutin the mode oft)reparation, and diminution in tho price. The preparation ot colors owes no less to French ingenuity—witness tho artificial ultramarine We may present nt the exhibition our superior pencils in which trndo has nlrcnrty taken the lead. ’ The prrfumers of France extract must skilfully the natural aroma Irorn our plants and dowers of the Apis and Pyrenees, and soon, we hope, from those jyt the Atlas. After the United States, England is tho greatest consithnr of our perfumes. To France is owing the extraction of quinine and its preparation under tho form of sulphates. Tills i of our claims on the consideration of mankind, Out 1 common soaps form no Unimportant uni t of nur exportations to Client Iiritian. Tho Rrt ot equal ling wux caudles by the etenrine ncid belongs to the scientific discoveries of France. It is a title to he main tained nt the exhibition, by showing all tile progress this valuable manufacture has made. We have brought the manufacture of our glues nnd gelatines to such a degree of perfection that we may exhibit them with confidence against tho most iitiDroved specimens. 1 The tobacco of our manufacture, for a long time lmporfeet, now possesses qualities esteemed bv foreigners. Wo must show our verv best sneci. mens of this material. 1 England who produces no wine herself, allows’ of none to her exhibitions; hut she admits the vnri <iu* kinds of spirits. France possesses brandies, tho most choice ot liquors; sho has others also wonder fully cheap—to qualities equally valuable. At Sarreguemine* arosoour manufactures of artifi cial porphyry, appropriate only to the splendor of tjmples and palaces. The manufacture ot porcelain is an art where French genius finds a field for its com bined excellencies—economy in fuel, simplicity in mechanical contrivance, taste, nnd elegntico of form color and doeigu; these nre what foreigners nppreci- oto in our cheap, elegant nnd beautiful porcelain Li moges and Fnris, will prove nt the Exhibition of L#i- doll, the respective merits of their manufactures. In tlie common kindsql'glass,ns in pottery Rnd wrought iron, the price of fuel is our adversary. We enter the lists with advantage in the superior manufactures ot glnas ; we muBt exhibit our mirrors polished by improved process, our glass colored by mi ingenious chemical application, nnd the glass manufactured with zinc instead of lend, which gives promise of in creased refractive power to our lenses lor optical and astronomical instruments. lly uncensiug efforts we are able, by means of system and economy, to introduce some of our printed and dyed fabrics evqp into the markets of Britain: this liouour is shared by the unpretending fabrics of Rouen, us well as the richer productions o? Alsace. Generally, our wool is dearer than that of England, soalso iortlio same reason id our worsted yarn, and common cloth; there are, nevertheless cerium kinds ot spun wool supplied liy us to En gland. Notwithstanding the disadvantage of nrico in the raw material, our lira-cloths, kerseymeres, our mixed Minis, and our so-culled Ternaux shawls, find enlightened purchasers in the British markets. The we merino* alone figures in our exports at tho P suniol five millions of franc's (200.000/.;) « careful selection must he mode of these various products to , escutto tho Exhibition.

Printing, considered simply os a mechanical art, allows no longer of superiority among nations where the arts are already advanced. But the printing of works requiring both science nnd erudition marks al ways tho intellectual advancement of nations by the perfection of its greatest enterprises. Among the monument* of French typoernnhy must he rei-Kortcd tuo m»tchl>-?r collection of types of the Imprimeri- Rationale. Tho printing and, engraving of music have inudn most remarkable progress through tho ingenious combination which nur typographers have invented, Tlie English have originated the continuous impres lea employed by the newspapers. An inven tion, which is now being perfected, will enable ns to ofterto London the means of obtaining, in the short est space of time, Tho multiplicationto nn almost un limited extent of the copies ot a liew-papor. French taste has carried to a great extent the branch of fancy printing for visiting cards and circulars of nllkinde with the most diversified ornaments. Lithography, both plain and coloured, has made unceasing pro. gren>. , England purchniea from France our tunned nnd dressed hides, which are used by its bootmakers. This article alone yields nn annual business of three millions of francs (120,000/2). She appreciates equal ly our superior morocco leather. Even to this day, she finds it more advantageous to purchase our gloves rather than the lambskin of which they are made. We possess, at present, the description of hides best adapted lor the superior kiuds of harness, nnd our first saddlers combine elegance of form with sound workmanship. We appeal to their spirit of enter prise to establish at the Exhibition nt London, a well deserved renown for the harness of France, even nt the side of that of England. We call equally upon our most distinguished car riage makers to semi to London thcirtown nnd travel ling cnrrikges, executed in tho most finished style of comfort, elegance nnd solidity. The lint manufacture of France is nt present ns va ried in tho mllteriuls it employs as in tlie ever chang ing forms it applies them to; tlie hat manufacturer should, by strenuous efforts, nttempt n competition, which it is iu a condition to sustain withhuuor; to l’aris nnd Lynns should he confided this task. Tim elegant work of straw bonnet making in French straw, may equal tin; fabrics of Florence; it has al ready made progress in the English markets We ought to have been able to export to England our sickles and scythes, if we were better acquainted with tlie particular excellence of the raw material, which should ever be considered as the element of definitive success. Gold and silversmith's work arid jewelry, nre n- mmigst tne arts carried to the greatest perfection by the l’aris workman. It is a glory to he sustained. The cloekmakers of f ranco sell annually to En gland clocks to tho value of nearly 40,000/., and of watches notone, cither in or out of cases. The ex periments in movements made by ou- manufactur ers deserve a better late; it is very desirable that they lie exhibited. The construction of chronome ter* is carried im nt Faria with n perfection that will stand the test of the most minute experiments ot our astronomers nnd the proof* at the observatory.— Our chronometers should Im exhibited to show ihe state of precision to which France has brought this art. In i he manufacture of machinery, by economy of fuel and workmanship, we are enabled to export to tlie extent of half n million francs (20,000/.) a yenr to England. Our manufacturers construct locomotives which, even in price, are on a level with those of Grent Britain—equal also in workmanship. Let us compete in locomotives. We can exhibit also portable arms, guns, pistols, sabres, which combine every desirable quality. We have revived the manufacture of damusked arms; we equal in taste and richness the fine productions of Italy, Spain, and tho oust, even in tlie best eras of works in this kind. Tlie foreigner seeks our surgical instruments for their ingenious form, their perfect temper, and their comparative cheapness; we fear not to state tlint no people have done more for humanity than our own, by contriving new or improved instruments for the most varied and important operations. Turned ware, fancy trimmings and embroidery, inns, parasols and umbrellas—nil these objects, re presenting millions, taken collectively, acquire im portance. Let us not forget a branch of trade which, assidu ously studied, rivals nature itself—this is.the produc tion of artificial llowers in every possible variety. Of these Franco sells to the extent of a million i'rnncs (40,0001) to tho foreigner; and England with the Uni ted States, purchases more than half this amount. In reviving tlie furniture of the Mayen age, ahd of the Renaissance, as also that of the period of Louis XVI, the joiner and cabinet maker have taken a re markable position in our export trade. England is by far our largest consumer, and it is her approba tion therefore we should tho more, endeavor tu ob tain. YVe are rivals with lior in mathematical instruments, and in those of philosophy, optics, anil astronomy. Our musical instruments ure worthy also of compar ison . We are far from thinking that we have enumerated all theproducts mid all the means ofproduction which nre worthy of competing at this exhibition. It will he for the exhibitors of France to carry out fur 1851 what they would do for our own exposition of 1854 —they must surprise us by bringing forward im provements, inventions, of which we dure not yet claim tlie honor for our manufacturers. S3 1 KTA IU o Friday Morning, September 13, 1S50. Largest Circulation in the City!! Death or a Sea Captain and Sickness of the Chew. The Bchooner Henry, (,'npt. Noiitiihop C. Hawley, (of Baltimore,) put into Tybec on Friday last, iu consequence of the sickness of all hands on board. She is from Darien, bound to New York, and has a cargo of lumber. Capt. IIawley, was brought to this city, mid died yesterday morning nt 1 o’clock. The crew of t ie sclir. are all sick, nnd are in the hospital. We understand Capt. Hawley bus n fami ly who reside in Connecticut. Every attention was paid him during his illness,and the Hags of our sloping in port were displayed at halt mast yesterday, in taken of respect to his memory. The Productions of France —We arc indebted to a triend (who will please accept our thanks for this and many other lavors) fur a copy of the Lon don Daily News, from which we take the recommen dations ot the 1- rcnch General Committee for the World’s Exhibition, to he held nt London in May next. It is n summary of tho productions, agricul tural, scientific and mechanical, of that country, which will ho extremely interesting in a commercial point of view. The Savannah Day-Book.—A specimen number of this new pnper, edited nnd published by Messrs. W. G. Flinn & Co., (a firm of practical printers re cently discharged from service) was placed in our hands last evening. Its prefatory editorial is a well written appeal to tlie charity of tile public, nnd to that spiritof justice ill the community which they invoke to protect them against oppressions which, they as sert, have been inflicted upon them. Appeals ’like this nre not made in vain in Savannah, end if their ns- section is correct- -which we have no reason to doubt —they will he heard and protected. , They undertake to perform all that is usually ex pected of a daily paper, and have hoisted the standard of neutrality—pot tame silence, bur an independent course in religion and politics. We trust that this paper will adhere to its independence, let the can- sequences be what they may; for the day is past when the servile hacks of party can huvo the sympathy ul' independent and reflecting men. J he Day Dock.— r lbis concern has become ” our neighbor over tlie way.” It was towed up to Low’s wharf on the opposite side of the river, yesterday. 13P We regret to learn that Georoe Rr^n.Esq formerly of Augusta, and late Mayor of Jacksonville' Fla. was lying in so precarious a situation with diarr- lia's, last night, cm hoard tho steamer St. Mathews. from Florida, that his physician despaired of his surviving through the night. Ilis lady was with him, and they were on their way to tho Indian Springs, in this State, to endeavor to restore ills declining health. The St. Mathews. The steamer St. Mathews. Capt. Kino, arrived from Florida last evening about S o’clock. She was due un Wednesday noon, hut on her passage to Florida broke her shaft, and continued her voyage, and returned to this city in her disabled condition, working but one wheel. Illness of Bi3Hop Bascom. We~iearu from the Louisville Courier that Bishop Buscom is lying very low in that city, and that but slight hopes are euter- tnined ol his recovery. He appear t to be gradually inking. limit l<>! IJimtle! Ilueinora is commencing in earnest. The inces.nnt clatter of drnys, laden with goods, over the Flunk- Read in front of our door, notifies us every hour in t-ie day that the summer is gone, and that the full, the busy fall, is upon us. Go where we will, and we nre tumbling over boxes nnd barrels, lying in front ot stores nnd warehouses; clerks nre running Into each other at the corners, with their hills of lading nnd marking pots in hand; and M-ntimcntal buggy horses nre unceremoniously taken out of fash ionable buggies where they huve been spending tho summer with their economical owners, and made to perform the vulgar duty of hauling goods in a wagon or dray. And travel, too, will soon he coining through. Omnibusses will roll up to the hotels at night with their living freights, in funny shirt collars and queer shaped hats. And now occasionally, a fa miliar face is seen on the bay—just from the Springs or the Big North, returning to solier work. Foor souls I that have not been allowed the privilege of staying here during the iiot months, hut huvo been compelled to seek pleasure abroad. Pleasure I Two in a bed, two beds m the room, and the room ten teet square I How glad they must be to get back. Witli what pleasure they talk when tlie time of departure nrrives, of the brilliant company, the fine living, the tlie merry night* ot dancing, the fishing, the hunting, the riding and tlie frolicking they are going to have when they get uwny, and what money they spend on tiusel and toggery, for some grand fancy hull. And then how they voiv when they get hack to their com fortable homes,, that they will never go there (that is, whenever they happen to huve gone on this wild goose chase) to spend another summer. Well, they have our sympathy, and next year tu prove how dis interested we are, we will go ourselves and let them stay, and enjoy a summer at home. Y'ea, the season of leisure is gone, and tlie haunts of idleness are broken up. We may no longer,—tlint is we thut have business reputations to take care of, or business to do—stroll along Bull street, and across the common, to lounge awuv an utternoon, and listen to the dclighttul scrums of toe hand that made Hodg son’s Turk so attractive. We may no longer recline on the rustic seats of thut favorite resort, and in all tlie glory of Bachelorship, take the only means allowed us, of handing ouruaines down to posterity—by curv ing them on the tines und benches. The weather bus been disagreeable; and new, even tlie bund has disappeared, und the bevies of beauties who enlivened that spot, no longer enchant and en chain us with their presence there ; ami there are no more vehicles driven up, to peep into and to get a familiar nod from: all, ail is solitude. Truly, The melancholy days are come—the saddest of year!” But pleasure cannot lari always. If it did, it would hardly be pleasure. As those who have never suf fered from sickness can have no conception of the value of good health, so, those who know not what labor is, linvc no idea of the luxury of u little leisure. And besides, winter has its attractions. Those that like such excitement, can dance away the long winter evenings at public bulls or private parties. Those that have homes, (oh! blessed privilege I) can spend their comfortable cozy hours beside the family hearth, with tlie sweet iaccs of friends and companions nround them. And those that have neither halls nor parties to go to, nor homes to love, can look forward, ns we do, to the arrival every week of the steamer from N jw Y'ork, with something fresh to cat I Come to think of it, and after nil, we don't believe that these are 6ucli “ melancholy days” that are com ing. Our sensitive hearts arc touched with the pros pect of the last mentioned enjoyment; and, with the anticipating spirit ol one who is determined to antici pate something good, wo have n dim forshadowing in our mind's eye, oi working hard all day—for that is good—and ut night of meeting a few chosen compan. ions, and talking over tho uffnirs and the fun of the duy—nnd tlint, too, is' good—und, finally, winding up over a hot whis we beg pardon of tlie Toona- howi's, the Yemussee’s, and all those folks who “ nev er indulge,” but though we don’t like to mention it, we could tell of something else that is good, very good on n cold night. Yes, bye and bye, the Florida nnd her consort will be bringing out old friends, freight, new acquaintances, lobsters, beef, invalids, nnd Blue Point oysters; nnd our heart fills with the pleasant anticipation of taking some dear friend by tho hand, while a sympathetic drop stands upon the corner of our mouth, nt tlie prospect of taking to our yearning bosom, “a dozen raw on tlie half shell." So much for the advent of tlie business season. We like to see it; because business brings money, und money brings tlie means of rational enjoyment—and what do we live for, if it is not to enjoy life I ESP Our Telegraphic correspondent Rt Baltimore being sick, nnd unable to communicate with us, we take the telegraphic news from the Georgian of yes terday .

Obstinate Attempts at .Suicide.—In New Or leans, on t'ue 25th of last month, a lady, by the name ot Mrs. Mary Young, attempted, to drown herself by deliberately jumping into the river from the wharf at the toot of Foydra* street. The mute of the steam er Oluo, seeing her jump in. leaped in niter her and rescued her.

Havana, Bept. 3,1840. Dear Delta.;—I have not had an opportunity for the conveyance of any package since the last steamer, und there hus been hut little of interest to communi cate. On the 92d we wrro visited with a severe storm, which we are willing to assume as the equinoctial dues, and be grateful. It commenced blowing at this point at <) o'clock A. M., from the 8.W., varying to the B. and B. by E., und moderated nt half past 11, occasioning no very great damage to the shipping. Although several vessels went adrift and got foul, but one was driven ashore, the brig Machieoline, Ameri can—she was got off on the 33d ult. Tlie damage to the growing crop, ns far aa heard from, on the Island, has been ot much more moment—the plantain, the most essential fruit, bus been almost entirely destroy ed, and the late corn materially-injured. The cane also has suffered, but it may not cause a great dimi nution ot tiie product. \Ve calculate thut it will equal tho last year’s crop, which was unusually large. The impression obtains here, that the trials of the Contoy prisoners have closed, and that sentence has been passed, but we have not the official announce moot, to show you how justice is meted out—report gives tiirec and eight years, hut how ond to whom ap portioned, we do not know. Also, that the seven sea men are to be released. It is a pity that tho United States Spanish convict transport ships nre not here, to finish this work of glory, or some of the half dozen naval diplomatists, to win new laurels in procuring their release. We are in daily expectation of tho arrival of Gen. Emm, who will be the commander in chief of the ar my, and second to the Captain-General in oliicial po sition—lie is preceded by favorable reports as to his elevated character and qualifications for the responsi ble post he is to occupy. It is said that the Conde Alcoy will leave soon alter his arrival, and net wait the advent of his successor, in which case the su preme power will temporarily full upon Gen. Ennn. The two war steamers, Colon and l’izarro, went to sea very unexpectedly night before last, undun especial train has been ordered to be kept in readiness since yesterday morning at the railroad depot, to move at a moment's notice. What it meuns, we speculateupon but we do not know. [Special Correspondence of the Picayune.] Havana, September 3,1850. Dear Pic. We are again ahoy with rumors of a new expedition. Yesterday all Havana was astir with the stoiy that Lopex was nt Key West, with I don’t know how many thousands ot men, and scores of ships. Some innocent citizens, in blissful ignorance of geography—with us it may truly be said the school master is abroad—-went down to the sea shore to have a look at the monster. That man Lopez must be decidedly ubiquitous. Yesterday he was dissolv ing tlie Union, and to-day we have him on the borders of the dominions of Bpain, severing the brightest jewel from her crown. What will come next ? as tlie sailor said when he was blown up by the ill-timed explosion of the juggler’s fireworks. New-York Money Market. The New York Journal ot Commerce of Thursday says: There is a better feeling in the money market to day. The announcement of the Empire City with about $1,000,000 in gold dust, of which $75t),U0d on freight, has given a little more spirit to capitalists, and tlie prospective disbursement to morrow of $1,500,000 from the Subtreasury here to holders oi mint certificates has also had a fuvorable effect. Loans on call are more easily effected, and business paper can be negotiated, butn at the banks and in the street, on better terms. The statement which we published thismorning’in regard to the relative amount of our Imports nnd Ex ports tor the last two months, seems also to give more confidence to those, who from the various rumors and assertions in regard to it were apprehensive that there was an overwhelming balance of trade against us. The Stock market remains depressed for nearly all descriptions. Exchange is quiet at easy rates. The Boston Journal says: The deterioration in our goliji coins has CRUsed con siderable conversation of lute in our banking institu tions. It is ascertained that the coinage of only a few years date is quite deficient in weight; so much so, that parcels ot $5000 or less, fall short several dollars, According to the standard eagles, half eagles, &c. are a legal tender at a certain specified weight, and if they uo not weigh the requisite amount, can they be received at iho court/ The difference in weight of a single piece is very trilling, but in the aggregate there is quite a deficiency 'i’iiid process of deterioration is going on from day to day, and the coins which at this time are full weight, will in a lew months, perhaps, according to the wear, be designated as light coin. We understand the bunks in this city have decided to receive gold only nt weight, which decision we think is according to law. b The Louisville Tragedy. It has been stated by tel egraph that a young girl, ‘Lizzy Sinkhorne,’ was shot m a brothel at Louisville, Ky., on the 28th lilt., by John Fig, who afterwards killed himself. The Louisville papers say that she died of her wounds on the iollowingdny, at the home of her parents, whom she had deserted. Tho Courier gives the fol lowing particulars : “ i here were some affecting incidents connected with this affair. The girl, whose real name we learn is hpikewell, had formed a strong attachment for tlie man Fig, who sought to murder her. He had per suaded her to forsakeiier companions and live entire ly with him, and, in spite of tlie most brutal treat- ment on ins part, she remained with him, and shar ed her ill-gotten gains with him. On the day previ ous to toe attempted murder, he had beaten nnd bruised her in such a maimer that she was compelled to lly from him and seek shelter in the house of Mrs. Itcutro, whore she had formerly resided. He watch ed the house from the back yard until ho saw her en ter a room m the basement—he followed her into tlie room, and without saying a word, sought to place tne muzzle ot a pistol against her breu.-t in the re- giun ot her heart. Bhe sought to avoid his aim bv shrinking behind the furniture of the room, and ged mm not to shoot her.
