Jenny Lino. The New fork papers state.thaj
Jenny Lind's Fifth Concert, on Saturday niglit
last, was attended by a larger number ol persons
thnn cither of the previous ones, and that the enthu
siasm was unbounded. Jenny, seems, however, to
have fallen under the displeasure of one or two of
the New York editors, who are saying all manner of
unkind things about her, mid, her manager, Mr. Bar.
num. Wo have within I at day or two past read ar
ticles in certain New York prints.in reference to them
that have caused us to blush for tho character of the
American press.
Our correspondent Charlemac snys, it is rumor
ed' 11 New lurk, that Jenny has .expressed her un
willingness to sing ill a Slave State. VVe can’t believe
, it. We have joo high an opinion of her good sense,
to suppose tuat Jenny would make such a Judy of
herself. She is, however, closely beset by mendicants
... and canting fanatics—the Hutchinsons. havo been
to see her, and whined out some of their Abolition
doggerel to her, and there is no telling what influence
bad company may have upon her susceptible nature.
She would not be the first one thut had been ruined

CongreBMionnl Proceedings.
The proceedings of Congress on Monday last wero
not of sufficient interest to ho given in detail. In the
Senate, Mr. Benton failed in his effort to obtain an
appropriation todefray the expense of experiments
with Protesaor Page's electro-magnetic engine. One
thousand dollura was voted to purchase copies of
John Adams's writings.
Mr. Dawson moved an item, paying $2,000 mileage
to the Senators from New Mexico.
A debate followed, in which Mr. Foote opposed
it, and pronounced the interference of the late ad
ministration in New Mexcim affairs ns infamous.
Mr.* Downs, Mr. Ewing and others defended the
measure showing that New Mexico stood on the
same ground with California.
Mr. Halo said there was one difference. Cal if or
nla got in and New Mexico did not.
Mr. Dickinson said there was no time to go over
that ground again.
Mr. Rusk would not discuss the subject now ; but
at a proper time, ho would sluw that Texas was act
ing within tlie pale of the cogitation. gg
The amendment was rejected—yeas 23, nays 24.
Other unimportant amendments to tho General
Appropriation Bill were considered.
The House of Representatives occup led the day
In the discussion of amendments to the Naval Ap
propriation Bill. The amendment prohibiting flog,
ging on board tho national vessels was passed by a
vote of 131 ayes, to 29 uays, after which ihn Bill was
passed by a vote of 111 ayes to 48 nays. An amend
ment had been passed abolishing the spirit ration,
and another prohibiting the officers from using wine or
spirituous liquors while on duty, except when pre
scribed as mediciue. Both those amendments were,
however, superseded by the one prohibiting the lash
So our tars are y et to huve thei r grog and the officers
their wine. This is us it should bo. Let them es
tablish as many temperance societies as they will-
let every muster-roll bo headed by tile Temperance
Pledge; but pass nodegrading legal restrictions,which
could only abridge the liberty of our sailors', without
effecting the least possible good. We think Jack
would be mnefi more willing to do without the lash
than his grog, especially in rough weather.

The New York Herald says: —From accounts
continually coming to hand from the East, there is
no doubt that the potao crop of that section baa
been very seriously injured. The disease has at
tacked the plant in all parts of the United States and
the British Provinces ; but the effect has been more
disastrous in the New England States than in any
etbor part of the country.

THE GROWING COTTON IN JAMAICA.
ENGLAND ABANDONING HEM COLONIES.
We find the following letters in the New York
Evening Express ot Monday. They develop a sad
state of things In the British Islands.
Kingston. Jainaicn, Sent. 14,1850.
The weather for the last two weeks has been very
unfavorable, but ns the manufacturing process has
nearly closed on all tlio Sugar Estates, the plantors
have not been so m uoh inconvenienced ns they other
wise would be. The crop will bo greatly behind the
yield of last year, which will cuubo hundreds of
planters to forsake the culture of the cane, and adopt
tile cotton plant, now so successfully tried here. On
Green Pond Estate I inspected lust week, a Held of
cotton, containing 20 acres, the whole of which was
in a thriving and healthy condition. The appearance
of the Ben Island plant is gratifying in the extreme,
as the shrubs, though not above 3 feet high, are liter
ally covered with brilliant blossoms,and give premise
ot a lair reward to the agriculturists, and leaves not
a doubt hut thut the experiment will result in cotton
becoming the staple of this Island.
The Southampton steamer arrived here a few days
ago, and her nows is pregnant with evil, throwing all
the inhabitants of the British West India Islands into
gloom and dispair, notwithstanding the misfortunes
of the present day.
The Govenor of this Island (Sir Charles E. Grey.)
and all others swaying British command in the
West Indies, have received circulars from the Home
Colonial Secretary of State, to the effect that utter
the first day ot June, 1851, each colony will be com
pelled to support its own military establishment, ns
the authorities nt home deem it expedient to with
draw the respective British force from euch Settle
ment or Colony. Should this infamous threat lie
carried into execution his Imperial Majesty ol lluyti
will bo empowered to extend uml strengthen his em
pire, ns not a white person, tor tlio short space ot a
month, could, if inclined, remain with safety ill the
Island.
'J'he Commnndcr-in-Chief of the North American
and West India Stution (Earl Dumdonuld) has been
recalled at the instance of Lord Ilowdon, British
Minister in Madrid, and Vice Admiral Sir Charles
Malcom appointed to be his successor. The latter
officer is us known to be a favorite ut the Court of Is-
nb el.
The instructions cfhls government he will rigidly
observe, and he has given assurance that the authori
ties of Culm, can at nil times command himselt, his
men, nnd his vt ssels. He is represented to lie a tar
ot the Nelson schooil and unshuken in purpose.
Tort of Stain, (Trinidad,) Aug. 21.
Since I wrote you lust, most unwelcome news hns
reached us from the Mother country, viz. tile propo
sed withdrawnlofullthe white troops, leaving us only
n mere handful ol black soldiers to take care of our
lives; should thid bo carried into effect, I look for the
most direful consequences; the teriblo scenes of San
Domingo. &c„ will be enacted here. The bitter feel
ing between the blacks and whites,that 1 noticed since
my arrival here, is increasing daily, and an opportu
nity ulone is wanted tor thefarmore numerous blacks
to exterminate the few wh'tes remaining. Strenuous
efforts are making to call the cnilous attention of the
British Government to our deplorable condition and
I trust most sincerely that they will listen.—A Short
time, however, will decide. *****
Italian Affairs There is.snys the N. Y. Express,
an important rumor relating to Haitian affairs, which
if it turns out to be true, is likely to exorcise a fno-
meutous influence in the politics of that part of Eu
rope, which seems destined never to be freed from
French or English intervention. Lord Palmerston,
we Rre informed, has addressed to the court of the
Vnticnn a most energetic note, in which he cautions
it ngninst ndopting violent measures towards Sardi
nia and persevering in the system hitherto pursued
by the Pope with regard to the government. We
wonder how those Englishmen who believe in the
“repressive foreign policy” which Blackwood lays
down ns the moBt proper for the British Government
to piirsuein relation to Continental uffuirs, will relish
this last “error" of tlio Secretary of Foreign Af
fairs. If Englnnd is not disposed to lend a helping
hBnd to such of her neighbors on the Continent as
have been trying to infuse a little more liberalism
into the antique tyrnnies under which they are groan
ing, Lord Palmerston, nt least, shows a disposition
to use fair pltiy.
Texas Crops. The corn crop around San Antnnio
and New Braunfels is abundant. It was much need
ed. New cotton has been sent, into Houston. The
corn crop is fully mntured around Bastrop, nnd
yields well—cotton very promising. One more rain
nud every planter would make more thnn he could
gather. This was pretty much the case throughout
the .State. The sugar crop will probably full short
of last year in proportion to the amount planted, but
the aggregate will be greater, and yield per acre suf
ficient to satisfy all reasonable hope. Around Victo
ria the cotton was very promising, and the bolls ma
turing and opening fast. The planters busily engag
ed in "piekINg. No sign of the worm. Better crops
would be mude than tlliving the Inst live years.
Caft. rarker II. French. The Victoria (Texas)
Advocate affirms that Cupt. Parker II. French did, him
self, draw nnd negocinte the forged draits on tlio
house of Howland & Aspinwall New York.
Rejoicings. In Boston, on Saturday last, a nntion.
al salute of one hundred guns was tired on behalf of
both political parties, without distinction of parly,in
testimony ofthej iy of her citizens In the fact yiat
tho slavery agitation was over in Congress.
The Boston Advertiser, alluding to this demonstra.
tiou, snys:
“In this joy we have no doubt a great majority of
the people, not only of this city, but ol the Common
wealth, cordially participates. These measures are
cordially approved because by the adoption of the
entire series, they accomplish, as an incidental effect,
a great national object which is far more important to
the country atlargc than the specific benefits proposed,
from the several acts taken individually.
Rev Henry Ward Beecher, who returned from
Europe in the steamer Asia, publishes an article over
liis acknowledged -ignature, in the Boston Indepen
dent, oi llmrsdny ot last week, which contains
charges against the proprietor of the Cunnrd lino of
steamers, which seriously impeach his civility nnd
good manners, if nothing more. Mr. B. says that
there were nine clergymen on board and that Mr.
Cunnrd who came out in tho steamer to Halifax, re
fused to allow any one to preach except those of the
Episcopal Church and of the Established Church of
Scotland. We copy the following paragraph from
the letter:—
On the second Sabbath Mr. Cnnnrd invited a Trcs-
byterinn clergyman of the Established Church ot
Scotland to preach, after the service had been read.
Every one was rejoiced that this worthy gentleman
had been permitted to preach ; but it wus asked
upon rvhut considerations the rule liud been broken,
and why a Scotch Presbyterian had been permitted
to preach, hut American Methodist clergymen, or
Presbyterian, or Congregational had been forbidden?
Mr. Cuuuni quite lost his temper under such ques
tionings. Tho gentleman from Boston said iu the
most friendly manner to him thut such an arrange
ment was calculated to produce ill feeling towards
the Cunnrd lino among Americans, who were quire
unused to such restrictions upon the right of reli
gious worship. Mr. Cunnrd replied very tartly that
ne knew very well that Americans would patronize
their own steamers (alluding to Collins line) ns soon
as they had as much confidence in their safety ns
they hud in his ; that it made him angry to have such
intimations held out for threats ; nud he added, in so
many words, that if Americans did not choose to go
irr his ships, “ let them stay nwuyl" lie afterwards
repeated the fame remark to the writer, in the pres
ence of several others, and added that it'we did not
choose to go in that line, “ we might go to h—11!" He
said that he wished tho American'people distinctly to
understand this. In that wish we so fully sympa
thized, that wo thought it a duty to call the attention
of tho public to this mutter.
Manufacture of Corn Starch.—At Oswego, N. Y.,
there is a manufactory which turns out 40,000 pounds
of what is said to be the whitest nnd most benutifu
starch for all domestic purposes, for fhe 1 nuhdry or
pantry, and consumes 200 bushels of corn per week.
This new application of com may prove valuable to
western farmers especially, ana create an increased
demand for com, as starch is very oxtonsively used.
Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
New York, Sept. 23, 1850.
In nnd before tho opening overture at Jenny Lind’s
concert on Snturdny night, tho audience were Sur
prised by the tiring of cannons on the Bay, nnd their
urprize wus not n little increased when it became
known, that the Pacific had nrrived, giving the crown
ing triumph to Collins’s Line, by making the short
est passage on record—ten days, five hours and a
hall from port to port. If the Cunarders can beat
this—why then John Bull can take Uncle Sinn’s hat,
and that it will be attempted,! feel assured. How
ever, no fair trial ot epeedsCuu be mado, so long us
there is a restrictive law, as regards the pressnro of
steam to be used, unless indeed, an arrangement be
made between the parties, that one of Collins steamers
shall make one voyage, with only the same quantity
that the Cunarders are allowed, propotionutcly of
course, to the difference of tonage. I wish the ques
tion were decided, so that we might really know to
which the palm belongs.
There are long fnces nt the Custom House again
to-day, as it is rumored that the .Senate will not act on
Mr. Maxwell’s nomination, nnd in that case the com
mission expires, and tho President must make nno-
tner nomination. He may re nominate Maxwell, but
I hardly think that probable, nfter the significant con
duct oi the Senate, nnd knowing the fact, that all
tho New York Delegation ure opposed to him, as the
new man, will of course, have friends to oblige; of
course u great many of Maxwell’s men will have to
walk the plunk. Thus we go—life is a regulnr see
saw—now wo go up, up, uppy, and now we go down,
down, downy.
The Drury trial is not crcntiug much excitement
nt present, and it seems to be the general impression
that the jury will fail to agree, for the second time,
and then the discharge' ot the accused will he de
manded. Warner, 1 guess, has gone to Europe, and
a sale of his effects is to take place this week, lie has
so fixed his affairs, that his wife cannot touch any of
the property.
I understand tliat every ticket has been sold for
Jenny Lind’s concert to-mor' ow night.—there will be
a greater crowd than ever, 1 expect. I viewed the
immense mass of people, from the balcony, on Sat
urday niglit, and the spectacle was grand mid iinpo
sing. Jenny visited the Herald establishment this
morning, and it is astonishing how quicKlv the news
spread. In a few minutes, there wus a crowd of se
veral hundred persons, completely blocking up the
street; nud shouting, und hurrahing like mud when she
app nred. It was with great difficulty that she en
tered her carriage, and when it drove off, it was fol
lowed by tho exc ted inob. Gratifying as such popu
larity must be, it nevertheless, must he excediniily
unpleasant. She leaves here on Wednesday for Boston,
by the Fall River routs',but will return early next week
and will not leave New York .again, for some time ;
hut gives a long series of concerts ; probably til ty.
Mr. Barnum lias had several applications, to take
Jenny to various second and third class cities ; but
he has invariably refused, unless ho is guaranteed
from $8,000 to $10,000. So the good people of Sa
vannah, know at whut cost they can hear the nightin
gale,and regulate themselves accordingly. By the by Cl
though, I see it intimated in a Richmond paper, that
she refuses to sing in a slave State. I dont know if
it bo so or not, but it hns not been so stated here.
The amount of specie shipped from this port last
week was $175,079—total since January 1st $5,501,•
689.
The Onderdonk affair will be agitated again this
week, ns the Episcopal Convention assembles on
Monday next. It is rumored that the Bishop will
resign, provided he he allowed to name his successor.
There will bo another exciting discussion, in which
Ministers of the Gospel will join ; and become as in
temperate as the laity. It would be better in many
respects, if these meetings were private.
A double expedition is talked of, to annihilate the
black Eippcror of Ilayti, mid capture Cuba ; and I
believe the rumor is not altogether groundless.
They are talking of annexing Brooklyn und Wil-
linmsburgh to New York, nud placing them all under
the same Government. There is also a talk of con
veying the Croton Water to Brooklyn,through Gutta
Perclia tubes submerged in the East river. It can
be done doubtless, but tho expense would be some
$108,000. It would tuke about 68,000 pounds of
Gutta Pucha, and 24,000 lbs. of iron for the job.
The editor of the Police Gazette, is getting his
hands full of busines, which is not by any means
profitable—one suit of libel against him is on trial,
and in whicli he will probably be cast in heavy dam
ages; and not only he but the owner ot th'e press on
which tlie sheet is printed, and the agents who sell it.
This seems to he the law, so that if the editor he ir
responsible, the libelled party can seek recompense
from-every body connected with tho paper, who
may be able to respond in damages.
There is still hope of the recovery of tho Calhoun
Statue, I hear, when the cotter diun is completed.
The box is entirely embedded in sand, which is con
stantly shifting by the action of the surf.
Cotton speculators begin to look blank, at every
arrival from England—the price is still depressing,
and it i9 expected that it will be permanently so.
Fortunes have been made during the past few months,
mid fortunes will be lost by cotton, during those to
come. The stock market has been exceedingly brisk,
all kinds of stocks tend upwardly, outsiders and im
bued with the spirit of gambling, and by and bye
there will be a downfall. CHARLEMAC.
New and Important Discovery in the Manufacture
of Iron. The Pittsburg Post has a letter giving an
account of a discoveiy made by a young man by the
name of Adams, the Assistant Manager of tne Brady's
Bend Iron Works, in Clarion county, in the manufac
ture of railroad and merchant bars Iroin Coke metal.
By the old method, the rails were ninije with charcoal
pig; and would crack very much and would break
with one or two blows. By Adams’ process iron can
he made from eight to ten dollars per ton lower, mid
of « superior quality. The process is not mentioned,
but the quality of the iron produced is spoken of.
The writer of the letter was shown a rail flint had
been put to the severest test, by putting it, While hot,
into cold wuter ; ufler which they tried to break it
with u sledge hammer weighing 80 pounds. Forty
blows wore given by fix men alternately, and they
could not ev.n crack it. Tlie charcoal iron of the
company costs from 18 to 22 dollars per ton; their
“ Coke metal" costs only from 9 to 11 dollars per
ton. The discovery has caused quite an excitement
among the workmen, for they were under the im
pression that the works would have to suspend on
uccount of the low price of iron.

accounts of the Pacific wore published, noticing a de
cline of }d in the Liverpool market, and the sales of
that day were 120 bales. On Wednesday the sales

columns will furnish the names of the houses engag
ed in this trade.

Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
Havana, Sept. 17, 1850.
SUGARS lmv4, since our report of August 31st,
experienced^teady demand ; the stock hns been
reduced very jnnierinlly ; and the quantity still left,
both here and in the country is quite unimportant.—
Under such circumstances the prices have risen still
more, and our present quotations are : Whites, 9 u
10 rials ; fine and choice Whites, 10} a 11 rials ; Yel-
ows, 6} u 7$ rials ; superior Yellows, 8 rials; Browns,
and Cucuruchoa, 5} a 6} rials.
There is no Muscovados remaining.
Sales of JVjfOMfe^SES have been made at 1} to 2} ri-
als, according tw quality and the place of delivery ;
the former rate being for very ordinary. The last
price paid was 2} rials for good quality and some deal
ers ask more. There is but little left.
The business in COFFEE is too trifling to merit
notice.
RICE.—Nenrly 1400 casks Carolina Rice have ar
rived, of which^one cargo sold ut 13 rials ; one at 12$
rials, for good quality and ll$rinla for inferior bro
ken ; one cargo realised 12$ rials, nnd there are 400
casks left for disposal. About 250 bags Valencia
Rice were also pluced at 8 and 8$ rials, being chiefly
of inferior quality.
LUMBER.—About 450,000 feet W. P. Lumber have
been disposed of, at $22 for Bath and Machine, and
$21 for Eastern. Two more vessels are in, bringing
a further quantity. A cargo of good qualify Mobile
steam-sawed has realised $26.
SHOOKS, CASKS AND HOOPS.—There is very
little enquiry us yet for Box Shooks on contract; tho
last transactions were at 7 rials. The quotations we
give below are based on the last sales of Shooks on
the spot. The dernnud for Ilhd. Shooks is ns yet
quite limited ; a small parcel of very superior Mo
lasses was placed ut 18 rials. There are no Empty
Casks in first hunds, butd- nlers have a large quanti
ty in their stors. It may take some time therefore
for the price to improve materially. The momenta
ry wants of dealers in reguvd to Hoops have been
supplied by some arrivals from Rhode island, which
sold at $45 tor long and short, the quality not being
very good.
The accounts from the country respecting the Chole
ra.are. somewhat more satis factory ; but the disease
still lingers in several districts in the interior. Scarce
ly any cases huve occurred lately iu the city.
1 HEIGHT^. The last charters to Europe were at
£2.2i6 for email vessel to Cowes and a market, and at
16[ t . Liverpool. For box tfugar to the United Slates
$l}and $1} lias been paid. Molasses vessels are
bcarce; $2$ were given lor a vessel louding here, nnd
$3 and upw ards would be paid for vessels to load at
the out-ports.
