New Oki.ea.ns Oteka Troupe.—This popu lar troupe, who liavo given such high satisfac tion by their performances at St. Andrew 's Hall during (he past week, have, as will he seen bv thoircurd, taken tho Athcneeum for the present week. Their entertainments will bo given ut this establishment in future. Their programme for to-night is uti excellent one; besides, tin im mense amount of amusement may he anticipated from tho numerous criticisms elicited by the prize cup offered for tho best original conun drum. The mun who is certain of winning the eup, is quitto an attraction himself, and will of course he present on the occasion. The Eilinhiii-gli Review. From Col. W. Thorne Williams, agent of tho American publishers, Messrs. Leonabd Scott & Co., wo have received this standard quarterly lor October. Tho following is the tublo of contents: I, Comparative Philology; II, Dennestoun.s Dukes of Urbina; HI, Sources of Expression in Architecture; IV, Juvenile Delinquency ; V, Miraheaus Correspondence; VI, The Metamorphoses of Apuleius; VII Neapolitan Justice; VIII, The Anglo Catholic Theory; IX, Official Cstaloguo of tho Great Exhibition; Note to Art. VI of tho lust number. Tho Intcrnntloiinl Magazine. Wo have also received from Col. Williams tlie December number of this popular eclectic. As usual, its contents ore varied and interesting, selected Irom the best foreign and American sources, and contributed toby some of tho ablest pons in the country. Each number of tho International is handsomely illustrated, and coutuins about 130 closely printed jmges of reading matter. New Yotk: Stringer it. Townsend, Publishers. Harpers’ New Monthly Magazine, brom John M, Cooper it Co. we have re ceived Harper for December. It is, il possible, even more brilliant than its predecessors, being copiously illustrated with fine engravings, not tiiero fancy pictures, such as too oftoti fill our popular magazines, but elaborate and well exe cuted designs, illustrative of tho deeply interest ing and instructive text. This number opens with 11 The British Teu Party,” by Benson J. Lossing, tho accomplished artist and author, handsomely illustrated. This subject is follow ed by an interesting original skotch of the Amer ican Arctic Exploring Expedition, illustrated with fifteen beautiful engravings. This is fill ed by a continuation of Abbot’s Sketch of the Life of Napoleon Bonapurte, also copiously illus trated. Tho number, ns usual, closes with the fashions for tho season, and a page or two of irresistible pictorial comiclities a la Punch, which are alone worth the price of tho pamph let,'of 144 closely printed pages. The Columbia South Carolinian and Telegraph cautions tho public against a conn- tcrfeil which has made its appearanco. It is a well executed $100 bill on the Merchants’ Bunk of Clieruw, and resembles the bills of tliut bunk. It issues, however, no bills over the denomination of $20’.. The Opera. Mabf.tzek's Opera Troupe, which we will •li&ve with us in u few days, lmvo had a most brilliant season in Charleston. The press there contains daily encomiums upon tho superior abilities of the performers, and of tho successful presentation of tho grand Operas successively brought out. The Courier of Friday morning says:— The Theatre.—Last evening Rosini’s grace ful Opera bufla, 11 Barbicrc di Siviglia, wus pro duced with a powerful cast. Maduino Vietti revelled in the richness of her voice as Rosiua, and Snnquirico iu the prodigality of his humor as Doctor Bnrtolo. In fact, the Rosiua of Mudnnio Yielti was a great display of vocal art, and elicited considerable applause, ut which however we do not wopder, since all oho undertakes she duos to perfection. Tho Bartolo of Sanquirico, too, is « true to the text, uevor sinking into vulgar Inif- .rn.'S or exaggeration, and the applause be- * .‘i" l . mn I’raved that ho was fully apprecl- “' r f' “nd acted the part of Basilio to the evening, was Boncvcntoim. Tlie true dcli- muru-n of »T.o intriguing iSpuuishbarher was nev er lost sight of, addetf to which the grace and power lie infuses into tho music lm executes made his impersonation of this character ono of the most perfect specimens of histrionic uud vo cal skill we have for some rime wilnesscd. Tlie Bertha of Miss Julia Gould was also a neat per formance, and the chorus and orchestra were, us usual, admirable, under tho direction of Signor Arditi, who has his force under excellent com mand. In fact all went off well, and wo are glad to hear that to-morrow evening the Opera will be repeated. Shocking Occurrence.—On Sunday last, we are informed, Zedekiuh Skcts, of Newton District, Jackson county, shot his son, of the saute name, wilh u rifle. The wound proved mortal and the father has been arrested. He was to bare been taken before tlie magistrates at Newton on yesterday, for the purpose of cominit- ItieuL—Athene Banner of Thurtday. American Papers published in Cuba—Mr. Thrasher’* Sentence nproved by Concbn. Alclter in the N. O. Picayune, dated Havana, Dec. 20, says: The Picayune, Delta and N. Y. Hcrahl are to be interdicted papers, it is reported, for reason that they uro considered dangerous to [lip peace and tranquillity of the “ever faithful. Hus mandate will not probably diminish the circula tion of either, uud serves to point the weukuoss of tho power that inhibits the circulation of thoso dispensers of general intelligence m n community whoso commerce und industry are almost identical with tliut from whence they ^'llyalmost every opportunity a few Creoles are being sent to Spain, or Africu, to bo schooled in loyuTsentimcnts, and Inst week some thirteen or fom teen were sent forward for instruction. The enso of Mr. Thrasher remains herdu and there has been no consular protest nguinsi the proceedings, although Mr. Owen is well charged to avail of the proper moment for action. Ho has been provided with nil the law data hearing upon tho case, and it is said will present them iu due form as soon as the sentence has been anil til ed by the supreme authority. Another letter from the same correspondent dated on tho 22d, suys Contrary to ull expectations, Air. Thrasher is sentenced to eight years presidio at Ceuta in Af rica. approved yesterday by the Captain General. The Auditor of War approved ol the sentence hceuuse “ ho did not find with the papers any attempt on tho part of the pnsonor to disprove ^Nh . 1 Thrasher was denied all right of defence, or time and opportunity to provide testimony.— The Consul should have met the proceedings,at the trial, with protest; and il they hud not stop ped or respected the rec|uiremcnts and guaran tees of the treat v, demanded his passports and left the island on the Cyunc when she was here. The Consul has hud several conversations with Gen. Concha upon this mutter, hut has elVected nothing. The Picayune has a very strong and indignant urtiele on these proceedings of the petty despot ism by which the Island ol Cubu is ut present oppressed und our own people and government outraged und insulted. Alter expressing the hope tliut Mr. Thrasher’s case has been included in tho late diplomatic arrangement at Washing ton, the editor says : If neither the provisions of the existing trea ties, nor tho specific engagements of the new settlement, suflieo, of themselves, to, arrest this iniquitous sentence, and restore Mr. Thrasher to liberty, we believe that the public sentiment of this country will cull for a special application on his bohalt by our Government to that of Spain. There are sufficient public grounds to justify such an iuterposliou us a mutter ol right, in re gard to Mr. Thrasher personally; iu whose person tho privileges of an American citizen have been violuted under circumstances of grout hardship and cruel oppression uud flagrant wruu <r. These considerations, of themselves, woultf justify the strenuous interposition of tho Government for the sake ol the injured indivi dual. That uulv is good government where the rights of the smallest of its citizens are under the safeguard of the power of the whole. But the violation of treaty stipulations, the insecurity thereby thrown mto the relations between the two countries, tho unavoidable interruptions to commerce, and all the consequences of embar rassment, contention, oppression und loss to which every American in Spanish countries will he exposed, if this treatment to Mr. Thrasher he allowed to he justified and drawn into a precedent, make u case of national importance which cuunot he neglected with credit, or with out injury to important national interests. liiven if Mr. Thrasher’s case has been includ ed in the arrangement between Mr. Webster and Mr. L>c La Barca, we apprehend that neither tho friends of Mr. T. nor the American people at largo will he satisfied with such diplomatic mummery. The sovereign people of this repub lic will not consent to be made tho toys tho mere counters in the game in which diplomatists pluy for grand effects. Tho wrongs und injuries which Mr. Thrasher bus sustained cannot bo atoned for by a flourish of the Captain General’s mugnuuimity pardoning him in consideration of a iiutioual salute to the Flag of the Spanish con- ululc. Tho outrageous insolent proceedings uguinst him may serve a good purpose iu appeas ing Spanish vanity und in discouraging the hopes of tho disaffected Creoles in Culm; but the insult und injury will not be so easily remov ed from the minds of the American people, as the plotters of the shameful ruse suppose. They will be remembered as additional causes for hatred and vengeance aguinst the savage mur derers and mutilators of Crittenden and his brave companions If Mr. Thrasher, guiltless is lie is, and con victcd contrary to ull usages of law, is sent to Correspondence of Dally Morning Ne*r*» Macon, Nov. 29,1851* Wm. T. Thompson, Esq.: Dear Sir .-—Since my last, every vestige ol tliut fearful scarecrow the small-pox has de parted Irdtu our midst, and left ub in circum stances of health perfectly distressing to the faculty, of which, by the way, wo havo a con siderable sprinkling. In such a place as tins ft has always remained a mystery to me how so many could get u living, lor our Macon, 1 can assure you, is not only one ol the healthiest cities of its size in the United States, hut it is ono of the most expensive in which to support a family. Of course, then, such a flurry us we have’lately had was of considerable importance in u medical point of view. To say nothing of the immediate fee “ fork’d over” by the city (not altogether an immaterial matter in amount) the number that was sent, by the panic, to the physician, jib to a fortress ol defence, wus not small. Vaccine matter was in demand, for the time, and the practice became so profitable, that “it were u sin” not to have fostered it a little. But to change the subject somewhat ; it tip- appears to me that our lawgivers at Millcdgo- vilio sadly mistake the interests of those they pretend to servo, by their officious interference with the administration of justice. 1 ulludc to the hatch of pardons they have granted since the commencement of this Session. To pass over the inconsistency of enacting laws, and then for bidding their execution, or of permitting a law to remain on the statute-book merely as a nui sance, is it not promoting crime 7 is it not say ing to the reckless rufliau, “Strike deep, mur der, do not scotch, but kill, and you are safe? I folio stculs a horse, ho is sent to the peniten tiary for years; il one minders a mun, lie is tried for his life, (no very startling afluir in these times,) perhaps found guilty, sentenced to the gallows ; his case is carried up ; ho gets a new trial,-—is adjudged guilty again ; is reprieved, then pardoned. Why, the routine is so well understood, tliut the criminal laughs at tho court. Formerly it wns a solemn scene to see a fellow being condemned to an ignominious death; then it was felt that his days were numbered, hut now the tragedy has become a farce, and 1 often wonder how the court cun keep its coun tenance during the performance. The mockery is so murked tliut the prisoner remains unmoved. Where is nil this to end? The end bus been presenting itself with startling distinctness in various parts of our country, and none hut the unthinking, none hut the wilfully blind can plead ignorance of its approach. Lynch law! Lynch lu.v !! will he the end! The relative, the friend of the murdered mun, will stand up to judge of the crime, and to mete out the punishment.— Communities outraged beyond endurance will rise in the blind fury of passion, or in the calm deliuuce of constituted authorities, and with hot huste, or cool carelessness, dispense the last penalty, nml commit the last crime known to all law, without tho least remorse or the slightest fear. Are oar rulers so reckless, arc they sc criminal as to foster this spirit? They cannot alter what lias passed in our own State, he igno rant of its existence. Let them look around and Judge Lynch taking his seat in open day, upheld by n power loo formidable to he approach ed, too irresistible to ho opposed; his decrees listened to with awe, his orders executed with prompt certainty of fate ; do they wish him to ddisli another circuit in Georgia? His de crees are not carried up, his opinions never re versed. A great deal is said about mercy— mercy to whom ? Hus society lost all claim to consideration in this matter? It may ho mercy to set the murderer free—mercy to him, hut an outrage to every one else, and itwould ho “oven- handed justice” were his next victim one of themselves. Mercy seems to he as little under stood ns her sterner sister Justice, who is sot aside altogether. Immutability is a strong fea ture in the most perfect government of which we have any knowledge : “ The soul that sinneth, it shall die;” und crime audits consequences arc inseparably connected. Mercy may plead and tiino may be allowed for repentance, but this, however sincere, however deep, docs not stay the sword of Justice. The nearer the laws of man ussimilute the luws of God, the nei rer they approach perfection, and mercy then v ill be nieeted out to all. It is to be.hoped our legis lators will in future fetter their blind benevo lence, und abstain from folly. They niay rest assured that the seed nlrcudy sown will spring up a fearful crop of cruelty und crime, to be ac counted for at that bur where tho lawmaker and tho lawbreuker must ulike uppoar. T. F. Accumulation of Gold. Tho total amount of coinage of gold at lhe U. S. Mint reached for the month of November tho large sum of $5,481,609. Of this amount over four and a half millions were in double eagles, the supply of small gold coin ulso being large.— The totul amount of gold deposited ut the II. S. Mint at Philadelphia during the month of Novem ber was $5,400,000. The amount received at the New Orleans Mint may he stated at $1,500,000- making a total of $6,900,000 for the month.

Tliy princely form, thy eagle eye— Thy shining hair of lustrous dye— Thy manly voice, and noble mien, Have waked nn interest deep and keen Within a heart, whoso stilly depths In solemn silence long hutli slept; No breeze has stirred, no single stroke Its solemn stillness o’er hath broke ; No light of love, nor star of pride, Hath over lit its gloomy tide. Hut though that tide in darkness roll, And shudows forth no sign of soul,— Yet far bcncuth,in many a bower, Hangs many a hud and many a flower, That only blooms when Feeling’s spring Its light and shadows round them fling; They are blooming now, in silent glee, And breathe their fragrance all to thee. Tho soul that slept now breuks its trance, And wakes to life beneath thy glance. “Inez.” RECEIPTS OF COTTON, fee., DEC. 6.

The New-York Tribune lias just had a fierco bout with Bishop Hughes, on the subject of tho Bishop’s denunciation of Kossuth. in a recent speech. The Herald is now out on tlie Arch bishop. It holds that ho is not tho true repre sentative of the Cutliolic Church in the United States. Ho declares himself, says the Herald> the advocate of the darkest despotism of the dark est spots on the earth—the friend of Austria and the bitter enemy of Hungary and Kossuth, whom even tho Turk respected. He once wrote a pamphlet to show that Republicanism is not inconsistent with Catholicity ; and now, says the Herald, he is doing Ilia utmost to prove tlie contrary. The article goes on to compliment tho Catholic portion of the community. They have boon among the best, most industrious and most patriotic citizens of the United States; and while other sects have obtained a bud notoriety for the prominent part they have taken in the anti-slavery agitation, the Catholics have con tinued steudfast to the compromises of tho Con stitution, und have most religiously observed the obligations of that solemn covenant. They uro good und true Republicans, and cordially harmonise with tlieir Protestant fellow-country men. Greut Telegraphic Pent. Mr. Bulkley, the Superintendent of the Ncw- Orlcans telegraph line, has lately invented whut ho calls a “ Connecter, ” by means of which, placed ut each station uu tho line, the operators uro enabled to “turn thecurrent ofelectrieity front their offices, uud thus connect tlie most extreme points.” The “ Connectors, ” by some ingen ious mechanism, only fully understood by the in telligent and practical inventor, have the effect to renew tho magnetic force, whenever applied, by which moaus the greut difficulty of “ writing in long circuits” is wholly overcome. This inven tion, therefore, would seem destined to become one of the most important aids ill tho “ annihila tion, of space.” We understand that the Now-Orleaus line, un der Mr. Bulkley’s superintendence, has been sup plied with these “ Connecters, ” nml their practi cal utility for tho purposes desired were very satisfactorily tested yesterday, by enabling Mr. Long, and Iris accomplished assistants iu this city to hold a direct and instantaneous chit-clmt with their fellow operators in the offico ut New Orleans—a distance, by the wires, of 2,300 miles. Business messages were also sem with the some rapidity.—JV. x.. Express. We would bo very glad to sec these Connect ors employed on the line between this port and New-York. Such facilities we doubt not, would greatly increase the through business of tho line. 13P The census of 1850 shows tho following P 1 r °W ,0 ". of deaths to the whole population ill the lollowing States (-Vermont 1 iu 100, Iowa 1 ( • np •>. . , ’ * *11 * » | lltiVV JOI- Bey 1 in 75, Virginia 1 in 74, Illinois and Dela ware 1 in 73.

At the same time there will he little or uo exports of specie, as the cotton hills coming forward will have turned the tide completely in our fuvor. The close of 1851 will, doubtless, witness a very large uccummu- lation of specie in this country. New and Magnificent Projects in Con gress.—A Railroad from Missouri to San Fran cisco, a telegraph line for the same distance—a line of Steamships from Sun Francisco to China —a mint in California. These are the measures proposed in Congress on the very first day of its session. This is a good beginning. The annex ation of the Sandwich Islands—a navul interven tion to prevent Russia from overcoming liberty in Europe—British outrages in Central Americu —the illegal condemnation and imprisonment of Mr. Thrasher, in Iiuvanu, will soon ho taken up by Congress, and give plenty of work to that interesting collection of patriots to perform.

PORT OF SAVANNAH, DEC. 8 Lnler from the Itio rlimit:. Hy llio turiviri of the schooner Uncle Bill, Copt. Wood, nt Galveston, tho News learns that Gen. Urngn hud arrived at Mntnnioros pvith 800 men, one mortar, and several pieces of artillery, to reinforce Gon. Avnlos. Gen. Carvajal was in the neighborhood of Camargo, und duily receiv ing reiiifurceinonts. Ho wus occupying all the roads leading to Mutmmmis. Brigadier Gen. l-'ord hud gono into Texas to raise men, and wus expcetcdhuck in four weeks. He. went, the News thinks, probably to Stilt Antonio. No general uetion would be sought until he returned. It wus rumored that Avalos would pursue and uttuck Carvajal. Tliu .Moxmau troops in fllatuiuoros numbered about two thousand. Carvajal laid not, nt last advices, more than live or six hundred men under his command. The universal opinion, on tho Texas side of the Bio Grande, (tire News adds,) was that Cnrvajal would ultimately triumph, und sympathy iu his behalf is tho predominant feeling. Business nt Brownsville wus dull. The Sun Antonio Ledger, relerring to the siege of JMatumoros, says: “ The Mexican Natioual Guards, and the citizens ol Mutumoros nilbrded more effectual re sistance, and fought with more success than the rogulur soldiers. It was from that quarter the revolutioirists received the severest blows.” Contradictory Account* from Utah. Washington, Wednesday, Lice. 3 1851. John M.
