FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 30.
The ship Hutilonia, Captain Watson, cleared uuucr
uur marine head this day, by 8. II. Fay & Co. is the
first vessel loaded with cotton the present senson for Eu-
rope. She has been but fourteen days in port, ntid her
cargo (801 bales) is composed entirely of the new crop.
The second floor of the store on the Bay, occupied by
Huntington & May, the property of C. Hoyt, contain
ing a large quantity of potatoes, Ml in yesterday after
noon with a loud crash. Fortunately no person was in
the building at the time tho accident occurred, or its
consequences might have been serious.
From London.—The bark Grecian, Blanchard, ar
rived at Charleston'on Tuesday, from London, from
which she sailed on the 26th September—but brings no
papers orlcturs. The only verbal intelligence, as we
lqarn from our correspondent of the Courier, and from
the Patriot, is, that the state of affairs between Russia
and Turkey remained much the same ns per our last
uccounts. The lastLondon paper Capt. II. saw was of
the 25th Sept, -and to that period uo account had been
received oftho cessation of hostilities or of the full of
Constantinople. The preparations for continuing the
war were 03 active as ever ; tho Russian General was
about to advance on that Capitol, and intelligence of its
fall was daily expected in London. Three line of battle
ships were fitting lor sea at Greenwich. Capt. 11.
states, that the Cotton market at Liverpool lmd under
gone a further decline, but docs not recollect tho going
rates.
VTc mentioned that tho V. S. Frigutu Brandywine,
uX Xow York, had been ordered for sea, with all possible
despatch. The destination of the U. S. sloop of war
Erie, at Norfolk, originally intended for tho West India
station, we learn from the Herald, has been changed.
Rumor has assigned to one or other, or perhaps both,
of these vessels, a voyage to Lisbon, with a message to
Den Qliguel to make ample compensation and atonement
^;r the recent capture of the American ship utTerciira.
William Miluor, Ksq. has been elected Mayor of the
city of Philadelphia.
Among the curious exhibitions at the present time in
New York are a lioa Constrictor and an Anaconda,
monsters of tho Snake species. The former is described
ns being 5 years old, and measuring 17 feet in length—
This enormous reptile is said to continue its growth until
it arrives at its sixtieth year ! The Boa was advertised
to be fed on a living sheep a short time since; hut we
ore gratified to add, obstinately refused at least for the
time, to put the trembling animal to a cruel death lor the
amusement ofthc enlightened spectators who were at
tracted on the occasion.
Tea—We j crccivo by the English papers that Mr.
Buckingham is successfully lecturing in Scotland on the
subject of tho monopoly of tlm Hast India Company—
e has already visited tho principaKow ns in England,
and has succeeded in exciting a largo share ofpublic at
tention upon this important subject. At tho next t en
sion of tho English parliament, Uio renewal of the East
India Company's charter will be brought up for decision.
By way ofpreparationfor this question, tho government
some time ago issued order* for tho collection of facts
connected with the tea trade. The N. Y. Courier states
that a vast number of documents have been presented on
the subject showing the English as well as the American
trade to China—the amount of tonnage, &c. It appears
Chat in tho year 1828 tho East India Company sold a-
bout 29 millions of pounds of ten, valued at nearly 15
millions of dollars. This may bi> considered a tolerably
fair estimate of their yearly import. Tho t\ Stiles arc
treading very rapidly on the heels of England in the tea
trade. By tho Treasury statement of last year, we
liarn that 8,243,437 pounds of tea were imjiorted into
this country. Tho greater portion of our tea importa
tion consists cf Hyson, that of England of an inferior
quality.
The extension of the elective franchise will no doubt
be strongly contested in tho Virginiu Convention. But
although on the part of those already wedded to ancient
nystems, or who may he interested in maintaining the
power at present in the hands of the aristocracy, the
struggle will be a hard cue, we cannot doubt but tlmy
will submit with the best grace possible. Indeed, Vir
ginia has aflorded the singular spectacle ofthe most con
sistently democratic .SYa/ein its public course,with a con
stitution more decidedly aristocratic in its fcalnrta,
of any of her sister States. But it was not to bu expect
ed, in the general dissemination of tho principles of de
mocracy, which has taken place, that her disfranchised
population should rest satisfied—nor do we perceive any
good reason why they should. It would bu a work of
supererogation, ut tho present day, und in this part of
the world, to dilate upon the expediency of universal mif-
frugt—its existence us a right, may be considered under
our form of government, as one of those self-evident
facts, to nrguo in support of which, can only tonJ to
weaken the universal faith in it, by the impression thot
aught existed to he brought against it. In Virginia,how
ever, it i* different—and some of the best talent in the
State is enlisted in tho cause of tho people. Among
these is John Robertson, Attorney General, to xvhom is
attributed a recent memorial on bchalfof the nmi-free-
holders of the State, dUtiuguUhcd for its ability. Tho
Enquirer contains Iho following extract from a Speech
of that gentlemen, delivered to tho citizens of Richmond
on the subject of tho Convention, affording a fine rpo-
r.imen ofthc argumtnhtm tutlw miners, and containing m
tho way of illustration, a sufficient proof, if no other ex-
bled, of tho injustice of depriving tho great body of the
citizens of Virginia of the rights |M«sesscd by almost ev
ery American citizen. “ When they who posses the
power of tho State,” said Mr. R. 44 the freeholders, wish
for soldiers or for taxes, they call upon the disfranchis
ed non-freeholders, to fight tho battles, or contribute to
the revenue of the commonwealth. Hut, when power
was to ho exercised, and votes were to ho given, you
would hoar the Sheriffs proclaiming nt tho doors of tho
Court Houses, 41 Gentlemen Freeholders, como in aud
givo your votes.” Hilt, whoever hoard of a aimilur re
striction Isiirig iin|»oscd, w hen tho day of danger arrived,
and the battle was to he fotigld? Who ever heard tho of.

OiuNftES.— 1 The objection Fomotimfifi Iha4o to this a-
grceablo fruit, produced in Georgia and our neighboring
Territory, that it dots not keep, is said to bo owing to
the manner in which it is gathered. The most apprnv*
ed mode of obtaining (he fruit it is said in tho Florida
Herald, is to gather them on a dry day, by moons of a
ladder, passing them by hand and carctWIy placing them
on the ground. They should then be removed to an airy
room with a boarded floor, and spread singly for a few
days ; and then, slightly papered, packed in common
flour barrels, without being bored full of holes, os is
much, but unnecessarily, practised now. Tho spread
ing them on a hoarded floor to dry a little, and papering
them, is sufficient preparation for an European voyage.
For shipments to thu north, the barrels limy bo tuken un
der the trees and filled, headed, and shipped at once.
Tenderly handling them appears to he the great art o*
packing them.
Tho Ilumano Society of Massachusetts, has presen.
ted a silver medal to Win, B. Allen, of Boston, in tes
timony of their approbation of Iris exertions whereby the
Wo ofWm. II. Bridge was preserved when in imminent
danger of drowning in Boston harbor, on tho 18th of Ju
ly, 1829. Master Bridge, a lad about 7 years of ngc,
had fallen into very deep wafer. Young Allen, who is
about twelve, seeing tho accident, immediately sprang
from tho wharf, and saved thu little Miflercr from per
ishing—and afterwards returned to the water, and took
up tho lad’s school bouks.
According to tho returns published in the last Phila
delphia papers, the mujority of.Mr. Wolfo for Governor,
was 21,529.

A correspondent ofthe London Times (3d ult.) com
plains of thut journal for not being “ sufficiently in front
of the opposition to ministers.” The Editor, a staunch
Whig, tutsws'.s," We have seen it right and just, pretty
often, to support the measures ofthe Duke of Welling
ton. The country tallies round thu Duke and clings to
him. Wo, on the whole, are rativfied to havo him for
Minister, and we despair of finding a man more eligible
in the present condition of the realm.”
Litfuauv Notices—It is stated in Ihn British pa
pers, that Sir Walter Scott is now, und has been for
some months, preparing a History of Scotland from the
earliest period of authentic record fo tho union of the
crowns. This woik is already in the press, aud will he
published on the 1st of November, being the first volume
of Dr. Gardner’s Cabinet Cyclopedia. In conjunction
with Sir Walter Scott, are engaged Sir James Mackin

The work wiilhu in octavo form, at 5 dollars per annum,

to consideration.
The SoCfh Ska Cxpmmtion.—Tito brig
Aimwan,the flag vessel of thin expedition,
dropped down to tho lower one! of tho bay
yesterday, and will proceed to sea this morn
ing. Thus, after t lire© years, of perseverance
and industry, Mr. Reynold finds himself upon
tho, ocean, in search of the undiscovered
islands of tho South. In addition to tho com
mercial importance of this expedition, it is
highly interesting in a nationnl point of view.
Whatever lands indy be discovered by Mr.
Reynolds and his enterprising associated,
will become the property of tliu U. States.—
Tho Btores of science will ho increased by
the products of fur distant islands, us yet un
known to the civilized man, and curiosity
may, perchance, be gratified with something
now.
We visitod tho Anawnn on Thursday. She

France 1ms intulo no serious-impression on
Algiers. M. Doval, the French Consul,
whose cars the Rey boxed, which was the
cause of Hie war, has just died of apoplexy—
which leaves no excuse on the part or* the
Dey in not coming to terms. Cun. Eaton
was once stopped by two Mamelukes, who
attempted to rob him, and he beat them
severely. On being ordered before tho Dey
to explain the outrage, he quaintly assured
his highness that in his country where one
man heat two he was always in the right.—
The utmost prudence is necessary on the part
of public functionaries in the Bnrbary States,
as war may grow out of tho most slight of
fence, aud a war with them is always to be
avoided. Victory is ulvvays doubtful, and is
ahvays’costly.—Ib.
Important Discovery.—Tho English
missionary, Hartley* ns appears from a letter
dated at Smyrna, In May hist, has seen tin
intelligent traveller from Palestine and Egypt,
who asserts that lie discovered, while travel
ling from the Rctl Sea to Mount Sinai, on tho
supposed ancient route of the children of
Israel, a great number of inscription* upon
the rocks, in characters more ancient than the
Samarian. He thinks they may have been
written by the ancient Israelites ; and that if
deciphered, they might bo found to throw ad
ditional light upon flic history of that nation.
Among the curious anti interesting objects
discovered in the excavations nt Pompeii,
there have recently been found five glass ves
sels, in some of which were olives in a statu
of preservation ns perfect as those ofthe last
year’s growth. Tlieso olives are sound, soil
and dummy, and in form reseinhlo those of
Spain ; they Imvo a somewhat strong rancid
odour,atid an acid taste, which leaves a pun
gent and astringent, ttunsation on the tongue.
It seems incredible that. this fruit was pluck*
ed from the tree eighteen centuries ago ; but
it. is, nevertheless a fact. Part of these olives
have been analyzed, and tho rest have boon
deposited in the; Museum, in the vessels in
which they were discovered.

As to the Englishmen: 44 you know”, a,
mother who was twice beaten by her young- \
eat son, would hate that son, and our chil
dren’s children would hate him too : such are
the feelings of Englishmen towards us, and it |
gives us no more concern than a drifting fea

[and ho tapped it gently on tho hilt] and I

44 In those duys” it was mighty hard to raise

my mind about my country. Tim next morn

rank and file, as wo used to sav then, but now
I don’t know if they hav’ent found some now
name-for it, too : and every-man was furnish
ed with a tarnation sight of powder, balls and
patches, and the Jin-cr-al rode in front ofthe
line, and took off his regimental cock’d hat,
und ho flung it on tho ground, und looking
round a. time or two, said : 44 The time is now
near at. hand, which must probably determine
whether Americans must be freemen or slaves
—whether tlieir houses and farms arc to be
pillaged and destroyed, and themselves con
signed to a state oi*wretchedness from which
no human effort will deliver them. The fate
of unborn millions will now depend, under
God, on the courage and conduct of this ar
my. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves
us only choice of a brave resistance or the
most abject submission. Our own, our coun
try V* honor, calls* upon us lor o vigorous’and

fail, wo will become infumous to the whole
world. Let us, then, rely on the goodness of
our cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being
in whose hands victory is, to animate and en
courage us to groat and noble actions.”
This is all I recollect, at this time*of his

What a capital lliiiijpvculii it he inthrwn roinplainins
hard titnrw, to he lil«*sed with a wife, gifted like the lady
mentioned in the fiiUmvina hues. What a timely relief
would Hindi a one prove to u poor, distressed, undone de

With many a writ nmtnyrd, and many a-dutt,
For paper credit, und fur cash hard run.
But let us listen to the poet, and hear what he says in
praise of his mistress.
THE POWER OF MUSIC.
Tiiuch, touch, once more thoso Imys of hone,*
And let me hear those notes njinin ;
Though noht o/haml, unlike my own,
They give more pleasure fir than pain.
Now with those strings, I pray, nty dear,
Unite that silver voini of thine }
For silver sounds still please my ear,
Though I can cull no tilvir mine.
Music, the poet tolls us, can
Make soft the flinty rocks with case,
I wish my creditors, dear Ann,
Weio present when you touch (lie koys.
Thy notes should liquidate enrh bill,
Hiieh power would havo thy inrhinx strain,
And give mlgsrUe courage still
To try his butter luck ngaia.
Fust by your chordt of music bound.
Loosened should bu my hands of debt;
And listening to your dinner of round,
RUN'S should tlieir tuumling chungeforget.

Think not, my friends, I’m home away on
tho visionary wings of fancy ; Oh no ! an old
man has hut few fancies, and these are for his
pipe and quid; his great coat and stick. If
you could ride upon tho wings of tho eagle,
and fly across to the west,three thousand miles
would scarcely bring you to the shores of the
Pacific. If you could sit on tho snowbanks
of Maine, and be driven along to Florida, six
teen hundred miles would perhaps be passed
before it molted away. Think, then, of your
country ; think of it’s mighty grandeur, ot’ its
twelve millions of freemen ready to spring up
on every side in its defence, and why need
wo care* what foreigners, prejudiced, ignorant
or wise, say about us 1 What would you think
of a mnn who would prosecute his wife und
strive to ruin her diameter; yet such is the
man that Englishmen have for their king.—
What think you of a man who would cut oil’
the head ofthe wife of his bosom? yet such is
the man that Englishmen once had, not only
for their king but the head of their church.—
l see those fine moral feelings which adorn
your virtuous characters, dltfiised a glow of
indigent ion over your countonnnee?, nt the
mere relation of such enormities ; yet. such-
are the solemn tacts history records of Henry,
the Eighth’nnd George the Fourth ; and such
is the depraved government, these men are
proud of; who coiue among ns ignorant, de
bauched and vicious and beeuz they find our
Republican institutions and manners of too
slum virtue to tolerate them, they pretend to
change an opinion they never entertained,
and calumniate us for producing the change.
I’m un old man, and “spunk to you the
words of sobernessns it is tho last time I
may have to address you hero, bear wit h my
feeble and rustic manner, and allow mo to

classic education, have bail to depend on my
own exert ions for subsistence &• information;
but have been well instructed in the school of
adversity. In my short span oflife f have seen
many changes, i have heard old things that

know. Take care, then, that you do not let
Congress gradually assume the powers of

every tie you hold denrtn yourselves ami your
country, to look more ut the qualifications than

Yonder ui'e the bloody rcbbles, ” exclaimed
the fierce Britons as they saw us nil kneeling.
“I wonder” said a fat British otlicer, “if the
poor devils will dnrn fire on the King’s Troops,*
quick step march my bravo lads, tho cowardly
lings have all kneeled down in submission to
llis Majesty's all conquering arms.”—“We’ll
give you submission with a witness to you
presently,” observed our Jin-cr-al, and the
next momentkall’d out, “port anus—ready—
two—1liree—mini—tire.” My stars! I never
hoard such a ronr, or seed such a sight! ! not
a rifle missed fire; not a hall seined to miss its
man ! olficors, men, horses, muskets, bnggo-
nits, pistols and swords, lay heaped together
in ouo wild ruin.” 1 lure tfiu old vetrans emo
tions rose above his strength, which sixty-
tliree years had helped to weaken, and lie ev
idently sank exhausted into his scat, amid the
roar of popular applause, tlmt broke forth
from the whole multitude. Parson Stillwa
ter now arose ami all was hushed so still;
von may have hoard a l'ine Bur drop as he
said ; “Let us sing to tho praise of‘Ilini who
made us, and not we ourselves,” tho fifteenth

the smiling Miss Polly,who luid displayed her
beautiful rows of ivory white teeth to groat
advantage nt several incidents; and springing
on her saddle, she fairly out mnuiciivr'd the
Captain, and galloped off on her spirited filly,
to the Squires, where the patrons of the vio
lin passed the night in that cheerful und so-
cial manner, so creditublc to most counties in
Georgia. “My stars. I’d go all tooth and toe
nails for that Gal, if I know’d how to git her,
hut sinss she went down to the Savannah
Boarding School, she’s got ns shy as it nmiien

Captain Barney Blinn, as lie rode on with
Squire Dodd.
