She after ward made a successful voyage across the Atlantic.— On Jan. 24.1641, Edward Bangs launched at Ply mouth a bark of 40 to 60 tons, estimated to cost £200, and she Is reoorded as the first vessel of size built iu the colony.. Hence we may infer that the 44 .Blessing or the By ” was of less tonnage. In 1647, the people of New Haven, to repair their losses on the Delaware, built and freighted a vessel for England, which foundered at sea, and was never heard of aiterward, except in the following remark able manner, on the 44 Jane next ensuing, after a great thunder storm, about ah hour before sunset, a ship of like dimen sions, with her canvass and colors abroad, appeared in the air coming up tho harbor, against tho wind for tho space of halt an boar. Many, says the Rev. Mr. Pierpont,were drawn, to behold this great work of God; real tho very children cried out, 4 7" ~ ’ brave ship I* When so near that a man mig stone on board, her main top seemed blown her mizzen top, then her mastlngseemed blown away by the board, sho overset and so vauisbed into a oraoky cloud. The vision was given, in the opinion of the beholders, that thoy might understand the tragio end of tno ship and their friends.” These vessels were all ships of size for those days. We or the present generation can scarcely realize the little cock boats in which tho early navigators tra versed the ocean only two or three centuries ago.- Gould the navigators of those dayB revisit tho earth, thoy would bo amazed at the improvement In tho construction, comfort and security of the vessels of this day, as well as their enormous Bize. Hume re lates that in 1582, of 1232 vessels belonging to tho Kingdom of Great Britain, only 217 were over 80 tons. A vessel of 40 tons, tho same author says, was considered a largo vessel, and six years snbsoqucnt there were not five vessels fitted out in all Euglaud •whose size exceeded 200 tous. Only one of the ves sels that composed the fleet of Columbus had any dock : the remainder, according to Irving, were nut superior to tho smallest class or modern coasting ves sels. In his third voyogo, when coasting the Gulf of l’ara, Columbus complained of the size of his ship, it being nearly 100 tons bnrdon. The MayQower, wfiich in 1620 brought over tho pilgrim fathers, numbered only 180 tons. “ The Half Moon ” as the 41 Ylie-boat boat ” was called, In which Henry Hudson discovered Now York Buy in 1609, was only 80 tons. Sho was fitted out for Hudson by n Dutch East India Company, and manned by a crow of twenty sailors,partly Dutch and partly English. Tho Half Moon left Amsterdam on the 4th of April, 1609. Early in July it reached the banks of Newfoundland. Touchinr •* r ’-~* hing at Cape Cod, and then straying off to tho mouth or the Chesapeake, looking in at Delaware Bay, and still grouping*along “ * L ““■* - - - • ; of Sept. 2, * . to the northward, on the evening of “Sept. 2“, 1609, Hudson came in sight of tho 44 high bills ” of Neve- siuck, and on tho next evening anchored in Sandy Hook Bay. A VUe-boat is so called from its being built ex pressly for the difficult navigation of the Vile and Texel. The name, as well as the model, was soon adopted in other countries. Tho French call it Fli- bot, the English Flyboat, and the Spanish Flibote; and thus came the modem uamo of Flibuster. or Fili buster, lately so frequently used in connection with tho Cuban expeditions. Hudson ascended tho North ltiveras far os the present site of Albany, and was cloven days sailing np, and as many more drifting down. On the 9th of October, Hudson set sail from Bandy Hook, and steered into the main sea. Steering Eastward for a month, without Bering any land by tho way. on the 7th of November, 1609, no arrived safely ut Dartmouth, in Devonshire. Hudson himself never re-visited the river which bears his name, but tho Half Moon did; while Hud son, in attempting to explore tho Northern ocean, was abandoned by his mutinous crew in a boat, nnd left to perish among fields of ico in the Bay which is call ed after him. The Half Moon soiled in 1611 for the East Indies, nnd on the Gth of Maroh, 1015, was wrecked and lost on the Island of Mauritius. Though ships of 600 tons at tho commencement of tho present century were considered almost too large to rnanago. we hear of ships in tho beginning of tne 17th century, and of tho sarno date as tho Blessing of the Bay, and Virginia and others, of qaito large size, oven for these times, thus: Capt. James Lancaster in 1613 commanded a fiect of five vessels, one of which was a ship of 600 tons.ono of 300, two of 200, and one of 130 tons—and in tho straits of Malacca he 44 cap tured a Portuguese shin of 000 tons, laden with the valuable productions or India” The Royal Prince, built in tho 7th year of the reign ' James I, was 114 feet in length, and her cross of beam 44 feet. Sho mounted 64 pieces of ordnance, nnd was 1400 tons burthen. In 1637, the Sovereign of tho Bcaa was constructed, and was the largest riiip of that date. The length of her keel was 128 feet, nnd from tho stem to tho extremity of her prow was 232 feet, breadth 48 feet, and tho height from tho after part of tho keel to tho top of thoTnnthoru was 76 feet. Sho hod three flush decks, a quarter deck, and round house. There were thirty ports for the first and second tiers of cans, and 20 for the third- two on tho forecastle and 14 on the halt deck. There were also ten guns in the stem, and as many in tho low; but mostof thoso cannon were offlsmnll calibre. Besides King Edgar on horseback at the extremity of the prow, trampling on seven kings, there were six statues on the bulkhead, eight on the waist, and three on tho stem. Sho was covered inside and out with tho moat expensive carved aud giltod ornaments. Tho ship was built at Woolwioh. The timber was cut in mould under the superintendence of Pctt, the archi tect, in the forests or Durham. Four of the largest beams were made from the trunk of an oak which was ten feet diameter at tho bntt; and tho kelson was hewn from » single threo. Bhe seems to have been designed more for splon dor and show than for active Bervlw—and was in 1690, when under repairs in Chatham, accidontly destroyed by fire. Her burthen was just so many tons as there nad been years sinco our blessed Saviour’s Incantation, namely, 1637—and not one under or over. When Capt. Baris visited Japan, in 1013, he men tions seeing a junk of 800 or 1,000 tons—so that at that time their vessels compared in size, if they did 80 tons. Qaeen Elizabeth, at her death, left a navy of 42 vessels, but only two were of ono thousand tons burthen. At tho commencement of tho present century, pronounced too unwieldy a monster to go to sea. Jtalph Willett, writing on shipbuilding in that year, our ships be made a groat deal larger, they might answer tho purpose of parade and vanity, m in the case of the two ships built by the French and Spaniards."

The argumont of that paper that members of the list Legislature who voted against the appropria tion of half a million of dollars to tho State Road, did so through hostility to Savannah, is an ossnmption of bo much arrogance that if proclaimed by our citi zens generally it conld not fall to make tho city rid- icaloaa in tbe eyca of tho peoplo of other portions of Georgia: and here wo will boldly advanco tho opin ion, that whatovor prcjndico exists in tho up country towards Bavannah, is to bo traced, for tho most part, to tho ridiculous alra and arrogance of tho Republican and a fow kindred spirits.

In this spirit thut press commenced the contest againBt him: it has kept it up in the sama spirit. In vain the Thomosville Watchman (published at Mr. Seward's residence) asked that sectional issues might not bo brought into tho canvass. In vain we added our influence to that of tho IValchman to prevent so unfortunate a result. Tho candidate whom the Repub lican did so much to have nominated, lives in this city.

To show with what justice it is persisted in, we may bo excused for re-publlshiug tbo following extracts from a letter which appeared in tho TUpmaavillo Watch man in March lost. It will not be hazarding much to say that they will never find a piaco in tho col umns of tho Republican: From tho Georgia Watchman. Colonel Seward’s Letter. Wc take greut pleasure in laying before our readers tho following letter from Col. Seward. It is a state ment of facts called forth by tho Albany Patriot.— Tho letter speaks for itself, and needs no comments from us: Brunswick, Savannah, and South-western Georgia. Mr. Editor:—I havo no disposition to engngo in any con troversy that Is calculated to engender local prejudices, nr beget a spirit of disaffection and discontent among the citi- tens of different portions of this State—nor is it my wish that such a state of things should exist. F,ocnl Interests will always, to some extent, exert an iufluonco over our judgments, and coutrol our action*. This feeling was mail' ifeated at the mooting of tho momlicrs of the legislature (and others) from tho south.westorn counties. In regard to tho extension of tho South-western Railroad from Ogle thorpe. The advocating certain sectional interests. In which our immediate constituents and neighbors aro concerned, in a fair and liberal spirit, so as not to prejudice tho public, so far from being censurable.is commendable nnd right, 'ihe great desire seemed to be. to bring about unity of purpose and action among tho members of the legislature, repre senting the south-western portion of the Stnto. tills portion of Georgia that our friends in Savannah seem at tho request of many of tho citizens of porti to think. In 1847. Thomas county, and in conformity to ray own views. I pro cured an amendment to the charter of tho Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company, that wo might, If tho means could bo obtained, ojwn a railroad communication with Sa vannah. I remember that Goiieral Dlackshcnr. who is now ideutilied with tho Brunswick ltoad, was ono of tho first to suggest tills amendment. No nnkimlness towardsSavannah ha* prompted our peo plo to favor tho building of the Brunswick road. Isolated os they aro—donlo l tho advantages of a market, without a ruinous tax upon the productive industry of tho Jieople. of from eight to ten dollars upon each bale of col ton. and a corresponding expenso upon other products—they were moved, not only by what they conceived to bo their inter ests but by hign necessity, to offer their help to Iho Bruns wick Company—-when till* Company announced to them that, if subscriptions to a limited amount coutd lie obtain ed in Georgia, the Brunswick road should be built Wis dom, Interest duty, and abovo all. necessity, required ac tivity. energy, and industry, upon the part of tho people here to sustain this company Had Savannah sought our trade, nnd invited us to unite with her in opening a like communication with that city, l do not hesitate to say, that sho would have been responded to. to the fullest oxtent of the means of the peoplo. And. indcod, even now. in the event tho Brunswick Company ■hall in good faith complete their road, still there will bean anxiety nmong tho citizens of this part of tbo State, to havo tho bcue(lt of the Savannah market; and when Savannah almll confer with thorn upon tho subject, sho will, without doubt, receive tho proper earnest of their desires, by liboral subscriptions to accomplish this object. It is true that tho opinion waa prevalent at one time, that Savannah was endeavoring to thwart tho plana of tho Bruns wick Company, nnd Impair this Company's credit, and at -the same time protcndodly organize tho Savannah and Ten ■acola Company, nnd thus divido nnd distrnct the public mind, and ultimately defeat tho Rrunswlck enterprise, aud then abandon tho Savannah and I'onsacola organization.— Tills opinion being entertained, it may necessarily bo sup posed that raoro or less unkind fueling was excited ; but, in proportion ns the public confldonce has increased in Savan nah nnd Pensacola enterprise, and the honest nnd honora ble efforts of the peoplo of Snvnnnah to sustain themselves against a rival city, all unkladnes* of feeling has passed , away. Our people aro too Intelligent to censure Savannnh, bo- causo of nor unwillingness to surrender her commerce for which alio has tolled for years and spent her millions, with out an effort to sustain herself. I consider this controversy as useless and unprofitable, and I should not havo said ono word, had I not been called upon by the Albany Patriot for an explanation In reference to some remarks that havo been attributed to myself. Very respectfully, yours, JAMES L. SEWARD. Attempted Suicide.—Just as tbe steamship Alaba mo was leaving her wlmrf Monday evening,a woman, respectably, attired, attempted to go on board, bnt, having no passage ticket, was prevented. After tho yesHCl had started she attempted to jump into tbe rivor, but was withheld by persons present, who fi nally placed her in a wagon and drovo off. From what coaid be learned, she had been faithlessly de serted by her natural protector, who had taken pas sage in tbe steamer, and, in tho distress of tho mo ment, reason forsook her—honco tho attempt to de stroy herself Our informant did not learn her name or residence. Wo hope she has been kindly cared for. A Nanus OpmuNa—Among tbo many liberal contributions by private citizens, made within a day or two past, in behalf of tbo sufferers in New Orleais, which havo como to our knowledge, that of Mr. A. Cbibtadobo, on Bryan-strcet. is deserving of public mention, not only for its tncniflcenco, bnt for the manner in which it was made. Unsolicited, Mr. G sent bis obeck for $100, to a member of one of tbo col lecting committees, to be applied to tbo goneral fund now being raised. Coming, as this sum docs, from a citizen of unpretending moons, a voluntary offering, it bespeaks a nobleness of heart and purposo worthy of tbia public acknowledgment, which, like tho offer ing, is unsolicited and unexpected. A cotemporary gives tho following remarkable and funny narration, which every one has a right to be- iThe' lieve, if he has a mind to: 1 e Shanghai fowls are doing great things In some of the Eastern Stated A hon lute been 4 setting * on a brickbat for several weeks, and the owner expects soon to havo a brick-yard.

We saw, yesterday, at the office of the Manchester Commercial Association, a sample of 209 bags of-na tive Paraguay cotton, gathered in a wild state, nnd recently arrived in Liverpool from Monto Video. It is not cleaned, but bos a long staple, like Pernambu co cotton, and Is fine and strong in quality. Homo jmrtios, authorities as to tho value of cotton, estimate It os worth lOd. to 12d. per lb.; others are inclined to rate it at a rather lower figure. Bnt there can be no question that it is agood,servicc&b!o cotton, and that if it could bo imported in a clean state and in good condition, it would soon be extensively used. It is reported that large quantities of this cotton grow wild in tho country, far inland, but with good river communication. As Mr. Drabble, a mercantile gen tleman, who takes a strong Interest in the culture of cotton, and wbo, through the Manchester Commercial Association, was furnished by tho Earl of Clarendon with letters of introduction and recommendation , to all her Majesty’s consuls throughout tho countries watered by, or bordering upon, tlio river Plate, bud arrived out ai Monto Video,and would shortly com mence a tour of observation throughout Paraguay Ac., wo may shortly expect to learn something more definite as to quantities of this cotton growing wild, and the practicability oi having it cleaned and shipp ed. I( is scarcely necessary to add, that, in all tropi cal countries where tho plant is found indigenous, it is nerenuial; aud this adds considerably to tho agri cultural and mercautilo value of tho natural product. —Manchester Guardian, July 27. Popping the Question, 44 What a curious sensation that is which troubles a man upon such a mission ? Why does tbe elegantly arranged sentence,studied with so much care, in or der to avoid formality and familiarity, begin to seem bald,nnd bold, nnd bungling, just as it is about to bo wanted ? Why is it finally revised upon tho conrse mat in the ball, nnd utterly rejected upon the silky mat on the landing? Why do you feel choking, as with thirst, and yet conld not drink tho elixir of life if it were presented to you ? Why would you pay a hundred guineas a step to have tho staircase twice ns long as it is, and yet go up as bifatliy os if yon ’ were escaping from a poor relation? Why does that pleas ing bow with which you have so often stooped to con quer—you know it—seem to you at once a great deal too low, nnd a great deal too slight, and altogether abominablo ? Why do you wish yon lind put on that other cravat ? In short, why is your sense so keenly awakened to tho outward man, and to the outside ' rase, and why do you forget that you have hither- *“*" ’"* ***■— to looked like a gentleman, and spoKcn liko a philos opher, nnd generally dotio your duty in that state of lire in which it has pleased Providonco to piaco yon, and that there is no particular reason why, at ono o’clock this fine day, you should make a failure ? It is a satisfactory answer to say that all this is beenuse there sits in the low chair near tho window, in that drawing-room, a bright-eyed young person of tho other sex, who,if you could only see it, can hardly hold her crotchet work for her tremor, who knows intensely well what you mean, nnd what you have eome for. nnd who designs to make yon the kindest possible answer, poor thing 1 if sho should bo able to find proper words, and who, in tho meantime,is in about os Ut condition to criticise you, ns I nm to cor rect tho ‘Jupiter symphony,’or the ‘Nautical Al manac.' Let mo appeal to some of my friends whether I have overstated the caso. There Is Captain Pounder, that big, handsome man with black .whiskers, who, in one of those dreadful Punjanb lights, rode slowly up aslope of three-quarters of a mile towards a fort from which our dear oriectal brethren were blazing upon us with seventy cannons, and remarked to ills comrades, ns lie dashed singly into tho narrow breach, that he would 'wait inside—just ask that dauntless person how lie felt when going to propose to Laura Green, of tho Engineers. Or speak to tho Secretary of State for tin* unhesitating Department, who thinks nothing of tackling a roaring nnd excited House of Commons at midnight, draging a comrade out of a mens, and, like Tydidcs, tearing the strongest bailie of his antagnists, ndmidst shoots that would dismay a statute. Only ask how it was that he went three times to make a personal offer to Lady Asphodel Winglington, and at last was obliged to do it in a beautiful despatch—letter, I mean. Do not talk to me about faint hearts and fair ladies--of course wo know that many an estimable female is very good- natured, and would give you her hand just ns she would give you tho salt, or the nutcrackers, because you seem to bo looking for it, and will in no degree appreciate your making snch sentimental fuss about the matter, (ami a remarkably good partner such a woman will make, too. mind that.) but our discourse at present is less of partnership than of marriage.” Suoeesifnl Tnct. The elevation of Mr. Labouchero, now a member of t'e Brilirh Cabinet, is rather a singular story. In 1822. Mr. I*abo»chcre, a clerk in tho bnukinghoiiso of Hope, of Amsterdam, was sent by his patron to Mr. Bai ing, the celebrated London banker, to negotiate a loan. Hu displayed in tho affnir so much ability, as to entirely win the esteem and confidence of the Eng lish banker. 44 Faith," said he ono day to Baring your daughter is a charming creature; I wish I c mld persuade yon to give me her hand.” " Young man, you nre joking; for seriously you must allow that Miss Baring could never become the wife of a simple clerk." 44 But,” said Labouchero. 44 if I was in partnership with Mr. Hope.” 44 Oh 1 that would bo a different thing; that would entirely make up for all deficiencies.” Returned to Amsterdam, Lnhnu- chore said to lus natron, 44 you must take mo into partnership.” 44 My youngfriond, how can yon think of such a thing? It is impossible—You aro without fortune, and—” 44 But if I become the son-in-law of Mr. Baring?” 44 In that caso, tho affair would be soon settled, and so you havo my word.” Fortified with these two promises, Labouchere returned to Eng land, nnd in two months after married Miss Baring, because Mr. Hone had promised to take him into partnership; and ho became allied to tho house of Hope on tho strength of that t promise of marriage. Useless Learning. What is it ? Who ever had any learning that ho had no use for? It may have cost him too much- loo much timo, or too much money; hut who ever saw a man that would be willing to give it up, or forego the advantages of anything he had ever learn ed, for all it liud cost him? And why? Because he knows tho value of that, if nothing else ; and wo nil prize our acquisitions according to tho cost, what ever thoy be worth of themselves, or to another—us wc do a grandfather's picture, which our next neigh bor would not accent for a fire-board. But certain studies are said to bo useless. Wlmt are thoy? No two persons agree.

Wire*lino, August 13—A man named Martin Mai- vcy. lately In the employ of tlie Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, was arrested at Wheeling, this mornlni *des!p ihet . Thursday last. Mr. Bogard, an intelligent farmer of tho neighbor hood, testifies that at about an hour previous to the arrival of the train from Baltimore, on tho day of tbo accident, he was driving a team homeward, and aa ho renobed the brow of a high hill that overlooks the track, he observed M&lvey to approach the switch and deliberately took a key rrora ms pooket, unlock tbe liali or lever, and Ioave it in that Htate. Supposing him to belong to tho service, and to be acting m obe dience to orders, Bogard said nothing about his dis covery .until after ho learned that the train bad run offset the switch on account of Malvcy's derangement The prisoner was taken to Monnsvillo, on tho Ohio river, and safely lodged in jail to await his trial— Great credit ia duo to tho Railroad Company for tho promptness and efficiency with which thoy havo acted in this matter. Mr. Ford, their agent at tho station, and Mr. Tymyer, assistant road muster, desorvo men tion for their Intelligent zcalin tho premises. St. Aaguatlne*-A Bummer He sort. Wc are gratified to pcrcelvo that several families rom the Interior have takon up their residence in our city during tho present Bummer montha to onjoy tho benefits of our delightful climate. We havo thought, and we prophesy it, that St. Augnstino will become quite a resort for planters from the interior. The bealthfuiuess of onr city eqnals, if not exceeds every.oUier town or city on the Atlantlo Coast or tbo United States. Wo have none of the sweltering heats nude?which other places aro suffering. Tho mercu ry in the Thermometer seldom rises abovo 96° Far., in the shade, and almost invariably tho trade winds prevail which modify and temper tho intense rays or a tropical sup and render tho atmosphere Invigorating and barcing. Wo lifivofacilities for sea bathing, and onr hotels have an enviable reputation for the manner in which they are kept, and tho good cheer which is served up on their tables. Thoso who are fond of rnuatic and pis catory sport havo an unbounded field before them. When these advantages become more generally known we doubt uot, many who make an annual pilgrimage North will find equal pleasure, and far more econom ical. All who may adopt this notion, will find a cor dial welcome from open and generous hearts.—An cient City. The Only American Pauper In England. Hon. Edward Everett related this incident, in a re cent lecture at Trlplcr Hall, New York. When I was in Loudon, a fow years ago, I received a letter from ono of their interior counties or Eng land, telling me that they had in their House of Cor rection ah American seaman, or a person who pre tended to be. who was both a pauper and rnnguo— They were desirous of being rid of him, and kindly offered to place him at my disposal. Although he did not bid fair to be a very valuable acquisition, I wrote back ho might bo sent to London, where he could be shiped by tho American Consul to tho Uni ted States. I ventured to add the suggestion, that if hor Majesty's minister at Washington were applied to by a similar way by tho overseers of tho poor, and, wardens of tho prison In the United States, ho would bo pretty busily occupied. Bnt I really felt pleased when my own little State of Massachusetts was as sisting ten or tweivo thousand destitute British sub jects, annually, to relievo the British Empire of the only American pauper quartered upon it. Railroads Carryino tub Mails—Tho Postmas ter General has sent a circular to the various railroad companies carrying the United States mails under obnrgo of route agents, pointing out the necessity for their proper accommodation, and for tbe security of their charge, demanding, too, thnt they shall all strictly comply with tho common clause of their spo- cillo contracts, binding them to have cars exclusively for mails. He furnishes them with a diagram, show ing his viow of what is necessary, first for securit' and next to facilitate tho labors nr tbo mail agents (.. assorting and delivering mails from trains. He also points out the necessity for in future preventing any one, excepting United States mail agents, from hav ing access to the body of the mail car.—Washington Legal Examination.—Justices Philip M. Russell, Laurence Connell, nnd Levi 8. Hart, were engaged during tho whole of yesterday in an examination of tho case of tho State vs. Ileniy tVeigand, charged with the crimoof murder, in the killing of Maximil ian Andre.,, Tho examination was not brought to a close until this morning, owing to the lurgo»niurnber of witnesses examined. After a full and patient hearing, the defendant was bound over to tho Supe rior Court of tho county, to answer to tho charge of " involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful act." Bail, in tho sum of $8,000. was ex acted, and waa given by the defendant, Messrs. Jo seph Lippman nnd Christopher White being his se curities. Tho evidence before tho Magistrates, wo are informed, was chiefly circumstantial.—Journal, yesterday.

The Steamer Allegany—The Norfolk Herald stales, on what it considers good authority, that the U. S. steamer Allegany, uow fitting out at that port, is to take Mr. Walker out to China. The Allegany’s boilers are similar to thoso of the Princeton, but it is expected that, with hor light draught of water, they will prove more efficient. She will shortly mako a trial trip, and if she succeeds, will bo placed at Mr. Walker s disposal. The heat of Saturday and yesterday showed no mitigation in intensity. The thermometer ranged in the shade during the middle of both days from 92 to 96 degrees, according to exposure. The continuance of this unusual degree of heat is of course severely felt by nil, but especially hy those who are exposed hy out-door labor to its effects ; and labor of this kind has been very generally suspended during that part of the day in which tho bent is greatest—Baltimore American, 15/A.
