«&;■*»m* fha Ictdlartonra mule by iht Whig* la the late cteoUota. <»ta Orat aoir pendtaRtaOeorgta,) U the character of Qonerel Pauics’a appointments, North M d Sooth, Eut and Wwt, the obaagt* hate boon rune upon the charge that the object* of hU peculiar favor are, and haw been, Abolltlonlita and Becca- BiooixUI And the people were begged, Implored, entreated, to rebuke him at the ballot box. Bo wild with excitement became hU enemies that they aotn* ally penoaded themaelvea that what they ao much desired was being done. The New York Courier and Enquirer announced: " In the meantime there ap* pear* to be a general felling away from the Presi dent.” The Savannah Republican harping upon the string to which we have alluded, said tola appoint- menu had driven off thousands of Pimroi’s former political friends " so that he might be said to be a President without a party." Well, what is the ver dict which the people have rendered In this action of the Whigs versus the President? We will refer to their deotsion in a few 8Utes which have lately held elections: the Issue everywhere being Purob’b Ap- polntmenta—denounced by Whlga: defended by Dem ocrats. Virginia led off by electing a friend of the adminis tration In every Congressional District in that glori ous old State. ; North Carolina, one of Whlggery’s strong holds, followed, electing five Democrats (we claim Clino- iiah,) and three Whlga to represent her In the next Congress. And one of the throe is only elected be* oause the Democratic vote (nearly double hla own) was divided between two Democratic candidates. Alabama has elected six friends of Piescb, and bat one opponent. Kentucky 1 yes, the Whig State of Kentucky, one of the four that voted against tho President, now sends a delegation, one half of whose members are hla ardent supporters. Tennessee, one of the other three that felled to sus tain him last fall, has now repented, and by the elec tion of the administration candidate for Qorcrnor, has pronounoed her verdict »rt favor of Pierce. That will do " for a President without a party.”— So much for Whig abase and Whig curses. The only two States that now stand out clearly in opposition to the administration, are the abolition strong holds of Vermont and Massachusetts. Are not our Whig friends asking a little too much when they require Georgia to take her place with them, so as to make the number three ? The joke is really Tlcb. Not Georgia beg* to bo excused from that en tertainment. She will, by the election of Judge Johnson, a friend of the administration, show her continued confidence in him to whom she gave her vote, by an immense majority for President, lost No vember. She chose Johnson as an elector then—she will choose him as her Governor now. Jenkins she refbsed to sustain, when a candidate for the Vice- Presidency—(his votes were few indeed.) She will not now make him her Chief Magistrate. Mr. Bartow's Oratory* It seems to ns that Mr_ Bartow’s friends are rather unfortunate in the selection of an example of bis leg islative prowess. They point us to " the eloquent, the brilliant speech ” which he made in advocacy of nn appropriation by the State to aid in tho extension of the South-western Railroad. On that occasion we are told that he " entirely tclipstd the member from Thomas.” His speech “ was the universal theme of praise throughout the House of Representatives,” Ac., Ac., Ac. Will the reader believe that Immediately after this much lauded speech the vote was taken, and the bill lost ? Mr. Babtow’s eloquence fell upon bis hearers as “ Bonndipg brass ■ and a tinkling oymbal.” His auditors admired it but were not persuaded by it.— Now we think If he had succeeded in commending bis cauM-mort, and-btaeelf less, to the admiration of bis hearers, his achievement would have been much more satisfactory to the parties interested la the ex tension of the road. There Is a species of oratory which wins our admi ration for the prater bnt not our support for his meas ure. We wonder at his fluency, and admire hla sil very tones, bis graceful diction, his melodious and swelling periods—listen to him as to tbosub'Imist music, and when he has finished say how handsome ly he has acquitted bimsclt—and vote against his bill, or convict bis client. Qn the other band, there is oratory—no,ft Is not thought worthy of that name —it is only plain, direct, simple, earnest, cogent, fer vid . reasoning; every word reaches the understand ing and goes home to the heart. In listening we never think of admiring the speaker, never ask our selves whether he Is awkward or graceful, fluent or hesitating. Bat we feel as he feels, think as thinks, and when ho sits down we vote as he votes— if legislators, or if jurors, say “ the prisoner is not gailty.” Mr. Bartow la a gentleman whose oratory would any where elicit admiration,but whether in the halls of Congress it would be found effective we very much doubt. That a Representative of laborious business habits, fruitful in resources aad expedients, practical in bis effort* and unflagging in his energies—such a man as we believe Col. Seward to be—would accom plish more for his constituent* while be would per haps acquire leu admiration for himself—we think Ukely. Add to this the immense advantage which Col. Seward would have in being a member of the majority and a supporter of the administration, and wc cannot donbt the interests of this district require his election. •* He newer Went to School." Such is the language in which the organ of Mr. Bar tow, sneers at Col. Seward’s waut of tho early edu- catlonal advantages, which wealth gives to the sons of the rich and the fortunate. 11 This,” we are told by it," is the very best reason why he should not go to Congress.” Indeed 1 Col. Seward’s parents were too poor to Bend him to college. He was left like some of the wisest and worthiest who have adorned our country’s history to educate himself.' This in the opinion of the Republican, la the best reason why he should not go to Congress ? Have we in this land of professed, and we bad sup posed real, Republicanism reached the time when none but college-bred gentlemen are worthy of office 1 Are the sons of the'poor who grow np without the advantage of schools—left like Col Seward to edu cate themselves by their own uninstructed efforts— are they to be told, no matter what talent* God may have given them, no matter bow laboriously and with what struggles they may have improved those tal ent*, yet If they " never'went to school ” after ten years of age," they can’t go to Congress ?” They are to be told, " High office Is not for sucb a* yon. Yon mast stand back.for frpbr betters—your superiors— men who have fciett accomplished by the training of schools and colleges'.” How will the plain people of this District, hundreds of whom are unable to provide school and college ed ucation for their sons, like to have it proclaimed to them that those sons, whatever their merits may here after prove to be—however much they may, by their own efforts, improve themselves—yet not having gone to school, they can’t go to Congress ? They must be kept down through life 1 And here let ns say it la not a fact, as obarged, that Col. Sbwabd "boasted, with egotistic emphasis,” that he " never went to school.” Apologising for the embarrassment under which he manifestly labored, In his address to the very large audienoe which greeted him In Barsnnah, he mentioned as a matter of re gret, not of boasting, his want of early advantages. For oar part, we envy not the man who could make the confession of snob a misfortune, the subject of bis flippant sneers. V Ths Hew Steamer.

Factory Labor In Rhode Island. The recent passage of an act by the Rhode Island Legislature, making ten hours a logoi day’s work, is creating considerable disturbance among the manu facturing villages of that State. Upon tho day on whloh the law went into operation many of the fac tories dosed, the proprietors not being willing to have the law obeyed. A convention of manufactur ers haaaince been held at Providence, and it was de cided by them that the operatives should bargain to labor nine hours on Saturdays, and twelvo hours du ring the other working days of tho week, or they would not give them employment.—Slate of Maine. What is the difference, in this case, between volun tary aud involuntary servitude ? From the Fishing Gronmls—Helxnre of an American Fishing Vessel. Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 22. The schooner Roslna,froih the bay of St. Lawrenco which arrived in this port this morning, reports that the schooner Star Light, of Gloucester, wo* captured by the British war steamer Devastation on the Gth inst., when fifty miles above Gasp, and carried into that place. The Devastation, previous to the capture, passed by a fleet of vessels, and proceeded to tue Star Light, which was lying becalmed with another vessel. The former was seised, while the latter was suffered to go unmolested. The 8tar Light is o new vessel, valued at $5,500, and belonged to Mr. H. Steele. She has on board at the time of capture two hundred aud fifty barrels of mackerel. Captain Howard, of the Rostna, states that he was informed that two armed American vessels lmd pass ed through the Gnt of Conso, but he saw nothing of them. The U. 8.

Bloop-of-war Cyane, Commander Hollins, anchored off Holmes’ Hole, on Thursday last, in a fog, and landed tho purser, Mr. Upham, on official business. She proceeded on Friday for Portsmouth, and thence will probably proceed to the fishing grounds. The loss by tho burning of Gilbert’s piano forte factory, on Woshlngton-Btreet, yesterday afternoon, will bo 130,000, on which there is an insurance for $20,000. . The Yellow Fever at Natchez—Over Two Hundred Deaths, Natchez, Miss., Aug. 20. The yellow fever has existed in this city for several days, having, it is supposed, been brought here by sorno vessel from New Orleans. Up to tbo present writing, upward of two hundred deaths have taken E laco; the excitement is very great. Many persona ave left the city, and others are leaving. A large building has been provided, which is to be used as a hospital for the indigent sick. The authorities navo pronounced tho fever to bo epidemic. Yellow Fever lit Mobile. The Board of health has already Informed the pnb- lio that the yellow fever exists among us. We shall endeavor, while it lasts, to keop our readers accurate- lyfadvised of it* progress, so that thero will be no oc casion for tho usual exaggerations in regard to It.— We see nothing to bo gained and much to be lost by concealments or misrepresentations. Wo may state, on the best of authority, that the type of the disease is entirely unlike that which is now prevailing in New Orleans. Thero it was mark ed at first, and is now, by great mortality—one per haps out of six or ten casus only being within the reach of curative means. Here not one in ten but that yields to them. We know of five of our most respectable physicians who have, perhaps, In the ag gregate, twenty cases, and there is no danger in any of them of a fatal termination. One of these gentle men, who lias had much experience in treating the disease, assures us that he ha* never.seen it develop ed In a form bo mild and manageable. There is no reason for alarm. Within our own knowledge some of the fatal cases—perhaps all of them—have been owing either to gross imprudence or to neglect until tho disease was beyond the reach of medicine. As it is now, it is not more serious in Ite nature than the ordinary bilious fever, and may bo managed as readily, if tho proper remedies be ad ministered without .delay. Whether our spinion as to tho fntnre extent and fatality of tho disease be true or not; will be shown within a few day's. Until then, there can be no dan ger, where ordinary prudence Is used.—Tribune. Needful Caution to Steamboat Captnlua, Mates, Clerks, etc. It is, perhaps, not generally Known, that tho law of all the Slave States, holds tho officers of all boats carrying passengers, responsible for the genuineness of the ticket or other paper, by whicli a slave may obtain passage in such bout. If such slave thereby escape, and the ticket or other paper prove to be a forgery, the owners of the boat may be compelled to respond iu damages to the owner of the slave, and the captain or other officer who was deceived, may also be subjected to a harassing and vexatious crimi nal prosecution. We have heard that the owners of •a boat line from Charleston and also from Savannah, have lately experienced some Blight loss from trust ing to forged tickets. The Memphis paper* also state that one Captain Timms, of the steamboat Au- rilla Wood,ha* been bound over to answer criminal ly for a like default. He is represented to bo a South erner above suspicion, and yet he is to be prosecuted, and may be fined for tbo carelessness or criminality of the under officer wbo admitted the slave on board. We would suggest as a proper guard against every danger of this sort, that our steamboat line* take no colored persons on board unless vouched for by a re sponsible white person, or by a hand-writing well known to some officer of the boat.—Ch. Standard. Novel Mode of Getting Passengers up and flown tl»e Ohio River. Boats now plying on the Ohio river, below Louis- ville.take a lighter in tow, and a* the majority take no freight—nothing but passengers—they manage pretty well to lighten over tho most difficult bars, after the following fashion : Just before reaching a bar the lighter is hauled for ward, opposite the boilers. Ladies and gentleman are politely requested by the steward, who carries a bell, to " walk overboard.” " Everybody overboard,” re-echoes the sturdy mates of the forecastle, aud over board every live passenger goes ; not into tbo river, but Into tbo flat or wood boat alongside. It i* then ta ken in at the stein of the stcamor, and after crossing the shoal, the word is given for" everybody to get on board,” and accordingly the passenger* scramble back to the steamboat. Three or four bars in tbe distance of 160 mile* are crossed in this way, after which tbe lighter is cost loose for some other boat bound up or down, as the caso may he.-St, Louis News. . Important Commercial Decisions. At tho last term of the Supreme Court of this State, a case of novelty and great commercial Inter est waa decided. A negotiable note was purchased in Mobile by Mr. Westfeldt, the maker* of which lived in Sumter and Mobile couuties. Jt appears that prior to tho purchase, certain persons wno lived in Sumter, and who claimed to be creditors of an insol vent bank in Mississippi, filed their bill in tbe Chan cery Court of Sumter, to which tbe maker* of the note and certain other persona who, it was charged, held the note in trust for the said Mississippi bank, were made parties, and upon which an injunction re straining the negotiation and payment of tbe note, was granted against tho defendant. , The evidence in the case showed that Mr; Wertfcldt purchased the note before maturity,and fora.valnable consideration, without any notice, in feet, of the pen dency of said bill, or that there waa any claim out standing against said note. Bnt the proceedings in Chancery snowed that the bill was filed and an in junction granted and served in Sumter before tbe purchase waa made in Mobllo. Tbe ease was triod before tbe Circuit Conrt at Mo bile. The counsel for Westfeldt contended that, while it may be admitted, as a general rnlo, that the pen dency of a suit withdraws the subject matter, and prevents its sale or transfer, except subject to tbe operation of the docree to be rendered in the came, yet that the safety of commercial transactions re- a uircs that negotiable paper should be excluded from s operation. On the other eido it was contended that tbe rale Is of universal application. There was a Judgment for tbe plaintiff below, and at tho late term the Supreme Conrt affirmed this judgment. Tims an important principle has been decided in favor of commercial dealings, and it Is somewhat re markable, as we learn from tbe learned and lncid brief of Col. Phillips, which has been printed in this city, that no express adjudication has heretofore been made on tbe subject, either in this country or Eng land. The case waa argued for the plaintiff by P. Phil lips, and for tbe defendant by Messrs. A. F. Hopkins and W.G. Jones.—Mobile Tribune. *5 igih tSMrtTfiilni bll bofwBp 1 . „ . -iV-ia - tin mill air « mornlng-iiot Hialono tin*remain, t tlllolght or nlao o’otookln a otoiw ohaubor, .looping , Rdall, ■tapliyingsleap, '.

Foots In the British A American Iron Trade. There Is a general firmness In the British Iron mar ket, Tho prices for common bar have advanced from £4 6s. to £8 per ton, and the prices tor refined have appreciated relatively. Scotch pig and other favorite brands command 60s. sterling per ton. The present stock of pig metal In Scotland la about 100,Q0Q tons; less than usual at this season. Tbe American sea board is quite bare or Scotch pig, which is quick at $35 per ton, 6 months. In Railroad Iron tbo advance is remarkable. Ralls am very firm at £0 por ton. Although new mills may Ijo started, yet lust in proportion as they withdraw B ig metal from its usual course for foundry purposes, icy raise tho price of nig metal. British hills cannot be laid down in our north-wes tern Interior at less tiian $81) |»er ton. There is every probability that merchant iron must rule veiy high. We are told that many of the manufacturers in Great Britain havo determined to blow ont their far-, nnces rather than submit to tho demands of their workmen. A nnmber of furnaces have already been blown out In Wales. Since 1860, tho projection of railways has extended into almost every country of Europo. Late in that year, when rails were selling in wales at the enor mous loss on the piece of £4 16s., tho Emperor oi Russia ordered 140,000 tons of rails in one purchase. France, Austria. Russia, Central Germany, and even Spain and Italy began to lay rails. Norway has Just completed her first railroad. Denmark is making a lino of nearly 500 miles through Finland. India, Egypt and Brazil have come in for their fair share.— N. Y. Express. The Slave Trade. Tho Captain-Gcueral of Cuba ha* sent an agent, Senor Torriente, to England, to give tho British Gov ernment assurances that more vigilance shall be ob served in puttingdown tbe slave trade. He has also, we are assured, removed from office Col. Pantaleon Lopez Aylion,Lleut.-Governor of Pinar de Rio, for want of vigilance in the case of the slave ship Jasper. He has sent no fewer than four different commissions to Pinar del Rio and Bailee, to institute inquiries as to the landing of tho slaves from tbe Jasper, all of which, however, returned to Havana, declaring that no such vessel or slaves ever had arrived at tho place indicated. He charged, we also learn, that his pre vious secretary, Gallano, (a very able officer, by the way, who is now in SpaJn under expectation or pro motion,) with being responsible for the number of slaves formerly imported. Col. Reyes, L!ent.-Gover- nor of Cienfuegoa, has also been dismissed bis office, for receiving bribes from Julian Julneta, in the case of the Lady Suffolk, but Mr. Julian Zuluqta himself is uliowed to remain arrested at bis own house, in stead of the Fort Cabana, under-tho plea of ill health. Tiie Captain-General says also that the slave trade shall be put down, and he has this time, and for the first tiino, pretty well succeeded in convincing Mr. Crawford, the British Consul, that he is in earnest, as also Mr. G.’s very vigilant secretary, Sidney Smith, who so writes to this city.—N. Y. Express. German Immigrant*. The emigration from Germany to the United States increases rapidly everv year, as Is shown by the offi cial returns ; during the coming year it is likely to be greater than ever. A letter in tho N. Y. Evening Post, from Hellbronc, Wirtemburg, written by a na tive German, who lias resided in this country for twenty years, savs : " Every steamboat that leaves my native city, takes away numbers of emigrants. They go by various routes. Bremen is the cheapest, the fare being only 35 guilders, or 14 dollars from Manheirato New York, for steerage passage. By tbo Havre route it ranges from 45 to GO guilders—by way of London, the same. All classes of society emigrate now. Two sons of a wealthy family leave to-morrow, both excellent young men, of fine appearance, and bearing tbe bcstcnnrac- tors. Tho government here have lately taken much interest in the fate of tho emigrants on tbe Journey, and have to some extent bettered their condition.— Emigrant axents must deposit security bonds for 10, 000 guilders, so that tnere may be redress in case of fraud, and they are individually responsible for the whole contract from here to New York. " By far the greatest number of emigrants go to the United States through New York. From Hamburg and Bremen, however, many go to South America, both on the Pacific and Atlautic sides—many servant girls emigrate, and In consequence wages for female help have risen here. *• The King, as ho passed to the river yesterday, a visit to this city, saw at every corner largo plucards, announcing shipping opportunities for America, by the various agents, representing many lines.

O, Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. Cholera In Cuba—the Sugar Crop. &c. Havana, August 13, 1853.—The complaint has been very general through the sugar growing dis tricts, that the cane was being impaired and losing strength of shoot fur want of rain. The appearance of the weather in this vicinity would indicate tbut the hopes of the planter were not to bo cut off for this cause ; hut the showers we have, may be conlled to the coast, and uot reach the impoj^ant producing dis tricts. The cholera seems to be tbo most effective agent of evil for the agricultural industry at this time as es tates are losing hall of their forces in the course of four or five days—and it is said to be of more malig nant tvpe than in 1832-33, Owing to the small list of vessels in oar port, it has been impossible to effect any transactions of im portance in our sugar market, although the disposi tion of holders has very materially relaxed from their demands of last week. Bnt in vain sheir yielding the point. Speculators will hot touch the trade, un til they can have assurance of carriage. There have been three consecutive days in the past week, wiien we were without a' free vessel on the north side of Cuba, which has not occurred before for the last seven years, at so early a date. A planter to-day has informed me that out of 240 negroes he hud upon ids estate, when last heard from, 100 were left.—a difference of three days,—and the probability of still greater loss. We have in Havana and among tiio shipping in port, less sickness than is usual in the winter. The diseaso seem to be con fined to the interior, and to the blacks, which may be attributable to manner of living, and constant expos ure. Speech from nit Indian. At a recent council of Indians of different tribes, held near Fort Smith, Arkansas, Par-he-yokah, a Camaucbe chief, delivered the following speech, and the Fort Smith Herald says it is a fair specimen of the whole of the speeches made on the occasion. We could name some speakers nearer home who might tuke a lesson in moderation aud charity from the Ca in an die chief: Par-lie-yokah said: " The Great Spirit, I have no doubt, is very glad to see so many Indians of different nations to meet together for the purpose of establish ing peace, aud give their pledge to each other to live by It forever. I atn vey happy, Indeed, to see aud meet with my Eastern brothers In council. We older men know correctly for what these nations of differ ent tongues convoked, and we are glad that the peace, rarely known among us, U established for our good. It is our duty to teach our younger people, who do not understand the transactions to-day, the true mean- lug or our council j and let our rising generations bo trained up and grow fast in this great white talk we are receiving to-day. Brothers, our lives are not in our hands; we cannot last always, tbe Great Spirit will call ns awoy some day, and will put somebody in our stead. 1 consider this talk to be like the roots of grass that in every Spring the green and beautiful blades will shoot out and blossoms of sweet odor, but the Autumnal moon will come and bite them off with its white teeth, but it has no effect on the roots. It is just so with ns, we cannot die with this talk.— While we live, we make this talk Bweet to our people uronnd our council fires, but after we are gone, tula talk still survives, and still has its oedorous smells to ail united natters. (Here be held up his right hand toward Heaven.) May the Great Spirit sanction our doings to-day, »nd faithfully make us keep this good talk given ns from our brothers at the rising sun?’ Increase In Luxuries. A writer In the New Hampshire Sentinel has a file of the New Hampshire Recorder, or 1789-’B1, from which ho extracts the story of a "Farmer,” who com plains of.bard sledding, through the growing extrav agance of the times. He wRs doing well, and when his second daughter married, his wife Bald, "Come, yon are rich, you know : Molly has uothlng but what she spnn, and she ought to fare os well as neighbor N.’s Betty.” "Well, We, do as yon think best; I bare never been stingy.” Wife goes to town and re turns with a calico gown, a calamanco petticoat, a set or stone tea-enps, half a dozen pewter tea-spoons, and tea-kettle—" things that were never seen In my house before. I did not feel it, and Molly was as well fitted out as any girl In the parish.” In three years tbe third daughter waa to be married, and wife comes again for the purse; but when she returned what did I see?—a silken gown, silk for a cloak, a looking- glass, China tea geur, Ac., Ac., and an empty purse. ’ This was followed by extravagance in furniture and dress in his own bouse,and the poor roan Is In a peck of trouble—taxes and ruin *, and desires his story may be told, in hope that these .growing.abase* may be abated.

The New Haven Palladium says that Mr. Snell, • pilot of New London, has been fined $12,000 for aid- thor write, the valetudinarian walk or ride, and the mecbauicor farmer be at work as early as possible. Nor is this all. The great bulk of enterprises that fall owe their ruin to not having boon begun right— A business is undertaken without suffiolont capital, connexion,or knowledge. Iteudsunfavorably. Why? Because it was not begun right. A young profession al man, whose probationary period of study has been Buont in plvanure rather than In bard reauing, com plains that. he cannot succeed. Why. again ? Be cause ho has not begun right either I A stock com pany blowB np. Still why ? Ten to one, the ineaus employed'we re not adequate to the end, or else it was started with inefficient officers, and in either case it was not begun right. The young housekeepers breakup their gay establishment, the lady going home, perhaps to her father’s, taking her husband with her. Why? They did not begin right, for they commenced on too large ascale, forgetting that tho expenses of a family increaso every year, and that, in ho event, is It safe for a man to live np to his income. An inventor starts a manufactory, in which his Improvements in machinery Ib brought in to play ; but after awhile he finds himself insolvent; ids factory is sold ; another reaps where lie has sown. Why ? Alas 1 like too many otbors, ho has underta ken more than he has means to carry through ; he did not begin right; aud his ruin was tho consequence. But above all things, life should bo begun right.— Young men rarely know how much their conduct, during their first lew years, affects their subsequent success. It is not only that older persons, iu the same business, from their opinions uf them at this time, but that every beginner acquires, during these yean*, habit* for good or ill which color his whole future ca reer. We have seen some of the ablest young men, with every advantage of fortune and friends, sow the seeds to ruin and early death, by indulging too freely in tho first years of manhood. We have seen others, with far less capacity, nnd without any backing bnt industry and energy, rise gradually to fortuno and influence. Franklin is a familiar illustration of what a man can do who begins right. If ho had been too proud to eat rolls In the street when ho was a poor boy, he would uever had been minister plenipotentia ry to the court of France.

Republic. The Belgian Law of Divorce! Some years since, a young Belgian ludy, fresh from her convent education, appeared in society, captiva ted a young fellow-countryman, with well oiled hair and patent leather boots, and after an acquaintance of a few weeks married him. The happy pair so journed, ns is often tho custom abroad, with the father and mother ol the lady. The young wife was a gav lady, and the young husband was quite as gay a lord. At every ball and party iu the capital they were pre sent ; and as married ladies are especially selected by continental gentlemen for what they call " adora tion,” the young wife, although she got no more of it than she liked, was honored with considerably more than pleased her husband. The latter remonstrated, the lady rebelled, and " my wife’s mother” supported her daughter. Tho husband settled tho matter by putting on his hat and retiring to his own paternal mansion. The martial feud was now intense, and the conjugal couple were only of the same mind touching one single subject—application to the|tribunalH for a divorce. This was done ; but the Belgian law will allow of no such annulling of a marriage contract, until tbe angry parties shall have renewed their de mand for a divorce every year for three years. Our a couple nourished their wrath during this tri- period of probation—thrice made the demand —and we to duly announced last year to bear consent given that they who bad been made one henceforth and forever, remain two. From opposite sides of the court the married pair witnessed the untying of the knot; and, when they were free,they passed out at the common portal into the public street. Apuroxi- nmtion fired friendship, and the gentleman offered his hand to tho lady, in token that there was no malice between them. Friendship had no sooner lit his torch than ho illumined tfio slumbering clndera on the chilled altar of love; and the young couple walked together to their married home, whence tho husband lias never since permanently withdrawn. A Co temporary of John Wesley. A correspondent of the New York Christian Ad vocate 4* Journal says that " William Sing, bom in England, June 4th, 1702, now iu his 02d yeur, lives in that city, and is smart and well. Ho, on several oc casions, listened to tho preaching of John Wesley, near 70 years since. He has belonged to ths church 65 years.” Dr. Boyd, the editor of the Advocate, very properly requests that some competent scribe aliali at once proceed to record the verbal testimony of tills aged person. If a boy of twelve, who witnessed the crucifixion of our Saviour, lmd, when 02, related it to a boy of twelve, and he to another in like manner, and so another down to tho present moment, there would be but 21 messengers between him who witnessed the Hcenc and those to whom the narrative would at this day be communicated. This should make us realize a closer vicinage to that great era than we usually do. A more reliable medium, however, than the remem brance of evou tho wisest and best of men, was chos en by the Almighty to perpetrate tho history of that time, and few who examine it ever doubt of its ou tlie n tlcity.—Rollimore Clipper. Lightning.—Wo publish the following as appro priate to tho present season : "Mr. E. Meriatn, of New York, a distinguished scientific writer and practical philosopher, says that persons struck by lightning should not bo given up ns dead for at least three hours. During the first two hours they should be drenched freely with cold water, and if this falls to produce respiration, then odd salt aud continue, tho drenching for another hour.” Exodds op Indiana Neoroks.—The Cincinnati Commercial says that the wharves of that city arc alive with negro families, with their household goods, recently landed from some ol the lower river or Madi son Btearaera. They are moving from Indiana in consequence of tho enactment* of tbe Legislature enforcing tho 18tli article of the new constitution of that State. All persona whose mothers are unable to prove tbo possession of a greater portion than one- sixteenth of European blood, and who came into Hooslerdom since Nov.1851, are forced to take up their beds—If they have any—and walk. All ne groes, mulnttocB, quadroons, Ac., who can prove a residence in tho State prior to Nov. 1,1851, are al lowed to .remain under oertain conditions, and by registering their nameayvitb the county clerk. Any person who employs a negro who is in the State, con trary to tho new law, is liable to a fine uot less than $10 and not more thap,'$5( ,rt ' Method op Detecting Counterfeit Silver Coin. —Ha piece of silver bo'dipped into a solution of chromate of potash, decomposed by sulphuric-acid, (thirty^two parts by weight of water, three of chn* mate of potash ana four of sqlpharic acid,) the parts of the silver immersed in thesolution, quickly assume a Durple color. The cholorlng is deeper and more lively when the silver is quite pure, and diminishes iu proportion to the quantity of alloy mixed with it.— Of coarse this process will not hold good when a coating of silver has been deposited on a piece of white metal, Ac.; in auch cases as plated or electro- typed articles, for Instance, a portion or the coating must be filed off; upon trial by tills process, the Ger- man sliver will remain of a. white color. No other metals give the Barae color as silver when submitted to this test; copper, zinc, Ac., are acted upon by the solution, bnt not colored as in the case of silver— Scientific American. If a well-bred woman is surprised in careless cost ume, she does not try to dodge behind a door to con ceal deficiencies, nor does she turn red nnd stammer confused excuses. She remains calm and aelf-poa- sessed, and makes up in dignity what she may wont in decoration. The most sensible woman we ever saw was one who, when her husband took ns home qn a wash-day to look at his new honse, never made one word of apology for the confusion that existed, nor once begged ns not to look round—Carpet Rag. A Gdiltt Conscience—When Dr. Donne, after wards Dean of Bt. Paul’s, took possession of his first living, os he walked Into the churchyard he took up a skull thrown by the sexton out of the grave, and in it found a small headless nail, which he drew oat se cretly, and wrapt it in tbe corner of his handkerchief. He then asked the grave-digger if be knew whose the skull was. He replied that it was the skull of a per son who kept a spirit shop, and who, having gone to bed intoxicated, was found dead in bis bed iu tho morning. " Haa he a wife ?” askod the doctor. " Yea ” What character did she bear ?” " A very good one; only tbe neighbors reflect on hep, because she married the day after her husband’s burial.” A few days afterwards tbe doctor paid her a visit, if by accident: askod her some questions, and, at it, or what sickness her former husband died.

He first thoroughly eoske with a fine roso watering pot the entire space to bo eeeded— this is done at sunset, and the surface covered with mats all night, until late the next afternoon, when tho watering and covering is again repeated, and so on for threo successive days. By this time the soil is brought to a flue, friable, quite moist condition, when drills arc drawn, a watering given along each, the seed then sown and covered with the screened earth. Every good seed will grow without failure, and with no appearance ol the unevenness so common with dry weather sowing. Superficial watering, as is common ly practised at this season, is perfectly futile, and soaking the seed merely will be of little use. A very weak solution of guano, or of sapor-phosphate of lime, may be used for moisting the drills— Cultiva tor. l f of1lfn'^ ,l ir*“ ,a “ 0b •II w * ^ Attention or Vl own as .well ai their ebfi. medicine, Hotwnfci 'stiver Hits.

On Friday night, a stable on the river bank waa consumed. It was used by Pitts A Hatcher as a fodder house. On Saturday night,-an out bouse In the rear of Mr. J. B. Strappers was con sumed. On 8unday night, another on the river bank was set on fire and burnt. The object or the Incendi aries, it seems, is not to do damage so much as to call public attention away to a nurticuliar point so that they may curry out some hidden scheme.

Precocious—A lad, a day or two since, was call ed to the witness stand at the Common Pleas Court, whoso tender years raised doubts as to his competen cy as a witness, by not understanding the nature and obligations of an oath. The first question put was— "Are you a 3on of the plaintiff? ” The little fellow, crossing his legs, and deliberately putting about halt a paper of tobacco into his month, replied with the utmost coolness, " Well, so its reported.” He testi fied. In 1821, on our presage from Savannah to N. York, the crew and passengers were fishing for dolphin, when a shark bit off the hook. Three days after, the captain, with an instrument called "the grains.” struck one of many sharks that were about tho ship, and when lie was drawn on board, the broken hook wan taken ont of his mouth.

The testimony of the previous Commission is confirmed, and the non-existence ol Gardiner’s mines in the State of San Louis Potosi In established beyond the possibility of doubt. The mines as described by Gardiner were fouud in the State of Queretaro. By direction of the Secretary of War, Lieutenants Arnold and Mowry, of the 3d Artillery, have been detailed to command thn escort of the parties ap pointed for the exploration of a route for the Great Pacific Railroad. Lieut. Arnold commands the escort of Lieut. Saxton’s party, and will proceed to St. Ma ry’s village, at the foot of tho Rocky Mountains, and wait there for Gov.

Yellow Fever.—The Board of Health reported nine interments on yesterday, seven of which were of yellow fever. These, we learn, were from among the poorer class of our population—those who are with out the means of obtaining that attention which the patient requires. So far, we think thero is nothing in the appearance of the disease hero to create alarm, as it has assumed a mild and manageable form, and with the present cleanly condition of our city, it seems very unlikely that it will progress to any great ex- tout.—Mobile News, 20/ft.
