The First Interview with tl»e Japanese. • An officer of the Japanese expedition sends home a long acoonnt of the visit to tbo harbor ot Jeddo. Tbe first interview in tho cabin of tho Amorlcan ves sel with tho Japaneso authorities is minutely describ- <led: After being seated a moment, Mr.Mandarian arose, 1 made a salaam a la Japanese, and then extending bis hand, we shook hands; then seated ourselves, using Mr. Postman as interpreter, as the Japaneso interpre ter spoke Dutch fluently. I thus opened: “ Tell the Lieutenant Governor (for such was tho mandorian) that I am the aid of our chief, tho Admiral, aud am instructed to speak for him. Wo have come here on afirlendly mission, with friendly intentions, to deliv er a letter from the President ol the United States to your sovereign, the Emperor of Japan: that the let ter Is ready for delivery by nine o’clock to-morrow, to any mandorian sufficiently high to receive it.” To this was replied: “ It must bo roforred to higher pow ers to know who can receive tbe letter.” 1 then ask ed : 44 How long will it take to givo us an answer? ” " They could not tell,” I said: “ I think tho sooner tho better, as wo are anxious to be oil.” Tho reply was j 44 I do not think it will take long; ” and it was then understood that in tho morning a nmudarin would be off to receive the letter. I then emphatically said: 44 This ship has aboard the chief—there Is hu pennant. All messages-from shore most come hero By a high mandarin. No boats must go to tho other ships; tucir commanders have orders not to permit intercourse ; they have no right to think and mast obey. We iusist that no boats shall hang aronnd our vessels to watch them.” This was not palatable. They said “ It is Japanese cus tom, low, and we must carry them oat.” 8aya I :— 44 Tell him, sir, that wo too have our customs, and with men of war one of the laws is, that no boat is allowed to come within a certain range.” There was no positive consent giveu just then os to what they would do ; they evaded it by asking questions.— “ Where are you from?” 44 From the United States of America.” " Yes ; but what part, Washington. New York, Boston ?” My surprise was so goat that I smiled, and told him, “some from Washington, some from New York, all parts; that the President of the United States lived in Washington.” •' Wbat Is TuamuaiviNO—By a proclamation of Governor Jobkmm, which will bo found In ourUauaofthli morning, It will bo noon that Thursday, the 24th Inst., U set apart as a day of publlo thanksgiving and prate.

Loss 410,000. From the Charleston Mercury. The Operation of the Sub-Trciuary. Tho experience of the present season is of unusual interest, as affording tho first completo illustration of tho manner in which the Independent Treasury affects great and general speculative movements in com merce. No one could have observed tho ever accumu lating projects of expenditure, tho multiplication of Batiks, tho expansion of trade in its areu, and the still greater expansion of it in tho amount of exchanges through long established channels, during tho last two years, without being convinced that there were work ing together most of the elements of a prodigious speculation, which threatened a corresponding revul sion. Tho food of excitement, which in 1830 made banks, merchants, agriculturists and idlers, all crazy with the idea of gathering fortuues out of the bubbles of hope, was far Teas than in the last two years. The real wealth to serve os the basis of tho imaginary, was far less then than now. Tho sources of increase wore far less abundant. There was then no California pouring its annual seventy millions of gold into the lap of our Atlantic trade. The stock of the precious metals in tho country was small in comparison, and the profits from successful improvements still smaller. Why is it, then, that speculative impulses, equully blind, and urgod on by more various aud vastly more powerful forces, have been nearly harmless tins year, while in 1837 they covered tho whole country with commercial wrecks, and prostrated our entire bank ing system? There is but one answer to bs given. In tho for mer period the moneys in the United States Treasury went into the banks and added so much to tho basis of speculation ; in the latter, these moneys are with drawn, not form the paper circulation, but from the specie basis of the currency. Ami this action 1ms not been sudden and cxcontric, but it commenced with the speculative movement, has followed it every step, growing as it grew and correcting with an irro- Bistablo power the excesses to which it was impelled. It is the independent Treasury which bus saved the Laurouc*, Miller and Clark. Onlks Judiciary—Moure. 0N ttiwm«.-Meun. Clark, Miller, Doan, Hull and Hill.

In a recent speech in New York, Mr. in his navy; and also that he could see for hiniBelf Dix, late Sub-Treasurer, made tho following striking that we had four ships : that we had others in those • remarks on this subject: waters. *• When will the others come ?” “ I don’t I In May last, the specie under tbo key of tho nssist- know, it depends upon tbe answer to tho letter.”— ! ant treasurer ol New York,* was about nix and throe- 4 * What are the contents of the letter?” “Tell him, quarter millions ; on tho 23d September it had risen sir, that the letter is from the President to tho Era- to ten millions and a quarter: and on tho 5th No vein- peror of Japan, and it would be most indelicate In me ' ber it had subsided to six and a half millions. Tho to inqnro into its contents.” Tills rebuke was rcceiy- : salutary influence of the sub-treasury is thus ex- ed in an apologetic mauner, and this questioning plained: dropped. I then again alluded to the boats which “ From May to September there wns a prevalent were still clustering arouud our ship and the other bias to over-action in almost all business, legitimate ships; told them that it was absolutely noccssary and illegitimate—in trade, banking,stock-jobbing nnd that they should bo kept off, that this must bo done, land speculation-under tho impulse given to com- “ We shall be sorry, with our kind and friendly feel ings to you, to do you any harm, or to come into col lision with yon; but, ir yon do not order your boats off, we shall fire into them and drive them off. Our boats are now armed and ready, and we cannot allow you more than fifteen minutes to give your orders and to keep them off. At the end of that tlmo you must suffer. Mr. Mandarin went out. told this to tho boats, sent word to the other boats, and came in. 44 Now, 1 must have an answer. What havo you decided about the boats ?” ‘‘I have ordered them off from all the ships, aud with orders only to communicate with this.” 44 Yea, from all the ships ; and, if any come around yon, send word to tho Governor, and he will punish them." Thus was this point, never be fore yielded, conceded. After a few more remarks, I bowed Mr. Mandarin off. and away bo went on shore taking the boats off with him. At a subsequent interview the Mandarin again excused himself from taking the letter, and it was only on a threat of the American commander to go np to the town of Oraganon,and deliver the letter himself, that his wishes were conceded to and an In terview on shore with commissioners from the Em peror took place. Tho writer says: "My opinion is,that for tlieso thirty-aix hours, (and more particularly for these Bix,) the Japanese hesitated whether or not they should at once resist, and try with os the fortunes of war.

New York Newspapers. The New York Herald and tho Nun, long competi tors in the circulation of large daily editions, are in stituting comparisons to Bhow which ia the greatest concern. The Herald claims a circulation or103,000 copies per week, divided among its seven morning, twelve evening, and one weekly, editions; being an averago of 5,150 copies for each edition. On tho other side, the Nun boasts of a circulation of 330,000 daily copies per week, which divided among six edi tions, give an average of 55,000 copies each ; that is, for the Herald's edition of 6,100 copies, tho Sun cir culates 55,000 copies, or nearly eleven copies of the Nun, to one of the Herald. The Nun is of tho opinion that tbe Herald is not a paying speculation at present. A year or more ago, an unsuccessful effort was mado to sell the Herald for $200,000; and now wo observe a new dodge to raise half that sum, tbe Herald to be pledged, or ac cepted, as security for one-half the amount. It seems a rather doubtful operation in tho present condition ol the money market. A Contrast* Mehemed Pacha, tho Governor of Adrianople, and late Tarklsh Ambassador to England, called together tbe principal men of ail sects in the city, and than ad dressed them: 41 Oar creed is different; bat if, in obeying the law, we pray in the mosque, the Christians in the church, ana the Jews in tho synagogue, we are not the less all the foithfnl subjects of the Saltan ; wo are, there fore, brothers, and we ought to lovo each other as such," How different Is the following from a late Russian proclamation: 44 Russia Is called upon to annihilate Paganism, and whoever would atop her in that sacred mission will be annihilated Uko tho Pagans themselves Long life to the Goar of Russia 1 Long u/ e to\ the Goaof Russia!" The Turk, with snch sentiments as Vehemed ex presses, displays a superiority far above many who profoss ths greatest goodness and enlightenment. Let Turkey be led by snoh sentiments through her struggles, and tbe day may oomo when her peopio will drink at every stream or progress, and step forth Into a higher rank among the nationa<—Chicago Prut. Tennessee Cotton Crop* The Nashville (Tenn.) Whig,of the8th Inst, says: It is now quite certain that tbe cotton crop has sus tained serious Injnry from tho late frosts. We know, from reliable information, that each is thocaso in this State. Our accounts from Middle and West Tonnes- see all agree that In tbe fresh and in the rich bottom lands the top crop of bells bavo been so bitten as ef fectually to prevent their maturing. They bavo ia fact, to a very great extent, bocomo sodden, and are rotting on tbe stalk. Tho same is true in regard to the plant in Georgia and Booth Carolina, and we may add, In Mississippi, as far as we have beard. In the Memphis Appeal we find a letter from Yazoo City, whienstates that the frost of tbs 24th nit., was fo|. lowed by odd, heavy rains, and that tbe destruction of tbe top crop of bolls, the main reliance of the planters In that section, has been vtry great. We ononrin opinion with tbe Appeal, that there can be morcial enterprise. Thu treasury bnlnuco ran up to more than ten millions. This rapid accumulation of coin, and tho enormous sum of ten millions thus withdrawn from the reach of operators, checked in a very salutary manner tho general tendency to over action. *' Speculators could not command tho money t':cy required to carry on and extend their transactions. Merchants were compelled to limit their orders for forergn goods. Debtor banks, pressed for balances, were obliged to contract their discounts ; and as the flood of Bpocid poured into the sub-treasury, tho chan nels from which it was drawn wero nearly exhausted, and some of the bolder adventurers were left high and dry by the receding tide. This was the first good influence of the sub-treasury system, gradually draw ing specie into its own vaults as the banks extended their operations, and stimulated the spirit of enter prise and speculation, nnd checking the tendency to excess by a law as certain as thoso which govern the materia! world. “ The second good influence of tho system,” says Dr. Dix, “was as salutary as the fi rat, nnd was tlio result of the same infallible law. This accumulation of ten millions of coin in the sub-treasury here made money scarce and valuable ; most stocks fell in price and the interest paid for the uso of money rose rapid ly nnd to enormous rates, fn ail such cases holders of stocks which maintain their prices are tempted to sell lor tho purposo of realizing the higher profits of other investments. This was the case with the stocks of the United States. The government had offered a high preminm for them. Tho holders surrendered them, and took the surplus coin in tho treasury in ex change. 44 By this operation, then, three millions seven hun dred thousand dollars were drawn out of the sub-trea sury in six weeks, and thrown into Wall street to re lievo the pressure caused by preceding excesses in speculation and commercial ndventure. It is, indeed the only relief Wall street lias had ; tho only relief it possibly could have bad—and it has saved us from a reaction which, without it. would havo been scarcely less severe than that of 1837.” The Sandwich Islands Question.—The annexa tion movement in the Sandwich Islands, whicli has rcceutly become of importance, lias, so far, met no sign of encouragement or notice from the Government of the Uifltcd States, wo lmvo every reason tobcliove. it is understood in diplomatic circles here, that the representatives (diplomatic) of tho Governments of England and France have united in efforts, indirectly, to put down or embarrass the annexationists. So fur. no credit is given in Washington to tho rumors saying that Russfa is preparing also to interfere in the mat ter. It will bo recollected that at the date of our ac quisition of California, Russia possessed a considera ble commercial establishment and settlement in Bod ega bay, (Upper California,) from which she prompt ly retired, as we took possession of tho country ; re linquishing her leoso without making her retirement a subject of even correspondence between her foreign office and ours. Under tlieso circumstances, it is not thought in Washington that she is inclined to meddle with tho Sandwich Islands question, which would be quite foreign to her usual policy with reference to such affairs in distant quarters of tho globe.— Wash-r inglon Star, lOfft. The Tidal Theory Explained—A ''scientific writer” in tho Washington Union thus disposes of tho moon theory in causing tho tides of the ocean: If there are such deep wido caverns, many miles in length, and somo of them of unknown extent, on the dry portions of tbo earth’s surface, and if there are doubtless other caverns quite as oxtensivo in tbe submerged mountains, plains and valleys of tho ocean, it is our belief that there are, and bonce that in these huge recesses of tho oceanio globe are tho source of tho rise and fall of the tides. Into and out of the internal depths of tho oceans tho waters are regularly flowing as tho earth regularly revolves, and neither tho moon nor the Btars, nor too sun, nor the winds, nor tho clouds, can produco any sensible effect upon them. Every six years, by law, there is are-valuation o the real estate of Ohio for taxation. Tho last vain a tlon was In 1847, when the entire taxable property of tij® “fofoat castavalues, amounted to about$475,000,- 000. Wo learn that tho returns for tho new valua tion are nearly complete, and tho Auditor ol Stato estimates that they will vary bnt sliglitly from $800,- 000.000 J showing on increaso of taxable* in six years ol $325,000,000, or nearly 70 per cent.

It would also appear that ufi ofler has been made to the French planters, by one o fie first houses in London, to procure them a supply of laborers from Madeira. Upon those soveral schemes and their practicability ns regards Martinique, tho editor of La France o'Outre Mer, has some excellent remarks; and ho adverts with peculiar satisfaction to tho moderate terms proposed to our own Legisla ture by Captain McLean. Another important advantage of tlio French islands, and of which tlioy are justly proud.is tho steam com munication established among them lor local purposes. Tho St. Pierre nnd St. Louis have been for some time in active employment, nnd a third steamer, called the Madlninn, recently built at Nantes, is soon expected out. Wo also find mention of mi insurance company about to bo established in Paris, with tlio title of L'Egidc de lu Province, chiefly with a viow to colo nial operations. It is not stated whence the African immigrants are to lie obtained, nor do wc think that snch immi grants nro to be Imd in any number, or to any extent, except upon Mr Hume’s plan of purchasing slaves in Africa, and sending them as free laborers to tho isl ands iu question. r,s v ' -^aissEs 1 "' , " 1 ■ 1 ■■ tj, a.

Of one thing, however, wo may bo sure, tho Democratic dlsscn- tlons will all bo harmonized boforo they bring forward their candidate for a trial of strength.

The Aspinwnll Courier of tho latest date states tlmt the health of tlio Isthmus remains very good, notwithstanding tho near approach of the chango iu tho season. Tho Panama Star of the 2i)th of October, say.., One of tlio most serious and unwarrantable outra ges thnt has yet couio under our notice, is that perpe trated by the Judge at Cruces, Guillermo Arroyo, on the person of Mr. Gillett, tlio superintendent appoint ed by the railway company, to' carry ou tho repairs of tho Cruces road. It appears that Col. Totten, tho Superintendent of tbo railroad, authorized by Mr. Gillett to pay tho la borers eight dimes per day, nnd to inform those who wished to join the railroad after the Cruces road was finished thnt, on doing so, they would bo paid four dimes per day extra. At first, tlio men were perfect ly satisfied with the arrangement, but tlio Cruces Judge having heard of the uffuir, thought I10 conhl make a good speculation out of it aud told the men that if they would nay him one dollar each, lie would insist upon Mr. Gillett’s paying them 12 dimes daily, whether they joined the railroad or not. To this the laborers consented, and, without any further grounds for arrest, the Judge went out with a company of soldiers, a dzed Mr. Gillett, dragged him like a crim- rations of the road will not ho impeded, as they expect to run again in the morning. Yours, respectfully, McC. Millbimikviux. Nov. 12th, 1853. In Senate—There was very littto business of Interest in tho Semite to-day. Most of the bills introduced wero of local character, and we deem it unnecewary to report, them. The election for United States Senator will take i place on Friday next, tho 18th lust., and we will advise you of tho result immediately. A bill was read the drat time, to havo the Judges of the , Supreme Court elected by the peopio. There wan a bill Introduced and read tho scond time, to havo tho compensation of the members of the General As- aenibly fixed, and to have it cut down to ono half,after the expiration of tho flat fifty days of tho aossioa of the Leg- isltilure. A motion was carried, to add Mr. Jones, of liberty, to the sjioeial Committee on newCounticH; tho Senators from Butts and Richmond to the Committee on tho Judiciary ; nnd tho Senator from Oglotliorpo to tho Committee on Privileges nnd Elections. It wan resolved, that bills to chango tho times of holding tho Superior Courts, should bo referred to a Committee ol three. Mr. Jones, of Liberty, introduced a resolution, which wns agreed to—to admit members of Congress and Judges of tho Supremo and Superior Courts, to tlio privilege of a place upon tho floor of the Senate, which was amended by adding, termer Presidents of ths Senate and Speakers of the House of Representatives. In the House—Mr. Harrison, of Chatham, introduced a bill to niter and amend un act, authorizing tlio establish- im-nt of a Littery, for the purpose of raising funds for building a monument to Greene and Pulaski, In tho city of Savannah. A bill was introduced by Mr. Smith, of Jasper, to Incor porate the Eatontmfomd Monticolio Railroad.

Roth branches of the Legislature then adjourned till ten o’clock on Monday morning. Nothing of Interest has occurred since our last tetter was mailed. Yours, respectfully, McC. Correspondence of the Savannah Dally Georgian. Kiev West, Nov. 8,1853. We havo nono other than marine news to record by this evening's boat, and that is more voluminous than interest ing. You will perceive that the wrecking business is slow ly Improving, and that more activity prevails among the shipping. Wo are rapidly approaching the 44 good wrecking weather," and shall goon be ablo to diah you up a bill of fare of our reef productions. For a week wo havo had heavy tbreathing weather, and gales from the North-east. Vessels in theGulf bound west ward would do well to run in cloao to the land, and If ac quainted, come to anchor under its lee—a tremendous sea is running in the stream, and if this weather continues, we may reasonably expect vessels to reach this port in distress. In this connection wo might with proprity, mention for tho bonoflt of thoso who may be disabled by the storms of the Gulf during tho winter, that repairs can be more thororghly and economically effected at this port than at Havana or Nassau. Ifspars are wanted they can be ob tained for less cost than evon at Mobile. A late wreck of spars, intended for tho French Nary, has been sold in this city, and at prices for below the original cost upon ship- board, and they will be furnished to vessels of all classes at very resonable rates. In our shippingstores are found every variety of articles necessary for outfits. Naval stores are abundant, and labor is the same as in our Southern porta. A Marine Railway ofsize and capacity soffleient to take up vessels of 600 tons, baa lately boen completed at a great cost, and has been In great request since Onishod. That we havo means ample and sufficient to repair ships, cannot be doubted when the announcement ia made that an enterprising Qrm or this city have upon the stocks, and nearly ready for launching, a first class Tilot Doat of 180 tons burden, and are now making the necessary arrange ments to lay tho keel of a clippor ship of 1000 tons. There is no reason why wo should not produce as well as destroy ships. We have within our State forests of thebest ship-timber that the world produces : Live oak, Cedar, Yel low Fine, Dog-wood, Hono-wocd. Mahogany, Martlo, Lignum- vitae, and other varieties. We have ship carpenters who are able to shape and put together in a masterly manner, beautiful pilots boats as our country can boast, and they do not fear to try their bands at a clipper ship. But we will not anticipate, but await and let the offspring of their bands show to tbe world wbat 8outbera InstituUbas and Southern Industry can accomplish. Kiun mm tsitTiii Oet,fl.—DarkB.H.

Mr. Gillett was thus confined for some days, when ho was ut length released on giving security, by thu intercession of his friends, to appear again in a few days. Immediately on his release, Mr. Gillett lmd tho necessary affidavits taken, and came over to this city with a letter from tlio railroad superintendent to the Governor of the province, in order to seek re dress. The result of this interview with this official wo have not yet board, but presume tbo worthy Judge will at once be turned out of office. The passengers arrived ut Aspinwall by tho British mailstcunudiip Lima, report tlmt they saw the bark Emma on lire in tho harbor of l’uita, on the 14th Oc tober. When they arrived there, sho had already burned to tlio water's edgo. having on board 64G bbla. oil, ail of which were a total loss. Tho Panama Star furnishes tho following intelli gence from Bogota: The nows from the capital is of littlo interest be- ; yond what refers to the elections. The conservative party are in a large majority. We observe a confirmation of our statement, a few days since, that Scnor Bartolomo Calve, .Spanish editor of tlio Pauatna Star, has been elected Governor of Car- thagena, having obtained 5,031 votes. Considerable disturbance lmd been created ntsomoof the elections, tin: electoral judges having smuggled votes into the urn, before it was opened to receive to regular votes. Beyond this, we find nothing of interest in our files. Corrcspomlenno of tho Commercial Advertiser. Valparaiso, September 30,1853. Hon. B.ilie Vcylon, United Stulea Minister, sailed on tho 25th inst. for San Francisco. Win. Dana, Esq., lato consul at tills port, sailed at tlio same time. They went iu the clipper ship Mischief. Mr. Peyton’s rela tions with tills Government have not been very ami cable of late. Tlio Minister of Foreign Affairs in iiis last report speaks Imrshly of our diplomatic relations; and I think gives an unfair representation of the case. Gov. Reuben Wood, of Ohio, is installed in his of fice as consul. The income of this office has been great ly overrated. It has been thought to yield $20,0(10 per annum, whereas it is doubtful whether it really gives $0,000; and since tho expenses of living in this city are very high, no one can lay up much from it. In oue of tho interior towns there has arisen a dis pute between the curate, who is represented as a worthless man, and the local Governor of the town or department. In consequence tho Archbishop has laid the town under interdiction ; ordered the ceme tery to bo closed, so that tho dead have lain unburied; anu deprived the people of all other religious ordi nances in the meantime. It is thought tbo Govern ment will yield to tho demands of tho Church, re placing the curate, and ejecting the Governor. A part of the cargo of tho American clipper ship Mischief, consisting of clothing, boots, auu Indian rubber goods, and tho Amcricansuip Adeluide was ad vertised to be sold yesterday. Tbo state of this country is tranquil now, and it will probably continue so for threo years—tlio term of the present administration. Montt is now Presi dent nnd there is no organized opposition. Buiness, who commanded ia tnc decLsive battle in tho civil war of 1851, aud by victory sustained the then tottering government, has lately asked to bo in demnified by tlio government for losses on his prop erty, near the scene of war. His estate was robbed of cattlo, and great injury was otherwise done to it.— lie claims $30,000 indemnity. The government lias refused, but recommends Congress to make him a grant of $50,000 for bis Rcrviccs in 1851. This is gen erally disapproved. Buiness is very rich already. The winter is now at an end. Tho promise of tho whent crop in the south is said to be excellent. The prico of Flour is still very high, ruling from $8i to $94 tbo bag of 2 cwt. The West Indies.—We havo received a file of the Morning Journal of Kingston, Jamaica, from tbo 14th to tho 27th of October, both Inclusive. Tho Jamaica House of Assembly was in session. Tbe addresses ol tho Board of Council and the Assembly to tho new Governor, Sir Henry, Barkly, and his replies, are pub lished, but we find little in tlieso documents excent vague remarks about retrenchment, and a grateful acknowledgment of tho proposition of the Homo Gov ernment to loan the colony $50,000. Tbe Houao of Assembly say in the conrso of their address s 4 * Agreeing with your Excellency in-the belief that no human institution is perfect, but that in its practi cal working tho constitution of Great Britain may bo supposed to arrive as nearly at perfection as tbo hu man Intellect Could devlso, wo venture to observe to your Excellency, that constitutions and formB of gov ernment, in order to their harmonious aud beneficial operation, should be adapted to tho social and intel lectual condition or tho people, for whose political wants they are intended. Whether the time bus yet arrived \yhen the form of government, which has for so many years ministered to the liberties of tho Brit ish people, can with safety be adopted in this colony, is a question for very grave and serious consideration which we can assure your Excellency it shall receive at our bands.” Tho Boyal Mail Company’s steamer.

Maury, because of hi* views respecting the Colonization of the Amazon. He is set down among tiie American nnnoxers and covetcrs of other peoples’ soil and territory. The editor has been reviewing tiie proceedings of tho Memphis Convention, and this is the cause of the onslaught. The Memphis resolution, to which the Diario particularly objects, is the following: Resolved, That the interests of commerce, tlio cause of civilization and the mandates of High Hea ven, require the Atlantic slopes of South America to be subdued and replenished. Report ok the Secretary ok the Navy.—A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Amer ican, says : Tlio estimates for tlio expenses of the Navy Depart ment for the next fiscal year have been prepared, und I learn that tiiey do not difler much from thoso of last year, notwithstanding tlio Secretary will recommend a very considerable increase of the steam navy. This results from tiie fact that government has on hand a very large proportion of thu material required for ship-building, ami tlmt the estimates ofnecessarycx- E cnditurcs have been considerably reduced In many ranches of tiie service. The Secretary will recommend to Congress the es tablishment of a number of government mechanic shops, where machinery for our national vessels can be prepared and thoroughly tested before being put into tiie ships, as is tlio practice in tiie English navy. A Black Cataolooce.—To-day, the Court of Oyer and Terminer ypens with one of the heaviest catalogues of murder cases which was ever perhaps placed before a criminal court in this or any other country. It includes eighteen persons in custody to be tried for perpetrating or participating in twelve murders, anil tjvo other persons charged in other ca ses are yet at large. Iu addition we have a woman indicted for arson, and awaiting her trial at the pre sent term. Tiie oldest practitioners ut tlio Bar say, that in all their experience no such calendar was ever brought up at one term—not even at tlio Special Conuuissiutis in England and Ireland. Tho Athens Banner of the 10th inst., says The Synod of Georgia adjourned lust Saturduy. Tlio de liberations of the body were marked by a spirit of harmony and brotherly feeling.

The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of the Synod, of Geor gia lie presented to the Railroad Companies who af forded facilities to tiie members of their body, in at tending their present meeting. A Relic.—A young lady yesterday found in our streets a pocket knife, which appeared to have lain in the dirt for years, so completely was it covered with rust. But on ariose examination tho following words were found neatly engraved on ono side " Henry Clay’s Kuife,” anu on the other side 44 John M.

The weather is truly very fine, and our farmers are taking advantage or it in seeding wheat and rye, and gathering in their corn and other autumnal crops. The corn crop in this section is very large. Wo should not bout all surprised if it sold this season as low as 25 cents a bushel at this point, aud lower where it is more inconvenient for transportation to market.— Cluitanooga Gazette, 8th.
