Aril rat of the Knoxville.
Tlil« new and elegant atcamcr, the fourth of tho
New Yoik and Savannah Steamship Line, arrived
here yesterday, under tho commend of Captain (’• 1>.
LrnLow, bringing u» Now York paper* to Wc.luct-
day afternoon, for tho prompt delivery of which
Turner Wandsll will please accept our ackuowl-
edgmenta. • !
We have not yet had an opportunity to visit this
new atcamship, but an we find in the New \nrk
paper*, of tho 14th, an account of her trial trip, in i
which is embodied a general description of her build,
finish, etc., we herewith embody it.as covering all we
might say. The trip took place on the 13th. The
account frem which wo quote says, a brighter day
could not have been picked out, and the company
on board was cheered by tho presence of a large mini :
berof ladies, to whom tho trip apj>eared to aflbrd
Influite delight. The ship was cast loose ubout ten j
o’clock, and steamed moderately down the river,
around Governor’s Island, and out as faros the light
ship, which point was reached about twelve o’clock,
when her bow was turned homewards, and the parly
was landed at two o’clock, at pier No. 3, North river,
after an exceedingly delightful and successful ex-
cursion.
The Knoxville was built by Mr. \l. II. 11 ebb, the
constructor of all the vessels of this Hue, and is a
sharp clipper-looking vessel. Her motion was
very easy, and by tho manner in which she
obeyed her helm must bo a vessel easy to liaudle.
Bbe is 220 feet long on dock, 23 feet broad, 22J deep,:
and of 1,400 tons burden.
The machinery was manufactured by Stillman, Al
len A Co., of the Novelty Works, who ulso built the
engiues of the three other steamers of the line. Like
the Auguara, (one of her consorts.) tho Knoxville is
fitted with an oscillating engine, u peculiar dcscrip-;
tion of engine tlmt is becoming popular among steam
ship owners, from the simplicity of its arrangcuieut
in contrast with the side lever and beam engine*, Its
consequent less liability to break, and the smaller |
space it occupies, without uny diminution of the ;
power. Throughout tho trip the machinery work- j
ed with the steadiness of clock-work, without being
once stopped to cool journals, or uny other cause.
Without any apparent pushing site made ltii turns
per minute, and would, no doubt, make more when
put on her mettle. The engine is called •• Allen's
Oscillator, and Is eighty-live inches in diameter, with
a stroke of eight feet.
The moddel of the Knoxville is very handsome.— '
Bbe has very sharp ends, but is very buoyant, ami
rides over the waves witli the ease and grace of a
dipper. Her interior fittings and decorations arc the
same as all her consorts. It is sufficient to say she is i
replete with every convenience and elegance that can
be found on board shin. The saloons and state rooms
arc lofty and light, and every apartment is well venti
lated.
Tho Knoxville is commanded by Captain C. 1>
. Ludlow, late of the Alnbuma. The chief engineer i
is Mr. Michael Smith. Mr. T. C. Chick, so well
known to travellers l>y this line while serving on the
Cherokee, Florida, and tho Augusta, is the steward. I
Tho vessels of the line comprise the Alabama, j
Captain Sciienck ; the Florida, Ca^tuiti Woouiil Ll.;
the Augusta, Captain Lyon ; and the Knoxville,
Captain Ludlow. They will immediately commence i
Bomi-weekly trips.
From the great popularity of her commander, and ;
the warm encomiums passed upon her performances .
by several eminent men on board, who are intimately |
connected with steam marine, the Knoxville will |
doubtless at once become a favorite with travellers
between New York and Savannah.

An Insurrection, at tho head of which is Gen. Juan

on tho Pacific coast. The pretext put forwurtl by the
insurgents Is, that tho forces lately sent out to rein

with orders to murder Alvarex, and all the patriots
or that section of the country ; and that a scheme
Imtl been formed by the Spaniards und the conserva

no man beyond the Potomac whose dt-l-i-thm »i- regie' 90
deeply, as that of Judge Bronson.’’
Judge Bronson, in whom the wliigs saw no merit!
at the time of his appointment to the New York col-
lectorship, became in their eyes a marvel of virtue
and patriotism when his Insulting dufluuco of the |
administration caused his removal. True they then
bad evidence, (not Ixtfore the country when he was j
conttnis'lutied) of his free soil tendencies in 18-H.— j
But that went lor nought with the Southern enemies
ol the President. Bronson they proclaimed a martyr
for his devotion to the South, and the South was to
avenge liis blood spilt in her belmll’. Bronson, in !
•titer words, was one of the heavy guns upon which
they relied to destroy the Democratic administration.
How sad to find it exploding in their hands!
And ISvekktt! Why they had been for months |
previous to bis Nebraska vote, nursing him for the j
presidency. The Charleston Courier and Savannah '
Republican and New Orleans Bulletin—big whig* and
little wliigs—wliigs proper and wliigs neutral—hud 1
all been offering incense to him. But now it turns
out tlmt he is no divinity nothing hut nn idol; or'
at any rate that after his vote against the Nebraska
bill it would be worse than folly to attempt to pruc-!
ticc any enohaiitmont among tho Southern people by ,
tbo use of his name.
Is it strange then, with the loss of both Everett
and Bronson wc should hear proclaimed tin.- •* Disso-

We yesterday tendered our sympathies to our!
friends ol tho Republican, lt was all that we can do,
and we did that most cheerfully. But now we have ,
something better than sympathy. Wo have good ti
dings for them. It is true Everett is lost—wc have ,
no hope of him—hut Branson is not. We offer
to our neighbors the following letter of his to Judge
Douglas, which proves that hejis not opposed to the !
Nebraska bill.
New York, Feb. 8,1854.
Dear Sir—Allow me to say that I have read with ■
great, satisfaction j your very able speech outlie Ne
braska Bill, now pending before the Senate, and 1
should liave said as much some time since if my en- j
gageinents had not prevented. You have placed the 1
measure on the broad und safe foundation of exclu
ding the slavery question from Congress, by referring
it, as well as other questions of self-government, to
the decision «»r the people (tf tho Territory. This ful
ly accords with the spirit of our institutions. If
Congress had never attempted to legislate concerning
the dome-tic policy of the Stales aud Territories, wo
should have oscaned tho slavery agitation, which at j
one time threatened tho stability of the Union. Tnu
sooner wo retrace our steps und allow other people |
to manage their own aflairs, tho better it were for the
country ; at least, such is my opinion.
While I fully approve the great principle which
you advocated, there was one point ou which I feared
the bill, which I have not seen in its present
form, failed to carry out your views. I thought an |
unqualified repeal of the Missouri act of 1820 might
have the effect of reviving the law applicable to the 1
territory when we acquired it from France ; and thus j
Nebraska might be made slave territory by tlieuction
of Congress, instead of leaving the question open |
and allowing the people of Nebraska to make their
own laws on that subject, as well as on all other sub-1
jeets. But the amendment which you submitted yes-!
terday has entirely obviated that objection, and the
measure now Blands on a ground wn'ch cannot be |
successfully impeached, though it may be assailed by |
those who Teel thcmw-lves bound in conscience to
keep the slavery question In motion.
There baa been h»hm» diversity of opinion about the
expediency of bringing the mutter b .-lore Congress ut
the present tlmo, hut since the question has been ,
made, I do not see how it can lie doubted, especially
by any Bound Democrat, that the measure ought to j
be adopted. Wo shall liave slavery agitation until'
that is done. But when Congress shall fully assert 1
that great principle of non-intervention in the local >
aflairs of the States and Territories, tho people will
be satisfied, agitators will lose their occupation, and
new strength will be imparted to tho pillars of the j
Union. Such are my views In few winds, and with
out troubling you further, I ntn, very truly and sin-
corely, yours, ' Guek.sk C. Bronson.

Judge BitoNrON has written another letter—wc re-
grot that we have not room for it. It was addressed

meats. We cannot forego tho pleasure of inserting a

Nt. i’utrlrk'* Day.
Yesterday, the anniversary of Ireland's l’atr> n
Saint, was celebrated by our Irish citizens and their
descendants in an unusually happy manner. At 10
o’lock. A. M., the Iri-li Union and IIiIk rn'.an Societies
forme I in procession on Bay-street, and escorted by
the Irish Jasper Greens, marched to tho Catholic i those fellows for sevemi days past, until, being Tuliy
Church where, with a large number of spectators,
th'-y attended Pontifieial High Mass, Bt. Hov. F. X.
Gauti.and officiating, assisted by Itev. Messrs.
O'Nkii.l, IIaiit and Kikiiv. Alter the reading of
'.lie gospel of the day, Itev. Mr. Kuan arose (in tho
ibsence of the orator selected for the occasion, who
.vas from unavoidable circumstances, prevented from
eachiuir ntir i-iiwi "'••• <l™llw..rc.l eloquent
aid patriotic address, after which the services of the
'imeh were resumed and concluded with pontifieial
--in-diction. Iv-eoited hack by the Greens, the
Moieties repaired to their re-pet live Halls aud wore
i-mi.-sed.
At 4 P. M., the Hibernian .Society re-usspinhlf-d at
icir Hall where a splendid dinner was prepared for
ucm by that Prince of Caterers, Mr. A. B. Lme.-
Vo need hardly wty that the members of the society
ml their invited guests, did ample justice to the ar-
ingemeiits and that with song and sentiment the
veiling passed oil'm a most happy and felicitous
1.inner.
A1 8 o'clock P. M.,the Irish Union Society, with a
-utii-flcd that they would never be contented to
the guards and util- r incidents of sol.tiering, lie call
ed the luttallion t -g-ilicr tc-tirday, and ad in-- d
them plainly ali i • |ui-uliy, declaring l.i- d- teiim
itation to have none but soldiers iu Ills command, and
concluded by exacting a proini-e from the “ men" ol
the forces, ’to pul an end to the un-oldier-liko prac
tice of growling whenever called upon to “luce the
music." He then ordered every man who would not
1 I'leiUe Mill-el; to tile OXpt (Iltloil, to leave our lilies,
alter giving them time to prepare for their journey.
It was deemed necessury that these men should ;
leave c- rtain firearms, some of which belonged to
the government, and a few others to individuals but 1
tin- order was resisted, and they attempted to get oil
with arms and munitions which tlo-y co .11 nut possi
bly have needed. A party of ten men was sent alter
them, and alter some insolence on tin ir pail and one
bloody head (superinduced by a clubU-; riiie iu llie
hands of one of our men,) we recovered the arms and
let them go on tln*ir way. They had stalled in si.eh
haste as to have forgotten to take previsions, and
when followed and compelled by our small detach-1

Toiiaoo. Jan. 21th, 1854.
Th" present is rather an anxious time lor tlie in
habitants of poor Tobago. Her Majesty’* troop* have
been withdriwn Irinn this nnd other small Islands,
without nlioving siifiirieut time to prepare for so im
portant a change. The people have been excited by
mischievous suggestion* and diabolical threats, nnd
evciy one has found it prudent to live with arms
prepared fot the wm>t. On Saturday night last,
within a few hours ol the time fixed for its perpetra
tion, ii most fiendish plot was discovered, and the ring
leader ruptured. It wa- arranged that • ‘helmemorn
ing Scarb»iough wa* to lie made a* hot n* hell." It
was expected that tlie while inhabitant* of the Island,
a* oil a Inrim r 0CCH«|"!I, Would all flock to town, to
assist in pulling nut the fire, Ac., and then, in the
crowd and confusion, they were to be assassinated.
A wo:>c fate was reserved for their wives. One Joe
Aithu- was the contriver and leader of this conspi
racy. The confederate* were almost all Lydians.—
The examinations are not yut concluded, mid the
disclosure* are so horrible that the public mind is in
a fever of excitement. I have the nleasuut assurance
that I am particularly doomed.— Jl’u.*/i. Star,

Mr. Editor—That the commerce of Western Afri
ca i.* iisuining some importance in the judgment of
lviglaml, may be reasonably interred from thciact that
sue has e-t.ibb-hed a monthly line of steamers to tlmt
oast, connecting with Liberia. This line is compos-
id of four steamship*, viz: The Forerunner of 400
tun*. Faith of *100 tun*, Hope of 000 tun.*, and Char
ity nf Inoo tuns. Commander Rudd, U. S. N’., in a
letter dated frigate ( (institution, August 2til!i, 1853,
off Monrovia, says ol the steamer*—" they are doing
a first rate business, running lull of'freight’both wav-,
a:ni of rnursc rutting up our trade very miieli. and I
believe in two years they will get ail ol it! Sh am is
tlie only thing un this coast. Sail vessels are behind
tlie age."
When will our Government look a little after its in

Riv.and Fear Sir:— I am now in Western Afri
ca, Liberia, tow n of Monrovia. We had a very pleas
ant passilge out ill the I.-la do Cuba, ('apt. A. Miller,
a v.-iy good man and an excellent "Dicer. All arrived
safe—all well. We held worship all the time, ami had
good order tliroiignout the passage. 1 never heard
tin; captain speak linr-h, or swear, nr any bad word
daring tho passage. When wc arrived we were re
ceived by the first people of the town with nil friend
ship and kindness. I wa* very much disappointed,
hut agreeably so, as 1 found all tilings so miieli better
than what I expected. I can say for a truth, that 1
was never belter treated in any part world, though 1
have travelled a great deal previous to this voyage.
The colored people in the United States arc greatly
misled, nnd are very blind in regard to Lilieria. It is
about to be one of tin* greale-t I ^publics in the world.

The churches arc in a nourishing condition, and
tin y arc gathering in the natives. Under the laws and

of the earth »ith the Ides-ings of the Lord. As to Mr.
Augu-tus Washington, he and Ins family are in the
b*‘-t <>f company, lie can make trom tei) to fifteen

make an independent living in a few years. I would

stated, were *o carried away by the excitement of
Walker's address, that they scarcely knew the ell'cct
[ of the solemn oath they were taking.
Some of those who took the outli nailer tho influence
of tills excitement, left camp notwithstanding, and
came up in the Golden Gate. Others of the party
! paraded, principally those in the rear ranks, belonging
j to David-on'* company, refused to raise their hands
or take the oath. Walker, thereupon, much excited,

Ulli. \\’m. Smith O'Bkikn—The coafe*»or of litieriv May I proclaimed that all such were at liberty to leave. Tlie
is countrymen profit by hi* noble example of mnniy firm I men tln n broke ranks, nnd an order wa* at once is*
fortitude and unfllnehinif patriotism undur misfortune; j sued through the captains of the companies, reqilir*
•(.- n—t..ru. .... ing all who intended to leave to do so in two hours.
Within the time required, about twenty-six of David
son's company, who were afterward* joined by five of
the Old Guard and fifteen from other companies, mu-1
king forty-six in all, started off on foot from Camp '
McGIbbon, with uo rations except a little boiled corn
in their pocket*. They took with them their rifle*.'
which belonged to them individually, they having
purchased them with theirown funds in San Francisco.
I) iiiglas* either received order* or took the respon-,
sibillty himself, to charge with hi* company upon .
those retiring, nnd compel them to leave their arms
behind. Hi* company refused to obey, whereupon
Douglass drew hi* revolver nui! threatened to lire on
tho mutineer* if they did not give up their rifle*.— j
Many of them drew their revolvers and dared him to
fire. The guard of the day, consisting exclusively of j
Walker'* first men, were ordered out under arms, to i
fire ou the retiring puity, not a hundred steps off.—j
Those leaving had just before been shaking hands ;
with their comrade*, and bidding them " good live."
When tlie order to fire wa* given, Corporal Mullane I
was the first to declare that he would not shoot down I
friend* with whom he had Just shaken hand*. Ser
geant Bastrow also refaaed. Thereupon the Guard I
.Uni-Inc Intercut* of tlie United .State*.
The importance of tlie murine interest* or tlie Uni
ted State*, their already rapid expansion and im
mense prospective increase, has widely directed pub
lic opinion to the cure of evils every day becoming
apparent, and the effort lias also been made in vari
ous influential commercial quarters to attract the at
tention of Congress to the subject. Recently, by in-
vitationof the Marine Society of Boston, Mr. R. B.
Forbes, whose connection with nnd experience in all
that r lutes to marine interest*, gives weight to his
observations nnd conclusions, delivered a lecture on
the subject, wliich drew together a large representa
tion of the commercial and shipping men of Boston.
He referred to the fact that ships are constantly obli
ged to leave our port* with an inadequate or inexpe
rienced supply of bands, and represented the condi
tion of our mercantile marine us anything but pros
perous, owing to thu increasing scarcity of good Ame
rican seamen.
Thi* scarcity of American seamen he attributed
partly to the small inducements which are offered for
the increase ol thi* important class. But higher wa
ges, better fare and more comfortable quuitcrs arc
not alone sufficient to rai-e up a supply equal to tlie
demand. Measure* should be taken to Iraiu boys for
n * '‘liman's life. Of several methods proposed, the
!• oturer gave the preference to the two following: 1.
The government might offer a bonus to the ship-own
er for every lad carried out to sea for purposes of in
struction. Such a step would be justified by the ben
efit which all classes nf tho community would de
rive from a well trained marine. 2. Floating schools
might Ire established in every seaport,nnd placed un-
d"r charge of experienced ollicers, by whom boys
might Ire instructed in tho ordinary duti-s required
of seamen.
Mr. Forbes advocated the repeal of tho law which
requires two-thirds of every crew to consist of Amer
ican citizens, ou tho ground that so large a propor
tion cannot be obtained, nnd.(‘.on*equeiitlv many for
eigner* are furnished with certificates ol citizenship
who have no title to them, whereby much fraud and
perjury are habitually perpetrated.
It wa* also recommended, that seamen bo freed
from the hospital tax of twenty cents per month,and
that some of the surplus revenuo of the government
be applied to the suppertof the institutions designed
for their benefit.—Balt. American.

Bay Open !—First Arrival—The waim shower*
of the past day or two have caused the ice to rapidly
di-appciir.iiudut the present writing (Thursday mor- j
ning) there is no obstruction in the bay. The steam- :
er America fired up on Wcdnoday evening at her
winter quarters, and came alongside the wharf pre
paratory to fitting out.
Capt. J. Bcnugraiid, of the propeller Pougessett, is
again in " our midst,’ 1 having spent tlie winter rusti- |
eating out west.
Workingmen are engaged in fitting nut the propel-
k-rs Owego and I'nngossett, preparatory to receiving j
freight. The weather ha* lucn mild and spring like i
for several days, causing the ice in the river to rapid- !
ly disappear.
Lord Raglan.—The commander of the British *
army, on il* way to Constantinople, is better known i
in the military history of Knelund os Lord Fitzrny i
Somerset, koii of tlie filth Duke of Beaufort, by the ,
daughter of lion. Admiral Bascawen. He was*born !
in 1788, and is now in hi* flfitb year. He lias lieen \
fifty years in military hoi vice, lie was aid de-camp
and military secretary of the Duke of Wellington, |
and distinguished bim.-ell at Fuentes d'Onorc, Ifada- j
jos.S.ilamafua, Yittoria, and other leading buttles in '
the Peninsula. He also served in Flanders', and iu
the battle ot Waterloo lie lost an arm.
The title of Lord Raglan is a Into creation—an |
early ancestor of the present lord was great grand |
*on of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, nnd the ,
name of Haglau is found about three centuries ago. j
(say 15116) when Sir Charles Somerset married the j
only daughter und heirc«* of William Herbert, Karl j
"I Huntington, and he was created Baron Herbert of i
Raglan. Hence llie present title of Lord Raglan.—I

I What is Virtue?—To a student who put thi* j
question to the late Dr. Archibald Alexander, Ids j
simple and admirable reply was. •• Virtue consists ol I
our duty iu the several relati uw that we sustain, in

A Nut fob Wine and Hkek Drinkers.—It won re-!
centjy testified Udore a Cincinnati court that bul
lock'.* blood was in almost universal use among the I
wine merchants of that city, especially when they 1
wi.'lied to make sweet wine. A daily paper in that
city also stated a* a fact, that the brewers use rotten
meat to improve the quality ol their beer.
