By the schooner Bntith Quten, we have tiles of tii<* Nassau Guardian to Oct. 24th. The news is of little interest. In its issue of the Uth, that paper says: Tno steamer “Governor Dudley” arrived here from Charleston on Thursday last. We understand the object which her owners had in view in sending her hew was to ascertain wlmt aid they could obtain from the Colony, the Homo Government, and the mercantile community of this place, to euable them to run tiic steamer semi-monthly between this port and Charleston. It has been stated that they would undertake to put on the steamer as a regular packet lor a bonus of £2000 an nually. The subject of steam navigation between this port and one of those of the neighboring States will, we doubt not, engage the atten tion of the Bahama Legislature during its next session. Its vital Importance to the interests of this colony is conceded on all hands. The great expense attendant upon it has hitherto been the great obstacle. Tho port of New York is generally considered as the port to which, if practicable, any steamer plying re gularly between this and the United States should proceed. The Guardian of the 18th reports the follow ing disasters: The American brig “ General Taylor,” En- S lst, master, was wrecked at Conception and ou the night, of tbo 13th inst., while on a voyage from Porte Prince to New York with a cargo or logwood and coffee whioh was saved and conveyed to the Cay. Several vessels pro ceeded thither, and will bring tbe cargo down to this place as freight. The brig was leaky, and bouud to Nassau for repairs. Two bands had been shipped at Inagua. Consignees, T. Darling and Co. The Am. brig V'Abby Francis,” Gardner, master, from St. Domingo to New York with logwood and ginger, was wrecked at Ram Cay on the 6th lost. The cargo and materials were to be sold at the Cay. Shocking Oocukubnor4«—Two Women Eat en by Wolves.—The Dumfries,(Canada) Re former, of October 15th, contains the fol lowing account of a shocking event which occurred at the township of Momlngton, Cana da : Our pen has seldom had to record a more heart rending circumstance than we are about to relate. Some ten days ago, in the northerly extremity of the township of Mornington, two females went out in the evening in search or their cows, and not returning that night^earch was made in tbe morning, when, sad to relate, their skeletons were only to be found, their reached us. Our llnformant Jill ‘ nly having as yet _ also states thata man in that locality haa been missing for the last ten days. No traces of him can be found whatever, and fears are entertained that he met the same lamentable fate m the unfortunate women. The wolves were never before known to be so numerous or so ravenous as they are this sea sou iu this section of the country. It is regard ed a9 unsafe to bo alono on the public highways after dark. Reports are reacnlng us almost every week of some of their ravages throughout the country. Almost everybodylhas been visit ed by them and mischief done to a greater or less extent. A farmer In North Easthope had thirty sheep killed in one single nlgut by them.— They drove them to the barn yard and killed them there. A«few nights previous they killed twelve belonging to the same man. Bears are also numerous and remarkably saucy. A Mr. Bennett, of Mornington, was attacked a short time ago in his own fields, a little after dark, by an old bear with three cub3. He fought hor off till some of tho neighbors carao to his relief. An immense one was killed in Mornington a few days ago. - -udge Sanger, of the Court of Common Pleas, at Lawrence, Mass. ^Wednesday, pronounced tbe following Charles O.

Johni Silk, of West Newbury, was sentenced to ten days solitary, and alterwards by con finement at hard labor in the State prison for twelve years, for an attempt to ravish a young girl of about 13 years of age. Thomas Alckey, on a charge of arson, was sentenced to the State prison for life. Sopfinon City.—This new centre of popu« Istion and trade at tho wostern extremity of Lake Superior is said to be prospering finely. Last year it had but four hundred inhabitants.

Conduit on of Ihe Criticism on Mr. Hill'* Speed*. After hovering like the moth wpuud tho fatal fire whioh at last Is to consume it, Mr. Hili rushed headlong Into that groat and glorious measure of justice to the South—the Kausas- Nebraska not. In anticipation of his descent on this, ho gave an extract (very short) from Buchanan’s Berk’s county letter. By the infe, cnce which- he drew froty this BmOll extract he established, to his own satisfaction, tha. James Buchanan was tbe first man who ad vanoed the odious doctrine of Squatter Sover eignty, whioh he farther proved by Reference to Gen. Coes’ Nicholson letter, containing the statement that the dootrlne had been advanced by Mr. Buchanan in the letter alluded toY He said that the Nebraska-Kansas aot gave to tbe Legislatures of those Territories the power to exclude slavery by enactment That those* were the sentiments of Mr. Buchanan, Gen Cass, Douglas, Hunter, and Mason, of Vo., But ler, of South Carolina, and others. As to his misrepresentation of the opinions of many of those gentlemen, we refer Mr. Hill to a communication in the Augusta C'on- ititutionalitt of October 12 th, addressed to Col. B.'H. Hill, sigued I., whioh howUl find very difficult to answer. But why multiply words in refutiou or such arguments, when we have plain, palpable facts to serve the purpose In a much more effectual way. When we have seen the three thousand clergymen or New England, like Peter tho Hermit of old, take the cross on their backs and wage a crusade against the Northern men who supported the measure; when we have seen the whole South (with a few shining exceptions) vote in a body for it, including every member of Congress from Georgia, without distinction of party ; when we see the Legislature of Georgia, in 1653 and ’64 endorse it and declare any one who opposed it, an enemy to the South; and when we see the Convention of the Ameri can party in Macon, iu Jane 1855, adopt al most the very language of the Legislature, we are lost in amazement nt’.tbe stupendous folly of such u positiou. Another charge brought against the Democrat io party was, that it had, since its existence been always the first to introduce the restric tions. upon slavery, and commence the slavery agitation. They are too nonsensical to require rebutting. Mr. Hill passed over the Democratic platform» upon the dissection of which he considerably prides himself, with the broad assertion that there was not one principle in it which the Democratic party had not repudiated since tue construction of the said iustrument; and that was tho worst, the toleranco of foreigners. Like most hare assertions with but little foun dation 4n fact, this, must go for what it is worth. What appeared to trouble tlie.speaker most was the continual appearance to his mind of two gigantic ghosts, at the mere shade of whom he has no doubt often cried, with Hamlet— ‘Angels and Ministers of Grace, defend usl” These were no less than Messrs. Toombs and Stephens. Oue or other of them were upon the stage before him always, leaving him no rest; he was answering their arguments, real or imaginary, the whole time. He spoke feel ingly on the sutyect, no doubt having suffered some severe inflictions at their hands. If, in his discussions with those distinguished gen- tlemeu, he left as many gaps open as he did last nigbt, the castigation must have been aw ful. He alluded to Mr. Stephens’ speech hore last year. He said that ho had understood that the citizens of Savannah had been frightened by the.dreadful picture drawn by that distinguish ed speaker, of the awful Know Nothing organi zation. Ho hud hoard that he called them midnight ussasairw, dark lantern conspirators, Ad., Ac. We confess with pleasure to have marked the wonderful influonco of that tdmira ble speech. It had somewhatlthejeffect upon the American Party, whioh frost has npon the po- tatoe vine, aud left them much in the con. ditionof tea leaves after the extraction of the essence „by the application of boiling water. We remember nothing, however, of any names being called. Wo think that upon the subject of the secret lodges, the least said the better for Mr. Hill’s party. They ought to try and forget it, drown it, smother it, or anything. Mr. Hill does not perhaps know that for a Democrat to mention secreoy, anti-Catholicism, Ac., is a crime in the eye of the American party of Savannah, punishable by a trip to Screven’s Ferry, and pistols and coffee at sunrise. But, Oh 1 Mr. Hill, what a mistake you made, in talking as you did about Foreigners. I f you could only have seen how tbe American Party have been cajoling and loving then until the recent Municipal Ejection, you would uever have done it. If you had only cast your eyes back on the columns of the Republican on the 12th of this mouth, uud read that sweet editorial addressed to Irishmen, Paddy would have had more mercy at your hands, and your party would have had more title to consistency and rectitude. How could you say that you liked to see the higher classes of Foreigners come over to this country, hut did not like the poor fellows? We know from the great respecta bility claimed by your party, you would much prefer to have Louis Napoleon, Prince Eaterhazy, and King Cliquot of Prussia, to our poor friend Timothy O'Toole or the bogs of Ireland, but you must not say so.. It was once so on the nly, but as the Frenchmansays “Time very mo-cb change.” Mr. HiU wound up with it great appeal to tho Union .sentiment, and a violent assault upon the Democratic, or (os he termed it) Disunion Party* led on by Wise, Brooks, aud Toombs.— He hod better take euro, alter his abuse of the Nebraska bill, not to lather Brooks too liard, for there will bo no point of distinction between himself and the Black Republicans, except as to the abolition of slavery itself. Towards our Senator Toombs he showed a great deal of venom, for whioh, porhaps, there may be an exoitiug cause; but we advise the gentleman in future to reserve his attacks upon him, until he is at least within ear-shot. Mr. Hill is no doubt a good lawyer, but has not much pretension to the graces of oratory. His voice is strong, with a little harshness in it; his manner Is pleasing as a speaker; his onunolation clear and distinct, and no doubt, when perfectly at cose, makes a taking speech. He has some great inellegunoles in diction not countenanced byLindley Murray, and some slight descents from tbe dignity of an argu' mentative speaker. For instance, when he cries ont In the tono el one baiting a dog, like Quilp in Dickens speaking to Tom Scott—“You Democrat thar, you can’t deny that now—you don't dare to,”—tho effeetjof any good speech would be destroyed by it. Speaking of this crying out, we could uot help being convulsed with laughter to see the ill fortune of Mr. Hill’s PPioliPf out the imaginary Democrats which accompanied it. To whichever part or tbe room be happoned to point, the Index finger would 1 [COKMUNIUATKD.] Demoei-ntlc Meeting In Hmitifham •County. According to appointment a large portiou of the Democratic Party assembled In Sprlngflold on Saturday tho 25th lust., for the purpose of hearing tho Hon. John G. Ward, aud OoL Alex. R. Lawton, in support of the Democratic nomi nation for President and Vice President. The Hon. Barnett Newton was appointed Chairman and A. W. Daley, Secretary. The Chairman, explained the object of the moetiug, and ap. pointed a Committee consisting of Dr. P. Stoles- bury, Messrs. B, W. Grovenstino and Stephen ▲. Wilson, to wait upon the speakers and to conduct them to the stand. In a few minutes the two distinguished gentlemen appeared, which called forth a general applause from the audience, that assured them that they were welcome messeugers. Col. Lawton occupied the staud for one hour,in an admirable speech. Space will uot permit us to give a detail of the gentleman’s argument, suffice to say that it waa replete in wisdom, stating facts as they are, and proving in an able manner that the suc cess oftbe Democratic Party alone, can save our beloved country from ruin. It haa been our pleasure frequently to hear the gentleman in the capacity of a jurist, it has been our de light to hear iu tbe voice of a Statesman, dis tinguished in each with talent and patriotism, Old Clmtbum has a right to be proud of him. When Got. Law on concluded, tbe Hon. John E. Ward was introduced by the Chairman. It was not his intention to notice many of the mali cious reports put in circulation with a view to derogate the character of Mr. Buchanan, many ofthem were beneath the dignity of virtue, and required a blush upon the cheek of those who uttered them. But it was his iutention to prove (and that by evidence, that he challenged any one to confute) that Mr. Buchanan is be,- yond such corruption. And well did he sustain Mr. Buchanan, and proved that in him alone the South can confide. He pointed out in the mo9t eloquent terms, tbe career of Mr. Buchanan in the service of his country, and proved that he ever did sustain the rights of the South ac cording to the constitution. With suoh ad vocates as the Hon. John E.‘ Ward to battle the cause to Democracy must triumph. He was listened, with great attention. He con cluded with an argumentative and earnest appeal to the citizens of Effingham, to lay aside all differences of opinion, and to look to the in terest of the South. There were presontsomo of our good citizens, the friends of Mr. Fillmore, and though they are divided iu opinion from us yet their attention proved that they are united with us in interest. After the meeting adjourned, the company partook of a sumpuons dianer prepared byMr. B. Jones; the gentleman’s taste in preparing for the appetite of his patrons, showed, that he appreciates the worth of Bu chanan. BARNETT NEWTON, Chu’r. A. W. Dalby, Sect’ry. N.

Nichols, a largo number of the citizens of Wayno and adjoining counties assembled here to-day to hear him on the polit ical issues of our Presidential election. The meeting was organized by tho appointment of Mr. J. F. King, Chairman, and L. W.Hazle- horst, Secretary. After being introduced to the assembly, Col, Nichols proceeded with much force to examine the political carreer and “model administra tion” of Mr. Fillmore, satisfying all unpreju diced minds that not only before,but during and since that administration, Mr. Fillmore has possessed the feelings of his section towards onr great interest, and has only been restrained in the exercise of them by the constitutional barriers that are now our only protection,and which he dared not violate. Mr. Buchanan, on the contrary, having ever been our firm and steadfast friend, as regards the institution of slavery. He was opposed to Colonel Spencer, who in a speech of an hour enchained the attention of his audience with a fund of humor and repar tee, showing all the tact of the veteran stump orator, but serving more to arouse than to con vince. The meeting was also addressed by Messrs. John Miller, J. T. T. Long, in able advocacy of Mr. Buchanan's claims, The latter gentleman having the conclusion and summing up of tire evidence, exhibited in masterly style the supe rior claims of his candidate, and that Mr. Be clianan, in the words of an old son of Erin, “Is the man for the gap.” About this time the cars came rattling down the road from the Satilla, and soon the shrill whistlo announced to many of the audience that the hour for thoir departure bad come, and thus broke up a meeting conducted with the utmost courtesy and harmony. L. W. H. Probable HowoiDXv-We learn that ou Wednesday evening last, John TV Williamson, residing near this place, inflicted a dangerous wound with a pistol on a mulatto boy an ap- irentico and oervant In Us family.

This is another of the results of the excessive use of ardent spirits and of unrestrained passion.— When sober, Williamson, it.is said* treated him Yindly, and evIB'ceda strong retard for him.

A young woman by the name of Martha Finnix, daughter of John Fnnix. started on that afternoon to go from one neighbo’ra house to another; but not arriv- ing,her friends and neighbors brooming ahum* ed, made diligent searchjfrom Saturday nigbt till Monday morning, when her dead body was found in a thicket in the woods, having been Bbot through the head with a shot gun, and her throathorribly oat. She had evidently been enticed in the*woods by some fiend in human shape, and then brutally murdered. The girl and her parents are highly respectable, says the Greensborough Times^ndthe shocking af fair has created Ihe most intense excitement throughout the whole neighborhood.
