Warren R. Davis, for the introduction of Cotton Sail Duck in’o tho naval service of tho country. Ho states that on thn day preceding his communication, he accompanied Mr. Davis on a visit to the Se cret,irv of tho Navy, whom ho represents as decidedly favorable to the contemplated use of Cotton.—The President, he says, has also given his sanction to tho project, and deter mined that nn experiment of its merits shall he made. Our correspondent himself has no doubt of its final and complete success. He was favored by tlio Secretary of tho Xavy with a roimminirntinn from tho Captain of a large steam boat at Philadelphia, who had long used Cotton Sail Duck fur an awning, and whose communication was written to provo that it was not ns combustible as Hemp, was more close, (which prevented rain from passing through it as soon) and far less liable to mil dew. The Captain says that from the frequent falling of the sparks from the chimney of the boat, the awning must linvo been long ago de stroyed, if it luid heen as combustible ns it is supposed to lie by some Mr. Davis, we learn, has put to press several valuable com munications on thn subject, which were soon to appear in a oamphlet form, and of which our correspondent has promised us a copy. The Secretary of the Xnvy had also assured M. Davis that he would, in a few days, give the Cotton Duck a fair trinl, by ascertaining, at tho Xnvv Vard, which is the most combusti- le, that or Hemp. Wo should oc very glad to learn the result of this experiment—but our orrespondent doubts whether ho will remain long enough in Washington to witness it. Wo agree with him, however, that tho testimony of the Steam Boat Captain is pretty decisive on tho subject; and most cordially concur in the well merited encomiums which ho pays to the patriotism nnd persnveranco of Mr. Davis. —Charleston JMercury. I exult in the fact that I nm not indebted to fo reign schools for whnt education I have. My Alma ,Mater is my pride. I have witnessed our College depressed, disorganized, unoffi- cerud and almost dissolved. I hnvo seon it start again, rise from obscurity intu notice, from contempt into respectability. I have seen it for years, sending out its alumni to beautify, and to dignify the walks of civil life. I have seen its graduates become citizens, and the councils of the state, tlio bar and the pul pit tilling up, with home horn and home edu cated men. And now when its respectability is acknowledged, and its usefulness fell, how tliiiig whatever about ttie matter, or they wtu fully misrepresent it. Literature and religio D are different things. Literature and contro versy are very different things. They should be kept separate and distinct. If this charge he well founded, it is susceptible of proof. Then prove it. Point to one Bingle graduate who will establish it for you. The very men who are denouncing Presbyterian influence are moving Heaven nnd Earth to get up an influence different in its nature, but the same in its consequences. Why do certain indi viduals clamor for a Baptist Professor, unless it is to establish Baptist influence ? Why is it that a distinguished individual has lately made a tour of observation and of effect, and why has the same individual stooping from his high es- late, condescended to figure in a news paper paragraph ? I fear that what that individual throw the College.—Shall the friends of the state, the patriots of Georgia, the pious and honest of all creeds, thus aid in tearing down a structure so beautiful, so necessary, and rear ed with so much difficulty ?

All that industry, zeal nnd piety could do, ho has done, to raise thn character of the institution nnd render it useful. During the long period that he lias heen nt the head of the the College, when have Ids exertions remitted, his zeal tired, or his paternal care abated ? He has made himself a slave to the stole, his name and character inspired confi dence where it was not, his prudenco has warded off from Athens all religious polemics, nnd still lliero are tiioso who are willing to fix upon him thn charge of a corrupt combination to make Mr. Church his successor, to tho ex clusion of others. That Dr. W. was pleased with Mr.'Church’s success, there is no doubt , because ho believed him to be eminently well qualified for the station ; that he was not a party to nny arrangements either to elect Mr. Church or Mr. James P. Waddel, there is as little doubt. The state should not be ungrate ltd to Dr. Waddel, tlio state will not bo un grateful to him But what is the foundation of tho present opposition to the College?

From the difficulty experienced hy tlio peoplo in pre paring n room on this occasion, I would draw this moral, which I hope will sink deep into their minds—it is absolutely necessary that the people should havo a hall of their own, for the uses of public lectures, from which they could not he excluded either by tho Clergy or the Aristocracy.” She now withdrew into tho carriage, some cheers and huzzas were pm forth, the carriage drove off, the crowd dispersed, nnd thus quiet ly ended an affair which had excited fenrs in the bosoms of many who were neither of “ the Clergy nor tho Aristocracy.” The long contemplated junction of the Rhine and the Danulie is announced as about to he under taken by a company in Pat is, on a pa tent for ninety-nine years.

The first member, of that oath is, “ Foil shall diligently enquire and truo presentment make, of nil such matters and things as shall ho given you in charge.” This member of the oath, relating to the charge of tho court ,and such bills of indictment as may he prepared by tho law officer of tho Stato, niav nt the first giunre bo supposed to have no iufloeiire upon the question; but, as the court, in giving matters in charge to the Grand Jury, and tho law offi. ccr in preparing Bills of Indictment, nro not restrained by any Ir.pso of time, it is difficult to conceive any good reason for restricting the inquiries of Grand Jurors to offences which nro committed after they are empannclled. The second and third members of the oath have no bearing upon ‘the question. The fourth member of the oath, is “ But you shall present all things, truly, as they come to your hwirledge—so help yo« God.” ‘ f„ this mem- her of tho oath, the obligation to present, is as comprehensive as the English langiiago can mako it, and it contains no restriction as to time. It would be extremely injurious to tho wel| being of society if the power of Grand Juries should bo improperly restrained. If the Court understand* tho policy of the laws of this State, it intends to subject every por tion of time and human action So the censor ship of Grand Juries.

The cannot ho under tlio influence of that church throughout the state, for it is less numorons and loss powerful than the Methodist or Bap tist church. In Athens tlio Methodists, arc as numerous and as influential as tlio Preshy. toriuns. The hoard there exercises this inflii- enee if nt all through its appointing power.— AVbo nre tlio men who constitute that hoard ? Are ttiey all or a majority of them Prcshyteri- ans? But three or four, nre to bo found pro fessing a faith in the creed of the Presbyterian church. Can these four individuals control the operations of the hoard I Certainly not. But who will believe that such men as Troup, Crawford, Cobb, Gilmer and Camak. are go verned bv sectarian feeling, in the discharge of public duty ? I will not ; and it is worse than madness to sny, that they luive or will he actuated hy any such feeling. It is well known ■that one of tho professorships at Athens has been filled hy a very distinguished clergyman of ths Methodist persuasion. If it was nn ob ject with tlio board to subject the College to Presbyterian influence, why appoint to its most important professorship,a manof<-ueh gigr.niio powers as Mr. Olin—himself a host ? But it is said, the Baptist church lias not been repre sented there. And what is the reason ? is that they have never presented a man qualified to fill a professorship until the In-t rotnmenre- ment. And then the credentials of Messrs. Smith and Shannon were nnt presented to at test their qualifications. As to the appoint ment of Mr. Waddel to the professorship of ancient languages, I nm constrained to call it injudicious. That he is u scholar nnd man of amiable and exemplary privnln character, is well known to those who have the pleasure of his acquaintance; still he wants that personal dignity, weight of character nnd capacity of discipline, so importation an officer of College. Should his place become vacant, I nm con vinced tlmt it will be filled with an cyo to the true interest of the stato and tho harmony of nil parties. It is said that the College is a school, where the peculiar tenets oftlie Presbyterian Church are taught. This is notoriously false. If this were true, how soon, how very sonn would public indignation prostrate thn whole system. Nothing could be morn suicidal than for the officers of College to venture upon religious discussions. Can any reasonable man believe that they would do that which they know would work their own destruction ? Are they, can they he so demoniac as to cut their own throats with their own hands? Tho allega tion bears the stamp of improbability upon its face. Those who make this charge do not believe it. It is but a pretext, a hook whom, upon to hang opposition. Those who hare been connected with the College, can bear testimony with me that this is not true. Piety and morality i have often heard inculcated, but I do believe that a student might graduate there nnd never know, from aught he would learn from the faculty, the difference between the faith of a Calvinist and an Arminian.

Ollier accoums differ. Constantinople dates of July 7tli, states, that tho Turkish camp at Adriunoplo w-as bro ken up, and that the troops were on tliei/ march to reinforce the Grand Vizier at Shurnln. Clare Election.—Tlio election for a member to represent the comity of Clare took place at Ennis, July 30. At an early hour in the day tho town wns thronged to an excess which rendered the streets almost impassable; but, much to the credit oftlie men of Clare, not n singlo outrage occurred from the commence ment to the termination of the proceedings nor was n drunken man to bo seen. The peasantry flocked in from the remotest districts of the county, and, a fact much to their honor, not ono of them carried n sliillclali, an appen dage without which an Irish peasant is rarely seen. Mr. O’Connell was proposed by Mr. O’Gorman Mahon nnd seconded by Mr. Steele, Major MncXamarn, Mr. J. O’Brien, and Mr. Richard Mncnnmnra. Proclamation having been made, the High She riff, S. G. Pardon, Esq. inquired if it were intended to propose any other person, and, receiving no nnswer, after a reasonable time, lie declared Daniel O’Connell, Esq. to he duly elected. This announcement wns instantly followed by immense cheering, waving of hats and hand kerchiefs, and the cheering was re-echoed without the walls of the Court-room, and throughout the town. Mr. O’Connell, in the course of his address of thanks, communica ted to his constituents the course lie lias mark ed out for himself in Parliament, and if he perform his promises, he will be the most in defatigable ami useful man that ever sal with in its walls. He says that he is determined to lie in the House from tho moment that prayer* begin till nil the business is over. Ho means to read every word of every bill that comes before tlio House. He pledges himself to move for the repeal of tlio act levelled against the late Association, hy which a despotic au thority was vested in the hand* oftlie Viceroy; never to cease bis endeavors till the Disfran chisement Bill, by which 250,000 freeholders were deprived of their rights, is repealed; to advocate reform, and full, free, and biennia? parliaments; to procure the repeal of (lift Union; to abolish the horrible system of oaths, by which lie said not fewer than 10 or 1800 oaths were required in various public depart ments; to expose the abuses of the law and endeavor to procure their reform; and to call for nn investigation into the story of Captain Garth, in order that tlio Duke of Cumberland, the brother of his King, might be freed from the foul slanders by which he had been assail* ed. Constantinople, July 7.—The negociations in respect to Greece, hold out. at present, but little hopes of a speedy and favorable result. All the proposals of the two Ambassadors have produced no effect on the Reis Effendt, who obstinately defends the old system ut Ot toman policy. His answers are founded on the old. nnd’still unrefuted arguments, which are further strengthened by the recent conduct of Count Capo D’Istrias. Neither has more attention been paid to tho expressions v h cb tho ambassadors have used in the couno PJ.
