Drowned.
We regret to learn that a young lad about 11
or 12 years of age by the name of George Sib
ley, the youngest son of the late Amory Sibley,
was drowned yesterday afternoon in Sa
vannah River. From what we can learn, in
company with a youth of about his own age, he
attempted to cross the river in a canoe, which
ran on a stump, and young Sibley was thrown
overboard and drowned. His body was in the
water about three quarters of an hour before it
was recovered, and notwithstanding every
means was used to restore him, they proved in
effectual. This should be another warning to
parents to keep their children away from the
river.
Death of Mrs. H. R. Jackson.
We regret to learn, by a letter received in
this city from Savannah, dated 16th inst., that
this estimable lady died very suddenly, in that
city on the night of the 15th inst. She was per
fectly well alter tea on the above evening, when
she was taken with a cramp in the stomach,
and died in five hours after she was attacked.
Ice!
We are requested to state, that the supply of
Ice gave out on Saturday morning last, in con
sequence of the order given by the Ice Company
in this city, not being filled in Charleston. The
necessary supply came to hand in the afternoon.
We are further requested to state, that in con
sequence ot the Company being disappointed in
the receipt of a cargo of ice, which they had
purchased in Savannah, they will be compelled
to depend on Chaileston for a future supply, but
that their arrangements are such with that city,
that they will have a bountiful supply for the
country and city for the reminder of the season.
We sincerely hope they will not be disappointed?
for ice has become an indispensable article with
our citizens.
Fancy Masquerade Ball.
We are requested to state that a grand Mas
querade Fancy Ball will be given at Madison
Springs between the 15th and 20th of August.
From the way friend Watkins gets up things
atjhis fashionable watering place, we have no
doubt this ball will be one of them.
Meriwether County.
A friend, residing in the above county, under
date of 14th inst., sends us the following :
“ The public mind, in our county, is very
tranquil at this time, on political matters. There
is nota doubt, however, to be entertianed for a
moment but that Mr. Johnson’s nomination is
highly acceptable with all our friends. Meri
wether Co. will give him a respectable majority.
We have no candidates, as yet, for the Legisla
ture. It is supposed the retail traffic question in
ardent spirits, is somewhat in the way of some,
and causes something like a tender-footedness.
In our county, the railroad spirit is gaining
ground. $40,000 are already subscribed for the
purpose of building a railroad from Greenville to
Giantville. At this time, the prospects are in
deed flattering for the completion of the enter
prise. Again, our crops of corn are much impro
ving, since the commencement of the recent
showers. I think our county will make a sup
port. The cotton plant is small but abounds with
squares. At this time, it is growing too fast,
and has recently become too full of sap. There
is no certain calculation, as yet, to be made, with
reference to the final result of the cotton crop.”
Weather and Crops.
The Ouachita (Ark.) Herald of the 7th inst
says :
The weather for the last few woeks has been
rather dry. The Tains have been extremely par
tial. In some localities they have had fine sea
sons whilst in others the drought has been so
severe as to injure the corn crop materially.
The Yazoo City Whig es the Bth inst. says :
On last Friday afternoon a heavy shower vis
ited us, to oui great delight, and which has con
tinued daily up to the time of the writing of this
article. These showers will be productive of
great benefit to our planters, and go a great way
in restoring- crops which were almost destroyed
by the drought.
The Columbus (Miss.) Argus of the 7th says :
Showers of rain have fallen nearly every day
for a week past, and the planter now cries,
“hold,enough!” Crops are improving amazingly.
Corn looks rather dwarthy, but it is presumed
that a sufficiency will be gathered in this region.
► The Florence. (Ala.) Gazette, of the 2d inst.
says :
This week we announce having been present
ed with a half grown cotton bole, raised on the
plantation of Mr. Wm. Coffee, on the rivrr be
low Florence.
The Louisville Journal, of the 4th inst. says :
From the 18th of May until yesterday we
have experienced a continual drought, the ther
mometer ranging most of the time from 90 to 99
degrees. A very heavy shower fell last evening,
and appearances then indicated more rain. It
will yet largely benefit the crops, though the in
jury which the tobacco plant has sustained can
not be retrieved.
The St. Francisville (La.) Chronicle of the
9th inst. says :
Since our last issue we have had rain daily.
It came too late, however, to benefit the corn
crop much. It will be of immense advantage to
the cane crop. .T he cotton is doing remarkably
well. If the rain should stop now fine crops
will be made, but we are fearful, from present
indications that we will have too much.
The Capitolian (La.) Vis-a-Vis, of the 13th
inst. says :
We have had an abundance of rain for the
last three weeks ; it, however, has been much
wanted, and its effect is shown in the beautiful
appearance of our crops. We have never seen
the cane look finer or more promising than at
the present moment.
The Opelousas (La.) Whig of the 9th inst.
says :
For several days we have had a superabund
ance of rain. The cotton crops must be injured
materially by it, as it will cause the forms to fall
off and leave the pl< nt in. a condition to be de
stroyed by rust when the warm sun comes out
on it.
The young cane will produce finely and in
great abundance. Cane is growing very fast and
in great abundance.
The health of the countiy is very good. The
roads are rapidly becoming impassable.
The Bowling Green (Ky.) Standard, of the
Ist inst. says :
The crops in this section are suffering very
much from the dry season. The oats are hardly
worth harvesting. The tobacco crop-will not
exceed one-half of that raised last year.
The Gallatin (Tenn.) Tenth Legion of the 2d
says :
The rains last week in our county being only
in sections, we still stand in need of water
water —the crops generally, however, in this
vicinity look well. The potato croe, unless we
have rain in a few days, will be short.
The Thibodaux (La.) Minerva of the 9th
says; j
It has scarcely ceased raining since our last
issue was put to press, and from present appear
ances we know not when we shall be able to
announce to our readers that the weather, to use
a commercial phrase, is “ middling fair.”
Reception of the President at New York.
1 resident Pierce met with a warm reception
on his recent visit to New York. He was wel
comed by Mayor Westervelt, on behalf of the
authorities of that city, in a neat and appropri
a‘e address, to which the President responded as
follows:
THE president’s SPEECH AT CASTLE GARDEN.
I thank you for the kind and patriotic ex
pressions with which you have received me,.
For the first time I address, within their own
borders, the citizens of the Empire City, now,
beyond all controversy, the commercial metrop
olis of our blessed Union. The rapidity, sir,
with which New York has arisen to so command
ing a position as one of the most important
cities upon the globe has no parallel in history.
Already the enterprise of your meichants, the
genius of your ship builders, the daring spirit
of your vast trading marine, are beginning to
make you first in the markets of the world.
Here, my countrymen—here in New York—
will the ledger of commerce keep the accounts
of the nations of the earth. Near the spot on
which we stand there are striking points which
mark the amazing rapidity ot your growth as a
city. On the opposite side of'Bowling Green, if
lam not mistaken, stands one of the compara
tively few edifices erected prior to 1770. It is, I
believe, the only one remaining originally built
of German brick. It is a revered relic of a past
age. How surprised, possibly, even the young
men of the present day would be, if they were
fully to realize that six years after its erection
the waters of the North river flowed almost to
its foundations ; and that, far north of where
three great parallel streets now teem with ac
tivity and enterprise, was the sandy landing of
boats upon that then free and uncircurnscribed
river. How difficult it is, at this period, to real
ise that the limits of the city at that date exten
ded not beyond Murray street, and that there
were even within that boundary many vacant
lots, and that the population hardly exceeded
twenty thousand.
Shall we speak of the future ! How can we,
when we revert to the calculations of really
wise men of the past, who, if I atn not misin
formed, built the north wall of the City Hall
of brick, because, as it was to be presented alone
to the unsettled district, the exterior aspect on
that side was of slight consequence. How far is
j it at this moment south of the centre of popula
! tion, wealth and enterprise? In 1826, your city
hardly exceeded 140,000, now you number more
than half a million of souls. In that year, I re
member to have heard my father, on his return
from New York, after his first visit here, subse
quent to the close of the revolution, express his
amazement at the growth and change of the ci
-1 ty. Still,at that time,Brooklyn,which now num
bers more than one hundred thousand souls, was
comparatively a village, and riding on horseback
with old Gen. Moreton, he found standing a
portion of the building on Brooklyn Heights, on
which he had run up the American ensign upon
the evacuation of the city in 1783. From the
first date I have named, 1770, to this hour,, the
history of the city has been the history of patri
otic devotion to popular rights and popular liber
ty. That, for a time during the levolutionary
struggle, another ensign and ours floated here
is no cause of mortificati on; # it was the
fortune of war, and in our weak and em
barrassed condition, unavoid able. But the
sun of the 25th November, 1783 rose here
for the last time upon the rule of a foreign
power, and the anniversary of that day is
remembered by your “sons of liberty” with
the same patriotic feeling that the great nation
al anniversary of July 4th is regarded by the
people of our common country. How are you,
men of New York, to show your gratitude for
the past? How are you to make the most of
the present? How are you to secure all the
noble promise of your future.
You will keep high your standard of intelli
gence and morals, because all apparent advance
ment will prove fallacious, and weakness will
be substituted for strength whenever, as a peo
ple, we cease with reverence and humble de
pendence to look to the source of all power and
all wisdom. You will educate your children in
the belief and conviction that you have neither
power nor perseverance, nor security nor liberty,
except as you constitute one of the members of
this vast and now universally respected confede
racy. You will foster every where the living
action, efficient sentiment, that under the Provi
dence of God these great blessings may only be
enjoyed under the present constitution. You
remember yourselves and remind others that
wise men framed that constitution. Men who
knew what independence cost, because in their
own suffering and in the privations and trials of
their families and friends they had paid a part of
that expense. The great problem of the forma
tion of the Union called not only for all the wis
dom but for al' the patriotic conception of the
wisest body of men the world had ever yet seen
in council. If there are those at the present
day who. having never made for their country
the sacrifice you have, of ease, a dollar of income,
or one moment of personal danger, would break
i up the foundation on which we nave so prosper
ously and securely stood ; the basis of our happi
; ness at home and our respect abroad—the only
sure pledge of all that we expect for those who
are to come after us, it is to be hoped that they
are few in number, and that their sphere of in
j fluence limited.
If there are provisions in the constitution of
your country not consistent with your views of
! principle or expediency, remember that in the
nature of things that instrument could only
have had its origin in compromise; and remem
ber too, that you will be faithless to honor and
common honesty if you consent to enjoy the
privileges it confers, and seek to avoid, if any,
the burdens it imposes. It cannot be accepted
in parts; it is a whole or nothing, and as a
whole, with all the rights it secures, and the
duties it requires, it is to besacredly maintained.
I accept these honors as your servant with a
thankful heart, but I bear with me, at the same
time, a proud consciousness that by your free
and unsought choice I am also your representa
tive, charged with the care of your interests
and your honor. I hope to be encouraged and
strengthened in all my efforts to promote the
one, and preserve unsullied the other, by such
countenance and support on your part as a fear
less and faithful exercise of the functions com
mitted to me may merit.
Mr. Mayor :—This Empire City, and this
Empire State, are the living exemplifications of
the talismanic word adopted as your motto. Has
it never occurred to you, sir, that the hand which
inscribed “ Excelsior” upon yonr coat of arms,
must have been guided by a prophet’s vision ?
This spectacle teaches all of us a valuable and
significant lesson. May God, in his wisdom,
make you sensible of the blessings conferred
upon you ; and during my term of office, may
He strengthen me in my sincere and anxious
purpose to aid you in all your honorable and
patriotic enterprizes. For who can estimate the
events of the future ? Who shall say to your
great characteristic, and to the spirit of our
whole county, “ thus far shalt thou go and no
farther ?” As you advance in your majestic
career, new duties and new responsibilities are
imposed, and as your conquering example mani
fests itself on allhands, new conceptions of still
further triumphs will arouse and stimulate your
exertions. The Old World caught the inspira
tion from the New. Nations closed to civilza
tion for hundreds of years, arouse from the sleep
of ages, and stretch out their hands to the in
quiring spirit which is constantly gathering in
strength for new victories over time and space
on these shores. Who will set limits to your
just ambition when the Atlantic is bridged with
steamers to the shores of Europe aud united to
the Pacific by the great thoroughfare that will
eventually bind these States together «<. «,ith
hooks of steel ? And, sir, with all these ad vdan
tages—with all these privileges—with all these
benefits of the present, and these anticipations
of the future—and let me say with all the in
vocations of the past—how can we fail to wel
come those who come to us from the gray old
nations of Europe ? Let them come ! There
is room enough for all—room in the hearts and
in the homes of the American people ; and there
is work and food enough for all. The moment
they enter into the brotherhood of American
freemen they cease to be citizens of other coun
tries, and they bear their share of the burdens
and enjoy their share of the blessings common
to all in this happy union.
It is this great truth that invokes us against
all schismatic organ izations not strictly Ameri
can, and that destroys the claim that ours is a
nation governed by men of one race alone. No
single race of men can boast that to them alone
is humanity indebted for such a country as this.
It is the fusion of all nations into one that has
given to us the attitude we now occupy, and
that has crowned our enterprises with success.
Your own experience is the proof of this. All
races have contributed to the population t.hat
now crowds your ships, builds your cities, sits
in your councils and educates your cildren. The
hardy sons of New England, and the descend
ants of your own pioneers mingle with the
tide that flows in from other nations until all
characterics disappear before the progressive and
courageous spirit that animates the citizens of
our own country and protects our free institu
tions. And now, my fellow countrymen, once
more I thank you for this brilliant and extraor*
dinary reception, a tribute which you pay to
the government of your choice and affection, and
to our heaven favored Union, in the person of
your representative in the Presidential chair.
The President concluded amidst the enthusi
astic applause of the immense crowd assembled
in the Garden.
There were then loud calls for Jefferson Da
vis, who came forward, and in a few words
thanked them for the compliment, but would
not detain them from forming in the procession,
and proceeding to the inauguration of the Crys
tal Palace.
The President was then conducted from the
stage to the Battery, and was followed by the
vast assemblage in the body and gallery of the
house. The crush was immense, and only for
the admirable arrangement of Mr. Matsell, the
Chief of Police, and the discipline of the officers
and men under him, the different avenues of
egress would not have been sufficient to have
accommodated the eager throng. All passed off,
however, quietly, and many of them proceeded
to witness the review of the troops, whilst the
more wary ensconced themselves in the car
riages kindly provided by the Common Council
to convey those who were in possession of “ lit
tle blue tickets” in the procession to the Crystal
Palace.
If subscribers to journals, like church members,
in “stopping their paper,” were required to pro
duce an editorial certificate before they could
subscribe for another, there would be some curi
ous developments—as for example: “We certi
fy that A. B. stopped his paper, because the edi
tor refused to allow him six columns for a per
sonal vindication which concerned nobody but
himself. We certify that C. D. refuses the pa
per because the editor did not publish the obit
uary notice of a relative, which he did not get,
but which he ought to have detected in some
exchange paper. We certify that E. F. wishes
to transfer his patronage to another paper, hav
ing taken this paper six years without paying a
cent, he felt himself insulted by having a bill
sent to him byway of a reminder, postage un
paid. We certify that B. 8., in his own opin
ion, is a poet of the first water; but the editor
unfortunately differs from him in his opinion, i s
regarded by him as wholly unqualified for his
office.”
The Fishery Question. —Commodore Shu
brick, of the U. S. Navy, who has lately been ap
pointed by the President to the command of the
squadron designed as a protection to the Ameri
can fishermen, passed through Baltimore on Fri
day morning on his way from Washington, to
join his flag ship at New York. He is accom
panied by John S. Cunngham, Esq., of the Navy
Department, who will act as secretary and as
sistant, in conducting the negotiatings that may
become necessary during their short visit to the
scene of difficulty. We learn that the whole
question is likely to be settled without any fur
ther unpleasantness, through the skilful agency
of the State and Navy Departments.
Mr. Buchanan Going to England. —The
Philadelphia News says it learns from private
sources, but upon undoubted authority, that the
differences extensively referred to by the press
as existing between the administration and Mr.
Buchanan, have been arranged, and that there
will therefore be no declination on his part. The
misunderstanding which did really exist was
upon questions of exoediency, and these having
been settled it is believed, according to the
views of Mr. 8., he will leave for Europe in the
course of a few weeks at most.
Doctors. —We learn from the Medical Ex
aminer that the medical graduates in the Uni
ted States thus far have numberd nine hun
red and fifty for the year 1853. This iucludes the
graduates of sixteen medical institutions.
Dividends. —Since we wrote our last article
on Dividends, we have had the good fortune to
encounter another Dividend day , for our especial
anil exclusive benefit. Saturday last was. indeed,
a White day in our calendar. The Oyster Bank,
instead of snapping at us, has allowed us to snap
at it—nay, it has actuallv declared a dividend
in our favor—and we gratefully acknowledge a
fine dish of oysters, from the plantation of the
great Oyster-Measter, on Suilivan’s Island ; and
not having the fear of cholera before our eyes,
we made a luscious feast of it. But our good
fortune ended not here. “The Bank, which re
poses so quietly on the bank of the Savannah”
—the Hamburg, not the Humbug Bank, has also
declared a dividend in our favor, and we grate
fully acknowledge its kindness, in the shape of
a “panoply,” “of the latest style,” for our caput ,
from the Hat and Cap Repository of Steele,
the Genin of Charleston. Not only have Banks ,
financial and moluscar , thus yielded us their
fruits; but the Fig-Tree and the Grape-Vine
have also declared dividends in our favor—and we
acknowledge from a liberal hand, a present of
mammoth figs—lemon and black—and several
bunches or clusters of delicious grapes. We can
also boast of other favors from a private bank in
Broad street, in the shape of Razors, Razor Strop,
and Pen-Knife, all of the first class, and the high
est excellence and finish—enough, almost, to
to make us bankrupt in the expression , although
not in the feeling of gratitude.— Charleston Cour
ier, 18th inst.
Arrangements for Corn.— We have been
requested to call a meeting of the citizens of this
county, to convene at the Court House in
this place on the first Tuesday in August,
for the purpose of taking some steps to
wards furnishing the county with Corn for an
other year, and it is hoped that there will be a
large turn out, and from every section of the
county, so that it may be known what the
prospects of each section are, and how much
may be necessary to supply the demands of the
county. The plan proposed is to raise a general
fund with which to purchase corn, and each one
who is able taking and paying for same at cost
prices, as much as he may necessarily need,
those who are unable to buy being furnished
gratis.
We most heartily coucur in so praiseworthy
a proposition, and commend it to the considera
tion of all our county reader. An unusual
drought has blighted the prospects of the best
and most considerate farmers, and while ot those
who will most likely fail in their usual supply
of corn, many or the most of them may be per
fectly able to supply themselves by individual
and personal effort, yet there are others who are
not so fortunately situated, who could buy in
their own market, but could not in a foreign one,
and others still to whom gratuity is due. It is
therefore wise and liberal, and just and generous,
that all should unite, and bring within our coun
ty a depot for furnishing bread to the people, a
market from whence we can all supply ourselves
with this necessity of lite.— Sandersville Geor
gian, 12 th inst.
Rain ! Rain ! !—-Since our last issue, we have
had an abundance of rain. The rain commenced
on Sunday last, and at present—Monday even
ing—is falling in abundance, and from present
appearances, we will have a long wet spell.
On Sunday evening last, the lightning was very
severe—striking no less than six or seven trees
in and about town.
After a drought that threatened almost the
enfire annihilation of crops, we think our farm
ers may congratulate themselves on the pros
pect of half a crop, where but recently, serious
apprehensions were entertained of almost a to
tal failui e. Memphis (Ala.) Tribune , Uoth inst.

England. —ln the House of Lords, Lord
Brougham asked the Secretary, for the Colonies,
if he was aware of a proclamation which had
been issued by Governor Roberts of Liberia,
stating that a contract had been made by Messrs.
Hythe and Hodges, of London, for supplying free
negroes to some of the British Colonies, and
warning persons interested, of the danger that
negroes would be kidnapped for the purpose. —
Lord Brougham said he had seen this proclama
tion in an American paper, and he believed this
contract was only the slave trade in another
shape. The Duke of New Castle replied that he
had not seen the proclamation, but was conver
sant with the facts, and was aware that Hythe
and Hodges had agreed to introduce free negroes
into several of the Colonies, Guiana, in particu
lar. He admitted that in most hands such a
business would be very like the slave trade, but
in the hands of such very respectable persons as
Hythe and Hodges, it was quite another thing.
Earl Gray explained the circumstances under
which the contract was made. He was quite
satisfied that the business was safe in their
hands. The subject then dropped.
On the 6th inst., in the Commons, Mr. Lay
ard stated that it was reported the Russians had
blockaded the entrance of the River
sinking boats loaded with stones, and that 370
merchant vessels were thereby prevented from
leaving the river. He wished to ask the Gov
ernment if ouch was the fact? Lord John Bus
sell replied that the Government had no such
information, but that one of the British Consuls
had sent an account, reporting that the mouth
of the Danube was obstructed by natural causes.
The House went into committee on the bill re
ducing the duty on newspapers.
The Duke of Newcastle has brought the af
fairs of Jamaica before the House of Lords in a
masterly and comprehensive speech. It appears
from this that Sir C. Grey is recalled—that the
late Governor of Guiana, Mr. H. Berkley, is to
succeed him with a salary of five thousand pounds
a year—that the British Government is prepar
ed to pay off the half million of debt owing to
Jamaica, by raising money at a lower rate of
interest—that some changes are to be introduced
into the legislative council—and that a sinking
fund is to be formed, by which the debt will be
altogether canceled a few years.
Ireland. —Mr. Van Buren anti sbn, accompa
nied by Mr. --Campbell, of U. C., visited
the Dublin Exhibition, on the 28th ultimo, and
were conducted through the building by Profes
sors Harrison, Barker, and other members of the
committee.
The Limerick Chronicle slates that Richard
Russell and Wm. J. Shaw have contracted at
Glasgow for a new screw-steamer, of 200 horse
power. This ship is intended to ply between
London and Foynes in winter, and Foynes and
New York in summer.
France. —M. Persigny, the minister of the
Interior, summoned the proprietors and editors
of the Paris journals lately, and stated that the
government intended to relax rather than in
crease the restrictions of the press.
Admiral Larusse has been superseded in the
command of the Mediterranean fleet by Vice
Admiral Hamelin. It is said that Larusse is
thus degraded for having been 24 hours later
than the British Admiral in bringing up his
ships to the Bay of Besika.
It is stated that the French War Office has
agreed to furnish 60,000 muskets to the Turkish
Government, and that orders have been sent to
have them despatched forthwith to Constantino
ple.
Austria. —From Vienna. June 28, it was
stated that on the 17th, M. de Balabine, the last
member of the Russian Legation, took his de
parture. Before leaving, he caused all the re
cords of the Embassy to be put on board the
steamer that was to convey him to Odessa. By
a dispatch from Trieste, June 29, received at
London July Ist, announcing the arrival of the
Lloyd steamer from Constantinople, with news
to the 20th, M. Balabine’s leaving is confirmed.
Austria and Prussia were considered as remain
ing neutral.
Russia and Turkey. —The London Times of
the 2d inst., had received positive information
from St. Petersburg, by the packet which left
that capital for Stettin, on the evening of the
25th of June, that on that day, on the return of
the last courier from Constantinople, the Em
peror of Russia despatched immediate orders to
his troops (o cross the Pruth. It was expected
that this determination would forthwith be an
nounced by the Russian nation and to foreign
states by a manifesto, in which the Emperor
would reiterate his strange declaration, that this
aggression is not an act of war, and that he is
ready to stop the march of his troops whenever
the Turkish Government signifies its intention
to comply with his demands.
It would take six or seven days for orders to
reach the Russian army, consequently it is cal
culated that it must be July Ist, at earliest, be
fore any advance can take place. The reply of
the Divan to the note of Count Nesselrode, al
though rejecting the ultimatum- —is said to be
dignified and moderate, and it expresses a desire
to arrange matters, if possible, in a pacific man
ner and without dishonor to either Power; aud
further, the Sultan is still willing to send an
Ambassador to St. Petersburg to enter upon
negotiations. The Austrian Ambassador sug
gested the Sultan’s brother-in-law as the Am
bassador at St. Petersburg. To this course the
Porte would have no objection, provided the
Russians engage to refrain from entering the
principalities.
Telegraphic despatches, said to have been
transmitted to the French Government, which
indicate that the Porte has decided not to engage
in a contest immediately on the invasion of the
Danubian principalities. The Porte will con
fine itself to protesting, and declaring all nego
tiation impossible during the occupation, and
will rely on its allies to conduct the affair with
due regard to the moderation it shows in placing
its interests in their hands. This solution of
the difficulty seems not unlikely, as it would af
ford Nicholas an opportunity of at once display
ing his firmness, and to back out afterwards.
A private letter from Constantinople, dated
16th of June, gives the following interesting par
ticulars :
“ Omer Pasha will command the army of
Shumla; that ofßus chuk will be under the or
ders of Mehemet Redschid Pasha. In the two
camps there are about 80,000 men under arms,
and before long from 30,000 to 40,000 Redits
will join this army.

China. —Rumored Recapture of Nankin. —A
letter from Hong Kong, May 6th, says the mail
steamer has been detained until two p. m., this
day, in expectation of the receipt of advices from
Shanghai, but she will take her departure with
out any further news from the seat of war. The
fact is, since the departure of the last mail steam
er there has not been a single arrival from
Shanghai, which circumstance has perplexed
politicians and commercial men. All sorts of
rumors are current at Canton, to the effect that
the city of Nankin had been recaptured by the
rebels, and that they have moved in the direc
tion of Pekin. This, however, has not received
any authent cation; and for actual facts, the
English reader must await the arrival of another
mail.

English and American Merchants. —The
London correspondent of the Sunday Times in
stituted the following commparison between
the Merchant Princes of the Old World and the
New:
“Mr. Vanderbilt’s steam yacht, at Southamp
ton, has rather astonished John Bull. The idea
of SIOO,OOO being expended on a pleasure yacht
puzzles honest John, who does not reckon be
cause he has not heard of the chances of said
vessel being well sold in Europe. Every one
£ raises the “ craft,” however, which really must
ea splendid affair. Mr. V. is commonly called
“ Commodore” Vanderbilt, and here, (where no
man assumes a title to where he really has no
claim—where a birber is not “ Professor” of soap
suds) ninety-nine out of every hundred people
believe that “ Commodore” Vanderbilt holds a
bona fide rank in the United States Navy equiv
alent (from the “ regardless of expense” manner
in which he works it to that of Lord High Ad
miral of England 1) Our merchant princes beat
yours in wealth, (there are five men in Man
chester who are worth £15,000.000,) but they
hoard, to by landed estates out of which by-and
by their heirs, if not themselves, will rise to tbe
rank of the nobilitv. I confess that I much
prefer the American mode of enjoying life.”
Kissing and Tobacco. —Fanny Fern in re
ply to an observation by a cotemporary, that
“ the women ought to make a pledge not to kiss
a man who uses tobacco,” very pertinently and
sensibly remarks as follows:
“So they had; but the deuce of it is, all the
handsomest men use it in some shape ! and kiss
ing is a little luxury not to be dispensed with !”
As to a female kiss, faugh ! there’s no efferves
cence in it; it’s as flat as an unmixed soda pow
■ der! If lam victimized that way, I aways take
an early application of soap and water! You
will see women practice it sometimes just to
keep their hand in—lips I mean—but it’s a
miserable substitute ! a sham article ! done half
the time to tantalize some of the male audience !
I hope to be pardoned for turning “ State’s evi
dence,” but I don’t care a pin if I ain’t. Now
kissing is a natural gift—not to be acquired by
a bungler—when we meet a gifted brother ,
“ make a note on’t,” as Captain Cuttle says.—
There’s your universal kisses, who can’t distin
guish between yours and your grandmother’s—
I there’s your philosophical, transcendental kisses,
' who goes through the motions in the air—
oh, my senses !—they say there is such a thing
as “ unwritten music,”and “unwritten poetry.”
I have my private suspicion that there are un
written kisses /”
A singular mode of betting is resorted to on
Sundays off the western waters, on which days
there is no card-playing allowed. The gam
blers sit around a table, each having before him
a lump of loaf-sugar : a stake is put up by the
players, and he upon whose lump the fly lights
first wins the‘pile.’ They also make side-bets
among themselves upon this important event,
the excitement often waxes high, as the fly ho

A Sensible “ Spirit Rapper.”— Harper’s
Magazine has a good anecdote related by a coun
try editor, whose name is not given. “We
mixed,” he says, “ lately, in a circle of rappers,
and made a dollar and a half by the operation.”
The follow message was spelled out to one of the
company:
“ Pay the Printer /”
“It was subsequently explained through one
of the mediums present, that the message was
from the spirit of a delinquent subscriber, who
owed us one dollar and fifty cents ! The friend
of the depaited paid us the money without hesi
tation ; and the joy of the relieved spirit was at
once manifested by sundry satisfied (and to us
satisfactory) raps upon the table.”

Foreign Markets.
Liverpool, July I.—We refer to our advices
per America, under date 24th ult., at which period
our Cotton markot closed quietly with a plentiful
offering. Saturday’s business opened with a good
demand in expectation that the American accounts
thon looked for would excite more activity, and
some large purchases were made early in the day.
The Arabia came up at 10 30 a. m., making the
quickest passage on record, but her advices failed
to produce the anticipated effect; nevertheless,
10,000 balos were reported to have changed hands.
On Monday the inquiry was general, although not
largo, resulting in estimated sales of 7000 bales,
without alteration in prices. Continental political
advices gave a check to the operations of Tuesday,
which were limited to 5000 bales, holders evincing
more anxiety to realize. Th e transactions on Wed
nesday were increased to 8000 bales by the tempt
ing inducements held out to purchasers. Yester
day the market assumed a more quiet aspect, and
the business was restricted to 6000 bales, th* de
mandbeing freely met with large offerings at irre
gular pricos for the more ordinary descriptions, and
tho turn in favor of buyers on the better classes.—
Speculators and exporters have taken a fair quan
tity, but do not operate with any spirit.
The total sales of the week amount 60,320 bales,
of which 710 are to speculators and 6100 to ex
porters, and include 45,280 bales of American, of
which 6400 are to speculators and 2790 to export
ers, leaving 45,510 bales of all kinks to the trade.
The import for tho same time 63,217 bales, of
which 40,417 are American.

To-day business is estimated at 8000 bales (2000
to speculators and exporters) the market closing
quietly. The Washington’s advices will be to hand
this morning.
Our produce markets are sill influenced by the
changeable advices in regard to political events;
fortunately for all classes, a general impression of
a peacoful termination to existing differences is still
entertained, and which gives a great support to our
Cotton market in particular, at the same time it is
equally evident that hoi lers are desirous of lesson
ing their interest in the article by the freedom with
which they offer their stocks, and their willingness
to meet tho demand at fair prices. In the present
varying state of affairs, it cannot boa matter of
surprise that there should prevail a great diversity
of opinion* which actuates each holder according
to his interpretation of current circumstances, and
which necossarily k con«iderable a irregularity causes.
There is no new feature observable in the Man
chester Goods market; spinners and manufacturers
are firm in their demands, and are not eager to en
ter upon long contracts, on account of the difficul
ty they experience with their work people. Tho
export houses are not doing any business worth
reporting; all are apparently waiting the result of
Eastern disputes, and feel little confidence or de
sire to increase their risks until they are sottled.
A report of serious injury from excessive rains to
the Wheat crons in Franco, and an active demand
for shipments to that quarter, has imparted much
firmness to the London Grain trade, and nfluenced
spirited inquiry at most of tho leading markets
throughout the country. Notwithstanding that a
large fleet of Wheat laden.vessols are now due at out
ports, we have experienced a spirited inquiry from
all classes, and some weighty transactions have
been entered into at an advance of 4 a 6d per 70 lbs
on Wheat and Is 5d a2s per bbl. on Flour. White
Indian Corn is also Is per qr. higher in price, but
yellow has not improved to a like extent. At to
day’s meeting a large body of operators were in at
tendance, and a good demand for all descriptions
enabled holders to obtain very full prices. The bu
siness, however, was not animated or extensive, as
during the preceding days.
Havre, June *29, P. M. — Thoro has been a dull
market to-day; the sales of Cotton amounted to
only 700 bales. Prices are about the same, as
money is attainable at low rates, but holders are
generally free sellers, while traders are reluctant to
operate, our stock being large—say .136,000 bales,
against 87,000 bales last year.

H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Linimeaw
This celebrated medicine, skilful],
composed as it is of the most healing balsams and
penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost eve.
ry affliction that could be alleviated by an exter
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini
ments is proven by the miraculous euros it perforins"
and by the great and constantly increasing de!
mand. There has been sold within the past vear
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTtES
and there can be but few persons found who do
not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare
virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the
creation of tho world, has been so successful as an
external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this
wonderful curative. When applied, it instanta.
neously diffuses itself through the whole system
soothing the irritated nerves, allaying the most
intense pains and creating a most delightful sensa
sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils.— My
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a
swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and lar
ger, till when six years old had groat difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept,
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at'
tended her but could give no relict. I took her to the
most eminent doctors in the East; they said there
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned home with her, when she became
so much worse that the doctors had to be called in
again ; thoy decided that the tonsils must bo cut
off, as the only means of giving relief. My wife
would not consent to this, and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first
application, and by a continued use she entire
ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy
and’healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc., and it will remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.
