On Friday, the exhibition was opened to the public, and was visited throughout the day by about 7,000 ladies and gentlemen, besides the exhibitors and those holding season tickets, and the receipts amounted to $3,639 00. Workmen are still busily employed in different parts of the structure, particularly in the Machine Arcade, which is, at present, only about half finished. About one-third of the exhibition stalls have been arranged, and it is thought that the exhi bition will not be complete in all its parts for about two weeks more. The total amount of space on the floor occu pied by different countries for exhibition, exclu sive of the naves, is about 152,000 square feet, of which 94,102 is on the ground floor, and 59,- 000 is in the gallery. This space is divided as follows: Ground Floor. Gallery. F.ngland 10,570 7,081 Switzerland 1,458 2,970 Zollverein 6,196 6,053 Holland and Belgium 2,916 729 Austria 1,458 729 Denmark,'Sweden and Nor way 2,916 1,315 Russia, &c 729 British Guiana and West Indies 1,093 British Colonies 2,369 3,429 The total amount of space occupied by foreign countries is 98,749 square feet. The United States contributions occupy 34,585 square feet on the ground floor, and 19,945 square feet in the gallery. The total number of exhibitors from abroad are 2,605. of whom England sends 677 : France 521 ; Switzerland 116 ; Zollverein 813 ; Holland and Belgium 155 ; Austria 100 ; Itaiy 185; Sweden and Norway 18; West Indies 3 ; Prince Edward’s Island 18 ; Nova Scotia 2. This list will be somewhat larger, from the fact that the local committees of Canada have not yet sent in their list of contributors, and it does not include quite a number from British Guiana. A small number of Turkish and other contributors are also to be added, making the sum total of foreign exhibitors not far from 2,700. In the United States department the number of exhibitors is 1,178, and applications have been received since the Ist of March, amounting to over 400, which have not been acted on for want of space. The total number of exhibitors, both foreign and American, is 4,383. DESCRIPTION OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. From the official publications of the Associa tion we compile a description of the Crystal Palace. Reservoir square, on which it is erect ed, lies at the northern extremity of the city, west of the Crotan distributing reservoir, and between that vast erection and Sixth avenue.— The Sixth avenue railroad runs directly past it; the Fourth avenue railroad runs near it; and it lies immediately in the vicinity of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth avenues—the main thorough fares of that part ol the city. The main features of the buildings are as fol lows: It is, with the exception of the floor, en tirely constructed of iron and glass. The gene ral idea of the edifice is a Greek cross, surmount ed by a dome at the intersection. Each diameter of the cross will be 365 feet 5 inches long.— There are three similar entrances; one on the Sixth avenue, one on Fortieth and one on Forty- Second street. Each entrance is 44 feet wide, and that on the Sixth avenue is approached by a flight of eight steps; over each front is a large semi-circular fan-light, 41 feet wide and 24 feet high, answering to the arch of the nave. Each arm of the cioss is on the ground plan 149 feet broad. This is divided into a central nave and two aisles, one on each side—the nave 41 feet wide, each aisle 54 feet wide. The central portion or nave is carried up to the height of 67 feet, and the semi-circular arch by which it is spanned is 41 feet broad. There are thus in effect two arched naves crossing each other at right angles, 41 feet broad, 67 feet high to the crown of the arch, 365 feet long ; and on each side of these naves is an aisle 54 feet broad, and 45 feet high. The exterior of the ridgeway of the nave is 71 feet. Each aisle is covered by a gallery of its own width, and 24 feet from the floor. The central dome is 100 feet in diameter, 68 feet inside from the floor to the spring of the arch, and 118 feet to the crown ; and on the out side, with the lantern, 149 feet. The exterior angles of the building are ingeniously filled up with a triangular lean-to 24 feet high, which give the ground plan an octagonal shape, each side or face being 149 feet wide. At each angle is an octagonal tower S feet in diameter, and 75 leet high. Ten large, and eight winding stair-cases con nect the principal floor with the gallery, which opens on the three balconies that are situated over the entrance halls, and afford ample space for flower decorations, statues, vases, &c. The ten principal staircases consist of two flights of steps with two landing places to each ; and eight winding staircases are placed in the octagonal towers, which lead also to small balconies on the tops of the towers *nd to the roof of the building. The building contains on the ground floor 111,000 square feet of space, and in its galleries, which are 54 feet wide, 62,000 square feet more, making a total area of 173,000 square feet lor the purpose of exhibition. There are thus on the ground floor two acres and a half, or exact ly 2 52-100 ; in the galleries one acre and 44- 100 ; total, within an inconsiderable fraction, lour acres. There are on the ground floor 190 octagonal cast iron columns, 21 feet above the floor, and £ inches in diameter, cast hollow, of different thicknesses, from half an inch to one inch. These columns receive the cast iron girders. These are 26J feet long and 3 feet high, and serve to sustain the galleries and the wrought iron con struction of the roof, as well as to brace the whole structure in every direction. The num ber of lower floor girders is 252, besides 12 wrought iron girders of the same height, and 41 feet span, over a part of the nave. The second story contains 148 columns of the same shape as those below, and 17 feet 7 inches high. These receive another tier of girders numbering 160, for the support of the roofs of the aisles, each nave being covered by 16 cast iron semi-circular arches, each comjiosed of 4 pieces. The dome is supported by twenty-four col umns, which go up above the second story to the height of 62 feet above the floor, and support a combination of wrought iron arches and girders, on which rest a cast iron bed plate, so construct ed as to receive the 32 ribs of the dome. The light is communicated to the dome through the lantern, as well as from the sides, on which 32 escutcheons, in colored glass, representing the arms es the Union and its several States, or the emblems of the different nations, form a part of the decoration. The building is supplied with gas and water in every part. The gas is designed for the use of the police, in protecting the property by night but is so arranged that, should it be deemed ex pedient to open the building in the evening there will be ample light. The water is acces sible at numerous points, with convenience for drinking, also for the attachment of hose, in case of Are. The general mode of erection by base pieces, columns, connecting pieces >;.nd girders, is the same w r ith that of the great Hyde Park building, but the construction of the arched nave and of the dome is of course entirely peculiar, and the general effect of the building is completely dif ferent. Electric Gas.—This is gas produced from water by means of electricity, and by which is developed for the first time, the extraordinary phenomena of burning the ( two gasses together, without the least fear of explosion, which the most scientific and learned men have heretofore deemed an impracticability. But we have wit nessed the result, and can attest its truth. The gasses produced by electricity are entirely free from smoke,have nodele'-erious noxious odor, and are free from all possibility of explosion ; each of which advantages are of so important a character as to be alone sufficieut to insure public sup port. Its production requires no expensive materials,nor are large premises necessary, whilst all existing pipes and lamps may be used if re qusite; and in the economy of production there will be a saving of at least fifty per cent upon the present cost of coal gas .—Mining Journal. ; [From the Central Georgian .] Scott Men to your Posts. The Convention which assembled in Milledge ville on the 22nd June, nominated the Hon. Chailes .T. Jenkins as their candidate for Gov ernor. At that Convention, a few Scott Whigs, by appointment, and by proxy, attended, much against the generally expressed wishes of a large portion ol the party, who mistrusted the ultimate designs of the leaders of the movement. Several prominent and influential Scott Whigs, delegates, refused to go into the Convention, af ter arriving at Milledgeville, fully satisfied that the getters up of the Convention, had for their object the overthrow' and extermination of the Whig party in Georgia. Others, however, w’ere anxious and willing to close up the breach between the two wings of the old party ; and were disposed to abide, in good faith by the nomination, as the means of doing so; —notwithstanding there were several very prominent objections to the action of the Convention ; which could not, at the time, be conveniently reached, nor the real intentions of its leaders be definitely determined by the read ing ot the Resolutions, on the occasion. Still, but for the subsequent occurrences, which have fully unmasked their designs, and but too clear ly expose an unjust, selfish, and vindictive spirit, on the part of the Webster men; and which aims at nothing short of exterminating the Whig name and principles from the State of Ceorgia, and crushing those who still adhere to them—those objections might have been over looked. The strong points of objection to the action of the Convention, and which are exceedingly dis satisfactory to the Scott Whigs, may be briefly stated as follows: First —Men were invited and encouraged to to co-operate in its deliberations, who had but recently broken up a friendly alliance, of a simi lar character, for the sake of old party associa tions, when it was w r ell known those associa tions were inimical to our best and dearest in terests. In the good faith of such men, we could have no confidence. Their principles and sympathies were not in common with us. Second —It was not attempted to be dis guised by the Webster men, or the leaders of the movement, that a decided preference was given to these men, over our higher claims to consideration and respect. This could have arisen from no other cause of offence, on our part, than a high devotion to principle, and a re tusal to follow the dictation of certain leaders, at the sacrifice of principles, which are eminent ly conservative and dear to every true hearted Whig. Third —ln the leaders of this movement, we discovered men, who have not only violated grossly the integrity of the Whig party ; but ivho, while she nursed them to her bosom, have omitted no opportunity, in the last four years,of defaming, her honor and making her name odious to the people of the State. They have now united with her ene mies, and our enemies to exterminate .her name and principles. Fourth —They pretend to be Whigs yet; it can only be for the purpose of better practising their deception upon us, until they shall have fully succeeded in their designs. For they have already, without a moment’s hesitation, aband oned name , principles , and national affiliation. They have sacrificed these, to gain their present alliance. Fisth —While they are certainly no more accountable to us for their conduct, than we are to them ; yet, their having failed, even in an expression of a desire , for a re-union ot the Scott Whigs, by this act, they have virtually refused our association , unless upon terms at once humilating and degrading. With such leaders, and such men. henceforth, we can make no terms. They have no confidence in each other. The one lacks integrity—the other a proper regard lor principle. Our only, and just course is, to withdraw, and assume the independent position ot true old line Whigs. Subsequent events furnish other reasons for repudiating this organization, which may be thus stated : Sixth —A Resolution of the Convention was intended as condemnatory of the Whig party, while it seemed to bear a literal expression of patriotic motive; by which gross deception, many have been duped into its support. Seventh —During the sitting of the Conven tion, and since its adjournment, Scott Whigs, when placing their names befoie nominating conventions, have been defrauded of the nomi nation, by the trickery and management of the Webster men ; as in the cases of the 3d and 7th Congressional Districts. Eighth —At a Ratification meeting, held in the city of Savannah, on the evening of the Bth inst., by the friends of this movement, a Resolution was passed, which casts an unjust reproach upon the Whig party ; and which clearly defines the meaning and intention of the leaders of the organization to be, the total de struction of the Whig parly and its principles in Georgia: and to ostracise those who are, and shall remain true to its great and conservative principles. And finally, that an attempt is now open ly made, to form a party upon a system of selfish, narrow, venal, local politics; isolated, and cut off from all national interests; merely to uphold and sustain certain designing leaders, whom the public mind has long since pronounc ed devoid of principle, or political integrity. That the plea for doing so is, the people of Geor gia’s “ social , moral, and intellectual interests /” A reason, which coming from the diseased brain of an inmate of a lunatic asylum, might have the semblance of reason ; but coming from the brains of men, high in public station, might rather entitle them to the sympathy of the be nevolent. To this “ Utopian ,” scheme, we see with pro found sorrow, the nominee of the Convention, giving the influence of his reputation. The justness of public sentiment, which gave fame to that reputation, might well be questioned, if it rested on this opinion alone, and under less popular circumstances. For these good and sufficient reason', it be comes our imperative duty, as Scott men of the Whig party, and all honest, firm, true-hearted Whigs, of the old line, to stand aloof from this unholy, narrow, selfish organization. To de clare openly, that on the conservative princi ples of the National Whig Platform of 1852, we will abide, through evil and through good re port. To our countrymen we have given re peated and ample proofs of firm devotion to principles and party obligations. Through all trials we have been true to them, —it now be comes our high and sacred duty to be true to ourselves. To this end, and to rescue from the vandal hands of those who would allure us but to de stroy our principles and party, let us prepare to present to the people of Georgia, an illustrious citizen, a true Whig, and a sterling patriot, for their Governor: whose heart and mind is suf ficiently capacious to embrace the great interests of the whole Union, and yet advance 14 the social, moral, and intellectual interests ” of our own glori ous State. A Scott Whig. Death of William Bell, Esq.— We record, with deep and sincere regret, the demise of this estimable man and useful citizen. He died of paralysis or apoplexy, or a combination of the two, on Monday last, at his residence, in this city. He was a Brick Mason, by trade, and ranked among the most respectable, intelligent and successful of our mechanics. Having ac cumulated a large fortune, he purchased an extensive planting interest, in St. James,’ Goose Creek, and engaged largely in brick making and the culture of rice. He served in the City Council, and was for a number of years a Commissioner in the Orphan House, in which institution and its fatherless inmates, he took a deep and beneVolent interest. For a great many years, he was a Director in the Planters & Me chanic s Bank; and continued his active useful ness, in lus various stations, in public and pri vate life, until he was suddenly struck down by the hand of disease and the scythe of death— that terrible mower, who makes no distinction of persons, but visits, with one event, the whole family of man. Mr. Bell was still in his prime, when called to meet the common doom ot mortality ; havin*» very nearly completed his 66th year. He was buried on Tuesday last, in the Cemetery of the 2d Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Ferdinand Jacobs, who officiates, during the absence of the Rev. Dr. Smyth, performing the burial service. Numerous relations and friends attended his remains to the grave, bedewing it with tears of affection, or giving other tokens ol sympathy, sorrow and respect. A widow and numerous descendants, are left to mourn his untimely end, and their great and irreparable loss. He was half brother of our highly esteemed friend, and distinguished physi cian, Dr. S. H. Dickson, now in Asheville, N. C. —Charleston Courier, 21st inst, f From the Savannah Georgian .] The Question of Slavery in the New York Legislature. The Whig journals in other States, and the Jenkins journals in this, are unfortunate in their* allusions to the late action ot the New York Legislature on the subject of slavery and the fugitive slave bill. That action, while it proves that a few professed Democrats are, in their hearts, traitors to the Constitution, establishes the same fact in relation to nearly the whole body of the representatives of the Whi* party. The following is the test resolution : Resolved , J hat the State of New York reaffirm the doctrines of the inaugural, ‘that involuntary servitude, as it exists in different States of this Confederacy, is recognised by the Constitution ; that it stands like any other admitted right, and that the States where it exists are entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the Constitutional provisions;’ that ‘the laws of 1850, commonly called the Compromise measures, are strictly Constitutional, and to be unhesitatingly carried into effectthat ‘ the constituted authorities of this Republic are bound to regard the rights of the South in this respect as they would view any other legal and Constitutional right;’ and that the laws to enforce them should be respected and obeyed—not with a reluctance encouraged by abstract opinions as to their propriety in a different state ot society, but cheerfully, and according to the decisions of the tribunal to which their exposition belongs; and that the of New York pledges her faith to the Union, that every taw adopted by the constitu ted authorities of the United States, including the fugitive slave law, shall be faithfully enforced within the limits of the State.” For this resolution, forty-three Democrats and on\y four Whigs voted : againstit, nineteen Whigs, and four professed Democrats. Os the absen tees, twenty-seven are Democrats —fourteen Whigs. Taking this very exhibit as an index of North ern sentiment, can there be any doubt as to which of the two parties the South should be united in her political associations? Can any Georgian hesitate whether to go with Johnson and the Northern Democrats, or with Jenkins and the Northern Whigs? For the question between Johnson and Jenkins reduces itself to this ; shall we sustain the party which voted for Pierce,or that which was defeated with Scott? Jenkins is in favor of keeping up his connection with the Whigs—Johnson with tha Democrats of the North. And these are the only alterna tives left any of us. For a sectional party, whether calling itself Southern Rights or Union, can not be maintained in Georgia, as is proved by the fate ol both these temporary organizations. Shall we, then, by supporting Johnson, be found in political association with Northern Democrats, led by Pierce, Buchannan, Cass and Douglass; or by supporting Jenkins, become the partizans of Scott, Corwin, Seward, and Everett. The majority of the voters of Georgia will hardly hes itate to choose as allies Northern Democrats in preference to Northern Whigs. Electricity and the Electric Light.— The thousands of holiday people who, on Mon day evening, returned by steamboat or railway via Hungerford Suspension Bridge, came unex pectedly upon an extraordinary and interesting exhibition. Two miniature suns—for so with out hyperbole we may characterize the electric lamps—one in each tower, converged there in tense rays on the centre of the bridge, and effec tually illuminated the whole of the intervening space, feebly lighted in general by about 100 gas lamps. The lights remained in continuous ope ration from nine o’clock r. in., till past midnight. Are the days of steam and gas numbered ? Elec tricity is now evidently destined to take the place of both. Os the applicability of the elec tric force as a motive power, as a substitute for steam in every branch of industry and enterprise, and as a source of illumination for streets, public buildings, lighthouses, mines, railway-tunnels, bridges, diving bells, &c., some practical men of science have never doubted; but until recent discoveries had exhibited the economy of “ this wonderful power,” by making its production economically profitable, the man of business had not contemplated its application to the daily purposes ot life. The inventions ofDr Watson, the basis of the intended operations of the Electric Power and Color Company, it is said, have now removed the only obstacle to the universal use of electri city, and to its immediate application to locomo tion, mechanical arrangements of all kinds, na vigation, chemical decomposition and illumina tion. For while, in ordinary galvanic instru ments, the outlay in the destruction of metals is altogether unproductive—absolutely wasteful —every shilling’s worth of material used in Dr. Watson’s batteries returns ftaif-a-crovvn in the shape of valuable pigments, (which can be sold pure and unadulterated at a lower price than the adulterated articles in the market,) bleaching powder, and other commercial pro ducts readily saleable. We are, indeed, inform ed that contracts can at once be entered in to for the profitable disposal of all that the com pany can produce in the shape of chromes and Prussian blue, and that these contracts represent an actual demand to the extent of £40,000 per annum for the Russian market alone. As regards the mechanical perfection with which the illuminating process is applied it is sufficient to advert to the fact that the Great Northern Railway Terminus at King’s Cross, extending 500 yards in length and usually lighted up by 250 gas burners, was completely and con tinuously illuminated by two electric lamps placed at one extremity, for several hours, du ring which the gas lamps were extinguished. By this light alone the trains entered and de parted during the evening, and so intense was the brilliancy that the smallest print might be read with facility at the remote extremity opposite to the source of light. In the same manner as we have already mentioned, two lamps, one in each tower of Hungerford Sus pension bridge, lighted that thoroughfare for several entire evenings from nine x*. m., till past midnight, completely “paling the inef fectual fires” of nearly 100 gas lamps. Several perfectly efficient motive power engines have been constructed, and are now in existence, adapted to be worked by electricity, but the cost of that power has hitherto precluded their employment for any practical purpose. The economical solution of the question being attained, who can say that the wonderful inven tions of Watt will not be, to a vast extent, su perseded by those of Watson? The various other uses t 8 which this new power can be made subservient embrace the desulphurization of coke (of which 6000,000?. worth is consumed yearly by railway companies alone), telegraph ing, electrotyping, smelting, and the manufac ture of steel. With such extraordinary advan tages and elements of success—considering that, as regards only one application of the electric power, that of illumination, no less than 11,000,- 000?. sterling are now invested in supplying gas to London, Birmingham, Liverpool, and the other cities and towns ol England, it may be that the Electric Power and Color Company must, to their own enrichment, speedily revolu tionise the world of arts and industry.— London Record. Barnwell Plank Road. —We would call the attention of our citizens to the notice in an other column of a meeting to be held on Satur day, the 30th inst, at Matlock Methodist Church, Beach Island. This is a matter ot considerable interest to Hamburg, and is intended to carrv out the pro ject of a Plank Road to Downers Red House.— Our Beach Island and Barnwell friends are ready to meet us and join hands, heads and purses to complete this work. We learn also that our Granite ville neighbors feel great interest in the project, and propose joining with a view to a branch road from the main tract to their prosperous and delightful village. These things ought to stimulate the people of our town to re newed exertion. It is true our resources may be somewhat exhausted by the large out lay in completing the Plank Road to Edgefield, and that still a heavier draw will be made by the lib eral subscriptions to stock in the River Valley Railroad. But something may be done also to wards the Barnwell Plank Road. As an earn est of our intentions and as a mark of our appre ciation of the desire manifested by our Beach Island neighbors to become more nearly identi fied with us, let a large and respectable number of our citizens attend the meeting of the 30th.— If we carry but little money into the project, let us show by enthusiasm that we are a wise if not a rich people. —Hamburg Republican. Death of Gen. Shorter. —We have received the melancholy intelligence of the sudden death, by Apoplexy, of Gen. R. C. Shorter, of Eufaula, c \° r man y years a distinguished and use ul member of society, his loss will be greatly y y the community in which he has so long lived. —Columbus Times. Rrjiuhlir. _ aikhTstaVga. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 22. FOR GOVERNOR, HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Os Baldwin County. By reference to the advertisement, it will be seen that the passage on the steamship State of Georgia, between Savannah an Phila delphia, has been reduced to S2O. Death of Mrs. Forsyth. We find in the Columbus Times &r Sentinel of the 20th inst., the following painful announce ment. Every line of this tribjte to the virtues of the deceased, will meet a heart-felt response in this community, with which Mrs. Forsyth was a long time identified, and where she is remembered with affection and veneration by all who mingled in the social circles of which she was so bright an ornament: It is with feelings of deep sorrow and profound sympathy with the bereaved relatives, that we announce the death on Sunday morning last, of Mrs. Clara Forsyth, widow of the Hon. John Forsyth, aged 69 years. This venerable lady, so long known and esteemed in our community for all the virtues of the Christian—her sympathy with the distressed—her kindness to the poor— her private and domestic virtues endearing her to a large circle of kindred and friends, produces a feeling of gloom which leaves us unsolaced, but in the reflection that her life was well spent, and at a green old age, with her children and friends around her, she has bid adieu to this life to reap her reward in a brighter and better world. For many years, Mrs. Forsyth has mingled in the social circles of Georgia, the honored and loved relict of her distinguished husband, who, when he was taken from us, lelt us more endear ed to his widow, as having shared with him through a long and eventful life the honors and fatigues which public stations involve. Regard ed wherever she went with respect and venera tion, she endeaied all to herself by a refinement and sympathy ot deportment graced with a Christian charity and meekness that makes the lovely more loved, and the good the more re vered. The funeral sermon was preached Monday morning by the Rev. Mr. Scott, of the Episco pal Church, of which she had long been a con stant and devoted member. Tho Scott Whigs vs. the Republican Citizens. Our readers will find in our columns this morning the article of “A Scott Whig,” publish ed in the Central Georgian , which was referred to in the paragraph which we copied yesterday from that paper. It seems there is a disposition among the old line Whigs, who have steadfastly adhered to their party and its platform, to repudiate the ac tion of the “ Republican Citizens' ’ who are aim ing to construct from the materials of the origi nal old panel Georgia Whigs a new party and to divide the offices thereof, to suit the personal views of the Webster Whigs who raised last year the bannerof revolt against Gen. Scott and the National Whig party. If Gen. Scott was not good enough for the fastidious tastes of these gentlemen—not good enough especially for Mr. Jenkins, who felt at liberty to repudiate him while finding no fault with the platform on which he stood—the Scott Whigs may feel at equal liberty to. consult their own tastes, and repudiate Mr. Jenkins. This will be returning a Roland for an Oliver. The Webster Whigs have no right to complain of this. They set the example ot repudiation. It was right in their estimation then ? Why is it not equally right for Scott Whigs to obey their own con victions in the same way. It is a bad rule that does not work both ways. As the Scott Whigs form a large majority of the Whig party of Georgia, it may be reasonably expected that they can concentrate on their nominee for Governor a much more formidable vote than the paltry 5200 hundred bestowed on Mr. Jenkins, for Vice President last November. Delicious Figs. —We are indebted to Mr. Jacob Danforth, of this city, for a few blue figs, the largest we ever saw, and the sweetest we ever shut down upon. This healthy and de licious fruit, was always a favorite with us, and we shall hereafter feel less inclined than ever to consider a Jig as a mere trifle, as it is sometimes in common parlance spoken of. To the same gentleman, we are indebted for a curious and most beautiful specimen of honey comb, of the richest straw color, thin and fan like in shape and tapering from its base to a point. It can be seen at our office and is quite a curi osity. The mortality in New York during the past week, was greater than known before this sum mer. The number of deaths as stated in the city Inspector’s report, was 564, which is an increase of 26 on the previous week. Os these, 45 were caused by consumption ; 84 by cholera infantum ; 53 by convulsions; 41 by diarrhoea ; 36 by de bility ; 28 by marasmus ; and 16 by inflamma tion of the bowels. For the week ending Saturday noon, 58 deaths occurred in Boston, being nineteen less than the previous week, and much below the average of the present season of the year. Only 8 deaths from consumption have taken place, which is an unusually small number. Thirty-two of the deaths were of children under five years of age ; seven were fifty and upwards, and two eighty and upwards. The health of Boston will com pare favorably, says the Traveller, at the present time, with that of any Atlantic city. The total value of the foreign exports from Baltimore for the week ending on Thursday was $213,914. The export of breadstufls for the week has been light, comprisisg but 5,144 barrels of flour, 695 barrels of corn-meal, and 450 bushels of corn. Os tobacco, 3,423 hogsheads were exported ; making the total export of the year 26,284 hogsheads, against 20.281 to the same time last year. The Pope’s Government has prescribed a certain form of hats, now quite common at Rome, and which are believed to have a politi cal meaning. The police proceeded to the hat stores and seized all the hats of this peculiar shape. They did more; for as they passed along the street, if they saw a person wearing one of the proscribed chapeaus, they seized it, leaving the owner to proceed bareheaded to his home. Mr. Frederick A. Beelen, Secretary of Lega tion to the Central American Mission, is en route for New Orleans, there to join the Hon. Solon Borland. Mr. Beelen takes with him Mr. Bor land’s instructions, on the receipt of which Mr. B. will sail directly for San Juan in the frigate Columbia, the flag ship of the home squadron. We have seen several attempts to get at the derivation of the term “Old Fogie,” but none so successful as the following from the Wheeling (Ya.) Times: — “ We have been examining the etymology of the word “Fogie,” and think it should be spelled “ Fogge” and pronounced “ fog.” It is a Scotch word s ; gnifying the old grass that lies on the meadows obstructing the growth of the young spring blades. It is very appropriately applied to those who oppose progress.” i BY TELEGRAPH Reported for the Constitutionalist ic Republic. L ATKR FROM EUR POE. ARRI V A L . OF THE STEAMER F RAN KL I N. Charleston, July 22. The steamship Franklin arrived on Tuesday. Liverpool Cotton Market. —Sales 25,000 bales, of which 5.000 to speculators and 6,000 to exporters. The demand was fair. Trade at Manchester remained unchanged. Flour had advanced 30d. in Liverpool during the week ; wheat 4d. to 6d.; Corn 2s. The market was greatly excited. Consols are quoted at 98L General European News. The Russians had crossed the Pruth at two pionts. Caladt reached Liverpool on the 3d. A Cabi net Council was held on the 2d, at which it was decided that the French and English fleets should enter the Dardanelles as countermore to the Russian occupation of the Danubian prov inces. It was believed that Jassy had been captured by the Russians, though it is denied by the Austrian Minister. The Paris Moniteur, received an official des patch from St. Petersburg, decreeing the occu pation of Moldavia and Wallachia. Warlike preparations continue in Turkey on an exten sive scale. Forty-four vessels were arming at the Arsenal, and all the militia were ordered out. The Prince of Servia placed forty-five thousand men, at the disposal of the Sultan. It was reported that Austria would act with France and England, in consequence of the oc cupation of Moldavia. Prusia maintains neu trality.

Orders were received at the Chincha Islands, May 31, from Lima, to clear all American ships from Islands, with cargoes of guano, without going to Callao. This is a wise regulation of the Peruvian Government, as it tends to reduce the cost of guano on ship-board, by relieving the vessels from the loss of time in returning to Callao for clearances. The brig Zebra from New Orleans, which put into Savannah last February, on account ol a fearful mortality among her passengers and crew after leaving Mississippi, arrived at Mon rovia on the 28th of March, in forty days from Savannah. There was no further sickness on board after the vessel left Savannah, and her ninety-three emigrants reached the republic in good health. The Gardiner trial will probably be again post poned indefinitely, owing to the fact that the Commissioners sent to Mexico to inquire about his mines have not been heard from since they left Tampico for Leguinillas. They were to have been back by the 15th inst. The Telegraph is still out of order north of this city, but we hope that operations will be shortly resumed, as we are aware that the new administration, into whose hands the affairs of the Company have fallen, are sparing neither time or money to have the damages that have occurred to the wires repaired in a substantial and durable manner. Mr. Mowery, the Presi dent, has also gone, we believe, personally to in spect the repairs, and trusts speedily to have the line in good working order.— Charleston Courier , 21 st inist. Various attempts have been made of late to throw the cars oft'the track on the Harlem Rail road, at or near Searsdale Station, twenty-nine miles from New York, all of which providential ly failed. A watch was finally established, and the result has been that one day, or rather evening, last week, a short time before the down train was due, 9J P. M., a man emerged from the woods, and having rolled down a large sleeper upon the track, commenced to fasten it firm ly in its place , by means of stakes, evidently de termined that this time there should be no es cape. The w’abchman sprang upon the villain and caught him in the act. He was immediate ly conducted to the County Jail at White Plains, where he awaits trial. When interrogated, he refused to make any replies whatever. His name is yet unknown.— Charleston Courier , 21 st inst. Subscriptions to Stock. —We have the high gratification of announcing to our readers that over three hundred thousand dollars have been subscribed to the stock of the Savannah River Valley Railroad, at three of the points where books were opened, viz : Hamburg, Wood Lawn and Dorn’s Told Mine. When it is re flected that the books were opened at five other places on the line, not yet heard from, and that only $500,000 is required to secure the charter and organize the Company, the friends of the en terprise will be ready to join with us in con gratulations, one to another, and in sending up a loud huzza for Edgefield, Abbeville and Ander derson. The leaders in this grand enterprise have as yet confined their efforts to these three Districts, believing that they would save the charter. Their confidence has not been mis placed, and the great honor will now redownd to the citizens of the River Valley—the bene fits to the country at large. While they have been thus confidently relying upon the river •valley people, their contemplated work has not, asjit could not,fail to attract attention from other quarters. Cities, Corporations and Capitalists begin to look with interest upon the project. Our neighbor, Augusta, who but lately regarded the scheme as chimerical and having had its ■origin in a manoeuver of the South Carolina Railroad Company, begins to take a different view. —Hamburg Republican. The Jews. —The Rev. Mr. Duffield. of De troit, who has spent the winter in the East, in a letter from Jerusalem, says : One of the most affecting sights I have wit nessed during my travels was encountered yes terday, p. m. I repaired to the appointed spot to hear the lamentations of the Jews over their desolated temple and scattered nations. The site of the ancient temple is now occupied by the Mosque ol Omar. No Christian or Jew is allowed by the Mus selmen to enter its precincts. The nearest ap proach that the Jews can make to it is to the large and massive stones of the wall which Solomon built from the bottom of the narrow valley or ravine called the Tyropean, for the purpose of sustaining and forming the terrace or arches, which were built from the faoe of the rock on its four sides, and on which the temple on Mount Moriah was originally constucted. It saw thirty-five Jews, standing or seated, near these stones, all of them bowing, and rest lessly swinging to and fro, while they read their Scriptures in the Hebrew, and some weeping bitterly as they uttered their wail of distress. One man sobbed as if his heart was ready to break, while he stood reading and trembling with emotion in his whole frame. Women! with white scarfs thrown over their heads, pass ed mournfully along the wall; some kissed the stones with their lips, others laid their hands on them, and then kissed their hands, whilst most sat or squatted in a Turklike position, reading parts of their liturgy in Hebrew. I ventured with a courteous salutation, to look upon the page, from which an aged man was quietly reading. He politely pointed his finger to the place. He was reading the 58th, 59th and 60th Psalms, The whole scene was so deeply moving, exhibiting in such a powerful light the sad reality of the Jews’ great national sorrow, and caused such a rush of solemn thoughts in my mind, that I was quite overcome by it. The Little one is Dead. Smooth tho hair, and close the eyelids, Let the window curtains fall; With the smile upon her features, She hath answered to the call. Let the children kiss her gently, As she lies upon the bed, God hath called her to his bosom. And the little-one is dead.
