J., Sept. 6.—The Court of Bish ops re-assemoled this morning, and after prayer by Bishop Polk, of La., proceeded with the case of Bishop Doane. Before the court adjourned yesterday, after de ciding not to admit the commsitee of the New Jersey Diocese, Bishop Bronnell, one of those who voted in the negative, as would appear, on the ground that he deemed it illegal to admit a third party, (not the Bishop,) yet willing to hear the Diocese, moved that the court hear the Dio cese through the respondent, Bishop Doane. This motion was the first business in order this morning, when the court again excluded the respondent and prosecuting Bishops whilst de liberation was had on the motion. The vote yesterday on the rejection of the mo tion to admit the Diocese was as follows:—Yeas, Bishops Kemper of Wisconsin, McCoskry of Michigan, Delaney of Western New York,Whit tingham ot Maryland, Chase of New Hamp shire, Upfold of Indiana, Greene of Mississippi, Rutledge of Florida, and Wainwright—nine. Nays—Bishops Brownell of Connecticut, Hop kins of Vermont, Smith of Kentucky, Polk of Louisiana. Elliott of Georgia, Lee of Delaware, Johns (assistant) of Virginia, Eastman of Mas sachusetts, Potter of Pennsylvania, Otey of Ten nessee, Williams (assistant) of Connecticut, Freeman of Texas—twelve. In regard to the memorial by 130 persons,sup posed to be members of the Diocese of New Jer sey, an explanation is necessary. Bishop Meade, in his speech on Saturday, alluded to the memo rial as having impelled him to make a present ment. Bishop Doane, in reply, said that he and his friends had heard of it, but never had been able to see it, or ascertain the names by which it was said to be signed. They accordingly be lieved them to have been clandestinely obtained. He demanded to see the memorial, as a right. Bishop Meade replied, that he should have them, but on the court meeting yesterday morn ing he declined lurnishing the memorial, on the ground that Bishops Burgess and Mcllvaine ob jected. When the prosecuting Bishops made their argument yesterday, and submitted the le gal opinion of John C. Spencer, they did not an nounce the name of the author, but said it was the opinion of a distinguished jurist. Bishop Doane demanded the name of the author. The prosecution refused to give it. Bishop Doane then appealed to the court and was sustained.— The prosecution then announced Mr. Spencer as the author Bishop Doane then charged them with having violated the canon which prohibits prosecutors from having counsel, unless the re spondent is allowed the same advantage. The debate was continued until noon without com ing to any decision. [second despatch.] Camden, Sept. 6.—The court of Bishops final ly took a vote on the proposition for hearing the Diocese of New Jersey through the respondent, and the motion was lost—yeas 10, nays 11. A resolution was then unanimously adopted, giving Bosnop Doane permission to read any document on his own responsibility, but not as coming trom a third party. Bishop Doane then went into court and asked whether such documents as he might read would be entered on the journal. This question was not decided at a late hour this evening |third despatch.] Philadelphia, Sept 6—l learn that in the Court ot Bishops the motion that the diocese of New Jersey be heard through Bishop Doane was not voted down, but was withdrawn by the mover, Bishop Brownell. Bishop Johns then proposed an order that the court entirely recognise the right of Bishop Doane to lay before the couit the results of inves tigations caused to be made by the diocese of N. Jersey into the truth of the charges made in the former presentment. The motion was rejected by a tie vote. Bishop Elliott offered an order that at this or any subsequent stage of the proceedings, the court will cheerfully hear from the respondent the results of the investigation by the diocese of New Jersey into the charges. Adopted unani mously. Bishop Doane said that while he was thank fur for small favors, be regarded this as none at all, and considered the action altogether as a re- ? jection of his diocese. Before proceeding with his argument on the second motion proposed by him, that the pre sentment be dismissed, Bishop Doane put the question, 4, 1 s it the meaning of the order just a dopted that respondent may now present to the court the papers prepared by the committee of his diocese, together with the testimony and acts of the Convent on, and that said matters will be entered upon the journal? 7 ’ After private deliberation, the court replied, “That it would hear respondent read any paper prepared by the commiitee of the diocese, and enter said testimony and acts upon the journal. Adopted—yeas 16, nays 4. The court then ad journed until Wednesday. Philadelphia, Sept 7.— The court of Bishops - re-assembled at Camden this morning. After debate a motion to rescind so much of the order of the court which permitted the respondent to read the evidence taken by his dioces, was re jected. After a long secret session on order was pass ed, setting forth that the court distinctly declares that it does not recognfze any right in the con vention of the diocese of New Jersey to appear as a party before this court. Bishop Doane was then admitted, together with his presenters, and made a speech on his motion that the presentment be dismissed. He also read thp report of the committee of the dio cese protesting against the present action of the court. Having concluded, the court was again cleared to deliberate, pending which an adjourn ment was carried till to-morrow. ( The German Turner’s National Festival I AT IVew York.— The German Turners are now 1 enjoying their annual festival at New York On 5 Mondry mowing at 7J o’cbck, the Turners of. Now York assembled at their headquarters in rational Hall where the sneaker of the Balti more I urner Society, Mr. Moser, presented the Turners of New York with a beautiful silver horn, as a token of respect for their achieve ments in the cause, on the part of the Turners ot Baltimore. The speaker accompanied the gift with a few appropriate remarks, saying that it w T as the wish of all those whom he represented I that, when this horn called them either to the defence of the liberties of this country, or for the obtaining of those of the land of their childhood, the Turners, to whom this present was being made by their brethren, would readily and cheerfully follow the lead. May it be a sign of courage in the hour of danger: a sign of victory after battles. The Turnwaits (manager) of the Society of New York, Mr. Denzler, accepted the horn in the name of his brethren, making few remarks in answer to the patriotic words of the speaker from Baltimore. A procession half a mile long was then form ed and, accompanied by four bands of music, they proceeded to the cars, which conveyed them to the Harlem Pleasure Gardens. A large number of delegations from the distant cities were present. Louisville, Ky., was even repre sented. At the Gardens an address was deliv ered, and various gymnastic feats were per formed. The Tribune says : After these exercises were over, the Turners dispersed all over the Garden, and imbibed free ly of the refreshments at the different stands, but no liquor was sold, and we did not observe one drunken man ; on the contrary, all enjoying themselves in a social manner as much as the prevailing h-at would allow. In the course of the day a great many people, mostly Germans, but also some Ameiicans, men women and children, rode up to the Garden, and we presume that at four o’clock in the afternoon not less than five thousand persons were present. The whole garden was like a camp. Groups of singers were spread all over it, and when the Glee Club commenced the song— “Frei wiedes adlers maecntige Gafahie,” the hearts of ail present beat in joyful emotion. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon, the Turners of the other cities took a frugal dinner—the New Yorkers chosing individually their own time and convenience. After the dinner was over, the gymnastic performances commenced anew, and were again carried out remarkably well. About 6 o’clock the Turners assembled at the calling of the Turnwart’s horn, and after having tormed in procession, made their way to the city. Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock they were to wait upon the Mayor and Common Council. [Frotn Rode's U. IS. Advertiser, Sept. Is?.] The Dry Goods Market. There has been a very fair trade during the month, both in Domestic and Foreign Goods Prices have ruled steady. The difficulties of the money market had no immediate effect on the trade, as it was singularly well supplied with money from the steadiness of its own returns.— Its receipts were large, and fewer acceptances of country customers had to be renewed than usual. Stocks are not large, even of Foreign Goods, though the importations have been large and mostly entered for consumption—few going into I store. The consumption of the country is very | large and extended, and requires increased im j ports for its supply. The sure mark of there be : ing no goods in material excess is that holders are firm in price. At the close, and as we write, ! the demand is increasing; and September will prove a very active month. Jobbers were never so busy—never so pleased with their present and prospective trade—and never more flush of ; money than they are now. We particularize as follows: domestics. ; Brown Sheetings and Shirtings are not in great stock. Favorite styles are rather in scan ty supply, and in quick demand.

There is no stock. Strip s and Ticks are in good assortment, with a good home demand, at steady prices.

A Thrilling Scene. —A few days since, as | the express train tor Baltimore was passing the vicinity of Naaman’s ereek, at the rate of torty miles an hour, a horrifying sight was witnessed by those having charge of the train. A man, apparently a fisherman, inhabiting one of the shanties dose by, who was laboring under mania a potu, had thrown himself upon tne rails for the purpose of selfdestruction ; but two females hav ing drawn him off, were engaged in a dreadful struggle to prevent his again throwing himself betore the train. One had a deadly grip of his legs, while the ether was kneeling on his breast as the iron horse went thundering by, just graz ing her clothing; indeed, so close was she that her own escape from instant death was most im : inent. The whole scene occupied but an in stant, and scarcely any of the passengers were awaieof the calamity that had been impending. Those who witnessed it were horror struck, knowing the impossibility to prevent the de struction of all three if tin maniac succeeded in struggling only a few inches nearer the rail.— Phila. Ledger. Shipwreck and Great Loss of Life. —The British ship Nessree was chartered at some Dort in India, in April last, to convey a number of pil grims (who were returning, after a lengthened pilgrimage through Arabia, to various parts of India) on a voyage to Bombay. She was fitted up accordingly, and, on taking her departure, had, besides the crew, no fewer than 400 people on board ; also, a valuable cargo. On the night of the 17th of June she encountered a terrible gale. rhe passengers, ascertaining she was driving ashore, became frantic, and attempted to escape by the boats. The attempt, as may be imagined, proved fatal. A tremendous rush cap sized them and at least sixty perished. The de struction of the ill-fated vessel soon followed shortly after midnight she struck, and the next minute her masts, with at least 100 of the un happy creatures clinging to the rigging, gave way and fell overboard. The occupants were either crushed to death or perished by drowning In the course ot a few hours the vessel entirely broke up, and the whole oi the remaining pass engers and crew were plunged in among the breakers. Great sacrifice ot life followed. Out o! the 450 souls who were alive the night previ ous, all, with the exception of 94, perished.— Ihe 94 survivers were washed ashore on frag ments of the wreck. The New York papers mention a report that a distinguished financier of that city has left •uddenly lor Europe, and also hint that he is a defaulter. Chinese Food. —A writer on China mentions that the modes of’ living among the Chinese are exceedingly curious, differing materially accor ding to the rank and wealth of the people ; but that the extremes of luxury and misery are n® where more ludicrously contrasted. Those who can afford to purchase rare and expensive delica dies, grudge no cost for them, as is proved by the price paid for edible bird s nests, (glutons com positions, formed by a kind of swallow, in vast clusters, found in caves in the Niobar and other Islands.) SSOO being someties given for a picul, weighing 135 pounds and three quarters.— In the streets multitudes of men are employed in preparing these for sale, with a pair of tweezers, plucking trom them every hair,or fibre of feather, or extraneous matter; and at the same time care fully preserving the form of the nests by pushing through them very slendor strips of bambo.— Shark’s fins are highly prized, and when dried they fetch a great price. The beche de-a-mer, (a horrid looking black sea-slug) brought from the Pacific Islands, is exceedingly esteemed by Chinese epicures. But while the rich fare thus sumptuously, the mass of the poor subsist on the veriest gerbage. The heads of fowls, their entrails, their feet, with worms, sea reptiles of all kinds, rats, and other vermin, are greedily devoured. We have noticed lots of black frogs, in half dozens, tied together, exposed tor sale in shallow troughs of water. We have seen the hind quarters of a horse hung up in a butcher’s shop, with the re commendation of a whole leg attached. A lod ger in our hotel complains, that his bedroom be ing over a kitchen, he is grievously annoyed in the morning by the noise of dogs and cats, which are slaughtered below for the day’s con sumption—but not at our table. Not a bone or green leal is ever seen in the streets; some use is found tor eveiything that would be refused elsewhere. Officers’ Pensions.— A pension question Os some interest is understood to be pending before the Secretary of the Interior, viz : whether an applicant who is breveted for gallantry, in an action in which he receives the wound for which he is to be pensioned, is entitled to be pensioned at the rank which he held when wounded, or at the brevet rank conferred on him by the Presi dent, to date back to the day of the action above mentined ? There are many such cases growing out of the Mexican war, the applicants in all of them contending, of course, for the greater rates of pension, which would be due under the in creased rank. It strikes us however, that there is nothing in the law to justify pensioning them at a higher rank than that in which they may have actually served when receiving the wound. [Washington Star. The Crystal Palace.— lt is said thatthe di rectors of the Crystal Palace, following the suc cessful example of the American Institute, have determined to add instrumental music to the other attractions of the exhibition, and that Dodworth’s popular band have been engaged to play nightly. The exhibition will close in De cember. Death of Admiral Cockburn.— Among the items of news brought by the last steamer, is a notice of the death of Admiral Sir George Cock burn, of the British Navy. He died at Leaming ton on the 19th of August, at the advanced age of eighty-two. Those who remember the late invasion of this country, by Great Britain, will not fail to recollect the outrageous—outrages which reflected the deepest disgrace on the British Nation—committed under the authority, and even in many cases under the personal su pervision of this British naval commander. He was styled, during the time he remained in the waters of Virginia, the “ Scourge of the Chesapeake,” as it was duiing this period that the Commodore burned the houses and rob bed the henroosts of all who lived near enough to the shore to be visited by the marauding par ties despatched by him. At Washington, among other unpardonable atrocities, he mutilated a small monument erected to the memory of those gallant men who stormed Tripoli and Algiers, and reduced to submission the pirates of the Mediterranean—a feat from which British com merce derived even more benefit than that of this country. The account of his death in the Londan Times is accompanied by a detail of the services he had rendered his country, and of the many favors he had received from the Crown. He was evident ly a man of talent and of great naval prowess, and it is with regret that we are compelled to notice the smallness of acts in the Chesapeake —actions utterly at variance with the high souled gallantry claimed for the officers ot the British Navy.— Baltimore American. The Printers Ten Commandments. 1. Thou shat love the printer—for he is the standard of thy country. 2. Thou shalt subscribe to his paper—for he seeketh much to obtain the news, of which ye may not remain ignorant.. 3- Thou shalt pay for his paper—for he la boreth hard to give ye the news in due season. 4. Thou shalt advertise—that he may be able to give ye the paper. 5. Thou shalt touch nothing that may give the printer trouble—that he may not hold thee guilty. 6. Thou shalt not borrow thy neighbor’s pa per, for thereby thou wrongest thy neigbor and the printer too. 7. Thou shalt not read the manuscript in the hands of the Compositor—for he will hold thee blameful. 8. Thou shalt not seek the news before it is printed—for he will give it you in due time. 9. Thou shalt ask him but few questions of things in the office— from it, thou shalt tell nothing. 10. Thou shalt not send abusive and threaten ing letters to the editor. The w riter of the above decalogue seems to have omitted three very important com mandments, which we take the liberty of ap pending. 11. Thou shalt prepoy thy postage in all cases upon the very reasonable supposition that it is easier for you to pay three cents, than it is for the editor to pay five. 12. Thou shalt write legibly all articles for publication, carefully crossing thy t’s and dot ting thy i’s, lest thou shalt give the printer trou ble, and thereby merit his displausure. 13. Thou shalt not take the paper for eighteen months, and then leave it iu the office to be re turned by the Postmaster, marked “refused,” and when asked‘o pay for it, excuse yourself by saying you never sub«cribee for it. Any one keeping strictly rhe above command ments, can have the “right of way” to our office whenever he chooses, besides the piivilege of the “arm chair” and the perusal of halt a dozen of our exchanges. —Yorkville (S. C .) Remedy. A Happy World.— This is happy world— who says to the contrary is a fool, or "something worse. There is everything to make us happy. The land, the sea, and sky contribute to our en joyment. The man who has a good heart sees pleasure where a bad person beholds nothing but gloom. The secret, then, in being happy and enjoying this world is to possess a virtuous heart. Who is the most cheerful and contented man in your neighborhood ? It is he who has nothing but a kind heart. Nothing rufles his temper or disturbs his repose. The morning sky, the evening cloud, rolling waters, the bloom ing landscape, the teeming forests, and fields of snow, give him pleasures others never dream of. It is he whose mind is “led from nature up to nature’s God,” and every day that he lives is as contented and happy as it is possible tor man to be. Depend upon it, the world is a beautiful one and contains a thousand sources of enjoyment which they can only see and feel whose hearts are pure,and whose lives correspond to the word of Eternal Truth. Affection —We sometimes meet with men and women who think that any indulgence in affectionate feelings is evidence of weakness. They move among their children and dying friends with the coldness and heartlessness of an iceberg. There is not a more unnatural or in human sight on earth than man or woman given over to the hardness of their hearts. Parents had better pluck out their children’s eyes than their hearts. Who that has ever experienced the love of a brother or sister, or the joys of friend ship, and values their sympathy and affection, would rather be deprived of seeing all that is beautiful in nature than be robbed of the hidden treasures of the heart? Let us cherish the best affections of the heart, and indulge in the warm and gushing emotions of filial, parental, and bro therly love. Call not the sympathetic tear weakness. Our Saviour wept for those he loved. God is love. Love God and all his creatures. — Love everything that is lovely. Teach your children to love God, to love their patients, to love their brothers and sisters, to love the rose, and everything that is lovely, AUGUSTA, GA. SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER U.

We have had quite a spell of wet weather within the past day or two, and as will be seen by our report under the commercial head, the river has risen fourteen leet since yesterday afternoon, making 20 feet water in he channel; and when we went to press last evening, it was rising at the rate of six inches per hour, and every prospect of more rain. It has been rain ing in the upper counties for the past three or four days, and will do much damage to the Cot ton crop, if it does not wash away the Corn crops on bottom lands. At Kingston on Friday, and for several days previous, heavy rains fell. We learn the rains in that section of Cherokee were general and heavy. This will account for the small number present at the Mass Meeting at Kingston. We understand the speaking was all done within doors. Low Down Demagogueism. We have seen no more striking evidence of the petty shifts to which the Whig press in Georgia is reduced in its warfare against Gen. Pierce’s Ad ministration, than the following, taken from a late number of the Columbus Enquirer : What are we coming to. —A correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper, writing lrom Wash ington under date of August 22(1, relates a lact, which, in connection with other circumstances, sheds a small ray ol light on the policy and practices of the men now in power. Is it true that a negro is employed in a Government Office and enjoys the profits of a place which was in tended only for the tree white citizens of this country? And what will be the apology for this ? As is said hereabouts, that the abolition ists supported Pierce, and he ought, therefore, to reward them, we suppose it will be now argued that this is a free negro, that somewhere voted for him, and is, therefore, entitled to office.— What say our former fire-eating friends to the extract below; and what do the citizens of Georgia think ol it ? If these things are done in the green tree, what may the South expect in the dry ? It ought not to astonish any thinking man if the notorious Fred. Douglas is sent as Minister to Hayti, or some other negro concern, before the end ol another year. “ A friend says that some days ago, he had a bill against an individual for professional services rendered by another, and set out to find his resi dence, that the money might be collected. He inquired in almost every direction in the North ern Liberties, but without avail, until he hap pened to accost a black woman, who was well acquainted with the person alter whom search was being made, for he was her husband. Our friend had thought that the debtor was a white gentleman. ‘ Where is your husband?’ asked he. ‘At de ofifus.’ ‘What office ?’ His offus.’ Our informant now presumed that the negro was a professional bootblack, or barber ; but hav ing received specific directions, he at length found his customer, at ‘de offus’ in the Patent Office building—he being a government em ployee and receiving a salary which many a poor white man would be glad to have for ren dering similar services.” Now the story itself bears internal evidence that this government employee, was some negro employed to sweep rooms, fill the buckets and pitchers with water, wash windows and door steps, run on errands, or do some other menial service, which, in this part of the Union, white men are not very ambitious of performing. It may be true, and is doubtless true, that in Wash ington, though in a slaveholding District, there are poor white men who are glad to get these menial positions. The fact that this collector of bills had to hunt about the negro quarters and inquirer among the negro women after his em ployee’s debtor, proves tnat the government offi cial was not a very high official. Why did no* this “ correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper name the post held by this negro at ; de offus ?’ ” Had he done so, it would have been found, doubt less, that it was not as high in the social scale as that of “ a prolessional bootblack, or barber.” Any one who has been in the habit of visit ing Washington, must have noticed negroe em ployees in menial capacities about the Depart ments. We remember calling once on Presi dent Polk, and being received at the door, very politely, by a negro, who we presume was Gov ernment Usher for the nonce. We have no idea that he was rewarded by that position for any vote he had thrown in the Presidential election. Gen. Jeff. Davis, Secretaiy of War, that ultra anti-abolitionist and fire-eater, so obnoxious to our “ Republican Citizens ” of the Enquirer , has an elderly and respectable looking grey haired negro as his Door Keeper or Usher, at the War Drpartment. He will take a gentleman’s caid to the Secretary of War and bring back an an swer with a decorous humility that it would puzzle a white man to rival. We doubt whether even the editor of the Enquirer , southern man as he is, would ask his removal. It is an amia -le, and we think, a highly cre ditable trait in Judge Campbell, the Postmaster General, that he persists in retaining a couple hut hhi I old negroes, who have grown grey in the public service, about the General Post Office building, in humble and menial capacities, though rudely beset by some able bodied white laborers to turn them off and give the places to them selves. We confess to that southern taste that would prefer being waited on by the negroes. We are glad to perceive that Judge Campbell, and pro bably all the other heads of Departments, de cline yielding to that persecuting prejudice and | hostility exhibited by the northern people ! a o®hist the negro race. This hostility is no where stronger than among the abolitionists.— I hey, with ail their pseudo negro-philism, will see a negro turned out of employment and starve to death rather than work by the side of him. Our sympathy is all on the side ot the poor negtos, and not with their hypocritical persecu tors. K is to hoped the next humbug of the Colum bus Enquirer will be less on the Foss and Fog order. It was only last month the New York Tribune w'as pouring out the phials of its wrath upon the President for employing a white carriage driver and dressing him in a blue coat with brass but tons fastening thereby a badge of degradation upon a free born white citizen. 1 hus northern abolitionists and southern Whigs “ vie with each other in clamorous de nunciations” of our republican President. The Tournament. —A letter from the Capon Springs, Va., gives an account of a tournament which came off at that fashionable watering place a few days since. There were many “ gallant knights and ladies fair present on the occasion, and the tilting is described as very ex citing. The Knight of Stafford, a Mr. P., was the victor, and was duly crowned with the lau rel wreath. ‘‘And now,” says the account,” all is anxiety and stir among the ladies, as to whom will be offered that crown, and selected as the queen of beauty. Soon, however, he has deci ded ; the interesting Miss ,of Georgia, is he chosen one. At night followed the ball, where the young mif 6 j Was en *kroned amid garlands and flowers, Ihe dance—the waltz—music, and gaiety now rule the hour. Sweet children dressed as cupids and nymphs—the rich dresses of the knights and matrons proud, passed and repassed in the dance, like a fairy scene. A rich banquet closed the midnight hours.” We regret to learn (says the Savannah Re publican) that Mrs. Henry Jackson, mother of the Hon. Henry R. Jackson, of this city, depart ed this life on Sunday last, at Athens, Ga., after a very brief illness. Truly, “ when sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions.” Com. Tattnall. This noble son of Georgia, whose death, at Pensacola, we noticed in our last was the son of Josiah Tattnall, formerly Governor of this State, and was at the time of his death, about 55 or 60 years of age. Honorable, high-minded, and chivalrous, his useful life was adorned with all the characteristics of nature’s noblest virtues. Ardently attached to his profession, he was ever ready to assert his country’s rights or to redress her wrongs. He was at the repulse of the British at Craney Island in 1812, and was afterwards at the battle of Bladensburgh ; and during the late war with Mexico he was commander of the “ Musquito Fleet,” under the walls of Yera Cruz. On all occasions he conducted himself with bravery and gallantry. Commodore Tatt nal leaves many iriends and acquaintance in this city, whose hearts will pulsate with emo tions of sorrow on receiving the melancholy tidings of his death. The Savannah Republican says : “We pre sume that his remains will be brought to this city, and will find their last resting place in the family vault of the Tattnalls, at Bonaventure, four miles south of this city. ‘‘Peace to his ashes.” __ Health of Mobile. The Yellow Fever in Mobile seems to be on the increase. The Board of Health report 27 deaths on the 4th—22 by Yellow Fever ; and 43 deaths on the sth—32 by Yellow Fever. The U. S. ship Decatur, Commander Whittle, arrived at St. Johns, N. B. on the 16th ult.i from the coast of Labrador. She was the first United States vessel of war that the oldest in habitant of the place remembered to have seen enter that harbor. Accounts from the Cape of St. Mary’s and Labrador fisheries are far from encouraging. Large Cargo of Segars &c. —The clipper brig Adams Gray arrived at New York on Tues day from Havana, after a passage of nine days. She brings the enormous quantity of seven mil lions of segars, together with a quantity of box sugar, pine-apples, oranges, &c. Extensive Fraud. —A New York despatch, dated Sept. sth, says : A man named Gutman, well known here, and engaged for a long time as custom-house broker in this city, enjoying the full confidence of a large portion of foreign im porting houses, disappeared last Thursday mor ning, and has not since been heard of. He is in debted, it is alleged, to the Union Bank about one hundree thousand dollars. Also, to Messrs. Spies, Chust & Co., and several others, for amounts varying from $5,000 to SIO,OOO each. Re has left a wife and large ramily of children in this city. The presumption is that he has gone to Europe. The Royal Yacht Club Race. —The time of the vessels competing in the Royal Yacht Club Race at Cowes is given in detail from the English papers. The Sylvie, the American yacht, was defeated by the Julia, a British yacht, in six minutes and a few seconds. The owner of the Sylvie, has challenged the victorious ves sel for another race. Departure of Emigrants and Missiona ries to Liberia. —The barque Gm, Capt. Law lin, was to sail from New York on the Bth inst., on a trading voyage to the coast of Africa, tak ing out two Missionaries of the Old School Pres byterian Church, viz : Rev. Edwin T. Williams and William Clemens, with their wives, who go to the island of Carisco. The New York Colonization Society will send out about 100 emigrants on the 15th of October. About the same time, another expedition will leave Bal timore and Norfolk, with over two hundred emi grants. Quite a company is gathering in Cir cleville, Ohio,and in Indiaua, with the design of emigrating this fall. Commerce of Louisville. —The Louisville papers of the Ist publish the annual commercial statement of that city. The total receipts of bagging and rope during the past year have amounted to 85,795 pieces of the former, and 89,773 coils of the latter, which at a tair valua tion, are worth $1,700,000. The hog product of the season was equal to 100,000 barrels of pork, and the consumption of flour 101,340 barrels. The Report in Parliament on the Cuban Slave Trade. —The important report recently laid before the English House of Commons, by a special committee on slavery and the slave trade, alleges that the fact is notorious, that slave-tra ding vessels are fitted out in Cuba under the guns of Spanish men of war; that great facilities are afforded to the importation of negroes ; that when once landed, they are called natives, and all attempts to trace and liberate them are com monly defeated ; and these abuses have increased precisely in proportion to the bribes accepted by the |Cuban government. Up to 1840 the the Captain-General received a half a dollar for every slave imported; but Gen. O’Donnell, in 1843. succeeded in raising this fee to three doub • loons a head ; and, with the exception of Con cha, who refused the bribe, the same blood-mo ney has since been levied by every Governor Os the island. Nor does the crime stop here. The interests involved in this trade are mainly those of high and mighty personages at Madrid, who have power to obtain the recall ot any honest officer, and who contrive to keep up all the hor rors of this system to gratify their own avarice a* the expensse of humanity and of the national in terest. Commenting upon this report, the London Times discourages the folly of protecting Spain any longer in the enjoyment of her slave trade, and partially recommends that she be handed over to the tender mercies of the American filli busters. The Jackson Mississippian states that the High Court of Errors and appeals has refused to grant a re-argument of the case instituted a gainst the State by Johnson, the holder of the Union Bank bonds. The question is now fairly before the voters, whether or not appropriations shall be made by the Legislature to pay the * judgment. Pacific Railroad. —Advices received at St. Louis give authentic information that the sur veying party headed by Major Stevens, the new Governor of the Territory of Washington, sent to explore the northern route of the proposed Pacific railway, had reached Camp Cushing, ( near the mouth of the Yellowstone river, having , thus far divided into three parties, and explored 1 three separate routes. 1 Bransby Cooper.— Among the deaths re cently reported in London, we notice that of Mr_ Bransby Cooper, the eminent surgeon, nephew j and biographer of the late Sir Astley Cooper, j which occurred suddenly at the rooms of the Athenaeum Club. Sale of Manufacturing Property. —The Arkwright estate in Rhode Island was sold at auction on the Ist inst.,for $32,600 to William A. Howard. It included 108 acres of land, 51 tene ments, and all the buildings necessary to a man facturing establishment, except the mills, which had been destroyed by fire. The fall is 23 feet on the north-west branch of the Patuxet river and the milffe when in opetation contained 8,000 spindles. The New York Courier and Enquirer calls the late “ Whole Wofld’s Temperance Convention,’ in which the Rev. Antoinette Brown and her coadjutors figured, the “ Rest of the World’s Con vention,” and finds in some of its doings, occa sion for the following pleasant paragraph: An inconvenience otfen anticipated from the intermixture of the sexes in public business., be gan to be felt on this occasion, through the indis cretion of the managers in placing two young and well-favored female secretaries at the re porters’ table. Reporters are not usually the i lads to slight such gilts of Providence as this, and we observed that a lively stage of acquain , tar.ceship, if not of flirtation had been attained |at an early hour of the second day. It is no | “ private grief’ of ours, as our readers enjoy the j satisfactory assurance that we regard but the smallest portion of the talk of the day as worth reporting in our columns :—but we counsel those journals who make these reports a ll feature,’ ’ to look to it. Such a rose colored medium as in vested the reporter’s table at the rest of the World’s convention, cannot be favorable to dis creet, impartial, or elaborate reports. The U. S. sloop of war Jamestown, Captain Downing, from Montevideo, was going into Rio Janeiro, 25th July. Great Silver Mines Discovf.red in New Mexico. —A letter from New Mexico, in the St. Louis Republican, states that some time since a very rich mine of silver was discovered in the Sierras of Los Arganos, by a party of va gabond Mexicans. Mr. Stevenson, an expe rienced miner and a very wealthy man, from El Paso county, immediately purchased from the discoverers this mine,and having had it thorough ly tested at the mint in Chihuahau, has com menced working it on an extensive scale. An other mine has also been discovered by an old miner, who sold out to Mr. Hendree (since kill ed at El Paso) and two Mexican capitalists.— The writer adds: As to the value of the discovery, no estimate i can be placed upon it. Many old miners have { visited the mine, and with one assent have pro ' nounced it unequalled in Mexico, or in the j world. The vein commences near the toot of the immense Sierra of Los Organo, on the side of a Canon, called u La Cueva, and runs direct into the thickest part of the mountains thus giv ing positive assurance that there can be exhaus tion of metal, for from the summit to the bottom of the mountain extends one solid mass of lead and silver. The principal vein is over four acres in width, a great number of less width, branch out right and left. To give you some idea of the wealth of this metal, eight pounds of ore from the surface yielded one dollar and over of silver in a little cuidrada or ash-turnace, where more than a third of the silver was lost; every vara depth that is dug displays metal richer and richer. The work will be carried on by the present owners on an immense scale, as it is evident they will not sell, having already been offered large sums of money for the mines. It is said that the Hon. Robt. J. Walker was the gentleman who was robbed of $2,900 by a waiter at the Metrqpolilan Hotel, N. Y., a few days ago. A large reward was offered for the recovery of the money, and when the sum was found upon the servant he was allowed to go, Mr. Walker positively declining to prosecute. Death of Ex-Governor Poindexter.— Hon. George Poindexter, formerly United States Senator from Mississippi, died at Jackson, in that State, on the sth inst. He was the first delegate to Congress from Mississippi, and on her admission into the Union was immediately chosen U. States Senator, which position he held for a great number of years. He was likewise at one time Governor of the State. In early life he was a supporter of Gen. Jackson, but in later yeais he became an inveterate opponent of the Old Hero, withdrew from the democratic ranks, joined thi whigs, advocated a re-charter of the United States Bank, and supported whig measures generally. Subsequently he retired to private life, until a few years ago, when he again came out as a democrat, but failed to gain any prominence in the ranks of that party. 1 COMMUNICATED.] Mr. Editor —Permit me, through the medium of your valuable journal, to call the attention of the officer whose duty it is to inspect the opera tions of the City Scavengers, and to know that their duty is performed, in removing the clean ing of yards, &c. from the streets, from day to day, when deposited in time, and in accordance to the requisition of the Ordinance. It is an unpleasant task at any time to com plain, but at the present season when we have an abundance of rain, and extreme hot days, it is requisite for each and every member of the community to keep their lots , sinks , &c. in good and healthful order, thereby extending good to ! all. Our Health Officer in this part of the City is j an industrious man, and I am sure if it was his j duty to have the dirt and filth removed, or the j drains repaired in our section, it would be done; but wffioever has charge of the performance of ! this duty, he is particularly invited to examine j the deposits , drains, &c. &e, of up town. A Friend to Health. [Correspondence of the Mobile Tribu/ie.] Gainesville, August 31.—1 promised you when leaving Mobile, to write you occasion ally, giving an account of the prospects ot the growing crop. In obedience to that pro mise I now write from this place, and will write again from Columbus. So far, I have only travelled through Choctaw, and this far into Sumter. In Choctaw', which you know is r.ot a rich county, the cotton is good. I heard of but little complaint until I got to the upper edge of the county, where they complain very much of the worm, and from that to this point the worm has done considerable injury. The frequent rains also have caused the weed to shed the top crop. I noticed few blooms as I passed the fields. They say here that this county will not produce 500 lbs. to the acre. I imagine, however, that it is yet too early to form an opinion ; tor should it remain dry for two weeks longer, my opinion is that the worm will disap pear, and more cotton be made than is anticipa ted ; still there will not be an average crop in this county. A Cheap Damp Destroyer.—By placing an unstopped bottle or more open vessel if conven ient, containing strong sulphuric acid, in any part of the room, the moisture becomes rapidly absorbed, and the salubrity of the apartment con sequently improved. The great capacity of sul phuric acid for vapor, and the cheapness of the acid, renders this mode of absorbing humidity very economical. Vt., Sept 7. Vermont Election. —The returns of the election held yesterday, as far as received, indicate no choice of Gov ernor by the people, the Whigs having lost as compared with last year. Fairbanks, whig has a large plurality, but the result will de pend on the Legislature, which runs very close. The temperance question operated to such an extent that it is impossible to classify the members so as to arrive at the true state of parties.
