AUGUSTA, HA.
'TUESDAY OCTOBER 18.
I Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun ]
Arrival of the Steamer Canada.
Halifax, Oct. 13 —The royal mail steamer
r ana .ld arrived this morning from Liverpool,
~^ll)^Hates to the Ist inst., being one week
liter than those brought by the Arabia.
She brings intelligence that tbe Eastern ques
tnn was »til! undecided. The combined tieets
had passed the Dardanelles, but it was still be
litved that hostilities would be avoided.
The steamer Atlantic arrived out on Tuesday.
The Humboldt delayed her day of sailing till
the 30th.
UKR&IBLE STORM.
A <r re at storm prevailed along the English and
p jtch coasts on the 25th and 26th uit., doing
immense damage. A screw steamer from Am
-6 enjam was lost in the Zuyder Zee, and one
hundred persons perished. The iron steamer
Cain meat on bound from Hull to Hamburg was
ut and several persons drowned. The Ameri
.aVpacket ship Nero went ashore in the Mer
sey and several passengers drowned. The ship
America for San Francisco went ashore near
utbport. Many others were damaged. The
American ship Southernor foundered at sea,
g jp t. 10th, on her passage from Glasgow to New
Eastern Question.— lt was said that
tDe French government had received a pacific
cii nmnnication from the Emperors at Olmutz.
The Emperor*, it was understood, would also
discuss the Koszta affair. It was rumored that
j' ance approves the policy of Austria and is
ready to join her.
\* e w causes of alarm had arisen at Constanti
ple. The war party in Turkey, headed by
Mehemet Ali, were still eager for war, and in
8js f that war is demanded by the Koran and the
circumstances of the Empire.
The Sultan has refused to sign the declaration
of war gotten up against Russia, and a riot was
feared "The British and French Ambassadors
had sent for assistance to protect the Sultan and
the Christian residents, and four steam frigates
immediately passed the Dardanelles and an
chored before Constantinople. Admiral Dundas
had subsequently received orders to move the
whole English fleet to Constantinople.
Tbe Czar's rejection of the Turkish modifica
tions was known at Constantinople on the
19th, but the expected crisis did not occur. The
ministry remains unchanged.
The feast of Beriam passed off quietly, the
Sultan appearing in the procession without mo
lestation. The Sultan was displeased at the
foreign ministers bringing the fleets to Constan
tinople, regarding the step as unnecessary and
derogatory to his dignity.
Advices from Trieste state that a better feel
ing prevailed in the Divan between the war
and peace parties.
Some new arrangement insisted on by Eng
land in the Vienna note had caused Austria to
inform the English and French ministers that
it was impossible for Austria to assent to any
further modifications. The most perfect accord
was said to exist between Russia and Austria,
touching Turkey. It was rumored that Russia
Lad demanded the cession of a Turkish prov ince
in payment of the expenses of occupying the
Principalities.
The Russians were still sending forward de
tachments into tbe Principalities. The Turks
we r e erecting fortifications all along the Dan
ube.
England. — Political affairs were quiet.
Meetings had been called in several cities to
sympathise with the Greek Christians, but they
were thinly attended, being regarded as Russian
demonstrations.
France— The Emperor had returned to
Paris.
Many alarming rumors were circulated on the
Bourse, to tbe effect that tbe Russian Minister
had demanded his passports, and that Austria
had notified France and England that if they
gave active aid to Turkey, Austria would side
with Russia, and occupy Servia. Both reports
were doubted.
Austria.—The Emperors of Austria and
Russia met at Olmatz on the 24th. Great mili
tary displays and long private conferences had
taken piace.
W —The time for the free importation of
gram into the Two Sicilies had been extended
till June Ist, 1854.
lendays delay at Quarantine grounds had
been imposed on all vessels from the United
States coining to Neapolitan ports. The New
Orleans vessels were excluded altogether.
Spain.— Navarez had returned, and the Colo
nial Council had been suppressed. A new min
istry had been formed, with Calderon de la
Barca as Minister of Foreign Affairs
Gen Persuela has been appointed Captain-
General of Cuba in place of Canedo.
JfepßcssiA.—Mr. Barnard, the American minis
ter, had presented his letters of recall. Mr.
' room, his successor was daily expected.
Denmark.— The cholera had entirely disap
peared from Copenhagen.
India and China —The Indian mail had
been telegraphed with Calcutta dates of August
20th, and Bombay of the 30th.
Famine and sickness weie prevailing at Ran
joor.
Burmah was quiet.
Commercial affairs in India were satisfacto
ry-
The Chinese insurgents continue their ad
vance on Pekin. Money and provisions were
aurce at Pekin. A lined fleet of English and
- rnerican ships were blockading Chiang Kiang.
be London papers had started another foolish
a.ory that Mr. Marshall, the American Minister,
»ad offered the Emperor a loan of $1,000,000 on
rrua.f of tbe United States, and active assist
ance. 5
Canton was quiet.
There was nothing later regarding Com. Per
} s movements. The steamer Powhatan and
- P 'andalia had gone to join the expedition.
Australia.—Australian advices say that

Later from Mexico.—Arrival of the Steamer
Texas.
The steamship Texas, Capt. H. Place, arrived
from Vera Cruz early yesterday afternoon. She
left that port on the Bth inst,, to which date she
brings us files ol the Eco del Comerieo. She
brings us papers and correspondence from the
city of Mexico to the 3d inst.
The Texas reports that the British mail steam
ship Avon left on the evening of the sth inst.,
without having shipped her freight list of specie
and cochineal. A norther was blowing and pre
vented its being put on board, and at her appoint
ed time she was compelled to leave without it.
The Mexican war steamer Estade de Mejico
left Fera Cruz on the morning of the Bth inst.,
with 300 troops on board, tor Yucatan, in which
piace it was reported that a revolution had bro
ken out.
The I rait d Union, of the Ist inst., states that
the post of Minister of War, made vacant by the
death of Gen. Tornel, and which had been filled
ad interim by Don Suarez Navarro, had been
permanently supplied by the appointment of
Don Lino J. Aleorta, who took the oath of of
fice on the 28th ult. The same paper adds that
some excitement had been created by Senor Na
varro’s having been ordered, on the 30th ult., to
Acapulco, whence he was to be embarked for
Manilla, in consequence, it is alleged, of some
act of insubordination.
On the 28th ult., funeral ceremonies were per
formed in the city of Mexico in honor of the
memories of the victims of the war of indepen
dence. Ihe authorities of every class and a large
number of notabilities were present on the oc
casion. Similar ceremonies were performed at
Churubusco on the 12th ult., in honor of the
memory of those who fell on the 20th of August,
1847, on the occasion of the American invasion.
The cholera continues its ravages at Oajaca.
The Academy of Aits and Sciences had been
closed. A number ol well known citizens are
named among the victims.
A circular has been issued, dated the 22d ult.,
recommending the authorities to see that all
foreign residents are in possession of their letters
of safety. Another circular directs the preven
tion of the circulation and exposure of immoral
and indecent pictures, and of such as contain
any offensive allusion respecting religion or the
authorities. Among other returns required from
the local authorities, is one of the benevolent
societies established in the several States.
The Minister of fomento is engaged in an en
deavor to secure a mass of statistical information
with respect to the Republic, which cannot but
be very valuable should his efforts be successful.
He has issued a circular, ingeniously arranged,
requiring his agents to furnish him with answers
to the question therein proposed, in tabular form,
in ielation to fifty different subjects, relating to
the arts, manufactures, sciences, natural produc
tions, population, mines, trades, agriculture, edu
cation, police, &c., &c , of the country.
At the execution of four criminals on the 26th
ult., a shocking addition was made to the suffer
ings of one of the criminals. Three were gar
roted with the accustomed readiness; but on
the executioner’s endeavoring to perform the
last functions on the fourth, the machinery could
not be made to work. For some minutes en
deavors to force it to do so were made, but in
vain ; and finally the unfortunate victim was
obliged to be released from the chair, to gaze on
the corps of his fellow sufferers, while one of
them was lifted out to make room for him, and
finally to take his seat in the chair thus vacated,
there to undergo his sentence. This is the se
cond time, of late, that a similar shocking scene
has been witnessed in Mexico.
Some twenty executions have now taken
place in various parts of the Republic ; there are
now some sixty awaiting sentence; and still
robberies as audacious as ever continue. The
diligence from Vera Cruz and Puebla was rob
bed at La Cruz de Hernandez by a band of elev
en robbers, on the 29th ult., when a horse and
mule and property to nearly the value of $2,000
was taken from the travelers. However, as it is
believed that the ringleaders of most of the hand
that have hitherto been concerned in these affairs
have been taken, it is to be hoped that the se
verities being pursued towards them will soon
effectually check them.
A letter had been received from Gen. Arista,
stating that he hod recovered from his malady,
and purposed going to witness the operations
between Russia and Turkey should war break
out.
Senor Pereda, the new Minister to Guatema
la, a newly created legation, and Senor Federico
Falquez, Minisier to Central America, had both
set out.
On the 22d ult. troops were marched from
Guanajuato for Guadalojara. in consequence of a
reported revolutionary movement in the latter
place.
Senor Vicente Garcia Torres, formerly editor
of the Monitor Republicano, has been banished
to Sonora; for what offence is not stated.
The Council of State has been increased by
the addition of fifteen more members. Among
them, Gen. M. M. Lombardini has taken the
oath.
Since the 20th ult., electro-telegraphic com
munication was established between Queretaro,
Celaya, Salamanca, Irapuato, Guanajuato, Silas,
and Leon.
Senors Mugiea and Osorio are under arrest in
the National Palace in Mexico.
It is reported that a conspiracy had been dis
covered in Jancintaro.
Twelve bandits were lately arrested at Can
delaria, in Zacatecas ; four of them attempting to
flee were shot, three being killed on the snot.
The ravages of the Indians continue apparent
ly without check.
In consepuence of the defalcation of the cash
ier of the Sisters of Charity in Mexico—a Padre
Armengol—they have been reduced to bankrupt
cy, leaving debts of many hundred of thousands
ol dollars. (?) So says the Trait d’Union.
The President has accorded exequators to Mr.
Pickett, appointed U. S. Consul at Vera Cruz,
and to Mr. Danmau, appointed U. S. Consul at
Acapulco.
The Prize Fight between Morrissey and
Sullivan. — The contest between Yankee Sulli
van and John Morrissey, which has long been
talked of, took place on Wednesday afternoon
at “ Boston Four Corners,” one hundred miles |
from New York. The Tribune says: —
The fight lasted 55 minute*, during which |
37 rounds, were fought, at the expiration of ;
which Morrissey, who had been punished se- !
verely at nearly every round, was in a shocking :
condition, his nose being completely flattened
and his face cut frightfully, from which the blood
flowed profusely. At this state of the fight a
row occurred in the ring, and during the noise
and confusion which ensued, time was called,
but Sullivan not hearing it, did not appear. The
friends of Morrissey therefore declared him the
victor, which was also pronounced by the judges.
It is said that, by this accident or oversight,
and this only, on the part of Sullivan, he lost the
battle. Morrissey, although he exhibited good
pluck, sadly disappointed his friends, as he show
ed but a 6mall degree or skill. Nearly three
thousand people were on the ground to witness
the fight, which was not the least interrupted by i
the authorities of that vicinity. It is said nearly j
all the farmers and citizens of that region were
present to witness the disgraceful exhibition.
The fight was for SI,OOO a side. The outside
bets were SIOO to SBO in favor of Morrissey.
Sullivan meunted a black handkerchief to
show that he was bound to win, or never strip
for another fight, and it is hoped he will adhere :
to his determination.
The New York Times has a more extended
account of the matter. The excitement in New
York seems to have been quite chaiacteristic,
and it is estimated that over three thousuand
persons proceeded to the scene of action, by the
Hudson railway, between Tuesday noon and
Wednesday morning. Heavy bets were made
as to the result. The Times gives the follow
ing as the most reliable statement of this spasm
of modern u chivalry
u It appears the pugilists met on the ground at
11 o’clock on Wednesday morning, amidst an
assemblage of some four or five thousand persons.
AUGUSTA, GA. TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 18, 1853
and nothing occurred to disturb them ; the ring
was formed and they were brought foith by
; their seconds, who were as follows—For Suili
! van, Andee Sheehan, of the 4th ward, and Wm.
| Wilson. For Morrissey. Awful Gardner ami
i Tom O’Donnel. The favorite was Morrissey,
SIOO to S7O, and, in some instances, SIOO to sso'
belore they came to blows. They were both in
j good condition, and the six weeks’ training ap
; peared to have improved each of them in both
appearance and strength. They walked up face
to face, good naturedly smiled, and took their
positions apparently in the best feeling. They
squared off, and the first blood was drawn by
Sullivan with a swift tap on Morrissey’s nose.
He followed up his blows in quick succession,
and the first round created considerable excite
ment amongst the spectators.
“ The rounds were continued on to thethirty
sexenth, occupying fifty-five minutes, when Mor
rissey became very weak, and a general row the
result. Some persons rushed inside of the ring,
and several of them received some severe pun
ishment. The only blows Snliivan received was
about the rightside of his face, principally on his
cheek bone, and the eye was much swollen.
u The face of Morrissey was frightfully mu
tilated, and it is said that by those who witness
ed the Affair, that he also received numerous
severe blows on the body, which will no doubt
render him disabled for a long time.
There is now a dispute as to who was vic
torious in the contest, and we learn the Judges
decided in favor of Morrissey, on the ground of
" foul blows,” and “ not coming to time,’ 1 &c.—
This decision is, however, claimed to be wrong
by the opponents of it, and the stakeholder was
advised not to give up the $2,000 prize, which
he has held in gold coin since the match was
made. It is rumored that Sullivan has agreed to
place SI,OOO additional to the sum already up,
and fight the battle over again for the $4,000, in
one day or sixty days. There will piobably be
great exxitement eventually grow out of this
whole matter, or end in half a dozen prize-fights.”
Episcopal General Convention.— Seventh
Day —Judge Chambers, of Md , presented a me
moiial from the Rev. Mr. Prescott, a presbyter,
of Massachusetts, complaining that he had beeril
suspended by his Bishop, on the ground that he
had entertained opinions contrary to his ordina
tion vows. After considerable discussion it was
voted not to receive the memorial.
The House then took up the cannon entitled
u A canon on the Abandonment of the Com
munion of the Church by any Bishop, Priest, or
Deacon,” which declares that if any Bishop,
Presbyter, or Deacon shall abandon the commu
nion of the Church, either by renunciation of
doctrines, discipline, &c., or by a formal admis
sion into any religious body not in cummunion
with the same, such Bishop, Presbyter or Deacon
shall be held, ipso facto , as deposed to all intents
and purposes; and shall, thereupon, be pronounc
ed deposed after three months’ notice, provided
the abandonment is not evinced in writing,
signed by the party.
Hon. Murray Hoffman, on Tuesday, made a
long speech in opposition to the proposed canon,
and read resolutions which he said he should of
fer, in case the canon was rejected, declaring that
a majority of the House of Bishops, or a Council
of Bishops assembled for the purpose, had autho
rity to pronounce and adjudge that a Bishop of
this Church has, by reason of any neglect or re
fusal, vacated and forfeited his jurisdiction in any
diocese, as well as his right to exercise any of
the offices and functions of a Bishop of this
Church within the United States.
The Rev. Mr. Mason, of North Carolina, on
Wednesday, replied to Mr. Hoffman as to the
course of the diocese of North Carolina in rela
tion to tho defection of its former Bishop, and to
the election of another.
North Carolina, he said, does not consider
Bishop Ive’s letter to the diocese an act of re
signation, hut an act of abandonment and aposta
cy—a higher act—a going out from the office, as
muchdsif he had died—a case in which there
can be no doubt—ail the facts of the* defection,
of the abandonment, have been perfectly proved,
and North Carolina was jastified most fully in
the course she has taken. The reverend spea
ker made an earnest and feeling appeal to the
convention to confirm that action, and thus bring
peace to the diocese.
The Rev. Mr. Craik, of Kentucky, said that
he must vote against the resolutions of Mr. Hoff
man, whatever he might do on the resolution re
ported by the committee on canons. If the elec
tion of Dr. Atkinson as Bishop of North Caroli
na he not good and valid, it can never he made
so by the act of the third party. Mr. Craik did
not believe with the committee that a Bishop
does, by apostatising, ipso facto depose himself.
Judge Williams, of Va., defended the position
taken in the canon before the House that the
abandonment of a Bishopof his diocese ipso facto
vacates that diocese; and he contended that
the convention had a right to pass such a canon.
It's afa Diliar law that the acceptance of an
office inconsistent with the one previously held
vacates the other, ipso facto. Abdication has al
ways been held as vacation. James 11, of Eng
land, wished to resign the throne, but he was
told “No, you have abdicated!” Napoleon
wished to resign the crown of France in favor
of his son; but he was told “No you have abdi
cated !”
This the late Bishop of North Carolina had
done. He had gone to Rome, and kissed the
Pope’s toe, and was even now glorifying in his
apostacy, and yet it is gravely told that this
man is still a Protestant Episcopal Bisnop. The
speaker then proceeded to analyze and to argue
against the resolutions of Mr. Hoffman, intended
as a substitution for the proposed canon.
Mr. Evans, of Maryland, agreed with the gen
tleman who bad just preceded him in relation to
excess of legislation, and therefore he preferred
the resolutions of the gentleman from New
York. He then proceeded to discuss the points
of the question, and the result of his view was
that the Diocese of South Carolina had no right
to declare their Diocese vacant.
The discussion was continued to the hour
of adjournment.
