Hr- Cobb’s Speeoh in Savannah, We have already remarked, in our issue of yesterday, that the Hon Howell Cobb was greeted at the Alhcmcum, on Wednesday evening, by one of the largest and most intel ligent audiences we have ever seen assembled in this city. There was no packing, no rein forcement of boys or outsiders, and no effort to procure a large attendance; and yet there was more intelligence, tnnre men of character and influence and enterprise present, than we have been accustomed to witness at political assemblages in years post. It was a compli ment eminently due tho distinguished ex- Spcaker, and he evinced his appreciation of it by the plnin, straightforward and manly manner in which he responded to it. He made no effort at display. He said nothing for effect—-and yet his speech was a power ful vindication of the action of the Govern ment in relation to the Compromise meas ures, tho action of the Georgia Convention, and the organization of the Union party. Having been introduced by Dr. Arnold in n few appropriate remarks, Mr. Cobb pro ceeded, in the first ploco to review in a gen • eral way the measures embraced in the Com promise. It had been charged, he said, that the Compromise was an aggression by the North upon the constitutional rights of the South, This he denied most emphatically. The position of the South so far as her con stitutional rights were concerned, was better now than it had been for tho last quarter of a century. While he could not have ap proved of some parts of it singly, yet as a whole, as a Compromise of conflicting views, he considered it wise, liberal, and just to all parts o( the country It was not aggressive upon our rights. It violated no provision of tho constitution and it in no way aflected injuriously tho honor or the interests of the South. Men should not expect—it was not just to expect—that all their wishes should be carried out in a compromise where the most conflicting sentiments and obdurate pre judices are to be settled. It is not right to yield nothing, and yet to exact every thing Such was not the policy of our fathers. The Federal Government, he contended, was a compromise—the Constitution was a com promise—the Union was a Compromise—re publicanism itself was a compromise. Com promise was written upon evety thing—it was seen every where, in society, in govern ment, and in all the varied and wide spread ramifica'iuns of life. It was upon this just and universal principle that the action of the Government had been predicated; and it was upon this that he stood there to defend and support that action. When men had arrived at that point where they were unwilling to concede any thing to the views and senti ments ol others, there could be no further government. Anarchy and misrule must take the place of law and order, and society be resolved into its original elements. While the speaker admitted that the im mediate danger was passed it would not be just to those whom be wns addressing or to nimsolf to disguise tho fnct that there were many bitter opponents in all sections of the country oi the action of ihe Government, and ot even the Government itself. At the Norlh there were men, intelligent, influential, and sincere, who charged that the Government had sacrificed every Northern principle at the foot of Southern power; while nt the South, there were men equally intelligent and sin cere, who charged that not only the consti tution, but Southern interests and honor had been offered up on the alter to appease Northern abolitionism. These men occupied directly opposite positions, nnd yet they were warring upon the Government for the same cause. That ruin must come the country, if either party was permitted to get control in its section, was too evident, he thought, to require any thing but the simple statement Of the fact to put all the true friends of tho the Union on their guard. In this connection, the Honorable gentle man referred to the recent action of South Carolina. He desired to speak of that State kindly and respectfully, as was his nature.— That she had determined to strike a blow for disunion., was evident trom the action of the. late covoption in Charleston, the senti ments of her public men, and the tone of her presses and clubs. While he hoped and be lieved she would not secede, he was convinc- i»he was at’tlgg time resolved to do so x that it required the exercise of great pru dence and forbearance by the General Gov ernment and the Southern States to prevent it, There were three parties in South Caro lina: the immediate secessionists, the ultimata secessionists, and (he Uniont"«*--, ’ i n0 j were for dissolving Union ot once and by th»—" ie second, more politic, more calculating, were equally determined to accomplish the same end, but thay were in favor of “tarrying for a moment’’ in order to secure the cp-'t'vration of other southern State”! ‘bird were friends of the Union, on the principles of the Union party of Geor gia. The second party he considered the most dangerous, because it was the most po litic. With them disunion was a chronic disease—-with the first it was only inflamma tory. These two parties were equally bent upon the destruction of the Government,— To carry out this purpose, they had tender ed the “lend” in the disunion movement to Georgia. The compliment was grateful, yet it had been firmty declined. It was now evi dent that, in tendering the “lead,” it was done only on the condition that Georgia would tread in the path which South Caroli na should point out for her. But Georgia had marked out a path for hersalf—a straight and honest path, sueh as her judg ment approved of—and she would not per mit herself to be diverted trom it either by the flattery or threats of States near at hand ot those at a distance, She had taken her position, and there she would stand, let oth er people and States say and do what they pleased. Mr. Cobb said he could not find appropriate terms to express himself in regard to the Georgia Convention. It had, under trying circumstances, performed its whole duty—it had done right—and its action was but the entering up of the judgement of the people. He would say more : He verily believed that Georgia had saved the Union. Such was the belief elsewhere. She had excited the admiration and respect of the patriots of all sections of the country. So just, so dig nified, so wise, had been her conduct, that he doubted not a vast and increasing majori ty of her sons would continue to uphold and defend it. Yet he regretted to any that his “Southern rights” friends ("of whom bespoke with tho utmost kindness and respect) were differently deposed. Many of them denounc ed the action of the Convention, while others of them professed a disposition lo acquiesce in it, “humiliating as it was." He would not call into question the sincerity or patriot ism of such men; yet he could not believe afely that men could solely rely upon their assis tance in maintaining measures or a govern ment which had “humiliated," and “disgrac ed" them. Men must co-operate cordially and upon the convictions of their judgments, or they could accomplish no good. He fear ed too, that if the people of Georgia should by their votes elevate such a party to power —a party thus “humiliated” and dissatisfied —it would not he long, however differently its members may think now, before they would place themselves in sympathetic com munication with South Carolina, and with her strike for disunion. Here lay the real danger. Georgia must be true to herself— true to her own action—or the Union might yet be rent assunder. She must follow out the path she marked for herself, resolutely and to the end, and it would conduct her to safety and greatness. She was competent to tnko care of herself, and did not require the nid or advice of any State, here or elsewhere, which might apply for letters of guardian ship. He did not believe that South Caroli na had the right to jeopard the institutions of the South by her hasty and ill-advised action. Other States were equally interested in those institutions, and she could not in jus tice to them take it upon herself to decide upon such momentous issues, afld drag them down with herself into the bottomless pit of revolution and disunion. For one, he hoped that Georgia would give her to understand so far as we are concerned, that she need look for no aid or sympathy from this State in her efforts to overthrow the Government. We may regret the course she had marked out; we may even sympathise with her ; but nothing more. We can never raise our hands against the Union for anything in the past. Mr. Cobb depreciated the formation of sec tional parties, whether they he called “South ern rights” or otherwise. Organize section al parties at the North, and South, at the East and West; let them meet in the Halls of Congress; let each insist “at all hazards and to the last extremity” that it is right, and the others wrong ; nnd he did not believe the Union would endure one month It could never survive the bitterness, the ha tred, and the violence which such a state of things would engender. The position of Georgia was an enviable one. The rapid development of her varied resources ; her gigantic system of internal improvements ; her educational and religious advancement ; her vast productions ; her geo graphical position ; and her rapid increase in population and power, made her emphatical ly the “Empire State of the South.” The improvement which was evident in every de partment of industry in this city, was tut a type of the improvement every where visible throughout the State. And here he felt con strained to say, that to the capital, the enter prise, and the lines of communication project ed by Savannah, the State was indebted for much of her present prosperity nnd future prospects ; nnd he hoped, indeed he saw in the feeling of unity which was springing up in all parts of the State, from the mountains to the seaboard, that she would realize the rich reward due to her unflagging industry and indomitable will. Unexampled prosper ity reigned throughout our borders. There never was a freer or happier people; and if there was one State more than another whose interests and greatness lay in the Union, it was Georgia. There was no limit to her prosperity, if she would be true to herself. Her destiny, under Providence, was in her own hands, and he hoped she would entrust it to the keeping of no other people, howev er gallant. But prosperous and happy as we are; and encouraging as out future prospects and may be, ij_bthoovea us jp had become wlmt we are with the “stars and stripes” over our heads.

Opening of Iho Worlds Fair, London, (Friday) May 2, 1851 May-day has coma and gone, and wilh it has been accomplished the highly interesting and imposing ceremony of openiug the Great Exhibition of the World’s Fair, in the Glass Palace in Hyde Park. Tho day was mild and pleasant, and although there was a slight, fall of rain just os the Queen left Bucking ham Palace, it did not dampen the arder of the hundreds of thousands of her loyal sub jects who had assembled in and almost cover ed the Park to cheer her on her way. The number cf' visitors congregated within the Pahtco, was estimated, and I should think within bounds, at 25,000—it would be use less to attempt to number the immense col lection in ami around the Park, and the ad joining streets, which were all thronged with luman beings presenting the appearance of a sea of heads—the city and suburbs seemed to be entirely deserted during the morning hours, and as the population of London ana its im mediate inviroos is now estimated at two and a half millions, some idea may be formed of the great extent of Ihe masses hero congre- ated. As the procession from the Queen’s ’alacc was only composed of the royal car riages and of those which conveyed the differ ent branches of the Royal Family, it was not so imposing ns it would have been had the trains of the Foreign Ambosndors joined in it, as was done on the occasion of her corona tion, these latter having previously arrived at the Exhibition, at such times os suited their own convenience. The Duke of Wel lington, who now seems to be “the observed oi nil observers,” in England, had also pre ceded Her Majesty, and was hailed in the most enthusiastic manner by the assembled multitudesas he entered the Palace, when he was observed for some time to be in close conversation with his distinguished associ ate on the field of Waterloo, the Marquis of Anglesey. The Queen who is said to be remurkable for her punctuality in all her pub lic engagements, entered the building precise ly at 12 o’clock, and was received with the ;reatest enthusiasm. A temporary throne lud been erected, composed of some of the most appropriate objects of art in the collec tion, on which Her Majosty being seated, and surrounded by all the high • officers of Church and State, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Winchester and London, the Lord Cliancollor, &c. The seats which on either side lined the nave, the whole extent oftho lower floor and gal- , ... leries, had been reserved exclusively for th* * Brs > and "> lho nex place, your joker’s col- ladies, and one standing in a central position!" 1 ”" Wtts scurrilous. He can’t think of would sea, stretching from that point north and south, east aua west, long lines of elegantly dressed women, whose animated countenances conveyed to the beholder a character of interest which no inanimate ob jects, however beautiful, would fail to sup ply. As Her Majesty ascended the throne, one of the splendid organs which adorn the Exhibition, struck up the national anthem of God save the Queen, and an immense choir, collected for the occasion, accompani ed thestrain, and all seemed moved ar,d ex cited by it. The Royal Commissioners now drew near the throne, and read lo Her Majesty a re port of their proceedings, recapulating the various means which had been resorted to for the construction nnd arranging of the gi gantic edifice, and Ihe cordial assistance which they had received from ell quarters for carrying out the original design ol its no ble projector. They state that the number of contributors, whose productions it had been found possible to accomodate, were about 16,000 ; of which number neatly one- hall were British ; and they had been arran ged in four classes, viz: 1. Raw Maleriais ; 2. Machinery ; 3. Manufactures; 4. Sculp ture and the Fine Arts. To which Her Ma jesty returned the following gracious an swer t— “I receive with tho greatest satisfaction the address which you have presented to me on the opening of this Exhibition. “1 have observed with a warm and in creasing interest, the ptogress of your pro ceedings in the execution of the duties in trusted to you by the Royal Commission and it affords me sincere gratification to wit ness the successful result of your judicious nnd unremitting exertions in the splendid spectacle by which I am this day surround ed. “I cordially concur with you in the prayer, that by God’s blessing this undertaking may conduce to the welfare of my people and to the common interests of the human race, by encouraging the arts of peace nnd industry strengthening the bonds of union among the nations of the earth, and promoting n friend ly and houornble rivalry in tho useful exer cise of those faculties which hnve been con ferred by a beneficent Providence for the good nnd happiness of mankind.” His Grace, the archbishop of Canterbury, then approached the throne, and offered up a fervent prayer, invoking the blessing of the Almighty upon lho undertaking ; which wns ioliowed by tho Choir singing Ihe Hallelujah Chorus ; and ils effects may be easily imagined, when it is stated that the performers wore selected from the Chapel Royal,St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, assisted by many performers, from the Royai Academy of Mnsic, the Sacred Harmonic So ciety, nnd others, both Foreign and English. Tho procession was then formed, and wns of a very imposing character, in which were included Her Majesty, who led by the hand her son the Prince of Wales, clad in the Highland costume, Prince Albert, with the little Princess Royal, all the members of the Court nnd high officers of State, the For eign Ministers, Royal Commissioners from the various Foreign Nations represented on the occasion,, the Architects, Contractors, Ac., &c. . As the procession proceeded. “ was receiv veral ora*"«> ’™m Paris, from Erfurt, and mat of British construction, each in turn poured forth its powerful music, and this was followed hy the bands of the Cold stream and Scotch Fusijifir' G.qfeds, which, as the processiou rounded the eastern end of the building, varied the programme by their spirit-stirring strains, livery where during ihe entire progress of the procession around the Pulace, the cheering and waiving of hats and handkerchiefs went on continuously, in which the numerous foreigners present seem ed to vie with Hor Majesty’s most loyal sub jects. These manifestations were most gra ciously responded to both hy the Queen and Prince Albert. The Queen.it was thought, looked remarkably well, ,nnd boro the ex citement of the occasion with her usual firm ness and self possession, but the Prince wns evidently anxious, nnd exhibited considerable emotion when tho ceremony was brought to a close ; which is easily accounted for when we remember that the project was one in which his name and reputation are to he forever hereafter associated. The Royal children were objects of much attention especially the Prince of Wales, who was repeatedly cheered by tho assemblage. When the procession had mndo tho entire circuit of the immense edifice, and Her Ma josty wns again aented upon the throne, the Marquis of Broadalbane announced that the Queen declared" the Exhibition opened,’’— a (loarish of trumpets proclaimed the fact lo the assembled multitude within, which was repeated to tho masses without by a salute of artillery at the Sorpentine river. The Royal Family, with the Court, then with drew— the barriers which hod separated the centre asile of the building from the rest of the edifice were removed, end the twenty-five thousand visitors present were en ablod to more about at pleasure.

The Forest Funeral.—She was lair, with tresses of long black hair lying over her pillow. Her eye wss dark and piercing, and as it met mine she started slightly, but luokingnp she smiled. 1 spoke to her fath er, ana turning to her asked her if she knew her condition 1 ‘1 know that my redeemer liveth,” said she >n a voice whose melody was like the sweetest strains of the .dSolian. You may imagine the answer started me, and with a very few words lo this import, I turned front her. A half hour passed, and she spoke in that same deep, rich, melodious voire. ■Father, I ant cold, lie down beside me,” and Ihe old man '.laid down 1 by bis dying child, and she twihed her arms around his neck, nnd murmured in a dreary voice : ‘Dear father, dear father.’ ‘My child,’ said the old' man, ‘doth the flood seem deop to the ?’’ ‘Nay, fa'her, my soul is strong.’ ‘Seost thou tho thither shore ?’ “1 see it, father, and its banks are green’ v ish immortal verdure.’ ‘Hearest thou the voices of ils inhabi tants.” ‘I hear them father, the voices of angels calling from afar in the still and solemn night time, and they call me .’ Her, voice father l Oh ! I hear it then.’ ■Doth she speak to the ?’ ‘She speaks in tones most heavenly.’ ’Doth she smile ?’ ■An angel smile ! but a cold calnt smile ! but 1 am cold. Fathor, there is a mist in the room. You’ll he lonely. Is this death, father.’ ‘It is doath, my Mary.’ ‘Thank God !’ Sabbath evening came, and a slow proces sion wound through the forest to the little' school-house. There with simple riles, the' clergyman performed his duty and went to’ the grave. The procession was short.— There were hardy men and rough, shooting jackets, and some with rifles on their shoul ders. But their warm hearts gave beauty to their unshaven laces, and they stood in re verent silence by the grnve. The river mur mured, and the birds sang, and so we buried her. 1 saw the sun go down from the same spot, and the stars were bright before I left, for 1 always had nn idea a grave yard was the nearest place to heaven on earth, and, with old Thomas Browu, I lore to see a church in agave yard, for even as we pass the place of God on earth, so wo must through the grave to the temple ol God on high. Wild Man of the Woods.—The Mem phis Enquirer of May 9th, says : “During March last, Mr. Hamilton, of Green county, Arkansas, while out hunting with on acquaintance, observed a drove of cattle in a state of apparent alarm, evidently * pursued by some dreuded enemy. Uniting for the purpose, they soon discovered, as the' animals fled hy them, that they were follow ed by nn nnimnl bearing the unmistakable likeness of humanity, tie was of giganic stature, the body being covered with hair, and the head will) long locks that fairly en veloped his nock and shoulders The “wild man,” for so we must call him, nfler looking, at them deliberately for a short time, turned and ran away with greut speed, leaping: from twelve to fourteen feet at a timo.
