DAILY CfNSTITI TIOMIIST BY JAMES GARDNER. \> EDHEBDAY MORNING, JAW>Y. 23 River News. The river was at nine ami a half feet, by the mark, at sun-down last evening. Freight by the river, on Colton, is reduced to fifty cents per bale. The Central American Difficulty. The great interest attaching to this subject, and the important results that may grow out of it will doubtless render the publication of the speeches of Mr. Clayton and Gen. Cass in the United States Senate, acceptable to our readers. Mr, Clayton’s speech, especially, gives a graphic historical pic ture of British perfidy, and places before us, beyoud question, the true interpretation ol the Clavtox- Bulwbr treaty. Dickens’ Holly-Tree Inn. We have received, from T. B. Peterson, Phila delphia, a copy of Dickens’ Hew Christmas and New Year’s Store, for 185*3. it is rather late for a Holy-day story, but Charles Dickens’ works read well and afford amusement and instruction at any time. Cold Weather. We have experienced quite a cold and disagree able condition of tlie weather for the past few days. Yesterday the thermometer stood, at 7 o’clock, A. M., at 24 ; at 2, P. M., 32; and at 8 o’clock, last night, at 31)\ The wind was duo West all day. Some of the young men are amusing themselves in skating exercises, on frozen places on the commons, but the great mass of our popu lation are enjoying themselves at their homes, in warm apartments. £•-$?“ The Hon. George W. Stone has been elect ed Judge of the Supreme Court of Alabama, vice Hon. George Goldthwaite, resigned. We understand that the Small Pox is still prevailing in the lower part of Lincoln county. »-sf“ Efforts are making to create a new county in part out of Lumpkin. The Hank of the State of Missouri has declared a dividend of eight and a quarter per cent on the business of the last six months, after setting aside one per cent as a contingent fund. A dividend at $2 per share in the capital stock of the old Union Hank of Louisiana in liquidation has beeu declared out of the assets. The Boston Board of Trade has resolved to pe tition Congress for the esactment ot a General Bankrupt act. The Savannah Republican, of yesterday, says: “We were in error yesterday in stating that the hark K. Shultz, which left this port for Charleston the 2sth ultimo, had not since been heard from. She arrived safely, and at last accounts was about completing her cargo for another trip. “The Wm. Hitchcock. —We have already made mention of the burning of this ship at sea, while on her way from Savannah to Havre with a cargo of cotton." We gather the following particulars concerning her from a northern exchange : “The cargo of the Wm. Hitchcock consisted of two thousand two hundred and fifty bales of cot ton, and was valued at about $112,000. Os the above number, we hear one thousand six hundred bales are insured in France ; the remainder, six hundred and fifty bales, or a large portion of it, is insured in Wall street. The W. 11 was an A 1 1 4 vessel, of six hundred and ninety-three tons regis ter, built at Newcastle, Me., in 1848, owned by Bogert & Kneeland, valued at $32,000, and fully covered bv insurance, as also the freight money, in New York. The ship was consigned to the Havre branch of the house of Messrs. 1 .aliens A: Co., of New York.”. Washington Rumor*. We published, yesterday, several extracts from letters of Washington correspondents, in relation to a meeting of the Cabinet, the withdrawal of Mr. Been anas’, and the recall of Mr. Cramptox, «fcc. Below we insert, a partial correction of some of the rumors which we find iu the Washington L moo, of the 19th inst: From the Washington' Union. Our Diplomatic Relations with England. The following extract of a late letter of one of the correspondents of the Baltimore San, has been quoted and commented on by the National Intelli gencer as containing reliable information: “ The cabinet have had under consideration the expediency of suspending diplomatic intercourse with England, as a mode ot resenting the refusal of the British Government to afford reparation to the United States for the alleged violation of our laws and natural rights by recruiting troops in this country.” We think we can safely assure the editors of the Intelligencer that no such question as the suspen sion of diplomatic intercourse with Great Britain has been before the cabinet. Our relations with that Government are certainly delicate, and per haps critical, but the proposed withdrawal of our minister is not amongst the evidences going to in dicate the delicacy of those relations, if we might indulge in a conjecture on so grave a matter, we should venture the opinion that the action of our government in asking the recall of Mr. Orampton and the consuls implicated in the recruitment of soldiers for the Crimea furnishes the oniv founda tion for the statement quoted above. Whilst wo desire bv this correction to avoid any unfounded apprehensions of an impending difficulty with Great Britain, we cannot deny that there are seri ous questions of difference between the two gov ernments which ought to be thoughtfully consid ered bv these members of Congress who are ob structing the organization of the House. Our neighbors of the InteUujeiu’tr made an appeal on this subject, which is worthy of attention. We are informed that the negro Henry, who lias been runaway from his owner several months, was shot on Monday night last near Gainsville. It is said he was well armed, with revolver and knife. Henry was the property of Mr. Thomas P. Junes, of Green county, in this Suite. We are not posted as to the particulars in reference to the death of the boy, other than his being found prowling about the premises of the individual who shot him. Dahlonega Signal, Jan. 19. BY TELEGRAPH. Our Foreign Relations. Washington, Jan. 22.—The following statement in reference to our Foreign Relations may be re lied upon as authentic and official. The American Government has demanded tlie recall ot Mr. Cramptox. Mr. Buchanan will not be recalled ex cept at his own request. No Special Message re lative to Foreign Affairs has been contemplated by the President, nor lias such a message been the subject of Cabinet deliberations. Mr. Boyce's re solution was offered to-day without tlie previous knowledge of the Executive. Negotiations be tween the United States and Great Britain are still open. Congressional. Washington, Jan. 22d. -In the House to-day Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina offered a resolution to the effect that our critical relations with Great Britain demanded a union of all the conservatives in the House for the election of a Speaker. The balloting, however, resulted in no choice. Further by the Washington. New York, Jan. 22—The long contemplated al liance between Spain and the Allied Powers has at last been consummated, tlie former agreeing to send a contingent of ten or twenty thousand men to the Crimea, and the latter guaranteeing to Spain her territorial possessions, especially Cuba. Enter from lln>ti. Philadelphia, Jan. 22.—Later advices from Hayti confirm the accounts of the reeent battle. The Emperor Shoulongne had fled, and a reward of ten thousand doubloons had been offered for his apprehension. If caught, he would probably be hung, as his own subjects were greatly exaspera ted against him. Markets. t New York, Jan. 22d.—Cotton is firm—sales of S.OOO bales at 9’ _,c. for Middling Orleans and 9 : a c. for Middling Upland. State $8.12, Ohio $8.76 Southern Red Wheat sl.t<6. Corn 9Sc. Rice firm. Freights lower. Charleston, Jan. 22—p. m.—O.ttm.—Twenty eight hundred bales were sold to-dav. Middling Fair quoted at 9% to 9^c Octrretpondence of the Con*tifutionalitt. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Milleiigrvillb, Jan. 21st 185*3. SENATE. Mr. Alrkad, of Pickens, moved a reconsidera tion of the action of the Senate on the bill reduc ing, the Senate, and providing for annual sessions of the General Assembly. The motion was lost. Yeas 31 —nays 53. Mr. Miller’s resolution fixing tbo hours for meeting at nine A. M., three P. M., and seven at night, was agreed to. The bill introduced by Judge Cone before the recess, altering, amending and codifying the stat utes of limitation, was taken up, considered bv sections, amended in various respects, after a thorough and careful discussion of every portion of it, by the ablest lawyers on the floor, and pass ed. As soon as I can obtain an authentic trans cript of the bill, as amended, it shall he forwarded for insertion. The changes which are made bv it in the periods of limitation, and its recognition and adoption of new legal principles in controver sion ol old judicial maxims, will probably interest the public whose interests are effected by it, and the profession whose practice is altered. The friends of the “ Georgia Military Institute bill,” exceedingly anxious to have its fate settled immediately, succeeded this afternoon in getting it before the Senate. On motion of Dr. Screven, of Chatham, the bill was amended so as to require a complete transfer of the entire property of the Institution to the State; and limiting the cost of the stock, to be held by the State in the Institute, to twenty-five hundred dollars. On motion of Mr. Calhoun, of Pulton, the bill was further amended so as to free the State from any liability for the debts of the Institution, and to reserve to successive Legislatures the liberty of refusing the annual appropriation of fivo thousand dollars, as given in the bill. Mr. Hardeman, of Bibb, substitute mak ing a donation of a sufficient amount to cancel the debts of the Institution, and an appropriation of live thousand dollars to erect suitable collegiate buildings. He said he was opposed to making it a State In stitution, was willing for it to prosper and thrive, and was ready to advance it with State money, buEheJwanieil appropriations, however, liberal to be unquestionably specific, and then we would know when we were done aiding. He wished the blank in his substitute filled with an ample amount, and then he wished to stop. Mr. Miller moved to insert twenty-five thous and. Lost. This was no test vote. Many friends of the bill voted against the insertion. Being very sanguine as"to the safety .of the original, which was preferable to them, they were willing to risk the adoption of the substitute with a smaller amount. The Senato adjourned without proceeding fur ther. HOUSE. BILLS INTRODUCED. By Mr. Sapp, of Whitfield— A bill to give the election of City Marshal, Clerk, and Treasurer, of the city of Dalton, to the qualified voters thereof; to compel a publication of semi-annual Reports on tlie state of the city finances by the Mayor ; and to confer the election of County Treasurer of Whit field on the people of said county. By Mr. Montgomery —A bill giving all persons furnishing materials for the construction or re pairs of buildings the same lien as that now allow- j ed Masons and Carpenters. By Mr. Smith, of Tatnall—A hill to repeal the j act of 1854, giving persons in possession a prefer ence over others iu granting lands under the Head Rights laws; and conferring on occupants of un granted lands, who survey the same within three months after having received a written notice from the county Surveyor of the intention of some one else to do so, a paramount right to a grant to such land. The County Surveyor is entitled to a fee of one dollar for giving this notice. By Mr. Warthen, of Washington. -A bill au thorizing a levy of an extra tax of five thousand dollars for each of the years 1356, ’57 and ’SB, for county purposes, by the Justices of the Inferior Court of said county. By Caldwell, of Walker —A bill incorporating a railroad company, to construct a road from some point on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, at or near Johnson, to the town of Lafayette, m Walker county.

Phillips, of Habersham—A bill to re duce the stock of the Dalton and Gadsden Railroad Company to three hundred thousand dollars, with the privilege of increasing, as necessity may re quire for the completion of the Road.

By Mr. Wood, of Fannin A bill to incorporate the Georgia Baptist Convention. The biß giving the city authorities of Atlanta, the entire control of the retail traffic in spiritous liquors was passed, after having been amended so as to submit the question to the legal voters of the city ; to be determined by endorsement of ratifica tion or disapproval on their tickets. Mr. Terhune sought to kill the hill by numerous restraining amendments, all of which were decisive ly voted down. If finally passed by a large ma jority of the legal voters of the city of Atlanta, it becomes a law; if not, a nullity. The Elijav Railroad bill was taken up. Mr. Pickett, of Gilmer, offered a substitute basing the aid to be given on the same terms as that of the Brunswick Road. Mr. Smith, of Union, opposed the hill and Mr. Pickett, of Gilmer, favored it. Both the gentlemen made fervent speeches, mani festing a deep feeling. The hour for adjourning arrived, and the bill was necessarily left undisposed of. The rules of the House provide for the enter tainment of other matter in the afternoon, and the discussion will be resumed on to-morrow. Proba bly Mr. Crook’s suggestion may yet bo carried out, and this bill postponed until the “Brunswick bill” is disposed of. Mr. Crook urged its postponrnent in a short speech. He thought the principle involved in both bills the same, that the Brunswick and Florida Road was of far superior importance, and that it should first be acted on. Tlie bill appropriating money for the endow ment of the Atlanta and Savannah Medical Col leges, which was left on Saturday evening last to be called up this morning as “unfinished business” was made the special order of the day for Satur day next. House bills were read a second, and Senate bills a third time this evening.

PASSED A bill refunding to the Stale Band, three thou sand three hundred and nineteen dollars and nine ty-eight cents, the amount of taxes, improperly paid on the stock of the State in said Bank.

The Court is to be first satisfied of the truth of the facts set forth in the petition, before passing an order effecting the objects sought. The bill also provides that the marriage of the ; mother and reputed father of an illegitimate I | child, and the recognition of such child as his by the father, shall render the child legitimate. Bv Mr. Crowder—A bill for the relief of Shady A. Jackson, of Monroe countv. By Mr. Dixon— A bill incorporating Woodbury Lodge No. 149 of Free and Accepted Masons, in Meriwether county.

The violator of the oath prescribed, is made subject to indictment, conviction and punishment for perjury. Applicants are also required to pay the sum of fifty dollars into the county Treasury, audjpresent a receipt for it before the license issues. The bill seems to leave the granting of the license (although the various requirements of the statute maybe complied with) discretionary with the Justices of the Inferior Courts, as it provides that they “may grant,” Ac. By Mr. Hill— A bill limiting the operation of the act of 1852, requiring wills of personal proper ty to be executed as devices of real estate, to such will as may have been executed since its passage, or which may be hereafter executed. By Mr. Calhoun, of Fulton—A bill to require all Banks in this State, having Agencies, to redeem certain bills at the same, to prevent them from dis counting or buying bills, bonds or notes, at more than the lawful interest, and to prevent them from buying without the limits of this State such paper on the citizens of the same. N. Tim Influence of Storms.— Speaking of the barometrical phenomena of the lato severe storm in Boston, the Traveller says: “ This storm is another example of the correct ness of the remark frequently made in this paper, that whenever the barometer falls with a northerly wind, a change in weather, and generally bad weather, may bo expected. Indeed, after many years’ observations on this instrument, no other of its indications seems so reliable as this. The state ments or predictions too often engraved on the face of this instument, such as, fair, settled fair, stormy, rain, Ac., are worse than useless, as they are cal culated to deceive the inexperienced. Indeed, they are as unfounded as the ridiculous predictions of the weather, yet inserted in some almanacs. It j is hoped, therefore, that they may he omitted from every barometer that may hereafter be con structed.” From the Memphu Appeal , Jan 13. Death of Maj. R. A. Williamson. We have the sad duty to record the melancholy and horrible death of this estimable man-Maj. li. A. Williamson, Superintendent’of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad. This fearful accident occurred ves day morning about o’clock, some sixteen miles from town, on the ‘‘Hatchie Bridge,” over the wa ters known as Griffin’s creek, some three hundred yards from Shelby depot. Mr. W. was on the train as it passed the bridge, and in the hindmost | car, as it is supposed that he placed his head far i out of the train’s passage, and was looking back j ward when his head came in contact with a post of ! the bridge, killing him instantly. His body fell | from the car into the water below, and no one m ! the train was uoticing his position at the time of ! the accident, the train passed on without diseover -1 mg it. Maj. W. was a native of Baltimore, and has long j been known as connected with important railroad : enterprises in our country. For many years he i had been engaged on the Memphis and Charleston 1 road, giving much of life and impetus to the same, when he resigned his position and was placed in j the Bunn: official capacity over un important rail | road in Georgia. COMMERCIAL. Augusta Market, Jan. 22, 4 I*. M. COTTON.—The past week has not been marked by any particular activity iu the Cotton trade. While prices at the beginning, were higher than at the close, yet the same want of confidence has been apparent, Tho last Liverpool accounts, by the America, caused prices to decline from % to %, but buyers have not been anxious to enter the market, as even at that reduction, there was no margin left for profits from shipments.
