RILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE. , > !o endow the Southern Botanic Medical ' ( at Macon, with $5,000. Passed. i i'r.i-Jijill caused a very humorous and desultory r e'ussimi. The medical profession, or at least 1 part of it, i not a srnaU part either), termed , * were belabored most gloriously. The 1 - hers considered it a “free fight,” and struck • bit and left, without any regard for friend or • •' : . eaela one hent on showing his pluck. a A bill to require all Hanks having agencies, to 1 : -in noies of the same, to prevent them lrom i anting bonds, Ac., above a certain per cent. ) \ .(ibsiitnte was offered by the Committee, to whom : natter was referred, differing slightlv, in being u hub- ntor.- stringent. Nearly the whole morning • v a-'iin.-d in the discussion. The old theme < ; Wild <’.»t was largely expanded, aud also the -sitv of Hanks in the Interior, and the great j nm-idation thus afforded to the Interior citi- i Mr. WiNOFiELh, of Putnam, we think, took 1 soundest and most sensible view of the matter. < \nv ">ie would suppose from this bill that great ' in had been done to the people of Georgia ' ■ mi Hanks establishing agencies in our State, a iien, in fact, the reverse was the truth, for no . ate bad suffered less from a bad unsound curren- t Man ours. There was no necessity for this bill, | in i serious injury would be done, not only to home i b itiks who had established these agencies, but to > ; pi who lose sound banking facilities. Gen- i :.k-n --eined to think that the agencies would j en: the success of the Hanks just incorporated, t v tli-»• Hunks could not survive the competition e.iej agencies, they deserved to die, they would j i n tdeserve life. j s hr.

He s an "V -'-Vieiit speech in support of his amend- ; . ui, proving that great injury would be done to ( •ur i.ome Hanks by’encumbering them with such s binding vestvieuons and limitations. There were ; i ! v stringency towards the agencies of for- [ - igti Hunks, for die people might really suffer, but | wbenouronn banking institution established agen . ies, fbr i:i■ -a uomniodation of our own citizens, ;! o bow od-i otherwise be without any banking far i . iiiti.es at all, and moreover, when it was for the 1 I'.'st interests >.f ..ur Hanks to preserve their cur . i.i-v soun 1, lie did not think it was right to burden > mid bin-1 the agencies in such a manner that life ~ must necessarily depart He had written and made t-nijuiries, and ascertained that if this bill was ( issed, the S .vannali Banks would be necessitated to withdraw their agencies. Judge Conk replied, inveighing against Bank 1 ueii-s,: :ei commending any course which would :hiit, aud bind, and straight-jacket. them into a.- -•ate bordering on non-existence. He considered j them as benefittiug one section of country to the : detriment and injury of another, and hence he was "jiposed to them. He indulged in considerable laimor, aud excited laughter several times by pla- ; eing bis opponents in a laughable light. Mr. llakdeman, of Bibb, also spoke in favor of toe bill, contending that agencies did the neighbor- j ' ■.. is, in which they were located, very little ser . A man could rarely ever borrow money lrom them, and they would only transact business here an immense profit could be made. He spoke zainst them all, and deemed this bill a necessary 11, and demanded its passage as an act of pro- ■ non to the Upper Georgians. The “previous question” was called, and the '-na'c became most bewildering!;,' befogged in a irliameutarv niist, as to what the “previous ques- i n’ was, and the whole afternoon was consumed . a technical discussion, in which “previous ques ..'ii. ” "main question,” “substitute,” “ amend •eat,” “original bill” and “report cf the com ! i.ittee," were as inextricably confused and coin ■gied together, as if they had been thrown in | . ha:, shaken up, and one drawn at random, in . .pesos its being providentially the right one.

A bill to provide for the removal of free negroes : the State, or their voluntary return to servi tude. Passed. A bill to provide for the calling of a Convention, >a the happ-'ning of certain contingencies. This - the i -.' >Yr of the joint committee, and the con- MiM-wi.-D dr.-: the violation of the law s for the protection ~f slave States, etc., by Abolitionists, teri -renc,-of non-slaveholding States in a man r>i lecogmsr-d bv law and the Constitution. M. Lewi-, of Greene, introduced an amendment, -ini' that tin Governor should call together Legislature, instead of a Convention, which Was lost. Mv- ■ r-. ii \kris, of Fulton, and Jones aud Thorn ' Mus. ..gee, spoke lengthily in favor of the • idm. .it. and Messrs. Lawton, Crook, Ward, ■> ’ a "I Warren, and Smith, of l nion, supported : he bill. ' ig übiquitous, and being in the Senate " :i.-: diM iissiou was proceeding in the House; < moreover, having no proxy to take note of ciyt.ung more than business, 1 am unable to give r the speeches or a complete synopsis of them, i regret t-xceedingly, as tlu-v were of such a - r - rer a- to deserve publication, not only from -Incss and of sentiment, but "•■el -gance of diction, and power of language I - ;i they were delivered. There was coni " uiianinittv on the necessity of taking imtne s e an S decided action whenever any of the con - s. mentioned m the bill, should happen, of “ Aia- asserting her existing Constitutional - qaml privileges at every hazard, even though ; m - ; f the Union; but the question was, - the best, most convenient and wisest ■4 this? The supporters of the amend i"-t ied that it was placing in one man too I'-'sponsibiUtv and power, to give him the -e- ! deciding when sufficient cause had icnvn lor such bold and revolutionary action, I '' -ild most probably lead to the inost dis •' consequences to this confederacy. It re ■ i.ioined intelligence, wisdom, patriotism, asideration of the Legislature, who, just 31 homes, well acquainted with the wishes of their constituencies, could decide with more judgment and impartiality than one man, however sound, intellectual or deliberate. Such extreme i power should never be vested in one man. The opposite party looked upon the Georgia I platform,' which, by this action is to be carried in to execution, ns the unalterable, irrevocable, final l determination of the people of Georgia, upon the grand, and to them all momentous question of sla- I very ; and every contingency, being specified and ! Popularized, which shall be deemed as sufficient I cause for aggressive self-preservative proceedings : (,l »e man «* ul <l announce the happening of such as ■ well as a dozen men. Besides, there would be the expendiliii" of the Legislature, an important item i when it' was useless, and would be of no advantage j M ' lto - The amendment was lost aud the bill was put and carried. Ayes 78, navs 29. A. s - T! ’ e fashionable world was much astonish cii last luglit by some grand, religious, poetic, sav age, domestic, romantic, bumoroos and historic lablmvf, at the Milledgeville Hotel, bv the Hoard ers there. It seems that balls, parties, Ac., have become “an old thing, and being desirous of some new ' amusement, they hit upon UtUeaux as the most feasible and convenient, and interesting plan, and having obtained some old theatrical cos tumes, with the aid of a little wotioinly ingenuitv, tliev succeeded finely. 1 he bo- ■ of the representations were the “Dying •Scene, “Byron's Dream,” “Bonaparte,” “Curiosity :ii the I’ost Office,” “Parting .Scene,'' “Bashful < nintry Lover," and “Coming to get Married,” all i i which were most excellently executed. The dream of Byron was superbly done. One would almost suppose that lona tid 7 angels, minus wings had favored our earth. There was a scene in the life of John Smith, where he lies at the merev of tin- Indians, and is about to fall a victim to their cruelty*. We hope these will be repeated. Senatorial Daguerreotypes. [continued, i Mr. C Peebles, of Clarke, is a large, robust, healthy, fine looking man, with a large round head, ! lull face, with health and life glowing in every j lineament; short dark hair, and black eves, with an exceedingly frank, open look about ‘them ; a ; mouth and chin evincing determination and reso- | lution, and remarkably full, well developed fore hand. He carries bis bead in a manner showing independence. He is a man of more than ordina- ; ry mind well cultivated, and well informed by ju dicious reading, and possessing great fluency of language. lie talks with much rapidity, never pausing for want of a word to express his senti ments. He is an interesting speaker, though bv no means an orator, yet be will always be listened 1 to with attention, from the soundness of his views, ; and the ease with which he expresses them. lie generally adopts a quiet conversational tone in the utterance of his remarks. He is a common sense, practical man, and stands high in the Senate! He is verv gentlemanly in his intercourse with ; others. There is one defect in his character which ; we think rather against him. He is slightly su percilious, very slightly it is true, but perceptibly so though unnoticed after acquaintance. A ' fine lawyer, a sound Senator. Mr. H. Buchanan, of Coweta, i.-Ya pleasant, medi- i um-sized person; considered one*of the best law- 1 vers, and most conservative, sure men in the Sen ate. He has dark liair, sparkling bright blue eyes, ! and a mouth generally wreathed into a winning --mile that stamps him a true gentleman. lie lias a very peculiar voice, one that can be termed sil very, and so clear and euphonious that monotony j is never disagreeable, lie is a very earnest and | ready speaker, though he has not that deep violent tone of feeling necessary m the construction of the ! orator. He is incapable of being excited to phrenzy. I 1 do not remember ever to have seen him rutiled j out of his ordinary gentlemanly urbane self-pos se»ion, and whenever he has been engaged in an animated spirited discussion with anv member, his j feelings of propriety have prevented the use of anv I personalities. He has a very peculiar gesture, { which he constantly uses, viz : a horizontal waver ing of the arm, and tiie thumb and middle finger j of the hand together, and the other finger stand- I ing off perpendicularly. He is a close statistical debater, ami one of the best, most logical reason -rs in the Senate. A prominent characteristic of I him,is a spirit of enquiry, that prompts an thorough ; investigation into every matter, and lienee his com plete preparation when he speaks. He always j commands marked attention in the Senate, and j 1 we cannot help recommending him to the citizens ! of Coweta, as the one to send to the next General j Assembly as their Senator. Mr. Dtt.NX.vGAX,of Hull, is one of the oldest men in ! the Senate, and yet he isone of thequickest, sprigbt- i best debaters we have. Time has marked his face j with wrinkles, and bleached bis hair, but notwith ! standing, he has a laughing good humored couute- i nance, and an eye sparkling with fun. He loves a joke as well as any one, and sometimes perpetrates j tiie article, and never tails to create a laugh. He ! speaks very frequently, and never fails to indulge j in a little sly humor. He lias modicum of good - mud common sense, which added to bis years and ! experience, gain him marked respect. His voice 1 shows the effect of age, by ils shrillness and weak- j ness. He wears his beaver on the back of his head, something after the fashion of ladies bonnets of the j present day, only not “quite so much so.” He is an \ out-and-out peopleist, and the strickest kind of a con structionalisi; as particular and careful in guard ing against the lea>t assumption of the Assembly beyond the literal construction of its expressed j powers. Vet, he is strict m both direction. There j must be no inft-ingment by the people, upon the j admitted unquestionable prerogative of the Leg islature. !i is well to have such men in the Legis ; lative bodies, even though they are denominated j “old f-igies,” which is not the case with Mr. Drx naoan. He is too good a Senator to deserve such ‘ an appellation. Dr. James !*. Screven, of Chatham, is one ot i the brightest ornaments of this body. He is a type 1 of what a Senator should be, calm, dignified, high minded, honest liberal, and deliberate, lacking but one requisite, and an important one too, for setting . off to advantage the other good qualities, to com , \ nlete the categonv, viz This is the sun- i . light that causes the dew-drop to sparkle and emit I ‘ its many-lined gleams, that metamorphoses it into I . the living diamond, yet it is as much a diamond 1 when lying unglittering in the shade. So it is i ' with men; their mental attributes are in reality no stronger when garmented in the dazzling robe of i eloquence, but they are more prominent, more ! striking, more attractive. Dr. Screven is no talker, I but emphatically an acting, working man. Ilis merit is recognized by all, and he stands in the enviable position of being looked up to. Energetic j in examination and sound in discrimination and j judgment, his opinions are tiie results of the ap- j plication of unprejudiced and sound reason to facts, and this the Senators well know. The utmost de ference is paid by them to his suggestions. He is j small in statue, 'spare, and rather sharp features, ! wears an air of dignity that involuntarily corn- j mantis respect. Hair silvery, good head, and eyes calm and searching in expression. Dr. S. P. Landhi m, of Oglethorpe, though one ! of the youngest members, gives promise of a j bright future in legislation, if his energies and ta lents are turned iii this channel. He missed his vocation when he inserted his mental capital in medical stock, for he is eminently fitted to succeed in law and polities. He is stoutly built, and lias a | kind of a sailor's swagger when lie walks. Vert bold, independent looking man, with an air oi maniv openness, and frank good nature about him, that captivates. He has an excellent pbrenologi- j cal development, indicating (if there is any truth j I in phrenology, anil the tact here substantiates the ; indication) a vigorous mind, which is evidently well stored and tilled with information. He has a verv bright eye, an agreeable smile, and a courte ! ous manner. He combines, in himself, some of j die strongest elements oi success, and il bo 1 fails, upon his own head rest the responsibility. , He is an energetic and ready declailiter, and seems i to have sufficient confidence in himself, without overrating his own capabilities. If he is as good . an “M. D. ' as tWpromises to be » politician, I would advise the sicke to go to him to he either killed or ; cured , as they may desire. A.

' | Captain Campbell, residing in Knoxville, Ten ; j nessee, produced last summer, from one hundred and fifty vines of the Cahatvba grape, twelve bar t rels of wine, equalling about four hundred gal j lons. Three or four gentlemen around Knoxville ! have commenced the cultivation of the vine in good . i earnest. Newspapers.— Dr. Johnson, when in the fullness j of years and knowledge, said : “ I never take up a ‘ newspaper without finding something I would i have deemed it a loss not to have seen ; never ! without deriving from it instruction and amuse- j ■ j ment.” The Commercial Advertiser states that a gentle- j man residing at the South has generously devoted the handsome sum of thirty-five thousand dol lars for the purpose of building an emigrant ship to run between New York and Chesapeake Hay and Liberia. The new steamer Persia sailed from New Vork on \\ ednesday, on her first trip from the United States to Liverpool. She carries one hundred aud fifty-three passengers, among whom we notice Lord Burt, whose name was freely used in some of the Canadian papers last summer, and Lady Burt, his young wife, who is a daughter of Sir Allan McNab The Persia also took out $703,000 ia specie. Revision of the Scriptuues.- The established church of England are agitating the subject of a revision of the scriptures. At a meeting of both houses of convocation of Canterbury, at West minster, on the Ist iust., Canon Sklwvn gave no tice of motion : “To propose a petition to the upper house, re questing his grace and their lordships to take into their consideration the subject of au address to the crown, praying that her most gracious majesty may be pleased to appoint a body of learned men, well skilled in tile original languages of the holy scriptures : “To consider of such amendments of the autho rized version as have been already proposed, and to receive suggestions from all persons who mav be willing to oner them; "To communicate with foreign scholars on diffi cult passages when it may be deemed advisable; “To examine the marginal readings which ap pear to have been introduced into some editions since the year 1011: 2J“T«> point out such words and phrases as have cither changed their meaning or become obsolete in the lapse of time.” What was to have been expected. The Lan caster (Pa.) luteUiijeticer gives the following brief sketch of the rise, progress, and fall of a Know j Nothing parson: “Many of our readers will recollect Keys, j the Know Nothing preacher, who several times ; held forth to mixed audiences of men and boys, in the public square of this city, during the summer : of ls.'i-i, he being then a resident of Lancaster, and 1 high in the Know Nothing Councils. Subsequent ly lie became editor of a Know Nothing sheet pub- : fished at Tyrone city, in this State, in which lie characterized himself as one of the most vindictive and scurrilous defamers of the Democratic party and principles anywhere to be found. After soma time, it was said by the Know Nothing papers that 1 he had withdrawn from the United-Brethren con- I nexion ; but the Tyrone Democrat says that he was 1 ‘ thrown overboard, Bishop Glossbrenner, the | head of that church, thinking his case too scanda- j lons to investigate.’ ” Short of Cash.— We observe in ilia New V'ork , Tribune, ti letter from Nicaragua of the latest date from thence, wherein the writer says : “The government is understood to be in a light place for funds, and certain persons representing } Walker in the States are empowered to negotiate a loan. .I Toney is note a necessity. ,W one of the : soldiers Ini re received a di/m since the opening of the ; campaign, and therp is much discontent and oven insubordination among the troops on this subject. Two companies stationed at Leon had revolted, and refuse to do garrison duty until all arrearages of back pay have been settled. The excitement ; by this intelligence was everywhere ri ible in i Granada.” Tiie following extract from the lion. Miss Mur- I rat’s book will be news to many people: “Savannah seems a large town, with many plea sant squares, in one of which this (Pulaski) hotel is situated. It is called in memory of a fine steam er of that name, which, before boilers were well regulated, blew up and engulpbed members of al most all the principle families in this place. Increase of Crime- Decline in Religion, and the Cause Thereof. It is undoubtedly true that crime has increased I at least two fold, in nearly all the States, in the last five years. During the same period, Christianity, in most of the old States, has been at a perfect 1 stand still. In the city of New York, we are relia bly informed, there are not so mam Christian com j lminieants outside of the Catholic ‘Church, as there i were even ten years ago ; and almost every where 1 else the same or similar results are shown by mi- j doubted statistics, and admitted by the highest au- I thoritv in the churches. Something has produced these results; and there can be no harm, we think, in inquiring what it is. If Christianity really possesses the beauties and virtues that are attributed to it, and vice is really the hideous monster the moralist and poets have painted it how comes it that Christianity is decli ning, and vice increasing Y As citizens, if not as : Christians, we have a right to ask this question ; for the community and the State are alike interest- ! cd in it. It is our right to answer it. also, if we i are willing to submit our answer to the scrutiny and criticism of both tiie political and the religious j communities. We say, then, in the exercise of this right, that j the present deplorable state of things, can be at tributed, with perfect justice, to this single fact j that for the last ten years the constant tendency in j the moral aud religious world has been, to au aban donment of those instrumentalities pointed out in the Sacred Scriptures as affording remedies and ' restraints for the vices of the world ; and a reliance, j in their stead, upon coercive enactments, to be en- j forced by severe and sometimes abhorrent penal ties. In other words, the tendency has been to abandon the effective influences of other times, and resort to the machinery of government to accom plish whatever seemed desirable in the matter of | moral improvement. The time was—for vva can recollect it—when the ) ' Christian minister spoke occasionally of the bean ties and steadfast pleasures of Christianity—when he told us that the way of the transgressor was ' hard, while the way of the believer was pleasant and cheerful—when he warned his hearers against the snares and pitfalls of the world, against the sins that most easily beset them, against intoler mice and bigotry, against oppressions of the poor, against lving and cheating, aud against pride and extortion; when he appealed to all men to lead vir tuous lives and leave virtuous examples—to go out - into the highways and byways in search of the : down-trodden —tojpreach consolation to the alllict i t-d, repentance to the wrong-doer, and faith to the feeble—to attend to the sick, visit ihose in prison, | feed the hungry and clothe the naked to be kind, - gentle and sincere to persuade men, rather than * drive them, and in all things to remember that all were the children of a common Father. In these times, we had societies for the promotion of tem perance and other undoubted virtues: and then ■ influence, gentle but powerful, was felt everywhere in everv city and v illage, in every neighborhood, in every dwelling. Then, every community, every family- nav, the State itself—owed a debt of grat itude'to these barriers against vice. How is it now ? The temperance societies, and nearly all their cotemporary organizations in the work’of reform, are dead ; and their n!A support ers are weary and worn out with tv five years cru sade against intemperance audits accompanying vices through the political channels. They nave been trying the machinery of government—the : Maine l!aw battleaxe—shouting for dungeons, and 1 bolts and bars learning to hate and curse their 1 enemies—and wondering, sometimes, we suppose, why God did not annihilate every body and every thing which did not yield peaceably to their man , i dates. And this new madness lias gone into the church. 1 This minister bus become politician, and told us who and what to vote for. In the morning we - have had the Maine Law; in the afternoon, anti- Nebraska and the Wilmot Proviso; and in the evening Know Xothiugism. This, we admit, has i not been true of every church and minister. Some denominations have kept themselves out <>t tin - whirlpool; and in others, there have been many i noble instances of a refusal to exchange religion , for polities. Nevertheless, enough has been wit i : nessed to sicken and disgust the community, and to produce those results to which we have already rl referred. The precepts of Christianity have been disregarded; practical Christianity have been d j voted obsolete. Who wonders that crime has increased? Whc e wonders that vice flourishes V Wonders that mur der follows murder? Is it reasonable to expec r that the world will grow better so long as the pul pit is a political rostrum, and the reformer a men i- advocate of chains and dungeons. Providence Post. i- Middletown, Feb. 20. —The Freshmen class ii the University were suspended this morning.

One Week Later from Europe. | N l:w York, Feb. 21. —The steamers Atlantic ! and Asia arrived to-day, bringing Liverpool dates j to the 9th. Peace negotiations were progressing favorably. ! The preliminaries had been duly ratified, and the I conference would be opened in Paris in about three I weeks. The aspect of affairs, however, between : England and the United States was threatening. } The story of a difficulty between Mr. Buchanan j and Lord Clarendon is repeated, and it was even j reported that the former had demanded his passports. The tone of the Government or- j gans was highlv offensive towards the Uni- I ted States. The latest report is that Sir If. L. * I Bulwer had offered to mediate between Mr. Buch * 1 a. van and the English Ministry. e ! In consequence of these events, Consols had re * | ceded to 90Vj at the middle of the week, but sub ! .equently rallied, closing at 91@91J£. 1 Cotton was quiet, with sales of 58,000 bales. Some circulars quote prices as easier. Advices j from Manchester were unfavorable. Money more v stringent. Flour had declined 3s. bbl. Corn t j l@2s. jf cvvt., and Wheat Sd.qJlOd. "y bushel. Arrival of the Daniel Webster. * 1 -New Orleans, Feb. 25.—The steamer Daniel | Webster has arrived with San Francisco dates of " I the sth. | Col. Kinnet has gone to Granada to effect au al - i liance with Walker. All the Central American , j States had formed an alliance except Nicaragua. j j The San Francisco markets were declining. Miu- I ingand Agricultural accounts were favorable. No Senator had yet been elected. Sanders and Hammond, both formerly collec j tors of San Francisco, had been indicted for cm f bezzliug funds. There had been no fighting in Oregau since the I ! last advices. The American National Convention. Philadelphia, Feb. 25. The American Conven- ! tion re-assembled to-dav. A resolution declaring ; j that the National Council has no right to prescribe i a platform, and that no candidates should be nom- ! inuted who were not in favor of the restoration of j the Missouri Compromise, was voted down bv 141 j jto 59. The Convention then resolved to proceed ; ! to balloting, mid were on the eve of taking a vote when the delegates from Connecticut, Massacliu- j | setts, Rhode Island, Ohio, and portions of delega- j ‘ tionsfrom lowa, Pennsylvania and Illinois seceded From Kansas. Sr. Louis, Feb. 25.- Advices from Kansas to the 14th state that the Kickapoo Rangers were threat- , j cuing hostilities, and that the Free State men were i i preparing to meet them. Markets. Charleston, Feb. 25.- Stiles of eleven hundred bales Cotton. Prices tend lower, but there is no i quotable change. Telegraphed to the Charleston Mercury. Later from Europe. New York, Feb. 24. The U. S. Mail Steamship Atlantic, Cupl. West, has arrived at this port from j Liverpool, with advices to the oth inst., tour days : later than those by the Canada. The Liverpool Cotton Market Was dull, and the ’ sales during the three days comprised 38,000 bales, I of which speculators took 4,00' i and exporters4,ooo ' bales. The Circular of Messrs. Brown and Ship- \ ley states that the market closed steady at previous 1 rates. The Liverpool Breadstujf's Market -Had considers- j j bly declined, and Flour was dull at Is. per barrel ; I less than at the departure of the Canada. For | Corn there was but little speculative demand, and j i prices were unchanged. The Liverpool Provision Market-:. Pork, Beef, and Lard, were quid. For Western Bacon there : was an improved demand.

No until bail arrived from i the l nited States since the arrival at Liverpool of the Atlantic. Nothing of interest had been receiv- j cd from the Crimea or Asia Minor, The last docks at Sebastopol had been destroyed. Prince Pas kiewich is dead. Peace progresses favorably. An armistice will he concluded, to lust probably" until the end of 1 March It is said that it will be confuted to land operations. The premlinttinaries of a Protocol were signed at Vienna, !ir.->i by the representatives j of France, England and Turkey, Russia and Aus | tria agreeing to open a conference in Paris within three weeks. It was rumored, but not generalh ! credited, that Lord Clarendon would be the Eng lish Plenipotentiary, and that the Emperors of j Russia and Austria would \isit Paris during the i Conference. There was considerable excitement in England . respecting the probability of war with the Lnited States, i.ortl Palmerston had promised to lay part j of the Central American correspondence before ! j Parliament. j It was reported that Mr. Buchanan had demand od his passports. The English papers, however, are silent respecting the difficulty said to have oc i curved between that gentleman and Lord Claren ! don ; but it is reported that the latter had spoken in the most imperious manner, which conduct Mr. Buchanan promptly checked by closing the inter view. Mr. Buchanan’s absence from Lord Pal , merston’s soiree is attributed to this cause. The : general tone of the Government Press is insulting i to the United States, but the feeling of the people j iis friendly. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce i deprecate the idea of an American war. Matters, : ' however, seem critical. The Derby party intend to i : bring forward a motion before Parliament on the | subject of the omission of all allusion to the United States in the Queen’s speech. France and England j are about to send envoys to Brazil to influence her I on Central American affairs. Still Lnter.

General Intelligence. —The Peace Plenipotentia ries were beginning to assemble in Paris. Sir llenry Bulvver had offered to mediate between Mr. i Buchanan and Lord Clarendon. In the House of ■ t Commons, Lord Palmerston announced that the 1 I correspondence on Central American affairs would 'j be laid before Parliament when completed. Mr. 1 Bailie postponed his motion in relation to the en -1 j lestment of soldiers in the United States until the y ! correspondence should be published. The latest advices received at Liverpool by telegraph front 1 London on the 9tli inst., state that the London Times of that date censures the course taken by the *• English and American Cabinets, and, after remark ing that even hnmanity’must have limits, concludes , e : bv saving; 1 “ We are as desirous of peace as Mr. Cobden can be, but we know that when a nation becomes too proud to listen to reason, the only appeal is to '* . arms.” Il ‘ The British steam frigate Polyphemus hadTteen •' ; totally lost on the northwest coast, of Jutland. The ship Ocean Rover, Capt. Pickering, which ‘j sailed from Charleston on the 7th of January for I Liverpool, had been on shore on Crosby Point, near Liverpool, which caused her to leak slightly.

New York, Feb. 23. —Cotton is firm, and the sales to-day comprised 1500 bales. Flour is firm at previous rates. Wheat has declined, and West ern Red is worth $1.75 per bushel. Corn is firm , ia and unchanged. Rice is qriiet at *5.25 per 100 \] s. Freights are firm. I New Orleans, Feb, 23.—Cotton is steady at pre If. vious rates, 1200 bales were sold to-day. Exchange on London is worth 108%, A bill has been introduced in the Legislature of- New York for the incorporation of certain individ j uals, headed by Professor Morse, and including ! several of our well known citizens, as a “Trans- Atlantic Telegraph Company,” with a power to con i struct a line of telegraph across the Atlantic j ocean, between the continents of Europe and j North America. 1 The following memorandums are from the manu scripts left by a broken banker : A man’s credit is best when he least requires it. When the depositors run on the bank, the banker j should run front it. A reputation for honesty is more valuable than the real article. The former is always serviceable; the latter sometimes in the way. | Cash, when vou can employ it, is always your j ; servant. Credit, in the end, is certain to become ! your master. j The difference between an honest and dishonest i banker is, that one fails in making money, the oth- ! ! er makes money in failing. An Ohio Know Nothing.—Mr. O. P. Brown, of , Portage Co., a Know Nothing member of the Ohio • Legislature, while discussing the other day, the I ■ i Fugitive Slave Case in Cincinnati, said that he 1 “thanked God he had often violated the infernal j . j Fugitive Slave Law, and prayed to God he might have many more opportunities of violating the | hellish enactment.” And this is the kind of a chap Kentucky slave . | holders are expected to exchange signs and grips I i with, and march arm-in-arm with to the Spoils, | , and in accordance with their oath, vote for the ! same candidate for the Presidency. Such an asso- ! 1 ciation is unnatural and offensive, and cannot ex ’ ist long. Honest men will hasten to relieve them -elves of an obligation which compels such repul sive fellowship.— Lou. Courier. ’ | Night plants and house-plants, when exposed to the full light of the sun of day, languish, wither and die. This is a fact in Botany, and from recent events, it also appears to be so in politics. Last fall the Know Nothing Order—a political | night plant and house-plant- flourished with as-! tonishing vigor, and grew up with amazing rapidi ty. This Order is now being exposed to the light ! of the sun of day—to the scrutiny of the public j and to the trials of popular judgment. The conse- I quence is, its repudiation and defeat by the people. ! Syracuse Journal. i The Wreck of a Steamship.—Capt.
