The Kuataii Warrant.
\\ last we have the Queen’s warrant for erect in
the island of Ruatan and certain other islands in
the Bay of Honduras into a colonv, under tin
name of “ Bay Islands." It is a document of pe
euliar interest at present. The warrant discloses
tn us the existence of a Constitution simple in its
provisions. The whole is comprised in four folio
pages, and in twenty-eight paragraphs or clauses, ;
with a preautble. The powers of government art
intrusted to the Governor of Jamaica; who is con- j
stituted Governor of the Bay Island Colony, and ]
authorized to act as sovereign, without any further
instructions from England, in the making' of laws ■
tin the colony and framing (he financial estimates;
tn alienate the Royal lands to private persons; to '
present qualified persons for ordination by the
Bishop ot Jamaica to officiate in churches, chapels, j
or any other ecclesiastical benefices; to constitute |
and appoint judges and officer* of justice; to sus- !
pend officers commissioned by the Crown itself; ]
to pardon offenders ; to give warrant for the custo- j
dv of idiots, lunatics, and their estates; and to
delegate his authority to a Lieutenant Governor. !
Ii will be seen that the power of the Governor (
of the Bay Islands Colony exceeds that of many t
(. ivcrnors of much more important settlements. " |
He is, indeed, to do some of these things “by i
and with the advice” of the General Assembly, or
the major nart thereof; and this General Assem
bly is peculiarly constituted. It is to consist ot
twelve members, of whom three shall retire annu
ally. They are to be chosen by electors of certain *
vualifications, which are to be specified in further i
letters-patent. orders in Council, or instructions
through the Secretary of State; they are to he the j
owners of land, tenements, or hereditaments in j
the colony ; and they “ shall be able to read and I
write English.” It is evident from the terms ot
this statement that the constituencies are notes
pected to be purely English by birth The mode I
us voting at elections is peculiar; ‘‘Everyelector, i
qualified as aforesaid, shall be entitled to give i
three votes, and shall be entitled at his discretion j
t' give such three votes to the three separate can- !
ili Jates, or to give two of such votes, or all of them,
to .me candidate.” This provides for a full rep ;
; .-vernation of a respectable minority in the colony, i
The General Assembly is empowered to vote the !
estimates introduced by the Executive ; and the
Governor retaius a negative voice in the making of ’
laws, with a further restraint that the laws, slat- I
utes and ordinances, “not to be repugnant, but as I
nearly as may be agreeable to the laws and statutes i
of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ire- '
land.” This is a peculiar Constitution discovered
t.i fie already existing in the British empire, and it j
is not less peculiar that we discover its existence i
font- years after its birth !
The warrant, however, is principally interest 1
iug at the present time for its bearing on the Clav
t m-Bulwer treaty. We are bickering with the i
United States of America about our tenure in that 1
quarter. When Sir Henrv Bulwer and Mr. Clay- |
ton, on behalf of Great Britain and the United !
States, arranged their well known convention. Sir
Henry stipulated that the settlement of Belize
should be exempted from the operation of the !
treat* We had also exercised a protectorate over
the Mosquito Indians, a tribe of a territory not :
well defined. The Belize territory had been ex
tended under treaty with Spain, ratifying an en
croachment made by British subjects from the i
Siboon River, which was originally its southern I
limit to the Surstoon. In thus excepting the Bel
ize settlement, it does appear probable that Sir
Henry Bulwer intended to except all the territorv
then claimed by Great Britain on the right of suf
ferance and custom. The purpose of the Clavton-
Bttlwer convention was, jointly, “to facilitate and
protect the construction of a ship-canal between
the Atlantic and l’acific Oceans." The first arti- 1
ele of the treaty contains these words :
“The Governments of the United States and
Great Britain hereby declare, that neither one nor
the other will ever obtain, or maintain for itself,
any exclusive control over the said ship-canal;
agreeing that neither will ever erect or maintain
any fortifications commanding the same in the vj- ;
cinitv thereof, or occupy, or fortify, or colonize, j
orassume, or exercise, any dominion over Xicara- j
gua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part j
of Central America: nor will either make use of
any protection which either affords or may afford,
or any alliance which either lias or may have to or
with any State or people, for the purpose of erect
ing or maintaining any such fortifications, or of '
occupying, fortifying, or colonizing Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of
Central America, or ot assuming or exercising do
minion over the same."
This convention was concluded on the 10th
April, 1850; the ratifications were exchanged on j
the4th of July, 1850.
By the tide of the warrant which has just been
returned to the House of Commons, the islands
nt Ruatan, Ac., are described as “lving in the
Bay of Honduras.” The preamble to the warrant
and its first two clauses run thus —
“ Whereas it has been represented unto us, that
the Islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, Util lu, Helene,
Barbarat, and Moxat, in the Bay of Honduras, are
inhabited by divers subjects of our crown, who
are rapidly increasing in numbers, and we have
therefore deemed it expedient to make provision
for the government of the settlement or settle
ments already formed and to be formed in these i
islands: I
“1. Now, know ye that we, of our especial grace, i
c -rtain knowledge, aud mere motion, have thought i
tit to erect, and do hereby erect, the said islands of I
Ruatan, Bonacca, Utilla, Helene, Barbarat, and j
Moxat, and their dependencies, into a colony ; and ;
the some are hereby erected into a colony accord i
iiiglv.
"2. And we do hereby declare that the said
island- -hall be kn.nvn and designated as the colo ,
nv of the Kay Islands.”
The date of this warrant is “Given at our Court
at Buckingham Palace, this day of March, j
1' iS, iu the eleventh year of our reign.” Here is !
“a colony” erected almost two years after the j
Clavton convention ; hereare “islands in the Bar 1
of Honduras” formed into “a settlement.” The j
warrant and the proceedings which it sanctions j
and reports certainly appear to he incompatible |
with the obligations incurred under the conven
tion. The British Ministers, it is said, have offered
to refer the construction of the treaty to arbitra
tion; the American reply is, that the purport of
the English language is too plain to need arbitra
tion. Mr. Clayton has already given us the inter
pretation of tlie text of which he was part author;
the other author was lair Henry Bulwer, and it
would he verv interesting to know whether h
used the words which we have quoted above in any
special or non-natural sense.
There mav he, independently of technical rights,
reasons why we persevere iu the protection ot our
subjects on the island of Ruatan and its small
neighbors, or in onr protectorate of the Mosquito
Indians. These reasons, we learn from Lord Pal
merston, are to be stated in the letter which Lord
Clarendon is to write for the United States Gov
ernment after his return to England. It would
have been convenient if they had been effectively
stated at an earlier stage in the dispute; but they
will he awaited with some interest now, since, it
the reasons are convincing, it is possible that the
Americans mav waive their technical right in con
sideration of the merits of the question, it is up
on the substantial merits, indeed, that the ques
tion must eventually rest; and it is a pity that we
cannot escape from a dispute as to the terms of the
treaty, to something like a plain understanding
upon the points about which the officials on both
sides are disputing.
So usn Politicvl Anvics.— ' The following from
the Monticello Sullivan county) Watehm-rn i'hard t
is in striking contrast with the tone of the ex
tracts which we recently gave from the New York
Whw. It is sound and patriotic, and every true
Democrat will respond to it.
"But Democrats have a duty to perform, if thev
wish to he successful. They must unite cheerful
ly, heartily and honestly upon a national platform
'-such as was adopted by the Baltimore Conven
tion. such as was shawdowed forth in the Inaugu
ral Address of President Pierce, and such as was
reiterated at the caucus of the Democrat members
of the present Congress. They must not only
adopt such, a creed but there must be a strict adher
ence to it; and old political sins must be forgiven.
There must be no jealousies, no bickering nor re
crimination. The words barn-burner, frecsoiler,
hunker, soft-shell, hard-shell, halt-shell, should be
striken from our vocabulary, and us the national
Democracy of the Union, and as such only, should
we be recognised and known.
“As for ourselves, we are prepared to do battle
for the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention,
whoever they may be. We fight for principles;
and although we are not indifferent as to the indi
vidual who shall be our standard bearer in the
coming political condict, vet we shall most cheer
fully and zealously put forth our efforts to secure
hu election, whoever that person maybe.”
From the Loudon If'eekly Chronicle
Jules Gerard, the Lion-killer.
Ihe race ot Nimrod is not yet extinct. The old
hereditary instinct of destructiveness has survived
the wreck of ages, and is living and ruling in
1 j modern days. In England its finest development
of late lias been in the person of Gordon Cum-
I ming; mi ranee the result is Jules Gerard. Ge
rard is a Frenchman. In his earliest youth he
was a fire-eater. A boy at a village feist saw a
huge giant-like ruffian ill using a w* man, a crowd
I them looked on in silence, and no
one interfered. The boy stepped between the vie
; ,nn a,ld her tyrant, and said to the latter, “You
are a coward, leave this woman in peace, or I shall :
1 , no , ck -f" do'vn on the spot.” The man was
eaten by the boy. Jules Gerard of course was
• the boy.
There were live Hons in France—contemptible
, tellows. Our hero soon extinguished their lillipu
tian roar, and looked round and sighed for a
grander field. Accordingly he joined the Spahis,
. aild landed at Bone, in Algeria, the 19th of June,'
Gerard soon wearied of ordinary life. There '
were lions in Africa—terrible ones to devour as
well as roar—very different to the good natured
1 ; fellows shot by Gordon Gumming. Lions that
routed and desolated whole Arab settlements.
Gerard resolved to war with them. He was call
ed to this life bv the highest motives. It was no
1 sordid love of fame or gain that actuated him.
On the contrary, he was but an instrument in the
: hands of that Brovidehce bv whom his life was
j upheld to deliver the Arabs from their most
dreaded foes, and to advance the cause of civiliza
tion and humanity. For ten years Gerard pur
sued this life, bearing innumerable hardships,
j meeting with innumerable adventures, surround
ed by innumerable dangets, yet always victori
| ous, and, at length, crowned with the laurel wreath
j of fame.
The English translator is of an enthusiastic dis
position. He has had interview with the lion
killer. “It seems to me hardly possible,” writes
the editor, who modestly conceals his name under
the obscure initials, “T. W. M.," “that those deli
i cate and slender hands, which he crossed before
j him after the manner of the Arabs, had realty i
| given the death-blow to so manv of the hitherto !
| invincible monarchs of the Atlas, and it was not
i until I hud examined, as closely as courtesy per
! mitted me to do, his long and sinewy arms, erect
port, clear and expressive’eyc, and a certain nux
f ture of modesty and self-confidence, that 1 was
i ;, hle to recognize in him the greatest of all hunters
; since the days of Nimrod, and the man who has
| confronted, with calm and reflecting courage, dur
j a long series of years, more appalling dangers
than perhaps have ever been encountered by am
nther being, warrior or sportsman, living or dead.”
j The only comment on this would he a favorite ex
j claraation ol one of the heroes in the “Vicar of
Wakefield.” But Jules Gerard shall speak for
himself. Wc extract his first
EXCOCNTUB WITH A LION.
They lutd scarcely gone ten paces, when a most
formidable roar resounded in the ravine at oui
very feet. This roar filled my heart with so much
jov, that, forgetting the unfortunate state of mv j •
gun,, aud without caring whether 1 was followed
or not, 1 dashed through the wood in seurch of the I
lion.
When i ceased to hear him, I stopped to listen
Bou-aziz and Bnu-oumbask were upon my heels,
pale as ghosts, not daring to speak, but gesticula
ting at a great rate, to make ine comprehend that
I was sacrificing my life. A few minutes after the
lion roared again, at about a hundred paces from i
us; and aj the very first growl I dashed forward,
rushing through the wood with the impetuosity of I '
a wild animal. j |
M lieu the lion ceased to roar, 1 halted again in
a mail glade, where my two companions joined i
me. M y dog, who until then had kept behind me, 1
without .-cluing to comprehend, began to snulf j 1
the wind; then lie entered the wood cautiously, ;
with his hair bristling aud his tail low—a minute j
after he came galloping back much frightened, and
crouched down between my legs. I
Soon after this 1 heard loud and heavy steps on 1
the leaves which covered the ground, aud the rust
ling of a huge body through the trees bordering
the glade, ft was the lion himself leaving his
lair, and ascending towards us, without suspecting
our presence. Bou-aziz and the spahi were already
shouldering their guns. ' ! ]
T then pointed out to them with my foot a ten i
rise some paces behind me, telling them not to stir
from that spot until the end of the drama, a com
mand which they did not fail to obc-v. Indeed, 1 1
must give these worthy fellows much credit for
persisting in staving bv me, notwithstanding their
extreme terror, f. >r, judge it as you please, I, foi
lin' part, think ii no mean courage, when you have j ;
your doubts about the success of an adventure, to ! .
accept the passive part of spectator, and to remuin ■
unmoved on the scene of action.
The lion was still ascending; 1 could now nieas
ure the distance which separated me from him. (
and could distinguish the regular, rumbling sound ’
of hi- heavy breathing. I then advanced a few
paces nearer to the edge of the glade where I ex- j
pected him to appear, in order to have a chance ot (
shooting him closer. I could already hear him
advancing at thirty paces, then at twenty, then at ‘
fifteen; still I felt no fear. All I thought was. j
suppose he were to turn back V Suppose he does
uot come out into the glade! And at each sound, •
which showed him nearer to me, mv heart beat ,
louder, in a complete rapture of joy and hope. ,
One anxious thought only crossed my mind. ,
“What if my gun were to miss tire!'” said 1, ;
glancing down upon it. But confidence again pre- 1
vailed, and iny only anxiety was for the long-wish- J
ed for appearance of tuy foe.
The lion, after a short pause, which seemed to s
me an age, began to come forward again; ami
presently 1 could see before me by the starlight, at ?
but a few paces off, the top of a small tree, which
I could almost touch, actually shaken by the con- .
tact of the lion. This was his last pause. There
was now between us two but the thickness of that
single tree, covered with branches from the foot :
upwards.
I was standing with mv face to the wood, and
with my gun pointed, so as to be ready to fire the
moment the animal should enter the glade ; and '
having still an interval of about a second, I took (
advantage of it to make sure that I could regulate !
properly the aim of my barrel. Thanks to a glim
mer of light which came from the West, to the *
clearness of the sky filled with shining stars, and !
to the whiteness of the glade, which was couspic- 1
uous against the dark green of the forest, 1 could f 1
just see the end of my barrels; that was all, but it '
j sufficed for so close an aim. It is scarcely m-ces-
I sarv to sav that 1 did not waste much time in this
investigation.
I was beginning 1o find that the animal was
rather slow in his motions, and to fear that, in
stead of advancing unsuspiciously, he had become
aware of mv presence, and was about to spring
over the len’tise which separated us. As if to jus
tify this fear, the lion gave toot- three deep growls,
and then began to roar furiously .
Ob' my fellow disciples of Saint Hubert! you, ;
who can feel and understand, fancy yourselves at
night in the open forest, leaning against a small
tree, out of which rises a vollev ot roars enough
to drown the noise id thunder itself. Imag
ine yourselves with only one single shot to lire on
this formidable animal,'who only falls by the mcr- :
est chance under a single ball, and who kills his
I opponent without uiercv, if lie is not killed him
self.
You can doubtless understand that, had I trust- j
ed to mv strength alone, my heart would have ;
failed me'; in spite ot my efforts my eyes would ‘
have become dim, and mv hand unsteady. Tos ;
I will confess frankly and’without shame, that ter- j
riblc roar made me feel that man was small indeed
iu the presence of the lion ; and without a firm |
will and that absolute confidence which 1 derived
from <he inexhaustible source of all power, I be- j
lieve 1 should have failed in that awful moment.
But this strength enabled me to listen to the tie- j
: mendous voice of my enemy without trembling, !
or even emotion; and to the end I retained !
a perfect mystery over the pulsations of my heart
; and a full control over iny nerves.
When 1 heard tin* lion make a last step, 1 moved
a little aside; and no sooner did his enormous!
head rise out of the wood, at two or three yards dis- j
i tan re from rue, and he stopped to stare at me with ;
a look of wonder, than I aimed between the eye j
! and ear, and slowly pressed the trigger. From
! the iustani I touched this, until I heard the report
;of the gnu, ray heart ceased to beat.
After the shot I could see nothing ; hut through
the smoke which enveloped the lion 1 heard the
most tremendous, agonising, and fearful! v-pro- ,
traeted roar. Mv two men meantime had jumped
\ up, but without’making a step forward, and una
; hie to see anything, stood with their guns shoul
' dered ready’to fire. For myself, 1 waited, dagger
in hand, and one knee on the ground, until the i
smoke should disperse, and I could see how mat
ters stood. As soon as all was clear I beheld— i
first one paw—and heavens, \\ nat a paw . then ;
one leg, then a shoulder, then a head—and, at last,
the whole body of my enemy. He lay on his side
and gave not the smallest sign of life!
"fake care, do not approach him yet, cried
Bouaziz. throwing a large stone, which bounded
from tl< Hun's corps'.
Hi; was dead ! „ , , . .

Clue o Vines.—-The vigor ol many ot out na
tive vines forces out an exuberant growth of the
buds, three or more often breaking out from each
joint. As this would diffuse and weaken the
growth, all but one, the strongest, should he rub
bed off with the linger before they exhaust the
vine too mush. This should therefore be done so
1 soon as the promise of fruit is sufficiently devel
oped to be a guide in thinning the shoots.
“ It will very soon be discovered that the topmost
, | eyes, or buds, having started earlier than the oth
ers, and received the greatest flow of sap, will be
- taking the lead, at the expense of their followers.

Trade Circular of Magu ire, Hyde & Co.
Maxohkstkk, May Ist, 1850.- ~.s',Y Those expec- i
tations of a gradual improvement, both as respects |
the demand for and the prices of the staple pro |
ducts of this manufacturing district, to which we
gave expression in our circular, of the Ist inst..
have not been disappointed by the progress of ;
events. Througlmut the month there has been an
increasing enquiry from the chief foreign mar- |
kets, as well as for thy home consumption, :tl- .
though the restricted condition of the money mar
ket, which has experienced no relaxation, lias re- ;
tnatned unfavorable to the development of com- 1
mereial enteri>rise. The production, vast as it is, j
lias been steadily counterpoised by demand, and as i
stocks have had no 'opportunity to accumulate to
any considerable extent, spinners and manufactur
ers have felt themselves in a position to enforce
higher terms, or reject the offers made, if below
their views. The circumstances of the country
have continued eminently favorable to the impor
ters of the chief staples of the United States of
America- cotton and corn. The former has stead
ily advanced in value, in the face of what is be
lieved wilt prove the largest crop on record, and
the rates at present ruling here for the latter, and i
which fer some time are likely to continue, ittdi- j
cute that this country is and will be a valuable i
market to the Agriculturists of America. From a j
Parliamentary return recently issued by the Hoard j
of Trade, it is shown that the consumption of cot- j
ton in Great Hritain has been nearly doubled with- I
in the last seventeen years, and yet the increasing
development of the trade appears to have been j
unchecked, even by the intervention of a War of j
no inconsiderable exhaustive capacity. Compared |
with last year, the stock of cotton in Liverpool is
vet about one hundred and thirty-live thousand \
bales less, and prices are within a shade as high,
as after the extraordinary speculation which fol
lowed upon the announcement of the demise of j
the Czar of Russia. Indeed, it is mainly owing to
the advancing value of the raw staple that the i
trade here has been kept within moderate bounds, j
The extended consumption of British cotton man- j
ufactures, as already said, has created a demand
that keeps fully employed the present extent of
our mechanical agencies, which no doubt will be i
eorrcspondentlv enlarged when money become
cheaper, and the rate of profit on manufacturing j
enterprise more encouraging than it is at present, i
As regards the prospect of the future- all pre j
sent appearances seem favorable to an increasing j
demand upon the industrial energies of the cloth- j
ing districts. The price of bread stuffs, although ;
Mill high, have a drooping tendency, and it is con j
fidentlv expected that increasing imports from the ’
United States and the Italian and Levantine ports, j
will bring the cost of food down to reasonable lim- i
its, even before our next harvest, which thus far is j
• extremely promising. A cessation of the heavy ;
drain for foreign loans and war expenditure which
has latterly prevailed, it is expected, will ere long
give increased ease to the money market; and us
our operative population are well employed at good
wages, there can be little doubt that a considerable
j revival in the home demand for manufactures will
ensue upon the return to a state of peace. Whilst j
money continued high, taxes increasing, and the i
future uncertain, our drapers and wholesale houses
j in the country trade kept their stocks as bare as
the exigencies of their business would admit. ;
They now evince a disposition to act with greater J
freedom, and their operations of the past month !
i have been on a more liberal scale. The advices |
‘ from India and China are more favorable to an i
improvement in the demand for those important
outlets for the productions of this neighborhood.
Confidence is being re-established in Australia,
and trade is recovering from the excessive ship-
I ments of two years ago, whilst the exports from
' those colonies (especially wool* which have con
siderably increased, find'an excellent and remuner
ative market in the mother country. A vc-ry large
amount of shipping will soon be gradually re
leased from the transport service, and come into
competition in the general carrying trade, from
which fact it may be inferred that an additional
stimulus, in the shape of low freights, will be
given to the export trade of this country. These
considerations combined, lead us to believe that
we shall witness, as the year advances, an increased
activity of demand, and a somewhat higher range
of prices than rules at present.
We remain, sir,
Your most obedient serv’ts.

Harrisburg, May 13. —The American State Con
vention assembled here this morning sitting with
closed doors. Sixty delegates are present? wiio
have chosen A. W. Benedict as pvesident.
Outsiders are in doubt as to the object of the
Convention; but the the “twelfth section” wing of
the party predominates. Ex-Governor Johnson
and General Small are among the delegates.
SECOND DESPATCH.
Harrisburg, May 13. —President Edie presided
at the Convention this afternoon. General Small
offered resolutions ratifying the nominations of
Fillmore and Donelson; "denouncing the adminis
tration for repealing the compromise of 1356; con:
detuning the Kansas and Nebraska act, Ac. Gov.
Johnston offered a substitute approving the action
of the delegates who retired from the Philadelphia
convention, and calling a convention to meet at
New York on the 12th of June. After debate the
substitute was rejected and the resolutions were
adopted bv a vote of thirty-two to twenty-two
Governor Johnson and fifteen other Edie "dele
gates retired. Edie moved a reconsideration to
give Mr. Fillmore time to get right on the Missouri
question—rejected. The union State Ticket was
then ratified. Adjourned nine die.
The Edie delegates held a public meeting and
prepared an address to the people of the State.
Cincinnati, May 13. —The German Turners’
Society of this city, whilst holding a celebration
at Covington, Kv., yesterday, were annoyed by
some boys, and handled them rather severely. Sub
sequently Marshals Butts and Harney, in attempt
ing to arrest the Turners, were severely wounded,
the former by a pistol ball, and the latter by a
sabre cut. The most intense excitement ensued,
and large crowds of citizens collected. Some de
manded the United States troops at Newport bar
racks to turn out, but they were refused. Stones
were freely used, and some firearms were dis
charged, but no one except one of the officers was
much hurt. Finally, live of the Turners surren
dered voluntarily, and quiet was restored. The
Germans say that the officers did not make them
selves known, or no resistance would have been of
fered them.
1 got a Going and Couldn't Stop.
A little bov named Frank was standing in the
vard, when his father called him :
“Frank 1"
“Sir /" said Frank, and started full speed and
ran to to the street.
llis father called him back, and asked him it lie
did not hear his first call.
“Yes. sir,” said Frank.
“Well, then,” said his father, “what made you
run into the street ?”
“O,” --aid Frank, “I got a going and couldn’t
Stop.”
This is the way that a great many boys get into
difficulty; they get a going and can’t stop. The
boy that tells lies, began first to stretch the truth
a little—to tell a larger story, or relate an anec
dote with a very little variation, till he got agoing
and couldn’t stop, till he came out a lull grown
liar.
The boy that was brought before the police, and
s.snt to the House of Correction for stealing, began
by taking little tilings from his mother -by steal
ing sweetmeats and other nice things that were
put away. Next he began to take things from his
companions at school, lie got a going, and could
not stop till he got into a jail.
Those two boys that you see fighting out on the
green, began by bantering each other ill fun. A:
length they began to get angry and dispute, and
call each oilier names, till they got a going and
couldn’t stop. They will separate with black eves
and bloody noses.
There is a young man silting with his compan
ions at the gaining table. He iias flushed cheeks,
an anxious look, a despairing countenance, lie
has lost his last dollar. He began by playing
marbles in the street, but got a going and couldn’t
stop.
See that young man, with a dark lantern, steal
ing from his master’s drawer. He is a merchant’s
clerk. He came from the country a promising
boy. But the rest of the clerks went to the
theatre, and he thought he must go, too. He be
gan, thinking he would only go once, jusf to say
that he had been to the theatre. But he got a go
ing and couldn’t stop. lie has used up his wages,
and wants more money. He cannot resist the
temptation when he knows there is money in the
drawer. He has got a going—fie will stop in the
State Prison.
Hark! do >on hear thathorrid oath ? It comes
from the foul mouth of a little boy in the street,
lie began by saying by-words, but he has got a
going and can’t stop.
Fifty voung men were some years ago in the
habit of meeting together in a room at a public
house, to enjoy themselves in social hilarity, w here
the wine cup passed freely around. One of them,
as lie was going there one evening, began so think
there might be danger in the way. He stopped
and considered a moment, and then said to him
self, “ Right about face !” He turned on liis heel
ami went back to his room, and was never seen at
the public house again. He has become rich, and
the first block of buildings which he erected was
built directly in front of the place where he stood
when he made that exclamation. Six of the voting
■men followed his example. The remaining forty
three got ajgoing and couldn’t stop till they land
ed in the ditch, and most of them in the drunk
ard’s grave.
Beware, then, boys, how you get ajgoing. He
i sure before yon start that you are in the right
i wav, for when you are sliding down hill it is hard
| to stop.

10@10%; Good Middling 10%% 11 ; Middling Fair
11%@11% ; and Fair —.
Rio .—The transactions have been made at a
range of figures extending from #3 to $3%, as in
quality, but the bulk of the sales were made at
prices within the range of $3 5-16(0.53% f) 100.
Corn.- —The receipts since our last reach about
10,000 bushels of good quality North Carolina,
which were sold at prices ranging from 60 to 62%
cents per bushel. The market, however, is largel y
supplied, and we doubt whether the next sales will
sustain present quotations. The receipts bv rail
road comprise 6,300 bushels, which is selling at
prices ranging from 60 to 05c., according to quan
tity and quality.
Peas. —The "receipts by railroad comprise some
400 bushels. Small parcels are selling at prices
ranging from SO to hsc., sack included.
Hay. —The receipts comprise 500 hales Eastern
and 600 bales North River. The former was sold
at *1.25, and the latter brought sl.lO and $1.12%,
principally at the latter price.
Flour.— The Flour market, since the date of our
last report, has been in a languid and drooping
condition. About 500 barrels have he exported j
coastwise. The receipts, since our last, comprise
583 barrels.
Bacon. —We have no new feature to notice. There
lias been a regular and steady demand for Sides
and Shoulders, at prices within the range of our
quotations, principally at 11c. for the former, and
9(59%c. for the latter.
Coffee. —This article has been very much neg
lected since our last. The stock consists chiefly
of Rio descriptions, and prices show a declining
tendency.
Molasses. —There is very little New Orleans on j
sale, and the scarcity of the article lias strengthen- ;
ed prices, which have advanced to 47%48c. per j
gallon. There was a sale at auction of 50 hhds. ]
Cuba description at 31c. The receipts since our
last comprise 149 hhds. and 2 bhls., which had
been sold prior to arrival, at 29c. Recent advices,
however, from the West Indies have sent up prices,
and a cargo, in transitu, has been sold at 31c. per
gallon.
Freights. —We continue to quote to Liverpool,
Cotton in square bags, at 5-10 d. in both American
and British bottoms. There is no vessel up at |
present for Havre. The last engagement was at :
%c. for Upland, and lc. for Long Cotton. There I
is very little offering coastwise, and quotations arc !
altogether nominal.
SAVANNAH, May 10. — Chiton. —Arrived since
the Bth inst., 1,734 bales Uplands—and 158 bales
Sea Islands. The exports for the same period
amount to 5,951 bales Uplands, and 003 do. Sen
Islands, leaving a stock on hand and on shipboard
not cleared of “9,377 hales Uplands, and 098 do.
Sea Islands, against 25,409 bales Uplands, and 950
do. Sea Islands, at the same time last year.
Yesterday the market was droopy, and but 191
bales were disposed of at 10(5,1 lc. We are again
compelled to omit quotations, owing to the confin
ed unsettled state of the market.
The total sales of the week amount to 1,287 bales
at the following particulars: 18 at 9kj; 6at
211 at 10; 200 at 10%; 214 at
19 at 10?< ; 100 at ln% ; 173 at 11 ; 71 at 1 \U, and
17S at 11 'if cents.
Rice.— The only transactions reported were some
small sales at 83.50 per hundred pounds.
Bacon. —There has been a good feeling and con
siderable activity in the market for this article
since our last report. The light stock in first
hands, however, prevented large transactions be
ing effected. We continue to quote for Sides 11
11 1 -./, Shoulders o'jnzlokj, and Hants 12>£@15c.
ft if’., in lots from store.
Com. —The supply of common is good, while
that of white is scarce, and commands a better
price than quoted in our last review. The former
is held at t!5 to 68 cents ji bushel, in lots, 70(575
at retail. White corn is stiff, in large lots, at 70(5
75c. ft bushel.
-The demand is quite light, the high
price at which it is held, limiting the consumption
of this article. We have uo receipts of Cuba to
notice this week. The stock of New Orleans is
not so large ; 50 cents j;) gallon for prime quality
of the latter description seems to be the ruling rate
from store, and 82 to 34 cepts for the former.

EKY family should at once procure a hot
-J tie of the great Arabian remedy for man and
beast, called If. (1. FARRELL’S ARABIAN LIVI
MKNT. It allays the most intense pains in a few
minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and thus cures still joints ; it penetrates the flesh
to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu
matism and palsied limbs of twenty years’ stand
ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of
the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments
of cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins,
splint, and all diseases which require an internal
application.
Sun Pains of ten years' standing cured by 11. (j.
I'ltrrell x Arabian I.<"i ment.
.Mr. 11. G. Farrell- - Dear sir : 1 had been af
flicted with the “ Sun Pain ” for the last ten years,
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but
by the use ot H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment,
applied over the temples about three or four times
a aav, it was entirely removed, and l have" felt
nothing of it since. I went into the stable one
uight, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being
very lame lie stumbled and fell against mv leg-,
crushing and bruising them so badly that they
turned black as mv hat, rendering them powerless.
I applied your Liniment, and was well enough in i
few days to go about again as usual. I also cruslu
my finger in a shocking manner, by letting a back
log fall upon if ; vottr Liniment soon healed it up
though. ‘ JOHN B. M’GKF
LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, ls-ty.
[ Esq. Barker, of New Canton, 111., says:]
Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured
some had cases here, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con
tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old.
The leg had withered away, and was so contracted
that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he nos fast ttinli/t :
to the grave, when the boy's father was induced to
try It. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the
first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store
and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, 1
want all that Liniment ton have in the store ; the
one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that
bad ever been done before.” That boy is now well
and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good
tor sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
Zook out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
M . B. Farrell s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it \u good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only bv 11.

to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in /,■ r
Improvements.
IJMHIS article wiJJ compare favora-
R. bly with any of like character
in the known world.
1 find that by putting it in the form
of a Soap it gives it a decided advun- jlnli
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
oi- Ointment'that can be made for the cure of di ,-
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its \it
lues from being impaired bv age or climate and
renders ii very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepnr t
tion injurious to the patient. This article ther
fore, being highly medicated, will cure ’uicr!
(hits, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Pin -;'
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, For*-
Dves, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff'from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and w ill
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also
superior dentrifiee to the teeth. Forshaving soap,
it forms a rich laiher, softening the heard, amt
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is onlv
requiaite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, 1
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting thev will then declare this to be the ne
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
