Hreadsteff Market.—Breadstnfls gener ally were quiet, hut Corn had an advancing ten dency. Liverpool Prwition Market.—Provisions generally were dull, but Bacon was buoyant, and all qualities had slightly advanced. Loudon Money Market.—Tho rates for money were unchanged. Consols had slightly advanced, snd were quoted a96j a96j. The proceedings in Parliament were generally of an unimportant nature. The government of England had declined to in stitute any lurther proceedings against Barnard. The clipper ship dames Haines has been burnt in the Liverpool docks. The cargo and ship were val ued at one hundred and seventy thousand pounds sterliiig. Calcutta advices to the 23d of March had been received. Tho British continued to gaineucoesses over the rebels in India. The Governor-General's proclamation, sailing on them to submit, had no effect. Accident t« the Jnmn A tiger.—On her pas sage from New York to Charleston, the 1st instant, the James Adger burst her steam-pipe, by which ac cident Joseph li. Pollock, the Engineer, and four firemen were badly scalded. Three of the men have since died. , 1 Congress on Tuesday.—In the Senate to-day the Indian appropriation bill for about #1,200,000 was passed by a vote of 26 to 9. Iii the House Mr. Stephens gave notice that he would call up the Minnesota admissiou bill to-mor row. Crops in Dougherty mid tVorili,—The Al bany Patriot of last Thursday, saysWhile passing through the eastern part of this county and the southern portion of Worth, we learned from our planting friends that crops of every kind are prom ising—with the exception of Wheat, which is injured considerably in some localities by tlm rnst. An abundant yield, particularly of corn and cotton, may be expected, if the spring and snmmer are seasona ble. .Tit rccr I'nivcrsity.—A catalogue of this insti tution shows the following number and classification - of Students:—Senior*, It; Juniors, 2r; Sophomores, 28; Freshmen, 17; Scientific, 2—College total 89, Academy, 33 ; total, 122. Curious Sip ring in Alnbainn,—Tho Tallade ga Watchtower, in an interesting review of Profes sor Tomuiey’s Inst report on the Geology of Alaba mu, states that near the line between Hancock and Lawrence, there is a spring of liquid bitumen or mineral tar, which is said to be somewhat remark a bit- for its curative properties and is said to be known cure for scrofula, cancerous sores, rheum* tisrn and other diseases in which alteratives are re quired. The water runs out from a seam or crevice iu the lime stone and the tar of bitumen floats on the surfaoo, a black foam a very cohesive and insoluble in water. The tar can be collected in masses, and patients visiting the springs frequently take it in the form of pills. The tni.xi.Mippi X'lootlw.—It is predicted that the washing ont of the river bottoms by the flood in the Mississippi will be productive of a healthful sea son. It is not stated what effect the enormous over flows through the crevasses in the lower Mississippi will have upon health, but it can hardly be else than disastrous. By last accounts the piling at the Bell crevasse bad given way, as was feared, as soon as the filling in commenced. Mecrct (Society.—Tile last Society spoken of in California is tlio “ Pay Nothings.” It is said to be alarmiugly prosperous. The password is “ lend me a dollar”—the response, “ broke. It is but a branch, however. The orignal society has long flourished iu the Atlantia States. The Artesinu AVcIl at Ijoiiisvillr.—Messrs- Dupont A Co., of Louisville, after boring to the depth of 1,700 feet—the last 1,600 through solid rock—have succeeded in finding water of a temperature about ten degrees warmer than the atmosphere, and strong ly impregnated ^with salt or alum. It is to be ana lysed. I'nivcrsity of Virginia.—Lectures were re sumed at the University of Virginia on the 1st Inst. About 373 of the students have Slready returned — The fever has entirely disappeared. It i gniny.—The Dalton Times of Wednesday says John Strickland, who married a lady in our city a few weeks ago, was arrested last week under the charge of bigamy, and lodged in jail. It appears that be has a wife at or near Borne, Georgia. Verily, he is a rude chap. He was tried this morning, con victed and sentenced to four years imprisonment in the penitentiary. Sudden Dcnth.—Geu. Thouits C. Evans, Ordi. nary of Troup, died very suddenly of apoplexy, in LaGrange, on the 3th inst. , Krvlrnl In I.nfJrnuRc.—The Iteporter gives as additions to tho Churches in LaGrange during the recent revival—Methodists 80; Baptists 26 -, Presby terians 24—150. Congrcii- on Tlmrodny.—The Senate wss en gaged in discussing a bill to repeal the Fishing boun ty—a discussion in which it seems to ns there is hardly more than one reasonable side. A bill was also reported in that body establishing a boundary witli Mexico. Washinutox, May 7th.—Senator Josinh ,1. Evans of South Carolina, died suddenly, at one o'clock this rooming, ot a disease of the heart. He was in hia seat yesterday. The Senate adjourned in respect to the memory of 8onator Evans; previous to which Mr. Clingman was sworn Senator. In the House Mr. Ciiogman'a resignation was ae cepted ; after which, Senator Evans’ death was an nounced, and an adjournment, in respect to his me mory, took place. In the House they passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation billa. A resolution for ab rogating the Clayton Bulwer treaty was passed to a third reading by a vole of 97 to 86. The debate in the Minnesota kill was resumed. l’rom ItScxlro.—News has been received from Tampico to tho 26th ult. Gen. Garza was still bom- hording the city; The firiug was doing immense destruction to life and property. He was also stop ping all vessels and had fired on the American brig Stetson. Every day only shows further reason why America should now take Mexico in band,, keep it in order, civiliio it and then annex it. The Grnwhoppcra.—The counties which have suffered most by the ravages of the grasshoppers aro Bexar, Guadalupe, Caldwell, Hays, Comal, Karnes, Collide, Nuecrs, DeWitt, Levaca and Gonzales, be sides portions of Bastrop, Fayette and Victoria. In all these the farmers will have to replant. In two or three of the above named counties llie wheat crop has leun totally destroyed. •imiirdny in Cob|Ku.—In both Houses, there w ero tint customary forme! announcements of tho (!, nth of Senator Evans, and his obsequies were sub- ,u-i.lly attended by Ccngn ■», the President nud < 'ubird t, the foreign Legations and a very I ,ud the ritli hales sent I market, and nmie buyer- Hum sell -r- Middling Hj j rent- K»-r«'i|'l“ f<< tiny «<U> >>:»!» 1 Nl o Obi.J-i.v-.

A friondjust from the city, states that the at mospbere of the region is anything but salubrious, and sickness must be anticipated. The Secret.—It is rumored that Mr. Karey, the American horse-tamer, uses a file ol congressional speeches to snbdue the refractory animals put under hia charge. After reading about a quarter of an hour, the quadruped gives in, and promises an entire amendment of morals and manners if he will only stop. I Di-vn.imivu, of Hrnaahapper*.—'The late Texas papers speak of the devastations committed by grasshoppers. In many places entire corn fields have been laid waste, there uot being left a blade or stalk of anything green. The corn, which hod grown five or six inches high, has been utterly destroyed.— A gentleman, just down from San Antonio, says these insects completely cover the prairies in many places, destroying everything before them as they go. They are said to be quite small, only one-half or three- quarters of an inch in length. , Knpid and Convenient.—The Washington Union says that after the 9th iust., the distance be tween Baltimore and St. Louis is to be accomplished in 43 hours, with through tickets and one set of bag gage checks. siiii Kixing.—The water at St. Louis on the 5th bad risen sixteen inches in the last twenty-four hours, and was still rising rapidly.

The Sabbath Schools of the city held their annual Festival at Camp Oglethorpe last Sat urday afternoon, and it was an occasion of un usual epjoyment. A very large number of children were assembled in the different school org&nizations, and marched in procession to the Camp Ground, where they were received by the Baptist Sabbath School. Here, a ros trum had been erected and beautifully decor ated with flowers. The exercises were open ed by prayer, by Rev. Mr. Landrum.

So says the Savannah Republican, and puts the case thus : “Well, a few days r.g,, anew project, the English hill, came up, and wo were told that the safety ol Hu- South and of the constitution depended on its pas sage. It did pass, by the small majority of nine votes ; hut upon the list of yeas, we t nd recorded the natne-s of i ‘ .-le.fri- Had they voted the other way, the bill would h ive been lost, the Ad ministration disgraced, tho constitution overthrown, the rights ofthe South trampled upon, and the coun try ruined. Now who is entitled to all the credit for the passage of the measure I That is the question which we desire the democratic press of the South to answer. The Americans were solely responsible when the measure of deliverance was lost; is it not their triumph, and is not the country solely indebted to them, and not to the democratic party, now that it has passed?” Wc are glad to see that "the American Par ty” is composed of the eight in the House who sustained the bill, rather than of the five who opposed it: as Toodles would say, “not ’tother ones, but the other ones.” All honor, then, to these puissant and patriotic eight, who saved the country, and down with the five who would overthrow the Constitution and trample on Southern rights.” The Republican stands with the eight, and has stood honorably, but our neighbor of the Journal and Messenger sym pathises with the five, aud must therefore con sider himself out of "/he .party.” Long life, then, to the eight, and may they over prove a true counter balance to the five, and "save the That they did save it The vote in the House stood as follows: For the Bill ' -' Against it Democrats,. 104 15 The Kansas Bill and its Effecl. The speech of Senator Hunter is a conclu sive exposition of the fallacy of all that hyper criticism which affects to detect congressional intervention in the Kansas bill. It is not to be found there—nor even the semblance or ap pearance ofit; unless, indeed, you divest Con- "•re-s of all control or authority over the pub lic domain, and concede to Kansas the unques tionable right to claim and take wlmt they will, and assert, unquestioned, any kind of jurisdic tion over it. Unless this is the right of Kan sas or of any new State, it is clearly within the Rejoicings in Washington. On Saturday succeeding the pas-c.i re ot the Kan sas hill there was a general jubilee in Washington, more especially, of com-- among the Democracy. Grand national salutes were fired at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, and the Pr< sident was ser- enatled by an immense conqdur -? during tin- eve ning. At the call of the assemblage fceappea: ml at the window and spoke a few words. Following him, Mr. Toombs, Senator Gwtffn, Mr.rf'.iy, llr. Letcher, Mr. Stevenson, Mr Biglee and others made speeches, and the enthusiastic crowd subsequently waited on other prominent friend- of the bill. The President’s remarks, which were very brief, we ap pend as follows : THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. prerogative of Congress to give or withhold its relinquishment of proprietary interest in the , , ,-i • Gf.stlemks ; I fed verv roach lumoreu l>v toe public lands, and a simple exercise of this light ; k . iiJne?swhich you have di . ; .. ay ,.,t h, coming in cannot be confounded with an intervention which seeks to shape the political institutions of an incoming State. In this case the bill admitting Kansas makes no exception to the Constitution she has framed, but, on the contrary, declares it politically un exceptionable. It raises no point concerning it, and makes no provision for a rehearing from the people upon it. The single and only such respectable numbers to give me a serenade.

If that be Con gressional intervention, then we say Congress has no power to hold, dispose of or protect the public domain. If it be said that a vote upon the ordinance may practically amount to a vote upon the Constitution, we affirm that still no political wrong results. The point in controversy was one of mere political power or right.

On Monday last another shot, I am told, was fired at the Emperor, just as ho was leaving the lit tle garden to the right of the gateway of the Tuillerics to cross over to a parterre on the other side. Tho shot came from a sub-officer of one of the regiments of the line. But few persons were present; aud he stood isolated from the little knot of flaneurs who assemble against the grating to see the emperor pass by. No event of the kind is, of course, ever registered in the journals—not even to state that the shot has missed, as usual, not to mention about “the start’ and the “mission” under which and for which, Louis N apoleon pronounced himself in vulnerable. Tlie rumor runs that the culprit was shot on the instant; and another report declared that the character he had assumed was a fictitious oue, and that lie turned cut, on ex amination, to belong to the Italian section of conspiration although himself a Frenchman. The story is believed throughout Paris, in pite of thu secrecy with which it has been hush ed up ; and has not tended to increase the se curity of the public mind, as you may well im agine. Ericsson’s Hot Air Engine. It would appear from the following taken from an article in the Scientific American, that Mr. Ericsson has.atlast, after the intervention .of all innumerable obstacles and disasters- achieved atriumph in his hot air engine. The Scientific American, as is generally known predicted the failure of his former efforts, and its endorsement now is a satisfactory assur ance of the value of the invention. It says: “For a constant small portable engine, ca pable of being applied to a great number of use ful purposes, such as pumping water, driving portable grain mills, &c., this caloric engine appears to be a safe, econonical, and conveui ent engine. Any boy or laborer who has sense enough to kindle and take care of a lire can take care of it; the fire has but to be kindled and in about from ten to fifteen minutes it will be ready to run. Ifileft to itselfit will stop when the fire goes down, and neglect cannot cause ati explosion, becansc a change of air has to be heated for each stroke. It will be noticed by many of onr constant readers that this caloric engine differs from all its predecessors. On page 153, Vol. 8, Scientific American, there is an engraving of Capt. Er icsson’s hot air engine, patented in 1833; on the succeeding page 154, a figure of tbe one patented iu 1850, and on page 180, Vol. II an illustration of the one patented in 1S55. In these a regenerator to take up the caloric of the exhaust air was employed, while in the above illustrated engine there is no regenerator; it exhausts direct—like a non-condensing steam engine—into the atmosphere. In reference to this mode of employing hot air, we said on page 101, Vol. 11, Scientific American: “The best way’ to use hot air as a motive agent ap pears to be to work it expansively as far as this can be done, then exhaust into :he atmosphere.” This idea is carried out in the engine; it js the re- forc rendered more simple, more efficient, and its cost much less to manufacture. Iu former hot air engines it may be impossible to prevent the valves from leaking ; this difficulty seems to be overcome iu this one, as it has been run ning for several months without requiring any repairs or alterations; this is a very important point. One of these engines is now em[floyed jy the Metropolitan Bank of thU city, for pu rifying water, and we have been informed it gives a high degree of satisfaction. To ittasiiige a. Kcariug Horse. Whenever you perceive a horse’s inclination to rear, separate your reins and prepare for him. The instant he is about to rise, slacken one hand, and bend or twist his head with the other, keeping your hands low. This bending compels him. to move a hind leg, and of necessity, bring his forefeet down. In stantly twist him completely round, two or threo times, which will confuse him very much, and completely throw him off his guard. Tlie moment you have finished twisting him round, place bis head iu the direction you wish to pro ceed, apply the spurs, and he will not fail to go forward. If the situation be convenient, press- him into a gallop, and apply the whip and spurs two or three times severely. The horse will not, perhaps, be quite satisfied with the defeat, but may feci disposed to try again for tlie mastery. Should this be the case, you have only to twist him, etc., as before, and you will find that in the second stnig-'le he will be more easily subdued than on the former occa sion ; in fact, you will see hiro quail under the operation. It rarely happens that a rearing horse, after having been treated in the way de scribed, will resort to it'a third time—Ilriti-i Sjiorts.’ian.
