New York, Aprii 6.—10, p. m. The steamship Bailie has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 24th, Cotton has advanced one-sixteenth to one eighth and. Sales oi the week 88,000 bales. Money easier; Consol# 92 3 4. The first of the Four Points, placing the Daou'fian principalities under a joint protectorate of the tour pow ers, has been unanimously adopted by the Vienna Confeience. Diet and Dress. This ought to be an inviting heading, for it is a com mon saying that “victuals and clothes” are all the richest m in can get out of his fortune ; it is certain that the great and leauingidea with most non and some wo men is “what shall we eat and wherewithal! shall we be clothed.” Americans are great feeders but, they know but little about eating. Wo bolt our Tood. We account for this peculiarity upon the ground that it is never cooked. Burnt food is not relished by the palate. We take it like we kiss old and ugly female relations. It is a disagreeable job ; and the sooner it is over the better. We have stumbled lately upon some curious facts about the origin of dishes. He was ahold man who first invented roast pig——his name has not been preserved— but what shall we say of him who first swallowed an oyster? It happened in this wise: “A man walking one day upon the beach of the many tongued sea, picked up one of these savory bivalves just as it was in the act of gaping. Observing the extreme smoothness ot the interior shells, he insinuated his finger between them that he might fee! their shining surface, when suddenly they closed upon the exploring digit with a sensation less pleasurable than he anticipated. The prompt with drawal of his finger was scarcely a more natural move ment than its transfer to his mouth. It is not very clear why people when they hurt their fingers put them to their mouths; but it is certain that they do ; and in this case the result was most fortunate. The owner of the finger tasted oyster juee for the first time. The savor was delicious—he had made a great discovery 5 so he picked up the oyster, forced open the shells, ban queted upon their contents, and soon brought oyster eating into fashion. And unlike most fashions, it has never gone, and is never likely to go out.” Long ago our ancestors ate their oysters and then drank their beer. In England, no one now thinks of eating them without beer. Americaus wash them down with brandy and water as they do most other things. Port is said to turn them to st>ne and 1,0 one but an man can relish them with cold water. We take it, therefore, that on tide water the Temperance ticket will not poll many votes. Bottled ale, by the way, is a modern invention. D. an Now. 11 was out fishing, with a bottle of freshly-d"awn beer at his side, when intelligence reached him of the peril his life w..s in under Qieen Mary. He fled, after flinging away liis rod and frstroar- w “"'iB.JBi ” ‘irajrirerv;-. r again safely resort to the same spot, he looked for his bottle, which, on being disturbed, drove out the cork, like a bullet front a gun, and contained so creamy a fluid, that the Dean, noting the fact and tejoicing tilt-re in, took care to be well provided with the same thence forward. The eostl'u st banquet ever eaten was that of Anthony and Cleopatra, in which the sooty beauty swallowed dissolved jewels. The strangest banquet was prepared, by the Castellan de Coucv. The jealous old Knight growu suspicious of his wife’s virtu.-, served up to her a dish composed of her lover's heart. An Arab chief once had a horse marvellous for his beauty and sped. Ihe King sent a nobleman to purchase him at any price. Arrived al the tent, he delayed to make known his errand until morning, but that night the steed was killed to feed the guest. “It was the last animal I had and my gu<st had a right to it.’’ Os dress we have only room to say that while our women are in danger of dislocation of the spine from long skirts, the meu are The slaves ot buttons and tight breeches. ■ Speaking of buttons, we may add that by acts of Par liament, pass.d in the reigns of William HI, Anne, and George I, it is illegal Lr tailors to make, or men to wear, clothes with any other buttons appended thereto except buttons of brass. This law is m force for the btn.fit of the Bermigham button makers. It is a ques tion for lawyers to decide whether it is of force in Georgia. Sir Harry Smith, at the Cape of Good Hope, pro claimed that he would receive no Kaffir chief at his levees who did not wear tad coats. The result was that his quarters were crowded by warriors of Sooth Africa wan their naked bodies thrust into swallow tail, and coats, and their naked limbs dangling down be neath the produce of the European slop shops. This was something better thau the Guinea negroes who consider themselves in fuli costume when they have stuck a feather iu their wool and tied a pair of spurs to liair heels. Unlike these oddities, the modesty of our women seems to begin at the toes. A lady who affected tbe bloom, r costume, once rebuked by another whose dress was too short at the other end, answered that she thought modesty would not suffer, if her friend pulled up her own drees a little, or cut a piece off the bottom to tasten on the top. Long skirts answer very weii in England where most of the women have ugly feet, and the slop of the street# give the few who have not an excuse to hold up their gowns, but in the United States where neither the form of the foot nor the state of the weather justify either custom, it 1s shocking that our wom n should sweep the side waiks with the skirts of their dresses.

In the Osteiid Conf.r.nee papers, our late vesatile ! Miuister sketches with a bold pencil some of the lead- j | ing men of Spain. We give a few specimens : . 1 Pezoela, late Captain General of Cuba.—The Mar- , 1 quis de la Pezuela is a man of some ability ; a grac.ful | j poet, I am told, but possessed of none of those qualifica ! turns which constitute a strong mind. He has that sort of pertinacity which in Spain is con 6ideitd as constituting the climax of civil virtue ; and ! entertains most violent pr.judicies against the Yankees, j More of a poet than a soldier, he yet gained some dis j Auction while Captain General of Porto Rico by his to the policy of compression and tyrany pursued of late jears by the Spanish Government to watds the colonies. Calderon de la Barca, late Minister of State. He j has learned nothing by the lessons of the past, aud ) 1 seems stricken with incurable blindness in reference to I the future. Ilia accession to the cabinet was an aeei- j : dent; his exit fioin it will not be considered a calamity j even by himself, lie is honest, and means well ;he is able and might do much good ; but he has no nerve, and his timidity destroys entirely his usefulness. lie were doomed, even if bis colleagues could be saved. General Narvaez, Duke of Valencia. —But the man who is likely to play the most prominent part in the corning drama (this was written Dec. 23d, 1853) ; is doubtless tbe Duke of Valencia, General Narvaez, fresh from the school of the great impostor, (Louis Napoleon,) who smarts under the repeated manifesta tions of distrust and dislike, of which the Court of late ; has perhaps been too little spairing, and who may at any moment launch himself out of his retirement at Loja, and give Madrid a second edition of the 2d. Dec.; who cau put on any mask circumstances may require him to wear, and whose contempt for principles or morality would minister such facilities for the promo tion of the most extravagant undertakings. Os all the Spaniards who surround the throne, l e is beyond doubt the most feared and detested by the Queen, who holds indubitable proof of his treachery to her, and who knows that, once in his dependence, she would soon become but a passive instrument of mischief and a slave. He, therefore, has no hope of being reinstated in his former position, unless he succeed in upheaving some political storm that may bo alarm the Queen as to induce her to drown her antipathic# in her fears. General Nar vatz hoasts that with the sea and land forces Spain has in the Island of Cuba, she could whip us whenever she chose to do so, Pacheco, Minister of State, successor to Calderon. Don I. Francisco Pacheco is a gentleman of great legal and literary attainments, theugh, perhaps, little of a statesman, but a Spaniard throughout, and, besides, of a weak and irresolute temper, fearing to commit his responsibility, and, therefore, incapable of approaching a certain great question with that boldness of purpose which alone could commend it to public favor. The Favorites at Court (Dec. 23d., 1853) are per sons of no power, talent, or energy. Their foresight and discretion reaches not even the immediate exigen cies and dangers of thtir position. They live in per feet quitude and peace, in the full conviction that every thing is still and safe out of doors as long as, inßide of them, there is no other disturbance but that at tirms brought forth by the sudden and temporary prevalence of a caprice substituted for a caprice. Confu.-ion, dis order and anarchy prevail in every branch of the Gov eminent. How long this may last none can tell; per haps not beyond tbe running hour ; for this is the eoun ! try of the unexp cted.of the anomalous, of the illogical. mil) mi I Columbus Local Items. >■"’ r *•* our l.itmt me justly celebrated net i only for their intelligence, refinement and beauty, but j for their elegant and tasteful costumes.

The society is composed of many of the btst amateur musicians in the city, who have been under a course of instruction from Professor Saroni, who has succeeded in bringing his class up to a high point of excellence in this deliglnful science. The entertain ment will be worth attending. We have been delight ed with their rehcrsals.

Democratic Meeting in Cass County. On the 3d April, a poition of the Democracy of Cass county assembled in Convention for the purpose of ap ; pointing delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention. ] The meeting was ca’led to order by calling R. A. Mil ner to the chair and appointing T. A. Burke, Secreta ! ry. M.ssrs. C. A. Hamilton, R. A. Milner and J. A. Crawford, were appointed delegates to the Gubernato rial Convention to be held at Miiledgeviiie on the sth I of June. Delegates were also appointed to aitend tbe ! Congressional Convention of the sth District. T;e i following resolutions were adopted wish grout una- I nimitv : 1. That we reccommend to the Democracy throughout i the State, a full and thorough organization. 5. That we fully concur with our Democratic brethren I in Tennessee ii the sentiments expressed in the following 1 i resolution, lately passed at their Gubernatorial Convention: | “ Resolved, ’£hat the Democratic paity has never hesi tated or teareu to make an open and candid declaration of its creed and principles; that we regard ail secret political clubs as at war with the genius and spirit of out Republican | Institutions; that the secret oath bound political club, com monly called‘Know Nothings,’in its attempts to abridge the rights of conscience ana create religious tests in the selection of men for office, is violative of the Constitution and dangerous to the public liberty ; that it is but a weak invention ot the enemies of the democraiic party; and that 1 we will fight this secret enemy with the same energy and i an! jr which in times past has enabled us to defeat and i drive from the field open and undisguised foes.” Close of the Season—Departure of Miss Logan. On Thursday and Friday l ist, Mr. Crisp’s company, accompanied by Miss Logan, re appeared upon our boards. The weather was unfavorable, and, in eonse quence, the Hall was cot as full as usual. The diffe rent members of the corps sustained their previous reputations. Miss Lngsn added to her’s by her vcr\ powerful delineation of the part of Margaret Elmore ii; Love’s Sacrifice.

Gov. Pollock has appointed 4 boma- F- Bell, (dem ,) Judge of ihe District eompoed of Monjoe, Carbon, Pike *Ld Wayne counties, 10 of Judge Porter, resigned, , Abolition of Slavery in Cuba. We publish, in auother column, an article on this sub ject of fearful import to the Southern States- The Spanish Miuister of States has avowed in the Spanish Cortes that it is the purpose of the Spanish Gov j ernment tos.abol.sli slavery in the Island of Cuba.— Our Government has expressed its deiermiua ioa to re- I gist this purpose at all hazards. We hope it will not 1 back out from this position. The safety of the South ern States r and the prosperity of the Island are involved ! in the issue. It is usf-les to postpone it any longer.— ! Under the counsels of England and France and wc ! fear of tho Northern Fanatics, the oil fgies who rule Spain are determined to desolate the Queen of Autilles solely, as wo believe, to prevent her from falling into our arms. We have heretofore opposed the projects of the filli* butters. We will do so no longer, and shall henceforth give our feeble aid to that party which is ready at 1 11 ■ hazards, to seize the Island. Unless ihe blow is struck j at once. Cuba will ba Africanized. S nee the above was in type, we have read a version of thespetc!) of Luzuriaga as published in the Spanish paper in New York called La Crenica which is directly the reverse of that copied from the Presse. While he denounces the slave trade, he emphatically tells the Cortes that the maintenance cf slavery is essential 10 the seem ity of Spanish dominion in the Island. This gives an entirely new’ phase to the question. \\ e have no room for further comments at this time. We may recur to the subject again. Laying it on Thick.—The courteous editor of the Enquirer throw# at us the compliments of the mag nificent junior of the Montgomery Journal. Come, friend, that is not fair. You commenced this play of soft sawder with tho Journal , and we hope you will hold up your side of the game. House Broken Open. Jas. G. Stewart of this county, says the Newnan Banner, informs us that his house was entered, a few nights since, by one David Irvin, just out of a four year's service in the Peniten tiary, and a traveler, staying with Mr. S. over night, robbed of his pocket book. Said Irvin is 25 to 30 years of age with sandy hair, inclined to curl, growing low on his forehead, lias blue wyes, fair skin, weighs about 180 ibs., chunky, and withal, quite a bully. After eom mitting the robbery he made his eaoape, and Is now at large. The publio would do well to keep a sharp look out for the scamp. Stringent Naturalization Law. —The late Legisla ture of Maine passed an act greatly restricting the right of naturaiiz-d citizens to vote. It provides that no per son of foreign birth shall ba allowed to vote at any election, unless he shall, at least three months before each election, produce and show to the authorities hav ing chaage of the preparation of the cheek lists, his naturalization papers, and they appear to be genuine. By these provisions, (says the S ate of Maine) if the ex prss words of the act are literally construed according to their direct meaning, no naturalized person what- I ever can be permitted to vote at the coming municipal i election, nor at any election held in this siato since the ; 17ih of March. Mobile and Ohio Income Bonds. As an evidence of the strong and abiding faith of i our people in the ultimate and speedy completion of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, we miy mention the fact— : and take much pleasure in doing so—that the subset ip | lions to the Income Bonds of the Company have been ! very prompt, and thus far to a greater extent than was J expected. Individuals generally wll take to the full I amount their means will justify, and have already sub ) ... .jioi l cw. Our local moneyed institu- I tions have come forward nobl) and their course insures the early filling up of the amount which will be required from Mobile. The subscriptions by them thus far are j as follows : j Alabama Life Insurance and Trust Cos. $25,000 ; Merchants Insurance Cos. 25,000 I Mobile Insurance Cos. 20,000 j Firemen’s Insurance Cos. 10,000 Mobile Navigation and Mutual Insurance Cos. 10.000 | Marine Dock and Mutual Insurance Cos. JO,OOO Total SIOO 000 | The City Insurance Cos., and the Fulton Insurance | Cos., have meeting# appointed for action upon the sub ; jtct, both of which will, without doubt, put down their | quota of $20,000 and SIO,OOO, which will nuke the • round sum of $150,000. We have it from pretty good | authority that the Bank of Mobile will subscribe for ! $200,000 and the Southern Bank of Alabama SIOO,OOO At aii events, we feel assured, that these institutions, whose conduct has ever been marked by so much liber ality and consideration for the public weal, will and > what is right in this important matter, It wili be safe to say, that by the close of the corning week $500,000 will have been subscribed within the city. Then, if our country friends do their duty, the requisite amount will be made up within a very few weeks to insure the com j pletion of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to Columbus, I Miss.— Mobile Tiibune , 31st ult. Four Men Shot in Wytheville, Va. Wythevjllb, April 2. Oa Saturday night last a most shocking tragedy occur ; ie i here, by which one of the oldest and most influential i citizens was .nsiantly killed, and three other persons and tn j gerousiy wounded. The particulars of the bioody affitir j a* *’ as I am able to gather them, are as follows : Foi- some time past, a man named J. Austin Graham, ! has been paying hs attentions to the daughter if a wealthy ! o! J gentleman, n.m -d W. H. Spiller,'who is reported to be worth about $200,000. Graham was unsuccessful in his suit, horn the fact that the young lady loved, and was engaged to be married to a physician named Dr. lionet. Graham, on account of th!s state* oi things, has been vio lent, ..tid threatened to u>tte the jils ot his rival the first i opportunity that offered. On Saturday night, about 10 o’clock, he entered the 1 NVythevi.ie Hotel, kept by Mr. Thomas J. B .yd, where i Mr. Spiller was sitting, in company with Mr. C.'F. Trigg, I teller of the Exchange bank at Abngdun, Mr. C. Cox, an attache o. tile hotel, and Mr. Terry of this place. Graham drew a revolver snd commenced firing at the crowd, k ding Mr. Spider at the first fire. Mr. Cox is ‘ey badly wounued ; but will, it is th tight, recover. — Ales rs. Teriy aud Trigg were wounded, Lut not seri ously. The murderer fled immediately after the conimi-uiou j of the bloody deed, and has not since been heard of. I Yours, F.

The Acting American Consu', it is understood, had a strong pi ote.-t against W.e Xeeutioii of Estrampes.

Overby, the nominee f>r Gov ernor of the State Temperance Convention. We believe that Prohibition is the only legitimate rtiriedy for the great and growing evils of Intemperance in our Latin, and tak ing this view of the subject, we shall endeavor, as far as our abilities extend, to lay before the people of Georgia, the claims of the principles of Prohibition to their adoption and support.” Terms During the Campaign.—One copv $1; Six eop : es $5; Twenty-five copies S2O; Ore hundred copies $75.

The Madrid correspondent of the Paris Tresse gives the tollowiug account of the inter pi batons put to the Spanish ministry in the Cories ou tire subject of General Concha’s despatches : j “The Cortes came to a vote to-day [March 8] of high ! importance—an importance the greater from tire fact j til t it seems to prejudge the solution of the question lett ito the Assembly by M.

I an | bounced to you, a f,w days since, the discovery of a very serious conspiracy in the Island of Cuba. This ! burning the government received circumstantial des- ! ; patches brought to it by M. Basiilltw, one of the most dts~ j Anguished officers of the iSpmish navy, who has just te- ! turned from the Island. Now General Serrano suddenly i interrupted the debate on the constitution by demanding ‘ of tite m if they could give some explanation as io i the coil tents of these despatches. I M. Luzuriaga, iu the midst of a science truly solemn j gave a reply as categorical as the circumstances wouiu | permit. ‘•A great conspiracy had in fact been discovered. But ihs Cep am Genera! Concha had succeeded in nipping it intheLud. Ail the principal actors in this drama were i llle bauds ot the authorities. The minister was able j h> give the assurance tSiat the security of this rich colony , * a - danger. Large reinforcements of troops were | about being despatched to Gen. Concha. Spain would | bleed iroiri ali her veins soomr than support in that quar ter either injury or dishonor. ‘*Oa the character of the conspiracy M. Luzuriaga was not as explicit as he himself would no doubt have desired, lie on'y ventured to insiuuUea fact which | eople here would like to doubt—namely, that the impulse of this conspiracy came from the United States; and he imrne diutely asserted with energy, and in a manner which pro duced a prof, und impression on the assembly, that all the conspirators arrested were acknowledged partisans of the maintenance of slavery. ‘•On this occasion the minister made a declaration wh ch reflects the highest honor upon him, as well as up on thecabiutt whose een.iments he expresses. He said, that without mviding the rights of established propenv, Without refusing to compensate tiiern by a suitalle indem nity, the Span sn geverurnent was finally decided to put an end to a barb irons institution which ali e vil zed nations condemned and which M. Luzuri.gu did not fear itail a pcs', and a shame to humanity. ‘*iiie L-partcro ministry the more merit for hav ing taken this g initiative from the fact that negro slavery reckons, in this hberal laud of Spain, numerous and very warm partisans.

More Fighting in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, April 4. More fighting took place last night between the Arner.. icans and Gei mans, but it was not general. The Gir j mans are mostly mined and barricaded in their houses, j The crowd re-assembled early to-day. The mill ary are i under arms and the Germans have agreed to give up their cannon before noon. - .eg—Cs— Tho Great Match Against Time—Lexington the Cham pion cf the World—Seven Minutes Nineteen and Three-Quarter Seconds. “Sevastapol est prise” was an announcement not more startling or thrilling than is the message which h is,t re this, spread throughout tiie Union that L*xington has made his lour miles in seven minutes nineteen and Ihrte quarter seconds. Seven twenty-six beat the Kvtld so m.ch thgtf there was very naturally many “shrewd doubts’’ as to tlitl capacity of any piece of horse flesh to throw that achieve ment in the shade. The temerity of Mr. ‘J eußroei kin backing, by $lO OCO, the p opo ilion that Lexington cou’d accomplish this Herculean lark, was fnely commented upon, and the opinion that the attempt would tail was al most general, until it w'as staggered by the manifestations of unwavering confidence by Mr. T. and the tr ends of Lexington. For many days past, the triend- of 7:26 weie much more numerous than tho-e of the gallant i t-xmg on, but at the same time th*re was so much hesitatn n that the amount of money staked was not extraordinarily la'ge, and so much did opinions vaiy that it was almost impossi ble to dec ; de the iavoiite, time o the hoise. A more beautilul day cm ldV-ot fiave been .'elected for the giand trial than yesierday. The sky was blight, the at mosphere dry and refreshing, the track i:i splendid rder, and everything stini and to portend success to Lxiugton. ‘I lie attendance was voy large, them nunlv five hi nditd to three thousand persons being < n the gr und,) and wo were (deased to see the ladies stand traced by the presence ol a large number of gav and beautiful women. For an hour previous to the start, the hesitation wnich had pievail ’ ed in town was apparent and but little betting was done.— I Old tuiiineii weie inclined (rather) to the belief that the j horse would wm, and some cxpie-.-ed them elves in the | mo t prr irive manner, but as a gtteial thing, opinions • came lotto -o T-ehl, that but l.ttle sprit wa- given lo“ont ! eiders.” The owner of Lexington ofieud ivvi-i.ty five to a hundred llvat he would make it hi 7.24. bm die long odds a-ked, dampened the encouragement which a proposition otauy oh erdeseiiptimi from him would have given. Lt x yingtou ai ‘pea red in fine ci.nd.l on, and Ins lusty gait and oetiutiful appearance as he was ma ched up aid down in bom. oi the stand elicited general admiiation. Ol die lace it.-e f, t ieie was not inmli to ray. Arrow and Joe Blackburn were selected as alternate cutnpu(.noi>t du voyage, and they came upon the track with the great contestant, but they attiacted little attention, Lexington being the o! served o! all ob.-ei vers. The qu stion as t>• the ! running start, winch had caused consid< lable diseu.-sion, | was decided fiorn the judge’s stand ly the announcement ; that Lexington wmuld Ire allowed to come to die Si meat i any rate ot .-peed his owner might deem pr icr, and ti.idier i that in acemd nice v ith the terms of the match, i> L* x ng | lon ntade the four mile- in preci e!y 7:26, all L tsst. od ofl’. At about halt-pa t three o’clock, ev. ry 111 gbe ng nai y Lexington stripped, and having I een Untied . t Hie qi am"r ! gate, came up at full speed tor the race, clo:ely fol- I lowed by Joe Blackburn. ‘I he start which was a beant lul : one, and the telling stride with which Lexington Id <fT | caused a general thrill among the spectators.'’ Joe Black burn traded at a distance ol fom fit yto one hundred ia ds throughout the first mile, which was done in 1:47*. This time was con.-idered tot> tart by many ot the l.'iei ds oi the horse, apd they feared he w ould not hold out at such a pace, but h disappointed both friend and foe. Arrow was let loose upon him in ihe second nile.ard so beautifully did he move that he lapped h m on the I ack stretch, but ieil ofl almost immediait ly, (intentionally v. e suppose,) and trailed home the second mile (1:521) when ms place was taken by Joe Blackburn. The trait at which Lexingp n was now moving, and tbe ease wnh which be appeared to gather himself, made it almost certain that he W’culd win; and .'four, five, and six to one were ofieied on him. Joe Blackburn was led a Jong distance through out the third mile, which was done in I:SU, and Ar.ow again throughout the fourth, tiie conqueror coming borne in T:4a?, winning the match in seven minutes nineteen and thne quarter seconds, and tor turns it the proud title of Champion of the Worid. Lexington’s la.-t mile was done with ease, and although (as we undcr-tand) t.e ran the lasr q lat ter ol it with one of his plates loose, we believe ne could have made the heat in 7:15. As it is, it is one of tiie ev nts of ih- age, and although Lexington had, among his advan tages, that of the iasiest track m the United States in the best condit on it could be placed in, we are of the opinion that h.s time will not root] be beaten.— A’.
