American securities were active. Political News. There was .a Ministerial crisis in England, owing to j Lord John Russell’s bungling explanation of his conduct j at the Vienna Conference. Sir Bulwer Lytton had moved that a Military containing Russell in it, was un worthy of public confidence. It was expected that Lord Palmerston would either throw Russell overboard, dissolve Parliament, or resign tho Premiership. Sebastopol had been again bombarded for two days, but without much effect. The Allies were erecting im mense works against the ltedan and Malakoflf towers. The Russians were also throwing up formidable works commanding these positions.

Politics in California, &c. New York, .July 26. The Star- of the West has arrived from San .Tuan. She brings nearly $1,000,000 in specie. Tier accounts are of more than ordinary interest. It is said that discoveries have been made which lead to the belief that extensive frauds have been committed by the banking houses of Adams & Go., and of Page, Bacon & b'o. Political. The Democratic State Convention of California, at its late meeting renominated Bigler for Governor, and passed resolutions denunciatory of the American party. An im mense American meeting had been held at Sacramento city, which was addressed by ex-Gov. Foote, and others. War in the Pacific. b was reported that a naval engagement had taken place off San Diego, between a Russian frigate and a French corvette, and that that to prevent being captured the French commander blew up his vessel. The story was doubted. The Walker Expedition. The Walker Filibuster Expedition was defeated at Rivas, with a lossol twenty men. The remainder passed through Kan Juan, burning the Government barracks and taking passage on a steamer, which they seized,to parts unknown. Nomination Jor Congress. —Young L. G. Harris, Esq., of Athens, has been nominated by the Know Nothings, in opposition to the Tlon. Howell Cobb. # /I Scrap of liistary. —lt is refreshing occasionally to look through antecedent history, not only to discover how people acted in other days, but also to ascertain facts con nected with certain undisputed events. The Know Noth ing Party was very properly named—lor all their acts and assertions, prove that they have not even tasted, much less “drank deep ot the Pierian spring.” Their shallow pretext for opposing persons of foreign birth, no matter what their superiority in intelligence, patriotism and morals may be, is about as foolish as their claim to excellence, as American citizens, over the na tive born ot Catholic faith. Asa high sounding and proscriptive title, they call themselves ‘the “Sons of the Sires ot Seventy-Six, when nine-tenths of their Sires, or rather Grand Sires were on the other side of the Ocean, or in the ranks of the invading English army. But giving them ail they lay claim to, on the score of an cestry, who were the ‘ Sons of the Sires ?” Let the following scrap of history taken at an examination of Mr. Galloway, before Parliament, in reference to this very subject, answer. It will do it more faithfully than any which can come from the Know Nothing Councils : “Question. —That part ol the rebel army that enlisted in the service ot the Congress, were they chiefly com posed of the natives ot America, or were the greater part of them English, Dutch and Irish l “Answer.—The names and places of their nativity be ing taken down, 1 can answer the question with precision —There were scarcely one-lourth nativts of America : about one half Irish, the other fourth were English and Scotch.” This “scrap” may be unpalatable to the Secret Order, but truth will vidicate herself. All who have read the history ot our war of Independence, and of the PennsyL vanin line in particular, will have seen that there were only 1 “,000 Irish in that famous line through the war.— A Vim would that proportion give at the present day ? Figure up, yu pure Aujw'iyaDs.-- (V-hHathlyhia Venn* fi/lvaniaii .) HON. WALTER T. COLQUITT. Tribute of Respect. State of Georgia, Ameiucus, 2d District,) Tuesday, 10th July, 1855. j i he Honorable the Supreme Court met pursuant to adjournment. Present, their Honors, Joseph H. Lumpkin, Lbcnezer Starnes, and Henry L. Bcn ning, Judges. i he death ol the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, a member ol this Bar, was announced this morning by the Hon. G. E. Thomas, who moved the ap pointment of a committee to prepare and report resolutions in relation thereto, which was seconded by Col. Seaborn Jones. Whereupon, the Court moved as a committee the following gentlemen, viz.: Hon. G. E. Thomas, Col. Seaborn Jones, Wm. Dougherty, B. Hill, B. H. Hill, G. M. Dudley, and T. R. R. Cobb, Esqs. The committee to whom was referred the dutv of reporting to the Court a suitable preamble and resolution in commemoration of the life and char acter of the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, whom death has not long since removed from our midst, respectfully report : That our much beloved and sincerely lamented brother, the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, was one of the peculiar men of his age. He was strong ly and distinctly marked in character, and eminent- ly qualified to leave his impress on the theatre of life. His indomitable will, and great moral courage, placed him on high ground in all great emergencies. But, alas! “Death enters and there is no de fence.” Neither genius, nor talents, nor moral worth, nor beauty, can escape the inevitable doom. “Dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return.” Death is said “to love a shining mark.” A mighty man has fallen ! After a severe and protracted con flict, which he bore with Christian fortitude and meekness, lie yielded up his life to Him who gave, and whose sovereign right it was to take it away. The event, though not unexpected, was never theless painful. Who that knew him, did not love him ! who that loved, does not lament his departure ! His seat is here become vacant; his voise is here hushed, and that forever. Called away in the noon of his manhood—in the midst of his usefulness. What a chasm is made ! not only in the Court, but also in the family circle, and in the public councils. Os his social //ualities, how shall we speak 1 Os a warm and generous disposition, his heart leaped at once into every enterprise of benevolence ; his charity embraced all conditions of want and wretch edness. Os his intellectual endowments , wc do not exag gerate when we say that he possessed a strong, vig orous, discriminating mind—an intellect which had lightning speed and power. In the Court room, or in the Senate Chamber, he was alike the fearless and able advocate, the firm and unyielding patriot. Always the same great original, he was, as occasion required, peculiar, striking, overwhelming. His eloquence sometimes resembled “the music,” some times “the thunder of the spheres.” Asa Jury advocate, in the defence of life and liberty, he had few equals and no superior. More than all, lie was a Christian, —a sinner saved by grace. And if he ever wandered from the straight and narrow path —(and who has not !) none re pented more sincerely, none made restitution sooner than he. Religion bore his fainting spirits up when all earthly props gave way. This sustaimpd this never failed him. “Our life’s a dream, a morning flower, Cut down and withered in an hour.” But this Amaranthine flower blooms the brighter as the hand of death approaches, and sheds a sweet perfume around the cold precincts of “the noisome tomb.” “The chamber, where the good man meets his fate, is privileged beyond the common walks of life, quite in the verge of Heaven.” He died, “be ing full of the Holy Ghost,” and left the world in triumph! “There is a life above, And all that life is love.” This mournful Providence speaks to us, his surviv ing brethren, in a language not to be misunderstood, “Be ye also ready.” Let not the lesson be lost— but, giving heed, let us love and adore —knowing that our Heavenly Father docs all things for the best. 1. Resolved, That while we sincerely sympathize with the bereaved, wc will cherish in our hearts the memory and the virtues of our deceased Brother. 2. Resolved, That as a perpetual record of our love and admiration of him, we respectfully ask ot this Honorable Court the privilege of having this preamble and these resolutions spread on the Min utes of this Court. 3. Resolved, That a copy of the same be made out and signed by the Clerk of this Court, and be by him forwarded to the family of the deceased. Also, a copy for publication to the papers in Colum bus and Macon. Remarks of the Hon. Judge Lumpkin. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Committee and the Bar: The Court cordially responds to the very feeling and eloquent tribute which you have paid to the memory of our deceased brother and friend. No man that has lived within this State lor the last thirty years has left or will leave a stronger im press upon the public mind than Walter T. Col quitt. Who has touched community at so many points l Who has exhibited the same versatility of •.alent ? Who is a more striking type and exponent of the practical working of republican institutions l Emerging front comparative poverty and obscurity, he stepped at once from the Bar to the Bench, and by the energy of his mind and character, filled, in rapid succession, a seat botli in the House of Rep resentatives and Senate ol the United States. Asa popular orator and advocate, especially in criminal causes, the deceased was unsurpassed by any of his cotemporaries. And whatever may have been the extravagances (if you please) ol bis style and manner, it rarely failed ol success and to elicit the enthusiastic applause of his auditory ; and this is the highest compliment that can be paid to a pub lic speaker—albeit he may violate every rule of rhet oric taught in the schools. His imitations on the Hustings, at the Bar, and even in the Pulpit—arc leg' oll - . . , .. But I will not dwell at this time on the peculiar- j ities of the deceased. No man had more friends or : friends more devotedly attached to him. And this was natural as well as right, for a more unselfish man. in all the private relations of life and inter course with society, never lived. We love them who love us, is the law” that binds man to man, as well as man to his Maker. It was hut a short time be fore his death that I was conversing with a female member of his family—a lovely woman who preced ed him to the grave —and she related how, in a re cent travel with her father-in-law, when he could scarcely sit up, he seemed to forget himself entirely and think only of her comfort. Is it strange that such a man should be endeared to his friends ? You have spoken, Mr. Chairman, of the moral courage of the deceased. But an equal tower of strength was his physical firmness. He never feared the face of man. We have many amongst us who arc brave from pride, or principle, or education, blis was innate. It was the courage ot Nelson and Ney and Zachary Taylor—that was wholly uncon scious of the presence ot danger. 1 speak what l know. Such a man could not fail to be a magnani- mous lOC. , , . • . i;r But our friend and brother, so instinct wi h lih, has passed away in the meridian ot his manhood. That pulse that beat so active lias ceased to throb ; that brain that teemed with ten thousand plans aim purposes, will think no more. ... If ever man was endowed with antediluvian con stitution-born to live a thousand ‘cars -Jud e Coi.quiTT was. But lie was as prodigal of lus health as he was of his purse. lie knew no rest.* sooner did the bugle sound for political or .Profes sional warfare, than every nerve was straim utmost tension for the fight. He rushed into with every power of soul, mind and body, and \\ o take no repose till the conflict was ended. * We saw him at this place after one of the most exhausting efforts ever made, and when his morta malady, wmieh had fixed its iron grasp upon lum several years previously, was preying upon m borne to the stage coach by his friends—hurry away to a neighboring State to renew his struggles upon another theatre. We cannot but reproach one so munificently endowed by nature, and whose life was so important to his family and country, for thus throwing it away as a useless thing. Let us take warning by his example, and be not overworked. Wc press toward the mark for the prize, and perish on Pisgah in view of Canaan and its clusters. He seemed to live but to die. We trust he died but to live forevermore ! But lam done. Should my life be spared, and I can steal the time from the severe exactions of my official duties, 1 will endeavor to erect a more abid ing monument and one more worthy of the deceas ed- ith lnc if “’ill be a labor ol love. We were College mates in a distant State, at a period of life when friendships the most pure and lasting arc for med. When I reached Princeton, I found my young countryman in difficulty, and was able, for tunately, to assist him. I found myself in greater trouble, afterwards, when he repaid the obligation with usury. I can readily forgive and forget an injury— a favor, never. The memory of Walter T. Colquitt will be pleasant to me until mv own heart, like his, shall cease to beat. Married. At Oak Bowery, Ala., on the 10th inst., by the Rev. L. F. Dowdell, Dr. Augustine O.

Diseases of tlie Liver.—When the celebrated Dr. Rush declared drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a truth which the experience and observation of medical men is eve ry day confirming. The many apparently insane excesses of those who indulge in the use of spirituous liquors, may be hus aceounted tor. The true cause of conduct, which is taken for is veiy frequently a diseased stale of the Liver. No organ of the system, when deranged, produces a more frightful catalogue of diseases. And if, instead of applying remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is to olten the case, physicians would prescribe with a view *o the original cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by a deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths of the diseases enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat in a diseased Liver. (Bee Dr. Gunn’sgreat works.)^ Purchasers will please be carelul to ask for DR.
