of I’tir- by the Hibernia. fate of the Navigation Law is sealed. A majority of 61 has been obtained upon the third readingof the bill in the House of Com mons. It is not likely to be rejected in the House of Lords. Hostilities between Denmark and Prussia still continue to be waged without any prepon derance on either side likely to effect the eventual issue. The German troops entered Jutland in considerable force on the 20th tilt. The internal condition ol Germany is dis tracted in the exlaeme. All parlies twe at is sue, and the probability of a speedy adjustment appears to be as far reuiwed as ever. Austria continues to b? foiled, in Hungary. The accounts from the seat-of war are so con flicting that little’reliance can be placed on them. The fortunes of war between Naples attd Sicily still continue adverse lor the Sicilians. In addition to Catania. Seto has surrendered to the Neapolitan-. I’alerpio, it is said,has pro posed to capitulate. Father Mathew will prwi.'.r ly sail for New York in the Ashburton.,on die 22nd May. FRANCE. It is said that M. Napoleon Buonaparte lias been recalled or rather dismissed from Madrid. Certain it is that he was known to be on his way toParis. M. Napoleon is reported to have protested against the suicidal intentions of France in the affairs of Romo. In the Assembly on the 23d the bill for in demnifying the proprietors of slaves in the French Colonies, passed its second reading— the bill allows 6 millions of francs in the 5 percent rents and 6 millions of francs in mo- , noy. One eighth part of the 6 millions of rents which goes to the Colonies of Guadal upe, Marliuhjue and the Island of Bourbon, is to go tq the establishment of a Bank in each of these colonies. M. Frapold, the Envoy Extraordinary of the Ronutn Republic, has presented a protest to the Government against the expedition to Ci vita Veccliia—he declares that his Govern ment was willing to accept the mediation of France and the fact was made known to the French Government on the 12th. The only answer he got was tljat France could negoci nte with what did not exist—that Rome so fjw, ■twiiiwien noon, wn the -Pripo, that France interposed in order to prevent too vio lent a revolution, in order that the principal of separation might be applied as largely as pos sible in the administration of the state. Tiie firmness and consistency of L. Napo leon, have thus far belied the predictions of his enemies mid even the hopes of his friends. In a recent conversation, he is stated to have said, ‘tiie legitimists have prot cted me as a means of destroying the system which is clo sing around me—the Red Republic lias voted for me to save itself from the martial law of Cavaignac. I have been used as a wedge to keep up the rotten walls and protect them from falling on each other, anti lhey thought me a wedge of wood—they will find I am one of iron. Fears continue to be expressed as to the fi delity of the army, among which the spirit of socialism it affirmed to prevail more extensive ly than is generally admitted. As an evidence of this fact, it is stated that the 9th regiment ol light in ( antry and thes2d regiment of the line were ordered to quit Paris on the 22d, at 4 hours’notice, in consequence of some appear ance of disaffection. Just before the squadron got under way from Marsclles for Civiti Vecchio, Gen. Oudi not issued a proclamation, in which he tells his troops that the Government being resolved to maintain in all quarters of the globe their old and legitimate influence, would not allow the destinies of the Italian people to be at the mercy of a foreign power, or a party which is but a minority. It has confided to its charge, ■said he, the French Flag for us to cloak in the Roman territory as a striking symbol of our sympathies. DENMARK AND PRUSSIA. The town of Folding, which lies about a mile and a half off the frontier of Schleswig and ten from the froniter of Frederika, was ta,- ken by the Schleswig troops under Gen. Bo nin, on the 20th inst., fighting continually for many hours in the streets before the town was evacuated by the Danes. The loss in killed and wounded is not given. It is ascertained that, steps have been ta ken to induce Leopold, King of the Belgians, to act the part of Mediator—Whether he will ■tarnot except this office is not yet known, —the MhwuHswere that tin- Danes wercassem- ME*—— AUSTRIA. The Austrians have been again defeated in a general battle, and Welden, the best General in the Austrian Service, as he has been called, has not been more successful against the Ma gyars than was his predecessor. On the 291 h Welden congregated all his forces, withdraw ing even the garrison from the Posth and from the camp in tile nt igbborhood of Ofen, for the purpose of making a general combined attack upon the Hungarian forces. Welden attack ing them in the front, and Jallachich and Schlisk taking them in flunk and rear. This grand combined attack took place on the 20th und 21st at Gran, and ended in the complete defeat of Welden. Tiie accounts state that the Austrians wore driven back with the loss of 20 g'uns and 2000 prisoners, and that they had been compelled to raise the siege of Com oro. It is rumored in Paris that a murderous engagement hud taken place, under the wall of Comoro,in which Gurgny had defeated the Austrians, had evacuated Pestb, and that the Hungarians were under the walls of Vienna. It was reported at Vienna on the 19th, that an insurrection hnd broken out at Cracow. As an offset to the foregoing, it is asserted by the Vienna correspondent of the Constitutional Zeitung, writing under date of April 20.9 P M. that the Hungarians were totally defeated near Gran—their loss in prisoners beir.g 2000. The Austrian Government has decided io cre dit 200,000/100 florinsuf Hungarian Treasury Bonds, which are to be paid when they are subdued. The Ross Gazette states that 40,000 Russi ans had entered Montratia, by the Burhowins —they bring the answer of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to that of Olmuiz to the question of what condition Prussia would place her di plomatic and material resources at the disposi tion of the Austrian Government. It is said that the abandonment by Austria of all influence in the Danubian principalities is the price demanded by Russia for services. SICILY. The London Suu of the 27th says, that the news from Naples is, that the Government of , Palermo has offered to surrender on such I term- as A.hubal Byuduvuw grocuic for them.

See the f communication of our correspondent “Delta.” F Some difference. While our cotemporary, of the Southern Banner, seems disposed to lean upon the northern detaoflf y as a great protecting arm of the South, his democratic brother of the | i Federal Union, who is quite up to trap in party t management, seems to think thjj We have the i wolf by the ears in northern democracy.— < The Union evidently thinks ir best to let go i the hold. While the Banner is disposed to hug i the northern democrats, wie Union would not i trust them as far us it could fling them. AA e i infer so from the following which we clip i from that paper of Tuesday last. “ There still remain a few northern^demo- < crals who vote- with the South. But every ; political revolution wears, them away, until their influence is now scarcely felt. Bui where is to be found a solitary whig ? Seeing then that the South is in a helpless minority and cannot safely trust her rights in the hands of either parly North: where is >thc propriety of division among ourselves, in order to retain their alliance ? It is utier folly. It comes to the point, at last, that she must rely Upon her own firm and bold purposes of resis- S tance ; for human ingenuity cannot disguise the fact, that the question of slavery is, from its very nature,a local and sectional question. ’ So it Hi Carolina Coaveislion. We copy to-day from ibo.OidiUub u (S. G.) Telejjvitpli the first day’s official proceedings of the Convention of the committee of safety. The second day’s we will publish on Tuesday. We have read them all critically, and are glad to perceive, that, while we cordially sympa thize with the great object which they' have in view, nothing was done to which exception could be taken by the most fastidious South erner. We make the following extracts from Columbia papers: [From the Telegraph.] “ The Committee of twenty-one were busily engaged yesterday evening in preparing some definite proposition for the action of the Con vention—and we forbear all speculations or comments of our own until their, action is known. The appearance of the Convention whi n convened yesterday was most striking and impressive. The venerable President, still unb,owed by the weight of seventy winters —a true type of Carolina’s chivalry in its most palmy days—found many of his com peers, if not cotemporaries, in the white-haired elders of the State congregated at the call of their fellow-citizens, to consult on the common safety—for the majority of that assembly were men past the middle age. But few politicans comparatively were there, but thoughtful and resolute private citizens drawn from their own pursuits to protect and defend their own dear est rights. “No excitement, no violence characterized iltcir proceedings; but there was a stern con- centrated resolve displayed in every move ment made.” [From the Carolinian.] “ All full that the occasion was the most important perhaps, of any in the history of our State, and they catne up to the work feel ing the responsibility which rested upon them, and determined to act wisely and cautiously ; but determined also to place South Carolina in a position which could not be misunderstood. The result of their deliberations is now before their fellow-citizens here and elsewhere. Il was deemed expedient by the people of South Carolina that such a meeting should be con vene I, and we feel well assured that the plat form adopted and the line of policy indicated in that platform will receive their hearty ap proval. It is not desirable that lengthened comment should accompany these resolutions —they belong to the people whose expression they are, and the' Carolinian will be hard to find who will not cheerfully subscribe to them.” Election of Judges by the Peo ple. We mike a few extracts, as follows, from an article of the New Orleans Bulletin, on the subject of the election of Judges by the peo ple. The Bulletin is a strong Taylor Whig paper, and one which ranks high as to ability and devotion to its party, and the best interests of the country : ThE Judiciary. —At the late Democratic Convention held in Baton Rouge, it was re commended that the constitution should bo so amended as to make all officers, State, parish and city, elective by the people, and it was fur ther recommended to the Democracy of Louis iana, to make the question of such an amend- ment an issue at every State election. This is idl very well; the people are the source o: all pou-er, the creators of all offices, and if i: be tlieiru ili to elect directly themselves, lheii public servants, executive, judicial aud legisla tive, instead of delegating the power to inter mediate agencies, it is nothing more than a le gitim >j and appropriate exercise of populai sovereignty. The great and enlightened State of New York, only a year or two ago, amend ed her Constitution, so as to make iier Judges elective by the people. The question was treated as one of expediency; it was elaborate ly discussed in the newspapers, and a direct expression of public opinion obtained, by the submission of the question itself to the people. The question of giving the election of Judges to the people, cannot be made a party one. We apprehend that the Whigs are not opposed to it. For the last twenty years they have witnessed both in the Federal and State Governments, a verification of the political apothegm, “ power is stealing from the many to the few,” and every year’s experience de monstrates that it is wiser and safer for the people themselves to “ exercise all practicable power, than to delegate it.” There is much in the system of jurisprudence,anomalous and in.£op’r | nous The administration of justice C clogged with nnfTqnrttWwret which are bai t iers rather than helps to the one great object—the exposition of truth. The spirit of the age, which is eminently progres sive, calls for change. Great Britain is advan cing rapidly with the work of legal reform ; and her judges are the most active in suggest ing and prosccting the undertaking The State of New York has completely revolution ized her old system, stripping it of excrescen ces and technicalities, and making it a com prehensive and rational science. These are illustrious examples worthy of imitation. From the Constitutionalist, of'the 17th inst.] Hail-Roa<l CoHVCMtion. Yesterday, the Convention took actian on he great questions of the enlargement of the tapilal stock of the Company and the payment >f the debt ; which have been for some time tnder discussion. After an able speech from Mr. King, the ’resident, in advocacy of the measure, the invention determined to enlarge its stock to our millions of dollars. This gives a divi dend of 76 per cent, and a fraction, of new tock to the Stockholders. It also determined tat instalments of 25 per cent., in all, on the Id stock should be called in as they may be anted to pay off the debts of the Company. ls these will fail due at stated times running irough a period of six years, it is expected tat the dividends will pay jhese instalments, nd in addition give an interest of five or six “r cent on the original investment in the old eck estimating it at par. Since the cousummunation of this arrangc lent, we understand that some of the old ock has sold at a premium of 20 dollars per are. and that 21 dollars have since been of redand refused. We congratulate the Company upon this tspicious state of its affairs. Too much aise cannot be bestowed upon the wise and illful management of its President, lie has übtless been ably assisted by his co-mana rs in the direction, by the officers of the ink and of the Road. They bave displayed combination of business talent not to l-‘ sur ssed in this country. Burke County, May 14, 1849. Amars. Editors :—A very painful and accident happened on the 13th inst. of Mr. Samuel Kennedy, of Emanuel county. Mr. Kennedy with the assistance of several others undertook to rope a Bull which was enclosed in a pen.— The Bull at Air. K. injured him in 4[ie horns and gored him badly abdomen. Mr. Brown a nephew of Mr. Kennedy’s, seeing the old man’s situation, ran to his relief when the Bull turning gored him also badly in different parts of his body.

I [Telegraphed for the Charleston Mercury.] ARRIVAL 0F THE 1 •fc&M STEAMEB CAMABA. At half past 9 o’clock last evening we re ceived intelligence that the steamer’s arrival was telegraphed from St. John’s, and in a few minutes after the despatches of our prompt and efficient telegraphic _twei;t coinuunc o i Bal6 P. AL The Canada has arrived at Halifax, with one week’s later intelligence, and her news was received at St. John’s this morning by special express for the Associated Press, and has been telegraphed to this city. The Canada has made a splendid run out and back. I send you an abstract of her intelligence: THE MARKETS. LiVEitroor,, Alay s.—Since the departure of the Hibernia, the imports of Cotton have amounted! to 113,277 bales of which 104,149 bales were American. Notwithstanding these heavy imports, the prices of American, 0 parti cularly of low and middling qualities, arc higher, as are also Egyptian and Brazils. Fail- Upland is quoted at 4f, and Fair Orleans 4J The sales of the week ending Alay 4, amount ed to 46,190 bales, of which nearly 30,000 were American. Os this speculators took 360 bales, and 2,710 were said for exportation. In the Grain market there is considerable depression. The weather Ltely has been ve ry fine, and most favorable for the coming crops, which induces buyers to confine their operations to their immediate wants. At the London Corn Exchange business was very inactive. Floating cargoes found buyers at 3,20 a 3,30 per quarter, and good brands of Flour were offered at 245, without finding purchasers. The Havre Cotton market was much de pressed in consequence of the intelligence by ' the Niagara that largo shipments had been made to that port, and prices have declined. THE MONEY MARKET. The London Aloney Market continues firm, and Securities have an advancing tendency. Consols for money and account opened on Fri day at 92f and closed firm at 92|. The stock of bullion in the Bank of England was undi minished. The amount of gold shipped to America, exclusive of £25,000 by the Cana- ! da, is £4.11,900. The advices from New , York received by the Niagara tended material- I ly to check the disposition to export specie. There is an improved demand in the Lon- 1 don market for American securities, parlicu- 1 iarly for Pennsylvania State Stocks, which 1 arc quoted at 77 a 79, and this is the only stock 1 of which quotations arc given. The London papers state that the exhibit of the Bank of France shows an increase of spe cie amounting to six million frames. Frei ch 1 3 por cents are quoted at 58, 5 per cents, 89 a ! 90, beir.g an advance upon the quotations of ' the preceding day. I The trade of France is rapidly increasing. The imports during the month of Alarch were more than double in amount those of the same month last year, and the increase‘iu'the ex- < ports is equally apparent. t POLITICAL. i Official notice bad been received at Paris o! -the intervention of Russia ia the difficulties 1 between Austria and Hungary. Russia is tin- 1 derstood to have placed a large force at the dis- 1 posal of Austria, amounting, it is said, to one c hundred and fifty thousand men. The Hungarians have every where been vic torious over the Austrians, and have nearly ’’ annihilated their anny. The greatest alarm [ prevails at Vienna. The King of Prussia has definitely refused r to accept the imperial Crown of Germany, , which had occasioned a slight outbreak at Frankfort. There is no prospect of peace between Den mark and Prussia. More troops have left Toulon for Rome, and it is reported that Marshal Oudinot had reach ed Rome, and that the people had risen in fa vor of the restoration of the Pope, and that the members of the Republican Government had fled. The Tuscan troops have entered Leghorn. The Sicilians, beaten at all points, have sub mitted to Naples. The war in the PunjiUb is considered as ended. In the British Parliament the affairs of Ca nada were incidentally introduced, but the Mi nister was very guarded upon the subject. The breach between Louis Napoleon and his cousin has widened into quite a serious quarrel. [Telegraphed for the Charleston Me renry ] Further by the Canada. New York, May 17. ...inexed you will find additional items of intelligence received by the Canada. From Milan we learn that Barou Brunk, the Austrian Ambassador, having modified the conditions first proposed to Sardinia, and which were objected 10, accede] to by the latter power, and hostilities have ter minated. At Berlin the second Chamber has been dissolved by the King, in consequence of hav ing passed a resolution declaring it inexpedient 1 and impolitic to hold Berlin longer in a state !of siege. In consequence of this arbitrary I exercise of the royal prerogative, an outbreak of the people took pla.-e, but it was promptly ' suppressed by the troops, though not without ■ bloodshed. From Rcflnc we learn that the French troops have entered the city, the people making not the slightest resistance, but that the Pope will not be permitted to return to Rome, unless he grants a general amnesty for all past political i offences, and consents to a number of impcr- j tant reforms in the Government. There had been a severe frost in the South 1 of France, which did great injury to the mui- [ berry trees, and in consequence there had I e . been an advance of 2s. per pound in live price o i of raw .si Ik. Wilmer and Smith’s Times states that the v ’ reported quarrel between Louis Napoleon and 1 . his cousin is a sheer fabricatto , and without 1 I thg slightest foundation in fact. 1 ' It is stated that the Austrian troops had en tered Tuscany, and are marching on Leg r horn. 1; The accounts from Manchester represent I , I the condition of trade to be very much depres- I : ; sed. A vary Urge meeting had been held in j I . London for tlie purpose of organizing a Nation- i I al League for the protection of Home Indus- : 1 try. It is believed to be the purpose of tbe ! I originators of this measure to sustain the i , House of Lords in their anticipated rejection i ■ of the bill repealing the English Navigation * i Laws. Shonld this measure be rejected by the House of Lords, the other Ministerial measures will be withdrawn, and the Ministry will resign. The circular of Baring Brothers states that money is easy and abundant, yet there is quite a disinclination for permanent invest ments. American Stocks are somewhat affec ted by this indifference. I'ni' -d Sba'oj Sixes are quoted at 6J premium. [Telegraphed for the Bait. Clippr.] St. Lours, Wy-11. Movement of Senator Benton—Afnrder by the notorious Capt.

The cholera is greatly increasing. [Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] Cincinnati,’May 14—2 P. M. The Cholera.—There is every evidence to day that the cholera is abaiting in this city.—— The number of new cases for the twenty-four hours up to Sunday at noon, was forty-six with seven deaths ; whilst for the twenty-six hours up to noon to-day, the number of new cases has been but twenty, v. iih tliHe deaths.

The River.—The Vicksbarg Sentinel of Tuesday, the Btb inst. says : The river has fallen abcut fifteen inches, and is going down two or three inches per day. Good News—Vbby L.ite from the Cre vasse.—. Mayor Crossman received an ex press, at a late hour la-.t eight, from the cre vasse at Mr. Sauve’s plantation, which brings the cheering news that the operations were going on successfully, vtiih every indication of those employed being ible to stop tire fur ther flow of water during tire day (Saturday). The messenger left the crevasse at half-past 10 last night. The stories current during tire evening, of the increase of the crevasse, we are pleased to learn, were destitute of troth. Should no untoward accident occur, our citi zens of the inundated districts will, ip a day or two, be once more on dry land.—[N. O. Crescent, 12th inst. Crevasse at Fortier’s.—The extensive crevasse at Fortier’s has attained a width of from 250 to 300 feet, and all efforts to close it have been given up. The water, rushes through the opening with great velocity, and the country on the other side of the river is overflowed for miles. The planters seem to rely entirely on the failing of the river for getting rid of the water on their plantations ; and if there should bo the usual June rise, it may b? August before the crevasse is closed. In the overflow of 1816, howecer, the s river fell in May. It may do the same in 1849. William H.

At the meeting of the Stockholders o 7 the Central Rail-Road held in Savannah oi the Bth inst., the following resolutions were wian imously adopted: Resolved, That in the opinion of this neet ing, it will be highly advantageous to male an increase of the capital stock of the Company to meet the new investments in iron and ma chinery without absorbing the earnings to which the present investment is entitled. Resolved, That the Directors be, and they are hereby authorized to increase the Cipilal Stock of this Company at their discretiar, in such sums and at such times as they may hink needful, to the extent of §450,000. Resolved, That they be, and they arc here by, authorized to do so by the issue of eight per cent, guaranteed stock under the same terms as the previous issue of §500,000. The Company propose at once to open books for the sale of the new Stock. It is generally believed that it will ba sought after with ividt ty as one of the safest and most profitable in vestments in the State. The weekly report of the Board es Health of Small Pox, at the Iron Works and Carters ville iu Cass county, for the week ending 15tb of May, states, that there were no new cases: no deaths; none sick and four' convalescent, during that period. Supreme Court.—The act of 1845 crea ting this Court, required the Bill of Exceptions to be certified and signed by the presiding Judge within four days after the trial i;f the cause in the Supreme Court. This provision was altered by the Legislature in 1847, and the time now within which this duty is to be done by the Circuit Judge is thirty days, after the adjournment of the Court al which the trial took place. The Supreme Court having de cided that the record must affirinalircly show, that tho date of the Judges Certificate is with in the thirty days, it will become necessary for tlie Clerk iu all cases to state in the transcript winch he sends up, the day on wiiiafi the Court adjourned at which the cause complain ed of was tried.—[Southern Recorder.

A claim of damages forbreach of warranty is not a liquidated denfand, which can be plead ed as a subject matter of set-off. 2.

It is irregular in practice, for tire testimony of one party ex amined by commission to be arrested for the purpose of allowing the other parly to intro duce evidence to show another fact, which, if proven, would render the testimony inadmissa ble. 5, If one party seeks to rule out the tes timony of an agent introduced by the other on that the agency was m writing, the testimony must be clear to prove rhe written authority.

An instru ment conveying negroes absolutely to the grantee, his heirs and assigns—“but I do here by save and reserve to myself a life estate in the property above conveyed to the said '. B. his heirs and assigns,”—held to be a deed and not a u ill. 6. The cla'imairt is entitled in all cases to show that the fi fa levied on the pro perty is void or invalid cither by otherwise. 7. 1' is error in the Cf charge "to the Jury, to assume or charge any fact to have been proven, where the testimony is at all conflicting.

Held, Ist, That this was an executory trust until the expiration of the nine months. 2. That the second husband was not a necessary party plaintiff to this ac tion of Trover. 3. The measure of damages in Trover, as a general rule, is the interest of the party at the time of the conversion. And in this case the Trustees were entitled to re cover the whole value of the negro, and -not the hire alone, until the expiration of tire nine months. 4. Where a linilcc brings Trover against the absolute owner, the measure of da mages would be the qualified interest created by tl.e bailment, but in an action against a stranger, the whole value of the pro perty. 5.

Alost animals die in a minute or two, but some amphibia live hours. Vegetation stops, com bustion ceases, gunpowder will not explode, magnets are equally powerful,smoke descends, water and other fluids turn to vapour, glow worms give no light, a bell sounds very faintly, heat is slightly transmitted. Wilkins and Lana first suggested the idea of ascending in the atmosphere by rarefied air, and one Galien of Avignon, in 1755 wrote a pamphlet on aerostation. The first balloon of Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier, was a silk bag containing forty feet, which burning paper raised seventy feet. Their rust wa^a bag of 650’feet, which rose 600 feet. Their third was 35-feet in diameter, and was capable of raising 500 pounds. It was raised before the public, June 5,1783. On the 21st of November, Pilatre de Rosier j and the Alarqitis ascended at Paris, I and afterwards others, with air raroti-4 in the * car by heal. In December 1783, Alessrs. Roberts and Charles ascended in a balloon inflated with in flammable gas, and after them Blanchard, Mor veau, the Due d’Orleans, and others. In Sep tember 1784, Lunardi made the first human ascent in England. January 1785, Blanchard and Jeffries pass ed from Dover to Calais, and soon after Rozier and Romaine perished in an attempted voyage from Bologho to England. In September 1802, Garnarin descended from a parachute near London. , On the 6lh of September, 1804, Gay Lus sca ascended at Paris to the height of 23,000 feet. Oxygen, the supporter of vitality and fire, was first discriminated as a distinct,gas by Priestley in 1774, Its existence was known to' Scheele as etnpyrial air; but as the appear ant antagonist of combustible gas. or Stahl’s phlogiston, be called it dephlogfsticatod air. Carbonic acid gas is a product of fermenta tion, and being heavier than air it lies over alj fermenrfve processes, puts out a candle, and produces suffocation. At the bottom of wells mines it causes the choke-d.iurp, in ■iMi a light will not burn, but winch tnay'be dispersed by throwing water into it. It is I carbureted hydrogen which takes fire iu coal ' mines, and which, under the name of fire-damp, j destroys so many miners. ' Hydrogen, phlogiston of Scheele and Priest , ley, is that gas which, when excited, immedi i ately combines with oxygen ana produces flame, by which the oxygen disappears, and a new concentrated 'substance is produced. From this connexion with flame Cavendish called it inflammable air, but it is now called hydrogen, because in bulk it is the chief con stituent of water. It is contained in ail bo dies which burn with flame, and is separteiy produced by pouring dilute sulphurick acid up on iron filings. Priestley discovered nitrogen to be the other component of the atmosphere. It is also call ed azote. It is the gas that remains after at mospberick air has been deprived of its oxy gen. Albumen is an animal substance, of which the white of an egg is an example. < il and fat are compounds of carbon, hy drogen and oxygen. The perspiration from an animal body con sists of w.lsr. carbonick, acetick, and phos phorick acids nd soda. I The curd of cheese consists of 60 carbon, 11 oxygen, 7 hydrogen, and 22 nitrogen. Alcohol is the spirit of wine obtained from the distillation of fermented liquors.and from wine is called brandy ; from the sugar-cane, rum; from malt or grain, whiskey and gin. The different flavors arise from the quantity of oil or rosin, the bases being alcohol and water. Further distillation produces rectified spirits. Pure alcohol is quite colorless and transpa rent ; it never freezes, but evaporates sponta neously, boiling at 173| deg. Acids change purples and blues to red. Alkalips change blue vegetable colors to green, and brown lo yellow. There are three, potass, soda, and ammonia. They unite witli acids and forin neutral salts, and with oils form soap'. Prussick acid is a deadly poison obtained from PrnirMun blue. It is colorless, but smells like peach flowers, and freezes at 2 degrees, and very volatile. It turns vegetable blues in to red. Alabaster is the bld name of certain kinds of gypsum, ami lhatof Volterra is semi-traus -1 Alum or a mordant in tanning, to harden tallow, and in whitening bread. It may be made of pure clay, exposed to vapors of sulphurick acid, and sulphate of potash added to the lie. Bat is usually obtained by means of ore called alum slate. Some suppose ambergris to be ancient bees’ wax extricated from strata by the ocean. Balm of Gilead, or Balsam of .Mecca, is made from the resin which exudes from incis ion in the bark of a plant belonging to the ge nus tftnyris which grows near Jlecca and in Abyssinia; its virtues are frequently extolled in the Jewish scriptures. The balsams of Tolu and Peru are made from resins which ex ude trom South American plants. In the East its applications are various. Bell metal is three of copper and one of tin. The brain and heart are the chief instru ments of the lungs and arc alike insensible. The cerebrum may be pressed or cut without pain, and in the time of Harvey, a young man had his heart exposed by a disease, and Har vey handled it without his fingers being felt. Zinc, charcoal, ana copper form brassin the proportion of a third or so rrth of zinc. Beonws is two parts brass and one copper, and the Greeks added one-fifteenth of lead i and silver. Caoutchouck, or Indian Rubber, is formed of a gum which exudes by incision from two plants which grow in Cayenne and the Brazils, called hsevia caoutchouck, and the jatiophael l astica. The resinous substance, as it hardens I being formed round clay moulds. The urce ■ ula which grows in the Indian seas also affords this gum as well aS some other plants. Its specifick gravity is 0. 9335. It is very in flammable ; when distilled it gives out ammon ia, waler, oil, and charcoal. In South Ameri ca they make with it bottles, boots, torches, and also balls lo play with. Civet is an excrement taken from a glandu lar receptacle near the tail of the civet cat, chiefly the male : and they are kept and fed so as to increase the secretion. Chocolate is a preparation from the cocoa nut, which is ground into powder made into cakes, and flavored with spices. Carbonate of lime is chalk. The eau de vic of the French is white bran dy, distilled from wine. Substances which chymists cannot analyze are called extract, or the extractive nriiK-i,,],.. I and it appears in veg-table substances chiefly. [ The red of madder and the yellow of weld, is ! called extractive principle. A candle makes a distinct flame in the flame i of alcohol. Fulminating powder is 3 nitre, 2 potass, ] ; sulphur. Preparations of gold, silver, and I mercury are also fulminating. 'The foil of looking-glass is tin and quick- ; silver. Globes are foliated by the addition of j quicksilver and lead. Gents consist of silex, lime, and oxyde of I iron. The ruby', sapphire, and topaz are es-j sentially the same, but so distinguished by ! dealers from their colors, &c- Gtim Arabick is obtained from a species of mimosa, called nilotica, a native of Egypt The gum tragacanth is a native of Crete, and more adhesive than gutn Arabick. Gum consists of the same as sugar, with two tenths more oxygen and less carbon. The Chineseare said to have invented gun powder soon after the Christian era, and to 1 have used it in cannon. In 1249 an Arabick author describes its use in fireworks and shells ; j and it seems to have been used in Europe in ordnance at the beginning of the 14th centu- I ry. Trie Chinese use'tlie samb proportions as the English government, which is, 75 of nitre, 10 of sulphur, 15 of charcoal. In France, the proportions are, 77 of nitre, 9 of sulphur, 14 of charcoal. The best candles for lig-ht are those made ■ from vegetable tallow and wax, or cocoa-nut; : and the whitest light is produced from the last " or from vegetable oils, duly purified, as in 1 France. I Light arises from the heat of the carbon, &.c., in connexion with the combining gases, for these alone give little light; but by their con- • densation afford the intense motion which dis- ; ' perses the carbon as light. The flashes of torches used on the stage are made by tbe fine dust, or seeds oflycopodi : urn,or club moss.

It was evident now, however, that this could not be the case, and he was called upon by im perative engagements to ask the meeting to excuse him from furtlierservices. Mr. Martin said that he regretted the necessity of making the request. At all limes .tnd under all circum stances he was willing to work in this cause, in any harness. Still more did he regret to be obliged to leave an assembly in which it was evident from tokens exhibited to-day, that there exists so determined and resolved a spirit of resistance to aggression and injury.

Resolved, That we confide implicity in the wisdom and firmness, of tlnr Suite Author ities for maintaining our Constitutional, rights, equality and honor, and that we heartily ap prove the course hitherto adopted bv them in relation to the aggressions of lire Non-slave holding States. 4. Resolved, That we would regard the passage by Congress of the Wilmot Proviso, or any measure tor abolishing Slavery or the Slave trade or the admitting Slaves to vote in the District ed' Columbia, or of tiny equivalent measure as a direct a.tack upon the losjituti- av,-h. lifing Elates, and as such ' ' l ! ’’ ■' !11 ■ ' '“nd ’ 11 > v e"' or be "iiv.'ii ■ tie- Js - it i - U"' ui so -’.oil. to consider the MKle and measure ol n dres». 5.

' ’ Mr. E more prefaced the presentation of these Resol utiws by some impressive and elo quent remaiks. He stated that after ft fnil and free conference in Committee on the various propositions submitted to them, they had all fi nally agreed to adopt the resolutions just pre sented. All of these resolutions aimed at the same end,and more perfect union Os the South for resistance to the infractions of the Consti tution on the part of the North, and after ma ture delibi i ation it was thought that object could be.-; be attained by' the measures indica ted. There was but one feelingand one senti ment pervading the members of that assembly which felt far more than it cared to utter. I leg exhorted all present to merge all minor difti'j® enqes in the one great obj. ct of concert, iru 101 l I l.aHii.'U'.'iplion of these niigi.i a 'inioiis. ['A ed" H"< give . than a ui' re <u: line ol liis M ore u vl to u iih great attention.] The ii; -i resolution was then taken pending its passage Mr. Strobliart in a strol direct mid forcible manner, urged the propfll ly and necessity ol presenting a strong ’ fl to the aggressions of the North.

Tie.' Resolution proposed,- way f'.r a-■- riainiiig llie sentimentot Son'iici 11 Stales, as to their views on ject. Mr. Popo thought that the appointment B the Executive Committee was only makinfl more machinery ; for the same results could be'effected through other channels already ex isting. In the general scope and aim ot the proposers of that Resolution however, he heartily concurred. Mr. Elmore and Mr. Huger advocated the creation of such a Central Committee, and gave the reasons which induced them to deem its functions important—acting as a medium of communication with oilier States. Mr. Spain then submitted an additional amendment, which lie advocated with spirit . and eloquence. He spoke in language of stern truthfulness of the realities of ourpon . lion, and the duties which devolved upon us he traced in a rapid but vigorous manner the . onward course and growth of Northern ag , gression, insult and rapine, and deprecated the idea that in this great cause ot common safety . any Southern .State should suspect or be jeat , ous of a sister. He was for ho Southern State assuming the lead—but felt Ilia/, they would all find themselves side by side in the great struggle now so near. lie concluded by indicat’ng whatinhisjudg , merit, and that of those whom tie represented, was fixe most prompt, efficient and certain re- I medy. Mr. Eaves also gave strong utterance to tho sentiment of Chester, an<! itt his impru. atoned ma,ma r, x-xnepssed the feelings of tlpK. patriot and the soldieron the outies and saert lives soon to be required of all true-hearted Southerners. ’1 he question was then taken on the first re solution which was.adopted without one dis senting voice. The 2d, 3d and 4th resolutions were then separately proposed, and unanimously concur red in without any comments or discussion.
