AUGUSTA MARKET.
COTTON.—Our Cotton market, for the past
week, has been dull, depressed, and prices have
given way, since our last weekly report, fully 1 to
jof a cent. The receipts from all quarters, by
rail road, wagons, and boats, have fallen off very
considerably, and wo believe the heavy rush of
receipts is over. The high price and fine wea
ther induced our planters to bring forward their
crops, to a very heavy extent, much earlier than
»» for many years past. There has been consid
erable falling off, also, in the quality of the Cot
ton brought to market, during the past week,
and fine Cottons are becoming scar ce. The sales
of the week reach 4315 bales, at the following
rates: —9l bales at 8} ;6at 8J ; 63 at 9; 14 at
473 at 9} ; 6 at 9 5-16; 254 at 9}; 103 at

' 82 at 10); 81 at 10};a id 9 bales at 11 eeuls.
The market closed yesterday very quiet. Sales
of a few hundred bales wore made at still lower
prices than on Saturday.
We quote, as the prices paid during the week :

The receipts at all points reach 345,544 bales,
against 411,931 bales last year, the decrease be
ing 66,387 bales. Thio decrease is principally at
Charleston and New Orleans, being at the former
less than last year, and at the lat
lobales short. Mobile, Srvaunah, and
HLltfinU, vary but little from last year, but
show some excess, as the rivers tributary to them
have all been in better order this year thau th»
past.
The foreign exports, up to the latest dates,
reach but 95,000 bales—46,ooo to England.
29,000 to France, and 11,000 to other foreign
ports, against 225,000 bales last year; 160,000 te
England; 33,000 to France, aud 32,000 to other
foreign ports —showing a decrease to England of
114,000 bales; to France of 3,000, and to other
foreign ports of 21,000 bales.
The slocks on hand at the southern seaports
in the United Slates are 235,000 bales, against
222,000 bales lust year at the same dates. The
stock in New York is 55,000 bales, against
42,000 last year. The shipments from the south
ern ports to the north roach this year 107,000
bales, agaiiut 93,000 bales at same dates last
year. The following is a comparative statement 1
of the number of vessels loading in the southern

Tlioeu to England and Fiance are mostly load
ing with Cotton, whilst the others are generally ,
engaged in the freight of provisions. j
The great depression in our cotton market has .
been based upon a' eunsidoratiou of warm aud (
growing weather in our cotton region, auuaing
speculators in our staple to increase their estimates ,
of the growing crop from 2 to 300,090 bales over
what they calculated on a mouth ago, aud many j
now estimate the growth of the prassut year, as
high as 2,300,000 bales. Rut wo believe they are '
too sanguine ; from all we ean learn, we de not
believe that the receipts, in any event, ean reach
those figures. But we shall watch this matter
closely, aud keep our readers well informed upon
the subject.

Most of our readers are aware ot the injus
tice which has been long done us, by some
members of the whig party, for the course we
have been constrained by a sense of duty to
pursue. We were called a half democrat, and
our paper was disparaged as a whig journal.
What will be said now ? The resolutions
of Mr. Gartrell in lhe House, and of Mr.
Clayton iu lhe Senate, (both whigs,) are sus
tained by the whig press, as far as we have
yet seen, with the exception ofour u big neigh

I Bishop JEutfiaud’a Works John
Murphy & Co., Baltimork.
i We are indebted to the Rev. John Barry for
a handsomely bound copy, in five volumes, of
lhe works of the Right Rev. John Englund,
first Bishop of Charleston.
These writings, of this distinguished Prelate
of the Roman Catholic Church, have been com
piled under the direction of his immediate suc
cessor, tho Right Reverend Ignatius Aloysios
Reynolds, second Bishop of Charleston. We
have had time to do no more, as yet, than mere
ly to glance through them. But a slight ex
amination, however, impresses us with a full
sense of their great va'ue, whether we regard
their literary or theological merits. They
comprise a vast amount of learning, a full ex
position of the leading tenets of the Catholic
Church, and historical and literary essays and
discourses of rare beauty and excellence.
To the Catholic this presents the highest
attractions; for, while all the leading features
of his church and faith are there found pre
sented in their strongest light, irradiated by
the genius of the author, those most objected
to, by other persuasions, are vindicated by ar
guments so clear and logical as, if not to con
vince, at least to command the admiration ot
the most critical logician.
To the general reader, who desires informa
tion upon theological subjects of great inter
est, which divide the opinions of the civilized
world, and who loves to rove amidst the bright
regions of fervid fancy and intellectual supre
macy, these works offer lhe means of a rich
gratification.
Among other things we will enumerate, as
apart of the contents, the following:—Bio
graphical Sketches and Obituary Notices of
Bishop England—Essays and Letters on In
fallibility—on the Eucharist—on Intention—
on lhe Publication of a Protestant Catechism—
on Liberality—The Definition of Faith—St.
Peter’s Roman Episcopate—Capel PoweF uF
Dispensation—on the Origin of the Accent
Ecclesiastical Privileges and ImmunitiesTor
merly recognized by the Laws of England—
Latter to Governor Troup on lhe Relation of
the Papacy to the Feudal System—on the
History and Doctrines of the Waldenses—
Letters Concerning the Roman Chancery—
Letters on Slavery—Historical Fragments—
Explanations of the Mass and the various
utensils, ornaments, and ceremonies connect
ed with it—Ceremonies of the Holy Week
and Easter Sunday at Romo—Report to the
Archbishop of Baltimore on tho Miraculous
Cure of Mrs. Mattingly—The Republic in

diced American People—Letters from Rome.—
On Certain Superstitions Imputed to Catholics
—Discourse before the Congress of the Uni
ted States; delivered in tho Hall of the House
of Representatives, Jan. Sth, 1826—Various

scent of Ahieaa into Hades, described in the
Sixth Book of lhe ASneid—Harold Correspon
dence--Documents telating to the Burning of
the UrsnlillP C.qjiyciit at Charlestown, Massa
chusetts.
These are among the contents of the works
before us, but the mere enumeration of them
ean give no conception of the intellectual
Pn er gy an d aloquence of style, which they so
richly display. Tc BSS Jhose the work must
be read. We had the pleasure of hearing the
orat on pronounced before the societies at
44)008. It was justly esteemed one of the
most eieyaut apfj efforts ever listen
ed to, spoken too a* it was, with ail th# ortjifit
cal grace, fervor and power lor which Bishop
jPngland was remarkable.
The Leßerj PI) Slavery are a complete and
unanswerable vindication of 11)4
upon scrfpfttfKr irufflßrtTT. - The -ConGewy
on the Roman Chancery, between the Bishop
and l) r Fuller, an eminent Baptist Divine, is
yet fresh in the memory of ffigny who read
their letters with excited interest, at the time '
of their publication.
Those who became acquainted with Bishop
England were struck with his amenity of man
ners, the beauty and richneaa of his conversa
tion, and the prevailing goodnes; qf his heart.
We close our remarks with the following
which we copy from lhe Charleston Courier.
The allusion is to the controversy above re
ferred to on the Roman Qlijncery.
An incident of exceedingly touching charac- (
ter and interest, and beautifully illustrative of
the subduing and reconciling effect of death, 1
aqd eyet) of that of a polemic adversary, oc- ’
curred after the depeqpe sis Bishop England, |
in connexion with this controversy. Jt is
thus elegantly chronicled by A. G. Magrath, '
Esq., in his chaste and beautiful tribute to tbe
nemory of the distinguished prelate, before, '
aqfi pp behalf of the Hibernian Society of this
city i
“In tbe many controversies in which be
was engaged, be has perhaps left no antagonist
entertaining unkind feelings. Always bent
on truth, he needed not the poisoned weapon
of qbyse or invective. Rich in the learning
of his Church, his Ulepts. hja urbanity, his
liberality, gave, to all his discussions, a charac
ter the most edifying and dignified. Religion,
with him, was not a terror, but an affection.
He won his way to the heart, as the Minister
of God, by the unobtrusive simplicity of his
feeling—the unaffected goodness of hi* fiearf.
And so patient, so uncomplaining, so persever
ing was he in the doing of good, by the estab
lishment of his Church, that privations, now
scarcely freijible, were cheerfully undergone,
in order that he w<g|',t the belief effect the
grand object of bis mission to the new world.
To qualities so striking and rare, there could
not fail to be paid the tribute of admiration—
of respect. To such nobility of heart, kindred
genproaijy jyould pay its homage, even if a
difference existed.' At)<i [egr fpflM witness
witpout the deepest sensibility, and nope who
witneased- ffifi O’er forget, the tqute yet
eloquent tribute to hl* wurtl), which a dis
tinguished antagonist paid io hi* cold,
senseless remains. When life’s struggle
was over anrf hi* body sbout to be interred,
features now sleeping. in colorless repose.—
The eye, that was oppe bright with zeal, was
abut forever upon the world—dip tongpe, so
eloquent and convincing, was bushed and still
in the narrow limits of hi* coffin—the frame,
so strong in life, was cold and powerless in
death. There was the victory of death—there
' tbe triumph of God’s will. And he, who gated
npon that body, had now eome to change the
excitement of contest for the meditation of
. death. In that coffin was written the awful
f commentary of a superior power, and the
] burning tear that coursed down the eheek of
. I him who yet survived, was the most beautiful
and affecting tribute from the generosity of
j tbe living, to tbe merit and excellence of tbe
dead.”
The work is for sale at Mr. Joseph Carrie's
'. and Mr. Thomas Richards.
Tuas as Asylum.—Governor Wood, of
Texas, has made a rule not to deliver fugitive
oriminals in compliance with the requisitions
of the Governors of other States, where the
crime was committed previous to the annexa
tion of Texas to the Union.
We trust, that when Canada sues for an
nexation, that a special provision will be made
for the delivery of the thousands of fugitive
slaves who have migrated thither. —[Caroli-

j GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
[From lhe Constitutionalist.]
In Senate, Thursday, Nov. 15, 1819.
The Senate met pursuant to adjournment.
I Mr. Chisolm reported A Bill to authorize
the entering of Appeals from the Justices to
lhe Superior Courts, in the different counties
in this Slate,aud to regulate the proceedings
thereon.
Mr. Woods reported A Bill to lay off a new
Judicial Circuit in this Stale, to be composed
of the counties of Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth,
Lumpkin, Gilmer, Union and Rabun, and to
fix the time of holding the Superior Courts in
; he several counties thereof.
A number of Bills were read a second time
' and referred ; most of them to a Committee of
lhe Whole.
The following message was received from
the Executive, by Col. Smith, Secretary.
Executive Department, )
Milledgeville, Nov. 13, 1849. (
I have the honor to atate in answer to the
Senate’s resolution of the J Oth inst. requesting
me to communicate, at an early day, whether
the military claims of the State upon the Gen
eral Government have been settled, or what
progress has been made in the same, that no
money has been received from this source for
the last two years. The original amount of
the claims, as gathered from the evidence in
this Department, was $243,309 66—upon
which payments were made in the years 1842,
1843, and 1844, to the aggregate aunt of
$113,203 35 and $17,494, in 1847, leaving
$112,612 22, now due.
The length of time that has elapaed since
this advance by [Georgia was made, and tho
deity of justice on the part of the general
Government, would seem to justify a resort to
some other mode than has been heretofore pur
sued, in pressing the subject on the attention
of the authorities at Washington.
It is to be feared, under lhe stringent rules
adopted in the investigation of these claims,
the lapse of time and other causes, that legisla
tion by Congress may be found necessary—
in which event it would be desirable that the
State have an agent in Washington, to prepare
lhe claims for the action of Congress.
—— -GEO. VV.
Mr. Stell laid on the table
Resolutions, which, on motion, were referred
to the Committee on the state of the Repub
lic, and fifty copies ordered to be printed for
the use of the Senate.
1. Be it Resolved, Sic.. That the principles
of the Revenue Tariff, of 1846, and the consti
tutional Treasuty, receive the cordial support
of the people of this State, and that any attempt
on the part of Congress to substitute for lhe
former the protective policy, or for lhe latter a
National Bank, will encounter their untiring
hostility.
2. Resolved, That any legislation by Con
gress on lhe subject of slavery, which has for
its object the prohibition thereof, in any terri
tory which now belongs to, or may be here
after acquired by the Federal Government, or
any other subject which has the effect to de
grade any one or more of t|;e States or destroy
the equality that exists between them> sod
their respective citizens, is violative of the
spirit of our Constitution, destructive to the
rights of the Slates, and will be met by the
determined resistance of the people of Geor
gia.
3. Resolved, That the present Chief Magis
trate of these United States, went into office
with the professions of moderation lingering
upon his lips, and wjtj) )l;e potent declarations
that “ lie had tio party prpjectstp l)uil(l up"—
no “friends to reward nor onpnfic 4 to punish,”
and that in no “ case could he permit himself
to be the candidate of any parly, or yield him
sell to party schemes”—that all such pro
fessions and declarations have been falsified by
hie selection of an ultra party Cabinet, and by
a proscription whose ferocity ia as appalling
to the people as it is disgraceful to its authors.
And that in relation to the appointing power,
he did moat solemnly proclaim that the only
prerequisites to office should be “ honesty,
capacity and fidelity,” and yet ill the pjercise
of that power in this Slate, the present Federal
administration has, in its indiscriminate butch
ery, sacrificed men whose lives are above re

cise of the right of private opinion, “a right

[Editorial Correspondence.]
Milledgeville, Nov. 16.
The resolution to bring on the election of
Btkte mW uffiCTHi,' W-e:; wan tiie
House yesterday morning and passed. A spi
rited debate arose on an amendment to it
which pronosed to strike out State Printer,
with a piety so the passage of a |aw giylllg the
public printing to the lowest bidder-
Mr. Wiggin* opposed tho amendment, and
insisted upon electing the Printer now, and
then reducing his salary and lessening the
(quantity of printing.
Judge Jone* said, that uoiwHnstfeifdjpg the
great improvements that had been recently
made in the facilities of printing, that our pub
lic printing cost more, under the present law,
than it did year* ago, when It was given to
the lowest bidder. Furthermore, he said, he
was opposed to giving elections of any kind to
the Legislature—he would have that body a
purely Tegislntiye q;;e. / t t;d tit? a)so tyaj ip fa
vor of the amendment because combinations, he
said, controlled it as it was, and that more money
was given to suppress c mpetition than the
printing really ought to cost.
Mr, Sljapkelford said he should vote to put
the printing out to the lowest bidder, because
he had learned of one instance in which seven
teen hundred dollars had been actually paid
lo keep down competition.
Mr. McDougald wanted the public treasury
guarded with fidelity. Enormous amounts, he
said, had been paid for public printing that
were, in fact, mere donations. It was a prodi
gal waste ot tbe people's fftoqey tq gay ten
thousand dollars for printing, if it could bo
done for half that amount.
Mr. Wiggins read the law, and asked, even 1
jf cojnbinqtions existed, how could they affect
the treasury, when ths ’amount to be paid was
specified.
Mr. Reynolds did not want the election to
come on now, but was anxious to have a bill
inlrpdfiPptl on the subject, and referred to a
committee, and thoroughly investigated and .
considered-
Mr. £enan WRUN lijte to know what pbjee- i
tion there could be to electing the printer now, |
and then reducirg his salary. Fie held the
pniitiir in railgnmit.;
and said it already had been done ip similar

Mr, Th.C'H?***'? o would vote, he said, for the
amendment, with a special regard to the inter,
ests of the treasury. He would carry the thing
farther, and have the dear people know how
much qf (.heir tqoney wap squandered in yes
terday’s frolic. (The Legislature adjourned
yesterday to attend the commencement of the
Oglethorpe University.) He was fpr holding
night sessions, and working faithfully ail the
time-
Mr. McDougald said if this Legislature
only required corporal labor, it would do well
enough to have night sessions. The Chero

way. The Parliament of Great Britain Mt
altogether in the night, but it was because
their deeds were evil.
Mr. Jones called Mr. McD. to order.
Mr. McDougald said he knew he was out of
order, but he was not alone in that, and be felt
he bad the same right to play truant that any of
. them had.
The vote was then taken on the amendment,
and it was T3li. Perhaps it is well. Combina
tions might qontrol the elections so as to af
fect the treasury, if it was given to tho lownst
bidder. They cannot as lhe law stands, and
if they are paid too much now, that is an evil
easy to remedy. d.
P. B.—We had a “ big talk ” on the floor
of the House, yesterday, on the subject of
slavery. I’ll endeavor to give you a sketch of
it to-morrow. “ Metamora was there, and
talked to his tribo about tho Great Spirit and
the pale faces.” d.
[Editorial Correspondence.]
Milledgeville, Nov. 17.
The most animated discussion we have yet
had in the House was elicited by the third
reading of Judge Jones's bill to repeal all laws
interdicting the importation of slaves into
Georgia for sale. In a former letter I gave
you the points of several gentlemen at lhe
openiii* ol the debate. On Saturday the in
vestigation of the matter was resumed, and for
an hour tn the forenoon, and three in the after
noon, U|f discussion toak a wide range.
Messrs. Jenkins, Kenan, Stephens and Wor
rill oppoibd il. Messrs. Jones, Ramsey, Gar
trell, Lajvton, McDougald, Howard, Thomas
son and Robinson supported it.
I will lot undertake Io report the efforts of
these gentlemen, but as their names must
hereafter be often the subject of allusion, I
will endqgvor to give you some idea of the new
mcmbMg, or the younger speakers, who are
now aIM( to enter upon the stage of public
life, destined to control our country’s
no distant day. In the P. S. to
my lastjbtter, an allusion was made indirectly
to one. gentleman, who was neither a new
tnembcXnor a young man. That allusion
may tmUie understood abroad. Howeveruni
versadjjt may be known and fth who“Meta

by such a distinction, albeit that much may be
said without atty disparagement whatever, of
the ability tiiat shone in tho debate.
“He hath a daily beauty in his life,” that en
twines about him, lhe parent affections of lhe
human heart. "Half all men’s hearts are his,”
Georgia, fruitful as ahe is of genius, and of
virtue, holds few mi n beloved like him.
When his bell tones ring through the house,
the speaker has no use for his maee. Atten
tion is in fetters. Upon thia occasion, he held
the house in breathless admiration, while he
was thundering against a popular measure.—
He warned them of the evils that m u<t result
from (training and exhausting the border slave
Stalos of their slave resources. He told them
to beware, how they increased lhe negre po
pulation here at the expense of slave States
further north. He said he sootier see

six, than to see Virginia have only sij bqsed

was a dead letter, the trajfic must fie going on
now, and Georgia ppu|d derive nn additional
advantages from its repeal, for whether the
traffic was open or aeeret could not affect its
results. He drew a graphic picture of the
spectacles exhibited in the streets of oar cities,
and on our highways, nf droves of slaves be

Milledgeville, Nov. 17.
The elections by lhe Legislature terminated
at 13 M. to day, and the following is tho re
sult:
Mr. G. VV. Harrison, dem., of Randolph,
•was elected Secretary of State, on the eighth
balloting ; receiving 125 votes.
Mr. Win B. Tinsley, whi , was re-elected
Slate Treasurer.
Mr. J. R. Butt was elected Surveyor Gen
eral; and Mr. Candler, of Carroll, Cornptrolle:
General.
Mr. S. Ray, of the Macon Telegraph, was
elected State Printer; receiving 96 voles. Our
fellow citizen, Col. Gardner, received fifty.
Mr. John Boston, of Chatham, was elected
Director of the State Bank.
Titaddcus G. Sturgis (sun of Judge Sturgis,
of Columbus.) was elected Solicitor General
of lhe Southern Circuit, 't be contest was
vary dose between him and Mr. Jourdon, of
Pulaski.
Every stage that leaves now is full of pas
sengers. The elections are over, and I think
we’ll have a more quiet and pleasant time.
In the House we have a Speaker who presides
with dignity and ability. He has not had much
of an opportunity yet to exhibit his business
capacity, but I am inclined to think dispatch
will bo his motto. The Officers of the House
arc pleasant and efficient gentlemen. Mr.
Harrison, the Clerk, and his assistants, give
universal satisfaction. In lhe Senate, the pre
siding Officer is no stranger to his official du
ties. The Secretary, Mr. Glenn, isone of the
must active, ready, and excellent officers we
aver saw.
The ci'y is not at all crowded with strangers
now. Tho Supreme Court will adjourn on
Tuesday. d.
WWe eopy tho following aemarks from the
Macon Journal &. Messenger, on lhe sub
ject of Measca. Gartrell’s and Clayton’s roso
-1 at on*:
Milledgeville. Nov. 12th, 1849.
Gentlemen: —The leading feature in the
proceedings of the Legislature this morning,
was the simultaneous introduction in each
branch of a series of strung and pointed resolu
tions, on the subject of slavery. They were
reported by Mr. Clayton of Clarke, in the
Senate, and Mr. Gartrell of Wilkes in the
House. They are not harsh or violent in
their language, but very deicnnined and
manly in their tone. They plant lhe Stale
es Georgia upon lhe eoiistiiutioiuil question,
and solemnly declare, that the present sys
tem of encroachment upon the Constitu
tion and the rights of l||p South, is unjust,
uncmtatityihmal und intolerable; and that if
persisted in, itia the immediate and imperative
duly of the people nf Georgia, to meet in con
vention, to consult upon the mode and measure
of redress. They proclaim our devotion to
the Union, and yet plainly intimate, that even
lhe Union is not as dear to us as our honor
and our rights.
Surely no Southern rn a n ? a h object to the
»pbsljinpe pf ihpse resolutions.
The Proviso is either cpnslituliotial or unepn
slitatiunal. If constitutiupal, then its adoption
Iweapies a question pf power, and the Sopth
has no remedy hut submission or revolution.
|f unponstiintional,««alledgi'd in ihe*a resolu
tion*, then lhe perakteuee of our Northern
brethren in its passage, proves that they have
no regard for their plighted faith, and none for
the compact which resulted in the confederacy
of the Slates.
These reaolflljjjM jprpw the ptttire tespon
siu|i|tj l|pon tjie people of the non-slavcbolding
States. If they desire to perpetuate ih ß Pniop.
they must (|esjsl ftom their pHtfeiU system of
vnariatUhmenl—they must tteasc to press the
Proviso for the avowed purpose of asser.ing
their right to legislate upon tho question of
slavery—they must abandon ah idea of inter
fering with the institution itt ([ip S'ljcs—
l*.‘V .W«*L fiUMillg law* in
violation of the Constitution, the purpose and
effect es which are to rob Southern men of
their property.
These resolutions take the true Southern
groun^—they assume t|,e npsitittn which ah
parties, Whigs and Democrats must occupy
in the approaching crisis; and I hope to see
them adopted without a dissenting voice in
either branch of the Legislature. These are
essentially Whig resolutions, introduced by
Whigs, and if they are voted ddwlp ifie t)emoc
racy Vill have to tpeet the responsibility.
We copy the following on tpe milled of the
eleption of Judges by the people, from the edi
torial correspondence of tho Macon Journal &
Messenger:
“The proposition to cleet Judges by the peo
ple is evidently gaining in public estimation.
No one who witnesses the electioneering
tricks of the aspirants—the corru- lion atid l[;p
open bargajp i| ( e s e elections
bbfofp the Leglslatqre give rise to, cun doubt
the propriety of some change. Men come
here and are forced for political purposes, up
on the bench o' thp Court,’who are
actually unlit to fill the office of justice of the
Peace. If the elections were given to the peo
ple, the ignorance and incapacity q| ;|iese as
pirants could it is thought, lie exposed by the
public press ; and as the field would be greatly
enlarged, they could n<>t so renfitly qpprqacn
or corrupt the elections, [n the Legislature,
thp ohfiipe of a Judge is often determined by
some other election. Open or secret bargains
are made, and votes are traded just as jockeys
trade horses, both parlies being often most
egregiously cheated. This hqs A 1 l e A* k been
thp cqsa in pftsl year*. | dp not say that it is
so with the present Legislature ; for that might
entitle me to a seat in the Lobby. Human
nature however, is the sp.me ill Al ages, and
alihofigh we p>«y haye a very pure set of Le
gislators now, we have no assurance that we
shall be so lucky in future years. The Legis
lator* have motives to encourage these bar
gains. The people will have no object but to
secure the service* of competent and honest
man, ipeu to whose gaardiapsiiip they pan trust
their fortunes, ifieir lives, and their honor.—
They are interested in making a good choice,
and may therefore, disregard parly considera
tions, wheryja, fit* politician* never will, be
cause their very existence depend* upon the
support of the m*n who have supported them.
Owing to theae snd oilier considerations, I
say, thuru t* a change now going on in public
sentiment here, and many of the oldest, and
wisest and purest men are disposed to favor the
passage of Mr. McDougald’s Bill, or some
kindred measure. There is no provision
either iu ||;o popstit(i(io;t or by |a w fftr the elec
tion of Judges Uy the Legislature, and many
contend that it is an usurpation of power which
firoperly belongs tp the people, mid tfiql it tend*

Thurible Steamboat Explosion.—A ter
rible steamboat explosion took place last even

starting, burst her boiler, shattering the steam
ers Storm and Bostonia, lying alongside. The
Louisiana was crowded with passengers, and
so was the Storm, which had just arrived.—
More than fifty dead bodies have already been
found. The number of deaths from this aw
ful calamity is estimated at 150! The levee,
after the accident was strewn with dead bodies
and arms and legs. It was indeed a terrible
acene. It ia impossible to ascertain the num
ber of lives lost,
[By Telegraph for the Charleston Mercury.]
New Orleans, Nov. 17.
Capt. Kennon, of the steamboat Louisiana,
has been arrested and put under bail of SBOOO.
The explosion is attributed to the carelessness

thought the entire number destroyed will not
fall short of two hundred. The flags of our

ENGLAND.
The English press devotes much space to
the consideration of the Canadian annexa
tion address. The London Times says, by
whomsoever proposed or concocted, it reflects
great credit upon the tact, skill, and adroitness
of its author. In speuking of the annexa
tion of Canada to the United States, the
Times says, that the conduct of lhe people
will be directed by motives of the prudence
and interest alone if they think they can do
without Canada. Then and there only will
they give up Canada. They will not eede
those harbors which must ever command the
mouth cf the St. and protect the
trade of the Atlantic.
FRANCE.
The French Ministry has resigned or been
dismissed, because of their disinclination to
sustain the views embodied in the President’s
letter to M. Ney, relating to the affairs of Rome.
Great excitement existed in Paris in conse
quence, but the President wns firm and has
written a letter to the Assembly which the
London Times characterizes as imprudent but
spirited. He has formed a new Cabinet, whish
wholly represents the views of the President j
and a majority of the .Yssembly.
M. Thiers, M. Mole, and Gen. Chnngarmer,
support the new ministry, but have too much
prudence, it is said, to join it.
