The steamer Cambria arrived to-day at 8 o'clock, and sailed for Boston at 10 o’clock, where she will be due to-morrow evening. The Cambria brings 50 passengers. The steamer Humboldt arrived at Cowes on the 31st. , . Kossuth had paid a public visit to London, ano been received with much enthusiasm. j The Overland Mail had arrived. Ihe report of the condition of trade in India was satislac f The London money market was easy at 21 a 3 j percent. Consul* closed at 971 a97 J. j England.—The leading topic of remark is the I visit of the illustrious Kossuth. He has been re- j ceived everywhere with the most marked atten- ; tion. The banquet given in his honor, at South- ; ampton, was a magnificent affair. The London Times, however, continues to attack him very j severely, and its comments have, to some extent, ! influenced public opinion. Kossuth will leave j with his family for America in the steamer j Washington, which sails on the 13th inst. Lady Franklin has made a powerful appeal to j the admiralty to send out a steamer to explore | the passage which Capt. I’erry thinks exists, j Her appeal has been stiongly sustained by a large portion of the public press and by many persons of intluence. It was thought the principal subjects which would engage the attention of Parliament at the next session would be the Custom House reforms, the steam mail contract system, and law part nerships. France. —A general feeling ol uneasiness pre vails in Paris and throughout the Departments, and an outbreak is soon anticipated. The funds, in consequence of this unfavorable state of af lairs, are greatly depressed. The Prefect of Paris, in view of the alarming asjiect of things, had no tified the citizens to hold themselves in readiness, as their services might be required in the cause of order. India. —The overland mail reports the state of trade and the condition of political affairs, us entirely satisfactory. The Governor General of India had determined to seize upon the territo ries of Dost Mahomed, which it was thought would lead to serious results. Liverpool, Nov. 1. Markets. —Fair qualities cotton had declined ia id Middling was unchanged. The sales of the week 46,000 bale*, of which expoiters took 5800 bales. Fair Upland and Mobile 51; Fair Orleans sid; Middling Uplands lid; Oi leans IJ a 41. Flour and wheat were heavy. Western llour was quoted at 18 a 19s. Yellow corn 20 a 275; mixed 25 a 20s. Corn meal was unchanged. Trade in Manchester was generally unchang ed trom previous accounts. The accounts from India as regards goods, were considered unfavor able. London Money Market. —The funds have fluctuated considerably, owing to the unfavorable accounts from France. Foreign stocks, particu larly American, are dull. Boston, Nov. 14.—The steamer Cambria ar rived at her wharf at an early hour this morning, and her mails were forwarded in the morning train. England. —The news from England with the excep'ion of the movements of Kossuth is un important, Kossuth and his family had accepted the offer of a free passage on board the steamer Washing ton, which would leave Southampton for New York on the 14th. Mr. JCoskry, the American Consul, had delayed her sailing to afford Kossuth the opportunity of being present at the Polish and Hungarian Ball which would take place at Southampton on the 13th. The illustrious Hungarian had been received most flatteringly I at Guild Hall, in London. The address trom the j corporation was read to him by the City Clerk; | and his passage through the city was a continu- j ous triumph. In the evening a large crowd j gathered in frontot the Times ollice and burned I several copies of that paper. Extensive prepara- j tions were making to receive Kossuth at Liver pool. Lord Dudley Stuart had been selected to deliver the address u|>oii the occasion. France. —The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Globe, under date of Thursday, still predicts that there will lie a compromise between the President and a majority of the Assembly. Bu siness still, however, wears a gloomy aspect, and j nearly all orders received by manufacturers have i been suspended. The Democratic socialists are furious against i Kossuth, but have resolved not to give publicity j to their opinions lor tear of injuring their cause. The Semaphore of Marseilles publishes a letter ! dated Kabot, Morocco, October 11th, announcing j that the French Consul had received orders to j embark all the French residents, as the French | fleet was about to bombard the town of Salo as a reprisal against the Emperor of Morocco for requiring compensation for the pillage of a French merchant vessel wrecked on tlie coast. In consequence of the ministerial crisis, the Prince de Joinville's advisers have received in structions that all proceedings with regard to his standing as a candidate for the Presidency, be withdrawn. It is reported that the President intends to make an appeal tothe Assembly, to hasten the Presidential election, instead of waiting for the period fixed by the constitution. The new Cabinet gives great dissatisfaction, and it is expected that some of the ministers will retire before the meeting of the Assembly.— Gen. Auranen (?) the Minister of War. has is sued the following order: “Soldiers. —The President of the Republic calls me to your head. The honor is great, and the task will be easy if you remain as you are— united by the law of duty and strong in your j discipline. In very post where order is weak-' ened—in every post where the public peace is ! menaced, the honest people turn their eyes and I seek you. Never was a cause more sacred en trusted to men more worthy to defend it. For get not that in difficult times, the army prevents by mere energy ot attitude, the disorders which it could repress by using force. Esprit de corps. the honor of our flag, and the glory of the Em pire, are the sentiments which should inspire and sustain us. Let us carry military honor so high, that in the midst of the elements of dis solution fomenting around us. it may appear a means of safety to menaced society." Spain. —The Madrid Military Gazette states j that one hundred cannon had been sent to Ha- j vana, for the armament of the forts along the coast of Cuba. Algiers. —Large numbers of the southern tribes of Arabs having assembled in various part* of Onarglab and Menaub, Gen. De Salles. Com mander of the Province, ordered 400 horsemen \ to proceed to Trigginth, which place the insur- j gents expected to attack. They found the latter , had already commenced an assault, when they | immediately assailed the enemy, and after two ■ hours fighting routed them. Markets. —Baring's Circular states that the j markets forcoloeial and foreign produce have j been very dull throughout the week, and to ef fect sales importers had again made concessions j in many articles. Money continued extremely abundant, but no change had been made in the Bank rates of discount. Silver had been in de mand for India, and had advanced J per cent. The East India company had reduced their rates ou bills of exchange on Calcutta to 2s Id., and on Bambay to 2 s. id. American Stocks are inactive. U.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE. t See First Page of Daily and Tri-weekly. Editorial Correspondence. Milledgeville, Nov. 14, 1851.- I The indications are that this will be a very busy and working session. Some idea may be formed of the prospect from the fact, that there are already introduced in the House over one | hundred bills. Many of them might, with much ! propriety, have been kept away from here, as the objects they seek would be as well accom- I plished, under the general law giving Inferior Courts of the respective counties authority to grant acts of incorporation, &c., which was in tended to relieve the Legislature of a large class 1 of bills. The business of the two branches of the Gen , cral Assembly progresses with much harmony. | Mr. Miller, in Hie Senate, and Mr. Meriwether, | in the House, seem to get along very smoothly, j and prove themselves efficient and courteous I presiding officers. The election of the Hon. J. W. Anderson, President, pro tem., of the Senate, during the absence of Mr. Miller, was a well bestowed compliment. Mr. Anderson was Speaker of the last House ol Representatives, and discharged the duties with great credit to himself. The affairs of the Penitentiary are to undergo a very thorough investigation, and, in due time, lto doubt, an elaborate report will he laid before the Legislature by the Joint Committee. Until that time, I shall forbear any comments upon the subject. One favorable indication of its finan cial management,however, may here tie mention ed. Gov. Towns states, in his last message, that, for the four years of his administration, it has been conducted without any appropriation I from, or charge upon the State Treasury. 1 The Senate, after rejecting, yesterday, the re solution of the House, to authorize the Joint Committee on Internal Improvements to appoint a Sub-Committee of two from the Senate, and three from the House, to examine into the affairs, condition, Ike.., of the State Road, reconsidered it this morning, and adopted it. If this Sub-Com mittee discharged, thoroughly, all the duties as signed them, according to the literal terms of the resolution, the members will have but little time left for any other duties this session. The sentiment is general in this Legislature, in favor of placing this great Road in thorough repair | and equipment, and the probability is, that a full and adequate appropriation will he made for the purpose. The creation of additional counties, and of ad ditional judicial circuits in this State, are among the important subjects of legislation at this ses sion. The Constitutional Bill, to give each county a Senator, has already passed the Senate by the requisite majority. If it pass the House, in like manner, then the Constitution becomes altered to that extent, the bill having passed the last Legislature. Thus we will have ninety ! five Senators. Before this heavy additional expense is eiitail ! ed upon the Treasury, it is to be hoped that the | ad valorem system, or some other system of tax j ation, more just and equal than the present, will \be adopted. Until then, no more new counties should lie organized. The organization of additional judicial circuits, was needed to equalize, in some resjiects, the la bors of the Superior Court Judges, and it is to he hoped,the bill creating the Blue Ridge Circuit, and j the Macon Circuit, which has passed the Senate, I will journey safely through the House. Four of I the Judges now have to l»e nearly hair the year j nu the circuit, and though the presumption that a Judge, while not on his riding, is in his library | studying, is rather a violent one sometimes, yet each J mlge should certainly have the privilege i of being at home and among his books a reason able portion of his time. j Mr. Hardeman lias brought into the Senate a j bill to protect the rights of married women. We " ill have, l presume, this session, another of the usual biennial discussions, affording such a fruit ful theme for eloquence, upon this subject ot wo ; man s rights and duties. As there is room for I amendment of the present laws on the subject, it is to be hoped the question will be finally met : and argued. There is no ground to apprehend. [ from this movement, any formidable encroach j ments upon manly prerogatives among us, from the spirit of Blonmerism and Fourierism, which | afflict other portions of our Republic. I send some resolutions introduced into the House by Mr. Seward, of Thomas, on the sub ject of the Presidential election, and the appoint j ment of delegates to a National Democratic Con vention. The House refused to suspend the rules in order to consider them. I also send a set of | resolutions on the same subject, laid on the table I by Mr. Tift. [We have not room for these resolutions this morning, but will give them in our next paper.] The introduction of these resolutions at this time, is of doubtful policy—at least by members of the Legislature elected as Southern Rights t men, though the resolutions themselves set forth j correct views, and shadow forth the proper policy jot the State. It would have been better for : them to come from the Union side, for they doubtless express the real views and wishes of that party, or a large portion of them. But as they are so fettered by their own pledges as not to be in a condition, at present, openly to take j democratic ground, it seemed, to some of the I Southern Rights party, incumbent on them to | make the first move. j Both divisions of the people of the State are, I apparently, moving to the same point, and will j meet at the ballot-box next November, support : ing the same candidates. Whether the move- i ments ot Mr. i'itt and Mr. Seward, in the House. 1 will bring them together in a common move ment before that time, so that Georgia may act 1 as a unit, remains to be seen. It is, in this con ciliatory spirit, and with this view, their resolu- 1 tions were brought forward. In the same spirit, a meeting of Democrats 1 took place last evening, and adopted resolutions a for a Democratic meeting on the 25th inst. I send herewith a copy of its proceedings. It 1 would have been better, in the opinion of some, j to delay action, and await the development* which the meeting of Congress will furnish. One thing is probable. It is, that the proceed ings of the National Whig party will not be such as will enable the Union party of Georgia to coalesce with them. In that case there will be no obstacles, unless past party exasperations should create them, to the Union of both parties in a common convention, to appoint delegates under suitable instructions, to the National De mocratic Convention. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. A jiortion of the Democratic party, consisting of members ot the Legislature, and others, con vened in the city of Milledgeville, on Thursday evening, the 13th November, 1851. lion. Joseph Day was called to the Chair, and A. A. Gaulding, appointed Secretary. On motion of James Gardner, Jun’r.— Resolved, That a meeting of the friends of De mocratic principles, be held in the Representa tive Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 20th of Nov., inst., for the purpose of making arrangements for the call of a Convention to appoint Dele gates to meet the National Democratic party, in Convention, to nominate candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President of the United States. Resolved , That a Committee of Five be ap pointed to draft suitable resolutions to be sub mitted to said meeting. Mr. Gardner, at his own request, having been excused from serving on said Committee, the Chair appointed Hon. 11. V. Johnson, Sam’). J. Ray, Nelson Tift, R. A. L. Atkinson, and T. S. M. Bloodworth, that Committee. On motion— Resolved , That t/ie friends of De mocratic principles, from every part of the State, be cordially invited to attend said, meeting, and participate in its deliberations. Col. D. C. Campbell, G. W. Harrison, and Mr. Boughton, were appointed a Committee to make suitable arrangements for the meeting. On motion, the meeting then adjourned. JOSEPH DAY, Chairman. A. A. Gailihng, Secretary. Milledgevillk, Nov. 14, 1851. Frocsediugg of the House.

By Mr. Felton : To prevent trespassers upon lands, and to make it a penal offence for any per son to cut arid carry away wood from the laud of another, without his consent. Mr. Bartow offered a lesolutiou, which was agreed to, that a sub-committee be raised, from the joint committee on Internal Improvements, for the purpose of proceeding to the State Road, in order to examine closely into its condition— to ascertain what amount of appropriation will iie required to put the Road in complete order— to examine the books of the various officers, and learn, if possible, the expenditures and profits of the Road, Ike. All information collected by this committee is to be uqiorted to the Legislature as soon as practicable. A resolution was also agreed to, investing the committee on the Penitentiary with power to compel the attendance of persons, and the pro ductions of papers, in their efforts to look thoroughly into the affairs of that Institution. A similar resolution was introduced into the Sen ate by Mr. Moore, and agreed to. The following bills ware read the first time in the Senate: By .Me. Hardeman: To preserve and protect the right, of married women. By Mr. Wellborn : To change the time of the meeting of the General Assembly. Mr. Rellume, from the Joint Select commit tee on the Executive Mansion, made a report, recommending an appropriation of SBOOO for re pairing and furnishing the Governor's residence. The Governor transmitted a message to the Senate,signifying his intention to exercise the dis cretion allowed to the Governor, by the act of 1813, to require the assets of the Central Bank to be deposited in the Treasury, whenever the public interest shall require it. His intention is to bring the affairs of the Bank to a close, as speedily as possible. The communication was referred to the Finance committee. The bill to compensate Executors, Adminis trators and Guardians, in certain cases, was pass ed. The President of the Senate, having obtained leave of absence for a few days, the Hon. John W. Anderson, of Chatham, was elected Presi dent. pro tern. M ii.leduevillk, Nov. 15.1851. In the House.

The bill, organizing a new Judicial Circuit, to , be called “ Blue Ridge Circuit,” composed of the counties of Cobb, Campbell, Cherokee, Forsyth, Lutnpkin, Union and Gilmer; and another, to be called “ Macon Circuit,'’ composed of the coun ties of Bibb, Houston, Twiggs. Dooly, Macon and Crawford, passed without a division. The Senate has concurred in the resolution of j. the House, providing for the appointment of a sub-committee from the committee on Internal Improvements, to examine into the affairs of , Western & Atlantic Railroad, by a vote of 31 to 8. 1 Advertising. When the publisher of a paper recommends to the owners of goods, wares and merchandize, to advertise, and that liberally, as the best means of increasing their business and accumulating wealth, it is often attributed to a selfish mo tive. Perhaps there is no greater error than this. Doubtless the publisher would be pleas ’ ed to advertise more, in order to increase bis ’ own gains; but that does not prove his sel i j fishness in his advice to the seller. He knows, that while he might make more, the seller would profit perlups fifty, or a hundred fold more than . himself. We saw, not long since, a statement to this effect, in substance, made by a gentleman who visited a pateut medicine establishment in New York. He said the proprietor showed him a little tin case, with some medicine in it, for ad vertising which, alone, he paid $7,000, and yet reaped a profit ol $19,000. Some of these patent medicine men pay out, annually, from 25 to 00 thousand dollars, and yet, in a few years, become immensely wealthy. A merchant buys a large stock of goods, rents a fine room to put them in, and then wants what? Why, of course, as many good custom ers as possible. How is he to get them 1 Sim ply by opening his door, and putting a sign over it > (Some people neither advertise nor put up signs!) No, he must advertise, and that liber ally. A few lines wont answer the purpose. He ought to mak’ a show in the papers in which he advertises. His name should appear fre quently, under numerous short advertisements, detailing the names of bis various goods. This attracts public attention, and the public will wish to see those fine articles, of excellent quali- ! ty, sold at “ cheap prices.” Some houses are so well known, that there is no 1 necessity tor the proprietors to advertise 1 Weil, ! let them depend upon being well known. A ; younger house puts prominent cards in the pa- i pers—'‘Great Bargains to be had here"—“The I cheapest and best stock of goods or groceries ever ! brought to this market''—and the public will be 1 certain to go to look after those great bargains, ! and, by degrees, the younger house will draw off the customers of the older, and leave them to ! wonder at the change, and rail at fate. But there is another important view to be ; taken of this matter. A merchant, for instance. 1 here in Augusta, has not only to advertise to j protect his interests against the rivalry of his : neighbors, but he, and the merchants of our city. ■ ought to advertise to protect themselves against | the rivalry of other cities. If the public spirit of all the merchants, and of every man who has any thing to sell, in the city ot Augusta, was i such as to make them advertise to even twice the amount they now do, this parade of their firms and articles for sale, in the public papers, would draw a large amount of trade to the city which is carried elsewhere. There can be no doubt of this. Augusta, her merchants and dealers of all kinds, her great variety of all the articles needed i by the country, would be seen and read, and hun- j dreds would be attracted to her market, who , would otherwise deal in other places. It is uot enough that our merchants are polite and accom modating—possess every variety of goods which | the country needs, of good qualities and at mo derate prices— f hey must be known, and they must le -iie people every where know what they ! have got for sale. While we would be pleased to see other papers used as media of adver.ising, we would take i occasion to say. that the Constitutionalist Re- i pullic has the largest circulation of any paper in ' i the State. It would afford us pleasure to make ; its columns mutually beneficial to ourselt ami the advertising public. While it would be thus ad- < vantageous to both, there is no question that the j advertiser would reap immensely more profit j ( than the publisher. | Kossuth —One of the officers of the U. S. fri- j J gats Mississippi publishes, in ths New York i b Times of the 13th inst., a letter speaking in terms ot indignant denunciation of the assertions made by foreign letter writers, to the effect that the officers of the frigate were disgusted with Kossuth and his friends, ar.d their conduct in the Mediterranean. He denounces all the stories in circulation about them as sheer fabrications, and invites the public to visit the officers of the fri gate, and ask them personally on the subject. Good Dividend. The Board of Directors of the Bank of Au gusta, have declared a dividend of Four Dollars per share out of the profits of the past six i months, payable on demand. Gy We would call attention to the Auction sales of Mr. A Lafitte, and of Messrs. Girardey & Parker, which takes place this day. Mods. Adrien Gives his last entertainment this evening at Concert Hull. He is, next to his father, one of | th i best magicians we have'seen. Mons Andrieu, ' who accompanies him, is an excellent imitator in the line of Characters selected by him, and the travelling agent, Mr. Reinenter, has proved him self a gentleman in all the transactions we have had with him. Mons. Adrien leaves to-morrow for Madison, : Athens and Atlanta, in which towns he intends | giving specimens ol his art. Those who visit his entertainments will go away well pleased.

He says that ladies wear corsets from a feeling of instinct, having a natural love for being squeezed. \ Naval. —According to (he last accounts from j Valparaiso, the U. S. store ship Supply would sail for home about the 10th or 15th of October. The Falmouth expected to follow in a week or ten days after, or as soon as her crew recovered from scurvy and diarrhtea, from which they were suffering, in consequence of arduous service. The St. Marys, it was thought, would be dis patched as soon as the troubles in Chili were settled, to San Francisco, for the purpose of taking to their homes eeitain Japanese, who have ten ' promised a passage by our Government. From the East Indies she would return home, via the I Cape of Good Hope. The officers of the squad ron were all well. A celebrated gambler, after attending a great revival meeting, experienced, as he thought, a 1 a change of feeling, and was finally induced to ' take his seat on the‘‘anxious seat.” The minister commenced examining them on their experience and the state of their feelings, and finally ap proaching the gambler, asked, “Well, my friend, wiiut do you say?” ••Oh,” replied he, uncon | sciously, “I pass! —what do you do, old fellow!’ 4 t turning to his left hand neighbor , New Flying Machine. , i The thousand and first new experiment for j (lying by jnaehinery is just reported by a cor ! j respondent ot the New York Times. It is the j invention of a M.ons. Petin, who has been fifteen years engaged upon the machine. He claims for his discovery that it is devised under the application of well known laws, and the most I rigid analogies, to a new form. He has exjieri i molded largely in studies of the laws of motion, j exemplified equally in animated and inert bodies. [ In this pursuit he has expended immense sums | of money, which he needs now only a voyage in thin air to realize again. His model is now • on exhibition and is described as “a light open | framework of wood, nearly two hundred feet i in length by twenty feet in breadth, which with j all its apparatus of cordage, sails, steam engines, ' (of which there are two small ones) ballast, ! crew, (of eight men) and with the three balloons j to which it is attached, and which have an ele -1 rating force of 10.000 kilogrammes, weighs I 7000 kilogrammes, (15,500 pounds.) The es j sential features of Petin’s discovery, are a ful- I crum or {centre of resistance, [point d'appui) > which is in that part of his machine below the | balloons, that may be called the hull, and the | production at will of a continued ceries of mo i tions whose lines are descried by the lines of a j continued series of inclined plaips.” Marriage or Mary Taylor.— Miss Mary j Taylor, the celebrated actress, “Our Mary Tay | lor,” was married on Tuesday last,at NevvjYork. 1 to a Mr. Ewing, who, we believe, is an actor, and j a young man of great merit and respectability.

The Result. —We have carefully revisedonr election tables this morning, and find no error. Still, exactness is not to be presumed. If we can determine u-ho is tlertcd , when the majority is only about 200 in a total of say 100,000 votes, it is as much as can be expected. The Albany Argus of this morning arrives at the same results us ourselves, though its majori ties ditier somewhat from our own. It gives Wright 4V5 majority. Cook 202, Chatfield only 185, Fitzhugh 702. Ol the votes for the other candidates it furnishes no tables—the majorities being so decisive, that no nice calculation was deemed necessary. In regard to the four above mentioned, the Argus says: " The vote is so close that any com paratively small inaccuracy in the returns ma> reverse the supposed success or defeat of eithei candidate.’’ The Argus concedes two Whig members lo- Niagara enmity, (contrary to the report in the Albany Evening Journal which we copied this morning.) and thus makes the House stand— Whigs 05. Democrats 63. Whig majority two. Senate, a tie. The Albany Register makes the majority 0 f Wright 464, Chatlield 286 j Cook 57, Fit/.lnch 743. It says the latest account from Eric gives Cook in that county 2324 lnaj. instead of 2434 as reported to us last evening' from Bullalo by telegraph, this would reduce Cook's majority by our table to 146. The Register concedes one of the Niagara members to the Democrats, and thus makes the House, as well as the Senate, a tie.—A'. Y. Jour Com., 14/A inst. m W ASHINfiTON, Nov. 11, P. M.

Spain and the United States. A Washington letter in the New York Jour rial ot Commerce says— The negotiation 'with Spain, through the Spanish minister here, on the subject ot the re lease ol American prisoners, and the satisfaction to be rendered by this Government to the Span ish Consul and Spanish residents of New Orleans has gone on very smoothly; and it was the gen eral impression that the Whole matter would be soon and definitely settled, and to the mutual satisfaction of both Governments. All that Spain was supposed to demand, or is entitled to demand, of this Government, is com pensation to the Consul and other Spanish sub jects for their losses in the New Orleans riots, or in consequence of their expulsion trom the city, and a disavowal of those injurious acts and of any" violation of the privileges of the Consul by this Government. A week ago it might have been, and was. sup posed that the whole difficulty was ended. But it appears that the Spanish minister has deman ded that a salute of twenty-four guns be fired upon the return of the Spanish Consul to Nsw Orleans. If I understand it, it has been required/ that the Spanish flag, when hoisted over the Consular office, shall be saluted with twenty four guns. Air. Webster has. as I surmise, refused to as sent to this. But he proposes that the acts com plained of be disavowed by this Government and that it be recommended to Congress to make* an appropriation to pay the sum which may L» agreed upon, as a suitable compensation to the Consul and to the Spanish subjects who are re sidents in New Orleans. The subject is still before the President a -'d the Cabinet, and it is not decided whether to ac cede to Mr. Calderon's terms or not—in the particular which he insists upon-—that i« a na tionalsaiute to the Spanish flag.
