REPORT. the 10th of December, 1850, the State of Georgia assembled in sovereign Convention, to consider her duty, in relation to the series ot measures adopted by the last Congress, known us “the compromise,” and deliberately decided, for the sake of the Union, to acquiesce therein. That decision, by the late elections for Governor and members of the General Assembly, has been ratified by an overwhelming majority of the peo ple. It stands recorded, as the solemn judgment of the State in the premises, from which there is uo appeal, and to which, all her citizens are bound to render a loyal obedience. Whatever differences of opinion have existed among the ■ people of Georgia, in relation to the expediency and wisdom of that decision, or however animat- j ed and excited the controversy at the hustings I and at the polls, patriotism and prudence both I suggest, that these should be consigned to the 1 “tomb of the Capulets,” and that the future should { find them united as one man, upon some com- | mon platform, for the maintenance of the rights and honor of the State, the integrity and pros perity of the Union. Fortunately lor the people of Georgia, the de cision of the Convention, already alluded to, fur nishes a ground upon which all can rally, for fu ture action, without any sacrifice of principle, and with strong hope of effecting something for the prosperity and harmony of our common country. We allude of course to the two following resolu tions of that Convention, to wit: “That the State of Georgia, in the judgment ol the Convention, will and ough, to resist, even (in o lust resort ,) to a disruption of every tie which binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or in any places subject to the juris diction of Congress, incompatible with the safe ty, domestic tranquility, the rights and honor of the slaveholding States, or any act suppressing the slave trade between slaveholding States, or any refusal to admit as a State any territory here after applying, because of the existence of slavery therein : or any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves into the territories of Utah and New Mexico, or any act repealing or materially modi fying the laws now in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves. “That it is the deliberate opinion of this Con vention upon the faithful execution of the Fugi tive Slave Law by the proper authorities, depends the preservation of our much loved Union.” These resolutions look to the future. The one defines the Rubicon beyond which Congress must not pass ; the other insists upon the faithful execution of the “Fugitive Slave Law,” by the proper authorities, as indispensible to the pre- ! servation of our much loved Union. Upon their passage in the Convention, there was little, if any, diversity of opinion. They doubtless form ed the controlling consideration, upon which, so large a majority have ratified the action of the State Convention. They still have the sanction j anil approval of every true hearted Georgian. I Here then, the people of this State may and ought to unite, first to see, that Georgia “ take ho step backwards ,” and secondly, to enfore the strict observance, by the Federal Government, of the line of policy which the State has thus solemnly prescribed, as indispedsible to her continuance in the Union. [f these positions are well taken, what atti tude should Georgia assume, in order to give the greatest efficacy and moral weight to her action 1 Shall she stand alone or seek an ally, in the ap proaching Presidential election ? In the present emergency, as in all others, isolation is impotency. Single handed, she can neither control nor direct the great tide of popular sentiment or federal policy. 1 To whom then shall she look for an alliance 1 In some quarters, it may be urged that she should look alone to her sister States of the South ; and that standing aloof from an association with any party at the North, they should unite in casting their vote upon a Southern candidate for the Pre sidency. Judging from the recent elections in the South, and the exhibitions of popular sentiment upon the national issues, which the Presidential election will necessarily present, such a union of the Southern States is scarcely possible. An unsuccessful attempt to secure it, would but re sult in that, with which we have been already too often mortified, the exposure of our weakness, while if successful, it would ultimately prove unavailing against the combined power of the North and West. j The union of the South, however, must always be a great desideratum which cannot be too high- I iy estimated. Whether for sectional action, or lor co-opetation with other pertionsof the Union, upon national questions, it is of the utmost im portance. Truly then, should we seek an alli a, IK<i with our sister States of the South. We should invoke harmony and encourage it by all proper means. But we should never look to an alliance with them alone, except in cases where safety and interest imperatively demands section al action. .Do existing circumstances present such a case. While submission or resistance to the Compromise was the issues before the South ern States, it was purely a sectional question, for them to determine for themselves, and furnished an instance in which they might properly act as a section. 3 But now this question has been definitively settled. All the Southern Stateß, like Georgia have determined to acquiesce in the adjustment -1 made by Congress. Therefore, there no longer Mexists any reason for combined sectional action Bby the Southern States. Their decision has con ■ Med the Compromise emphatically into ana- Being national, it is equally duty and interest of the Southern united, not o ■ Uoji r ; rju with all men in every part of . in order *•> give "ml fi- W mist tnereiore. an '■ si,.

Be Jt has been said, that the party to whom alone \ the South can look for an alliance, is the North j ern democratic party. We too are democrats.— If they will be true to us upon the issues above „ designated, we ran well trust them on all other ’ questions of Federal policy. The very name of e Democracy awakens a thousand pleasant memo ries. It reminds us of may a glorious victory, achieved for the good of our wide republic. It f calls up the cherished names of Monroe and Madison, Jeirerson and Jackson, I’olk and Cal huuri, Buchanan and Dallas, Stockton and Uut- I' ler and a host of illustrious men who have but , tied in the cause of republicanism. It is synon : ymous with all that is glorious in the career of ] the past, all that is gratifying in the prosperity of the present, and all that is hopeful in the events 'j of the future. The history ol our republic is the ! history of the great democratic party of the Uni- I ted States. The principles of democracy are the | principles of our constitution; and it is upon them I alone that this government can ever be success i fully administered. Whenever they have been in the ascendant—exhibiting their efficacy in a I strict construction, restraining the Federal Legis- I lature within its proper sphere of delegated au thority, in recognizing and respecting the re- I served sovereignty of the Slates—we have been j happy, fraternal and prosperous. But when not iin the ascendant,or when obstructed in their legi j timatc operation, the fruits have been unequal I taxation, odious protection;to favored classes, de j ranged or bloated currency, popular dissatisfac j tion and sectional strife. If then, the northern democracy will stand with us upon the position which Georgia has taken,we can not only unite with them cheerfully, in the approaching Presi dential election, but our common democratic sympathies, will render it a union of friendship and brotherhood. It is not to be forgotten, in this connexion, that the diversity of opinion, in relation to the Com promise, has led to the formation of two parties, under different names from those, by which the j old parties, into which the State was formerly | divided, were known. The Southern Rights 9 | party is composed almost exclusively of demo -9 j crats, ami the Constitutional Union party of a j- combination of a portion of Democrats, with I the almost entire mass of Whigs. But the qties ! tion which produced these new organizations |- hiving been definitely and finally settled, it , I would seem, that neither patriotism nor sound ! pollicy, demands their longer continuance. Why l then, should not the whole people ot Georgia, , at this crisis, when harmony ami unanimity are ; so important, unite as one man, in sending dsle , j gates to the Baltimore Convention, to co-operate ] with that body in such action, as will guarantee |- future security against aggression and agitation, i and the nomination of candidates, who shall not ! only be true republicans, hut also sound upon j the slavery question in all its aspects? So grave ( , and momentous is this consideration, that it is | earnestly hoped, that no step will be taken by , I any party in the State, which will prevent a | | consummation so devoutly to be desired. This object may be easily accomplished, Jif produnce ! and patriotism shall control tie spirit ot faction, j To attain it, is there any sacrifice too great to be made? Or however great the sacrifice, where is the man or the party of men, who will be un | willing to make the offering upon their country's altar? Iu all the ranks of the Southern Rights ; party, it is believed that there is not a single man whose patriotism is not equal to the duty, j The resolutions adopted by the Gubernatorial ! Convention of that party fully embodied the ! Republican principles of 1798 and 1799; and the | unanimity and zeal, with which they w r ere ad vocated in tiie late campaign, furnished an ample guaranty, that every man will rally to them with enthusiasm, even though they should be in scribed upon a Democratic banner. Nor ought it to be doubted, that the Union democrat*, true to theii long cherished republican instincts, true ! to the best interests of the State, and true to | themselves, will return to the serried ranks of j their old brethren and allies, fiom whom a tem j porary question has temporarily separated them, as soon as they shall see their time-honored|fiag again unfurled to the breeze. And what may jwe not expect of the Union Whigs? Their , ' leader has already announced, that the Northern j | Whig party is denationalized and sectionalized, I | and that the South can expect nothing at their , 1 hands. These too, must fall into ranks, if for , no other reason, than that they will have no | , where else to go. > i The whole State should therefore be represen : | ted, in the Baltimore Convention, if it may be —the Democratic party must be. But while i ; we march forward boldly and firmly to the ac complishment of our patriotic policy, let us do nothing to widen the chasm which divides the ! people of Georgia, nothing calculated to sow the , seeds of bitterness and strife. Let us pour oil upon the agitated waters. Let patriotism si j lence the voice of faction. Let us so act, that if : Georgia shall not be represented as a unit in tiie ; Baltimore Convention, it that! not bt our fault. \ The adoption of the following resolutions is therefore recommended as expressive of the views of this meeting: Resolved , That, the question of submission to the Compromise is settled in this State; and it is the duty of the people, for the future, to unite as one man, in the inflexible determination to maintain, to the letter, the position which Geor gia has takea against all tuture aggressions by Congress upon the institution of slavery. Resolved\ That, in view’ of the indications given by the Northen Democracy, to consider the slavery question as finally settled by the Com promise, to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law and | to oppose its repeal or material modification, : Georgia should be represented in the Baltimore j Convention, to co-operate in such action by that ! body and the nomination of such Candidates for I the Presidency and Vice Presidency, as will give | vitality and efficacy to the Compromise, secure safety to the South and harmony to the Confed- | eracy. Resolved, That we recommend the Democratic party to hold a Convention at Milledgeville, at as early a day as may be convenient arid expe- ] dient, to appoint delegates to the Baltimore Con- j vention, and that a committee of nine be appoin- I ted by the President of this meeting, to confer 1 with the friends of this policy in every part of . the State, to designate and publicly announce the j day for the assembling of such Convention. On motion of Mr Tift, of Baker, the Report and Resolutions were unanimously adopted. Gen. Hugh A. Haralson being called for, respon ded in his usual eloquent and effective style. Judge Colquit, upon a call made for him, replied in sucha manner as only Judge Colquit can reply. His masterly effort was greeted with fre quent and rapturous applause, and was a trium phant vindication of the time honored principles of Democracy and of his own political course. The following gentlemen were appointed the committee required by the last of the foregoing resolutions, to-wit: Bibb —R. A. L. Atkinson, S. T. Bailey, Baldwin —D. C. Campbell, B. S. Jordan. Richmond —Jas. Gardner, Jr. Cobb —C. J. McDonald. Cherokee —Joseph E. Brown. Chatham —Thos. Purse. Lee —L. B. Mercer. The meeting then adjourned, sine die. JOSEPH DAY, Ch’n. ArtherE.

IX7" Proprietors of Warehouses in this city and Hamburg,will much oblige us by having the stock of cotton in their respective Warehouses carefully counted for us to-morrow morning. Democratic Meeting at Milledgeville. It is with the greatest pleasure we insert in our columns, this morning, the proceedings of the Democratic meeting, held at the Capitol, on the 25th instant. The great leading features of this action, is the desire for harmony and union in Georgia, for the protection of Southern rights and the preservation of the Union. We do not propose to follow the reasonings of the Report, or to discuss, at length, the wisdom of the resolutions. They commend themselves to the consideration and support of the people of Georgia. There is no question, that the people of the South have decided, in the most unequiv ocal manner, to accept the Compromise, aad we feel bound to submit, as Georgians, to the deci sion of our State, and accept the Compromise as a permanent and final settlement, of the slavery question, so far as relates to California and the present territorial possessions of the United States. We are particularly pleased with the last clause of the Preamble, to which we invite the particular attention of our readers. We will lie most happy to aid in effecting the great objects therein suggested. We are ready and willing to fall into that line, of safe and patriotic policy, by which nothing shall be done “to widen the chasm which divides the people of Georgia, nothing to sow the seeds of bitter ness and strife.’’ We say, in the language of the Report— 11 Let us pour oil upon the agitated waters. Let patri otism silence the voice of faction. Let us 60 act, that if Georgia shall not be represented as a unitin the Baltimore Convention, it shall not be our fault.” If we have felt that thero were “ Troublous storms that tossed The privato State and rondorod life unsweet,” let us make the effort to find, in harmony and union, “ The talisman, tho charm, the potent plodgo, Os safoty and success.” What, then, say the people of Georgia, to the honorable, the prudent, the wise and conciliatory propositions of the meeting in question ? To some of our people, we know, the sun has seem ed to set behind ominous clouds, but does not the proposition, and, we would fain hope, the prospect of harmony, point us to a cheering ray of light, to guide and direct our footsteps ? That light may open into a beautilul and expansive day. If the tainted atmosphere of the North can he purified, it is to the Democrats we have now to look, and such Whigs as may be allured t» their ranks, by public virtue and national patriotism, to effect it. Who would not rejoice at its accomplishment? Will not the Union Democrats unite in the policy suggested by the meeting at the Capitol ? Will not Union Whigs yield the mere absurdities of prejudice, and also aid in effecting its consummation ? Thousands of them, we trust, will come up to this great work, and those who wilt not, must take their position as factionists, unwilling to sustain a work carved out in the spirit of true liberty, peace, and devotion to the Constitution and the Union. It makes the heart of the true patriot throb with delight, to see a new hope benignly rise to view, for his country—not one section, but the whole—and, in that light, we behold the action of the meeting at the seat of Government. The Water Works. Much has been said within the past two or three days of the great improvements made by our City Fathers in supplying the City with water in the case of fire. Our Insurance offices can now afford to reduce their rates fully one half, for there is comparatively no danger—our En gine Companies can disband, for there is no fur ther need for them—our citizens, when they hear the alarm bell ring, will only have to feel the walls of their rooms, and if cold, again return ■ to bed and repose in safety, for such is the amount of water now provided, in addition to the existing fire cisterns, that it is almost impossible for an other fire to make headway in our city. Only j think of it, we have a city only two miles long ; and one broad, which is divided into four wards j —and each ward is to be supplied with three hogsheads of[ Water ! ! That this great undertaking may be accom plished without delay, we would call the atten tion of our City Fathers to an advertisement of Messrs Haviland, Risley & Co. who offer for sale a lot of empty Oil Casks, which as good citizens, having the welfare of the city at heart, they will no doubt sell cheap. We would advise the com mittee, however, not to be hasty in making their ; purchases, as there are several others anxious to supply the present demand for water casksi among the number, we would mention Mr. A. Lafitte, auctioneer, who also advertises a stock i on haud for sale. Dont, be in a hurry, gentlemen, for If water has risen, Water Casks iso- Southern Shoes. It will be seen by advertisement, that Mr. A. Lafitte has been appointed agent in this city I for the sale of shoes manufactured by Messrs. ! Carew & Hopkins, of Charleston. This is a I branch of business that should be encouraged by our Merchants and Planters, and we hope to j see the agency in this city well patronized by I them. ITP" We wonld call attention to the package sale of Glassware, hy T. M. Cater, to take place in Charleston, on Wednesday next. Fire at Dalton. Passengers arrived yesterday, report that a destructive fire broke out in Dalton on Thursday night, on the main business street. We could learn no further particulars. New Works. We have received from Messrs. Thos, Richards & Son, the following new works, which they have for sale. Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Thomas Chalmers, D. D , L. L. D., by his son-in-law, the Rev. William Hanna, L. L. D. in three vols.— vol 111. Moby Dick, or the Whale, by Herman Mel ville, author of Typee, Omo, &c. Spiritual Regeneration, with reference to Pre sent Times, a charge delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Ohio, at the thirty fourth Conven tion of the same, at Cleveland, in Oct. 1851. Part 15—London Labor and the London Poor, by Henry Mayhew. The above works are from the press of Messrs- Harpers & Brothers, New York. We have also received from Messrs. Geo. A Oates ft Co., a copy of the Address delivered by the’Hon. George R. Gilmer, before the Society of Almuni,of Athens College. Destructive fire in Nashville. —On the morning ofthe 25th, a fire broke out in the Grocery store of Mr.Bertraud,on Collcge-gtwhich communicated with Mr. Noel's Rev. A. L. P. , Green's, each of which were’eonsumed. Sever al other houses in the vicinity were damaged, and others in great danger of destruction. Total loss by the fire is from S3O to 10,000. Later from Buenos Ayres. —By the arrival at Southampton, of the steamer Severn, advices had been received from Buenos Ayres to Octo ber 4th, Montevideo to the 6th, and Rio Janeiro to the 15th. The Brazilian troops had marched into Monte video, to assist the Montevidians. Oribe, it was said, was hemmed in between Montevideo and the troops of Urquiza, and at the last dates, was arranging terms for surrendering, and which it was supposed would be accomplished by himself and stall'receiving passports for Buenos Ayres, and his troops to be made prisoners. Oribe wished passports for all, but this was refused. It was reported that Oribe had escaped on board the ship Swede, and that his troops had been taken prisoners. The brig L. Baldwin, mentioned yesterday as having gone ashore on the 21st inst, on the South Point of Brigantine shoal, was from Charleston not Savannah, as erroneously stated. She sailed 1 hence on the 15th inst. We learn likewise that she was insured partly in Charleston as well as in ■ Wall-street, New-York. PIULOMATUEA Lodge, No. 25,1 October 27th. A. L. 5801. I A called meeting of the Lodge was held this evening, on the occasion of the death ot our bro- I ther William U. Bowen. Having learned with feelings of sincere sor row of the death ol our devoted and worthy brother, Willi am U. Bowen, we delay not to pay to his memory that tribute of respect so deser vedly and justly due. In the demise of our brother Bowf.n, Masonry has lost one of her purest members, strictest ad herents and firmest and most examplary devotees. He was truly a Mason according to the original design and beauty of the order—his was Mason ry of the heart—he gloried in the Masonry of the Bible. And we can all well remember with profit his apt illustrations and applications of the sacred word to the designs of our order. But the Scythe of Time, which spares neither the wise nor the good, has cut him off, in the language so familiar to the deceased as a Mason : “The silver cord has been loosed, and the golden bowl broken at the fountain, the dust returns to the earth as it w’as, and the spirit has returned to God who gave it.” The great architect of the universe has ap pointed his bounds and he could not pass. Let us profit by his example a id imitate his virtues, squaring our actions by the true principles of our order, that after passing gracefully after our bro ther down the level of time, our minds may be fitted as living stores for that house not made with hands, where all true Masons hope at last to arrive. Therefore 1 Resolved, That we deeply deplore the death of our worthy brother William U. Bowen, one of the founders of Philamotha Lodge, and regard the event not only as a bereavement to our Lodge, but a loss to Masonry and the community in which he lived. Resolved, That we sincerely condole with our esteemed and worthy brother William B. Bowen 1 on the melancholy event. 1 Resolved, That as a token of respect for the , memory of our deceased brother, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That this Lodge will attend on to morrow to pay the last Masonic funeral rites to the remains of our deceased brother. Resolved, That this memorial be entered a | mong the proceedings of the Lodge, and a copy transmitted to the brother, William B. Bowen. A true extract from the minutes. MOSES E. MILLS, See’y. The German Settlements in Texas. —A pa ! per, published in Western Texas, speaking of the German settlements on Spring Creek, Spring Branch, at New Braunfels and Fredericksburg, and in the counties of Austin, Colorado and Fay ! ette, says universal evidences of thrift prevail. Fine samplns of cotton unsurpassed by and are brought to market from several of their settle ; ments. The Spring Creek settlement is produc ing as good cotton as the State affords, and the | industrious Germans of that neighborhood are entitled to the credit of establishing the reputa : turn of Spring Creek lands for the production of as ample a crop and as fine a staple of cotton as j any other uplands in the State. The New York Calamity. —The evidence before the coroner’s jury, to investigate the cir cumstances attending the late accident at the Greenwich street school, is published in the New York papers, but no new facts have come to light yet Miss Harrison, the teacher, whose sudden ill ness caused the alarm, testified, and her account of the origin of the alarm is substantially what we have given. The cry for water, raised by some of the girls of her class, to revive her, caus ed the supposition that there was fire. She had | never remarked that the stairs were unsafe, and had never before an attack like this one. Slaves Escaped to the Bahama Islands. j The following is an extract from a letter re- ' ceived in this city, dated: “Miami, (E. F.) Nov. 12,1851. “On the 3rd inst., five negro fellows—two of them belonging to Mrs. A. Sabate of St. Augus tine, two to Col. W. F. English,and theother to Mr. L. Crawford—stole a sloop of nine tans, be longing to a Mr. G. W. Ferguson, and made their escape to the Bahama Islands. They had a fine moonlight night, and a fair westerly wind to fa vor the accomplishment of their purpose. One of English’s boys had been running the sloop for some time between this place and Key West, and had jnst arrived in the river that night.— It being too lute when she arrived, they did not land the supplies belonging to the settlers in this neighborhood, and therefore made the writer one among the sufferers by their booty.”—Savan nah Republican , 26 th inst. Serious Accident. —On Wednesday last, a bank of earth fell suddenly upon Mr. Stevens, an assistant engineer on the Augusta and Way nesboro' Railroad, while he was engaged in measurng the excavation. Mr. S. is seriously injured, having one of his hips crushed, besides many bruises.— lb. Quite Accommodating. {From the West Point ( Ga.) Advocate.] Mr. Editor: —Should there be any persons, who desire to be tied together in the blessed state of matrimony, we would cite them to our friend K. J. T. Little, esq., who holds forth at the Post Office. He so much of the business lately, that he has become proficient in the ceremony, and “does up things brown.”— Nothing deters him from attending to business of this character, especially, when the parties are “runaway.” He rises at the hour ol midnight when the weather is at freezing point, undaun ted by storms or rain, and flies with alacrity to perform the pleasing duty of uniting the loving couple with the silken bands of wedlock. He keeps constantly on hand a supply of blank Marriage Licenses, therefore, those who are dis posed to tie the knot in defiance of stubborn ta ttlers, scolding mama’s, or self-willed guardians, can be accommodated in the shortest time imag inable provided they bring a few extra Dimes, byway of keeping up appearances, not that he requires or expects it. CUPID. Schools in France. —The number of com munal schools in France, according to the French President’s message, has increased somewhat; it is now 34,930. The communal schools for girls amount to 10,542. There are 4,522 free schools for boys, and 11,378 for girls; altogether the pri mary schools have increased by 300. _ Kossuth and the Printers. —The Ncw- York Typographical Society has appointed a committee to wait upon Kossuth on his arrival, with a congratulatory address and an invitation to attend the Franklin Anniversary dinner of the Society, which takes place in January. U. S. Mounted Dracioons. —The Washing ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: A vigorous effort is now making by the War Department to reduce the expensesof the Quar ter-master's Department, which are enormous. The Secretary of War will undoubtedly recom mend the mounting of another regiment of Dra goons, and the establishment of another company of Light Artillery, (making with those now ex isting, four, or one tor each regiment of Artil lery) and yet it is believed that the estimates for the service of the year terminating the 30th of June, will be fifteen hundred thousand dollars less than those of last year. Kossuth and iiis Enemies. —lt is stated that agents of the Austrian despot are engaged in New York in the work of endeavoring, by the most insidious means, to poison the minds of the citi zens against the illustrious Kossuth, and to in duce them to believe that the great Magyar is not only one of the greatest humbugs that ever existed, but that he is a devil incarnate, devoid of the feelings of common humanity, cruel and despotic. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says: “To effect their object, the most infamous slanders and falsehoods are promulgated in a quiet way, concerning Kossuth, and such jour nals as are supposed to be hostile to him, are putin possession of these falsehoods, from whence they are issued to the world. In fact, the game play ed in Marseilles by the notorious attache, is being repeated here, but I am happy to say, with very indifferent success.” [Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier.] Washington, Nov. 28, 8,45 P. M. The President's Message has been sent to every city in the Union, to-day. to be published as soon as it has been delivered in Congress. A letter has just been received at the State Depart ment from Ex-Consul Owen, stating that the Captain General of Cuba, may reverse the pro ceedings or remit the sentence. The Southern Union men, stipulate in their caucusses that they will require pledges from all candidates for office that they will support the fugitive slave law. Columbia, Nov. 28, 4.37 P. M. Legislative Proceedings. On motion of Mr. B. F. Perry, of Greenville, the bill giving the election of Electors of the President and Vice President of the United States to the people, was referred to a Committee of the whole House, and made the special order of the day tor Tuesday next. Considerable dis cussion ensued on the motion, evincing indica tions that a hot debate will take place when the bill comes up.

Treason Trials. —The Circuit Court met again this morning at 10 o'clock to proceed with the trial of Castner Hanaway, indicted for treason. The Court-room, as heretofore, was densely crowded, but the utmost decorum prevailed.— The prisonor, who is a young man of about 35 years, of tall and slim person, displays much self possession. Six more jurors were sworn this morning, ma kiug eleven in all. The following is a list of their names— Robert Elliot, Thomas Connelly, James Wilson, Peter Martin, Robert Smith, Jno! Janken, James W. Hopkins, Ephraim Fenton, Solomon Newmon, and Jonathan Wainwright. The twelfth juror was chosen, but was not sworn, betause the jury could not separate if all were sworn. To-morrow being Thanksgiving day, the Judge adjourned the Court till Friday morning. Schenectady, Nov. 24,1851. —This afternoon, about 4J o'clock, the gasometer of the Schenec tady gas works exploded, and seriously, if not fatally, wounded Patrick Donelly. Mr. John Eaton, superintendent of the works, and a laborer, were also somewhat injured. Owing to some leaks in the gasometer, the bonnet was taken off early in the morning, for the purpose of allowing the gas to escape, so that they could enter and paint the inside. The laborers, while Mr. Eaton was absent, and contrary to his express and of ten repeated orders, took a lighted candle and were lowering it into the gasometer, when it exploded, blowing it and the brick building erect ed over it to atons, and throwing the men and ! rubbish in every direction. Providentially yr Eaton had just entered the door of the °as-hoii U having been on business in this city, and theu' : fore escaped with slight injury. Later from Havana.—We learn by the ai I rival of the brig Gulnare, Captain Philips, attr I port, yesterday, from Havana, that a report w u 1 current, at her departure, to the effect that jj John S. Thrasher would be pardoned by the Ca tain General, on condition he leave the islanV and that twenty days would be allowed ): to arrange his affairs.
