LAST WISHES OF A CHILD. The following beautiful little poem was writteu by James T. Fields, for tbe Boston Book for 1850. It is taken from the proof— heets by a correspon dent ot the New York Literary World : “ All the hedges are in bloom, And the warm west wind is blowing;— Let me leave this .stifled room. Let me go where flowers arc growing ! •• Look! my cheek is thiu end pale, . And ray pulse is very low, Ere my sigh' begins to fail, jgi Mother, dear, you’ll let me got *' Was not that the robin's song Piping through the casement wide ? I shall rot be listening long. Take me to the meadow side '• Bear me to the willow brook— Let me hear the merry mill— On the orchard I must look, Ere my beating heart is still. " P aint and fainter grows my breath— Bear me quickly down the laue ! Mother, dear, this chill of death— I shall never speak again ! " Still the hedges are in bloom, And the warm west wind is blowing ; Still we sit in silent gloom— O’er her grave the grass is growing JOTLV ALCOHOL, MY JOE.

There was no change in the Cotton market ; yesterday. There was a fair demand, and the sales reached 900 bales, taken for France and the North. Middling 9fc to middling : fairlOf to 11. The Canada’s news reached 1 us last evening. The steam ship Ohio sailed for New York last evening. The Falcon, from Chagres, ar rived this morning, and the Telegraph at noon yesterday. The agent went in the Ohio to meet the Falcon, for the purpose of transfer ring the mail and passengers for New York to the Ohio. The Falcon has 59 passengers for New York, so look out for news by her. The health of the city is excellent. The citizens are returning in. great numbers. Bus tle and business daily increasing. From Yucatan. —By the arrival, yesterday, of the schooner Two Brothers, Capt. Gutier rez, from Sisal, the 18th ult, w'e have Merida papers up to the I4th ult. The Two Broth ers brought $52j6 in specie. On the 9th ult., the Indians attacked the whites at Valladolid about 4 o’clock in the morning. The commander of the division seeing that the chief attack of the savages was on’V e roa d f ronl Chemax, directed a piece of I artillery to that point, and while pointing it, i was seriously wounded by a gun-shot. After a fight of two hours the Indians were driven | back and dispersed. The Indians still remain in the neighbor ■ hood of Bacalar. They have foimed a line of fortification, 800 or 1000 yards from the line lof the whites. Some of the Indians that have i been taken prisoners, report a disagreement between the chiefs. The whites seem to rely on this as a chance for obtaining peace. Sev eral skirmishes had taken place in the neigh borhood of Ichmul; but none worthy of no tice even in a Yucatan despatch. The Bole tin Official continues to say that the great want of the country is peace; yet it never seems to i notice that the war is continued simply be -1 cause the whites are not sufficiently vigorous in the prosecution of it. — N. G. Crescent , Isf inst. More Mystery. —The Mobile Herald yes terday contains the following alarming inti- I mation: What's in the Wind r—The Grand Scribe of the ‘Ousel Owls’ arrived here yesterday in the Oregon, and in less than three hours after he { chartered a sailing vessel, and was under way ; for parts unknown in the Gulf of Mexico. Will any one enlighten us as to the objects of his intention ? How is Cuba ? What is going on in the Sierra Madrer Will no body en lighten us ?” ° Why does not Andrew Jackson Hodge, the j Mobile Governor and Potentate, issue a proc- j lamation. There may be another invasion, or an abduction at least, on The Grand j , Scribe ought to be watched. Where is Com- j Grander Randolph r What is Lieut. Totten ' j about? Blow the horn! There is another very remarkable and mys- | terious fact. A vessel sailed from this port, avowedly for Mobile—was not heard of for several weeks—and when she got in at last, it i was ascertained that she had been to Cuba. Blown off in a storm, they said—obliged to scud and get into port—but who believes it ? The Committee of Safety are getting lazy. The Grand Scribe travels to and fro a little too freely —pretends to go on sailing parties — is strangely fond of regattas, and positively goes out in an incomprehensible way, as he says, fishing. Something certainly ought to be'done to put a * to P to such dangerous pro ceedings. — Ib< (TtUg■j.jj'ieu for the BaLtimo.e Sun.) ARRIVAL OP TH£3 CANADA. Sevea Days Later From Europe. ENGLAND AM D IRELAND. HUNGARIAN AFFAIRS. CO MORN STILL HOLDING OUT TURKEY OPPOSING RUSSIA. Sultan Refused to Surrender Hungarian Prisoners. CHOLERA IN EUROPE. Condition of the Markets, &c. At a iate hour last night the following dis pAeh reached us from our correspondent at St. John's, furnishing us seven days later in telligence from Europe: St. John’s, N. B. Oct. 3. The lioyal Mail steamer Canada arrived at Halifax at a quarter past nine o’clock, yester day morning, and her news reached here to day, by overland express. The Canada made her passage in less than ten days. The commercial news, upon the whole, ex hibits no special change or movement. The produce market has been fairly sup plied, but the demand for most articles was inactive. The cotton trade had become rather languid, at fair prices. Tne money market continued abundantly supplied, and bills selling at 2-i per ct. pre mium. The political news presents no new feature of special moment. There was considerable firmness in bread stuffs, and higher prices had been paid. A moderate business doing in cured provisions at steadv prices. ' ENGLAND AND IRELAND. The weather has been very hot in England, but not materially effecting tne crops. The late downward tendency in the corn market has been checked, and a slight ad vance has taken place, caused by the unfavora ble reports relative to the potatoe rot. The hop picking in England has been very disas trous. A great effort has been made by the growers to procure relief from government. A favorable change has taken place„in the mortality from cholera throughout England. The new cases occurring have declined one half. Since the commencement of the disease 13,000 person* have been aweptgfrom London. The potato disease is, beyond doubt, ex tending into several districts of Ireland, though it has not, by any means, become general. FRANCE. A good deal of attention is directed to the Metropolitan Council of the Clergy, which has commenced its sittings at Paris. Almost all the Bishops and distinguished clergy of France arc assisting at the Grand Council. The Cholera appears to have permanently diminished in Paris. The conspirators of June, 1849, are to be tried at Versailles. HUNGARY. Comorn, though besieged, still holds out and can defy its besiegers one entire year. The influence ot Russia and Austria is be ing exerted to compel the Porte to surrender the Hungarian chiefs, who have taken refuge in Turkey. Letters from Constantinople state that this has been positively refused. ITALY. The Pope has quilted Gaeta, and proceed ed to Naples, liis reception was of the most striking and popular character. He will not go to Rome for the present. SPAIN. The cholera was still committing serious ra vages at Trieste. The newly appointed Ministers were assemb ling at Madrid, but no notice seems to be ta- I ken of events relative to Cuba. GERMANY. The papers received this morning announce the unexpected resignation of the Dutch Min istry en masse. After deliberation the King accepted their resignations, and gave instruc tion i for the formation of a new Cabinet. The circn which led to this result have not transoired. TURKEY. All honor is proclaimed to Abdel Mesiple and to the Turkish Ministry. They have nobly done their duty and refused to become pandorers to tne vindictive and bloody mea sures of Joseph and Nicholas. The Russian Am’'’ssador nt the Port demanded a surren der of the Hungarian officers, Kossuth, Ucm binski, Perezd. Mesmerosses and their com | panions. i The Russian General had arrived at Con | stantinople. His mission being to bully the Sultan into a compliance with the demand of Austria. A council of the Turkish govern- I raent was immediately held, and they unani i mously resolved rot to surrender the Hunga i rian refugees to either the Russian or Austrian ; Governments. On this decision being communicated to the I Sultan, he declared in the most impressive and determined manner, that the refugees j should not be given up let the consequences [be what they might. We trust that Lord ; Palmerston will do his duty as nobly as the j Sultan has done his —that Russia and Austria v. ’1 be given to understand that w r ar with Turkey with such a cause, means war with j England. We are rejoiced to find that Kossuth and ! his companions are furnished with passports ‘ from the English Ambassador, and trust that every assistance to their support will be ren dered by England. The independence of Turkey should be secured against the attacks of Russia and its vassal. Austria. HUNGARY. Tho latest intelligence received by the Lon don Sun, says that Peterwardan surrendered to the Imperial troops on the oth ult. The Magyars decided to still hold out, but the majority overruled them. The garrison of Comorn is well provisioned, with 30,000 men in a state of complete discip line. The officers held a meeting, and resolv ed, by a large majority, not to surrender. According to the Vienna journals, 80,000 men are to besiege Comorn. Tho bombard ment was to commence on the 13th, when the Austrians occupied a great part of the island, but without resistance. A part of the Hun garians arc strongly entrenched before the fortress, and it v. as expected would give the Austrians battle. It was rumored at Viena that Gen. Bern had j fallen into the hands of the Russians. Since 1 tho Isth a number of rebel Hungarian officers ’ had been put to death at Arad and Temesvar. MOROCCO. Intelligence w s daily expected from Mo -1 roco, where the Spanish and French Generals seemed likely to produce something more than ! a mer 0 demonstration. The Moors were ex ' pccted to make an attack on Masilla, having already cut oil supplies. -MARKETS. Liverpool Cotton Market.— The demand for cotton was lather quiet at the close. The sales ol the week amount only to 23,000 bales. : Ihe committee quote the same figures given at the*sailiog of the previous steamer. Prices, it is thought, are not likely to advance further unless encouraging accounts should be received from India. BkXAOSTUFFS. —Best Western Canal Flour was selling at 19 to 23 shilling* perbbl.

Inferior sorts Bacon sell with more activity, but in other de scriptions the transactions have been unimportant. The market generally has a dull aspect for provi -ions. Both Hams and Shoulders selling at form er quotations, viz : 27s to 42s per qr. for the latter, and 19s a 22s for the former. Lard was in better inquiry ; prices stationary at 38s 6d to42s per cwt., ! owing to quality, and 26s a 29s for inferior. Iron j remains without alteration. THE CONSTITUFIONALIS i Augusta, (Georgia. SUNDAY MORNING. OCT. 7. The Union of the New York Democracy The only dissatisfaction that tho union ol the Hunkers and Barnburners has caused, is among the whigs and the abolitionists. We cannot conceive of a higher recommendation than this. It is in vain that the whig press of the North seek to revive hostility and re new strife between these two sections of the democracy of the Empire State. Their jeers and taunts are laughed at by the democrats, as tho impotent ebullitions of rage, disap pointment and alarm, at this formidable re union. It is a death knell, not only to whig gery in New York, but to its hopes of another triumph in a National election. But for that ill-starred quarrel, Lewis Cass, and not Zach ary Taylor, would now be President. Here after, the broad banner of the Old Democracy, will rally all its legions beneath its broad folds, on which are inscribed the great funda mental principles of the party which have so often triumphed in our country, and been so long and gloriously illustrated in the conduct of our national affairs. The slavery question is to be forever discar ded, as a test question. The democrats of New York have agreed to disagree, each one being allowed to entertain his individual opin ions, without let or hindrance. It is true, that the Union Convention adop ted a resolution declaring opinions on the slavery question, unpalatable to the South, and such as the South will never subscribe to. They are objectionable to most of the South ern whigs, and all of the Southern democrats. But it is also true, that it recognized the fact, that there are Northern democrats who hold opinions differing with those declared by the Convention, and coinciding with those enter tained at the South. That resolution is as follows : “ That Congress has the constitutional pow er over slavery in the District of Columbia, and has no power over the subject in the States. That it possesses, in our opinion, fu! 1 power over the subject in the Territories of the United States, and should exert that pow er on all occasions of attempts to introduce it there; but as the constitutional power is questioned, we are willing to tolerate the free exercise of individual opinion upon that ques tion, among members of the democratic: tami ly who are willing to rally under one stand - ard, and support the ticket nominated by the recent State Conventions.” No Northern whig or abolitionist differs from the opinion here declared. They are all free soilers, and stand np zealously for the ex clusion of slavery from the new territories.— They make no objeefion to the doctrine above declared. It is good enough whig doctrine to suit them. But the great feature of this Union of the Hunkers and the Barnburners, is that it recognizes the fact that there are dem ocrats in the ranks of the New York democra cy, who are with the South on this great con stitutional question. It also declares that there shall be perfect toleration and freedom of opinion among democrats on this question. It declares that the slavery question shall be no test of orthodoxy in the democratic church, and that those members who are with the South, and have stood by her, and voted with her in opposition to the whole combined phalanx of Northern Whiggery, Abolitionism and Baruburnerism, are not to be disturbed in* the full and free exercise of those opinions, or to lose standing or fellowship thereby. This is something tangible, and reliable.— Something which looks like giving Southern rights a foothold, and an advocacy on North ern soil—something which promises to secure the recognition, by the great democratic party of the Union, of the doctrine of non-interven tion. This will be an almost necessary result ol the spirit of toleration thus manifested.— All the South asks, is that Congress shall hold its hands off from these territories on this del icate subject. She will not be left to struggle alone for this doctrine, and time will show the re-united democracy of New York, that party unity, harmony and success, can alone be se cured by it. But be this as it may, we can point with pleasure to the fact, that to be with the South on the slavery question, is expressly tolerated in the ranks of the New York democracy. It is to be no political otfen.ee to the party, that a New York democrat is with us, and acts with us. However he may be denounced and taunted, and abused by the Northern whigs, as a doughface and a tool of Southern slavehold ing tyrants, he will still be held in the bonds of political fellowship and sympathy by his brother democrats. If a member of Congress from New York votes with the South, as he may heretofore have done, he is not to be os tracised or lose position thereby. Mutual for bearance and toleration animate the spirit of this Union. The slavery question is to be let alone, and forever excluded from their party discussions. The whig papers at the North may contend, to their heart’s content, that the free soil democrats have been conquered by the non intervention democrats. The whig papers at the South may proclaim that the Hunkers have surrendered to the free soilers. They equally aim at political capital, and desire to influence sectional prejudices. But it will not avail them. The democratic party have al ways desired to control this question in tho spirit of compromise. If the whig party and the abolitionists of the North had not been so bitterly hostile to slavery, as to oppose with a bitterness as unanimous as it is intense, tb e extension ot the Missouri Compromise line, and insisted on the Wilmot Proviso, thereby arousing the fiercest sectional prejudices ot lire J Northern people, the democratic party might : have united the country in favor of that ex tension. This result has been steadily, perse- | veringly defeated by the Northern whigs, and , abolitionists. They have obstmately kept the j country in a constant turmoil and the bitter waters of sectional strife stirred up from their utmost depths. If this vexed question is ever amibably settled between the North and the South, it will be accomplished by the pru dence and the patriotism of the great demo cratic party of the union. Interfcringr in Elections- In one of General Taylor's electioneering letters, written during the canvass, he used the following language : “/ shall consider any officer under the govern - meat interfering in elections to hi a Just cause oj removal,” Will General Taylor stand up to the pledge here plainly given to the country. The op i portunity for him to do so is furnished by the Columbus Times of last Tuesday, in the fol lowing statement. , We witnessed a sample of refreshing politi cal consistency, in the election yesterday, which requires a passing notice. The late democratic Post Master of this city, was removed from office, it will be remember ed, for “interfering in elections at least, so the world had a right to infer, because that was one of the declared grounds for removals generally, and in this instance, w'e never heard of any specific charges referring to capicity or character. Yesterday the Post Office Department of this City was personally, actively, industri ously in the field, electioneering with might and main. The Post Master, Mr. Lee, and his 1 two principal clerks were “going it” with a , rush, not having the fear of Taylor principles . before their eyes, and instigated no doubt by the idea that what was good cause of political death in a locofoco office holder, would be ■ highly commendable in a whig official. Now j f what is “sauce for the goose, is sauce for the I gander,” and we call on Mr. Collarner to stick to his creed and hold his officials to the same , ‘ rule that he cuts off other people’s heads by ; or confess that his rule is a one-sided one, hy- t pocritical in its spirit and practice. , There are numerous other causes of the same sort, furnished by the papers in States where , elections are pending or have recently taken , place. Will the pledge of the no-party, pro . scription hating President, on this point, be , redeemed r ; . But the elections which have taken place 3 show plainly the estimate in which the peo ple may hold the pledges made only to de- . i reive, and which have answered the only pur pose for which they were given.
