Sinking 1 of a ‘‘ Diving Ship*” An experiment of a new means of destroy ing ships of war which was prepared during the late Holstein difficulties terminated dis • astrously, and almost tragically, near Kiel, in Danish Holstein. The Boston Advertiser translates from the Illustrirte Zeitung, pub lished at Leipsic, the following account of the enterprise and its results: The machine was invented by an under of ficer in the Schleswig Holstein army, by the name of Bauer, and was intended to be used in blowing up the Danish ships which during the late war were operating against Schleswig Holstein. Having perfected his plan, Bauer laid it before the Government of Schleswig Holstein and asked for their aid in building But they not having faith in the practicability of the plan, he was compelled to turn for assistance to rich individuals, and succeeded in obtaining by subscription in the Schleswig Holstein army, a sufficient sum to enable him to undertake the building of his ship. In this way the vessel was built at Kiel.and completed in December of that year. This wonderful ship was 1 lunched in presence of a great number of spectators at the port of Stapel. In form it resembles a common yacht, except that it is much narrower. A tube is placed in the fore part of it, which is provided ! with very thick windows and a trap door, for the entrance and exit of the men necessary to work the ship ; the visible apparatus consists of a pump for lifting and sinking the ship, and a screw by which it is propelled. There are also in the fore part two gloves of gutta per cha, protected by which the director of the diving ship attaches the powder magazine to the vessel intended to be blown up. This is ignited from a distance by means of a galvan ic wire. The sides as well as the deck of the vessel are of iron. An exact discription of tne machinery cannot be given, as the inventor jfery naturally does not wish to make it pub lic. On the first trial the sides of the ship, as jwell as the pumps, proved quite too weak, a difficulty which was early discovered, but which was caused by the want of funds. The first trial was successful, however, as Bauer took care not to let his vessel sink to deep, being aware that at a depth of 30 feet his ship would inevitably be destroyed by the pressure of the water. The particular object of the inventor, the blowing up of the Danish ships of war, was prevented at that time, as their ship left the harbor on the approach of the frost. vuv tivnv* Oa the first of February last, Bauer made another trial, of his vessel, and this time he was not as fortunate even as before. He des cended, accompanied by two volunteers from the Schleswig Helstein Navy, at nine o’clock in the morning, under water, and did not ap pear again with his ship. After the boats which had accompanied him had waited a long time for the appearance of the ship, can non were fired, in the hope of causing it to raise. Its place was found after some search by dropping a lead, and the cries for help of the submerged men were heard from the depths of the water. All possible attempts were now made to lift the diving ship, but they proved vain. Strong iron chains and ca bles were sunk in the water, and, after long labor, some of them were actually made fast by Bauer, but the heavy ship could not be lifted upwards, and the multitudes from the city who had assembled in boats, considered the rescue of the three unfortunate men as im possible. What Bauer had dreaded had ta ken place. The pumps, when the vessel had reached the depth of thirty feet, worked bad ly, and it was foreseen that as it sank deeper they would be destroyed by the pressure of the water, or at least become useless. What was dreaded, was not long delayed—a crash followed, and the three submerged men look ed upon their fate as certain. This was the must fearful moment, according to Bauer's aceount, of the whole six hours which he and his companions spent under water. '“Fortunately the deck of the ship and the aide wal's remained uninjured, although an opening was made in the lower part, by which t the water slowly entered—a circumstance which saved the three men from certain death. The attempts to lift the ship by means of chains and cables were, as we have remarked, given up after long and vain exertions, and nothing remained to Bauer and his compan ions but their own efforts. The two strong est tried to open the upper trap door, but in vain; the pressure of the water was too strong to allow them to lift it as much as an inch, and there remained but one hope of salva tion, and this was also a severe trial of their patience. It was with difficulty that Bauer persuaded his companions to koep quiet and avoid all useless waste of their strength. He could not make them satisfied with his plan, which was to await quietly the rising of the Crater, till the pressure of the air caused by this rising would be strong enough to open the, trap door. With the greatest coolness Bauer wrapped hifnself in his cloak and re mained seated in the upper part of the ship, he might not be chilled by the cold wa ter. When the ship was so far filled with water that the three divers stood in it up to their necks, and it was almost impossible for them to breath the condensed air, Bauer gave strongest of his companions the signal to make an attempt to open the door. He was k able now to lift with ease, and was carried in same moment by the pressure of the air out of the opening and thrown upon the surface of the water. Bauer and his two com panions, who were almost faiting, naturally followed, and all three reached the surface of the water in safety, where they were imme diately received with loud hurras from the as sembled multitude, and taken into the boats. Breathing in the heavy air, and remaining in Ihe icy cold water had so exhausted them that the two companions of Bauer were obliged to be sent to the Hospital, but he needed but repose to be entirely recovered. i The heavy diving ship, which weighed se venty thousand pounds, still lies 40 feet deep in the water, and it is very doubtful whether it will ever be got up. The invention, how ever, may prove a valueble one, although the first trial has failed in consequence of the de fective construction of the ship. In building another ship, which Bauer is still disposed to undertake, he hopes to remedy these defects, and to be enable to prove that his invention will be found useful in carrying on naval war fare. The German paper from which the above narrative is taken contains an engraving of the Diving Ship at Kiel, before its submer sion. Augusta, (Seorjta. WEDNESNDAY MORNING, MAY 14- TYPE FOR SALE.

Democratic Southern Rights Conven tion. Wm, Cline, Hartford Green, Ezekiel Brown, and Thomas D. King, Esqs., are appointed Delegates to this Convention from Pike coun ty- Arrival of the Florida- A despatch from the Agents, dated Savan nah, Hay 13, 12.18 M., announces the arrival of the steam-packet IFlorida, in 65 hours from New-York. Small Pox- As absurdly exaggerated reports are in cir culation, at a distance, of the existence and extent of Small Pox in Augusta, we state that, for the last two months, there have been but three cases in the city—all negroes. One has died'—the other two are convalescent That Burke Delegation- It was announced in the Southern Rights Convention, at Charleston, last week, that a delegation from the Southern Rights Associa tion of Burke county, Ga., was in the city, and thereupon a resolution was passed invi ting the delegates to seats in the Convention. This proves to be a mistake. On inquiry, we learn that no such delegation was in attend ance in Charleston—no such delegation was appointed in Burke, and no meeting was held in Burke for the purpose. The Southern Rights Convention in Charles ton being a State affair simply, it would have been out of taste for any such delegation to have been sent to Charleston. Attractive Pleasure Trip. We invite attention to the Card announc ing a Pleasure Excursion down the river, of the fine steamer " Oregon.” We recommend all who have the time to spare to avail them selves of so pleasant a mode of spending the day. To the ladies and gentlemen now on a visit to our city, it offers a pleasant escape from heat and dust of our streets. The river scenery, though not very pictu resque is not without attractions. The Gal phin House, through which a cannon ball from the British Artillery passed, is still stand ing at Silver Bluff. They also pass New Sa vannah and the rich lands of Beech Island. Henry J. Raymond, Esq., of the New York Courier and Enquirer, and Speaker of the New York Senate, has dissolved his connec tion with the Courier, and goes to Europe. An article by Col. W ebb, in has paper on Monday, accounting for its tortuous course on the slavery subject, and attributing its free soilism to Mr. Raymond during the former’s absence, seemed to render the withdarwal 4ne cessary. There is considerable doubt expressed by some New York papers of the entire truthful ness of this statemeut. The Day Book quotes from the editorial col ume of the Courier, articles from the pen of Col. Webb, showing that he was about as deep in the abolition mud as Raymond, whom he would make a scape-goat of. Military Institute Troubles. —We learn (says the a note from one of the Cadets at the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va., dated on the 29th ult., that twenty-four members of the graduating class had been dismissed for a contempt of author ity on the 21st ult. They have applied to the board of visiters for reinstatement. A greater part of the class has been four years in the Institution. Bishop Capers. —We are pleased to learn (says the Republic of the 13th inst.) that this distinguished '.ivine is rapidly recovering from a severe attack of illness, which has confined him for the past two weeks at the residence of our fellow citizen, John H. Mann, Esq., His physician hopes that he will soon be able to resume his journey to Boonesville, to at tend the meeting of the St. Louis Conference. He was on his way to that point, when Uis journey was arrested by this unexpected at tack. Benefit of Adtertisin».-— The following instance of the advantage arising from a judi cious system of advertising is given by the Philadelphia Inquirer . Such instances are by no means rare: ** A member of a leading firm in South Third street, yesterday informed us that a few days since he commenced advertising by the year in the columns of the Inquirer. His first advertisement had been published only a few hours, when it attracted the attention of a stranger, who immediately called at his office, and after a conversation of a few min- Htes, made a purchase, on which oar friend realized a profit of el'-ven hundred dollars! 1 his is an undoubted fact, and it speaks vol umes as to the value of advertising." We learn (says the Savannah Republican,) that the Macon and Western Road will com mence promptly to run the new schedule of two passenger trains a day on the Ist July next. Gcorgi a Manufactory of Shoes and .Leather# Those who take an interest, and what true Southerner does not,in domestic manufactories will jfind specimens of Georgia made Shoes and Leather worthy of their inspection, at Phi nizy & Clayton s Warehouse. They are from the “ Watkinsville Leather Manufacturing Company," of Clarke county. They are of superior quality, and show that Georgia is learning to rid herself of dependence for such articles on abolition Massachusetts. We would call attention to the sale of Alabaster and Mosaic Ornaments, to take place this day, by A. Lafitte. Bishop Hughb3. —The Cincinnati Catholic Herald asserts positively that Bishop Hughes has been made a Cardinal. Some doubt ex isting. Newspaper Mail Clipper says: We learn that in the late con tract for mail bags, awarded by the Postmas ter General to M. William E. Hooper of this city, arrangements have been made for the manufacture of a lock-bag for the transmission of the newspaper mail, instead of the old fash ioned bag now in use, and which is only tied round the neck with a cord. At present, many drivers of country coaches, anxious to accom modate passengers or freight, think nothing of leaving behind several bags, filled with newspapers, as they are easily distinguished from the letter mail. But with the new lock bag it will be impossible to tell one from the other, and therefore they will be compelled to transport the whole load at once. This will not only be a matter of importance to publish ers, but to the whole body of newspaper rea ders. We notice in the New York papers (says the Charleston Mercury,) a correspondence between the Post Office Department and the proprietors of the steamships Georgia and Ohio, granting them permission to run their vessels direct to Havana, instead of stopping at Charleston and Savannah as heretofore. We do not know on what pretence of authori ty the Postmaster General annuls the provis ions of a law of Congress, which gave the people of the South facilities, however imper fect, of reaching the Pacific coast; but it is so much in accordance with the manner in which the Federal Government is accustomed to treat law and Constitution in our time, that we are not in the least surprised at it. » Elbert County. —William 13. Bowen, Dr. J. E. Turner, Elbert Rucker and Dr. B. J. Bell, have been appointed delegates from El bert county, to represent the Southern Rights party of Elbert in the convention to nominate a candidate for Governor. A Strange Steamer. —The Savannah News of the 12th inst. says: “ Capt. Brown, of the brig Almira, arrived on Saturday from New-Orleans, reports having spoke on Sun day the 4th inst., twenty miles to the east ward of Key We9t, a strange steamer, which he supposed to be in distress. He saw a large number of men on board. Toe steamer was standing before the wind, and had neither sttam nor sail on. Capt. B. run down to her, and asked if she was in distress, and if she needed any assistance. He received for an swer, that she did not wish any thing. When asked where she was bound, the reply was, that they did not know! She was painted a dark color, and had no flag up. She was not very large, and appeared to be foreign built. The men appeared to be French or Span iards.” The new Three Cent Piece was figured by us yesterday. In size it is between the gold dollar and five cent piece, is thinner than the latter, and the metal has the appearance of silver. On one side it is circled by the words “United States of America, 1851," with a single star filling the centre, and on whioh is the usual representation of the shield. On the reverse side is the circle of thirteen stars, with a large C enclosing 111. It is a very neat coin, and though careless persons might occasionally mistake it for a half dime, there will not be more difficulty in the matter than is often found in distinguishing the latter coin from the old Spanish sip. So says the Balti more Sun of the Bth inst. Jenny £>ind and Her Charities % Louisville vs. Cincinnati. — Prentince's Lasl and Best. —It is well known that Jenny Lind left Louisville without bestowing a single red oent in the way of charity, as has been her wont in other cities she has visited, while at Cincinnati she opened her purse wide enough to let out three thousand dollars to the poor and needy. It was thought singular, by some, that she should thus slight Louisville, but the Journal man lets both his city and the songstreess off in a manner laughable to a degree. He even finds matter of rejoicing in the fact that Jenny lSft Louisville without dispensing any of her gifts, while at the same time he dig* into the “ribs and aides” of the Cincinnatians with the sharpest kind of a skewer. Prentice “sticks out" in it all through —but hear what the wag says: We perceive that Jenny Lind made some very handsome donations to the poor people who live in Cincinnati. She went about that oity and her heart was so touched with the spectacle of human misery which is every where seen, that she took out her purse and handed over three thousand dollars to the cause of charity. That sum, however, is only a drop in the bucket to what is needed to make Cincinnati tolerably comfortable. She went about Louisville, and seeing everybody fat and well fed and happy,she put her purse iu her pocket. She saw no wrech edness and no indications of it here. We have no doubt that the contrast between the two cities struck her very forcibly. We believe that Louisville is the only city that the “divine Jenny" ever visited in which she did not find ARTICLES. Per.

She is right in believing that Louisville stands in no need of charity, as our people are the most comfortable in the world, eating more good food, wearing more good clothes, and living in far better houses than any other peo ple. Every body is struck with the difference between the apperance of the citizens of Louis ville and those of Cincinnati. The Cincin natians are known by thier lean and hungry looks, while Louisville people are known by their fat, round cheeks, well turned abdo mens, and happy expressions of the face. We understand that, on the average, two Louis ville people out-weigh three of those of Cin cinnati. The Madison (La.) Journal, of the 30th ult. says that the weather there was fine, but the want of rain was felt severely. A few good showers would very materially assist the growth of the cotton and corn. Trade With the British Provinces. —The N. Y. Journal of Commerce of the 9th inst. contains a circular from W. L. Hoge, acting Secretary of the Treasury, stating that mer chandise may hereafter be withdrawn from Warehouse, and exported to the adjoining British Provinces without the payment of du ties. The effect of which, the Journal says, will be to make New York the sea port of a large part of Canada, and to increase the busi ness of shipping, and the freight and tolls on the Canals. In Luck at Last. —One of the most extra ordinary instances of good fortune, which we 'have lately heard of, came to our knowledge yesterday. A young man, who was the bar keeper on board the ill-fated steamboat Web ster, destroyed a few days since by fire, not r *ly escaped from the almost imminent de struction that there surrounded him, but on arriving in the city found himself, much to his surprise,the unexpected owner of $12,000. His escape from the Webster was a miracle. He was utterly ignorant of the art of swim ming, but, between death by fire and death by drownihg, perferred the latter. He jumped overboardjfloated fortunately on a pile of drift wood; and was picked up at last with the clothes on his back.the only property he pos sessed in the world; at least he thought so at the time. A more agreeable surprise could scarcely be imagined than that which greeted him on his arrival in the city. When the Webster was last in this port, the barkeeper purchased a ticket in the Havana lottery. As we have before stated, the ricket dew a prize of $12,- 000, and the money was paid yesterday. This is indeed a remarkable example of the “ups and downs” of life. It is not to be conclud ed, however, that every steamboat bar-keeper who buys a lottery ticket will win a “pile,” or will float on a drift pile when in danger of drowning. Remember that, bar keepers! [N. O. Picayune, 7th inst. New York Money Market. —The Journal of Commerce of Friday evening says: Notwithstanding the croakings about the exports of specie, the supply of capital is abun dant, and as the demand falls off, owing to the bulk of the heavy payments having been already met, the rates are easier, and the mar ket is in favor of the borrower. Very choice endorsed paper at short date was passed to day at 5$ per cent, and good endorsed bills are scarce and wanted at 84 a 9 per cent. Foreign Exchange has been dull, but to day there is more demand for sterling and a few buyers having remittances to make, have beer compelled to give 104 a 10§. The whole amount remitted by the Pacific, however, will not be very large. Considerable anxiety is felt in regard to the future course of Foreign Ex change, and the indications of the market are carefully watched. Many suppose that the rates will keep up to the specie standard throughout the sum mer, but this seems hard.y probable. The premium for silver is now so high, that it can not be profitably shipped, and it will require a future advance in sterling bills to leave a margin for exports of gold to any who has not a house established cn the other side.— For some time our gold coin (which will not, asjmost of our readers know, circulate at all in Great Britain,) has been sent over to Franee, where a partial currency was obtain ed, but this channel is full, and the English banks now refuse to receive it except at an al lowance of £ per cent, for assaying and re coining. Already considerable amounts in bills have been remitted from the South to Europe for collection, to be drawn against du ring the summer, the unusual surplus of capi tal among planters and wealthy men,enabling them to spare funds for this purpose. The greatest immediate relief to this market,would follow a large shipment of breadstuffs. The low price on the other side, with the large re ceipts from the Continent would seem to ren der such a shipment improbable, were it not for the large stock coming forward to this mirket, which may force holders to yield for this purpose. * Baltimore and Southern Steam Packet Comtany. We learn that the two propellers belonging to this line and intended to ply weekly between thi9 port and Baltimore, are in such a state of forwardness, that one of them will be able to take her place on the line in August next. Each steamer is to be propell ed by two engines of 200 horse power. Their measurement is 180 feet in length by 30 wide, -» n———l -- AUGUSTA WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT MAY 14, 1851. The steamer St. Mathews arrived from Jack sonville, on Saturday, but brought little addi tional information in relation to the late Cuban movement, in that quarter. The men who had rendevouzed at Jacksonville had nearly all returned to their homes. A small compa ny, probably not more than 60 or 70, were in the neighborhood of Burnt Fort, on Wednes day last, and were making arrangements to re turn to the interior. Our informant stated that upwards of 600 men had passed that point within a few weeks past, whose object was to join the expedition. They expressed great dissatisfaction in not being able to enter upon the object which they had in view, but were all willing to embark upon the enter pri eat »ny iuture day. They are represent ed as having been a fine body of men. The ladies of Jacksonville had wrought for them some beautiful banners, which, for the pre?ent, have been furled, and will be pre served for a more propitious day. Since it has been known in the neighborhood of Jackson ville, that the project has been abandoned, the the cause of Cuban independence has gained strength with the people, and many who here tofore were backward or indifferent on the subject, are now the open advocates of the expedition.— Savannah News , 12 th inst. Hoaxing. —A most amusing controversy is going on between the organs of the two na tional parties here and at Louisville, as to which of the two parties at the North is the most faithful or treaqherous to the Constitu tion or the South. This is a most important enquiry now, when the Presidential election is near —and was perhaps not enough thought of a year ago. A similar dispute exists at the North with respect to the conduct of the Southern wings of the said parties. The two sections of the two parties have long been embarrassed with each other during a Presidential canvass, from the contradictory positions they assumed, and have given great topics of scandal to the large and growing class ol people that took sides with neither. °This year, the discrepancy promises to be greater than ever before. We shall have to sympa thize extensively with our amiable friend of the Union, in the arduous efforts he will have to make in hot weather to harmonise the elements of repulsion that abound throughout the country. We should not be surprised if the pretence of harmony between the wings of the two parties respectively, is abandoned as hopeless. JLhe power of a party press is very great, but that power has b@en overdone; and now, in or der to preserve the unity of the two wings of the two parties, an amount of eqtiivocation and shuffling is required, which could be at tempted with a hope of success only by agents in whom the people have implicit confidence. On the question of despoiling the South of all her share of California, the two great na tional parties confederated with a unanimity that has demonstrated that their principles were as nothing when tempted by so great a bribe. No robbery since the world was made, has ever been perpetrated of equal magnitude, on such flimsy pretences, and with so little pallia tion. The partition of Poland was defended by the combined spoilers with some plausi bility.—l was a republic in the midst of des potisms, and therefore really endangered the safety of neighboring crowns.

If you shall not have agreed upon a verdict at the expiration of that time, you can then seal up your verdict, and the court will rsceive it at a future period. Storm, &e. —On Sunday afternoon last a violent squall set in from the North West, bringing hail and a prodigious fall of rain which lasted some four or five hours, and must have done a great deal of damage to the plan ters in the vicinity. The rain literally fell in torrents, and level ground was covered with a solid sheet of water. The wash must have been tremendous on rolling ploughed lands. The hail, we think, was too light to have done much injury. The season thus far has been very unpro pitious for crops in this vicinity. The weath er has been remarkably cool, and up to this time, there have not been more than some three or four days, in which thin garments would have been comfortable. —Florida Sen tinel, 6th inst. The Weather and Crops. —The weather, during the past mouth has been unusually cool for the Season, and the growth of cotton has in consequence been retarded.—The stand is generally good, but the plant is small. Corn was planted later than usual.—The plant looks healthy, and the quantity planted promises an abundant crop. —Albany (C ta.) Patriot , 9th inst. . BANK NOTE TABLE.

But in the plunder of California from the South, there was more than the wealth of even East Indian princes taken; and it was meanly, basely taken from brethren, fellow-soldiers, fellow-citizens, on pretences beneath the dig nity of county court pettifogging, and by an abuse of the powers of a common government, created to establish justice , secure domestic tran quility ', and to form a more perfect Union,— Southern Press, Bth inst.
