tia.tenf from England.
By the arrival of the »hip Josephine, Capt.
Alex. Britton, wo have received Cork papers of
the I"th July, containing London dates of the
15th. four dav* later than our previous advices.
The recruiting service in the cause of the
Queen of Spain was going on in Ireland with ;
grea*, spirit.
Q’i’he papers contain nothing of importance :
from Spain. ,
Cork, Fnday, July 17.-The London paper* i
of Monday and Tuesday arrived m course ; the |
parliamentary intelligence they contain will be .
found important. Alter the order of the day ,
had been moved on Monday evening, by Lord!
Morpeth, the following announcement was made
by Lord J. Russell ■ ,
“I have received his Majesty’s commands to j
state that he has been graciously pleased to place |
at the disposal of this House, lor the purposes j
of the Irish Church Bill, all his Majesty’s inter. |
est in any benefices and ecclesiastical dignities ;
of the Church of Ireland.”
The Irish Church Bill was then read a second
time and ordered to be committed on Monday.
The Attorney General. (Mr. Perrin,) gave no
tice that on Thursday evening 23d tnst. he would
biing forward the bill to regulate municipal cor.
porations in Ireland. We have good reason to
believe that this bill will afford the fullest satis,
faction to the majority of the Irish represents
t ve« and to the great bulk of the Irish nation.
IRISH AUXILIARIES FOR SPAIN.—
This day 350 men, who have been enlisted into j
the service of the Queen of Spain, will embark j
for Cork in the St. David. A transport is lying
at anchor in that harbor, waiting to carry out
some of the forces destined for iho expedition.
A further draft of men will leave this city in a
few days. Recruiting is also in progress in the j
South.—[Dublin Pilot of Wednesday.
France —The Conspiracy. —The parties in !
enstodv charged with a conspiracy to assassinate ;
the King, amount already to the number of twen. i
ty.—The prime mover of this plot is a man ol
the name of Bergeron, who has already been tri
e 1 and acquitted of a similar offence, having
been charged, as you may remember, with firing
a pistol at die King, at the corner of the Point
Royal, when his Majesty was proceeding from
the Tuilleries to the Chamber of Deputies to o
pen the session of the Legislature. His acqui.
tal having secured his impunity, this man has
since been heard to boast that his was really the
hand that fired the famous pistol shot; but al
though he is now in custody, it seems to be doubt,
ful whether this new conspiracy can be brought
home either to him or his supposed accomplices.
Apart from their ulterior designs, which certain
ly could not be innocent, the facts which can be
proved against them amount to little more than
their having taken a house on the road to Neuii
ly, and having made it a sort of magazine of
arms and ammunition. It is supposed that the
principal part of their plan consisted in the con.
etruction of a second edition of the celebrated
internal machine, which was to have been direct,
ed against tho King’s carriage on hie Majesty's
return from his suburban villa to the Tuilleries.
The preliminary proceedings are still in pro
gress, and as soon as they are brought to a close,
some official announcement will be made of the
course which it is intended to pursue.— Times.
LONDON, July 13th.—There is a moderate
supply of Wheat at market this morning, and the

For Barley there has been some inquiry this
morning.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—j to 7 o’clock.
Very important Message from the King.
The screw that was loose, it appears, is all
right, and the Tory hopes and expectations which
I have noticed above, are at an end.
The Irish Tithe Bill has been just read a se.
cond lime, and Lord John Russell took the op.
portnnity of stating, that “ he was authorised by
the King to communicate his Majesty’s willing,
ness and readiness to place at tho disposal of
Parliament, for the purpose of the Bill, ail his
interest in the Benefices and Ecclesiastical Dig.
nities in Ireland,"
The announcement was received with the
most deafening and prolonged cheers ever sene
forth in the House. It is, in fact, an expression
of the King’s approval of the Bill—the withhold,
ing or refusing to give which, was the founda
tion of all tho rumors during the last three days.
Tho dismay of the Tories is indescribable.

London, July 14.
We have received by express the Paris papers
of Sunday, together with a letter of the Bth from
Bayonne. The Monitcur publishes a telegraphic
despatch, announcing that an English battalion
itad landed from a steam.boat at Sebastian on
the morning of Friday last, the 10:h instant.
The trial before the Court of Peers made very
little progress on Saturday. A considerable
number o* the Lyons prisoners, who during the
examination of the witnesses have been daily
brought«y force into court, bad adopted a new
system ot resistance, and had refused to dress
themselves. A certificate or proves verbal to
this effect was produced, on which it was moved
by the Frocureur-General that the proceedings
should go on in their absence, on his unkertakmo- •
te furnish them daily with a lull and exact copy I
of his own requisitoire.
The Court was again about to retire to dehbe- j
rate on this demand, when Mr. Eavre, one of 1
the counsel for those prisoners who acknowledg. |
oil the juried ction ot the Court, observed, that !
tn calling over the roll, as usual, a: the com. i
tnenccment of the sitting, the name of Count
Mole had been omitted; and tie desired to know i
whether th’s had ar,sen from accident, or wheth- !

the roll caving been called over in the course of |
their deliberations at the secret sitting of the
Court, Count Mole, and two other peers, the
Marquis de Brilion and the Marquis D’Aux, had
refused to answer to their names, in consequence
of which they had been erased from the list of
members who are henceforth to officiate as judg
eg on this trial- Several of the Opposition jour
nals make some* severe observations on the man

were possible that the verification of absentees ■
had been omitted in order to enable them, if so ;

est change in the conduct or position of the mo
narchy of Louis Phillippe, which must always,
it is said, continue to regard itself as an immedi
ate emanation from the will and power, the in*

[From the Temperance Runner ]
We call the attention of our readers, auß'j
through them the friends of Temperance gene- I
rally, to the communication of “ T. F. S.” from i
Savannah, upon the subject oi Retailing spiritu
ous liquors. We thank him for bringing this
important subject before the public, and we hope
; his recommendations may he carried out.
i Our Legislature has acted upon this subject
j heretofore, and enacted laws granting licenses
i for the retailing of spirits, with certain vestric
! lions. And why may they not act again ? The
power that can prohibit the sale to certain quan
tities, can prohibit it altogether. If it was found
unsafe then, to allow any and every man free
j privilege to sell ardent spirits ; and that so (he
restrictions were necessary ; surely now, when
the Retailing license is proved to be an evil —is
• admitted to be a public grievance, our Legisla
1 lure will not hesitate, when the matter is placed
| before (hem, to lend their powerful arm to stay
the torrent of destruction which floods our laud,
sweeping in its course thousands of our fellow
men. Whether memorialized or not, we earn
estly hope that our Legislators, dashing from
' them everything like time serving policy, will
take this matter into serious c msideration, and
provide some means to si <p the traffic, and shut
down the flood-gates to the poisonous current.
We shall try to say more upon this subject
heieafter, and os we intend to send a copy of
this No. of the Banner to every press in Gcor.
gia, we hope that each paper will republish the
article referred to, and give it their hearty co
operation.
Savannah, 15:h Aug. 1835.
Messrs. Editors : —lt belongs iO our Legisla.
ture so to regulate our internal affairs and ex
ternal relations, as to protect us from injuries of
person, property, and reputation. And as a Le
gislature, they are concerned for the peace and
prosperity of our whole population, individually
and collectively. When, therefore, any pre
vailing practice is evidently a public nuisance,
or productive of mischief only to many citizens,
it becomes the Legislature, acting in the name
of the people, to take such order as may effec
tually remove the grievance.
That the retailing of spiritous liquors is a
public grievance, is felt and asserted by many,
j and is capable of clear demonstration —if is a
fact. And surely, if our Legislature were res.
pectfully memorialized upon the subject, they
would take efficient measures to correct this
extensive evil.
I propose, therefore, to the friends of Tern
perance throughout the State, to draw up forth
' with respectful memorials to be presented to
the next Legislature, and to obtain the signa.
tures of all who are willing to sign them, that
that honorable body may be informed of the
vast number wlu feel aggrieved upon this sub.
joct. lam not prepared to offer a form of me
morial, perhaps that may better be framed by
each Society or community. Let the object,
however, be uniformly and distinctly stated—
that we wish the retailing system effectually
stopped.
If not completed before, the first Monday in
October would boa suitanlo day for circulating
memorials. Let there be at least one upon eve.
ry election ground. I trust this subject will not
be overlooked by the friends of Temperance, but
promptly and efficiently attended to in every
county.
All Editors friendly to Temperance will no
doubt confer an essential service by presenting
and recommending this subject. And if any
additional argument to them he necessary, this
will be convincing —the more extensively Tem
perance prevails, the greater will be the number
of renders and subscribers to good newspapers.
Very respectfully, vours, &,e.

A CARD.
During twenty five years that I have been di
rectly and indirectly connected with the public
press, I have invariably sustained the rights, and
supported the principles of the Southern States
—have always protested against any interfrr
ence with their constitutional privileges, and
decried every attempt to create excitement, or
produce unhappy difficulties on the Slave qnes
tion.
Recent events, in several parts of the South
ern and Western States, satisfy me, that there is
a fixed determination among a body of men re.
siding North of the Potomac, to agitate and pur
sue the discussion of immediate emancipation,
and thus jeoardize the safety of the Union, and
the rights, comforts and happiness of our fellow
citizens, residing in the Slave States.
With a view of affording to those residing in
that section of the Union, and also here, a chan,
nel in the North, through 'which they can be
fully heard in defence of their rights, their at.
tachment to our happy Confederacy, and in par
ticular, their sentiments on this important and
delicate question, I cheerfully open to them the.
columns of the Evening Star, in which not only
those rights shall be firmly Sustained, but shall
be happy to make the paper the medium of
communication, through which their setiments
cun be heard, and their wishes made known to
the people of the United States.

Mave Case.
The New York Journal of Commerce has
the following notice of a Slave Case, recently
decided in that city.
I “The case of the slave Jack, was again brought j
i before the Court of Errors this morning, and the j
! question discussed whether the claimant of the }
i slave should be allowed damages for the loss of I
I his services whilst the slave was detained under ;
j the writ of dehotnine replegiando. In rela.ion
j to tpis, the following propositions were made,
I First, that the claimant should be paid the actu-
I al amount of his losses on account of the slave’s
detention. This proposition was negatived, and
1 u was then moved that the claimant should be
allowed six cents. This was also negatived,
! and a proposal was made to give the claimant
.stkl, which was also negatived. Mr. Storrs
then proposed to give him §2O cs the supposed
interest on the coats awarded against the slave.
1 his was agreed to by il, e Court.” The Slave
has been withheld from the owner nearly 12
months, is this justice !

THE TRUE DOCTRINE. M
• The subjoined letter, written by Mr, Webster
some years since in reply to an application from
a respectble gentlemen of Georgia, contains a
ful! and fair exposition ol his views upon the
subject of slavery at the South. It embraces
the true doctrine in regard to constitutional
rights ol the slave holding states, and we believe
that the opinions expressed are such as are
maintained by every intelligent and real friend
of the Republic,
New.Yorx, ’.lay IT.
My Dear Sir—l have received vour letter of j
i.ist evening, requesting mo to state my opinion
cf the powers of Congress'bn the suhject,of.
siaves and slavery; and of the existence pfaay
wish or design; qtl the part of.'Norlhern men to
interfere with the security or regulation of that
species of properly.
My sentiments on this subject, my dear sir,
have been oftetirjiubhcly expressed; but I can have
no objections to rppeaiybe declaration of them,
it it be thought by you that such a declaration
might in the smallest degree, aid the friends of
the Union and,the Constitution in the South in
dispellingprejucljce&'wtich a r e so industriously
fostered, and in quieting agitations so industry
ouslv kept alive,
i In my opinion, the domestic slavery of the
! Southern States.is a subject within the .exclu
| sive control of the stales themselves; and this.
| I am sure, isthe. opinion of the whole North.
I Congress ha? no .authority to interfere in the'
j cmr.ncipaiiop, of slaves, or in the treatment of
1 them in any of the states. This was so resolv.~
i ed by the Hntts.e of Representatives, -when Con.
gross sat in this- city 1730, on trie reiiort of a
i committee, consisting entirely of Northern
S memiscEs, ancj I do not know of an instance of
| the expression of a different opinion, in cither
i house’of congress; since. I cannot say that par
’ Lcnlnr individuals might riot possibly be found
j who suppose .that congress may possess some
power <n - cr the subject, liut Ido not know any
such persons, and if there be any I am sure they
are few... The servitude of so great a portion of
the population of the South, is, undoubtedly, re
yarded at.the North, as a great evil, moral and
political; and the discussions upon it, which have
recently taken place in the legislature of several
of the slave holding states,.have been read with
very deep interest. But it is regarded, never,
the! ess, as an evil, the remedy lor which lies
with those legislatures themselves, to be provid
ed and applied according to their own sense 0!
pol icy and duly. The imputations which you
say, and say truly, are constantly made against
the North, are in my opinion entirely destitute
of any just foundation. I have endeavored to
repel them so fur as has been in my power, on
all proper occasions ; for a fuller expression of
my opinions, both on the power of congress and
on the groundless charges against Nortnern
men, I heg leave to refer you to my remarks in
the debate on Mr. Foot's resolutions in 1830. I
am, dear sir, with much true regard, your obedi
ent servant, DANIEL WEBSTER.

(Joorsre B. Pollock.
We abstained yesterday from giving publicity
to the disclosures that were made relative to the
conduct of Pollock, whose disappearance has
occasioned various conjectures, from regard to
the feelings of his friends, but we find that some
of our cotemporaries have noticed the facts, and
it wogld he affectation in us to attempt to con
ceal them. We copv the version of the story
as ideated bv the Atlas, “lie was a clerk in
the respectable house of E. B iker & Co. and
his general conduct ard reputation for integrity
were such ns to gain the unlimited confidence
of his employers. lie was a member of the
Mr. Stone’s church, an active zealous lender in
all religious and charitable undertakings, and a
teacher in the Sunday school. lie was treated
by Messrs. Baker it Co. rather as one of the
firm, than as an ordinary stipendiary of the es
tibliabment. He was an accurate accountant,
and an able clerk. It happened that Mr. Raker
having recently returned from Europe, entered
the counting room, and requested to see the tri
al balance of the last month, and having examin.
ed it, expressed his surprise at the bills payable.
M r. Pollock insisted upon it, that it was correct;
and Mr. Baker, having other affairs to attend to,
and reposing implicit faith in the honesty of ins
clerk, dropped the examination till a more con.
venient season. Mr. Pollock was never.seen at
the store after this conversation. His hat was
subsequent y 'bund floating upon the water, with
a piece of India rubber bottle attached to it.
The horrors of the guilty and distrustful con
science seem to have driven him to escape from
threatened conviction; and the unexpected return
of Mr. Baker from Europe, together with his
request to look ar. the trial balance, were to him
substantial proofs of his employers’ suspicions
against him. It has appeared, upon an examina
tion of the books of the concern, that Pollock has
been carrying on his depredations for some three
years ; yet so ingenious has been his mode of
keeping the accounts, and as great, the misplaced
confidence of Messrs. Baker &. Co, that he has
heretofore not only escaped detection, but suspi
cion as a defaulter. They now discover that in
the year 1832, the amount of his defalcation was
one thousand dollars; in 1833, two thousand and
two hunderd dollars ; and that his subsequent
abstractions have been sufficient to make up, in
all, the sum of seven thousand four hundred
dollars.
Important Correspondence.- —A lengthy cor,
ruspondence between Captain Elliott and Gene
ral Towson, respecting the affair of cutting out
the vessels Detroit and Caledonia, from under
the guns of Fort Erie, in 1812, has lately taken
place, and is published in (he New York Times,
which has resulted in placing them in an attitude
of hostility, though as Capt. Elliott was to sail
yesterday in the Constitution, for the Mediterra
nean, where he is to lake command of the squad
run, there can be no fatal duel between them for
the present-
The Times gives its readers their cue in the
following language—” Towson himself, we
know is considered the Whig leader at Wash
ington, and we believe he was-selected as their
best fighting man, to put down one whom they
consider a favorite of the President. What the
public will now think of him cannot be doubtful.”
To the Editor of the New York American.
Sir,— l hasten to correct a statement which
appears in the Courier & Enquirer of this morn
ing, which does injustice tp Com. Elliot. I bore
the propositions from General Towson to Com.
Elliot, which, at the request of the Commodore,
were reduced to writing; upon a very short con.
sulfation with a friend, they were returned by
the Commodore, who declined receiving them,
but expressed his willingness,j tq coneiderthe
note I had delivered as’a challenge; a communi
cation to which effect he made in writing. Hav
ing no authority from GeneralTowsen to proceed
further in the matter, in'case tire propositions
were declined, answer was gi ven to the Cornnio.
dore to that effect. Gen. Towson has desired
that the statement should be made, and requests
its immediate publication, as an act of justice to
Com. Elliot.
Yery respectfully, your obedient, servant,
P. MACAULY. i

The following are the propositions referred to |
in the above letter. j
“Gen. Towson authorises me to-propose that 1
Com, Elliot should select an officer or other 1
friend, who with myself shall decide, under ex- i
istiug circumstances, which party shall challenge;
and further, should he (Gen. Towson) be The
challenged party, he agrees to waive any advan.
tage arising front that position.

Commodore Elliot —We loose no time in lay
ing before the pubbe the preceding correction of
a statement made by us yesterday. It will be
borne in mind that the intelligence to which it ’

[ Sir;—ld your paper of ihellthinst. which

he says is a coincidence in the publication in t *e

an original article from himself, and the repobli
caiion of an article signed “Crawford,’’addressed
by some good soul, as it appears, to me. Ho

I may, indeed, after the manner of the late John :
of Roanoke, say of the Nullifying prints, that 1 j
do not now touch one of them even with a pair of ,
I tongues. From the 16th of July, then, I nave
I been utterly ignorant of their contents : indeed,
I both my honorable friend, who is at present be

ourselves compelled from self-respect, consider- .
ing the falsehoods eliminated against us by the ;
i Nullifying papers, to decline perusing them. In ;
our utter ignorance, therefore, of the current
j'ca’umnies against us, we have a confiding reli
i anee on the-good sense of the people of Georgia;
and are perfectly willing to let them be the arbi
ters between our slanderers and us.
These scribbling gentry of the Nullifying press,
are indeed, it may be said, pouring water in a
seive; for ice know nothing-pf their writings, and
j our political friends laugh,-at them. Laboring

for his information and that of others of the same
j political school who may bo disposed to speed
! similar shafts, that vehicles of sedition though
; very appropriate media tor the circulation of
i calumnies against the undersigned, are very in
i appropriate media for tlie transmission to him of
the fact of such circulation ; since, as already
said, lie never sees them, nor hears any thing
about them.

I have been made to the Savannah Republican

I will it ever meet his eye or reach his ear, unless
it be transplanted in one of the Union p ipers of
Georgia. The piece signed by the family of the
late Governor Jackson was deliberately read in
manuscript by five out of six of its members,
before it went to the printing office; and not a word
being objected to by either, it wasjustly sent out
under the imprimatur of the Family, not in os
tentation, bur purely in self-defence—in defence
of their principles and of those ol their deceased
head, which had been wantonly traduced by
being depicted as affiliated with the doctrines of
Nullification. No interest would appear to be
due to the dissentient piece of Joseph VV. Jack
son just alluded to. The public will, doubtless
attach such importance, and such only to it as
seems fitly to appertain to an attempt to exhibit
the principles and feelings of an ancestor by one

knowledge. The remarks of the editor are sen
sible and well-timed.
We have seen the statement of a committee,
purporting to represent the views and feelings
of 50 students of Phillips’ Academy, Andover,
in regard to certain grievances to which they
imagine themselves to have been subjected.—
They set forth their reasons, also, for leaving
the school—a step, whi -h in their wisdom, they
have seen fit to take. The ground of complaint
is, that Mr. Johnson, the Principal of the Aca.
demy, refused to let them form an ami slavery
society, thus abridging the exercise ot their just
rights mid prerogatives. Their young republican
blood was raised to ebullition, at this most tyran.
nical procedure, and they forthwith declared
themselves free and independent. For fear the
puh'ic might think this measure to be thetresult of
youthful rashness, they take pains to announce
to the world, that their ages average 21 years, a
fact that nobody would have supposed, if they
had not been told ofit.
We are rather sorry, for the sake of the young,
sters, that they divulged this; for the only apolo
gy that can he offered for their silly conduct is,
that it was the inconsiderate work of boys in
their teens. School boys are very prone to
find fault with just and wholesome restraints.—
Mr. Johnson pursued a very proper course in.
deed, and merits the thanks of every friend of
the school. These boys are sent to him to be
instructed in useful knowledge, and not to form
anti slavery, or colonization, or masonic, or anti
masonic societies. Many gentlemen send their
sons to Andover for an education, who repudiate
the doctrines and conduct of the abolitionists, so
called. Are these young boys to be exposed to
the artifices of those of a large growth, and to
be imbued with their crude notions of slavery,
and inveigled into their abolition societies ? Very
few men of sense would suffer their children to
be exposed to such influences, as must unavoid,
ably surround them at the academy, if an anti
slavery society existed there. We are informed
that already some lads of a dozen years old can
talk very eloquently upon the subject of slavery,
and discuss all its morals and political bearings.
We repeat, Mr. Johnson has acted wisely and
faithfully injthis thing. The doors?of that ancient
and excellent school had better be forever bar
red, than that one iota should be yielded to these
rash and inconsiderate young men. It is time
enough for them to take part in this agitating
question, when they shall have finished their
ac identical studies, and entered on the active
duties and labors of life.
Correspondence of the U. States Gazette.
Extract of a letter, dated
Callao* May 8. 1335'.
U. S. Frigate Brandywine. —Nothing new
here for my friends of the United States. The
government as unsettled as when.l last wrote." 1
Gen. Salaverry, who I mentioned having usur
ped the Presidential-authority, is increasing in
power, and daily gains new adherents: No de
cisive action has as yet taken place between him
and Gen. O'oregoso, the legal President, though
i Salaverry left here with his troops about 6 weeks
since for that purpose. The latter is now en
deavoring to organise something like a navy,
with materials consisting of one sloop and three
or four small brigs, commanded badly, equipped
worse, and manned not-at-all; for the beings on
board, though living creatures, are far.frorn what
tee call men. Day before yesterday, as we pas- f
sed close to one of their brigs, in our boat, a
man jumped from'the forecastle and swam for
us ; we took him in, and he proved to be an A
merican from New-York, who had been pressed
; on board of her down the coast. Our Commo
| (lore demanded him, and this morning he was de
j hyered to us, and is now on board ; had we not
been here, the poor fellow might have remained
j aboard as he was, half starved, nearly naked
j and badly treated.
I A few weeks since, Salaverry took one of 6-
: bregoso’s generals prisoner, I think his Secretary
| of W ar. He was brought here and confined in
j the castle, until a few mornings since, when he
was dragged from his wife at 3 o’clock' in the
morning anfl shot.; She-had been permitted to
remain.with him, poor creature,’ ’and was in a
very delicate situation.. So much for Siaverry’s
summary justice! ‘
The squadron are all away now, but when last
heard from were in excellent health.
Preventive for Riots. —The power of a mob
and the inefficiency of a police, have now been
tested in this country. We consider that in Bal
timore the rioters effected every purpose for
which they combined ; and the display of power
on the part of the citizens and military was only
an after game, that had nothing to do with the
“stayof proceedings.” It was the same iear
Boston, at New York, near Philadelphia, and at
the smith, t&vrs, then, are inoperative: the
m»eople will not or cannot preserve from destruc
the properly of individuals or associations
that have by anv means become obnoxious to the
ensures of a mob. What then is to be done ?
a m an pays his tax for the support of a govern
ment established for the preservation of person
al and pecuniary rights ; he submits himself and
his cause to tho law when his conduct is called
in question ; he asks no special action to suit his
case, or any favor from judge or jury ; and ns a
property holder, he pays a part of the expenses
incurred on the prosecution legally instituted a
gainst himself.—lf emerged nr damages, his pro
perty is liable for the amount. - This is the duty

government is pledged tp-auslain Rim and his pro

a mofal rigid ,vand w« : propose as a preventive
to the mischief of rioters, that the legislature of
this state pass a law, making every township or
municipal government accountable for property
I wasted within its limits by rioters. Such a law
( has been passed in England, and such a.custom
: obtains m France. If a mob was satisfied that
the losses which an individual might sustain at
their hands would of necessity 'be supplied by
the community, they would see at once how in
operative would be their vengeance'; but they
| now can calculate the exact extent of. their visi
] tation, pounce down upon their particular victim,
j indulge their passions, and faugh at the palsied
I arm of the law. — Philadelphia Gazette.
[From the Washington (Geo.) Spy.]
It appears our citizens have been aroused
from their criminal apathy on the subject of semi
naries of learning. After an unsuccessful effort
was made, to obtain the location of the Presbv
terian College in this place or vicinity, immedi
ately a subscription was set on foot, to raise funds
sufficient for the establishment-of one under the
supervision and control of the Baptist denomi
nation; and we Jearm,that in the short space of
four or five days, a sam.Tittle-rsliort of §20.000,
.was subscribed orpfrvdgacb’. Its friends are very
sanguine of s'pegess* fltidjtwe -resolved, that if a
sufficiency be obtained for the erection of sui
table buildings, Sic, neither to spare pains nor
expense, to obtain the most competent teachers.
Already has one been spoken of, as its President,
who is favorably known to the public, as a gen
tlemnn of profound erudition and great moral
worth. It may be proper here to state, tlta: al
though the institution is designed to be under the
direction of the Baptists, it will not be of a ,
Theological but of a literary character alone.
If we are not mistaken, there is none placed sole
ly under their charge south of the Potomac; and
therefore it will reasonably be concluded from
this circumstance, connected with others, the
College would soon be in a flourishing condition. 1
Nor have the citizens of late, been unmind |
ful of the condition of the Academy, which lias,
fur a time, been, in a languishing, not to sav semi,
defunct state. On the 17th inst. a meeting was
held, when after a suitable preamble, the follow
ing among other resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved , 1 st. That we will give our cheer
ful and hearty support to the Washington Aca
demy.
Resolved, 2nd, That Daniel Chandler, Sam
uel J. Cnssels, Joseph Mosely, A. S. Wingfield.
A. L. Alexander, F. Ficklen. Wm. 11. Pope,
and Wm. L. Harris, be appointed a committee to
receive such subscriptions as the friends of edu
cation maybe disposed to contribute for the aid
of the Academy.
Resolved, 3d. That this meeting recommend
to the commissioners of the Academy to remove
the building in front of the Academy on Marne
1 Street. To repair tho fence, paint the Academy,
jK id do such other general repair as may be want-
ing.
Resolved, 4th, That we recommend that male
students he alone received in the Academy-
That three competent teachers be selected, pro
vided the number of students authorize it in the
opinion of the Board, to take charge of the Aca
demy, one as a general superimendant, and to
instruct in such of the higher branches ofscience
as may be suggested bv the Board—with a stat
ed salary of §IOOO. The others to tench ma
thematics in all its branches—Natural Philoso
phy, the Languages, Geography, English Gram
mar, &c. as the superintendant may direct—each
with a salary of §BOO.
CHARLESTON, August 24.— Another at.

which was found to proceed from the adjoining
premises, occupied by Mr. Scunider—Cotton*

A man w*as shipped as a deck hand from one
es the boardinghouses in Elliot-s-treet, on hoard
the Steam Packet Dolphin, at her last trip. After
arriving in Norlolk, he requested permission of
the Captain to hire someone in his place, to do
his work, while in port, which was granted. Im
mediately previous to the departure of the D.
for this port, he came on board, and asked to
have a colored boy, acting as assistant took, be
longing to Mr. Cits. M. Furman, of this city, sent
with him to bring some ducks on board, which
he had purchased. After waiting for some hours
for their return, a Constable came on board the
boat, and informed Capt. P. that this man had
been arrested under suspicious circumstances, he
having offered, and actually effected the sole of
the fellow for §3OO, and received the money;
and what is most strange, the fellow when esld,
acknowledged ihat he did belong to this man.—
On questioning him he says that something’was
given to him to snuff, which made him not know
what he was about. The white man was com
mitted to jail in Norfolk, and Ihe colored-fellow
returned in the boat. There appears but little
doubt that the whole was a preconcerted plan
before leaving here.— lb.
Mr. Elwin Forrest, the tragedian, who is
now making the tour of Europe, thus de
scribes a winter journey over the Alps in Feb
ruary last:
I crossed the Alps by Mount Cenis. The toil
of this achievement is a different thing now from
what-it was inthe time Pornpey, who has the
honor of being set down as the first that made
the passage. From hi* time till leill, the journey
must have had its difficulties, since it only could
be performed on foot, or with a mule or donkey.
Napoleon then came scene, and— presto,
change! —in five months, a carriage road wound
by an easy ascent from th* base to the cloud-cap
summit, and thence down into the sunny lap of
Italy. Napoleon ! whereverhe passed, hasleft
traces of his greatness stamped in indelible
characters—a thousand imperishable monuments
attest the magnificence of his genius. Here
now, at all seasons, a practical road traverses
Mount Cenis, running six thousand feet above the
level of the sea, and uniting the valley of the
Arck in Savoy to that of Dona Ripuaria in Pied
mont. What a bug hear is the passage of the
Alps to the animated ! and all travellers seem i
disposed to encourage the deception. For my ’
t own part, the talcs I had heard prepared me to
anticipate an encounter with all sorts of difficul- i
ties, and that I should avoid them only by “hair 1
breadth’scapes.” When I first mentioned my ,
intention oferossing Mount Cenis in the month of :
February, a laugh of incredulity was the only |
answer I received from certain “holiday and :
silken fools.” And yet when I came to test the
nature of those perils which seemed so formid
able, viewed from Paris, judge my surprise at
finding one of the best roads I ever “wheeled
over,” stealing up into mid heaven' by such a
gentle ascent, that, were not one corttinually re
minded of his whereabout by the roar of foaming
waters, as they leap from fragment to fragment,
of the huge dissevered rocks, and tumble intp
“steepdown gulfs,”’he might almost fancy him
self gliding smoothly over one of those modern
contrivances, which have realized in some mea- 1
sure the wish of Nat Lee’s hero, and “annihilat
ed time ard space.” A Kentuckian once, riding
with me on the Troy and Albany Turnpike, after 1
an interval of silence, in which he was probably 1
comparing that smooth road with the rough hewn
ways of his own State, suddenly broke out, ex- 1
claiming, “Well, this road has the liltlest tilt I
from a level I ever did seel” The odd expression
occurred to rny mind more than once in crossing
the Alps. Ir may do to talk of the terrors ofthe I
Alps to certain lap nursed Europeans, who have '
never surmounted any but mole hill difficulties, <
by to Americans—or such Americans at least as i '
have seen something of their own magnificent r
indistinct print
country, before hastening to examine the minia
tore features of Europe—ihe Alps have “no ter
ror in their threats.” Land Admiral Reeside,
or honest Joe Webslerof Albany, would enjoy a
hearty laugh to see for himself what Alpine dan
gers are, and with one of his fast teams would
contiact to take you over the mountains in no
tyne, at any season of the year.
I should possess a graphic pen, indeed, were I
able to communicate to you, by the faint coloring
of words, any thing like an adequate idea of the
lofty grandeur of the scene which was spreacf
oat beneath me, as I paused, on the summit of
the mountain, to cast back one more lingering
look on Fiance. The sun was just setting, and
the slant lays lighted with dazzled lustre the
snowy peaks around me, and bathed in a flood
of light, like molten gold, the crags and flinty
projection of the lightning scathed and time
defying rocks. A dark cloud, like a funeral pall,
overhung the valley; the mountain torrent
hoarsely brawled along its devious channel, hall
choked with thick ribbed ice; and a thousand
features of rude magnificence, filled me with ad
miration of the sublimity which marks this home
of the tempest and the avalanche. At the hote:
where I supped, a number of peasantry were
making the most of the carnival time with music,
masking and dancing— and all this abort thi
clouds !

Becliller’s Pieces.
We give the following communication frorr
Mr. Beehtler, with cheerfulness. On receiving
it, we again called on the gentleman who carriec
on the pieces to the mint, and on stricter enqui
ry find that he is not certain whether the deft
ciency in value became manifest by weighing
of by assaying. He had at first concluded lint
the gold hail been assayed, and was wanting in
fineness, and still is inclined to that opinion.
But the hare possibiliy of the loss having been
produced by attrition of friction, considered with
the general accuracy ofMr. B’s, admixtures, its
as proven by other trials, and his unsuspected
reputation as an honest man, from a strong pre
sumption against the correctness of this con
clusion. Another fact we feel in d uty bound to
state,which we discovered on this Inst interview,
that this gold was not carried to the mint by the
merchant himself, nor the result made known
officially to him from the Institution; it came
second-handed, from a friend of Ins to whom he
entrusted the transaction of the business. So
there is in this, further room for mistake. We
hope that such Editors as have cojfted our for
mer article, will also copy this, with Mr. Bech
tier’s letter.

of beautiful and correct workmanship, intended
for weighing gold, used principally in Banking

, i grnes are concerned, we think legislative action
‘ ! 0,1 ■his subject is correct—but we cannot concur
' " itli the recommendations of either,the editor
’ or his correspondent, as te the utility of passing
_ a law by the legislature prohibiting the retailing
of spirituous liquors. We think the Ices they
have to do with the subject the better. Could
[ Bllch an act be Passed, would it decrease the
s ,T Jantlt y of B P''ils annually consumed in this
? State ?—or would it not on the other hand tend
! tn incrcase “-would not spirits he given away
; and water sold, as at the sheep shearing in
I Connecticut ? We are not advocates for in
; temperance, neither are we in favor of coercive
1 measures to put a stop to it. We believe that
good example, kind persuasion, and dispassion
ate reasoning, w,H do more good, and reform
more drunkards, than to make drunkenness a
Penitentiary offence. We believe that if two
drunkards were so situated that one was sur
rounded with rum, and could drink free of ex
pense and when he pleased, and the other in or
der to obtain it had to seek after and pay for it,
that he who paid would drink the most. We
are advocates for temperance and other socie.
i ties, which have for their object the public good ;
so long as they confine themselves to persuasion
and example, they will do good—but when they
seek to enforce temperance by an act of the le.
gislaturc, they loose their weight and influence;
—in this country men can be led—they cannot
be driven. A drunkard cannot be reformed by
debarring him from the use of spirits the very
j Hea - tl,Bt it is difficult to obtain gives him more
j relish for it. than he had before. The cause of
Temperance in this country has been steadily
progressing—the members of the numerous so
cieties have done much good by example and
argument, and by these means have reclaimed
many, and prevented thousands from becoming
drunkards. So long as they confine themselves
to these moans they must continue to increase,
prosper and do good, and will have our support!
but so soon as they give up the means which
has brought them info notice, and by which they
i have increased and done good, and resort to le.
i gislative measures in order to enforce their pre.
| ce P' 9 and examples, they loose that Confidence'
I which is due them, and will not
meet with support from us.
The Season.
The St. Francisville (La.) Journal of the 13th

gentle showers, but in torrents. The cotton
crops are greatly retarded and injured thereby;
and but a scanty supply of corn blades have’
been or can be saved.”
Avery and Abolition.
M e learn from the Lowell Journal that the
Abolitionists have succeeded in securing the ser
vices of the “Reverend Ephraim K. Avery”
and that he has resumed the clerical functions
for the purpose of disseminating the beautiful
tenets of that sect. He is a champion worthy
of the cause, and the cause is worthy of him.
A more appropriate alliance could hardly have
been imagined.

Among the importations in this port, with
