WEDNESDAY MORNING, FELSRUARV 15, IKE.
ftjrWe shall, as soon as we find room for them,
publish some extracts from the report of the Bank
Commissioners, made to the legislature of New
Vork, January 27. It is a very able ami interesting
document. We have ou hand the report of the Ten
nessee Canal Commissioners, presented to the le
gislature of Alabama, at the last session, from u hich
we intend to publish some very interesting extracts.
SHIP BUILDING.
We copy the following interesting information,
from the Baltimore American.
“The intercourse between this port and Liver
pool is about to receive an additional facilily in the
noble new ship Powhatan, captain Griffith, which
is now ready for her first voyage. Her burthen is
000 tons, or alamt 2000 bales of cotton. In the se
veral points of model, materials and construction,
she is declared to be one of the most superior ships
ever built in Baltimore, which, when we recur to
the many first rale vessels constructed here, is say
ing much.
“ The steam packet Cuba, of 000 tons, which was
launched on Tuesday, is likewise a specimen of
naval architecture which will do honor to the me
chanical skill of our builders. She is destined lor
the route between New Orleans and Havana, and
will be commanded by captain Swiller, of New Or
leans, who has superintended her construction. _
“ The keel of a shp of 800 tons w as laid on Wed
nesday at the yard of Mr. 1- H. Dunkin, for Cap
tain U. Fisher, of Petersburg. The same builder
has also ou the stocks a steamboat of 201 feet in
length, for the line between this city and Nor
folk. .
“ Air. J. A. Rohb is putting up the frame of a
fine steam packet ship, for the company who in
tended to establish a line between Baltimore and
Savannah.
There arc also several brigs and schooners on the
stocks at other yards.
TELEGRAPHS.
The New Orleans True American, states that
the establishment ol a Telegraph between New
York and Now Orleans is in contemplation, and
that the inventors of the system are sanguine in
their expectations. The Philadelphia Gazette
,says that the Chamber of Commerce and Board
of Trade of that city, are about to unite in an
application to the legislature for the incorpora
tion of a company, with authority to establish a
line of telegraphs from the Breakwater to Phila
delphia, by which information may be commu
nicated between the two points, one hundred
miles apart, in less than thirty minutes. To
•show the importance oi telegraphs, and the
speed with which information may be communi
cated, we copy the following from the New Or
leans American.
The Semaphoric Telegraph consists of a tall
mast at the lop of which are three painted
boards. These describe vertically the greater
part of a circle and hy the combination of posi
tions, which are read in a dictionary for the pur
pose, they communicate any intelligence that
may lie required. The arms are worked by pul
lies. If a lino were established from this city to
the Balizc, the American Exchange when finish
ed, will constitute a good starting point. The
next position would bo somewhere near Fort St.
Leon. If it were necessary to follow the river
the number required to complete the line would
not exceed ten. By taking the nearest points
the object could be effected with six. The cost
of each would not exceed §2OO, and they could
bo kept up for about the same sum each per an
num. But the cxj>cnsc would be no considera
tion. The advantage to Utc community would
outweigh any objection of this sort. When it is
known that only twenty-seven Telegraphs con
vey information from Calais to Paris in three mi
nutes, twenty-two from Paris to Lisle in two mi
nutes —forty-six from Strasburg to Paris in six
and a half minutes, and eighty from Paris to
Brest iit ton minutes. No difficulty can present
itself in overcoming the distance between the
city and the Passes by the Telegraph. Though
we have a disadvantage to encounter in having
no high lands intervening, yet the increase of
expense in having one or two more can form no
valid objection. Who would pay for the estab
lishment and keeping up of the Telegraphs is
the next inquiry? Either the Ocean Steam
Company, (if it goes into operation) the mer
chants, or the State, wc would answer.—The
burden would lie apt to fall upon the merchants,
wc arc aware, but as the advantage would he
theirs so must the expense be theirs. The pro
prietors of pa|>ers might add their assistance,
and taken all together, the tax would scarcely be
felt by those who would embark in so useful an
undertaking. It will bo absolutely necessary to
have a line if the Steam Navigation Company
.succeeds. Even now, it would be highly satis,
factorv, but with regular packets from Liverpool,
it would be invaluable.
COTTON GIN.
For the information of our cotton planters, wc
copy from the New Orleans Louisiana Advcrti
tiser, of 2d instant, the following editorial no
tice of an improved cotton gin, and the adver
tisement of the inventor.
Cotton Gin. —-An improved patent cotton
gin, invented by a gentleman of this city, can be
seen and examined at Banks’ Arcade. It offers
many inducements to the planters of Louisiana
to become acquainted with its uses, and the ma
ny advantages it possesses over the cylinder gin,
now in general use. We are satisfied that no
planter will be found without one of this patent,
when he has viewed its operations, and tested
the many desirable properties that it combines.
The advertisement will be found in our columns,
which treats more freely on this improvement
so interesting to the cotton growing States.
Patent Cotton Gin, invented by Alexander
Janes, of New Orleans, and manufactured hy
Hubert Hoe cj- Co. N. Y. —This Gin is calcula
ted to clean double the quantity of cotton
over the ordinary single cylinder gin, (no other
kind having been in use previous to this patent,)
and to improve the quality of the cotton.
They can be made to do the work of from 40 to
1(50 saws and whether large or small, will only
require the attention of one hand; whereas gins
of tiie ordinary construction, to do the same
amount of work, would require from two to six
or eight hands to attend them.
This gin feeds itself- The feeders being so
arranged as to free the cotton from all trash and
dirt before it can reach the saws, and by a very
simple arrangement of a screw to each set of
grates, through which the feeders pass, they can
be ma le to ftjed slow or fast, in order to suit the
condition of the cotton at the time of ginning.
The saws are placed ou two cylinders and turn
iu opposite directions, and are cleansed by two
sets of brushes, which move with such great ra
pidity, as to cause each tooth of the saw to re
ceive two strokes from Ihe brushes before they
can make one revolution.
The whole is put in motion by a hand, as in
the ordinary gin, and may he propelled by either
horse, water, or steam power, **s with the old
gin.
This patent gin, which can he seen at-Banks’
Arcade, in Magazine street, .-.as tried at the fac
tory in New York, before shipment, on cotton
in the seed, obtained from Charleston, South
Carolina, and proved itself to be a perfect ope
rating machine.
It will be put in operation in this city’, for the
inspection of planters and others, as soon as ar
rangements can be made for that purpose.
For further information apply to Alexan
der Jones, at the “Orleans Lithographic Os
lice in Magazine street, opposite Banks’ Arcade,
who will lie glad to receive orders for the gin, to
he made in New Y'ork, and delivered to planters
in season for the coming crop. The prices of
the gins will vary according to size, from §250
to §7OO.
No orders can be attended to without a City
reference.
THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.
The following is the message of the President
alluded to iu our paper of yesterday under the j
Congressional head.
Senate, Feb. 7.
A message was received from the President of
the United States hy Andrew Jackson, Jr. Esq.
his private secretary, as follows:
To the Senate of the United Stale:
At the beginning of this session, Congress was
informed that our claims upon Mexico had not
been adjusted, but, that, notwithstanding the irri
tating effect upon her councils of the movements
iu Texas, I hoped, by-great forbearance, to avoid
the necessity of again bringing the subject of
them toyour notice. That hope has been disap
pointed. Having in vain urged upon that Gov
ernment the justice of those claims, and my in
dispensable obligation to insist that there should
he “no further delay in the acknowledgement, if
not in the redress of the injuries complained of,”
my duty requires that the whole subject should
. be presented, as it now is, for the action of Con
gress, whose exclusive right it is to decide on
the further measures of redress to be employed.
The legnth oftiinc since some ofthe injuries have
been committed, the repeated and unavailing ap
plications for redress, the wanton character of
some ofthe outrages upon the property and
persons of our citizens, upon the officers and flag
ofthe U. States, independent of recent insults to
this Government and people by the late Extraor
dinary Mexican Minister, would justify’, in the
eyes of all nations, immediate Avar. That rem
edy’, however, should not be used by just and gen
erous nations, confiding in their strength, for in
juries committed, ifit can be honorably avoided ;
and it has occurred to me that, considering the
present embarrassed condition of that country,
wc should art with 1> >lh wisdom and moderation,
bv giving to Mexico one more opporf unity to
atone for the past, before wc take redress into
our own hands. To avoid all misconception on
the part of Mexico, as well as to protect our own
national character from reproach, this opportu
nity’ should be given, with the avowed design
and full preparation to take immediate satisfac
tion if it should not be obtained on a repetition
ofthe demand for it. To this end I recommend
that an act he passed authorizing reprisals, and
the use of the naval force ofthe United States,
hv the Executive against Mexico, to enforce
them, in the. event of a refusal hy the Mexican
Government to come to an amicable adjustment
of the matters in controversy between us, upon
another demand thereof made from onboard one j
of onr vessels of war on the coast of Mexico.
The documents herewith transmitted, with i
j those accompanying my message in answer to a
■ call of the House of Representatives of the 17th |
i ultimo, will enable Congress to judge of the pro- 1
priety of the course heretofore pursued, and to
decide upon the necessity of that now recom
mended.
If these views should fail to meet the concur- j
rencc of Congress, and that body be able to find
in the condition of the affairs between the two
countries, as disclosed by the accompanying do- 1
euments, with those referred to, any wcll-groun- i
ded reasons to hope that an adjustment of the
controversy between I hem can be effected with
-1 j out a resort to the measures I have felt it my du
‘ i ty to recommend, they may be assured of my
! co-operation in any other course that shall be dee
-1 mod honorable and proper.
ANDREW JACKSON.
Washington, Feb. 6, 1837.
’ The message having been read, it was, on mo
! tion of Air. Buchanan, ordered to be printed,
‘ together with the accompanying documents, and
» | referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Iron Works in Spartanhurgh. —Wc believe it is
1 not generally known, particularly’ at a distance, that
’ there is a large incorporated company in Spartan
■ burgh District, with a heavy capital, ibr the manu
, facture of iron; and where such fact is known, there
are but few who have any idea of the quantity of
iron manufactured at the establishment. The fol
lowing is the amount made during the year 1836:
Iron, 404,687 lbs.
3 Castings, 232,169
636,856
The Company has not yet been able to fill the
’ orders for iron as fast as they were received; but
we understand they intend enlarging their works
i this year. . , .
\cil Factory. —Connected with the above estab
-3 lishment is a nail factory, which has been for some
time in successful operation. Last t ear thet made
1 179,919 lbs. of nails, which arc equal to any we
have ever examined; and-'hey sed them at d cents
, per lb., which we believe is at a lower rate than
> they can be delivered here from the North or else
.i " The rolling mill and nail factory are situated T
' nl q oc t he foree 3. and the furnace 21 miles above
’ SpartanbnrghC.H. These works are worthy of a
■ visit from the curious in such matters, who will meet
; with polite attention from the intelligent and gen
tlemanly agents in attendance at each place.
'I ho upper districts of this State arc intended by
nature for a manufacturing section of our country;
and from the great increase in that branch of indus
try within the last few years, wc should suppose iho
day not far distant, when our seemingly innumer
able, and in fact splendid water falls, will be en
tirely occupied by various manufacturing establish
ments. There are but few sections of the world
which offer suck inducements to the manufacturer
as onr healthy, fertile, mountain region; and capi
talists are beginning the understand the importance
ofthe location.

Whale Fisheries. —The following statement of the
importations of Oils and Whalebone into the United
States during the past year has been derived from
an authentic source and may be relied on for its
correctness. It will be perceived that the quantity
of Sperm Oil importel in 1836 is less by about 42,000
bbls, than the quantity of the same article imported
in the preceding year. The importation of VVltalo
Oil exceed those of 1835, only 9319 bbls. which is
considerably less than had been anticipated. The
quantity of Oil and Whale-bone imported during
the year, at an average of the prices at which it has
been sold, amounts to $6,589,394 40.
In January, 1830, Sperm < hi sold for 90 cents per
gallon, by the cargo, and in January, 1837, although
the quantity brought in is 42,000 bbls less, it is now
selling at the same rates, when almost every other
article of traffic has advanced in price about 25 per
cent.

BUSINESS OF TIIE HOUSE.
The House has been, during the last two days,
engaged in discussing a question as to what disposi
tion it would be proper to make of Mr. Adams, and a
certain petition ho has brought before the House.
Our reports will explain the state ofthe case.
The first day, it seems,was, in a groat degree con
sumed under the false idea that it was an abolition
petition front slaves ; as 3lr. Adams only spoke of it
as a petition front slaves, and inquired whether it
would pass, under the general order, to oblivion. It
turns out, we believe, (we have not seen it,) that it is
a petition from slaves, invoking Congress to expel
the abolitionists from rhe House, because they take
a course there calculated to rivet their chains. As
we passed through the House, we heard Mr. Ad
ams proclaim that those people had a right to peti
tion that “he should he expelled as anuisance." Tltis
position, which Mr. Adams no doubt thought was
giving a most extravagant latitude to IheJright of pe
tition, his course is well calculated to make the pua
lic consider not only a reasonable matter in theory,
but a necessary principle to be acted on. Wo have
no doubt such a petition (ifit were not for the pro
cedent) would find favor with a great majority of
the American people.
The present petition, we think it not improbable,
is either a hoax, or has been palmed upon Mr.
Adame with a view of answering the purpose to
which it is now applied. It is now worked upon
merely as a contrivance to keep tip excitement be
tween the tw o great sections of the country on the
slave question. Agitation on this subject in Con
gress, no matter how obtained, is the mode settled
upon to effect this object, by those factions and their
leaders who are disaffected to the Union. All the
exasperation produced in Congress or in the coun
try upon the slave question, has its origin in the
machinations of broken down and degraded politi
cians. Such men are certainly the greatest curses
ever visited upon a people. They are to a tuition
what old tale-bearing maids are to a village.
From the Baltimore American.
Mr. Rice, the celebrated “Jim Crow,” in a
; letter from England to his friend Mr. Maywood
! of Philadelphia, gives an account of the recep
tion of Mr. Forrest, by a London audience,which
docs great credit to his heart, and not a little to
I his head. In frankness it must be confessed,
j that the sentiments contained in the epistle of
| the father of the Ethiopian Operatic School, as
well as the style in which they arc conveyed, to
j say the least of them, arc more than equal to
what might have been expected. He remarks
to his friend —“you know as well as 1 do, the press
i of England cannot be influenced,” —and he is
I right. Let us say wfliat W’e will, there is no
j country in the world where the press exercises
; a more uncontrolled sway than in Great Britain.
| Fearless of power, and undaunted by the dread
i of popular excitement, it pursues its onward
I course, and lets the bolts ot its retributive ven
geance fall whenever and wherever occasion
may require. Should those in power dare to
trample under foot the rights of Britons, the
greater the elevation the more palpable marks
do they become for the shafts of satire, or the
i more serious but frequently less powerful at
-1 tacks of reason. The King on his throne is on
ly safe so far as may be indispensable for Iho
personal representative of the nation, nor are
his follies nor those of his courtiers permitted to
escape the castigation which they merit, at the
hands of propriety and common sense. Ou the
other hand, the fury of popular commotion may
exhaust itself, unheeded, as unfelt by those to
rj whose guardianship the palladium of British
' | rights is entrusted. Demagogues may rave, and
| agitators may elevate themselves, for a moment,
; amid the tumults of popular frenzies, but still
the press pursues its onward unshrinking course
amid the war of passions, steering its dauntless
1 way to the haven of public good. Are w r c asked
: | wdiy such is the case ? We answer, that it is
! because it is sustained by the intellect of the
country ; that power, beneath the irresistible in
, flueuce of which brute force has always quailed
. and must ever continue to succumb.
! SPECULATION AND PRESSURE.
, [From, ike Globe.]
SIGNS IN NEW YORK.
The following paragraphs from the New Y r ork
Sun, shed a flood ©flight on the troubles, not only
1 in that quarter, but throughout the Union. Mo
| nopoly and speculation in every thing, from the
public lands down to provisions, is the cause ol
all the just complaints we hear. A multitude
■ among us now turn all their industry andingen
-1 uity’ to the purpose of preying upon the laboring
classes :
. “ The mad ami uncontrolled spirit of specu
lation produced a state of pressure and embarrass
ment in the money market, that for a time threa
tened ruin to our commercial prosperity. But
the ominous aspect which every thing wore on
ly a few days since are rapidly changing to the
encouraging and enlivening hues of hope and
triumph. The packets which are now arriving
from Europe are freighted with uncommonly
large and rich cargoes, and our merchants with
their spacious stores swept and garnished are
waiting to receive them. The packet ship Penn
sylvania is said to have the richest cargo of
dry goods that has arrived at our port for years,
having been valued in Liverpool at more than a
i million of dollars.
1 “ It has been anticipated that the wholesale
| merchants, here, would find great difficulty in
1 collecting their demands of their country custo
; mers the ensuing spring, iu consequence of the
pressure. Wc are inclined, however, to believe
tiiat such will not bo the case. Iftlio country
merchant can collect readily of his customers,
who arc generally farmers, of course he will bo
able to meet all his debts here with promptness ;
and we do not see in what way the farmers in
the country, could be injured by’ the pressure.
In fact, is it not reasonable to suppose that the
pressure has been aggravated, by the fact of large
amounts of money lying idle in their pockets ?
It is known hy sad experience in the city, that
all the products of tie country, have command
ed an enormous priec. Provisions of all kinds
have been eagerly sought after by monopolists,
who would pay any amount for them, for the
purpose of controlling (he markets ; and the mil
lions of money thus jiaid away hy our specula
tors, have gone into the pockets ofthe farmers
throughout the country. If this view of the
case be correct, and \re sec no reason to doubt it,
our merchants will litd a new source of relief,
where they have expected further embarrass
ments. Their prospects arc looking up, while
those ofthe real estate speculators arc looking
down.
“As for the poor laborer who is obliged to pay
fourteen dollars for a barrel ol - flour, or a ton of
coal, and sixpence for a roll of bread as big as a
bird’s egg, to feed a large family of children,
we pity him ; his prospects arc gloomy. Wo
can only advise him to screw up his courage,
till this unnatural state of things shall work it
self straight. In due time these troubles must
pass away.

Scvttsborough, Geo. . •
IYHE exercises of this institution will b« resumed
. on .Monday, the 16th January, 1837.
From the llattering encouragement we have re
• cetved during the present year, we have made every
» exertion, and have succeeded in engaging the serf?
- ces of first rate teachers in the several departments
. of tho institution.—They bring with them testimo
-1 uiuls of religious character and literary attainments
3 from many of the most influential gentlemen in the
United States.
’ We have made arrangements to have a Steward's
5 Hall attached to the Institution, at the head of which
2 will be Mrs. D'ESTE, an elderly lady, whose do
-1 mestic habits and experience in the government of
1 young ladies, are very highly extolled. We have
f been led to this step, from the inconvenience which
, young ladies experience in going io and coming
3 Ironuhetr boarding bouses during inclement wea
ther; from the time they lose, owing to the domes
tic arrangements of other houses, not corresponding
3 .with our own; for the sake of having all thef a
lames, at all times, under the supervision o. tv
i teachers, as many of them are disposed to neglect
. their studies, and become careless of their manners
s a»d language when not subjected to such a check
and, finally, the teachers cannot feel themselves «s
responsible for those who board elsewhere, as for
- those who board with them. We no not wish to be
J understood as dictating to our patrons, but respect
; fully submit the above Lints to their sober conside
1 ration.
A contract has been made for having completed
early in the ensuing year, a Female Gymnasium, for
> physical education.
\ oung ladies who may desire to speak the French
’ language, will have uncommon advantages afforded
' them here. Mrs. D’Este was educated in France—
> is a lady ot superior accomplishments, and speaks
; French aud English with equal facility. The Prin
, cipal and his brother likewise speak the
