The Coolie Slave Trade. —The follow ing are the resolutions of Representatives in feference the Coolie Slave trade : On motion of Mr. 11. Marshal, of Ken tucky, Resolved, , That the Committeeon For eign Atfairs enquire into th: expediency of declaring the engagement of American ships in the Chinese Coolie trade to be il legal, and a cause of forfeiture to her cap tors of the ship engaged tlierin, and that they report by bill or otherwise. On motion of Mr. Pri iglc, of New York, Resolreel, That the President of the United States be requested to communi cate what information he may possess in regard to citizens of the United States be ing engaged in the slave trade, or in the transportation, in Americau ships, of Ooolies from China to Cuba, an 1 other countries, with the intention of placing or 1 continuing them in a state of slavery or servitude, and whether such traffic is not, | in his opinion, a violation of the spirit of i existing treaties, rendering those engaged ! in it liable to indictment for piracy, and j especially that he be requestc 1 to comma- 1 nicate to this House the facts and circura- • stances attending the shipment to Cuba of some five hundred Coolies, in the ship Sea Witch, of the city of New York, re cently wrecked on the coast of Cuba. Admitted to Practice. —T. Carter Moroe, of Campbellton, (la., was admitted by the Superior Court, now in session in this city, to practice in the several courts of law in Georgia. The Ball Game. —McGary. up before the magistrates on Monday, on charge of negro stealing, was identified by Thrasher of Georgia, as the person who, a month since, defrauded him of $4lO, l<_v means of "the Inti I and paper” and a-httle Irishman.” Mr. Wm. Lanier, of the Montgomery Hall, suspecting that Mac was the "Ball man.” had sent over to Georgia for Thrasher, who fully identified him. Mac was committed. —Montgomery Mail, Hth. Appro.vohi.no Marriaok of the Princess Royal. of Knoi.and.— It is now generally be lieved that Prince Frederick of Prussia and the Princess Royal of England will be married this year. The Evening Post says of these royal personages: ‘•Prince Frederick William Nicholas Charles of Prussia was born on the Ist of October. 1831, and is, consequently in his 25th year. He holds the commissio .sos Major, aln state. and Colonel proprietaire of other regiments in the Prussian service. He is the eldest son and heir of Frederick Wiiluini, Prince of I’rnss a, brother of the King,and heir to the throne.— Consequently, if the projected marriage shall takeplace.it maybe anticipated that the time is not far distant when the throne of Prussia will be occupied by a Princess of England. “The young lady whose hand is about to lie made the pledge of renewed amity with Prussia, her Royal Highness Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa, Princess Royal of England, was born at Buckingham Palace on the 21st November. 1840. and was baptized on the 16th of Febru ary following.” Prolific Neighborhood. —We could ment on a half-dozen instances known to us in Pickens, where a mother lias fifteen or twvrity chil Ten. But Greenville, in the person of John Bates, Sr., can bent all this 11c lias commenced, as our friend P. Ei Duncan once aid in a stump speech, his third dozen of children. One wife bore bun twenty-four,a nd till living ; she then died, and the old man took to him self a second wife, who had, some years ago, given birth to three more. How many since we know not. —Greenville (S. C.) Patriot. . Fatal Affray is Arkansas —On the 15th u!t., an affray occurred at Camden, Ark., which resulted in tl e death o Thom as B. Carrington, Esq., editor of the El Dorado (Ark.) Union. Mr. Carrington had visited Camden for the purpose of de manding satisfaction of Jas. A. Jones, ed itor of the Ouachita Herald, for some edi torial remarks of the latter paper. Jones refused to fight him, and Carrington came out iif the Herald office abusing him, when Mr. J .-lines T. Elliott, who was near the <iojC and heard the conversation between them, remarked to Carrington that as Jones had refused to light him ho would. Carrington immediately fired at Elliott with a pistol, and discharged three bar rels at him without effect, when Elliott returned the fire and killed him instantly. Elliot t then surrendered himself, under went am examination, and was acquitted. The affair produced great excitement in the neighborhood. Ail the parties, we believe, formerly liv ed in Alabama. Elliott is a sou ofGeorge W, Elliott, deceased, formerly of Craw ford, and Sheriff of Russell county, Ala. A Raii.ro/ d in Brazil. —The bail ting of si railroad from Rto de Janeiro to the coffee districts lias been commenced, and some portion of the track lias already been laid with heavy rails. The correspondent of the New York Herald says : “The grant is for DO years, and seven per ce,it. is guaranteed by the Imperial government for the caslt capital invested For 33 years. Tile dividends are made payable every six mouths. Tue entire distance is about 180 miles —the first 48 and last 115 miles are a dead level, and the intervening IT miles, although hilly, present no engineering difficulties, and the road is expected to lie finished in oue year from this date. Its advantages to tilt coffee market, of which the North Ameri cans are the best customer , will be im mense. The districts through which it runs are the richest and most populous coffee and sugar ditsricts of this interesting empire. Well Said — The Indian in his native condition, is no fool, as the fol owing anec dote related by a Washington correspon dent of the Baltimore Republic- u attests:— We met Col. Sam Stamboding to-d.y in the rotunda of the Capitol, and while wc were looking a4the curved representa tions over the door ways of the rotunda, the veteran Indian agent told us that in 1830, with a delegation of the Menominee Indians, he visited the Capitol and ex plained the nature and design of the stone groups in the rotunda, when the chief, “Grizzly Bar,” turned to the nearest door way, over which there is a representation of the Pilgrims, and said, “There, Ingen give white man corn;’ and to the north, representing Penn’s treaty. I here lu gen give urn land and on the west where Pocahontas is seen saving the life of Capt. Smith. “There* Itfgen uia lastly to the south, where the hardy pion eer, Daniel Boone, is seen plunging his knife into the heart of one red man, while his foot is planted on the dead body of another, “And there white man kill In gen,” Shooting Molten Iron.— This process consists of a hollow shot of any given cali bre, with a round hole or fuse on its side ; on the sides of this fuse are two purrallcl raised lines, grooved on the inner under sides of them, into which to side a piece of wrought iron to clean the fuse when the shell is filled. The inside of the shell must be coated with some substance, t<: prevent the molten iron from coming into contact with the iron of the shell. It can be fitted to any sized gun; when fil ed with molten iron it has the weight and form of a cold bah; when it strikes a solid body it will burst, and the molten iron is a thousand times more destructive than a hot shot. Art of Printing.—Mentz, in Germany, ! is entitled to the honor of being the b rth | place of printing. Strasburg and one or j two other eit es have I iid earnest claims I to the preference, but historians now gen erally concede it to Mentz. Guttenbur invented, and first used eparate letters or movable types in 1552. As early as 14 23, he had printed with lines cut on wood, but this was a small mechanical advance on what had been done for many years. Xylographic printing, or the taking of impressions fro ii wooden tallies on which letters or figures were engraved, had pre viously been practiced in Germany, and ■ was an eastern invention Guttcntmrga! first took impressions from his types by fastening them on a table, coloring them witli writing ink spreading the paper over them and pressing it with a rubber ot horn. Faust inv nted printing ink, and Gnttenburg constructed a rude printing press. Iron presses were earliest deploy ed by Lord Stanhope of England. Cut this oct. —A correspondent of the Lon don Literary Gazette, alluding to the numerous cases of deaths from accidental poisoning adds: "1 venture to affirm, there is scarce even a cot taire in this country that does not contain an in valuable, certain, immediate remedy forsuch events, nothing more than a dessert spoonful of made mustard, mixed in a tumbler ot warm wa ter and drank iin Mediately. It acts as ail emet ic. is always ready, and may be used with safety in any ease where one is required. By making this simple antidote known, you may be the means of saving many a fellow creature from an untimely end.” In the quarrel lietween th ■ Pennsylvani n n! Washington Union, touching Mr. Buei.ui.au, the latter paper charges the former with sup porting Mr. IS. “on the ground that as he has not been indentitied with the Nebraska bill, he would be inure acceptable to the t'ree-Soilish Northern Democracy'' Ho there is no such a tiling as Free-Sotl De mocracy —-no— Free Soihsli — that’s the dainty phrase—■•jFVee-Soilish Democracy!” — Don’t forget that phrase, /Yer Hoilish Democra cy.'” -Richmond Whig. Haw the AJui iiistra'ion Patronage goes at the, north. j Belfast. Me., Tuesday, March 11, 1856 ; To tie Editors of the New York Daily News — j j Ido not suppose the deluded individual who I ! occupies the White House reads your papers.; as he does not seem to have any more knowl-j edge of the antward world t liu : a Mandarin ol Yntchow; but there a # e thousands of .Southern Democrats who do, and they may he mterest led in knowing how tile patronage of tlie Ad | ministration is used in this quarter. At our j municipal election on Monday, (strictly a par ty contest.) the Custom House officers went the Abolition ticket. The fugleman of the concern stood by the side of the editor of the nigger ! paper, and distributed Abolition votes all day. j Tile Superintendent of the Custom House— Fierce's last appointment here—is elected on | the Abolition ticket to I lie Council —having I been nominated to be in a better position to ; deceive Democrats. Tlu- funds ol the Custom ! House were used in the contest.

Sag Night Rout in Co.nnkctii i t.—The re turns from this Statcsh .w that the Sag Niclits have been defeated, the opposition having elec ted a majority of both branches of the legisla ture, which secures to them the choice of the Governor, there being no election of that officer by the people. American Victory in Jersey City.—At the charter election held in this city on Tuesday last, the Americans elected their Mayor and a large majority of tiie remaining Corporation officers by handsome majorities. Begs Leave to Decline. —There is no end to tiie race of small men, and it is amusing to see how some of these pigmies swell, upon the approach of a presidential nomination. The latest joke of the season >s a long letter from Gideon J Pillow, declining a nomination, on the ticket with Buchanan. Ibr the Vice Presi dency! This is the veritable Gideon of "Cumar go Ditch ” memory, and who. according to his own account, was “shot all to pieces” in the Mexican War. Tue sacrifice is great, but we hope our democratic friends will lie compassion ate and let Gideon off. —•Suvxnnah Republican. Mr. Buchanan and thk Nebraska Biil.— i’lu- Washington Star says: Among the Democrats the most interesting topic of discussion just now is the portion ol ilie letter of Mr. Buchanan upon the Nebraska question, recently published m the Union, which Mr. Hlidell did not communicate to the public. All sorts of stories concerning it are atinat.— It is to be legreteil that Mr. S. failed to pub lidi the entire letter, us the surmises und rum ors relative to it arc producing a state of feel ing, on the part of many N'ebraskn-bill men. such as will be with difficulty allayed. The most reliable uceount we have heard is. that the distinguished writer declares therein, lie would have voted against the Dill because i' repealed the Missouri Compromise. An important bill has been brought into the English Parliament by the government, and which, being supported by Lord Derby, is like ly to pass into a law. Twice in every year the Poor Law Board is to furnish a return indica ting the food supply of the country from har vest to harvest. The first return in the b gin ning of June, is to lie a statement of (acts, showing the average devoted to each discrip tion of crop, and the amount of live stock on each farm. The farmer is to be compelled to report. The second return is to lie made after harvast, and is to consist of an estimate of the probable yield of the crops. These reports will be of great use as a guide to operations iu our market*. KITEBT FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER.

Liverpool Market.—Liverpool, March 29.— Cotton. —The market is quiet and un changed.

Peace. —-The accomplishment of peace is not, yet concluded, but it is announced that all difficulty is our, and the treaty will be signed in a few days SECOND DESPATCH. The steamer America arrived out on the 26tli ultimo, and the Baltic on the 28th. The deliberations of the Conference on the 27th alt., it is said, were important. It is con fidently believed that the treaty of peace will tie signed on the 24tli. Napoleon expected a final settlement sooner, and hud ordered the guns of tiie Invalides fired, and announced the conclusion of peace at the same t'me. There was a grand TeDeuni celebration of the birth of the Prince of Algiers. Prussia’s claims are earnestly resisted by Clarendon, which caused the delay—Clarendon prevailed and it was arranged that, the Allies should sign one Protocol, and that the second should be drawn and signed by the Allies and Prussia jointly. The London Times dislikes the demonstra tions in favor of peace, and intimates that the people of England will be discontented with the terms of the armistice if not j ositively prolong ed. but telegraphic dispatches sent states not to renew hostilities without express orders. Tim Philadelphia Tornado. —Accounts continue to be received of the great damage • aused by the tornado. Two trains of cars, loaded witli freight, were blown off the truck. A lady was killed in West Chester by a shut ter. limum ruble houses and barns were un roofed. At Cleveland the storm of Saturday night did immense damage—fifteen houses were de molished. ami one man killed. The Washington Union learns that the Pres ident has just ordered by proclamation two pub lic laud sales to be held at the Sauit Ste. Marie and Duncan land offices in Michigan—the sales to commence on Monday, July i4, and on Mon day, August-4th next, rcspecsively, on which days about six hundred thousand acres of exeel lent land will be disposed of. AH of this land, with the exception ot a few small islands, s sit uated in the upper or northtni peninsula of the State, (on the Esconawba, Mcnoniiiie and oth er rivers.) and west of Kee-wee-naw bay. eu ! bracing, it is said, some of the finest timber land in the Upper Peninsula. Passengers for Nicaragua. —New York, April B—The steamer Orizaba sailed lienee tor Nicaragua to-day with five hundred passen gers. after being detained an hour by the Uni ted Slates Marshal. That officer arrested three of those on board for alleged violation of the neutrality laws. No rain, according to the Racine (Whs.) Democrat, lias fallen there for 106 days. The New Haven Journal says the Democrats in that State are opening schools to teach Irish men to read, that accomplishment being now requisite in order to secure the right to vote. Col. Benton, it is said, declares his prefer ence for Justice Wayne, of the Supreme Court, for the Presidency. Mr. Wm Crittenden, of Spalding county, was robbed a few nights ago, on the Macon & Western Road, of Si .800, the thief having, without his knowledge, administered chlorofoain to him. The Passenger Railroads in New York cily —-tiie Second. Third, Sixth and Eighth avenue —repoit that they carried during the past year the enormous number of 17.933,302 passengers averaging 49.159 per day. which, at 4 cents each (deducting the other for dead heads) gave them an income of $3,266 36 daily. This shows what a great public convenience-city passenger railroads are. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL. Council Chaubi a Atlanta. Ga , ( April 11th, 1860. f Council met. Present. Hon. Wm. Ezzard.

Died, in this city, of Pneumonia, at the resi dence of bis son, G. (V. Adair, Esq., oil Wednes day the 16th inat., Mr. Jno. F. Aijaik, aged 71 years. The deceased was a native of Laurens District. .8. C.. and removed to DeKalb county, Ga., in 1826, and resid 'd in this vicinity until his death. He was an exemplary and faithtul member of the Bible Christian Church, and was also a Master Mason. Though more than three score and ten years had “set their signet on his brow,” he en joyed up to the hour of his last illness, the elac ticity and vigor of youth. None enjoyed a more liberal share of the good will of their fellow-men than did "Uncle Jack.” and none were more rea dy to relieve the distresses of the unfortunate, or to sow the se< ds of kindness and love. He left no blemish behind ; and his path of life, though trailing through many wiary and trying years, bears no way side marks of deviatiou from integrity or the strictest obligations of man to man. Urbane, generous and honest be lived calmly and serenely his spirit wafted to its bliss ful and eternal abode. He was never intoxicated with ardent spirits, nor was ever heard to swear an oath. He leaves three Sons aud three Daugh ters besides many other relatives and a host ol frieuds to remember him in the grave. e. COMMERCIAL. WECILI REPO RT. •Atlanta, April 17th, 1856. COTTON.—The market for this staple geiierallyremaizs without much variation. From late European accounts it would seem that the Liverpool Market has not yet advanced to correspond with Markets on this side of the Water. We quote for our Market the same as last week, 9a 10 1-4 extremes. Some few fine bales sold as high 10 3-8 cents. BACON.—The sales of this article has been such as to keep the dealers quite busy, making total amount of sales for the week some 100.- 000 lbs. Prices have stiffened a little. Nine cents was offered for 100,000 lbs., hog round, and refused. We quote 9 1-4 a 9 1-2 cents hog round ; Shoulders 8 1-2 ; Sides 10 cents. The receipts have been about equal to the sales.— The stock, therefore, remains good. One pret ty large lot has been received directly Irom Louisville. Kentucky. Every day seems to demonstrate tiie superiority of Atlanta over every other point in the State as a Bacon aud Grocery Market. GRAIN AND FLOUR.—The stocks in this line are quite heavy, and go off quite freely, and at satisfactory prices. But little alteration since last week. Other branches of trade are on a moderate scale. The following is a fair index to tiie value ol leading articles: Sugar, brown lOnll, clarified llal2,loai and crushed 13a 14 cents. Bcrmi, fresh, per Hi. 15a20.

GEORGIA, Fulton County —We, the un dersigned, Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn to serve during the first week of the Superior Court of said county, at April Term. 1856, re spectfully submit ihe following presentments: The various committees, appointed to ex- i amine the books of the Clerks of the Stqierior 1 and Inferior Courts, also of the Ordinary, Sheriff Treasurer, as also of the Tax Receiver and Collector, for the county, have uniformly reported to this body the extreme neatness and correctness with which their several books have been kept, commending in high terms the in dustry and care of the various incumbents in the discharge of the duties appertaining to their several offices. In connection with this subject we feel disposed to congratulate our fellow cit izens upon having secured the services of such efficient officers. We recommend that our Tax Collector. T. j B. Daniel, be allowed the sum of two hundred j and forty-eight dollars and seventeen cents of State Tax. and the sum of four hundred and j ninety-six dollars and thirty-four cent of conn • ty tux on account of Insolvent list, exhibited and by us approved. Also that the various tax fi fas against such insolvent tax payers, when handed over to the County Treasurer, shall be by him sent to the magistrates of the > several districts in which the defendants res de, j with instructions to press the collection of such fi fa in all cases in which collection can be made j without cost to the county ; and that all such j as cannot be collected previous to the next elec tion to be held iti the county, should be at such election placed on the desk of the manager, that all delimiters may he debarred Irom voting un til tiieir several taxes are paid. And in this connection we take pleasure in testifying to the energy aud ability which our ('ounty Treasurer, Mr. Robert M. Clarke, bus manifested in the collection of the amount of seventy-six dollars and four cents upon insolvent list returned to ' him by the Tax Collector for the year 1855. We recommend an assessment upon the ag gregate amount of State Tax, for county use and other purposes, as follows : For County purposes—fifty (50) per cent. For Jury fees—twenty (20) per cent. For Jail expenses—eighty (80) per cent. For Paupers—fifteen (15) percent. And we would here earnestly recommend to tin Justices ot the Inferior Court that they shall roque t the magistrates of the various districts in our county to render them a list of the names ol persons in their respective dis tricts who are entitled, by reason of their re spective districts who are entitled, by reason of tiieir indigence, to a distributive share of the tnnd set aside for Paupers, and to what extent each is so entitled ; that the Justices of the In terior Court, when such returns are so render ed. order into the hands of such magistrates the several sums apportioned to each pauper, to be distributed at such times and in such quan tities as the necessities may require. In consequence of the large assessment which has become necessary to defray the expenses ol building a jail iti our own county, and believing that our cil'zens generally are anxious for its speedy completion, and a consequent relief in some degree from the heavy taxation which they have hitherto been compelled to bear, we w ould recommend that the former assessment of l wen ty-five (25) per cent, for poor school purposes tie again made for the present year, not with standing the officer in charge of this fund, in consequence of a large increase in the number of poor children returned to him during the past year, deems an assessment of a larger per cent, necessary. | We Imre by committee examined into ah matters touching oar county jail, now tieing erected, and find that so far as the work Im progressed, it has been done in conformance to the draft and specifications exhibited. Theap parent delay in its completion has grown out ol the inside preparations of the cells, which at - now, however, nearly finished. These evils we believe w ill be found secure, and at the same tune well ventilated—for which we think nine>> credit is due to our draftsmen and contractors. We would rei-ommend to the Justices of the Inferior Court t at they should have the jail lot enclosed with a good und substantial close wood paling. For want of time and opportunity, we have not endeavored to inquire into the mutter of the escape of prisoners sent from thiseomity to DeKalb county jail. We would therefore re spectfully suggest to the next Grand Jury for this term, that they inquire into the matter, aud if they find the jail insecure, or that there has been culpable neglect on the part of the jailor there, that they should at least reenm metnl the confinement of prisoners from this county in the jail of some other contiguous county. We would respectfully ask of the Justices of the Inferior Uourt. that they pay more atten tion to the condition of public roads in our county, they having been made by law the guardians of tiie public interest, we truly hope that by reason of their neglect the whole public will no longer be made to suffer. All other matters of public interest not hero presented, and into which we have been unable to look, we would respectfully submit to the succeeding Grand Juries for the next term oi tli is Court. In taking leave of His Honor. Judge Bull, we would respectfully U nder him our acknowl edgements for the faithful discharge of his du ties. and courteous action to our body, and to our .Solicitor General. Mr. Bleckley, for the prompt and impartial discharge of his duties. \Ve r commend that these presentments be published iu the city papers. WM. W. ROARK. Foreman. Columbus Hughes, John R.
