The orator at. the same lime taking occasion to inform the applauding assembly that he himself is not a Frenchman.

It appears to us that even m this case, Mr. Preston will scarcely suffer by a comparison with ilia instruction makers.

INSTRUCTIONS. Mr. Johnston.—l send you for publica tion tlio subjoined extract from the speech id' the late lamented and highly respected Gov. John Taylor, of our State, delivered in the Senate of the United States, in favor of u United States Bank, SiOtli Feb., IHJI. The part extracted relates to instructions, and (lie sentiments contained I recommend respect fully to the uulico of Messrs. Albert lilioll, F. W. Davie; and their 00-adjntors in our Le gislature, ami to F. H. Elmore, 11. Barnwell Khett, and their sub-Treusiiry associates in Congress. “1 cannot, as other gentlemen have hoSSlcd they cun, pul my hand into my drawer, and pull out the instructions hy which 1 , m to he directed on tins important subject. "The State of South Carolina is a very large stockholder in some of her Slate Banks; and if a sellish policy, contracted to the nar row sphere of tim unique advantage m del. Jars and cents of the Government of that 6tale, in contradistinction and disregard ol the interests of the great body of her own ci tixens, and the citizens ol the rest, of the States in the Union, could have weighed a 1 moment with her Legislature, I too might have been instructed. Lot me not be under stood, Mr. President, ns drawing any compari son between the conduct ol the Stale of South Carolina and the conduct ol great and leading • Stales who have acted otherwise; but 1 must and will tell of the things that Ido know. I rejoice, sir, that the State that 1 cornu from has, m tins instance, been actuated hy that magnanimity and palriolisw w inch on all bu rner occasions has distinguished her conduct; that neither selfish ness, nor parly rage, nor a spirit of intolerance, has mducud her to comm teract or embarrass the National Legislature, in its pursuit of the great object of us insti tution, the good of the whole. "I hopu u will not bo considered as savor ■ mg of egotism, when i say, that my appoint ment to the very honorable station I now hold was unsolicilou by me. That my sentiments on the subject now under consideration, had been, by me, unequivocally espresssed at. the last session of Congress, and wore well known to those who appointed me;* nay, further, alter my venerable and respected predecessor, (Gen. Sumter,) hud resigned Ins seat hero, and had also iloolincd his appointment for the ensuing six years, pending the election of a successor to linn, and whtn my name was la id in nomination, a resolution was ofj'eicd, simi lar to those which we haee htaul so much talk about,proposing to instruct the Senators of that Stale to oppose the renew al of the char ter of the limit of the United Stales. This resolution, us I am informed, lay on the Spea ker’s table when the election was gone into. I was elected, and the proposers ol the reso lution bad not power or mllnenco enough to raise it from the table on which it luy, and n died still born at the end of the session!" When tins venerable and noble.spirited old gentleman was thus vindicating the title ol hie State to ‘magnanimity and patriotism,' and from * selfishness, party rage, and a spirit of intolerance,’ in 1811, how little could he supposed that, ol those most forward in depriving her of tier title to these high at • tributes m 1638, the most '.eaions would be connected with him by the dost st lies ol af finity 11 have employed the wouls .(/ and forwardness as apt to designate my meaning in the above mid 1 have not dou it ißlbtMpirit of detraction, ii is but justice to the'pre-eminence which Mr. Davie ha quired, to make tlio efforts of any of ins no complices in no otherwise remarkable than tor ital and forwardn ss.

Launch of Life Boat. —On Saturday the i fine life boat placed by private subscription at Ilockaway, for the relief of llie shipwrecked, II was for the first lime, pul into tlio ocean. d Tina boat as many ofonr readers may re >• ineinlior, was built soon after the disastrous '’i wrecks of the Bristol and Mexico—mainly, it n Is only justice to state, through the instrumeu -0 tuhly of.l Blunt Esq , who look a warm inter e est and an uclive part both in obtaining the 11 requisite (unds, and in superintending the con ’’’ strneltoii of the bout. It is now about 8 iiiouilis since she was completed, and with all the necessary accessories, placed in a boat , house opposite llie Pavillion on Rockaway ‘ beach. 0 On Saturday, some of the visiters at the v Pavilion, among whom was Mr. Blunt, with j the aid of several oftho experienced boatmen ’• of Rockaway, put this boat to the proof hy le launching her into the surf, which though not ,e heavy was under llie intiueiice of a soulheast v trly breeze of considerable power, ic Hite went otl’in beautiful style—albeit that 0 several of Iho amateur oarsmen cut fantastic ic tricks with lln ir oars. Enough of the o.xpe of rienced stiitf however, was there to give iho s- sufficient impulse, and she rode llie breakers g. witli Iho buoyancy of an egg shell, and prov v- ed as light on her steering oar and others, us a boat of half her size. After pullinir out some distance, the mast was stopped, and she 11 was tried under canvass. Having made these 1.1 preliminary experiments the party relumed lo 'I dinner, having engaged for mi I.afternoon ex ! cursion, a regular crew of Molls, HewUtts, 1 Riders, Cornells, and others, the immemorial 'J tenants and wreckers of Rockaway. 1 Accordingly at ,‘i I‘J o’clock Hie boat was \ again iiiaiiiieil—but this time really manned— l_ and she shot off through llie breakers as . though it was smooth water, and careered ,[ owr the waves almost With the lightness and I, speed el'u race boat. After a row of several it-! miles, and another trail of her sailing h | qualities, her head was again directed to i. i the beach, and there, within the rollers, or ul - breakers, every opportunity was sought of up io : sotting her, if slu,- could be upset, but all to no J, purpose. Whether bow on or broadside on, a- she rode above it without taking iu a drop ol ■h j water, or losing her poise and was finally rim e. | up high and dry, w.th the convictions of all '• j on board, that manned with stout arms and a j stout hearts, no weather should prevent tins | boat from venturing to the rescue of any shin in .1 tress.

The splendid steam packet Neptune was sold | at pt'hlic auction on Wednesday, and knocked down for iho sum of $50,600. A number of the former stockholders become the purchasers, and have formed a new company. We copy the following remarks from the New y ork Evening Star, of the 12lh, relative’ to the resumption of the Southern and Western Banks: “ We perceive from the Philadelphia papers that the Philadelphia Banks, desirous of making the resumption general, will adopt no measures to try to foico those banks into a ptcmalure re sumption. They must manage their concerns in their own way—it is not our business or our province to find tault with their proceedings, and in truth no one finds fault here excepting those who hope to make a half per cent by punching the hanks into a resumption heforo they are ready. The illegal and despotic acts of the ad ministration caused a suspension of specie pay ments—the war against the banks is still con tinued, and while political traitors secretly play into the hands of government to force the hanks into a resumption to answer some shaving pur poses, the hanks have nothing to fear by pursu ing a sale course to ensure a continuance after they shall have commenced paying their notes in specie. Lot every slate manage its own concerns.” 'J he appropiatiou by Congress, for the protec tion of the Northern Frontier, is six hundred and twenty live thousand five hundred dollars, for the pay of volunteers and militia which it may hy found necessary to call out.

Ho plunged j into the water, and for a while, buffeted the waves ’ with a lusty stroke. 11 is wife, one of the tenants 1 j of the raft, watched his exertions with an mix* ions eye and a heating heart. He seemed on the point of succeeding in his gallant but perilous enterprize. All at once, however, bis progress t appears to be arrested. His efforts grow fainter , I and fainter. He is evidently stru >gling to keep himself upon the surface. Ills strength fails him. ; He sinks, and the waves hide him from the fond f gaze of his distracted wife, forever. The object i | which he look for a sail was Major Heath’s raft, j j and it is supposed that, when he came near eiu j ough to discover his mistake, his spirit and his ' j strength failed together. —Haitimove Chron. t I I j Awkl'i.

After the Orator of the day had closed his i address, they commenced firing salutes. The cartridges were placed in a box under the cannon and, after the first lire, a spark was comrnunicat, ed to the powder, by some means or other, and a tertiiblc explosion was the consequence. About , 25 persons are said to have been burnt very badly; the lives of five or six were at the time despaired 1 of, but we have since heard that they arc improve ■ ing. The eye sight of one man, it is thought, f is entirely destroyed.— Gazette. WILMINGTON, July 13. Pulaski. Wo stated, in our paper before the last, that we were taking measures, winch wo thought calcu lated (o fasten the awful responsibility of the loss of the Pulaski upon the shoulders which should hear it. Since then, our unwillingness to injure upon , suspicion, or to bring serious and damning chars ges against the humWcst of God’s creatures, with' out sufficient proof, has induced us to trace out the thousand and one rumours connected with the loss of this boat, (all of which tended to in , culpate one individual.) The result is, that wc i do not think the evidence is such as would war' rant us in arraigning him at the bar of public opinion. We are indisposed either to ‘mitigate justice,’ or to ilo a wrong to a follow being . which years of repentance could not repair. As wc value the public good, therefore, and our 3 own happiness, we must be wary how wc permit } crime to go unpunished or lightly to impeach any man with so grave a charge. Wo here promise, however, to make diligent inquiry, and I swear to make true presentments of any criminal ity which may come to our knowledge in the irio vestigation of this distressing aifair. Wo would have deemed it unnecessary under the circumstances of the case, to have said thus much, had not our article, already referred to, been copied into papers North and South, and public expectation been thereby, aroused to hear what wc had to say.— Advertiser.

Our readers have not forgotten the contru versy between Georgia and Maine, m regard to a demand made by the former on the latter lor the delivery, as fugitives from justice of the captain and mate of a vessel who were charged and indicted in the Chatham Court lor having carried a slave from Savannah con-’ trary to the laws of Georgia. The demand was made last summer by Gov. Schley, and compliance refused by Gov. Dunlap, of Maine. The subject was then referred to the Legisla ture ol Georgia, by a message from the Cover nor, and resolutions, passed instructing him to renew the demand and m the event of a refu sal, ho was required to issue his proclamation to the people of the State, calling on them to e ect delegates to a convention, to delermmu “what Georgia was next required to do.”— These resolutions passed both houses of the Legislature unanimously. The ShcrfTof Savannah is now in Augusta (Me ) making the demand. Gov. Dunlap’s objection to delivering up the men, was that required forms of law had not been complied with. Os course the defects of the former have been remedied in flic present ot c. Hut Governor Kent, (says the Kennebec Journal.) will not deliver up the men. The Sheriff will soon return with his answer, and we suppose, adds that paper, it will bu published in Georgia and made the subject of further action in the Legislature of that Stale. Wo understand, continues the Journal, that the Governor con tends that the case ol Kelleran and others is not such a one as is provided lor in the Con stitution ol the U. S. where fugitives from jus tice in one State are liable to ho redeemed in another, that in fact the evidence is wholly wanting to show that they are fugitives from justice. —New York Expressed inst, COMMERCIAL.
