(£j" In our paper of the 15th, 16th, and 17th inst., an advertisement signed by Jules D’Autel appeared, charging the lobbcry of his store upon Mr. Thomas S. Mood. We take pleasure in ma king it known, in justice to Mr. Mood, and to truth, that no causes of suspicion now rest upon him, and regret that our columns should have been made the medium of circulating so very foul and unfounded a calumny against hiu* and call the notice of the public to the adver tisement of Mr. D’Autcl in this morning’s paper. Papers which were requested to copy Mr. D’Au tel’s advertisement, will please copy his adver tisement in this day’s paper. New York City Election . The election for Mayor and Aldermen was closed on Thursday evening, the 11th. Mr. \a rian, the Van Huron candidate for Mayor, is elected over Mr. Clark, the Whig candidate, by a majority of 1059. The whole number ofvotes given was 41,280. The election for Aldermen and Assistants has resulted in the choice of Van Buren candidates in twelve wards, and of Whigs in five wards ma king a Van Buren majority of seven in each Board. Central Rail Road. The Savannah Georgian of Wednesday states that this road is now complete, and in daily use to the 7.) mile station. It is graded for upwards 40 miles beyond this point, but the process of laying the superstructure is slow. We have as surances from tnc Chief Engineer, a point in Bu kc county, 80 miles distant from Savannah, will be reached and in use in the month of June, and that every effort will be made to complete it to the crossing of the Ogechee, 101 miles from Savannah, by the Ist November. Now, it ap pears to us, that if proper arrangements were made by the company, of store houses, agents &c., at the 80 mile station, great inducements would be offered to our fellow citizens of the in terior to send their fall supply of goods by the Rail Road to that point, and thence to be wagoned to their place of destination; and we would re mark to our fellow citizens of the interior, that at that point they would be within 311 miles of Lou isville, 20 of Waynesboro, 60 of Augusta, 60 or 70 from Sparta, Milledgeville and Sandersville, and not over 100 miles from Macon, and great expense and delay in getting their produce to market would be as great. We earnestly recom mend this subject to all concerned, under the full belief that this road needs only to be used, to be duly appreciated as it deserves. For the Chronicle Sentinel. Mb. Joshs: —A writer in your paper of yes terday alleges that the sketch which appeared in a late number of the Mirror is not lounded in truth, and that we have misstated facts for the purpose of making ourself the hero oi our own story.— ha reply to his very uncourteous insinuations we would remark, that the sketch alluded to is literal ly a true story, in all its principal details—a mere recital of an incident which did occur, and we challenge the writer or any of his “ living wit* nesses” to controvert a single prominent fact stated. Until he shall do so, and until we are convinced that there is some shadow of pretext for his accusations, we shall consider his covert attack upon the character of a private individual as base and wanton as it is contemptible and mean. Our sketch was not given as history, and if in the course of the detail any tiivial fact may have been overlooked, or misstated, it would, by every candid mind, be attributed tojthe error of recollection, or the poor opportunity enjoyed by a private in the ranks of detailing minutely the movements of a body of men in a hammock, and not as the writer would insinuate, to a disposition to " swerve from the truth.” As to the conspicuous position of ourself in the sketch, which seems so much to excite the gen tleman’s envy, we would remark, that he is quite Welcome to all the laurels won by us on that oc casion; and if he will give us his name we will introduce him into some much more brilliant ex ploit, anJ hand him down to posterity not only 5s a champion of truth but as a hero of the first rdcr, ED. MIRROR. From the Charleston Courier of yesterday. Commercial l onvention. Charleston, April 17, 1839. The Convention met at 10 o’clock, A. M. ■ The minutes of the previous met ting were read, j The following additional delegates appeared and | - registered their names. SOUTH CAROLINA. Colleton District. —R. B. Rhett, D.K. Whita- | ker.

MISSISSIPPI. f Hanson Alsbury. .*§ Und.tr the resolution, adopted by the conven tion, on the 16tb inst., the Hon. Hanson Alsbury, of Mississippi was appointed by the t hair a Vice President of the Convention, and took his seat accordingly. Col. Arthur P. Hayne offered the following resolution, prefaced by an animated address, in wiiich he shewed the good already done by previ ous conventions, illustrated their tendency to unite the South socially, and commercially, and above all on that great issue on which hung the welfare of the South and the harmony and dura tion of the Union. K.solved, That this Convention recommend to the people of the Southern and South-Western States, to appoint Delegates to meet in Conven tion at Macon, in the State of Georgia, on the first Monday in May, 1840—to continue to present the interests and objects of this Convention before the people—and that separate and distinct Com mittees for each State and Territory represented, be appointed by tire President of this Convention, whose duty it shall be to take all proper measures to secure a full representation from every part of those States—and whose duty it shall also be to attend the meeting of the Legislatures of their re spective States, for the purpose of promoting by all proper and honorable means the objects of this Convention. The resolution was seconded by Mr. J. Cowles, of Macon, and adopted by the Convention. On motion of Gen. Hayne, the Convention took up the resolutions reported by the Com mittee of twenty one. Judge Longstreet rose, and, after enlarging on the necessity of action, in addition to delibera tion and discussion in Convention, in order to effect the great object of a Southern Direct Trade with Europe, offered a series of additional reso lutions. The resolutions reported by the Committee were then taken up ser,atim, and all adopted nem con., and without discussion, except the last, in relation to the revival of the Southern Kevicw, on. which an animated and eloquent debate, ofa wide range, and embracing as well the general object* of the Convention as the particular subject of the resolution took place. Those who took part in the discussion against the resolution, wore Messrs. Longstreet and Mil ler, of Augusta; Stephens, of Cjawfordville, and Felder, of South Carolina—those who spoke in favor of the resolution were, Messrs. Harper, Blanding, Preston, Hamilton, R. Y. Hayne and Whitaker of S. Carolina. Dearing, Campbell, of Georgia, Pollard, of Alabama, Jarnaghin, of Ten nessee, Hale of North Carolina, Alsbury of Mis sissippi, and Mills, of Florida. The opponents of the resolution only objected to acting on it as a convention. Messrs. McCoan and BeiLlKonn, of South Carolina took a middle course. The question was first put on the motion of Mr. McCord to lay the resolution on the table, and the vote, being taken by States, was given inianimobsly in the negative—the vote of Geor gia being decided by a majority of one. The question was then taken on the adoption of the resolution, as amended by Col. Blanking and the same was adopted in the following shape: Bth. That in the opinion of this Convention the establishment of a Southern Review, under the direction of utile and learned men, to be faith fully devoted to the promotion of science and lit erature, and also to the defence of the instil u tutions, the vindication of the rights and the dc velopement of the resources of the Slave-holding States, is an object of the deepest interest, and one which should command the cordial co-opcra tion and support of every citizen of these States ; and that a Committee of Nine be appointed to carry the object of this resolution into effect. The President appointed the following Com mittee under the foregoing resolution : Committee on the revival of the Southern Re view : Messrs. Hugh S. Legare, R. Y. Hayne. W. C. Preston. Stephen Elliott, South Carolina; A. B. Longstreet, Geo.; James Gadsden, Florida; J oh'. H. Crozier, Tennessee; Edward J. Hale, N. Car olina; Charles T, Pollard, Ala. On motion, the Convention then adjourned to meet again at 10 o’clock, A. M., to-morrow. RICHARD YEADON, Jr., Secretary, From the Southern Recorder. Penitential y, Messrs. Editors:— lam aware that objec tions will be made to the removal of the Peniten tiary on account of the expense. This will cer tainly be the most formidable objection, and it is not only reasonable, but wise, that a strict regard should be had to economy in legislation upon all subjects touching the public interest. It will also be admitted, that it would be equally wise and proper, that future results should be carefully looked into. Then a question will arise, whether or not a change of location will not in the end prove benefi cial both to the State and Penitentiary. The present wall around the buildings is a trifling crazy concern, the bricks in the lower part of n are mouldering away, and will in a few years be so dilapidated as to require a new wall; one side is now sprang near a foot and a half, and in all probability, will full down in a few years. The arena contained in it, at this time is entirely too small; there cannot be an additional workshop, nor any kind of a building erected more than is here. The apartment used as a hospital for the sick, with the present number of prisoners, is too small, and there is no room to make any addition, the present workshops are not only too small, bui are badly arranged, badly constructed, and very insecure from fire. The number of blacksmith furnaces, arc not sufficient to keep pace with the other departments, no room to add any more, and what is are so constructed that there is constant danger of their taking fire; indeed, they do now often take fire, but from the constant vigilance exercised over them, i, has been discovered and extinguished before any serious injury has been done. The wood shops arc so crowded that we have not room for an additional work bench, and the number of prisoners are constantly increasing, so that when a new hand comes, we are at a loss to know where to put him, so that he can be of any profit to the Institution. It is also absolutely necessary that there should be a large lumber house built lor the preservation of timber and manufactured articles, which will cost several thousand dollars; and if the Peniten : tiary remains here, in a few years the yard will j have to be enlarged at a very considerable expense. These facts have been mentioned to show that if the Penitentiary remains where it is, a heavv expense must be incurred to prepare for future operations. If the Penitentiary was removed the bricks in the wall, would sell for a large amount of money, the workshops might lie dispo sed of to mechanics, or the materials sold as would be thought most advisable; there would perhaps be a greater loss in the disposition of the cell buil ding, in proportion to its value, than any other property connected with the Penitentiary. The land belonging to the institution, would ass ,rd a number of valuable building lets, that would, no doubt, meet with ready sale, for it is de. cidedly the most beautiful part of Milledgeville lor private dwellings. In the construction of a new Penitentiary the walls could be built of more durable and substantial materials, and of sufficient height and upon a plan, that would not require as many guard—the work shops could be nude more secure, more convenient, and so arranged, that the prisoners would be classed off and kept separate. A great improvement might be made in the ceiibuilding. If removed to the up-ioun try, where living would be much cheaper, the salary of the officers and guard, could with pro priety, be reduced. Taking into consideration the expense ofma king improvements necessary to keep the Institu tion in operation where it now is, also the amount that would arise from the sale of the Penitentiary property, and the advantages of a different loca tion. by reducing the annual expense, the pre sumption is strong there would be a great saving to the State in the end, at any rate it is a subject that should receive the attention of the Legisla ture.

KeMAIIKABLE STATUE OP Jf.REMT BeNTHAM. —Dr. Southerwood Smith, of Southampton, (Eng.) to whom Jeremy Uentham bequeathed his body, lias, it appears, embalmed the same, and taken from it a perfect cast of the original, seated in his chair, with his flowing locks, antique cos tume, &c. An article is going the rounds of the papers abroad that Sir John Harvey saved the life of General Scott at I 'hippewa, some time during the last year. This is a misapprehension; Scott saved Harvey’s life at that time and place. We notice that in a public meeting recently held in London, the private debts in Great Britain are down at $20,000,(>00,000!!! Arc honest man I—A few years ago Mr. John Ray, of Sunderland, finding his circum stances to be in a state of embarrassment, called bis creditors together, and after laying his affairs before them, compounded with them for ton shil lings in the pound. Some of Mr. Kay’s friends, believing him to he an honest man, assisted him again to commence business, which he has since prosecuted with so much success thaton Wednes day he invited his creditors to dine with him, and receive their debts in full, with interest from the date of his composition ! This last the creditors unanimously refused to accept; and, further, to mark their deep sense of Mr. Ray’s honoiable conduct, entered into a subscription to purchase for him a suitable testimonial of their high admi ration of his rare integrity.— Sunderland Herald. Commeiu'lal enterprise. —During the do mination of Bonapate, sugar, coffee, tobacco, cotton-twist, &c. were sent by sea from London to Salonica, in (Euiope, Turkey,) whence these goods were carried on horses and mules across Servia and Hungary, into the whole of Germany, and even into France; so that goods were con sumed at Calais, coming frem England, only seven leagues distant, which goods have made a circuit equivalent, as far as expense went, to a voyage twice round the world.

New York, April I3lh.— Cotton. —During the past three days there has been some increase of an imation equally forborne use and exportation. In consequence of the very small proportion of the stock that has been ottering, an improvement of about 1-4 of a cent on last week’s rates has also been realized in the transactions that have lakcn place. The accounts from Liverpool,received yes terday, have as yet produced no other effect here than tp strengthen the inclination of holders to await the advices anticipated per Great Western.— The sales comprise 650 bales Upland at 13 a 15 1-2| 60(1 do Mobile, 13 1-2 a 17; 350 do New Orleans, 13 a 16 1-2; and 650 Florida, 13 3-4 a 15 l-2;form i ig a total for the week of fully 3300 ba cs. The arrivals have been—from Mississippi, 1040 hales.

In the market there has been rather less anima tion since our last, though prices generally may he considered the same as then noticed. Common brands of Westen Canal we quote#B 25 a f 8,37A, sa es, in some instances, having hecn made at the former rate. For Southern descriptions out, we continue the rates as previously, though the tendency is rather upwardforthe better kinds. Ohio, via Now-Or cans, of the best brands, is held at tc7 75, with occasional sales at that rate j though, yesterday, a parcel o( 3.000 hhls was ta. ken. supposed at #7 625.
