JttJ TANARUS:
CORONATIOPTOFTHE QUEEN.
\ This ancient custom, on the first day of
jMay, and very pleasing entertainment,
’ came oflfin our village on Monday even
ing last. The actors in it were the Slu
dents and Teachera of the Hamilton Fe’
male College—of which Pi* F. Brown,
Esq., is the Principal.
The procession •'was formed at the Col
lege, headed by Miss Mudge ; from
thence, in double file, marched to the
beautiful grove in front of Mr. Brown’s
dwelling, where the Throne was prepar
ed, and the Coronation to take place; and
where a Supper, plentiful in its bounty,
and faultless in its neatness, was laid out,
doing honor to Mn, Brown, and the la
dies who assisted ber.
On entering the enclosure which’ sur’
rounded the entire procession
commenced singing something,* we do
hot know what to call it—for we are un
acquainted with* its name—but one thing
wede know, it was
to be
os, and
appear^gji
tive old age/’ or the melting, confidence
of “ whispering lovers.” Ah I we com
menced a narrative, and are getting into
description. Let us back? After Miss
Thompson had mounted tie Throne,
then commenced the ceremonies, which
consisted of appropriate sentiments
wreathed in the flowers o 1 poetry, ad
dressed by the “ maids of honor” fothe
Queen:; and also she crowning, wfiidh
was most unostentatiously and gracefully
performed by Miss Josephine Crooe,
and presentation of the sceptre by Miss
Nancy Jones Reed, the path was grace
fully strewed with Flowers, accompanied
with appropriate sentiment, fcy Miss Ma’
rietta Mtller, & the May Pole planted
by Miss Virginia Farley. After plant
ing the May Pole, which was beautifully
decorated with (£>wers, tlpe ybung ladies
*hort time, singing a delightful May song,
only could pass thcflbgh lips
faftm hearts where innocence dwells.
jFThcn followed the congratulations
which were profusely nd heartily ten*
dered, both by ladies end gentlemen,
and becomingly received.; and thus the
interval and sup
per was mainly occupied; 4i
When supper was syinounced, dove
like pairing off was Commenced, —we are
not overly inquisitive, bi|t would be
pleased to know all that pa&ed between
those pairs,—we think, all least, we
would have a museunr/of curious things,
and ridiculous things, and perhaps some
good things—that would at least be in
teresting to every Ik Marvel, and'to eve
ry lady who ciiwiot say “my liege lord.”
Revery againf* Well, “’Us human to
step aside.” u .
After supper &e -whole company re
paired to the Colilge there the Chapel
wus lighted up— whole house was
lighted up, and every face and every ele
was lighted up—and warlike to have sqm
every heart was bounding op —lt maw
be that we would make an erroneous
sertion, for we have known smiling
and beaming eyes and faces to conceal
sad and heavy hearts, —therefore will
not say that every heart was bounding up
with joy. We are almost tempted Hi dip
into metaphysics again to explain and en
force our position; but we will not, we
believe.
The Chapel scene on Monday evening
was a brilliant one, such as has never
been witnessed there before, bbt as will
hereafter, we hope, be-witnessed there
again. Eyes looked love to %yes that
looked love again ; lips whispered love,
and in soft and confused accents, ’twas
murmured back again ; “ and'mwsic rose
with its voluptuous swell” by the magic
of its harmony, charming to th eq|, and
by the warmth of its eloquence, melting
to the soul. In short, and all in all, it
was a pleasant time, a great time; and a
long to be remembered time ; which Will
ever be cherished in the hearts of the
spectators, for the decorum and lady-like
conduct evinced by the students on that
occasion—from the least to the greatest—
which would have done hofyor to
of more mature age,—fully proving to
the patrons, and public generally, the
worth, and capability of the In*
■tors to direct their daughters in the
■of literature, moral rectitude and
Mrs and gratitude to the Teachers

DREADFUL STORM AND SHIP- ‘
WRECK.
In • dreadful storm on the 19th of
April, the American sWp Powhatan.
Capt. Myers, from Havre-, bound so New
York, went ashore on Absecem beach,
New -Jersey, where lay for 24 hours
besting* against the beach, before going
to pieces, without the reach of human
aid, end every soul on board perished;
not one being left to foil the sad tale, con
sequently it cannot be known how many
lives were lost. Up to the latest dates
one hundred and fifty bodies had washed
ashore.
The storm, accompanied with sleet
and snow, is said to have been the se
verest which has visited the coast for
many years. It is also said that the surf,
on several occasions, rose t-o the height
of one hundred and fifty feet, and could
be seen washiog over the masts of vessels
from Bamagat village, • distance of ten
miles. A great many vessels have gone
ashore, and many more reported lost on
our northern coast.
The weather of the past wjnter has
.been extremely harassing to the mariner.
The European papers are filled with ac-J
Counts of vessels lost, and the number is
unparalleled* .'
Those who have never seen a gale on
the coast, cannot imagiuirone—ejpeelklly
on a lea shore, ft is dfeadfuf bpyond
description. One, unaccustomed to such
scenes, at first sight, would really* think,
that all the benighted powers of grande
monium were let loose to reVel on the
sea. The fearful flashing of the light
nlng, the heaving Billow’s, running moun
tains high, one after another, beating with
extreme violence on top of each other,
causing the briny deep to look like a sea
of foam,.the* shrieking of the wind o’er
the sea and through the cordage, the
dreadful plunging and heaving olthe ves
sels, the showers of rain and hail, the
hoarse**Qiandateß of the commander, all
combine to make the picture fearfully
sublimje. We say, God protect and
guideAe poor mariner.
—The Savannah Journal says
a matnjmfed Lawrence Richardson was
shot sitting in a shop in Whitaker
street near Taylor, about 8 o’clock on the
night of4he> 24th ult. The load was re

PREMIUM roR A CURE of CHOLER A
The department of state has published
I letter frtirn-pur Minister to France, cov
ering a letterdrom Alexandre Nattetnare,
explains tffo circumstances of a be
efiest ot 100,000 francs, which has been
nrhde t to # the French Institute, as a premi
un for the discovery of means of curing
th| Asiatic cholera, or of the cause of the
pestilence. The testator's heirs have
contested the validity of the bequest, and
unll the litigation thus commenced, shall
be tecided, the French Institute will not
be prepared to act upon the subject.—
whn this impediment shall be removed,
if the decision of the courts shall prove
favorable to the legality of the bequest,
the programme will be prepared, and an
opportunity offered to all in every coun
try for competition.
We understand, (says the Savannah
Journal,) that if the legality of the above
bequest is established, that the proprietor
of “Jacob*’ Cholera, Dysentery and Diar
hoea Cordial” (a preparation that is now
being extensively manufactured in this
city) will contend for this premium, by
sending forward, an agent with a sufficient
quantity of the medicine for a thorough
test.
If the medicine is what its proprietors
claim for it, and what report says of it,
the formula for its preparation should, by
some means, be secured and made known
for the benefit of the world.
We have, made use of the above‘ntjedi<
cine and can bear testimony to its effica
cy in cases of Diarrhoea; we also feel
confident that it is not too highly recom
mended, and that the proprietors cferm
no more for ft than is .justly mdrrtetMTif
the proprietors ot Jacobs’ Cordial beCamh
competitors for the bequest, we have, no
doubt of their proving successful.—Ed.

ANOTHER SPANISH OUTRAGE.
The Havana correspondent of the Mobile
Register, in • letter dated the 15th, gives
the following details of an outrage perpe
trated on the late arrival of the Black
Warrior at Havana;
Outrage on the American Consul
—lt seems that Col. W. M. Robertson,
as usual, went on board of steamer soon
after her arrival, for hts dispatch sacks,
from the State Department, and that on
returning to the shore, as soon 4s he left
the whart he was assaulted by an officer,
who sehted him and his sacks and at
tempted to take them by force from him,
ala Black Warrior, But he was not
quite aware ol the person he was dealing
with, and was thrown back with a slight
effort of the Colonel; whereupon a gang
of soldiers, ready in waiting weie called
upon, and they rushed to the rescue. But
it was of oo use; they could not block the
Jiath of the honest old man. f
■’ Those repeated indignities were made
in the presence of many people*, lining
whole Officio street. The outrage would
not have been attempted without express
instruction of the very highest authority
—Captain.General Pejtuela—and the ob
ject was surreptitiously to get possession
of the correspondence and have as an
excuse to render the ignorance of the
officer in discharge of his duty.
Short accounts make long friends, and we
hope some of these things will Be adjusted
in time, for we know not the eternity
that lingers with Spanish “poco poco.”
We learn, says the Savanab Neris
that the Justices of the Inferior Court of
Chatham county have refused to grant
any license to retail spirituous liqaors
Counterfeit Money.—ln the past

Fire in AmericUs —We learn by the
Sumter RepubHcan that a fire occurred in
Americus on the 18th inst., destroying
some twelve houses, among which: Was
the Presbyterian Church, and involving
a loss of about sl2 000. One person
only had insured, and that to the amount
of $2,000.
Convicted —At,the session of Henry
Superior Court, last week, a man by the
name of William Ferrell, was sentenced
by his Honor Judge Staik, to five years’
hard labor in the penitentiary for shooting
his own wife and child It appears that
Ferrell was walking with his brother or
brotherin-law, behind his wife, who had
a child in her arms, when he suddenly
pulled out a pistol and shot at his wife,
the ball &trikiftgjheqhild, making a slight
flesh wound; V Aamf. burying itself in the
■thigh of the motfier. Neither are seri
ously injured. Farrell plead guilty ; said
he had nothing against his wife, and did
not know vrKat prompted him to shoot her-
It is probably a singular case of absence
of mind upon which the gentleman will
have full opportunity to ruminate within
the next five years, at the end of which
time it is to be hoped he will have fully
conquered this tendency to mental ab
straction. —American Union.
THE CUBAN QUESTION.
The Cuban slave trade has been the
subject of discussion again in the British
Parliement, and some of the members
spoke very decidedly against England
taking any measures to prevent Cuba from
tailing into the hands of the Americans,
it Spain still continued to encourage this
odious traffic. Mr. Cobden said
-The Spanish government ought to be
made to understand that by pursuing the
policy she had chosen, disiegarding, as
she did, the doctrines of civilization and
humanity, by continuing the slave trade,
she was fast losing the respect and sympa
thy of every nation ot the civilized world,
and preparing the way for some strong
power to take possession of that island
which she had so scandalously abused.
“The Hon. Baronet had said that slave
ry existed in the United States. That
was true, but the slave trade did not exist
there. (Hear, hear.\ The United States,
had declared the slave trade to be piracy,
and it was not quite candid to put that
nation on a par with Spain in keeping up
the odious traffic. (Hear, hear.) With
out saying one word about the expediency
of giving Cuba to the United States, or
assisting that country to take possession
of the Island, he thought it would be
greatly for ihe interestsof humanity if the
United. States, or any other power that
•would altogether discountenance the slave
trade, should, possess it.’* I
