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 ■ton Female College for tne es- in preparing, and the ■yjy manifested in extending ■s this rich, rare, and bounti went.

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.

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. * . ;■ General Intelligence* 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 week we were shown a twenty dollar counterfeit Bill on the Bank of flenrge town, S- C Also a twenty (fotfSrßilron the Bank of Augusta.

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 rMirtS upon the refusal o fits owner JH regular rate ol freight on tl contained, was decided in fa road Mr, H . *we underslaß his property from the the amount of freight demflQf Road, which he paid understand that he the case into the United Spates Court.— At* hnta Intelligencer, ult.
