editor savd, conics troin those who, of all men, should know the truth in such u matter. Tiie Opening of Iceland.—Anoth er barrier to the liberty of Commerce has just been thrown down by anew Danish law, making trade with Iceland free to all nations. This trade not long fdnee was a monopoly, held by a small company of Copenhagen merchants. The Finances of Spain are in a de plorable condition. Three years since, that government had creditors in Eng land to the extent of seventy millions sterlings; since when, the interest on the debt has been allowed to aeeumu fdate without payment. Now it is pro posed to raise $18,000,000 additional >(or 180.000,000 reals,) at the extraor <• iinary rate of .12 per cent, per annum. The City of Glasgow is at last given up for lost, and the Insurance Compa nies are paying the amount of the pol icies. Most ot the heavy loss falls up- ! on English offices and Philadelphia. An Austrian journal estimates the number of deaths in the Russian army, jrom typhoid lever, since their entrance into Pobrudseha, at ilie enormous num ber of 18,000. FROM WASHINGTON. Governors fur Nebraska and Kansas. —A dispatch from Washing ton says:—lt is well understood here that tire President has decided upon appointing Gen. Win. O. Butler, of Kentucky, to the Governorship of Kan sas. Mr. White will make the second territorial Governor that Gen. Pierce has selected from Indiana—Mr. Gor man having been appointed to preside over Minnesota in the early part of the administration. Nebraska Cane.—Judge Douglas appeared in the House Friday with a walking cane of hickory, which grew in Kansas, and which was presented To him by a friend residing at Fort I.'-a veil worth. The stick is formidable insiz<\ and has several large knots.— The head of it is ornamented with buck horn, and upon a plate of gold is in scribed •■Kansas and Nebraska." In the House of Representatives, on Friday, the bill to increase the post age rates was discussed, and laid on the table bv a veto of ninety-four to jiftv-one. The Chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means asked leave to report the bill modifying the tariff but objection was made. The S -nate passed the bill authoriz ing the coinage of -gold pieces of the value respectively of ten and live A Washington despatch says that a Message has been drawn up, announc ing the appointment of the “Peace < .miuission"—denouncing the Afri canization project of Spain, and calling upon Congress to adopt some imme diate steps to empower the President t.o act decidedly in the matter. Senator Weller was to be married for the fourth time, on Friday last, in Washington City. He is yet quite a young man. DOMESTIC. From Havana.—The steamer Ga- ; uav:ba arrived at New York, brings dates to the 12th inst. A hoax in the shape of an acrostic had been played off on the Governor of Matanzas, who j had it published in the Government | paper. The first letters of some ful some lines in praise of lbs excellency, read ‘‘ Viva los Fillibuderos." r The po em purported to come from a repentant exile in New York, A Havana letter says; ‘•The conduct of the recently enlis ted black soldiers has not been satis factory. IT-port says, they will be discharged from tdie army, unless they mend their manners. The Marchion ess do la Pezuela, I understand, returns to Spain this day. Fear of the yellow fi-ver, which is carrying off the unac elimated of the inhabitants of this city, is stated to be the cause of her early departure. A letter by the Isabel mentions a rumor, current in Havana, that all for eigners in Cuba were compelled either to join the militia or quit the island. The Prohibitory Liquor Law, which has just passed the (Connecticut, legisla ture, is represented by our New Ha ven correspondent to be even more stringent than the Maine law. The vote in the House of Representatives stood 141 yeas to GO nays. A mountain of Spanish brown, esti mated to be sufficient to supply the world for centuries, is reported to have been discovered in the vicinity of Fly ten, Alabama. Nine Fugitive Slaves Arrested in Cincinnati. —Last evening, United States Deputy Marshal Thayer, captur ed nine negroes, who were on their way to Canada. When first seized they at first resisted, but finally surren dered, when assured they were in the custody of officers. They were march ed back to the city, and lodged in the watchhouso. The fugitives will be brought before the U. S. Commissioner this morning for examination under the new Fugitive Slave Law. The slaves escaped from Boone county, Ky., a. night or two since— Cincinnati Ga zette, June 15.

A, Qhitman. —The Wash ington Union ol the 17th inst., says: An article appeared in our paper some days since, in which a friend of Gen. Quitman alluded to the attempt to con nect him with the alledgod filibustering movements against C üba. 1 Ins article lias induced Gen. Quitman to send to the Hon. Wiley P. Harris the follow ing despatch: New Orleans, June 14. Tell the editor of the I'nioutlmt no j man is authorized to speak for me but myself. Publish this. .1. A. QUITMAN. A Havana correspondent of the j Charleston Courier denies the rumor current in the island that an outbreak had taken place at Matanzas, (most probably founded on the acrostic lioax practiced on the Governor, and which is said greatly to have enraged that functionary! and ad is, — "There doubtless is a veto general feel ing of discontent prevalent throughout the island, but that there is likely to be anything like an “outbreak'’of a se rious character, ldo not believe. The poor people are too much down-trod den and dispirited to make any such at tempt. They would, 1 know, gladly shake oil' the Spanish yoke, but they do not dare to make any effort to rid themselves of it,” The same writer represents the black troops as very insolent and insubordi nate.

Stiles, lias accepted the ap pointment to deliver the. Anniversary ()ration before the Phi Delta and Tha lian Societies of Oglethorpe University, on Commencement Dav, the 19th of July. The Augusta Covstiintionalist , says: Stocks.—We have heard of the sale this week of 100 shares Georgia Rail- Road, at $lO2. and several lots City Bank at $3 1-2 premium. The latter is not held at a higher figure. The average size of vessels from Sa vannah this last year is 400 tons; of foreign 523. Front Charleston 422 tons for American; 309 for foreign. Beneeit of Drunkenness.—Dick ens, in his "Sunshine on Daily Paths,” conveys in the following laughable manner, a great social truth: As we walked along, my friend be gan to make calculations as to how many people flourish in every country outlie habits and vices of their fellow citizens. Ilewove a chain of terrible length, to show hov; many own'were in terested in the drunkenness of the country. A man reeled past us in the imbecile, singing state of the vice. “That man,” said my eccentric friend, “will do the State some service to-night. Present ly he will create a disturbance; a police will walk him off to the station house, and be promoted: his hat will be broken, to the advantage of a hat i ter; his shirt front will be torn, to the I benefit of some poor seamstress; and | there, lie has broken his yard of clay, Ito the advantage of the manufactory |we have just left. Deli mm tremens j will come at last, and with it a sur jgeon; and with the surgeon, herbs | which are now growing under the ; burning heat of Indian skies.” Tt is said that, upon the average, six- I teen men in every troop of the English i army destined for Turkey were mar | ried ; consequently, the twenty-five j thousand men would leave between five and six thousand children.
