iUiLw Before the establishment of theLivj"T, fioo oersons. The railway, from its rrnth, bein n average of 10(0 per day. It has ?ZfSn a single day. There hasoccurred but one fatal accident on it in eighteen month. The fare by coach was 18s. inside, and 5a. outside; by railway it is 5s. inside, and 3s. 6d. outside. The time occupied in making the journey by coach was four hours; by railway it is one hour and three quarters. All the coaches but one have ceased running, and that chiefly for the conveyance of parcels. The mails all travel by the railway, at a saving to government of two thirds of the expense. The railway coaches are more commodious than others; the travelling is cheaper, safer, and easier. A great deal of traffic which used to go by other roads comes now by railway: both time and money are aved, though the length of the journey may be often increased. The proportion of passengers carried by railway over those carried by coach has been 22 to 10 in winter, and 17 or 18 to 10 in summer. A regiment of soldiers has been carried by the railway from Manchester to Liverpool in two hours. Gentlemen's carriages are conveyed on tracks by the railway. The locomotive travels in safety after dark. The rate of carriage of goods is 10s. per ton; by canal it used to be 15s. per ton. The time occupied in the journey by railway is two hours; by canal it is twenty hours. The canals have reduced their rates thirty per cent. Goods are delivered in Manchester the same day they are received in Liverpool; by canal they were never delivered before the third day. By railway, goods, such as wines and spirits, are not subject to the pilferage which existed on the canals. The saving to manufacturers in the neighborhood of Manchester in the carriage of cotton alone has been 20,000 per annum; some houses of business save 500 a year in carriage. Persons now go from Manchester to Liverpool and back in the same day with the greatest ease; formerly they

were generally obliged to be absent the greater part of two days. More persons now travel on their own business. The railway is assessed to the parochial rates in all the parishes through which it passes: though only 31 miles, it pays between 3,000 and -4.000 per annum in parochial rates. Coal-pits have been sunk and manufactories established in the line, giving great employment to the poor; manufactories are also erected on the line, giving increased employment, and thus reducing the number of claimants for parochial relief. The railway pays one-fifth of the poor rates in the parishes through which it passes. Fresh coal mines have been sunk, owing to facilities of carriage and reduced price. It is found advantageous for the carriage of milk and garden produce: arrangements are about to be made to carry milk 15 miles at Is. per 10 gallons (i. e. less than one farthing per quart.) A great deal of land on the line has been let for garden ground at increased rents. Residents on the line find the railway a great convenience, by enabling them to attend to their business in Manchester and Liverpool with ease at little expense. No inconvenience is felt by residents, from smoke or noise, but on the contrary, great advantages are experienced by means of travelling, to and fro, distances of 10 miles in half an hoar for Is. and without any fatigue. The engines only burn coke. The value of land on the line has been considerably enhanced by the operation of the railway: land cannot be purchased but at a large increase of price; it is much sought after for building, &c. The railway Company, in their late purchases, have been obliged to pay frequently double the price they originally paid for their land. A great deal of land has been sold for building at three times its former value. Much waste land on the line has been taken into cultivation, and yields a good rent. Land owners, originally opposed to tne railway, are now its warm advocates: having found their fears wholly groundless, they have now been solicitous that the line should pass through their land. Mr. Babbage observes, in his book on the "Economy of Manufactures," "One point of view in which rapid modes of conveyance increase the power of a country deserves attention. On the Manchester railroad, for example, above half a million of persons travel annually; and supposing each person to save only one hour in the transit between Manchester and Liverpool, a Baving of five hundred thousand hours, or of fifty thousand working days of ten hours each, is effected. Now, this is equivalent to an addition to the actual power of the country of one handred and sixty-seven men, without increasing the quantity of food consumed; and it should be also remarked, that the time of the class of men thus supplied is far more valuable than that of mere laborers." The great utility of railways, and their produc- I tiveness in a pecuniary point of view, have just been exemplified at-Edinburgh, where a railroad, formed for the purpose of introducing coal to the city from pits a few miles distant, has been covered with vehicles for the conveyance of passengers to all parts of the adjacent country. People s Magazine. Rail Road Disaster. We regret to learn that a most melanoholy accident occurred yesterday to the passengers on the Rail Road Line, between Camden and Amboy, about 18 miles from the latter place. About half past eleven o'clock in the forenoon, as the train, consisting of the locomotive, two accommodation and three regular cars, was passing alona portion of the straight line of road between Spotts wood and Heightstown, the axletree of Car B,(one of the latter class,) breaking, occasioned the upsetting of Car A, which was immediately in the rear, and contained twenty-four passengers. One of them, Mr. J. C. Stedeman, from Raleigh, North Carolina, putting his head out of the window had his neck broken by the fall, and died instantly. There were six ladies in the car, one of whom, with her child was severely injured the lady receiving several contusions on the face and head. Two gentlemen had their legs broken, and twx or three others were slightly injured. The passengers in car B, among whom was the Hon. John Quincy Adams, received no injury; and the whole company, with the exception of the deceased, proceeded on their way to Philadelphia. JV. Y. Enquirer. Mysterious. A rumour having got abroad that a large amount of money had been found in the neighborhood of the Eighth Avenue, by a couple of coloured men, one of the police officers proceeded a few days since to inquire into the truth of the matter, from which the following has been elicited: "While digging in a pit in June last for sand, they accidentally came across a quantity of bank bills, carefully secured in a succession of wrappers, and presumed to amount to about two thousand dollars; although of this fict, the men are ignorant, being unable to read or write. They kept the fact of find ing the money to themselves until about a fortnight cince, when they consulted as they 6ay, a fortune teller in relation to it, who informed them that the tight owner would come in the course of a day or two and claim it. This prediction of the fortune teller was verified the following morning, by a claimant appearing, to whom it was readily given up by the coloured men, upon receiving a hundred dollars1 each as a reward for the finding. Who the claimant was has not-been ascertained-nor, in fact, has any thing been elicited beyond what we have above Jtated. Jbt j

The following melancholy intelligence was received by yesterday' Southern mail : Louisiana Register Extra, JS"ov. 1. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE. Steam Boat burnt and lives lost. Wo learn from a gentleman who was on board when the heart rending occurrence happened, that the steamer St. Martin, bound from Bayou Sarah to New Orleans, with full freight and between 80 and 90 passengers, when the boat was under way about the middle of the river, 2 miles above Donald3onville, boat and cargo burnt, and about 50 or 60 passengers burnt or drowned. Eight lady cabin passengers two saved. Mr. and Mrs. Willis of New Or

It is with feelings of the deepest regret we lay before our readers the following distressing news, politely furnished us by the clerk of the steamboat Black Hawk, arrived here this morning about half past 4 o'clock. Extract from Log Boole of steamboat Black Hawk, P. S. Hartshorne, master. October 29, 5 P. M. At foot of 93 discovered the wreck of the steamboat NEW BRUNSWICK, came to and took on board one of her crew, from whom we learnt that she took tire the clay before, at 4 tr . JYl. ana was entirely destroyed no lives lost, but none of the cargo saved. ANOTHER, AND MORE DISTRESSING. October 31. Came up to the wreck of the ST. MARTIN, two miles above Donaldsonville, rounded to, and received on board those that were saved. The St. Martin was from Bayou Sarah, and had about 500 bales cotton and 90 hhds. sugar; she was discovered to be on fire about 12 o'clock this day, and melancholy to relate, about 40 persons were lost by fire and water. Of the officers aed crew missing, are the captain, clerk, second mate, second steward, cabin boy, chambermaid, two cooks, barkeeper, 4 sailors, and 5 firemen. Several passengers were lost; among the number, Capt. Sengstack, N. Moss, Esq. of New Orleans, and servant, Mr. Whiting, of Franklin, Mr. Easton and servant, of Opelousas, Mr. Allen, Mrs. Willis, of Bayou Sara, a lady, name unknown, and 3 servants Mr. J. F. Miller, of New Orleans, was badly burnt. Several passengers say that she had on board about FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, belonging to some of the Banks in New Orleans; which is lost. JOHN W. OWENS, Clerk. ANOTHER STEAM BOAT ACCIDEJSTT. We learn from Capt. Boggs, of the Free Trader, from Florence, that the steam boat Illinois, Capt. Bell, on her way from St. Louis to this place, has met with one of those accidents so common to our steam boats. A few days since the day not precisely known one of her boilers collapsed, and an explosion took place by which twenty-eight persons were scalded, of which number thirteen were scalded to death and lost overboard. Capt. Boggs has furnished us with the following list of the dead and wounded. The accident took place in the Mississippi, about five miles above the mouth of the Ohio: James Tott, cabin oassenper. dead. badly scalded, slightly do Mr. Jones, deck do A n M S. Sumerville, deck do L. D. Garrison, deck do do do S. M. Gray, deck do badly do P. Hendrickson, deck do do do Jas. M'Knight, cabin do do do D. A. Fullerton, deck do do do Wm.

James Emerson, dead. Mrs. Wolford, scalded. TIios. Archer, scalded. D. Decker, a girl , lost overboard. John Gibson, badly scalded. Tho. Alexander, do do Ambrose Garret, dead. Mr. McGray's three children, dead. Two other men lost overboard. It is reported, that the steam boat Bonnets O'Blue, on her way from New Orleans to Nash ville has been snagged and sunk. Louisville Herald. Union Bank of Tennessee. The Cashier of this institution has published a report, by which it ap pears that its condition is as flattering as its warm est friends could desire, Its notes in circulatien, including those made payable at Baltimore and Philadelphia, amount to, - $751,355 Specie on hand, ... 64G,535 Excess of notes, only, - - 101,820 The profits of the bank, the first eight months, amount to $131,11970. At no period since the Bank of the U. States went into operation could it have made an exhibit so favorable or satisfactory. Its circulation has invariably exceeded twice the amount of specie on hand. Generally the circulation has been three or four to one, and, if our memory serves us, it has been frequently eight or ten to one. The present condition of the Union Bank of Tennessee strongly rebukes those who are striving to convince the people that solvent State Banks cannot be established in the West. Louisville Advertiser. Important Decision. In the Circuit Court of the United States, a verdict was rendered this morning, in favor of John Ames against Howard and Lathrop, for $412 50, which being tripled, as the law requires, is L4ii ou damages. ihe action was brought by the plaintiff, to establish the validity of a patent for the Cylinder Paper Machine, taken out in 1822, but surrendered, and a new patent taken out in October, 1832. The amount involved at this trial, is not a matter of much moment, but the consequences to the paper manufacturing interest, are of immense importance. We are informed that there are not less than 500 of the Machines in this country, and that unless the decision should be reversed in another action, the plaintiff will recover irom me owners or tne machines, from $400,000 to $500,000!! We also learn that the manufacturers have determined to contest this patent in another action, and that with this view, able counsel is retained, in addition to the counsel in the case just deClded Transcript.

From the State RigJits Banner, Mississippi. It is with pain and regret that we feel called upon to notice the occurrence of a most fatal affair in our town during this week. On Tuesday last there arose between Mr. Thomas H. Dickson and Mr. Merideth S. Breckenridge, both of this place, a slight quarrel having its origin in nothing very serious. Mr. Breckenridge being somewhat under the influence of ardent spirits and when so, being very impetuous, irascible and ungovernable armed himself and went in pursuit of Mr. Dickson, threatening to kill him. Mr. Dickson with great prudence avoided him for sometime, when at last Mr. Breckenridge came into his presence by mere accident Dickson by this time had armed himself, expecting to be attacked if he met with Breckenridge. Immediately after Breckenridge came into Dickson's presence, he indicated an intention of executing his threats upon Dickson which compelled the latter to shoot him down. All who heard the evidence of this most fatal and melancholy affair, were fully convinced that Mr. Dickson acted under the pressure of the most unavoidable necessity. Immediately upon the happening of this unfortunate affair, Mr. Dickson surrendered himself to the Deputy Sheriff, who was present; and upon being brought before a magistrate, after the jury of inquest had made their report, and after examining many persons who witnessed the transaction, Mr. Dickson was discharged by the magistrate without being recognized. The fate of the unfortunate Breckenridge is one truly deplorable. He

was a man of warm and generous feelings one remarkable for the ardour and sincerity of his attachments. In his cool and sober moments, (and it was but seldom that he was otherwise,) he was much respected for all those qualities which constitute the gentleman. He had been married but a few months, and has left a young and interesting widow to mourn, with tears of bitterness, the early and ill fated doom of her unfortunate husband. Mr B. was a native of Fayette county, Kentucky. A Knave and a Fool. Two or three weeks ago a man applied at a boarding house for lodging, stating that he was a planter from the South. He had noticed a young lady at the window, and it was not lon before he made her acquainted with the fact, thit though possessed of great wealth ho was destitute of a partner, and that it was the glimpse of her person which induced him to take lodging there. He said a slight acquaintance had confirmed his favorable prepossessions, and although he was somewhat advanced, if she wonld consent to be his bride, he would do what he could to compensate for that, by settling upon her the sum of five thousand dollars at once, and making her as happy as his own efforts and his ample possessions would enable him to do. The young lady, though under another obligation, deemed this an opportunity too good to be lost. The courtship commenced on Friday and tho wedding took place on Tuesday. The bridegroom was but indifferently attired; had with him only a few articles in his bandbox and the tailors disappointed him in his hasty order of the wedding suit. That however was a matter of small importancejjwith a gentleman whose character rested on much more stable foundations. The new clothes and every thing else would be ready for the wedding visit, they being "at home," which was fixed a few evenings ahead. Before that time arrived however, he told his blooming wife one morning that he had had a strange dream during the night, which troubled him; and, said he "I am going out and if I do not return you may think something has happened to me." He did not come back, and on sending to his wash woman it was found, that a couple of shirts had been sent to him on board a steamboat. The steamboat was gone, and the rich planter had gone too, bandbox and all. As he left his bill unpaid, and his young wife not a little in the lurch, it is presumed that some thing has happened to him. Jour, of Com. A Decision. The liability of banks to pay the whole amount for torn notes was recently decided before the New York Circuit Court in Schenectady. Some torn notes were presented for payment, which the bank refused to redeem for the full amount, for the reason, as was alledged that they might have been torn for the purpose of addin" to gether pieces from different notes, and increasing the apparent amount. The jury were charged to decide in favor of the plaintiff, if they considered the bills genuine, showing that the bank had no right to judge in its own case, and decide what part they would not redeem. We have often thought that the right which they frequently assume of crossing notes purporting to have been issued by them, on the ground of their being counterfeit; is very questionable, and it is certainly liable to great abuse. It is, we believe, very certain that notes have frequently been crossed which wero genuine; and the temptation to do wrong, is too powerful to be trusted to any hands. Bait. Rep. The Sugar Cnors. The early frosts of last week, have done much damage to the cane; in many places so much, that half the quantity of sugar which was calculated on before the frosts came, will not be made. On Mr. Shepherd's estate alone, it is calculated that the frost has caused a loss of three hundred hogsheads. Other plantations have sustained little or no damage, particularly in the vicinity of the city, where the fogs from the lakes, united with that of the river, had entirely protected the cane. The extreme dry weather, although unfavorable to tho general health of the country, is very favorable to planters under existing circumstances. There is much well-founded apprehension as to the next year's crop, as there is very little cane left, which will answer for serr! The injury to the cotton crops is not so considpm. ble; the greater part of tho crops having got out of me way ot lrost, or at least the damage being only partial. New-Orleans Advertiser. Rhode Island Senator. We learn from the Newport Mercury, that, in the Legislature of Rhode Island, on Thursday, the resolution offered at the last session, declaring the election of Mr. Robins to the United States Senate, in January last, to be void was called up and passed, by a maioritv of six-tpon On Friday a resolution was offered, for the two Houses to join in Grand Committee for tho purpose of electing a Senator in the Congress of the United States, in the place of Mr. Robins, which pissed by majority of twenty. The Hon. E. R. Potter was then nominated, and elected without opposition. pa. Inquirer.

From the Xeir Vorl Enquirer Great Fire in Constantinople. Wc extract frolii tin papers, by the last arrivals from Europe, the folhwing account of the dreadful conflagration which his taken place at Constantinople. Constantinople, Sept. A. The a'-irms of fire, so prevalent hero last month, have changed into results. A dreadful conflagration has consumed about one-fourth of this city. On Fruay last, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, smoke vas observed to arise from the large wooden buildin;, called the gun manufactory, situate on the water edge of the Golden-Horn in the bay, and opposite .he arsenal of Galata. Tho wind was blowing rather fresh from the north. It being the hour when tho good Mussulmans were busy at their weeky prayers, no attention was at first paid, but the fltmcs soon spread, so that the devastation was exterded over a circle of three miles. It was painful in the extreme to see thousands of human creatures forced from their homes to seek shelter in the mosques, or in the tents placed in the squares, taking with them the remnant of their property; the old, the young, the sick, men, women and children flying from destruction, or huddled together on the shore. As the night approached, the blaze illumined the horizon for miles around, so that persons who were on an island 12 miles distant, assured me it appeared like day. From the small Turkish burial ground , near Pera, the spectacle was grand in the extreme. Abstraction made of the calculation of human misery procured on the occasion, the panorama of a fiery circle of more than a mile in breadth, was most im

posing. To a painter it would form a supurb subject. Imagine an 'amphitheatre of gently sloping hills over a river of three-quarters of a mile in width, and in the midst, houses and mosques, with their beautiful minarets, and the tall cypress trees, the whole glowing in fire which cast a fearful glare over the high mosques called royal ones, as large ns the greatest churches in London, aud for which great apprehension was entertained. The moon was full, and shone in eastern splendor. At midnight, on the side of the bazaars, there was one line of fire of at least a mile in length, moving again at the breeze from one wooden building to tho other. Amidst the smoky ruins, the windows of of some lofty buildings were occasionally reddened by the glare from within. The minarets, built of stone resisted the fire, until the lead on the round roofs melted and emitted a white blaze, looking like lofty tapers, with which in other countries the dead arc conducted to the grave. When the devastating element had gained the top of the ridge of the seven hills, on which Constantinople is built, seemed to crown the whole, for it had passed through its very centre, from the bay of Galata, to the sea of Marmora, and the old Roman aqueduct, formerly concealed by the houses, has been visible in bold relief. The principal destruction was caused among the town residences of the wealthy families, who had beautified and ornamented them with great taste. Several hundred such houses, and some thousmds of poorer classes, have fallen. The Turks are proverbial for their patience, yet some victims hive been sacrificed to the rage of the multitude. The dissatisfaction of the people with the Government is believed to have produced the conflagration, for the intention of the incendiaries had been spoken of before. Two inhabitants of tho Greek Islands, dressed as Franks, were caught with bundles of clothes for which they could not account satisfactorily; the accusation was made that the Franks had set the city on fire, the unfortunate prisoners could not explain themselves to the mob, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were thrown into the flames. At 4 o'clock in the morning, the destruction had extended from near the mosque of Sultan Mohomct, in the west, to that of Soleyman, in the cast, and from the bay of Galata to the lace devastated four weeks before by a similar accident, near the Sea of Marmora. The wind then went down, and, fortunately for the eastern part of the Seraglio, the blaze ceased before it reached the bazaars. The'Vizier, and the great officers of the Court, the Seraskier Pacha, the Captain Pacha, Arc. were present, and exerted themselves to stop the progress of the conflagration. Formerly the Sultan used to attend, and on such occasions the Turkish women did not hesitate to assail him with imprecations against his Ministry or such persons as were unpopular. But at this, as well as at all fires since the abolition of the Janissaries, the Sultan was not present. Fowl Legislation. There was a good deal of interesting legislation in the Vermont House of Repre sentatives, at its last session, on the subject of rows. iv .nr. ratridge, whose name by the bye, would seem to indicate less inclination to prey upon any of the feathered tribe, as the members of his family have been considered very retiring in their manners, introduced a bill for the destruction of all the Crows in the Green Mountain State; and the debate which insued upon this motion, if that can be called debate which is all on one side, was unusually lucid, argumentative, and historical; but it was terribly severe upon the Crows. One gentleman commenced by observing, that these birds had been become alarmingly numerous since they had been legislated out of Mr. Isaac Hill's State, and therefore he, (the Speaker,) was clear for legislating them into some other, as they were raising hob in Vermont. Another gentleman "declared from his place" that in some parts of the State, the people were short of bread stuffs in consequence of the depredations of these winged freebooters, and he further stated "upon his responsibility" that the vagabonds had so lost their usual caution; that while The farmer was cannonading them at one end of the field. we was enjiiaded, wc believe it is, bv a fresh detach ment at the other. A third member of the Honorable House frankly confessed that he couldn't accuse the crows of destroying much corn in his neighborhood, inasmuch as there was none to demolish; but he testified to their general bad character, and was in favor of the bill. Several other gentlemen stated that the whole guilt of the common enemy had not been told: that they had destroyed more lambs than all other animals put together. This is putting the crow character in a worse light than wo ever before understood it, and if these representations are to be relied on, the Vermont crows in all the essentials of ornithological morality, are the very worst of their race; and we think the Representatives of the good people of the State acted with singular wisdom, in passing as they did, this "just and necessary measure of self defence." n COLOMBIA. The Assassination of Colonel Woodbine and family. There are certain individuals residing in Jamaica opposed to the existing and peaceful Governments of Colombia, and who, disappointed in their efforts to disturb tho tranquility of that country, eagerlv seized hold of every circumstance for the purpose of misrepresentation. Thus, the assassination of Colonel Woodbine and his family, in the neighborhood of Carthagena, is represented as connected with something political, and that notices, menacing the lives of nil foreigners, were in consequence posted up in the streets. This is a very old and hacknied misrepresentation by the same parties: and letters of the 2Gthof July

from the first English eeUlliJimr ntj of Carthagena, do not even allude to any such menace. Colonel Woodbine was formerly employed by the British Government in the Flondas, as a leader of the Indiana against tho North Americans. He prided himself in being able to acquire more influence over the savages than any other European. Ho made propositions to the Colombian Government to clear waste land by tho employment of Indians and negroes, over whom he could gain an arbitrary sway; and he was permitted to bring over a body of negroe from the inland of St. Andre, when a portion of land was granted to him on tho bank of tho bay of Carthagena. Tho severity of hi discipline, and more particularly of his wife, in tho management of that class of persons, did not foil to rairnj them up many enemies; and even three years since the remark was frequently made, on Colonol Woodbine coming in his open boat to Carthagena, that hit life was exposed, particularly as his residence was in a retired spot. He was not engaged in the Colombian service during tho distentions which prevailed there two years ago, and his assassination could have no political object, nor be attended with any influence of that kind whatever.

JLatc Foreign lYtrs. By the arrival of tha packet ship Silas Richards at New York, we arc in possession of intelligenco from Liverpool to the 25th ult. and from London to the 2 1th, being nine davs later. The Hon. Edward Lcvingston had arrived at Paris. The French King has had an angry altercation with his premier, for his conducting a diplomatic correspondence without tho cognizance of tho minister for foreign affairs. No item of news worth being recorded on tho internal affairs of Franca and England. Tho hto storm had produced dreadful effects. On a limited coast in Norfulkshire, 100 bodies were washed up by the sea; and about 23 vessels wera hid upon tho coast. Tho harvest season has been soon and abundant in England. Lieut. Thompson of tho British ship Trinculo, has captured a slavo vessel containing 307 slaTCs which he carried to Sierra Leone. In Spain, the cholera still prevails. A Russian 74 gun ship upon the coast of England, was wrecked with a crew of 700 men 15 only being saved. From Portugal is only news of interest because perhaps it is of excitement. There tho proposals of Bourmont for capitulation were rejected by tho Pedroitcs. Tho state of 'affairs in Portugal seems almost despcrato for the causa of Miguel somo parts of his own army having been disbanded to prevent desertion; and others disarmed and ordered rearward. Several skirmishes had taken place without advantage to either side. Lisbon had been so Mrongly fortified, that it is considered impregnable, and an attack by don Miguel would bo considered madness. Lord William Russell and admiral Parker bad refused to act as mediators between tho Foitugucso brothers, but bad dispatched a streamer to England for orders. They hid not advised Pedro to accedo to tho terms of Bourmount ; but it was hinted that Don bad privately signed the capitulation when tho steamer was despatched: such is tho confidence and honor of such princes! A letter from Lisbon of the 12th ult. apprehended another assault by Bourmont: such is the truth of tho rumors. Tho Migurlites exhilerato their compeers, and endeavor to affright tho friends of tho Donna Maria, by proclaiming that an American fleet was in the Tugus to succor them. Heaven forbid! Between Holland and Belgium no progress appears to have been mado in adjusting the disputes. Tho meeting of the two emperors and the king of Prussia, seems to have lost a good deal of interest which it first occasioned; wo daresay it still retains more than it deserves. Tho inflexibility of Holland seems to bo encouraged by Russia and Prussia. Tho Sovereigns in Congress arc enjoying themselves with military reviews, as relaxations at intervals. Good recruits. The colony of Algiers is not likely to bo relinquished by the French. It feeds tho ostentation of that nation too much for wisdom tointeifcro. The expense of maintaining tho colony materially preponderates over its revenue or advantages but pride must enduro pain. Austria still maintains a large number of troops in Italy. Turkey has been ransomed from a lion to bo devoured by wolves: it had been redeemed from tha vengeful attempts of the Egyptian pasha, to become a prey to domestic incendiaries. A firo has occurred in Galata tho :id or 4th of tho kind which destroyed abovo :100 bouses. Piracies and conspiracics also prevail; and tho plaguo and pesti lence have visited the Ottoman empire. Turkey in tho cast, and Spain in tho west of Europe, aro sad monuments of absolute monarchy. Tho internal state of Spain is depicted as at tho lowest ebb. Crimes and tragical events are said to be multiplying throughout tho kingdom to an alarming extent. Details aro given of tho most shocking description, and indicate tho government is in nanus eimer uau or weak . American Sentintl. From the Aatrhe Standard. Tun DnrARTniE. Tho ship St. Louis siilod from this port, on Saturday evening last, with a full cargo of cotton for Liverpool. On her leaving tho port, salutes were exchanged between the citizens of Natchez and tho captain and crew of tho Mary. Tho St. Louis was towed down by tho I' Walk-in tho Water." Tho sight was as novel as it was interesting. Tho steam boat was licatily loaucu wiwi cotton bales, which gavo her the appcaranco of a floating battery. Sho took twentyseven hundred bales of cotton on bonrd. A speedy arrival of the St. Louis at Liverpool, and a prosperous termination of her enterpriso is most heartily desired by all friends to tho agricultural and commercial interests of Mississippi.
