E&Akce. Paris. Saturday. -—It Is Evident...
E & AKCE . Paris . Saturday . - —It is evident from the turn the debates have taken for the last two days in the Legislative Assembly , that the Conservative majority is determined to be avenged on the President of the Republic , both for Ma message to the President of * he Assembl y , and the dismissal of the late cabinet . They support the new ministry on all the great queslions of state , but on all points regarding the personal dignity or wishes of the President , they show a tleter : ! iination to repay him humiliation for hurniliaiio « . On Thursday , this petty war was carried on in the shape of a motion that the Assembly should henceforth attend no more public ceremonies ,
lest ihe President should appear a greater man on these occasions than any of the representatives . Yesterday it was through the Vice-President ( M . Boii ' ay de la Meurthe . ) that a hit was made at the head of the state . It will be remembered that the salary af the Vice-President of the Republic was fix-d hy the Constituent Assembly , at the sum of 48 . G 0 w francs , with apartments in the Palace of the Luxembourg . The apartments in question are not furnished , and M . Boulay has consequently never been able to take possession of them . An attempt to wade in the Constituent Assemblv to have the
matter placed on a more proper footing by giving an additional sum under the name of fiats de representation , but the Republican merabeis of the Coaitiluent Assembly refused . Things remained in that position till now , when the Prince de la Moskowa , hi . de Flavigny . il . Gavine , and some other BonspHrtists , determined to bring forward a measure allowing the Vice-President 52 , 000 f . as expenses of Ms household . The committee to which the bill was referred ( composed entirely of Conservatives ) reduced the proposed grant to 20 , 000 francs , and now the Assembly , by a coalition of ultra-Conservatives , have rejected the proposed grant altogether .
Paris , Soxday . —The « Moaiteur ' publishes a decree nominating General de Labile Minister of FonfififR Affairs , in the place of M- de Rayneval ; and another , by which M . Darcy , prefect of the Rhone , is nominated Under-Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior . By the condemnation of the persons tried at VetsaUcs for the affair of the 13 tu of June , no less than thirty seats in the Legislative Assembly have become vacant ; and it is supposed that the Assembly , in the course of to-morrow , will usueorders for new elections . The following are the departments vacant , with the names of the late members , all of
whom are now under sentence of transportation for life , with the exception of M . Suchet , who is under sentence of imprisonment for five years : —Aliier : M . Fargtti-Fayoile . Ariege : M . Pilhes . Cher : MM . Felix Pyat , Vauthier . Isere : M . Avril . Loire : M Martin Bernard . Haute-Loire : M . Maigne . Loireet-Cher : M . Cantagrel . Nievre : M . Gambon . Hautes-Pyrenees : M . Deville . Bas-Rhin : MM . Commissaire , Bocb , Beyer , Kopp , Anstett . Haut-Bhini MM , Pfieger , Koenig , Hofer . Saonr-et-Loire : MM- Rc-Hgeot , Reliant , Hehzmann , Jeanoot , Menand , Laadolphe . Seine : MM- Butchot , Conaderant . Rattier . Var : MM . Ledru-Rollin and Suchet . Haute-Vienne : M . Daniel Lamaziete .
. French Combination Laws . —ihe question which occupied the Legislative Assembly on Saturday , although it appeared to interest the mem . bets present much less than the puerile and personal squabbles of the previous two days , is one of very considerable importance . It was with respect to the combinations laws , which , though long sine abolished in England , are still in full force in France , and that with even a greater amount of injustice to the working man than was tolerated among ns even in the worst of times . The present state of the combination laws in France is simply this : —By articles 414 , 415 , and 416 of the penal code concerning coalitions , a double difference is
established between masters and their woikmena diffierence in the definition of the offence , and one in the extent of the punishment . Article 4 . 14 . only punishes masters when they ' unjistly and abusivel y ' combine for the purpose of lowering wages . Article 415 , which has reference to the coalition of workmen , does not mention the words ' unjustly and abusively . ' Besides this , the coalition of workmen is subjected to a more severe punishment than that of the masters . To suppress this unconstitutional distinction , and to re-establish equa'ity in the relations of these two great classes , a proposition was brought forward by a great number of the members of the Left who proposed the simple repeal of Articles
414 , 415 , and 416 of the penal code , which would be equivalent to the repeal of the combination laws altogether , and a declaration that combination was no longer an offence . To this -sweeping , but , as we in England think , just change , the committee tO Which the proposition was referred proposed a modification , which was on Friday supported , in the name of the committee , byM . de Vatimesnil . By this plan tbe articles of the penal code would be retained , with the simple omission of the words 'unjustly and abusively'in art . 414 , the effect of which would be ta leave the combination laws in full force , but to place the masters and workmen on an
equality . A third plan was proposed by M . Morin , to tbe effect that combination should not be considered an offence on the part either of masters or workmen , excepting in tbe case of violence and intimidation being used for the purpose of either raising or lowering wages . A fourth plan was brought forward by MM . Wolowski and Valette , which is simply the insertion of tbe words' unjustly and abusively , ' in article 415 , the effect of which would be at the same time to place masters and workmen on an equality , and to declare that combinations , either by the one or tbe other , were not indictable offences , excepting in certain cases where injustice and abuse were proved .
The debate of Saturday turned almost entirely on tbe plan proposed by M . Morin , by which the liberty and legality of combination were proclaimed , and the only matter declared punishable was the use of threats and violence for the parpose of produring a rise or fall of wages . This plan was strongly supported by MM . Bastiat and Le Beuve , and opposed by 31 . de Yatimesoil ; but after a long discussion the proposition of M . Morin was rejected by a majority of 393 to 203 votes . Towards the termination of the sitting 31 . Valette spoke at
considerable langth Ja favour o [ the plan proposed bv bimself and M . Wolowski , and after a short reply from M . Baze tbe debate was adjourned till Monday , on the motion of M . Wolowski . The discussion will probably be closed on Monday , and there is no doubt that the Assembly will reject the proposition of MM . Valette and Wolowski , as it has rejected all others which have for their object the total repeal of the combination laws . The fact is , that France is yet a hundred years behind England on that and many other questions .
Disturbed Statb of Algeria . —Letters from La Calle in Algeria of the 3 d lust , state that the successful resistance of tbe insurgents at Zaalcba has encouraged several tribfs of Arabs to commit acts of hostility against the French settlers . M . Riflent , tbe director of a society for cutting wood had been assassinated , and the men employed at the silver mines of Oumteboul been driven from their employment , and their inspector put to death . The 'Moniteur' contains a decree , signed by the President of tbe Republic , dismissing Pierre Bonaparte , who was lieutenant-colonel , iu the African Foreign Legion , from the service , for having returned to France , when on mission , without tbe orders or premission of his superior .
SWITZERLAND . Letters from Zurich of the 13 th lost , in tbe ' Kolaer Zeituug' state that fifty-three of the German refugees at Zurich have received orders to quit the territories of the Confederation . A letter from Lugano of the 15 ib states that the elections of Federal Jurats in the canton of Lucerne have terminated in the success of the Radical party . At Rotenburgh the Conservatives were successful —[ It was natural that the Conservatives ibould triumph in Roi ( t ) en-bargb . j
ITALY . The « Rtforma' of Lucca , of tbe 8 th , has the following from Parma : —' Madame . Teresa Zavaroni Ferrari , of Reggio , had come to Parma with her husband on private business . This lady is very pretty , and as she wore a white beaver bonnet with a ved riband , several persons followed her , upon which she was arrested by the' police . An officer of the carabineers condemned her to receive twenty-five strokes with a cane . Madame Ferrari
appealed to Cdonel Mell , who is a townsman of hers , and pleaded that at Keggio audi hats were penoittcd , aad that they ted no political significa « on . Notwithstanding this , the gallant colonel showed an intention of enforcing the sentence- but she screamed and straggled so , that she was at last icleajed . wtthanmjauctiontoJeave the town instantly , ihe obnoxious bonaet was confiscated " sSEt vot 5 f * d » NACLSa , .

difficult for those who support King Ferdinand in the British parliament and the British press to justify what is . now going oa in Naples . The most sincere friend of despotism must regret a policy which leads to republicanism , whilst the lover of justice and honesty will shudder at the violation , of every law of civilisation . Arrests continue . Some thirty paid agents of the government are employed denouncing everyone suspected of constitutional opinions . Upon the testimony of one of these degraded scoundrels the ex-deputy Maya , who has printed his protest against any movement previous to tbe revolt of May 15 th , is under an order of arrest as a revolutionist . Many others are in a similar position . Regaldi , the- well-known poet , has actually fallen into the hands of the police without any accusation whatever . The deputies Poerio ,
Pica , Arossa , Barbaraze , Dra & onetti , and Spaventa are victims of this system . Enough that tbey were supporters of the constitution , and faithful to the King ' s oath . That is the real crime ; but the agents of re-action will identify them with tbe revolt of the 15 ih of May . That the majority of ih ? deputies refused to take the oaths which the articles of February imposed is perfectly true , because the king himself abolished them by the decree of April ; and Ferdinand , profiting by this circumstance , organised the revolt through the instrumentaiity of Ruggiero and Bozzelli , who were appointed ministers on the 16 th of May . The events of Europe have enabled the Camarilla to take their revenge , and the best men of the country are now the victims of a police which a demoralised country like Haples alone could produce .
Rome , Nov . 10 . —The change in the French ministry appears to have dispelled every idea of ihe Pope ' s return , the timid camarilla at Portica having again resolved to wait and see the turn of events in France before abandoning the hospitable shores of Naples . Calaudrelli , the skilful major of artillery , whose exertions in the defence of Rome was so destructive to the French , and vho accepted the office of triumvir alter the resignation of Mazzini , has been recently imprisoned , having obstinately refused to
leave bis native city . How long be may have to remain in durance vile no one can say ; for the other prisoners , who , like Cemuschi , were arrested soon after the entry of the French , have spent four months already in prison , without being able to get judged or released . Cemuschi is generally considered to be the victim of a vindictive feeling on the part of General Oudinot , on account of the severe language with which he reprimanded the general ' s prevarications and deceitful proclamations on disembarking at Civita Vecchia .
A pa : quinade , lately composed , purports to represent the respective feelings of the Italian , French , and Spanish soldiers in the la'e war , in a suppositious conversation between three soldiers , one of each nation . * We fought for liberty , ' cries the Roman , 'We marched , * says the Spaniard , ' to get a little extra pay ; ' 'And * we / roars the Frenchman , in King Cambyses' vein , ' pour Chonnenr ! ' 'In fact , ' sums up the Roman , « we all sought to obtain that which we had not . '
GERMANY . Letters from Munich bring tbe information that the Countess Battbyany , the widow of tbe murdered Count Louis , had arrived there accompanied by Count Paul Francis Zichy . They are about to proceed to the Bodensee . The Hanoverian Chamber has adopted a proposition fcr an amnesty towards all political and press offenders , by a large majority . The ministry advocated a less extensive amnesty . A telegraph despatch from Berlin , dated the 18 th inst ., stales that in the sitting of tbe Council , of Administration of tbe previous day the elections for the German Parliament were decreed to take place on the 31 st January . Erfurt has been definitively designated as the seat of the Parliament .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . A newspaper , conducted by Count Festeties , and entitled' Morgen Post , ' has been suppressed by the authorities . The war contribution imposed on tbe Jews of Pesth and Buda is not remitted , it seems , after all . After the order of General Haynan had been given out some days back that these unhappy Israelites should furnish within forty-eight hours the second instalment of their fine , amounting to 200 , 000 florins , and twenty hostages were indicated , who would be held strictly responsible for the discharge of this obligation ; a second official announcement followed , retracting the first order , as founded on a' mistake / and substituting an amendment to the effect -that of the total contribution imposed upon the Jews of
Hungary , which amounted to two millions ar . d a half of florins , not one penny would be remitted ; but that as it was ascertained that several Hebrew communities , like that of Buda , were unable to pay their quota , the whole fine should be divided among the whole of the Hungarian Jews in common , with the exception of those of Presburg and Tcmeswar . On the 9 th iust . the Jews of Pesth were called upon to ' pay between fifty and sixty thousand florins without delay in silver . In vain the victims deprecated tbe unreasonable aggravation of their lot by demanding metal , which could only be procured at an enormous agio , while the notes secured on the revenue of Hungary are obliged to be taken at all government cash-offices . Of course General Haynau was deaf to such arguments .
The ' Pesther Zeitung brings a fresh batch of nine court-martial sentences , four to death by powder and lead , and tbe remainder to various term ' s from three to fifteen years of imprisonment , with hard labour in irons . The sentences to death were , in conformity with the late government order sent to Pesth , not executed , and commuted to fifteen years of imprisonment , with hard labour in irons . The offenders so sentenced were three of them members of a tribunal under the revolutionary government at Grosswarnein . Another of the prisoners is Thomas Bruno , a Franciscan monk from Rome , aged fifty-two , who was convicted of having armed himself with a musket , and joined the insurgents at tbe rising of the landsturm at Stublweissenburg .
A lady named Korosy , aged fifty-seven years , and mother of three children , has been tried by court-martial at Retteg , in Transylvania , for retain * ing " > possession two handsome fowling-pieces , that were left by her deceased husband six years ago , and condemned to three weeks'imprisonment in irons , sharpened by two days' fast in each week . Vienna , Nov . 14 . —Kolossy , who has just been apprehended at Pesth , for the part he took in the « murder * of Count Lamberg , was examined by the police authorities for several hours on the 10 th . The prisoner is a Wailach of Transylvania , During sis years he led a quiet obscure life in Pesth as a
private teacher , giving lessons by the hour . Afterwards he retired to Hermannstadt . When the place of his concealment was discovered , by a love-letter signed with his name , and just a week before his arrest , he provided himself with a false passport under the name of Donat , and came to Pesth , where he presented himself , according to the rule , in tbe police-office . When arrested , he seemed , from his equipment , to be on the point of departure . During his , examination he exhibited nerve and confidence . The remaining Hungarian officers , in number thirty-six , who were confined in the New-building , were transported to Arad on the llth inst .
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . ( From the ' Morning Chronicle . ' ) Letters from Vienna of the llth inst . have been received in Loudon and at Paris , calculated to convey the supposition that a new complication bad arisen in the extradition question between Russia and Turkey . We are enabled to state that this question may be regarded as completely settled ; all that tbe Emperor insists upon , and to which the Sultan is willing to comply , is the removal of the refugees into the interior of Asia Minor , or at all events from the frontier , as dangerous to the peace of both countries . There is no truth in the rumour that Turkey intends abandoning her sovereignty over the Danubian principalities ; the rumour arose in the withdrawal of a portion of the Turkish troops under Omer Pacha , the reason for which was to quell an insurrectionary movement in Bulgaria .
By the arrival of tbe Urm mail we have received the Constantinople journals of the 4 th inst . Tne * Journal de Constantinople' ef that date says : ~ « The news received yesterday by the steamer from Odessa , the Crimea , leaves no doubt of the settlemerit of the difficulty with Russia . This steamer had on board Latif : Aga , aide-de-camp of Omer Pacha , and who accompanied Fuad Effendi on his mnnoa to St . Petersburg ,- 8 „ d it ajso had on board a Russian cabinet courier . The former brought desparcbes of the Imperial ambassador for the Sublime Porte , the second despatches from the cabinet ol St . Petersburg for M . Titoff .

We mav therefore , consider the affair as terminated , and diplomatic relations between the Porte and the legations of Austria and Russia as renewed . This sol ution / which satisfies all interests , will be received wit h joy by everybody . 5 Latif Effendi
C onstantinople , Nov . . — , seeretary to Fuad Effendi , the Turkish envoy at St . Petersburg , arrived here on the 3 rd inst . He was the bearer of despatches from Fuad Effendi to the Turkish government , giving the details of the audience granted by the Emperor Nicholas to the envoy of the Porte . Fuad Effendi expressed himself pleased with tbe reception given him by his imperial majesty , and augurs , from the amicable tone in which he was addressed by the Cfcir , that the present difference between Turkey and Russia will be speedily settled in a peaceable and satisfactory manner . Further than this , the long-expected audience had no other result , and Fuad Effendi had nothing but surmises , seemingly , however well founded , to send to his government .
Notwithstanding the news from Russia , the British fleet has entered the Dardanelles . The notes of M . de Titoff and Count Stunner , alluded to above , and which are the result of instructions received by these ambassadors from their respective governments , at nearly the same time that Fuad Effendi ' s despatches arrived at the Porte , giving an account of his friendly reception by the Czar , have greatly irritated the Turkish , gavetameut . The grand council have met to consider these fresh demands of the Russian and Austrian cabinets , and it is understood that the notes of M . de Titoff and Count Sturmer have been met by a refusal . Thia question , therefore , continues to be complicated , and the presence of the British fleet in the Dardanelles has offered a new and very serious
difficulty to its speedy arrangement . General Aupick has instituted a subscription for the relief of the Hungarian and Polish refugees in Turkey . - Sir Stratford Canning has joint d in this good work , and a committee has been formed under the auspices of both ambassadors for its furtherance . The Porte have given their authority to this charitable proceeding , and it is even said that the Sultan has subscribed a large sum .
Tbe Russians , in their late negotiations with the Circassians for peace , have offered such terras at prove their great anxiety to have at disposal the troops engaged in the endless Caucasian campaigns . It is said that they consent to restore all the iortresses except Sukum Raleh and Anapa , and to acknowledge the independence of the Circassians if they will only grant the raising of recruits for the Russian army in their territory ,- and acknowledge
the Russian protectorate . The Circassians rejected these conditions , and senl deputies to the Turkish government to ask lounsel and negotiate a strict alliance / These deputies are the Sultan Gueray , th « three brothers , Twty Ojlou , and an envoy from Schamyl . The latter states that emissaries of Schamyl are scouring Crim Tartary in every direction to pick up adherents , and prepare the Tartars to join them in prosecuting hostilities against tbe Russians .
EGYPT . A letter from Cairo , in the ' Journal de Constantinople / of the 29 th ult „ states that perfeel tranquillity continued to prevail in all parts of Egypt . The annual overflow of the Nile had taken place , whereby the fertility of the land in the ensuing year is rendered certain . GREECE . It is stated in a letter from Athens , addressed to one of the Constantinople journals , that the Rus . sian government had sent a strongly-worded and even threatening note to that of Greece , complaining of the reception given to political refugees .
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . ARRIVAL OF THE CONVICTS . ' We have received advices from the Cape down to the 21 st of September , from which we learn that the Neptune bad arrived at Simon ' s Bay with 282 convicts on board . The following account of her arrival is extracted from the Cape of Good Hope' Shipping and Mercantile Gazette' : — ' The Neptune ( which left Bermuda on April the 22 nd , and Pernambuco on August llth , ) arrived in Simon ' s Bay about 6 p . m . on Wednesday last , wiih 282 convicts on board , seven bav ' mg died at sea . At nine her arrival was known in Cape Town , and
at half past twelve the same night the members of the Anti-Convict Committee of Vigilance proceeded to Simon's Bay , to take such immediate precautions as the case might require . Early the next morning the alarm was given by the sounding of the gong at the fown-hall , and the tolling of bells in the churches . Though great excitement prevailed , the general feeling was evidently one of relief and satisfaction . No difference of opinion appeared to exist as to the necessity of employing instant and decisive measures to put an end to the suspense and anxiety which have now prevailed for nearly three months , and have been—as was justly remarked liv
a member of the association—' disorganising everything , government , society , and business of every kind . ' About eleven o ' clock a letter was sent to his Excellency by the Municipal Board of Cape Town , stating in plain terms , that as ' the people have determined that the convicts must not , can not , and shall not be landed , or be kept in any of the ports of this colony / the board trusted his Excellency , in accordance with his often expressed desire to promote the well being of the colonists , would order the Neptune , after victualling , to leave our shores , and declaring that his Excellency would he responsible for any consequences that might ensue
from his refusal to accede to this request . At halfpast twelve a reply was received , informing the board that his Excellency would adhere to the determination which he bad previously announced , not to relieve the surgeon-superintendent . The shi p would , therefore , ride at anchor in Simon ' s Bay until advices v ? ere received from the Home government , which would probably be within a month or six weeks . His Excellency concluded by regretting the tone of the board ' s letter , which the prevailing excitement might excuse but could not justify . The
reading of the letter was followed by groans and oiher expressions of disapprobation . No further proceedings were immediately taken , as it was COBsidered advisable to wait for the report of the committee at Simon ' s Bay . The excitement throughout the town continued to increase Many mercantile establishments were closed and business was generally suspended . The perfect union and fixed determination which exist leave no doubt that the peace , ful and legal measures which will be adopted will be crowned with complete success . '
INDIA . The news hy the overland mail is of secondary importance . The deplorable condition of Indian finance was the engrossing topic of conversation at Bombay . ' For the last ten years / remarks the « Bombay Times , '' we have been spending continually from three-fourths of a million to two millions and a half beyond our means . We have extinguished since 1838 a balance of nearly ten millions , converted a surplus of from half to a whole million into a deficit of double the amount , and got rid of an addition since made to our revenue of nearly two millions per annum / This gross
extravagance is imputed by the ' Bombay Times' to the warlike policy of the Home government . The Governor-General ot India , had been for some time indisposed , and not having experienced much benefit from his ' trip to the mountains , proposed visiting Bombay about the beginning of next year , with the view of taking a sea-yoyage , if necessarv . His retirement at the present moment would be a source of general regret in India . Sir H . Pottinger and Lord Falkland were at their respective seats of government . From the interior there is barely a line of intelligence . The Sirdars Chuttur and Shere Singh , with several others , had been seized and
imprisoned at Lahore , on suspicion of foul play towards the English government . The accounts of the crops from all parts of the Peninsula were favourable , and at Bombay the cholera was abating . Tbe affairs of Oude were greatly disorganised anil n was thou ght that the English government WOt , ld assume the entire management of tbe country , in conformity with the treaty to that effect , paying the surpl us revenue into the treasury of the Kfo » , " who was to be allowed no interference .

CANADA . Our Montreal dates are to tbe 3 rd of November The Canadian ministers have taken up their around strongly and unequivocally against annexa-Son - acting as well as speaking . All holders of office under it who have declared themselves annexadoato are being displaced . Messrs Rone and Tohnson members of the Lower Canada bar , and 0 ueen ' sC " nnsel , have been deprived of their silk Coras . A circular has been addressed by the adjutant-eeneral of militia to all officers ( if any ) who have signed the . annexation address and to state Sether they signed it of their own free will , or under intimidation . The provincial secretary has instituted a similar inquiry respecting justices of the
peace . ,, „ , „ , „ : _ The " Governor . General has come to an open collision with Mr . Gowan . Past Grand Master of the Oranee Association in Canada , and the real head of the order alike when in and when out of office , Lord Elgin has erased Mr . Gowan ' s name from the list of justices of the peace , and has dismissed him from the militia in which he was a lieutenant-colonel . The reason for this step is understood to have been Mr . Gowan's participation in the Brookville meeting , at which among other outrages Lord Elgin was burned in Effigy .
.... M . Papineau has come out as an annexationist . M . Papineau , however seems to stand pretty much alone in Canada . The French' are at present divided into two parties ; the men of the old school headed by the Seigneurs end the Roman Catholic clergy 5 ' Young Canada / of which the most active members are young barristers . M . Papineau is said to belong to the latter , but 150 of ' Young Canada signed the Montreal anti-annexation address . The clergy and the Seigneurs are decidedly opposed to ¦
annexation . There are increasing rumours of a dissolution of the House of Assembly . If they should prove true it is expected the elections will turn upon ' annexation' and ' British connexion . ' The coolness with which the Americans have received tbe news of tbe annexation movement has thrown cold water upon it .
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . New York , Nov . 6 th . —The arrival of the steamer with the astounding news of a large advance in the price of cotton has had a very curious effect on the public mind . To the public it was quite unexpected for we believe here that prices never suddenly advance in England on American produce without a panic or a sudden necessity . We suppose that all the cotton we had to sell might have been obtained at former rates , if the English dealers bad acted in concert . A single paragraph in one of your leading journals , stating that there was a fair supply , of cotton , er that some of your irlills had stooped work ,
would have knocked the article down some fractions of a penny . We now suppose that the knowledge of the state of . our crops led to a fear of an unusually short supply , and that this induced the strongest buyers to obtain what they required without delay . I have taken some pains to-day to ascertain the conditionof the present crop . It is very poor , and sadly deficient in quantity . The ravages of the worm have been dreadful ; and I am now prepared to say that cotton must advance in your markets , even on the present rates . Nor is this all . We imagine that we shall have again to furnish a large amount of provisions for the Irish during the approaching
winter . Among the other events of the day , is the rapid growth of cotton manufactories in the southern states . South Carolina is particularly turning her attention to the business , and this emulatien of hers is akin to the political feeling of independence her people cherish with so much ardour . They are so opposed to the north in many particulars , that if possible they would raise everything at home winch they consume at home , and they are determined that if the northern states continue to assail slavery they shall no longer clothe their s ' aves ; at which the friends of American industry set up a broad grin , and inquire if South Carolina intends to become a tariff Etatel
An interesting attempt is now making in South Carolina by a gentleman , formerly well known in London ( Junius Smith , ) to cultivate tbe tea plant . He selected a place where the temperature was mild and equable , and has found his plants uncommonly promising . The black and green are now in full blossom , and in a few weeks he expects to make his first crop . He is perfectly sanguine of suecess . and of making tbe Southern States profitable competitors in tbe tea marts with China itself . He has also succeeded in producing the almond . An important discovery has been made in the State of Missouri , which is hailed with' much satisfaction . It is found that rice may be cultivated there with perfect success . This w \ U be a material addition to the value of her staples .
Miss Bremer has been the object of much curiosity here . But the public enthusiasm has received a damper in the discovery that she is pretty well advanced in years , and is ' anything but handsome . At Vera Cruz , a fatal disorder bad broken out , called the bobo , which was more dreaded than the cholera . Mexico on the whole does not appear to be in a prosperous state . Its transitions are those of one exigency succeeding another , rather than the advances of a strong and clear political sagacity .
Certainly its millenium is very far off . Private accounts justify these sentiments . They assure us that there is no longer any security for life or propertyin Mexico , that assassinations and robberies are frequent in broad day ligbti A hot war is carried on between ' II Siglio / and ' El Monitor' on the subject of Santa Anna ' s return , while we are assured that the feeling of all classes except these who are in the enjoyment of power , is in favour of annexation to the United States . Since the departure of the American troops , there has been no tran ; quillity .
CALIFORNIA The Pandora just arrived . at Portsmouth , has brought home an immense variety of specimens o ( natural history for various museums , among them are two mammoth tusks , weighing nearly three hundred weight each , and obtained on the north west coast of America . Also , about £ J 5 , 000 in gold from California , which was conveyed to the Bank of England . The « diggins' at California induced one man and a boy to run from the Pandora and it seems that the man , J . Coombs , had been very successful as he was speedily in command , and owner of a very fine schooner , in addition to two similar vessels he had purchased .
PITCAIRN'S ISLAND , PACIFIC OCEAN . Letters from this colony have been brought by the Pandora , which contains some interesting details relative to the island , and the descendants Of the unfortunate men connected with tbe mutiny of tbe Bounty , and from which we make the following extracts . ' Pitcairn ' s Island , July , 1849 .-The number of inhabitants 149 — males seyenty-five , females ,
severity-four—of this number three are English , one a Tabitian woman , widow of Edward Young , midshipman of the Bounty , aged 80 , two men of the first generation , one of them a son of John Adams ( Bounty ) named Arthur and the other a son of Matthew Quintal ( Bounty ) named George , seven females of tbe first generation , three daughters of Adams , one of Christian , one of Young , one of Mills , one of M ' Coy , tbe remainder are children of the second and third generation .
• During the last five years , one-fifth of the population have been born , and only one has died a na . tural death , one of lock-jaw , and a child burned to death . The inhabitants are occupied chiefly in cultivating the ground and carpentering ; several of the young men are good at cabinet work , and as blacksmiths . There are eight marriageable males and seven females at present unmarried . The soil is very rich but porousj a great praportiondecomposed lava , tbe other a rich black earth and clayey ground The climate is temperate ; thermometer from fiftynine to eighty-nine in the shade . The spring commences m August , which is harvest time , and yams and potatoes are dug , which is the principal food and . of potatoes there are two crops per year , which are planted in February and Jul y and dug in June an November . There are no regular 5 e winds from * S 7 m bs xJhe * ind P ^ la mos tly from E . S . E . to north . Northerly winds are gene-

With the winds from S . vl . itis generally clear weather , with moderate breezss . j In winter prevailing winds are S . W . to E S . E . The ; animal and vegetable productions of the island : goats , hogs , and poultry , yams , sweet and Irish po- . tatoes , the api-root and tarro in small quantities . ; rallv liffht . Often aeenmnamed Wlttt ram ur i"B » .
Plaintains : pines , melons , oranges , bread fruit , siiRar-canes , limes , and the vi , or Brazilian plum-The only grain is maize . The food of the inhabitants is chiefly yams and potatoes ; animal food two or three times a week . Fish are getting scarce . Bed-clothes are generally manYrtacVmred by the females , from the ante , or paper mulberry . Wearing apparel is obtained from the whale ships , in exchange for vegetables , & c . Cotton cloth is much wanted . Blankets and woollen articles , and soap ,
very scarce . The average number of ships touching at the island annually is eight or nine , mostly Americans , and they always behave well . Last year there were seven ships , ten less than in 1847 , the last vessel that touched there was an English brig , from New Zealand , bound to California with emigrants , there being eight Eng lish women amongst them . ' On ths 1 st day of each year a chief magis'rate and councillor are elected , all persons ( male and female ) over sixteen years of age are voters . The chief magistrate then chooses his counsellor or secretary . Tbe duly of the magistrate is to convene
meetings and hf ar cases ; it is then left to a jury of five persons , and if the decision is not satisfactory to both parties , they are allowed to appeal to the commander of her Majesty's ships of war , punishments are generally fines or labour . The inhabitants generally retire to rest early , and rise with the sun . From August to November they have plenty of employment , digging yams , also planting bananas , yams , and potatoes , weeding ground & c , and when not busily employed they generally meet in the morning , and if the weather is favourable go fishing ; if not on Saturdays , they go out hunting for a Sunday ' s dinner . On tbe arrival of a ship off the island no
one is allowed to go on board before the pilot , who always takes charge of the boats when landing , and provides for the caotain whea on shore , each family in rotation furnishing a pilot , or providing a substitute ; who always expects a small remuneration for his services . The females generally asrist in the cultivation of the ground , preparing thatch for the houses , & c , and , in fact , are more employed than the males : they are generally very strong , many of them being able to carry a barrel of potatoes down to the landing place , the path to which is very rugged and steep , and in the rainy season very difficult to ascend or descend . Since 1831 there have
been 16 deaths : 4 of them accidentally , 4 of fever , 1 a disease of the ear , 1 of the heart , 1 of cancer , 1 of consumption ; 2 of influenza , 1 in childbirth , and 1 in infancy . The diseases most prevalent are asthma and catarrh , which prevail mostly among the females ; bilious attacks are frequent but slight , and easily give way to treatment . Influenza had visited the island during the last seven years , and caused 2 deaths /
