4 Mr.. Calhoun, our readers will recollect, cor
responds with the "Teleeraph" This is per
feciIy in character. No one ought 10 be Sur
pr;sed at the fact, no matter how much they
may regret it, and lamen, the degrading spec
tacle Of Vice President Of The U. S. the con-
fidepiiaI friend OF Duff Green! Par Mobile fra
trum. "Birds Of feather, will flock together
Gov. Taylor, of S. e.. in speech delivered
at public dinner on the fourth, disoountenan,
ces the scheme Of the disorganizers. "Look,'
states, aggrieved as we are Sy these laws Has
North Carolina, Georgia or Virginia advoc ated
the measure Of conventions among the in
jured States, Of Withdrawals Of Senator'S and
Representatives from the floor of Congress?
Shall South Carolina, propelled by rashness,
start alone for the goal, in the expectation that
other states will follow? No, gentlemen. our
own citizens would not follow their leaders, 1t
their leaders should commit this folly"
This is language which we are glad to hear
1t is said that the new friga,e Hudson,
now fitting for sea at New-York, is TO convey
Mr. Barbour, the new Minister, TO England,
and proceed thence to Brazil.
We have made further extracts from The
foreign news brough, by the arrival last from
Europe. Affairs in that quarter OF the globe
demand attention.
The account Of The Tunnel near Liverpool
will be found interes,ing-cspecially at this
time, when the spirit of improvement is abroad
upon the face Of the earth.
The Boston Patriot gives an account OF
new musical instrument invented by Mr. Stew
art of that ciiy-Il is played by keys or stops,
which are so closely arranged that the perior-
mer can strike eleven notes at the same time
The fullness Of tone produced is equal 10 the
diapason stop Of grand organ, combined with
the smooth, soft, sweet SQUAD Of the musical
glasses and the duloet strains Of the Eolan
Harp. Its compass is four octavrs with all
the semi,ones comp!e,s-thereiore piecc oil
music can be transposed on i, to every possible
key But tha, which creates the greatest aston
nishment is, that The instrument is portable, as
i, occupies less than half cubic foo, in space,
and weighs only fourteen pounds.
II appears that Mr.. Huski,son is rather SUR
p,ised at his own resignation. The Duke oil
Wellington received aud acted upon the very
polite letter OF the Hon. Gentleman in a very
ri of
the frequent changes Of ministry, in England,
Of late. A military chieftain at the head OF
civil affairs does not, even there, seem to meet
the wishes of,he people. "You might as well
attempt to make a cocka soldier or goose a
sailor" SC.
We are happy to state says the New York
Daily Advertiser that there is great reason to
believe tina, the account we published few
DAYS ago, OF the des'ruct ton OF the packe, be-
tween Bordeaux and Vera Ciuz by pirates will
prove to be altogether incorrect. Numerous
lrt,ers were received in this city from Havana
by The same vessel which brought the one
from which our extract was made, and none SO
far as we have heard, made any allusion 10 the
subject. Had such story been received and
credited, il could not have failed to obtain Sc H.
eral circulation, and TO be mentioned to the
correspondence Of commercial men. Besides
the Bordeaux Packet Of April, as the Gazette
of yesterday remarks, left "Vera Cruz on the
l7,h Of that month, with SO passengers, and
put into this port all well on the goth May,
for supply OF provisions. The May packet
sailed from Vera Cruz, for Bordeaux. ON the
22d, with only one passenger, and could no, Of
course, have been of the Colorados the begin
ming the month"
FROM HAVANA.
