LArnsT FROM EUROPE.

By the arrival of the packet ship Napoleon, Capt Smith, from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 24th April, the Editofsof the New-York Mercantile Advertiser have received their regular files of Lon don papers to the 24th, Liverpool to the 23d, ano Glasgow to the 20th April, all inclusive
 In relation to the affairs of England, the most in teresting information to us, and the most important measure to that country, is the propagation of Far lament, being step which will be followed almos imm edately by the dissolution The Reform Bil which was the order of the day for the 18th April was then taken up; the debates on this question, subject arising thereirom, with some of secondary consideration, are very voluminous. From Monday the 18th till Friday the 22d April, when the King r person prorogued Parliament, the reports in the At las, fill upwards of haTtyt,cO columns closely printed matter-their great length renders it absolutely inn possible to give a summary of the various to- pics that engaged the attention of the conflicting speakers even to read them carefully would occu- py more time than will intervene betwixt the re- ceipt ofour files and the hour paper should go to press. As far as we have been able to peruse the debates, and read the remarks of the London Jour naists, we are convinced, that neither in our day has there occurred, in history since the time of Charles 2d, is there recorded. such stormy and tu- muuous proceedings in the British Parliament, as took place between the 18th and 22d April, ISL Tn both Houses majority of the speaking members exceeded all bounds of order and decorum in de- bate-thelr tempers overloaded beyond all dis creton-and in several instances their language out ragged common courtesy so grossly, that the London Journalists declined to publish their se0rdsi This is sad episode on English refinement!
 The Reform Bill has caused much irritation in- doors and much anxiety without Lord Grey, though supported by tho King and the people, has boon fore ed to abandon the idea of carrying his measure, as the iate Parliament was composed-the high toned Arstocrats and their servile parasites were too pow erfu for him. By our brief notice in another CO., umn, it willbe seen that on Gen Gascoyne's amend ment on the 18th, and on Mir Rankes' motion for ad- journment the 21st, ministers were in the minori- ty What course was in this emergency left them to pursue Resignation only, and the alternative with the King was either to accept their resignation or dissolve Parliament Wisely he chose the latter alternative-nine-tenths of his people will applaud him for his decision: it was determined upon on the nstant.-BaH Pat.

TRAvELLER'S REST,
 AND SUMMER RETREAT.

AT THE SIGN OF THE RISING SUN, TUSCALOOSA. TE HE proprietor of the ClIY-HOTEL
 H returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solicits a continuance of their favors; also requests the public, generally, to give his house .trial, and although he may have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favoring him with their patronage from the use thereof, or from keeping their rooms supplied with them honest and obliging servants will al ways be at hand to execute any commands which the wants or comfort of guests may re- quire. This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in its construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times. The un- paralleled health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that we can with great propriety invite persons who wish to find healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us We have Mineral Spring, two miles from the city, to which ma ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be plea- sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda- ton of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex- ertion to please will render his house plea sant residence to such as favor him with their patronage.
 To this establishment belongs very exten- sive stables, which will always be stored with the best of provender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful ostlers, with a convenient lot for droves, 8lc.
 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per- manent in the business, owing to the conhne- ment, SIc., l am disposed to sell out the es- tablishment, but the business being profta- ble enc, will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of it, because am offering to sell, but will rather be more attentive than other wise. This establishment affords also one of the best stands for merchandise in the place, and has very fine finished rooms for that hu sness, attached to which is very fine watre proof cellar.
 As do not propose selling for the purpose ot raising money particularly, will extend the credit to great length of time-the mo ney being we'll secured, anl the interest paid annually.
 also, have several tracts of land, and some lots in this place, which would sell on very extensive credits. JOHN MEEK.

 The public are also cautioned against pur- chasing medicines from those who are not au- horized Agents, as many are selling articles under the name of Thompson's Medicines, which have nothing but the name to recon. mend them, and many articles sold by them, are even poisonous, and act in direct opposi. ton to the principles of the Thompsonian sys. tenn. Therefore, those that wish for genuine medicines, will do well to examine into the authority of those from whom they purchase ! as all authorized, will be furnished with a printed article signed either by Samue | Thompson or PIKE, PLATT, & Go.

esEAREWARD.--wa as stolen, or

elpeBV runaway about the first of No vember last, from the possession of Joseph Pickens, living in the Big Cove, Madison county, Ala. (from whom I purchased him after he was decoyed off, or had absconded, ) a likely negro man named JACK, aged d. bout S5 years; above the usual size, being both stcut and tall; very bow-legged; of d dark complexion approaching to yellow no scars or distinctive marks recolected; is a smart negro, and talks boldly, fuently and well. The said negro was seen in Mobile on the 1st of this month, and by an advertisement in the Mobile Patriot of the following day it appears that he had then left the possession of one Todd, by absconding. The said negro formerly belonged to a certain Cornelius Todd, who sold him to Jno. Hardie of Whites burg, by whom, after an undisturbed possess sion of 12 months, he was sold to the subscri- Der, who afterwards sold him to said Pickens, but subsequently pur hased him again. The said Food always refused to execute a bill of sale for the said slave to MT Hardie, and left this part of the country about the time the ne- gro disappeared, but afterwards returned;- he has however been gone from this county for about 9 months past. Under these cir cumstances, the strongest probability exists that the said Cornelius Todd has enticed said negro away.-The above reward will be paid for the delivery of said negro to me living a. bout miles Northwest of Ditto's Landing. or Iaventy.f fue Collars if he is secured in any jail in this State so that get him again.

Prospectus for ueekly newspaper to Je published at

 S0tttterM arGu9.

E TN commencing the publication of the Som- M Mern Argus the Editors deem it unneces- sary to descant largely on the political course they intend pursuing, or make extraordinary professions of patriotism and devotion to the public interest. Tt may not, however, be inn proper to add-that reposing due confidence in the present Administration of the General Government-and believing that the stability of our Republican Institutions depends much on its continuance for another constitutional term, we shall undeavor, by all laudable means, to promote the reelection of ANDREW JACKSON to that station he has filled with so much honor to himself and benefit to the na- ton.
 We look to the extinguishment of the Ma tional Debt, as that favored period when eQui- ty suggests the propriety of a reduction of our impost duties to level corresponding with the current expenses of Government, and be- lieve that all constitutional means should be resorted to, by the friends of equal rights to ensure this desirable end: yet, while we de- precate the tariff as injurious to the Southern interest, we conceive the doctrine of nullifi- cation as hazardous to the existence of the Union, and feel more inclined to endure, while evils are sufferable, than resort to such mea- sures for relief, as are at all times dangerous and extremely uncertain.
 We believe 1t should be the duty Of those who profess to be the organs of public senti- ment, to cultivate an amicable spirit of Par liamentaiy disquisition, on such topics as may present themselves to popular discussion. It cannot but be regretted, however, that there are those who make the public good the blow ing-horn of their moral and political creed ; and, under the garb of hretendcd "INDEPEN- DENCE," assail, in the most wanton and un- provoked manner, such portion of their fel- low citizens as are incapable of being driven by rancorous abuse, to an abandonment of their respective positions;-we therefore dis claim all connexion with such self-created ordeals Of yitiated taste as neither honorble in their nature, nor justifable in their exer- else.
 TERMS.-The Southern Argus will be printed on fine sheet, equal in size to the largest papers in the State, with new type, and delivered to subscribers at the rate of S4 per annum in advance, or $ at the end of the year.
 Any person procuring six subscribers, and becoming responsible for the same, shall have q seventh copy gratis.

 beautiful uniform edition, with elegant Engavngs WNHIS work has high and commanding
 H claim upon all females. It is as well and probably better calculated to give the female mind a proper direction than any thing of the kind that has ever appeared before the pub lie. The Lectures blend amusement with n- struction to an eminent degree; they please the fancy of youthful minds, by holding up to their view the shadow of the fiction, until they are insensibly conducted into the midst of moral and religious instruction. I trust that every father who is anxious for the well fare of his daughters, will put this little intel lectual treasure into their hands it will i'm prove their hearts, form their manners, en tighten their understandings. Much of the happiness of every family depends upon the proper cultivation of the female mind. For sale by jul 9] D. WOODRUFF.

PREPARAToRY & FEMALE
 SCHOOL.

"TITH much pleasure we again announce
 w to the public, that the second session of the PREP TERRITORY AND FEMALE SCHOOL, for the current year, under our superintendance, went into operation on Mon day the 10th ut. under auspices highly flat tering, ninety-one having already come in to claim membership. This fact fully con vinces us that we must have rendered general satisfaction at our last examination, and that our patrons yet have great faith in good or der, strict attention to business and accurate instruction in order to make scholar. These advantages we profess to bestow upon all our pupils. We have again engaged the services of Mir J. s. FIRSTLY, late of S. c. gen tleman of ample qualifications, of excellent moral character, and of long experience in the business of teaching.
 From the united efforts of the present num- Der of teachers now engaged, we fully be- lieve, and have no hesitancy in declaring to the public, that we feel ourselves able to be- stow any advantage of instruction, in either department, that can be bestowed, in any simi- lar institution in the State. We shall, by the first favorable opportunity, send tor globes, maps, and other apparatus that we now need for the use of our school. The best of tutors shall be employed to assist whenever assis- tance becomes necessary, and the most ap- proved textbooks used. In order that we may not fall short in our wishes to accommo- date our pupils with the necessary means of instruction, we solicit the continuation of the liberal patronage, that has hitherto accompa- nied us in our past exertions. Having tor cer- tain reasons, varied our terms of tuition, we here give the rates attached to the several branches taught in our school. to wit: For Spelling, Reading and Writing S6 per ses-- slon; for Arithmetic, English Grammar and Geography, S1o per session; and for Latin, Greek, the higher branches of the Mathe- matics, including Geometry, Trigonometry, Mensuration of heights and distances, Alge- bra, Natural and Moral Philosophy, Logic, Rhetoric, S1c. S15 per session, paid at the end of the term. PRICE & GARVIN.
 P. s. Though our School is large and week ly increasing, yet ample provision is made for the accommodation of great many more. Should the increasing number require it, oth- CT teachers of character and standing will be procured. F. & G.
