WING CONVENTION.

The proposed Wing Convention to be
held at jackson on the fourth Monday in
january next, seems to have met the gen,
raj appreciation of the party throughout the
State. Already in many of the counties
the Wings have been holding meetings fol
the purpose of choosing delegates; and there
can be no doubt that the Convention will be
avery large and respectable one.
We think it is high time that the Wings
OF Jefferson county should be taking steps
to insure representation in the Conven-
vention. We hope that after their glorious
acqnitial in the late struggle against CIai
borne and Gholson, they will not become
weary nor listless; but, taking encourage
ment from the success of former efforts, will
be melted to renewed exertions for the re.
storation of those principles of government
which are so essential TO the well being and
happiness of the American people. Never
were the prospects of the Wings brighter
the star of their destiny is in the ascead-
ant, and invites them onward to triumph
and to victory. The work of political rege.
neration cannot be stopped-and if the
wings will but persevere for short time
their progress will be attended with but
few and small implements, which will be
easily overcome.

The following is from tho correspondence
Of the New York Herald, received by the
Royal William:
Itscems that Mr.. Henderson, the diploma
tic agent from Texas, was in France in the
month Of August or September. In Paris,
we learn that he had effected commercial
treaty with England. As soon as this i'm
portant point had been effected in London,
Mr.. Henderson proceeded to Paris, to nego-
tate similar treaty there. While in Par
is, the news of the blockade of Mexico gave
new view to the position Of affairs. 1t is
supposed thatif Mexico did not settle her
difference with France, that, by some secret
arrangement, the Texans would attack
Mexico by land, simultaneously with the at
tack by the French fleet by sea. All that
the government of Texas wanted to raise ten
thousand men in the western States, was a
suficiency ofmoney. This advance might
he made by France on a secret treaty, Civ
ing great advantages to the Texans. On
the other hand, the diplomatic agents of
Mexico and the Buenos Ayrean government
were not idle in England. TWAS currently
stated in the best informed circles in Lon
don, that preparations were made to attack
French commerce by sea, as soon as the
first intimation that gun had been fred on
San Juan de Ulloa, or whenever Mexico
had declared war against France. Swift
sailing vessels we're rapidly preparing on
the Thames, on the Mersey and at Bristol,
ready to issue at any moment, and to act I'M
der letters of Marvue from Mexico or Bue-
nos Ayres. The diplomatic agents Of both
these governments were very busy in per-
fecting those means of retaliation it
was believed in England, that in the event
Of an open rupture, the French commerce on
the Atlantic would suffer very severely.
In every point Of view, the affairs Of the
blockade of Mexico and Buenos Ayres were
beginning to create greatimbroglio among
the governments and people of France and
England pAlready it has created more pas
sions and viruIence between the press Of
London and Paris, than any other question
has done for the last few years. This depth
of interest is augmented from the interior
ence the blockade occasions to very import
ant commercial interests.

ted:
Resolved, That in view Of the great ad-
vantages that must result to Africa from the
successful operation of this enterprise, il is
our duty and distinguished privilege as
christians and philanthropists to do our ut
NEST for its support.
On motion OF Rev. Mr.. Winchester, (sus-
tanned by short and able address) the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
ResoIred, Tha; the plan of colonizing,
with their own consent, the free people Of
color of our own State, on the Territory of
Mississippi in Africa, is preeminenlly cal
culated topromote the best interests ofthoSe
emigrants who may avail themselves Of its
benefits, and that il is our duly as phlan-
throPists to foster that colony and enlarge
its operations
Rev. James Smiley, after a few remarks,
offered the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resoiped, That the prosecution of coloni-
zatlon exclusively, is calculated to resist the
dlsorganlzing influence of anti slavery soci-
cites and anti-slayery principles, and to pro-
mote and secure the tranquility Of our
State-and in this point of view deserves
the cordial support Of the patrio, and states

GRENADA BANK.

| The Loco-Foco Bank Commissioners in

These deluded men imagine every bank a,
horrible monster, with huge claws and
teeth, ready and able to swallow whole

A CARD.
| have just read in the Natchez Free Ira
der, letter dated at Carrollton, Oct 9th,
publishing copy of the bill of injunction
filed against the bank of Mississippi, and
making sundry false statements in relation
10 the application for an injunction before
Judge Shattuck, and the decision of the
court. The commissioners, having failed to
crafty their malignant and reycngeful feel
ings of luminosity towards the president by
obtaining an injunction against the bank,
have resored to the novel and extraordinary
alternative Of depreciatng the paper of the
bank by making an inl1ammatory appeal to
the public, and throwing their official innu-
once into the scale against the institution
in its infancy, which has been fairly, honest
y and honorably conducted. Aspresidcnt,
| shall, as soon as larriye at Grenada, de-
fend the institution at the bar OF that tribu-
nal before which the commissioners have
made the issue. For the present, simply
pronounce the material allegations contain
led 10 the bill to be false, and charge that the
commissioners sworo TO that which they
knew TO be false at the time they took and
subscribed TO the oath attached to the bill. \

IN such quantity us is required 10 work the
engines, which are moreover Of the low
pressure kind; and from fire, the genera
tors being so small that they are accessible
on all sides. The advantage derived from
the method Of condensation is the continu-

deposit ofthe salt, &c. II can be applied
with the same advantage to common boilers.
The combined effect of the reduction in the
consumption Of fuel, and in the weight and
size Of the vapourisers compared with boil
ers, is such that steam vessel Of any ordi-
nary tonnage and power will be enabled at
her loaded immersion TO make 4 voyage OF
five times the length now practicable.
In her construction she has the APP
pearnnce of an elegant-made brig. HeI
speed is not great, but very good, taking IN
to consideration the power Of her engines
compared with her tonnage. Her paddle
wheels are also on an improved principle

the paddles turning on an eccentric cen,r,
with the wheel, and always turning per

and vibration Of the vessel done away with
