The Great Western and British Queen. 1t

The Great western anu DfHaSh SueeH. IL
is remarkable how even men, COMMONLY re-
puted to possess modicum of common sense
will become infatuated under the excitement
of a race. We find in the newspapers, cards
from committees of the passengers on board
the above named steamers during their recent
trial of speed across the Atlantic, from which
we take the following sentences.
"Resslved, That the thanks Of the passen:
GERS on board the Great Western he returned
to Cant. Hosken for his kind attentions 10 US
during our recent voyage from New York-a
q voyage which ve believe aoM proue to haue
conprekeaded the shortest passage euer made

"Sir.-We cannot take leave of the British
Queen without returning you and your officers
our thanks for your polite attention to US dur
ing our rapid and pleasant voyage across the
Atlantic, and expressing our appreciation of the
excellent accommodation provided for Us, and
ofthe admirable qualities of the vessel under
your command" &c. &c.
The card from which the latter Of these sem
tences is taken is signed c. c. CAABR ELlNa,
and that from which the former is taken is
headed with the name of J. HAMILTON; Nov

in the memory of most of us whilst striving to
make "the shortest pastage ever made be-

providential "accldent" Of his being unable to
get ready. The citizens of Charleston, IN

The L1cEHce LAws.-Great efforts are NJ

The LrcENcE LAws.-Great efforts are now
making in Georgia to abolish the practice OF
legalizing the sale of ardent spirits By selling
licenses for that purpose. Many are disposed to
make the question test at tho approaching elec.
ton. This is most zealously opposed by parli-
zan editors, and partizan leaders, who seem to
care very little for the moral condition or social
happiness Of the country provided only their
party can have the ascendency.
In different parts of this state, also, meetings
have been held and measures have been adoI ted
to circulate and send up to the Legislature, at
its approaching session, petitions to abolish the
license laws. The array Of moral strength, and
we hope of political strength too, in support Of
these petitions will be very respect blc. Wheth-
or they can succeed at the first attempt or not,
the time is not far off when they will certainly
succeed if they only persevers. The practice
of granting men license by he state to do that,
the only tendency of which is to destroy the
morals, tho health and the lives of thousands
upon thousands Of its citize ems, is too monstrous
to bear investigation. II would certainly be
much lees injurious to the state to license houses
for the reception and sale ofstolen goods.

IMPORTANT FROM wAsHlNeroN-7HE CAP.

TURED AFRICANS.
We learned yesterday from Washington,
(says the ~ Y. Herald, of 10th inst.l that Sc
cretary Forsyth has had an inverview with the
Spanish minister, relative to the Africans cap
tured in the Amistead, and that correspon.
dence or interview has taken place of some kind
in which the Secretary has indicated willing.
ness to give up these men to the requlslton of
the Spanish government.-This intention OF
the Secretary, however, requires the sanction
ofthe President, who, at the last accounts,
was at Rochester, and whose opinions on the
subject arc not yet known. 1t seems that Sc
cretary Forsyth bases his intention on some
clause of treaty wilhSpain. If this be so, the
government have the absolute disposition OF
these men, and the proceedings at New Lon
don or New-Haven, ;fthe government chooses
to act, are null and void.

Accounts from Texas state that four ofthe
most Northern States of Mexico which had re-
volted from the central government propose to
the Texans a mutual recognition Of indepen-

Public opinion in Texas seems to be divided
on the subject. Some are for the project, and
others for union. Others still seem to doubt
whether the Mexican states are qualified for
free government.

From the u. S, Gazette.

"After we had written the article on the
news, we had an opportunity of ascerta'nlng
the contents of several letters written IN Lon
don at the latest possible hour for the Great
Western. A sale of 5000 bales of cotton had
been made that day, at an advance, ana the
market was good. The harvest was considered
as a fair crop; and one merchant who sent out
his order by the Liverpool for the purchase OF
-four, countermanded the order, and,added that,
any had been purchased, it should be sold, if
necessary, at fifty cents less per barrel. This
is a pretty strong proof that the complexion Of
affairs on the 23d of August was much better
than on the LIST Of that month. and there can
be no doubt but it is improving.
zone remark may be made on the grain
news from the Continent. There the harvest
is good, excepting at :le North, and should it
fail there and England need a small foreign
supply, the demand must be on the United
States, which could be made without gold
from England. while it would be equal to gold
from our c. nntry.
"The news is every way as good as any one
could expect, for the particular season."
