The annual session of the States of Wurtemberg was opened at Stuttgardt the 23d instant. The King, in his speech this occasion, expresses his gratitude Providence for the protection granted o himself and the States during reign of 25 years, and announces that his son, having attained his majoriy taken the oath prescribed by the Constitu- tion The speech announces the intention of propos- ing several ameliorations of the existing laws, and adds that as the finances are in flourishing state, notwithstanding the reduction of taxation, the King will be able to turn his attention to the important question of railroads.
 The Swiss Diet resumed it's sittings the 25th instant. The affair of the Argovan convents was again discussed, but only one or two speeches were made, and the sitting was adjourned There is great uncertainty as to the result of this question: nine States and two half-States have instructed their deputies for the re-establishment of all the convenis, without making any concessions to Argau the number have agreed accept the proposi- ton of Argau for partial re-establishment and the rest have given instructions of various kinds. The Canton of Vaud has refused to send any deputies to the Diet.

Vegetable Amotg otgamation. on.-Some curious specimens of vegetable amalganaon are to be seen in our gar den. Through the ignorance carelessness of the gardener, pumpkin, watermelon, squash and cucumber seed were planted contiguous. The vines grew luxuriantly, and very fruitful, but each produced amagamation, bearing the distinctive marks of the different varieties planted. One Of those vegetable anomalies IS about half the size of ordinary pumpkin, of the colo, except at one end, which resembles the cucumber. It IS ribbed
 like the pumpkin, and warty like the squash. Ano. ther resembles melon in size and form, is covered with prckly protubeIances like cucumber, and par takes of the color of both. We determined several times to have the vines cut up, knew the arina from their blossoms would mingle and their fruit be good for nohing but having seen an anna lgamaton of the gourd, pumpkin and melon, some years since, we were curious 10 see what kind of medley ma ure would produce in this instance.-l'rinces Ann Md.)

ACADEMY OF SCIENcEs.--Snting of Octo6er IS. -Messrs. Bteschet and Becqnerel communicated to the Academy the result of some experiments on the heat of the organic tissues of animals. They had proceeded, with this object in view, to shave the hair off some rabits, and then had covered their bodies with mixture of glue, tallow and rosin. This sub, stance stopped up all the pores of the skin, and caused death in short time. The result of their experiments was, that. in animal whose skin had shown temperature of B degrees of the centgrade scale, or about 100 Fahrenheit, before the mixture was put on, gave heat of 32 degrees shortly after and interval of an hour gave 245 degrees centl- grade, or about 75l Fahrenheit. Another animal gave still swer indications of heat. It had been expected that, from all the pores being stopped up, internal fever would have been produced, and great increase of heat have been displayed. These gentle men also communicated the results of experiments the relative heat of arteral and venous blood, con firming the commonly received opinion as to the superior heat of the former.

PLANTERS AND MERCHANTS BANK OF MOBILE
 To the Senate and Hguse ef Representatives ef he
 lSfate of Aiabamd
 The undersigned Commissioners appointed ny HIS Excelency the Governor to examine into the conui- ion of the Planters and Merchants Bank of Mobile, beg leave report that they entered on the discharge of their duties the 18th day of Octaher last, and continued their examination to the 2oth when It was competed
 The statement hereto appended was found to con- tain concise and account of all the assets and liabilities of the bank.
 The assets that are immediately available fall short of the liabilities ofa similar characters but the large of notes and bills maturing m the course of d few weeks, and which are considered good be- yond question: amply sufficient to enable the bank to meet all it's engagements. During the past year a large amount of suspended and doubtful paper has been converted into real estate, which yields hand some to the bank.
 In the management of the. institution It appears that the Directors have gone far to facilitate the business of the community proper regard 10 their higher obligations would warrant. Their individual accounts are light, aud their transactions appear to have been confined within the limits oi the charter. The officers of the institution were prompt Tn fur- nishlng every facility to the examination. JAMES SANFORD. l JOHN K. COLLINS, VIM. TAYLOR. |

The London Times made itsel' conspicuous, no long since, in exposing great scheme of fraud con templated by an English banker in Florence. which ifsuccessiul would have swinded many of the chief banking houses in Europe, out of large sums, by means of forged letters of credit from England The design became known to the editors of the Times, who went to great expense in ascertaning all the particuars-defeating and exposing the conspiracy and thenin defending costly sut for libel, brought against them by the parties implicated.
 The merchants and bankers ofLondon, have tesii- ed in most honorable and liberal way, their sense of the spirit and integrity with which the affair was prosecuted to successful close. The editors of the Times rpudated the idea pecuniary compensation, and in consequence, il has been determined that in the New London Exchange, a tablet shall be placed, the inscription on which, shall commemorate the a,l- dabe eorse of the paper and that besides, subscrip- tions of money shall be received for the purpose of establishing two Scholarships in of the Univer- sites, te perpetual gift to which shall remain in the propretofs of the Times newspaper.

MOBlLE WEDNESDAY EVENINGS DEts,S fSal.-
The Eastern Mali was through this morning, with New York dates of the 26th ult.


 We give this evening, the promised series of ex- tracts om the published speeches and letters of Mr. Everett, relating his past and present position on the subject of slavery.
 These have been called for this time, by the vio- lent attacks of his political friends in this State, upon ex-Senator Clay for having imputed to Mr. Everett, opinions the subject of Southern institutions, which ought to have disqualified him from receiving the of southern Senators, minister to Eng land. But they of general interest, independent of political parties. The duty of maintaining jea- lous watch rights, and scrntlnzing closely the acuon of the Federal government m all It's depart and through all it's agents, in this respect, ls which ought be affected by any of the ordl- nary influences of party. The mission to England, in particular, requires this anxious scrutiny. That power, more than any other in the world, dirce' and indirectly meddles with slave interess-seUds her missionaries into our country, to foment ial disturbance; and shapes her poll.ical action, and sets up national preensons little short of war, to the purpose of disturbing the security of prope,t, and forwarding the designs of the abolitomsts. Al this very tIme, there are controversies pending at that court, in which the rights of slave property grossly violated by British colonial adthorities-and the sovereignty of the American flag insaIted, under preence of prosecuting another form of against shUery-ought be vindcated with energy, hearti- ness and determination. We refei readers to the documents published this mornng-to determine whether tleopnons of Mir. Everett these subjects are not su,h, should have made southern senators hesitate b entrust such interests to his hands. | The first extract, IS that upon which his political friends nthe south, rely, to show his soundness on this subject "Pa se,'' as President Tyler would say, it sounds pretty, and were there evidences of subsequent change of opinion, would go far as any passage of general Reclamation could go, to satisfy us, But is a little remarkable, that the whgs have never yet discovered or at least admitted the proofs that these favorable sentiments expressed so long alo as 1926, have been since recaned in change of yiews produced by the alleged of the British West India Abolition act.
 Following this wing proof of the soundness of their friend in 1926, the proofs that in 1888 and 1859 he reconted himself to the most ultra of the aboli- toniss, received a repentant convert, and es poused opinions, which for all practical purposes are all that ney desire.
 We donot enlarge upon this state of facts, but sub init them to our readers for their judgment, as the who'll of the case, in which the whgs have pre- scented my an immaterial .part--by showing as the opinions of Mir. Everett, old and general phrases ut tered fifteen years ago, when they had no practca application, and conceang later and distinct avow els, intended to apply to political cases, upon whcl
