EXTRAORDINARY RUMOR.

We find in the Barbados Globe of the I'd May
long article giving an account Of the destruction
Of the British frgate Dublin by three French men
of war at Tahiti. The news, it is said, was
brought by steamer via Panama. We cannot
credit it. There is no date given. or we could at
once, by reference to dates already received from
Otaheiie, show that no reliance could be placed
upon the rumor. We give the following extract
however g." The last island steamer brings the
following astonishing intelligence, received from
Tahiti by way of Panama, that Queen Pomare
having taken refuge on board the British frigate
Dublin, the French Admiral (Du Petit Thouars)
proceeded thther. and peremptorily demanded the
surrender Of the Queens person from the British
Captain. This was of course refused, high words
arose between the French Admiral aud English
Captain, and the former left for his own vessel,
furious with Indignation. He Immediately COM
manded the three large French men Of war he
had with him in the bay to clear for action. They
all assailed the British frigate with murderous,
sustained, and simultaneous fire. The British
fought to the last, and sunk with colors hying."-

getaton has been totally destroyed The copper
mines are being worked by several companies.
The mines of Caunas have produced valuable re-
turns, but those at Bayatava or Jacques, present
the most favorable results, the ore being rich and

that were used to inspire them with awe and reve-
renee for the minority. That is no concern Of
ours. The result shows that some appliance
was used with success in the accomplishment of
that end, Since violence or force of any kind
was out of the question, the anomaly can only be
accounted for upon the hypothesis of the Wash
inglon Spectator, who argues, if he does not as
sert, the superior moral energy and weight Of
character possessed by the "chivary" over their
Northern allies. Be the cause what il may, how
ever, the fact is so-the minority did rule the
majority, although the Independent and honest
freemen of the country may find it difficult to ac-
count for They would perhaps find it equally
difficult to account for cowardice of any sort. A
coward will shrink back and grow pale, where a
brave man would see the truest wisdom and
safety in maintaining his right. There is no &C
counting for cowardce, and there is no account
ing for the craven conduct Of the majority in the
Baltimore Locofoco Convention.

GREAT WING MEETING IN PHILADEL-
PHIA

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held IN
the Commissioners Hall, Southwark, on Tues
day evening. The object was to receive in a
warm and cordial manner, the Hon. Edward Joy
Morris, the representative of the District, on his
return from Washington. The meeting was or
ganized by the appointment of VIM. Abbott, as
President, assisted by thirteen Vice Presidents
and six Secretaries The Hon. Andrew Stewart,
Senator Jarnagn, Hon. ]. ]. Hardin, and Hon.
Alexander Ramsey, addressed the assembly upon
the merits of the political topics of the day.
The meeting had expected to welcome home
their immediate representative, the Hon. Edward
Joy Morris, but he was detained by business in
Baltimore. Mr. Stewart paid high and deserv-
ed compliment to the ability, zeal, and untiring
watchfulness Of Mr.. Morris over every interest
of his constituents and Pennsylvania measures.
A resolution was offered and adopted, that the
meeting reassemble on the next evening, at the
same place, at before 8 o'clock, to march in
procession TO the mass meeting to be held in
front OF the Exchange, when it was hoped Mr..
Morris would be among the Speakers.
The utmost enthusiasm pervaded the mseting,
and the staunch Wings of the First District OF
Pennsylvania showed themselves ready for the
contest on The grand issue presented; HENRY
CLAY and Projection, or JAMES X. Polk AND
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PRESENT
TARIFF!

Mr.. Polk IN TENNEssEE.-Th Nashville
Banner, noticing the nomination of Mr.. James K.
Polk as the Locofoco candidate for the Presiden-
cy, takes occasion to make the following remarks,
which we are satisfied are true to the letter:
We now take leave to assure the Democracv
OF the North and East that if they imagined, by
this preposterous nomination, to perplex embar-
rass, or daunt the Wings of Tennessee, who for
ten gears. have made battle against their pestlfe-
rous principles and measures, they made gross
6tunder. To our own political friends we say. if
they indulge the slightest msgiving about the re-
suit in this State, they do the people of Tennes-
see great injustice. Tennessee will not recede
from the position she took in the darkest hours IN
behalf Of the Wing cause, and which she has
maintained ever since. Her enlightened and de-
voted sons have COPIED with all the influences of
the CHEF HIMSELF, in his highest ascendency,
and have triumphed! This small satellite of his
will be now obscured without an effort. He will
die and give no sign!

SANDS SARsAPARILLA.-Could the many thousands

hesitate in appropriatng to themselves the benefits
which this medicine alone can bestow. Obstinate

FLASH OF THE PAN.-Mr. s. Medary, editor OF

Convention by way of Buffalo, and addressed a
Locofoco meeting at that place. In his speech
he undertook to make hit OIL Texas, declared
it in as seductive colors as he knew how, and
then put the question directly to those assembled
if they would not go for it. A loud "no - with
