WAustria and Russia, who have ex-
pended so much to arrest political refor-
nation, are now in the money market,
striving to borrow more money.-These
attempts are resisted by the most enlight-
ened and patriotic Englishmen of the
present day, in public appeals to the
money lenders ofall countries. The last
accounts tell us that large meeting was
held in London, which adopted two reso-
lutions.--One was the following:
THE Austrian government having pro-
posed loan, capitalists are invited to
investigate the probability prepayment;
and that, in the opinion of the meeting,
that government can offer no valid secu-
rity to Justify a prudent man in taking
part of such loan" The other resolu.
ton was that, "all loans for war purposes
should be deprecated" Mr.. Cotdeu,
the distinguished author ofthe movement
which produced the repeal of the corn
laws, and of various other movements a
gainst old absurdities in government,
made speech at this meeting, for the
purpose of showing the pecuniary imbe.
ciiity Of Austria and Russia, and conse-
quently their military and political imbe.
cility, If not aided by loans. The reso-
lutions we're adopted unanimously.

SENATOR JEFFERSON DAVIS, of Mississ.
ippi, has recently written long letter
upon the subject of slavery, and the rela-
tive positions ofthe North and South:
The rights Of the latter are threatened
and union Of sentiment alone can stop
the effort which is making IN the North.
He says that anti slavery presses are es.
tablshed in the slave States, and il de.
wolves upon the South totolerate no longer
an open and avowed enemy in their midst.
The North professed TO be satisfied with
the Missouri compromise, when the South
gave up the whole North. western Terri.
tory,and large portion ofLouisiana, and
when the question of the admission of Or.
egon was brought up, they claimed and
took that as nonslave holding territory
With all their territory, comprising many
more thousands of square miles than the
South, they now claim that New Mexico
and California shall he brought in only
upon the condition that the Wilmot pIo-
viso shall be applied to them. Besides
the power of the North, they are aided by
the abolitiohistS of England. 1t is not
manly or polite, he says to postpone to
such enemies the issue as presented
Had all which had occurred been fore
seen, and the South been united in the
early period of abolitionism, il never
could have acquired its present politica
position. There are some who think The
question will exhaust itself while Others
depend npon the veto of the President
To those who depend upon the latter he
says:-"No degree of confidence in the
present President win justify such de-
pehdence.
The social relations which Mr.. Davis
holds to the President give some interest
| to this declaration of his.

Constructive Mi'eage-Reform, Sc.
Senatorsin Congress will no longer be
allowed to fieh from the public Treasury
under the Spurious claim for "construc-
tive mileage" For years past, on the
advent of every new administration, The
Seilate has been in the habit of charging
full mileage for attendance at the special
executive session of that body, in addi-
tion to the amount received for the regu.
lar session.
This usage was killed few days since
by Hon Elisha Whitllesey, first comp.
troller Of the Treasury. ... -.
1t seems that claim came up in usua
form, for $4,000, paid by A, Dickens
! Esq, clerk of the Seiate, for "construc
tive mileage in attendance at the specia
executive session in March last, and tha,
every member of the Senate, save three
received pay.
Mr.. Whit,lesey after full delberation
was of opinion that the claim ought not to
be allowed. Fearing. however, that the
duiHihiSlIdi diloH HlRHt oSdIu iliS do all i'I'
opportune occasion for such action as
might displease the Senate, he stated the
case to the President. through Mr.. Clay
ton, and added the remark that, if it was
not thought proper to act in accordance
with his (Mr. VS. convictions, he would
resign the comptrollership.
The Presidents prompt and character
istic reply was" Tell Mr.. WhiuleSey TO dC
'chat as right, and let tie consequence
take care Of themselves" The claim was
Immediately rejected.

the honorable Senators, aud it is to bt
hoped that they will Immediately "makt

"Tbe expenditure of ten millions Of
dollars in placing the consumer of food
by the producer Of cotton and food, you'd
double the power of the South. Ca
rey'S Past, Present and Future
Ten millions of dollars invested in cot
ton mills on the Lower Ohio, where coal
end food are cheap, would result in the
immediate increase of the home cotton
market ola least eighty millions of lbs,
or 200 900 bales. and would make new
home market for food of at least half mil.
lion Of dollars year.
This Would be but the beginning of the
process of home concentration Of capital
and population for manufacturing pur-
poses. In few years, the ten millions
thus employed, would be doubled and
probably quadrupled. 1t would he here, ,as
it has been in England, in Belgium, and
in New England; the manufacturers here
as there, would accumulate with rapid.
ty, and lands and the products Of Il lands
would, here as there, rapidly appreci-

Let the farmers remember that, when
the market is far away, they or their fac
tor must send the surplus produce to the
market, and that. when the market is
near, the consumer ofhis factor will come
to their doors to purchase.
Good land near Lowell is worth from
two TO five hundred dollars an acre; near
Manchester the price is still greater; and
its average value in the manufacturing
section Of Belgium is about $500 an
acre.
The Middlesex farmer sells his beef al

tatoes at so or 90 cents bushel. Shal

The Lowell manufacturer makes large
profits, and pays high wages. and in cast

LAND SLIDE IN CLEvELAND--The soil
upon which the city of Cleveland is built
is said to be underlayed with stratum of
quick sand, which by the action of the
springs in the bank of the lake, is gradu-
ally washed away, leaving the superin-
cumbent earth, 20 fall by its own weight
and be gradually washed away. The
frequent repetition Of this process has
caused the sinking and destruction of a
large tract within the limits of The city.
and is exciting serions apprehensions for
the safety, not only ofthe land, but of sew
eral valuable improvements.-Among
those are enumerated the termination of
the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Railroad,
the Marine Hospital, &c. A writer in
the True Democrat says: Since the
foundation ofthe Hospital was laid, near,
ly half of the land lying between that
building and the lake shore, has been car
ried away; and whatever is done to pre-
serve this building, and other buildings
in like situations, must be done quickly

Loco member from Guernsey, will be
disputed, on the ground that he held the
office of Master Commissioned aud Com.

of Mr.. Ross, the Loco elect from Jack.

ground that he held a commission as AS

SOMETHING New UNDER THE Sun AT
LAsT.--There is being built in New York
an iron steamboat 10 run on Lake Utica.
ca, situate at the summit Of one of the
highest peaks ofthe Andes, in Suulh A.
merica, near The boundary Of Peru, and
several thousand feet above the sea.
This is probably the highest point that
steam navigation was ever used The
speculation, the Tribune says. is to dive
a trade with the hunters and woodsmen
along the borders of the Lake, which has
length of about one hundred and forty
mies--amply sufficient to establish very
respectable 'coasting trade" in those up.
per regions OF the world, The vessel is
90 feet on the keel, has a depth of hold ot
5 feet, with IL feet beam. Her paddle
wheels are 10 feet diameter and are also
of iron. 1t will be transported in piece:
of $50 lbs. each. packed in boxes or 9th
erwise-shipped for Lima or some othel
seaport town of Peru, and thence trans.
ported toits ultimate destination on the
hacks of mules, in pieces of the weight
before mentioned, one of which is TO be

The PACIFIC RAILRoAD,---Th editor
of the Chicago Tribune, who was at the
ST. Louis Convention, has the following
remarks among others, upon letters ad-
dressed to the convention:
Mr.. Van Observation-Disclosures
the convention postponed the reading Of
all letters, when Mr.. Van Burens was
called for, the "outside pressure" was too
great to resist, and the reading of it. in
connection with one or two others was
ordered.
Mr., Clay's..--Is decidedly non.co
initial, and not much longer than The Cass
letter to the Chicago Convention. He
says, "As to the project itself, the means
ofits execution, and the termini of the
road, | stand perfectly uncommitted."
Gen. Cass's-Ts somewhat longer than
his Chicago letter, and not so long as the
one he wrote TO Nicholson. He has a.
Voided the extremes that characterized
those productions. After freely endors-
ing the objects of the convention, he says
he hopes its action Twill insure the spec
dy completion of the work as soon as cir
cGmstances toiH permit"
Mr.. CalhOun's-Is very satisfactory.
He advocates the measure in a short let
ter, and in conclusion says, II regard the
work to be one of too great magnitude
and Importance to be Influenced by local
or private considerations" Further, that
the work should look to the whole Union
and the general commerce of both the At.
Jantic and Pacific oceans"
Coz. Seward's--Fully endorses the
scheme. lquote one paragraphs "Wher
we look upon the full tide of European
immigration beating upon our eastern
shores. aud consider the volume that i,

A DANDY's BRAINs.-A couple of fel.
lows in New York happened to take a
fancy to a young lady, and one of them
sent the other challenge, which was ac-
copied, and accordingly they proceeded
TO the Jerseys to try the cold lead. The
seconds loaded the pistols with nothing
but powder. The one who received the
challenge put rotten egg in his pocket,
and when the pistols were discharged,
the dandy standing ready to fall from the
fright, received the egg plump in his
forehead. which knocked his spindle
shanks quite To the ground, and applying
both hands to his face, he scraped of the
moving matter, and turning his eyes
mournfully towards heaven. exclaimed,
20 God, see my brains!"
