New GuNPowDER. The European journals inform,
us of a new gun-powder invented by NJ. Hugendre,
assayer of the mint at Consantinope, which, learn
from the Savannah (Georga) Republican, has already
been produced in that place by Mr.. John Caruthers
and proven all that it represented to be- is
posed Of the following ingredients, viz. One part in
weight of yellow prassiate of crystalized potash,
one part of powdered sugar, and two parts of cho-
crate Of potash. These to be all first pulverzed,
and then effectually mixed by pounding in bronze
mortar with wooden pesre. 1t was claimed that
this powder possessed three times the force weight
for weight, of the common powder used in war, and
is recommended by the inventor not to be used as
life-extnguishing agent, but in other cases-in mi
ming, &c.,-where strong explosive force is re-
CURED. Of Mr.. Caruhers's experiment the Savannah
Republican says:
He went to work yesterday, and soon produced
the 6 new explosive" 1t is as white as -four, and
almost fine. He tried it in pistol, using about
onefourth the usual CHARGE and found that it explo-
ded with much greater force than four times much
powder. The report was also much louder. The
ball, which he shot into piece Of wood, was unu-
sualiy bruised and Mashed" -ii
There seems to be more than ordinary DANGER how
ever, in manufacturing this white powder. On the
day followingt the above experiment, while boy in
the employ of Mr.. c. was preparing about two oun-
ces Of the powder in mortar, by some accident it
exploded with loud report, severely burning the
face of the boy. We presume the precaution had
not been taken to use a wooden pestle.

LITTLE LieHr. The Alta California Of the i6th
February contains curious account of an affair at
San Francisco, involving the right of master to
hold slave there. 1t is substantially as follows:
The master. who had carried the negro there previ-
GUS to the formation of the State Constution, at-
tempted to correct him. The negro resisted. The
bysanders interfered, and took both parties before
the magistrate, when the white man claimed no
perty in the negro and contended that the State con-
stitution only abolished slavery prospecvely Tho
existing rights of property were not disturbed This
persevered in, would have brought up the other in
trcate questions, whether slavery being abolished BY
the Mexican law, that law is not in conflict with the
rights of protection to American property, which
afe coexstent with the constitution Of the United
States. The magistrate seemed to hold this view,
and discharged the white man, and ordered the black
into custody to await the orders of his owner. The
supreme judge refused wrts of hnbe1s corpus for the
liberation of the negro. One was at last obtained,
but before 1t was served the master had reclaimed and
taken possession of the slave, and the natferended
there. so far as we have any notice Of proceed-
ings in the papers. 5s; :, 'ssE.f ~
This result would indicate that, even in Californa
ITSELF the law authorities do recognize the force
OF the " senseless opinion of Benton and others,
that the Mexican laws overrule the Constitution Of
the United States and of themselves abolish slavery
It is stated that Gen. Biscoc, prominent citizen of
Mississippi, and other gentlemen, have recently
taken slaves to California. to test the experiment

article stating that Mr.. John Kerr, whg lawyer, in
stump speech in Granville meeting, denounced
the Nashville Convention as treason, and those who
favored it, as traitors Mr. Kerr has since published

Now, is curious that these whig orators will ians

empty benches in Congress. and then come in the
papers and deny what they said, led people to be-

There was Mr.. Stanly made one speech In the

Mr.. Kerr admits that he did say that If the Nash

would be reasonable in it's character, and deserve

What was. the object of Mr.. Kerr in using that
