EUROPEAN NEWS.

The news brought by the Steamer Cam
hria. which sailed from Liverpool on the
9Th ultmo, and arrived at Halifax on the
5h instant, is no, important in a political
point of view. A great sensation was Gre
ted in England as soon as the melancholy
news reached that country that Presiden,
Taylor was no more. 1t is evident from
The tone and language of the leading journ-
ais. that the Governor and People of Great
Britain svmpa lhize with our Government
and People, under the national bereavement,
and that the character and military achieve
ments of General Taylor are well known
and appreciated in England. A large meet
inc of American citizens over which the
Hon. Abbot. Lawrence presided, was held
in London. when patriotic resolutions were
adopted. These resolutions express the
sense of the meeting, of the grea! loss which
their country has sustained, and Of their
deep sympathy with the family Of the late
President.
The Portuguese Government having de-
clined TO accede to the demands of Mr.. Clay,
the American Minister, he had demanded
his passport. and intended to leave Lisbon
on The 10Th ullimo. The American squad
ron had started for Tangiers.
Hostilities had actually commenced be-
tween Denmark and the Duchies. On the
2ls. ul,imo an action was fought between
man of war and German steamer, and
to The injury Of the former which had to re-
tire. severe conflict bxween the hostile
forces on land was anticipated, they being
al the latest accounts face 10 face.
The potato disease had made It's appear
ance in several parts of Ireland, also in Eng
land. The price Of -four had consequently
advanced six pence per BARREL
1t was expected that Queen Victoria
would pay visit 10 Ireland during the pre-
sent month.
Baron Ro,hschild presented himself a
the bar of The House Of Commons on the
26,h ultimo, placed his credentials on the
table. and demanded to be sworn. Thi!
led to stormy debate, which was djourn
ed until the 9Th ulIimo. OF the result o
this Debate, we shall probably learn by TIL
next mail steamer from England.

THE FOREIGN NEws.-The commercial
news from Europe lately received, is said to
have created quite auItering among the
New Y ork -four and grain dealers. An adj
vance in the prices Of these staples was un-
looked for. The cotton dealers, however,
were all chop-fallen, but hope for better
news next time.

THE ToBAcco CRop-The Baltimore A

THE TOBACCO CRop-The Baltimore A.
merican Of Saturday last says:
Letters from various parts Of Maryland
speak by no means discouragingly Of the
growing Tobacco crop. In some sections
the planting was very late, bu. the weather
since then has been quite propi,ious. The
quantity planted is about as much as usual
and if we have no early frost, and good
weather in the interim, i, is quite probable
the crop Of Mary land will be an average one.
If these statements be correct and apply
to this par, of Maryland, our careful and re-
peaed inquiries to find on. the truth respect
ing the present growing crop of Tobacco,
yet in this county express an opinion that
the crop will be an average one but on the
contrary, many say it mus. yield fsr sh ort.
Some Of our more fortunate planters, it is
true, have very fair prospects for full crops.
But these are few compared to the number
who will not make half their usual quanti-
ty, to say nothing Of those who have entire
ly failed to plant. The causes that operated
agains, our planters were, as we before stat
ed, the smallness and scarcity Of plants a
the proper season for sticking them, and q
want of rain when the plants had become
large enough.

kBaUT TURNIPs, &c.-A correspondent
N the Germantown Telegraph, in an inter-
es,ing article on Turnip Culture, estimates
>Ho,,--op al six cents per bushel-Ths
appear to be low estimate when we
der the value of the article for feeding;
20 If by throwing our individual experience
|hto common stock, we can acquire inform
alton enabling us to produce the crop q. a
lower rate than that above noticed, all may
be benefited.
II has been satisfacloriallv ascertsined
tina. gypsum applied to the ground before
broken up for turnips, at the rate of two
bushels per acre, will make very decided
difference in the crop. This result has been
uoticed under different circumstances, and
on different soils. After thorough prepa-
ton of the ground, the manure from the
poultry house will be found 10 be the best
application, excep. Guano, which appears to
have some peculiar constituent property par
sicnlarly adapted to the growth Of turnips,
and on this account is q more economical
manure for the crop than any other. ! am in
formed that in Ireland, where so much de-
ponds on the success Of the turnip crop, the
use Of all other nanures has been aband on
ed, and guano only relied or.
On the 2lsl Of last July, applied Pa,a-
gonia guano at the rate Of 200 lbs. per acre
in my corn field, making a row between
every row Of corn, which were four fee,
apart, covering the guano slightly with earth
with the plow. On the ridge thus formed
red-top turnip seed was drilled the corn
kept the ground shaded, and prevented the
growth Of weeds; consequently no culture
was needed. After the corn was cut in Sep
TENDER, the turnips grew luxurian,ly and
produced the finest crop ever raised; while
some intermediate rows that were planted
withou! any guano, were not worth the
trouble Of going over to pull the turnips.
In this experiment If cul,ivaling ,urnips
among corn, there was no extra ground used
and oil the culture and blowing saved the
only expense being The guano, which cos
TWO and half cents per bushel for the crop
produced!

REMED7cFoR THE CHOLERA.

The following letter, giving the expert
encc Of respectable shipmaster Of the ef-
fects of simple remedy in cases Of cholera
has been furnsed 10 the New Y ork Evening
Post for publication.
The method is that resorted 10 by Dr..
DICKSON. of London, and the school of
practitioners to which he belongs. He
maintains tina, the cholera is produced by
the spasm or palsy of,he eigh, pair of nerves
that is to say, the nerves which commu-
nicaie between the brain, the stomach, and
the lungs, and POUNDS this doctrine on some
remarkable experiments Of the ane.omisl,
Dupuy!ren, who showed that, by the sim
pie compression Of this pair Of nerves, as
phyxia is produced, which can be continued
till II proves mortal, and that during this
asphyxia the blood becomes Of black or
coal color, and tina, it is attended with vio-
len, efforts to vom,. The practice found
ed on this view of the cause Of cholera is
the administration Of eme,ics. Mustard and
common salt, in warm water. are sometimes
given; sometimes .ar,er emeiic, the Italian
practice sometimes ipacac; sometimes
blood-warm water. This practice, and the
reasons for it, have been set forth in various
publishedpapers of Dr.. Turner, to whom
this letter is addressed

PRESIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE

fRESlDENT lLLMORE 5 MESSAGE.-A
message respecting Texas and New Mexico,
was sen. by the President 10 both Houses
of Congress on the 9Th instant. He takes
the ground that New Mexico IS United
States terri,ory-,ha. by the treaty of Qua
dulupe Hidalgo the inhabitants are entitled
TO professionalism should any attempt be
made to eject the United States from the
Territory Till the question Of boundary be
determined by the competent authority, the
Federal Government will feel itself bound
to employ all its military power to resist
the attempt, and 10 enforce the treaty and
laws of the United States. Blu, he express
es strong desire that Congress may speedi
ly settle the question of boundary, and pre-
vent any unpleasant difficulty.

Children will Talk.

We heard very amusing story related.
says the Boston Museum, a few days
since; of gentleman being possessed OF a
somewhat prominent proboscis being invi-
ted out to take tea with handsome young
widow, having the small iucumbrance of
about forty thousand dollars and beauii-
ful and Interesting little daughter about
five years of age. The little girl, (Shom
we shall take the liberty of calling Mary,)
although much beloved by all who
knew her, had the habit of speaking alouu
in company, and commenting upon each
and every peculiarly that any of her ma
mas guests might have; and the charm
ing widow knowing this fact, took little
Mary TO one side on the afternoon in
question, and gave her lesson somewhat
in the following manner:
Mary, dear, have invited very par
ticular friend of mine TO come and take
tea with me this evening, and as he has
rather long nose, wish to warn you
against speaking of it in his presence. He
is the most sensitive on that point UPON
all subjects, therefore, if you allude to it
in his presence, you shall be most assured
ly severely reprimanded; but on the other
hand, if you will sit up in your little chair
and be lady, you shall have that be auti-
full frosted cake purchased from the ba-
ker this morning.
Little Mary made the requisite promise.
and was amusing herself with her abun-
dant supply of playthings, when the long
nosed gentleman arrived. The compli-
ments of the day being exchanged, and the
topics of the day fully discussed, the wild
ow, with one of her blandest smiles, invi-
ted Mr.. into the adjoining room 10
partake of the choicest dainties of the sea-
son, with which the table was bountifully
supplied.
As they were passing out of the room
leaving little Mary TO amuse herself as
best she could, the little cherub hastily in
tercepted them at the door. and archly
looking up into the sparkling and anima-
ted countenance of her mother, exclaim-
ed
Mother. dear, amt il most time for me
to have my nice frosted cake for not say
ing anything about this gentlena''s
long nose?'
The widow tainted, and the long nosed
gentleman is still bachelor.
