Ecte ON Board tn, Atlantic

On the 18th ultimo the fete to which Mr. Brown
of the firm Of Brown, Shipey & Co., invited the
royal commissioners, took place at Liverpool, on
board the Atlantic, previous to her departure for
New York on the 23d. The London correspondent
of the New York Commercial Adperfiser states that
the party consisted of about one hundred and TWEEN
ty, most of whom, including Lord Granville, came
from London for the occasion. The dinner was
magnificent, and the whole entertainment pro .eed-
ed with the greatest spirit. The evening closed
with a soiree, given by the Mayor of Liverpool at
the town hall, at which all the principal inhabitants
of the town attended.
The London Times states that when the dinner
terminated Mr.. Brown gave the "Hcath of her
Majesty Duchess of Lancaster which of course
was responded to with great loyalty.
Ilis royal highness Prince Albert and the rest of
the royal family next toasted; after which
the President of the United States" was proposed.
and Mr.. Davis was called on to acknowledge the
toast
Mr. Davis said that he was cure the iustrious

aare called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-

measures should be regarded in principle as
tinalsettlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from impertections, yet, in their

n system of compromise the most conciliatory

CHEsAPnAKE AND ONO CANAL,-The Cumber-
land CivsLian says that the heavy rains on Satur-
day night, with the frequent showers that have
since fallen, have raised the Potomac and afforded
a large supply of water for the canal. On Thurs
day there were five feet eight inches of water in
the canal at that place, with head of nearly ten
inches in the river and still rising. This has al
ready revived business on the canal, and the boats
now ascending will be able to take down heavier
cargoes of coal. With judicious management,
says the Ciuiian, there will probably be no further
lack of water this season

The Frsneh cons.lsutlen.

Our Galllc friends across the water appear TO
have experienced even more difficulty than
some OF our States in effecting change of con
stItution. On the 10Th ultimo the National
Assembly proceeded to vote on the proposition
In favor Of the revision of the constitution Of
France. The total number Of votes was 724.
The votes in favor Of the revision were 446;
against 1t, 276-majoriiy in favor of revision,
ioo. Nevertheless, the votes in favor not
amounting to three fourths of the whole, or
o45, the proposition was pronounced rejected.
The Mountain saluted the result with cries OF
,"PiUc la Repatbhque."

Return OF the American Mln,.ter 40 me.loo

We learn that the Hon. Mr. LErcHER will
leave the United States for the city of Mexico
as soon as steamer can be prepared and his
own personal preparations will permit. His de-
parture, we learn, will not be postponed beyond
the 10Th inst. In encountering, with health but
partially restored, the fatigues and climatic
risks of journey to the city of Mexico at this
season, Mr.. LETcHER seems determined to
prove that the interests of the country shall suf
fer no dstriment for want of energy or attention
on the part of the Administration or its minis

"MAKINa HAV."-We learn from the Columbia
IS. CO Carolinian and Telegraph fact, which is
chronclcd not only as extraordinary, but the
first event Of the kind, viz that citizen of South
Carolina has actually made lot of baled hay.
The Carolinian says it will be proud day for
South Carolina when the enterprise of her citizens
will cause non-intercoursc in hay. Without sub
scribing to the idea of non.intercourse, we think
that, il South Carolina would make more hay and
less fuss, che would better subserve her own in
terests.

HENRY LONG TURNED AGITAToR.- negro
Henry Long, whose apprehension under the Fugi
tive Slave law at New York few months since
created some excitement, has lately been making
insurrectionary speeches to the negroes in the
vicinity OF Atlanta, Georgia; the papers of that
State complain of the want of law forbidding the
introduction of negroes by any person but settler
and proprietor. They also impute such conduct
by the negroes to the fre-eaters, who are contin-
ually nf1aming the minds Of the slaves by pre-
tending to be greatly in danger of them-the igno-
rant blacks not being able to understand that this
is all CANNON.

MONETARY CosrRACTIoNs.-During the past
week there appears to have been considerable diff
Guilty in obtaining money at previous rates in the
several commercial cities to the north of US. The
New York Journal of Commerce of Friday evening
says:
"I'he week now closing has witnessed greater
stringency in the money market than has been ex
hibted before within year.
The Boston AAas Of Saturday morning remarks:
During the week the money market has been
IN n most uniayorable condition for the borrower.
Not even In the hardest times, twelve eighteen
months ago, were loans difficult to be OBJ
taned. The street rates, on good securities, have
ranged between ten or twelve and eighteen per
and the banks have done little nothing
The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday evening has
the following:
THE pressure for money continues unabated.
We quote the rates of discount the beat of names
at 10 ~ per cent, and the supply of capital the
street very inadequate to the demand. Second
class paper negotiates heavily at / per month";
The impression seems to be general that this is
only temporary stringency, and that on the re-
turn of capitalists from the fashionable water
ing places, where many of them have been So
journing, and the arrival of fresh supply of the
yellow dust from California, and when the cur
tailment of discounts by the banks shall have suf-
GENTLY checked the importations Of specie, that
the money market will be relieved. We should
not forget, however, that inanciers have for some
time past admonished us to beware of the coming
storm.

A New CANDIDATE FOR THE Presidency
Col. Forney, the clever and able editor Of the
PennsylUa nian, is not without vaulting ambi-
ton. "The governing Of the United States" he
says, "seems to be q very simple and easy pro-
cessp' What follows? Why, that he can per-
form it, of course! But hear his proofs:
80 1t would seem to require no attention either
from the President or any Of his ministers. 1t
is known that since the adjournment of Con-
gress in March last up to the present time,
they have scarcely been in Washington for q
week ut q time"
Has the Colonel forgotten that pe are here, and
that the President and Cabinet enjoy the adj
vantage of our advice and guidance? Who at
tended to the important affairs of Cuba in the
absence Of the President and his Cabinet, and
kept Mr.. Stuart's dependents in order, and pre-
vented their declaration of independence, during
that timei We did. Who took care of Mr..
Corwins reputation and Gardiner and Mears
claims perquisites, while he was in Ohio We
did. Would we do rs much for Col. Forney,
were he President? Not bit Of it. We are
pledged to see the present dynasty to their
journeys end, and once there We shall give up
this business of governing the nation. 1t is
troublesome; and as Mr.. Fillmore and his min
listers every now and then take up the notion of
meddling in the affairs themselves, Of course
there are some tangled and complicated matters
to be looked into. Congress may next winter
do something in this way, but not enough to
get all right for Mr.. Fillmore's successor. We
think that il the Colonel is wise he will silence
the promptings of his ambition, and remain in
the honorable position he now so nobly graces.

Incidents IN the Life Of Pastor. By William
Wisner, ID. ID. New York: Charles Scri6ner,
1645. col. 12mo-This volume, the author
informs us, is made up of the incidents in life
which has been worn out in efforts to promote
the temporal and eternal well-being of those
TO whom it is dedicated-thc members of the
congregations over which lie has presided az
pastor. These incidents extend over period
Of more than thirty years.
The objects Of the author are avowed to be
to assist and encourage younger brethren in
men, and to aid awakened sinners in finding
their way to Christ.
The subjects treated are very numerous, and
the reader passes through them all in agreeable
and profitable intercourse with the good and
venerable pastor, and cannot control the rising
wish that pastors generally would treasure up
this kind of experience for the instruction Of
their fellow-men. This world wears many as
poets, all depending upon the points from which
il is viewed; and the honest observer, whose
position is favorable, should add power to the
vision Of those less favored. DR.. Wisner has
done so !; and in this little volume he has hap
PLY prolonged his influence for good in the
world.

" Treason doth never prosper-whats the reason2
When Il once prospers tits no longer treasonln

Treason doth never prosper-what's the reasonf
When 1T once prospers It's no longer treasonl"
The above couplet has been quoted by n con-
temporary who wants to know, if Lopez and his
men had been successful, whether they would
not have been good fellows and patriots instead
of pirates and traitorsf
We have never been enamored Of the military
character of Lopez, says the Pemsylpanian,
though his courage can scarcely be doubted.
But he is defeated and dead and how soon the
censorious read his faults in his failure "Lo-
peg deserved his fate" says the New York Err
press. Poor fellow he was not the winner in
the game; and is it not somewhere written Of
fashionable morals, that cit is not sin to gam
BILE, but it is grievous sin to lose !" What q
wondrous alchemist is success. How 1t changes
those whom the'world would call robbers into
genuine heroes how it stiles the computations
Of tender consciences how 1t convinces the
contumacious! Suppose Lopez had been a
victor instead Of a victim-what then? The
metropolitan press would have hailed in him o
new Cortez; France would have compared him
to Napoleon; and America, to Lafayette; and all
would have been forgiven by pleased and fat
tered public He has fallen; and 90 low, that
there are none to do him justice. Let Us all
abuse Lopez. "He deserved his fate!" He
should have been drawn and quartered; his
body burnt, and the ashes strewn in the wind.
What right had he to 60 to Cuba to punish the
Castilian cut-throats-and fail "He deserved
