INFLUENCE OF ABOLITION AGITATION on Dos.
TON ComMERcR.--We have an intelligent mer.
camille correspondent in New Orleans, who acts
a. commercial agent for many large houses in
this city. This gentleman informs us that almost
his whole business for these Boston houses has
been cut of in Mississippi, and greatly dimin-
ished in Alabama, owing to the feeling of hos
tihty created in the minds of the people of those
States, Mt the attacks made on their institutions
by Boston and Massachusetts, people, and that
correspondence with Lynn has been wholly bro.
ken Off The spirit which has been manifested
by many Of our people may seem to justify this
course, but our merchants are an intelligent and
high-mnded class Of men. They are not the of
tenders, and should not be made to suffer for
the acts Of such men ms Garrison, Elizur Wright.
and their like We are persuaded that the bet.
ter informed and responsible classes of our cti-
zens are heartily disposed to obey the laws, and
to spbmit, cheerfully, TO the settlement by the
Last Congress, in that series Of laws known AZ
the compromise measure, and we hope tina
nothing again will happen to embitter either
section Of our mighty repubIic--a republic which
s regarded the world over, - the last hope of
human liberty on Garth. II thss II wrecked, des-
Potism settles down upon the world for ages,

ANOTHER JEW MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
We cut the following from the Liverpool Mer-
curry Of July 1.
The vacancy in the representation Of Green
witch was filled up on Friday last. The cand-
dates were Mr.. Alderman Salomons and Mr.
David Wire, the former Jew, and tile latter
an old energetic advocate Of Jewish emancipa-
ton. Not only are they personal friends, but
their political opinions are almost ndentical
Both are free traders; both are willing to ex-
tend the suffrage TO every payer of rates and
| taxes; both are friendly TO vote by ballot and
| to general education.
Mr.. Salomons was described as princely in
his benifcence, and one whose catholicty OF
spirit had induced him TO found schools for the
education of Protestant children; while Mr..
Wire was spoken Of as a supporter of mul.
ttude OF charities The supporters of Mr.
Wire commended that their candidate could rem.
der better service TO the cause of Jewish liberty
than MIR Salomons, seeing that the former could
at once take his seat, and that the latter could
not. Mr.. Salomons denied that he WINS dis
qualified, and stated that If he was elected he
would 90 down to the House of Commons and
take his seat, instead Of allowing himself to be
banded about between the two houses of Par

We take the following interesting item from
the Baltimore Sun:
The ALBEkTI CAsE.-Attorney General Brent
visited the Office Of the clerk of the court of
quarter sessions at Philadelphia, OH Monday
and examined the bill of Indictment upon which
George +. Albert, convicted and sent to the
penitentiaY for ten years, for kidnapping, was
tried, and The other documents filed of record
in this case, as preparatory movement in
taking steps for the adjudication of the whole
matter before higher judicial tribunal, provided
there is any process ut the present time by
which it can be called up. ma
Alberti 1t will be remembered, seized a run.
away slave and her child. born after her escape
in New Jersey, and without legal process de
livered them to the owner ut Elkton, Md and
it was maintained that the child was born free.
He was consequently tried and convicted on the
charge of kidnapping free child, and though
over seventy years of age, sentenced to the
penitentiary for ten years. Mr.. Brent, under
instractions and authority of the recent Re.
form convention, is preparing to test, before the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, the constitu.
tionality of his conviction and sentence, the
child of the slave mother being under the laws
Of this State slave, wherever it may have been
born. The result of this case will be looked
for with great interest

IMPORTANT News FROM kossurH--The En-
efer Nercs Letter learns by private letters received
in that town from Constantinople, that Kossuth
has recently stated to a gentleman commissioned
to visit him at kntayeb, the place Of his couAnc-
ment in Turkey, and inform him of the offer of
this government to furnish him free passage
to an asylum in the United States, thai he has
finally resolved 10 remain in Europe, although he
expressed his gratitude Ia this government in
the warmest terms for the interest which il has
taken in his fate, thereby showing its sympathy
to have been with the Hungarians in their late
struggle. 1t Is supposed that this determination
may not be final, but that Kossuth's desire to
remain is engendered by the very faint, but nigh
ly honorable and patriotic hope, that he nav vet
be Of service to his unhappy country. The illus.
trious exile quite forgetfnl Of himself, seems to
hope. even in this day of gloom, that the future
may be more kind than tho past has been to his
native land.

arrangements for re- creation that ~ have sgo,
witnessed. On Monday the pew and supert
ocean mail stsamsr Goldan Gate arrived at An
napolis. on her trial trip, with party Of ladie.
and gentlemen from New York. Mr.. Asrsu
WALL, for whom she was constructed, came over
10 Washington and invited the President, Secre-
tAries and number Of naval, military, and civil
officers and citizens, ladies' and gentlemen, to
make an excursion on the new vessel up to bay
to Baltimore, Accordingly, about one hundred
and fifty Of them went over on Tuesday morning
In = special train provided by the courtesy OF Mr.
AsPNwALL.
On arriving at Annapolis, the President re-
ceived salute from the guns OF the naval school,
and the whole party proceeded to embark on
the steamer Planter and the propeller John Han
cock, the vessel stationed there for cadet prac-
tice, and went out few miles into the bay, where
the Golden Gate was manouvering with num-
Der of the citizens of Annapolis on board. The
President was received with salute, and an air
FROM the msrinc band which had gone over pre-.
viously from Washington.
The Golden Gate is named from the entrance
to San Francisco harbor, beautiful painting of
which is on her stern. She is about 27O feet
long and thirty eight beam, and capacity Of two
thousand tons. She is propelled by two power
ful oscillating engines, whose high finish, vast
dimensions and precise movement excited the ad-
IMITATION ofthe party. Her cabiss are ventilated
with ample skylights, and are finished with pam
sels and mouldings of rose, satin, and q variety
Of other hard woods, and furnished in style
BETTING the splendor Of their workmanship.
The boat proceeded up to Baltimore, saluted
Fort McHenry, and returned, making the trip
back, thirty miles, in about two hours. At three
o'clock sumptuous collation. was served in the
ample dining saloon, on two tables extending its
whole length, and wines of every cline and vint
sge flowed in profusicn. 1t would be difficult
by description to do justice to the luxury and
taste Of this repast. To be appreciated it ought
to have been seen, been tasted, as was done by
the party present. who attested its merits BY
gesticulations more eloquent than words.
On returning, the whole party went ashore in
the propeller Hancock, with the cadets and off,
GERS of the naval school,. The President and his
lady returned with the Secretary Of the Interior
md his lady to this Gty next morning, and the
Secretary of State, and Postmaster General with
their ladi 8, having arrived in the evening after
the excursion, went over in the Golden Gate to
New York. M
Mr.. AsrISwALL and his associates have, we
are happy to learn, made profitable business
out of their California mail contract, which by.
the-bye was made before gold was discovered
in California, emigration set in that direction.
And they certainly are entitled to the cordial
thanks Of their guests for the opportunity of
ing and tasting one of the great conceptions Of
the age, the Ocean Steamer. ..

The grand fancy ball of the Princess de w agram,
at Paris. is described in the English papers:
Mrs. Ridgeway, of Philadelphia, was in the
costume OF Horace Vernet's Rebecca. The Misses
Corbns, Of Philadelphia, were in the blue court
costume of Louis XIV. But the most striking
looking person at the ball was the Princess Cali.
maxi She wore the rich costume Of Christian
Turks when on visit, the only oriental ball cos.
tune The 1asnrak or veil, covered her from her
head to her feet, with the exception of small open
ing for her eyes but it was so thin and transpa.
rent, that her beautiful Georgian features, and the
profuson of diamonds, pearls and emeralds, which
crowned her head were as visible as if no veil had
been interposed. Her robe was of rose silk, Gov
cred with gold. But the most singular part of the
affair is, that adopting not only the dress but ths
custom Of Turks, visit, the Princess Callimak
was accompanied by young negro, bearing ar
immense plateau of presents, which the Princes,
distributed to all the persons at the ball. These
presents were richly embroidered handkerchiefs
Turkish slippers in gold embroidery, agate chap
let's essence bottles, scars, tobacco pouches, ee-
gantly ornamented poignards, etc, etc. The litt,
negro was false one for he was the young Primo,

Sir Henry Bulwer.

Her Britannia Majesty's Minister appears to have
incurred the dspleasufe of some of his Irish cous-
ins, at New York, in consequence of having made
some reflections upon their ancestors.
The chief offence appears 10 be, that he alleged
that they We're a barefooted race.
1t does not do for to examine too closely into
the ancestry of Others If the truth were known,
we doubt not that even Sir Henry himself came
into the world without much as a shirt upon his
back is said that in their Indignation, the COM
plainants have sent memorial to the President,
requesting him to demand of the Queen recall of
| her Minister. 80.
Sir Henry does not allege that the ancestors Of
his cousins had no legs but strongly intimates that
| they had nothing to cover them. s.
| He did not say that they were sans culottes but
| he merely says that they were, sans bas. .I.
We would recommend to Sir Henry, hereafter,
/ to be more cautious how he undertakes 10 pass
jokes upon his Irish cousins, for although we oil
admit that Pat is very clever and honest fellow,
Yet it is equally true that he is very touchv, az

We recollect of having read in history, of an

mand for his recall, under circumstances Of like
aggravating nature.
When silk stockings first came into use, the in
