congressional district in the parishes" just where
the special friends of Charleston should be found.
Now nobody advocates secession, but a few
desperate reckless men; then there is great
danger of immediate secession, unless, &c.
Now we are branded as disunionists per Sc
violent, fanatcal, and revolutionary then again
we are told that we are only playing bluff game,
trying whether whole State can frighten Fill
more as badly as those celebrated fifteen negroes
in Boston.
No,o we are told we reject the offers, spurn
the assistance, and disregard the sentiments OF
other States. A writer in Charleston actually
quotes our address, to show that we are willing
to give fair trial to any remedy or plan pro-
posed by sister State.

HUNGARIAN AND POLISH REFUGEES OF A
QUESTIONABLE CHARAcTER.--An officer of the
United States, of high personal character writes,
under the 9Th ult., from Constantinople
ION the 10th of June the regular English
steamer left Constantinople of Southam pton
with one hundred and ten so-called refugees on
board, with thirty more from the Dardanelles,
making one hundred and forty in all. OF the
one hundred and ten, thirty are nominally Polish
refugees, and eighty are nominally Hungarian
refugees. But am sorry to say tn at the Poles
are represented to me "a being the dregs of the
emigrants. and many Of them were Jewish Poles,
tradesmen here established, who imposed upon
the generosity Of the Turkish government to
obtain gratuitous passage. OF the eighty
called Hungarians, there are some Italians and
Greeks Of miserable reputation. Certainly, there
are also Hnngarans, honorable and brave, among
them. But on their arrival at New York severa
of their leading men on board ought to be en-
ployed by the proper authorities to point ou

MANNERS AND CUsToMs OF THE LoNDoNKRs
The London correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer thus alludes to some of the customs OF the
people of that city, which would be far more
bonored in the breach than the observance
"The customs of some of the people of the men
Of England Goblet called it, are not such as
we would desire to initiate. II is not unusual to
see men walking in the streets with ladies', and
putting the smoke OF mos, abominabe tobacco in
to the faces Of their fair companions. The weed
is not masticated as with us, and he who chews
is no, esteemed very highly, but cigar and pipe
smoking are common, and carried to great ex-
tremes.-Sometimes going into an eating house,
persons are met engaged in putting away at rank
cigar or pipe, totally Indifferent, to the tastes or
olfactories of the company present.
Gin palaces abound throughout the city, and
men and women resort to them in vast numbers
They are generally provided with two entrances
one for those who drink the liquor on the premi-
SEES, the other for those who purchase in larger
quantities. The signs inform the public which is
the jug entrance and which the common recep.

such affairs, can learn that Mr.. Smith, Wine ane

COLLISION AND Loss OF LrFE.-It will be re-
membered that the steamer Europa when near
Halifax on her last trip, ran down fshin 10
schooner. The particulars of this distressing
accident are given by the captain of the schooner
Florence, in which he lays the blame altogether
on the officers of the steamer, and adds:
The steamer, going nearly twelve knots an
hour, struck the schooner in the stern carrying
1t away partially, and swinging the vessel round
one OF the paddle-wheels struck and passed
lengthwise over the deck, crushing the bulwarks
and leaving The vessel n perfect wreck The
steamer passed on for a considerable distance
before her Roadway could be checked and when
she had again reached the wreck, the crew, IF.
teen IN number, were up to their waists in water.
lhcy were all rescued but one, Young man
named JOS Z. Snow, Is or 10 years of age, be-
longing to Orleans, Massachusetts,. In reference
10 ms loss, the captain states that when he last
saw him he was standing by his side on deck.
AT the time of the collision, the captain rushed
down INTO the cabin TO save his son and another
lad, who was there. II is supposed that Snow
was struck by the paddle wheel and crushed to
death, or carried overheard BY order of the
captain OF The Europa, boat was sent to the

United States to the ports of Naples have ton

those stopping at intermediate ports, on Their

TO abolish this excessive duty, and to reduce the
tonnage rates for indirect voyages TO the same
scale exacted for direct voyages. The repea
of the law saves to every American vessel which
arrives at the ports of Neaples, after having
traded by the way, from $3.50 to $3.50.

THE AFFAIR or THE PROMETHEUS.--
An English gentleman, who was pas
senger ON this vessel, writes as follows
to the Diario: Son the 2Ist November,
about half-past one p. m., we arrived
at San Juan de Nicaragua, and it was
soon apparent that there was a cause
of disagreement between the English
consul and the Captain and owner OF
the Prometheus About ! O'clock the
PrometheuS hove up her anchors and
commended running out Of the bay, at
which time her British MajeSty'S brig
Express fired at us cannon, with
out ball, which our Captain did not
pay any attention TO. A few minutes
afterwards, another gun was fired with
a ball, which passed between the main
mast and the foremast. The Prone
theus then caSt anchor and Com. Van
derbilt launched his boat and went
aboard the British brig-of-war. In re-
gard to what passed there, / can affirm
nothing, except that when Mr.. Wander
bilt returned, he Informed us that ey-
erything had been arranged by his ha-
wing settled the port dues, which, it
my memory does not deceive me, am
ounted to one hundred and twenty-five
dollars. During the negotiations
which occurred, an officer of the EX-
press came on board four times, and
each time received, as well as his boats
crew, the grosSeSt insults. Several OF
the American passengers desired the
Captain of the Prometheus to attack
and capture the British brig, i'll order
to avenge the insult which they decla-
red had been given to the American
flag The Diario states that this ac-
count is conformable, in every particu-
lar with another it received the day,
previously, from Spaniard.
