THE ORIENTAL TRADE-ALABM OF ENG
LAND.

A writer in the Lendon Daily News is
disturbed by the apprehension OF American
competition in the India trade. He thinks
that after all The battles fought TO establish
English commercial supremacy in India and
the East, the danger is imminent 10 their
continued possession of that trade, on ac-
count of the enterprise Of the Americans in
that quarter. After abiding to the growth
of The Russian Commerce in India, the wri-
Ter urges some instant action of the East
India Company to retain its ground, ad
ding -
"Our commerce cannot be forced like a
cucumber, but must be reared like an infant
And this the Court neglecs, TO srangle il in
it's birth. Americas incipient trade with
the opposite coast, on which they hold no
harbor, and where they have fought no bat
Ties, nor acquired large kingdoms, is al
ready becoming more valuable than our
own, and will grow into an extensive colp-
merce. Any mail may tell us that an
American Consul is appointed 10 the Gulf.
"Time, indeed, it was that the Cour,
should awaken from its nightmare. An
American ship master will land a cargo on
the Mekran coast al less expense than a
cargo of British goods can be landed in
Bombay and the only way 10. defy such
dangerous competition is TO make the most
of the great advantages afforded By the In
dus as the highway to Central Asia.
'It is America, not Russia, we fear. All

imposed ian additional al Unlorem duty of 5
per cent. Oh impor'a,ious Of English goods

HUMAN FAT, CANDLES AND SoAp.-When
the Cemetery Of the 1nnocents at Paris was
removed outside OF the barriers, the buried
corpses which had accumulated TO The depth
of sixty feet, were found, 10 great extent
apparently converted into fat. The sub
stance of the skin, cellular tissue, aud tend
ons, all the soft parts; and even the bones,
had completely disappeared, leaving only
the fat, which, resisting longest the infu-
ence of decay, (oxygen,) remained in the
form of margaric acid. This human fat was
employed TO the extent Of many tons by the
soap boilers and lallow chambers of Paris,
for the manufacture of soap and candies
The French are people of fine sentiment,
and they certainly carried the quality TO a
charming point Of reflection in receiving
light from candles made out Of the bodies Of
their fathers.

4 THE HABIT of eating fast and carelessly, is
supposed to have paralyzed Napoleon OH two
of the most crilical occasions of his Iife-,he
battles of Boroino and Leipsic. On each OF
those occasions he is known TO have been
suffering from indigestion. On the third day
at Dresien, too, las the German novelist,
Hoffman, who was in the town, asserts the
Emp 'ror's energies were impaired by the e.
feet Of sh uder OF mutton stuffed with on

irregularity as TO meals injured his health al d
shortened his life. The general order 10 his
household was, TO have outlets and roas,
chickens ready at all hours, nigh, and day ;
and it was observed to the letter by his
muitre d'hotei, Dunaud, who had been cell

emergencies, when an hour of prolonged

Telegnphc dispatches received from Albany
state that the anti-rent outrages have again been
resumed In the very heart OF the Empire State
Of the North, theofcers of the law are hunted like
malsfactors, fortunate to escape with life while
attempting to perform their duty. Here is the
account Of the transaction:
ALBANY, Feb 23--Last night party OF II
policemen started for Berne, among the Helder-
burg mountains, for the purpose OF arrestlng the
ringleaders of the anti rent party, who had tarred
and feathered E. NJ Fish last April. The police
we're armed to the teeth. They reached the
place of their destination about o'clock this
morning, and breaking into the house OF the two

and carried them off. The antl-rent war cry
was then sounded, and large party soon as
sembcd, who pursued the captors. The poiice'
after proceeding some distance, were stopped oy
a barricade in the road, and the anti-renters de-
manded the release Of their prisoners. This
was refused, and upon the police drawing their
pistols and threatening to use them, the anti
renters retired, breathing threats OF vengeance.
The officers reached here in safety this evening.

tors, many of our citizens having been invited
to visit her, A large number attended, consist

we're soon engaged in the exciting enjoyment
of the dance At about two, the ladies' were

The Legislature of Alabama adjourned on
Tuesday last. The Montgomery Journal, in
noticing the doings of the legislature, says,
"Politcally, the session has been humbug."
although coming with at least forty Union
or compromise majority, the whole tendency of

bad management of the Union majority, or to
the tresson'of some of its members.
"Our gallant Union senator has been sacrificed
and as far us we can learn, by the treason OF
professed friends from his own section. South
Alabama stood up to the last. For this whole
wretched business we feel the most ncffable

LETTER FROM A. A. GUTHRIE.

PUTNAM, Feb. TO- 1852.
To the President Of the FreesoH Convention al
Columbus:
DEAR SIR Being unable to attend your con-
vention, beg the privilege of expressing in this
manner, to that body, my undated interest in
the objects it processes.
confess myself disappointed in the results
of the Buffalo convention. To one at the time
it did seem that the people had become tho
roughly awake, both to their rights and their
duties, and that party attachments are no longer
to prevent manly, fearless, assertion of the
rights of the free North to take the control OF
the government, and to WELD it in favor of lib
erty.
While believe that that demonstration did
exert salutary influence on the then pending
election, am constrained to admit that the
high hopes then formed have faded away, and
left the sad conviction that the people of The
free States are yet to learn lessons of deep hu
initiation, before they will rise to the true posi-
ton and dignity of freemen.
| In the present state of public sentiment and
of parties ! cannot doubt that the friends Of
| freedom are called upon to unite upon the great
principles 80 long contended for by anti-slavery
voters, and again to take the field rs a nationa
/ party

CuRIous INc,DENT.-We extract the subjoined
from the jackson (Miss) correspondent of the
Natchez Courier
"Another strange announcement was made IN
the House Of Representatives this morning. You
recollect of my having written you that Mr.. Cook,
of Tippah, in solemn tones, some days since, an
nounced the death of his colleague, Mr.. Redfearn.
The usual resolutions, badges, copies of resoh
tons to the widow, etc., attended to. "A short
time afterwards Mr.. Keith produced to the House
u letter from the deceased gentleman, denying his
death, and moved a rescision Of the resolutions
The House thereupon resolved that no member
should announce the death of colleague, thereafter
on the strength Of Geographic intelligence. This
morning Mr.. Moody had the melancholy duty o
stating that Mr.. Redfearn had taken relapse
and was really dead"

APractIcaI Commentary.

The STATE Rights Is. CO Republican asks
the following pertinent questions in relation to
the rendition of fugitive slaves under the last
law:
FuGIrIvE SLAvEs.-According to the census
report. an abstract of which has been made and
published, it seems that during the year ending
June, 1850, l,0ll' slaves escaped from their
owners. Assuming this number as an average
of the annual escapes, we would ask how many
have been returned by virtue of the fugitive
slave law? Has it been more than one in a
hundred? Has this law restored more than the
odd eleuen out of the one thousand ana eleven (!

HON. HENRY CLAY AND GEN. LAFAYETTE
The National htellgencer of Monday contains
the following note from Mr.. Clay:
A Correction.-A paragraph is going the round
of the newspapers, stating that the answer ofGen.
Lafayette to the address which, as Speaker of the
House Of Representatives made to him upon
the occasion of his last visit to this country, was
prepared by me, though pronounced by him. Tins
is mistake, which, in justice both to his memory
and to myself, ought to be corrected. 1t was COM
posed by himself, as the style abundantly shows.
On the morning OF his reception by the House OF
Representatives he breakfasted with me alone, and
stated or read to him the address which intend
ed to make to him on that day The expression
occurs in it, that he was in the midst Of posterty
on reading which remarked to him that it would
afford him fine opportunity to pay us handsome
compliment, which he might do by saying No,
and that he found himselfsurrounded by the same
patriotic men, attached to liberty, devoted to free
institutions and with all the high attributes which
distinguished his revolutionary compatriots. The
General seemed pleased with the idea, adopted it,
and incorporated it in his This trivial in
cident could have been only the foundation of the
paragraph RI. CLAY.
