Items of News.

Scarcely have we time to digest the varied
news received by the steamship Franklia, be
fore that of the America reaches us. This
vessel arrived at Halifax, as will be seen by
telcgraphic despatch received at Baltimore,
and selected from the Saa of that city on
the I'd inst, with three DAYS later adyices
from Liverpool The intelligence brought
by this vessel in relation to the Cotton mar
ket, Is Of cheering nature, increased sales
at advanced prices being noted in the same.
Violent gales are said to have occurred in the
English and Irish channels by which much
damage had been done to the shipping The
ship Emporium, from America has been
wrecked on the coast of Northumberland,
the crew and passengers saved. The news
from France in relation to the advances of
Napoleon towards empire, accords with the
previous accounts anticipating this result 1t
Is SAID that the public mind in Paris is pre-
pared for an immediate proclamation of the
empire, and 1t Is even believed that Napole-
on will return to Paris as Emperor. This is
probable, however, too hasty a consumma-
ton Of the game hitherto played with so
much address, unless the Emperor confined
his rule to the province of his palace in the
i Iullleries or the township of Lyons The
Red Republicans of the Croix, Rouse and
st. Clair, are still in force, and by the latest
accounts are still as memorable as ever, the
shoulders of the people are, under any ordi-
nary circumstances, rather an unstable sup
port for empire or monarchy.
The recent attempt upon the life of Ma
poleon proves at least the existence of many
formidable opponents, nor is the enthusiasm
manifested towards him of such nature, or
so unmitigated by hostility, as to ensure its
existence when relieved Of his presence
The various preparations towards decorating
and furnishing the palace of the Tuilleries
has, however, most significant appearance
The Washington correspondent of the N
Y. Herald mentions, in a Geographic dis
patch to that journal, that the. attention o
the President has been called to the recent
acts of the Cuban authorities, and that prompt
measures will be taken to investigate the af
fair, and act as the nature of circumstance.

The Prospect in North Carolina.

Brownlow, the fighting parson of East
Tennessee, is now on ayisit to Western North
Carolina In a letter written by him from
Ashyille, we find the following:
'The people are very Indifferent about
the Presidential question. This whole coun-
try is wing, but It's impossible to galvanise
life into the body polite, under the lead of
Scott. On Saturday last, regular Mass
Meeting was held here, and Barbecue was
given, after sounding their notes of prepare.
ton far and wide, and inviting the orators
aud statesmen Of the party, from adjoining
States and yet, strange to tell, they were
only able to muster four or FIVE hundred per-
sons, about hu}f the strength Of this county!
The oldest inhabitant" of these whig re-
gions, cannot remember campaign in which
50 little enthusiasm was displayed. The ex-
element even under the lead Of epGutetts,
has not reached the masses Of the people,
and as the leaders have made this discovery,
they themselves abstain from any undue ez.
ertious to warm up the iceberg of the public
mind. ! am honest, and sentimental, when
say, as / now do, that despair has settled
around the heart OF Scott whiggery IN the
Old North State. The failure Of last Satur-
day came upon it like that omlnous dream
which brought
more terror to The soul OF Richard
Than would ten thousand armed men
In proof and panoply Of steel"
If the election is to turn upon this State
Scott will 60 into honorable retirement, and
bury his sorrows in "a hasiy plate of soup.
True, many go9d and influential wings arc

sake Of the party, and out Of respect fol

Special Agent sent to Havana.

1t is stated that President Fillmore has de.
spatched special agent to Havana, to in.
quire into the facts with regard to the treat
ment of the bark Cornelia and the steamship
Crescent City, and if the unofficial accounts
should be corroborated, he will promptly de-
mand ample satisfaction, and, if necessary,
will enforce the same. In the meantime,
the Crescent City has once more sailed from
New Orleans for Havana, with the Cuban
mails and Purser Smith on board. If they
again refuse to permit her to land at Havana
she will quietly proceed on her voyage to n
York.

THE CONNECTICUT ELEcTIoN.-The re-
turns from Connecticut eontinne favorable
for the Democrats. Ninety-6ve towns which
have been heard from, give fifty-eight Demo
cratic, twenty-eight Wing, and eight divided
giving the Democrats THIRTY over the
Wings. Last year, the same towns were
forty-nine Democratic to thirty-nine Wing.
The probability is, that the Democrats have
carried the State. The New Haven Regis
ter infers from these indications, that the
State is safe for PIERCE and KING.

Dead Letters Destroyed.

One hundred and fifty bags, each contain
ing about six bushels of letters, were taken
out and burned according to custom, at
Washington, on the 1st inst. How many
tender missives from loving hearts persisted
in the ruthless flames! How many vows of
eternal affection, and unchanging love, seal
ed with a tear, and half breathed. lest the
world might hear and penned only for the
loved ones eye, sent by the Carrier Dave, !"
of fond remembrance, were then consigned
to oblivion, or exhaled as the incense of
heaven! Perhaps an absent son had address
ed an anxious mother from his far off home
in some distant land, which failed to reach
her, e'or her life was sighed away in lonely
melancholy, and her spirit scared beyond
the reach of earthly missives But letters
are only the impress of the thoughts and
workings of the mind, and the sentiments
of the heart on paper; and though the ma
terial containing the words and letters may
be burned up, yet the spirit dies not-the
essence still lives, and the foot prints of af-
lection can never be erased from the tablet
of the heart Charleston Union.

The Legislature.

This body according to resolution was to
have adjourned on yesterday. A conference
committee had been appointed on the part of
the Senate and House for the purpose of
roconciling if possible their conflicting dis
trict bills. No doubt is entertained of their
failure to agree upon plan. The result of
the session therefore will be limited to few
local and special acts of no public import
ance.

A Mr. Brown, Of England, says be has
invented ship to reach America IN forty
ei0Rt hours. and make the voyage to India
and back in fortnight. His theory is BY
making the bottom in the form Of two in
'clined planes, united upward, to throw the
whole hull Of the vessel upon the surface;
and BY constructing the hull of lighter ma
|terials, in geometric shape, he hopes. to give
TO a steamship the velocity Of . railroad To-

From the Yazoo Democrat.
The Grand Mass Meeting at Jackson.

in a manner truly cheering to the heart 7
every Democrat present. II
At11 o'clock on the 7th, very large pro
cession was formed in front of the Capitol
under the direction of Col. j. w. Rucker
of our county, who was appointed Marsha
of the day, and Major Powell, Of Madison
Assistant, and marched with banners fly
ing, and martial music, to the grove where
preparations had been made for the glorious;
jubilee.
The meeting was organised by calling the
Hon. VIM. Melville to preside, who, upon.
taking the chair, delivered very able, Dig
nifed and appropriate address.
Gov. Foote was then introduced to the
audience and addressed them for an hour in
a very entertaining style. He took occasion
to make very powerful and eloquent appeal
to Union Democrats and Union Wings to
come up to the support Of Pierce and King.
In fact his whole speech was directed TO the
Union party, to show that they had every in
ce0tive to urge them to support, with zeal,
the democratic ticket.
Hon. A. G.. Brown next took the stand,
and delivered one of the ablest and most eff
fcctive speeches we have ever heard from
him Gov b. is favorite of the democra-
cy, and he never rises to address them with
out creating great enthusiasm. / At the close
of bis speech, the President Announced that
dinner was ready for the crowd, and that the
meeting stood adjourned till J o'clock at
night, at which time, the Banner which was
prepared by the ladies of jackson, would be
awarded to the county entitled to it, after
which, several speeches mig ht be expected.
After dinner the crowd returned to the
stand, and being anxious to hear some one,
Judge G. W j. Smith addressed them in
his peculiarly interesting style, showing up
whiggery and Gen Scott in light by No
means cnviable.
