LIBERALITy TO THE CoLoNIzATIoN SOCIETY IN
MIssIssiPPI.-Mr. David Hunt, wealthy planter
of Mississippi, sent few days ago five thousand
dollars to the Rev. William McLain, secretary and
treasurer of the American Colonization Society.
The same gentleman gave to the same society in
April last five hundred dollars, and he has contri-
buted FIVE hundred one thousand dollars annu-
ally for the last fen or twelve years,
Some fifteen years ago, we are informed, Mr..
Gurley visited Mississippi, and received from
about twenty gentlemen in hatcher and its vicinity
two thousand dollars At that time Mr. David
Hunt gave five hundred dollars, and other gentle
men made generous and noble offerings TO the
cause. We trust the Savannah Colonization So
cety will be melted by such worthy examples TO
contributions commensurate with its ability and
the noble purposes to be attained

Such was the substance of the news brought to

Our own correspondent at Constanhnople, wri-
ting on the 9th, says:
Cali is activity here, while the decision of the
Dvan is still pending, and at the Porte, as well as
in the diplomatic circle, councils and conferences
are of almost hourly occurrence. 1t is believed
that the ultimatum presented on the 9th will be
rejected. Tomorrow is the last day allowed by
Menschikoff for an answer. You have already been
informed of the settlement of the question of the

From the London Times, MAJ g.
The appointment of Redschid Pasha to the Office
of Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs at the pre-
sent crisis was announced by this journal on Mon
day morning, and it has now been fully confirmed
by intelligence subsequently received from Vienna
and Paris. 1t is a remarkable circumstance that
the public In London were a. priced of this import
ant fact-which implied at once the nature of the
determination about to be taken by the Portfolio
fore it was known in either Of the great continent
tai capitals; and, accordingly, we were enabled TO
form more correct conjecture OF the probable
course of events than our foreign contemporaries
In ability, in acquaintance with the general poll
tics of Europe. and in resolution to uphold the o.
toman Empire against Russia, Redschid Pasha
stands unquestionaby at the head of Turkish
statesmen and the first step towards resistance was
to restore him g the petition which no one else
could fill with edAaI efficiency. The series of dis
asters and blunders which have lowered and
weakened the Porte in the last few months are
all subsequent TO his fall, and must be laid
to the charge of his unfortunate and incom-
petent successors. The personal spirit and de-
termination of the Sultan, Abdul Medjid, did not
give way in the emergency in which he was

They are slaves, not In right nor In name. but In

And this white slavery 10 in reality moro unhappy
than the black negro slavery, for the master Is In
terested In taking good Of his negro, while in
the arstocracy one is interested in preventing the
unhappy workman from dying from hunger, or cold,
or misery.
But the present is very different from the past.
To-day revolutions, books, journals, public Discus
sions, have enlightened the workmen or the people,
and they demand reforms which may guarantee to
them liberty, education, marriage and family, exist
ence and comfort.

ton Of the age for the entire world,
Hereafter revolutions will not only be political but
social in their character Politics will only be a
means, and reform social ameloration will be the
aim.
To arrest this socialist movement it will be neces
sary, as a certain usurper, despot and tyrant has
crimnally and fooshly attempted to do. to suppress
the words liberty equality fraternity, to destroy the
press and libraries, the right of reunion and discus
sion, and republicanism ITSELF and replace it by abso
lutte monarchy.
But it will be necessary to destroy republicanism
and democracy in America, railroads, steamboats,
teegraphs &C.; and American republicanism, al.
ways advancing instead of retrograding, will study
and decide all the questions in which humanity in
terested.

New England alone has at least 1900 vessels in
the Pacific whale fishery, averaging some twenty
five men, and $26 900 capital to each vessel seven
eghths OF which seek their cargoes In high northern
ATTITUDES about and beyond Behring's Straits. Four
years Is the commonly allotted time for reaching
the fishing grounds, securing q cargo. and return
ing home-at least one year of which time Is con-
sumed in making the voyage. To obviate this
expensive loss Of time, it is in contempla-
ton by those engaged in the business on the
Atlantic to establish depot on the Pacific for
storing the oil fast cargo is taken; and, in
connection with whatever whaling vessels might be
in their service on the Pacific, establish line Of
clipper Ships for sending out cargoes Of merchandise
provisions &c, and returning with cargo Of oil
from the depot-thus keeping whalers constantly on
the fishing grounds--three of which would about
give constant employment to one clipper ship, with
out any serious loss of time either side. manu-
factory would also be established in connection with
the depot for rendering the oil suitable for market
Does any one inquire" elbow is all the merchandise
of the clipper ships to be disposed Off" We would
reply that those engaged with China, Japan, &c. in
the cod and salmon trade, would find ready mar
ket for all suitable articles of merchandise in those
distant ports and that connection might be estab-
lshed throughout, alike advantageous to all.
Does any one inquire--"Where could be found Q
place suitable for the establishment Of the proposed
depot" We reply here !-on the waters Of the
sound.
