The RIGHT OF SEARcH.-The London Times
of April Bird, comments upon the fact that for
the first time in her history England enters upon
war NTH the admission Of the rights Of neutrals
equal in all respects TO the broadcast concessions
ever made to them by those States which have
been most disposed to favor the neutral trade
The following extract from the article in the
Times is sufficiently explicit. 1t plainly fore
shadows the policy which England will pursue !:
The paragraph which announces that Her Maj
esty will waive the right of Selling enemy's prop
erty on board a neutral vessel, unless it be con
traband of war, is formal and complete appli-
cation in its widest sense of the celebrated doc
trne "Free bottoms make free goods" 1t has
never been the policy of this country, to con-
denim, as general rule, neutral property found
in enemy's ships,so that in this respect our prac-
tice of the law of prizes will remain unaltered.-
The British and French cruisers will continue to
exercise the right of Selling articles contraband
of war, and of preventing neutrals from bearing
the enemy's dispatches; and for these purposes
they must exercise the right ofSearch, which no
country has either renowned or resisted when it
is confined to those necessary objects.

The case of the Black Warrior, see,had at
tracted some attention in the House of Commons
A Mr.. Hutchins, after detailing the circumstan-
ces connected with the seizure of the steamer
asked Lord John Russell whether the government
had authorised Mr.. Champion british Minister at
Washington to act in the matter on behalf of the
Spanish Government, Lord John Russell merely
replied that communication had been sent to the
U. States on the subject but no information had
yet been received in return from Mr.. Champion.
And there the matter rested

Highly Interesting from Mexico.

The latest dates from the city of Mexico are
to the 4th inst.The principal feature of the news
is the revolution OF Alvarez. At last accounts
Santa Anna was at Chilpancinga where he had
established his head quarters; and according to
official accounts, his progress and prospects were
quite favorable for the established government;
but the n. o. Picayune has letter from the City
of Mexico, which gives very different view of
the state of affairs The writer states, that since
the arrival of Santa Anna at Chilpancnga, he
had lost some 5000 men by sickness and deser-
ton, while Alvarez, on the contrary, was report
ed to be in possession of impregnable positions
with forces rapidly augmentng by accessions of
chiefs and followers. Various circumstances
show that he infusing terror into Santa An
ma. For instance, the advanced guard of the
government troops captured the rebel Lieutenant
Colonel Jose Maria Torres, and the subaterns,
ID. Lawreano Rodriguez and ID. n. Arroyo. AL
yarez, appraised of the capture of Torres, who, it
would appear, is a person of consequence, stand
ing and influence, in Guerrero, immediately wrote
to Gen. Palacios, advising him that he would be
held personally responsible for the fate of Torres
in revenge for whose death, should he be shot,
Alvarez threatened that he would cause Lieut..
Col. Sambouino, Lieut.. Holzinger, of the Navy,
and some other officers not named, whom he had
kept in his custody as hostages from the COM
mencement of hostilities to be Immediately shot.
At the same time he proposed an exchange of
piiSohNiS' II "do itphtu JuSltc must tdht
its course; but the latest accounts left Torres and
his fellow prisoners alive; while it is believed that
nothing but fear could have been the ruling mo-
tive with Santa Anna III restraining him from inn
medatey executing Torres.
The hill of Peregrino one of the principal
strongholds of the rebels, has been fortified by
Alvarez, and is perfectly impregnable. 1t is an
exceedingly high mountain, accessible only by
winding road, along which there is not room for
men to walk but in single file. He has mounted
battery there by which all points comman-
died. and he has mined many of these; so that if
any of the troops sent against him should
cape the effects of the cannon, they will have
yet more destructive assault to encounter.
Hostities, it is stated, were to be commenced
on the 4th and the general opinion of intelligent
men was that Santa Anna would be defeated; in
which event the people elsewhere would rise en-
masSe against him, and he would be overthrown.
The correspondent of the Picayune confidently
says Alvarez is destined to be the avenger of the
Republic, and would shoot Santa Anna without
waiting for his confession.
We may shortly expect stirring news from
Mexico.-R. Dispatch.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT Yesterday morning as
the Southern mail train from Petersburg was pro-
eeeding at Il rapid rate, the locomotive came in
contact with two cows standing upon the track.
The engine and tender, baggage and mail cars
passed over one of them without damage, but the
hrst passenger car was thrown from the track and
completely demolished.
We regret to have to add that Mr.. James b.
Ezell' Messengerfor Adams q Co.'s Express, had
leg broken,and was otherwise severely bruised
Mr.; VIM. H. Clark Baggage Agent, was consid-
erably but not seriously injured, and several of
the passengers were slightly injured. Had the
coupling of the cars not have broken, the loss of
life and limbs must have been much more seri-
Gus; and still more fortunately most of the pas
sengers, including all the ladies, were seated in
the cars in rear of that thrown from the track

NEw-YoRK, Aug. %, 1854
The most prospecting mining is yet to be
found in Tennessee-and Lake Superior regions.
To give the utmost effect to the development of
Tennessee mines, Smelling Company has
been formed at Ducktown, in Polk county
We learn that its buildings and works are near.

have been made, which prove satisfactory
The Isabella Mining Company of Polk coun-
ty, the richest of all the rich mines of.that
county, is erecting ovens, or floors for roasting
their ores; that is burning out the sulphur, and
reducing them to thirty or forty per cent. of
metal. A distinguished and experienced ge-
ologist and mining engineer, Mr. Bray, of Lon
don, has spent about two months in Ducktown
exploring the copper mines of that township
The following is an estimate made by him of
the capability of the Tennessee mines for pro-

LIVE TEMpERATE-All who have mind to
live long and healthy and die without sickness
of body or mind, must Immediately begin to live
temporarily for such regularity keeps the
humors of the body mild and sweet, and suffers
no gross fiery vapors to ascend from the stomach
to the head; hence the brain of him who lives
in that manner enjoys such constant ser entity
that he is always perfectly master Of himself.
Happily freed from the tyranny Of bodily sppe
tites and passions he easily soars above to the
exalted and delightful contemplation OF heavenly
objects; by this means his mind becomes gradu-
ally enlightened with divine truth and expands
itself to the glorious enrapturing view OF the
Power, Wisdom and Goodness. He then descends
to Nature and acknowledges her for the dsugh-
ter of God, and views her varied charms with
sentiments of admiration, JOY and gratitude,
becoming the most favored of sublunary beings

DUTCH TEMPERANCE.-An old Dutchman
who had recently joined the,,temperance society,
was taken sick and sent for doctor to prescribe
for him who ordered him to take an ounce of
brandy per day. The old chap overhauled his
arithmetic and found in the tables of Apotheca-
ries weight eight drachms make an ounce.
"Mine Got" says the Dutchman, "that is the
temperance society for me; did not take but
six drains before, now l gets eight" The con-
sequence was, that his complaint went off, and
took him with it.

A KNow-NoTHING VICTORY.

At the late municipal election in Nashville,
that mysterious organization, the Know-Noth.
ings played one of their tricks upon the politi-
tians. Tickets with the name of William B
Shapard for Mayor, who was not. known be-
fore as a candidate, were put in circulation, and
AZ the close of the polls, he was found to be
elected Mayor of the city by $50 majority.
This was more than the editors of the Nash
vile Union could bear, and they proceed to
read him, although aoorthy man, ont of the
democratic party. Hear what the Union says:
IA friend in Rutherford says it is reported
up there that SHAPARD, our new Mayor, is a
democrat and know-nothing, and asks if it is
true. 1t is certainly not true. He cannot be
both.-If he is know-nothing he is not dem
ocrat. Our correspondent may mark that down
as certain. Mr. SHAPARD has been a decided
and consistent democrat long enough for his
head to become bald and bis beard to turn
white. We doubt if be has tired of his democ-
racy in all the long years which have dealt
thus with his head and his beard. We doubt
if he is a 'know nothing" or if he sympathises
with the Ned BuRt5i1e movement at ALL We
doubt if the "Know Nothings" had any thing
whatever to do with his election. We profess
20 kRo'o nothing about these things, but We
may be permitted to judge of men by the char
acters they have previously borne"

The REV. HoRATIo Potter, D. D.-Sin-
gtlar COincidence.-At the late election, on
Friday last, for a Provisional Bishop of the
Diocese Of New York, to supply the place of
the recently deceased prelate, Bishop Vain
wright. the choice fell,as our readers have been
already appraised. after several balottings, upon
the Rev. Dr. Horatio Potter D. D., Rector of
ST. Peters Church, Albany. This gentleman
is a brother of the Ri Rev. Alonzo Potter, D..
D., LII. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Pennsyl-
vania, and fact worthy of note is, thatwhile
the latter who is the elder of the two, was cleo
ted to supply the place of the elder Bishop On
derdonk, III. w. of Pennsylvania,the former is
now elected to take the place Of the other Bish'
op Onderdonk, (B. IT, of New York; who is
also the younger of the two brothers. And
thus we have the singular anomaly of two
brothers, both Bishops, elected to preside over
the largest and most important Dioceses in
this country, both of whose bishops are noO
suspended and both of whom are also brothers

The Corn CroD.

The Atlanta Intellgencer of the 10Th ult.,
says-The news from various sections of the
country respecting the crops renders it proba-
BILE that there will be a full average of the corn
crop, about which there has been so much con-
Germ. The large area of land sown in conse-
quence of the late high prices of breadstuffs
has probably more than made up for the inju-
ries TO the cropin the several sections of coun-
try where the drought has prevailed. The ad-
vices, since the late rains, from North Carolina
crops of corn are raised, are very encouraging.
