TENNYSoN AND LONGFELLoW IN ENG
LAND.-The editor of the Utica New
York Herald, writing from England, gives
the following gossip concerning Jenny
son:
1t is no secret that Mr.. Tennyson is an
almost hopeless victim to opium. Those
who have read his poem of Maud, will the
more readily believe this story true by the
singular character of this production -
He is living on beautiful little estate On
the Isle of Wight, though he has been at
the Lakes for some time past. 1t may
shock some of our sentimentaly la
dy readers to be told that the author of
the Princess, has decidedly African
head, anything but a handsome face, and
very sensual looking lips. He is by no
means popular with the mass of the En-
glish people; indeed, large bookseller
in Oxford told me that where he sold
one copy Of Tennyson, he sold three CO.
pies of Longfellow; that indeed, the lat
ter had more English reading than any
other living poet on either side Of the
water

W5~ Listen, We Dyspeptics.-GO
and do Likewise. Permanent Cure

"
The Rev. James Hunnicutt, proprietor and
editor of that excellent paper, the Christian
Banner, published at Fredericksburg, Va,
in his editorial of June 9Th, 1857, thus speaks
of his cure:
HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE.
1t will remembered by many of our readers,
that several years ago we stated in the edi-
torial columns of the Christian Banner, that
HAMPToN's VEGETABLE TINCTURE had effected
a cure for Dyspepsia in our own case-that
we had labored long with this terrible dis
ease, and suffered most awfully, the pain and
melancholy which necessarily accompanies
this horrible enemy of man and mans hap
piness. For a long time we lived in constant
fear that the fell monster would return
But, thank God, and thanks to Hampton's
Tincture, the gloomy demon has not yet re
turned, and we begin to think he never will.
Wenow feel confident in saying that Hamp-
toms Vegetable Tincture has made radical
cure of Dyspepsia in our own case We have
not taken drop of it for the last two years,
to the best of our recollection. We eat what
we please, and as much as we please and chew
tobacco to our hearts content, and all is well.
We believe that twelve bottles, judiciously
taken, will cure nine cases out of every ten of
dyspeptics. We conscientiously recommend
it to all dyspeptics. The spring time and
summer it is, most recommended, therefore,
as a philanthropist, we call attention to it.
Editor Of the Christian Banner.
Call and get Pamphlets, and see cures of
Cough, rheumatism, Scrofula, &c. As a res
torative and invigorator, it has been highly
recommended.

"The Weather and the Poor.o

"A friend called on us yesterday and re-
minded us of the fact, which we had lost
sight of, that a meeting of the citizens
had already been called, and the proper
committees appointed to solicit contribu-
tions for the purpose of supplying the
poor with wood for the winter.
The Humane Society was recognized
at this meeting and solicitors appointed
and all necessary arrangements entered
into, and they were only waiting for
cold snap to arouse the sympathies Of the
people before calling on them for their
contributions.
We are gratifed to learn that an effec-
tive reorganization has been completed,
the visitors and solicitors duly appointed,
whose names will be published in the city
papers at an early day. We bespeak, in
behalf of those whose necessities so loudly
appeal to the sympathies Of every phil
anthropist and Christian-prompt and
energetic action on the part of the visi-
tors and solicitors-and likewise, ready
and liberal response on the part of our
citizens generally. Let the good work
accomplished last winter, the most severe
for many years-prove an incentive to
greater effort the present win ter.

REPORT OF THE Loss OF THE CENTRAL
AMERIoA.-Com. Perry and others, ap-
pointed in New York to investigate the
cause of the loss of the steamship Central
America, have just made their report
They declare from the evidence that neg.
ligence and the want of proper organiza-
ton of the crew, together with the indie
pendence of the several departments of
each other, were at the bottom of cal
amity which resulted in the loss of the
steamer and the sacrifice of so many lives.
There appearts, they say, to have been no
material defect in the vessel or machine
ry-the leakage being as cribed to other
causes. The deck pumps were not in
working order, and those connected with
the donkey engine were in questionable
condition. There was no carpenter on
board, and in the department of the en-
gineer there was too much independence
of action, and striking want of respon-
sibility to the commander Of the ship.

is progressing with great spirit. There
will be very large vote. 1t is impossi-
BILE to judge regarding the result. The
opposition to Wood are quite sanguine Of
success. There has been some skirmish-

outbreaks. There are apprehensions,
however, Of trouble. A strong police

Hea. From the Pacific Sentinel, of Oct.
81st, we condense an account of the pro-
ceedings, of a meeting of the citizens of
Santa Cruz (Cal.,) and vicinity, "to ex-
press their appreciation Of the humanity
and kindness of the people of Norfolk to-
ward the passengers rescued from the
wreck of the Central America"
ELIHU ANTHONY presided and JAMES
WATERS acted as secretary. Remarks
were made by several gentlemen, who
were enthusiastic in awarding honor and
gratitude to those who befriended so gen.
erously the survivors of the great calami-
ty, while they condemned Indignantly
the conduct of the Steamship Compa-
MES.
The following preamble and resolu-
tons were reported to the meeting and
unanimously adopted.
Whereas, We, the people of Santa Cruz,
anxious to indicate our appreciation of the
self-sacrifcing and humane conduct of the
officers and crew of the brig Marine and the
good people Of Norfolk, Virginia, in rescuing
and ministering to the necessities of the sur
yivors of the wreck of the steamship Central
America, deem it proper unitedly and pub
licly to give expression to that appreciation
of their services, therefore,
Resolved, That we tender to the officers
and crew of the brig Marine, and good peo-
Die of Norfolk, the heartfelt thanks of this
community, for their labors and their gene
rosity in behalf of suffering humanity, and in

A Committee was also selected to draft
resolutions expressing sense of indigna-
ton against the Steamship Companies,
who, after short conference, reported the
following:
Whereas, We have learned with regret
and indignation of the sad and lamentable
disaster which befel the steamer Central
America, and by believing as we 40, that at 1t
was caused by the negligence OF the Com

COTTON IS KING.-The New York

COTTON IS K1NG.-The New York
Herald says:
cat all events, whatever change the vir-
tual suspension of the bank may cause,
it is quite evident that nothing can for the
present restore to England the control of
the commercial affairs of the world. That
control has been vested in the U. States
by the force of circumstances. The pri-
ority our revulsion here, and the sus-
pension of our New York banks; the sud-
den aggregation of specie here, and the
stagnation of trade, have placed the U.
States in position to command the
world, in a commercial peint of view
We can exact specie for our cotton, and
Europe cannot do without it; we can
keep all our gold, and England cannot
take it from us. If our banks play their
cards with ordinary discretion this crisis
will crown the commerce of the United
States as the controlling power of the
worlds trade"
Thus it is-C0Hon is Kingl It is uni
versal monarch. 1t is cotton that proves
the sheet anchor to the United States in
the financial storm. It is cotton that
makes Europe dependent, and, in the
midst Of these amazing monetary convul-
sions, offers to our hands the sceptre of
the world. Cotton, which could not be
cultivated without slave labor, proves it.
