We vublish ia our columns to-day, the famous Southern manifesto prepared by Mr. Calhoun, of South Carolina, (the separate paper of Mr. Berrien 1s almost identical,) and issued under the appro- bation of a large portion of th: Southern members of the present Congress, sitting at Washington. We also publish, in the same connection, and as a fit accompaniment, a very curious and remarkable speech delivered by ex-Governor Seward, ot this State, at Cleveland, in Ohio, in the month of Oc- tober last. Mr. Calhoun’s manifesto on the aggressions made by the North on Southern institutions, and Mr. Seward’s speech and declarations, declaring the purposes and principles of the party with which he is connected at the North, will thus be seen to be part and parcel of the same movement, the same agitation, end the same disturbing controversy, which, for the first time since the revolution, now seriously menaces the permanence of this confe_ deracy. We desire our readers to peruse both with care and attention. This manifesto, written by Mr. Calhoun, has been very much commented upon by the newspaper prees. Since the Southern members held their first meeting in Washington, for the purpose of matur- ing such a paper and issuing it to the Southern States, Mr. Calhoun placed himself at once 1n the front rank, as a champion,of Southern inatitu- tions. This would of course excite the jealousy of many of his colleagues, who would on that account naturally endeavor to misrepresent and misstate the positions assumed by the writer, and the prin- sects as to produce the most awful conflagra- Nonsin a neighboring city. The same double-faced demegogue etirred up another portion of the peaceable and quiet citizens of this State, and pro- duced a rupture between propiictors of land and their nants, in certain counties, which is not yet settled, and probably will not be without some awiul and terrible scenes, similar to those which took place when it first broke out. All these local excitements and religious exaspe- rations might be overlooked; but when we see sequence of the social condition of a class of the popvlatien of the South—a condition which is far happier and far mere comfortable than that of many of the white race im the North—when we see such a demagogue, out of such a social condi- tion endeavoring to excite and exasperate popular which wall lead to its disruption, it is time for the sensible practical business men of this and other communities of the North, to pause and ask, “Where will such men and such doctrines lead tov’ Yetthis man seeks to be sent to the United States Senate, there to widen the breach, which is already unfortunately too wide, between the North and the South. How can we, after reflecting on these matters, and looking over the whole ground, judge harshly of the representations put forth in the Southera manifesto? The gentlemen who issue it have abundant reesons for taking the course which they have assumed; and the moderation with which they have urged their purposes and views, ought to recommend their manifesto to the favorable consideration ot all true and sincere friends of the Union, at the North and every other portion of the confederacy. We do not give our readers the separate manifesto of Mr. Berrien and the minority, because it is al- most the same in every particular. Mors Capinet Maxinac—VErmonT IN THE Fretp.—The Green Mountains of Vermont are fa- mous for the production of healthy sound timber. Cabinet making, therefore, in that region, ought 19 appear quite natural and proper. Accordingly, we find that the Legislature of that worthy State have waked up all ot a sudden, have searched into precedents, and perused the histories of the United States, and have made the discovery that they have never yet had a Vermonter in any President’s Cabinet in Washington, to the present day. Upon this discovery being made by the profound arche- ologists of the Green Mountains, the Legislature STEAMSHIP CANADA.

Accounts from all parts of the kingdom continue to epeak of the present improved appearance of commercial affairs, compared with the correspond- ing season of 1848, The effects of the financial crisis, of the autumn of 1847, and the continental revolutions of the last epring, are still operating disadvantageously for the country ; we think the turning point has been arrived at, and the general impression among commercial men now 1s, that we may expect a steady improvement in trade, unless the political affairs ot the continent should assume a complexoin which at present is certainly not to be anticipated. Since our last advices, there has been a decline of prices in cetton, and most kinds ot breadatuffs. During the past week, cotton has lost, or nearly 80, the advance of the previous week. The re-ac- tion 18 attributed partly to the accounts of the large receipts into the American ports, and partly, to the increased quantity offering from the recent import, and the desire shewn to realize the profit which present prices aflorded on the bulk of it, for it is not perceived that there is any diminution of con- fidence 1n the general healthy aspect of the trade. The sales for the week ending January 12th, were 28,610 bales. Corn market dull, and prices have declined. The Irish demand for corn meal is nearly suspended, their markets being supplied by direct imports. It seems from our London corresponee, that the California gold excitement was raging in En. gland as well as here. It appears from a Parliamentary return, that the to- has jumped at once to the work, and has put for- ward the name of Mr. Collamer as a fit and proper candidate for the new Cabinet, in the capacity of United States Attorney General. Now, who Mr. ciples which he declares, before their coming to light. Northern newspapers, it appears, have been full of such misstatements, and Mr. Calhoua and his associates have been accused of entertaining, deliberately, the purpose of dissolving the Union, without any justifiable cause—being merely urged to such a purpose by his own exaggerations of Northern ruovements. It .s now evident, however, from the facts as they appear in both of the docu- ments which we now publish—that ot Mr. Calhoun, and that ot ex-Governor Seward—that the allega- tions made by Mr. Calhoun, in his manifesto against the aggressions of the North, are correct in every particular. Read carefully the speech de. livered by Mr. Seward, at Cleveland, in the month of October last, and there will be found a calm and deliberate purpose announced, under the pretence ot humanity, to interfere with those Southern interests which have been guaranteed solemnly by the constitution, and which have been pro- tected under it for the last half century. The allegations made by Mr. Calhoun, that North. ern legislation has violated the federal compact, is completely made out by the declarations and avowed purposes of ex-Governor Seward. In the city of Cleveland, in Ohio, Mr. Seward made those declarations and avowed those purposes which, if carried out to the extent so broadly marked, would at once violate, still further, the constitution of the United States, and above al things, bring about an early and sudden disruption between the North and the South. The advice which he gives to the local legislature of Ohio, re- lative to fugitive slaves, would clearly and empha- tically be, if carried out, an infraction of the con- stitution as it now exists, between the North and the South. The general avowal also made, of ele- vating the colored race to a perfect equality with the whites, over the whole of this confederacy, is the particular feature which distinguishes this re- markable speech of Mr. Seward. Now, with these remarkable and striking docu- ments before us, it 1s perfectly clear that Mr. Cal- houn andthe other Southern members of Con- gress who have issued the Southern manifesto, are perfectly justified under the constitution, in making the declarations which they have mede, and in pointing eut the aggressions which have been attempted by Northern tanatics on Southern rights, in violation of the constitution. We do not wish to enter into any discussion on the ab- stract question of slavery, as applied to the African race. As longas the Union of these States re- mains intact under the present constitution, such & question in relation to the colored population of the South 18 not open for public discussion. The Nortern States, in becoming members of the con" federacy, and parties to that instrument, pledged their faith and their honor to certain conditions in Teierence to a particular class of the population of the Southern States. As long as that constitution exists, those pledges must be adhered to by all public men, in the North as well as the South Those who would get up and make such a gross and open attempt to counsel otherwise, as Mr. Se- ward did at Cleveland and elsewhere, last summer, must be characterized and set down either as dou- ble-taced demagogues of the worst shape, or as de- termined and resolute inthe purpose of bring ng about a epeedy and early disruption of the Unoa between the Northern and Southern States. There 1s no escape from such an alternative. Such 18 the present condition of this very criti eal and very important question between Northern and Southern interests, as well as Northern and Seuthern feelings. It is the first time ia the his tory of this republic, that such a crisis has been produced ,by the agitation of questions in both sections, that can only lead to a violationof the constitution on the one hand, and a complete dis- ruption of the confederacy on the other. What, then, 1s to be done?’ Have Mr. Calhoun and his associates over-estimated the importance of the crisis? Certainly not. The course of Mr. Seward and the faction of abolitionists attached to his fortunes in this and other States, will slowly but surely bring about that catastrophe which all would deplore, if the sober, sensible, and practical people of the North de not at once arouse and act, and put down all those who would couns:l and edviee, as Mr. Seward has done, a gross and violent infraction ot the constitution of the United States. The progress and triumph of such a doubly- faced demagogue would certainly and surely bring about a consum- | mation that would be disastrous to the rapidly growing glory and magnificence of this republic. In every phase of his career, Mr. Seward has shown himeelf to be this kind of a demagogue, He was the first who, in Jeonjunction with his fidus achates, Thurlow Weed, created the anti-mason excitement in the West, and made a simple and solitary murder the cause of an agitation against the jreemasons, until the whole of that sec- tion of the State looked on a purely benevo- lent society, an association, the members of which cou'd cormmit murder with impunity. The same double-faced and dangerous demagogue ex- cited a silly priest in this city to enter the political atena and agitate the echoo! question, until it created such a disturbance emong other religious as Mr. Seward has always | shown himself to be, during his whole career, | Collamer is, the rest of the world is entirely igno- rant of—they might with almost the same propriety have put forward the name of John Smith. Yet» probably Mr. Collamer, as a production of the Green Mountains, may be, for aught we know, an excellent stick of timber, capable of a very fine pelish, and may make a very useful member of the Cabinet at Washington. We doubt, however, whether there 18 yet sufficient growth to be cut down, so that when the branches are lopped off it can be polished up sufficiently, so as to be placed at Washington, in the capacity indicated, after the 4th ef March next. Sreamsuip Hermann.—The Ocean Steam Navi- gation Company’s steamship Hermann is aow jon the sectional dock at the foet of Rutgers st., from which she will be removed to-day at 12 o’clock. Notwithstanding the heavy weather this ship has experienced during the past year, there is not a wrinkle in her copper, nora curve or change 1n herlines. Persons curious to examine the hull of this fine ship, are requested to look at her this morning, before she is launched into her native element. — ga ‘Tue Launcn or THE Sreamsuirs.—The Atlantic will be launched from the yard of Wm.

Police Intelligence. Charge of Fraudulent Assignment.—The case of James FE. H. Wallin. the jeweler, underwent a partial hearing yesterday afternoon, before Justice McGrath, in which Mr. Wallin is alleged to have made @ fraudu- lent aesignment of his property, thereby defrauding his creditors. Mr. Francke, the complainant, under- wenta very long cross.examination from the counsel ofMr Waliin, which examination went conclusively to show that Mr. Francke bad been rather hasty in making his complaint, as, according to his own testi- mony, there was no bill actually due him until the 1st of rpm" 9 One other witness was examined, who endeavored to show that Mr. Wallin tt himself secreted for the purpose of avoiding the process of a civileuit being served upon him, The court adjourned the case over until this day at 11 o'clock. The court room was much crowded with anxious long faced creditors, watching the result of the investigation, backed up with Mr Deputy Sheriff Cornell, who was armed with several Stillwell warrants for the arrest of Mr. Wallin, on the complaint of Smith and KRiat, jewellers, and Platt& Brothers, in Maiden lane. To- day will possibly decide the matter.

The gold excitement here and in London, exceeds any thing ever before known or heard of.

In coming up the channel, she struck on Burbo Bank. and by the time she reached the port, had thirteen feet water in her hold. A great number of vessels, belonging to other ports, were more or lese injur Some fears were enter United Stat ‘tained for the safety of the which left Southampton on Tuesda nd the report, which haa been in cirou- time past, that the Peninsular and Onental Steam Navigation Company had lost the con- tract for carrying the mail between Southampton and Alexandria, is not correct. The part who were said to have obtained the con- tract, baving failed in their ona lations, the contract will be renewed with the Oriental Company, upon the terms which they tendered. The Price paid for the conveyance of the mail once a month, between Southampton and Alexandiia, is the enor- mous sum of £160,000 per annum. The whole amount of revenue derived from mailable matter amounts to £14,426, being £145.564 excess over expenditure, On many of the other routes, the loss susiained 18 much greater; for instance, the price paid for carrying the West Indian and Mexican mails in £240,000 per annum. The amount of postage charge- able vpon matter conveyed, in 1847, amounted to £30,000. The British and North American Royal Mail Steam- ship Company were the applicants for the contract. Having failed in that, it in genezally believed they will have the contract for carrying the West Indian ere i mails, after the expiration of the present contract.

The troops at that station had mutinied, and Major Law- rence, at the imminent danger of his lite, made his escape, and is now at Kohat.

There can be no doubt whatever that the rebellion ‘was of the most extensive character, but as faras we can judge, the insurgent chivfs had organised no com- bined scheme of action, and Lord Gough being now at the seat of action, it seems scarcely possible for Chuttur Singh and his confederates to scooiplish their designs, whatever they may be.

The Attorney General having taken time to consider what course he would pursue, with regard tothe matter, appeared at the Commission Court, but was as ignorant as ever how he was to pursue, and left it to the Court to ad whatever course they chose. Judges Perrin Richards were just as much perplexedjas the law offloers: of the crown; they felt that M Butt, Holmes, ir Coleman O’Loghisn had d in the absease of prece- clear of the many difoulties that beset the case, none could tell.
