Mr, Calhoun in the Ficld—His Address to the South, By a private telegraphic despatch which we re- ecived last evening frem the South, we learn that ‘Mr. Calhoun issued, a few days ago, along and important address to the Southern States, in the present crisis which has been precipitated upon | them by the recent movements of Mr. Benton, Mr. Van Buren, and other democratic leaders, North and West, growing out of the free soil agitation | througheut the country. The publication of this | address commenced a few days age, in the Pendle- ton Messenger; and by private express arrange- ments, we expect to receive a copy of it to-day or | ‘to-morrow in advance, thus,enabling us to lay this most important document before the whole coun- try—a document and a movement which, coupled | with other matters and other issues, will create a greater excitement in the United States for the next ten years than all that we have seen growing out of Texas annexation and the Wilmot proviso, We learn, by our despatch, that this important paper will occupy four or five columns of the Herald, and that it will not reply to or touch any of the per- sonal matter introduced by Mr. Benton and others into this controversy. Mr. Calhoun, it seems, rises | above all personal motives and all personal resent- ments. He presents to the view of the Southern States, and the whole Union, the grand question which now distracts the country, in connection with the agitation of the Wilmot proviso—the nights of the South, and the prospects of the future. It is believed, by the most prophetic minds of the South, that public opinion in the North and West, on the subject of slave- ry, 1s assuming a direction similar to that which agitated England for many years previous to the abolition of West India slavery, and the utter ruin of those colonies of that government. It 18 feared that the present agitation of the slavery question, in all its length and breadth, as recently developed in the North and West, will gradually produce a state of things calculated ultimately to have a similar effect in the Southern States, in re- Jation to the free States, as that which has been produced in the British West India possessions in relation to the British island. The introduction, ‘too, at this moment, of a new and absorbing ques- tion—the annexation of Canada—is only calculated | to increase this excitement; to embarrass still more the different sections of the country ; and to augment to an extraordinary extent the anti-sla- very feeling of the North. The annexation to this Union of five or six new Northern States, such as the British North American colonies would fur- nish, with their violent anti-slavery propensities, will, of necessity, mtroduce a new and most ab- sorbing clement into the political contests of this eountry, particularly as the public mind has been | inaculated with the views of the Wilmot proviso. The addition of the British North American eolonies, with the new States carved out of the | immense western territories of the Union, admit- ted on the Wilmot proviso principle, would at once disturb the balance which produced the present eonstitution of the United States, and might lead 1@ such a change in that instrument as might ulti- | mately drive off the Southern States, or reduce them to the same condition as that into which the ‘There is nothing afloat in the atmosphere of poli- ties that could prevent such a result, other than the probability of the balance being still preserved by the annexation of Cuba and the rest of Mexico at the same time, on the principles of the Southem | social system. Perhaps—who knows t—it may be the view and pelicy of the British government to throw the question of the annexation of the Ca- nadas into the political agitations of the United States, so as to give this great and growing repub- lean power something to quarrel and fight about at home, in orderto prevent ue from taking part an the affairs of Europe, or aiding and assisting in the regeneration of the corrupt and oppressive systems of government which prevail om the other side of the Atlantic. We are on the eve of great events. In thisage of revolution and convulsion, we may not altoge- | ther escape. A domestic question of great impor- tance—of the most disturbing character—involv- ing the nicest and most delicate considerations and interests, agitates us. The South is waking ep in defence of its social rights and social existence + and, to crown the whole, the annexation of Cana- da, with all the fresh augmentation of anti-slavery feeling which that would bring, is beginning to be seized upon by some of our leading political men, and is regarded as almost a settled thing in the policy of the people of the British colonies and the British government itself. At such a crisis, the address of Mr. Calhoun must possess cor ling interest at home and abroad Tue Cuotera axp Tee Mepican Actnorrries.— No report yet, from the ical authorities, on the eholera—not a word. Are they quacks, or are they men of science? Why not epeuk out? Why not tell us the nature of the cases and the treatment pursued? Why are they dumb? Are they afraid to speak out? Why are not the physicians in pri- vate practice required to detail the treatment to which they subjected those who have died? All sorts of vague and egitating reports are abroad. Thus, Mr. Vache, the actor, is said to have ¢ cholera. He died of a bile ttack, to whieh he hed been eubject. Who t ed him? What was | the treatment? Who reported him as a victim to the cholera?) Mr. Graham, the publisher of a weekly paper, is also said to have died of the cho- f lera. Is it 201? Who reported hig ense? What was the treatment? Who treats the cases at the Lunatic Asylum?

Our trade and commercial relations in that quar- ter ef the world have been steadily increasing for the last fifty years; and from the character which | our traders have established for honesty, and promptness in all their relations, it is plain to see | thata stil larger share of this profitable business must eventually come into our possession. At no time has this trade received that attention from our government that its importance entitled it to. The thousand taxations it is forced to encounter on the ground of national prejudice, in the form partial and onerous quarantines, particularly in Gibraltar and the ports of Spain, and in the ab- sence of an efficient naval representation, would have been sufficient, with almost any people of less energy than our own, to have rendered it scarcely | cases where vessels coming from Boston and New York, with clean bills of health, have been compelled by the Board of Quarantine of Gi- braltar to seek a foul lazarette at Marseilles, when the object for this additional labor and ex- pense was ascertained to be ah act of favoritism to some merchants in the garrison, who had vess Is | in port with like cargoes of goods, which it was their interest to have first disposed of. Innumer- able instances of like oppression have been the | subject of communication to our goverament—the passing of notes between our representatives and | foreign powers—but at no time has restitution been made, or the abuses discontinued. With the very limited power possessed by our Consuls, and the marked indifference to their complaints, as shown by our own government, the means for our effecting a favorable change, by the agent, have been few, and wholly inefficient. Tnere are two causes which have hitherto contributed to the continuance of this abuse. The first is the total | indifference of the government to our foreign in- | terest; and secondly, the abeenoe of an available naval force, without which no trade for any period _ of time can hope to support itself. The force designed for the Mediterranean can be made to answer many valuable ends, by a pro- | perand judicious disposition of the same. The practice of sailing the Mediterranean in squadrons or fleets, should be discontinued, and a cruising ground appointed for each vessel, and the amount of duty clearly specified. This would aflord to our shipping interest a proper and efficient protection, either against port exac- tions or piracy, which at all times existe in the Mediterranean, but which would be | increased by a general war in Europe. At all | times it 1s important that a judicious person should | be selected as commander for either a squadron or fleet ; but at so critical a period as the present, the government, in the exercise of this power, cannot observe too great a caution. Nice points of inter- national law, requiring keen perception, ability, caution, and firmness, may arise in the disputes and changes daily occurring between the govern. ments of Europe, in which a commander of out squadron may be called upon to decide. A false step may involve this country, if not in war, at least in an unprofitable controversy, and wholly destroy the efficiency of our squadron in those seas. It is but just to presume, that in the selection of Commodore Morgan to this important post, the government at Washington could not have been apprised of this officer’s total unfitness for so dis- tinguished and responsible a station. It is also presumed that the controversy in which Commo- dore Morgan was engaged with his officers during his last command, and the unhappy results attend- ing the same, reflecting so deeply on the Ameri- can character, could not have been examined into, or their particulars known to the proper authorities at Washington. An examination of these papers would show a laxity of discipline un- | known before in this country, an absence in the person of Commodore Morgan of becoming cour- teey and respect, of excessive haughtiness of man- ner, and of unofficerlike conduct. These are not traits of character calculated to advance our inte- rests at this moment at home or abroad; but yet they are the properties belonging to the command- er now in charge of the Mediterranean squadron. | We have no interest in this matter, beyond the public good, and it gives us no pleasure to speak thus of an American officer. The high-haaded | authority assumed by Commodore Morgan, in ‘ | stripping Captain Tatnall of his command, and de- British West India colonies have been plunged. | | patching him to the United States, without cause, but simply to gratify a personal feeling, was a dangerous stretch of power During the season that the squadron was at Mahon, itis well kaown that the Commodore seldom, if ever, visited his ships, or permitted of any verbal intercourse be- tween himself and Captain, now Commodore, Geisinger, or Tatnall. He toak up his quarters on | thore, giving balls and dinnews to the residents ot the place, but excluded from these entertainments a majority of his own officers, with whom he It ia not very have found ready imitators—that the squad- ron should have been left without officers or men, at times, for necessary protection, or that general insubordination should have followed, as a conse- quence. We speak advisedly upon this subject, when we assert thot the want of a wholesome dis- cipline inflamed the passions of the people of Ma- hon to such an extent, that two or three of our sai- lors were butchered in 9 street fight, and the re- mainder forced to seek safety by a timely flight to their boats. Between the people of Mahon and Americans the most kindly fee , vntil chia fatal affray, hu to wn extent were their p s aroused, that Commodore Morgan decined it expedient to put tosea. Should he de- cite upon pursuing the same policy during his pre- vent command in the Mediterranean, it will be a fair inference that no material benefit will be de- nived from it, either to the country er our commer- cial interests. The injurious effects of this com- mand were more than removed by the conduct of Commodore Smith, who succeeded to the Medi- terranean station. Every port was visited by his ships, business was promptly attended to, and the utmost harmony existed between himvelf and all of his officers, throughout the whole cruise. Why was not this officer, or Commodore Stewart, en- trusted with this important command ? If efficiency is the object of the government in this expedition, it might be well for it to think how far that end ts likely to be attained by the appoint- ment of Commodere Morgan. Averntan Misston To Amenica.—We learn that the Austrian government have sent a distinguished mechanic to this country, to inspect our steam- ships, naval depots, and machine shops—to collect drawings of locomotives, steam preases, &c., &c. ‘This is the third foreign mission of the kind that has visited this country within the last tea or twelve years. The first mission was from Russia, and resulted in the construction of the eplendid steamship Kamechatkha. That mission was com- posed of three experienced naval officers. ‘The second was from Bravil; and the third is the above from Austria. We can furnish the governments of Europe with models and plans in abundance. Ina few months our ship builders and machine imakers will turn out a few steamships that will probably astonish | them From St. Domixeo Crry.— We learn from Capt Thompson, of the brig L. & W.

Tut New Yorx Custom Houss—Pavrenism, Prery, anv a Protective Tartrr.—We have been no inattentive observers of the course of events under the new régime at our Custom House, It has afforded us no little amusement. The new Collector is a gentleman with whose character and caliber we were not altogether unacquainted. We had opportumities of studying him some years ago. His appearance on a new field of action agreeably excited our curiosity. Ie has already given quite significant indications of the policy which he means to adopt in this new vocation. Independent of the personal and philosophical interest thus ex- cited by the movements of the new Collector of this port, no little importance attaches to his official course, in a political point of view. The collector ot New York is quite an influential political per- Sonage. He isa sort of fugleman, or factotum, or vicar-gereral of the dominant party in the State. Mighty interests are consigned to his guardianship and care. Hence the great importance with which all the acts of this officer of the government are worth the trouble of prosecuting. We know of | invested ; and hence the propriety and necessity of subjecting his policy to the wholesome test of a rigid and impartial analysis. Now, the new Collector, Mr. Maxwell, has by no means left us in the dark with regard to the leading principles which are to regulate him in the administration of his office. He has entered on the performance of his work with a great deal of vigor. He has made a great number of removals. In the pathetic language of Father Ritchie, he has employed the ‘‘axe,” the “ guillotine,” and all the other awful instruments of political decapita- tion, with a heroic determination which fhas been deaf to all entreaty. In the business of appoint- ments, he seems to have adopted several cardinal and leading principles, which itis now our purpose briefly to examine. In the first place, Mr. Maxwell has recognised pauperism as presenting one of the strongest possi- | ble claims to an appointment in the custom house. The recognition of this great principle does honor to his head and heart. He thus discovers an intel- ligent and accurate conception of the character ot the great public institution with whose superin- tendence and management he has been entrusted for the next four years—always supposing that the Senate of the United States have sufficient patri, otiem to confirm his appointment. No one can be, at this late day, so ignorant of the working of our political system, as to be uninformed with regard to the eleemosynary character of the’custom houses of this land. We are glad, then, that Mr. Max- well has displayed a due appreciation of the benevolent purposes to which those establish- ments can, and, of course, ought to be, devoted, With all that philanthropy which beams in his countenance, he has dispensed the good things of the Custom House to the poor and needy. Notin vain have the hungry, and the ragged, and the thirsty, and the shivering, and the dejected, and the despairing, and the despised and rejected of hard-hearted whig relatives and whig friends knocked at the door of this compassionate almoner of the public bounty. Pauperism, then, has very probably been recognised by Mr. Maxwell as fur- nishing a just and legitimate ground of appoint- mentto office. But there is another general] qualification in can- didates for office in the Custom House, which has met with special favor, and that 1s piety—Presby- terran piety—piety of the good old stamp—piety dyed in the woel—piety which swallows the entire Calvinistic creed without winking, and bolts the whole Westminster Cenfession of Faith, as a gourmand bolts a Shrewsbury in the tail end ot the pleasant month of September. This is decidedly a new phase in politics. Thus, sainted bankrupts have obtained snug places in this terrestrial para- dice. Thus personages of distinguished piety have been retained—personages whose picty is “known and read of all men,” in the pious regions and places of resort which surround the Custom Heuse. Thus, the profane and unbelieving have been turned out, lest their contaminating presence might infect the pure atmosphere of that pious building. Last of all, the grand element of devotion to a protective tariff has been udopted as a cardinal prin- ciple of action by our new Collector. The new ap- praisers have been carefully selected with a view to their opinions on the immortal principle of protec- tion. Two of them were appraisers under the ad- ministration which came into power with Harrison; and, after a long and patient adherence to the ultra faith of that day, now find themselves in posses" sion of their reward. Thus, then, stand clearly re- vealed the governing attributes of the new régime capitation has ceased. Butin a few days—about the fifteenth of this month—another batch of re- | movals willbe made. Candidates for office can | regulate themsely ccording to the official pro- gramme. None but paupers, pious rascals, and protective men need apply. | Tue Finewen or New Yor. —There ie no fea- | ture in this “Empire City” of the United States a stranger is more struck with, than its system of | firemen; there is nothing in it for which he feels a stronger admiration. | The idea of men werking and daring as they do, without fee or reward, ina country considered ia the old world the most selfish of nations, never en- tered into his head. ‘The first time, therefore, that he sees a great fire in New York, his astonishment 18 unbounded, as he witnesses their incredible ex- | ertions and devoted heroism; nor is his wonder di- minished when he sees the matchless tact and skill with which they achieve @ victory under the most | desperate circumstances. ; | Ithas been often a matter of discussion whether | the office of a fireman or of a soldier is the more | eligible choice for a citizen. While this is a ques- | tion that must always be determined by individual | taste, and each man will follow his own instincts, we may be permitted, without any disparagement of our citizen soldiers, to express our honest opinion that the fireman occupies by far the higher and the prouder position. Blessed as this country now is—with internal concord,and external peace with all the world—the | duties of the militia are, like angels’ visits, “ few | and far between.” What is the fact with regard to the fireman? There is no day nor night that he | can caleulate upon exemption from duty of the se- verest kind—duty that may cost him his life or limb. He never can promise himself one night's | uninterrupted repose, At all hours, in every kind of weather—whether it rains, hails, or snows— whether it is the “noon of night” or broad day, he | must be ready at the sound of the alarm. Nay, it is bie delight to anticipate it, if he can. Often have we seen the brave young fellows of these fire companies, when they heard the first stroke of the bell, spring to their feet and rush to the scene of destruction, as if they were seized with sudden madness. Often are they found at the fire its depths the blood of the coldest nature to see perhaps under a broiling noonday's sun, perhaps at dead of night in the winter solstice, as if their very lives depended on the issue. thought, while New York has such men, she might defy the world in arme. [tis “of such stuff heroes are made.” The word soldier stands asa synonyme among nations, for all that is heroie—to our thinking, the fireman of New York is the bravest of mortals. Five hundred such fellows are worth five thousand ordinary men. Their entha- siasm, their courage and impetuoesity, would be equally irrestable in the sanguinary charge as in “the imminent deadly breach.” field, equal to the traiming of the fire companies,for produeing invincible troeps.

The man who | fire is pot likely to be a laggard in to-morrow tothe fire companies to defend their islend home against a foreign invader, it would be seen what prodigies of valor they would accomplish. ‘Who can tell how far the fire compames of New York, by their example, by the public spirit and patriotism which they foster and make “racy of the soil,” and by the presence of their members among the New York volunteers, contributed to the eplendid victories in the Mexican war—victo- ries which have been the admiration of all nations, and are the glory of our own’? Certain it 1s that some of the most important of these battles were won, at least as much by the enthusiasm and bravery of the men, as by the wisdom and skill of their commanders. Again, it is the business of the professioral sol- dier to destroy life and property, as well as to save ; and evil is necessarily mixed up with the good he achieves. The proper sphere of the fire- man is one of pure, unmixed salvation, Every fellow citizen feels that he may be indebted to him one day, for the safety of his property, and it may be his life. Thousands feel grateful to the fire companies for past services—all feel proud of them. In other countries, firemen are paid for their toil, and very lazily do they perform their task. Here, it is the proudest feather in the cap of the fireman that they work con amore—work for nothing —vie with each other to see who will be foremost atthe work, and who will do most to rescue his neighbor’s house from the devouring flames. Nor are they discouraged by false alarms. After being disappointed by stupidity or malice, they are as prompt as ever, when the tocsin again sounds the notes of danger ; and they never fail to respond with alacrity to the call of duty. Ne city in the world holds a finer set of fellows than the firemen who constitute the young blood of New York. “Laver rrom Rio Jangino.—We are in receipt of files of the Jornal do Commercio to the 26th May, two days later than previous accounts. The American steamer Santa Cruz, which left Rio for California on the 21st, foundered at 2A. M. on the 22d, when nine leagues distant from Marambia. It seems that she had met with very heavy weather, sprung a leak, and went down so quick that the crew had scarcely time to get out the boats. All hands were saved, and arrived at Mangaratiba on the afternoon of the same day. We find no other news in these papers. Mats ror Evrore—Tue Wasnrneron.—I[t was stated yesterday that the steamship Washington would leave this port for Southampten and Bremen to-day. This is a mistake; she will notsail until the 20th inst., or Friday of next week, her regular day. Arras at Hayt1.—The Boston Traveller of the 1th inst. gives the following explanation of the affair at Port au Prince, to which we referred afew dayssince :— We learn that, on the arrival of the schooner Mary Chilton at Port au Prince, her consignees refused to sell the cargo at the monopoly rates, unless the government would furnish payment in | coffee at the government Ee This was refuzed, as coffee was not to be had, and yet the sale of ods was demanded at rates which would occa- loss of more than fitty per cent to the owners. The eonsignees still refusing to sell, a detachment of the police was sent, a small quantity of fish, mackerel, &c., was taken, for | which the monopoly rates were tendered 1n cash. The money was refused, and recourse was had to Com. Parker, of the frigate Raritan, then in the harbor of Port au Prince. The commodore, how- | ever, refused to interfere, advising the consignees to conform to the law, at whatever sacrifice. This they were willing todo, if the goverament would perform their part of the law, which was to fur- nish coffee a ; and if this could not be done, they demande: free sale of the is, for most they could obtain, as the only just mode oi proceeding. Com. Parker, however, still refused even to second the claims of the consignees b: | remonstrance with the government, but referre | them to the act commercial agent, who was,a Haytien, and flor Havana. | In these circumstances, the co ees made personal rig mcm to President Soulouque, who, full hearing, had the magnanimity to say it ne-sided affair and manifestly unjust, and gave orders that the eale should be free, as the only equivalent that could be made under the cir- | cumstances. The cargo was then sold at tair rates, and the consignees take their chance of investment. | _ Itis gratifying to know that George P.

OOO TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE, ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. STEAMSHIP NIAGARA AT HALIFAX. Sr. Jouns, N.B., July 18-1 A.M. The steamship Niagara, Capt. Ryrie, with 89 passengers, and intelligence one week later from all parts of Europe, arrived at Halifax at an early hour yesterday morning, and vas expected to leave for New York at nine o’clock. She will be due at her wharf at a late hour on Saturday, P. M. ‘The Niagara experienced a succession of heavy gales from the west, and south-west during the whole passage. Her freight list showes £8,000 in specie. ‘The Niagara, as we learn from one of the officers, exchanged signals with a large steamer, supposed to be the Europa, off Holyhead, at midaight, on the 20th ult. The cities of Liverpool and Havre are to be con- nected by a line of first class steamers, under the direction of Mr. Mclver, the agent of the Cunard steamers. In Parliament the bill for the removal of the Jewish disabilities has been rejected, in the upper house, by a majority of 25, the Minister not ventu, ring to call for the proxies. Baron Rothschild having been rejected by the city of London, has already accepted the Chilton Hundreds, and made an appeal to the electors. His election 1s considered certain. The House of Commons has affirmed the second reading of the marriage bill, which is to render valid marriages with the sisters of deceased wives. The affirmation bill, which has recently com- pleted its passage through the Commons, has been rejected in the House of Lords, by a large ma- jority. The Smith O’Brien transportation bill is now an act of Parliament, but it is said to contain a fatal blunder, and it is supposed the approaching visit of Her Majesty to Ireland will be signalizetl by ex- tending her royal pordon to the Insh State Pri- soners. Advices from Paris to Tuesday evening state that the city was perfectly tranquil, and business on the Bourse was steady, and prices have an up. ward tendency. Five per Cents closed at 80 francs 25 centimes. In the course of the debate in the Assembly, on foreign affairs, the minister declared, that there was no danger of war. M. de Tocqueville said, that after having more carefully considered the subject, he had been unable to discover the slightest trace of that new hobby, called “alliance,” of which henorable members had expressed such jealousy. In the course of his speech, M. de Tocqueville talked of the “frankness of the Russian govern- ment,” an expression that was received with shouts of derision and laughter. During the debate, Gen. Cavaignac made a most important speech which may be considered as the resumé of the principle of that section of the re- publican party, which, while it desires peace, is prepared for war ; which, while it supports order insists on progress. ‘The new law against clubs, has been already put in force. On Monday, the ministry introduced into the As- sembly a bill for regulafing the press. M. Odillon Barrot stated that it was intended merely as a tem- porary measure, to regulate the position of the press, until the organic law on the subject should be passed. ‘The new law is nearly the same as the law of Lovis Philippe, and powers are given for the temporary supervision of every journal at- tacking the constitution, or making an appeal to | arms. The number of persons arrested in Lyons, as implicated in the late attempted insurrection, said to amount to over two hundred. The bickerings which have been carried on between the President and the Ministry, is rapid- | ly opproaching an issue, which, it is supposed, will lead to the certain retirement of some the leading members of the cabiaet. The prin- cipal cause of discord is the anomalous fratricidal | policy in Italy. After a severe bombardment, three squadrons of the French Army succeeded in establishing them- selves within the outer walls of Rome, early on the 22d ult. They have since been occupied with operations for acquiring possession of the outer bastions anddefencs, but up to the 23d and 24th, they had not made much progress. Every inch of ground was stoutly defended by Giribaldi, who | still continues. Commercial Summary. Liverroot, June 30.—The operations of the past | week have been bouyant and firm, with an impor- | tant extention of business transactions in almost every branch of trade; independently of the in- creased vitality observable in our corn and cotton markets, the accounts from the manufacturing dis- | triets are cheering. and gave good prospects of more vigorous activity. ‘The national securities have been firm throughoat the week, but the funds were somewhat duller yesterday, in consequence of an excess of stock being thrown upon the market for immediate trans- fer, as well as of the continuedg misunderstand- ing between the President of France and his ministers. Consols which opened at 92) a 924, re- ceded to 912 a 914. The London money market is remarkably easy, and discounts for respectable paper are easily obtained; the stock of bullion in the Bank of Englund, is now about £15, | 000,000 sterling. There has been a good deal of business transacted in American stocks this week. United States Six Per Cents are quoted at 109a 1094, ex div.; New Yagk Fives 9 a 96; Pennsylva- Massachusetts Fives 103 a 104. Advices from Caleotta to the Sth, and from Bom- | bay to the 2ist of May, have been received, and are satisfactory in the extreme. The country is re- stored to perfect quiet, and the commercial reports state that at the close of the business season, only small stocks of goods were left at Bombay, and in the interior morkets.
