Since my last, there has not been anything very material or interesting transpiring in our far-famed and remarkable city, with the exception of the Banging of the man Stuart, of which I give youa perfect account in this letter. Business of all kinds has been excessively dull, although there have been bat very few arrivals; fewer, I think, than at any time forthe last three months; in fact, on some days there has not been a single arrival at this port from any other.

As far as the gold dust eoneerned, I have not the slightest doubt but that the yield of gold from the various mines, by tz and otherwise, will, for the current year, amount to at least $75,000,000.

Our judges are the mere expo- nents of the enactments passed by the Legislature, and tbat Legislature is often swayed by ignoble and ungenerous motives. The complexion assumed by the debates on the | Seigniorial question, illustrates the truth of this ob- | servation. ‘The Seigniories in Lower Canada have been ac- quired by the present owners by purchase, like any other description of real property, and it would be almost impossible to point to a single family whose ancestors acquired their rights from the French crown. The majority of the Seigniories have changed owners within the last twenty years. rights purchased by the Seigniors vary in various Seigniories ; insome of them all the lands were conceded or leased forever at rents equivalent to # per hundred acres, termed cens eo rentes. Io some Seigniories, the cens et ren‘es were higher. In some there were large tracts of unoc- eupied lands which the Seigniors let at sixpence per acre, or retaived for the sales of tim- ber. In all Seigniories, the /ds et rentes exists, in other worde, the right of the Seiguior to one-twelfth of the purchase money at each sale of any of the farms on his eclgoitey, a right possibly eoayens upon the claim of the Crown to one fifth of the purchase-money of each seigniory when sold Thus where a Seignior, some years since, became insol- vent, and bis Seigniory was sold by the Sheriff for $100,000, the Crown claimed aad received one-fifth of the purchase-money, or $20,000. The socialist principles of uneducated Lower Canada, develope themselves in an effort to wrest from the Seigmors their prescriptive rights, de- fraud them of their present incomes, and compel them to accept four coppers per acre for their land at present occupied, and to concede their unoccupied lands to any applicant uyon like terms. The promoters of this fraud have the decency to assume the mask reine orn 4 they desire to disinter the obsolete pts of 1711 and 1736, and infuse them with vitality, after having reposed in abey- ance for half a century ; but those capitalists who traded during the interval, entered the province, and purchased seigniories, may indignantly rebuke so flagrant a violation of public faith. In some cases, the pretext of the arréts above quoted carnot include the seigniors, those for in- stapee who hold direct from the British crowa, under the title known as Ayan aller noble. The Seignior, with his title of Franc aller noble, is free to dispose of his lands, upon his own terms ; and to compel him to accept four coppers per acre, would be nearly equivalent to confiscation. lcontess | disbelieve in the ability of the promo- ters of the Seignorial covfiscation, to realize their u . The late period of the session is unsaited to the discussion of so grave a project; and the Upper Canadians, being disinterested in the result, would, therefore, be inclined to take higher consti- tutional ground, and deprecate a policy so barren of results to them, and so futal to the public credit vf the province. The germ of the final dissolution of the union, or the alternative of a federal union, may lay hid in the future debates, and sectional conflicts, flowing | from the desire of the Lower Canadians to confis- cate the Seigniories, avd that of the Upper Cana- dians, to strip the Church of England of its recto- | ries and resources; though so varied are the phases of buman affairs, that a foul compact, like that of the Roman Triumvirs, may yet be consummated, by the mutual abandonment of principle and jus- tice. 4 The Geneva College Commencement. OUR WATERLOO CORRESPONDENCE. Warer.oo, Augast 22, 1851. During the week just past, Geneva has been the scene of unusual interest and excitement. Com- mencement time, ever a period of festivity and joy, bas, this year, beena season of peculiar interest. On Sunday evening, August 17, Rey. Pers Hall delivered the annual valedictory sermon to the members of the graduating class. The audience | was unusually large, and the diseourse excellent and impressive. On Monday evenixg, the Rev. | Horatio Potter, D. D., of Albany, delivered an ad- | dregs before the Hermean Society, on the “Opinions befitting an educated man” His oration is not | only worthy of publication, but it should be widely circulated, and attentively read Philosophy and sound thought, presented in clear and forcible lan- | guage—strong conservative principles clothed in ex- | quisite imagery and extreme elegance of diction— | jor more than an hour riveted the attention ofa _ large and intelligent audience. i Commencement proper began with the exercises of Tuesday. At 10} A. M_., the procession formed on tne college grounds, and proceeded to Trinity FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Some of the Leading Guests at Newport. (From the Newport News. August 27.) The Ocean House is still full of visitrs, although many of those who have been here for several weeks past, bave left for home during the last few days. Among these are Colonel Munro and family, of itimore; Mr. Bennett and family, of St. Louis; Mrs. Piatt and Mrs. Miss Read, of Cincinnati; | Lynch, of New York, and several others. Mrs viatt is one of the most gifted and accomplished ladies whom I ever met. She is an able writer, and enjoys an enviable reputation as such, particularly at the West; ber let:ers for some time past, from different parts of the country, have been exten- sively copied, and are very popular. She enjoys the warm personal friendship of Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, who regards her as one of the best female writers in the country. Her manners are exceedingly pleasing, and her conversational owers ari as to make her an universal favor- ite wherever she is known. She is very much | missed from the society here, and her place cannot cbureh Arrived at the churcb, the exercizes were | as follow Music — Prayer, Porm—The Martyrs, Lyman Hinsdale Sherwood, yens.

In ease of attitude and gesticulation, and in propriety of enunciation, the class would find few equals. The oration en- titled “The Necessity of the Objective,” was well worthy cf commendation. Seldom, if ever, do we hear, at a commencement, great truths pre- sented in a more masterly and attractive manner. But the valedicsory oration was, in many respec:s, the best of the day. I's compositionevinced classi- eal t and study, and its delivery manifested an ei id self possession which, to the vast audience—who, by their breathless attention, paid mage to the power of true eloquence—were par. ticwarly pleasing After the valedictory, the fol- lowing degrees were conferred:—The degree of F.,in course, upon the members of the gri- duating Class.

[From the National Intelligencer, Aug. a4 _ By a Treas Circular of 12th June, 1351, the ectors of the Customs were instructed, under the provisions of the act of Congress of 36:h Sep- tember, 1850, to admit British vessels coming from the parte of Canada, New Brunswisk, and Nova Scotia, on the same footing, both as to vessels and cargoes, a8 American vessels, in consequence of the latter having been admitted on like terms with British in ports of those colonies. These pri- vileges have since been extended to British vessels coming from the Bring of Prince Edward [sland, in consequence of the following proclamation by the Governor of that Colony, which has been offi- cially communicated to the Department of State by the British Minister:— PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

Fitch died at the Hospital of the Sisters of Charity this morning about three o'clock, aged forty-three years. Mr. Fitch was imprisoned in this city on the 19th of April last, and has been under confinement ever since, charged with bein; one of the leaders among the persons now on tria! in this city, in the ‘Railroad Conspiracy Case.” Living in ‘easy circumstances, if not in luxury, be- fore his imprisonment, the confinement and nauseous atmosphere of the jail engendered the disease, and he was attacked with dysentery, ina virulent forn, on the 16th instant, previous to the last adjourn- ment ofthe court. On Friday last—his recovery, in the jail, being dispaired of—he was removed to the Hospital of the Sisters ofjCharity, where he was kindly attended to by the Sisters, and, a part of the time, by bis wife, and died as stated above. At 3 o'clock, P. M. remarang, Mr. Fitch became conscious that he could not live, and talked calmly and firmly of his approaching death. He desired that Mr. Frisk might be sent for, to consult about his worldly matters. Prosecuting Attorney Stew- ait, and Doctors Rice and Pitcher, arrived about 10 o'clock. An examination snd consultation was had, and the opinion expressed that he could not survive the night Mr. S. went to the bedside of the dyirg man, when he (F.) inquired, ‘What is to be done now?” and said, “I shall di martyr to liberty.” Soon after he remarked, that he put his tiust in God, and desired that he might be bap- tired. He received the solemn rite at the hand of one of the Sisters of Charity; and whilst in the midst of the protege committing his soul to his God, he declared his entire innocence of the crimes of which he was charged—said he had never violated the laws of his courtry—that he had sim- ply expreseed his opinio: 8 be supposed he hada right to do, and though: it not just tuat he should be punished. Mr. Fitch then called his wife to him, bid her good by, saying, *Farewell!—it is hard to part with the only being [ ever loved ;” and then bid- ding adieu to other friends around him, closed his a for a moment. Recovering again, he ex- claimed, * There is r, dear little Amanda—I had nearly forgotten remember me to her. I dread to die with this charge resting upon me. Will not the truth some out and my character be vindicated! Being assured by Mr. I’rink that his character should bo vindicated, be expressed bim- self prepared to die; and tiking the hand of his wife, and pressing it to bis lips, he said, ** Amanda, it is hard to part—I die of a broken heart!” and fell back, asleep in death. William M. Guon, another of the prisoners on = the ** Railroad Conspiracy case,” died yes erday. Straxor Invatvation—Manniace or a Wi Woman writ an Lypia: v L — Our villege bas been in a state of ferment for a few days past, in conse yuence of a recent affair of love, romance and matrimony, the prominent actor—or rather actress—in which is not unknown in this vi- cinity. We have not room for a detailed history | of the matter, but give the prominent facts as they | were related to us aneye and ear witness. Dr. Okeah Tubbee, chief in the Choctaw Nation of [n- dians, in Arkaneas, is a distinguished perform r on the flute, and bas been giving musical entertain- ments in this sec:ion of country for some time past. He is thoroughly educated, is the master of seven- teen different languages, 1 plays on over one hundred different kinds of musical instruments. A few days since a lady of respectable connections siding in this place, stepped on board the packe it this village, with the intent‘on of visiting friends two or three miles up the canal. On entering the cabin she met Dr but bad never before seen Fond of music, aad having heard of the Choctaw’s remarkable mances on the flute, she ventured to ask him to play. The Indian complied and the lady was charmed with bis music. She conversed #ith him, and was more delighted with the music of his words than with the eilver notes of his famous flute. | ‘The beat arrived at the port where she was to meet her friends, hut she eoncluded not to leave; before their meeting had been prolonged to hour, their mutual esteem had been ripene tuch amazing rapidity, that the lady, now ful 4 4 given over tothe fates, declared ia the most pas | tio language that she loved the chief with an unsonquerable fondrese, and gave proof of ber sincerity with » flood of tears.

The truth is, we are con- vinced that the people everywhere (except the abolition ists) love him and esteem as just the man for the times—a genuine patriot. true friend tothe Ame- rican Union.

Such are the honest convictions of scores of democrats; and upon such convictions would they act in the next Presidential election, were they to disregard the applicae tion of the party screws and the efforts that will be made to lash them into ranks by their party leaders. Our citizens, we think, may promise themselves a visit from the President, oa his return He had not been, as yet. informed of the invitation to visit Rockbridge, to be formally tendered to him by the commi:tee of invitation appointed for that purpose by the citizens of our county, but expressed a great desire to do so, and, unless pre- vented by an urgent call to return to Washington, on public business, will. on returning. in ten days or two Weeks, certainly visit the Nutural Bridge and Lexington. We congratulate our citizens upon the probability of soon having an opportunity of manifesting that almost unanimous sentiment of approbation for the course of President Fillmore’s administration, and its agency in the preservation of our sacred Union, which we know prevails throughout this entire section of country. i Horrible Outrage by a Negro. [Correspondence of the Albany Argus.) Unster Viiace, August 25.-Our quiet village was thrown into great confusion, yesterday (Sunday) after- noon, in consequence of a report that a most brutal as- sault had been committed on the person of Mrs. Jacob N.

The facts of the case proved to be of avery rerious and outrage- ous character, viz : about one o’clock on Sabbath after- noop, Mrs Heermans left her home, on foot, to attend church in a neighboring school house, about a mile and a half from her residence While on her way, the was met by a negro demon, bearing the name ~Ben Bronk;” as be approached her he said, “Now, damo you, L have you.” end instantly felled her to the ground With his fist, jumped upon her witn both feet several times, and kicked ber, after which he dragged her from the road into the woods and endeavored to violate her person; but the old lady fought every inch of ground as long as the was sensible, but, overcome by exer- tion and Ites of blood, was overpowered by the vil- lain, apd cannot ray what foliowed up to the time she was found; he finally dragged her some fifty yards into a swamp. and left her dead, as he supposed, and made bis way to this village A neighboring lady, also on her way to church, heard screams several times. and on hir way found the shawl and gloves of Mra.
