From the very tect of these suppositions the government of the Em- peror felt the necessity of ascertaining how far they might be well founded. © The Minister at Washington was consequently charged to call the attention of the Ame: can Cabinet to the reports in clreulation.

FOURTH DAY. FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. Cuaruestoy, April 13, 1854. The Convention and the New York Press—Discussion on River and Harbor Improvements—Should Congress be “Memorialised for the Acquisition of Ouba, de., déc., dc. ‘The convention assembled at nine o'clock this morning and commenced its proceedings with a debate on the fol- lowing resolution, which was presented yesterday by Mr. Parham, of Tennessee, and adopted:— Resolved, That the re] New York ine, and New York Ezpresé, now in attend- ance on this convention, be elected honorary members, and entitled to participate with us in the hospitalities tendered to regular delegates. As there appeared to be considerable feeling among some of the delegates in relation to this resolution, and 4s some thought the convention had gone out of ita pro- per sphere in adopting it, MF. Whittle, of Georgia, offered another to the effect that it be rescinded. Col. Hooks expressed himself in favor of admitting all the reporters as honorary members, with the exception of the New York Tribune; and offered an amendment ex- cluding the represéntative of that paper. This brought Mr. Marshall, of Mississippi, (the gentle- man who believes the Czar is the greatest philanthropist in the world,) to his feet. He took the part of that paper, although he desired it to be understood that he did not agree with it in many of its principles. He denounced its fanatical abolitionism, but believed that, instead of injur- ing the cause or interests of the South, it rather did them good. Every man knows, hs continued, that our enemies are often of more service to us than otherwise, even when they desire most to harm us. He for one did not fear these abolitionists, and he did not desire to exclude them from any privileges. A short time since he had oecasion to visit New England, and as it was known that he was a Southern man, crowds of abolitionists flocked around him. He spoke to them about the institutions of the South, and offered to bring a whole cargo of them to Mis- sissippi that they might know the Southern people bet- ter. He promised them that they would not be insulted, put that they would be treated with the utmost kindness and courtesy. This he did to satisfy them that the ex” perience and knowledge which they would obtain in regard to the South would correct many grievous mistakes into which they had fallen about slavery. He would like to know who Horace Greeley is, and what was the character of the Tribune, that the convention should take any notice of either, or rebuke the editor of that paper. He felt that they were doing themselves great injustice in waging their time in this manner. It was but natural to expect that the South would be abused by such people. What men are they will con- tinue to be to the end of time, and he believed that, a tuated by the motives which should govern gentlemen, the convention should take no notice whatever of this matter. . €. C. Cray, of Alabama, thought that reporters should be allowed to have all’ the privileges necessary wherever they might be, or whatever the character of the paper to which they were attached to report the pro- ceedings, although he was opposed to their being admit- ted as delegates. If this precedent were once established, the North would be entitled to a representation there, and might finally outvote them. The objects of the con- vention, it was well known, are antagonistic to the in- terests of the Northern States, and such a course would be suicidal to the rights and interests of the South. Ex-Governor Joxm, of Tenn., said that although he did not agree with the New York Heratp in some of its doctrines, yet he regarded it as the main pillar of the institutions of the South, and believed it was always true to Southern interests. He was in faver of the resolution of Mr. Parham, who, he believed, was actuated only by motives of courtesy to the gentlemen of the presa,there resent. Pir, Carr, of Mississippi, expressed his belief that the New York 7ribune was the Ismaelite of the press—its hand was raised against every man, and every man’s it. He was willing that a resolution should itting all the members of the press to every fa- cility as reporters, but not as delegates. . Col. ep east La., pressed his amendment. He was posed to allowing men a seat in the convention who entered it with a pen in one hand and a torch in the other. The resolution of Mr. Whittle was finally ado the reporters were accordingly deposed from tl , and ir posi- Lieut. Maury then moved that the convention take up the report of the Business Committee aud proceed to ite consideration. The motion was adopted, and the resolutions were read by the Secretary, and amended as follows:— Resolved, That whilst agriculture is, and properly should be,'the predominant pursuit of the people of the States represented in this convention, the interosts of these States would be very greatly promoted by the employment of capital in other pursuits, and especiall; facture | ‘mining; that the abun istance, | tion as honorary members of the convention. ro} cost of transportin, cover the expense of manufactari investment, for security, for certainty of inedme, the factory and the perioi v monopo! h of cotton; that it this staple a! mines in the States represented in this body; the amount of capital invested in the several establishments; the amount of income and disbursements; the number of hands (operat. ‘he amount of the raw mate- ather items of information, tending dition and extent of our manufacturing int said committee furnish to the Secretary of the convention & ations to be Inid by him before the noxt ion;and that it b eo urge the importance of thereof in favor of education, of m: to pbuilding, of direct trade, and of mini that'is be the duty of said committee to colleet sent at the next meeting ofthe convention statis relating to the imternati heir industri 1 Sti their mai their cost, and t value which has been imparted to lands and other thi ereased Property in consequence of sueh improvements.

And also to encourage the establishmont of s direot mail route by steamers between somo Southerm port and UFO. 6. Upon the improvement of harbors and navigable rivers, ‘The first proposition on the remission of duties led to a spirited debate. Col. PoLk, of Tennessee, said he was un- willing that this convention, as a commereial body, should interfere with or take any action upon political He, for one, could no’ ree to consider it here, and he would therefore oppose the appointment of the committee unless the first proposition was rescinded. ‘There is, he continued, if my apprehension served me right, an insidious purpose in it. When anything of that kind is sought to be accomplished by gentlemen here, it should bear upon its face its true meaning and purport. I would like, said he, in all cases affecting questions that have divided the best men in the country, and who wgre engaged in the national councils, that those questions should be presented publicly and not ina body of the peculiar nature of thisconvention. Don't make me bok ai to a principle that my judgment has taught me tocondemn. {If Mr. Maury intends to say that the government of the United States has the constitu. tional power to improve harbors and rivers, lot him have the manliness to ny 80. Lieut. Macry—I intend to say so at the proper time, when we eome to the consideration of the sixth proposi- tion. (Laughter and soph Mr. Lyons, of Va., considered this course was wrong in principle. He didnot think it right to ask Congress to interfere in such matters, as the convention, by doing so departed from ee ae for which it was organized. ir. Waitace, of Va., also opposed the-proposition. There was already a Southern delegation in Congress, who were attending to their interests, and who would, when the occasion demanded it, maintain their rights mers up the Ama- ributarien of that vor of striking out the whole resolution. Lieut. Mavry said it was with great relactance that ho rose to speak to the convention upon a matter on which so much time had been already consumed; but as the ‘amendment brought up the whole subject, he considered this the proper time to express his views and those of the Business Committee upon it. And first, he continued, we come to the subject of the remission of duties upon railroad iron—a question which might well be sup- pored was earnestly discussed before its adop- jon in the committee. We shouli recollect, that if there is any one subject at all in which the whole people of these United Statos are deeply concerned, it in in the transportation of goods over railroads, and as & means cheap railroad iron and cheap railroads are im- portant clements. It is for this reason that I view it as extremely unwise and very unnecessary to have high duties on so important a mate; Thold that it is bet- ter to leave the money that is ted on that railroad fron in pockets of the people themselves, than to make them pay taxes for its admission into the coantry There is-another view with regard to this importan matter. A few yoars ago the question was raisod in Congress, as to whether the system of fortifications for the protection of the sea coast, commehced In 1816, and followed year after year through period of thirty odd years, should be continued. ‘the ‘President and Secre. tary of War were iene to collect information upon the subject and lay it before C 5 bo Bae ‘ ‘y Jongress. Many officers. the army and na were | the grounds ‘ietinctiy taken that. the rallronds aad in | graphs which private enterprise had constructed, had | superseded the necessity of that system; that, inasmuch an it was commenced with a view to protect our conat from invasion, these lines of tolegraph and railroade rendered invasion impossible; and the only requirements for fortifications were at such places as Key West, which commanded the great thoroughfares of and com- 4 irters of the New YorK HERALD, | ‘meree, railroads could not reach. The grounds were distinctly taken by government that those railroads had relieved {t from the necessity of building any more fortifications with a view of preven’ tevalion: Now, here is a matter from which the government has derived very important aid: this railroad iron has superseded the necessity of any thore fortifications, and has savel the country from the expenditure of millions, Therefore I think that, inasmuch as the government has so direct an interest in the subject, it is our duty here to demand the remission of all duties upon it. General Gmns,’of Tenn., pro asa substitute for the proposition contained in the report of the general committee on business, that the duties be remitted for four years. He had no doubt that Congress would tually remit all such duties; and he considered it a sub- ject in which the convention were justified in taking great interest. A motion wag here made to postpone the further eon- sideration of the question till to.norrow, but it was voted down immediately. Mr. Sanu was of the opinion that the discussion was & useless one, and that the convention was engaged in & debate upon the difference between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee, (Lau, hee] He would move that the whole matter be postponed. General Coomes hoped fopething definite would be done, in order that the convention might adjourn some time between this and next Christmas. General Gipps’s substitute was put, and rejected by a large vote. Mr. Tirr, of Ga., moved that the word ‘remission’? be stricken out and ‘‘reduction’’ inserted, The motion was yoted upon by States and adopted by a large majority. Mr. GreGG, of §.C., moved: that the words ‘ locomo- tives and other machinery” be added after railroad iron, Nieileeine pactedlinest port ¢ following resolutions, forming part of the re) ittee, ¥ by the Secretary — y of the Business Cofhmittee, were rea ‘Where: sof Bolivia, bave mi thore governments has condition of inland wate: lisr to the Riparian S| category of arms of ti doctrine th 01 et free waters w: Also free, even though both banks of euch long to the enme State, and be within cannon other, is founded on the everlasting principles of ri: is sanctioned by Inw of nations; and whereas, the alteation of the federal government h: een invited to this bys memorial from the Memphis convention; therefo Resolved, That Brazil, the both bi # mouth, hi itrarily ot of each ht, and from the navi ters, oF to pro- Tent the citizens of the United States from pasting through hi d_ merchandise, to the Ripa- ‘come and trade th; the President of this conv name of the convention, to congral of Bolivia, Peru and Ec eral policy which they bat Amazonian provinces, and eat which the .

A motion was made to strike it out altogether; but as this was not UPrgnes at the time, Col. Polk moved as an amendment, that the government pur- chase the island of Cuba. This was received with considerable merriment, and as it was evidently intended to defeat the proposition it with the marked approbation of all who were o| to the convention interfering with the great political and party question of river and harbor improvements. The Presipgnt remarked that Mr. Polk’s motion could not be considered by the convention unless as a distinct proposition. ir. Pork—Then, sir, I move, as a separate matter, that Congress be memorialized to purchase or take the island of Cuba. (Applause.) Now, sir, continued Mr. Polk, it is pretended by the gentleman from the District of Co- lumbia (Lieut. 7), that the reason why this proposi- tion to memorial Jongress to improve our rivers and harbors is made, is to protect our commerce and our Southern coast; but what is more important for the pro- tection of that coast than the acquisition of Cuba? And if it wasas important to any other Power, they would not hesitate a moment in taking it if they could. “I think ‘we ought to propose to Spain to pay her the full value of it; and if she does not consent to that we will take it from her, as a matter of neecssity. England and France, we know, are becoming the protectors of the Mediter- ranean and of Turkey, with the view of preventing the extension of the babble Russia over that sea. has also taken into her peculiar keeping the Mosquito and negro king of Central America, and she does not intend if she can barat that we shallextend our commerce in that part of the continent or in South America. Russia is like us, fellowes 3 against England and the other Powers for consmercial extension; and if thi continue as they are at present, we will’ soon have the strange anomally presented to our view—that of the most liberal and the most arbitrary and despotic Powers on the face of the earth battling for the same cause—the extension of commerce. I say, if we are going into politics in this convention, and te give expressions of opinion on sub- jects that have divided the country, we should do it in extento. If we are going to improve ‘the rivers and har- — hay must get Cuba to protect the mouth of the Mis- sissippi. # A motion was here made in favor of the acquisition o Mexico; but before it could be put a delegate desired t know what connection the conquest or acquisition o Cuba had with the subject under consideration. The Guam decided that the motion of Mr. Polk was no Lo sori to the subject, and therefore ruled it outo er. Mr. Pork a led from the deci of the Chair. Mr. Perry, from Tennessee, thot Mr. Polk had a perfect right to present this m: ‘and he would simply suggest thatthe words ‘“purchi or take’ be stricken out, and “‘acquire’’ inserted instead. He considered it a more legitimate matter to memorialize Congress upon than, ‘hat about rivers and harbors, which was a party ‘question. The Psspent—If the gentleman presents it as a se- parate and distinct proposition, I will entertain it, but not otherwise. Mr. Porr—Then, sir, I shall move it as distinct, and shall call it proposition No. 7. Mr. Waitace—I desire to have No. 6 disposed of first, although I am in favor of striking out the whole reso- lution. Gov. CLay—I move to amend the sixth, by adding the worde—‘‘So far aa it may be within the constitutional competency of Congress.’ Mr. Kirkparriox also moved that it be amended by adding the words—‘‘So far as they are of a national character.” In the midst of this discussion the President announced be i being three o’clock, the convention stood ad. journed. DINNER BY THE CITY OF CHARLESTON DELEGATES. CHariestox, April 18, 1854. A magnificent banquet was given this evening in Hi- bernian Hall by the city of Charleston to the members vd the great Southern and Western Commereial Conyen- ion TO THE y of the liberality and generous hospitality for which this beautiful city is so celebrated throughout the Union. Hibernian Hall is one of the finest public build- ings in Charleston, and on this occasion it presented s really brilliant spectacle. As there were nearly a thousand persons present, it was found necessary to di- vide them into two parties, one of which occupied the lower and the other the upper hall. The entertainment, which was of a most costly and sumptuous character, was provided by Mr. Nickerson, of the popular and ad- mirably managed hotel known as the Mills House. The tables were laid out with such artistic taste and judg- ment as would bave done credit to the first hotels in New York. The choicest delicacies of the season were spread in the greatest profusion before the guests, and wines of every kind and of the best quality were added. ‘The tables were ornamented with various appropriate devices in confectionery, among which were emblems of commerce and agriculture, a temple of liberty, a ship under full sail, while large’ boquets of flowers mingled their sweet perfume with th teful savor of condi- ments that would tempt the te of the most fastidious epicure. When to these attractives we add that of a band whose performance added greatly to the attractions of the entertainment we have raid enough to sow that nothing was left undone to gratify every sense. ‘The Mayor, T. L. Hutchinson, presided. The following gentlemen officiated as Vice Presidents: Henry Gourdine, Peter Della Torre, W. Ball Pringle, James ‘Adger, Col. F. W. Allston, Wm. M. Lawton, i. Dickson, Geo. A. Trenholm, Judge King, W. F. Coleock, J. W. Hayne, Win. Grogg, Wm. Elliott, A. 8. MeGrath and W. D, Porter, When the company bad discussed the various enter taining subjects liid on the table, the feast of reason wax urbered in by the reading of the first regular toast which was aa follows:-— he cial Independence of tho Cotton growing ert a. mode by which the wealth 0 for those by whom it is produced. ned. He commenced by saying that it Was neceseary im to give a single reason why this was 0. It wasenovgh to know that it was so, He was coeval with the growth of cotton in this country, though uot very old either. If he were to give @ history of cot ton planters he would have to begin at the yoar 1796, and if he did that he felt certain he would have but very few listeners. The toaat, he said, waa true in fact and in principle; end they all should combine in learning the encom it taught, which inculeated union as the best method of bringing commerce to their shores. He would clone by uniting with them in drinking a glass of wine to the commercial prosperity of the South. The second regular toast was as follows:— Virginia, the Proud Old Commonwealth of tho South— South Carolina greets with ready welcome the children of the Old Dominio: Ex-Governor KR, O° Va., responded. He essed his thanks for the honor which had been conferred on the State he represented, and the hospitable treatment bis brother delegates and himself had received from the poo- ple of Charleston. There was nothing, he continued, of Which Virginia would be more proud than a compliment of this kind from the noble old State of South Carolina. Tn all time to come, when darkness and yore f beset them, Virginia would always turn to her youngest siater for that ald and sympathy which the Old Dominion was always ready to give in return. She would stand side by side with her as long as the Southern States were faithful to themselves, and fight to the last against any and eve encroachment upon their rights, their privileges and their institutions. The third regular toast was— Tiome Education—Always to be encouraged, at this tims of paramount importance, when instruction is di- reeted to the overthrow of ow and political existence. Judge Kixo responded. There was no duty, he said, more incumbent upon them than the proper home educa- tion of their children. They should be instructed ina full knowledge of the ee position in which they were placed; they should knew and become yon | acquainted with the character of their institutions and the rights and privileges which they possessed under them, for without such knowledge by 4 would never become true citizens of the South. In this way would the Southern States Le protected from the attacks of invidious foes from without. Mr. Pree followed in response to the same toast.

A gentle- man at the breakfast table this morning ha® told him that they would not subscribe money for the projects be- fore the convention, and without that they could do nothing. ‘“ Where,” said this gentleman, “are the dol- lara and cents to come from?” thinking that they were the only powers that moved the world. ‘But what,” | said Mr. ‘placed the ‘Little Corporal’ at the head of the French nation, and the prisoner of Ham on the | throne of his uncle?’ What but the power of intellect, which sways the destinies of nations, and makes men sub- | serviont to its potent influence. He was himself but poorly supplied with the commodity of dollars and cents, but he believed that a scruple of intellect outweighed a ton of dollars. He could, with this belief, | more fully appreciate the character of the toast to hone education. It appeared to him that if no other result | had been attained by this convention than the gathering together of such a body of men, who had learned by as- | sociation and interchange of feelings and opinions to know and love each other, it had accomplished a great result, and they were well compensated for all their labor and trouble. He had at one time a strong Bene against what he considered “notions” of the South; but since | he became acquainted with their institutions, he found | that they were not notions, but principles, and so far | from entertaining a prejudice ageinst them now, he | would defend them to the utmost. He came here with a prejudice against the people of Charleston, but he was now happy in being able tosay that not the slightest | shadow of any such impression remained in his mind. He would now say that if South | Carolina, goaded to desperation, should put her- | self upon her rights, and defy those who threatened | the perpetuity of her institutions and her constitutional rights, his State would stand by herto the Jast, He con- | eluded with the following sentiment The determination of South Caroli to maintain th constitutional exercise of her rights within the pale of tl Ui roves to us that, should this country over be Ss sailed by a foreign fo would say, as Aristides of old | said to the Athenians—'Place me where you will, and pheense you place me, there will be found to be the post of | onor. Hon. Joun Preston, of 8. C., replied to a toast in com- mendation of South Carolina. He spoke in eloquent lan- | guage of the distinguished sons of the Palmetto State, of Jobn C, Cathoun, Hayne, and others, and alluded the prominent part she played in the war of the rev tion, when her Sumpter and her Marion gained for her a fame second to no other State in the Union. ‘The following toasts were responded to by Governor Manning, of 8. C., Ex-Governor Jones, of Tenn., and | others, ufter which the company dispersed — Direct Trade, once belonging to us, but lost by our no sleet—May be strong peaeh, to regain it, and wise arantee for the value of a home demand for the Purposes of home consumption.

Apnit.17.—Catharine Kenny against Alfred P Serrell and Wife.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was formerly a domestic in the employ of the de- fendants, against the latter for slander, alleged to have been uttered under the following circumstances :—The | plaintiff, having left her place, sent a person, on the 22d of June, 1853, to procure from the defendants a recom- mendation of the plaintis good character. The, de | fendant’s wife replied, it was alleged by Mr. Shannon, | counsel for the plaintiff, that “the only recommend that | she could give the plaintiff was, that she stole two shirts and three dollars and a half in’ gold,” and that she had | put her away for thieving, Damages were laid at $5,000. For the defence, Mr. George G. Sickles contended that the words alleged to have been spoken by the defendants | never were spoken by them at any time or place, or any words of a similar import; but, on the contrary, it was contended that on the discovery by Mrs. Serrell of the | loss of two of her husband’s shirts, and on asking the | plaintiff! where they were, she denied all knowledge of them, but Genoa irre | stated that she had taken them | for her ‘old man.’’? The plaintiff then left the employ | of the defendants, and shortly after sent her brother-in- | law to get her clothes and a ‘+ recommend,”? which de- fendant’s wife declined giving him, whereupon he became insolent and noisy, and threatened Mrs. Serrell with sceking satisfaction at law. Mrs. Serrell sent her little | son, an intelligent lad of ten years, to call her husband, ‘who camo and ejected him from the house. This action | soon followed. The cause was tried in March last, and | the jury disacreed. In the present instance the jury | were also unable to agree, and were discharged. Superior Court—Part First. Before Chief Justice Onkley. Avni, 17.—Manus McNulty against Lader Wershe.— | This was an action for an alleged nuisance under the fol- lowing circumstances:—The plaintiff was in possession of certain tenements of the house 89 Bleecker street, which he bad taken for two years from the defendant, who oc- crpied the other portions of the house. Tho defendant, it appears, ejected the piainti from a coal house with: out his consent and erected thereon a stable, from which the nuisance complained of proceeded. The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict of six cents damages. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Monpay, April 17—5 P. M.

A run was consequently caused, and $60,000 in specie and bills paid out, when, finding it useless to stem the tide, the bank refused to give specie gr bills of other banks in exchange for its own. “The report wan quickly circulated that the Cochituate Bank had stopped, and holders of the bills gathergd in large numbers to save themsetves from loss. The Bank Commissioners who were examining into their affairs, made an examination, and deemed it their duty to lay an injunction on the bani, which was granted and executed that afternoon.
