Earl Derby attacked thi resolutions of Mr. Gladstone on the Irisl Church, and accused Lord Bussell of vacilla - tion c/ opinion on tte question. He asid ttl resolutions adopted by only one House wen . without binding force on the Crown, but if th< bill was duly passed it would then be obli? gatory. He criticized Lord Eussell's alt?r?e views on the subj eet, and hoped that by thc defeat of tte scheme Ireland would be savec from discord ~J ?? Lord Bossen was amazed to see Derby open? ing this question her? while it was yet pending in tte lower House. He said the peace of Ire? land wu tte ahm of his life, and he defended bis course on this ground, that inconeistency .in means was not incompatible with ?msisten Toy in the end. He pref erred his own plan for tte solution of the Irish difficulties, but ac i cepted tte plan of Mr. Gladstone as the most practicable under the circumstances, if the resobres passed tte House, he should submit sn appropriate bfll, which he believed would be sustained try the Blouse of Commons and tte public opinion of tte country, and would without doubt command tte assent of thc House of Lords. He expressed the hope that tte Ministry would not attempt to influence tte Crown adversely to the wfll of the House rjACommoDs, ss a collision between the Crown and the House would be most deplorable. Tn the House of Commons, Disraeli, answer? ing a Question from the opposition, said the Ministry wished for the fullest discussion of tte Irish Cnurch question. Mr. Gladstone hoped the debate would not delay the business of the House, and in that light deplored the time wasted last night The trial af Burke, Casey and Slaw com? menced to-day in tte Court of the. Queen's Bench, London. The court room was crowded, and great interest taken in the trial. Burke's ??ansel moved for a mixed jury of Englishmen and foreigners to try his case, on the ground that he was an alien; but the counsel for the Crown objected. A- passport; signed by .Min? ister Adams, was offered as proof of defend? ant's-nationality,! but the paper was finally ruled out as inadmissible, and the motion for a mixed jury was accordingly denied. The ooun 1 eel for the Crown denned the offence with which the defendant's stood charged as felony, as laid down in the law of 1848. They had made war against the Queen, and the penalty according to that law ia transportation and penal servit ode for from two to Bevan years. The case was then opened for the prosecution.

To dut Editor s of the News : In to-day's edition of the "Catholic Gazette,'" appears a flattering notice of several articles to be at one of the tables. We would say that the Persian piece of needle work is unaurpass . ed for beauty and splendor. The s a bj ec t is the interior of an Oriental palace, with the Sultan and Sultana. This artistic piece is unequalled. It is mounted in a most elaborate standing frame; and it is only one of the many beautiful and useful articles which will be on exhibition and to be raffled at St. Joseph's table, under the management of the young ladies, Miss Sane and Miss McSwiney. * JASPER. The Artesian Water. To the Editors of the News : As one of the numerous class of draymen who water their mules at the Aitesian Well, I wish to claim a small space in your popular paper to call the attention of the city authori? ties to a matter of much importance to the drayage inter?s;. Though there are several troughs intended for the watering of horses and mules at the well, only two contain water, and these, owing to leaking and some defect in the conducting pipes, are rarely more than half filled. The consequence is that the dray? men lose a great deal of valuable time in wait? ing, which might easily be saved by having all the trongas put in proper arder and kept con? stantly filled. As the drays pay a good round sum info the city's strong box, I hope that prompt attention will be given to this com? plaint of A DRAYMAN. COUBI OF APPEALS.-COLUMBIA, April 29. Daniel J. Heels act?.

Al? ready the surronndings are of the roost oh-be joyful character, and the more joky, because the fun has been stimulated by nothing mach stronger than a qua Tpumpaginti and sugar. I beg pardon, ? do recall one solitary exception a poor fellow,-Whom I lound leaning against the wheelhouse, about two. o'clock this morn? ing, and trying to wind up his watch with a cork-screw. I asked him what' time it was, and he said the conzi torah un must-hie-and shall be blockade-dade-ed. I told him I thought so myself, when he immediately borst into tears, and said he should- never see his .mother again. 11 think he-waB sea-sick. How we left the Charleston wharf; how the boys cheered the Stonewalls, and the Stone? walls cheered the 'vigilante; how the "baby waker" on the Champion discharged a handful of salutatory gunpowder, and the City Point fired back her "thank you marm," and how the steamer finally disappeared in the dim distance, her decks looking Tory much aa if they were piled up with red tomatoes, are events which, no doubt, your graphic reporter has "done up" in his most festive style. ' j What remains to be told is brief. The voy? age was as pleasant aa under the circumstances could be expected., AO went merry aa a mar? riage, bell until we got twenty miles out, when a large number, of the boys were taken with "a fit of gloomy abstraction," and gazed into the briny deep as if they wanted to go hoc? im? mediately and die in the spring time. : To be found sea-sick, however, was to un? dergo the thumb-screw torment of the inqui? sition. The boya with cast-iron stomachs who would not get sick Bung for the victims like Camanches. They brought them bacon; they affectionately tendered sardines; they pulsed them, put them to bed, gave them salt water for a beverage and rubbed them with whiskey for a lotion-they did all sorts of things, in fact, until the miserable sufferers looked as if every moment were to be their first. I saw one trying to escape this improvised purgatory. He had stolen astern to the most remote and undesirable spot on the steamer, and there he sat disconsolate as a borrowed purp. One of his comrades put his head out of the cabin window and inquired what in the world was the matter. "Go to thunder with your conundrums," was the response; 'Tm in,--." . A sudden attack of mai de mer cut short the remark that was about to follow, and the one simple geographical observation "E-u-r-o-p-e"-said all that poor human nature could express. To Bleep was impossible. Somebody was ca? rolling with force, if not with sweetness, all night long. Staterooms were visited, cho? ruses in imitation of numerous Thomas cats on a shed under your window were sung ve? hemently; ten buckets were turned into kettle drums. Animated songs of twenty-five verses each, two lines in length, and all the lines the same, were warbled enthusiastically. Stories were told; one or two Indian war dances per? formed, and various other exhibitions took place, 'too numerous to mention," but which probably satisfied every individual present with weak nerves and an unreliable stomach that an excursion party of firemen is the next best thing to Pandemonium which this mundane sphere affords. The VigUant and Washington both bring with them the floral decorations of their en? gines, and the cabin is hong with immense wreaths of fresh and beautiful flowers. The Vigilants have also the exquisite pyra? mid of French flowers and ornaments which attracted so much attention during the parade in Charleston. Four o'clock. We have arrived at the dock in Savannah. The grey streaks of dawn are appearing in the distance, and the boys are making ready to remove their engines. A committee representing the Fire Department of Savannah have informally received their Charleston guests, and will conduct them to the quarters provided. The day promises to be fair, and so far nothing has marred the pleasure ot the trip. Both companies are in fine feather, and both anxious to measure strength and water with Georgia mnecletand machinery. Chief Nathans, of Charleston, is present un? officially. THE CELEBRATION AND THE CONTE8T. [BT TELEGRAPH TO UTE DAILY NEWS.] SAVANNAH, Friday Evening, May 1.-The sun rose gloriously this morning, and at an early hour the entire population seemed to be in the streets. Visiting fire companies were present from Macon, Augusta, Thomas ville and Charleston, and all were welcomed and provided for in the most generous and thought? ful spirit. The Charleston companies were under the special care of the Marshall Hose Company, of Savannah, from whom they re? ceived every Attention, a bounteous board being spread at their engine house throughout the day. At half-past nine o'clock there was a general reception of the visiting companies by the Mayor and members of Council, in front of Firemen's Hall. The line waa then formed by Chief Marshal Ripley and Assistant Mar? shal Fen-ill, in the following order : Music. Mayor and Council. Chief and Assistants. Chiefs of Macon and Augusta, and other officers. Mechanics' Hook and Ladder Company. Neptune Fire Company, of Thomasville. Vigilant Fire Company, of Charleston. Oglethorpe Fire Company. Protection Fire Company, of Macon. Washington Fire Company. Washington Steam Fire Company, of Charles? ton. Germania Fire Company. VigUant Steam Fire Company, of Angusta. Metropolitan Fire Company. Music. Marshall Hose Company. The procession was exceedingly imposing. There were ten engines In the line-all of them steamers, "with the exception of our Vigilant. The steamer of the Protection Company of Macon-a rotary-attracted much attention. All the engines were beautifully adorned. The procession moved through South to West Broad-street, thence to the Bay and along East Broad and Broughton to Bull, then down lo Johnson Square, where the trial was to take place. The rules under which the contest was to occur were as follows: The hand engines will be allowed to occupy the cistern ten minutes after taking their position, and bot one triil. Each steam engine will be allowed to occupy the cistern ten minutes after .raising steam to sixty pounds, except in case of bursting hose or breakage of apparatus. In no instance will more than one hundred and twenty pounds of 8teambe allowed. Only one trial allowed to each steamer. Each company shall play through one hun? dred feet of hose, with the nozzle best adapted to its engine, upon the platform, in the order of playing, irrespective of wind and weather. After making one trial, the cistern shall be immediately vacated, and tho' next engine in the crier of playing must lake its position without delay. The judges will measure solid water only. > The contest was a spirited one, resulting as follows : The first prize was won by the Ger? mania Steam Fire Engine Company, of Savan? nah, who threw a distase* oftwo hundred and nineteen feef ten inches: ' .. ' " ' The second prize waa won by the Vigilant Steam Fire En gi ne Company, of Augusta, who threw a distance of two hundred and nineteen feet. Tho Washington, of Charleston, played two hundred and eight feet, and the Vigilant, of Charleston, one hundred and seventy-seven feet. The other distances .'thrown by the steamers, were one hundred-and eighty feet, .one hundred and ninety-two feet and one hun? dred and ninety-nine feet. Two balls ire to be given to-night ? in honor of the visiting firemen, and an excursion down the river is arranged for to-morrow. The citizens have displayed the greatest hospitality, a large number of them keeping open houses. Oaf Charleston boys are all well, and enjoying themselves hugely. nie Greenville and Colombia Kaiiroad. . AKNTJAL SLEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the above company was held at Ni ck er son's Hotel, Columbia, on Thursday. The meeting was organized by calling Wm. A. Courtenay, Esq., of Charleston, to the chair, and reques? ting Mr. C. V. Carrington to act. aa secretary. The chairman then addressed the convention as follows: ' >; I desire to express my thinks for tho honor you have conferred in calling me to pre? side over your annual convention. Com? ing, asl do, from the City of Charleston, I cannot regard your partiality, thus exhibited, but as a compliment to my native city-as an earnest of your good will to your fellow-citi? zens by the sea shore, and, m this aspect, it will be most gratefully appreciated there, I know full ' welL When Charleston was powerful and wealthy, her sons evinced both energy and zeal in the cause of railroad connections with the interior of our State, and her material aid has been, in past times, freely given to these schemes of inter? nai improvement within our borders, and even beyond them. Now, when she (in common with all within the limits of South Carolina) is borne down by an all-co ntrofling misfortune, it is a grateful reflection that her old friends of the northwestern districts have, through ail these years of trial and difficulty, been stead? fast to their old alliances. Charleston desires to foster and perpetuate her ancient friend? ships with all portions of the State, and al? though estranged from them in some quarters, by causes most unexpectedly developed, she knows fell well that the time will come when they will be all restored and cemented by closer ties, let us hope, than ever before. The chairman then announced that the meet? ing was ready for business. A committee, consisting of Mesera. B. F. Crayton, A. McBee and A. C. Hawthorne, was appointed to verify proxies. The stockholders present were called upon to report to the sec? retary the individual stock. The committee having reported a majority of stock repre? sented, the convention proceeded to business. President Hammett read the annual report (heretofore published); and the secretary was requested to read the report of the acting su? perintendent and Other orhcers. TheBe reports were adopted without the usual reference to a committee. The following resolutions were indtrodnced by Hon. J. P. Bead, of Anderson, and unani? mously adopted: Resolved, That this convention bas heard with great satisfaction of the renewed and en? ergetic efforts that are being made to complete the construction of the "Blue Ridge Railroad, connecting the cities of Louisville and Cincin? nati, and through them the great Northwest, by a direct line of communication with our Southern seaboard at Charleston. Resolved, That whilst we favor and will en? courage, to the extent of our ability, the con? struction of all railroad! that promise to be? come friends to oar road and aid in developing the resources of oar common country, we re fard the early completion of the Blue Ridge oad as of incalculable importance to the ac? complishment of these objects. This work is of such magnitude as to be properly regarded as national in its character, and its early com? pletion will bind together, socially, politically and commercially, the great Northwest and the Southern Atlantic slope-two of the im? portant sections of our soon to-be-restored (as we earnestly hope and desire) National Union, by bonds that, growing stronger by time, even the throes of revolution will be impotent to Bever. Resolved, That this Convention hereby re? news the action had and pledges made at its annual meeting in May. 1857, in favor of said Blue Ridge Railroad, and will contribute to its success all the influence and means in its power. Colonel G. F. Townes introduced the follow? ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the President and Directors of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad are entitled to the thanks of the stockholders for their judicious management of ita concerns du? ring the past year : and particularly for the zeal and efficacy with which they have resisted the suits instituted by a small portion of the bondholders, to foreclose the mortgage and force the road to sale, under circumstances that would sacrifice the interest of the State in the road, and that of the bondholders and stockholders generally. Resolved, That his Excellency Gov. J. L. Orr is especially deserving the thanks of the stockholders and bondholders generally, as well of the people of this State, by his agency in securing an injunction upon the suits insti? tuted by a few bondholders, which were in? tended to sell out the road, at the sacrifice to them of several millions of dollars. The chairman appointed Messrs. John T. Sloan, H H. Beattie and Z. T. Taylor, a com? mittee on election, and the convention went into an election for president and directors for the ensuing year, which resulted as follows: President-H. P. Hammett. Directors-J. P. Bead, Robert Stewart, A. McBee. B. F. Perry, Daniel Brown, Simeon lair, H. T. Farmer, L. D. Childs, J. L. Orr, W. A. Courtenay, A. C. Hawthorne, and G. W. W. Marshall. On motion, the thanks of the convention were returned to W. A. Wright, Esq., of Nick erson's Hotel, for the use of the hall. Upon motion, the thanks of the convention were then unanimously tendered to the chair? man of the convention, for the courteous and satisfactory manner in which he bas presided over the deliberations of the meeting, and there being no farther business, the conven? tion, on motion, adjourned sine die.

PAREJEA BEA VA-Another of the ingredients of | the Radway's Besolvent held in high estimation by the moat eminent medical men of Europe, South America and United States, as the best remedial I agent for the diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, Ute rus, and as a litkotUrlptic tor dutolmng Calculi, as a curative for Jaundice, Rhen ma nam, Leucorrh?es, Ac, since 1688 has never been properly prepared. Under J Dr. Radway's process the daampallne principle of j thia valuable root is secured, and, associate 1 with SarsapariUian and other ingredients in the Resol? vent makes lt a perfect cure in every form of dis? ease of the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs Dropsy, Gravel, Incontinence, or Stoppage of Wa? ter, Diabetes, or Urinary Diarrhoeas, and every kind of weakening, irritating or purulent discharges, not proper to mention in on advertisement is rapidly cured by this remedy. So quick does the Besolvent enter into the circa- ] lat?an, that lt may be detected in the urine in ten minutes after lt has been taken. In many cases lt has secured a free discharge of water-in cases where catheters were formerly used. Ia not this a blessing ? BUCHU, Turpentine Junipers, Gin, Copaiba, Cu? betos, and other distinct Diuretics, are in many cases hurtful. In Diabetes. Urinary Diarrhoeas, Catarrh ol the Bladder, Dropsy, and in weakness or ulcera? tion of the Kidneys, are unsafe to use as a continued remedy, and should never be given unless under the supervision of a physician, aa the strain these direct remedies may produce on the Kidneys may, In the course of a few hours, require opiates, to change or modify their action; this fact ls self-evident to any medical man. A compensating remedy like the SAB S APARILLLAN RESOLVENT, is the true remedy to use In these cases-even as a diuretic. PA REIB A BBAVA, as prepared by Dr. Badway, and one of the ingre? dients of the Besolvent isas superior to aU forms of Buchu, Ac, as rich cream is to watered mflfc Let all Buffering from unnatural drains from the system-caused either by self-abuse, depraved habit of body, bad blood, Impure association, weak? ness of the genital organs, or Skin Diseases, Scromla, uncured Secondary Disease, Sypbiloid Ulcers, Chronic Disease, or from Consumption of the Lungs, ss weU as degeneration of the Kidneys, or Chronic Disease of the Liver, Spleen, Ac, commence at once the use of the SARS APARILLLAN RESOLVENT.

BITTEES.-THE HITMAN STOMACH seems to require a tonic stimulant From the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the con? trary, tonic bitters have been used. Formerly men made their own bitters, and few thought of eating breakfast without first taking their "tansy." Those were days, however, when prohibitory laws were un? known, and, In consequence, liquors were pure. Dealers could then afford to be honest and eeU noth? ing but the unadulterated. Now, however, what with government tax and court fines, pokeberry Juice and alcohol must pase muster for "old rye" and "pure bourbon." People have come to fear poisoning more than malarial diseases and dropped their "tansy." Right here la where HOSTETTEB A SMITH, of Pittsburg, have proven benefactors. Years ago they commenced the manufacture of HOS TETTERS STOMACH BITTERS, laying it down as a rule that has since been conscientiously followed, to use nothing bat the purest liquors, manufactured expressly for them. By strict adherence to this rule they have won public confidence and reaped their reward in a large, profitable and steady business. Their BITTERS is known all over the country. They are pioneers of the business, and have the lar gest manufactory In the world. Nor has success ia their case, as in too many instances, rendered them careless; their Bitters is as pure and good to-day as was the first distillation. We heartily recommend them as a tonic. As a specific for dyspepsia, btiiousness, consti? pation, nervousness, general debility, and remittent and intermittent fevers, its efficacy has nev. r been questioned. There are many worthless imitations; we earnestly caution the public against them.
