LATEST INTELLIGENCE! iARRIVAL^^^ OF THE Steamship America! ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. Decline in Cotton ! bales, 37,000 bales. INTERESTING POLITICAL ITEMS. * \ ^ ^ Halifvx, April 17. The British Steamer, America, arrived this morning, bringing advices from Liverpool tip to the 5th inst. Kv.in. #i.? ? i ?i.-? ?t? a ivui kiiviut uo icntii iiKit iiiu curruiii qualities of cotton had declined an eighth of a penny, and that the sales of tho week had amounted to 37,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken on speculation, and 1800 for export, the balance, 32,200, going to the trade. The sales for the corresponding week last year, amounted to 43,880 bales, of which 14,600 were taken on speculation. v On tho day prior to the sailing of the America, ihe 4th inst., 4000 bales were sold, and cotton closed firm, holders being indisposed to yield. The political intelligence is nov of a very important character, and the following items embrace the most interesting features of it: Great Britain.?-The Russell Ministry continues to hold its nosition. A nnworful Papal league has been formed in London. Fears are entertained of a revolutionary project being in contemplation, which is to burst forth during the World's Fair. The government, however, is said to bo amply prepared for any emergency that may happen on the occasion. France.?Considerable alarm exists, lost the vast diffusion of Socialist principles, which is daily taking place throughout the country, may produce another revolution. Terrific Storm at the North.?New York, April 17.?There has been a terrific Sale and freshet accompanied with great estruction of property, to-day. Much damage has been sustained in this city, and the wiinrves nave ueen inunaatea. Many llailroads have been submerged. Several Binall vessels have been sunk, and it is apprehended that a serious loss of life has occurred. In Boston, families were driven out of their houses by the freshet, and so furious was the storm that several houses were capsized; among them, the Episcopal Church in East Boston. New York, April 18.?The loss in Boston alone, by the storm, is estimated at half n million. Several lives have been lost. The Islands are literally strewed with wrecked matter. Bridges on the Railroads have been o^cpt away. Nbw York, April 18.?'The America's slews bas slightly depressed Cotton. Eieven hundred bales were sold to-day at a decline of an eigiiih. The Prometheus has arrived from Chagres. The New Orleans arrived at Panama on the lBt of April with $600,000 in gold dust. The Northerner with $800,000, and the Antelope with $600,000. The City of Acerbanda has been burned, and the loss sustained is estimated at a million. New York, April 19.?Cotton is without change. The sales to-day were 1000 bales. 1lie Pacific's news has had no effect. In Liverpool on the 9th inst., prices were in favor of buyers. . Charleston, April 19.?The sales of Cotton on yesterday and to-day reach nine hundred bales at 8 3-4 a 11 l-4c. No change in prices. STILL LATER. ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. New York, April 19.?The American Steamer Pacific lias just arrived with dates from Liverpool to the morning of the 9th inst. The sales for the three days since the departure of the Atnerica, were 11,000 at the following quotations: Fair uplands, 7 3-8, Mobile, 7 3 8, ' Orleans, 7 3-4: *' "Consumers were disposed to restrict their operation!) to their actual requirements, and await advices respecting the crops of Amer-1 K*. ' fW The political advices by the Pacific are meagre and uninteresting. - 'Coming Over to the Pantaloons.? Mrs. lUoomer, editor of the Lily, has adopted the "short dress and trowsers," and says in her paper of this month, that many of the women in that place, (Seneca Falls) oppose the change; others laugh ; others still are in favor, "and many have already adopted the dress." She closes the article upon the subject as follows : "Those who think we look lquetrf would do well to look back a few years, to the time wflmj tiiev wore ten or fifteen pounds of yfttr ticoats and bustles around the body, and bnlloons on their arms, and then imapin* WAA;A cuo ptusw-jvi,' ^ut^t tb0V or W6.

' opv The College.?We are pleased to observe i flit prwnea io bar town of the Rev. Dr. WigMrnriCtiftitbe Ber/lftan Wtlker, Bma, Derrick, PorUr, Beard, and otfeer gen South Carolina.?We are often astonished and allocked, at the abuse heaj>ed npon this noble State by a vernal Northern press. The history of South Carolina is one of which any State might well be proud. There is no sacrifice she has not made for the true interest of the country ; 110 war in which we have been engaged, that her aid has not been liberally extended. But if we are shocked at the vituperation of the Northern press, what shall we say of those papers in the South, who delight in aping the cantof their filthy allies; particularly those who deprecate agitation, to see the country again restored to quietude. I11 the late controversy between the two sections of the Union, South Carolina said, nnrlmtiQ ne lif ila nc unt? nfKni. Qrtnik/.i>?i She took no position ; she made no demands, except such jis were strictly in accordance with our true interests and honor. It comes with an exceedingly bad grace from those who have proved treacherous or weak, to speak in terms of contempt of a people whoso gallant bearing is extemporaneous with their earliest ancestry, and who have never permitted selfish considerations to deter them from pursuing their honest, patriotic convictions.? Texas Republican. Hail Storm in Texas.?All tho hail storms we have had sink into insignificance before the one described below, which occured in Galveston, Texas: "A remarkable storm of hail occurred there on Saturday, the 5tli inst., about noon. The weather was quite warm, the mercury stand ing at 08 deg. of Farenheit. Some showery looking clouds were floating over the 8ky, and threatening rain, when suddenly ashower of hail stones commenced falling, which sounded on the roofs of the houses like falling rocks, frequently splitting the shingles, and invariably breaking the glass of ever)' window within their reach. The wind was blowing, though not very violently, from the north, and we think that fully half of all the glass on the north side of all the buildings in the city was broken to pieces in about ten or fifteen minutes. A great many windows were also badly broken on the east and west sides of the buildings. We have heard the amount of window glass broken in the city in those few minutes estimated at ten thou sand panes. The stones were of various 6izes, the smallest being .about the size of grapes, while others were as large as the largest oranges. Very few were gathered up until after the storm, as it was dangerous to venture outside the door while they were falling. Some that were measured after the shower, and when their bulk had considerably diminished by melting, measured ten inches in circumference. A number of horses in the streets were frightened and ran away, and hogs, dogs, and other animals ran squealing and howling fur shelter; and it is a matter of surprise that few or no serious accidents happened. The hail stones presented various appearances. Some of them very nearly resembled hard snow balls; otnera Hpj>eareu to ue a conglomeration of snow and ice ; and others were quite transparent, being composed of pieces of ice or smaller hail stones, that had apparently been brought together during the process of congelation, aud after they had commenced their desfi>nL TIipkb. wlion ilio? riraf foil were covered over with sharp angular points which,however, melted quickly away leaving a smooth surface." Go it, Ye Cripples.?Mr. Tupper, the author of "Proverbial Philosophy," will soon be distinguished fur proverbial nonsense. On the occasion of a recent visit made by tlie members of the N. York Legislature to Blackwell's Island, Mr. Tupper was a guest, and took dinner with "assembled wisdomafter which, he delivered himself of the following eloquent aud sublime speech: Mr. Tupper then said?My dear friends, I have not prepared a sj>eecli. All I have to say, I come over the Atlantic ocean to say I love you?to tell you that England loves you. You have some faults, which I do not mean to flatter; but you deserve to be called Englishmen. (Cheers, mingled with suppressed murmurs.) I find no differ dence. I have crossed the ditch, nnd I find you are Englishmen at the other side. (Cheers and hisses.) Yankee Englishmen I mean. Cheers and laughter.) I wish to write a book about yon. A voice?Not in the Dickens style. Mr. Tupper?I want to tell the truth about you.

I want to say a few words about this institution. I have come among you?[Interruption*, with cries of " Go on," amidst which Mr. Tupper sat down, while a horn was sounding in vain for silence.] Brother Jonathan can now hold up his head, for Mr. Tupper will protect him. Happy Brother Jonathan who is worthy to be called an Englishman?a Yankee English ?yea, verily, an Anglo-Saxon, as Abbot Lawrence hath it.

Population of Florida.?AVe find in the Florida Sentinel the subjoined al?tract of the population, &c., 01 Florida, with the ex ccption of the counties of Monroe and Dade, furnished by the United States Marshal.? The Sentinel remarks: "By the census of 1840 the population of the Territory was shown to be 54,447? Monroe and Dude contributing 032 to that number. These two counties now contain between three and four thousand. Exclud ing them, the population in 1840 was 53,845 and in 1850 it was 80,655, giving an increase of 32,810, or over 60 per cent. We ma)' safely fix the population of Florida at 90,000, in round numbers, showing that there is yet abundance of room for more.? Florida eontains an area of 57,000 square miloR. nr 37 OftO fifin ni>ro? ^ Dying Declarations?Important Decision.?An important decision was made by Judge Baxter at Warren Superior Court which, if sustained, will overrule a long established principle of Common Law, and which has never heretofore, to our knowledge, been disturbed. Lovitt charged with the murder of Bell in the mouth of February last, was arraigned for trial, and the State's counsel offered to introduce, as evidence, the declarations of the deceased, made in his last illness, and charged the offence to the prisoner. The counsel for Prisoner objected to the reception of such declarations as legal evidence in a criminal prosecution, and alledged in sup|>ort of the exception, the sixth Article of Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which it was contended, .amounted to an entire abolition of the Common Law upon the point in question. The Article reads as follows : " In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public uiui, u| mi iiupitiuiu jury ui iii? ouiie ana district, wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation ; to be CONFRONTED WITH THE WITNESS AGAINST HIM," &C., &.C. The point was ably argued by Messrs. Toombs, Cone and Pottle, for the Prisoner, and Messrs. Weems, Sol., Gartrell and Dawson, for the State. The exception was sustained, and a nolle prosequi entered on the bill, the other t'atimony being, in the opinion of State's counsel, insufficient to convict. This decision may be law, but we feel no hesitation in saying it ought not to be.? Washinoton Gazette. Newspapers must be.paid for.?A case was tried yesterday, in the Common Pleas before Judge Kelly, in which the right of a newspaper publisher to exact payment from a subscriber, who neglects or refuses to give notice to stop his paper, was fully tested.? The case was ihat of Philip II. Freas vs. Jacob Haas. It was an action to recover the subscription price of the Germantown Telegraph for 12 years. The paper was left at n public ho?s? in the vicinity of the defendant^ stall, in Callowhill street, (tlie defendant being a butcher at the time,) at the ex press direction of Mr. Haas, where it continued to be left for the space of time stated. The defence was two fold?1st. the statute of limitations; and 2d, tbat the paper should have been left at the residence of the defendant, as it was known to the plaintifE, Judge Kelly charged the jury, that where a person subscribes tor a paper, and gives directions where it shall be left.be is bouud to pny for it, unless ho prescribes the time for which it shall be left. If a subscriber wishes to discontinue his paper it is his duty to square his accounts, and then give notice for a discontinuance. If a paper is sent to a person through the Post Office, and he takes it out, he is bound to pay for it If a subscriber changes his residence, it does not follow that the carrier must take notice of it, and a delivery of the Daoer at tliA nlnA? wliere he was first directed to leave it, is a delivery to the subscriber, unless the publisher receives notice to discontinue or send it to another place. The statute of limitation did not affect the case, as the defendant had paid wraethingon account in June, 1844. Verdict or plaintiff, $22,50.?Phila. Sun. A Visit to the Mexican Cathedral.? A correspondent of the Washington Union, writing from the city of Mexico, says : " One day hist week I spent a whole morning (six hours,) in examining the Cathedral and its treasures. By special favor they Bhowed us everything, among others thecus buuuin, in wmcn uie consecrated Host is ex* posed on certain occasions. It cost $200,000, but is worth $500,000; and you will not wonder at this when I inform you that it is full four feet high, made of solid gold, and studded with precious stones. The pedestal is a foot and a half square, inlaid witb diamonds and rubies. At each corner is the golden figure of an angel, exquisitely carv ed. Around his waist and neck are strings of the finest pearls. His wings are inlaid or covered with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. In his riorht hand hfl lnli!? nf wheat, made of yellow topez; in his left bunches of grapes made of araethytis. The shaft is also studded with diamonds and rubies. The uppei part, containing the host, is made to represent the sun, and is a foot and a half in circumference ; the rays that emanate on one side are made entirely of diamonds of the first water, beginning with some of large size and gradually tapering off. Thedross that, surrounds the top is af so on this side made of diamonds, and is superb. On the other side, both the cross j and the rays are of the roost beautiful em-! eralds?perhaps larger than the diamonds." How to Cubs a Cold.?Of all other meatifl or curing colds, tseting ?tbe most ? , factual. Let whoever Iim a ooid, eat nothing whatever for two days, and his cold win. be gone, provided he is not confined to liis bed?because by taking no carbon into the system by food, but consuming that surplus which caused bis disease by breath, be soon carries off bis disease by Removing the cause. This will be found more effectual if be adds ( copious water drinkiag to protracted fasting. f Br the time a person has bated oee day and ! . contrast with that mental stupor and physical pais qsassd by oolds. "And bow infinitely better Is tbis method of breakiag up colda tbao medicines, especially than ywleut'poJ*>us. ..." I; H . Govern your Temper.?A difficult thing it is for liut-liended people to govern their tempers at all times and under severe provocation?. Hut no man can be truly great, who dosn't keep his combntiveness fenced in. An excellent recipe for coolness nnd equanimity, is to preserve an uniformly subdned voice and an easy deportment?to exclude, entirely, fretful thoughts, frowning brows, and ferocious gratings of the teeth, though the fountains of wrath within, he never so much 44 riled." The Navy regulation forbids any seamen from entering a ship's powder-magazine with a knife, key,or similar article in his pocket, or about his person, or with nails in his shoes, or metal buttons on his clothes. Bolt the door of your heart with half this care against woltishnessin its varied disguises ol'sheep's clothing, and you need cherish no fears of getting into a 44 blow up." 44 lie that rulcth his spirit is bettor than he lluifc nnun the wise man. And there is certainly a 'heap' of comfurt in keeping down one's indignation, even at those times when indignation may be perfectly righteous. Why stop to cane every dog that snaps at your heels ? The strength wasted on his miserable carCiiss, would serve you to do a considerable job of work ; and, l>esidee, it is an indisputable fact, that just so long as you resort to caning, instead of contempt, to rid yourself of dogs, just so long will dogs come round to be caned. In plainer phrase, if you show quickness to anger, there will never be wanting mischievous loafers, ready to use the long pole of insult and injury to " stir up the animals." EST Every body, every " old inhabitant,*' will remember the mnn who rushed on horseback into the town of Hartford, when the " Oliver Ellsworth" steamer burst her boiler, exclaiming at the top of his voice, "The Eliver Ollswortli had bifd her biCster! The Eliver Ollsworth has biCd her burster /" Something not unlike this, was a hurried inquiry, we once heard made in this citiy, for the office of "Dr. Ocular, tlio Wheelist."? Knickerbocker.

Georgia Lumber for Spain.?A ship was taken up here yesterday, says the Savannah Republican of the Oth, to carry 400,000 feet of lumber to Cadiz, and orders are received for 1,100,000 feet more for the same destination. It is for the Spanish Government, nnd this is the first order received here from that source?the supplies of timber for that Government having hitherto come from the Gulf. jt3T"Tlie Albany Dutchman significantly | says, "half the misery in this world is caused by pistarecns trying to pass themselves off for quarters."
