Nowell, W. A. Owens, B. T. Watts, T. J. Pickens, James Chestnut, Jr. They were instructed to Tote for Buchanan and Breckenridge. A resolution expressing the sense of the .Legislature in reierence to national Conventions, was laid on the table by a vote of 61 to 44. The Electrlo Telegraph. A recent letter from Pro ? Morae, contains an account of ao experiment which has demonstrated the practicability, of connecting the old World and the new by moans of the Ocean Tslegraph. This result had been rendered doubtful, by the discovery more than two years ago since of certain phenomena, upon subterranean and submarine conductors, which threatened to retard the passage of the electric current. The Professor, without entering into particulars, states that his recent emprimont. . ?1 1 has completely overcome these fears. lie operated upon & continuous line of over 2,000 miles, and the result in spite of all disadvantages was most satisfactory. Advertisements. We would dircct attention to the new advertisement of Messrs. Branch ?Sc Allen, Druggists and Booksellers; nnd particularly to the fact that they are selling at Columbia and Charleston prices. ji. s. Kerr appears this week, with a most attractive bill of fare, to which he is daily adding. He is prepared to sell at the cheapest rates ; and for so doing expects his customers to pay tip the ccuh. We would also refer to the advertisement of H. W. Lawson's new stock of Cooking and Parlor Stoves, Ac.; of Mr. F. P. Robertson, the well known auctioneer ; of the valuable land sale of Joseph Aiken, deceased, by II. A. Jones, agent; of the administrator's sale of Margaret Watson, deceased ; of Thomas Brennan, of Augusta; and various advertisement* of the Qon^missioner and Ordinary. Mexico. This country, so long the prey of the priest and despot, of foreign war, and domestic insurrection, is now blessed with a Government, which if it can surmount pressing dangers, will do much to advance the welfare of the country. The administration of President Cornonfort, has established itaelf in popular confidence, by the enlarged liberties which it has conferred ; and by the abolition of many odious restrictions upon trade and personal liberty. It bos at the same time, encountered the strong opposition of the ruling priesthood, by interfering with their management of the Church property ; and of the turbulent chief tains, whom it has deprived of employment The Government, however, teem* to be strong enough to overcome dotnestic faction. Inrarrtotipn hu been held in eheok on the Ric Orindt, in Pa*bla snd in the eity of Mexico. ?he Government has more to fear from th? Intervention of foreign powers. A few roonthi aime, ? l*rgW5p*?isb fleet, nnder the command of Do* Alvarez, visited Vera Cruz to enforu payment io'fepanish holders of Mexican bonds. And though tibe fleet was withdrawn nnder an arrangement wLUi Comonfort; yet the Government has disavowed the act of Alvarez, hai 0?1?. hi* Iron aervice, fend is now equipping * Urge fleet a*d army to umk* a de aeent Bpw tat Majwcan Territory. The Brit ilh Igoihssas for, bt* withdrawn to Tacubya ad preparation* are said to be is progress, tc conoentrate a Brit||h squadron at Vera Cm, etffirrfint tmbloekade the Mexiosf soast, until sttffsfeetioirii made to British debtors of th? fbwtmtef their^aima f '. Whole Habiiitisr j^Ae ?^s?m^t U # ( said not to exceed $103,000,000 ; and the resources of the Statu are fully sufficient, under the present organization of tho finances, to meet the annual interest. The duties upon imports have increased forty per cent., accord ing to the last quarterly returns ; and the i revenues of the Church property, show an 1 excess of sevorol millions of dollars beyond, what is necessary to maintain the establishment. It is thus probable that the Government will find means to satihfy the British ' claims. More danger is ap" oheded from Spain, which sympathizes with the Romish Church, and will make use of any pretext, to interfere for the support of existing abuses. The Financial Crisis in France. The present preenrious condition of the public credit, in one of tlie centres of commerce, has affected the trade of the world, and though the English market, lias materially in> fluenced the prices of our own great, staple. France seems to be, on the eve of a financial crisis, and the belief is correct, that a suspension of specie payment* is inevitable ; a measure tc which the Emperor ib said to have a great aversion. The inccssant drain from the Bank of France and the habit of hoarding specie indicate a lack of public confidence, and an unhealthy condition of society. Various explanations have been given of the present alarming crisis. Thoy have in a great mens ure ueeii resolved iruo UIO I8VI3I1 expenditures of tlie war in the Crimea, the luxurious living of the upper classes, the inundations, the failure of the havest, and au interference on the part of the Government with the employments of the working classcs of the metropolis, and with the prices of provisions. The necessities of his position seem to have forced Louis Napoleon, to give employment to the unruly populace of Paris. This has been done by undertaking great works of public improvement on the part of the State. The effect of which has been to raise the price of labor by diverting it from private enterprises. At the some time, on increase in the priccs of provisions, from a failure in the harvest, was check ed by forcing the city of Paris at an expense of 12,000,000, to furnish bread, at a rate fixed by the Government. The result of these two causes ; the high rate of wages, and the cheapness of living, was to fill Paris, to overflowing, with workmen from the provinces. This soon produced an enhanced value of provisions, an and increase in the rents; an intolerable grievance, which has led to a deputation to the Emperor, upon the part of the working classes. The result has been a wide spread feeling of discontent with the Government; which the laboring classes regard us fully able to remove all existing grievances. And as the Emperor and the Government, are identified, he has come in for a full share of popular odium. The prevalence of popular discontent, is indicated by the circulation of incendiary placards, and other effort* which the police are endcavoriug to repress. In the meantime, the Government betrays its senee of the danger, by restraining the discussion of political topics in the public journals; repressing the circulation of some of the London papers; and prohibiting the publication, by brokers of the premium offered for silver. In case of an outbreak, the utmost confidence is felt in the personal resources of the Emperor, and ou the devotion of the army, to repress an insurrection. Codification and Digest of the Law. The presentment of the Grand Jury for Charleston District, Mnrch term. 1855, recently published in the citv oanera. nmnnc* ntVior mot. ters, brings to tlio notice of the Leislature, the importance of a codification or digest of the laws of the State. This has recalled to our memory, an article in the old Southern Review for August, 1831, in which the whole question is treated with that profound learning and ability which Legare brought to every discussion. Having been amply repaid by a secoud perusal, we will briefly indicate the conclusions of the Reviewer. He established clearly two propositions; 1st That no code will ever dispense with the necessity of a body of professional lawyers, or of profound study on their part; 2d. That vuun gau ui> uuv nine 10 relieve the litw of its uncertainty ; bat on the contrary will more like!}* add new difficulties in the way of a just interpretation of its principles. These conclusion*, however, have reference, merely to a civil code ; to a digest of the common law, as opposed to the statute law. Tho public law of a couutry, which defines the righto, duties, and liabilities of the citizen, as such, and which is contained in the enactment* of the Legislature ; and especially the Criminal l.n 1- 1- :? ? . iiujmo iu iw priuoi[>ie? ana tnereiore easily digested, and besides is all important to be generally known. This calls for constant revision. Statutes require to be condensed, explained, amended and digested ; so that the citizen may have some clue to a knowledge of bis duties, in the mass of contradictory Legislation. This the Reviewer approves, (and we do not know that the Orand Jury in their present* ment intended anything more,) but to codify the whole body of the common law, would be not only useless, but positively disadvantageous. Mo necessity exist* here, as in France* before the French code, to relieve against the eyils of ' conflicting and diuanUnt l*w? Tim nnmlinn U thus reduced to one of comparative benefit ' or disadvantage. The advocates of codifie^. tk)D, cite the .Justinian collection, aa a triumv" phant example ; yet, in tbe ^pinion of compe1 tent eritios, Tribonian and bis oorapeera, did 1 more injury tfian benefit to Jhe civil law, by 1 often mistaking the just sense of tbe original, and substituting the language of a barbarooa 1 sg? for the elegance of a former ere. The lews of * primitive age ere few and sim1 pie. The exigences of -society require nothing more. Bnt with the Increase of wealth and ' eommeree,.the multiplication of employments and relations, there is a eorrespondirig ex pan' sion aad development of its laws and "instito' tions. Tbsfraias work of soelcty, must take ' the impu^p of Ma Imt. spirit; end proYube made for th?%nltlplied exigencies of > its development, d^htttitntkmsare fetft aside, as worn out vnlsaints; new ones erise 1 to aieet; etJjrf*4 ; aad thus tfe* stream widens and deepens. Thus the common law of England, springing up in a remote antiquity, has been gradually swelled by the the accumulations of years ; by the treasures of the civil and the canon law ; by obsolete acts of parliament; by local and general customs ; by the renponsa prudrntum ; by the decisions of the Court* of Justicc; until now it requires a lifetime for its mastery. The codiC. ?f .....I. _ 1 1 It... v. Du\.ii u inn wuui i ne, 10 me uninilinted but the classification of a number of unmeaning and useless general principles. Whilst to the professional lawyer, it wouid have this further disadvantage: that for these fixed and well defined principles, which by reason and analogy, he mny deducc from the collation and comparison of decided eases ; there would be substituted the vague will of the legislation, to be iwccruincd by new canons of interpretation. Then follows l\\cju*vagum et incognitum? the miserable slavery of anxious and agitated minds. The article commends itself to perusal, as well lor the Just views which it presents, as the profound learning, which it embodies. Political Soirees in London. A late number of the Citizen contains an account of a great demonstration in favor of popular rights, in London, at which eloquence and music combined to lend interest to the occasion. The meeting wns presided over by Ernest Jones, Esq., a distinguished lawyer of the metropolis, And the ediioroflhe Peonle'* .Tnuwl a paper devoted to the ndvocaey of the rights of the lower classes. What the ulterior view of the Chairman may be, is probably not yet clearly defined to his own mind, but he certainly has sagacity enongh, to keep clear of the constituted authorities, and to avoid the penalties of sedition. In the meantime he is closely watched by the Government, and the journals of the city report his triumphs of eloquence and song. Tliey all contain very flattering notices of his oratorical powers. The London Times speaks of his discourse, as a "masterpiece pf demagogic art. Calm and mild in his beginnings, vehement as he warms with his subject, subtle in his reasonings, forcible in his illustrations, startling in his sudden sarcasms, familiar, but not vulgar, and often poetical in his metaphors, Mr. Ernest Jones has a rare talent of atirrincr tin O "f disposed to nccord with his sentiments. The beginning presented a somewhat listless appearance ; but by the time the lecture was over it was converted into a band of enthusiast*." To the triumphs of the orator, Ernest Jones, has added those of the song-writer; and acting up to the spirit of the remark, that, "Give me the making of the songs of a people, and I care not who makes it* laws," he has composed the stirring ballad which follows. In startling contrasts, in soul moving appeals, in rythm and power of words, we can conceive nothing more effectual for kindline the imagination, and impressing the memory. It is worthy to be compared to the marteloite hymn, and equally potent in rousing the passions of the multitude, and eoflaming them to a burning sense of wrong: "The Song of the Lower Classes.
