United State* Loan.—The New York Com- mercial Advertiser, in commenting on that part of the President’* Message, which says that the loan au-

thori*ed by the kite session of Congress wa* not of- fered in Europe, says:

“It is doubtless true that ‘the foreign market has not been resorted to,* in regard to this loan, directly; bat we lielieve it is equally true that it lus been re- sorted to indirectly—that is to say, by some of the holders of the scrip—and the result has been morti- fying in the extreme. For the first time in the his- tory of the republic; the credit of the Federal Gov- ernment has been blown upon both in Paris and Lon- don.

“Attempt* to negotiate a portion of the new loan were made in both capitals; and in both the reply was that the bankers could do nothing with it. And the reason of this want o( success was declared to he pernicious doctrine of opposition here, touching the repudiation of state liabilitses ; and the indication that

Mississippi was about to repudiate her bonds. The capitalists of Europe, it was said, know little differ- ence if any, between our national and state obliga- tions. if tne latter repudiate their debts, they argue that the former may do so likewise. Hence it so

happened during the last few months, that while France, with an arbitrary government, burdened al-

ready with an immense debt, has found ao difficulty in obtaining a loan of 150,000,000 francs, nt a low rate of interest, the Uuited States free, and compar- atively free from debt, with resources beyond them all, have not been able to obtain a dollar.’1

The Steam Fire Engine belonging to some

of our insurance companies, was brought into Wall street, and its capabilities tried. The experiment appeared to us to be successful. It threw four pow- erful streams above the top of the Exchange, and seemed to throw water enough to put out almost any firo that could be started. At any rate, it threw a

shower into the neighborhood of our office which it was not very comfortable to stand against. If there is any doubt as to the full efficiency of this engine, it is in the length of time it seems to take in getting up steam. Tilts, however, may perhups be remedied.” —N. Y. Cou. aad Enq.

The Butchers or Paris.—Mr. Walsh states that no butcher can carry on his trade in Paris with- out having purchased the patent or privilege of some

predecessor, aad this acquirement sometimes costs as much as thirty thousand francs. But admitting twenty thousand francs to be the average, and which is believed to lie near the truth, this absorbs from the five hundred butchers (the limited number in Paris, a dead capital of ten million* of francs, meiely for the privilege of trading-

The New York Express, a Whig j aper, says we wash eur hands, we may as well say here first as

last, clean of all intrigues, that would keep the cur-

rency question on the tapis for another Presidential election. We will have nothing to do with them in any manner and form. If the Whig party insist upon making a National Bank an issue, we will act with it, and do for it all we can, but we say beforehand, the contest will end in the re-establishment of the Hub-Treasury.

MOBILE i FRIDAY EVENING, PEfEMUER 24, 1841. j The Kastern mail this morning (ailed iroui beyond

Columbus (Geo.) We have been requested to give as wide a notice

us possible, to the public, that some friends of the

Protestant Orphan As>luin Society will wait upon them to-morrow, for contributions in aid of the funds of that admirable charity. It is the regular amumj appeal to the benevolent; on the results of which,the operations of the society during the year, depend; and it has been thought that this formofdirect appli- cation would be at least as productive to the fund for the orphan, as the usual mode of Fairs, and interfere less with the, aims of other meritorious associations. Kncli I as its peculiar claims upon its friends, but all

have that common claim upon the heart, which knows no distinction of sect or opinion—a claim pre- ferred without speech or utterance, by destitute in- 'ants, for shelter and nurture, in a world whereon

they have been cast, in tin providence of God, with- out natural protectors.

Such an appeal cannot be without a ready response in a community which, in the midst of its heaviest afflictions has never lost itw sensibility for suffering —or failed to give liberally from its means, to pur- poses of real charity.

We received a numl>cr of letters from Tuscaloosa this morning. We have read them over carefully, fo

extract what information they contain of legislative matters, being obliged to economise our space close!) to-day—and wc find among copious details of motions and movements, legislative political, little that is

of real action in UisimM^f tftc State. There are, li m^lr, dcvelopemeiits there, which

make us fear for the success of any measure at this

session, which will improve the Banks, or strengthen the financial system of the State. The Tax Bill in- troduced by Mr. James of Clarke, (and not as we

stated the other day, liv Mr. Jcmison of Tuscaloosa) has little chance for passing, arising from the ultraisin of u large party in the Legislature. The immediate destruction of the whole Slate Banking system is made, wo leaiu,an indispensable condition,!)) nearly all the \\ higs, to the voting of any tax Air the sup- port of the State, and the relief of the Bank* Irom that burden; and the Democrats have not strength and union among themselves, to dispose of such questions on their own responsibility. They are—though ma-

ny of them are opposed to the system, and nearly all

profess to be anxious to get rid of its glaring evils— unprepared with a substitute; unwilling to abolish it without one—and, with few exceptions, opposed to

rearing up private stock Banks to lake its place.— They have determined, we understand, to try the ex-

periment of altemping some more changes and im-

provements in the system, and let it Work a while longer. Some of them continue to doubt whether any efleclual restraints can be placed on the management —and whether it would not l>c better to meet the im-

portant question of a radical change of system, now.

We do not,|for ourselves believe in the expediency of any further faltering or delaying, or in the likelihood that this legislature can be induced to unite on any valuable improvements, and we think it not uuiikciy that the whole matter will be postponed to another year, when it will become necessary for the people themselves to talk strongly at the elections. Still it is hut right to add that some of our friends at Tusca- loosa believe that the suspended debt will be put into

commission, the Banks limited to dealing in exchange and business :p;i|>er jonly, state tax passed for slate

expenses and £tlic two^liundred thousand dollars an-

nual appropriation to the school fund repealed. We are not so sanguine, and we fear especially for the determination evinced by the leading Whigs to do nothing to relieve the system. We are told that the prospect of altering the crimi-

nal code in any material respect is not favorable. It is said also to be unlikely that the chancery sys-

tem will be abolished. A third district may be cre-

ated and the system modified ia some respects. 'Pile day of adjournment is unsettled. We shall publish in our next, several letters frem

mu friends, containing views that differ as much from

imporratit

Our readers will not have failed to perceive thai there have been one or two significant changes in the 1

constitution of the standing committees in the House of Representatives. The two important committees of Ways and Means, and Foreign Relations, have been re-organized so ns to give the (flay Whigs full con-

trol. Mr. Cushing, who was chairman of the Foreign Relations at the Extra session, has been displaced, and John Quincy Adams takes his place. The plac- ing of Mr. Adams, with his peculiar notions, on the ! committee, is a sign of the disposition of the dominant party against Southern interests. After having plac- ed Mr. Everett in England, to support, officially, against that arrogant propagandist of abolitionism, the rights of slaveholders, which he is committed in his own person, to deny—it is but fitting that the same

party should make one of kindred opinions, the legis- lative organ oi intercom se at home, on the same sub- jects. With Adams to speak the voice of Congress, in respect to slavery, and Everett to discuss it with the authors in England, of that abolition whose ex-

ample he tells us, worked his own conversion to the

practicability of immediate emcncipation—the rights of die South in die pending controversies with Eng- land, which relate to those interests, are likely to

have but scanty protection. There is hardly a phrase of odium w hich Lord Aberdeen might apply to the

| institutions of the southern United States, which he could not justify, hy quoting the published opinions of the American ambassador, and the official foreign organ of the American Legislature.

From the committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Rcnclier, a States-Riglu Whig, who retains a few of his ancient States right notions, has been removed because,at the extra session, lie was supposed to be unwilling to repeal the sub treasury,although opposed to it, until a substitute was agreed upon. He did not approve of Mr. Clay’s forcing game, to tear

away all the safeguards of the public money, and leave the country without any system at all, in order to compel the executive to take an imperfect plan; and therefore he was put out of the way of troubling Mr. Clay any more by such scruples. The committee is now constituted so as to give no chance for a “Fis- cality” except on the old Biddle plan, unless it pleases Mr. Clay to swop” it off, as Thus. F. Marshall says he did the Bank bills at the Extra session.

Notwithstanding these preparations for war upon Mr. Tyler, it is rumored in the politicalcirclcs at the North, that the Whigs may yet take the President’s plan; and that their caucusses at Washington, are

not yet determined whether to fight the President on

that issue, or to give him a virtual triumph there, and

gef up something else upon which to mount their chief for the Presidential race. Some of the “organs” will be sadly out of tune, if it should happen that the “orthodox” Whigs at Washington, give in to the President’s “Government Bank.”

A naval court martial for the trial of Cupt. Bolton of the Brandywine, assembled at Philadelphia on the 13th. The charge arises out of his hasty return from the Mediterranean. The court consists of Commo- dore Jacob Jones, President; Commodores John Downs, Henry E. Ballard, E. P. Kennedy, John B. Nicholson, W. B. Shubrick, and Captain Daniel Turner, members; Charles H. Winder, Esq. of Bab timore, Judge Advocate.

There is something of a stir in New York, in re-

lation to the exclusive religious establishment set

up on board of the Cunard steamers, as charged iu some letters published by ministers of different de- nominations. It is said that printed regulations are

posted ou hoard of theee vessels forbidding all per- sons bat clergymen of the Established Church, from conducting religious service, and then only once upon the Sabbath, and at no other time. No other reli- gious exercises are to be allowed on board.

ty to negro stealers, but hat directed a lugitivc from

The United Whig Party.—The following communication has been suit to us by one who was

present at the singular exhibition ol.Mr. Marshall at

Brown’s, and is vouched lor as to its truth; indeed, it hears on its facq such strong marks of versimili- t'lde that none can (doubt who arc familiar w ith the speaker's manner and feelings.—It exhibits the char- acter of Mr. Clay in such a strong and beautiful light that all will understand from it the movements of the whole Whig machinery of the extra session.—[Bal- timore Republican. HENRY CLAY AND THE HON. TilOS. MAR-

SHALL OF KENTUCKY. Sketch of the Hon. 1 liomus 1' Marshall, of Ky. at

Brown's Hotel, made on the evenin'; of Wednes- day the 8lh instant, in presence of forty or fifty gentlemen, all of whom can verify the following remarks and particularly the Hon. Mr. Mangum, of North Carolina, to whom they were chiefly ad- dressed. Mr. Marshall remarked in substance as follows:

“I came to Congress with the purest feelings and must patriotic motives, thinking alone of my country ami her welfare, but I had the misfortune to come

from a district formerly represented by Mr. Clay, and I soon saw it was expected that I should be nothing but a Clay-fixing— there never was a greater mistake —I was not the man to become a thing of Mr. Clay** fixing or any l> »dy else s fixing. 1 had been the best triend he ever had, and came here with the same

feelings of friendship for him. Well, I went into caucus with my party, and bukU firings na I saw there astonished me;—not a man a caucus thought of his country or patriotism, but at it they went tor Presi- dent making. Mr. Clay proposed that the Whig party in Congress should begin by calling on the Executive Department for its plan of a Bank. 1 opposed this because I thought it wrong to ask Department to

originate a measure which it was the duty of Congress to originate. But the thing was determined on, unJ when the Executive measure came, Mr. Clay woull not take it, but brought forward his own measure, and being the leader of his party, lie would not suflur any body else to speak in the {Senate, but for si: weeks he daily held forth and harangued on the Bind bill. All tliis time the House of Representatives lay low-—they had the gag upon their mouths, and nut a

man dnred say ** Barit** mice. At last Mr. Clay, find-

ing that he could not pass his bill and might make himself President by a compromise, came out nuJ

! surrendered every principle that was dear to his pai ty, lie swapped Ins principles for his chance of the Presi- dency—he agreed that the general government after passing its laws, was to be sent round bowin'and

i scraping, cap in hand, to each of the Slates for their consent. Gracious (Jod! what a compromise!—what a swapping was that! lie would swamp any thing on earth for the Presidency. He damned old John Q. Adams one day, and praised him the next, for the purpose of reaching the Presidency, but it won’t do— the American people won’t touch Henry Clay with a

forty foot pole—he can never be President during my natural life. Here Mr. Mangum interrupted Mr. Marshall, by saying—“d ** all true, whatever you say about that compromise, but the subject is too painful, and don’t let us talk about it.” Mr. Marshall replied “But I will talk about-1 like to talk about it. Well, sir, Mr. Clay got Tyler into what I call a fix- ing, and then he thought his game safe. You might suppose Mr. (’lay by his looks to say—“Have not l done the pretty thing, ami kicked up u dust?”

Why, sir, lie reminded me of the inflated Indian, who strutteil about saying—“Whoop, Captain John, big man me.” (It is* impossible to give any idea of the

irresistably droll and comic manner of Mr. Marshall as he represented Henry Clay in the swaggering of the conceited Indian. L is enough to say, that the room. ‘“7. mS: SI1HHlias

.v.. Jpl^^^WIIH^HWiead of every Kentuckian, but I have done wi th^WrnTtappers and compromisers as he. And in snyiug this, I may be putting a period to my own political rxisieuce, for when I go home 1 expect to find such of my constituents as Mr. Clay can influence rearing up against me. I can’t kelp it. I am honest, and have no personal ambition, though 1 take no creilit to myself for saying so, because there is not a dog iu Congress who does not continually say the same thing, Now look at Dank of Webster— poor fellow—Clay had him taken out the Senate where liis magnificent qualities shone in splendor for the last twenty years. Webster lias not dared to look at

Henry Clay and say his soul was his own.** Look at that man, the greatest that ever the Almighty^created with all those intellectual gifts which nature lias so

profusely lavished upon him—look at him—see him degraded and abused ; his character blasted and his hopes crushed, liecause lie wants the one great prin- ciple of personal courage to say, “here I am.** As for John Tyler, 1 can only say, that we have made but little progress as a republic if, after a career of more than fifty years, we have descended from George Washington as President to John Tyler. If we go on in that ratio where will we be fifty years henceT”

Out of the numerous auditory who listened to those public and eloquent remarks of Mr. Marshall, there could not be one who for a moment doubted the hon- esty of the man. Wild and reckless as he may be, and indeed as he acknowledged himself to be, there gleams forth in all that lie says, the highest lustre of a true chivalry, and the unquenchable fire, of a mind the truest, the boldest, the clearest, in its reasonings. It is plain that his spirit is too lofty and honest to fol- low the crooked ways of wily politicians.

“The reeil in storms may bow and quiver, “Then rise again—the tree must shiver.”

Upon the subject of the finances, the President has furnished the most satisfactory evidence, that there was no occasion for calling an Extra Session, in May last, to replenish the public Treasury, and that if the extra session had not been called, there would.have I been a balance of some two millions of dollars iu the I Treasury, on the first Monday iu January next.

He makes the estimated receipts on the Treasury, for the whole year, with the balance on hand, on the first of January last, to be $13,397,512 80, and the estimated disbursements for the same period, to a- mount to $32,025,070 80, leaving a deficit, on the first of next January, of $627,557 90.

Of the National Debt of twelve millions, created at the extra session, the sum of $5,432,726 88, has l>een raised, which is included in the amount of receipts into the Treasury, as above stated, and the question arises as to the amount of expenditures .made at the extra session, which inay he set down as nearly suffi- cient to {absorb this amount raised upon the twelve million loan; and selling off, one against the other, and throwing back the proceeds of the public lands into the Treasury, it follows, that if there had been no extra session, thcie would have been no deficiency in the Treasury, on the first of January next, because (here would have been no expenditures during the year to reader a public debt necessary, or to absorb its avails, and tbe proceeds of the public lands would not have been withdrawn from their proper channel.

It was the extra session which brought the Treasu- ry to its present condition, and which affords to the tariff party a plea to increase our burdens.—Standard of Union.

New Machinery for obtaining fresh Water by Distillation.—A French paper men- tions the making of some interesting experiments at the Jardin dm Plantes, by order of the Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, for testing anew the merits of the apparatus of Messrs. Fey re & Rocher, of Nantes, for distilling sea water, which ha* been in- troduced into use on board the corvette, the Aube, and on board twenty-seven merchant vessels. From the results of these experiments it was satisfactorily ascertained that the largest ships may be supplied with fresh water, by the use of this apparatus.

The new Paper.—The first nuinlier of the “In- dependent,” the new' paper to lie published at Wash- ington, by Mr. Pleasants, late of the Richmond Whig, is daily exacted. It is understood in the po- litical circles there that this paper will take the most violent ground against the administration of Presi- dent Tyler. Whatever may by its pol'tical course, there can lie little doubt that it will be conducted with vigor and ability.

Antharcite Iron Cannon.—A large ctiiiioii was recently cast at the foundry of Messrs, Fatsinger and Salkeld, at Mauclt Chunk, Pa. which is said to be as smooth and strong as if it had been cast of char- coal iron. It has been tested, says the Mauch Chunk Courier, with a double charge of powde.1, and ever) means to prove it effectually. We lielieve this is the first cannon cast in the United States with Antharcite Iron, and have no doubt but in u short time Anthar- cite will supersede cliarcoarl irou for almost every purpose.

'itJBt. The Cotiqtlclt nnJ possession of f n*’i:t by British

enterprise, after n vast expea liture of blood of trea-

sure, opened a wide am! extensive field of employ- ment for British subject'.

The first expedition to India was undertaken in the year 1601, uadar Copt. Lancaster, who returned to

England in 1603, after a successful voyage, with valuable corgi*** of India produce. The East India Company afterwards monopolized the trade of the vast Indian Empire, great accessions having been made to th«ir possessions, under the Governor Generalships of Lord Clive, Warren Hastings, and Lord Cornwallis.

Lord Cornwallis was appointed Governor General ! of India after the surrender ut York Town, that dis- ! aster to British arms not having lost him influence at Court, nor materially impaired the strength of his aristocratic connections. Warren Hastings as is well known, was impeached in 17S8 for hit'll crimes and misdemeanors committed during his administra- tion in India.

The East India Company, originally* incorporated for purposes of trade, terminated its commercial character in 1834. By the act of William the 4tli for continuing its charter till 1834, its functions are

wholly political, and they arc to govern under the supervision of the Board of Control, 100,000,001) of British subjects. They have at their command an

army of 200,000 men, and an annual territorial revenue of #0,000,000, which is equal to that of some of the most powerful monarchies of Europe.

The progress of the Cotton culture in India, and the steps now being taken for its improved and ex- tended cultivation in that great empire are calculated to arrest the attention of the Cotton growing regions of the South- The statauients on this subject in the annexed extracts from foreign journals, contain grave matter for the South.

[From ills Bombay Time*, June 23, 1841.] Production of Cotton in India.—On examining into

the supplies of Cotton brought to this maikct during the twelve months ending the 31st of May, we find that the result is well calculated lo astonish those who have not been marking the progressive increase of ibis product, but lias been dwelling with fancied security on the recollections of what used to constitute a large supply for us, viz: 200 to 250,000 Inles. It appears, then, that from the first of June 1840, to the first of June 18 41, the imports of Cotton into Bombay have amounted to 174,212,755 pounds; or on tlio previous average, of 3^ cu t., to the bales, 473,606 bales, little short of half a million of screwed bales. This is a larger quantity than America produced up to the year 1826, and more than was consumed in England during the same year. In 1825, the entire product of the United States amounted to only 169,- 806,000 pounds, though twelve years after it had reached 44,214,537 pounds—Vi le McC’a Diet.

As a further encouragement to the cultivators, we

may state that the consumption of East India Cotton in Great Britain has increased in u greater ratio than that of any quality whatever. In 1816, at which pe- riod the average of American Upland was lS^d, and Surat at 15jd, all the consumption of American was

1,036 hales, and East Indian 207 bales per week. In 1839, whan the average price of Upland was 7£ and Surat at 5jd,the consumption of American was 15,- 644 bales, and East Indian 2112 bales per week ; the increase, in 23 years of the last mentioned, being in the ratio of 1 to 18. In the same period, the con-

sumption of Egyptian, Brazil, and West India varie- ties has not doubled.

I From the London Literary Gazette. Sept. 14, 1841.] Indian Products and Manufactures.—

Co Aliened with this subject, we rejoice to see that measures are being successfully taken to form a na- tional intercommunication of valuable products and manufactures between England and her mighty east- ern empire. This lias been long and most strangely neglected; and it would have been well worth while to establish a board of commission, with government influence and authority, ta direct and superintend so

important a concern. As it is, the stimulus appends to have been given by the committee 011 trade, &c.

j emanating from the Boy a I Asiatic Society, whose proceeding has had a most I1e11elici.nl effect both ut home and in India. We now learn that experiments on tin cultivation of rollon are promising the greatest re-mik; nnd that other branches of industry are all being!improved and promoted by European skill and eneoirugement. 'Pile Himalayan fine has been accli- mate., and found extensively useful; anil the “pro- digious” lucerne, and other nutritious grasses, of which travellers have spoken in such high terms of pruisi, are also introduced w ith every prospect of adding much to our agricultural prosperity. Teas, coffees, silks, and hundreds of fruits, gums, dyes, medcine.*, and other precious articles of commerce reins in yet lo he cultivated, and iuterchunetd in abun dance, to the incalculable advantage of both countries.

We have now in tho Mediterranean,” gays the Globe, (of Paris) 13 sail of the line; six more have

! gone Loin Toulon to Cherbourg; 14 other armed ves- sels, irinc.ipally frigates, are at sea; and we have

| besides, all ready for sea, 20 corvettes of thirty to 1 sixteen guns, 32 brigs of twenty to ten guns, 30 ilolilla. boats, 28 transports, and 30 war steamers.”

Extraordinary Phenomena.—We are not much given to the marvellous, and wo will not be much surprised if some of our readers doubt the truth of the following, but we can assure them that it is true, ev- ery word of it. There is a Miss in this city, n resi- dent of an adjoining comity, about 13 years of age, from whose thumb there has appeared, for some weeks past, divers hairs, bristles, &c. tome of them as long as twenty-six inches, and others shorter. This was the story we heard a day or two since, and we laughed at the wonderful credulity of our infor- mant. It is, however, true—for we have seen the young lady and have witnessed the growth of hair. There is nothing extraordinary in the appearance of the thumb, am' she says the growing of the hair gives her no uneasiness w hatever. The hair comes out of the inner side of the thumb, sometimes from under the nail, generally, however, from the ball. Some of the hair is as soil as the hair of the head, and some as

tough as bristles, varying in color, sue and length. The growth is very rapid, and when it is removed from the thumb, it leaves no impression whatever in the part from which it springs, we are informed by Dr. Gibney, who resides in the same town with this young lady, that on 8unriuy last thirty appeared dur- ing the day. A nmni>er of scientific gentlemen have examined the thumb and the hair, but are all utterly at a loss to account for the phenomena.—Lixington intelligencer.

highwayman,” observed Milligan. “Why sol” “It is a lawyer and a doctor—your money or your life.” —Globs.

A l. 1 JaTsLE CO I TON LAM> IN SOUTII ALABAMA, FOR SALE.—The subscriber,

administrator of the estate of William Smith, de- ceased, oilers for sale two large and valuable Planta- tions, on the A al uma river, about 12 miles above Selina, und 23 miles below Montgomery. One of them is in the county of Autauga, containing eigh- teen hundred acres,of which from seven to eight hun- dred acres are in cultivating, bountifully supplied with water foi plantation purposes, and for stock, by a never failing stream, running entirely through the

plantation. That portion of the tract which, is not

under cultivation, is well timbered and principally cotton land, of the very best quality for the culture of cotton nnd corn.

The other tract is situated in the county of Dallas, in the bend of the Alabama river, generally known

by Durand’s Bend—containing about fourteen hun- dred acres, nine hundred of which are in cultivation. J This tract is also well supplied with timber and wa-

ter, and is of the best quality of coiton land. Both these plantations are bounded, and divided

from each other, by the Alabama liver; they are now

in a state ofhigli cultivation, with comfortable dwel- lings, gin-houses and other necessary bnildings on

each, lit for immediate use. The quality of the soil, the easy access to market by the Alabama river, the southern latitude, and the character of the popul- ation in the two counties of Dallas und Autauga, af- ford great inducements to capitalists desirous of en-

gaging m the culture of the great staple of the south The crops this year, it is supposed, will produce 450 to 500 bales of 500 poueds each, cultivated by sixty three hands.

The stock of corn, fodder nnd oats, now on the plantations, the hogs and cattle, bucksmitli's tools and farming utensils, are aise offered lor sale. Pos- session given at the end of the year.

Persons wishing to purchase, can apply to Mr. R. H. Gaston, at the landing on the river, adjoining the

Autauga plantation, who will show the premises; or

to me at my residence in Huntsville during the sum- ^ mer, nnd at New Orleans during the winter. The terms, for either or both of the plantations, will bo

quiurfadvantageous. MEREDITH CALIIOUN. ikK27 Pr. fee .*30 QO- The Charleston Courier, Richmond Enquirer
