"Freedom's battle once begun,Though Iwiifled oft, is ever won."
J.Alas for Hungary' prostrate and chained,
Beneath the feet of despots low she lies.She, who flung wide her banner to the skit*,
By conquest gilded and by valor stained;What! shall her cause no longer be maintained?
Must she, deserted, grovel in the dust,Without one boon from generous Freedom gained?
Forbid it. Heaven! Forbid it, faith and trust
In virtue, courage, constancy, and allThat most ennobles men, resolved to win
Most glorious victory, or, fighting, fall <
In the red midst of liattle's wildest din.t'Tis not in hearts so brave to quail or yield,jWhile Uie broad laud holds one unconquered field,

No! step by step shall she again achieveThe mighty independence that belongsTo men impatient of Oppression's wrongs.
And resolute to triuinpb more than grieveO'er dark misfortune. Sin shall nobly heave
The burden from her breast, and stand once moreProudly amid the nations famed of yore.
And a brt.'hi memory to the future leave.Kossuth survive*.hi* hero soul still beat*
Invincible, and patriot armies sendBold, martial -trains front their unsealed retreats,
Vowing* to fight victorious to the end.Where glow such hopes, where burn such high desires.Nor cloud nor storm can quench fair Freedom's

Export and Preservation of BreadstnffaTheexport of breadstuffs from the United Statesto Great Britain and Ireland is steadily on the increase.From September 1st, 1H48, to July of thepresent year, the export of corn was 11,472,017bushels against 3,3Hb,b36 during the correspondingperiod of toe year prev ious. In the quantity ofwheat and Hour sent to England, the grain is equallylarge. Whatever com pi tition the latter may encounterin British markets from continental or
home-grown wheat, American corn and meal, ifdelivered in good order, must be cheaper, one yearwith unother, than any other article of humanfood of equal nutritive value. In one hundredpounds ol potatoes there are seventy-five poundsof water. This renders potatoes more liable to rot,and a more precarious means of subsistence thanthe seeds of cereal plants. The latter will aloneform good bread; and hereafter they must constitutethe main dependence of the poor and laboringp«tiple of Ireland and Great Britain for daily consumption.All parties there now concede .that thelower da-sea should be provided with ways andmeans, mm*how. to command more of the comfortsof civilization than they hitherto have enjoyed.We have great faith in the maxim, "where thereis a will there is a way
" The British empire isundergoing a social revolution of no small momentto the agricultural interests of this country. It isbarely possible that the production of public pauperson a magnificent scale may continue a yearor two longer; but the turning point, if not alreadyreached, soon will be.Hiacxwooa a magazine ior juiy contains an interestingand instructive article under the expressivetitle, "The Crowning "f the Column and the
Crushing of the Pedeitai." From this we le&rn thatthe poor-rates of England have reached the immensesum of £7,000,(XX) a year; and that oneseventhof its entire population are now supportedby (he parish rate's. The whole poor-rate* for England,Scotland and Ireland for the last year were
£9,460,757 ; or about forty-seven and a half millionsof dollars. "The poor rates of Glasgow,which five years ago did not exceed £30,000 a
year for the parliamentary city, have now reached£200,000, viz Glasgow parish, £<X),000; Barony,£70,000; Gorbals, £40,000. total, £200,(XX)." Letthe independent and comparatively untaxed Americanfarmer realize the condition of society in a
city where one million qf dollar » are required to supportits public paupers a year!Had American corn meal arrived at British ports
in a sound condition, and in no degree impaired bykiln-drying, the consumption of this food would bedouble what it now is. To learn a nation to eat andlove tins great staple ofthe Union, with which it isunacquainted, we should not begin by sending sourand musty meal, to offend both the taste and smellof our new customers.

THE REPUBLIC.WASHINGTON:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 12, 1849
The Timet.
Wise, indeedj beyond their generationare they who can look coldly upon thecommotions into which the public mindis thrown by the collisions of party or
the events which shape the destiniesof Christendom. Happy are they whocan contemplate without emotion the contestswhich undermine the fate of administrations,the crises which shape the policiesof governments, or the struggleswhich seal the doom of civilization. Theconcentration of stoicism which maintainsan icy equilibrium amidst the tempest whichsways the opinions, nay the passions ofmen.passions which result in actions affectingfor weal or wo the happiness, thefortunes, and the liberties of teeming millions.isa spiritualization which we maywonder at, if not admire, in the abstract,if we cannot hope to emulate it in practice.Full many a headache does that manescape who can walk in the focus of popularclamor and excitement without heed:.i :_ :_i » i i LuiK men iiiieui, <mu a> maii^ a ueanacne
he who can witness the throes of a newbornimpulse of liberty without sympathyin its success. It is safe to lift one's headabove the things which agitate and convulsesociety; it is a privilege to smootheone's brow perpetually in empyrean dew,whilst others toil, and sweat, and heave, tocast from them burdens too grievous to beborne. The spirit which is too sublimatedto be disturbed by element* that sweep theearth and the people w ho are upon it, willfind sleep while others mourn ; and theheart which excludes from its sympathywhatever concerns not itself directly, w illbeat gently when others are bursting.
ft is, perhaps, in the hopelessness of attainingan isolation of soul so intense as t
defy the influences which impress themselvesuf»on the times in which we live,that we content ourselves with the Providencewhich cast us in the temper of othermen. It is in obedience to this infirmityof common people, which we must fainacknowledge, that we have taken part inthe discussions which concern this country;and have felt a deep and, we trust, a
justifiable interest in the catastropheswhich awaited others. We could not see
a brave old patriot, who had entwined thenati iiiale»cutclieon with its irreenest leaves.traduced, and misrepresented, and scoffed
| at, without having a word with the scorner*.Nor could we witness the attemptto hlacken and disparage an administrationfor the purpose of withdrawing thepublic mind from the malfeasance of it*
predecessor*, without exposing the strat|egy o( an implacable and truculent oppo;sition. Perchance^ in doing this duty.for,looking at the progress of events fiom a
level with other men, we so consider it.we may have added something to the excitementof party strife; but it is not forus to withdraw from the contest, thoughthe Opposition tender battle upon term*which engender heat. They elected themode of warfare, and they had to be met,or else allowed to ride rough-shod over a

equal lights which have made the greaterpart of Europe a scene of strife. Norshall we be ashamed of the sympathywhich we entertained for the insurrectionarymasses, who periled themselves for a
glimpse of liberty, should the reactionaryvictories of late end in the catastrophe towhich they tend. If they did not succeed,they at least deserved to do so : unlessit be a crime to hope for and to fightfor liberty because those who fell in hercause were unable to comprehend all herbeauties.

sleep so long again.The same sympathy with what is around
and about us, which induced us to exposeand repel the assaults of the Opposition inthis country upon the Administration of a
wise and patriotic citizen, has impelled us
to express indignation at the conduct of a
representative of the United States abroad,who has invoked the Cossack to crush thenationality of Hungary and extinguish thetorch of liberty wherever it burns in Europe.In the hereditary institutions of thecountry, in the traditions of centuries ofobedience, in the wasting of long acquiescenceunder oppression, the masses ofEurope have enough to contend against,without the prestige of the opposition of a
representative of the United States beingthrown into the balance of despotism. Injoining the league of Legitimists and Absolutists,Mr. Walsh misrepresented theGovernment of the United States, andevery man in it, except perchance thoserare and ethereal spirits whose bodies onlyare on earth, whilst their heads are ever inthe cool of the blue welkin. Such may,indeed, look calmly upon the apostacy ofFrance, philosophically upon the degradationof Rome, and complacently upon thedesecration of Hungary But of thes6 thereare not enough m the United States to be

Tht Censure of General Taylor'* Conductat Monterey.
It gives us much regret to have beeninstrumental in wounding the feelings ofMr. McLanf.'8 friends to the extent we
have done by our paragraph of last week.We can heal them only by correcting inthe broadest manner the false impressionwhich the paragraph was calculated to produce. To suppose that there was any design,on the part of the person who sentit to us for publication, to make a misstatement,is only absurd. The only possible reparation, however, that can bemade we have made. We have statedthat Mr. McLane served in the army sixor seven years after leaving West Point.We will add that he served with credit.Furthermore, we have stated that Mr.McLane did not vote for the resolution ofJacob Thompson censuring the conductof (Jeneral Tatlor at Monterey. We willadd that, so far from having done so, Mr.McLane approved of General Taylor'sconduct on that occasion; and that it was
/us immediate predecessor, ami not himself,who voted for the proviso in question.The friends of Mr. McLane show a
\ery proper resentment, in view of whatthey consider an opprobrious charge. TheUnion repels it with the same Billingsgateterms which the junior editor employedthe other day to stigmatize a journalwhich had accused Mr Burke of beingthe author of an article which appearedin his own columns. Mr. Burke protestedthat he was not the author, and abusedthe person who accused him of it, in languagewhich he would have used, probably,to any one who had charged himwith nirLincr a norkft The artirle wau

vile enough, no d ubt; and Mr. Burkewas right in repelling with indignationthe charge of having written it; but thedisplay of anger wan but a left-handedcompliment to Mr. Ritchie, or the other14 young and vigorous mind" associatedwith Mr.- Ritchie in conducting theUnion.So the indignation which Mr. Burke
and the friends of Mr. McLane now show,at the idea of his being charged with votingfor Jacor Thompson's proviso, in allright; wr appreciate it.we nympathi/.ewith it.we like to «ee it. We nhouldhave felt very much in the same way ourselves,if we had been accused or suspectedof having done the same thing,But what a left-handed compliment it is tothe one hundred and ten Locofocos whovoted for that same proviso! What a left.handed compliment is this indignant re
pudiation to Mr. McLane's immediatei jwedecessor in Congress.whose name ap

THE REPUBLIC.to its senses with regard to the abuse andoutrage with which it has loaded GeneralTaylor, from the day it became probablethat the people would select him as
their candidate for the Presidency. Locofocoismnow sees and feels that it woulddeservedly injure a man's political prospectsto be supposed capable of havingvoted with Jacob Thompson on his infamousproviso; and yet how many Locofocosin the House, on its passage, venturedto dissent from its propriety? Wehave seen no tribute to General Taylor'sgreat and growing popularity which compares,in emphasis and significance, wilhthe anxiety evinced by Mr. McLane'sfriend* to be relieved from the chargeof having voted with his party for thatproviso, and the acquiescence of the Locofocopress in the idea that, if true, it oughtto injure Mr. McLanc with the people.Twelve months will not pass over our
heads before Locofocoism will arrive at a
similar conclusion with regard to all theother abuses and outrages of which GeneralTaylor has been, and continues to be,the subject.
Thr Wage* of Labor.
We find in the Union of the 11th instantthe following paragraph, copied from theEat/ton (Pa.) Jlrtrusy a Democratic paper,without comment:The good Tavlor times..Sixty cent* a day!.
We have received two letters from Catasuuquu, Lehighcounty, informing us that the wages of manyof the hands working at the Crane Iron Works havebeen reduced from sevkntv to SIXTY cent* a day!Ab our informant** arc respectable men, there can
be no doubt about the fact, and we presume thatour amiable friend, Mr. Thomas, will scarcely denyit this time. Is this a speeimen of the "good times"we were (o have under the Taylor Administration ?
This is one of the blessings of the tariffof 184b. The farther we carry out thenotions of the Free-trade school.the greaterthe extreme to which we push the doctrinethat the sum of human wisdom is to
"buy cheap and sell dear''.the nearer we
shall bring the wages of American industryto the pauper standard of Europe. Inthe tariff of 1846, capital has got the betterof labor. The consuming classes haveoutwitted the producing classes. The capitalist finds that his money will buy more;the laborer, that his toil will sell for less.This is all right, says the Free-trader.thatis the very state of things which ought toexist, when you can buy the most laborwith the least money.The only wonder is, that the iron-master
is able to pay sixty cents a day to laborers,under the state of things produced by thetariff of 1846. The present stagnation inthe iron interest of Pennsylvania has beenthe consequence of that act.an act passedby men who defrauded the people of thatState into the belief that in voting for Polkand Dallas they were voting for the tariffof 1842 it is estimated that upwards ofseven millions of dollais are taken fromthe wages of the colliers, miners, furnacemen, and other laborers dependent uponthe iron trade, by the\perniciou» operationof the tariff of 1846 Pig-iron, which was
in demand in 1845 at $37 per ton, is nowsold at $'20. Railroad iron, which was
worth $67 50 per ton, is now reduced belowthe price of profitable manufacture.Is it strange, then, that the value of laboris proportion ably diminished ?The 44 good times" that we are now enjoying.withwages reduced to sixty cents
a day.are a part of our inheritance fromthe last administration. It would be aboutas sensible in the Opposition journals tothrow the responsibility of the recent defalcationsupon General Taylor, as to visithim or his Administration with responsibilityfor the 44 good times." The defalcationsresult from the character of the44 men" employed by the late dynastyThe 44 good times," with wages at sixtycents a day, result from the character ofits 44 measures." It is by a change of44 men" that the Whigs are to improvethe morals of office. It is by a change of44 measures" that the Whigs are to improvethe 44 times." It is by the changeboth of men and measures that they hope,under the auspices of President Taylor,to 44 check the downward tendency of affairs,"and re-tore the prosperity of thecountry.
Thr lrl|>U-HraHrH Coalition.
The article that follows, for which we
are indebted to the Boston Daily ~idvtr/wer,discusses the triple coalition betweenthe Kree-Soiler», Abolitionists, and Locofocos,whose professed object is to breakdown the Administration of 44 PresidentTanoa, the southern slaveholder." Wecannot but rejoice that this base and disgustin^ coalition has been signally rebukedin Vermont and Rhode Island. In boththose States ihe Whig party proper havetriumphed by signal majorities over thecombined forces of the Opposition. Wecommend the article we copy from theJldrrrtiser to the especial attention of our
readers.THE COALITION.
Tl» great political question of the day, on the solution«.f w hi' h apparently depend, more than on
any other event, the future destinies of the country,is. what will he the result of the double coalition, nownegotiating. between the three parties opposed tothe Administration. Theobject of this attempted eonlition M to break down the present Administration,for tli/ purpose of founding a new Darty on its ruina.til other political qtrcstionsare, for the present, alm«slin abeyanre, from the reliance which is placedby the Democratic, the Abolition, and tiie Free Noilpart ten, on the combined effort which they are now
making to overthrew the Whig party. The indiffcreru. with which principles, hitherto strenuouslyadhered to by the members of these partisa, appearto be now regarded, and the earnestness with whichmen, but recently professiiufdirei tly opposite prtncipbs,now co operate for the attainment of thisobjeel, naturally eacite surprise
It is gratifying to observe, from the signal failureof tb< attempted coalition, in the late elections inRhode lulanrt and Vermont, that there is a repug.
-1 ta^.. ..t i" '!»# f)mpfW*-f| pwi nr -r * rl i < lirimin-u

What ia particularly atrikiag in thia coalition ia,that leading men who enter into it for the purpnaeof overthrowing the eaiatin# Adminietralion. donot perceive the danger of coalearinff for the attainmentof thia object, with men with whom, if they
are honest in their own professions, they know theyhall not be able to co-operate in carrying intoeffect any system of government, should they succeed,by their joint efforts, in overthrowing thatwhich already exists.How far one of the parties to thia uew junction of
force* ia willing to go in sacrificing principle*,measures, and men, to a temporary success, maybe aeen by the resolution* of the New York StateDemocratic Convention, which we published yesterday.A committee ia authorised to withdraw thenames of the gentlemen nominated for certain of-fices, if the Free-Soil Convention at Utica shalladopt as its nominees the remainder of the Democraticticket. The party represented at Syracusehave thus not only made up their minds to surrenderto temporary expediency the only objectsfor which it was worth while for them to establishan organization, but have delegated to a committeethe power of making bargains as to the persons whoshall be their candidates. Union built up in thismanner is nothing but the beginning of confusion,as has been seen recently in the cases to which wehave alluded, and should have been well known l>efore.Another exhibition of this attempt upon the part
of leaders to unite different elements to form a coin-
pound of which no one of them is an essential or
controlling part, is to be found in the attempt tooppose the Whig candidate, in t.h« only congrea-sional district now remaining unrepresented iuMassachusetts Free-Soil in shaking hands withAbolitionism, and it seems to be hoped tliat themutual politeness may induce even old-fashionedand "unterrificd" democracy to join in the conclave.»On the basin of a love for " Free Soil," it seems
to be intended to form a party, which, regardlessof all other interests, objects, or principles, shalldefeat the hope of giving the existing National Administrationa majority in Congress. No otherbond of union is offered than the one cry in whichthe two organizations of Abolitionists.opposingand hating each other.are willing to unite. It isthe cry deprecated by Washington in that oftenquotedprophetic passage of his farewell address, inwhich ne warned us against sectional'parties andgeographical divisions. It is thecry of disunion.The project of the parties to whom we allude, if
they have any consistency, or any hope in theirpresentcon test,cannot wcllfallshort of that ofa dissolutionof the Union. When Mr. Palfrey made it aturning-point with regard to his vote for Speaker,whether or no Mr. Winthrop would privately pledgehimself to use his official position, if elected, to drawa sectional line between two portions of thecountry; nay, before that, when the same geutlnmanthrew as a firebrand into the Whig conventionthe naked proposition that we would not vote for a
slaveholder, this cry of disvnion was raised.We have no disposition to be alarmists, and there
is no occasion for immediate alarm in this case,because the good sense of the people will counteractthe intended mischief. It cannot, however, beconcealed that the movements attempted in Vermontand Rhode Island, after having been partiallysuccessful in Connecticut, and now to be once moretried here in the Middlesex district, are fraughtwith danger to our institutions, or at least foundedin opposition to them. The foundation of a partyfor national purposes upon a basis from which a
large part of the nation is necessarily and unavoidablyexcluded, iB of itself a grave matter and a

Maryland The Third CongressionalDistrict.
We publish below (says the BaltimorePatriot) an address to the voters of thethird district, from Mr. G. W. Gray, theWhig candidate for Congress in that district.Mr. Gray is a gentleman of finetalents, and an accomplished scholar, ofmuch political experience, an eloquent ahdforcible speaker, fearless in the expressionof his sentiments, and in every respectqualified to give vigorous and manly supportto the Administration.7b the votert of the Third. Cvngrrttional Diatriet.Fkllow-Citizsns : You hnvc already been notifiedof my nomination by the Whig convention
which assembled in the city of Hultimore on the1st instant.a nomination unsolicited and whollyunexpected by me.the result of the spontaneousaction of your delegates. 1 have never sought politicaladvancement or official station; but if an
ardent attachment to the interests of the Htate andof the nation, and an unshaken reaolution to dischargefaithfully whatever duty may devolve uponme, can entitle ine to your cordial support, I pledgethem with confidence and without hesitation.
Believing that the welfare of our beloved countrywill be amply secured by the Administration towhich the sovereign voice ofthe people lias entrustedthe reins of government, I shall endeavor to sustainit with all the ability and energy I posses*.
It is known that Uie present Chief Magistrate was
not my first choice. My heart was too firmly boundby the cords of affection to the venerable Sage ofAshland, to admit of any other preference; but,having in early life buckled on the Whig armour,and stotal firm in the ranks through long years ofdarkness, defeat, and disaster, I could not faulter,or hold back, when the Whig banner was placed inthe hands of one so worthy to receive it, a* the heroof Monterey ami Hunii Vista.General Taylor has but just entered upon the dischargeof those responsible duties which your suffrageshave contributed to inip<iar upon hiin. Hi*
triumph* on the bloody fields of Mexico are stillfreah in your memories. His wis<ioni, his virtues,his honesty, bis true republican simplicity, are wellknown, and for these he has been promoted by a
grateful nation. He has done nothing to cool theardor of his friends, or to induce a withdrawal ofconfidence. No objectional line of policy has beenindicated, and every thing pr<Miu«ea well for the futore. Having put your hand to the plough, willyou now stop and leave the furrow but half turned?Shall he be trammelled by a majority opposed to
every measure he may favor or recommend ? Is itreasonable, is it just, that he should be condemnedwithout an impartial trial? Aid, then, in givinghim a working majority in the House of Repriwentalives; and while he so proudly upbears the standardunder which be entered the campaign of l*4H,let it advanre to the honor and glory of the republic.Very respectfully,

UcMiml AthmuuuGoat-ml Avezxaua, now attracting no much attentionin New York for hi* services in the cauee ot ^
Italian freedom, it appear*, i* not a mere man of anhour, but one who ha* ibr a long time been conspicuousin more than one country. He served inthe Italian army of Napoleon, and, alter the Congressof Vienna, entered the service oi Piedmont, inwhich he soon became a superior or field-officer. Atthe era of the Italian commotions of 18511, Avezzanawas one of the most active and daring in the insur|rection, and on its repression tied to Spain, into themilitary service of which country he was received,aud a few month* after made gfjt dr balulione. Thepopular cause having failed in Hpuin, Avexzanuwent to Mexico, then engaged in her contest ugainstSpain for independence. After participating in thealternations of tlio fortunes of that country, Avezzanu was made by Santa Anna a colonel, in whichgrade he won much distinction. When, however,Santa Anna unveiled his de*ign* ugainst the libertiesof Mexico, Avezzana opposed him, and in thelong- siege of I ainpieo commanded the constitu1tionulist troops.Some years after tin; capitulation of Tainpico, lie
established himself in New York, became a citizen,and engaged in mercantile pursuits. While therehe organized the guurdia ltuliana, and, liaving beenchosen president of the tociela ltuliana di benificrnza,spent a large portion of his private fortune on thehundreds of exiles who, at that crisis, were drivenfrom Italy to America.On the breaking out of the Piedinonteae difficultiesa year since, he determined again to return to
Italy; and, notwithstanding the news of the disasterwhich he received in France, he hurried thither,and after twenty years of exile was appointed byCharles Albert commander-in-chief of the NationalGuard of Genoa. Some two months since we publishedan account of his gallant services in Piedinout,and of their disastrous finale, after whichAvezzana went to Rome, and the Triumvirs was
(
appointed minister of war and marine. In this caIparity he often fought at the head of the troops; and011 me surrender ol UM* city wu driven again t<>America.These services in behalf of his native land and of
liberty arc the occasion of the tribute so gracefullypaid him a few days since by his compatriots andthe Hungarians in New York.
Literary NoticeHlacku ood's Magazinefor August, 1849. Leonard
Scott & Co. From Taylor & Maury.Wc have received this sterling magazine some
days after time, though we see by southern papersthat it has been commented on by those who, inthe ordinary course of events, would have receivedit after us. The paper on Charles Lamb, withwhich the number opens, will be read with pleasureby the admirers of that pleasant essayist, (and, much as has been written on the vie intimc ofElia, will throw light on him and his associates.There is also a pleasant-tempered article on Mr.Melvelle's Kaloolah, and a striking review of UniIartine's Revolution of 1848, written with power, buttinctured with the opinions for which Blackwoodhas so long been famous. The above, a continua;turn of the Ca xtonh, ofChristopher under canvass,an account of the insurrection in Baden, and a fewlighter articles, make up the number.
Bermuda and the West Indies.The Great Western arrived at New York on the
Hth instant, from Bermuda, St. Thomas, Chagres,etc. She brought files from St. Thomas to the '29thultimo, and the Bermuda Royal Mail to the 4th instant.The suinir rron at HHrhmlnM Imil h«on
tamed to be good, and Uie amount of the yield of ,
the island was estimated at 33,000 hogsheads sugar,and 10,587 puncheons of molasses. The groundplanted for the coming season is greater than everbefore, and 40,000 hogsheads are not thought an ex
travagant estimate of the export of next year.The St. Louis Palladium, of August 26th, has
these remarks upon the sugar crop of this and thepast year:"From the 1st of January to the 21st instant, tin
exports amount to 3,860 hhds. 178 trs. and 1,953bins, of sugar, 717 puns molasses, and 12 puns rum.Compared with the exports of the correspondingdatelast year, this account exhibits a surplus of 309hhds. 100 trs. 388 bbls. sugar, 286 puns molasses,and a decrease of 59 puns rum. After the 21st of '
August last year, two vessels. Castries and Ruby,took the residue of the crop, which amounted to atotal of 4,089 hhds. 78 trs. and 1,673 bbls..equal inall to 4,420 hhds. of sugar, 574 puns of molasses, and107 puns of rum. Now the two vessels at presentreceiving cargo, the Monarch and Osbert, will probablytake 450 hhds., which, with the addition of atleast 150 hhds. which are likely to await the latervcssels, would bribg up the total sugar crop of 1848to about 6,000 hhds., or about 500 hints. over the ex- >
ports of last year."In Jamaica the elections for the assembly were
nearly over, and it seems that the retrenchmentparty, opposed to the colonial executive government,have obtained a majority.The Bermuda (iaxrtU, of Aug. 4th, says:"The R. M. 8. P. Trent, Capt. Clark, from llKGulfof Mexico, Nassau, tic.., arrived on Saturdaylast, with the undermentioned freight: $ 1,243,000.30 bales cochineal, 83 cases of cigars, and 21 case*
pines."The Royal .Mail says:" Mr. Watlington, owner of the brig GoldenRule, is on the eve of proceeding to Madeira, for
the purpose of procuring from among the peasantryof tiiat island about fifty persons, who may be willingto emigrate to Bermuda. A number of individuulsconnected wiUi .igriculture and trade, aswell as the heads of families, have agreed with MrWatlington to take the emigrants into their employmentfor a term of years, on their safe arrivalnere."
