intention to charter a steamer and proceed direct to Charleston, S. C., accompanied by their professor, Dr. P. A. Aylett. Commerce of South Carolina. A commercial writer, in a New York paper, makes a pertinent reply to a late article in the Charleston Mercury in reference to the prospective commerce of South Carolina as an independent Power. We extract as follows: "The Mercury commits some obvious, though not unnatural errors. Vessels sailing from Charleston for Liverpool or Havre, after as before the 18th December, will be required before they can discharge cargo in either of those ports to present a proper clearance, signed by a United States officer. If they have no such clearance they will probably be seized and detained as suspicious craft. Neither the Government of Great Britain nor that of France will recognize any South Carolina collectors. South Carolina is not and will not for some time be known in Europe as an independent nation. And any vessel which go

Emigration to Central America. --The Central American States are making vigorous efforts to promote the settlement of their vacant territory by liberal grants of land to families emigrating to their country, and also by assisting industrious persons in Europe who have not the means of removal, but who are willing to undertake the journey. The last accounts from England state that Senor Guitierrez, Minister of the Government of Salvador at the English Court, has a contract, through his agent in Paris, with sixty families removing from the Continent to that State, and has chartered a vessel to convey them from Havre to Aspinwall. The Government grant to each family one hundred and fifty acres of land, and hope in this way to increase their industrial resources, and thus add to their material prosperity. There is a similar project on foot for a colony in Honduras.

apers, this uneasiness is betraying itself in something like rioting dispositions. A number of the Moniteur, published several days before the dispatch referred to, says, "Barcelona, which is a manufacturing city, begins to feel some of the effects of the crisis in America. Cotton, which is the raw material of its manufactories, is becoming rare and costly. A deputation of manufacturers has gone to Madrid to pray, among other things, for a reduction of the duty on cotton." The Havre Chamber of Commerce recently wrote a letter to the Minister of Commerce to express hopes that measures would be taken to protect French interests in the present state of American polities. He replied: Paris, May 23, 1861. Gentlemen: You did me the honor on the 4th inst. to treat of the hostilities which have commenced between the two sections (fractions) of the old (ancients) American Union, and the first measures which have been their consequences.

at Republic in its trials. But neither sympathy for its calamities, respect for its power, nor regard for its threats, must induce a British Minister to forego one iota of the rights of British subjects. We desire the more earnestly to impress this upon the Foreign Secretary, as it is reported that the strict letter of the law will be rigorously insisted on by the French Government; that 'a mere blockade' will not be allowed to stand in the way of the shipping of cotton from New Orleans to Havre, and that, rather than imperil the interests of the French manufacturers, the French Government would be inclined to acknowledge the independence of the Southern Confederacy. What truth there may be in this rumor, we know not. It would not be a new thing to find the French Government acting more energetically for the interests of French subjects than our own for those of the British manufacturer. But it is obvious that it will not do for Manchester to be dependent upon Havre for its supply

Foreign Miscellany. By the latest foreign files we find the following European intelligence: Galiguani, of Paris, of the 9th of June, says: The police at Havre, the day before yesterday, arrested and sent to prison an American sailor, named Jumbrell, for having robbed another American sailor, of a sum of 112 francs while they were together in a cafe. The money was found on his person, a gold piece of 100 francs having been put into one of his boots. The Rev. Patrick Bronte, incumbent of Haworth, near Bradford, England, and father of the gifted authoress of "Jane Eyre," died at his parsonage on Friday, June 7. The Rev. Mr. Nicholls, husband. of the late Charlotte Bronte, was with him in his last hours. The deceased gentleman, whose peculiarities were well known to all the readers of the biography of his daughter, was born on the 17th March, 1777, and had consequently attained the patriarchal age of 84 years at the time of his death We (British Standard) have re

o reserve to the North alone an exclusive monopoly of the coast trade! "The Cunard lines, from Liverpool to New York and Boston, and the line from New York to Havre and other European ports, provided a sufficient steam tunnage to answer the necessities of New York in her prosperous days. But since the Southern States have sunof the movement, profit by the advantages of priority? In order to accomplish this, permit me to suggest that the law authorizing the establishment of a line from Havre to New York be modified or amended so as to impose upon the steamers the obligation of proceeding directly from Havre to Savannah, Georgia, and that the projected line from Havre to the West Indies be prolonged, so as to include New Orleans. "Savannah is situated in 32 degrees N latitude. Next to New Orleans, Savannah is the Southern city which exports most largely.--The network of railways running west from Savannah is completed as far as Montgomery, Ala., and is on the point of being

ture of his assets. The Correctional Police is likely are long to be engaged with an investigation of his affairs. Another case — that of M. Calley de St. Paul-- has also been the subject of many dark innuendoes; but as the gentleman has the good luck to be aid de-camp to General Fleury, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, first equerry, &c., it is probably that his difficulties will be smoothed over. A full investigation of his affairs might be compromising. M. Baron, banker of Ba Nointor near Havre, has been declared a bankrupt. His liabilities are said to be heavy, and report asserts that three Paris bankers, who have made their names familiar to the public by copious advertising, are in flight — The names of these gentlemen are no secret, but I withhold them until something more definite has been ascertained.
