As Wc Predicted We learn of the Charleston Mercury, that the Stockholders of the Louiville, Cincinnati and Charles ton rail road Co. determined at their late annual meeting to stop said road at Co lumbia. Such an evidence of puuic faith on the part of South Carolina, 1m excited feelinirs of bitterness in the other States in terested, towards her. We learn that the debates in convention were tinctured will) an acrimonious spirit. Wilmington Adv. gjVVe have inserted on our first page, a Circular, addressed lo the Governor ol this Slate, as well as to the (lover ors of the other States in the Union, by the "A- incrican Lyceum," relative to "clcmrnb ry education in the United States." We insert it not because we approve- of that institution, of the object contemplated, or of the plan proposed; but merely, as re quested, to give our "patrons the opportu nity of reading the Circular." It will be scien, that this is in accordance with most Of the other projects set on foot in the pre sent dav; every thing must be done on the "hili pressure" principle combinations co-extensivc with a State, or with the U nitcd States, must be formed to give an impetus to all projects, whether of a moral or physical nature. It appeal s that noth ing of moment can now be done, unless the 'aris'ocracy of wealth" directs or con trols the mode or manner in which it is to be Guested; whether relating (o the public or private, political, civil, or religious movements of the citizens. Can any per son fail to see how rapidly and effectually these extensive combinations are circum scribing the liberties of the people, and sap ping and undermining our free institutions?

We observe, in the last Register, a notice of the dissolu tion of the firm of Joseph Gales &, Son, and that the business will hereafter be conduc ted by Weston R. Gales, esq. Joseph Gales, esq. will retire from the political arena, with the respect and esteem of all parlies, to which a long, a useful and an honorable life so justly entitle him. Mr. Weston R. Gales proposes to pun ish the Register twice a week, in a short lish time. s -ib. J!bit a few weeks ago, we announ ced the death of Charles infant son of Mr. Allen Fitch of this town. Wc have now the melancholy task of stating that within a week, three other members of the same famiiv have been consigned to the tomb. Lacy, in the 3d year of his ae, di-id on the "loth instant, and Stephen, in th.j 11 ill vear of his age, died o:i the 1 1th and on lhe lfV.h the remains of their father. Mr. Allen Fitch, were placed by the graves of his departed offspring! Seldom has it been our painful duly to record so ;ifllieling and .iudden a dispensation of Providence in one famiiv, but "lie whodoelh all tilings well and wisely," accomplishes his great purpo ses not as erring man would; and though all must sympathise with the bereaved Widow and almost ehildloss mother they mut, althe same time, bow in humble submission to the awful power and just de crees of lhe Almighty God. As a pious, amiable, and good man, Mr. Fitch had no superior.

A daring Scoundrel. Last vvcek we mentioned the commi'.td to the jail in this place of a negro, who had beaten and rob bed a white man in Onslow county. On last Saturday, before sunset, he made a bold attempt to escape, which, had he ta ken a different direction when he got out of prison, would no doubt have been suc cessful. It seems that a negro fellow, who is permitted to wait on lhe prisoners with food, &e. had gone in to carry away the plates or dishes' from which the dinner had been eaten. When he opened the doorof the cell in which the prisoner allu ded to was confined, the inmate rushed upon him, knocked him down, and ran to the pass-rge door. Finding that locked, he sought r-ome other medium of egress above s aiis, but without success. The Sheriff was absent, and his place was sup plied by a deputy, who, hearing the crie of lhe black assistant inside, r.m out to look for help, and thoughticss'y h it. toe key ii the door ! A negro woman who was attracted to the spot by the cries of her fellow servant, at once unlock ed the door, and presto! the prisoner took to the streets, as naked as an idle knitting needle, and run at the top of his speed till he was knocked down by some gentlemen who were attending the even ing market. Had lie fled up the river street iie would have escaped without doubt. It is also as little doubtful, that had he .been armed, those who stopped him would have paid for their temerity with their lives, as he is a desperate and daring fellow. At the lime of the uproar at the jail another prisoner a while man who stands charged, with lhe murder of his late wife also took to the streets, and without making any effort to escape, ran alter the negro, giving the alarm in his loudest tunes, and what is more strange, returned to prison when the fugitive was captured! Newborn Spec. coiumn for particular?. The editor ol .tie Star gives the following grnpmc uesc ip tion of thescenc picscnted whcrlhe readied lhe spot: . . "The confusion and chaos crca'cu aioium the clamor of trumpets and voices, the steady work of the engines, the moving masses, the agonised expressions of terror, tho screaming of women, and the helter- skelter of every sort of furniture that can ha imairined. borne off in carts, &c, by hand or heaped in the streets; bibles, pray er books altar ornaments, and the sacred chalice, mingled up with gorgeous theatric costumes, and tomes ot Shakspeare, auo Libictos, and scores of Rossini, bedim, ami Auber, and wardrobe and gewgaws of a more ambiguous character, thrown from the houses of iil fame, threatened or partly on lire in the immediate vicinity; the tioops of actors, orchestral pei formers, and lhe retinue of supernumei at ies &scene-sh liters running to and fro, mingled op with the cries of the colored population, of Fiench citizens, and our own people looking un ut'crablo despair on the combined havoc of all that was en ieared to them as the source of their livelihood, or the temples wheie they worshipped the u hole spectacle, in fact, the blending of things stcrcd and pro fane below, heightened by thesea of Ihmes and smoke rolling above, presented a living tableau of a scrio-groioque and subliin--character, as impressive as it was novel and terrific." Besides the loss sustained by the sever al actors, in the destruction of their ward robes, it is siid that upwards of two bund red and ten persons, mechanics, supernu meraries, &e. connected with the theatre, have with their families been thrown oul ot employment; and that several hundred others more or less dependent on theestab lishment will suffer bv its destruction.

On the night of the 15th inat, near the Sound in Onslow coun ty, Mr. Loftin Quinn was attacked by a stout negro man, dragged from his horse, beaten, robbed, tied to his cart, and threat ened with instant death if he made any noise. The daring scoundrel then took Mr. Quinn'smare trom his cart, mounted her, and left his victim bound on the road. Providence, the avenger of wrong a.id in justice, directed the steps of the robber to Ncwhcrn where he turned his stolen mare loose on the street, and attempted to obtain a passage lo the not th. In the mean time the news of the outrage reached this place, a handbill was. posted, describing the fellow and his acts; and ere twenty four hours had elapsed he was safely lod ged in jail where he now is. We learn that hecommilted a more recent outrage on a ci'izen of Wilmington ami that lhe authorities of that town have offered $400 for his apprehension. He was on board of a vessel when taken. ib. From the Wilmington Chronicle. The outrage alluded to above as commit ted here, by the desperado now in the New born jail, was upon Mr. Thos. F. Gause, a citizen of our town, on the morning of the 1 3th inst. Mr. Gause has charge of one of the Steam Mills at the lower part of the Town, and on the way to his bieakfasi discovered a Mrange negro, whom he ac costed, and enquired of him who he was. The fellow took to his heels, when Mr. Gause dismounted from his horse and pur sued. On being overtaken by Mr. G. who had nearly exhausted himself in run- private letter from ?IobiIe states, thai die Alabama Bank- have pissed a les olution not to advance on lhe coming crop of Coiton. ib. The Cotton Circular. The Southern Patriot of Saturday contains a long letter fioiii Mr. M'DuHie, its ablest advocate, in explanation ami support of the principles and objects of the Cotton Circular. If the plan was, -by any possible means, carried out, the effect would be, as we are persua ded, to produce artificial prices, for thu great staple of the South; and that could have no lasting beneficial tendency. So,m or late the structure supporting these prices would melt away, and leave things to lind their natural level; and that too, aUi time, perhaps, which would be least favorable to the interests of the South and oftSie Union; and when, by its high workings thus su perinduced, the country could least bear lhe reaction which would be certain to en sue, and carry the staple down for a time below natural prices. But the impractica bility of the scheme proposed in lhe Cir cular, is well and fairly urged in the Patri ot. That paper says: "h would require a larger amount of bank capital than is pos sessed, or could be commanded, by the Southern institutions to make the advan ces contemplated in tne Circular, provided the usual bank accommodation is extended, and facilities of credit are given to the or dinary branches of trade. This objection alone, we should deem conclusive; for it would never do, if it could be done, to buiid up one great interest, at lhe expense of every other, in lhe community. Rait.

Silk Culture in JSIe.vico, S;c. A com mencement has been made in planting the Morns Multicaulis and the raiing of silk in Mexico, and such is the success in that line climate, that immense orders are being sent to this country for the requi site supply of trees. In Trinidad and Guadaloupe the Fiench planters are turn ing their attention to this subject by way of resuscitating their fortunes, which have been so completely prostrated by the ad vantages that the culture of beet sugar pos sesses over the cane. Even in the Island of Jamaica the great advantages of the cul ture of the mulberry and silk worm over o:her branches has attracted iheir attention, and the Colonial Legislature have passed a law granting a bounty of jC?50,000 ster ling towards the formation of mulberry plantations. 217s An advertisement in one of the Paris papers gives a striking picture of the state ot joint stock companies the shares of more than lorty companies are advertised tor sale at discounts varying from twenty live to ninety-live per cent.

One of the most destructive lire which occurred in that city since the great conlL ration in 136, broke out at Auv Vyrktm Tuesday afternoon last, which destroyed the splendid National Theatre, in which it origin ited, the French Episco pal Church of Saint Eprd, the U .t. h Reformed Church and the African Metho dist Church, and seriously injured several ether buildings in the neighborhood.
