Discussion oi( Tuesday. On Tuesday, in pursuance of an appointment lo that effect, his Honor Judge Manly very gen erouflv anjiurned t rrtwmTrrectmTndates an opportunity of address ing the citizen of Mecklenburg County, io relation o the political issues which are now before the people of this Congressional di-sirict for their con Consideration. The discussion between Messrs. Cruige and Caldwell was opened by lw former ftOollt nno n'fl . ,.,v. r, aim cuuuuucu lor more man n hour, with all the force, eloquence, courtesy ol address and good humor, with which he is so bappily possessed. The great cardinal principles which have governed the course of the democratic party for the last seventy-five years, and sustained the institution and government of our country so long, were ably set forth and elucidated to the sat isfaction of 41 present. Mr. Craige's course in Congress was commented on and sustained by the reasons which prescribed the policy of his conduct while the representative of this district. He is again before 'he people of this Congression al district as the democratic candidate for a seat n the legislative chamber of the next United States Congress, and wo are proud as an Ameri can, as a Southern man, and a Democrat, to re commend him to suffrages of the democratic par ty in this district, as the fearless advocate and defender of our cherished principles, and one be fore whom the Hydra headed monster of the con solidated isms " of the present day muot cringe and fall', tyr." Caldwell's reply was short, and consisted partly of an excuse in relation to his ef fort, from the want of time to prepare hunsejf for fhc occasion, but mainly, of charges upon Mr. praip relative to h.'s votes on the land question! and other subjects of no importance to the issues of the present day, which wjien called upon, Mr ernments have laws to control their coasting trade. If naval officers are permitted to force their way by certain home iaiions, which are usually ports, without regard to foreign laws, what right have we to anticipate respect for our laws, by strangers who come among us? There is a hint thrown out, like a tub to a whale, that the English are looking for cotton lands in the Great Mo.o country. We very much fear some of our speculative charccters are looking out for ' something less praiseworthy. We have no business, as a nation, to intrude upon the peculiar institutions of our neighbors, who hve the right to be as jealous as we need to be about our own. We delight to see our militarv and naval officers employed in civil duties, at home and abroad, but they must be checked in . act or aggression; otnerwise we shall have no neighbors who can trust us to do them a service without fearing some violence to their rights their laws or their customs. Our countrymen have rambling dispositions quite sufficient, without any stimulus from our Departments. J?AIR PLAY. May 10, 1855. necessary turn-outs.

An nriny officer ol considerable experience is of the opinion, after a careful estimate, that the Russians .Mid allirg expended upwards of thirteen millions' worth of powder and ball in the thirteen days bombardment. Serenade to lli. Henry A. Wise. Hon. Henry A. Wise having arrived yesterday afternoon, at the residence of his son-in-law Dr. Game it, on Ninth street, in this city, a Urge number of his friends, accompanied by a fine band of music, called on him shortly after ten o'clock. There were, perhaps, one thousand pre sent. Having been called out, Mr. Wise addressed those who were thus honoring him for an taur, in one of ihe ablest and most eloquent speeches we ever heard from his lips. We regret deeply that having no facilities for reporting his renarks, we arc unahle to present even a meagre skeuh of them. ILs theme, however, was the enormiy of Know Notlungism, its warfare on civil liber y and Bible Christianity. He proclaimed that hi was certain of being elected the next Governor of Virginia by from ten to twenty thousand rnj"fity, and de clared that this opinion was based on having thoroughly canvassed the Stae in person. He was awfully severe on Know Ndhingism, depicting its aims, principles and tendencies, so as to make his hearers almost shudder. In the course of his remarks a little knot of rowdies, hanging on the outskirts of the crowd, endeavored to interrupt htm by making noises. His scathing rebukes of that cowurdly way of destroying the right of free discussion, however, seemed soon to shame them into continuing their conduct after the fashion described in a lower tone, so that he finished his xpeech without further material interruption. He 'ad spoken more than two hundred hours in the canvass, having addressed a large concourse cf ... ,,r-,,p,c unsoo lor hve hours yesterday at L-esburg. -Sam" fared badly in his hands fast night. Washington Star. What Spain is doing. A law has just been enacted by the Spanish Cortes, ordering all the lands and dwellings belong- j ing to lhe clergy, to religious fraternities, and lo pious and sacred works, to be sold and turned into money ; breaking up all accumulations of ecclesi astical property, and stripping the Church of its immense possessions. The following is an abstract ol the law : Article first declares for sale, according to the prescriptions of ihe present law, and without inju ry to the liens and charges to which il may be lawfully subject, all property, whether consisting of landed estates or dwellings in the cities, lord ships and ground-rents belonging to the State, to the townships, to the establishments of public be neficence, to the Public Instruction, to the Clergy, to the Military Orders of Santiago, Alcantara Calatrava Motesa, and St. John of Jarusalem; to the Rel igious Fraternities, and pious and sacred works, sequestrated oroperty of the ex-Infant Don Carlos, and whatever other property held in mort main, previously ordered to have been sold by virtue of interior laws. The second article makes some exceptions as to property not to be touched ; for instance, the edifices occupied by ministers, or as hospitals or barracks, or, in fact, any in actual public use. The third and fourth articles have also passed, and this will soon be a law. It is of great importance to Spain, as it turns many ol the pub"C useless lands, &c, into money. It was especially opposed by the Pope, as the greater part of the lands released belong lo the Uhurch. The Cortes haye been occupied almost exclusively with this law. i rn lion promulgated bv our fa the f-rsige explnined not only to the satisfaction of j by our nat,ona' constitution, and that we will use Democratic Electing in Union.

I., has a process by which he can con vert the fish which swarm our coasts every sea son into an article like guano, at less than half the cost of the Peruvian article, and Prof. Hare, ol Philadelphia, thinks equally as valuable. Mr. Haliday says : "I am able to say very confidently that this product can be afforded at $25 per ton, and pay the manufacturer more than 50 per cunt. The oil (according to Drs. Jackson and Hare) being almost valueless for fertilizing purposes, it is first taken from the fish, and they are then converted into guano. The first cost of the fish is about 82 per ton, and containing nearly 3 per cent, of oil, he oil will pay for the fish and nearly for the labor in manufacturing. Bv mv own PTnoiimm I thoroughly demonstrated the rendering of fish into guano. I then consulted Dr. Hare, of Phila delphia, who, I ascertained, had experimented ex tensively and successfully. I obtained from him his processes, and have received considerable in struction from him on the subject. I have also consulted Dr. Jackson more recently.

The English papers contain letters from the Crimea, giving details of the bombardment of Se nn in ihe 14th of Aoril. We make ibe S u vj V J ' V.' following selections : FIBST DAY OPENING OF THE FIRS. Befobe StBASTOPoL, Easter Monday, April 0, 1855 This morning at daybreak the allied bat teries simuItaneoBsly oponed fire on the defences of SebustoDol. It is now 4 o'clock in the after noon, and the rain, which began to lall last night, is descending in torrents, accompanied by a high breeze of wind. The enemy were taken com pletely by surprise when we opened fire. They replied, indeed, pretty briskly at once to the French fire on our left, and the flagstaff Battery and works were banned immediately. The Garden Battery and Redan Buttery came into play soon after we opened fire, but some time elapsed before the Round Tower works or the Mamelon answered, and for half an hour their guns were weakly handled. SECOND DAY THE HAIL OF SHOT. April 10. During the whole of the morning the firing continued on our side with little inter mission while that of the Russians was evidently slackening. At about 4 o'clock, however, all the enemy's lines and batteries suddenly sprung into life and vigor. Volleys of from 100 to 150 guns were fired at once from the Redan, the Flagstaff, Barrack, Garden and Malakoff batteries ; even the Mamelon, which all thought destroyed and unten able, fired five or six guns in succession. Their shot came in upon our works like hail. On every point along our lines balls were to be seen bound ing and plunging, and shells bursting like fire works in the air. Never, perhaps, was such a concentrated and destructive cannonnade witness ed since the commencement of the siege. All felt that if it continued two or three hours our works would be levelled with the dust, as, though both English and French kept up a terrific fire, the enemy, in spite of our utmost efforts, gave five guns in reply to our one. The rapidity and dea fening uproar of the fire brought all who were at leisure to the front, and the oldest and most exper ienced artillery officers augured very unfavorably of our prospect of taking a fortress which could command such a fierce cannonade. Suddenly, and in the midst of such remarks, the enemy's batteries made a dead pause. For nearly a quar ter of an hour not a gun was fired. Our long guns ceased firing a little after seven. .the enemy s about eight, and then both Russians and Allies resorted to their mor'ars. The fire ol these latter was maintained all night. It is something awful to stand upon the hills which overlook the town and watch the progress of the nightly bombardment. The Congreve rock ets rush from the French batteries with a dea(en ing roar, leaving a trail of fire behind just suffi. cient to trace the course of the missile as it darts vaguely hither and thither through the air, set tling down at last with a It.ud crash in the Flag, staff. This wild, erratic course occasionally lands them outside the Russian line, and now and then forces them clear over everything into the very centre of the town. From both right and left the mortars are discharged with a heavy, painful ex plosion, and with a flashhich, enen at a distance, is almost blinding. As the dull boom shakes your very frame, and hear the shell, with a kind of whistling roar, mount higher and higher into the air, till having reached its zenith, it descends with redoubled speed and force into the enemv's works. The shock with which it strikes the ground run be distinctly heard even in the Allied camp, fol lowed in a second after by the sharp ringing ex plosion, in the bright glare of which the earth is thrown up like a cloud. The casualties in the batteries to-day have been slighter than those of yesterday. The left attack has sustained some injury in guns and works; both will be repaired to night. Captain Sinclair, ol the Royal Artille ry, was severely wounded with a splinter of a shell through the thigh, but is doing well.

THIRD DAY EFFECT OF THE SHOT. April 11. At daybreak this morning the fire was resumed by the Allies and Russians, and lor some time with equal vigor on both sides. In spite of the fire of our mortars, the enemy during the past night have managed to repair much of the damage which the Mamelon sustained, and also the works of the Flagstaff Battery opposed to the French. On the extreme left, where the French are at tacking, much harm has undoubtedly been done. The Mud Fort has received some hard knocks several of its guns have been dismounted, and are not yet replaced. Still, as a battery, it is perfect ly defensible. Next to this came the Flagstaff, one of the most formidable of the Russian defences.' and the same which blew up all the French bat teries on 17th of October last. Since that attack its strength has been increased four fold; then it mounted forty. five, now it mounts upwards of one hundred and sixty heavy guns, at some parts in three tiers, and at others in two. This work has sustained much damage, more perhaps than all the other Russian batteries put together. Its lower and more advanced tier ol guns are quite silenced. ine guns memselves are overthrown, the embra sures destroyed, in some cases shot quite away, and in others so damaged as lo be mere piles of oai. funri irom wnich the remnants of white sand bags peep out here and there. The second I'er is also much knocked about, and one or two of the guns silent, and the slopes of the earth works much damaged. Still this portion is good and serviceable, ami some thirty or forty pieces of ordnance in position in it maintaining a hot can nonade. The upper tier of about thirty guns was almost uninjured, certainly none of its guns were touched. They had suffered very Tinle, aud con tinued to inflict some mischief upon the French One face of the Barrack Battery, which adjoins the Flagstaff, had been hit hard bv the French but was still firing. The other two sides of it were almost unscathed, and seemed even to be making head against the French battery on our left, and part ol our left attack. Next to this came the Garden Battery. I, suffered much yes terday, but from its position in rear of the other works the Russians have been able to repair it easily, and this morning it was again in active op eration. The Redan, the enemy's Pierce de re sistance, I regret to say, shoivs but little token of injury. Its front face was considerably marked and some three or four of its guns quieted, but this was all. it was still fi --- . ml l r iiirivi am l I n Li n minute.

But this is a matter of i,0 moment. The Redan per se is a strong hiitim hut unlike the Flagstaff or Malakoff, it is bv no means so importantly situated as to necewiint, our taking it by storm. The former works vt the keys of the enemy's position; when they are silenced and captured the Redan will fall of itneli, as it will cease to be tenable. The new battery which I mentioned last aM as being formed in the advanced trench was com pleted and opened this morning. The trememlim volley with which it commenced quite took tin Russians by surprise. At the first discharge one of their guns wosriis. mounted and another injured, and their nrtillen. men either ran away or concealed themselves, i they were not to be seen. Only one gun ft fired in reply, o that for five or ten rn'inutrtwH battery had nothing to do but to blaze away wuh out fear of opposition. After that time the rru-inr appoared to lake heart, and se veral guns win fired, but it was fully half an hour before thev' made anything hfce a vigorous defence. Tli-n, indeed, the fire they maintained showed that many ol the embrasures which were iupp 0 m be silenced had merely had their guns wtthdrsvi, and those they brought forward were well manm For about an hour the enemy fought with grei: determination, hut from ihe first they bad no chance of being able to maintain it long. Directlvl it was seen tliHt the Malakoff works "were detri mined to engage our advanced battery, one f.d ' of Gordon's battery, rrmunrirg e guns and lv" mortars, was directed upon it." and the three 13- inch mortar battery at the picket. houre also thru us missiles against the Round Power. Wif, (he, and with the assistance of the four 10 inh BHirltM near the advanced work, and several cohorw throwing 32-pound shell, n perfect hail was pourtd into our old enemy. As 1 have said, for n time it was well fouglii, but our immense shot dismounted ihe guns or cu up the earthworks, while ihe shell dropping orcr burst continually among its defenders. Towardi eight o'clock its fire had slackened consicb-ruMy, and before nine the enemy for thai lime gave up ibe contest as hopeless, and such guns as could still be used were withdrawn Irom the eml.rngurei, and our batteries left to do their worst upon in earthworks. During thisbaltery fight the Mann-Ion. as usual, revived from its state of inaction. r.d 10 the astonishment of every one, put forward fi guns and fired them continually. SIXTH DAY SOKTIK OS THF FRENCH. April 14. I have only lime to add a line of two before the mail starts. Our bombardmem continued the whole ol last night, with much eff d, and this morning the guns again recommend The fire of the enemy slackens more and mrrt each day. There was a slight sortie last nig upon the French, who are sapping up toward the Flagstaff. It was instantly repulsed, with a lo of ten or twelve killed to the Russians. There no new features in the cannonade of to-day, be yond that our advanced 84-pounder battery , doing considerable havoc to lhe works of Malakoff. It would seem as if our fire wa oltno1 thrown away on the enormous mound of earth cast up at the Redan and before the Round Tower and Western Batteries.
