An act explanatory of an act passed 1790, makes it death without benefit of clergy, to steal, seduce, or violently carry away any slave belonging to another per son. An act more effectually to suppress the traffic with slaves, makes it unlawful for any person to buy of, or receive from, any slave, any iron or steel, manufactured or not, without the written consent of the owner. An act to amend the 10th chapter of Revised Statutes, provides that the provi sions of. the 4lh section of said chapter, relating to bail in civil cases, shall be ex tended to bail in State prosecutions, allow ing the bail at any time to surrender the principal in discharge of themselves. An act to amend the 13th chapter of Revised Statutes, provides that all bills of exchange, payable at sight, or at a future day certain, in which there is no express stipulation to the contrary, shall be allow ed days of grace, the same as are allowed on foreign bills of exchange. Rut this pro vision is not to apply to promissory notes, or bills of exchange, or drafts payable oh demand." An act to amend the 24th chapter of Revised Statutes, provides that each Cap tain's district in anv town shall have two constables, to be elected as provided by law. An act concerning costs, provides that opon the plaintiff dismissing his own bill, or the defendant dismissing the same for - - - - c V want of prosecution, the plaintiff shall pay the defendant full costs. Another act concerning costs, provides that the Clerk's lee for issuing commissions to take depositions beyond the limits of the State, as well as the pay of witnesses attending before the Commissioners; and the fee of the commissioners; also the fees for exemplifications or transcripts of re cords, or certified copies of deeds; all shall be charged as a part of the costs of a suit, and shall be paid by the party against whom judgment is rendered. resolution which had been ottered at all interfered with his being admitted. It was only a matter for Gen. S. himself to decide whether he would take his seat be fore this question was decided. He thought, however, that Gen. S. should be sworn in before the resolution was put to the Senate. Messrs Butler, Webster, Atchison, and others, expressed the same opinions Mr Berrien rather differed with the others. But in fact, nobody seemed to take any de cided steps against admitting him, and af ter more talk than was at all necessary, the question was taken upon his admission, and decided in the affirmative without a count, and Gen. S. was sworn in. A committee was then appointed to wait on the President and inform him that the Senate was ready to receive any communi cation he might make. The resolution appointing a committee to whom shall be referred the credentials of Gen. Shields- was so amended as to or der their reference to the Judiciary Com mittee, which shall be appointed to-morrow. A message was then received from the President by the hands of his private secre tary, Maj. Bliss, tnd the Senate went into Executive session. This message was the nomination of his Cabinet officers. March 7. In the Senate to-day, the Chair announc ed Messrs Benton,' Felch, Mason, Web ster and Pearce the select committee on the eligibility of Gen. Shields, and the Senate then went into executive session. The public proceedings of the Senate of the 8th were of no public importance what ever, except that the committee upon Gen. Shields' case were authorized to seud for persons and papers should it be found ne cessary in their investigations. Later From Europe. 30TH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. DR. B. A. KENNEDY, Graduate of the Baltimore College of DENTAL SURGEONS, Respectfully tenders his professional services to the Citizens of Fayetteville, and country gen erally. He intends remaining in this place two weeks, during which time he would be pleased to wait upon all who may require his services. Having concluded to locate in Wilmington, he begs leave to say to his friends in this section of country, that he intends making arrangements to visit Fayetteville as often as the practice of the place will justify. He would recommend persons requiring large operations in the way of teeth inserted on gold plate, to have the teeth extracted while he is here, so that when he re turns, he will be enabled to insert them. He will warrant all his operations to give satisfac tion, if the persons will follow his directions. Incorruptible Artificial Teeth inserted on gold plate from one to an entire set, on the latest and most approved principle. Whole upper sets inserted on the atmospheric pressure principle. Having made improvements in this mode of in serting teeth, he confidently recommends it as answering the purpose of mastication. They can be taken out and put back at pleasure, by the wearer ; be worn with comfort, and cannot be de tected from the natural teeth.

The 30th Congress expired on the 4th of March, but the Senate held over, and will sit a few days to act on the nomina tions to office by the new President. On Tuesday, the 6th of March, the Se nate of the 31st Congress met. The first question which arose, was in regard to Gen. it snieius taking his seat as a Senator from Illinois. A resolution was offered to refer his credentials to a select committee, who should inquire into his eligibility to a seat in the Senate. Mr Douglass argued that the question of the eligibility of General Shields could not be raised until he had been sworn in. His credentials gave him the same title and the same right to take his seat that the credentials of others sworn in yesterday and to-day, gave them. He has the right to be admitted and to tote upon all questions, even the question of his eligibility, said Mr Douglass, until the Senate shall decide that he is ineligible. Such has been the uniform practice of the Senate in such cases. There seemed to be some disposition, in some qur rters, to throw obstacles in the way of his taking his seat; but Mr Mangum admitted that what Mr. Douglass had said was correct. Mr Badger also said that there could he but li ttle difference of opin ion upon that subject; that be ought to be sworn in and Jtreated as a constitutional member. But he could not see that the From the Charleston Mercury. Baltimore; March 9, 1849. Steamer America arrived at Halifax early this morning with two week's later intelligence from Europe. The following is an abstract of her news: THE MAKK.&TS. Through the early part of the fortnight succeeding the departure of the Europa. the demand for cotton was most animated. On the 10th of February the excitment was tremendous, and not less than 50,000 bales were sold. From 10th to 19th prices on American advanced d : Brazils, the same; and Surats e a . Subsequent to the 19th the market relapsed into a somewhat inac tive state, and prices declined ad, and the sales up to the 23d scarcely reached 34,000 bales. On the 23d the market was firmer, and the prices were recovering from their decline. The quotations for that day were for Fair Uplands, 4 pence, being an advance of id. The market for bread stufl's was dull. The market fur Bacon was brisk. Beef dull. The total number of cases of cholera in England and Scotland had swelled to 12, 395, of which 5,546 had proved fatal. FRANCE The French government had despatched engineers to examine and report upon the alleged discoveries ot the precious metals in California. The French ministry have intimated an intention of acknowledging the Rom an government, as formed by the people, but at the same time of expressing an anx iety that the Pope should regain his former position as a temporal Prince, as well as the head of the Church. The Assembly sustained this avowal by unanimously pass ing to the next order of business. ITALY. A revolution had taken place in Tusca ny, and the Duke had fled from the coun try. A provisional government had been instituted in the papal states. The re publican feeling had attained a great height of excitement. On the 10th of February the Pope was formally deposed, the entire independence of the government of spirit ual power formally decreed, and a repub lic proclaimed In Austria, the Hungarians had gained several battles over the imperial troops. The Spanish ministry have declared to the legislative authorities of Spain, in re ply to an inquiry on the subject, that no proposition had been made to the Govern ment for the sale or cession of Cuba, and if any such should be made, it would not be entertained. COUNCIL OF STATE. We understand that the following mem bers of the Council assembled in the Capi tol, in pursuance of the call of Gov. Manly, viz: A. E. Erwin. Thomas A. Atkioswn, CharUs L.

Directors of the Literary Fund: Richard Mines, of Wake county, George Little, do.-' Weldon N. Edwards, of Warren county. These nominations were all unanimous ly confirmed, and the Council thereupon adjourned without day. Raleigh Register. From the National Intelligencer, Feb. 28.' INTERESTING CEREMONY. The joint Committee appointed by the two Houses of Congress to communicate to Gen. Taylor official information of his election to the Presi lency, waited on him for that purpose on Monday last, when the Hon. Jefferson Davis, of the Senate, Chair man of the Joint Committee, addressed the General as follows: Sir We have been deputed by the Sen ate and House of Representatives of Con gress of the United States officially to in form you that they have in the manner pro vided in the Constitution, ascertained that you have been legally and constitutionally elected to till the office of a President of the U. States for four years, to commence with the fourth day ot March, 1849: and to present to you your certificate of election, as proclaimed by the Vice President of the United States on the second Wednesday ot February of the current year. In conveying to you this evidence of the high confidence reposed in you by the peo ple of the United States, we tender to you our cordial good wishes and earnest hope that you may find in the Chief Magistracy the honor, the glory, the happiness which should wait upon patriotism, and flows from a nation's prosperity. Many causes, such as difference of per suit, of circumstance, of education, or of mental character, divide now, as they have heretofore divided, the people of the United States into political parties; but it is a proud spectacle to see the conflict of opinion, af ter having raged with its wildest iury through the course of a canvass, subside in to peace at the returns of an election, and no other power ever be required to enforce the result than the power of that respect which American citizens feel for the laws and institutions under which they live. A majority of the Senate of the United States are of the political party which most strove to defeat your election. I accord in political creed with the majority.' To se lect me, under these circumstances, to an nounce to 3'ou your election to the highest office in the United States, will, I trust, be received as a token of their acquiesence, not reluctant admission, but respectful acquiescence in the decision of the people. I feel, sir, that I can offer you assurance that from them voue administration will not encounter factious opposition; that, as far as difference of opinion will permit, they will give that sincere support which our common interest and constitutional obli gations might lead you to expect. The character of your election, the gen eral feelings of admiration and gratitude tor your long, arduous, and most brilliant military services; a life of earnest devotion to your country, your whole country, give a high hope and expectation in the public mind that in taking the Chair first held by Washington, and which is sacred to every American heart, you will be able to hush the winds and still the waves of sectional strife, to pursue the constitution with all ils harmonizing compromises, to promote the permanant prosperity and further illustrate the honorable fame of our Union. . Substance of Gen. Taylor's reply, which he read from a paper. The President elect, in signifying his acceptance of the office- to which he had been chosen by .the people, avowed emo tions of the piofoundest gratitude, and de clared his distrust of the ability to fulfil the expectations upon which their confi dence was based; but gave assurance of a fixed purpose, to administer the Govern ment for the benefit and advantage of the whole country. In alluding to the fact to which his at tention had beeu drawn, that the chairman of the committee represented a public body a majority of whom were opposed in politi cal opinion to the President elect, and ac corded with that majority, he recognised in it the deference to the popular will, con stitutionally expressed, on which rests the strength and hope of the Republic, and he said that it was to have been expected of the Senate of the United States. He ex pressed an ardent wish that he might be able in any degree to assuage the fierceness of party, or temper with moderation the con flicts of those who are only divided as to the means of securing the public welfare. Having been reminded that he was about to occupy the chair once filled by Washington, he said he could hope to emulate him only in the singleness of the aims which guided the conduct of the men who had no parallel in history, and could have no rival in the hearts of his countrymen." In conclusion, he announced his read, iness to take the oath of office on the fifth of March proximo, at such hour and place as might be designated, and expressed to the Committee his thanks for the manner in which the duty assigned them had dis- am O charged.
