C. ; The following communication was put in type for last week's paper, but was crowded out: -: " For the Carolinian, i Tbe Atlantic and Sort h Carolina Railroad. !Mr Editor: I have seen an Extra, from the Office. of a 'Newberu -''paper containing the intel ligence that at a meeting of the Commissioners of thtf Atlantic and North Carol ina Ita il roa d -Coniprpy, held in Newbern on the 14th June, the snrl of Jive hundred and one theusaiid three Tiitndr 4 dollars was found subscribed on the ""T8!!1 bboksgri the town of Newbcrn. The five per r-'jiiniueTrtrlrttirly; the charter was -alwo -fonntt The subscription of $"4C(f 000. subacribed in Italeijrh bv Rislev & Co.. was de clared Wid and thrown out for want of evidence of the lycun'iary ability of the subscribers, and the'infoVuality in the note offered to secure the 5 per ccit. Whatthe informality in the note given to secure tlfc 5 per cent, on Rislev $:- Go's sub- scriptionkvas, the bulletin from which I get myJ informatt u docs not state. If the note whs defective it is a little singular that it should have beet received by the Commissioners who had charaj of the subscription books at Raleigh. On turnip to the charter of the Company, 1 find that commissioners for receiving sub scriptions It Raleigh are Romulus M. Saunders, G i. V,.Mtdccai, XV. V. llolden, J. II. Bry dw'd Valorongh, and W. Whitaker, Es an, Ed sqs. It would sjem to me that some of those gentle men are stificientlv learned in the law to detect any infornlity in the note to secure the o per cent. Thtrejection of Risky & Co's subscriji tion on thigrpund appears the more remark able when b is observed that there is not a legal gentleman (so far as I can learn) in the whole Board of General Commissioners. Bit there was another ground upon which the subscription of Risky : Co. was declared void, viz: the want of evidence of their stand ing. It-strikes me that if the right to reject a subscription oh this ground is vested any where by tie charter of the Company, it must be -vested in the commissioners who receive the sub scriptions. The charter provides that when a subscription is made, and the 5 per cent paid, or secured to be paid, the commissioners shall pass a receipt to the subscriber. If this was done (which I presume) in the case of Risky & Co., it would seem to me that they hold, in that re ceipt, the written evidence of a vested right to $400,000 of stock in the Atlantic and X. C. Paiiroad Co. What force can lie in the objection that the general commissioners had no evidence that Rislev & Co. are rood ? The charter does not rivc them the of the solvency of subscribers. power to iudgc In undertaking- to pronounce that judgment, they, in my humble xPJ5ixunv'arrorctfi to themselves a power winch s jiol eonierrea oy ine cnarrernnner wnicn mey profess to act. I repeat, that if any such pow er existed in this case, it was vested -in the commissioners at Raleigh. That ttey were satisfied that they did not have the right, or at least that it was not their duty, to reject the subscription in question, is evident from the fact that they did nvt reject it. I am bound, there fore, to believe that the proceedings of the Board of General Commissioners at Xewbern, as disclosed to me, are void that Risky & Co. have a right to a majority of the stock of the Atlantic and X. C. Railroad. And they are not the men I take them to be if they submit to such arbitrary proceedings as those of the Gen eral Commissioners at Xewbern. JUSTITIA. .apolcon and bis L"nipres. The Paris correspondent of the London Times contradicts the rumored intention of the Em peror Napoleon to obtain a divorce from the Enqwess. We are glad to learn that in this respect the "nephew of my uncle" is not disposed to follow the bad example of his relation: I have already contradicted, and from very good authority, the rumor which was current that the Emperor contemplated a dissolution of his marriage with the Empress. My allusion to the rumor was, perhaps more vague than was necessary, even with every possible considcraion for the delicacy of the subject. The rumor is still current, for there are some members of the legitimist party who spare neither money nor pains to propagate it ; and in several of the foreign journals it is alluded to as having gained much credit in Paris. I contradict again, in most peremptory manner, the rumor itself, and also the statement of its having gained considera ble credit in this capital. Nothing whatever has occurred to warrant even the supposition that there is anv irround for desirini.-a divorce a divorce on political grounds, and still less for supposing that if the hone of direct issue had diminished, such a circumstance would affect the union of j ttdistinguished personages alluded to. I could mention twenty facts to show that if the conduct of theEmperor justified severe criticism, his social relations are such that it would be utterly im possible to fix upon him a single fact to indicate that his political ambition, great as it may be, ! would ever preponderate over his affections. All j that is necessary now is to assert that there is not, land nevee line boon tbn slirrbtest frOIIfld for , , .. ' , . . . i'"- , 1 ie '"'Potation which is cast upon him As to lIlc question ol tne probability or lmprooauuiij of there being direct issue from the imperial marriage, I will only say that no communication has been made, either private or official, that the event is improbable; and that, on the con trary, there is at this moment a strong rumor in the court circles that the Empress is likely soon to gratify the hopes of the Emperor, and disappoint those of the persons who have ureal or fancied interest in his leaving no direct issue. A Case of Conscience. Some time since the Collector of the Port of Georgetown, S. C, received an anonymous letter from Beaufort, enclosing a North Carolina Bank note for one hundred dollars, stating thatthe person sending it justly owed it to the United States. The Collector at Georgetown w rote to the Depart ment at Washington in relation to the subject, and was instructed to send the note to the Col lector at Wilmington, who could gev the specie for it and deposit' it in tfie U. S. Depository here, which has been done. It may be some satisfaction to the sender to know that his wishes have been carried out. - Wil. Journal.

During the night of May 2'Jth the Russians made three attempts to storm, but were repulsed with fearful loss, leaving 1,500 dead beneath the ramparts The Turks also made a sortie, and effected a dreadful massacre of the Russians 4,500 being reported as the number of their wounded and slain.

There had been considerable fighting else where. On the 31st May a serious a flair oc curred at Slatina, when the Turks defeated 2,000 Russians, killed 500, and captured their artillery. Other encounters, more or less san guinary, are reported. A letter from a Doctor captured in the frigate Tiger, says the Bussians treat their pri.-oiicrfc with great kindness. Greece. A despatch from Athens of 20th May confirms a report that the insurgents had gained a victory in Thessaly. The Turks lost 700 in killed, many prisoners, and five guns. The new Greek ministry had taken the oaths, and satisfied the requirements of the Porte by issuing peaceful orders and dismissing all func tionaries implicated in the insurrection.

It was suspected that the meeting would not in crease the cordiality of Austria towards the western powers, especially as it -'has.. transpired that Count Nostiz is the bearer of a letter from the Emperor of Austria to Nicholas. , SiNGii..va Affair. rA Son Running away icith his Father's Wife On Sunday, a man about thirty years of age, accompanied by a woman aged twenty-seven, and two children representing themselvesas man and wife mnde application to Mr. Thompson for relief. They stated that they were jiiit from Canada hav ing come over by the boat and were destitute of means; hence the appeal for aid. Mr T. kept them during the day and the succeeding night, and then told them that if they persisted in asking aid, he should be compelled to send them to the County House Upon this they left. Nothing further was heard from them t,ill several days after, when an old man arrived from Canada in pursuit of them, stating that the woman was his own wife, and the man his son by a former one. Whether he succeed ed in tracing the fugitives we have not learned. ; but should he, we should infer that the meeting ! between father and son must be rather embar ' rassing. Rochester Advcatte. Bayard Taylor on Nitmf.gs. On our rc turn to the ship we visited a nutmeg planta tion. The trees, which arc from twenty to thir ty feet in height, are planted in rows, at inter vals of about twenty feet. The leaf is chirk green and glossy, resembling that of the laurel, and the fruit, at a little distance, might be taken for a small russet-colored apple. When ripe, the thick Husk splits in the centre, show- kg a scarlet net-work of mace, enveloping an inner nut, black as ebony, the kernel of which is' the nutmeg of commerce. The clove tree, not now in its bearing season, lias some resem blance to the nut, but the leaf is smaller and the foliage more loose and spreading. As we drove, through the orchard the worm air of noon was heavy with spice. The rich odors ex haled from the trees penetrated the frame with a sensation of languid and voluptuous repose. Perfume became an appetite, and the senses were drugged with an overpowering feeling of luxury. Had I continued to indulge m it, I should ere long" have realized the Sybarite's complaint of his crumpled roseleaf. . Turned the Jctke on Him. An amusing scene took place recently on the steamer Eureka, just as she was leaving for Cleveland. A rough looking genius came aboard with a powerful bull-dog at his heels. Walking directly into the office, the individual said to the clerk: 'Stranger, I want to leave my dog in this 'ere office till the boat starts. I'm afraid that some body will steal hirn.' You can't do it," said the clerk. 'Take him out.' 'Well stranger, that's cruel: but you're both dispositioned alike and he is kinder company for you 'Take him out roared the clerk. Well, stranger, I don't think you're honest, and you want watching: here, Bull, set down here and watch that fellow sharp;' and the 'individual turned on his heel saying, 'put him out; stranger, if he's trouble some.' The dog lay there when the" boat start ed, watching the clerk, who gave him tbe bet ter half of the office. On Sunday afternoon, the Custom House was stricken by lightning, an individual being on the roof at the time. No damage was done. Wilmirgtdn Herald. - f Ar.f rr.
