SUMMARY OF NEWS. Xk'.v Yokk, Feb. 22. The steamship Af rica, with Liverpool dates to the 5tb, has arrived. Ijaron Vtn Garroot comes? a passenger. Fun Is at London, on the day previous to the Africa's sailing opened at decline and closed three eights pence lower than Thurs day's quotations. Nearly all other classes of securities showed a decided decline. The Hi U f Xeitt argues from the remarks "f te Premier and Chancellor of the Exche quer, that the position of Foreign Affairs is most critical. Tho Min sters are unable to furnish a u tlioritative e.xplunnations respecting the in tentions of the French Emperor. It says th.it it is felt more clearly than ever that the preservation of peace depends on the will of one individual. The Ttinr city article says, the convic tion is, that war is intended to be provoked. The discussions in Parliament have had a discouraging effect which had been greatly aggravated by the announcement of an at tempt on th part of Sardinia to effect a loan. The torch of war once lighted, there is no telling where it will top. To England, says the Tim), there seems to be but one duty, that of saying energetically, without war or other disturbance, general peace shall be maintained in Europe, and Italy shall be free. The telegraph had stated that fighting ha 1 commenced at Montenegro. The Russians had been repulsed in an attempt to take the town of Vhelndjik on the Circassian coast. Commercial matters quiet. Cotton, naval stores and rice unchanged. Hai .ifax, Feb. 25. The Cunard Steam ship CaiKuli, has arrived, with Liverpool dates to the 12th. Continental .affairs had somewhat, changed. Pacific rumors had pre dominated, but the latest advices were more warlike. Notwithstanding the peaceful sentiments uttered by the Emperor and the Count de Morny, warlike preparations continued on a large scale. The Paris Bourse fluctuated very much closing heavy at 03 for Threes. The Sardinian Chamber of Deputies had voted for anew loan of fifty millions of francs, which Cavour explained was designed for defence against Austria. Military move ments continued in Austria. LivrupooL, Saturday, Feb. 12. Sales of Cotton for the week 67,000 bales, closing at an advance of one-eighth, owing to an im provement of continental politics and favor able advices from India and China. The market closed active. Lreadstutfs generally dull, declining tendency. Sugar dull and declined Gd Closed with a Coffee dull. Rosin slightly j Rice quiet. Carolina scarce, lower. Spts. turpentine firm. I Slave!'.' Abolished in Kansas. We find J the following, under the date of the 8th, in i the Lawrence correspondence of the Leaven ; worth Tours : "Council bill to abolish and prohibit slave ; ry was then taken up, with only two hours ! to injure the Governor's signature or compel ; him to return it. An exciting scene occurred. None like it has occurred this session. The ; friends of the house bill admitted that Coun cil bill was not what they wanted in all re spects, but that Dr. Root should not be al lowed to carry their bill in his pocket for four weeks as the confidential agent of the govcrn '. or, for the purpose of defeat. The most per : sistent efforts were made to prevent final ac- tion by a few members, but the matter was passed through and a final vote was taken at 11 P. M., when by a larze maioritv. slavery was abolished and forever prohibited in the territory of Kansas." A Veto Expected. Members of Congress in the confidence of the President express the belief that he will veto the bill granting t aid to the States, in behalf of Agricultural , Colleges. i Thk Pur.siDEscv. A Washington letter, l speaking of Mr. Uuchanan, says: i "Again and again, on every possible occa sion, he disavows with contempt and ridicule his supposed aspiration for a second term of office. '-Two old men," he says, "myself and Lewis Cass, if we live so long, will quit this City on the Gth of March, I80T, with much lighter and less burdened hearts than we bore with us on coming here." 1 ! ( J 00a Law. A bill has passed the House of j Representatives of Ohio, making seduction a i penitentiary offense. As the law now is, the j only penalty on conviction of this crime is I the payment of such pecuniary recompense I as may bo awarded by the jury. ! i Civilization. The Minnesota papers say ' that the Indians in that part of the country ' are being rapidly civilized; all those in the , neighborhood of tho settlements drinking whiskey, chewing tobacco, lying, stealing and swearing eipial to white men; and the other day a young squaw committed suicide by hanging herself on a tree, on account of disappointment in love. ! It is rumored at Washington that Mr. Bu chanan is thinking of making D. S. Dickin son Judge of the Supreme Court, in place of Judge lauey, who talks of resigning. Chief Justice Taney abstains from all so ciety. Even Lord Napier was recently de nied an interview with him-, in consequence of are and infirmities. Renciits of Railroads. A late writer in the Selma, Ala., papers, says that the taxa ble real estate in that city has risen in value, from the assessment of about 100,000 at the commencement of the year 1849, prior to the commencement of the Railroads, up to twelve hundred thousand dollars in 1858 all from the construction of two railroads the Ala b ama and the Tennessee Roads, and the Ala- bama and Mississippi river Roads, in which 000.

Xttr l ih'irI Mass.) Tunes. "Lincoln, of Illinois, got off a good one, on the day of Ihc Senatorial election. As soon as the ballot was announced, a promi nent Republican approached hira in the law library, and asked him "how lie felt?" "iVtli," paid Abe, "I feel a good -deal like the boy did when he stubbed his toe against a root. Grabbing his foot in both hands he exclaimed: "I'm too much of a man to cry, and Tin too badly hurt to lavgh P " Font Men to be IIcxo. The Governor of Maryland has fixed the 18th of March for the execution of Peter Corrie, who will be hung at the same time, and on the same gallows, with Gambrill, Cropps and Stephens. The death warrant was read to Corrie on Monday. The Sun says : After the sheriff had concluded, the pris oner remarked "Well, I know my doom. The Governor has given us a very short day: he ought to have given us longer time. He ought to know that men brought up like we were would require a long time to get in the right way. It was like taking up young mules, which require a long time to break." The sheriff replied that as the time was short there was the greater necessity for making the best spiritual use of it. Corrie then again said : "the Governor ought to have given us longer time." After a few more words, in which the sheriff told him he would be made comfortable while he had to live, the officers bid the condemned man farewell and retired. While speaking, Corrie's voice betrayed great emotion, and he was evidently agitated, and has a fearful dread of his approaching fate. The hanging of four men at the same time, and on the same gallows, never before oc curred in this city. Bathing in tiie Dead Sea. A pleasent cor respondent of the Boston Post, writing from Jerusalem, thus humorously describes his Dead Sea bath : The Dead Sea has nothing of the deso lation which it has been the pleasure of travel lers to describe, and it seemed to smile at the secret dread with which it inspires the pil grim. I of course took a bath here ; and for a swimmer who has a fancy to keep his legs as well as his head out ot the water, I can imagine that it must have been quite pleasant. My French friend, who is not a little inclined to corpulency, complained that he could not get down into the water : floated about now one side up, now another, for all the world like an inflated bladder. On emer ging from the water it was rapidly evapora ted by the sun: and the salt crystalizing on our bodies, gave us the appearance of anima ted sticks of rock candy, or a family resem blance to Lot s wile. With a sensation upon our skin, as if we had been pickled for family use, and with a taste in our mouth compounded of slauber, salts and assafcetida, we concluded that one bath in the dead sea was enough for a life time. Dr. J. C. Ayer, the world renowned Chem ist of New England, is now stopping at the Burnet house in this city. He has been ma king a tour of the Western States, with his scientific associates, to investigate their rem edial productions, or such as he can make remedial. We notice he has been received with marked distinction by our leading citi zens of the West and are rejoiced to find they have shown proper estimate of the man who has perhaps done more for the relief of hu man ills than any other American. Daily Journal, Cincinnati, 0. Papeks of General Green. A proposi tion is made to Congress by George Wash ington Greene, son of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, to purchase the papers of his father, connec ted with the war of the Revolution in the South. They are voluminous, embracing, among other documents of interest, two thousand original letters of the General him self. There is, besides, a connected series of papers, which taken in connection, fur nish a complete history of the Quartermaster's Department during the whole time of Gener al Greene's command in the south. Of all the men who figured in the war of the Revolu tion, none had such high claims upon the gratitude of the country as Greene, Wash ington alone excepted. Had the latter been carried off by sickness or a stray bullet, or any of the other chances of war, his place would undoubtedly have been tilled by Greene. The oldest Printer. Goldsboro' had a visit last week from the oldest Printer in the Union probably, in the person of Col. Robt. Carr, of Philadelphia. The Goldsborough Tribune says : The Col. is now in the 82nd year of his age, is looking remarkably well ; can walk 20 miles a day, without inconve nience, and can read the smallest print with out the aid of glasses. He was bred a prin ter, ani served his apprenticeship with Dr. Franklin, commencing in the year 1790. He is now the oldest printer in Philadelphia, if not the oldest in the United States. In the war with Great Britian of 1812, he served a tour as Lieutenant Colonel, in the loth Reg iment, United States Infantry, commanded by Col., subsequently Gen. Pike. Since the close of the War, Col. Carr, has served his State as a member of the Legislature, and as Adjutant Gen. of the Militia of his State. For nearly the last 50 years he has been the proprietor of the Bartran Botanic Gar den near Philadelphia. r The venerable Joseph Gales, of the Nation al Intelligencer, was a compositor in the Printing office of Col. Carr, more than fifty- hve years since, lhe Col. is now in the en joyment of uninterrupted health, and attrib utes his long life and good health to his ab stemious habits, in both drink and diet. Wiiat it Costs. The Washington corres pondent of the Philadelphia Press, says-;: 41 The cost of the franking privilege, which, besides being wrong in itself, is the active in ducement for squandering millions in public printing, is measurably illustrated by the fact.that it cost $7,000 to pay for the trans portation of the documents belonging to Mr. Bernhisel, the delegate from Utah territory." Railroad Convention. A Convention of the friends of the Suffolk and Edenton Rail road was held at Gates C. II. (N. C.) on the. 22d. W. N. II. Smith, Esq., presided, and Messrs. Davenport of Edenton,. and C. If. Foster, of Murfreesboro,' acted as Secretaries. Several stirring speeches, we learn, were delivered by the friends of this improvement which produced a marked effect ; and many put down their names as subscribers to-th work, some of them to the extent of ten thou sand dollars. It is supposed that the com pany will be fully organized in May next New York Inebriate Asyllm. The num. ber of applicants for admission to the Asy lum for Inebriates, at Binghampton, N. Y., is 2800, and of these 300 are women. The A- sylum can only accommodate 300 patients Kentucky Politics. The Opposition Con vention have nominated Joseph F.

At a called meeting of " Southern Star" Sec tion No. 10, C.of T., in consequence of the death of one of its members, a committee was appoirted to draft resolutions suitable to the occasion, who submitted the following, which were unanimous ly adopted : Whereas, in the dispensation of an All-wise Providence, our worthy brother, William Poink r, has been removed from our midst; therefore be it Re$olved, That the Section has heard of the death of this brother with deep sorrow. Although he was connected with our order but a short time, still he won our confidence and esteem ; and while wo fuel very sensibly this loss, we would bow submissively, and say, " Not our will, oh ! Lord, but thine bo done." Resolved, That although young, yet we would extend our sympathies to the relatives of the de ceased in this their sad bereavement, and would say that much consolation is to be derived from the fact of his perfect composure during his ill ness, his complete resignation in his last hours, and of the many bright evidences which he gave that " all was well." Resolved, That as a token of respect for our de parted brother, wo wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the "Democratic Pioneer" and " Spirit of the Ago," and that a copy of the samo bo sent to the family of the deceased. Chas. Guirkin,") K. R.
