THE COMMERCIAL. WILMINGTON, N. C. : TUESDAY. JANUARY 14, 1831. MSTH0DI8T K.' CHURCH." ' W would state for the Information of thoso ho may desire to know, that the Biahop who presided at tha late sessions of the North and South Carolina Conferences, has, after reviewing Q the circumstances of the caw, made the fol lowing appointments for WUmingUn during the i Kv.

We hare not yet received our papers by the last arrival from California, but a friend has favored s with the Sacramento Timtt of November 28. Than ta nothing of importance to report from that place. Among the deaths recorded we find David Blair, and Daniel Melton," (col.) of North Carolina. The cholera has done fearful work among the set tlers of California. ' CONGRESS. WeaUflUnd nothing of ' general interest in the proceedings of Congress. By this it should not be inferred that bur National Legislature is idle, or Inattentive to business. There is a great de1 of business, Affecting the interests of individuals and localities, that iwtt overwhelmed by the "uoiac and coafusion" of th last session, and many will hare cause to be thankful that there is a calm in the Assembly wTilch will enable them to attend to Important matters of a private nature. Wo had rather see our Legislators in this staid and sober tnood, barren M It Is of Excitement, than in the hurly-burly of political contention, when dema gogues flourish and I'madncss rules the hour." 'y, COUNCIL OF STATE. ' The following gentlemen were elected on Monday- week by the, two Houses, Councillors of State for the ensuing two yc&rs : James J. McKay, of Bladen county, William K, Lane, of Wayne, Whitracll Stallings, of Gates, Jobs C, Klrkland, of Orange, Mootfort Sydney Stokesyof Wilkes, Archibald Henderson, of Rowan, Wilson 8, Bin, of Guilford.' . vf'tf LEGISLATOR.;. .The Slavery Resolutions went through a pretty even ordeal la the House, on Friday. It is now certain that onr Legislature will, in no shape, as sert the right of secession. ' When the Resolutions have passed both Houses, if such should bo the case, we will lay them before oar readers, as well as all perfected matter of general Interest. But as we have already stated, we cannot find room fur the Legislative proceedings, especially those that begin in fire and end in smoke. What will be finally done in regard to amend ments of the Constitution, cannot yet be guessed at. ft la worthy of note, in recording the customs of the times, that tbc boasted reform on the port of the Democrats, expressed at the election pre cincts last summer, has wonderfully subsided in the Legislature. The Free Suffrage item, which Mr. Rkid made a prominent issue, has been held up, to afford a show for the party, bilt it is a mere puppet to what was expected from the election eering promises. The manner of this we have already noticed. It appears, on the whole, that the Democrats are afraid to trust lh organic law into the hands of the people. , And yet they boast of their exclu sive democracy. If the people are truly the sot ereigns, what right has the Legislature, in a mat ter ctf reform, to dole out scraps upon which they Stay s prrmitted to act, while they keep back the main subjects from their grasp! It is the "dear people," the "sovereign people," the "honest peo phy the "intelligent people," all the time of a canvass ; but when It comes to a verification of these adjective by legislative enactment, not one of them I found applicable to that same people. The Agents who asked the people for power, that ,tbey might dp certain specified acts, plainly tell their masters tbey are unfit to take the matter In band, alter fl; and that they will not permit them to reform the Constitution at their own pleasure. What is the meaning of this, gentlemen 1 What, DauenUt afraid to trust the Democracy? Are you afraid of the turbulence of the Demoeray of Srth Caretiu, that you will not even submit to them the question of a Reform Convention 1 Let It be remembered that, according to the principles you have avowed to the people, what they say and not what sunt think, is to be tbo mode and the meas ure of reform. The Democratic party of North Carolina cannot sustain the position they have ever assumed ss politicians, without passing an aet to entrust to tba people the question of " Convention or no Convention" and a Convention too, not limited to Mr. Ram's electioneering hobby of ' free Suffrage," but extended to aU aod every part of tho Con- , THE CHOLERA. The Cholera still exists in some parts of the Island of Cuba, both on the North and South side. Accounts from Jamaica, to the middle of last month, represent the disease as spreading all over the Island, even the mountainous regions, with rrightful mortality. A SINGULAR CASE. The loulsvillo Courier of the 3d inst. says : "On the steamer Bunker Hill that arrived from New Orleans, Wednesday, there were soverul California ana, one of whom had tho cholera, and his case was considered hopeless. Capt. Miller was applied to for the purpose of procuring materials to make hhnacoflmin case he tled. , Instead of doing this, he administered lignumdtr lea, which acted liki a charm, and a tow dosesentiroly cured him." This extraordinary fact is worthy of notice, and no doubt the merits of the application. wiU to in, vestigated. - ' DELAWARE. The Legislalurc of Delaware assembled at Do ver, on Tuesday last. Governor Timor, in his message, says of tho Compromise measures: "Most of them are, In (act, and all should be considered as inrevocable for their ( agitation can only be productive of Increased exasperation and distrac tion." II says the public mind is against the few noisy fanatics of the North, who are oppos ed to these measures. We shall be glad to find that His Excellency understands the mind of the Northern peoplo, and trust their returns of mem bers of Congress will show it. It must be eon. ferred that, heretofore, these "few and noisy" chaps have had great power and influence in our National Legislature. NEW HAMPSHIRE. A scries of Resolutions have been adopted by the Legislature of New Hampshire, unanimously, sustaining the compromise measures of the last session of Congress. A proviso to one of the Resolutions was moved by the free-soil arty, de claring that the Resolution shall not be construed into an approval of the Fugitive Slave Law, or the bill giving six hundred thousand acres of free territory and ten millions of dollars to Texas. This was lost. 155 to 18. We are clad to see New Hampshire lending her aid to the support of the Constitution, and to a Compromise that is good, so far as it goes. But we look upon the acMon of the last Congress as affording temporary security, only, to the South; and it is to be rc regrottod that there should be found a dispos ition in any of the free States, to repudiate in a case somewhat deficient in its characteristics. If they cannot hear the present arrangements for the benefit of the South, what may wo expect when an appeal is made for larger allowances, and pledges for future security arc required, above the contingencies of Congressional majorities 1 We do not look upon the present calm as indi cating that perfect satisfaction and peace which is so desirable, and so necessary to our well-being. Upon the faithful performance of the contracts of the Compromise, tho South rests her hopes of a growing sense of justice in tho free States. This is not the time, however, to discuss tho question of Southern Rights. Let us see what our own Legislature will do In the premises. 'A Melancholy lllatoryAU Gone. There is a singular and lamentable history con nected with the Bark Abbey Baker, of Yarmouth Me., now lying at our levee. She . was comman ded by Capt. Timothy Pratt, his wife and family were also on board with him, Captain Pratt died a short time before the arrival of the barque at San Francisco. Augustus Pratt, his son, who had leen acting as mate, then took charge and brought the barque into Bay and up to Sacramento, On the 80th of last month, he became one of the un fortunate victims of tho choleras One hour after, his brother Enos died. On the 1st inst., Ids bro ther William died of tho same disease. On the 3d a Dutch boy belonging to the ship died. On tho bt Mrs. Jane Pratt, the wife of Captain Timothy Pratt, died leaving a little boy nine years, of ago, who has been kindly taken charge of and will sent to the States by the earliest conveyance. Others were taken sick on board the barque and sent to the hospital, until the vessel was entirely deserted. The one Planktwo Noble Hearts which deserved to Live 1 A Russian ship of war was overtaken by a vio lent storm on the coast of Kamschatka, stranded and dashed to pieces on a reef. A sailor attempt ed to reach tho shore upon a fragment of the wreck. In a littlo while he perceived one of the officers, M. Minsk! struggling with the waves, and offered him a share of his plank. 'No, my boy he cried it is two light for two of us ; God has given jt ta you ; keep it and go and tell my wife that 1 die with her upon my mind.' The sailor urged ; the officer again declined. This no ble combat lusted an instant: when, seeing his su perior determined to refuse this anchor of safety, the sailor pushed the plunk with all his force to wards him, and sank in the waves. The officer was preserved. Sacramento Transcript. FROM SOUTH AMERICA. The Journal of Commerce has Valparaiso pa pers to the ijuth November, from which it gath ers the subjoined items of intelligence : In the course of November last thera had been a revolutionary attempt in Chili, after a pence of twenty years, but the good sense of tho Chilian people and the energy of the Chilian Government put it down in an hour. So says the Valparaiso Mercury. The Chilian Government has entered into an ar rangement with Win. Wheelright for a survey of a route for a railroad from Valpiraiso to Santiago, and has appropriated $2,000 a month for that pur pose. The situation of the capital of Peru is deplora ble. Bands of robbers were prowling about every niht, entering and robbing houses, and the police were unable to prevent It. The railroad between Lima and Callao had in part gone into operation, being the only railroad in Peru. The President, Ministers, and various other distinguished jhtsoiis made the first trip upon it. In a subsequent trip one person was killed and several wounded. The fears of fresh disturbances had subsided in Bolivia, and Gen Belzu resumed tho chief com mand on the 16th October. Gen, Bolivian had es caped to the frontiers of the Buenos Ayrean Confederation. ' Frm thi Journal of Comnucrci. ' v ; - "ANOTHER COLLISION. . It appears that the collision on the New Haven Rail Road, noticed this morning, was the occasion of another of a more serious nature. The even ing trajns frowk New York, being detained at Mam aroncck by the accident aforesaid, and thus thrown out of time, the 5 p.m. train came m collision with the 4.80 p. m, train from New Haven both of which were under rapid headway. The engines were much broken, and the platforms of the cars smashed in pieces. The passengers were thrown violently from their seats, and several iu both trains were badly bruised. One gentleman had bjs breast bone broken ; the wife of Dr. Benedict, ( GreeBwtch, was considerably bruised by being thrown violently forward over the back of a seat. The engineer, Mr. Tucker, and Mr. Crofutt, the baggage master, were also Injured. The conduc tor, Mr. Einebnrgh, was iiyurcd. slightly ; and a fireman had his face badly cut. Assistance was immediately procured from tho neighboring stntions, and the New Haven train due at 11 o'clock on Wednesday night, was enabled to reach here about three o'clock the next morning. FIRE ACCIDENTS. Pittsbubo, Jan. fi. Within tho last twenty-four hours wo have had a continuous series of fires and alarms. On Sun urday morning Scoot's board-yard was set on fire and damaged to the amount of about SI, 000, and on Sunday night the bells were ringing all night. Tho first alarm was caused by the burning of a board pile in the fifth ward, at which a fireman was seriously injured. His life is despaired of. The next was a frame house in tho same ward, which was burned te the ground. An attempt was also made to fire Mr. Fehel's stables on Ir win street, also Mr. Robb's shoe store on Market street. BETTER THAN HEARING JENNY LIND. I A correspondent of the RlchinondWbig relates the following incident: V V : " "A gentleman well known In Hiclimona leu home on Friday ev ning. onhls way to the con cert, with ten dollars in his pocket; before reach- ing the theatre he met a poor fellow from the country in great distress. - It seems the poor tot- low's cart had been broken down. it was getting late, lie wa,s rumy nlo,fony hony, and had no means of paying for the repair. The gentleman, seeing the man's distress, asked what the repairs would cost-ho was told about ten dollars. The ten dollars intended for the concert were immedi atcly given fur this purpose, and he returned home without hearing tho far-famed Miss Jenny. Here true sympathy and benevolence gained the victory over seUMndulgcnco. And who doubts that this gentleman felt a calmer and purer joy than any of the hundred, who thronged the thea tre ou Friday n,ight1"v, ' THE FRIGATE ST.

A REAL YANKEE TRICK. A man in Connecticut obtained a winter's sup ply of excellent potatoes, in the following cuto manner. Ho gave out that he was desirous of ob taining a sjiecimen of the best sort of potatoes, and would pay S3 for a peck of such, himself to be the judge. Potatoes poured into his cellar from all the country round, and when the avalan che had subsided, the man handed over his S3 for the bent peck, and the next spring sold potatoes enough to more than cover the original outlay, besides having had a first quality article for home use all t)fl winter. LUCID. The stolid sons of St. Nicholas, have occasion ally, a very singular method of expressing them selves. One day last summer, one of them who had been at wo-k in a corn-field, came limping up to the farm-house, grasping the calf of his leg, and his face expressive of the greatest pujn. " Vat isli dc matter mit you Hans V exclaimed tho good natured host, who sat at the door smo king his pipe. "0 , mine cot 1" exclaimed the sufferer ' I pit niinesef very pad mit a snake, out in tor field' And he pressed tho wounded part with a tighter grasp, "You pit yourself mit a snake !" exclaimed the terrified and humane proprietor. " Den vy, you EXCITEMENT IN WISCONSIN. -The recent seizures and sale of lumber cut up on the Government lauds in Northern Wisconsin, by the United States Marshal, have created con siderable excitement among the residents of that region. Meetings have been hold at Oshkosh, by the lumbermen, at which they resolved that, "with each other, they would use all honorable means of resisting a repetition of a similar trans action.

We had a Telegraph report a few days ago of the accidental blowing up, in China of the Portu gese man-of-war Donna Marie, on which it was .Stated there were a number of American officers bclongng to the sloop of war , Morton. Painful as was the calamity, wc are glad to learn tbat its extent was much diminished by the absence from the fatal ship of all our officers, who fortunately had not yet assembled to enjoy the entertainment which had been provided for them. The accident haptened at Macao on the 29th of October. In firii2 a salute the ship took fire which almost immediately communicated to her magazine, blowing her up at about the hour ap (oiiited for the dinner. There were on board some two hundred officers and men, very few of whom escaped with their lives. Some of the par ticulars are stated in the following extract from a letter dated at Hong Kong on the 30th of October published in the Southampton (Eng.) Advertiser: "We have the painful task to record not mere ly the death of the senior naval officer, but the destruction of his ship, with nearly every soul on board. On the 2'Jtli, the anniversary of the birth of the Queen's cousin, (Don Fernando.) Captain d'Assie Sjlva made arrangements to give a party on board his ship, the Donna Marie II, of thirty- two guns. A number of civilians from Macao and the officers of the United States sloop Marian were invited. " At noon the Donna .Vrflred a royal salute, shortly after which sew ral of the invited civiliaus went off to the vessel, which was then lying at an chor in the Tya. At half past two o'clock IV M. the ship blew up with a fearful explosion; entire ly destroying tho vessel and all on board, except tho captain's son, and some twelve or thirteen men, who were taken out of the water by tho boats of the United 8tates sloop of war The crew consisted chiefly of Lascars, natives of Ooa, with European marines. The number on board at the time of tho catastrophe could not have been far short of three hundred souls. The American officers, it is believed escaped, as they were about to quit tbeir owa vessel wheo the rx ploslon took place,- Who were the civilians on board is not yet ascertained," To Prt.vkvt thb Nmi.s Quowino Dowv into the Toi-.i This is a very troublesome and some times dangerous thing, for I know an instance of a toe's having to be amputated in consequence.
