The Herald sajts of it "Prof. Don.ild aon's lecture was of a high order of merit Thonsh he spolce mainly to the childtvn, it was cridont enough what he could do. The wonder is, how ft nrro deprived of the principal entrance j(,t wisdoBJ,.can pick up so much Information. We ''guess that amiable lady of his, reads the papers to him.

Great excitement is said by the Daduwdl Ban ner to exist in Talapoosa, Ala., in consequence of the silver mines existing in the southwest portion of that country. Silver has been known for years to exist there, but the people have just found out how to separate it from the ore. The other day, savs the Banner, a ccrrnpa'iiy extracted sixteen pounds of the pure metal in a very brief time. ' This has set the country in a rage.'' LONDON QUARTERLY. " AGITATION." A portion of the community, even at tbe South, are very much disturbed at the prospect of " agi tation," forgetful that there has been nothing else from corrupt and hypocritical traitors for neatly 70 years. The truth la, we hare not had agitation enough, bat hare permitted aggression and insult till such a course became one of madness and roi ly. Agitate ! agitate ! we say till the political and moral elements are purified of the foul stench of abolitionism, atheism, and all the other isms that abound in the "free States" destructive of po litical safety and social haraTOT.r. There is anotler bngbear, got up by deceivers and intriersf which scares some people, vis : sectionai divisions. Wc care not if the line of par tv is drawn with the utmost precision between the two scctious ; the slave and tbe free States, if our beloved and pious fellow citizens of the North de sirj it. Anything to accommodafe love to be accommodating. We could lay before our readers language cop-' ied from some of the northern papers, that would appear incredible; but we prefer to give Clay's Ictter-whic.il contains the expressed jttice cf the elements 'at work dowp cast and elsewhere; so j that our readers may have the whole matter in a I M nut shell." The thing is rcry nauseating, bnt it is necessary to taste it, so that the citizens of the South may have some idea of the mental food, polities! and moral, pm which onr religions and learned and jxlRe brethren of the north get so r.it.

The distant public need entertain no fears that any expeditions of filibusters upon Cuba from Southern United States ports will prove sucess fu!, notwithstanding the efforts of the Abolition tating a bloody conte.-t with the free States, under ; press to create the impression that they have the sympathy of the Government at Washington. From all we learn, we arc satisfied that if such attemps be essayed, those engaged iu th 'tu will find the measures to vindicate the law Uiken by President Pierce quite ns effective as those through which he recently baulked the purpose of the Boston Abolitionists. If they (the fllli busters) think otherwise, they have only seriously to make the experiment when wc ihall have "music.," There can be no doubt that most ef fective measures have long since kin taken not cloak of putting down the Abolitionists. To say that this is u-.ieandid and unfair would not m et the case. It is an atroc ious perversion j of the matter. If this contest is brought upon ' u, it will be by the resistance of rebels to Con- 1 stitution.il law, whether they are abolitionists or i not.

There is no war news of any special interest, nothing decisive having taken place. There is .1 complete accord between the four powers England, France, Austria and Prussia. GENERAL NEWS. The general political news is not very impor tant. There had been no further fighting of mo ment. It was stated that the French army in Turkey was lo be augmented to 1CL000 men." The English forces also to be increased. A protocol had been signed by the represcnta- I lives of the four powars, asserting a determination i to maintain the iutegri' of Turkey. It is stated that Austria and Prussia will demand the evacu ation of the Turkish principalities by the Rus sians. Prussia has suspended the cannomtding of Sa listi ia. SPAIN AND TUK UNITED STATES THE WAR. The Madrid Correspondent of the London Times of May 20th says that the statement made by La Patria to the cflect that at the conference between Mr. Soule and'the two Spanish ministers, the af fair of the Black Warrior had been settled to the satisfartion of all parties, is totally false and un founded. An interview took place, but unfortu nately it led to no such desirable result. The question is as far from adjustment, so far as re gards anything that has been done at Madrid, as ever. He says his information on this head is positive. A despatch dated Constantinople, May 15th, says that the Russians are advancing from Dro brmKcha, vd they have cut off all communica tion between Silistria and Varna, as well as the sea const, and have done the same between Varna and Schumla. ARRIVAL OF THE DAN. WEBSTER. TWO WEEKS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. New 0m,r.is, Jnne 5. The steamer Daniel Webster has arrived at the Balize with California dates to May 16th. Her passengers are throngh from San Francisco in less than 20 days. The Star of the West left San Juan on tbe 31st, for New York, with 250 asscngers, and nearly solK),000 in gold. It was reported that the revolution i;i Nicaragua had proved unsuccessful. The Walker fillibustering expedition was alto gether broken u;. Mining operations continue prosperous. Gen eral good health prevails. The Indians in the interior continue to give some trouble. Business rather dull. Produce abundant and but little variation in prices since previous ac counts. Money was tight. The Golden Gate had arrived down from Sau Francisco. The steamer George Law left Aspinwall on the 31t of May for New York, with the regular Cali fornia mails, a full number of passengers, and one million and a half of dollars in iecie.

Another device of the enemies of the South and the Constitution was the pretence that they depre cated agitation while they never ceased to agi tate on all occasions. We have long and anxiously looked for the pre sent epoch in our history, for the accomplishment of which we have ardently contended ; and now that the Constitution is restored we have no fears for the result. There will be some disturbances ! I speedily and fcatisfaetorily adjusted.

DEMOCRACY IN PHILADELPHIA. The first election for Municipal Officers of the Consolidated City of Philadelphia (iue'.ndin? the former. -connty and city) took place on Tuesday, and resulted in an overwhelming defcat of the candidates of tbe Democracy. The newly organized city is divided into twenty-four wards, of which twenty gave mnjoritii for the Whig candidate for Mayor. The returns from twenty Wards show the elec tion to the City Council of 43 Whigs, 11 Demo crats, and 3 Reformers. Twenty-two Wards hare returned to the Select Council 17 Whigs, 4 Democrats, and 1 Reformer. It is said that this defeat was owing to the Ne braska Question the Whiggery of Philadelphia having taken the ground of opposition to the Ne- br.iska Bill, and an adherence to Compromises. " BENEFIT TUfTsOUTH." Several Southern papers, while they rejoice at the passage of the Nebraska Bill, say that they do not ee that H will" be of any benefit to tbe South. We hope southern patriots have higher aims aud nobler motives, than the mere matter of gain or benefit in the vindication of the Constitution. We are willing to submit and suffer, if need be, by the operations of tbe Constitution in its intecrritv while we will not allow ourselves to gain or lose by its violation. This is not a mere money mat- He is said else we must cease to be a North, cease to be free- to bc a leading man at home. V a have not yet men ana commence to be vassals. TV e repeat it, learner! his name and title, though we know that the 3 ortu must unite : we must throw aside all old party prejudices, and preconceived likes and dislikes, and come together upon one common platform of belie:, assistance, protection and sup port. As a Whiff paper, end seakiiig, ns wchare every reason to believe, the true sentiments of the Whig party of Illinois, we are willing to lead off in this movement. Boston, Ohio, and New York Whig papers speak in the same style. This Is the way we have been talking to our friends at tbe South ; assuring them, as our opin ion, that our only safety will be found in the re pudiation of strict party discipline, and a devotion to the interests of tbe. country and the support of the Constitution. Don't be fooled by party names, gents, if you do Jonathan will befool you to some purpose. Southern citizens have no separate or distinct interests, so far as Federal Politics is con cerned. A YANKEE NOTION. They hare got a very big yankuc nolion in Providence, R. I. The common council of the city lately voled to make no approprirtion for the public celebration or' the 4th of July, and have directed the bells of the churches to be lolled for one hour in the morning, one hour at n on, and one hour at sundown, on account of the pas sage of the Nebraska bill and tho recent proceed ings under lho fugitive slave act . FATHER MATTHEW. Father Matthew has had another shock of the palzy. The physicians have advised him to try tr, nor a question, of encroachments on the rights 1 the air of Madeira. He does not avail himself of of others, hut the vindication of our own, which . have been trifled with by those who heap upon ns the moat shameful personal abuse. They may scold and insult as as, much as they please in their wordy clamor, but they shall not compromise onr rights under the Constitution, and put us in the position Of asking a political favor, in place of the rights and benefits bequeathed to us by our fathers, yj.: ; Jjj regard to " benefit to the South" we ptc strat politician see no prospect of the election of a particular candidate or the defeat of another by the measure. W suppose not.

A Lim erick paper is the authority for this statement. If this be true "the Temperance Cause" ought to be ashamed of itself. REMARKABLE OCCURRENCES. If any evidence was wanting that May was a month of remarkable occarrences, the following from the "Tobacco Plnt won,d ml np tho . " This has certainly been a month of phfnHmm in these part.

On going to the scales it turned out tbat hi weighed about 150 pounds, aud thus made, at the rate per iound bargained for, 6,2o0f. In ad addition to this sum, he exacted the present of a purse of money, and of his expenses in joining his regiment. He calculates that the interest of his money will form an agreeable addition to his pay whilst in the army, and that, on his retirement, he will be able to purchase a business with the capital. Corrcfpondencc of the Newark Advertiser. Paris, May, 1854. Considerable anxiety Is felt here in reeard to the course the United States Government will adopt in the pending Europcon war. Every ex pression of public sentiment in tbe United States, in and out of Congress, -favorable to a policy of neutrality, is carefully noted and complacently published in the official paper!

Since then, what is there sacred h tire constitution, in trea ties, in laws, in guarantees of liberty, which has not been desecrated T And now at last tlione 'Compromises' by which o many of us were hnmbngged which were ex alted above the 'higher law' of revelation and conscience, are themselves trampled under foot and by the repeal of the Missouri restriction by revolutionary means a continent lies in lhedu.-t at the feet of the lveocr.il. Thus far our republicanism :s a failure.

I urn nol prepared to say with the Garrisonians that v. c arc to bienk away at once by revolution fn m this criminal alliance; but I do say that our only salvation, because the only true repentance, is iu making the overthrow of slavery our domin ant ivlea.

So ii must be met, not incidentally nut occasionally not comprotnisingly, by the 1'iietids of liberty, bnt with a oneness of purpose and vivacity nd fanaticism of will equal to till Xlf. Does any man believe that iu a fair contest be tween liberty aud slavery Ihc wrong will trinmphl I do not. What then -shall be done 1 1. Iu the first place punish the traitors., as an example for all future times. I henestly lwdiuve that every inan of the free States wh: voted for the repeal of the Mis souri restriction deserves death. Cut there is no legal way of inflicting the jienalty the halter, then, they must esciipe. Cut one thing can be done break them on the wheel of public opinion Let im man deal with them in business banish t hem fiom the social circle, and disfranchise them practically forever. This seems hard, but the race of tuiitois fnfist die before we can live. 2. Let the elections, even for the most inferior officers, torn Uon the repeal of the Nebraska hill, or its amendment so that tho peoplo of the Terri tory shall have the unqualified right to vote slave ry out. To do this, the free trader must give up his free trade tho tariff ron bis tariff -roanu factorers, shipping internal improvement, tem perance, schools all must, for the present, be held in abeyance to the one great question : Sin 1 . America l c free or slave? 3 Although I think tho free democracy are best bated to achieve the end, wo must tolerate and recognize all wirties who will aid as allies. In a Congressional district where the free demo crats have a supposed larger force, let the whJgs and democrats re-nomlnato the free democratic ticket. And where the whigs or democrats have a supposed laiger force, hst the free democra s rc-nominato tho whig or democratic ticket, so rs to defeat the seniles of all parties. In the Presi dential Nominating Convention, let a delegate be sent from each Congressional distiict in the Union of that parly which has the Congressman and let them vote a common candidate. Such a candi date thus nominated, can, in my opinion, be elected triumphantly iu 1S5G. Let that candidate whether Renton. Seward, or Ilule, or any other good citizen be chosen without regard to his locality in a free or slave State. For onr parly is truly n.it ional theirs sectional. 4. Let ns count the cost. All are, I imagine, now coiniiiced that the extreme South is antici pating the dlssoluiirn of the American Union, and have been and now are using the nation all the time for their own ultimate aggrandizement. We njtisl. I lierefore, calculate what is lo be the result of our success. Sup.tosv, then, a republi can elected President, on tho issne abve elated and that the ultras of the South in their madness, overawe the more thoughtful citizens, and secede from Congress , and declare the Union dissolved. Then, either we must whip them in, or allow a peuceablo separation, as circumstances shall war rant. If we fight her, we have the advantage of being the government de facto. We have the or ganizationthe treasnry the navy and the army. If vietoi ions, wc could comel emanciation. If defeated, we would bc abundantly able to main tain mir national existence against the world. And with Canada, Western Virginia. Kentucky, and Mississippi (which would probably nnile with ! us) annexed, we would form a more owerfuI peo ple than even now. In such event all the central portion of North America would be onr. and should Northern Mexico prefer onr alliance, as he no doub: would, as cotton grows upon all sorts of soils in a Riven latitude, wc would even ho able lo raise abund untly that plant, and the sugarcane, for which so many seem now w illing to sell their liberties. Under the railroad system, we have less need to regard boundaries by mountains and water courses, and even in that respect the lakes, the St. Lawrence and the Columbia, to ns would be what the Mississippi is now. While the oceans would wash us on the northeast and west, we could well bide onr time to expand our dominions over the feeble masters of the South to the Gulf of Mexico. But the probabilities are that the South would see her only safety in the Union, and "acquiesce" in the "manifest destiny" of the triumph of human rights, and begin in earnest to clear herself of slavery; till at last we ahouki become peaceably a homogeneous people, and "liberty and union" be forever established. Bnt I have already made this letter too long. F or myself I am ready to complete t.he sacrifice and trittmpfa of our fathers of 1776 at all hazards. I am for no union without liberty if need be through dissolution and war. "I stand by the declaration," trusting ever, till republicanism is vindicated and tbe liberties of mankind achieved. Very respectfully, your friend, C. M. Ct-r. BOSTON RIOTERSk There appears to be a disposition, to punish ome of the guilty parties In the late riot.

They still bear upoo their ban ners that same old "W," which of coarse signifies War, Bosrox, June 6. 1854. The Rev. Theooobe Parceb, fearing an attack on Friday, sent a note to the Mayor asking that th Chief of Police might station a guard at his house. Three policemen were accordingly sent. At ten o'clock, says the Courier, a gentleman re siding in the vicinity, came from his house and questioned the watchers as to whether Mr. Par ker had not invited them in or offered them a glass of water or a cracker; to which they answered in the negative, " Then, " said tho other, " come into my house, and yoo shall have a glass of wfne and some food. Surely you must be thirrty and fatigued." The officers thanked the gentle man for bts hospitable offer, but declined it, say ing that they were on duty and codld not desert their posts. Later in the night about eleven o'clock, another of Mr. Parker's neighbors sent the faithful guardians a pitcher of hot coffee, and some bread aud cheese. Courier. A 3Iob of females iu Wisconsin. On the 23d ult. great excitement was created at Baraboo, Wisconsin, in consequence of a mob j of about fifty females proceeding to the Wisconsin i House, and sei.ing ami destroying all tho liquors of the establishment. They next marched to the saloon of Peter French, but, meeting with resis tance, they desisted, until a number of men inter fered, some in favor and others against the move ment. A scene of violent excitement ensuid, which induced the sheriff to read the riot act aud order them to disperse. They finally retired, but iu the evening held a meeting and resolved to put an end to the liquor traffic ia,the village. proclamation of the Mayor oT Brooklyn. New York, June 6. The Mayor of Brooklyn has issued his proclamation forbidding the inter ference with the rights of the people or citizens to meet peaceably together in the public streets, or elsewhere, for the pnrpoec of public worship. He forbids all processions on Sunday to or from places of worship, the assembling of crowds, & , without a specified object, under penalty of prompt arrest. BODY SNATCHING EXTRAORDINARY. The Elgin Palladium of the 18th ult. has the following accounts of some cvmts which trans pired at Naperville, III., after the execution there of Patrick Doyle, on the 12th: After his cxecu tion a most dtsgracefnl scene took place between J certain physicians and others in relation to the body of the murderer. After the execution his j body was delivered to the sexton under his solemn J and repeated agreement to bury it properly. He proceeded with a physician and his student to the i burying ground, where a grave bad been previous : h' dg and lowered the cofiin iuto it, and then ' pretended to have some business off at a distance ' from the grave. While he was gone the others t unscrewed the coffin, took out the body, and it being thought unsafe to move it in the day time, they hid it in the corner of the fence, and went away, and tbe sexton buried the empty coffin. During this transaction another physician and some others were watching them, and as soon as the first set of the hyenas left, they stole the body from the place where the first set of thieves had put it, and hid it again in the woods. The first party coming back, and finding their body gone, very naturally concluded that the body was in the woods near Ly, and laid in watch. As soon as it was dark, as was anticipated, the second gang came with their wagon to take the body away. It is said that knives and pisto's were drawn, and threats made, but they did not go so far as to use them ; and the disgraceful row was ended by the first party buying the pretended right of the oth er, and took the body to Naperville. About 11 o'clock the same night, another set of medical marauders from Chicago entered the crave yard and opened the grave, but finding nothing but an empty coffin, they were saved the infamy of rob bing it. SCOTCH, GIRL-. A hundred or more Scotch giris, recently ar rived, have gone lo Work in the Ilolyoke (.Mas.) milN. They were sent for. Scotch girls, we be lieve, arc considered as belonging to tho best class of factory opetal ives. They are industrious, thrifty, and economical. They arc the veritable j Yankees of Britain. POISONED. Four or five children were poisoned at Pitts burgh a few days since by pnttiugin their mouth pieces of glasv The glass was covered with white lead and otltcr substances, used in mann- faettirinr sin highly poinon in their effect Two of the children rem in in a dangerous con ilition.
