It is very neatly gotten np, and is, confessedly, sjoaaied after the New Orleans evening papers, as the Herald says, it is something of an experiment in Mobile, and it may not prove very profitable for a time. Onr eotemporary, however, is entitled to great credit for its enterprising spirit and we cordially wish it the moet complete access. The Colorado Unit Congress appropriated, at its last session, for the improvement of the Colorado river in Texas. It is an Important stream, running through the central portion of the State, where agriculture has been rapidly developed en a wide and prosperous scale. The river is, like all'Texas rivers, crooked and narrow, but navigable for steamboats at certain portions of the year.

A large raft near its mouth, or entrance into Matagorda Bay, has always proved an almost insurmountable obstacle to navigation and the improvement of this important stream. We believe that' several companies have been formed to clear this raft away, but none'have this was want of capital. The present company have purchased a steamer and fitted her up with aU the appliances necessary for the task she is to fulfill and they have besides expended a heavy sum on the work.

S. Mail steamship Empire City, Capt Windle, we have files of our Havana exchanges to the 17th inst. Front the continued argument and explanations in the Havana papers on the Crescent City affair, we are disposed to believe that recent events have caused no little exeitement there. The Ditrio Marin gives the following account of the return of the Crescent City to Havana Tba steamahls Craaeaot City, om har rrtnrn from Hi Orteans to Hew Tort, toocbed this siaraiog In oar poet, doabtleM In order ts comp'y with her contract with ths Sovernment of ths United States.

The next day the same paper makes the following Correction In statins that the Crescent City remained entirely withoat yesterday, it most be naderatood ta be a Hr as regards tba landing or taking on board af mails or pasaragen, or the enjoyment of the sltgbtrat liberty of free intercourse. The communication! that passed through the intervention of the Captain of the Port, and with to consent of the authorities, are not Included in the meaning of our words." The Havana papers are discussing theatrical hopes and expectations. We find no notice of movement in regard to an opera company.

M.me Koeka had not begun her concerts, in consequence of the illness of her husband, who had the making of all the preliminary arrange ments. The contributions in Havana, according to the meet for the sufferers by the earthquake at St Jago, have reached the a um of 936,616. The "Item," of the Diario afe 1st Afartaa, has on his table a ball of cotton superior to anything ever produced on the island. It is only to be com pared to Sea Island, being five inches long and seven in circumference, witu a long, silky and very white staple. It is not a selected sample, but taken at random from many others in a field.

The Oaceia, says the amount collected from transient passengers during the month of Sep tember, for permission to land in Havana, was 313 56. The mails from the iuterior present little of general interest The Corrto, of Trinidad, chronicles the death of a woman seventy nine years of age, having 178 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The children seem to have been as prolific as the mother of her sixteen children, several of them had respectively thirteen, fourteen, eighteen, and one twenty two. Dr. Francisco E.

de Abren, a celebrated physician in Havana, died on the 12th inst. Havana. A further perusal of the files ot the VUrio de is Marina, Qaceta and Diario de la Hubana presents very few items of interest beyond what we gave last evening. In the Gsceta we find an advertisement calling a meeting of the committee that had undertaken to have the stock of a telegraphic company subscribed. We presume from the tenor of the advertisement that although there is a prospect for the establishment of a compaiy for this purpoee, the shares do not find ready takers.

The leaders of the JJiano de la Mann are devoted exclusively to one object that of establishing the right of the Government to proceed as it has done in regard to the Crescent City and Mr. Smith. Vattel and the treaty. of "95 are brought to bear npon the question. He says "We are pained In some degree to arraign in Joogment a point so evident to every one who bat ever looked at the principles of international law, and has observed toe course puraued in similar cases by wise Governments.

To peraiat in the demonstration of principles ao plain ia a confcaaion that doubt might exist, and nothing is tart her from the true nature of this question. On the other band we believe we understand thoroughly the spirit that animate our neighbors, and the arrogant presumption that prevails the there ail powerful maaiia. before which the highest pjwer of intellect bows ttacuT among them. To prod oca conviction in such men, or even to reduce tbem to a die. passionate debate, would be aUke sn unreasonable under taking, and contributes in aa small degree ta deter us from an effort so palpably sterile in fruits.

But more mature examination of the whole question and its Immense importance in a theoretical view has at last conquered our repugnance, and Induced as to enter npon a full argument of tbe question. We do this, indeed, not because we expect an improvement in the public opinion of our neigh bora, or any effect upon the clamors of its press, or of tbe orators at ita meetings. Nothing is farther from ear mind. Bat ss circumstaness nave made aa here tbe champion of the Innate powers and tbe indisputable tiebta of all Governments, it is due to our own dignity to make manifest ths we nave acted wltn a ion snowieage at tbe Justice of our cause and of the invincible strength of its Mtndationa.

The editor goes on to cite the English Alien bill, and then proving to his own satisfaction that the UniteaV States is the only country in the world that gives up the right of expulsion, and that she is onlv one in tbe community of nations.

He then lugs in Vattel to prove that Spain has dominion in her own waters, aad cites too exten sivelv and too little to the purpose for us to follow him. Proceeding in due order, we shall to day begin by giving a true inteivjretarion to tba saieemeat sited, admitting for tbs moment. For sake of tbe argument, its applicability to this Island. We never like to resort to subterfage, nor alnda the noints of an arrament. to avoid ita difficulties.

The seventh article of the treaty cannot be interpreted i aivina to foreianers a nrivilere not enjoyed by nativca of the country, for it is not the practice ol nations conceue sueb privileges He then winds np with the following Lastly, Mr. Webster, in recognizing without prevarica tion the truth of the assertion that foreianers can never claim, by virtue of treaty, privileges greater than those enjoyed by natives, definitely settles that question. This reasoning, so solid and irrefutable, la based upon the ad mission that the stipulations of tbe already ao often cited treaty extend to Cuba.

Where will tbey go. then, wnen we demonstrate that it has not. nor ever bad, any binding force on our Island, or anything that concerns it A letter published in this paper this morn ing, giving an account of a great robbery in Geor gia, mentioned that one of the parties arrested claimed to be John B.

Son tag and Alboni are as popular as ever, and the hostility between their respective agents appears to have entirely subsided.

By the way, that very clever correspondent of the New Orleans Bulletin, Hans Yorkel," is in error when he states that both of the agents of these artists (Broogh and Ullman,) are "fierce gentlemen in moustaches." I see them both about everyday, when they are in town, and I have never been able to discover anvthing very fierce, nor tbe moustaches either.

A Noble Act. The Cincinnati Times, of the 9th intt, says: While the steamer Georgetown was lying at the levee on Wednesday morning, a small boy, the son of a passenger, was playing on the lower deck and his cap falling into the river, the lad thoughtleealy jumped after it.

The sailor was much exhausted, and succeeded only by the utmost exertion in saving himself. This conduct is worthy of all commendation, and his name should be remembered to be honored.

The parents of the child never as much as thanked their benefactor.

While lying to under close reefed maintopsail, she carried away all three lower mastheads, jib boom, main yard spanker gaft, stove life and quarter boats, hatch hauser and water casks, and blew away every rax of sail.

A heavy sea was running at the time and break ing over the ship with great violence. The ship labored heavingly, which caused her to leak. The spars attached to the rigging chafed the ship's side badly before the wreck could be cleared away. After two or three days they got up spare yards and came around the south side of Cuba. At daylight on the saw a large shin witn painted ports, with main and mizen masts gone to the deck and head off the foretopmaet.

At 13 M. she set a foresail and stood to the south' ard. At the same time saw a bark with fore and maintopmast gone. No sail set. Spoken.

In the list of pereons lost on board the steamer Atlantic, on Lake Erie, the name of Mrs. CornwelL sister to Elihn Bur ritt, was published in all the papers. We find the first contradiction of the statement in the London Times, together with a very interesting personal narrative from Mrs. Cornwell herself. She was the last lady who left the sinking boat, and was carried to Erie by the propeller.

Here she had to walk a considerable distance bare footed and bareheaded. She was also seriously bruised, and almost covered with some tar into which she had fallen. Remarkable Fatality. Mr. Algernon S.

The Mississippi Legislature was to adjourn on the 20th inst The Natchez Courier says that all the important subjects for which the called session was held, will probably fail. No U. S. Senator will be elected, no new revenue system, so indispensable for the wants of the State, will be enacted, no district bill will pass. A difficulty existed between the House and Senate in relation to the bill for districting the State for congressional representatives.

The Senate passed the House bill to authorize the Canton, Aberdeen and Tuscumbia Railroad Company to transfer their franchises. The Governor signed the bills To authorize the town of Columbus to sub scribe for stock in the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company. To enable counties which have or may sub scribe to stock in the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to issue county warrants. To incorporate the Port Gibson and Grand Golf Railroad Company. rJp Judge Wilson, of Maryland, has decided tbat railroad companies are not only exempt from damage for cattle killed or injured on their reads, but that tbe owners of such animals are responsible for injuries done to the cars and for the detention.

Persons living contiguous to the lines of railroads would do well to remember this decision.

vay genieu. Boston Oct. 13. The Webster men or Boston made a splendid display thia evening in a torch lixbt nrocession. About one thousand torches were carried in the column, together with trans parencies, banners, dec upwards or twelve hundred vounx men joined in the procession.

accompanieu oy two nanus 01 mueic luesirreis through which the procession passed were bril liantly illuminated, and fireworks were displayed at various points. State street presented a magnificent appearance, being almost a solid mass of variegated lights. From the Bee Buildings rockets were let on. and a brilliant display or Pre works was made while the procession was pass ing. The New York Evening Mirror, of 15th inst, says, the long shoremen of Brooklyn, follow ing the example of the same class in New York, were out on a strike yesterday, but the police mustered in strong force and attacked them with their dubs so effectually as to disperse them in all directions.

No further disturbance Is ex pected. Tle Free' Negrr Bxclnatnsu Several of the Northern papers have attempted to find analogies lor the treatment of the Crescent City, at Havana, In the laws which exist in some of the Southern States against the entry of free negro seamen. As New Orleans has, in particular, expressed strong feelings on this sub ject the laws nf Louisiana have been cited as containing a parallel principle to that exercised by the Captain General. The Philadelphia Ledger arraigns ns as follows The krws of Louisiana forbid colored seamen from landing la that state from American ships, sailing from American oorta. and bsve hMn o4 such (arsmea in ships from Massachusetts.

The newspa were vi us were very inJi guaat against tbe people banana mm k.T or BUsaaxanaettS New Orleans with such seamen aa board, aad treated ail complaint against the proceeding with derlaion. Have tbe Spaiuab. Crovernment af Cnailm It surprises ns that the wide distinction be tween these two cases should not have occurred, on the slightest consideration, to the editors, usually so discriminating as those of the Ledger. The parallelism of these cases is assumed entirely too hastily. They are entirely unlike in the facts, and in the reasonings which apply to them.

A prohibition created by law against the admission of a class, duly designated by the supreme power in the law itself, is not at all the same thing as the total exclusion of a ship from a inenuiy port, oy a special edict 'or containing an individual suspected of an unproved offence. The State of Louisiana does not permit the ingress of free blacks, but it interposes no obstacle to the entry of vessels containing them. It win not. permit them to land, except upon terms which are distinctly laid down in the law, with due notice to all the world. If any one attempts to land without these formalities, he violates a known law.

The penalties are to the person. not to tbe vessel. They affect the offender, not the right of the ship to communicate and trade freely. There is nothing done without notice nothing in caprice nothing which exercises or confers any arbitrary discretion to interrupt commerce, or disturb the pursuits of commerce, create novel onences, and inflict arbitrary pun ishment In the late proceedings in Havana the reverse prevails. An offence is created by edict, the accused party is condemned without hearing, and the ship and flag made to suffer an excessive punishment and an aggravated indignity.

There would have been a greater similarity if tne spanisn authorities bad simply forbidden the landing of the person they desired to exclude, rigidly forbidding him to communicate with the shore at all. Whether the exercise of even that power towards an individual convicted of no crime, and even charged with no direct offence against any known law, is a question we need not Inquire into, since the action was different and was levelled against the ship and the nation, not the individual and the offence. Had that more moderate plan been pursued, the cause of complaint would have been very different and the feeling in this country much less. But it is surely not to be patiently borne, that the com merce or this country, and the flag which covers it shall be subject to the arbitrary pretention set up to drive them out of the Spanish ports witn indignity, wnenever the fears or the caprice or any official may designate any person on board to be subject to suspicion for presumed opinions, wnicn mate no aeiuue onence against any known public or municipal laws. There is nothing in any law or practice in any of the States of this Union which gives color of ap proval to eucn national despotism.

Ilallrsmsl Items. We clip from the New York Tribune a string of items touching various railroads throughout the country The receipts on the ranee and Alexandria Railroad for the month of September were 17,003 09. me receipts on tbe Manassas Gap Railroad for the month of September were $4,450. It is in contemplation to build a railroad from Yorktown to Richmond, Va. A convention is to be held at Yorktown on the 19th of October, and the citizens of the surrounding counties have been invited to attend, for the purpose of ad van cine the proposed scheme.

The receipts of September, 1851, were $1 26.467 39 on the main stem, and $30,396 20 on tne Washington Brancn, wbicb, compared with the receipts of the September iust oast, shows an increase this year of $314204 16 on the main stem, $4,557 73 on the Washington Branch making a total increase oi eu. The Cleveland and Pittsbunr Road took $44. 000 for September, which is nearly 25 per cent in advance of the estimate of the directors. Two thirds of the total are from passengers.
