Our telerTsphic despatch morning: announces the arrival at Charleatoo. oa Wednesday, from Havana, of the American Consul. Mr. Owen, with hia family. are aomewbat ineredulona, The Empire City left Havana for thia city about noon on Sunday teat, and at that tine there was not eren a rumor of the intention of Mr.

Owen to leave. On the contrary, the impression had been made that he expected to be sustained by hia Government. The Georgia started for New York direct boot an hour before the Empire City, leaving no American steamer in port. The Isabel only started from Charleston on Wednesday. We do not see bow it was possible for him to reach Charleston, and suspect there is some error in the Ulefraph, which comes from Washington City Ws hare therefore not altered the remarks made elaewhere, which auppone him to be in Havana and nnappriaed of hia recall.

A large number of the inhabitants of Brazos and other neighboring portion of the country had repainl to Brownsville, for the purpose of "seeing what they ahould see." Less or tux Schooweb 1olobxtas. Capt Smith, of the schooner Dart, which arrived yesterday from Buatan Island, reports that the (Central American) schooner Doloretaa, hence for San Juan de Nicaragua, was totally lost on or about the 88th September, in the Bay of Ascension, about 130 miles northward of Belize, Honduras.

We learn from the Tampico Defensor of the 8th inst.

that quite an exciting debate took place on the 1st inst in the Congress of Tamaulipas, assembled at Victoria, on the subject of the insurrection along the Rio Grande. Gen. Can ales, Governor of the State, asked permission of Congress to go in company with D. Jesus Cardenas to treat with the insurgents, and endeavor to pacify them, as it is expressed. After a protracted discussion the Congress refused to grant the request, but gave the authorities power to employ all the forces of the State, including the National Guard, for the purpose of suppressing the revolt and authorized them to raise funds, by hypothecating the public revenues.

Senor Villanano made a violent speech against making any concessions to the rebels. Tax Italia Ofkba. It appears that we are really to have an Italian Opera Company here this winter, under the superintendence of Maretzek. If he comes, accompanied by the same troupe he had in New York last summer, he will be welcome. It is announced that the Placide Varieties theatre is to be the chosen temple of these Italian votaries of music during their stay among us.

The St. Charles, we opine, would have been the preferable place, as last year's experience, during the Lind mania, fully proved its adaptation to musical entertainments, whilst its size better suits it to operatic entertainments than any other theatre in the South. But managers must be business men as well as artists. Maretzek finds it to his interest, we suppose, to go to the Varieties, and we hare no objection, save that that elegant establishment, with all its advantages, will not be quite large enough, we fear, to hold the crowds of amateurs who will undoubtedly flock to it to hear the Italian performers. The manager of the theatre and the troupe will both profit thereby, however.

It is not to be feared that an Italian troupe will do any injury to our old established favorite, the French opera. It is to the interest of both companies not to run a race against each other. Besides, the French opera need fear no rival thia eason with the large and superior troupe of performers it promises to give us. Both companies will be patronized, and liberally. Meanwhile, the New York papers are.

asking each other the question, Shall we have Maretzek this winter We learn from the Greenville (S. Pa triot, that the Cooperation majority in Greenville District is 1,200, and the majority on the same side in that congressional district, is supposed to amount to 3,000. The Patriot is a strong Imon paper, and the majority in Greenville District may be considered a Union majority. EP Taylor Murphy, under sentence of death, was executed at Campbelltmlle, on ednes day, the 15th inst. He was conricted of the murder of his wife some time since of liavin struck her down, and afterwards burning her re mains upon the hearth of his own house.

He wrote out a confession before his death, in which he confessed to the murder of his wife also to having murdered seven of his own infant children. 'Henry Stoddard. Esq of Davton. Ohio. bas presented $1,000 to the American Colonization Society.

Three young men, in Mentor, Ohio, were engaged in that semi barbarous practice called horning" a new married couple, on the 14th inst.

Among ether pranks, they were firing a cannon the third discharge burst it, and a fragment passed through the head of the young man who applied the match, killing him instantly. His name was Ellison, and he was about twenty two years of age. The top of bis head was completely torn off. man by the name of Murphy, living near Gallatin, Mo, about two weeks since murdered his wife by beating her to death. He made his (cape, but parties are in pursuit of him.

The Spanish Temper. It seems to be pretty well established, by con rnrrent reDorts to everv Quarter from asnmg tnn Citv. that the President has removed Mr. Owen from the Havana Consulship. This is unexpected by Mr.

Owen for, notwithstanding the positive affirmations to the same effect, which ma.i. in tVio nsners before the Empire City i.n v.nWL ara confident no notice of mAl wa. carried out to him by that vessel. On thai rnnirarv. it was understood in Havana, nn ih.

iQth. that he considered his letters receiv ed by Jier as favorable to bis retention in office, yjj, mext steamer will take out the notice of his removal and tne appointment 01 a successor, ill surmise him very disagreeably. The Spanish papers appear to think the removal of Mr. Owen an unfriendly act and cite it as an evidence of Dolitical sympaUiy on me part of our Government with the objects of the expeditionists. This is treating the matter in a very illiberal spirit The disposition of the American authorities to arrest the expedition, and disavow its purposes and the parties connected with it has been made sufficiently clear by their acta Proceedings which they may have instituted, on the mere score of commiseration for sunVrinr rountrvmen, either to solicit for them arts of mercy and humanity, or to mark their disaoDroval of the neglect or such acts, wnen they were to be expected, and might have been properly extended witnout just onence 10 ine Spanish Government, are very nastily judged when they are ranked as a connivance at inter national wrongs.

In any change of the Consulate at Havana if such change has been niad the Government does not at all modify its judgment of the acts of the prisoners who have fallen into Spanish hands. It only marks its opinion that even political criminals are entitled to the con siderations due to suffering, even if frail, hu uanity and that the duties of charity and mercy ought to be exercised and invoked by our public agents in behalf of Americans, who may be in captivity or peril in foreign lands, in every way which is not positively prohibited or justly ol fensive to the foreign power. The Spanish complaint that the American Government ps not satisfied wiih the degree of exertion used by its own officer to mitigate the sufferings of his own countrymen under a Spanish judgment, of which he did not dispute the lawfulness, has rather the air of a determination to find fault even at the cost of officious censure of acts purely of domes tic policy, than of a just sensibility to the rights independent Governments. Spain has no business to make cause of complaint for the deal. inrs of the United States with its own agents nd the complaint that it does make, in this in stance, is frivolous.

Mr. Uwen, himself, will have little cause to he gratified that his retention as Cousul is made a sort of national point by the favorers of Spanish rule, as it is, iu Cuba But the whole tone of the Madrid press, and. indeed, of the' officials of the Spanish Govern nient since the overthrow of the expedition of Lopez, is boastful, threatening and war like against the United States. They make magnificent proclamations of the hostilities, by which our whole country is to be overrun anil desolated, and our commerce swept from every sea by Spanish privateers, unless satisfaction is made for a long catalogue of imputed wrongs among the foremost of which is the injury done to the Spanish Consulate, and the property of Spanish subjects in New Orleans, in the August riots. Well, we shall see.

These things had better be attended to in a quiet spirit and with a becoming moderation of tone, which will secure a temperate discussion, and a sober and unimpassion ate decision. Spain may get something by the regular operation of known laws, in the way of indemnification for actual losses. The local tribunals, which have the jurisdiction, will attend to these matters, without troubling the Federal Government with making them a national affair. AH this is plain sailing, and there need not be any Spanish bravado to help it forward or ob struct it It will only obstruct and should there fore be dispensed with, unless its aim be to po voke, and that would be a sad Spanish blunder. Iu regard to the national aspects of the case, we have no objection to see the Spanish claims stated iu the best form in which its diplomacy can set it forth, and are not afraid to trust the author of the letter to Hulseman for such a reply as the occasion may deserve.

UT A correspondent of the Boston Traveler, writing from Hanover, N. says that on Sunday, the 12th inst, at the morning service in the College Church at Dartmouth College, as the clergyman had proceeded a little way in his sermon, the front door was suddenly opened, and a person in night clothes entered and walked rapidly up the broad aisle some distance, when lie was arrested and carried out His ghastlv countenance and delirious look at once rerealeJ the truth, that Thomas B. Mack, of the senior class, from Gilraanton, sick of typhoid fever, had escaped from his sick chamber in the momentary absence of his attendants, and was on his way to his accustomed seat in the church. The agita tion of the audience may easily be conceived. Order, however, was restored, and the services were finished in the usual course.

The young man died on Monday night the 13th inst. Editor Out of Lutk. The junior editor of the Baltimore Argus (Dem.) was a candidate for one of the City Councils at the late municipal election in Baltimore, and defeated in a strong Democratic ward. This would have been a nice thing for the Whigs to crow over, but the junior editor of the Patriot (Whir) was a candidate in a strong Whig ward, and also defeated, which makes a good stand off. Probably their readers were afraid that if elected the editors would pay less atten tion to their paper, and voted to keep them where they are most useful.

A Respectable Burglar. Edward Wallace, the supposed burglar, who was shot dead on the premises of William Reed, near Philadelphia, before daylight on Tuesday morning, the 14th inst, was a native of New York, a man of supe rior talents, a splendid penman, always hereto fore considered honest and was about to be married iu a few days. Z.sT' M. Vacquerie, editor and publisher of the Ecememeut, has appealed against the verdict of the jury, condemning him to six months' impris onment and to 1,000 francs fine. The Raleigh Register says that the Gover nor of North Carolina has appointed Professor Ebenezer Emmons, of New York, to conduct the geological, mineralozical, botanical and agricul tural survey of the State, provided for by act of the last Assembly.

A friend of ours, who has just returned from the prairies west of Missouri, informs us that th? Indians are beginning to complain of the scarcity of what is with them a very essential article ol food, viz dogs There is no such thing aiuoue the savages as a feast or a genteel, upperjteu dinner, or quiet csy social party or family re union, or 12 o'clock luncli, unless a dog fricassee or puppy cutlets, or canine roast, he anions the Jishes.

A Pawnee "Sam Weller" would st om an invitation, from his brothers of the broom and cockade, to pass an agreeable evening with them unless the "twany with triminins" came ou the table "at sharp seven," not in the shape of a "boiled leg of mutton," but a "barbecued terrier. It appears that the Indian gourmets and gour mauds have been having an easy time of it lately the war tomahawk was buried the corn harvest was abundant pumpkins grew all around buf ilo was plenty, and dogs were howling on all sides. The villages have been the scene of muc festive gaiety; the wigwams have frequently seen the "feast of dog meat and the flow of rum In consequence, the sunply of canine flesh is run uinr low: the uors are no loueer dog cheap they have gone to thejtogs copper colored gour mets begin to look thin and Bad bronze tinted gourmands are talking of going into nioumiug. In this lean and unfortunate state of the Indian dog market, we Uiink that it is incumbent, if not on the American Government at least ou the American citizens, to take advantage of the cir cumstances, to make a grand razzia on all the cur tribe in the United States, aud to bhip them off to the Western prairies. We have seen the trouble and expense to which our municipal governments have frequently been put in order to get rid of the surplus canine population which now and then overflows our city.

Poisoned sau sages are useful, but they ore dangerous besides they cost the tax payers money. We are contin ually inflicted with cargoes of enfeebled poultry and antique eggs from the upper country here is an opportunity for a signal revenge. Let some patriotic individual rid us of the puppies that swarm around the city precincts, ship them up the river, and reap a profitable return from the appetites of Indian braves and petitsmaitres. We claim nothing, no reward or title for the idea; but we trust for humanity's sake that it will be carried into effect "Lo, the poor Indian," Ac trS Mr. Crawford, an American sculptor, who nas resided lor some time at Rome, has been elected an honorary member of the Society of Fine Arts, of St Petersburg.

Speak to him, you rascal, you." Good morning, Mr. Ox." 1 Later from Belize. By the arrival yesterday at thia port of th schooner Dart from Belize, Honduras, we hav received files of tbe Watchman newspaper to the 4th inst learn that the State of San Salvador has at length finally settled all its difficulties with Great Britain, and entered into a treaty of peace, amity and commerce, ratifying the arrangement that was made on board the Gorgon, in Novem ber, This agreement has been brought about between Don Ignacio Gomez, Commissioner 'on behalf of the Salvador Government, and MrsChatfield, her Britannic Majesty's Charge d'Affairea, and duly confirmed by Mr.

Duenas, President of that State. The same paper mentions a report that the authorities of Yucatan have taken forcible pos session of the Island of Ambergris, and hoisted the Mexican flag thereon, and that they have stationed there an armed force of 250 men. The Watchman affirms that this island has been in Hie hands of British settlers, and been consider ed British property for twenty years. It makes the following remarks in reference to the subject How the Yurataniani bavr then ventured to take lurh ten. as it rrportc tbey bare, must be a matter ot tur nn to alL Fur even il tllev hail a claim tn that lalitnri.

It is scarcely to be believed, however, that so gratuitous an insult should liave been ottered to the British Itaf. wurn so uncalled for; although it merely carries out the old saying of give an Huh and take au ell ror. from being allowed to board British veiuiela in gti me ud the nver Hondo, rotinscate their rood, and tnaXi unsouers of their persons, thev now wish to seize on their lands. Ou the return of his Exrellenrv the particulars this transaction may transpire, when we shall have mar pleasure in laying it before the public.

In accordance with a published notice, a WIiik mass nu i1 ing was held last evening in the ijare ovlwccn l'oydrns Market and Baroune street, on Poydraa street. The high balcony of the corner bull. ling waa lifted up for the accom utodation of the speakers and decorated with flags. Tli meeting was called to order by Samuel U.

Wilson. The President of the meeting, after having briefly ex pressed hia acknowledgmeuts for the honor conferred upo him, informed those present that J. B. Oribble, J. W.

Price, Major Ranney and Randell Hunt would address them. Those gentlemen came forward in the order in whii thry were named, and occupied the attention of the meet lug for several hours. Apart from tile political topics uhirh were discussed, many subjects of vital importance to this community iu a commercial and cial point of view were touched upon, and to such remarks the hrief notice which we give of the speeches will be confined. Messrs. Gribble, Price and Ranuey.

who each made but brief addresses, argued in favor of a remodeling of the tat institution, the institution of free hanking, and tbe con struction of railroads. The advantages of these measures were preaeuted in a forcible manner. Major Ranney re viewed the history of our city during the last ten or fifteen years, pointing out from the experience of tbe past the a vantages which might be acquired by wise legislation here after. He a'ao declared in favor of a homestead exemption law for Louisiana, the adui'iion of some messures which would secure sufficient water for the use of Ounilu with teas cost than has to be sustained at present, ami a system of sewerage for the city. Randell Hunt spoke for nearly two hours.

He com inenced by referring to the compromise measures of tli late Congress, and lauded Welwter, Clay, Cass, r'oote aud others who took an active part in forwarding the passage of them. He said tliat Louisiana had not red in th une ratio as her sister States of the North, South, Kast and West, and be attributed that circumstance to bad legishv ton. 1 Tbe constitution, he said, declared that representation hail be equal; that for every voters there shall be Representative in tbe lower bouse of the Legislature. Thi was republican and Just but tbe Senate was differently ganized, and although the constitution declared, in effect, that for every IO.ijuj iubaitanta there shall be a Senator laoriso added to this clause deprives New Orleans of a full representation, and one man In tbe country parishes is pre umed by this Injustice to bare as much power ol re pre mutation as two iu New Orleans. Tbe evil resulting from tlrs be illustrated by instancing a rase at the last session of the Legislature, when a bill, remunerating New Orleans some measure for the losses sustained by the Sauve ere we.

was defeated in tbe Senate by one vote, after having 1 the House, in which the city was fully represented. He spoke in terms of contempt of the aricuments used to remove the capital from New Orleans, aud called them miserable and puerile attempts to gloss mean injustice Men. he said, who declared that they could not legislate iustly within tbe corrupting influence of New Orleans, branded themselves for the purpose uf casting a stigma on he city. He also referred to the acts of the last Legislature erect ng a Board of Liquidators and a Mayor's Court, and showed the evil effects of bad legislation in their operation or rather inoperation. He contended that free banking properly understood.

contemplated corporat tans.andas such was repugnant to existing lawa of the S'ate. The fn banking system, lie said, was tbe authorization by the State of the issue of bank bills by a corporation that would de posit sufficient security iu the hands of the proper State officer fiir the redemption uf its issues. Tbe next subject discussed by Mr. Hunt waa the ad van tages of railmada and the prohibitions which actually exist in our State laws against that species of enterprise. He said 'lie re were only eighty one rmlea of railroad in Louisiana, and contrasted our advancement, in tliat respect, with slier States.

He enlarged upon the advantages of rail roads, and declared the justice and equity of the proposed system of taxation to prosecute them. Property owners. lie said, were benefited to a great extent by railroads, and they should be made to hear an equitable portion of the burden of constructing them. The second branch of our Government, the Executive Department, waa next reviewed by Mr. Hunt.

Uesaid that the Supreme Court, as at present organized, decided cases. but did not establish a principle. There were five district u.tges, each had hia own opinion, and each would decide a case in his own way. If an appeal be taken to the Supreme Court from one of the district courts, the judges, as is fre luently tbe case, may be divided, and. according to the cuaUitution.

the derision of the lower court stands rood. Another salt precisely of the same nature may be tried in mother district court and a different Judgment be had On appral to the Supreme Court the judges are strain di ided, and the opinion of the district judge is declared to be the law, although it directly conflicts with the judg ment In a similar rase. Mr. Hunt also reviewed the law in regard to the right of appeal in criminal rases. The Court of Errors and Appeals, which was created by the act of lsS, entertained questions of fact as having a hearing upon qnes tiens of law, but the present Supreme Court has refused tn entertain a question of fact, and a man who in consequence was not permitted to make a defence is now suffering in the penitentiary for an alleged offence.

Mr. Hunt concluded his speech by again referring to the compromise measures and the course of Mr. Soule, who had declared that he would not submit, but would endure the wrongs inflicted by those measures upon the South. Mr. Hunt declared that no such right as secession existed, and that tbe only right an oppressed portion of our people would have, waa that of revolution.

He said he could not imagine how Mr. Soule reconciled the allegiance which he swore to the Lotted States, before becoming a citizen of Louisiana with hia ideas of secession. Mr. Hnnt continued, at some length, on this subject, and concluded by au eloquent avowal of hia undying adherence to the Lnion. A band of music attended the meeting, and every thing was conducted harmoniously.

Wheat in Chicago. A writer in a late number of the Chicago Democrat complains bitterly of the quotations of the markets by the Chicago papers. He says that the item of winter wheat is quoted at from ten to fifteen cents above what is actually paid. This is said to operate against farmers, as it deceives them into bringing their grain forward, and keeps buyers from abroad out of the market When the quotations of the Chicago papers were from fifty to seventy five cents, the actual sales were from forty to sixty cents, and but two buyers at that, and they theu as now having it all their own way. When a farmer shows a choice sample, and refers to the papers for the seventy five cents, he is informed that no such prices are paid, and the books are offered to his inspection to prove it But as he is in market with his wheat, this is very poor consolation, when he has to let it go at sixty cents.

This new work, of which we have heard so much in the Alabama pa pers, hss at lriigib reached this city. We are indebted for a ropy to the attention of J. B. Steel, bookseller. No.

CO Camp street. The full title is, A History of A lab and incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, from the earliest period, by Albert James Pickett, of Montgomery, in two volumes" Our ropy is of the third edition, a fact which shows the work to be in great demand. The first edition cannot have been publiahed more than a few months The work ia got up in an extremely handsome style of typogiaphy and illustration, and ia highly creditable to the publishers. Messrs. Walker Jt James.

The work was exe cuted in Charleston. and will compare favorably with the handsome! iaauea of the Northern houses. This history has been a long time in preparation, and has rust the author a great deal of labor and a large expenditure of money. There are few men in our Southern country who have, at the same time, the leisure, tbe means and the literary tastes, to enter upon a course of study, research, travel and outlay, such as Mr. Pickett has pursued so inde fatigably in gathering the materials and preparing this book.

He has exhibited an indefatigable zeal aud liberality uf expenditure in the pursuit which is worthy of un quail lied praiiw. Tbe results are extremely valuable, as contributing to the history of the whole Southwestern region of the United States east of the Mississippi. A more precise title to the book than that which it bears would have given prominence to the early lnatory it coutaius of the Territories which have become the States of Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mis ussippi. Only about one third uf the work ia devoted to the proper history of Aialiama, but that portion is extremely interesting, and embodies a mass of information which has not heretofore been recorded in a permanent form, and much of which ia entirely new. even to students of history.

The volumes are, indeed, full of authentic facta which are of great interest aud value, and they will doubtless he re lerred to by future writers of the various States, as authen tic soiucc uf history. They should be in the possession ot every reader who desires to be familiar with tbe early his tory of this quarter of the country a history which is full of romantic incident and adventure, as well as a record of vast political results, and grand political and social develop ments The literary manner in which the work is executed scarcely equal to the value of the matter. It is the first production of one not accustomed to writiug. and the style accordingly has not the finish as a longer habit would have acquired. Indeed, it improves as the work proceeds, show ing tliat use was enabling the writer to master his subject and arrange and clothe his material with more rase.

A lit tie rare in pruning some of the redundancies which have arisen from the profusion of his material, and in correcting a few inaccuracies that have crept in from haste of compo sition, would, iu another edition, avoid most of the faults wbii critics of style will be sure to find in this hut none will dispute the interest and great importance of the mat ter. or fail to wish tliat the labor and cost expended on it may lie speedily and amply remunerated to its author. CITY 1 EL I E. Inquests. Coroner Speddeu on Thursday even ing field an inquest on tbe body of a white man whose name was uuknowu.

Salvador Nobolo was further rommited on another charge ot having, at the same time and place, assaulted and wound ed Henry McCluskey, with the intent to murder him. Terrible Assault. Mrs. Darbison and Marv King were yesterday charged before Recorder Caldwell, with having committed, as is stated in the affidavit, a most inhuman assault on Julia McConuic, in St. Thuniaa street To read the strange affidavit made in the case, one would suppose that great damage was done, but acquaintance with such matters leads us to think tliat the whole matter will settle down to a mere good old fashioned assault and battery.

On Wednes day evening last tbe store of Babcork Fenniil, mo Com mon street, was burglariously entered, a desk broken open. fifteen dollars stolen, and the store set on fire in three different places Luckily the fire waa extinguished be fore much damage was done. Tbe next day, from informa tion furnished to Recorder Caldwell, a warrant waa issued for tbe arrest of Antonio Craig, alias Frank Darmont, who was suspected as liaving been engaged in the above rascality We thought at the time the warrant was issued that the wrong person had been spotted," as only a few asys had elapsed since Recorder Senzenraa sent tbe above smart chap before the First District Court, for stealing tbe watch of Victor lasher, in Esplanade street. It seems, however.

hat Craig, alias Darmont, has been abroad, for he was to day arrested by the Second Municipality police on the above charge. Stealing Jewelry.
