Tbo Chamber of Commerce of Nashville has sent to the starving people of Alabama over $15,000 worth of provisions. Among tho "plums" which fall to the Prince of Wales is tbe Duchy of Cornwall. The revenue last year amounted to $880,000, and the net profit was The Boston Post says: "We are much obliged to Mr.

One gentleman makes $5000 a year from one hundred under grape culturo. Th? City Council of Philadelphia recently passed an ordinance prohibiting persons from standing on the streot corners. Oreat dissatisfaction has been the consequence. The am gun of bonds held by the United States Treasury, in trust for the circulation of national banks, and Government deposit? in Government depositories, amounts to $317,389,000.

It is stated that a sharp dodge has been practiced by some teaohors of froedmen, on surrendering their charges, in selling photographs of themselves to their ebony pup lie at one dollar each. On the 20th, in the Tennessee Legislature, the necessary quorum of fifty-six was obtained; and the majority of the House of Representatives ordered the frmohise bill npon its final vote, and passed it, of conree, by 15 to -il. The books of the Land Office show that there hate been, during the last six months, a great number of Confederate soldiers and Southern pioneers emigrating to the far West and settling in the Territories. The United States Commissioner of Agriculture hao received from Scotland a lot of the celebrated Tioxomia potatoes, which will shortly be distributed to the farming interesta of the country for purposes.

The persistent' rejection of the nomination ol tho Hon. Lswis D. Campbell, ae Minister to the Republic of Mexico, is regarded as a personal affront to the President, and not as hostile to the Juarez Government. It is believed that tbe President1 will refuse to send in any other name. The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser says "We had the pleasure of meeting in the city, on yesterday, Oen.

0. A. Battle, member eleot to Congress from the 'Third District of Alabama. He hears his eiclusion from his seat with commendable fortitude." The Texas Constitution abolishes slavery, places freedraenon an equality with whitea before the law, and gives the Legislature power to guarantee railroad bonds for iron contracta.

Thomas Downing, the well-known caterer and oystermsn, one of the "institutions" of New York for nearly fifty years, died in that city on Wednesday, at the' age of (seventy-five years. Dowmuro was born in Accomao county, on the 27th of January, 1791. He was born a slave. To-day, April 26, is set apart by the ladies of as a day whereon to strew flowers on the graves of our Confederate dead. Efforts are being made by the ladies all over the South to beautify the last resting places of these gallant The Vicksburg Herald says "The Masons of Warren County held a Lodge of Sorrow, on last Sunday evening, at Apollo Hall, in ef tbo mombers of the fraternity who have died sinee the closing of the Lodges in 1862, in this city." Gen.

N. B. Fobbest, who killed a negro in selfdefence on his plantation recently, was bound ovor by the Diotrict Circuit Court at Friar's Point, Judge J. 8. Yxboeb presiding, in the sum of ten thousand dollars, for his appearance at the next term of tbe Court.

The Court did not enter into any examination of the ease. There are, says the Nashville Gazette, two colored saving? banks in this called- tho "National," and the other the "Bureau." We understand that the latter is doing mnch the larger business, but modestly withholds all reports. If reports are the only things withheld, there will be nothing to complain of. Chocked stockings are again coming into favor with ladies who wear looped or short dresses. "Trellis" patterns seem to be the most plenty; but the richest are "Mosaics," and the most brilliant the "Star" styles.

The eastward bound mail train on the Virginia and Ton no is 00 Railroad ran off the traokonthe 17th inst, one mile west of Marlon, Smyth County, throwing the express down an embankment, and breaking the truoks of one of tbe coaches. For Inn atol but little damage was done, and nobody hurt.

The accident was caused by a stubborn mule being on the track, and wouldn't get ont of the way of the train. It appears from British official sutemente el the date of Maroh 2-ltb, that no less than 203,850 cattlo had been attacked by the plague; 120,834 had died; had been billed; 14,373 were unaccounted for, and 28,656 had recovered. It is soon that only per cent, of al attacked are reported an recovered. It is gratifying to know that the disease, from the vigilance of the execution of the recent law, or from the natural aubsldenoe of the plague, appears to be graduojly decreasing for a month past. The week ending March 17th ia credited -with 6261 attacks, tho previous wook 6618.

The Norfolk Day Book tells the following wonderful story: "A sycamore troo was cut down a few days ago on Ferry Point, and In mauling it up a look of hair wau discovered in tho centro of the tree, about four feot from the ground. The hair appeared to be a onrl from a female head, and must have been put in its position some fifty or sixty years ago. A hole had been gouged to tho heart of the tree, the hair put in, and the opening plugged up.

The hair appeared to be as fresh as if lately out from tho human head." ear AM oommuntcations intended for publication tn this Journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Daily No. 18 Hayne-street, Charleston, 8.

It was with great gratification we read in the last proceedings of Counoil a petition from boveral prominent oitizena of Charleston, asking the privilege of introducing pure water into the city.

The want and necessity of this important measure has been long felt as a great obstacle to the health and cleanliness of Charleston, and an impediment to the safety and protection of property. TroBBing and powerful arguments have been brought forward on several occasions to induce ourpoople to establish water-works in our midst Tbe great and only objection urged against the proposal was that the cost would be very great. We grant that the first outlay may be expensive, but the ultimate economy of the measure can not admit of a doubt When we look at the benefits that will result from a oonBtant supply of this pur? element throughout all the veins and arteries of our metropolis, dispensing health in its circulation, and oloauB.ng and purifying with its current all impurities, this alone would bo a sufiioient return for the expenditure, particularly in seasons of drought, and when every household complains of dry oisterns. But? added to this, if we take into consideration the faot that if our energetio Fire Department could have relied upon a full and constant supply of water, the heavy and widespread losses of property by fire, wbioh for the past five years have devastated our city, could have been prevented. The widespread de8truotivenes8 of the fires of 1838 and 1861 is alone attributable to the want of a constant supply of water.

The reeent fire in King street destroyed several buildings from the same cause and property will continue to be destroyed by the one element, nni til the greater element can be brought in supply to snbdue it We learn that the gen1 tlemen whose proposal is now before Conn1 oil oan control capital, and we do hot doubt that the importance of this undertaking will invite the attention of capitalists.abroad. It now only remains for the wealth, prudence, and energy of our people to consummate the measure. Let every property-holder espouse the plan. Let our city authorities, Insurance Companies, and the Fire Department, become stockholders, and ere many months shall elapse our city will boast of a great internal improvement, and be blessed with the acquisition of an important desideratum. WAYS AND MEANS.

We have seldom perused any document, emanating from City Counoil, with greater interest and satisfaction than tbe report by the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, as published in our yesterday's issue. The gentlemen composing this Committee are known to be cautious and praotioal, long to consider and slow to spend, as becomes tho controllers of the city's exchequer. They have constantly manifested a most commendable: prudonoo and economy, banding every energy to meet the obligations of the oity, and pay the interest due on its debt on the first of April. This Was necessary to to redeem, our credit all-important, therefore, and everything else had to bide its time. Now the Committee tell us that these obligations have been properly and promptly met, the credit of the oity is daily improving, our took rapidly returning to its pristine figures; and they begin to feel easier, able to take a long breath and look about them.

They are now in a condition to consider some of the many enterprises and improvements that have been suggested for the advantage of the oity. Paving the streets, and repairing public naturally will olaim their first attention and estimates1 aro invited for the purpose. Of almost equal importance is it that our oitisens should have a place for healthful recreation, to wbioh thoy could -resort in the cool of tho evening, after the fatigue and excitement of the day. This, too, should be in the.heart of the oity, so as to be accessible to the greatest number. We are glad, there: fore, that the Committee offered a resolution of inquiry in regard to this subject.

The square seleoted by them (bounded north by Horlbook'e Alloy, oan by Mo ting, south by Queen, and west by King street) perhaps, tho ajost suitable for the purpose, because roout contrally looatod. The purchase by the city of tbe lots on this square would offer fewer difficultioo than almost any. other? as Ulereare no buildings to be -rased, and the amount of tho porobaBO money, therefore, proportionately diminished. No tito hos, os yet, boon determined upon for a park nor indeed has the idea been fully matured. The resolution of tbo Committee is a mere feeler and wo do not think that Council will not in bo important a matter without first ascertaining the sonso and wishes of tbe oommunity.

It any practicable plan can bo devised for opening such a park in our oity, without increasing the debt, we should bo glad to seo it carried into operation, as it would add no less to tbe beauty and health of the eity than to tbe pleasure of our people. Tho in days gone by, was a favorito reBort of tbiB nature but its distance from the oentre of tbe oity frequently prevented poreona from availing themselves of its pleasant greenBward and oool refreshing breezes. The Mall," in tbe northeastern port, also is available only to those in its immediate vicinity. We need a central park, and earnestly hopo our oity governmont may be able to let have it. BEFORM ACROSS THE WATER AND THE REVERSE AT HOME.

The able London correspondent of the New York Tribune, who, by the way, is tbe person who wrote tbe celebrated letters from this oity about the time of tbe oommenoement of the war to tbe Tribune, writeB 08 follows of what are called tho Reform measures now pending before the English Parliament. As we mentioned, some time sinoe, these measures look to the enfranchisement of a large class of tbe population ofthat country hitherto ezeluded from the privilege of voting, and the reorganisation of tbe Electoral Diet riots. They are brought forward under the leadership of Gladstone, a member of the present Ministry, and decidedly one of the ablest and moat accomplished statesmen now in Great Britain: Tho issue now before the country is not only the acceptance or rejection of Mr. Gladstone's bill, but the existence of a Liberal administration. The ministry having wisely, as well as courageously, resolved to stand or fall by the measure, it lies with the people to close up ranks and go into aotion after their leaders, determined te win or stack their arms in calm, dishonorable, baso enbmission" at the feet of the triumphant Tories.

That is tbe alternative, and one is rejoiced to see it accepted pretty thoroughly. An enthusiasm which the bill was certainly not calculated to ovoko on its own merits seems likely to be excited by the delightful perversity and admirable unreason of its opponents, and especially by the outspoken ranoor of the renegados whom a deficiency of drill in the ranks to which they bad ileaertod, urged to the front. The Tories and their allies bare shown unmistakably that what they hate is particular kind of reform proposed, but reform itself. The arguments put forward by Messrs. Lowo and Horsman, and indorsed by Lord Robert Montague and Viscount Granbourne, assert that unenfranchised masses are radioally unfit for the possession of a effect, the drunkards, brawlers, brutes, and corrupt rae cala that the firstnamed member for the rotten borough of Galne? "a village in the west of to call them.

Mow, tbe Liberals of England are about as much divided in opinion as were tho Abolitioniata of America, to whom I have compared them, as tq bow far it is desirable to interfere with the existing state of things: they differ as to what extent the franchise ought to be lowered, and many were disposed to consider the redistribution of seats of more urgent importance than a mere lowering of the suffrage, which will only practically increase the power of the unrepresented classes, without touching flagrant anomalies and abuses, crying aloud for extinction. Bnt as we Republicans were aU agreed that slavery should, with our consent, go no farther, so the Liberals here entertain no doubt as to the expediency of increasing the electoral body. To admit that the workiegmen of England ought to be permanently excluded from any direct share in the government 1 of the country is to renounce tbe whole creed of Liberalism. The eloquent and burning indignation with which Mr. Gladstone repudiated tbe stigma which tho Tory party attempted to affix to their poorer countrymen was perhaps needed to raise their feelings to the right expressly calculated for that purpose.

liI object," ho said, in answerto the vapid inboIodco of Lord Robert Montague and the stupid apprehensions of the Conservatives, "to the idea of dealing with these statistics if we were ascertaining the number? of ah invading army. The people whb will be admitted to the franchise are our our fellow Christians, our own jtesh and lauded to the skies for their who have borne destitution, starvaion almost, wiih.a patience which isa lesson to aU."

Gladstone, in reply to the Tory Advocate, Lord Montague, and cite them jn contrast with the views of the illiberal and potty-minded disfranohiserB who are ruling tbe legislation of this country. In the onoe free, enlightened and progressive it was held that bur institutions were tbe light and landmark for tbe oi liberalism throughout the they were bo constituted that they oouid stand all tbe oonvulaionB to whioh all other forms of government were Bubjeot, and survive them unharmed in tbe integrity of the principles on whioh they were founded. But there has arisen among us a sohool of political wiseacres who contend that, after the suppression of a rebellion, and the submission and return of the revolting element to its allegiance and duty to the laws, it is neoessary, fox the safety of the state, that we should reverl to the ideas of government prevalent a hundred years we mat? discard republicanism, 'and order our governmental machinery after precedents established by monarchy and feudalism, Tho course of the Liberals of England, who chiefly represent middle olasa of that whioh is, in spito of the aristocratie features of that government, still existing, the real and reliable support to'its power, in the presence of the Fenian revolt and ferment in endeavoring to extend the right of franchise and enlarge the influonoo of the people, should put to blush the blatant liberty-ehriekera of, this nation, who. to serre their own selflsh ends, are pretending to be tho champions par excellence of freedom and progresa, bnt are overturning the foundations of Its Booarity and perpetuity.
