THE LONDON TIMES.
Mr. Russell, the Loudon Times correspondent, it is
9\id, is commissioned to pay a visit to the Cotton Con
federacy, with a view to ascertain what Public Opinion
on the Secession question really it there. The studied
and systematic mritep'e.eotatijns of that part of the
country, by the Northern Republican journals, are too
much now, even for intelligent Englishmen—aud heuee
the despatch of a special correspondent, by the leading
British journal, to enable it to see aud judge for itself —
Tae step is o: e which does as much credit to the impar
tiality as to the enterprise of the “Thuuderer,” and if
Mr. Russell cau only only dispossess himself of the pre
judices common to his countrymen, we have no doubt
that be will couvey to his trans atlantic readers impres
sions of Southern society and institutions very different
from tbo-e they have received through the medium of
Yankee newspapers and romances.
At a St. Patrick's celebration in New York, Mr. Ros
«■!! was pre-ent, and m. called up by a toast, in ac
knowledging which he said:
“It had been his unfortunate lot to be rather a stormy
per re I than a bird of good omen. Ho had been present
among scenes when' blood had been cast out as water;
but lie hoped aud trusted, and believed that there was
no hand iu this country which could be raised to shed a
brother’s blood. (Great cheering.) A speaker hud
pointed him out as oue sent to take notes: aud he cer
tainlv hoped they would have a very general circulation.
But he would answer that he would nothing extenuate
nor -el down aught in malice. Into the grave iu which
the liberty of this country would go, would he buried
the hop*, s’ of humanity all over the world. He whs a
constitutional-government admiring Englishman, of Irish
birth, and presented himself before them as an Kngllsh
in iu, with stroi g Li»htendenci«s. Nothing would more
grieve his heart, or the li art of any man who, in any
p»rt of th > world, sought the development of the right
of man to make his own laws and to govern himself,
than to witness their fall. But he was daily met with
the assertion that the experiment had reached its end in
••'lies. For Gad’s sake, exclaimed the speaker, preserve
those in Europe from that, [applause,] and enable them
with logical facts to strike a blow for the liberty of nun
kind on the other side of the world. (Great cheering )
He catne among them at a period of great difficulty and ex
citement. He recognized in the contending voices of the
storm around him, the intensity of the emottnns and pas
sions that gave it birth, but he could not aud would ni t
believe that the people of the Puited States were about
to whistle down, a prey to fortune, the greatest legacy a
nxtioo ever received. [Great cheers.]
A GLIMPSE AT THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION OF
1839.
Not many persons remain even in Virginia who wit
nessed the celebiated Convention that sat in this city in
ls “.*-:*o. Fewer still arc to he round in the North.—
Among these latter is Edwin Croswell, at that time edi
tor of the Albany .1 r./«s, who was at Richmond, as the
guest of “ Father Richie," and iu company with Martin
Van Buren. In answer t > some inquiries, Mr. Croswell,
in a privat ' letter to Mr. Bryan, of Batavia, N. Y , gives
the following brief but graphic picture of that noble
DOivoi men, wuosc uac, iuuw», ummu utm
look upon sgiin:
The Virginia Convention *\t In 1S2?», the first year of
General .1 ickaon’s Administration. It yu worth while
to have lived then, to have sem that remarkable body of
men. Except, if. a qualified sens*, our own State Con
vention of !'J'\ the p .- mt century had not witness (1
anything that could approach it in character and in-r
est, nor ein it look upon its hke again. Monroe, the last
of the Presidential race of the Ancient i>oc.:niun urns its
presiding officer; and M idison,Governor Giles,John k it
d >lph,Watkins I.eigh, Chapman JofcnsoD, and other re
markable men, were leadmg participants in its detib. ra
tions. That was a scene not to be torgo'ten.in which a
President of the Revolutionary stock, occupying the an
cient Chair of t « lla s-e of D legates,a te.’ic of the earlier
heroic days, saw before h in, iu earnest debate, anothei
ol the Revolutionary Presidents, at who e feet, outstretch
ed on the c.irjiet, wa- the reporter Stambury, re-ortiug
to this posture to c itch each word as it fell from the lips
of venerated w -dom, that i:i the htdtralt't, in the Con
vention of 1767, m numerous State pajiew and in many
forms of statusmanubip, had become oracular. The Da
guerreotype, tl. u unfortunately notin vogue, could not
t.ave pr. -ented a more striking group. The Convention
was full of talti t and renown ot other days. SJ rorte,
though attenuated and showing signs ol age and fatigue,
was, m hi< three-cornered hat, a venerable and itnprea
aive tvpe ot hi-sschool. Madison, Its senior, was more
elastic in > tuner, but treble iu voice. Roth wore shorts,
and buckle; at the knee and in the shoes. Randolph was
IQ good health, and becoming in his appearance, and
fre r than u<!iai Irom characteristic aingular.tiea- *hat p,
clear and peculiar in debate. I am quite sure that Henrv
A Wise, then a young man, at the be-inning of his public
career, was» meiuber ot the Convention;* and that it was
• Mr Richieaaid, “That, «r, bat this monaei ,
then-ist lising loungman in the Commonwealth." The
great qi.. -Cot: of the day was the basis of repres- nl ilion
—a question mooli's cltjj aU the power and talent of the
antagoniatic division which threatened at one time the
dis-olutiou of tlie body—and the adjas’ineui «! which
at last as the slavery topic has ever b.-eu, was ti e resell
qt ountpromise. It was my fortune to hear Mr. Randolph
ou that subject, ;nd Mr. Madison, Governor Giles, Mr.
I.eigh, Mr. John-on, Mr. S anard, 4c.,on less important
discussions.
You were too young to recollect this assemblage ol
sage; and great men; tut you, who are well read iu the
his ory of the States, anil the political annals of the
country, know that it was her last public bodv in which
statesmen of the Revolution participated, and that, in
the -cope and ability of its discussions, the dignity of its
deliberations, and the parlismeuiary decorum of its pro
ceedings, it was an illustration of the bt st features of our
instiru ur s, and au example, not lost npon tho action ot
iis own times, iu the process of Constitution making —
One thing it did not do, nor think of doing, that of crea
ting au elective judiciary.

FRANCE AM* THE CONFEDERATE STATES.
The Paris correspondent of the New York Tmita, no
more friendly than the paper lot which he writes to the
t'onfederate S'a'rs, speaks as follows, iu a letter dated
March 1-t, of the effect in France of the lower tariff pol
icy of the latter govern met.t, compared with the bill
adopted by Congress at its last session.
Theneit morning the t/onitiur, official journal, cou
i.oi.'.I i" Its n..:, ir il bulletin the following significant
words, w hich may be regarded as a sort of indication of
the attitude of the French Government in presence of
the new state of tilings :
“The North," savs the official journal, “cares little for
liberal idea.- when the question ot a tariff is up, and wheu
it has not before it the interests of the South, a country
essentially agricultural aud entirely devoted to free trade.
The new tariff increases all the duties, cither directly or
bv comhiuatious which substitute specific for ad valorem
ra'es. This retrograde reform has been badly received
in Fluglaud, and will not be better liked in France.—
If the l uiou is not re-established, the programme ot
Free Trade proclaimed by the South will open up to our
agricultural aud manufacturing industry a new field of
profitable trade and of large compensations.”
Although it was paipable enough that a change had
taken place in F'rench sentiment on this subject, I did
not anticipate so speedy a confirmation of the statement,
aud especially from so high a source. Other papers have
taken up the discussion, and for the moment it seems as
if the sympathy of France, and perhaps England, is to
be enstraiigcd from the North because of this tarifl
question. The great question cf slavery is to be ignor
ed in that of commerce.
The “ CWrftir Je.t fWt OWt" has information rela.
tire to the actlou of the Fiencb government in regard to
future commercial relations between Franco #nd the
Southern Confederacy. It indicates first:—
“ The treatment which vessels arriving under the flag
of secession will meet in French posts. Without in any
way compromising the position which it may hereafter
take towards the States that have jmt separated from
the American Union, In case they should definitely es
tablish a Southern Confederacy, the F’rencli Government
h is transmitted to the custom house officials in its vaii
ous ports, orders to recievc provisionally, on the same
fooling as the colors,of the United States.the Palmetto,
and Pelican fi^g-*, and all others of the seceding States.
The custom-houses of our seaports will not ftickle at
anv irregularities in force, that the clearances of Ameri
can ships from Southern ports may present, by reasou of
the interruption of the administration of the federal cus
tom houses in any of the States. In order to assure to
goods brought by such ships thp scu.3 treatment as if
ti es u»d com., from p rt. not separated *rom the Luiou,
with regular clearances, it will be suhicicbt that the con
sul ir certificates, or in deftult of tqch certiticates, such
other vet ifications as trade ni»» be able to furnish—give
a certainty that the goods were originally from the Uni
ted Stale*.’1
The “Courrier" also furnishes the text of an article in
the Paris Month ur of February S*. which relates to the
new tariff of the United States. The following is one of
us paragraphs;
,• a reconciliation should b* brought about in t! j
Un ted Status, which do*>u m; tt arum impossible, we

TOE VICTORY OF MRS. GAINES.
The annals of litigation furniab but few more interest
ing cases than that of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, which
was decided in her favor on Thursday, by the Supreme
Court of the United States. We copy from the New
York Ti.nts the following rctuwe of the material (acts
which make up the history of the ca9e :
“ Daniel Clark, who was oue of the early settlers in
the colony of Louisiana, was a very remarkable person.
His sagacity, prudence and business tact soon placed
him at the head of its monetary world, while, his beauty
of person, popular character, and agreeable manners af
forded him a similar position in the social circle. In
1S<'2 he became acquainted in Philadelphia with a lady
of extraordinary personal beauty, named Zulime Oar
riere. She was born in the old French colony of Biloxi,
and her parents were emigrants from the land of poetry
aud romance—Provence—the favorite home of the Trou
badours. When Clirk first met her, she had been living
in wedlock with a swindler named Jerome DeGrange,
who, having dazzled her with a glittering eoronet, nur
lied her, and then disclosed the astounding fact that he
was a confectioner and a bigamist. Zulime appealed for
protection to t’latk, who beirg warm hearted and chiv
alrous, at once espoused her cause, and, after becoming
convinced that De Grange had another wife living, es
poused himself. Tho marriage was kept secret, and in
18"f> Mvra, now Mrs. Gaines, was born. Being natursl
1, desirous of having her connection with Clrrk a pub
licly acknowledged one, Zulime went to New Orleans to
obu n legal proofs of her first husband’s rascality.—
While she was gone, Clark, who had grown into an in
fluential politician, became enamored of Mias Vat on, a
granddaughter of Charles Carroll, w ith whom he con
tracted an engagement, though when reports were
brought to Mt-s Cuton alleging her lover’s marriage to
Zulime, she at once insisted upon a release front the cn
g gement, and she subsequently became the Marchioness
of Wellesley.
lu the mean time, Z ilime had returned to Philadel
phia, and sought to obtain proofs of her marriage with
Clark, who had, with singular treachery, destroyed all
that he could discover. Finding herself helpless, in «
strange country, and with a child dependent upon her,
she wholly at a loss what to do, and in her desti
tution, driven almost to despair, she accepted the hand
of Dr. Gardette, who, with kinduess and generosity,
united his fortune with hers. Clark, in the meantime,
had become penitent; but on hastening to find his for
mer love, ascertained that she was the wife of another.
He took tho ehild Myra, placed her tinder the care of a
friend, and had her most liberally educated. Z dime
lived for a long time after that, attained the age of 7S
years, and died at New Orleans but a lew years siuce.
Clark, whose business talent win proverbial amassed
au immeuse fortune in Louisiana, Missouri, Kentucky
aid Maryland, which he bequeathed by will in 1S!'I to
his mother, Marv Clark, naming Beverly Chew and Rich
ard Relf, barkers of New Orleans, as executors. Charges
have been preferred against the exeutora of bad faith
aud mismanag sraent; but however that may be, Myra—
theu Mrs. Whitney—having discovered at maturity thut
her mother had been the wife of the deceased million
aire, with an impulse of houorable affection for which
she cannot be too highly praised, determined to assert
her rights, as the legitimate child and consequent heiress,
to the entire property.
Tint she met with opposition and with obstacles of all
sorts may well be imagined, but she battled for her mo
ther’s honor aud evinced tho most commendable spirit
and pei.severance, in Jpite of most fearful odj3. Jlcr bin
band died, but she re-married, aud in so doing enlisted a
powerful auxiliary in the person ol General Gaines, who
believed in her legitimacy, and aided her with all his
rn’ght. It would be wearisome merely to index the va
rious l-'gal struggles, the attempted social ostracisms, the
inracuexitf.-, uie Morrows, me nupeM&nu iruricipi'rieui'cu
by Ma-1. Gaines in this work of her lifetime. She sued
1:1 numerous Courts, and with vaiied success, until her
fortune was gone, her friends convinced of the useless
ness ol further trial, and all but her own indomitable
spirit lied. Sae still struggled on, and a« a last resort
brought the cs*e in > s emplitude and its labyrinths of
h-gi! technicalities to ibe Supreme uuurt of the i .uu —
fter a long and pati nt bt ing, ahe has obtain
ed h-.r viotorv. The Court has unanimously decided that
thru Clark <ilines is the only legitimate child of Daniel
Clark, and tbs', as -u-.-h, she is entitled to all the prop
erty left by him. \'or ere the rears and energi. s of the
courageous woman too i.tr .pen: 10 Krt.ea; ucr ci-joy

o. the old school." Sh“ i, j-i good heal'h, and poaa-sses
ail abundant flow ol animal spirits, which luve buoyed
her up for ov. r thirty years under circumstances of an
unusually trying uat.uio.
Mr. Justice Wayne, in closing the decision of the
Court, seems to have placed peculiar and ignificant em
phasis on the words, that tie S ’prenie Cou’t would see
t at the provi ions of the decision were carried into ef
fect—a .Nta'i in uit oi more than ordinary importance
when we n il’ci that po->ibly the State of Louisiana may
dcvl.ne to t»n • cognisance of, or Im* hound bv a decree
emanating from no iess a tribunal than the Supreme
Court of lire “late United Slate* of America."
R11 ■ RMS IV ITALY.
An important reform has been promulgated in Southern
Italy and Sicily, which abolishes tho concordats of l*lb
ami lo l-l, between Uie Courts of Home an.l .Naples, and
establishes at once entire freedom of worship. Thu right
of ecclesiastics to inflict secular punishment, or to be ox
erupted from the Operatiau of Statu law*, it also taken
away. All causes regarding the right of nomination
to ecclesiastical bcnctices are placed under civil jurisdic
tion.
Another decree Iay3 the a?e to the roots of those mon
strous outgrowths of ignorant superstition, the monastic
institutions. All such orders are to be recognised no
longer, nor the chapters of colh’yiate churcl.ca in places
having a population less thau twenty thousand. The
property hitherto held by these bodies is to be taken
possession of by tbe State and administered hv a special
commission to be appointed. The present members of
religious bouses may continue t« reside In any of these
edifices, receiving an annual pension of from sixty to
one hundred and eighty ducats, accordiug to member
ship, age, Ac. After discharging such obligations, the
annual sum of forty thousand ducats is to be set apart
from the revenues of such places for educational pur
poses; the remaining proceeds to be applied to similar
objects ot usefulness and charity.
THE UKITISU NAVf.
From a report recently presented to Parliament, by
the Secretary of the Admiralty, we learu that the entire
navy of the l/nitc.l Kingdom includes nearly seven hun
dred vessels, of which five hundied and sixty-two are
fitted for propulsion by eteatn. The sailing vessels are
tuns a mero iruotion ot no wnoie, unmooring omy ten
ships of the line, seventeen frigates, eighteen sloops, and
a few score of small craft. Of the steamers four hun
dred and forty-seven are screw, and one hundred and
flfteeu paddle-wheel, flfty--even of both not being in sail
ing condition at present. The principal additions made
daring the last two years have consulted of screw line
of-bitile ships, of which fifty-three have been launched,
while fourteen more are iu process of construction or
conversion. Forty screw frigates are now afloat, mostly
built during the same period, while twelve arc budding.
Besides these, there are the iron-cased vessels, of w hich
one (the Warrior) has been completed, and three others
will be lauoched before tong. Three others, of a small
size, have also been ordered.
PRESIDENT DAVIS’VETO OF THE SLAVE TRADE
BILL.
President Davis’ objection to the act of the Confede
rate Congress against the Africau slave trade is stated iu
the following passage from his veto message:
The Constitution—section seven, article one—provides
that the impot cation of African negroes from any foreign
country other than slaveholding States of the United
States is hereby torbidden, and Congress is required to
pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the same. The
rule herein giveu is emphatic, and distinctly directs the
legislation which shall effectually prevent the importation
at' African uegroes. The Bill before me denounces as a
high misdemeanor the importation of African negroes, or
other persons of color, either to be sold as slaves or to be
li Id to service or labor, affixing heavy, degrading penal
ti- s on the act if done with such intent. To that extent
it accords with the requirements of the Constitution, but
in the sixth section of the Biil provision is made for the
transfer of p< rsous who may have been illegally imported
into the Confederate Sltics to the custody of foreign
S'.atcs or societies, upon couditiou cf deportation and fu
ture freedom, and if the proposition thus to surrender
them shall no' be accepted, it is then made the duty oi
the President to cause said negroes ta bv sold at p.ivlic
outcry to the highed bidder hi -uy one of the btates
wlie«e sucl. sdesbail not bo inconsistent with laws thereof.
This provision seems to mo in opposition (ft the policy
declared in the Coustitiuic^,
The following was the vote subsequently taken in Con
gress on the proposition to pass the bill over the veto
Yeas—Messrs Curry and Chilton, of Alabama; Morton
ind Owens, of Florida; Toombs, if. Cobb, T. R. R Cobb,

SI*EE II BY HON. A. II. STEPHENS
lion A. II. Stephens, Vice President of tbe Confed
rate States, was in Atlanta, Georgia, a few days ago,
where he was welcomed by un enthusiastic gathering of
tbe citizens. The Atlanta Confederacy saya : “ Expecta
tion was on tip-toe, and the whole population were out
to meet their favorite. We do not remember ever be
fore to have seen so large an assemblage of our citizens
brought together. Tbe numerous military companies iu
full dress, and the lire departments with gay uniforms
and brilliant torches wetc out in full forte."
Iu response to a complimentary address by the Mayor,
Me. Stepbeus said:
Tbe history of the world did not present such another
social phenomenon as the ezsisting revolution in the cot
ton St.tes. A v»st empire w-as divided—& government
thrown iff, a new system inuagurated in juxtaposition to
the old, and without a drop ot blood, the slightest social
disorder, or physical suffering. All we bad to do, said
the speaker, to perputuate bis happy state of things, was
to be true to our own honor and fame. We w< re once
Unionists but now we are all Secessionists, and if we con
tinued to display to all tbe world tbe proper union of
hearts and purpose, there could be no such word as fail
(or us. But, in most eloquent tones he declar. d, if dis
sensions springing from vetml and spHUh ambitions, if
unreasoning aud captious fault-finding should discourage
the true friends cf Southern liberty, “he could prophesy
no good for us."
Mr Stephens said that he hail once venerated the old
Constitution under which he had been born, aud did still
feel a great ic-pect for it. But, upon a dispassionate com
parison of the two Coii'^ituiiopS he did not hesitate to
declare that the new was an improvement ou the old.—
He went on to state that he thought the mode of appro
priating money when brought into the Treasury by taxa
tion, as provided for by tbe Constitution of tbe Confede
rate States, a decided improvement on that of any gov
ernment whatever. The labor, he said, was not so much
to g. t money into the public chest a., *.» protect 4 frojji
misappropriation after it was raised. By the now Con
stitution not a dollar could be drawn from the public
Treasury, unless by a two-thirds vote of Congress. Au
exception to this rule was only made when the President
should report to Congress that pres-ing public neccsfity
and exigency called ror it. Auolbergraud difference be
tween the old and new Constitution was this, said
Mr Stephens: In tbe old Constitution the fathers
looked upon the fallacy of the equality of races
as underlying the foundations of republican liber
ty. Jefferson, Madison aud Washington, and many
others, were tender of the word “slave" in the organic
law, and all looked forward to the time when the
itisiiiution of slavery should be removed from our midst
as a trouble aud a stumbling block. The delusion could
not be traced iu any of tbe component parts of the South
ern Constitution. In that instrument we solemnly dis
carded the pestilent heresy of fancy politicians, that all
mon, of all raocs, were equal, and we nud made African
inn/uality and subordination, and the equality of white
men, the chief coruer stone of the Southern Republic.—
With an honest administration of a government so found
ed, Mr. Stephens said, the world was yet to see in us the
model nation of history. Restore peace, set our people
quietly to work out their destiny from this point of de
parture, and we would go on front one stop of glorious
development to another. We would expand Southward
and Westward, to the East and to the Jrorta 'bod for
bid, said a gallant t.e,.ee.do.)i-H,, until there would lie r.o
complaint about territory. Eveu now our galaxy num
bered “seven stars ” and like that weUkaomi fluster, we
wouid soon have the admiring gaze of the wor|d to fol
low US,
Mr. Stephens said before he closed be would make a
prediction that some might take in the way of good news
“ ‘“WJ "twuww. ..I .v Ilia. »VI»I»
Saturday night we would hear of the surrender of Fort
Suinter. What the labors and science of Genera] Bean
regard had done in convincing Major Anderson that his
po-itiou was not impregnable, he would not undertake
to say. But let this prediction turn out a, it uiay, of
one thing wo m""ht ;eut assured, that the forts would be
given up, or they would be taken away. Mr. Stephens
secois to bo satisfied that we rhoulJ have a peaceable
separation from the North, but he said our general prr
t ration an! readierst to m et a difT-rcnt result migiit
have had a groat deal to do with such a consummation.
Ue said we all desired nee<— r.ouo or" us tett that war
at.U its fuller,ngs and distractions were light things, but
yet we were prepared for war. While we said to the
North, go oa iu peace, be p:asp< tons and happy as yoa
may, while ve wljl do the uu.e, yet, mum# once sard
to t' e North, you ?«.«< not trample cu ns and interfere
with t’H, we >,o fail you t/ian't'. After invoking a fra
ternal and era dial union of ail hearts iu defence and tup
poitol the honor and freedom of our people, in most
touching language, Mr. Stephens cli.be d by proposing
three cheers tor the Confederate States. The stirring
eloquence ol the speaker had sprung the hearts and
voices of the crowd for that cheering, nnd it was given
with a will; three cheers (or the Confederate St".: . or
America, end three mote a-,! M wjfgr, tor the 1'rovi.
