At the late election in Worcester District,
Massachusetts, for a member of Congress in the
place of Mr. Davis, chosen Governor of the
State, the whole number of votes was 5470,
whereof Governor Lincoln had 4226.
The young men of Boston have had a meet
ing, to consider the operation of executive hos
tilTties to the United States Bank. They adopt
ed a memorial, and are now procuring signa
tures thereto._
From St. Croix.—Capt. Robbins, of the The
tish, arrived at New York, from St. Croix,
states that it has‘been very sickly, for the last
two months at St. Ooix, of the W est India fe
ver, but was becoming more healthy when he
left. Capt. Lee, of the brig Shepherdess died in
January; a cooper named M’Arthur, of New
York; two men be>ongingto the Thetis, named
Elisha White and Amuriah Carter, and a sea
man of the Shepherdess, and several others
were taken off.
Trouble in Martinique.—Captain Dewing, of
brig Romp, from Point Petre, Guadaloupe, in
forms the Editor of the Salem Mercury, that a
serious disturbance took place in the island of
Martinique in the latter part of December. A
number of persons, principally multatoes, took
up arms at Trinity in opposition to the Govern
ment. The insurrection sprekd to St. Pierres^
and caused the greatest alarm. The Governor
called upon the militia, but not one in twenty
would come out to oppose the insurgents. It
was therefore found necessary to call out the
royal troops, upon whose appearance the insur
gents dispersed, and the revolt was quelled with
out bloodshed Eighty persons concerned in
the revolt had been arrested.
Destructive Fire at Vicksburg.—The New Or
leans Advertiser of the 14th ult. says: “ We
learn from the clerk of the steamer Farmer, ar
rived last evening from Vicksburg, that a large
fire occurred at that place on the 10th inst., at
3 o’clock, A. M. VYTe did not ascertain particu
lars, but were informed that the Stores of
Messrs. M. & A. Levy, J. & J. Lane, and Gilmore
and Co., were totally destroyed—not even books
and papers saved.”
A war between Great Britain and France on the
one part, and Russia on the other, arising out of
the relations existing between Russia and the Ot
toman Porte, appears to be a subject of general
speculation in the British journals. The Glas
gow Herald has the following remarks on the
probable consequences of such a rupture with
regard to the United States. T wenty years ago
it would have been thought of little importance
what part our country might take, or in how
great a degree its interests might be endanger
ed or outraged:— Balt. Oaz.
“ Should we go to war with Russia, there is
too much reason to apprehend that hostilities
betwixt this country and the United States will
be the consequence. Our newspaper press, par
ticularly the Liberal and Ministerial portion of it
is so outrageously abusive of the Emperor Nich
olas, that, with the common feelings of humanity,
he must desire to he revenged upon us; but he is
well aware that if we were to blockade his Bal
tic ports, and prevent the produce of the estates
of his nobles from getting to market, there
would arise a spirit of discontent in Russia
which would he in all likelihood fatal to him.—
Accordingly, therefore, it is understood that in
contemplation of the probability of a war with
Great Britain, the Emperor of Russia has made
arrangements with the Americans by which
they are to carry the whole of Russian produce
intended for foreign markets in their ships, aud
hence will arise the old contest as to neutral bot
toms making neutral goods, and being exemp
ted from the right of search, which discussion
will most probably lead us to a war with the
United States.”
