Leland is given under the head of ' Art-Notices.' THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION*. —The Nashville Convention, it will be remem bered, adjourned to meet again six weeks after the adjournment of Congress, at the call ol the ['resident of the Convention. 1 he Charleston Mercury learns that Judge Sharkey is satisfied with the action of 4 ongre.ss, and declines to issue His call for the re-assembling of the convention. The Mercury, however,-contends that the con vention will meet em the 1 lth of Novem ber next, with or without the eail of the president, and urges the election of dele gates. The Southern Press at Washing ton appeals to the South to elect true men as delegates 4a the convention, of high standing—men of *' strong moral courage." ty The Natives recently held a Con vention at Pittsburgh, and nominated the following State ticket; — Canal Commis sioner, Dr. Jacob Dewecs, Montgomery county ; Surveyor "General, Kim her Clea ver, Schuylkill county; Auditor General, E. S. Neal, Allegheny county. A NEW WATCH. —A great improvement in the manufacture of watches has just been made in Geneva, by which watch keys are rendered unnecessary. By sim ply turning a screw in the handle, the watch is wound up, and another movement regulates the hands. The first watch man ufactured with this improvement is intend ed for America, and its case is said to he a rich and curious specimen of art, and his torically interesting ; the ornamented bor der containing a v.iew of the famous •" Charter Oak, of Connecticut. *• It is a good action thus to make a watch case teem with historic associations without destroy ing its ornajneutal beauty." THE TETKRARM. —Dispatches were re ceived by the telegraph, day before yes terday, from Washington, twenty minutes ahead of time. At 12 o'clock on the same day there was an official dispatch, direct ing a special messenger to be sent to Tex as, with information of the passage of the Texas bill, and in three hours afterwards the messenger was on his way in the steam ship Portland ; and this fact was probably known at Washington in the course of the same afternoon. This is what we call do ing work on the high pressure principle.— New Orleans Bulletin. The New York Tribune states that one of the steerage passengers in the steamer Philadelphia, at that port from Chagres, had with hi n twenty thousand dollars, which he had gained in forty-eight hours. He first took sixteen thousand dollars from his claim in one day, and then sold it the next day for four thousand dollars, and started for the States perfectly satisfied. AMERICAN OABPIMERE. —The Messrs. Wethered, near Baltimore, the Patriot of that-city says, manufacture American doe-- skin cassrmeres which arc equal to any imported article, made of the very best American wool, the lustre ineffaceable or indestructible. The article can also le fur nished at the price of $i 50 per yard. SLAVES IN CALIFORNIA. —A correspond ent of the St. Lours Republic estimates the number of slaves in that State at one thousand, but he says their masters have no control over them, and if he attempts to take them by force, he is liable to pun ishment. The laws furnish no protection to this description of property. SKELETONS DISCOVERED. —The work men on that portion of the Central Kail road which passes through 1 Haddock's Fields, Allegheny county, Pa., have lately tlugup several skeletons, the remains, doubt less, of some of the officers and soldiers of General Braddoek's brave and gallant, though ill-fated army. YORK AND CUMBERLAND RAILROAD. — This road will be "completed and the ears rtm ever it in a few weeks. Fit Lewis, Fsq., of York, has been elected President of the company, in place ol Y. C. Haie bly, Esq., resigned. A NEW STATE. —The Green Bay Ad vocate says, that the people el the ** 1 p per Peninsula" of Michigan* rre agitating the project of separation from the State, and the formation of a new State. i There was another serious break in the 'Pennsylvania Canal on Sunday night at ; Kaiubridge, which will take several days to repair. J- r The Borough of Columbia is still infested by incendiaries, who *eem deter mined to destroy a portion of that place. ! ''° > m j v •<" ox, Esq., of Somerset died in the borough of Bedford, on ; ednesdav morning of last week,aped 50 ! years. viM of™ I '', U - w, ; Ru * D —Wc perceive by an nd i HIP !• Pittsburgh Gazette that all the sections remaining unlet on the line of the j Pennsylvania Railroad between Pittsburgh and , t ; J . wn ' Rre 10 be given to contractors on the j 10th of October next. The whole line will then be under contract, except a part of the moun tain section, for which the Portage Railroad can i be substituted until it is finished. JENNY LIND. —The desire to bear this admira ble songstress does not diminish in New York. ! be proceeds ot Tuesday evening'sconcert have been stated at ,000. Those of Thursday ntght j are estimated by the Tribune at near $30,000. Jenny Lind's share of this would be $12,000, or £2, soo!—which throws into the shade all'her .concert* in Europe. Messrs. O'Contiurs & Co., of Baltimore, have effected an arrangement with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by vvieie.ii they will deliver goods in Pittsburgh in the short "space of four days. H3r* Locks have been superceded on the Monklane canal, Canada West, by an inclined plane. The boats are tloated into a box which moves on rollers, the whole drawn upon an in clined plane by a stationary engine. Thevnew plan was tried last week, and three boats drawn up in less than five minutes. flosTev, Sept. 25.—Tar prize ticket for Jtcvwy Lind's first concert, to be given in this crtv ©n Friday evening next, was bought this morning by Mr. Dodge, the vocalist, for six hundred mid twanly-ftve dollars ! The second ticket brought $24 ; a lot of eight, SIG each ; fourth, $.10.50; fifth, $10.50, and so down to $9, at which a con siderable number were sold ; thence down to $7 and SG, at which most of the tickets were .pur chased. The lowest price paid for back seats, in the gallery, was $1.50. All these prices are in addition to the regular ticket price of $3. fiTTsnrßr.n, Sept. 24, d iP. M.—A horrible accident happened at Krwjpp's Foundry this evening. While some men were engaged in hoisting a huge iron water pipe, weighing one thousand .pounds, by a crane, the hoisting chain broke, and the pipe fell on John Barclay, James Dalzell, and a tierman named Sneitcham. Bar clay was killed instantly. His legs were crushed to a jelly. Dalzell's spine was badly injured. His recovery is considered doubtful. Sneitcham cannot possibly recover. Hundreds of fugitive slaves have started off suddenly for Canada, on account of the passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill. The principal hotels sre left without servants. The number that lias left is surprisingly great. From California. New YORK, Sept. 20—6, P. M. The steamer Philadelphia arrived here this af ternoon from Chagres. She brings dates from San Francisco to the 15th August. She has on board one million dollars' worth of gold, and brings one hundred passengeis. A terrible riot, resulting in death and much bloodshed, occurred at Sacramento city on the 12th August. It appears that a party amounting to about sixty persons, calling themselves Squat ters—or rather designated as such —proceeded to the prison ship to release some of their com rades. They were immediately confronted by the citizens, when a terrible fight ensueJ. The Mayor, Mr Bigelow, was badly wounded during the affray. The City Assessor and many others on both sides were killed and wounded. The steamers McKim and Branca were despatched to San Francisco for troops and other assistance, la the meantime the Squatters had reinforced and numbered about hundred strong.— Lieutenant Governor McDougle proclaimed martial law. and the citv thus remained until the required assistance was obtained and the riot finally put down, but not without serious injury to the participants on both sides. HEAVY FAILURE. —The stoppage of Barton Lee, for the heavy sum of SI,I(X,OtKt, in Sac ramento City, has produced no little excite ment both in that city and in our own. Mr. Lee had been carrying on business on a most extensive scale. lie had assigned over all his property to Messrs. E. F. Gillespie, E. J. C'. Kcvcn, and I>r. Mackenzie. These gentlemen do not express the slightest fear but that he will be able to meet all his liabil ities. The Sacramento papers state that the assets of the estate are sl,4 and a half oonec-s-. In conversation nith one of the fortunate possessors of this treasure, be informed me that the gold was obtained about half a mile from Carson's Creek, and where, hither to, nobody else had thought of searching for it. The place appears to have been formed by a mountain slide. The gold is all very coarse, and that obtained by our informant has never been washed. The clay adheres to it as when it was first picked out of tin earth. About 70 persons were at work in these diggins, and our informant says that one of them took out 27 pounds on Friday last. All iii that location are meeting with remarkable success. The late news furnishes us with the items. 11 ay nan, the iatc Commander of the Austrian forties in Hungary, seems to have been roughly tripled in Krigland, HNOI.AND. — Ilr Majesty is still sojourning in the Highlands. The Dud Lieutenant of Ireland has counm n<-<-<| a tour to the North with the view of ascertaining the condition of the agricultural and manufu.-i uringoperations of that district. Great preparations have been made for his reception in Belfast. The recent government appointment of his lency, has given grant satisfaction, arid alto gether Lord Clarendon appears to have be come rather popular. In Ireland the Repeal agitation has. been again revived by O'Counell, but the attempt proves almost an abortion. The Irish Tenant League, for the iniorceinent of Tenant Rights is beginning to attract considerable attention both in England and Fivland, and all parties are fully impressed witli the necessity ,f pla cing the law ol landlord and tenant on a more equitable footing than it has been. On \V ednesday the butcher 11 vynau received a slight indication of the rogarif which the English people entertained for him. He ar rived at London on Monday, and on Wednes day, having previously received a letter of in troduction In en Baron Rothschild, in which the Baron style- llaynau as his particular J friend, lie went to visit the brewery of Messrs. Barclay, Perkins & Co. llaynau was accom panied by his Aideeanip and his interpreter. According to the regular practice of visitors, they were requested to sign their names in a hook in the office, after which they crossed the yard with one of the clerks. On inspect ing the visitors' book, the clerk discovered that one of the visitors was no other than Marshal llaynau, the lab} commander of the Austrian forces, during the attack ti|on the unfortunate 11 ungarian It became known all over the Brewery in less than two minutes, and before the General and his companions had crossed the yard, \ nearly all the laborers and draymen, ran out with brooms and dirt, shouting out, down with i the Austrian Butcher, and other epithets of an alarming nature to the marshal. I he marshal iiuding how matters stood, I and likely to get a warm reception from the j sturdy brewers, thought prudence the better part of valor, and began to beat a retreat, j but this was not so easily done. The attack j was commenced by dropping a truss of straw upon his head, after which, grain and missiles | of every kind were freely bestowed u]>oit him. i The men next struck his hat over his eves, and hustled him from all directions; his clothes I were torn oil' his hack. The Marshal's companions were treated with equal violence: the party finally succee ded in reaching the entrance gate, but no ! sooner had they made their exit than a crowd of coal heavers, vvlm waited upon his High-! r.oss. seized upon him, he was pelted and | struck with every available missile, and i even dragged along by his moustache, which ) afforded ample facilities from its excessive ! length, still battling witli his assailants, lie ran in a frantic manner along the bank side ! until he < me • to the George public House, j where he ran up stairs and concealed himself in a small closet. I'he mob rushed in after him. threatening to do for the Austrian Butcher; hnt, fortunately for him, they did • riot succeed in discovering lib retreat. Iflti- j mately the police came to his rescue, and lie | was removed in a police barge to the other j end of the city. This assault has boon the subject <>f com ment in nearly all the bondoii ami l'r<>\ inciul papers, and whilst the minority agree in con densing the act. still they frankly admit that the presence of so disreputable a character in England, was a provocation great enough to cause even a greater outrage.

Wnr.\t.- -All our accounts represent the wheat crop, for amount and quality, as unprecedented in the country; and on thrashing, the wheat turns out better even than was anticipated. Of course, prices rule low, with a downward ten dency. The Cincinnati Gazette says that the Wheal <>t the Whitewater Valley is beginning to come to market. Its quality is good. The farmers are running it to the towns along the line of the canal quite briskly. The market at these several places has opened at GO rents per bushel ; a price which is considered fair there, and which it is thought will continue. A de cline is anticipated rather than an advance. At Cincinnati, the current rate is 75 rents. At I jouisville, the receipts arc fair, and prices range at 70, 75, and 80 cents. At Alton, Illinois, the sales are large, and the best quality is quoted at 70 cents per bushel. At St. Louis, the re ceipts are heavy, and prices range, from 73 to 52 cents, according to quality. At Sandusky City, 200,000 bushels have already been received, the highest price being 78 cents. On the 21st, the Sandtiskian reports sales of 5,000 bushels, to In put on ship board, at 78 cents ; 4,000 at 77, and 20,000 at private terms. On the afternoon of the 21st, the Mirror says buyers offered but 75 cents. The receipts at Sandusky on the 20th were 12,500 bushels. The Jiuti'alo Commercial Advertiser, on the 21st, reports a sale of 33,000 bushels, not prime, ut 78 cents. The market review says: "it seems to be the general impression that prices must still further recede, and with this belief, millers come into the market with reluctance, and purchase sparingly, barely sufficient to keep their mills in operation, choosing to defer laying in their winter stock till the market has found its level, and prices become more settled." Front these statistics, our farmers will be able to judge of the prices which will rule this year, if there is a good crop abroad, wheat must go very low, as there is more in the country than can he consumed. The only remedy is to in crease home consumption by increasing manu factures. — J'ittsburffh Gazelle, DIED.
