that, if Lord Mansfield's opinion had been correct, slavery in Jamaica would have ceased the moment it fell under the dominion of Great Britain. From that moment it became as much a part of Great Britain, so far as the common law is concerned, as Kent or Sussex. If in Kent or Sussex the common law set a negro free, why should it not have set him free in Jamaica? --Yet, we find that it did not, but that on the contrary slavery continued in Jamaica until it was abolished by act of Parliament. that, if Lord Mansfield's opinion had been correct, slavery in Jamaica would have ceased the moment it fell under the dominion of Great Britain.

nt from 6 per cent., at which it was fixed on the 31st ult., to 7 per cent., This is higher than any point attained since the panic of 1857. The step came unexpectedly, and a few minutes previously to its notification, money was obtainable in the discount market at a fraction below the Bank terms them current. The reasons assigned for it, however or, are sufficiently important. Not only did the Asia take out a further sum of £200,000, for New York on Saturday; but the Tetonia, from Southampton this morning, has carried £ 70,000, and it may, therefore, be inferred that the City of Washington. Argo, Vigo, North Britain, Marathon, and Niagara, to sail during the week, will all, or most or them, have additional totals — especially as the accounts to-day are likely to excite the confidence of remitters. At the same time, the advices from Paris are discouraging with regard to the position and prospects of the Bank of France, which, in its approaching monthly statement, is expected

The company in England with whom the Puritans had leagued themselves, under the shade of whose princely privileges they expected to grow from a mustard seed to "the greatest of trees," were incorporated as "The Council established at Plymouth, in the county of Devon, for the planting, ruling, ordering and governing New England, in America.

No Prayers for the President. --It is a noteworthy fact, that in the Episcopal churches of this city on Sunday last, the usual prayer for "the President of the United States and all others in authority, " was changed so as to harmonize with the altered political relations of the State. The change consisted in limiting the prayer simply to "thy servants in authority." The usual prayer for Congress, when in session, was also appropriately omitted. Such departures from an important portion of the liturgy of the Episcopal Church, made necessary by the melancholy times which have come upon us, fell on the ears of the worshippers at her altar with peculiar sadness.--Mobile Register.

Ex-President Tyler left Richmond yesterday morning for Washington, to confer with the President of the United States in reference to a suspension of hostile acts on the part of the Federal Government towards the seceding States.

A child Burnt to death. --A distressing casualty occurred yesterday morning, at the old United States Hotel, corner of Main and 19th streets, which resulted in the death of a little child, named Hannah Frances Wanicott, daughter of a widow lady residing in the building. The mother, we are informed, went from home in the morning, to go to market, leaving her three young children in the room, and locking the door. While the children were at play, the clothing of one of them caught fire from the grate. Their shrieks of terror attracted the attention of persons in the house, and when they gained admission to the room, a shocking spectacle met their view. The little girl, named above, aged between three and four years, was lying on the floor, in agonizing struggles, her garments having been consumed by the fire, and her face, body and limbs terribly burned. The little sufferer survived the accident but an hour or two. The distress of the mother, on returning home, may be better

s was stabbed. Shortly before the surrender the secessionists were by no means dominant in Pensacola, but Col. Chase, at a public meeting, at which secession resolutions were passed, influenced the public mind and drew them generally into the movement. When, under the order of Lt. Renshaw, the American flag, was lowered, it suddenly fell to the dust, when a loud shout went up from the excited multitude, led by an officer attached to the U. S. steamer Wyandotte, which had been ordered to Philadelphia. Lt. Saunders, bearer of dispatches to Capt. Armstrong, had them demanded of him at his quarters, by the secessionists, but he refused to comply. He was then informed that they would be taken from him. He told them that would be an act of war against the United States. He was then conducted to the Navy-Yard, into the presence of Capt. Armstrong, who had them surrendered after finding that refusal was unavailing. At Fort Pickens there are only 80 men to man 246 guns.

I intend, in a few days, to hold up to your readers a mirror, in which will be seen some of our most prominent men in this State and city — gentlemen who now fill so large a space in the American eye. Our foreign news from Washington, New York, &c., look to us decidedly warlike; but depend upon it, these Southern States can never be awed or driven into submission to the Government of the United States by all the combined machinations of the world. A few days ago, a young man who was about starting as a volunteer to Fort Moultrie, as he was about to buckle on his belt his mother took the belt out of his hand, and with her own put it on him, with the remark, "Go, my son, and let your mother say this to you, sever turn your back to the enemies of your State, and if you have to deal with them in deadly conflict, remember your mother's words, never submit to Black Republican rate."
