We to-day publish an extract from ihe Bulletin of a
work that has recently appeared in Paris entitled "Es-
clavage et Liberie Slavery and Liberty." From this
we may form some conception of the immensity of the
British Possessions; although it is by no means a full
enumeration of all the dependencies of that ast Empire.
"In Europe (says M. Ride) England has acquired
Malta Heligoland the Ionian Islands; in America Aca
dia Canada and the Northern part ot ihe continent al-
most all the West Indies a part of Guyana the Malonines
and several other Islands; in Africa Bath nest Sierra Le-
one the Cape of Good Hope the Isle of France Rodri-
guer the Sechelles Socotera the islands of Loses As
cension; in Asia Aden Ceylon an empire of over one
hundred millions of inhabitants; Singapor a portion of
Sumatra and .Malaccaa position in China; in the South
Pacific the greater part of Australia Tasmania the Nor-
folk islands; New Caledonia New Zeland. At this mo-
rnenthe envelopes as with a net the whole of the Gulf
of Mexico and the West India seas by means of fourteen
steam frigateSr constructed for war if necessary but in the
-meantime transporting passengers and letters. In short
within a few months she has Tendered herself mistress of
China and has just added two hundred millions of iripu-
taries to the hundred millions of serfs and slaves which
she possessed in India. - -

It appears from the investigations of the Grand Jury
into the causes of the recent riot in Philadelphia that mob
law has in fact been ihe only law for months. A state of

A daring enterprize is spoken of under the direction of
Sentmanat who is in cammand of a vessel whose decks
are crowded with men of all nations now on their way to

Government and by the suddenness and diring of the
movement he hopes to raise a revolution which will
spread over the Department at once.

"WitchcraftI The Picayune speaks of great excite-

a rumor about the astonishing feats of witchcraft and sor-

that this disciple of the Cango School was to be burnt in

asked for information of an old negress what lime ihe
witch was to be burnt "Clar to hebin messa I doesn't

''JoVby means of the Electro-Magnetic Telegraphs estab-
lished inthe United Stales between Washington and
Baltimore intelligence is carried the distance of 40 miles
without taking any perceptible portion of lime or any
fraction of a second that admits of measurement by the
best chronometers. We have heard speak of doing things
"immediately if not sooner" or "in less than no lime."
These expressions contain no metaphor now for
"Hyperboles though ne'er so great"
No loDger can exaggerate.
And this reminds us of recent improvements made in
the magnifying power of microscopic glasses ; one hav-
ing been lately invented magnifying seventy-four million
limes and making a flee 30 feet long about ihe size of a
moderate house.
Authentic Anecdote A correspondent of the Ulica
Gospel Messenger communicates the following interesting
item: t . .
A stranger in passing through a rural village in New
England many years ago was atiracttd to ho tub of a
cider press by accidentally discovering the feet of a child
projecting over its top. It seems that the boy procured a
straw sucker and was inhe act of sippmn from the mb
when he'fell in his head being entirely subtuerg. d. He-
was immediately taken out and can ied by the stronger to
the farm 'hous&4)Niis parents afew rod3 distant whose
efforts lverecomrnencedto restore the child now apparently
lifeless. After about an hour signs of returning life were
visable and ultimately an entile restoration was effected
"and the child lived" became a man became a minister
became a bishop and ultimately the Second Presiding
Bishop of ihe American Protestant Episcopal Church.
Great Annexation Meeting 'in Montgomery Ala.
"Resolved. That in our opinion the postponement of
this GREAT QUESTION to pariizan efforts for PRE-
SI. ENT MAKING is alike unworthy of a STATES
MAN'S HEAD or a PATRIOT'S HEART."
The following was among the resolutions passed at a
public mefting in favor of the annexation of Texas at
Beaufort South Carolina on the 20th ult'
Resolved That if the Senate of the United States un-
der the drill of party leaders should rejpcl the Treaty of
Annexation we appeal to the citizens of Texas and urge
them not to yield to a just resentment and turn their eyes
to other alliances but to believe that they have the advo-
cicy of a laige portion of the American public who are
resolvid that sooner or later the pledge in the treaty of
1803 shall be redeemed and Texas be incorpoialed into
our Union But if on the other hand we are not permit-
ted to bring Texas into our Union peacefully and legili.
raaiely. as now we may then we solemnly announce to the
world that we will dissolve this Union sooner than aban
don Texas.
Hay i i. The northern part of this Island has declared
itself a separate and independent Slate Pierrot being the
General in-Chief. The declaration of Independence was
occusioned by ordeisfrom President Herrard to put every
third man to death for not obeying his command to march
against ihe town of Santiago. Pierrot refusing to exe
cute thse bloody orders was ordered by the President to
be taken into custody whereupon ihe manifesto declar-
ing ihe Independence of the North was publishd. The
whole northern population are saidlo amount to 300000
two-thirds being whites of Spanish descent the most
wealthy and respectable inhabitants of the Island ; the
othr third areblacksand mulattoes with some aborigines.
The corresponds nt of the Journal of Commerce writing
from Port Plata thinks the United States should send on
a proper person to ascertain whether that Republic is
worthy to be acknowledged as a nation. He says the
people are of our own race .and have liberated themselves
from the ignominious bondage of the blacks and mulattoes
of the West.
From the News.
The U. Slates steamer Union Lieut Commanding H.
II. Bell on a cruise in the Gulf arrived and anchored off
on Saturday. She left again on Sunday.
We have been kindly furnished with a few items in re-
lation to this vessel which may not be uninteresting to our
readers
The Union is 1040 tons burthen and draws but twelve
feet water with armament and provisions on board. She
is propelled by Hunter's submerged propellers fixed hori
zontally beneath her sides. They back or go ahead
singly or both at the same time so that the vessel can be
turned either way as upon a pivet. The vessel can also
be sleerpd by them independent of a rudder quite as well
as any other vessel. She is also rigged with three masts
and can sail or use steam power either or both at pleas-
ure. Her armament consists of four 64 pound Pdixham
guns on pivots so lhat they may all range astern ahead
or any other direction at the same time. Theshoruds can
be taken up and fastened to the masls the bulwarks re-
moved and every thing cleared from the decks in the
shortest possible ti no so as to leave her deck a plain bat-
tery of four pivot guns sufficient it is supposed to enable
her to cope wilh the largest frigate. The superiority
claimed oy vessels upon mis plan are manilom and npjM-
rent In the first place the fact of her being over 1000
tons and drawing but twelve feet water is a very impor-
tant consideration. The Princeton of but little ovei 6j0
tons draws nineteen feet. This vessel with her armament
all afloat cost but 81 13000; the Princeton cost nearly
double that sum. From her extreme length (being long-
er than the Pennsylvania) and wedge like shape it is
thought while going stem or stern on no ball could pene-
trate her but would glance off. She is perhaps better cal-
culated for operations in the gulf and for southern harbor
defence than any other description of vessel afloat.
Capt. Bell expects le return in a few days when he
wiil visit the harbor to give our citizens an opportunity of
inspecting the most novel naval customer now afloat.
From ihe News.
A hint to Unbelievers. The following which we ex-
trcct from Senator Barrow's letter to the citizens of Lou-
isiana leaches unite a. different doctrine from that which
we sometimes hear in the streets. The few of our citi-
zens who so strenuously oppose the measure of annexation
we think will be astonished to- find a Senator of the Uni-
ted Slates of like feather adducing in support of their
cause (opposition) the most weighty arguments (to us) in
its favor. The following which by the way appears far
more plausible than anything we have heard used against
it draws quite an unfavorable picture for the opposition-
ists. The honorable gentleman unfortunately for them
sees? but little of the ruin desolation and eysier shops that
appear to haunt their imaginations and although opposed
to the measure could use no stronger arguments in its fa-
vor to the Texian people than those composing the body
of his letter.
"If the treaty be ratified there can be no doubt that in
the next three years two hundred and fifty thousand work-
ing hands will be introduced into Texas from the United
States and principally from sections of the slaveholding
Stales producing no sugar and but little cotton. This
force employed in Texas say two hundred thousand hands
in the cultivation of cotton and fifty thousand in the culti-
vation of sugar will be the means of adding one million
bales of cotton and one-hundred and fifty thousand hogs-
heads of sugar to the present overgrown crops and these
will be produced by laborers not now producing more
than one hundred thousand bales of the former and none
of the latter. U hat must inevitably be the result of this
great addition to the quantity of our staples? Most as-
suredly a reduction in each of more than fifty per cent.
And are you prepared to suffer to this extent to aid in the
accomplishment of a measure by which so mnny evils
may be inflicted upon the nation at large and from which
you can derive as I have endeavored to show no corres-
ponding advantage?"
It is asserted that a large majority of the offices in thu
United Slates are now and always have been filled with
the friends of Mr. Clay and Mr. Van Eurcn. That out
of 600 clerks in the departments at Washington not more
than 50 are Tyler Democrats. That Mr. Tyler hns re-
sisted all efforts to make removals upon mere personal
grounds
