New-York, March 8, 1850.
The outline of Mr. Webster’s speech, re'
cc.ived by telegraph to-day, gives great satis-
factioo to every one, apparently, and holds out
I a well-founded Jwpe of amicably settling tho
vexed question of slavery. To be sure his
^‘iliplan differs but little from that proposed by
<*»• Taylor in his late message, and it lias
one advantage over the Clay compromise, tha 1
it is mote brief, more lucid, and easier under
stood ; the frightful array of resolutions intro
duced by that gentleman, presented a formida
ble obstacle to the understandability of a great
many.
The “Sun," with its usual hoaxing propen
sity, announced the arrival of tho Georgia yes
terday, when the news from California were
only the details of that which had been pre
viously telegraphed from Ncw-Orleans, and re
ceived thore by the Alabama. Tho “Sun” made
a few cents by their extra, but caused great dis
appointment to hundreds who crowded to the
wharf Rod the post-office, anxious to hear from
the loved and absent ones. It was a cruol and
unpardonable affair. Wo expect the Georgia
to-day, or to-morrow, at furthest, and uro hour
ly awaiting news by tho Cunada, now over due
at Halifax.
No little sensation was created on tho fash
ionable side of Broadway yesterday afternoon,
by the arrest of two very genteel looking and
«> elegantly dressod young men, who were prome-
fladiRf sunidst a host of other loungers, nnd evi
dently quiteat their easo. But suddenly three po
lice officers pounced upon them not very cere
moniously, and" despite their indignant remon
strances, walked them off to tho Tombs. They
were thore searched, and no less than $6450
found upon them in counterfeit bills of the
New-Haven County Bank, in $100 nnd $50
bills. It appears that they ore genuine im
pressions from the bank plate, but the signa
tures are forgeries, so well executed, however,
as to decieve some of our sharpest brokers.
They called themselves P. F. Lafham and
Edward Hughes ; in the pocket oT the form-
• er was found the following note:
Hudson, March 4, 1850.
Friend Bill: I will send in sdme way to
morrow, so that they will be there at 6 in the
morning. ‘ Wm. E. B—.
Louisa will come.
’ This was directed to P. F. Lapham, 5 Laight
street, and is supposed to have been sent by
W». E. Brockqun, now in prison at Hudson
on a charge of passing counterfeit money.—
There are others in the gang who will doubtless
be ferreted out ere long.
The necessity of keeping one's own counsel
was demonstrated yesterday. A night watch
man in the Custom Hguse aod bis son-in-law
were in a porter bouse, and imprudently boast
ed of having smuggled some segars from
•hip lying in the East River. A policeman
overheard them, and took the young man into
£ custody, and together with two or three boxes
of segars conveyed him to the Station House.
I am sorry to say that no more of the villains
connected with the outrage in the faniil),of Mi •
Rock have as yet been arrested.

Peace Convention.—AConvention is to be
held in Newark N. J., on tho 25th inst., for the
purpose offappointing delegates from that State
to tire Peace Congress to be held at Frank fq rt-
on-tho-Main, in August, 1850. They propose
to send two delegates from the state at large,
and one from each Congressional District, be

Literary Associations, and Municipal and Re

The Peace Congress which is to resolve that

Mrs. Forrest's reply to the petition of her
husband for divorce, is a dignified but indig-
nnnt denial of tho charges of infidelity. She
peaks of the wrongs she has borne, without
one word of recrimination moro than is abso
lutely necessary ; and states that she consent
ed to offer no opposition to the petition, provid
od he did not charge her with impurity of
character. It was then stated that this was ne
cessary in order to obtain the divorce, and an
ample provision for life was offered, if sho
would consent -to the change beirg made; but
she resolutely refused. Sho denies tho power
of the legislature to grant a decree of divorce,
and says that sho is advised not to appear in
less as any in which its philanthropic projectors
can employ themselves, nnd quite enough to
mnke it exceedingly popular and practicable
with flcertain.class of dreamers. In tlio first
placo it would be necessary to adopt some uni
versal form of government, by which each Na
tion would stand upon an equal footing
in tho Congress; otherwise a republic would
liuvo but little to hope from tho decision ol a
body composed of the represensatives of kings
and Emperors. Such a body thus brought to
gether to arbitrate on the affairs of the civilized
world, might oven determine that republics
were dangerous to tho pence of the world.
Tho antagonism of principles and natural in-
iutcrcsts are the great" causes of war at The
present time, nnd such a congress would not
bo able to legislate away these cuuscs.
Wo fear that the mnch desired day when
thcro shall indeed be perfect peace on earth und
good will to men, lias not yet arrived.

A New Mouth for the Mississippi.-
people of Louisiana are thinking seriously of

lioved that it would relieve the river and its

that of last yrnr. In a commercial point
view tho project is ulso commended. It would
open a direct comunicution with tho Gulf nnd

This, says the Tribune, is the largest cargo
that has ever cleared from any port in the Gulf.
I3’ J The Trenton State Gazette expresses
tho opinion that tho lute lamentable explosion
of the boiler of a locomotive on tho Cnmden
& Amboy Railroad was owing entirely to tho
neglect of the engineer. The Gazette says that
there ,is little or no doubt that the explosion
was caused by the sudden admission of cold wa
ter into the boiler at a time when the water
it had been suffered to become so low that tho
crown sheet of tho surface was heated. After
tha accident, it. was found that this crown sheet
had been torn into small pieces as if it had
been brown paper, indicating that at the time
of the explosion, it was in the soft state caused
by intense heat.
