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. A poor woman was induced Inst night to fol low the advice of some friend, in order to cure On going to bed sho took a 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 sides delegates from the Towqs, Universities, Literary Associations, and Municipal and Re ligious Bodies in the State, EliBU Buriut, is active in promoting the movement. ‘ „ The Peace Congress which is to resolve that tho Hon shall lay down with the lamb nnd that the Bword shall be manufactured as we say now-a-doys into a pruning hook, has been in contemplation some time, and we believe has held one or moro sessions, without having a violent cold. dose of laudanum, and filling * bottle withGrot on0 Qf moro gegglon „, wulluul water, placed it against | er c worked any very wonderful change in thobellig- threw her almost instantly into a deep I .?. • cront propensities of the nations.

She was conveyed to the hospital. The reme dy, in this cose, proved to be decidedly worse than the 4'sease.. The boats are advertised through to Albany but I dont think they will quite reach that point yet 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. **>*■:• News by Mb' Canada.

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.
