New York, April 17,1850.
W*> #0 j*«t &t present in a state of stupid,
uninteresting quiescence j and Now York in a
quiescent state is a remarkable phenomenon
that only occurs now and then. The dissolu-
Oon of tho Union-is like the phantom that i-n*
to have been burned in the Park—nowhere.
Anti-slavei*)' is lying comparatively dormant,
preparing for a great talk at the sixteenth anni*
vewary of the Society, to be held here on*the
7th May. The discussions upon the merits of
the Webster verdict begin to prove a thread
bare subject, for the “new developments”
have net yet made their appearance. The Cal
ifornia steamers have departed, and the two
week’s later news from Europe has not arrived.
There are np. exciting trials before the Courts;
not a murder, or even a homicide has been
committed; but the community p.rp pieparing
for the 1st,of May—the-females, with- becom
ing diligence and domineering, and the males
with as mueh philosophy As they can invoke, to
their aid^-May Day, as you probably know,
is the gwfia universal moving time in New
York City, when misery, movables, anti muck,
are in the ascendapt, and males are any where
but at home, and* a more extraordinary scene
than the street presents on that day, can scarce
ly bo imagined. Why this annual moving pro
pensity should prevail here, I know not, but it
regularly commences on the 1st of May, like a
disease; silently operating within, until the'1st
of Feb’y, when it may pass over, but generally
at that time it. begins to appear, and the extenti
ot the epidemic is jugded by the number of
square bits of white paper that adorn tho dodr
posts of-the houses, announcing to the passers-
by, that the house is “to let to a quiet family
without children.” I dont know what wo are
to do if this malthusian objection to children
continues'; for it is becoming a sine qua non
hero, that if you want part ol A house, you
must not have children. This is a dreadful
state of affairs, for I presume that an order
from Gen. Taylor, to “go forth and slay the
innocents,” would’pt be tolerated now as it
was in the olden time. Tho fact is, we shall
have to divide the city into the “children” and
the “anti-children parts” and as tho majority
always rule, the former, gentry must look opt
for squalls.
I hear netting of tho movements of Mrs.
Forrest,- hut have no doubt that she has Com
menced proceedings in one of ohr CbuBs.
The bilj for divorce reoeiyed its quietus in the
Pennsylvania legislature yesterday; it was

the Senate. Our State Canals open op Mon

of buyers, and our llptels are thronged with
visitors. Every thing indicates a great spring
business, greater probably, than for many years
past, - * * ' -- i_
Ba;num announces that he has taken ledg-
ingsfor Jenny Lind And.her suite at the Irving
Rouse, and the grave matter-of-fact Journal of

morning. I have no doubt that he will shortly
Aglvortise for a contract to supply “Ant Eggs"
during her stay, for, although food for nigbtem-
gains,^they are pot included in,Howard's bijlpf
fare, I believe. Tho Irving, by some moans or
other, gets tho “lions/’ Jagello,-you remem

U queer rumor, that the black-eye of the dark

An Arrest,—A man by the namo of Hen
ry E. Hutchins was arrested in this city on
Saturday morning,by constablo W.RussELL,nnd
brought before Justice P. M. Russell, on the
suspicion of being an abolition emissary. Af

be was roleased, on condition that he woald
leave tho city within forty-eight hours.
Hutchins is a young mechanic, and has
been in the city some six months. We have

subject of slavery and has doubtless been guil
ty of indiscretion in expressing his sentiments
on that subject. His character otherwise has
been unexceptionable.

Incendiary Ism and Robbery at Atlanta.
We learn from the Atlanta Intelligencer of
Friday that on the morning of the 16th instant,
a fire broke out in tho store of A. W. Wheat
of that oity, which resulted in the destruction
of the building occupied by the store and fami
ly ofMr.W., and a house immediately adjoining
occupied by two families and a boot and shoe
shop. Nothing of consequence was saved
except a part of Mr. Wheat's books.
Tho .cuizoi.b had begun to disperse from the
scene, when the large Warehouse of Mr. j. F.'
Mims, which was filled with cotton, was dis
covered to be on fire. -By extraordinary exer
tions, the fire was extinguished with the loss of
only ten or a dozen bales of cotton. Hardly
was this fire extinguished when another broko
out in the Warehouse of Rice & Holcomb, but
was soon suppressed with little or no loss.
■ While the attention of all Wd$ turned to these
■ fires, the depot of the Georgia Rail-Road\vas
broken opeti and the .Money drawer in the
counting room rifled of its contents. By chance
there was but little money in the drawer at the
time, and the thieves succeeded in getting only
about fifty .orsixty dollars with a few privute
papers.
Oi) Tuesday morning says the Intelligencer,
disclosures were made Which led to a strong
suspicion- of the existence in- the city of a com
pany, cofopos.tid of white men and negroes, who
seem to hive been carrying on for some time,
U regular system robbery. Search warrants
were immediately obtained, and an investiga
tion commenced. Various kinds of goods to a
considerable amount, were found in the posses
sion of the suspected persons,.,—men yvho havq.
heretofore been engaged in what appeared to
bo an honest and somewhat extensive business
in the city. Compassion for their families im
pels us to withhold the publicity of their names
for the present; and while we wish that they
may yet make their innocence appear, and clears
themselves from the infamy which is now hang
ing-over them, we do yet most earnestly hope
and the welfare of our community demands,
that this matter may be thoroughly si fled, and
the true offenders brought to justice. Thore
has been enough of iniquity in our vicinity
and it is time phat the strong arm of the law
Was made to vindicate and to shield the rights
of the community.
On Wednesday the negroes were ©xami^d,
confessed having stolen goods at different times'- :
and were sentenced to receive forty lashes,"
which wove inflicted *n foqr privately and on
one publicly, fhere lias bqen much,excite
ment in the city for the last few days caused by
these startling disclosures of crime in orr midst.
As the matter h-as yet to go through the regufiri
ordeal of the law we forbear further common
atpresent.
Th^NaShillr Convention>We have more
than once adverted to tho contempt in which
this proposep gathering i» held by the great
body of solithern people. From the Southern
Banner we tnd that of the counties in Geor
gia five woujd not. vote at all upon the proposi
tion, vis: Oglethorpe, Wilkes, Madison, Bald
win and Mdrgan. Fifteen counties beard from
gave an aggiegato vote of 1,257 out of 19,900,
the whole number of voters. The Bannor.ad-
mils that the popular voice has condemned the
convention.—N. Y. Com. Adv.
The Banner admits too much. Tho popu
lar voice has not condemned tho Convention.
It is to be regretted that the course of a
fowplitica] tide-waiters and partizan|editorsbas
had tho effect to deceive the people of the
north as to the true state of public opinion at the
South, in regard to this matter. Tho proposed
Convention has boer. misrepresented here as
well as abroad, and some who have been in
duced to regard it as tho initiatory step towards
disunion, have hesitated to t.uko a part in
its organization. ' Thousands hn\» manifested
an indifference in regard to a matter.which has
encountered no serious opposition, while thou
sands of others have waited the action of Con
gress in the hope that there might be no neces
sity for a Convention. There bug been.no ex
citement in Georgia, but wo can assure our
friends of the north that the best friends of
the union bore are the best triends of the Con
vention, and that they look to the action
of that body to save the Union, in case
the. exciting question of slavery is not. previ
ously adjusted by Congress. On the question
of resistance to tho northern aggression there
is no division at the South, and whether there
baa convention or not -the north may rest as
sured that the Southern people will submit to
no further Wrong.
.from Washington;
The friends of Union and compromise have
triumphed in the Senate. It has been a hard
stiuggle; but it may now be presumed that we
have passed the crisis, safely, and, as soon
as Mr. Bentnn, Mr. Hale and others will per
mit, o bill embracing California and the terri
torial governments, will pass the Senate.
They will pas*, too, under the recommenija-
tion of a committee of thirteen members, 'se
lected from different quarters of the country,
and of different parties, and any man who may
oppose the views of that committee will be put
down as a disunionist. There are but two par
ties to this question, the party in favor of Union
by force, and the partyin favor of Uiiion by com
promise.
The report of the committee will carry great
weight with" it. in the House, for many South
ern members would refuse to vote for California,
except in combination with bills establishing
territorial governments, •,
Mr. Benton scouts thp appointment of.the
committee, for, the obvious reason, that the
opinion of thirteen men will be stronger bofofe
the country, than that of one man. It will place
the free-soilers and Mr. Benton on disadvanta
geous ground.

moveing in a quiet and searching mautiei, dil

Foote and Benton.
The Correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
gives the following version of the Foote aud
Benton affair:
Mr. Benton, after being twice voted down,
proposed fourteen new amendments, for the
purpose as he avowed, of throwing obluquy on
the author aud signers of the Southern address.
Mr. Foote remarked that the Hon. John O.
Calhoun, whp was in-his grave, and the cause
of-mourning with-the nation, wns the author,
and that‘he would live when his calumniators
and detractors would be consigned to ob
livion and contempt—and who, said Mr. Foote,
is thus aspersing' his memory 1—a gentleman
who calls himself the oldest Senator, a man
who—*—
Here Benton, with a violent crush of his
chair, left his seat, and with ah expression pf
countenance which indicated a resolve for no
good purpose, rapidly approached Mr. Foote.
The latter withdrew to a position near the Vice
(’resident’s chair,‘in the aisle’, and drew a pis
tol, without however, pointing the same, and
merely standing in an attitude of defence, the
barrel of his weapon turned towards the ground,
Mr. Benton was within three oi- four feet
from Mr. Foote’s chair when he was stopped'.
Mr. Foote was also surrounded, and immedi
ately surrendered his weapon. Seme theatri
cal flourishes were then made, such as “let'the
assassin,” wbo was no longer armed, “shoot,”
dec.
Another account ftays-: :
Mr. Benton struggled to get to Mr. F'rtote,
and attempted to throw off his coat. Tho Sen
ator's were panic struck—not a word from the
chair, and great confusion ensued;
Mr. Benton then exclaimed, “I have no
arms—a pistol has been pointed at mo in tho
Senate—will tha Senate notice it, or shall I
get weapons.” . , *
The correspondent of tho Clipper says-.-—
Mr. Clay called on both Senators to pledge'
themselves that nothing further should take
place between them.
Mr. Benton said he had done nothing wrong
and would rot in jail before ho would do any
thing of the kind.
On motion of Mr. Dodge, a committee of
g even was appointed to investigate the affair,
Da. Webster at Home.—A letter from
“A Bostonian,” in the Baltimore Sun, after
speaking of the efforts that have been made
abroad to excite sympathy in behalf of Dr.
Webster, and to misrepresent the merits of
his case, says—
I will only add, that a memorial in behalf of
; ’Dr- Webster’s pardon has been started in Cam
bridge ; not ten names could bo got to it, so
Iplnversat was the conviction of his guilt, and
it was abandoned. In Boston, where the trial
’look place, and whore tho best means of judg
ing as to its fairness were enjoyed, there has
been, I believe, no memorial for the pardon of
the criminal, and none could obtain any re
sponsible signatures, under the idea that his
conviction was unjust, according to the evi
dence and the law.
From Mexico.;.
By the brig Water Witch, arrived at New
Orleans on tho 14th, thfe Delta bus Mexican
dates to tho 5th inst.
The federal congress Was in session in the
city of Mexico. The re-organization of the
army—of the military tribunals—-tho planting
of colonies on the northern frontier—were en
grossing the attention of Congress-. A project
for building a railroad from Vera Cruz through
the city of Mexico to San Juan, on the Pacific,
had been adopted. The Mexican journals pre
dict, confidently, its speedy termination.- Cap
italists, and property holders in the .capital,
and in the states of Mexico and Vera Cruz,
are disposed to make libcrable advances for the
furtherance of tho enterprize. '
The city of Mexico wus tranquil, and prp-
nunciamionto-mongers, seemed disposed to al
low the republic some repose, -through -the
summer, at least.
The cholera prevailed extensively in the
states of Zacatecas, New Leon, Michoucan,
and in other parts of the republic. , There had
been from thirteen to nineteen' cases a day in
tho city of'Zacatecas, during tho past’ month.
Tanbuato and. the Hacienda of Solotlad, in
Michoacan, were severely scourged by the fear
ful plague,-six cases in seven proving fatal.
The Indian war in Yucatan is drawing to.a
close ; the Indians have been Worsted in sever
al engagements. Not so in Sonora and Chihua
hua. The unprotected inhabitants of these
States are continually harraaset? by the savage
hordes which, from Texas, New Mexico, and
California, overrun their country, destroy or
carry awuy their property, murder their women
and old men, and lead their children intp cap
tivity.
The Legislature of Sonora, for the protection
of their constituent-, have established Guerrilla
corps and offered rewi^ls for the heads of those
savage robbers and murderers, Tiie Legisla
ture of Chihuahua did likewise.. But i» ap
pears that the- Chiefs of those Guerrillas—
among the number an American, by the namo of
John Glanton—have mado themselves as fearful
a name for. murder, rape, pud rapine, as any of
the Camanqhe or Apache chiefs, whom they un
dertook to destroy. Who will now take the
reward for the head of John Glanton?
Smuggling over the northern frontier is on
the increase. .The revonue from customs is
dwindling down to nothing—npt enough to pay
for the expenses of collection. Tho Goveror
of Now Leon, in a communication to the Min
ister of Finanoe, assigns, among other reasons
for this decline of the receipts of the customs,
tho participation of the collecting officers in the
business of smuggling carried on by the people,
on the American side of the Rio Grande.
D. Pedro Gurcia Cotide, the boundary com- 1
missioner appointed by the Mexican Govern
ment, arrived at Guadalajara on tho 16th'ult.-
The paper puhljshed at that city says that the
accounts of the proceedings of the commission
published in .the M ex i EDn papers are entirely
fa)se. Tne line between tne two Californias
v.'as entirely completed, and only needed the.
monuments which are tube placed at the ter.
minations. These aio to be constructed in the
United States, of marble and iron, and two
engineers, one on.each side, were to meetut
San Diogo to place them. i ,
After this the two commissioners aro.to meet
at Basso Dal Norte on the first Monday of No
vember next, as it would be useless to pass the
California desert for the third time. Further,
snys the Guadalajara paper, the American com
mission has not deserted its post, it hus not
spent $150,000, neither has it been in need of
instructions, as has been stated.
From Chili.—The N, O. Picayune has ad"
vices from Chili to the 21st February, giving an
account of the very flattering reception of our
Minister, Hon. Bailie Peyton, by the Chilian
Executive.
Mr. Peyton reached Santiago on the 5th of
Fe. ruary, and was received by the inhabitants
and the authorities, with the highest courtesy.
He had his official audience on the 16th, when
he presented his credentials, on being intro
duced, witli the customary honors, to President
Bulnes by the Minister of Foreign Affuirs. The
President, is described as a hale, frank, soldier
like old gentleman, about sixty years of age—
in personal appoarance, Halts of character and
portions of his history, not unlike Gen. Taylor.
February is the midsummer month in Chili,
and the people there were enjoying tho ripest
and most luscious of melons, plums, peaches,
grapes, figs, roasting ears, &c.
Fires in Mmt ©*L* A ns.-The N^To

cendiary fires In that city. On the 14,j, tl)
were several' buildings consumed, which Ti

A Ladies’ Opinion of the Forr Est c* S£
■Tho following is from the pen of a lady, %'
Lydia Jano Pierson, editress of the Lanca ”
Gazette, a ludy of well known dignity atl / "
rity of character:
We-have just read the published testing
on which Mr. Forrest rests his petition for 7
vorce, and truly it is sufficient to sink a worn '
to the lowest depths of peditien. 1911
“ If the half of it is true, Mr. Forrest i
fully justifiable in any course he may take *
sever the bonds that, unite him to Buch a b °
den of infamy. But if this testimony is true"'
if Mrs. Forrest is guilty, and must, in coniT
quenco, be cast out 01 .society, H9 B l epron .
thing—what should bo tho meed of th e genii
men who are implicated in her guilt? W ) C '
sought hor for_ guilty purposes; stealing fit!
other incendiaries, into a man’s house, to H
him-of his. most precious jewels—his honor and
his peace.
“ If these things be adjudged true, wi)[ t |, e
wivos’of these gentlemen overlook their vi| 0
delinquencies 1 Will ladies who turn conteinp-
•uously from Mrs. Forrest, delight them in the
society of her dccorriplicbs 1 We know that
this is the usual course. We knowladits who
would by no means admit a suspected woman
to their society, who entertain, with gracious
hospitality and pleasant: smiles, the very men
who are accused of having sullied the honor of
the woman they contemn.
“ This injustice is a foul blot on the charac
ter of woman. Fouler even than the sin it so
partially affects to despise ; for is k not evident
that the abhorrence of guilt which contemns
tho spoiled and smiles upon the spoiler, is the
effect of envy, jealously—anything, rather than
a just appreciation of the moral evil."
Catholics and Slavery.—The Rev. Mr.
Cummings, an eloquent.divine oi the Catholic
Church in New- York, ds abotrt te give a public
lecture in that ciiy, pn the suhjeebof Slavery.
It ie done at the requeM of several citizens, in
order to define the p'osition of the Catholics on
the subject off slavery .
The Washington Correspondent of tho
Charleston Ceurjer says.t.
There is still some doubt whether Congress
will not fepeal the law creating the Depart
ment of the Interior. Tho few was loosely
drawn audita provisions are the subject of
controversy,; aqd tho utility of the Department
is disputed.
Among the nominations now before th*Sen
ate which are likely to be rejected, is that of
Mr. Ewbsnk, the Commissioner of Fatents—
partly because Mr. Ewing appointed him and
the New York Tribune supported him. Mr.
Foot;) has laid down at tule, that every nomina
tion made under abolition or ultra anti-slavery
auspices, shall he 1 ejected.. -
