Correspondence of the Daily Morning Hews.
New York, June 17, 1850.
The remarkably quiescent state of this city at. the
present time, may probably indicate something—prob
ably the hot weather, and the fear ot Cholera may
act ns preventives to excitement; or it may be that
warning calm that comes beiore the storm. Whatev
er the cause, certain it is, that the fact is palpable,
and letter-writers for di'stnnt newspapers have to tax
their imagination for material to make out a possibly
readable epistle.
An effort has been mado here, to get up a sort of
monster petition to Congress, to pass the Compromise
bill now under consideration, and a large number of
names have been obtained; but it appears to me that
the public mind is directed moro to the recommends-
of Gen. Taylor, in this matter, and, for my own part,
that seems to be the moBt feasible plan; for it is very
certain that neither of them will settle this vexed
question, and as it is still to be an open one, the Pres
ident’s suggestion settles all that is necessary for the
present. “ Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof,"
aud the less we do, when our efforts cannot remove
the evil, the better; because in doing too much we
may increase, instead of abating it. The petition will
be an immense one, without doubt; but the success
of the Clay Compromise seems to be doubtful.
Your readers will remember a diubolicnl outrage
that was committedhere a short time since, by a gang
of villains, who, at night, broke into the house ot a
man named Rock, and having beaten and bound him,
violated the persons of his wife and ueice, n young
girl about 17 yoars of age. Many of the fellows were
arrested, but ndmitted to bail, and now, when called
for trial, behold! they are not to be found, and Rock
and his family have been spirited away in a most mys
terious manner. One of the gang appeared when
called on, and stood his trial, and another turned
State’s evidence, whose testimony, of course, excul
pated the prisoner from the serious part of the charge,
and he was convicted ot assault only-, and sent to pris
on for six months 1 This is the way justice is trifled
with in this city.
The dinner to Mr. Dickinson takes place to-night, at
Tammany Hall, so that those Who expert a good din.
ner will be snrily disappointed, for this hotel is not
celebrated for its cuisino. I understand that none of
the proprietors of the "crack” hotels would get up
the dinner on the terms required by the Committee,
aDd hence Tammany became the dernier resort. The
price of a ticket is $5; but for this the Committee
wanted the proprietor to furnish carriages for the in
vited guests, and feed the Committee gratis. A very
modest request, truly. ;
Ashley, one of the Drury gang of scoundrels, has
gone to Sing Sing for six yenrs j he was sentenced and
hurried off within ond hour, or else some ingenious
device would have been concocted to detain him.
Drury is on trial to day, in Brooklyn, for counterfeit
ing, and he possibly may receive justice over there.
The man Ashley will take his imprisonment and hard
labor with a bnd grace, for he has Uvea luxuriously
upon the proceeds of his villany, and is the veriest
hypocrite alive. He is a sanctimonious looking fel
low was a member of a Church, and has all the ap
pearance of a Methodist Class Leader, which 1 believe
he was, until recently.
A now Bible Soicety has been organized by the
Rev. Spencer Cone and others of the Baptist persua
sion, for the purpose of circulating wlmt they term a
“correct version” of the Holy Scriptures. The prin
cipal alteration, ns I understand, is ns to the word
“ baptism” which it is contended, means immersion
and is to be so considered.
The Atlantic stnrted'on her second voyage to Eu
rope on Saturday, with 72 passengers, nnd 50,000 gold
sovereigns. The Asia left Boston, on Monday, and
should she continue as she begun, will make the trip
to Liverpool in eight days. Her run to Hulifux wns
made in three hours less than it was ever done before.
The Viceroy's trip from Galwny mny be set down as
a failure sixteen days wont da now—she may have
better luck next time, perhaps. 1 see that the differ
ence in distance between that place and Liverpool is
only 260 miles.
The city mortality last week rather exceeded
that of the previous weeks; the deaths numbered
262.
The nmount of specie exported from here last
week exceeded 8140,000. Since the first of January
the nmount sent from New York is over two millions
of dollars. Therehnvebeenlaunched from shipyards
here during the present year—nine ships (10,840 tons);
5.steamships (10,200 tonB) ; 7 steamboats (0130 tons).
There are now in course of building, five ships,
9 steamships and 3 steamboats.
The Italian opera company do not succeed eo well
as in their first visit, nnd very shortly intend to try
Castle Garden—a vast wilderness of u place, iri which
the voice only reaches the air by piecemeal, it has to
be distributed over so large a space. Theatres are at
a low ebb just now. Barnum has built a beautiful
theatre, (lecture room he calls it,) in his museum,
and opens it to the public to night. He knows how to
gaffinkn the flats, or humbug the weak better than
any body I know. CHAllLE.MAC.
Congrcssionnl Proceedings.
Washington, June 17.
Senate.—The adjustmentbill wns taken up and Mr.
Soule offered an amendment, providing that the ter
ritories shall come into the Union cither ns free or
slave States, ns the people of the same shall choose.
A discussion arose on the amendment, in which
Messrs. Baldwin, Dayton, Cass, Webster Seward,
Soule, Achison, Dodge of Iown, Butler, Foote, and
Miller took port.
Mr. Seward said he would have voted for the ad
mission of California had she presented herselt au a
slave State.
Mr. Webster stated that he should vote for the a-
mendment, though ho thought it useless. His opin
ions on this subject were the snme that they were on
the 7th of March. lie expressed strongly his desire to
promote a settlement of this question.
Mr. Douglas Bald the people had a right to come
into the Union, either ns elaveholding or non-slave
holding States. He saw no reason why we should
not declare this when it come so fairly in our way.—
If there was any doubt about the principle it ought to

The amendment was adopted by the following
Fire. Thcalnrmof fire last night, nbout 11 o’clock,
wns caused by tho burning of a quantity of hay in a
brick stable in renr of the house occupied by Madam
Girard, near the Court House. It was extinguished
by tho neighbors before any damage was done. It
was, undoubtedly, tho work of an incendiary.
Yens—Messrs. Atchison, Bndger, Bell, Benton, Ber
rien, Bright, Butler, Cass, Clay, Clemens, Cooper,
Davis, of Mies., Dawson, Dodge, of Iowa, Douglas,
Downs, Foote, Houston, Hunter, Jones. King, Mason,

The Senate then went into executive session, and
at the usual hour adjourned.
House of Representatives.—Mr. Bsylv, of Va., mov
ed a suspension of the rules to enable him to intro- I
dace a resolution making the several appropriation
bills the special order of the day for the 24th of June
and each day thereafter, at 1 o'clock, until they shall
have been finally disposed of. The House refused to
suspend the rules by a vote on yens nnd nays of 114
in the affirmative and 67 in the negative—not two-
thirds.
Mr. Stephens, of Gn., asked tho suspension of the
rules to enable him to introduce a resoluti in provid
ing for the adjournment, by the consent of the Sen
ate, of the present session of Congress on the 12tli
day of August, at 12 o’clock. The House refused to
suspend the rules.
The House, on the motion of Mr. Nelson, agreed
to suspend the rules to receive a resolution provid-
that the daily hour of meeting shall be hereafter 11
o’clock, A. M. Tho resolution wns adopted.
Mr. Wentworth moved to suspend the rules to ena
ble him to introduce n resolution to instruct the Com
mittee of the Whole to report the California bill of
of Mr. Doty to die House, od the next time said com
mittee shall take up said bill for considertion.
This proposition caused considerable excitement,
nnd several points of order were raised against the
proposition.
The Chair decided the proposition wns in order.
It wns appeuled from, and the nppeal was laid on
the table.
Tlie question was then taken on the motion to sus
pend the rules for thereceptiou of the resolution, and
it was decided in the negative on yens and nays, by a
vote 131 in the affirmative to 77 in the negative.
Tito following are the only representatives from the
free States, of those who voted against the suspension
of the rules, viz: Messrs Dimmick, of Pa., Miller, of
Ohio, Young, of Ill., Ross and Robbins, of Pa.
Mr. Stanley, of N. C. and Hammond, of Vn., voted
for the suspension of the rules.
The House then adjourned.
Georgia Cologne Water.
With pleasure we acknowledge the receipt of a fine
specimen of Cologne water from Mr.W. Humphreys,
Druggist, of this city. The article will compare fa
vorably with the best imported Cologne, nnd, what
gives it a still higher./hirer in ourestimation.it isapuro

that Society by any person this side of Pennsylvania.
We uudorstand that this is but one among many usc-

and abroad as a skilful and scientific Chemist. Such

The Attempted Insurrection in Guudnlnupe.
In our paper of yesterday we had a brief telegraph
ic account of an attempted insurrection at Marti-
neque. The New York Tribune of Tuesday, has the
following letter received by the brig J. ]Y. Watson,
at that port, from Ponce P. II.
Point Petre, (Guadeloupe.\ May 23.
On the nighf of the 12th inet. the city of Point Petro
was fired by the negroes, that being a signal fov a gen
eral insurrection However, the negroes did not suc
ceed in entering the city, having been deterred by the
prompt measures of the citizens, but sundry over
seers’ houses wore burnt to the ground, and the
smoking ruins and destitute families presente i a
scene difficult to describe.
The city has been tired four different times since,
by which eighteen houses have been burned. The
Governor has put tho city in a stuto of siege, and
we trust for the present that it is safe. No citizen
is allowed to be out after t) o'clock. .Several conspir
ators have bceiir arrested nnd will be tried to-day,
and probable will be shot. The report of this
morning is that the city will be fired again to
night.
'Flic Governor Gen. is expected to-dny with troops
from Martinique. We have at present about 801)
troops and a body of militia, (the latter nil colored)
under orders. God alone knows what the ctid may
be, but to judge of the future from the past, it may
yet form a second edition of tile St. Domingo trage

Slny at Home.
Under the above title we have read several articles
in the Southern papers in which arguments are used
to convince our people of the liropriety of spend-
ding the ensuing summer at home, instead ol making
the fashionable tour of tho North, ns usual at this sea
son of the year. Many nnd weighty reasons are given
why tlie people of the Southern States in the pres
ent aspect of our political nffaire, ought not to contri
bute their annual installment to the building up of til
fashionable watering places of the North, by which
those States are Enriched and our own impoverished
to the extent of the nmount expended in tlie costly in
duigences of'sucli places. If wealth and patriotism
were identical, good might perhaps be effected by
such appeals; but unfortunately those who are able to
spend time aud money in tlie pursuit of pleasure,
are,for tile most part,like those who are uot, disposed
to purchase their enjoyments where the largest amount
is to be obteinedat the smallest cost; nnd generally
exercise their discretion in this mntter with no other
thought than that of a selfish regard for their own in
dividuhl tastes and preferences. Tlie. general good
when it conflicts with their own individual pleasure,is
rarely taken into the account. Very few therefore
will be persuaded to forego the fashionable tour of the
North, from purely patriotic considerations.
W e believe, however, that there nre ninny who if
they would give the subject a little reflection would
find other and more weighty arguments to direct
their summer wanderings in another course. The
inveterntely fashionable would go to Saratoga or New
port, to enjoy the crowded rooms, overseasoned und
half-cooked dinners, extravngnnt display of millinery,
dashing equipages, fancy balls, promiscuousness nnd
dissipation of the season, if they were compelled to
anticipate their income for the next twelve months to
defray their expenses. Upon these, a rational argu
ment agniut such lolly would be but a waste ofwords.
But there are others sensible reflecting people who
prefer, rather to enjoy fife rationally, than to seem to
enjoy it irrationally. To such it may be well to
point out, if we can, a more profitable way of pnss-
iug the summer solstice.
What we would like modestly to suggest then, (to
borrow nnd adapt the thoughts of a worthy coteinpo-
rary) is a few words to the youth of both sexes, who

The fast sailing schr C. A. L. Lamar, Cnpt. Light-
borne, arrived yesterday from Havana, having
made the run in four days. By this arrival we have
but little nows, nothing important lmvtng transpired in
Havana. The city presented the appearance of a mil
itary camp, drilling, inarching nnd counter-marching
being the chief employment of the citizens. We learn
that the citizens go to their daily occupations with
muskets on their shoulders, and in an hour or two nre
called forth to undergo a drill, and perform military
exercise. *
Two clerks of a Spanish house, having expressed
themselves incautiously on the Lopez affair, were ar
rested and thrown into prison. The American pris
oners taken from the Susan Loud and Georgiana,
were still confined in the Harbor of Havana, on board
a Spanish man-of-war, but nothing could be learned
of the action of the Spanish government in relation
to the case. Havana is comparatively healthy, and
bet few cases of cholera in the interior is repor
ted. The Cuba authorities still believe that a large
expedition is fitting out in this country to attack
them.

Collision Between Forrest anti Willis .
The last Ncio York Tribune says: The quiet of
WasUington-square was extraordinarily disturbed
yesturday afternoon by a most unexpected encounter
between two men of extensive public reputation—
Edwin Forrest, the American tragedian, and Nathan
iel P, Willis, Editor of the Home Journal. As near
as we can get at tlie facts, they are these : Mr. Willis
ring last week in New York, the ” Dry Goods Report-
er” says:
“ A better feeling prevail? in the market; and there
is every illdicut on of an early commencement of tile
fall trade. We notice more buyers in the market,
nnd some offers have been accepted, that would have
been refused a short time ngo. In British and Con
tinental goods, there is nothing of importance doing
in the way of present sales, and the interest felt in
this market is now concentrated in the receipt of
goods and the preparations making for the fall trade.”
Adas, Poor Ireland.—One cannot rend the follow
ing paragraph from the Limerick Examiner, without
feeling a glow of indignation at tlie cruelty exercised
upon the peasantry by- the wealthy landholders in
some parts of Ireland :
“A gentleman from this city, who travelled through
Bodyke on yesterday, informs us that lie beheld one ot
the most appalling sights he ever witnessed, at a place
culled Knuckbrack, about a mile ut this side ot
Bodyke, were over sitety families, whose bouses had
been levelled three or lour days previously, were e-
reeting huts by the side of tile road to protect them
selves from the thunder storm and rain that w as des
cending at the time. He beheld several young crea
tures crouched beneath a dresser, and other articles
of household furniture, seeking fov shelter. The pro
perty is said to belong to au nbsentee and officer in tlie
army. It is added that ut Cluunmtmn, beyond boon
Lake, and on tile same property forty houses have been
levelled with the ground. Our informant, n respecta
ble man, estimated the whole number of tlie evicted
sit, or over, 100 families, and at five to each—a moder
ate calculation—hundred human beings have thus
been cast upon the world to beg and starve.”
Mr. Willis was knocked down, whether by Forrest
or some ot'.ier person we entmot say, and whiledown,
or while trying to rise, he was struck several times
with a sort of whip or cane made of guttn pefceha.
We understand that some persons endeavored to in
terfere, but were prevented from doing so. Officers
Stinniau and Girand snw the transaction nnd imme
diately arrested Mr. Forrest, who made no resistance
to tlie law, and took also Mr. Willis before Justice
McGrath, at Jettersou Market Police Court, where, ns
Mr. Willis refused to make a complaint, the officers
entered the complaint of breaking tlie pence against
both Forrest anil Willis, und the Justice held them to
bail to keep the peace for six months. Michael
Cox was bail for Mr. F'orrest, and a gentleman
whose nnme we did not learn became surety for
Mr. Willis. The cause of this affair is well enough
know to tlie public, who have had tlie long details of
the disagreement between Mr. Forrest and his wife
laid before them. We leave the render to make his
own estimate of the character of the affray. A card
from Mr. Willis appears below :

To the editor of the Tribune :
Sir—As a statement will doubtless appear, of an
outrage which took place this evening, and as it may
not be correct, allow me to stuto it, simply as it hap
pened :
While walking in Washington square, with no sus
picion that any one was lieur me, 1 wns suddenly
knocked down, and while upon the ground, severely
beaten. The first thing I could observe was that two
men, a Mr. .Stevens, und uuotber, were struggling to
prevent persons from interfering ; niul, when I rose
to luy feet, 1, for the first time, saw Mr. Edwin F'or
rest. He was in the hands of police officers, and his
more fortunnte than ourself, huve the leisure and the
means to enable them to leave the hot, dusty city for
a time, and breathe the purer air of other regions.
Of such we would aek—Why do tlie pleasure seekers
of Savannah fly from the boundaries of Georgia
whenever the note of Summer excursions is sounded ?
Do they forget that there is more to be seen in the in
terior of our own State than in any two of the States
whither they have been accustomed to go at tlie beck
of fashion ? Why do they not break loose from the
trnmmels that have hung upon their American fathers
and mothers, and imitate their English and Scotcli
cousins, who go at leisure, on foot, on horseback, or
by other conveyance, among their native mountains,
nnd pick up pleasure and health by tho wayside ? A
few weeks in the mountainous region of Georgin, eith
er at a farm house, at Marietta, Clarksville, or if they
like it better, at a wutering place, such as the Madi
son, the Indian, or Rowland’s Springs, would fortify
them for a fall and winter in town, much more than
a month of luxurious folly at a crowded, fashionable
resort such ns Newport or Saratoga. There is no
scenery in the Union more wildly picturesque thnn
that of Toccoa and Tallulah; no air more pure and
bracing thnn that of our own mountains ; no water
more pure and wholesome thnn that which gushes
from their springs.
Why then should not pur young people spend n
part of their summer iu visiting this interesting mid
picturesque region of our State; in mingling with its
people ; studying its resources, agricultural nnd min
eral, of which their only knowledge is derived from
their geography and their newspaper; nnd iii viewing
the grand nnd beautiful iu Nature, who is, ns yet, far
above fashion nnd art in Georgia! A tour throughjthe
mineral regions of Georgia would do more to enlight
en the mind, and invigorate the body, tiiun a lifetime
spent at a fashionable watering place, in the society
of the idle and vicious. It would open to them new
springs of'pleasure, nnd new ideas of the greatness of
their nutive State. It would make them acquainted
with a class of our fellow citizens of whom, from
want of intercourse, they nre comparatively ignorant
—the truly upright and intelligent farmers, the gen
erous inhabitants of our flourishing interior towns,
and the enterprizing propi-ietors of the factories,
mills, and forges that springing up in those regions
—who, in their courteous hospitality and unaffected
manners, show more of the real prince than is to be
met with under a moustache or a title, at Newport or
Saratoga.
We might enlarge upon the advantages of these
home excursions, but it is unnecessary. As we have
said, argument would be lost on the veteran fashion
seeker; we have, howover, some hope that a word In
reason may not be wholly lost on tho rising genera
tion, who are not yet wholly within the thrall of the
arbitrary goddess.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, June 17.
A very important vote wns taken to-day ill I he Sen
ate on the adjustment bill. It secures the passage of
the bill in the Senate. Bv a large majority (32 to 12)
Mr. Soule’s amendment wns adopted, and itsettles one
question, whieh to the South is vital, to wit; that new
States mny come into the Union, mid as slavelwlding
States, if people thereof choose to adopt shivery. The
doctrine held by northern ultras is. that another
8tate, (except from Texas and south of 36 deg. 40 min.
shall never be allowed to come into the Union. This
abstraction is now settled, and there carmot be much
more difficulty in regard to the bill.
The reason that Mr. Seward’s name does not appear
in the negative, is that he paired off with his colleague,
Mr. Dickinson.
Mr. Webster has shown to day that he will “ trend
no step backwards." His brief speech elicited a spon
taneous hurst of applause from the galleries.
Mr. Clay will retire from tho Senate as soon ns tlie
adjustment is effected. He will retire, in that case,
witli glory enough for one man. . Still another diffi
culty in the way of adjustment is partially removed
by the President’s importantdecision us to the Texan
difficulties.
The President says, in his meseuge presented to
day :
“ I have now to state that information lias been re
cently received that a certain R. J. Neighbors, styling
himself a Commissioner of Texas, lias proceeded to
Santa Fe, with a view of organizing counties in the
district, under the authority of Texas.
While I have no power to decide the question fof
disputed boundaries,! nnd no desire to interfere with
it as n question of title, I have to observe that the
possession of tlie territory, into which, it appears,
Mr. Neighbor has thus gone, was actually acquired by
the Ud. States from Mexico, nnd lias since boon hold
by tlie United States, and, in my opinion, ought so to
remain, until tho question shall have been determined
by snme competent authority.
Meanwhile, I think t ere is no reason for apprehen
ding that Texas will practically interfere with tlie pos
session of the United States.”
S'iP’A Utter in the New York Tribune says:
Mr. Soule’s amendment is understood to have
gained tlie author, nnd Mr. Sebaetain of Arkansas for
the Omnibus, while it has driven away from the sup
port of that measure the two Senators from Wiscon
sin at least. The friends of the Omnibus bold a cau
cus last night and determined to push tlie bill to a
vote as speedily as possible.
The National Intelligencer thinks that Mr. Soule’s
amendment will save the compromise.

pared falsehood nnd slander of that lady they eontin
tied, to declare at the Police Office, where we were ta
ken. When 1 informed tiie Judge thnt 1 had.no com
plaint to make, or other reekoqing with Mr. Forrest, at
that place, the usual bail was required, and 1 left the
office. As my whole provocation to this ruffianly as
sault bus been an endeavor to vindicate the honor of
a ladv, (and of course, equally to show that her lius-
baud had.net througlihcr come to dishonor,) public
opinion, as far ns that reparation can go, will readiiy
sec the outrage in Its true light.

Death from Suferstition. A colored man,
named David Boston, lately residing neat' Ilchester in
Howard District, Fid., died on the 1st instant, the vic
tim of knavery and superstition. A large amount of
phlegm having accumulated in his throat from a se
vere cold, lie and his wife concluded he bad a frog
in him. and that somebody had “tricked" him. A ras
cally "fortune teller" in Baltimore confirming this
idea, no one was allowed to see him, and He taking no
nourishment, finally died.
