THE MORNING NEWS. BY JOHN M. COOLER. WILLIAM T. THOMPSON, EDITOR' T K R M S: Dolly Paper, $1,00:::::Tri weekly ®2,00 All new Advertisementi appear in both papers. 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 BAVASfSrAIEo Hntiirdny Morning, June 22, 1850 be expressed. 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.

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 ly Georgia production, the article with which it is made being produced from the native sour orange, by a process invented by Mr. Humphreys, nnd for- which helms received a dnplotna from tlu: America}?- Institute of New York, the only one received from that Society by any person this side of Pennsylvania. We uudorstand that this is but one among many usc- ul inventions of which Mr. Humphreys is the au tlior, aud which have given him a reputation at home and abroad as a skilful and scientific Chemist. Such men deserve to be encouraged by our community, a» in all improvements which tend too increase tho production nnd develop the resources of oursectiou, they have a common interest Success to Georgia en- terprize and industry, isn standard measure with u 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 dy. 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 Woman’s Rights.

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 people, says tlie Trait d’ Union, are imploring protection of the Deity through their priests, in the different churches.

Tlie Legislature of the State of Sonora lias passed a law decreeing that any citizen of that State who leaves without a passport forfeits all right to citizen ship.

' Beta. The Dry Goods Trade. Speaking of tlie busi ness transacted in this p at titular branch of trade du- 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 : From Rio. A letter in the N. Y. Tribune, dated Pernambuco Alny 1, says : ■ , There is little fever here now, though at Rio Janeiro it continues very bad. The mail steamer h.i? just ar rived here from that place, nnd report.-: that it is rag ing beyond all precedent. Hundreds die daily, the •tores are all closed, and business ha? utmost i ntirely cessed. Among the.dead ure several Senators and o thers of the most prominent men in tho capital. In treating the lever in ibis place, the homeopathic hyuicians nave hod remarkable success. gy* ‘Chokers,’’ “ Knivers," ” Killers,” “ I’oun- /sers,” "Pluckers,” and “ Soakers,” are the delectabl. 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. two friends wore eagerly declaring to the crowd thnt 1 was tlie seducer of Mr. Forrest's wife. This pre 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.
