tim the morning news. BY JOHN IH. COOPEH. WILLIAM T. THOMPSON, EDITOR. TERMS: Dally Paper, 4,00::::: Tri-wcckly ® 300 All new Advertiscmenls appear in both papers- Correspondence of the Daily Morning News. New York, Juni^l9,jl850. A little storm has succeeded the calm, mentioned n my last letter, arising out of the everlasting “ I' or- rest case.” The papers have discussed pretty freely the subject of Forrest's brutal attack on Mr. Willis on Monday night; which, under any circumstances, was most injustlllnble. His bullies or pimps are en deavoring to place tho^natter in ns favorable n light as possible i but an oye witness distinctly says, that Forrest went up behind Willis und struck him violent ly with something on the buck ot the head, felling him to tho ground ; he then snatched lrotn the hand of Willis a small cane, and plucing his foot upon his neck, heat him unmercifully; his two friends keeping off those who wished to interfere, and asser ting as Forrest himself did, that he (Willis) was the seducer of his wife,and he was chastising him for it. He reiterated this at the Police office. Something has been said of Willis’s having put his hand inside his vest as though for the purpose of producing n a weapon, and I think it very likely that he was arm ed, for Stevens (Forrest’s man of all work) has made no secret of the fact, that Forrest intended to attack the othor whenever they met, and both Wyckoff nnd Parke Godwinadvised him to go armed. This fact would tend to falsify the statement in Stevens' card, that Forrest saw Willis coming across the parndc ground and deliberately walked up to him ; because if so, the othor would have been prepured to receive him. Wyckoff, I understand is to be the nex t victim, but he leaveB for Europe to-day in the Ameri ca, if Is rumored. There is but one opinion in this community, or nt least the respectable portion of it, nnd that is strong ly condemnatory of Forrest; nnd what little sympa thy many did entertain for him, his conduct has entirely withdrawn. Is it to be tolerated that a man without proof may thus jump nt conclusions— take the law into his own handB, and outrage tho law, de cency, and the woman he has sworn to protect— trumpeting his own supposed shamo, and her dishon or In the public streets. And what for ?—to excite tho passion of the low minded and the base, and wreak his vengeance through their agency,ns he did on Mn- cready, when our gutters ran with blood. In my mind, he is little better than a wild beast, (though not so noble in liis instincts os some of them,) and should bo legally restrained. I was told yesterday thnt ovldcnce of Mrs. Forrest's guilt has been obtained, which cannot be doubted— that persons are rendy to swear to having seen her enter houses of assignation ; but I cannot believo it, and knowing as I do that ladies of the highest charac ter, still visit her, and that tho wife of one of d\ir most respestublo citizens is now on a visit to her, strengthens my conviction of her innocence. I am told that she bears her trials with remarkable forti tude and calmncsB, concious of her innocence—not objecting to a divorce, but strongly so, to permitting her character to bo blasted. The Printer's Library nnd Reading Room is to be dedicated to hight-with appropriate ceremonies, H. J. Raymond, Esq., of the Courier, delivers tho address. The Library is situated in Broadway, and contains already 4 or 5000 volumes. We are in the full enjoyment of strawberries and cream just now—they are very plentiful, and very ripe, rich and luscious. They sell for four cents per basket. Senator Dickinson having been received by the ci ty authorities—entertained at the Astor House, nt the iity's expense, ate a dinner, and made a long speech, at Tammany Hall, and held a levee in the Governor's room, returned last night to Washington. His recep tion must have been highly gratifying. . A man named Brown was killed this morning on tho Hudson River Rail Road, being he was tip by the cow-catcher and thrown a considerable distance.— His injuries were bo sevoro that he died soon after wards. The America left here to-day with 103 passengers and $198,955, in specie. Among the passengers is Mr. •Kinney of tho Newark Advertiser, our Charge to Sar dinia. We are in hourly expectation of news by the Caynhria, now due at Halifax. A trial of some importance took place yesterday in one of our Courts. Tho suit wns to ■ recover the value- of a large quantity of cheese, complained of by the neighbors and seized by the authorities and* thrown into the river during the prevalence of tho cholera last summer. The effluvia was most offen sive, but the cheese itself was said not to be unwhole some, and was considered a bonne louche by Germnns and Frenchman. The jury gave a verdict for tho plaintiff', for nearly one thousand dollars. The evidence in the divorce case of Dr. Arnold and wife closed this morning, and counsel commenced summing up; it will probably be terminated to-day or to-morrow. Two facts have been proved on this trial—that St John's Park is a.resort of heasts on two legs, aud that beasts of another description resort there for the purpose of levying black-mail. The Drury case did not come on for trial on Mon day at Brooklyn. There has been nothing but post ponement throughout this affair. I wonder that the courts can thus be trifled with. We are all on the qui vine for the production of • the opera of the Huguenots, hy the Italian Company on Friday night. Fashion, which has not extended its patronage to this company, will probably be in duced to be.present on this occasion. CIIARLEMAC. Ireland. The" news of the state of this unhappy country brought by tho Viceroy, is far from encouraging. The western coast or Ireland is in a very deplorable con dition. Between rack rents, poor rates, nnd othor c- normous taxation, tho very blood nnd vitnlsnre press ed out of tho people. It seems it is necessary to col lect the poor rates by the aid of her Majesty's war steamers. Emigration from Ireland. A correspondent writing irom Waterford, in reference to emigration from Ireland, says: Two first class steamers leave weekly, ench carrying some hundreds oi people eve ry trip, nnd those notconsisting of such specimens ot our peasantry as I wns accustomed to see toiling tneir way through tho streets of Manchester, on the ap proach of oobvest time, nnd from whom John Hull, 1 fear, too often forms his notion of the Irish. Instead of these poor creatures, hull garbl'd in grey 1 raize and rugs, you seo men of an appearance in cvci y way their superior—tall, well formed and athletic, comfor table clad, chiefly in dark blue; the women, too, gen erally well dressed aud well looking, and all with a tol erable quantity of luggage, und many, it Is said, with considerable sums ot money. I hey are principally from Tipperary, King’s county, Wexiord, Waterloid and Kilkenny. The Dublin Nation of the let inst., contains an ar ticle protesting in the strongest terms ugainst the in human barbarities of the British government, in its treatment of the captive patriot, Smith O’Brien, now confined in the Maria Islands. The Nation Buys "they are killing Smith O’Brien, by slow murder," and usks, “does the law of God justify it? Does tliq law of man ordain it? Willtlic people of England sane tion it? Will the people of Ireland endure it?" The appeal.of the Nation i? truly eloquent and touching nnd will meeta response in the heart of every true m an, be lie Irish, American or English. Speaking o the present condition nnd treatment of the captive champion of Irish liberty, tile editor says: In solitude, in privution, in rags lives this Irish gen tieinan—this noble mun who lost liberty, homo, family —am.—for Ireland. Nor is this the whole, in the l’oui den where he is thrust, like a chained reptile, one generous girl of the age of ten years, daughter of the governor, sought, with the instinctive charity of her sex, to solace tile captive’s care, aud lighten liis suffering by kindly of fices ; and forthwith, on pain of new privation, O - Brien wns forbidden ever to speak toiler again. He lost this innocent familiar, whoso childish beauty and guilessness, purliaps, spoke to bis father-heart Tuemlay Morning;.

What multitudes have melted into tears over Una Aincrtcnn Art-Union. George B. Harding, Esq., Honorary Secretary of the American Art-Union, lias laid on our table a copy of the Transactions of this highly praiseworthy insti tution, for tlio year 1819. together with n most su perb engraving of tiio second picture of Cole’s High ly popular allegorical series, entitled The Voyage of Life, and Darlkv’s illustrations of Irving’s le gend of Sleepy Hollow. Cole’s pictures hnvc been too long tho theme of universal admiration among urtists mul connoisures to need any encomium from us. In engraving these pictures for distribution among the subscribers to tho Art-Union, the piauagers have afforded a gratify ing evidence of tho good taste and superior judge ment^ which they are governed in their selection of subjects, and of their desire and nbil.ty to incul-^ cate a correct appreciation of art among our public. The series when completed will be truly valua ble, and should hnvo a place in every home, where, by their daily teaching of the great moral lesson which they were designed by the artist to convey, they would accomplish the highest mission of true art—to refine nnd elevate the taste, to instruct nnd purify tbe heart. The etchings by DARLEYure most admirable nnd characteristic illustrations of one of the pleasantest conceits of America’s favorite author, Washing ton Irving. There is life und character und truth in very lace and form. In short Harley lias em bodied with his pencil what 1 Irving described with his pen, which is ns much as art could do. Wo designedto eaysometliing about the Al't-Unlon, and to speak of its object, and tile progress it has made, but our spaco will not permit us to do so at present. On a future occasion we will recur to the subject, with a view to p^int out its many claims up on thuintelligeutpublic. We will merely add at this time, that Mr. Har ding is prepared to deliver to the subscribers in this city, the works of the Union to which they arc entitled by the terms of their subscription. very incident in the prison revelations of Silvio 1 elt- co; and here we have it reenacted in the life ot a man from whom no human creature ever suffered at wrong. Those atrocities are inflicted by the governor oi Maria Island ; an official, whose brutality lias earned for him, in the colony, the title ot “The Black Ser pent ;" a tyrant whose name is a terror, and whose presence is despair to the hopless victims oi his in fernal cruelty. In this monster’s power; tortured, outraged, mad dened, lives your countryman ; the son ot your king- liest house; the generous patriot who fought and fell for you nnd us all. Alluding to the contemplated visit of the Queen, the Nation says:— "* We hear that the Queen of England comes to Ire land again this summer—comes for the ovntion thnt monarchs love from petted slaves. But we warn her and her ministers, thnt ns surely as she sets foot on Iribh soil, while O'Brien is thus tortured and degra ded, so surely, wherever she turns, shall his name be thundered in her ears, as a malediction—so surely iirvtit.wl in Vinr fnrp 'This nrnmisn shall his blood lie flouted in her face. This promise we will see fulfilled. Excursion to Tydee. The steamer J. Stone, will make an excursion to Ty bee this morning, nt 8 o’clock It will ull'ord our citizens an opportunity to visit Fort l’ulaski, and got a snutt' of the relreshing sea breeze. Fourth of July.—By reference to our advertis ing columns, it will be seen that -the members of the Third Beat Company will hold a meeting nt Ilodg-- son’s Park, this afternoon, to make arrangements to celebrate the anniversary of American independence. We are gratified to observe this spirit in the old Third —there is no luck of patriotism umong its members, nnd we have no doubt they will make such arrange ments as will insure a becoming celebration of the approaching Anniversary. , Congressional Proceedings. Washington, J unc 20, 1850, Senate. Mr. Clay presented resolutions of the Re form Convention ol Kentucky in (aver of tho passagr of the Senate adjustment bill. Mr. King reported a joint resolution granting gold medal to tho British barque Saruli, for saving wrecked American seamen. The adjustment bill wns taken up, nnd after a brief discussion. Hy Messrs Underwood, Foote and Pratt, of the pending amendment, giving the U. S. Supreme Court jurisdiction in the ense of the dispute between Texas nnd New Mexico, the amendment was reject ed—yens 1(5, nnys24—as follows : ; Yeas—Messrs. Baldwin, Clarke, Corwin. Davis ot Mass., Dodge of Wie., Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Miller, Phelps, Seward, Sprunnce, Underwood, Uphum, Wales, Witlkei—16. Nays—Messrs Atchison, Badger, Benton, Berrien, Bright, Butler, Cass, Clay, Cooper. Dawson, Downs, Felch, Foote, Houston, Hunter, King, Mason, Morton, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Soule, Sturgeon, Whitcomb —24. Mr. Berrien moved an amendment, providingtliat California have one representative in Congress, in stead of two, and that a new election take place. Berrien spoke at great length in support of the mo tion. Mr. Dougins delivered nu argument in reply. The first part of the amendment was rejected, yeas 12, nays 31. Tho second part wns rejected—yens 12, nays 22. Mr. Foote hoped, he said, that the understanding would bo that we should have no more amendments. The Senate then adjourned. House of Representatives. The Hou-n passed a resolution to close 11 ii debate in the committee on the bounty land bill at 1 o'clock to-day. Onn motion of Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, the House resolved itself into u committee of the whole, (Mr. Richardson in the chair,) and resumed tho considera tion of the bill giving bounty land to all tho soldiers and others who were in service in all the wars in which the United Stutcs has been engaged. Mr. Harrison spoke in favor of tho bill. He said that the bill would appropriate about 80 millions ul acres. Mr. Watkins advocated the passage of the hilt. He thought that 40 millions of acres would supply the claims under the bill. Mr. Cobb, of Ala., advocated the bill in one hour’s speech. Amendments were submitted by various members, some Of which wore discussed at length, when the committee rose and the House adjourned. Mount Pleasant Retreat. In another column will be found Mr. James C. Blance’s advertise, ment Btatirg tha^ie has opened this house, nt Thun derbolt, nnd is prepared to accommodate all persons who may favor him with a call. It is pleasantly sit uated on the Balts, and a delightful place to bathe.— Fishing parties can be accommodated at the Ret rent with boats, &c. We know of no place in the vicinity of our city whore a day can be more pleasantly spent. liouniy Hands. By the proceedings jn Congress, published yestcr day, it will be seen that a bill is now before the House wljich contemplates an appropriation of land to the soldiers who have served in the late wars of tho Uni ted States for a term of six months nnd upwnrds. It will he seen also that Mr. McLa*j«, of Maryland, lins- suggested an amendment to tho bill by which tlio bounty of the government will be extended to those whose terms of enlistment wns Icbs than six months. This is but just, nnd we sincerely hope thnt the bill may be so amended. We cannot see any good rea son lor fixing the term of service to six months, while we are certain that much injustice would result from such a restriction. By it thousands would be shut out from the benefits of the law who have rendered essential and hazardous service to the country, in fighting her battles, while others who had never seen an enemy, but had eaten their rations in camp or in quarters for tho term of six months or n year, would become the recipients of the Government bounty. The defenders of Baltimore, the men whose valor saved thnt city from falling into the hands of the Bri tish during the war of 1812, but whoso term of ser vice was less than six months, would be excluded, with thousands of other citizen soldiers who flocked to the standard of their country in the hour of peril. The thousamU of volunteers in our own State, who served in the Seminole lunl Creek wars of 1836-’37, who in the three or four months during which they were in the service in the wilderness and swamps of Flori da, encountered more hardship, pri vation nnd peri then others have had to endure during au enlistment of years, would be excluded from the benefits of tho law. The severfties ot the Semminole campaign oi 1836-'37, 'a well known to thousands in our State who participated in it. The rising of the Indians was sud den, und the call was made for volunteers to repair immediately to the scene of hostilities, to protect the defenceless inhabitants of the country. Georgia sent forth her Imttulions of youngmon, whowere the first in the field, and only left it at the expiration of the cam. paigu. The country was without roads or forts, nnd the army without moons of transportation; so that be tween hard labor, hard marching, exposure to all weathers, and limited supplies of provisions, to say nothing of their encounters with the enemy, they cn countered all, nnd in some instances more than hu man nature could bear, ns wns proved by the great number of dentsli that ensued on their return, from dis eases contracted in the camp, and hy the impaired and broken constitutions caused hy the hardships endur ed in thnt brief but arduous campaign. They rendered promptly pll tho service that the Government requir ed of them, nnd when the Government hnd no longer need of them, they returned to their homes are relieving the country of their support. It any class of troops ns entitled to the bounty of the Government, we think it is such troops ns these. We hope our delegation in Congress will support the amendment of Mr. McLane, and thnt the hill will be so adjusted as to embrace all who have faithfully served their country, whatever the term c£ their ser vice. The Government is abundantly able to reward her citizen soldiery, and while Congress is proposing to give liberal donations of the public domain to for eigners, we hope they will not overlook the claims oi those by whose blood and vulor it has been acquired and defended. — — — — Colllsons at Sea. -= Mr. John A.

The Indians say positively that they will net ! leave the country, and, it is no use trying to persuade ! them. Arrival of tlic Hibernia. The New York evening papers of Friday, received last night, mention tile non-arrival of the Cambria, but givo us the news received by tho Hibernia in tlieir evening editions. The cotton accounts are the same as those given in our despatch In yesterday’s News. The Pacific had arrived at Liverpool after a passage of thirteen days. The news from Cuba has strengthened prices in Su gar materially. Tho value of all colonial produce was favorably affected on the receipt of the news of the invasion of Cuba. Rice—no sules oi Carolina. Turpentine—Large arrivals had caused prices to re cede. Sales reported at 6s. Tar—560 bbls at 9s. Rosin—400 bbls. at 2s. 8d. a 2s. 9d. Spirits Turpentine.—Unchanged.

Consols closed on Fri- _day nt 961 for money and 965 fornccount. In Foreign Stock there is no material change to notice. Slip* A telegraphic dispatch to the New York Tribune, says: The Intelligencer copies the dispatch from New Orlciins, relative to the Convention at Santa Fe, and snys that, if such a movement lias taken place in New Mexico, it must hnvo been the impulse of tlio people themselves which set it afloat. This, you will perceive, is u virtual denial of any interference on tho part of the Executive. Willis nml the Knocking*. Mr. Willis, in u late article in his Home Journal on the subject of the Rochester Knockings, now ex hibiting in Now York, expresses himself not exactly satisfied in regard to their genuineness. He is, how ever, thoroughly convinced in reenrd to Forrest’s Knockings, of the substantial reality of which he is willing to make oath. By the hy, wo see it stRted in the New York gapers that Willis hus commenced a civil suit, against Forrest, in (which ho lays his damages at $10,000. A writer in tlio Evening Mirror says: “Probably this is the course that Forrest himself would have chosen; for, he must necessarily have been cast in a criminal prosecution, and have been punished more or less"for the law he violated ; where as, in the civil suit, he can show up his alleged domes tic grievances, in mitigation of damages, and thus, besides, accomplish what he professes (or his friends, for him, profess) to desire, viz: the legal proof of his charges againBt his wife. Itispleusant to contemplate Willis’s consistency in claiming damages. A year ago, ho was loud mouthed, abusive, and declamutory, against Macready and Macready's friends: and he carried it so far as justify, in his paper, the mob law of his (then) Mag nus Apollo. But ho does not relish, it seems, the same law, at the same hands, when applied to his own back." We well remember the interference of Willis in tho Macready affair, and that tho inflamed state of public opinion in New York wns instigated in n great degree hy bis articles. We do not approve club law under uny circumstances, though there are cases in which corporal chastisement is almost excusable. We know nothing of tho merits of this Foriiest and Willis ease—but from our general knowledge of tho parties concerned, we^should judge it to lien shabby piece of business, in which very little character is involved on cither side. We frequently see allusions made to this case by way of illustrating tlic moral tone of fashionable society in New York. This is unjust, for with all its follies, what is culled fashionable society ill tl-.at city, holds itself a little ubove the level of the green room amj " fancy" clique to which tlic parties involved in this affair belong. Steech Of Gen. Lopez. Tho New Orleans Del ta gives the following translation of Gen. Lopez's speech in that city, after ho had been released on bail, to the enthusiastic assemblage that greeted him at the St.. Charles Hotel. It is, pretty und off-hand; Gentlemen:—loan find no suitable expression to convey to you the gratitude of my heart for the^e demonstrations of your kindness and sympathy.— They are particularly welcome at this moment, when my motives nnd conduct aro traduced, ami my acts subjected to a criminal prosecution. Of this, how ever, Ido not complain: he who would deserve tho emiles of fortune, must know how to bear her capri ces. I am prepared for either. Gentlemen, whatever may be tlic short sighted cal culations of a shallow and selfish policy, based upon mere expediency and disregarding.the* best, and ho liest feelings of our nature, the hearts and arms of a generous and noble people cannot lie mndeindilfercnt to the sacred cause of freedom and humanity. There is a law within us—a law which you have this day made manifest—which proclaims and enforces tho duty oi mutual assistance and love among all men, by 'whatever national designation they may bn known. My offence is, that I have sought the benetils ol tlmt law—of that common bond of humanity—foroppres- cd Cuba. 1 am conscious of noun othor. If for ibis Death of Col. Dupree.—We learn from the officers of the steam bontNateh.cz that a report was in circula tion nt Vicksburg, Mi6s., that Col. Dupree, a well known . gentleman, was recently killed by his son-in- law, in Hinds county, Miss. We have no further par ticulars of this sod event. Col. Dupree formerly re sided in this state. Since writing the above we have conversed with n gentleman from VickBburg, Miss., who gave us the following particulars: Col. Dupree and his soil-in-law, Mr. Graves, have for some time past hnd a difference. On Saturday, the 8th inst., they met at a church nenr Brownsville, Hinds' county. Graves left the church, but was soon followed by Dupree, who approached him and ask ed If Graves wns armed. Graves, hoping to prevent any difficulty, suid that he was not. Dupree then pull ed Graves from his horse, and cut him several times with a knife, when Graves pulled a pistol from his pocket nnd shot the Colonel through the body. Col. Dupree, mounted Ills horse ami rode several miles home, but died about two hours after having recei ved tlio wound, it is a most mclnurhnly affair. [ .V. O. Picayune. Storm in New York—Loss of Life.—A torna do passed over tho city of New York on Thursday night but, accompanied by lightning and hail.—Trees wore uprooted, the dome window of Stewart's store on Broadway was broken, aud many of the tele graphic posts were blown down. Tlio masts of a vessel in the harbor wore carried away, and several boats upset, one containing three boys, all of whom were drowned. The walls of several houses were blown down, and a house was struck by lightning. The steamer Knickerbocker, on her pnssuge up the Hudson, was driven on tho locks in Hell Gate. Tho passengers were all taken otf and brought to tlio cityi and it is expected that the boat will be got oil. Disaster of the Griffiths The Northern papers continue to give painful de- tails of the late shocking disaster on Lake Erie, by. which some 250 souls perished within afew rods of the shore. The steamer Griffith was about three miles from shore when the fire wns discovered. She was immediately headed for the land, and ran until she grounded upon a bar—about twenty rods from tho shore, between which and the shore there was deep water. The disaster was about 20 miles east of Cleveland, nearly oft Chagrin. A passenger who escaped snys : The passengers were thick around the boat, and great mnily thnt could not swin weald hold on to oth ers and drown them ns w J1 as themselves. It was a sorrowful and heart-rending scene : the manner iu which I got out of their way was by jumping about 20 feet into the water, and took directly out into the luke und then swam up a little distanco to get out of the rcneli of others and to prevent them pulling me down. I then swam for tlic shore. There were ti out 5000 people on shore when I reached it, from Cleve land, Willoughby, Paiusville and Frankfort. Only two females were saved. These fortunately secured a settee and were taken out of danger by a waiter, who was himself saved. Capt. Roby, we are told, threw his wife and child aud wife’s mother overbunrd, and jumped into the water himself, which wus the last that was seen of them alive. The steward was found grasping in his baud Captain Roby’s chll* whom he endeavored to save, nnd, wus supposed, lost his life te consequence. There were ubout forty cabin passengers, only sev en of whom were saved ; there were from two hun dred and fifty to three hundred deck passengers, mostly German, nnd only about thirty in nil saved. The fire wns discovered about half-past three in the morning, ubove ®o smoke pipes. The crew endec- vored to extinguish it without alarming the pnseen-: gers, but tho flames spread so rapidly thnt the cry] was sod'll raised, “ save yourselves 1” The hurricane deck was literally packed with emi grants sleeping, mid when the fire wns annouccedl us beyond control the utmost confusion nail terror prevailed; tho boat was immediately headed toward land and grounded some 20 yards from shore. Its said one man was hooked up from the bottomof] the lake, with au infant child clasped tightly in Ms| arms. A group of five or six emigrants, men, women and children, were found with their arms close J locked together, evidently having left the boat an sunk in that condition.
