Washington, Juno 21. The Senate was not hi session on Friday. House of Representatives.—The House, at nil early hour, resumed the consideration ot the bounty land bill. After uumerouq propositions to amend, find consi derable discussion on the amendment proposed by Mr. Hubbard to the original l>ill—which amendment granted bounty to those only who were in service two, months or over—Mr. Mcl.nne, ol Maryland, propos ed a substitute, which was adopted by the Committee, granting bounty to all persons—militiamen und vol unteers, nud regulars,'who were in service in till the Wars in which the United States have been engaged, witimut,regard to the period ot service. The bill pro vides that those who served for a less period than six months shall he entitled to 40 acres. Mr. McLane made some remarks, showing that unless the sulvstitute was adopted, instead of tho a- meudment'df the gentleman from Alabama, (Mr. Hubbard,) from all, greater portion of those who fought at New Orleans and Baltimore would be entirely ex cluded from ell bounty, lie expressed the hope tlmt those who were uctually in battle, as in those two cases, should be provided for, although they might not have luin idly iu camp for ti months. Alter Mr. Mol.uiie's amendment was adopted, Mr. Blanton, of Teun., proposed an amendment to in clude the olllccrs and - seamen who were engaged in tiie Mexican war, both' on tlio Pacific and Gulf equal, allowing them the same bounty and extra pay ns had ■been provided by tlio several acta for ollicors and •soldiers in tho army. This amendment was adopted —ayes 81, nays 4S8. Mr. Evans, of Md., introduced an amendment pro viding that no bounty should ho granted under this act, until die debts incurred during tile war of the Revolution, duo to the soldiers thereof, shall bo paid out of the proceeds ot dio sales oi the public lands. Mr. Evauri said that those revolutionary soldiers were paid, off in money tliut heeamo worthless. He thought it was just that those men should be puid be fore giving away ulj dio lands. .Mr, Gorman said that the amendments already adopted had killed the bill-, that it provided for 300,000 troops moro than would liavo been provid ed for by tlio bill fixing die period of servico at six months. , Mr. Evans’amendment was rejected—ayes 71, nays 7SL Mr Vcnablo proposed on amendment, giving the option to those entitled to tho bounty under this bill, to receive scrip bearing 3 per cent, interest—rating the value of tho land at 62* cents per acre. This was voted down—ayes 63, nays 69. The Committee rose Without further action on the bill, and the House adjourned till Monday next, ot 11 o’cloek, to enable the Committee to forward tho large amount of business before them. paratlvely a small offence which had condemned die young man to tho galleys, and that he lmd ulreody served out half his tlrtie, he ordered Ills release.

MAURY, Lieut. IJ. S. N. At* Abolitionist Job.—The following revolting narrative was related recently in the Connecticut Leg islature by the chairmnn of tho committee charged with aii application for divorce : The petitioner was married at the age of 20. She was a respectable andintelligcntyounglady, but owing to some peculiar circumstances, her mind became affected, not to absolute insanity, but she was in a dis tracted state, and in this condition came to New Haven on a visit to her sister. At this time she be came acquainted with her husband, who is a colored man, through the agency of a colored woman, who was employed by her in washing. Her husband had never proposed the match nor had she; but one evening she was invited to the house of her washwomnn ana there found a company assembled, and she was informed that she had been published, and those present had come to see her marriedv She consented, and the ceremony was per formed by a colored clergyman. Her husband then carried he to New York, and placed her among asso ciates that were very disagreeable to her. Ho went to California some months ago but has recently rc- . turned. She has recovered, from her hallucination, and looks upon her husband with disgust and horror. He had received her notice of her application for di vorce but did not appear in opposition. This- beastly negro, it seems, was not permitted, by the white devils who had set him on, to appear and claim hie wife—showing clearly that they wore ac quainted with the condition of the poor victim, who has thus been immolated* while helpless from insani ty, a victim to a negro's lust I Is there no punish ment for sudh demoniac outrages as this? The Trouble with Portugal.' A Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier, furnishes this interesting statement: “Saithe President's first Annual Message to Congress, he waited himself of that opportunity to inform that body, that our relations with Portugal were of so dnlicate a nature, owing to the refusal of that Govern ment to do justiee to American claimants, he might find it necessary to make it a subject of special com- mimicstion to them. Tho energy with which Mr Clay, hie a season, pressed the payment of these in demnities, led to the hope on the part of the Aslniinis- tration, that a speedy and satisfactory adjustment would take place. Those hopes, however, were not realised, and the crisis iias arrived which the Presi dent anticipated at the time he made his first annual communication to Con gress. I learn that tlio Execu tive-Is preparing a special message connected with the cause that has compelled Mr. Clay to demand his passports and leave Lisbon, which in a very few days will be communicated to the Senate. The na ture of tiiat special message cannot be a matter of speculation with any woll informed person. Gen. Taylor has sought justice to American claimants of j tiie.Portusueso Govemnment, in that spirit, of forbear ance and fiberallty for which all his public dealings- with foreign powers are so proverbial. He has ex hausted all the peaceful remedies that lie could em ploy, and ho will now recommeud the enforce ment of our rights in that wav known only to civilized tuitions where difficulties of this nature arise. One or two alternatives will with promptness be presented for the consideration of Portugal; the payment of the indemnities to American claimants, or war, and reprisals, both by ses and land.—For those latter con - , sequences, -the .United States will in no way be re sponsible ; and if Portugal prefer war rather than to bo just sho will have itiie opportunity of making the se lection. Truth Stranger that Fiction. Tho Ifenneyhraniaeorrespondeiit of tho St.Louis Re - publican, May 2d, relates the following occurrence: A young inau recently made bis escape from the galleys at Toulouse. lie was strong and vigorous, and soon made his way across the country and escap ed pursuit. He arrived the next morniug before a cottage iu au open Held, and stopped to beg something to eat and concealment while .he reposed a little. But lie found tile, inmates of tho cottage in the grentest distress. Four little children sat trembling in acorner, their mother weeping and tearing her hair and the father walking the floor in agony. The galley slave asked 1 what was the matter, ana the father replied that they were that morning to be turned out of doors because they could not pay choir rent. "You see me driven to despair," said ilio father, “my wile and lit tle children without food or shelter, and 1 without the means to provide and for them." The convict lis tened to tiiis tale with tears of sympathy, and then said: "I will give you themeans. I have but just escaped from the galleys; whoever secures and takes back mi escaped prisoner is entitled to a reward of- fifty Danes—llow much does your rent amount to 1" "Forty francs," answered the father. "Wett" said the other, “put a cord around mv bo dy, I will follow you to tiie city, they will recognize me, and you will get fifty trancs lor bringing me back.’" "No, never I" exclaimed the astonished listener, “my children should starve a dozen time before I would do so base a thing.” The generous Joung man insisted, and declared at lost tiiat he would go and give himsolf up, if the fa ther. would not consent to take him. After a long struggle the latter yielded, and taking his preserver by the arm, leil him to the city and to the Mayor's office. Everybody was surprised that a little man like tlio father bad been, able to capture such a strong yqjijg, fellow, hut the proof was before them ; the -fifty francs were puid and the prisoner sent hack to the galleys. But after ho was gone, the lather asked m interview of the Mayor, to whom he toldtiie whole story. The Mayor was so much, affected that he uot only added fifty francs more to thefather’s purse, but wrote immediately Jto the minister-of justice, begging tbg noble young prisoner's release. The minister ex itfliiped lute the affair; uud finding tiiat it was cum Northern Capital coming South. East Tennesecee Mining anti Manufacturing Com pany. Mr Kiddie, who has charge tiie Mining de partment of tills Company, has arrived witli all the tiepcssary machinery for commencing mining opera tions. We are informed that he has. already opened two veins of coni nenr tho Buck, some 5 or nix miles from Ibis place ; and it is tho intention of tiie eoni- pnny to erect an extensive Steam Suwrnill, near the Coni Mines.

Slavers Captured. An English paper of a late date pays: li. M. steamship Firefly, arrived at Spithead 30tli May, from her station oil tlio West Coast of Africa. Tiie slave trade continued to flourish in spitp of all the efforts made to put it down. The Firefly hail taken 11 prizes during her time of servico on tiiat const, two of which were full, con taining 980.6lnves; and on the 19th of March, off Am- briz, a large American barque, called the Navarre, from Philadelphia, and hnving a Brazilian crew be low. The Waterwitch had captured a large brig with 800 slaves on board, ort'Bengucla. Tho Rattler had captured a fino brig, with 840, slaves on board, off Benguela. Tiie Pluto had captured a large Ame rican brig, empty, which sho destrpyed. Tho Flying Fish captured a brigantine oft' Kabcnda, which she destroyed. Tho barque Navarre, which is among the captured slavers, formerly belonged to tho port of Philadel phia. Sho was sold some time since at Bahia, where she was no doubt put upon the infamous traffic in which she bus been captured. Correspondence of the IJaltimorc Sun. Washington, June 21, 1850. Old Zack's last stroke of policy has created much admiration and much objurgation. That message about New Mexico came upon Congress like a clap ot thunder in a summer’s day. The thing was done, too, with so much sang froid that it amuses those whom it confounds. Who wrote that message ? I have heard the inquiry often; I think it is Zack's own. What words ot contempt for the pretensions of Texas could equal the simple notice of a certain John 3. Neighbours, styling himself a “ Commission er of Texas ?” Then, after giving what is to be construed into a most inportunt military order-^-the most important that he ever gave in his whole career—after deciding in two words a high political question, which would puzzlo jurists, courts, statesmen, diplomatists, for a year—he quietly winds up by stating that there is no reason to believe tiiat Texas will 11 practically inter fere with the possession of the United States.” This is as much as to say, here is my decree; you know mo and I know you. You will not interfere. The message is an admirable specimen, of Executive or der, wherein arms were to be kept out of, view, until lie force of lay was first tried. Some people think the message is ambiguous. The Union regards it as inconclusive. Certainly they never considered it. in connexion with all the circum stances bearing, or they would not have thought it vague or inconclusive. If the Union will recur to it, it will find tiiat the last sentence conveys a distinct de claration, by implication, that Texas will bo restrain ed from any interference with the possession claim ed and held by,the United States. I think the decision of the President is correct. I am very glad that he has had an opportunity to dis pel the rmst hanging over his policy on this subject. In common with many others, 1 had supposed that he abandoned Mb original policy, in regard to New Mex ico, and that he did not intend to promote or facilitate the creation of a State government within the limits claimed by Texas, and that ho would not suffer any hindrance to be-offered to the proceedings of “ a cer tain JohnS. Neighbors, stylinghimsolfu commissioner of Texas." What grcatJiindrance could he offer than to pro mote the orgiBzation of a State government, among a people disposed to assert their rights, and on ly waiting a civil organization to give effect to their ef forts ? But does the President stop her? Oh, no. The next step will be that Major Monroe, or whoev er may preside in the Convention, will do as General Riley did, in California, resign and hand over to the civil authorities his rule and command. But this is not the stopping point. Next comes the enforccmen t, by the whole exocutivo power, of an executive de cree, that Texas sliull not interfere with tho possess ions of the United States until tiie dispute in question" shall bo settled by “ a competent authority.” I am much mistaken if, after all old Zack is not sometimes the President—aye, every inch tho Pre sident,—nor even here does the President’s decreo stop :—by the giving up the military government to the State government, he does decline, as for as he is concerned, the question in dispute; nud fixed the Southern boundary of New Mexico, where Mexican law fixed it—hyaline crossing the Rio Grande, east and west, one league north of El Passo..

Austin having a mjority of 271votes over all that has voted for it is therefore the place selected by the people for the scat of Government until 1870. RP At the meeting of tho London Institution of Civil Engineers, Inst week, a paper was read on prin ting machines, especially those used by tho Times . The statistics of tiiat gigantic Journal are wonderful.

This, with its advertising in come, which averages we believe over fifteen hun dred dollars per day, renders the Times establishment one of pretty extensive business. The Times is op posed to a removul of tho stamp duty, as indeed are most of the English newspapers now in existence. A Righteous Decision.—A suit was brought in one ol tlio Louisville courts recently, to attach a sum of money in the hands of tho treasurer of an Odd Fel low's Lodge, of which complainant was a member. The money had been appropriated by tho Lodge to defray the funeral expenses of the wife of one of the members. The Judge remarked, that it would out rage every principle of propriety and humanity fora chancellor to attach this charitable appropriation of the funds of n benevolent society, und tiiat he pay tile defendant’s costs therein expended.

Wo regret to observe tiiat our neighbors of the Georgian are getting envious of our prosperity, and tiiat they are taking it to heart that we have left them for our new quarters. We hope that they will he able to call sufficient philosophy to their aid to enable them to survive tho separation. They should not allow jeulousy to disturb the calmness of theirslum- bqrs, or to sour llwir amiable tempers. That they liuve not got tlio largest city circulation is no fault of ours, hut of tlio public, who fail to discern and appre ciate their merits. in charity rather than anger, we counsel them to keep cool, and to remember tiiat as the battle is not ulwiiys with tne strong, neither is popularity always with tlio large. In newspapers us in every tiling else, people like to get tiie worth of their money, and would rutherhave a little even of a poor tiling ut ufuir price, than more of a worse arti cle at a higher cost. By the way, we felt slighted ut not receiving n copy of the new paper which had called forth such liber al cummciuiaiiuiis from our cotemporuries.

A few days since tne proprietor of the Aulientin Iron Works, near Shrc-psburg, Md., having become involved iu his contracts, wns about to execute a mortgage upon tho work’s,in favor of certain Boston creditors. On the strength of the mortgnge, and a confession of judgment, tlio mortgagee, with his attorney, ac companied by the Sheriff, proceeded to the works to make a levy upon tho property, when the hands em ployed, to tho number of some 200 or 300, who it ap pears lmd not been paid off forsome time, rose under great excitement, and with serious threats against the parties, compelled them to desist from their pur pose ; and on their retirement to a house in tiie neighborhood, held them in durance until they tele- raphed from Harper’s Ferry to friends in Baltimore to send up funds to pay them off And in conformi ty with this resolution the parties were actually kept in durance from Wednesday evening until Friday evening,and tlmt with the full knowledge of the Sher iff' of the county. The funds were sent up in accor dance with the demand of the workmen, who were paid off, and tho pnrties released. Speaking of this transaction, the Philadelphia Spir it of the Times says, it is but a recurrence of tiie de vices by which the laborers in iron works are usually cheated out of tho whole, or a large portion of their wages. No sooner does an iron master become in volved, than a mortgage, similar to the above, is trumped up, and ull the effects of the concern are ap propriated to the “ prior claim.” Although the la bors, in tlio nbove instance, may not be legally free from censure, wo arc certain that no one will blame them much for the summary method of asserting and enforcing their just claims. Another Letter from Mr. Webster. The National Intalligencer publishes a three column letter from Daniel Webster to certain friends of his at Ken nebec, Me. It is dated on the 17th inst. In it Mr. Webster retorts severely on his various reviewers, charging some of them with a passion for misrepro" sentation fitting devils. Ho quotes liberally and poin' todly from his speeches, and declares tlmt slavery is just ns likely to bo planted at Mars Hill or on tho White Mountains ns in New Mexico. He indulges a hope, if not a confident assurance, that a settlement of the difficulty will be arrived at. As to the reclamation of iugitives slaves, ho is silent. glgr' It is announced by the French pnpera in the name of Madnmo George Sand, that her life, written by herself, will speedily be issued.

Emigration.—From some unaccountable cause the amount of foreign emigration has experienced within the present month a sudden and unexpected decrease. The total number of passengers arrived at New York for the month of May, (is set down at 42,- 259, which is an decrease of 5000 on that of the same month for 1849. The number of emigrants arrived from the commencement of the present month up to the 39th instant, is only 7,804, not moro than one third the amoriht stated for the hall' month beginning on the 1st and ending on the 15th of May lust, whicu was 21,429.

During the Into professional tour of Anna Bishop through Mexico, that Indy met with many interesting Incidents ol' adventure, some of which were of a char- actor to tost tlio nerve as well ns tho ingenuity of the faircantatrice. Of such is tho following. Iti the interior of Mexico, not far from I,eon, is a section of country infested with banditti, in which it is even ut this dny considered unsafe to travel with out a formidable escort. The route of Madam Annai lay through this district, anil before sotting out on hor journey she was informed of the dangers of the road by friends who assured her that the jewels and money which sho was known to have with hor would be an attractive prize for the Ladrones who were no respecters of persons or sex. The Governor of tho District interested himself so far as to offer her an es cort of cavalry to guard her equipage through the in fested district. But the Mndame, who is something of a heroine withal, thanked his Excellency for his kind ness, assuring him that sho would feel perfectly safe with her private escort, which consisted of ten cava- lieros well mounted and armed, besides her maestro Bociisa, and his Secretary; naively, adding that alie was prepared to aid in case of emergency, with the elegant little revolver which sho carried in herpocket. Remonstrance being in vain, their friends took leave of them with many prayers for their safety, and tho little party sat out upon their journey. Tho roud lend through a rough and hro ken coun try, now winding up tlio sides of craggy hills, and now descending into deep ravines; at times emerging into the open country, affording benutiful and pictur esque views of tho wild scenery, and again plunging into tho dark forests or winding through tho narrow gorges of tho hills. The three first hours of travel had passed without incident or intolTuption, and tho sprightly songstress and the jovial Bochsa had recovered their wonted spir its, hnving come to the conclusion that the fears of their friends had been groundless. Relaxing the wary scrutiny with which they had watched the angles of tho road or peered into the ravines for robbers, they began to indulge freely in conversation and amuse themselves with the incidents and anecdotes of their journey, pausing in their mirth occasionally to note tho rude crosses that rose by the road side to point out tho sceno of some former robbery or murder. These were sufficiently frequent' in their appearanco to admonish our travellers oftho possibility of an at tack ; nevertheless, they wero taken wholly by sur. prize when one of their men who usually served as an avant garde came galloping back to tho carriage with the startling intelligence that a party of six armed horsemen with masked faces wero advancing to meet them, and that no doubt they were robbers. Instantly tlio cavalcade was brought to a halt—the escort formed in close order—swords were drawn, pis tols examined, lances unstrapped, and each man pre pared to make a desperate defence. Soon tho tramp of horses' foot was heard clat tering upon tho flinty road, and in the next moment the horsemen appeared in a curve of tiie roud, only a few yards from our travellers. On observing the preparation that had been made to receive them, they suddenly reined up their horses, and stood for a few moments in rapid consultation, Presently, one who seemed to bo the principal man ol the band, waiving his hand as a sign of parley, ad- vanccdto the side of the carriage. Ashe leaned for ward he met the bright sparkling eyes of Madnmo An na, hor face beaming the while withanimation and ex citement, while her trembling little hand grasped the jewelled weapon in her pocket. Tlio cavalier, with a graceful obeisance that would have done honor to the Castilian of better days, aiked if she was not la grande cantatrice, Anna Bishop. “Si, Scnor," replied the lady, in her musical tones. "Muybien!" replied tho stranger, adding that as himself and friends had not been so fortunate as to hftve the privilege of hearing her at Leon, they had come all the way for tho purpose of having that honor. “Will you not, Madame, do us the favor to sing for us “La Fattadita." “Here?” enquired the autontished Anna. “Here,' 1 replied the speaker, “if tho Madame will ex cuse us and grantour request.” “But,” said the songstress, confused by tho sft-ange request of the unknown, “I have no accompaniment.” “El gordo caballero, next to you," replied the masked dilettanti, will uot refuge “por cicrto” to ac company you on his celebre Arpa." While speaking tho stranger was playing grace fully with the two handsome pistols In his girdle, a circumstance that did not escape tho attention of the distinguislfed individual to whom he alluded. There was an exchange of glancos between Anna and her maestro. No further objection was urged, hut with a well assumed smile she directed tho Harp to be brought from its plow) on the top of the car riage. Bochsa, seating himself on a stone which supported one of therondsido crosses, performed thd accompaniment as only he can perform it, while the Prima Donna, from her carriage, sang in hor own en chanting style, “ La Paeadita. ” The dilettanti were enraptured, enclmDted, exclaim ing “ muy bien ! brava! muciio talento !" and alter many thanks, compliments and bows, mounted their horses, and da«hing off at full speed, were soon out of sight, to the great relief of tho artistes. On arriving in the evening at Celcila, the musical party learned that tho diligence had been robbed that very morning: and that in the encountre which took place with the robbers seveval of the passengers had been wounded. From tiie description given of the party who attacked the diligence,there was no doubtin the minds of our travellers that they were tiie identi cal band who robbed Anna Bishop of “La Paso- dita." How lucky for her that she had a voice to charm. The Coast Survey. Professor Bacho hus visited parts of the coast of fifteen of the nineteen States on the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, and has obtain ed a more or leas minute acquaintance with the character of most of the other parts of tho coast, though the operations of the survey, and tho re ports of the assistants. In nearly the whole extent “the facilities for the application of the geodetic method are remarkable." Tho magnetic telegraph has given new precision to this kind of survey just in the point in which it was least strong, and hus rendered the measurement of an arc of tile parallel, an operation of the same kind with tho measurement of an are of tho meridian. The triangulation ex tends unbroken from Maine to Virginia; has boon commenced in North and South Carolina, and in Florida; is completed in Alabama and M'sslsgippl, and commenced in Louisiana and Texas. The pro fessor says that tho plan of commencing the sur veys in different sections, resting each one upon a carefully measured, base, and extending the tri angles from these bases until they meet, appears to he ;enerally approved by those- who have examin ed it “It is not too much to say, that no part of the coast has been explored without important developments being made. Sometimes this is the result, no doubt, of the changes it is not less important to know, to watch and perhaps to control, than to have certain knowledge in regard to the permanent parts- Of course the correct delineation of land and represen tation of the depth of water, the information in re gard to tides, buoys, currents, light houses, &e., con stitute the moBt important result of the survey, and if not a singlo channel, shoal or rock remained to bo discovered the positions of the known should be correctly represented. Sixteen distinct discoveries of note were enumerated in a report sent by mo to tho Treasury Department in February, 1849; these were besides the discoveries of the ringlo rock, and the first sounding out of channels or shonls. toy ortant changes in the business relations of Mobile have resulted from tho discovery of a channel, of twenty-one feet in depth, into the bay; made three years since: The past year has added the discovery of foiir shoals in the main ship channel over the Nan tucket 6houls, the determination of the position ol °Mho'« ledge on the coastVf NrT coniiolssaiico of Hatteras cove " plnn d. ti»l harbors of refuge within a lnla? ly known to two pilots, were not wh , ic h it' W i’l navigutora.

Dot ew <*d BP English abolitionists, says a Washington lelw writer, it is said, are intriguing for tho purpose of n mg tho blacks to conquer the Spanish Domini™?' and that they will then buy Cuba from Sn„ra A make a black empire, by abolishing slavery. Another idea is that Spain will take part witli « Dominicans und conquer Faustin 1st, and brinv? Domingo under the Spanish Captain-Generalship Cuba. Another plan is for adventurers from the ili ted States to aid tho Dominicans, expel or subject th blacks, divide the land among them, and then PronZ annexation to the United States, or unite with Cuba and declare and establish their indepcndance. A Compliment—Mrs. Lawrence. Tho N™ York Herald of the 0th inst places the follow? construction upon tlio idle story Hint Sallio Ward attended a soiree at Hon. Abbott Lawrence's iuacali co dress. It is certainly au original idoa, and Bennett deserves the credit of it. “ This was carry ing the western country slmplici- ty to n nice point but in some nations it would considered a high compliment to tho Lawrence fami ly—they having arisen from obscurity through si®, pic calico and slave-grown cotton. Our fathers in the revolution wore American homespun f or example, sake, and Mfs. Lawrence might have kept the Lo' well operatives in full Working hours to this day had she been permited peaceably to establish a fashion that would mako a new tariff wholly useless, 55P The Intelligencer, according to the corres- pondent of the New York Tribune, virtually denies any connection of the administration with the lato movement in New Mexico. Tho Newark Advertiser jhinks differently. That paners says : Tho proclamation of Cot. Munroe calling on the people ol' New Mexico, to form a State Constitation, shows, there is a gentleman sitting at the centre of the Union with bis eyes open, and turned towards its almost limitless circumference. His opportunities for observation, It must be by all conceded, are uot surpassed by any; his good intentions, froln all that has yet appeared, are equal to his powors.
