The beatific elate of the atmosphere ut present, ren
ders the UotiiunlituB quite contented and lmppy,despite
tint dust, tilth mid decayed garbage with wliieli our
streets ubound, to tlio disgrace ol' the constituted
authorities, Who apparently trust in providence to
perform the work so shamefully neglected by them.
As 1 Wus Buying, though every body seems to he con
tented, and departures to watering places have been
postponed,so thut upper-ten dency may enjoy the Hu
guenots, ere Fashion issues her tiutugainst city enjoy
ments, and they are left to the canaille and tlio can't
get-aways, whom Fushion dues not trouble herself
about. There was uu immence audience at the As-
tor Place on Monday nightj and a more striking coup-
ihc.il than wus presented,looking from the lirst scat in
the parquette, 1 have rai'ely witnessed, i’ailex, how
ever, the manager of this compuny, is ucting witli bad
judgement, and by his conduct is disgusting the re
spectable portion of tlie press, which now scarcely
notice the Opera-, ho seems to huvo devoted himself
exclusively to Bennett,of the Iloruld, whom he toad
ies ad nauseam, and treats with positive discourtesy
tlie rest of tlio editors. Their marked silence is the
best kind of retaliation, and will not bo without its ef
fect. 1 begin to think thut the New-Yorlt editors are
“some puukins," and l like to see them standing up
ih defence of their dignity and their rights.
A political maumuvro on the part of tlie majority of
the Common Council lias, 1 cm glad to say, been du-
tented. The Com. of Jurors wus a Democrat—the
majority ol the Board ol Supervisors, without the
Judges of Common Pleas,Wings, uud the Hoard anil
J udgoa had the appointing power—so it wus arranged
that lae Don jurat s loulii go| out, and a Whig ho up-*
pointed. The Board met, hut tlie Judges would not
attend, so they made the removal and appointment
without them, mid Mr. Walker was told to walk out.
Bui lie declined to comply witli so unreasonable a
request, and contended lliut his removal was illegal.
A motion wus then made to tho court to compel him
to deliver over his hooks and papers, but tho court
deny it, hecuuse the cose is duubttul—so Mr. Walker
holds over, and tlie wliigs arc chop-iallen. This is
tho result of neglecting that excellent advice, “be
sure you uro right, then go aheud.”
Tlio foreign news coi.ius upon us quickly just now;
wo have barely time to read tho papers by one urrivul,
before a fresh batch arrives. The latest news received
tu duy is not important in itselt, though it points to
something in tho future t.mtinay prove so. Napoleon.it
seems, has overreached himself in obtaining tlie pas
sage of tlie Electoral law, modifying that of tlie 15th
March, IBB). lie did not intend, it seems,that it should
apply to tho election for President, but so it is, and so
it mustremuin. Tho new law will greutly reduce
tho number of votes which is supposed to lie r.nfavo
rnble to tho re-election of Napoleon, who of course
calculates on tho re-nomination, provided he does not
succeed in being Emperor before that time. There
will bo u change in the English cabinet beforo a very
long time—“coming events oust their shadow before."
Tho $6000 appropriated by tile Common Council
for tho New York Volunteers, is being distributed-
to-day. This sum was originally appropriated lor tho
regiment, when it was raised, us u loon to assist in
fitting it out, and refunded by the Col. on his return
from Mexico. Every man who fought in tho Mexican
battles received $25; but those [tour fellows, who
went out willing to fight, but hud no opportunity of
doing so, got nothing, although so many of them have
returned ruined in health. This is baldly fair, in
deed it seems to be very linjust.
Forrest is out with a card this morning In a Phila
delphia paper I see, in which he asserts thnt wha.
ho struck Willis, ho was face to face with him, and
knocked him down with his hand alone. It is, how-
evor, a charity to think that ho hardly knew what he
did at tho time or^how he did it. Tho disgrace of the
act cannot bo wiped off, even were this fact proved. .
A tailor named Buglo, liviVig in Eldridgc St. cut his
throat this morning, while lire wife was getting break
fast. Ho appeared to bo quite rational when ho rose,
and must have become suddrtaly insane.
A l'umily in 37th st. namotl Dalton are in great dia
troas, in consequence of the abduction last evening
of their little daughter; •Ivho while playing in the
street, was carried off by some woman; her compan
ions were so frightened ‘that they could, not raise tlie

Tho Pacific has now been out seven days, and
many think she wifi hr rive to-morrow. She may and
again she may not, and I think the latter snore prob
able. If she makes tho voyage in 9 days, it will bo
good work.
Tho “spiritual knockers" are very indignant with
some members of tlie press, who have called to des
ignate them as "htirtibugs,” mid I supposo they will
not ratfelve the privilege at the “free list” any lon
ger. For euy own part I Have no doubt about the
humbug, for it is a vory clear one ; every ono must
admit this. The dollars still flow in, however, hum-
bug or so humbug. Talking of humbugs I may say,

in Cuban affairs, is Buid to be here in connection witli
that purchase. Ha seems, and in fact claims to bo up

The fate of tlio compromise bill will now be deci
ded. It will soon be determined whether there can
be any adjustment at all. Very deep anxiety prevails
on tlio subject. Whatever lie the decision ot the
Senate on the bill, the vote will bo a close one. It is
idle to claim a majority of six, now that so many
Southern Senators have taken their stand on tlie Miss
ouri compromise line, und with an explicit declara
tion of the rights to be exercised oft'each side. It
is even possible that the votes, it taken in the absence
of Mr. Borland and Mr. Bradbury, Sebastian and
Mangum, there may be a tie vote—27 to 27. Tho

ExlTIIAORDINAUY CURE BY CLAIRVOYANCE

Inquirer, of Wednesday, relates tlie following:

A young mtui was killed in Baltimore n few
days since by a party of negroes who had been en
gaged in a fight with some white boys. A white boy

A fish of the Mackcral tribe, about eight leet

dred pounds, was captured recently at Hamilton,
Bermuda, by a woman. It appears thefish got entan

trying to get into deep water ran itself partly on tho
shore, when tlie woman rail into the water, caught
tlie fish by the tail, and pulled it out on dry land.
“Unaccountable noises and Disturbances in
a West India Island.”—Under this taking head,
tlie N. Y. Tribune has a long communication from
a gentleman just returned lrom St. Bartholomew’s,
W. I. professing to disclose the particulars of what
looks like a counterpart of tlie Rochester Rappings.
As tho story goes, somo six months since (which by
the by, is about the time of tlm commencement of
tlie knockings nt Rochester) a family of tho name of
Simmons, living ot Gustavia, began to be very serious
ly annoyed by disturbances takiug place in their dwel
ling, at various hours of the day, as well as tlio night,
some of which were of a truly frightful nature. They
consisted principally of the throwing of stones about
the house, tho sudden removal und change of posi
tion ot articles of furniture, the infliction of Mows up
on members of the family by unseen hands, and a
nriety of strange and funtastic doings, some of which
would have seemed ludicrous, if it had not been thut
tlio utterly unaccountable manner in which they
were performed, by suggesting the idea of diubolicul
or supernatund ogeney. of some sort, gave them a
fearful and terrible character.
The Tribune’s correspondent proceeds with this
wonderful narration, in this wise;
Mr. Simmons was one day seized, while in one of
the rooms of the dwelling, and thrown with great vi
olence upon the floor, by some unseen power. He
was so shocked and overcome, rather with horror at
the mysterious nature of the shock than from the
physical injury Which he received, thnt ho immedi
ately fainted When partially recovered, one of tlio
family offered him a glass of water, which, at tho ve-
y moment when it was rais' d to his lips was dashed
in pieces by a stone thrown from the opposite quar
ter of tlie room without any visible agency, but which
inflicted no other or further injury.” _
Doings like these, of course, created an immense
excitement among the inhabitants of the Island-
People not only from Gustavia, but from all parts of
llie Island, now began to visit the scene of these re-
markable manifestations, attracted by curiosity and
tho lovo of the marvellous. The house is rather a
large one, and tho principal scenes of the disturb-
ances ure two largo rooms, communicating by a wide
door, in the manner of folding doors. Tho New-
York Express remarks, the wholo story, as it is com
municated to tho Tribune over the initials J. F. B., is
exceedingly fishy, and smacks just as if it had been
gotten up to revive the excitement which the Ham-
mcring Humbug at Bamum’s, has ceased to provoke
in that city.
rqjp For some time pust a party ot town negroes
have made it a practice to visit tho market particular
ly on .Saturday evening, to impose on tlio negroes
who visit the city from tho country, for the purpose
of disposing of their produce. Ono of the gang was
caught athis vocation on Saturday lust, and received
proper punishment yesterday. Some of tlieso fcl
lows have become remarkably impudent, and require
to bo looked after.

Liverpool, June 14,1850.
Our cotton market since sailing ot last mnil steam
cr has been in u quiescent state; the previous rather
extensive operations of spinners having placed them
in stock fora while, their purchases have been rather
limited; nor has the speculative demand been sufii-
cient in extent to support tlie market. Exporters,liow.
over, have bought rather freely. 1 he total sales ot
the week, (exclusiveof 4000 to-day.) amount to gj,.3.i0
bales, of which the trade huve taken iff,840, specula
tors 3,920 und exporters 4,790 bales.

and as soon as it was sold, it fell under the municipal
sovereignty whose it was, with certain exceptions as
to taxiin' power. Tho unanimous decisioti of the
Supreme Court was thutthe compacts with the States
reserving tlie title of the United States to tho lands
were useless, and thut tho title of the U. States was
good without them. They had been omitted in re-
gard to many States. Ho hoped tho honorable mem-
fier from Louisiana* would look to the laws and
judicature of the country, and review his opinion
He appealed to tlie honorable gentleman to aid in the
work of admitting California.
To the other objections ot Mr. Soule, Mr. Web
ster replied, and especially to those relative to the
boundaries of California. A better boundary, he
showed, could not Ce found than that which Califor
nia had taken.
Mr. Foote sjioke with a view to explain his posi
tion, inasmuch as the vote was to -he taken to-day.
He explained the reasons why he should vote for tlie
Missouri compromise ns involved in this amendment,
though he wus confident that the amendment would
not meet the sanction of a majority of this body or
the other House.
Mr. Bart well rose andexpressed some reluctance to
engnge in debate, huving long been out ot practice
in ° public assemblies, and feeling under embarrass,
ment in succeeding so distinguished a Senator as his
predecessor. It whs impossibloffor any one associa
ting with that Senator (Mr. Calhoun) to avoid the m-
fluence of liis opinions in many respects. His posi
tion us to tho Missouri compromise was, he presum-
ed, the grime us his own. lie clnimcd tor tlie South
equality of rights. To their intellectual und moral
excellence he might appeal as being such as warran
ted no exclusion of them from a participation in the
common privileges of all the States.
He went on to recite the miseries which the South
had endured from the Northern people—not fanatics,
but celebrated and intelligent men—members or Con
gress. The territorial questions were only indica
tions of this disease, so deeply rooted. He argued
that slaves were property, aud had been claimed as
such by this government—referring to some of Air.
Clay’s State papers. He was not us well acquainted
with the current history of the question as others
were, but he would review the grounds taken by the
North on the territorial questions, and sec what right
they have to say slaves, as property, should not be
admitted in any territory of the United States, as well
as any other species of property.
Ilo declared, in conclusion, that the South would as
sent to the Missouri comp/omise, as a recognition
of the equal rights of the South, but they would de-
that nf the. line slavery should be protec-

learns from a private letter from Tallahassee thut on
the 7th ult., tlie citizens uf that place were in a state
of considerable excitement, on account of a sort of
gro insurrection in the neighborhood. A number
of negroes, with arms and ammunition, were encamp.
edin the woods near by. The people were pursu
ing them; two or three had been shot, and several
captured. It was not looked upon as a very formi
dable movement, and tlio probability was thnt it
would bo soon put down.
Another Cura Expedition.—A New Orleans
correspondent of the Norfolk Beacon, Buys he has ren-
son to believe, from what ho has heard, that a second
expedition against Cuba is in contemplation. lie says
further, that it “will be composed of material whidi
will fully test the practicability of tlie whole thing-
If it is organised and once lands on the enemy’s
shores, its motto will be success or extermination, as
Cortez-like, it will burn thq transports aud render
retreat entirely out ofthc question.”
Move-
maud that south of the line slavery should be protec
ted.
Mr. Foote commented on the expediency of asking
legislative protection for slavery
Mr. Butler explained Mr. Calhoun’s doctrines ns to
non-intervention. Ilia wish was thnt the people should
form their constitution without any dictation as to
tlie Missouri compromise. Mr. Calhoun was, before
California assumed, hor position, willing that the Mis-
souri line should Be drawn by those whose doctrines
would allow them to vote for it, though I10 did not
vote for it himself.
Mr. Jefferson Davis rose and addressed the Senate
declaring that from the moment when he ascertained
that the amendments he desired to the bill could no
be obtained, be determined to say nomoro till the bill
readied its final stage. He proceeded to vindicate his
position in regnrtf to this bill, this nlimatum which he
had announced before his constituents and which tho
Nashville Convention ^iad sanctioned.
Mr. Davis alleged that, from the beginning of tho
session, the country had been filled with missives
abusive of Senators and of ail who eoifltained tho
rights of the South; newspapers wero employed and
the more base intruments of letter-writers, to brand
every Southern man ns a disunionist, who opposed
the compromise. One letter-writer, he said, the bas
est Hessian of them all, was now receiving pay, to
traduce him aud other Southern men, as disun
ionists. If any rcspectatde person would say that
he was a disunionist, he would answer him in mo
nosyllnbles. lie had a superstitious reverence for the
Union.
Mr. Foote replied.
Mr. Davis again took the floor, but gave way to a
motion to adjourn, and tlie Senate adjourned.
Huusc of Representatives.—The house, immediately
alter the rending of the journal, reaumed.the consid
eration of tho Iowa contested election case. The
matter was further discussed by Messrs. McGaughey,
Thompson of Iowa, Harris of Tennessee, Lcffior of
Iowa, Evans of Md., and Ash.
The Speaker laid before the House tlie invitation of
the Malingers of tho Washiugion Monument Society,
to tlie House of Representatives, to attend the celebra
tion on tho 4th of July next.
Mr. Stanton, of Tenii., moved thnt tho invitation
be uccopted. It was so entered on tlio journal.
The House then, ut 3 j o’clock, adjourned.
Washington’s F’ibst Battle Ground.-
inents are making in Western Pennsylvania to erect a
monument to the memory of Wushingtuii ut I 1 ort No.
ecssity, Fayette county, familiarly known as Wash
ington's first battle ground.
A New Enterprise.—The Louisville Democrat
states that n party of Germans have erected in Stu-
benville, Ohio, an establishment for the manufacture
of Soda Ash mid Chloride of Lime. It is tlio ouly
ono of the kind in the United States, and it is estima
ted that during tho first year it will produce between
@40,000 and $50,000 worth ,bf Soda Ash, mid nearly
$20,000 in value of Chloride of Lime. It is supposed
that the amount of manufacture can be doubled the so-
cond year.
Ancient Relics.—An antiquarian discovery of an
interesting nature has just been made near Teplitz in
Bohemia. Borne twelve icct below tho surface ot the
earth, a tomb, with six bodies in it, was iound. It
contained, besides a gold chain, about a yard and
a half long, three earrings, two gold balls of the
size of a walnut, a gold medallion with a cameo rep.

Tlie New French Electoral Law.
The French Monarchical party, by whom the con
stitution lms been set at defiance in the adoption of
mi electoral law,which excludes upwards of 3,000,000
Frenchmen from tho privilege of voting, justify the
act by declaring that none but those who havo mi
interest in the true government of the nation should
be allowed a controlling voice, and that by depriving
the idle floating population of all power die republic
is fortified against sudden chmigcs. The Reaction,
ists, suys tlio Pal is correspondent of the N. Y. Tri
bune, are terrible on idle people. Work, work, they
say. Accordingly, as a means of keeping the people
nt work, they sustain the conscription of the Army,
which causes the strongest youths of France to lose 7
years of the flo wer of their life in shouldering mus
kets and burning powder. Tlie hard work which
tlie Duchess of Orleans does entitles her to a pension
of 300;000E a year. The sweat of tho Orleans family
generally is so great that it produces an interest on
150,000,UU0 francs. Tho now bill therefore is direct
ed ugainst idle vagabonds, and in order that it may
have full ctfcct, it requires each voter to remain three
years domiciliated in one place. It takes away tlie
right of voting, for a term of 10 years, lrom all per-
eons convicted of political ott'enccs—nay more who-
ever sells a Democratic ncwspuperin thu streets loses
his right to vote. ^
