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.

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.

ExlTIIAORDINAUY CURE BY CLAIRVOYANCE The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, of Wednesday, relates tlie following: ••A sick lady, with whom 1 liuve been acquainted for a number of years, wus yesterday miraculously 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 by tho name of Henry Thorn, was shot in Wash ington City on Thursday by a negro. The boy explr ed in a fow minutos. A fish of the Mackcral tribe, about eight leet in length, and weighing between two and three hun dred pounds, was captured recently at Hamilton, Bermuda, by a woman. It appears thefish got entan gled among somo sand banks, near the shore, and in 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.

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- SPECiAL NOTICES?

An Insurrection, j— The Philadelphia Inquirer 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.

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.

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. ^ aanamasi " t o norts »* thro' the Gulf Stream on t .eir P“ 6 ““S the ir guard.
