Fashions change, und Time keeps gleanin,
From the future, things for now.
Gala and fellers write their meanin'
In the papers, with a vow ;
Advertise for wives, and tell ’em
What sort of qualities will do,
And talk as slick as slippery elm,
But wont tell where they are, nor who.
Pleased at this, with joy extensive,.
The gals, to bring the thing about,
They tell the street in which they live,
And, funnier, leave the Ko. out,
But such a wa os this for courtin’
Won’t last very long, I guess;
Thie'keepln’ Back and kind o’ sportiu’
Will try their patience more or lees.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, June 28th, 1850.
Much anxiety prevails here as to the result ol' the
final vote in the Senate on the adjustment bill. I
learn that the bill is losing strength daily in tho House
of Representatives. It will be past praying for, be
fore it reaches that body. Tho Southern members
who were, at one time, very favorable to it, ore now
hostile to its passage, it is notgaining in the North.
Thfe tariff men were relied upon to come to the roB.
cue, but they will not do it, unless the omnibus vvil]
take the iron, cotton and wollcn interests ns passeu.
gers. *
The great battle is to commence in the House next
week. The plan of the campaign is to be agreed on
to-night, and the geucrui order will lie issued on Mon
day next. Notices were posted in the hall of Repre
sentatives to-day as follows: “Members of tlm House
of Representatives, favorable to tho immediate ad-
mission of California, separated from all other ques
tions, will meet in this hail this evening at 8 o’clock.”
It appears from anoticc in the Union that the Hon Mr.
Doty leads the movement. The object of the meet
ing will bo to take measures for passing his California
bill next week or sooner.
Mr. Clay alsojsmnmoned his forces to-day, but
they were rather slow to arm. He was desirous of
getting tho vote on engrossment of the adjustment
bill on Wednesday. But to say nothing of others.
Mr.Bell wished to speak at length, and I will allow two
days at least. More amendments aro also to be
discussed. Tho strong vote against Mr. Soule’s a-
mettdmcut indicates nothing. Of the 3(i against
tlie amendment, 19 are opposed to tho bill. The ab
sentees were Messrs Borland, Bradbury, Dodge, of
Iowa, Spruanee, Mangum: two for the bill, two
against it, and Mr. Spruanee doubtful. If wo cun
count with certainty on twenty-eight for the bill, it is
as much ns we can do. and the result will be in doubt.
The speeches against the bill, on general grounds
are about to be made. Mr. John Davis of Mass, open
ed the general debate on the part of tho Northern
opposition, to-day, with great power and effect The
main argument against the bill will be that it is no
compromise, and that there is no ground for com-
promise between slavery and freedom; that the new
territories must be slaveholding or non-slavcbolding;
that the bill will either place slavery there or exclude
it thence, andthat in all probability it will establish it
there.
Further Foreign News per Niagara.
The steamship Niagara arrived at Boston about
half past five o’clock on Wednesday afternoon, bring

and Liverpool dates as late ns the 15th instant.
We give below an epitome of the intelligence con
tained in our foroign journals:
Case of Mr. Smith O'Brien.—In the House of Com
mans on Friday night, Sir L O’Brien called the at-
tention of tho Government to the state of health and
the treatment of hi« brother, Mr. Smith O’Brien, the
couvict upon Maria Island, Van Dieman’s Land. The
Hon. baronet stated that his health was suffering, and
described at some length the regulations under which
ho was placed, in consequence of having refused the
indulgence of a ticket of leave.
Sir G. Grey stated that Mr. S. O'Brien having posi
tively refused a ticket of leavo, the Government of
Van Dieman’s Land had no other course open to them
than to adopt the regulations which they had taken,
without neglecting tiicir duty ; but at the same time
he had indulgences of which the other convicts were
deprived i in factrevery indulgence had been shown
him which the Government had in their power.
The Exiled King of France.—The health of Louis
Philippe is rapidly declining, and his symptoms are
suoh as to cause the greatest anxiety regarding their
immediate results. The ex-King arrived at the Vic
toria Hotel, St. Leonards, about a month ago, Bnd
has been confined in his room ever since. It is said
that M. Guizot, M. de Salvandy, and M. Duchateil are
about to pay l.im a visit. It appears also that the ex-
King is anxious that several ot his ancient Ministers
should assemble round him before his death, and that
sdite questions of great political importance will be
discussed in that council. It fs said that he intends
in his will to lay down to his family the course which
he wishes them to pursue after his death. The
French Legitimists say that his wish is in favor of a
re mnciliation with the cider brands of the Bourbons.
Ini mi. Visit of the Queen to Cork.—The Cork
Examiner states, on the authority of a correspondent,
“officially connected with the Government, that it is
the intention of her Majesty and Prince Albert to vis
it Cork on the 2d of August, for the purposo of wit
nessing tlie regatta.”'
Great Decrease of the Repeal Rent.—The rent at the
last Repeal Association meeting, including 11s from
Wigan, Lancashire! was only Gil 19s 8d. Kir. O'Con-
nclfbas issued his last appeal or threat to close Con
ciliation Hall. He declares, however, that they will
continue to keep the doors open to the latest mo
ment, until they are pushed out by those who claim
the rights of landlords over them.
O'GonneWs Mansion.—The town of Killamcy was
posted, last week, with bills announcing a sheriff's
sale, to take place at Derrynane Abbey, the residence
of tite late Daniel O'Connell. The sale was to be at
the suit of soine half dozen creditors, and the shciifTs
name, appended to the placard, was “O'Connell.”
France. Gift from the Pope to the President, Napo
leon.—The Pope has sent a gift to the President Lou
is Napoleon, consisting of a superb missal, decorated
with paintings, and having on the cover a gold cross
which once belonged to Charlemagne.
France and the Sandwich Islands.—The Courier
du Havre states that Mr. Judd, the envoy from the
Sandwich Islands, who had visited Paris with the ob-
pet of demanding an indemnity from the French gov
ernment, for damage done to the fortifications of
^"Honolulu by the French squadron, and the capture
and detention of several steamers, has loft without
having succeeded iuhis mission, except that both par
ties have accepted the good offices of the English gov
eminent
Spain.—The Spanish Government, alarmed at tho
first accounts respecting Cuba,has ordered out a num
ber of war steamers. It is said Spoin is assisted by Eng
land, and that a dozen first class steam frigates are to
be immediately built of 1,400 tons each, and of 500
horse power. The armament of each vessel will be
fourteen guns. They are to be got ready as soon as
possible. Four are now on the stocks in London,
four are to be built in other English ports, and tlie re
mainder in Spain. Mandalay & Co., the celebrated
London engineers, are now mannfecturing the ma
chinery for these steamers.
Portugal.—The Portuguese government have re
cently attempted to stop ti.qshipmeut of port wines
from Oporto to the United Stirees, on British account,
by requiring ccrtifiiates—to the Portuguese govern
ment—that such wines are not to be re-exported to
England under certain heavy penalties. It is said
in commercial circles here that it will betmpossiblet j
carry out this meaure, which has caused much ex
ritemeut in Oporto. The United States frigate In
dependence, Commodore Morgan,is reported en route
to Lisbon, “to demand}of the Portuguese govern
ment a settlement of the claims of the American gov
ernment."

The South united in opposition to New Mexico ; E:

The N. Y. Express, commenting upon late advices
from \\Jnshingtoh city, says:
We are confidently assured that the great body of
tho South will show a firm front tq her admission ns
a State. The ultra Whigs,—Clingman, Stephens &
Co.—will make ‘war upon her to the knife,’ and in so ,|
doing help as much as possible to prejudice the
e mse of her competitor for the State Sovereignty—
California.
The excitement is very great, and the points at
issue between tho two sections appear to be multiply
ing every day, instead of diminishing. Mr. Clay, it is
said will resist the application of Now Mexico to be
admitted into the Union, and so will Mr. Benton,
The correspondent of tho N. Y. Commercial Ad
vertiser says
It is no longer doubtful that tho President is deter
mined to defend with all tlie powers of his high office
tlie territorial rights of tho United States in New Mex
ico. It is now no secriit that he will, if necessary, re.
Bistby force any armed attempt of the State of Texas
to seize upon that province. The time of tho con-
ThBRuie light begins to have a very huinbuge-
eus glimmer, In relation to the story about lighting
tlie Astor House in New York, the Courier and En
quirer says it has tlie authority of Mr. Stetson for
saying, that it is a humbug. Two or three gentlemen
of that city, hearing of tlie alleged discovery, hud tho
curiosity to gp to Worcester to examine lj. They
saw tlie light and the proprietor of the invention,
who observed, to illustrate the cheapness of the light,
that he could light tlie Astor House for ten cents a
■light. The gentlemen referred to said if he could do
so, tlie proprietors of tiio Astor House would proba
bly be very much obliged to him. And that's tho
whole story. They made lie propositions, received
none, and have no connexion with’the matter on
either side or in any way.
Curious EJfect of the Electric Light. A gentleman
near Waltham Abbey wus experimenting a short time
ago with the electric light, and having a wound in his
left hand, lie touched the conducting wire with it,
and at once felt ail irritation in Ilia hand, and it be- r
