Mr. Footo moved to provide that California shall •exercise no jurisdiction south of the parallel of 35° 30." Mr. Dawson supported It.

Tile bill to admit California os a State, to provide for the establishment of the territories of New Mexi co and Utah, and tomalce certain propositions to Tex as in regard to boundaries, and for nth r purposes, was read a third time, amidst some laughter. Toe bill was passed and title amended. The Senate adjourned. House op Representatives.—Mr. White asked tho unanimous consent of the House to offer a reso lution providing thut the Speaker shall appoint n special committee ot 1 twenty-one members to consult, and report to the House such a bill as will be calcu lated to allay the present excitement, and settle the questions permanently which have caused tho excite ment. Objection was made by Messrs. Root and Carter to tho resolution, and it was not introduced. Tho committees were culled for reports. Nume rous reports were made, mostly on pension cases. Mr. Stanton, of Tonn., trom tho committee on na- TOl cft'uirs, reported a bill for the establishment of a line of now steamers witii the coast of Africa, for the purpose of suppressing the African slave trade and promoting the commerce of tho United States witii that coast—which bill was read a first and second bind and referred to the committee of tho -wholo on the state of the Union. On motion of Air. Duer, the rules were suspend ed, and the House resolved itself into committee of the whole on tho state of the Union, (Mr. Disney in tho chair,) and resumed the consideration of the for tification bill. Mr. King moved to strike out tho item of 83,000 for the preservation of the site of Fort Moultrie, Charleston hurbor.

The result of the recent ineffectual legislation in Congress, oil tho subject of our sectional difficulties, lias given rise to vurious speculations iu regard to tbo iuturc, and has culled forth the expression of ex- tremo opinions from men who have heretofore been temperate in their language, whatever may have been their feelings on tho subject of tlto differences be tween the North and tho South. We were puitted at reading the following paragraph in the New York Express, a pupor which we ltuve ulwuys regarded as maintaining liberal views towards tlto South, and which lias certainly opposed the movetneus of the abolition faction of tho North, to whom all this diffi culty and discoi d is most unquestionably chargeable. The editor, alluding to the remarks of Air. Davis, ol Aliss., in the Senate, in which that gentlcmuu expres sed the belief thut tho army of the United States would refuse to shed the blood of their fellow citi zens of Texas,says: We have no doubt that it would bo n most painful and ungracious duty lor any officer of the army, or for any soldier in the army, to draw his svvmd cr carry his musket against a sister State. But lie would remember, in such u contest, tlireo things, which would sustain him in tho discharge of a soldier’s du ty, however painful it might be: first, loyally to the government in whose service he was : secondly, the treasunuble conduct oi tltoeo against whom ho was marching ; aud finally, the wrongs of those he Would bo called upon to delend. These are motives that would animate most any tnun,—Air. Davis, of Alias., of course, expected. But if file liuio should ever come, witich God in his mercy forbid, when such disloyalty found its way into the army of the United Stuff's, then, at the summons of the Executive, thou sands of American citizens, from every quarter of of tlie Union, animated by a love of country, and witii a singleness of heart and of purpose, would present themselves to do battle for the Union, for tlie Goustitution, and for tlie laws of the land. We are not, iu this country, thunk Ili-uven, so dependent up on a standing army of 10,000 tneu as to be frightened by such a scare-crow uppeals as to its disaffection in a caso of most trying emergency. The threat contained in this paragraph is unwor thy, the editor ol the Express, who, if ho meuns by “every quarter of the Union,’’ to embrace Georgia or any other Southern State is greatly mistaken in his calculation. Tho people of the Southern States are as much Httftehed to the Uuion ns those of the North ; but the mere name of “ the Union” is Dot enough for them. With us tho Union implies a national compact—a Union of Independent Sovereign States, on a basis of perfect EQUALITY. Such a Union commands our loyalty nnd veneration, und for. the defence and maintenance of such a Uuion against all enemies, nt home or from abroad, our people are as rendy and willing to spend their substnuce.aud to lay down their lives as those of any other section embraced within its limits ; and it is for its preservation in its integri ty and purity, thut we ure now contending, lint tlie mere word “ Union” is not a balm for all tlie politi cal evils that may be inflicted upon a people in its name. Of this we have a striking illustration, nnd “ warning in tlie British Union. Ireland is a member of the “ United Kingdom,” ns Georgia is of the “United States”—but Union, that has been a bles sing to us, as an equal in the compact, lias been a curse to her as nil inferior. Ireland’s wrongs find no re dress in a Union witich is to her a chain of bondage! What tfien is Union to her ? What would it lie to us in hercondilion of inferiority t The word Uuion, an applied to States implies equality and mutual adoan' tage, and without equality, tho name becomes a mockery and the tin u chain. It is to preserve this equality, and to maintain these relations, that tlie pat riotic men of tho South are now striving; and it is for their eflorts to uphold and perpetuate the Union, for which they have sacrificed so much and from which they have derived.such blessings, that they are threat ened witii tlie sword and bayonet by tlie editor. We trust that a little cool reflection will convince hiin of the rashness of Itis threats, and thut lie wilt be the last to foster ami inculcate a spirit of hostility and violence against the South. In how much better spirit are the following re marks from tile Journal of Commerce. The Journal asks. “ Is the Union to be dissolved, and for what!” It declares that tbeNorth is in ignorance of the dutiger that awaits tho Union.—that lie must be an Incarnate Fiend who desires n servile war at. tlie South. “What” it asks, “if this Union were dissolved! Would slavery be thereby abolished 1 no; bufthein fluence, which tlie free States, while politically uni ted to tlie sieve-holding, cun exert over tlie subject, would become u repellent power, and tho prospects of the slave would be more hopeless than ever.” Tho editor then alludes to file wicked anticipation entertained by some, of a revolt by the blacks in case of a rupture with the North. Tho effect, ho says, would be appalling, and would end in u “ fearful re- tributiou upon the blacks, followed by a riveting of their chains more firmly than ever. We repeat" says the editor “ and mean what we say, thut any man who desires a servile war at tii.-i South, witii all the frightful consequences which must ensue, is an lu- carniite Fiend.” He continues : The South could, if necessary, raise n force of COO, 000 fighting men; sufficient to resist any army that could be seat against them from uuy quarter, in short, we do not believe that there is a nation on earth that could conquer tlie South. The N urth could not; Great Britain, with all her power, could not. Neith er do we believe that a war with tile South would give freedom to many slaves.

New-Youk, July 30, 1850. The intense heat of the weather, tho thermometer being 92° as I write, evidently imparts a sluggishness to every body and every tiling, not even a sufficient breeze to cool for a moment tlie perspiring brow.— Yesterday was a scorcher, and those who could by any possibility get away from the bricks nnd mortnr did so. I took a stroll to that democratic bathing place, Coney Island; for you must know that tlie unfortunates who are deprived of the pleasure of bath ing at Rockawny, Newport, &c., have the chance of doing so nt the above place, where, I presume the wa ter is equally beneficial and Invigorating, and tlto sand 1 know is as suit and velvety as at either of tho aris tocratic resorts. Coney Island is some distance down the buy, and is readied by steamboat from the city iu about an hour. It is a wild, desolate place, with out tlie slightest vegetation, and no appearance ol any tiling green, except here und there a sickly weed that has struggled through its gravelly bed. An im mense canvass tent is erected near the landing, where bud spirits, dam chowder and soup are dispensed; nnd in its neighborhood are some wooden shanties, where tlie peculiar refreshments of the place may be obtained. The only way of traversing tlje Island is over plunk paths, which bridge it from the pier to the tent, und thence to the shore, where a row of rude dressing l ooms aro erected for those who desire to bathe, lor the use of which nnd u dress twenty-five cents aro charged. A more delightful place for bath ing cun scurccly lie imagined; for tlie surf is not so high us ut ltockawuy, Newport und Cape Alay, so that the opportunities fo$>wiinining ure better, and bath ers cun venture out with safety to any dep' i they please, ulwuys supposing that tin y are sure-footed unil strong enough to resist the undercurrent. It is to be regretted thut, with the tine opportuni ties for enjoying a cool trip and u refreshing bath presented at Coney Island, the respectable portion of the community lire deprived of them; for the place und tlie boats aro almost exclusively possessed by courtezans, blacklegs, fancy and fighting men, and the scenes presented ure of sucli u character ttot no one would choose to tukeafetnulo lie lmd any reject, for to be exposed to such associations As there is nothing to restrain tlie abandoned creatures who re sort there, not even a personal senso of shame, you may imagine how gross their conduct frequently is. It seems to mo neither just nor proper thut tlie pub lie should bn driven from this place by such means, but that tlie law with reference to nuisances should be made to apply in such cases ns this. Speaking of blacklegs reminds me that Green, tlie Reformed Gambler, has formed an association in this city for the suppression ol' gambling, it appears tlint there are (1123 gambling-houses in this city, and by tlie menus of secret agencies, he is to keep a register of the visitors to such places—their names, business and loss nightly—this to he exhibited publicly to merchants nnd others ! Auxiliary associations are to be formed iu other cities, aud if tlie plan he carried out, it will do much, I think, to break up these dens. The “ Old Gentleman ” is still in the tailors, and only the law will drive him out, 1 believe. Yesterday they attacked tho house of a Catholic priest, who, in tlie kindness of his nature, procured some materials from a tailor’s store, which he intended to get made up by the poor aud distributed in his neighborhood, who were afraid to go to the stores far work. It was rumored lhat the Catholic Church was attacked, und very soon there was such a mass ns excited Irishmen alone can create A great many of these lawless fac tious of men are now in limbo, and ure bound to catch it. Tlie Collector, Maxwell, has returned from tue wreck nt Fire Island after recovering a large quanti ty of the cargo, which he found iu the houses of about forty of the inhabitants, against whom processes have been issued, and they will no doubt be severely pun ished. It is suspected that the missing bodies may have been washed ashore, nnd, alter having been Bti ipped by these pirates, secretly buried. Such con duct is enough to make one ashamed of his species. As I expected, Air. Forresthas denied that lie made any professional engagement, mid states that he does not desire to appear before the public This is the first evidenco of sanity helms ev.nced for some time past There is to be a sort of procession got up on Fri day to escort Gen. Pnez from the Buttery to the City Hall, where the Mayor will welcome him to the city. A deputation, civil nnd military, wait upon him at Staten Island, and accompany him up the bay. Gar ibaldi, the Italian patriot, is also nt Staten Island, anil is to be semi-publicly received. Our corporations are very fond of displays, and of junketings, and ex cursions at the public expense. A Air. Thompson of this city, who died on Monday last, bus generously bequeathed 814,000 to its various charitable institutions. Probably his relations think him more generous than just.

It is to be tlie property of a stock company, tho shares being placed at twenty-five dollars each.

Disastrous Shipwreck. The New York Eve ning .Express learns from Capt. Byson of the brig Daniel, from St. Thomas, that a hurricane occurred nt that place nnd tlie Windward Islands on the 12th £d 13th lilt. CJuite a large number of vessels were lost, at St. KittS, Dominico, Antigua, and St. Croix. An Ameri can schooner was loot at St Croix. 2 Br. Brigs at St. Kitts, were likewise wrecked. ‘ The crew consisting of 2(i persons were drowned. Defeat of the Compromise Bill. Air. Peaiice of Alarylnnd is held responsible by Mr. Clay, and other friends of the measure for the defeat of the Compromise Bill. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing on the subject says : If Mr. Pearce’s amendment had combined the mo tion to strike out will the motion to insert the pro viso proposed by him, tlifcre would have been some basis to act upon. But in opposition to entreaty, he separated the motions, and after getting New Mexico out, it could not be reinstated. The friends of the bill Jay the blame of its defeat upon Air. Pearce. He would uot listen to any ex. postulations, but took pucli a coifrse as to render de feat inevitable. After New Alexico was out of the bill, the whole scheme of course fell with a crash. Mr. Dawson’s amendment might, with some care, have been so modified as to effect the, object sought by the Texan Senators, without implying anything adverse to the rights of Texas. After the mischief bad been done, Air. Underwood, who had co-opera ted with Mr. Pearce, indicated apuode by which this could lie done. But though Mr. Pearce’s motion was, as Mr. Clay said to day, tlie immediate cause of tlie defeat of the bill, it hud in it seeds of dissolution. It was always in danger from some quarter or another. It would perhaps have broken down upon the question of re ducing the boundaries of California. The American people will learn with regret that the Senate, after so protracted a struggle was obliged to abandon the effort io settle all the disturbing questions. The same writer says:—The Utali bill when it gets to the House, will in my opinion, lie Wilmoted aud will ofcourse, fail between tin: two Houses. The Wilmot is not dead in llic House. It was scotched by means of the otter oi'whnt was called “ the President’s plan,” ant! the expectation of the success of that, or the Senate compromise. I do not know upon what grounds any expectation is entertained of the passage of any bill adjusting tlie Texan dispute, or providing menus for its adjustment, and giving New Alexico the protection of civil gov ernment. No bill can probably pass the Senate sep arately, which could nut be passed conjointly with other measures. , The question is a national one, to some.extent, and the Southern extremities, the Northern anti-dnvery men, tile two Texan Senators, and a few impracti- eables in addition, will continue to form a majority in opposition to any bill that can pass the House. Tin? California bill is now up, and the proposition to reduce tlie boundaries is likely to give much trou ble. Georgia has bound herself to adopt measures for resistance in case California is admitted with her present boundaries, llutthc bill, some rime or other, will purs tlie Senate, and if it pass the House without a severe convulsion, it will be remarkable.
