of paaaengera carried ill said vessels. The bill waa
read twice and ordered to be printed.
The bill to admit California aa a State Into the Union
came up next in order. It waa read a first and aecond
time by ita title; when »
Mr. Boyd obtained the floor and moved to amend
the hill by adding to it the bill to organize a Territo
rial Govern ment tor tho Territory of Utah—the aame
aa passed by the Senate, with the exception of tho
appropriation for the erection of public buildingain
auid territory.
Mr. Vinton raised n question of order on the a-
niendnicnt-T-that it waa not germain to the bill.
The speaker ruled that it was in order, as much
so ns the attachment of the New Mexican territorial
Mil to til" Texas boundary bill.
Mr. Vinton appealed fromthe decision of the clinir,
and argued that it waa just aa proper to amend n bill
by adding to it a proposition to establish a court in
Texas or elsewhere.
Mr. McClernand moved the previous question on
thu appeal.
Mr. Harris, of Tenn., moved to lay tlie.appenlon ■
the talile, which was decided in tho negative—yeas
8d, nays 116.
The question recui red on the call for the previous
question.
The question wns then taken—shall tho decision
of the chair stand aa tho judgment of the Hbusct and
it was decided by yeas 87, nays 107.
So tho decision of the choir wws overruled, and
Mr. Boyd's amendments waa declared to be not in
order.
Mr. Thompson, of Miss., declared himself in op
position to the California bills* passed by the Ben-
are— and moved as a substitute therefor, a hill re
manding California to territorial jurisdiction, and
providing that.her. Southern boundary shall bo 36°
Mr. T. then wenbon to argue that if California wns
admitted under the Senate bill, she would hold on to
•11 the public dom'niu.
Mr. Meade desired to move as an amendment to the
original bill a provision to protect some ot his con
stituents, who he said, weru in California, allowing
them twelve months, from and alter tile passage of
this act, to remove their slaves there from and pro
viding, should they runaway, that they shall he re
claimed under the constitution Hnd laws ot the United
States, as fugitives are reclaimed in all the States.
The Chair ruled it not in time.
Mr. Thompson, of Miss., ulso moved nn amend
ment to tho original bill, providing that tho Southern
houndary of California shall be on the line of 36 deg.
30 min North latitude.
Mr. Thompson argued to show thnt the bounds-
rioa of California, as set up, aro outrageous, and
should be curtailed.
Mr. Richardson moved tho previous question.
Tile Chair said if the previous question was bus-
tnlued it would bring the House first on the amend
ment uf Mr. Thompson to tho original bill, 2d on his
substitute, and 3d outhc third rending ol the hill.
Tho previous question was seconded, and main
question ordered. Tile question was then taken on

bill, fixing the Southern boundary at 36 deg. 30 min.
ami it was rejected—yeas 75, nnys 132.
Tho question then recurred on Mr. Thompson's
substitute for thu entire bill; which question was
decided in the negative—yeas 71, nays 13-1.
Mr. Holines moved an adjournment; negatived.

The bill as it passed the Senate only needs the sig-
nnture of the President to become a law.
On motion of Mr. Harris ot 111., the rules were sus
pended, midtho House resolved itself into Committee
of die Whole to tuke up the Utah Bill.
The committee laid aside other business and pro-
seeded to cunsidcr tho bill from the Senate to provide
a Territorial Government for Utah.
Mr. Wentworth moved ua an amendment to insert
the Wilmot proviso.
It was voted down—ayes 67, oocs 78.
Mr. Meade, proposed airnnieuilment, providing for
tho repeal of Hiiy and all lavra which shall prohibit sla
very in the territory of Utah.
The Chair ruled it out of order, and the decision
was sustained.
Mr. Sohhm moved ns an amendment, a proposition
thu effect of which was to admit the carrying of sla
very into Utah, prior to tho time of the organization
of a State Government there, and give protection to
all)very until that time.
The’question wus put and rejected—ayes 55, noce
ST).
Mr. T. Stevens moved to strike from tile hill the
following words, viz: •' and when admitted os a State,
the said Territory or any portion of the same, shall l e
received into the Union witli or without sinvery, in
their constitution may prescribe at the time of their
admission."
He was opposed to hunting future Congresses in
t this matter. For the purpose of linving complete
Bion-intervenVion, be was in favor of striking out the
Btiause.
p The question was taken ou striking out, and it wns
negatived—ayes 58, noes 85.
Mr. Fitch proposed on amendmrat. providing that
the Mexican law prohibiting slavery, be and remain
hi full fort* in said territory.
Mr. Mil Ison uttered a substitute for the amendment
of .Mr. Fitch, providing tor the repeal of all Mexican
laws in existence in said territory at the time it was
acquired which would interfere with the rights of
property uud the relations between master and
•lave.
The committee rose and a resolution wits adopted
at the instance of Mr. Boyd, to close the debate on the
bill in live tuiuutes after the House should again meet
In Committee.
The House agn'n resolved itself into Committee.
Mr. Bayly appealed to tho Southern members not
to oiler any amendments to the bill. He stud tout
tu# bill had received the vote of all the Southern
Senator*, and was acceptable to them as Southern
men.
Mr. tieildon, snW the Southern Senators would
never have voted for the bill, bad they known that
such outrage* would have been committed on the
Mr. Miilson'i amendment waa voted down
49, roe* 92.
Mr. Toombs Wished to know of the gentleman
what were tho wiongs of wnich he complained. It
there was any aggression upon the rights of the
South it was committed by two-third* of her sona,
whose loyalty to her could not hp questioned. He
did not view the admission of California as an ag-
g rcsslon on the South; nor the passnge of territorial
ills. These bills had received two-tblrda of the
Southern votes, and thereforo were satisfactory to
the South.
The discussion was continued by Messers. Scddon,
Welboro ahd Hubbard.
Mr. Fitch's amendment was withdrawn.
Mr Wellborn proposed an amendment, providing
that the people of the territory of Utah may pass
law* for the protection of slave property, should
slavery be introduced there.
After discussion by Messrs. Scddon end Brown,
of Miss., thu amendment of Mr. Scddon wns rejected.
Mr.. Brown, of Mias., said the South hnd been.fairly
whipped, and he trusted Ilia friends would yield any
turthor opposition, and turn tho matter over to the
people; but, for ouo, he wns for resistance.
The bill was then reported to tho House.
Tho question being shall the bill be rcail a third time
it wus carried in the affirmative, and the hill win read
a third time, and
The question being shall the bill pass, it was put,
and taken on a vote by yeas and nays and decided in
tlie affirmative, by yeas 97, nays 85.
(Tlie following gentlemen did not vote, having
puirod otf, viz:—Mr. McGaughry with Mr. Thoinua;
Mr. Carrier with Mr. Morse, and Mr. Hamilton with
Mr. Wilmut. Mr. Hamilton stated that he should
have voted for the bill.]
On motion, the Huu-e at 4 j o'clock adjourned.

ment, sine die, of the present sossion of Congress, on

The committee on enrolled bills reported the Cali
fornia bill as correctly enrolled. It was then signed
by tho Speaker.
Mr. Boyd moved to suspend tho rules to enable
the House to proceed to the business on tlie Speaker's
table, mid to take up the fugitive slave bill. Tho
House refused to suspend tile rules—yeas 100, nays
58—not two-thirds.
On motion of Mr. Bayly, the rules wore suspended,
and the House resolved itself into committee of the
whole.
Mr. Bayly, Introduced a bill appropriating$160,000
for the pay and mileage of members of Congress.
Mr. Olds submitted an amendment, restricting tlie
mileage of tho California Senators and Representa
tives to tho same amount that is provided for the
delegates from Oregon—that is to $2,000. Ho said
thnt by the general law they would bo entitled to
$■1,000.
Mr. Venable, in the course of the proceedings,
raised the constitutional question whether the Sen
ators and Representatives elected by California be
fore she was admitted as a State can be entitled to
seats under the Constitution; another words, wheth
er it will not be necessary fora new election in
California for senators and Representatives under
tho new state of things.

A Jenny Lind Hoax. Tile Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin of 7th inst. says ;
Some wag started a story thnt Jenny Lind had left
New York in the 9 o'clock train for this city. Some
of our over-enterprising cotemporaries, that never
get any telegraphic news except what they tuke from
tho Bulletin, started at this piece of entirely original
news and posted it on their bulletin boards. Crowds
guthered. und a current of enthusiastic young gen
tlemen began to pour down to Walnut street wharf.
Soon the report wns contradicted. Either Jenny
Lind hnd changed her mind and gone back before
reaching Newark, or the story was a mistake of the
telegraph wires. At nil events tho exciting dispatch
es were torn down, and the eager expectants went
homo, considerably dampened by the disappointment
and the ruiu.
From Havnnn.
The following additional items nre from the Pica*
y uue's Havana correspondent, of the 3d inst.
About a week since great damage was done in the
country and on tlie south coast by a violent gale of
wind trom tho southwest. At Batabano tlie water,
impelled by thtLgule, rose seventy teet, invading the
lrnid and flooding tils town so that there was but one
house dry in the place. The greatest injury waseffec-
ted by the blowing down ot the plantain trees. Any
one who knows Cuba knows tlie immense value of
tlie pluntain to the poor. Its destruction deprives
them of a great part of their food, and reduces them
to a sail condition. Tlie gale wns experienced here
in part of its severity, and after it abated the Spanish
mcn of-war, with their usual foresight, hauled into a
secure part of the bay, Hnd housed topgullantmasts.

lie was accused of aiding and abetting Lopez. It
seems lie loaned him ahorse, or carried a message
fur him. On the trial, the proof being insufficient,
tlie fiscal proceeded toquistion him in the hope of
saving him, but the man died fur his honesty and truth.
When asked “ But did not Lopez force you or de
ceive you f" “ No, sir." “But did lie not use coer

so 1 served him." “Did you not know that in serv

to do so.”
The Susan Loud has been sold for $6,000. This
price fur u small, low deck hermaphrodite brig, ill
ilirepnir, may seem to lie high to some of your
readers, but it is easily explained. The ostensible
purchaser is a Catalan, hut the real ones are two
officers in thu service, whose duty it is to insp ct
and receive timber purchased by Government.
8hc is to be pnid for in timber, which she is to bring
from the wood-cutting districts. Tho operation
merely amounts to l’edropriratc purchases of Pedro

Correspondence of the Daily Morning Newt.
New-York, Sept. 0th, 1850.
A most extraordinary and disgraceful scene wns
presented at Trinity Church yesterday, and certainly
if Jenny Lind makes nothing else, she makes a grout
many Sabbath-breakers. It was given out by some
one, nnd published without contradiction, thnt she
would attend the above mentioned church yesterday
morning, and consequently tlie place was crumined,
jammed in every part, and what with the shuttling of
feet, tlie whispering of the curious to know which
was tlie “Nightingale"—the fun $1 the hoaxers in
pointing out different ladies, the church was like any
place hut one of religious worship. All the time Jen
ny was sitting unnoticed at Grace Church, in the
midst of the “ upper ten"—comfortably ensconced in
an elegantly furnished pew, surrounded by a highly
scented atmosphere, and bathed in the softened light
of its elaborately stained windows.
I mentioned in a former letter, thnt tho Older of
United Americans, intended to get up a procession
and bring the scamp E. Z. C. Judson, from Black
well's Island, in triumph to the city, A meeting of
tlie Order has been hold I hear, and they utterly re
pudiate ns n body, any such intention, which has orig
inated with only one or two of tile Chapters, and a
general meeting iB to be held to night, when an edict
will be issued against any such disgraceful demonstra
tion being made. This is right,und I glndly take back
my remarks as applied to the Order generally. My
letter mude quite a stir, 1 hear.
The health of the city continues very good. Not
withstanding the sickly nature of the weather last
week, the deaths only numbered 384, being 13 less
than the previous week. Of these 248 were boys and
girls.
An awful expose has been made of tlie sins of our
City Fathers, uud uf others in authority, by the Chief
Engineer of the Fire Depurtjment, in his unuual re
port to the Common Council. He charges that the
riots, lighting, &c., of whirl the department bears
the disgrace, have been committed by gangs of row
dies called “ Rock Boys," •• Old Maid's Boys,” •• Short
Boys,” &c., uud that whenever any of them have
been arrested for attacking firemen, breaking tile en
gines, &c, they have Hlwnys been discharged without
examination, either by some of the Aldermen, or' by
Iho Police Justices, through their influence. The mat
ter is to be investigated, and if fair piny be given, (but
it wont of course) these facts con be proved, of course
the Chicfis deuounbed; but his manliness and inde.
prudence will commend him to the confidence of his
fellow citizens. It is time that these official iniquities
were exposed, which for years have been flagrant und
disgraceful. As an instance of the rowdyism of the
city, and the immunity extended to it, I may state,
that at 1 o'clock yesterduy, a little girl was enticed
into a lumber yard in one of our much frequented
streets, where a liundkercbief was placed over her
mouth, and a gang of these fellows, one after tlie oth
er, criminally assaulted her, and lef t her almost dead !
It is incredible, but is nevertheless truo.
The sale of tickets for Jenny's first concert was
continued this morning, and 1 believe every one has
been purchased, except those reserved for the press,
who are to be liberally treated, I hear. They were
purchased eagerly at from $5 to $7, hveruging it is
suid, $6 each. The amount realized must be in the
neighborhood of $20,000,1 should think; and as a great
many of tho tickets have been purchased by specula
tors, it is impossible to guess what tile actuul amount
of tickets for the first concert will be. It is whispered
thnt a dashing courtezan of the city, who rides about
in her own carriage, with servants in livery, lias se
cured six of the best places, and having been pur
chased at public auction. I don't see how admission
can be refused; but of course she will not be admit
ted. and Burnum may buy her otf at a fuir profit. It
has been ascertained that the Garden will only sent
4,500, but I have no doubt that at least five or six
thousand persons will be present.
I hear no more nbout that Calhoun Statue, nnd 1

Tlie Jenny Lind Excitement—Tlio Ticket
Auction nt (nstle Garden.
We had imagined that the weaklier being so unfa
vorable yesterday morning, the attendance at the
auction for tiie choice seats at the first concert of
Jenny Lmd, \yould have been thin, but before the up-
iwkintix! lutiii* f’n-tl.i itm;<tst*i iwnu ii*;*>v,.L..i
pointed hour, Castle garden was crowded with some
3,000 or 4.000 persons, notwithstanding the heavy rain,
and the charge of Is. at the gate fur admission, which
was complained of ns uu unjust exaction. A rtect of
umbrellas might be seen sailing steadily through tlie
Battery tor a lull hour, between 10 and 11 o'cluek,
and the attendance did not seem to be ..tt'ected in the
slightest degree bv the storm Such is the power ot
excitement over the human mind. The furore was at
its height yesterday, ami old, gray-hairod men might
be teen there ns anxious to secure a ticket for the
first night a? any youth of twenty. To hear her first
strains in public appears to lx-tlie great ambition ot
thousands. We know one man, a tradesman, too,
who declared, alter seeing Jenny Lind on the night
ol the serenade, he should go to hear her the first
time, mid bring Hs wire with him, if the two tickets
should cost him $luo. Whether his ardor has cooled
down since we know not, but certain it is tlmt tlie
public enthusiasm,at the auction yesterday, was just
as great ns it hns been nt any time since tlie Swedish
warbler arrived on our shores. There were no indies
present, else excitement Would have been vastly in
1 creused.
