House of Representatives. Mr. Mtl.nne, lly unanimous coneent, reported from the committee on commerce, with the view to here it-printed, a bill to ainpnd the act providing for the better aeeurity of the liver of passengers on board of vessels propelled in wnole or in part by eteam, and to limit the number 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 the amendment of Mr. Thompson to tho original 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. Tho question now being on ordering tho bill to a third rending, the motion was carried; veas 151 n dvt 57. ■ Tho question now being: Shall the bill pass?

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. Washington, Sept. 9th, 1850. Senate. Tho Texas boundary bill, with the House amendment, was taken up. Tlie amendment waa concurred in—yeas 31, nays 10, as follows. Yens—Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Bell, Berrien, Bright, Cuss, Clay, Dawson, Dickinson, Dodge, of lowuy, Douglas, Downs, Felcb, Foote, Houston, Jones, King, Muugum, Morton, Norris, Peurco, Pratt, Rusk, Sebostinn, Shields, Smith, Spruance, Sturgeon, Underwood, Wales, Whitcomb—31 Nays.

A bill to authorise the Sccretnry of the Treasury to permit vessels from Nortli American British Pro vinces to load and unload in American ports, was or dered to a third reading. House of Representatives. Tho House passed a resolution, at the instance of Mr. Harris, of Tenn., by a,vote of 117 to 71, to provide for the adjourn ment, sine die, of the present sossion of Congress, on thei30tli of September—this day three weeks. 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. Mr. Schenck reminded the gentlemen from North .Carolina of the facts in regard to Texas—r. casein S oint The Senator* and Representatives elected eijure her annexation to the U, S-, were admitted to Feat* after the annexation resolution passed. The question being on tho amendment ot Mr. Olds, Mr. Vinton submitted an amendment to allow pny and mileage to tlie delegates trom Utah, Deseret and New Mexico who wore disallowed > cuts at tlie pre sent Congress. Mr. Strong was opposed to pay per diem when they were not acknowledged as delegates. Air. Vinton cited cases where per dien allowed. The question was then taken, and the amendment of Mr.Vinton to the amendment was ngrecd to. Tlie amendment of Mr. Olds as amended was agreed to, and the bill was laid aside to be reported to the House. On motion of Mr. Bayly, the committee took U] the Military Academy appropriation bill, which line been returned from thu Senate with amendments changing the pay ot the Professors by doing away witli rations, subsistence, foraje, &c., and to pay the usual sum as salary. Mr. Grlunell moved to amend the amendments of tlie Senate by placing all tlie Professors on thu snmo footing in poiut of salary. Tho question was taken and the amendment was not agreed to. Tho bills were then reported to the House. The mileage hill was, on the motion of Mr. Strong, so amended that the puy of the delegates, provided for in tlie bill, shall be live dollars per day, instead of eight dollars. Tlie motion wnsugrceil to. Mr. Thompson, of Mississippi, moved to strike out the provision in relation to tho pay and mile- ago of delegates. It wns rejected by yens 49, nays 86. Tho bill under tlie operation of the previous ques- tion was passed on a vote by yeas und nays, of 78 ' the affirmative and 77 in the negative. Tho chair voted in the negative—so the bill wns re jected. Mr. Thompson, of Mis*., moved to reconsider the vote mid to lsy it on tlie table. Pending tlie question, on motion, the House ad journed.

In Iho letter tho Prince de Joinvillo declares liim»elf entirely against princely republics, and in favor of an honest republic, purely and simply Democratic.

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. Toe U. S. sloop-of-wnr Germantown was oft' our port a few days since, and sent in her boats. Tlie i’izarro returned from her New York trip t few days since.

A native of tho Canary islands, a poor ignorant fe. low, was executeil at Cardenas a short time since. lie was accused of aiding and abetting Lopez.

When asked “ But did not Lopez force you or de ceive you f" “ No, sir." “But did lie not use coer cion »" “ No sir—lie spoke to me and Hiked him, and so 1 served him." “Did you not know that in serv ing him you were committing treason nguinst your Queen I ’ “Ido not know the Queen, 1 never saw her, and that man spoke civilly to me.

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.

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 fear the silence bodes no good, and thnt it is irre trievably lost. We are in hourly expectation of a week's Internews from Europe, by the Asin, now due at Ilnlilnx. She left on tlie 31st August, und has been out nine days. The Empire City, Georgia, Cherokee and America, nil leave here between to-morrow nnd Friday- tlie three former for Ciiagres. The Democratic Nominating Convention meets at Syracuse on Wednesday, nnd a good deal of curiosity is felt to sec w ho they will run. The Whigs don’t seem at oil apprehensive, but are confident of win ning tlie city nnd State. A Mayor and Board of Al dermen nre to be elected in New York this lull. Tlie trade sale of Cooley & Keesc has closed ; and that of Bangs, Brother & Co , commenced this even ing— tlie catalogue is a volume of 328 pt'ges. Cooley's wns mi'immense sale. Our city continues to bo crowded with Btrnngers, nnd business is very brisk—tho wholesale houses aro overwhelmed with customers. Of course, those who intend to visit New York, either for business or pleas ure. will come just now, while tho Llndphobia is at its height. Tlie Atlantic left here to-day at noon, with nbout 110 passengers; among them three bearers of des patches to England, France nnd Russia. Peaches are a drug in the market—they nro so cheap thnt no one enres much about them. (i| to 50 cents a basket, they lire sol'1 for, and" thousands of buskers full nre ill t own into the river.

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.
