Mr. 3kward, of,/Thomas, offered resolutions, ap proving the course of Hon, John M, Berrien in the Senate of the United' States, which were taken up, rad, as I understood, withdrawn for the present by the mover! tty!* Mr. Seward also read a long preamble, accompa nied by resolutions,salting forth the action which he deemed'it proper for the convention to take in the present clrisis. Upon a motion to tako up the pre amble aqd resolutions, the ayes and noes were called lor, ahdyesulted as follows :«yes 57 ; hoes 127. A copy of the preamble, ami resolutions, and vote upon the motion to take up, will be forwarded to morrow. v v A message was received from the Committee of Thlrty-threo asking on extention of time to prepare their report—which request was granted. And the Convention took a recesd until 3 o'clock this afternoon. Yours, &c Congrete—The Prospect. Our National Legislature has now been in session nearly two weeks, and has done literally nothing.— The probability is that no business will be transacted until after the Christmas holidays. There will thin remain but two months of: existence tor the Thirty- first Congress, in which to accomplish the legisla tion of one your for this great Republic. 11 thebusi- ness of the country was made the chief concern ot the members, and if they could bo induced to ad- dress themselves to the task in good earnest, and with a single eye to the interests ot the svhple coun try, it Is possible that even the brief time allowed would suttice to do all that is required ; but if the halls of Congress are again to be converted Into an arena tor angry partizan and fanatical contests, tor personal criminations and rencontres, it matters little how much time is thus consumed. A perpetual Con gress, such as the last, Would not be able to legislate for the country. It 1b thought by some, and sincerely hoped by many, tliut the action of the last session removed, if it did not‘-equitably adjust," the sectional difficulties, which, while they remained under discussion in Con gress,disturbed the harmonious legislation of the coun try ; and that Congress on its re-assembling, would address itself in a better spirit to the legislation es sential to the great interests of all sections of the Union. It remains yet to be seen whether these ex. pectations will be realized. Although the South is not insensible to the injus tice of her exclusion lrom the public domain, yet she seems to have made up her mind to yield to the pre- tentionsol the North in this matter, holding to the guarantees ot the Constitution for protection front turther encroachment upon her rights. It is not prob aide therefore that she will attempt to disturb the late compromise meusures, though she will most rigidly insist on the maintenance ot that only portion of the scheme in which her rights are considered—the Fugitive Bill. But we are not so sure that mutters will bo permitted to rest as they arc, even during the present session, by the tree soil and abolition agita tors of the North. These factious are led by reckless’ fanatical men—men alike indifferent to the principles of injustice and honor, and to the fate ot our politi cal Union. Agitation is their life—they have, as they imugine, all to gain and nothing to lose by conflict with the South and her institutions, and if we may judge by the past, no concession on our part, short ot a total surrender of our rights under the Constitution, would satisfy their unreasonable demands. Tbe leaders of this party have not yet made any demonstration in Congress. They are perhaps wait- g events and arranging their plans lor the new crusade. -Mr. Sewaiid. tne acknowledged leader, has thus far preserved a mysterious silence; but Gid dings, eager for tho onset, finds it difficult to restrain his zeal until the proper time, as is shown by his re murks on Mond.y last, upon the President's Mes sage, when he said that the -‘President hud menaced the freemen of the North, who will die before they will become slave-catchers, which, in his opinion, was worse than murder." A writer in the Philadelphia Ledger, in tho course of some speculations in regard to the probable move ment of the abolition faction, in and out of Congress, __ g'ome tlmo since, thepVigiltmce Committee ofthe Southern Rights Association at Eufaula, in this State, required Capt., Elisha Betts, of Barbour county, to leave his residence there, as ho was in the habit of roceivlna abolition papers, corresponding cn - couragingly with the same,' und circulating their views through the community. Recently he has made an application for permission to return and tho same has been granted, upon his signing a writ, ten agreement that he will not again offend in tho sitrao way, but bo u true and loyal citizen ot tbe South. This has been done, in consideration of his advanced age, and theguaruntee ofthree of his neighbors, high, ly respectable gentlemen, that he will observe his promise. These proceedings are reported in the last "Spirit ofthe South,” published at Eufaula. More Gold—Sholkua in Jamaica.—The steam ship Empire City, Capt. Wilson, from Chngres, ar. rivedat New-York on ounday morning, with dates from San Francisco to Nov. 1st, from the Isthmus to Nov. 27th, and Kingston, Jamaica, to the 1st of De cember, She has $1,600,000 gold dust on freight, and probably $400,000 in the hands of passengers Her advices from California were anticipated by the Georgia- Tbe Empire-City brought Jamaica papers of the 518th snd30th. They give a most dreadful account of tbe ravages of the cholera in the interior parts of the island. At Port Royal, from the 16th to the 28th, 100 deaths had occurred, and the epidemic contin ued to a tearful extent. At Portland, 9 deaths; St. Jamba, 10 cases and 7 deaths; Trelawiney. 28 ca-es, “&!ipouth,20 deaths;St. Ann's, 10deaths: " i the East, 507 cases, 336 deaths. Baltimohe, December 7,1850.—Sheriff Cloud, yes terdi.y, summoned a Jury to hold an inquest, by vir tue of lunatico inquirendo, into the sanity of Miss Ra chael Colvin, an old miser and millionaire of 6ur city, whose real estate is valued at near)y$ l ,000,000- The result of the inquest was, that the jury did not consider her mentally capable of further care of her vast estate, which has been, for so long a time, so skilfully mnnnged by her. The bulk of this estate was left by her father to herself and brother, and en tailed to a distant relative; nearly half a century huo. One condition of their continuing in possession of the estate, during theirl ves, was,thut they should remain single. Tho father died crazy; and hearing Bometbiu|g said about carrying his body to tbe church, immedi ately preceding his death, lie expressed a hope that, if they did, it would catch fire and bur n down. His body was, however, carried to tho old Light street Mcttiodist Church—a frame building, which stood on the site of the present structure—and, sure enough, it did catch fire and was burned down, the body liav ing with difficulty been rescued from the fames. A brother and a sister of Miss Rachael have 6ince died, deranged; and now, it seems, her turn lias come.— She has been in thiscondition some tirpe. and sub ject to the most unnatural vagaries—imagininu that she is enciente, and that General Washington is her husband. The estate, I learn, except such portion as she has acquired, by tho rents in her own name, passes to some poor relatives, in the State of Delaware. That which is in her own name will go to her niece, who, it is said, has been made her sole heir by a will re corded during tbe time abe waa in k sane atate of mind. Special Notices.

SHIELS. aaya: Tho object of the Northern agitators seems to be to excite the South, already sufficiently irritated and troubled, to madness, so ns to push them to some overt act of treason or rebellion, which shall enable them (the Nurtb) to raise the Union standard by con trast, or to cause the South to abstain trom nl, par ticipation in the Presidency of 1852, by running an ultra candidate of their own, who in turn would jus tify the running of an independent Northern candi date, on the Free Soil plaiform. The game is whol ly unworthy the cause which is hereatstake—a wan ton and infamous trilling with the dearest interests of the nation--and entirely destructive of the frater nal teelings which ought to animate the citizen of dif ferent section of the Uunion. A few weeks will disclose the plots now hatching among the politicians at Washington. We trust the present culm does not bode a more fearful storm than tbe last Attempted Assassination.—A pretty young wo. man, says a New-York tetter, was standing at her father’s door, about 11 P.

A knife had pluinly passed through the lady's dress, just missing her person ; the gentleman was slightly out in the arm. The culprit was imme diately suspected to be a reckless young man whose addresses she had rejected a few days before, and be was accordingly arrested. As he belongs to a wealthy family, great efforts are being made to hush up the matter.

Printer’s National Conventiom—The Jour neymen Printers who hove been sitting in National Convention, in New York, thefew days past,have finally adjourned. A National Executive Commit tee have been appointed, to carry out the plans agreed upon—one of the most important of which seems to be the raising ol funds to establish a Print, ers "Union” office, to do the printing of the United States government. The following is the resolution adopted on this subject: Resolved, That the National Convention Commit tee have power to correspond with the several Unions which are or may be establishe-i, on the subject of joint stock offices, and particularly to as certain from such Unions if funds can he subscribed by the members thereof, in amount sufficient to war rant the establishment of a National Union for do ing the printing of the United States government. ■ Resolutions conjeming the proposititra to estab lish a national printing office by Congress Were udopted. lupgai ians in Turkey, we are glad to learn, will soon be liberated. Kossuth will go to Lon don, and Count Bathiany and Mr. Percrel, to Paris The Emperor of Austria has so far relented towards HungaVy as to grant a full pardon to all the Hungari an officers who will join their corps before the end ot Mardi. Columbia, Dec. 11,10 P. M. In the House of Representatives the consider-.tion of the orders of tbe day was resumed. Messrs. Leit- ner ..nd McGowan were opposed to State action at S resent, but were in favor of a Southern Congress. Ir. B F. Perry opposed separate State action und, the call of a Convention. He advocated the appoint ment of delegates to a Southern Congress, four by the Legislature, and two from each C .ngresaional District. If he could preserve the Union, consistent ly with his feelings as a southern man, he felt dis posed to do so. He was In lavor of arming the State; denied the right of secessi >n; advocated the right of revolution ; and was in favor of non-intercourse and the North Carolina resolutions. Mr. Seabrook submitted resolutions that the State should suggest that the Southern Congress should meet at Montgomery on the first Monday in Decem ber next, provided Ibat no State designated an ear lier day, und that a bill Ase prepared to call a Conven tion ofthe people of this State, and for the election of delegates on the second Monday in November. A Tragical Affair Our readers will recollect that last May, a returned Californian, by the name ofJohnBon, of Bangor, on his way tbitherinthe steamboat, left about 85,000 of gold upon the wharf at Belfast, which was found and returned to him.— Mr. Johneon was considered to bu n very lucky mnn not rmy in recovering his gold, but in being able to bring home bo large a ‘pile,’considering the shortness of his absence. Last Friday this fortunate Mr. Johnson was arrested by on officer from New-York on a reqisition from the Governor of Calfornio tot the robbery und mur der ot a mnn in California, some time last winter or spring. The most horrible part of the affair is, thnt two innocent persons were accused as tbe murderers. canvictid and hung, while Jubnson was in the States, Some recent developments, however, came out con neciing him with tho murder, which left no doubt as. to his guilt, and caused his arrest.— Bath (Me.) Tri bune. PaorosiTioN to Increase the Army.—General Winfield Scott's report on the army is published in the Intelligencer. He recommends the organization of two additional regiments of horse dragoons or mounted riflemen, and an increase of infantry. He deems this increase indispensable for the protection ofthe frontiers. Virginia Senator.—Mr. Mason has been reelect ed Senator by tho Virginia Legislature by a majority of seventy. All the Democrats and seventeen VVliigs voting for Rim. We greatly rejoice in this result— Mr. Mason Is boe ofthe most high toned mpn in Vir ginia, and his election,by so great a majority, is not only a most honorable and deserved distinction to himself, bnt Is a gratifying proof that Virginia i» ready to back those statesmen who are true to tbe cause of the South. ■ ' 'mttm Baltimore Sun, remarking upon this elec- election of Mr. Mason as Senator from Vir- glnla, by an overwhelming majority aud without regular opposition, is of-itself the best proof that Vir- S inia could give of her determination to insist upon te faithful execution of the fugitive slave act. If the constitutional provision for tbe recovery ot iugi- • tives was, as Justice Baldwinaaid, “the corner-stone Of the constitution." so the recent set toentorce that provision was tjie corner-stone of the compromise.

It was proved thnt Green was married about six years ago and lived happily with a woman to whom be was much attached, and, that Redden seduced her from her fidelity to him. The Delaware Rupublican says:— “He would frequently take her from her house and keep her away all night: and there was proof of adulterous intercourse. On Green accusing him of it, he said;—‘Yes, 1 have had your wife, and will have her again whenever I like; and if you don’t keep quiet Twill blow your liver out.' He carried two pistols loaded for thu avowed purpose of shooting Green; and on one occasion assaulted and beat him severely. He loaded these pistols with slugs on Sa- urdny, the 20th of July last, tell ng his own wife that he intended to shoot Green. That night he took Green's wife from her house, and kept her out all night., staying with her in a stack yard, about three miles from her husband a house. Green discovered the guilty pair about day break the next morning; went some two or three miles and borrowed a gun; returned aud found Redden sitting asleep in a neigh boring house'and shot him through the open door. He immediately surrendered himself. "The law In Delawere makes it no higher offence than a misdemeanor for a husbaud to kill a mau found in tbe act of adultery with his wife ; and the Jury considering even that as beyond tho guilt of this defends l under the circumstance of aggrava tion and outrage presented .by his case, acquitted him entirely. “The unhappy men, on being discharged from the dock, waa received by a crowd of friends, who gave three hearty cheers when they had got into the street. The guilty wife was not there; and the widow of the deceased contributed, by her testimony, to the ac quitted of the man who slew her own husband." now, titya a Washington let" will not agitate the slavery U ia gre tly to be bopcjl that authority for what he aaya.

Improper Foreign Interference.—At a recent meeting of the .Committee ofthe British and For eign Anti-Slavery Society, held in London, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted. “ Resolved, That this committeo have witnessed with profound regret tho ucts of the United States Congress during its last session in relation to sla very, and feel it to be their duty to record their con demnation of the spirit in which they were con ceived, the principles on which they were based, and the objects tifey were intended to accomplish.— That this committee more particularly reprobate and denounced tho net for the recapture of lugitive slaves as an outrage upon the dearest rights of hu manity, slid a daring violation of the laws of God. That this committee deeply sympathise with the colored population of the United States in their pre- ost trying and painful circumstance?, and testly exhort the friends of freedom the Union to use every legitimate means, d Chrjatisn spirit, toefl'cetthe entire and abolition of tnis most iniquitous law." improper interference in our national affairs, deserves the most unequivocal rebuke.
