The result wan that Mr. Chase, though jus- ’ LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. ARRIVAL s' tifying his course, withdrew the bill on sccouut of the late stage of the session. Mr. Pratt’s bill to ponioli persons guilty of enticing away slaves from - this District, and lo control the Iree black popu lation of tbe District, waa taken up. Mr. Hale moved to commit the bill with instructions to pro vide for tbe abolition of slavery in this District.— Mr. Hale made a speech in which he us.sened that the agitation on this subject was not checked, and that the institution of slavery was stronger now, In this country and elsewhere, than it had ever been. The latter assertion is true, and the former is not. The agitation lias received a check, but j how long it can be reined in, is another matter. | Hale's proposition was put to a vote, and to tbe ; surprise of Ml, it got nine votes, to wit: Baldwin of Connecticut, Davis and Winlhrop of Massa chusetts, Ewing and Chase of Ohio, Hamlin of Maine, Dodge of Wisconsin, and lisle of New Hampshire, and Seward. The other day, it had five votes, including that of Mr. Upham of Ver-; moot, who was not, to-day, present. So, there are ten votes, already, for this iaischievous proposition. The negative vote was fofy-one. Mr. Pratt's bill waa postponed till to-morrow, and we doobt not that it will be passed. Kit do not pass either now or at the next session, the citizens of this District must take care of them selves as they best ran. In the absence of other law, the law of necessity and of self-preserva tion must be appealed to. There was a very spirited debate in the House on tbe bill to appropriate money for the third in stalment of the Mexican indemnity, due next May. Mr. Disney, of Ohio, moved to amend the bill so as to provide that the payment should he made by the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of the Secretary of Slate. His reason was that he wished to break off the conditional con tract that Mr. Webster had mado for the payment of the money. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved to make the President responsible. All amendments were rejected, without a division and the bill was passed and sent to the Senate. t sickly amor patriw, till it shrinks to the s v of what it onco was, while the present infl 1 a prevail.

Billups, ot Athens, approached the s e delivered. v moments, the c resented a preamble i :ad and acted upon, a pre-, subject tnd commanded lh Mr. Stanton is for a thorough refoi sent system ; for substituting a st< the lazy old sailing hulks. He brought many facts | to show the superior efficacy and economy ot steam _ vessels of war. On a late and familiar occasion, an English steam fleet reached their destination in the Mediterranean in fifteen days, and before tlieir sailing waa known in Constantinople; while it would have taken ninety days for a fleet of sailing vessels. Mr. Stanton is for laying up one-third of our sailing ships, and building no more. He pro poses to enlarge the steam marine by building steam ships of war, and by extending the system of contracts with private individuals ami compa nies, for mail and commercial ocean steamers of great power, capable of being converted into war Reamers, at the pleasure of the Government.— The latter he showed to be the most economical •ltd efficient means of enlarging our naval power. It is a part of his plan to put officers of the Navy in command of the steam packets. He proposed la add.as an amendment to the appropriation bill, hia bill for the establishment ot the line of packets to Africa and the Mediterranean, which was an Important link in the system. It would give us j four of the most powerful steamers afloat, and Eng land would be obliged lo remndcl her steam ships In order to compete with them. He did not doubt that be could defend the proposition on every ground. Three speeches were made in reply to him. To-morrow this question is to be decided by the House. Tbe Senate made considerable progress to-day with .the civil and diplomatic bill. One or the amendments adopted provides for the enlargement of tbe capital. Tbe plan is to extend North amok.

The following Preamble and Resolution! then acted upon, and passed the meeting witbon: ore audihle dissent; after which,the Chair ci for an expression of opinion, by any one present might dissent, and noono interposed an objection : Believing as we do that the present alarming crisis has been produced from the continued excite ment throughout the Union, on the snbject of slavery in’connection with the Territories, that it is necessary and proper that the people should meet in primary assemblies tnd give tbeir full and free expression of sentiment upon this all absorb ing question, which so materially affects our con stitutional rights as citizens of this Republic: that inasmuch as tbe position of the North upon this exciting question, is decidedly aggressive and without authority in the constitution, and violative of every principle of justice and equality—the peo ple ol the South shooid take the matter into their own hands, and by firm, united and enlightened consideration of the difficulty, and by calm ex pression of tbeir views and determination, endeav or before it be too late to bring those who would destroy this Union to pause in tlieir mad career, and by that means restore that repose which the country so much needs. Therefore Resolved, That tbe territories are common prop erty ol alj the people of the United States, and equity and justice all who desire should emigrate thither with any species of property, ^without let or hindrance, and that it is the duty of Congress to pass all laws necessary for an equal and jus! parti cipation in the public domain.
