The Union this morning has a carefully prepared article upon “ The Supreme Court of the United States,” in which it is very clearly demonstrated that if the courtcannot promptly clear its docket, it is not the fault of the judges, bat it results naturally from the extraordinary system whioh the !aw requires it to administer. The business before the Court has increased enormously with the growth of the country. ‘No judicial tribunal on earth administers such & multitude of laws so widely differing in their ebaracter. Upon no one is imposed so much investigation and labor. The Uxzon mentions the following modes of relief as amongst those suggested, but does not commit itself in favor of any one of them: 1. Torelieve the Judges of the Supreme Court from circuit duties, and require them to devote their whole time to cases in bans. Il. To p.obibit appeals and writs of error in cases where less than five or ten thousand dolla 8 are in controversy. III. Not to allow the review of any case, except where the constitution, laws and treaties of the Waited States, or the laws of nations, or admiralty law, are involved IV. The establishment of an inferior court, to Teview and finally determine certain classes of cases, like those arising upon contract, except those called maritime, and upon patents for use- ful inventions, and leaving only the residue for the Supreme Court. To cut off a considerable portion of the jurisdic- tion of the district and circuit courts, and thereby lessen the number of cases which can be removed to the Supreme Court. leaving the State tribunals a wider field of action; es, for instance, to ex- elude from the jurisdiction of tbe national courts cases arising upon ordinary contracts, or growing out of patents, &e The Unio, in reprinting the inaugural ad- dress of the Barl of Derby on assuming the Premiership. thizks the following sentence in it sounds vastly like an American sentiment “We live in an ave of constant progress, social and political. in times when art and science were making rapid strides_and when intelligence is Inore and more widely ditfased.” The Incellizencer has a full budget of news matter and correspondence, but no editorial. to-day. ton, also from the puk- lishers, we have Godey’s I.ady’s Book for April Godey bas been the standard in its line for twen- ty-eizbt years, and shows no indication of losing ground. “Long may it wave,’ say we, and echo the la : UP To J Shillington, avd Taylor & Maury, we are indebted for a copy of Harper’s Magazine for April. It abounds in illustrations—spirited, bu- morous and all sorts. Another instalinent of Thackeray’s “Virginians”? is given, in which, doubtless, to the disappointment of the critics, the name of Washington does not appear, the scent having been shifted to England See eee ee eae Ul There was a still further decline in the price of beef cattle at Bull’s Head, New York, on Wednesday morning, although the number in market was not as great as on the previous Wed- nesday, yet quite enough, or in fact more than enough to supply the demand ; so that the price Was not ouly actually lower per pound for the beef, but the market was very dull, and very few cattle sold at prices equivalent to anything over ten cents 4 pound for first-class beef. ‘The suf- fering peopie” will be very glad to hear that the butchers have drtermined not to charge, in fu- ture, over 100 per cent. profit. —————— ee Tar Quarrece oF THe Canccxs.—The Cana- dians are quarreling—the East with the West— and are threatening to dissolve the Canadian Union. Canada East demands equal representa- tion with Canoda West, which the latter, being the most populous, will not agree to. The pres- ent ministry is kindly disposed toward Canada East, because that province gives it the basis of its support in the Provincial Parliament; and as the contest now stands, the advocates of an equality in representation are not likely to suc- ceed. The fight waxes warm, both in Parliament and in the press. i> Advices fron: the capital of Mexicoto the 6th instant represent the country to be in a most deplorable condition, indeed, ina state of actual anarchy. The Extraordinary says that robbery sneceeds robbery upon the public highways in such rapid succession that merchants will soon be forced to suspend entirely bringing goods to the capital. It says it is almost impossible to conceive the real condition of things, much less to convey any just idea of what it isto persons at a distance. The Zuloago government seems to be absolutely powerless to establish order. It bad made a forced levy to secure soldiers, and for this porpose was seizing upon servants as they issue from the houses of their employers. Zulo- ago, itappears, has appointed Governors to the States, districts and cities, but the appointees were utterly unable to assume their functions, and do not dare even to attempt to. ‘The Juarez, or federal government was at Guadalajara, ard ite friends report that the States of the interior are combined to overthrow that of Zuloaga. The forces of the latter, it was supposed, would soon attack the State of Vera Cruz. Two diligene- robbers were executed at Ac atin;;o on the {tb ul- tmo.

Tne Cavse or Anti-Stavery.—The Aboli- tionists of Congress (under whatever different party names they seek to be known) are just now in great glee over what they believe to have been the effect of the speech of Senator Crittenden, in strengthening the cause of Abo- litionism as that is to be involved in the next Presidential election. In few words, they think that the boldness with which Mr. Crit- tenden has come to the rescue of their purpose of defeating the admission of Kansas into the Union with a pro-slavery constitution, has nerved two American party representatives, of whose assistance they previously despaired, to stand with them to the bitterend. We allude to Messrs. Underwood of Kentucky, and Gil- mer of North Carolina. They do not yet hope that Mr. Gilmer will go the whole hog for them, as they certainly count on Mr. Underwood's doing,—reckoning without their host in his case. we trust—but that he will pertinaciously vote with and for their cause upon every inci- dental question arising in the consideration of the Senate's Kansas State bill, whereon he can possibly so vote without enabling his constitu- ents to comprehend at a glance the fact that he is effectively playing for the sake of thwarting the Democratic party, to make Kansawa non- slaveholding State. It would astound the constituents of the Hon. Mr. Gilmer to hear the familiar conver- sations of the red-mouthed Abolitionists now in this city, wherein they speculate upon the service to their cause they hope and calculate Mr. Gilmer will render in the current Kansas contest. They argue that though not ventur- ing to vote against the admission of Kansas into the Union on the Lecompton Constitution on the final question, he can and will aid them to the bitter end, by voting with them upon every preliminary question, which, if carried against the Lecompton Constitution cause, will operate to secure its eventual defeat. For our part, we entertain no such poor opinion of Mr. Gilmer. who is a very emphatic and outspoken gentleman, as to believe that the Abolitionists are eorrect in congratulating themselves on having bagged him—body and breeches—for the furtherance of their ends. We prefer to await the developments of his course when the bill comes down from the Senate Tar Retired Navy Orricers.—We feel it to be our duty to recommend earnestly to the officers who hope to be restored to active duty in the service under the operation of the law recently enacted by Congress, to leave the President entirely free to make up hisjudg- ment on their respective cases from the record. without permitting their friends to importune him with political or personal appeals. En- compassed as he is just now with important questions of State, he can have little time to bestow on visitors who may call on him to af- fect the decision of questions which it is his duty to decide wholly as the record may re- quire. The bill contemplates that he shall right any possible wrongs done by the late courts mar- tial, and leaves him, entirely unprejudiced and unaffected as he is to be by the result of his own action in the premises, to determine in what cases the courts may possibly have made erroneous decisions. We feel assured, from what we learn, that personal applications on the part of the friends of Navy officers inter- ested, or on the part of any such officer himself, will only have the effect of operating unfavor- ably on his case; and therefore, for their own sakes, we give them this caution.

Lieut. Morton, corps of engineers, has been dired to report to the Secretary of the Treasury for light-heuse duty. Faise Revort.—We learn from an offic source that the paragraph which has been going the rounds that the Interior Department has made arrangements for the purchase of Bur- ton’s theatre, in New York city, for the pur- pose of holding the United States Courts there- in, is not correct. Proposals are before the Secretary offering the theatre named to the Government, but no decision has yet been made as to their acceptance. Ws. Haypy, Ese.—-A large number of our readers in all quarters of the country—those transacting business with the Treasury Depart- ment especially—will be glad to learn of the promotion of Mr. Wm. Handy to the position made vacant by the death of the late lamented Major Barker. Mr. Handy has carned his good fortune fairly by long, faithful and valuable labors in the Department.

In THE Senate, yesterday, after Mr. Toombs: closed his able argument in defence of the Kane sas bill, Mr. Crittenden replied brief: to some of Mr. L..’s comments on his speech of the previous day. Ir. Bell then made a very elaborate speech fn opposition to the admission of Kansas, in the course of which he took very derided grounds, and made use of earnest remonstrances against the bill The Senate took a recess from 4 till 7 o'clock, p.-m., and then Mr. B. occupied over four hours of the session Mr. Foster obtained the floor when the Senate adjourned In tHe House, Mr. Savage was followed by Mr. Washburne, of Me., who opposed the biil for the Increase of the Army. Mr. Qnitman proposed an amendment to bis dill, to supply an omission. Mr. Faulkner offered his bill as a substitate for the foucih, fifth and sixth sections of the bill from the Committee. Mr. Smith, of Il, favored the increase of the Arimy, and was ready to grant the request of the President, or to vote for a volunteer force. He thought the effectiveness of the two classes of soldiers, volunteers and regulars, about parallel, but believed a combination of the two prefer- able Mr. Blair advocated the bill reported by the Committee. He thonght it essential that the Government should send to Utah a large force, as it would thereby overawe the Mormons, and bring them at once into submission. The previous question was called for by Mr. (Quitman, and on its pene sustained he replied to the arguments against bis bill The House then adjourned without taking the question, Preceedings of To-day. In Tue Senate, to-day, the Vice President submitted resolutions from the Leyislature of New Mexico, suggesting certain changes in the proposed boundary of the Territory of Arizona. Mr. Seward presented a memorial from Dixon, N_ Y., praying that steps be taken for the prompt and pacific extinction of slavery, by the General Government remunerating the slaveholders Also, a joint resolution from the New York Legislature, urging the adoption of measures for the better protection of emigrant trains on their way to the Pacitic coast All the above were appropriately referred Mr. Gwin’s resolution submitted yesterday, aiking the Secretary of War if any provision bas been made for the detecting and punishing the Indians, or others, who massacred one bun- dred and eighteen California emigrants at Moun- tain Medows, Utah, was adopted. ‘The consfderation of the Kansas bill was then resumed. Mr. Foster opposed the bill. He first took oc. easion to comment briefly in reply to Mr. Ham mond as to the relative power of the North and South. He deprecated the power of * Cotton,’* which Mr. H. had alluded to as giving the South 4 preponderance in point of wealth, power and influence. The reian of this + Cotion King’? be deemed a mistake, and attributed the origin of its power to the inventive genius of a gentleman of Connecticut. He then proceeded to declaie the Lecomption constitution as the effspring of illegal proceeding in Kansas Ix tHe Hovse, the Speaker announced that he had appointed Messrs. Florence, Maclay, Gil- man. Scales and Walden the committee to nves- tigate the truth of the allegation that 225,000 had. been given to effect the sale of the banking bouse of the Bark of Pennsylvania for a Post Office in Philadelphia, rumor having associated high offi- cers of the Government with the transaction The House resumed the consideration of the Army bill Mr. Faulkner, from the minority of the Com- mittee on Military Affairs, hed offered an amend- ment, viz: in effect to retain that part of the bi!l pio 1g for the organization of a regiment of monut d volunteers for the defence of the frontier of Texas, but, instead of authorizing the Presi- dent to accept the services of four regiments of volunteers, for the purpose of quelling disturb- ances in Utah, and for the protection of the sup- ply and emigrant trains, and the suppression of Indian bostilities on the northern and northwest- ern frontiers, to add to the present military es- tablishment one regiment of dragoons and two Tegiments of infantry, to serve for two years. _— amendment was rejected—yeas 43, nays Mr. Quoitman’s bill was then ordered to be en- et for a third reading by a vote of—yeas 28, nays 74. . ° As our ieport went to press, the question was being taken on the original Army bill of Mr. Quitman, and the voting indicated its passage by a considerable majority. “S> NOTICK.— the quarterly meeting of Union Wesley Church, ov 23.1 street, wiil take piece on st Y, the Zist in A general colleetion will be taken upat each appointment for support of the Station.
