Havana, July 1.—Sugar—Since our last repert, the ‘ices of Sugar in our market have maintained about same position on the whole, and we have to con- tinue our last quotations. Planters have exhibited a good deal of firmness throughout the season, and have not yielded to so great an extent as might have been anticipated. Under the particular circumstances which have been influencing the course of mercantile fairs this year, the news from Europe naturally pro- duce more fluctuations in our prices than under an ordinary state of things, and our market is thereby subjected to constant agitations and variations as the intelligence is more or less favorable. Our quotations are: Assorted kinds, 5 8 a 63¢ 934 rials; ordinary Whites ‘ig a 1% rials; good to choice Whites, 8 rior and florete Yellows, 5% a 6% rial ne Yellows, 4 a 5 rials; Browns, 3% a 3% rials; Cucuru. chos, 2a 3 rials. Freights—T'wo Americans vessel were chartered at £2178 6d for Cowes and a market, and one for Genoa at £3. For Spanish and English vessels, £3 15s a £4 has been paid for Cork and @ mar ket and for direct English ports; and one was taken at £4 6s to load at Matanzas for Great Britain, For the United States 87igc to $100 has been paid for box Sugar, and $450 a $500 per hhd for Sugar. The rates for Molasses are nominal. Ex- change—Large amounts have been sold on London at 13 cent premium, and some transactions oc- curred tos moderate extent at 14 per cent. We may quote New York and Boston at lal}¢ percent dis- count, with very little inquiry. Flour, American, $15; do Spanish, $13 aba $14 per bbl. Lumber, Bath, per 1000 feet, $20 a $21; do Portland, do do, $19 a $26; do F.P. do do $15 a $22. S. A. jerked boef per arr 8 a 1034 ; United States, do do 13's 143478. Barwoxton, Barnavos, June 24, 1848.—The present month has been particularly marked by a continuance of favorable weather, and the progress of reaping is fast drawing toa close. A great deal of sugar has been put into hogsheads, and many estates have closed thelr crops. ‘The remnant of the old crop is not in much request, and can be had for $250 per cwt.; mo- lasses 15c a16c per gallon; rum 200 per gallon; yams $250 a 8 per 100 1b; potatoes 80c per 100 1b. It is wor- thy of notice, that an immense quantity of starch is being manufactured from the Pous-les Moise plant and readily commands $15 per cwt. American Produce—The supply of flour om hand is small, and no doubt will advance; at present it fetches but $7 25: corn meal $2 70, and dull; yellow corn 90 a 100c per bush; black eyed ‘peas $1 25; Carolina rice, $5 50; crackers $4 pilot bread $3 50; navy do $48 450; pork $11 «12; hams $1250; butter—last sale, 50 kegs at 240 per lb; lard 10c: cheese 10 a 12%; white Pine lumber $15 26 per M.. red oak staves £45 1850 per 200; tobacco leaf $74 8 per 100 1b, and manufactured do $809, Exchange on London—nothing doing.— Correspondence of Phil.

Wasuimaron, July 12, 1848, Branch Mint nt New York—A Bill Reported for its Establishment—The Commissioner of Patents—4 guished Visiter, $c. A bill to establish a branch of the Mint of the United States, at New York, was, to-day, reported by Mr. Ni- coll, from the Committee of Ways and Means, and, on his motion, referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. We are glad that this gentle- man has at length been enabled to bring the measure prominently before the House, and will rejoice the more should it be passed during the present session. Unfor- tunately, the importance of a branch mint at New York is not sufficiently appreciated by those living afar off from the great emporium. It is » mistaken ides to suppose that this bill’concerns New York alone; it interests the entire country. There, at least, nine- tenths of the foreign coin is imported and brought by emigrants; and it seems +elf-evident that a mint, to coin the specie into our own money ought to be at the place where the material is tobe found. Had sucha mint been in existence during the past year, it is cer- tain that the specie would not have so readily flowed back to the old countries, because every one knows that exchange must be at a much higher rate before it will ay to ship American coin, The benefits accruing from Pedping e specie in the country, affecting us they do the prosperity of all classes, need net be enlarged upon. It costs something for transporting the foreign coin to the Philadelphia mint to be Americanized, and back egain to New York; and there are innumerable considerations which imperatively call for the passage of the bill. Dr. Clinton, an examiner in the Patent Office, some time since, preferred charges against the Commissioner, bee the Fauee’ of fi) ues States; among other things, t! ir. Burke paid a gentleman belo to the Smith family for services never rendered, ee. bing the fund. This afternoon an examination was to have taken place before the Solicitor of the Treasury d one of the comptrollers, Mr. Parrish, The doctor has memorialized Congress’ on the subject, and the Committee on Patents are looking into the matter. ‘The grand jury also has been appealed to, and a pam- phlet is to be published giving the whole story. ‘Thus the Commissioner is receiving from the doctor the largest description of aliopathic doses, Sr. Atocha, the friend of Santa Anna, the bearer of despatches from our government to that of Mexico, and who figured extensively in secret Mexican affairs, has arrived in the city. ‘The hair upon his upper lip has grown considerably since he was last here. He had Jarge claims against Mexico, which are now as- sumed to the United States, and his present visit may be to put into his pocket “the indemnity for the past.”? A gentleman who frequently visits the lobby of the House, this morning perpetrated the following cruel conundrum:— * Why is General Cass so much opposed to peace?” “ Because he is belly-cose.”” ‘The victualling department of the democratic can- didate is extraordinarily capacious, and more so than any one suspected before he avowed his willingness to allow the entirety of Mexico. FELIX. Baxtrorg, July 14, 1848. The News from France—Conviction of a Fire Rioter, Sc. The exciting news from France absorbs gene- ral attention in this city, to the exclusion of almost every other matter. ‘The train of cars from Cumberland last night, brought the sad intelligence of two men having been killed on the road, near Ellicott’s Mills—one by a burthen train, and the other by the passenger train. It is a difficult matter always to obtain the particulars of an accident on any of our roads, there always being an attempt made to smother them; consequently, I only know that two men were killed. a Grieskein, the fire rioter, who shot Anthony Hughes, has been convicted of murder in the se- cond degree. I heard yesterday that the prisoner confesses the verdict to have been a just one, cones the evidence was too positive to admit of a doubt. Puiwavecruia, July 14, 1848. The Foreign News — Suicide — Discharge of Re- cruits, &c. The revolt in Paris, and the carnage occasioned in the streets of that populous city, are still the subjects of general conversation. A few, pro- fessing to class themselves among the intelligence of this community, have actually arrayed them- selves as the champions of the insurgents, and condemn with great violence all who disagree with them. One of these Don Quixottes com- menced an argument upon the subject last evening, and so far forgetting himself as to use insulting personalities towards his antagonist in the war of words, was ousted from the office in which the scene transpired, and rolled out upon the pave- ment. A suit for assault and battery has been commenced this morning in consequence. A German baker, August Norndorff, was found early this morning in the cellar of the house in which he resided, No. 437 Vine street, lying dead, with his throat awfully gashed, and a razor lying beside him. He had been melancholy for some time, in consequence of ill success in his business, and he is supposed to have been induced to com- mit suicide in consequence. He leaves a wife, to whom he was but recently married. j. The recruits that have for some time past been stationed at Fort Mifflin, have been discharged, and returned to the city yesterday. A detachment of recruits for the marme corps designed for service in California, passed through here to-day, on their way to New York, from Phi- ladelphia. THIRTIETH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasninaron, July 12, 1848. DEBATE CONTINUED ON THE WILMOT PROVISO. After the miscellancous business of the morning hour, the Senate resumed the consideration of the Oregon bill, the general question being upon the Wilmot pro- viso, as embraced in the 12th section of the bill, and upon the various amendments proposed in addition to, in modification. Mr. Jerrenson Davis, of Mississippi, took the floor in defence of the amendment, which.he had moved, to the 12th section, to wit — “ Provided, that nothing in this net sha'l be so construed as to probibit the introduction of slavery into said territory, whilst the same shall remain in that condi tion.” Mr. Davis, remarking at the outset of his argument, the magnitude and portentous aspect of the question before the Senate and the country, and the imminent danger which it threatens to the Union, said that his amendment has not an express provision for the establishment of slavery in Oregon; but a simple de- claration of the equal rights of the States of the South to a participation in the benefits of the settlement and occupation of the territories of the Union. The 12th section proposes the utter exclusion of slavery from Oregon. If Congress passed such a law, it would be the first act ever consummated limiting the extension of slavery, without some corresponding concession on the partof the North. The ordinance of 1787 was a compromise—the Missouri settlement was a com- promise. In both instances the compact was the result of concessions on both, sides. ‘This act dispenses with all necessity of concession, and assumes the dictato- rial prerogative in behalf of one section of the Union to preseribe the terms and limitations under which the South shall continue to remain in the Union, Mr. Davis pleaded that the eonstitution conferred no power to Congress to exclude slavery from the tervitories on the Union, slaves being property, and property is admissable everywhere, The South demanded good faith to the constitution. The North were pursuing a different polioy—boldly disre- garding the obligations of the constitution—ten States having passed resolutions against the farther exten- sion of the South, and three States having passed laws against the recovery of fugitive slaves, in direct infringement of the federal compact, The learned Senator took up a feeling and affectionate defence of Southern slavery, tracing the institution to Divine au- thority; going back to the curse pronounced by poor old Noah upon his son Ham, for laughing at the old man lying exposed in glorious obliviousness in the epen air, He deprecated the abolition excitement and the abo- lition movements in the North, as accomplishing no- thing for the good of the slave, and nothing but mis- chief for the Union. He spoke of the disasters that must follow the closing up, by an impassable barrier, the institution of slavery in the South, the dangers of immediate emancipation, and the necessity of « long reparation before the African, to his own safety, can e released. Mr, Davis closed, byan appeal for the bo Losi of his amendment, a speech of two hours du- ration. the stipulations of the ordi- and yoid, lam sorry to sing sung of ons fugitive sever, run: our fugitive slaves, wo furnished for thelt escape. If the Se: proof [ean produee it. | would refer to the late petition from Kentucky. Mr, Burue Mr. Canoun—Resolutions. They were referred to a committee, Kentucky went into Michigan after his fogitive slave. He proved his pro- perty, but was overpowered, and ac punished as for an offence, while his slave was taken away, and he was sent home without him. Mr. Firzoenatp appealed that there are some few abolitionists in Michigan, and they are occasionally guilty of acts which the people of the State regret very much, The people. however, were anxious to sustain Pe obligations of the ordinance and of the constitu- ion. Mr. Catnoun persisted in holding Michigan respon- sible for the great outrage referred to in the memorial and resolutions from Kentucky. ‘These outrages, how- ever, were not confined to Michigan—they extended to all the Northern States. THE SUPREME COURT. Mr. Conwin—I will ask the honrable Senator from South Carolina if the Supreme Court has not decided that the States cannot constitutionally pass any laws whatsoever on the subject of fugitive slaves? Mr. Carnoun—lI will let my colleagne answer that. He has had the subject under consideration, Mr. Burien stated the decision of the Supreme Court, the opinion of the Chief Justice, and the close division among the judges. While he concurred in the opinion of the Chief tice, he thought the deci- sion of the court most extraordinary, that a State had no authority to legislate on the snbject; and yet the decision was limited. Mr, Foore put in an inquiry as to the nature of the oas Mr. Butier referred toa statute of Pennsylvania, under which Southern master could not apprehend his slave except under the authority of the State laws ; der which he was required to act, were & y ot absolutely so. The Supreme Court de laws of Pennsylvania unconstitutional, and that the States had no authority in the premises. Mr. Catnoun further stated the application of the constitution. KIDNAPPERS. Mr. Corwin aaid that it was on account of this deci- sion of the Supreme Court, that Ohio hd repealed a law providing for the restoration of fugitive slaves. Mr, Burien inquired if that law was passed because of the visit of an extraordinary embassy to the Impe- rial Court of Ohio from Kentucky, appealing for some such measure to prevent the abduction of their slaves by citizens of Ohio? ‘Mr. Conwrn said, it was partly on this account, and partly because of the solicitude of Ohio to arrest the operations of the negro stealers coming over into Ohio for the express purpose of stealing negroes. The law was designed to give the free blacks some protes- tion, as well as to rest to the owners of slaves their roperty when proved to be such; for this thing of ea free negroes Is pretty extensively prac- tised by most, if not all, the Southern States. The Poe penitentiary afforded pretty strong proof of that fact. Mr. Cannoun—The gentleman shall not escape under the decision of the Supreme Court. ‘The ordi- nance of 1787, requiring the testoration of fugitive slaves, was adepted before the Constitution, Mr. Corwin considered that the Supreme Court was r the interpretation of the Consti- i their decision of the unconstitu- tionality of State laws in relation to fugitive slaves, was deomed by Ohio to demand the repeal of their laws for the restoration of such persons. Mr. Caunoun urged that the compact of the ordi- nance of °87 existed before the Constitution, and in- dependently of it, and that you cannot get round ii. ‘ir. Conwin contended that the Supreme Court is the arbitration of the powers, rights, and duties of the States under the constitution and under the ordi- nance Mr, CaLnoun—Still I cannot 1 the Senator off. ‘The constitution itself expressly, in the 6th section, maintains the obligations of the States under the or- dinance of 1787, and they expressly make it the duty ofthe States to surrender and restore to their owners their fugitive slave, THO QUESTION BEFORE THE SENATE. Mr. Bricnt inquired the extent of the motion of the Senator from Delaware, for the referenco of the bill, ke. toa select committee. Mr. Bernie explained. Mr. Briony desired that the whole subject matter relating to governments for the territories of Califor- nia and New Mexico, as well as of Oregon, be referred to the same committee. The committee on territories had made some progress in framing bills fox the new territories; but he would prefer that the main difficul- ty which applied to them, as well as to Oregon, be re- ferred to the select committee, together with every- thing appertaining to governments for the said ter- jes. THE FIRST CLEAR SPF.CK. Mr. Dickinson approved of the motion of the Senator from Delaware. It disclosed the first speck of clear sky that we have seen fora long time ; and _believi that it opened the way toa satisfactory adjustment, hoped it would be adopted. ir. Hace thought instead offclearing the sky, this motion was only calculated to throw a mist over it, You may talk ee wraiiod th on this subject; but it'ean’t be done. If we think that by a compromise here we shall settle the ‘ion, we shall find when we go home, that our constituents will have a question to settle with us. This matter, sir, does not admit of a compromise. Mr. Foote, I call the gentlemen to order. The chair decided the Senator was not out of order. HOW AnOUT NEW MEXICO? Mr. Hate, I will only detain the Senate a few moments, I am pleased to be called to order by a | Hear who sticks always so closely to the question imself (Ha, ba.) Mr. Hale desired a vote direotly upon these amendments before the Senate, wheth- er slavery should or should not go imto Oregon. He was oppored to any compromise en this question; and referred to the compromise in the Texas apnexation, as not touching an inch of Texas, but as running across New Mexico, which did not come into the occupation of tho United States till conquered by Gen. Kearny. Mr. Rusx would answer all that at the proper time. Mr. Hate referred to the maps, and to The conquest: and government established in New Mexico by Gen. Kearny, as proof that that territory did not belong to Texas; and even by running the Missouri compromise through that territory, Santa Fe and all the territory worth anything, will be south of the line. Mr. Rusx did not rely upon the maps. Texas had rounder claims. According to the maps, all Texas, down to the treaty, belonged to Mexico up to the jabine. Mr. Hate—Well, then, I refer the Senator to the President's messages. ‘Mr. Rusx—Our claim does not depend either upon the maps or upon the President’s messages. Mr. Hate resumed, in opposition to the committee and to the compromi! Mr. Butter spoke earnestly in favor of the commit- ndof the ity, from the dangers to the Union, tling this question at the present session of Con- o gress. GIVE BACK THE TERRITORY. Mr. Hae said there was one compromise to which he would assent. He would agree to compremise the matter by giving back to Mexico every inch of territo- ry we have acquired of her; let us tell Mexico to take it all back forthwith, as it is but a bone of contention. He was unwilling to a compromise which contemplated the assent of this government to the extension of hu- man slavery. No, SIR. Mr. Foorx replied, denouncing the idea of giving back the territory as absurd in the extreme; denounc- ing Mr. Hale as affiliated with such men as Henry C. Wright, whose avowed object was to break down this Constitution and this Union. Surrender this valua- ble territoryj! No, sir; never. He was decidedly in favor is the motion for a committee, and argued in its support. Ir. Cayton defined his position to be on the borders SPECIAL COMMITTER. Mr. Crayton thought it was time that the se of the Senate was ascertained in some way on this subd- ject. The territorial committee, if they knew what to do, were ready toact. Ona former occasion @ com- mittee of members from all sections was appointed, who were enabled te ascertain and report upon the sense of the body. He saw no other plan by which the Senate can now come to any early determination. He would move, therefore, the appointment of a com- mittee of eight members, to be appointed by ballot— four from the North, and four from the South—two of each party to each branch of the committee ; add that to said general committee the bill and all the amend- ments proposed be referred, and that they report upon the same for i action of the Senate sition of th Mr. Foote y approved of the proposition of the distinguished Senator from Delaware, Tad hoped it would be adopted by the Senate ; but if the committee should come to no conclusion, he hoped the Senate would yet be able to settle the (question before the adjournment, and was pepiee to give his best exer- ‘tainment of this object. tions to tl MR, CALHOUN CALLED Ur Mr. FitzGxnann, of Michigan, ealled the attention of Mr, Calhoun to his printed speech in fall, in_ this morving’s Intelligencer ; ands sted that the Sena- tor had done injastice to n in his general charges against the Norther , aiding and abet- ting the escape of Southern slaves from the Southern States. Mr, Cannows could not exclude Michigan from the re charge against the Northern States. If sho jas parced no laws against us, she has passed none for | of Mason and Dixon’slino—his great object to bean amicable adjustment of this diffleulty—hence, the motion he had made, He would be glad if this ques- t on could be settled now, but thought it could be judi- cieusly postponed till after the Presidential election, THREE TIMES. Mr. Have rose again. Mr. Westcorr—I raise a point nf order, No Sena- tor shall speak more than twice ou the same day on the same question, and the Senator from New Hampehire has spoken three times. Mr. Hare—Only twice, sir. Question put. Mr. Hale allowed to go on. Mr. Hare rose to answer the charge that he is affi- liated with that class of abolitionists who seek to des- troy the constitution and the Union. Mr. Foote rote to explain. ; Mr. Wesrcorr, (aside)—There—there, we shall have it again Mr. Burcer, (aside)—Can’t you stop them * Mr. Westcort—No; I want to have aspeech myself, by and by. Mr. Hae —I am sorry if my remarks give pain to the Senator from Florida. Mr. Westcotr—Very much, very much, I assure ou. 7X vorce—I would like to have a chaniee at him Mr. Hate—The sensitiveness of the Senator satisties me that he is originally from the North, Going ot length in reply to Mr. Foote, A HALE STORM Mr. Foote asked ff the gentleman was not the ceham- pion of the abolitionists in the North, and does he not expect to be nominated by the Buffalo convention? If he is,we shall have a Hale-storm with ® vengeance hi ‘hat depends altogether upon how it is footed-up. sta Rrosened to show that he did not belong to th mry E Wright faction, but to the con- servative abolitionists, who wished to preserve tho Union by falling back upon the old platform of the constitution. i ‘With some further conversation between Mr. Foote and Mr. Hale, Mr. Westcott tookthe floor.
