Steamsnir Hermann.—Tue Quickest Passace on Recorpv.—We have not been able, from the crowded of our paper, to allude to the last rapid pas- performed by this beautiful vessel from this city toSouthampton. According to accounts from all sides, it is the quickest ever made. Her running time was 11 days and 20 hours, whieh, allowing the differ- ence in space between New York and Southampton to be 169 miles farther than to Liverpool, beats, by some hours, the famous passage made a few weeks since by the America, The passage ‘of the America was per” formed in something over ten days from Boston to Li- verpool. The English papers are forced to acknow- ledge the beat, and the London Times owns up in the following liberal paragraph from its correspondent, dated Southampton, July 3:— “The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's ship Her- mann, Captain E. Crabtree, arrived in Co+es i Isle of Wight, at alate hour last night, with the United States mails for Great Britain, France and Germany. | “The Hermann left New York on the evening of the 20th June, and was off the Needles, at 5 P. M., yester- day, waiting for a pilot; consequently her voyage has been performed in the extraordinary short apace of 11 days and 21 hours, a shorter length of time than occu- pied by the America, which was the quickest on re- cord from New York. The passengers have presented Captain Crabtree with a very gratifying testimonial te the excellent performance of the vessel.”” Many letters have been received here from the pas- sengere, exceedingly complimentary to the ship and her officers, one of which we give below. It is worth the perusal of travellers and all interested in steam- ships:— Livenroot, July 5, 1848, ‘You will be pleased to hear of the rapid trip of the | Hermann to the Needles, in 11 days and 20 hours run- | ming time, and never have [crossed the ocean before | with so much comfort to myself. The passengers were all delighted and satisfied, so far as I could discover, with every effort made for their accommodation. A Liberal eupply of good things was provided, and the | only remarks I heard at any ti were that some | dishes were not well cooked. Some people, you know, at sea bave very fastidious stomachs, and if they live | better than they do at home, they cannot always ap- preciate the luxury nor make due allowance for their own peculiarities. “For myself and party, however, we were thoroughly satisfied, and I only hope I can soar- | range my affairs here as to return with her. Of the performances of the ship, they were every way | admirable, and accounts will be sent to the company much morein detail than Ican furnish them. The | machinery worked well, and I believe the engines were | not stopped but ence, after leaving Sandy Hook,till our arrival off the Needles. The engineer heard’ noise in the starboard cylinder which he did not like, on the 7th day out, took off the head, and found » screw had | been left in’ there, which had worked in among the packing. This removed, we went bounding oo our course at 123; knots per hour. I cannot speak too highly of the vigilance, care and ability of the chief engineer and his assistants, All felt the importance of making a good and safe trip over, and as, day by day, we felt sure of its ng quick, a general enthusiasm pre- Yailed with all on board,’ . ‘We were much diseappointed, however, on arriving at the Needles to get no pilot, and after using all the means we bad to call them out, the captain most gallant. ly took us into Cowes. The night looked very thr ening—the wind and rea increasing—and, being #0 near our destination, every one felt anxious to get in. 80 our news up to London during the night.

(Loud approbation.) Phe President then announced that the representa- tives were to be present the next day under the peris- tyle of the palace to pass in review the National Guards from the country. Sittine oy Weonesvay, June 28, At the commencement of the sitting the President proposed the following proclamation, which was voted with acclamation:— TO THE FRENCH PROPLE “Frenchmen!

Hackstaff, is now in her fourteenth day, and must, therefore, be near our city. We shall publish her news im- mediately after it reaches us. Oficial Account of the Paris Insurrection The French National Assembly. We publish in another part of this day’s paper, a full and authentic report of the proceedings of the French National Assembly, during the four days of the memorable insurrection of last month. It is exceedingly interesting, and gives a graphic picture of the scenes that took place there at that period. This, together with our Paris correspon- dence, make the history of that extraordinary event complete, and 18, like the correspondence, worthy of being preserved. We perceive that the government have abolish- ed the national work-shops. This we conceive to be an excellent movement, and will be a guaraty of orderand quiet. The workmen must be con- vinced that all the benefits of republican govern- ment are not to be monopolised by them, and that other portions of the people are entitled to their share. The proceedings of the National Assembly re- semble very much those of the House of Represen- tatives at Washington, as can be seen by comparing them together. It is in vain that our readers will look in any other paper tor them. The New York He- rald is the only paper that publishes our own Con- gressional proceedings, or those of the French Na- tional Assembly. Ferry Boat Acciwents.—How many more col- lisions are to take place with the ferry boats, on the East and the North rivers, before public indig- nation is sufficiently aroused to compel the autho- rities to take proper measures for the public safety 1 How many more hecatombs of citizens are to be offered up, before any decided action is resolved upon? In all probability, we must wait till afew Aldermen have their paunches stove in, or till a whole boat full of people are consigned to a watery grave, ere corporate energy is awakened to the propriety of enforcing the laws which exist, or of adopting more stringent ones, for the protection of the community. We should think, however, that the last fertnight has furnished an abundance of accidents, as all these collisions are commonly termed, to induce them to try, at least, if they cannot diminish their number, and quiet the excitement into wnich they have naturally thrown the public mind. We had scarcely recovered from the alarm oc- casioned, a fortnight since, by the collision of the steamer Oregon aad the Hoboken ferry boat, Fairy Queen—by which the latter was sunk, and her thirty passengers had a narrow escape from being drowned—ere we were again startled by the col- hision of the Williamsburg ferry boat, tlte Walla- bout, and one of the Fulton boats, in consequence of which the former had the ladies’ cabin stove in; one gentleman lost his life; and several others had their legs broken and backs severely injured. On Thursday last, the Catharine street and Brook- lyn ferry boat, the Independence, was run into by asloop, just forward of the wheel-house, when a child was killed, a man’s arm was broken, and some of the passengers were obliged to jump over- board to save their lives. It is not our purpose to express any opinion on what side the blame of each of these collisions 1s justly chargeable; but that negligence or earelessness, on some side or other—perhaps on both—has occasion- ed them, as they generally do all occurrences of “a similar nature, must be evident to any one who ex- amines the circumstances of each case. Now, if there was a proper deodand law in force, we ven- ture to say that one-tenth of these collisions would never take place. In some cases they arise froma penurious economy, which prevents a sufficient number of hands being employed, the consequence of which is that a proper “look out” is never kept. In other cases they are attributable to the incom- petence of those in charge of the vessels. As a money argument, then, is the only one like- ly so produce the desired effect, we would earnest- ly call the attention of the legislature to the sub- ject, that this growing evil may be put down, and some guaranty given to the community that it 1s possible to cross our ferries without endangering our lives on the passage. Arrival or THE StsaMsuir Crescent Crty.— This beautiful vessel has just completed her se- cond voyage, and one of the most profitable, per- haps, ever performed by a steamship. Her list of passengers 16 extraordinarily large—numbering 463, of whom 245 were first class; besides a good freight list, she brings over $200,000 in specie. We understand that every berth on board had been en- gaged long before her arrival at New Orleans, and that large numbers came on board previous to her sailing, and remained without a hope of even be- ing accommodated with a bed. Her accounts from New Orleans are one day later than received by mail. She returns on the Ist of August, via Havana. Sporting ence, Trotting, Pacina, anv Peoestaianism.—The com- ing week will bea busy one among the sporting folks. To-day, at the Centreville, there will be a meeting be- tween Jaa, K. Polk and Lady Suffolk, two mile beats, the former to two hundred and twenty pound wagon, and the latter to harness, After which, # foot-race Will take place. The race between Polk and Suffolk, from the manner the hors fs haudioapped, will be a splendid affair, one well worth witnessing, On Tues- day and Wednesday, there will also be @ variety of trotting matches on the above course, the particuiars of which are announeed in the advertisement, (rl '. We received yesterday morning, a further telee graphic report of the interesting debate in the Senate on Saturday, on the territorial bill. The dis- patch cont»ining the report, reached Philadelphia. from Washington, on Saturday, but the electricity in the atmosphere prevented its transmission to this city. It will be seen that Messrs. Clayton, Niles, Dickinson, Phelps, Corwin, Calhoun, and- others, participated in the debate, an abstraet of which will be found below, and will be read with. considerable interest.

Fifty letters, refused by General Taylor, have been received at the dead letter office trom Baton Rou Several of them are post marked Phila- delphia and Baltumore, THIRTIETH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Wasuinaton, Jul; Ses Tom, July 28; ‘The Senate met at the usuul hour. The Viee Presi- dent tovuk the chair, and calied to order, * Several petitions were preseuted. among which was one by Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, from eitisens of Philadelphia, in favor of an am»ndment to the Terrie torial Bill. giving permission to people of color residing in Oregon to vote. THE TERRITORIAL BILL. The territorial bill was takem up ac half-past eleven o’olosk. Mr. Crayton explained the various sections, and said he would not discuss the merits of the bill, compromise agreed upon, it was believed, would meet the approval of the Senate. The reoson why the, South had preferred it tathe Missouri compromise was, that the latter gave @ very smail proporuion of inha- Ditable territory to the South. ° Mr, Nives enquired what was the compromise of the dill? Does it afford the power to Congress of upon the question of slavery in the territories! Mr. C.ayton said that the bill neither affirms it nor dirafirme it. It refers the subject to the highest judl- cial tribunal in the country. Mr. Nies—That amounts to just nothing at all, ‘The whole question has beeu surrendered to the de- mands of the Mr. Carnou: /e power. We claim nothing for slavery—no- thing, at all; only ask an adherence to the Constitution. It is only upon this common basis that the Union be preserved. We wish to maintain harmony among all the membere—it is only by hare mony we can maintain the Union. Mr. Dickinson rose, but gave way te Mr. Nixes, who said it was tue tirst time he had’ heard fo satisfactory a declaration by the Senator from South Carolina. If bis remarks are to be taken liter- ally, there is no subject of controversy. He had thought that the South had claimed the right to earry: their tlaves to all the territo: But, sir, (said Mr. N) by this declaration of acommon basis, are not free roll. free labor, and free principtes, in all our in- stitutions, implied? Yer, sir, but I a hend it means something else ; it means « punctilio of ine- quality in the doctrina of free soil 2 ht see no inequality at all, sir. The laws by whieh. this slave Property, an it is called, may be restrieted, will be uniform ; and whatever rules of property will apply to one section, will apply to all. Mr. Dicxinson stated the difficulty of the former de- bate, and in the objection to the relection of the eom- mittee to establish a compromise, the Senator from Connecticut had said that they who should go fora compromise, might find themselves burnt in effigy when they go home. | am not alarmed at that threat; people who can reason only by burning in effigy, are weleome to doit. I think the Senator. however, spoke more than was set down for him, wen he spoke of burning in effigy. Mr. D explained the purpose of the committee to conciliation and compromise, and warmly approved the bill. Mr. Nixes contrasted the bill with o late oh of Mr. Dickinson, in which he contended that Congress | had no pone over slavery in the territories. An@® what is this compromise? ‘It is no compromise at all. It dodges the question 1 every way ; it does nothing— it settles nothing—it amounis to nothing. than nothing. It leaves the question open; and there- is the great danger. These paltry schemes of avoidii the slavery question for # day or for # moment shrinking from the duty which we owe to the country— are, in my ‘humble judgment, un- worthy of the American Senate. The ter- ritory is free by the act of God, which created: it; and free by theact of man. and the half civilised: people who improved it, by the laws of frecdom, The question is, shall it remain so, or shall we directly or indirectly subvert the law of hi nm and maa, and open it to different institutions? The committee shrink from responsibility ; there cowardly visage on the face of the bill to get rid of the issue rubmities, to them. Mr. Dicxinson, alluding to a remark of Mr. Niles, said that he held it be no particular dishonor to be burned in effigy, as it was the report only of ruffans. and cowards ; therefure he apprenended no disgrace on that score. As regarded his position with bis oon- stituents, in the language of a book which, no doubt, the Senator from Connecticut had read, he would say tothe Senator: “ Who art thou that judgeth another man’s servant '—by his own judgment he standeth or- falleth.”” If the Senator call him to an account, he would render it to him, when the Senator shall have settled with bis owh censtituents. In the lai of the broker, if there was any thing over. Mr. Dickinson would draw on him for it. As fur himself; he did not shrink or dodge the question, unless the constitution dodges and is a coward. le approved of the bill with his whole heart. Mr. Coawin submittel a {ow observations, pros liminsry to asking whether the question of slavery could be brought by writ of error before the Suapreme- Court of the United states without previous legisia- tion on the subject? How is the value of w slave to be ascertained when we are told that there is “4 wag eA in man but to the value of his services? e value: is not two thou and dollars, is the question to be de~ cided by the judges appoiuted by the President ? Mr. Chaytox, in reply to a question, said that the committee thought, after full inquiry, that the people of the territories of California wud New Mexico were not capable of electing delegates to Congress. Mr. Conwin—Why are they rot ? Mr. Cuavton—They are too ignorant. Mr Puexes followedin reply to Mr. Corwin, and said the question, in the outst, was to be settled by the prope: judicial tribunal; it must rest with the Sue preme Court, where the constitution placed it, and: where it must be left It invoives a construction of the constitution of which Congres is not the eonstl- tutional expounder. I here tects thit it is worse of thecon- nd those guaranties will,of eourse, suporsede the local laws of the conquered territories. ‘The question can be brouxbt up before the Supreme Court on a writ of Aabeus corpus, and not as to the va- lue of the slave; where they have jurisdiction over the subject, they have jurisdiction over all the means to bring it before the court. Mr. Westcorr wished to know whether a certain clause in the bill prohibits the governor, secretary and the judges of Cabfornia from passing laws for tne pan- isbment of venal offences of slaves, olaes. Mr. Pures replied that what | all be must be uniform; ifa distinction be made between one class of people and another, thagp would be no limit to the power to be exercised. @ee for leaving the legitlative question where Congress placed it, Mr. CaLnoun tard that the object was not to decide the contested question here One side contends that that slavery caunot go into the territories according tothe constitution and laws of Mexico. The other tide take an opposite vie’ The committee did not Pretend to decide the question. Throughout the; oe eded on the ground that the eonstivution deel- ed it, M xs said he would like to know the opinion of of the majority; and he asked whether the committee, by establishing temporary governments, and giving them the power of local gevernment, exhausted juris- diction over the subject of slavery, or whether we may pass laws with reterence to slavery or other matters? Mr Barowin. after a few prelimnary remarks, said that his object in rising was for the purpose of striking out all that part of the bill which follows the twentieth section, so as to leave in it only so much as provides fora territorial government in Oregon, Mr. Hate said, that so far he understood the question, in the little State from which he cgme, the westion between the whig and democrat Was, who is the most orthodox on the Wilmot proviso? He stated some of the objections which he had to the bill, He would vote against it If we could have an honest, fair, judicial execution of the law, it wold not be very exceptionable; but hehad no confidence in the Su- me Court, because they wad gone into the free tates, and stricken down the writ of habeas corpus be neath the iron heel of slavery. The heart of the na tion is beating and throbbing with anxiety on this great question, and when we ore asked fer something to give peace and quivt to the people, what do the eom- mittee? Nothing. The Senator from Vermont (Mr. Phelps) recommends this bill, se it carries with it the laws of freedom ; and the Senator from South Caro- lina Md Calhoun) says—yes. take it, because it car» ries slavery ; and thore geutiemen so inform their re+ speetive constituencies. .
