THE VERY LATEST NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF EUROPE, RECEIVED BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH AND SPECIAL EXPRESS, ANI TELEGRAPHIC FROM BOSTON, Livexroon, July 20, Saturday Ev’g, 6 o'clock, France. We are in possession of our advices from Paris, of yesterday evening, from which we glean the following items of intelligence :— ‘There are at present confined in the prisons of Paris, implicated in the insurrection of June last, 8,990 hu- wan beings, of whom 8,815 are men, and 175 women. Of these, 590 men, and 13 women, are ill, and laid up n hospitals. M. Maguin had given notice of a motion on the subject of the foreign policy of the republic ; the deg bate thereon was fixed for Monday next, July Sist. The Committee on Foreign Affairs appointed, on Thursday last, the following representatives, to pre- pare reports on the principai questions which at this moment cecupy public opinion in Europe -— M. Droven de Luhye is te treat the Spanish question ; M.D'Aragon the affairs of Italy; M. Xavier Durrien will undertake those of Russia; M. Edmond Lafayette, Moldavia and Wallachia ; M. Jobee, Austria ard tie Sclave countries; ‘M. Passer, the German Confederation ; . de Wosin, eheren, Prust |. Puieagur, Egypt. The bill for regulating the clubs of Paris, &c., re- and Pruisian Poland; and cognized four descriptions of associations, each to be | differently dealt with. Clubs, properly so called, are to be public, and to be placed under the inspection of a magistrate. Secret associations are simply forbidden. Associations not public, and not having any political object, are merely required to make a declaration of their existence to the municipal authorities; and finally, associations not public, but im which political subjects are dis- cursed, will in fature be obliged to obtain permission to meet, from the authorities. The papers favorable to republican principles, ex- press dissatisfaction at the measure, because of its constituting, as they conceive, a permanent check vpon liberty. In this opinion, they seem justified, from the fact that there cau be no society without an express declaration of its oljects to the magistracy, and magisterial sanction. The committee of legislation considered, on Thurs- day, the important question of arrest for debt. The committee decided, that as the question was of a prese- ing nature, they would confine themselves to recom- mending simply that the decree of the Provisional Government, abolishing arrest for debt, should be re- voked.

England. Lonpvox, Saturday Noon , The Comander. in-Chief is very busily engaged in issu- °ng orders for the dispatch of every available soldier which can be spared from all the depots, to Ireland. A large number was sent off trom London last night, and e are leaving by several trains, to-day. From the Weedon Barracks several companies are leaving, for the same destination. Before the close of the week, it is said that 60,000 soldiers will be on duty in that coun- try. More ships, with ordnance stores, are ordered immediately to sail for Cork. Just before the departure of the steamer, a gentle- man of the European Times office arrived from a jour- ney through the principal agricultural counties of England, who found, from personal inquiry and obser- vation, that the failure of the potato crop exists toa considerable extent, and, in many districts, the own- ers are gathering them up for immediate sale, to pre- vent the entire loss, which is anticipated from their appearance.

We give, in our columns to-day, some further interesting intelligence from Ireland, France and other parts of Europe, as well as our special pri- vate telegraphic despatch, made up at the last mo- ment yrevious to the sailing of the steamship. Our nurration of the news by the telegraph, from Boston, on Sunday evening last, was so very full and complete, that we have but little to add to it; at least, we see but little worth extracting from the few papers which we received last evening How it occurred that the mails did not arrive last evening, we are ata loss todivine. The Acadia arrived at Boston, a distance of two hundred miles from New York, on Sunday about noon, and her mails will not arrive here until this, Tuesday, morning. And yet, we are credibly informed tha; they reached Boston, from the steamship, fifteen minutes previous to the departure of the New Ha- ven train yesterday, and no measures were taken to forward them to their respective destinations. To us the delay has been a matter of much in- convenience—to merchants it has not only been an annoyance, for it leaves them but a short time to receive and reply to their correspondence, but a positive detriment. Instead of being enabled to place before our readers, this morning, a full ac- count of the foreign news, and our copious corre- spondence from all parts of Europe; we can but give them a meagre synopsis, and even the tele- graphic summary of foreign news which we pub- lish to-day, had to be opened in Boston and trans- mitted to us over the wires. Thisis really very annoying, and we hope we shall not be called upon to record another instance of the kind. The mails, however, will, with good luck, ar- rive to-day, and with them our foreign files and letters from the continent. We shall endeavor to publish as much as possible of both, to-morrow, as well as some in the efternoon editions of the Herald to-day. Adjournment of Congress. The first session of the thirtieth Congress of the United States adjourned, sine die, pursuant to resolution, yesterday at twelve o’clock, for which act of mercy we are duly thankful. The session just passed has been of longer dura- tion than any that has been held in this country since the formation of ourgovernment. Throughow: the first part of it, Washington was extremely dull. For a long time there was nothing to disturb the ger eral ennui which prevailed, but the ratification of the treaty concluded by Nicholas P. Trist, on his own hook, in the freest, easiest, and most in- dependent manner possible, and for which merito- rious act, he returned a prisoner to the United States. By and by, the members became excited on the question of extending slavery to the newly acquired territories of New Mexico and Cali- fornia, as well as to Oregon ; which, after a long and exciting discussion, as regards the two first named regions, ended in an abortion, in every point of view.

As it was determined to go down to the gravel, itis dug very deep. Af- ter digging through various kinds of soil, chiefly clay, at 35 feet in depth, the workmen reached a the members made up for lost time towards the conclusion. The last few days of the session made amends, in excitement, for the languor of the first part. Our readers will find in to-day’s Herald the con- cluding scenes of the session, which we received by telegraph and mail last evening, and which are deeply and painfully interesting. Among the last acts which received the sanction of the represen- tatives of the people, was the House bill, extend- ing territorial jurisdiction over Oregon, and con- taining a provirion excluding for ever the insttu- tion of slavery therein. No sooner had this bill passed, than the Senate confirmed the nomination of General Shields as Governor of Oregon, and that of the President’s nominees for the offices of Secretary and Judges. During the last day’s pro- ceedings, an episode of a rather disagreeable na- ture eecurred, and which, notwithstanding the report that the parties concerned in it are to meet in deadly combat, we hope will go no further, It appears, /rom our report of the affair in our columns to-day, that a difficulty occurred between Senators Benton and Butler, in relation to something which appeared in the New York Herald, and that, in consequence of the language used by Mr. Benton on the occasion, he was challenged by Mr. Butl:r of South Carolina. Now this is an extremely silly termination of the matter. Noone disputes the courege or gallantry of either of the honorable gentlemen ; but if they resert to that relic of bar- barism, the code ot duelling, to settle a difficulty which we have no doubt a few words on both sides, uttered in a fair and honofable manner, would set at rest, we certainly think that there will be ground on which to dispute their possession of common sense. We hope and trust that a little calm reflection will have the effeet to convince both of the honorable Senators of the folly of re- sorting to extremities in this case. Our reports of the proceedings contain Mr. Webster's speech on the Oregon bill, and a pretty full sketch of the debates in the Senate on that subject, together with a daguerreotype view cf the proceedings of the session of twenty-three hours aturday and Sunday oring, last, being the longest sitting that ever was held, From Mexico Dinret.—The U. 8. steamer Mas- sachusetts, Capt. Wood, arrived last night, in a stratam of blue clay, which is one of the charac- teristics of this region. But at49 feet im depth they reached a log of wood, of 30 inches in diameter. As this was several feet below the stratum of blue clay, it seems that this could hardly have been on the surface at “~ time since the memory of the white settlers. tree, at 60 feet below the top of the soil, indicates that the whole of that depth has been made by deposites. But how Jong since 1— Cun. Chronicle. passage of 13 days, from Vera Cruz. Capt. W. Cuna anv Canava.—These two places seem to be connected in some mysterious way with each other, and with the United States. As soon as the word Cuba is mentioned, or the attention 18 directed towards it, the mind turns immediately to Cana Thus, it is, Cuba and Canada—Cana- da and Cuba, and ultimately, Canada, Cuba, and the United States. It is not unnatural that such a connection should exist between these three countries, nor that their ultimate annexation to, or absorption by the United States should be looked for, as a matter of certainty, at some period of time, remote or near. Although Canada does not present any great in- ducements to us, yet 1t appears our destiny, as well as hers, that she should, hereafter, form part of this great republic. She is owned by a distant government; the majority of her mhabitants cor- dially detest the mother power, and show a spirit of restlessness and discontent, which may sooner than most people are aware of, break out in revolu- tion and independence. ‘There has been a great change in the opinions of even the upper Canadians within a few years. The loyal subjects of the crown, who hitherto sneered at and affected to de- spise the Umited States, now admire it—its power, strength and energy, and begin to discuss the ques. tion, whether or not annexation to the United States would be judicious. The newspaper press, too, are less loyal, and prate less about Queen, Lords, and Commons, than they did, and above all, the intercourse, social and commercial, be- tween the two countries has wonderfully increas- ed of late years. The effect of this is, the dissipa- tion of the prejudice which they inhented from England, and the animosity which, towards the United States, was instilled into them on the other side of the water. The fruits of this state of things will be developed before many years. In relation to Cuba, our information from that quarter is exceedingly unsatisfactory and contradictory. The island has evidently been tipe for revolution for sometime past, but whether or not some overt and determined attempt has been made to shake off the the Spanish yoke, we eannot learn. A rigid cen sorship 1s exercised over the press, and it isin vain that we look over our files for a contradic- tion ora confirmation of the various rumors that are floating in relation to the outbreak against the government in Havana. Whether suen a crisis has actually arrived there or not, we therefore cannot tell; but it is evident to the most careless observer, that matters cannot much longer remain in a quiescent state there. Many of the most in- fluential residents, planters and merchants, are avowedly in favor of annexation to the United States, and seem to count with certainty on the time when their island will be annexed to this country. The wonder is that that island has so long remained in possession of Spain. Situated at 8o great a distance from the parent government, rich and fertile as she is, and that government 80 weak and imbecile, it is certainly strange that it has not long before this achieved its indepen- dence, and ridded itself of the burdens which are imposed upon it. The elements of revolution and separation, however, are at work. The final shock that will sever its connection with Spain, may be delayed a week, a month, or a year; but it 18 morally certain that the day is not very distant when the inhabitants of Cuba will treat Spain as we treat Great Britain—in peace, friends—in wary enemies. Thus it is,;Cuba, Canada, and the United States. The subject of a union of the three 1s now daily speculated upon. Ere long it will be a reality. pl oath aes, Sak Tue Barneurners anp THE Votre or New Yorx—Since the adjournment of the Free Soil Con- vention at Buffalo, there is much speculation in- dulged in as to the way in which New York will vote at the next election for President and Vice President. Our own opimion, based on figures, compiled wath much care and exactness 18, that General Taylor will carry the State by a consider- able majority over the candidates of the barnburn- ers and old hunkers. Tt will be recollected, that it was in the year 1847 that the barnburners of this State left the camp of the old hunkers, and dissolved partnership with | them. At that election, the number of democratic | votes was one hundred and forty thousand, while at the presidential election of 1844, it amounted to two hundred and thirty-seven thousand. ‘The dif- ference between these two sums may be said to constitute the strength of the barnburners in the election of 1847. Since that time, this new party las gamed many converts and adherents from the whigs, as well as from the abolitionists, and although we have no means of ascertaining the exact addition from these sources, we think it safe to estimate it at thirty thousand. This will give the barnburners a force of one hundred and twen- ty-seven thousand, and the old hunkers a torce of one hundred and forty thousand. The strength of the whigs, after deducting fifteen thousand as an estimate of those of that party who have joined the barnburners, will be two hundred and seven- teen thousand, which is a majority of seventy- seven thousand over the old hunkers, and of ninety thousand over the barnburners. This, we think, is a tolerably accurate estimate of the vote that will be cast in this State on the seventh of November next ; and if this should be the regult, General Taylor will secure the State most triumphantly. Even leaving a margin of ten thousand either way, and the result will be the same. The State of New York may, therefore, be set down as all right for Old Zack next No- vember Raitway Accipents—AvBURN AND Rocnester Ratte noan.—On Saturday night last, as one of our reporters was returning from the Buffalo Convention, one of the rails of the Auburn and Rochester Railroad, which from continual friction was almost reduced to scrap iron, started from its place, about ten miles on this side of Rochester, and the snake's head, as it is commonly termed, ran into the rack of the engine. The engine ‘was conrequently thrown off the line, and several feet of rail, with a few of the sleepers, were torn up by itin its course, with great violence. It happened most for- tunately, that the part of the line where this oceurfed was a dead level, for bad it been otherwise—had there been, for instance,an embankment there, similar to those a few miles further on, the most dreadful catas- trophe must have happened, In all probability, every passenger would have met with a premature death. As it was, the passengers, particularly the ladies, were thrown inte tate of great excitement; but no person was injured; aud with the exception of the annoyance oi the delay of four hours, in the middle of the night, expored tothe moisture and dew of a forest atmosphere, every one felt rejoiced at the escape they had. There war, however, a universal buret of indignation poured | cut’upen the heads of the directors, in consequence of | the ineMicient state of the road, and the remissness which they had shown in repairing it. This feell was contiderably ineressed, when it was ascertai that another accident bad occurred on the same line, on the tame afternoon, occasioned by the jornalof aa axle. in another car, having broken.

According to notice previously given, a meeting of the friends of Ireland was held at Vauxhall Garden, last evening. It was a tremendous gathering ; and, if the es: nthusiasm which exhibited itself there pre- vails in the Emerald Island, and if all the promises meade by the orators at Vauxhall are fulfilled, there need be no apprehension concerning the ultimate re- sult of the present struggle in Ireland. The meeting was called for 8 o'clock, but long before that time the large hall in which the meetings are held was densely crowded. At a quarter past 8 the meeting was organ- ived by appointing Mr. Charles O’¢onor, Chairman, and Messrs Richard Emmet, Charles Shea, Charles Davies, and F. McCarty, Secretaries, On taking the chair, Mr. O’Conor made a few happy remarks upon the nature of the business which cali the meeting together, and then proceeded to read a list of contributions which had been handed in since the Jag meeting. The amoumt of cash thus reported amounted to about $4,000. An amount more than equal to this was collected during the evening, so that the funds in the hands of the directory are increased more than $8,000 since the last meeting took place. Among the contributions of last evening was one of $500 srom Bishop Hughes, who accompanied his dona- tion with aspeech. The six sons of Robert Emmet gave $25 each. The amount of $1,500 was received Iphia, through the hands of Robert Tyler. Benevolent Society sent $500, and the $500 more, and the balance was made ions varying in amount from $300 . As these different returns were , they were received with tremendous cheering by the arsembled crowd. As Mr, O’Conor read the names of the six sons of Robert Emmet, he remarked, “ The have a pike a piece, and, the proper time and place af- fordi opportunity, they would no doubt do good ‘he remark was hailed with shouts of ap- P A U.S. soldier was observed among the su- dience, who came forWard while the reading of the names of contributors was going on, and, addressin; the chairman and secretaries, aid, “ My friends, have no money, but if you want me,d—d if I don’t 0.” . Mr. Jonn McKeon being called for, came forward and addressed the meetingina short, but pertinent speech, He alluded to the recent news from Irelasd, and drew conclusions from the ideas suggested by the probability of en actual outbreak there. He spoke of vhe rewards offered for Smith O’Brien and Meagher; and in relation to their being out of the way, he suid: «Don’t believe that these men are sckulking. {Cheers.) They will be forthcoming when they are wanted.” The following resolutions were offered, and passed unanimously :— Resolved, That each of the States be requested to nominate an honorary corresponding member, to confer with and aid the dis rectory in this city, and to be considered the representative of the directors in their respective States. erolved, pursuant to the nomination of the friends of [re- \d in Philhaelphia, Tnat Robert ‘Tyler, Bsq., be honorary cor responding member of the direetory for the whole of Penusyl- vania.

Emmet Doyle, Chairman: Richard Walsh and Andrew Fallon, Secretaries. This meeting was addressed by Horace Greeley, Andrew Fallon, Eugene Casserly,and Col. Brophy, and Mike Walsh, besides quite a number of amateur orators. At this stand nearly $200 were collected in small sums. There was a third stand, at which Edward McElrath, presided, and J.

Stirring appeals were made to all, to induce them to contribute, To use the language of one of the speakers, “If it were only ten cents. to buy the steel that would point a pike, that might find its way to some bloody ritish bosom.” This was the spirit of many of the declamations, Many were ready, they suid, to volun- teer to-morrow, if the necessity should occur, and go to Ireland, for the sake of aiding in the extinguish- ment of English rule on Irish soil. Besides the usual mode of raising money at the table, a new mo resorted to, viz.:—that of passing round the hai it was successful to a great extent. 4 Mr. McKeon had concluded his remarks in the saloon, the talking was suspended for the work of subscription was vigorously ated. ‘The meeting was next addressed by.

Careless Driving—Jobn Clark, driver of a stage on the F.mpire Line, was arrested yesterday on a charge of carelessly driving over a small Dutch girl about 10 years of age, severely bruising, or breaking, the lower part of ber leg. The charge will be further investiga- ted to-day. , Svorrace or Facronirs.—'The Newburyport Herald states that the James Mill in that town will take advantage of the depression of business at the present time, aod stop for a while, in order to re- pair their machinery. The Herald also remarks, that “More than eight hundred hands have been fore gl from the js, under the agency of one jouee of Boston, within the last fortnight, owin, to the impossibility of selling the goods on han or raising money to continue the manufacture.” The factories, very generally, are suspending ope- rations, in whole or in part. The Middlesex, at Lowell, only rans a quarter part of the machinery ; at Andover, some mills have stopped entirely, an the Salisbury Company have stopped half their works; and the Perry Cotton Mill, at Newport, the Lewiston Falls Woollen Mills, the Sabbatis- ville Flannel Factory, and the woollen mills at Ware and Clapville, have likewise stopped, or are about to stop, work. ‘The 600th a: niversary of t ceremony St laging the of the Cathedral of Cologne, is to be xtraordinary pomp on tne ldth, 15th inet., when the newly constructed jee will be consecrated.

Bowery Turatae.—The very crowded state of our columns prevents our saying more of this house than that the same elegant bill of “ Cinderella,” the “ Magic Flute,” and“ Nix the Cabman,” will again be pro- duced this evening. Signore Ciocca, Miss Taylor, Mrs. Phillips, and Mr. G. W. Smith, will all appear to- night, presenting @ great array of talent. Ninio’s Astor Puace.—The increasing popularity of this fashionable scene of rational entertainment, the interior comforts of the establishment, and the array of talent necessary to constitute all the requi- sites forthe enjoyment of a retreat from the cares busy life, have contributed to perpetuate the ente: prizing spirit of Niblo. Last night, the “ Merry Wive: of Windsor,” where the amorous Knight was, to the letter, illustrated in Hackett, with the accomplished Vandenhoff as Ford, and in which Miss Rose Telbin bore her portion of ‘comic excellence, was performed, and, in conjunction with the other stock talent, per- formed with critical correctness. The pressure of foreign matter limits a more extended review of the host of talent engaged at this magnificent establish- ment. Burton’s Tuearne.—The new extravaganza of “Valentine and Orson” was received last evening with great applause. It is a laughable affair, full of local all d jokes, Miss Sinclair makes beau- tiful Valentine, and Frougham a fanny Orson. To- night it will be repeated. The entertainments for this evening are very varied, and we hope the house will be well filled, as itis John Dunn’s benefit. National Tueatne.—The opening evening at a house, last night, was a perfect triumph: the house was crowded in every part, and the performances went off admirably. J. R: Scott performed Richelieu, one of his best parts. ‘To-night, four amusing pieces will be a ae for which we refer to our list of amuse- ments. Castix Garoen.—The concerts, a la Muserd, given nightly at this beautiful summer retreat, are, we are glad to perceive, drawing large assemblages. chestra, un d the direction of Mr. Chubb, play some of the moet beautiful instrumental pieces,from various operas, and many of Strauss’s most admired waltzes. Wednesday evening, Mr. Holland receives his compli- mentary benefit. Besides the dramatic performances, there will be a splendid ball, which, no doubt, will at- tract @ great crowd. Mr, Holland deserves a bumper, and we hi to see it realized to-morrow evening. Barney Wit.1amMs.—This celebrated representative of Irish character, is ongaged at Albany, and opens there on Thursday evening next. Campnrii’s Minstrets sing this evening at the So- ciety Library, and will continue there throughout the week. They are a most popular and talented band. Later from Mexico. [From the N. 0. Delta, Aug, 6th.] The U. 8, steamship Alabama, Capt. Baker, arrived here yesterday from Vera Cruz, the Ist instant, having on board @ large number of passengers, among whom was our gallant fellow citizen, Gen, Persifer F. Smith, late Governor of that city. Vera Cruz, with the eastle of San Juan de Ulloa, was delivered up to the Mexican authorities, with the cus- tomary formalities, on the Ist instant, at 9... Sa- lutes Were exchanged on the final lowering of our flag and the hoisting of that of Mexico, and thus terminates our occupation of the last spot on the late hostile, but now friendly territory of the republic. By this] arrival we have received Et Monitor Repub- licano, from the capital, to the 27th ult, inclusive, and El Arco Iris. of Vers Cruz, of the Ist inst. Tur Late Insunrection.—Paredes is still at large, although it ecems almost impossible for him to escape, We find in the Monitor of the 25th ult., the official despatches of Gen. Bustamente, announcing his suc- cess, the occupation of Guanajuato, the flight of Pa- redes, and the pacification of that part of the country. After the capture of Jarauta, the rebels were panic- atricken, and offered no further resistance. The total loss of the government troops, in the last operations, amounted to only three killed and eight wounded | It was by mere chanco that Jarauta was identified ; Col. Carrasco, who made him prisoner, did not know his ‘person, but, fortunately, a native of the besieged city recognised and denounced him, He begged hard for his life; and, in an interview with Gen. Minon, told the latter that his (M.’s) uncle was a prisoner in the hands of Paredes, and would suffer the same if he were shot. Minon replied that he knew it well, still nothing coufd be done for him. After Jarauta’s cap- ture, Bustamente addressed Paredes, summoning him to lay down his arms, and submit to the government; | but the latter declined, alleging his honor, and that no | security was offered for his and his followers’ lives. It is related, that notwithstanding this ostentatious dis. | play, his heart failed him; and, although Negrete and | the rest wished to continue the struggle, he made off | secretly, accompanied by three or four confidential | friends,’ When this fact became known, there was general flight; and Bustamente entered the city, with- out firing another shot. The most measures have been taken for the | arrest of Pat nd his adherents. Circulars have ‘been despatched by the secretaries for the home and war departments, to the governors and commanders- in-chiet of the States, calling on them to be on the alert, and in the event of any of the late insurgents being taken, that they be brought before a court | al and punished (+hot, no doubt.) within twenty- | fourhours. The Monitor of the 26th announces that late the preceding night a despatch had been received from Guanajuato, informing the government that twenty officers of the insurgents had been captured and shot, Acuascatientrs —This is the only place besides Guansjuato that was in the interest of the insurgents. Supposing Paredes had fled thither, portion of Busta- mente’s army marched in pursuit, which so alarmed the Governor that he also took to flight. | Cuamner or Deruties—This body commenced its | Httings at the capital on the 22d ult | A bill hed been | introduced by Senor Paino, outlawing all who may hereafter take up arms against the conctituted autho- rities. This is in op, ion to the bill, by Senor Na- bolishing capital punishment. FECTION oF THE BattaLion or San Patnicto. A plot in which these worthies had been engaged, with their notorious commander Riley. had been providen- tially nipped inthe bud. It had been arranged that | they rhould seize the President and the Ministers. and initiate another pronunciamento. Before their mea- 6 were ripe, Riley and some of his subordinates were seized and all was frustated, The battalion was sent out of the city to Guadaloupe, where they mu- tinjed; andthe Commandant General of the capitol marched with four pieces of artillery, to reduce them to order. The mutineers fired on them, but were dis- persed, 25 or 30 remaining prisoners in the Command- ant’s hande, who was pursuing the fugitives. Tue Ronser Roque Minanpa.—This miscreant, who was condemned to death for murder,&c., has been faved by the interposition of the third chamber of the Supreme Court. ll ranks of people in the capital had been utterly disgusted by this ill-timed clemency. The Germans, mch, and other foreigners, serving in the National Guard, intend to renounce this occu- pation, since the highest legal tribunal thus sanctifies robbery, murder, &c, The ident has acted nob! on the occasion. and through the Minister of Justice peremptorily calle on the Supreme Court to farnish th government, within three days, the reasons on which they founded their judgment, in screening the crimi- nal from the last punishment of the law. A subscrip- tion has been ret on foot to present a testimonial ot approbation to the judge, Senor G. de Ia Pena, who condemned bim. Tonacco Monoroty,—The State of Puebla has peti- tioned the government to open the tobacco trade to the public. On the other hand, the authorities, it! is raid, have made a contract with Senor Escandon, for the exclusive traffic therein, Tur Evacuarion.—El Arco Iris, of the 1st inst., contains an order, published by the Mexican authori- ties, directing all the sho; ‘era Cruz to be closed, and busi ‘to be suspended, on the occasion of tho Te-oce! mn, by the National Guard, of the city and fortress, and the hoisting of the Mexican flag, All who contravene the order were to be fined, or other- wise punished. Surreme Trinuxay or War.—By an order of the Government, all those members who did not follow the army to Queretaro, are to be excluded from seats in the Supreme Tribunal of War. Mr. Curronv.—El Menitor states that Mr. Clifford visited the Supreme Court of Justice on the 23d ult., ey was received with every mark of attention by the judges. Mines 1n Texas.—We have received specimens of ores procured from the neighborhood of San Saba andan old mine on the Nueces. According to the Mexican traditions these mines were formerly worked by the Spaniards for silv« contained in either of the epe ‘They are chiefly iron ore, and bright particles of yellow mica, whi Pi duced those who procured them to believe that they contained gold or silver. We have been informed b; * jan who visited the mine on the Nueces thi aunk over sixty fect nd there are relics of tools n the shaft, in- dicating that many persons wero once employed in working this mine; bi er the excavations were made merely to diseover of precious ore, or to procure ore from a vein that had been discovered, teems quite doubtful. Certain it is, that no specimens that have been yet found at the mine indicate that it contains any ore of silver or gold. It is not improba- ble that the excavations were made to search fora silver mine. Jt is well known that the Spanish miners ‘were 60 ignorunt of geology that they often made ex- tensive excavations to rearch for gold and silver in rocks that were as destitute of these metals as the forest trees that overthadowed them. If the mines on the San Saba and Nueces bad ever yielded any consi- derable quantity of the precious metals, some account of them would have been found in the old records of Bexar or the Presidio of Rio Grande. These records, however, we understand, do not furnish any evidence that valuable silver mines were ever worked on the San Saba or Nueces.

Summary, By telegraph from Washington we have, at last, the closing proceedings of Congress, which con- cluded its session at 12 o’clock, M., yesterday. Our correspondent has furnished an interesting sketch, commencing with the exciting incidents in the proceedings of the Senate on Saturday night and Sunday morning, and continued through the sitting of Monday forenoon. It will be seen that the bill providing for the government of the Terntory of Oregon has become a law, with the ordinance of 1787, (embracing the principle of the Wilmot Proviso)j attached, not- withstanding the extraordinary efforts ofSouthern Senators and Representatives in opposition. Gene= ral Shields has been appointed Governor of the Territory ; and Messrs. Turney of Illinois, Brant of Indiana, and Burnett of Oregon, Territorial Judges. The controversy in the Senate between Col. Benton and Mr. Butler of South Carolina—arieing from Mr. Butler’s motion to go into Execu- tve Session for the purpose of inquiring into the manner in which certain proceedings of the Senate in secret session (on the nomination ot Gen. Kearny) were made public—had, it seems well nigh resulted in a hostile meeting of the ho» norable Senators outside the walls of the capitol. Our correspondent states that a challenge was sent to Col. B. by the hands of Messrs, Mangum and Foote; but that serious consequences were happily averted by the interference of the civil authorities—all the parties being held to bail to keep the peace. Full particulars of this difficulty will be found below. Further election returns, and sundry other in- teresting items of news, will also be found an- nexed. THE CLOSING scCBNDs OF THE First Session of the Thirtieth Congress. ‘The sitting of the Senate, beginning at ten o'clock on Saturday, and continuing till near ten o'clock Sunday morning, was the most extraordinory, and» perhaps, the most important since the adoption of the constitution. Except duripg the morning hour and the time occupied by Messrs, Webster and Reverdy Johnson, when our associate relieved us, your reporter was the witness the whole time, and wide awake. ‘We have cent a rapidly written report by mail, which is full of interest. bs Mr. Webster made his speech between 9 and 10 o'clock, P. M.; Mr. Johnson, of Ga., followed ; then Mr. Foote; and then General Houston, in defence of his position in supporting, as a last alternative, the ‘Wilmot proviso for Oregon. General Houston took oceasion to pay a high eulogium to Henry Clay, as the great pacificator; and so eloquently did he speak, that the gallery gave him a round of three cheers, ‘This was at 12, Saturday night, when Mr, Turney moved to adjourn, and that the hour be entered on the journal. The motion was rejected: The South were determined to fight the proviso to the death. If they could defeat Benton, they would the North. The motion to recede and pass the House bill was his motion. He planted himself upon that position. \ Mr. Burzsn, referring to a publication of a matter of secret session, to which it appeared the Senator from . Missouri was a party, moved an executive session, Mr. Breese raised a point of order. Mr. Bernran sustained the motion for an executive session. 5 A debate ensued on the motion, involving the honor of Mr. Benton. In the course of it, Mr. B. said, and repeated several times, that any man who would charge him with dishonorable conduct would get the lie; “he would get the lie in his throat, sir, and he would have to swallow it.” [Loud cries of “order! order!’ all around.) Mr. Bu Tver, as wethought, made s movement to Mr. Benton, but was stopped. He afterwards explained that he was wholly responsible for his motion. There was no confederacy in it, and he still believed that the case required an executive session, After some time, the motion for an executive session was declared by . the Chair to be out of order. Mr. Mason appealed from this decision, but the Chair was sustained by the Senate. Mr. Foore then appealed to the Senator of Missouri! to withdraw his motion to recede from the amendment tothe Oregon bill, so that a new committee of con- ference with the House might be had. Mr. Benton repudiated the idea of receding. He was ready to sit there from this time, one o’clock Sun- day morning, till twelve o’olock Monday morning. Mr. Foore then undertook to talk down time, and continued fora long time speaking about anything in the world except the bill. He was also relieved in long explanation by Mr. Westcott and Mr. Atchison; but he was finally ruled out of order and compelled to take his seat. With frequent motions to adjourn, the night passed through ; and in the morning, Mr. Yulee gave notice that the South had agreed to let the vote be taken.— Then it was that Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Butler, Mr? Man- gum, Mr. Foote, and Mr. Downs, delivered their funeral orations of the Union. To hear them, a stranger would have cvncluded that Washington city had already been sacked and pillaged by the abolition-.__ ists, and that the Miseissippi had commenced running vp stream. The vote was taken, and, with the Southerm votes of Benton and Houston, the Oregon bill, as passed by the House, was agreed to by the Senate—29 to 26. It being now half past nine o’clock, Sunday morning’ the Senate adjourned. A detailed report of the proceedings of y night and Sunday morning will be found un eo head of “ Intelligence by the Mails.”” SESSION OF MONDAY. The Senate met at 9 A.M. Amotion by Mr. Miuuzn, to suspend the rules tolet the Oregon bill go to the President, was taken up. Mr. Tunney objected, and proceeded to make a speech. Mr. Wenster called to order. The question was debated by Messrs. Caruoun and Tonsey, who thought it proper to defeat the bill by talking down the session. Mr. Wensrer and Mr. Benton fought for the bill. , Mr. Rusx appealed, that, as the South had done everything in their power to defeat this Wilmot pro- vieo, they should give way and let the rules be sus- pended, because the army Dill, the post route, and forty other bills, were yet to go to the President, a well ag the Oregon bill. ‘ It was moved to amend Mr. Miller’s resolution, so as to suspend the rules in reference to all bills onhand, Mr. Catnoun objected. Just at this moment, the very resolution wanted came in from the House, Mr. Benton—We have it now, sir. I move to lay down the Senate resolution and take up that of the House. Agreed to,and the resolution was carried tri_ umphantly, suspending t’ rules upon all bills that had not been sent to the Prem ‘ent. The President was in the capitol waiting for them. After some other buriness, = message was received from the President; and, on motion, the Senate went. into executive sersion at quarter before 120’elock. When they came out, the long session of the 90th Congress was at an end. It was immediately announe-~ ed that the Oregon bill, with the proviso, was a law of the land—that Gen, Shields was Governor—that Messrs. Turney, of Illinois, Brant, of Indiana, and Burrett, of Oregon, were judges, &c.; and that all the other necessary federal offices were appointed and con- firmed. Quick work. Mr. Westeort, in the debate on Sunday morning, said the President would sign the bill, but it was hard to reconcile the idea with the fears of Southern Sena- tors that it must dissolve the Union. ‘We are glad to learn to-day, that the Union is still alive, ‘The greatest confusion prevailed in the House this morning. The various motions made by some of the members, seemed to be with » view to waste time, im. order that the Oregon bill might not become a law. A rule which permitted bills to be presented to the Presi- dent on the last day of the session, however, was sus- pended, to which the Senate subsequently agreed, and the bill was signed shortly after by the President, who. was in the Seoretary’s room. A meraage was sent into the House a few minutes mb- requently, but which was not read, in consequence of
