Phe Contest for Spenker—Tne Hor the Cabiner—Awfut Caving ‘There appears to have been a stampede among the whigs of the House on Tuesday last, at the | announcement on the thirty-eighth exveriment, of | one hundred und nine votes for Mr. Browa, of Lae giana. {twas a result well calculated to excite alarm among the supporters of the cabinet ia the | House ; five more votes would have elected Me. Brown, and the signs were clearly s gavic unt that another trial woeld bring them oat, and thus secure the election of the most hostile ma to the cabinet, asthe Speaker of the House. No woa- der scene of contusion eusued, aod the loag sup- pressed party animosities began to boil and bubble. It only needed such astick of timber ander the pot to set the curivus elements inside inte active fer- mentation, Notasirgle man in the body eould have been selected more odious to the cabinet than Mr. Brown—not a more bitiag reproof could be given them than his election as Speaker of the House. It is vot surprising, then, that on the aa- nouncement of the thirty-eighth roll-eall, Mr. Wia- throp should throw up his hand, and abaadoa the field. ‘This would be a matter of no conseqnenes, if it only involved the persouul preference of the body ofthe whigs. But other consideratioas make the defeat of their caucus pominee a matter of the very highest importance. The whole prograane New York, KF anys je and | Tuk Stave Tkave anp its Prevention —For the last thirty years England has been endeavor- ing, atan annual expense of upwards of two mil- lions «nd a half of dollars, to put an end to the ex- portation of slaves from Atrica; and it will be reg collected that, on several occasions, there were collisions between the Unued States and that country, grewing out of the searching of American vessels by British cruisers, with the view of as- certaining whether they were eng tged in the slave trade or not, which were near leading to national desputes. Finuily, the United States, by treaty with England, agreed to keep a certain naval force oa the African const, to co-operate with that of Eag. land, Spain, Portugal, aud France, in suppressing | the traffic, and that force is miiatained at the pre- rent time. Among them several prizes have } fom time to time been captured—all of which were provided with slaves to a greater or lesser number Notwithstanding all these preventive measures, it uppears, by a report subatted to the British Pailiement on the subject, thatthe slave trade has, so for from bemg diminished, actually been in- creased, and the horrors of the middle passage much aggravated. The measure has, it appears, been a complete failure. While the slave tratfie was legal, winch it was in the year 1794, it was computed that the number of negroes who were annually taken from Africa amouated to eighty thousand. In the year 1820 the esumated numer was seventy thousand, and in the year 1817, wnile all those preventive measures were in opera- lion, it 18 computed, from reliable data, that rom sixty to sixty-tive thousand were landed in Brazil, from Afnea. Aud in consequence of those very preventive measures, the horrors of itis stated on good authority that to laud sixty or siaty-five thousand slaves in Brazil, some one hau- died thousand must be taken from Africa, the re- on the African co: parsnge. All these facts have come out in such | wmonner as to leave no room of doubt coacera- ing them. It therefore follows that those preven, ve measures have resulied in positive evil rather than good; and, stead of checking the traffic, have increased the number of wegroes that have bit therto been exported from Africa, While the tratlic wan legal, there was a regular annoal abstraction of negiocs from Aftea, to the number of eighty thousand ; whereas, io 1847, whea it was ill-gal, and Whea @ strong naval force was stationed ou the | Afficun coast to prevent it, the unportation frou that country into Brazil alone required a drainage of ove hundred thousand of the population, This is wecounted for by the protiwubleness of the trade, wh ch is £0 great as to induce men to embark in the business, and run «ll hazards that may attead is prosecution.
