She made the pas- serge in April, last year, in thirteen days.® "There are five steamers to arrive this week, with later news from Europe—four besides the Cambria, nemely, the Helena Sloman; a propellor from Ham- burg, now in her fourteenth day; the City of Glas- goW, also-a propellor and a fast sailer, from Glas- gow, inher thirteenth day; the Canada, one of the fastest of the Cunarders, from Liverpool, now in her ninth day; and the Washington, from South- n, also in her ninth day. ‘The Pritish Queen, which left Hamburg on the 2d inst., has not yet arrived. The Slavery Question in Congress—Danger to the Union—Policy of the Cabinet. Notwithstanding the phase which the slavery agi- tation has assumed at Washington, and the «pparent procpect that the comunittee of the Senate, to whom all the questions have been referred, will fix upon | some sort of compromise which will pass that | august body, yet we do not regard the prospect of a settlement of the vexed question as by any man- ner of means at all probable, if at all possible, by this Congress, ‘When we consider the powerful elements at work in opposition to a settlement of the difficulty, which still remains, we are justly fearful that the momentary lull—the present calm—is but the precur- amore fearful hurricane, which will shake our Union structure to its foundation, if it does not level it to the dust. There is more real peril in the preeent peaceful aspect of the political ments, than has been at any previous moment; and it ehooves every friend of the constitution and of the Union, to be more wide awake and more active to ward off the threatened danger, for the shrewdest of men cannot tell from which quarter the gather- tng storm will burst upon our heads. Clay, Cass, Mangum, Webster, Clemens, King, Davis, and the other statesmen who are willing to throw aside all personal feelii and to sacri- fice their own hopes and personal ambition upon the altar of the Union, if necessary, may be too feeble to resist the combination of opposite and dif- ferent factions, which are gathering and uniting to do battle against any settlement of the terrible questic These patriots desire peace, union, and safet not.

General Taylor was ed his election under the belief that his administra- tion would do justice to the South. Whatis the true state of the case? He has called around him | as his cabinet and advisers, a set of men who are beyend the reach or control of the people, save | through the President; and yet this cabinet have wilfully deceived the President, and have made him and his administration the mainspring of the | opposition to a prompt and satisfactory settlement of the whole slavery question, which, if not ef- fected this se » may deluge this land with an an of human bleod, A cabinet that have wsurp- ed the power of the President, which the constitu- tion especially forbids he should delegate to any set of men, and are wielding it to crush the patriots | in Cengress—those sages, such as Clay, Webster, Clemens and others, who see the awful peril which menaces the Union, and who are striving to avert it.

Mr. Wm Carey Jones, the son-in-law of Mr. Senator Ben- ton, Was sent out on a mission to California, by the present cabinet, to examine into the land titles of the million of aeres of gold dust and quartz, and in this report we have the history, the opinions, and the facts. It confirms every word we said a few days since, in reference to the causes of the anxiety on the part of many prominent individuals to delay action in regard to admitting California, It is estimated that the Mexican titles to land im California are now worth at least one thousand million of dollars, and that in less than five or ten years, they may be worth five thousand million of dollars—more than enough to pay off in gold every dollar of the national debt of Eng- land, and of every government in Europe, besides! Now, we have the true motive of the excitement in relation to the admission of Califernia into the Union as a State, constitution- ally or otherwise. Now, we know why certain in- dividuals, in the cabinet, and out of it, are so anx- ious to admit California without having her adinis- sion embarrassed by any other question, There have been enormous speculations, by men in Wash- ty of General Taylor, have allied the administra- tion with the men and the measures of the aboll- tionists, and are leagued with them in all their wicked designs. are stri tives, | | j | * { ing to put off a settlement of the urn | Presidents and cabinets would straws to stop the bloodshed and carnage that would follow, until the Union was dism-mbered | forever, and become two separate republics.

While the leading Southern Senatars—Mangum, Clemens, Foote, Davis, and others—are acting in unison with Clay, Webster, Cass, and other Nor- thern Senators, and are really desirous to have all the slavery and territorial questions settled satisfac- torily to beth North and South, the cabinet, the California speculators, in and out of Congress, are making every exertion to delay a settlement of the question until the land titles are first made good. They have vast fortunes at stake in the issue.

Mn. Wensrer in New York—Gorve to Bosroy. —Mr. Webster, the great statesman of New Eng- land, arrived in town on Saturday night, and re- mained here all day yesterday. He was called upon, during his brief visit, by | many of his sincere admirers and friends, who were happy to find the distinguished Senator in excellent health, considering the fatigues incident to the present painfully severe struggle in Congress. At dinner, in company with two or three friends, the natural elasticity and playfulness of his great mind were displayed, to the enjoyment of his guests, While, occasionally, the topics hinging upon the state of the country, showed that he is deeply unpressed with the paramount importance of the admission of California. It isto the settlement of he has a kind of porental anxiety about it, that, i a measure, absorbes every other feeling.

We hope, aot. Triat or Onx-Eyep Tuomrsox—Aprvrt Post ProneMENT.—The trial of One-Eyed Thompson, at | Brooklyn, was postponed on Saturday, without be- ing finished. It goes over to Monday next. This is a very queer result. In this city, such an abrupt net Right, Mr. Hudebert, French cook, of New Orleans, has been appointed American Consul at Lyons. Since the introdnetion of socialist principles throughout France, the cooking in many of the cities has sadly deteriorated from its former renowned character; probably because the cooks are now all politicians. Lyons, it is said, has almost lost its character for good food, well cooked, since the revolution. However, the new Consul, appointed by the pre- sent cabinet at Washington, will not be likely to suffer in Lyons, for he has the power in his owa hands, mixed up with the sauce of experience, to provide admirably for his own dinners. We know Mr. Iudebert, and all Mississippi knows him, for an excellent cook; and we presume he will make an excellent Consul, serving up every dish for the exbinet in the most fashionable style. This is probably the best appoiutment made by the present cabinet. Give the seven devils their due. ‘Talking of cocks and consuls, a word to Gene- ral Taylor on the general subject, and we have done for the present. Our foreign consular system has attracted the attention of Congress for many years past. It has been found to be very imperfect, and very laugha- ble; but Congress have done nothing. A very in- teresting report was made by a committee of the Heeee of Representatives, in 1846, and there the matter ended, until the extraordinary cabinet of General Taylor came into power, and Mr. Clayton became Secretary of State. This gentleman found the State Department in admirable confusion —he found that this magnificent country was repre- sented abroad by two classes of people—firat, by our ministers and charges ; second, by our consuls and these diplomats, Mr. Clayton found that in most a good minister or a first rate consul, and he de- termined to reform the system altogether. The cabinet held a meeting. Mr. Clayton, with that sagacity for which he is famous, pointed out to his colleagues the shoals in our system of ministers, and particularly of consuls. Congress would do nothing in the matter. The cabinet must do some- thing. What was to be done? What was the difficulty? How could it be remedied? Mr. Clayton had prepared himself ably for the crisis, by reading extensively from the works of foreign travellers. He stated, as the result of his reading, that he found— Ist. That good dinners and kitchen qualifica- tions were the first requisites of a foreign repre- sentative. 2d. That as the English language was confined | toa small portion of the globe, it was necessary | that our representatives should speak French, Spanish, Dutch, &c., as the case might require. | 8d. That as our consular system did not afford, | but in few cases, a decent living for a monkey, the | consul appointed should be able to make his own | way in the world; and as his only outfit allowed by government consisted of an old brass seal, a pieca of bunting, called the consular flag, a gaudy tin sign with a big bird painted on it, and an old box to put them in, he should have check to increase his stock of trade from other sources. The cabinet coincided as a unit in these views, and they determined to make the experiment with the low grade of consul, and if the Senate would concur, then to follow it up. There was a vacancy at the great city of Lyons, in France, and Mr. Clayton named for it Mr. James Heudebert. His ' accomplishments came up to the Clayton standard. He was a Frenchman and a cook—real and un- doubted in both points. True, he didn’t speak English, but that was no matter; he was not to be sent to England, and did not require to do so; but interruption or postponement by the Judge, for a week, would vitiate the whole proceedings, and the trial would have to be commenced de novo.

Copy the ad MONEY MARKE Sunpay, Apeil 28—6 P.M. During the past week, the stock market has beep considerably agitated, but prices have been feebly sustained. and holders of stocks generally have beem in a very feverish state. The advance in fancy stocks commenced about two months ago, and prices, for ® ‘week or two, ran up very fast. Since that time, the market has fluctuated considerably, without having advanced beyond points ruling early in March. The unsteady state of prices, and the uncertainty existing in the minds of bull speculators, relative to a farther improvement, the immense quantity of stock thrown upon the market the moment prices give way, and the ease with which a panic could be brought about, have increased the number of bears, and given those who have consistently opposed the recent rise. more confi- dence. The market, during the past two months, has been sustained by a series of the most favorable eircumstances. So far, not the first adverse event has occurred to derange the calculations of specula- tors, or check the expansion going on in public and private credits, and in everything connected with trade. We ray, not the first adverse event has occurred; we might say, not the first unfavorable cir- cumstance has appeared, indicating a collapse of the last year to an almost incredible extent, will be greatly swelled this ensuing summer, by reason of the brilliant and inviting accounts, which have been carried to every quarter of the globe, of the State of California, of the richness and magnitude of her mines, and of the extraordinary success at- tendant upea the labor of industrious adventurers lore, and they will give you an outfit—coat and | chapeav, sword, and the consular fixings, on tick. ‘Toke two suits, Heudy ; you can wear out one in the refectory—it will draw custom. until the Senate fix the balance, and then—* Stand net on the order of your going, but go to France at once,’ os the Bible says—bye—bye.” ‘The Senate have, at last, confirmed Mr. IL, and he goes ebroad under the most favorable cireum- stenees.

The Americans have constructed their municipal government, and have elected Capt. M. kK. Taylor, formerly of Baltimore, Mayor.

These astonishing accounts | will exert a powerful influence upon the minds of the people in Europe; they will give a new stimulus to such as were in a state of uncertainty or irreso- lution, and will thereby greatly augment the num- ber of emigrants to this port. It is to this vast increase of emigration we wish to call the attention of the Board of Health, and other medical authorities, in as far as it affects the state of public health. It is a well-known fact, that on account of the crowded condition of passen- gers in the common emigrant vessels, where they have generally to provide for themselves, and | where cleanliness is but seldom attended to, diseas- | es of various kinds, and not unfrequently the Asiatic cholera, appear amongst the passengers, which sometimes commit a fearful havoc. It has also | been observed, that emigrants who have been on board of a vessel where disease had pre- ; vailed, and who apparently have not been affected | by it, have still communicated the disease to the city they were destined for, The United States frigate | Raritan, Commodore Parker, furmshes of late a striking instance of this kind, on board of which | the cholera developed itself, which was then com- municated to the city of Havana, where it is now raging with dreadful fatality. As the number of emigrants will be greater this year then in any of the previous years, it is probable, ifnot certain, that a considerable amount of dis | bubLle, the inflation of which bas been going on 80 ra~ pidly and apparently so prosperously ; but below the surface of things, the germs of a revulsion exist, soon. to be developed. At present, everything no doubt ap- pears, to the superficial observer, satisfactory and sub- stantial. The recent rise in stocks is, no doubt, con~ tidered by inexperienced speculators the result entire- ly of the improvement in the real value of the different. ; Securities named; but the time Is not far distant, when they will see what a delusion they have labored under, and sce that they have been imposed upon by those who were large holders at low prices. The beara of Wall street have ever been the best friends of outside Fpeculators, and the bulls are their greatest enemies, The bears are continually cautioning outeiders not to toueh any of the worthless fancy stocks, while the bulls are, by the most extravagant statements, by the: greatest falsehoods, and by all kinds of dishonorable, disgraceful measures, continually endeavoring to draw in ousiders, and enddle them with all kinds of funey trash, at the highest prices,and then leave them to get rid of it as they best can. Tho position of the two grew parties in the street appears to be litte understood a if outsiders, The annexed statement exhibits the quotations for the principal speculative stocks in this market, for each day ofthe past week, and at the close of the week previous. It will be seen that prices have fluctuated considerably, and that most of the fanctes closed lower ‘then at the openin, QvOTATIONS FOR THE Privcrrar.
