GHINESE ASSEMBLY ROOM New York, Mond The Four Parties in Congress—The Com- promise, The eventful debate on the Report of the Com- wattee of Thirteen, will be the special business of the Senate of the United States, to-day. The four perties in Congress interested in the discussion, will bring all their power to bear upon the subject ; aud what may be the result, no man knows. One patty, including those of the ultra portion of the South, are disposed to insist upon the extension of the Missouri line to the Pacific, in order that the Seuthern States may hold themselves in an even scale with the Northern States, and lose no portion of their power in the confederacy. Another party, the Seward and abolitionist faction, with all the freesoil agitators, will madly maintain the reign of Wilmot tobe a sine gua non over all the territories, and will not yield a jot, evenif the country were to be mined by their obstinacy. The other two perties have, however, the only truly practical schemes, and only one of these is worthy of much attention, when the results are surmised and the permanent settlement of the great controversy is to be secured. The third party, in resting upon the President’s plan, which they appear now to be will- ing to sacrifice in some measure, will only leave the whole subject open, and eventually create much mischief. The fourth party, which embraces allthe leading practical statesmen, all the truly great minds of the country, under the auspices of Clay, Webster, Cass, Mangum, Foote, &c., have by far the best plan that has been brought forward ; and if it should stand the searching investigation and discussion to which it is now to be submitted, it will be an added evidence of its sound practical worth and substance. The plans of the ultras of the North will never attract the sympathies of the country. They are too exacting and exigent. They are not, in their nature or character, compromises. They are posi- tive demands, calculated to excite, promote and perpetuate sectional jealousies, and to distract the government of the country for half a century longer, or perhaps a whole century, if the country should hold together so long. Therefore, the abandon- ment of these schemes would be eminently patri- eiie, and would have a powerful effect in cement- ing the bonds of our Union stronger than they have ever been. Individual ambition, however, is too strong, too aspiring, to yield. We cannot expect # surrender of powerful prejudices. They are the ast things that men give up. Mr. Clay’s compromise, though, stands a fair ehance for success, particularly as, within a few days, the party hitherto sustaining the cabinet plon have declared for the settlement itself, irrespective of the particular means of its ac* eomplishment. This is a good feature. The evbinet plan is an unsatisfactory one. If Cali- fornia were to come in by herself, as she stands, the whole troublesome subject would not only be left open, but we ehould have the ultra feelings of | the South renewed and increased. A new free State would be added to the North. The political balance would be impinged upon, and an animus would be given by the course to the Nashville con- vention, which might terminate in fatal results to the confederacy. The South are rapidly growing in agricultural and manufacturing importance. ‘They are beginning to feel and appreciate the effect of what non-intercourse with the North would bring about, and how far they could absorb the eommerce of Great Britain—the country most in- terested in eur disunion. In view of this, we have to be very careful to maintain kindly relations with the section of country whence we derive our sta- ples for manufacture, and to which we send our goods, in the shape of clothing, boots, hats, and household furniture. The admission of California alone will never do. It would create a momentary lull, and then a tremendous storm. Let us avoid Bhat Mr. Clay's compromise, however, is one upon which the patriotic and sensible men of all parties may vnite. 11 is pacific in its character. It isequi- table to all parties, and, if adopted, will produce harme and permit the country to have a good government, ably administered, and ready to pro- eced with public affairs—now fearfully neglectad Should the plan fail, it is useless to attempt any- thing else. The country must be left as it is, and exist in an excited state, till the people, by the great elections, instruct Congress on the subject. ‘Then we shall have a great battle to fight; but we can | fight it, with a knowledge of the ground upon which we stand. The only question now is, shall Congress settle the whole question, or do nothing, and let the whole matter be settled by the people ? Thie is the simpt Sewarp anv Avri-Stavery Texvesorms.-—It is @ subject of glorification in certain quartera, that a million of Sewa anti-slavery epecehes have been issued from the press. A thousand copies of any reasonable documents would produce better reculte. Seward follows in the same path taken by Garrison, Phillips, Douglass, and the rest of thoae distinguished orators who have recently made themselves conspicuous in this city for their wicked follies. Garrison and Seward are very much alike. They find something of a higher @haract or to obey than the constitution—their owa ambition. So they pour out their specehes like 1.

We have received same ad @itiona! intelligence from Havana, to the 4th inet The news will be found in another part of our co | fumne ; but there is no revolution ther, as yet.

This willbe the fifth trial con- | there ; and it leaks out that so much corruption has nected with the famous batch of torpedo, and the | been already discovered, that some of the high stool-pigeon criminal mysteries, which have agitat- ed the atmosphere of the Tombs for many months past. The first trial was that of the two Drurys, ending in no verdict—the second was that of Case, ending in acquittal—the third was Ashley’s, end- ing in conviction for forgery—the fourth was One. Eyed Thompson, tried last week in Brooklyn, and ending in acquittal—the fifth, and one of the most interesting, will be that of Arlington Bennet, to come up to-morrow, if nothing special be interpos- ed to delay the proceediags. All these trials, with such as are to follow, must throw inuch light on these singular and unique criminal mysteries. As yet, no sufficient or un- objectionable evidence has been produced, tending to show clearly the author, originator, or manu- fecturer of the famous torpedo box—or of the va- rious forgeries charged against numerous indivi- ‘The individual, or individuals, who manu- factured the torpedo, as well as the for- geries, must have possessed a very superior degree of practical chemical knowledge, united with an inventive genius for crime that is perfectly original and wonderful. ‘The testimony on all the previous trials has not developed facts broad enough, or clear enough, to establish the exact identity of this wonderful genius. We have had plenty of the ordinary circumstantial evidence, such as presses, bottles, liquids, and other chemi- cal apparatus, found in different localities—and also lots of what is called stool-pigeon evidence, con- duals. ciates under entrapped circumstances— all of which description of evidence has been considered, gene- | rally, by juries, as not entitled to full reliance—as the previous trials have indicated. Who devised and manufacted the torpedo car- ried to Warner’s house? Who devised and ex- tracted, by some chemical process, the writing in the letter written by James Foster, and converted it into a forged note?’ Who arranged and changed, by a chemical or printing process, the country bank one dollar bills into tens, &c.? In the per- petration of these crimes, there seems to have been a vast confederacy of chemists, engravers, stool- pigeons, passers of bad money—an association of men and women, some originals, and some dupes, of the most remarkable and startling character. ‘We want more evidence. The trial of Arlington Bennet is another chapter in the drama, and it will be watched and studied with an intensity equal to that of its predecessors. Annexation, General aNp Panticu.ar.—It is useless to talk about, or to plan, any new annexa- tions, while we have such an array of difficulties to surmount as have attended our already very large acquisitions of territory. Indeed, there are many very important reasons why we should hold our commercial relations with contigueus countries particularly sacred, and free from even the pros- pect of disturbance. There wasa great amount of feeling, phrenzy and words expended in this State, some time ago, upon Canada annexation ; but it has all passed away, and seems to be floating down the river St. Lawrence, now open to our ves- sels on the reciprocity principle. This is the best use thatcan be made of such patriotism, Let it drift seaward. The annexation of Cuba is now the theme with a few brainless boys and scheming idlers, who do not know how to get a dinner except apon army rations. They have been set into a high fever by the departure of an old vessel from New Orleans, with two or three hundred men; and have been thrown into a spasm by the flag floating at the eorner | of a certain building on Fulton and Nassau streets, | which will probably be taken down by disappointed ambition on some dark night, not far distant. We think the sooner the flag is struck the better. It keeps the newsboys wondering when the “ Juba Battle Extra” will be ready,and interferes with their regulartrade in newspapers. The flag should be removed to Coney Island, the head quarters of great expeditions, like that of Captain Lopez. It does not have a fair shake in a crowded thorough- fare. If it cannot brave the battle, it should brave the breeze. Tue Fornest Case.—Our private accounts from Harrisburg state that there is no possible chance for Mr. Forrest to get his divorce bill passed into a and that it is highly probable he will abandon that to go into the law courts, either of Pennsylvania or good old regular way. This planis also said to be agreeable to Mrs. Forrest and her principal advisers in this city, both legal and amateur, including, among the latter, N. P. Willis and Chevalier Wikoff. Indeed, we un- derstand that the latter chevalier, in the expecta- tion of » final and legal separation, has been making some arrangements for the début of the lady as an | artist on the stage, either in this country or in England. The chevalier has some experience in this line of operations, particularly during the bril- liant career of Fanny Elesler in this hemisphere— and we have no doubt he would manage the affairs of any débutante with skill and éclat. In the mean- time, we fear that the friendship of such advocates as N. P. Willis and Chevalier Wikoff will not tend mination. Some men are marplots by nature. | Canxptnate ror Proor Reaper or ver Henan. | —Hiram Fuller al Storekeeper, appointed by | General Taylor, appears to have a great deal of | time upon his hands, for he is able to devote nearly half of every day, to a carefal and critical perusal of the Herald, in whieh he finds much to astonish him, and only a few trifles to condemn. He appears to consider it a private duty to engage in this se- rious employment. His public duties, we know, are very much more important and intellectual, | consisting of a zealous superintendence of the big 1 some junk-shop loafer might carry away as “public property” in his breeches pockets. These public and private duties are severely trying toa man of t, and nothing less than a statue sisting of the declarations and admissions of asso- | to bring these unhappy matters to a favorable ter | amen in office will have to cut and run. In this neighborhood, those popular committees, called ju- ries, have been investigating the transactions of certain criminals and their stool-pigeons—and much curious matter has come out, and more is coming. Major Noah, formerly Surveyor of this Port and editor of a daily journal, but now reduced to @ secret and small office in the Custom House, and an effete editor of a weekly paper, is also on the list—and his public conduct, as Surveyor in 1584, at his own desire, will soon be investi- gated touching the robbery and recovery of the fa- mous Dutch jewels, belonging to the Princess of Orange. The appropriation of $10,000, under the name of a reward, received by Noah, Swartwout, Ogden and others, for services principally perform- ed by others, will be examined and probed to the bottom, in all its length and breadth. In the mean- time, Major Noah, in consequence of the revelation of his conduet being first made in our columas, is venting his spleen, weekly, against Mr. Bennett, the proprietor of this journal, in every funny shape— calling him all sorts of names—but principally alleg- ing that he is an alien and a native of Scotland. It is very amusing to see such a heinous charge come from Noah, if there be any truth in the following letter, written to Mr. B., in 1842, by John L. Wil- son, the late Governor of South Carolina:— Cuanceston, Sept. 20th, 1842, eive, by the Herald, that you are ignorant of the place of M. M. Noah, lately judge in your city. He is ® native of Cunada, and never has been made a citizen of the United States. During the last war with Great Britain, before the second election of Mr. Madison, He came on to Charleston (and. it was supposed, was hired for the business) to enlist the City Gazette, edited by E. 8. Thomas (the only important democratic sous, in the city and the State), to favor the election of De Witt Clinton. He ut first succeeded, and wrote # series of numbers, under the siguature of ius Halicarnassus,” in behalf of Clinton. An Ta. tion pa the Investigator, was established to coun- teract movement. This was highly offensive to Mr. Noah, I was one of the editors, and ridiculed him in every way. Under the law of our State, at the time, the greatest truth was the severest libel. To ridicule & man was libellous, Nouh indicted me for a libel; and, ut the trial, I made the objection to the prose- cution of the case, by an ulien enemy. against @ native citizen, as he could not sue for a debt, he should not prosecute. The point was argued at some length, and The Court decided that Noub was no party to the ease, as the State and the defendant were the only parties I was, of courte. guilty of ridiculi ug him, which was always continued. The Court passed some paltry sen- tence, which the Governor remitted instantly, “That he was an alien I had abundant evidence to prove. Mn.

There is no great harm in being a native of Ca- nada ; for that province, like every other portion of the British colonies—like the United States, before 1776—produces men and animals of all sorts. But it is especially modest to hear Major Noah charging Mr. B. with being an “alien” and a “ foreigner,” under the circumstances now disclosed. Mr. Ben- nett has lived nearly thirty-five years in the United States, nearly twenty-eight of which have been in | New York—and has also been naturalized a long | time since. If the statement of the late Governor Wilson, of South Carolina, be correct—and we see no reason to doubt it—we beg to ask Noah whether he has ever been naturalized? As to his very cu- rious connection with the recovery of the Dutch jewels, and the $3,000 he pocketed on that lucky oceasion, he may rest satisfied that he will get a week of the day of judgment Erock in Tueatnicats ann Ant.—This week will be devoted to the varied accomplishments and talents of three ladies distinguished in the walks ofthe drama, Mrs. Hamblin, formerly Mrs. Shaw, will make her rentrée at the Bowery Theatre, to please her numerous admirers, in that range of characters which has given her so great a reputa- tion ; Miss Davenport will hold the sceptre in the | realms of the muses at the Broadway Theatre, with her bold and aspiring energy; and Miss Cush- | oan will appear at the Astor Place Theatre, with all } her characteristic genius.

After vespers at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, last eve- ning, the Bishop, Right Rev. Dr. Hughes, address- ed the congregation on the return of Pope Pius IX. to Rome. He preached from the words:—‘3ing, O daughter of Zion, shout O Israel, for the Lord hath taken away thy judgments,” &c. He said, joyous tidings have reached us. The illustrious head of the Church of God is in exile no more. ‘The eye of the church has followed him in his wanderings. She has accompanied him with her tears and prayers. For if it be true that when one member of the church suffers, all the members suffer with it, how much greater is the sympathy and suffering, when the head suffers, as if by a conspiracy of the whole world. You may remem- ber when we Catholics heard, in New York, the intelligence of his expulsion, we were under no apprehension, when the false prophets whose wish was father to the thought indulged in false speculations. You had no dread that the the Daughter of Zion would be forsaken, or that the wicked would prevail, any further than to prove that the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. At the same time, it was impossible that we should not feel, deeply feel, when the last successor of St. Peter, numbering two hundred and fifty, was dri- ven from the shrine of the Aposties. We all felt it, and the church prayed from the rising to the setting of the sun. Your heart was sad, because the eyes of all Catholics throughout the world were accustomed to converge on one spot—Rome, the seat of the visible head of the church. Let us now, therefore, rejoice, while we admire the wis- dom of Providence, that allowed statesmen and po- liticians to work out their problems, and then re- stored the Prince of Rome, the Pontiff of the holy Catholic church. The enemies of truth could not have selected a man worse for their purpose. It had been said in this world of progress and grow- ing ideas, that the popes wete on the side of des- potism, and that, for many years, there not been a_ liberal pontiff. ‘This could not be said of Pius. He voluntarily divested him- self, one by one, of privileges that descended to him of right; and what the result was, is too well known to the world. And, if henceforth they find in future popes the firmness of a Gregory, a Leon, or Innoceut the Third, this trimpok is nothing new. The Church has triumphed before. and will triumph again, over democracy, an kings, and the people themselves, when they ima- gine vain things. As the prayers of the the Church were efficacious in restoring St. Peter, when he was in prison, so have they been efficacious in re- storing Pius X. Whereas, in modern times, one conspiracy has followed another against the Church of Christ, and the Pope is the most conspicuous mark for the powers of earth and hell, the event has proved thet, in his official capacity, the Pope cannot die, and will never die, tilf the consummation of the world. If the Pope were expelled, it would not disturb the apostolic succession, though it — discourage for a time the accustomed order of the church. It has been a ey lar cry, (and I regret to say that Catholics have joined in it,) that nothing so expedient as the feperation of the bis ype from the spiritual power of tke Pope. It would undoubtedly be a great re- lief to his believers ; for oer he is a prince, he is really a slave in the multitude and extent of his la- bors: He hes no banquets—his table does not coetas much in the day as that of a moderate family in New York. This is the sort of life spent by the potentate of Rome. To take away from him the temporal power, would therefore be so much of re- lief from care, and work, and responsibility. But | if the Pope were not free from any earthly domi- nion, if he were the subject of any government, how could he freely speak the truth?” It is then es- sential that he should be a sovereign. If we were now to begin anew, perhaps some other sovereign wer might be exerted ; but God himself seems to ave chosen Rome, from the beginning, as the chair of authority in the Catholic Church—the consecrated spot where the apostles St. Peter and St. Paul offered up their lives for the faith. Do the States of the Church belong to the usurpers who claim them? What right have they to them? Do they aoe to the cone 1 Seventy-five out of every one hundred of them would raise their hands and voices for restoration of their beloved father to his inheritance. o further, and I say that, in the order of Christendom, these States belong to us, and are therefore called the States of the Church—not diminished | Pope,who was banished,was, by a singular ment of Providence, restored through the instru- mentality of England, the hater of Pope and Popery. When the teat of spiritual dominion was fixed at Avignon, at one time, things did not seem to go right in the church, so that nce seems to have fixed upon Rome; and if the so- vereign pontiff were removed thence, the star would be missing from its place, which all Catholic eyes have been fixed for 1. years—the star from which they measured their its and took their distances to guide them in their voyage from earth to heaven. If, then, our hearts were sad, is it not fitting that they should now sing and echoes from St. Peter's in the one hymn chaunted by two hun- dred millions hearts—the almost _ inspired composition of St. Ambrose—the sublime Te Deum? Who that has been abroad where it is sung in those basilics in which 15,000 of the people are congre- ied, and all singing it together— old age, strength of manhood, the sprightliness of youth and the lisping of babes—can ever forget the gran- deur of the spectacle? With them we now re- Peabo ape and by that sympathy which ena- les every member of the church to rejoice to- gether, as well as to sufler. And it is a source of consolation tous that even we have done some- thing to solace the Holy Father in his affliction. We have sent him not only the tribute of relief, but the tribute of our affections. The Bishop having concluded this brief address, descended from the pulpit, and the Te Dewn was standing. It was a thrilling me piece of devotion, and had a very imposing effect. American and Foreign Sabbath Union. Last evening, the Rev. Dr. Beruune delivered the annual discourse of the American and Foreign Sabbath Union, at the Church corner of Fourth and | Lafayette streets. Long before the appointed hour, the sacred edifice was filled in every part. ‘The speaker, after a lengthened and eloquent ex- ordium, commenced dilating upon the circumstances under which God set apart the Sabbath, hallowing the seventh day as a day of rest from labor. “He made man in His own image; male and female created he them, and gave them dominion over every living them ;” he rested on the seventh day from all his works, blessing and sanctifying it, Ile made it as his own, and sealed it ae bis own; hence the commandment which declares, ‘* The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” was at the very beginning of man’s life. In « da} nan is to do all his work, and the seventh is to be given to the Giver of all Good. The Sab- bath, therefore, though made for man, is not man’s, but God's. It is ordained, in order that man might, according to the wise and beneficent pur- poses the Creator, hg | the Sabbath. he abstinence from labor on that day is enjoined, in order that it may be allotted to its peculiar pur- pore—the worship of God; that nothing may in- terfere with ovr homage of Him on that bee There are secular blessings connected with t Sabbath, which will overflow into the week ; bat, so fares man’s religious duties are concerned, the Sabbath are distinguishable from the and, therefore, we infer that it wea 1 and immortal creature. As man was a partaker of the divine image, he was mede a partaker of the blessings of the Sabbath day. Man was made as a vicegerent of God over the mundane creatures of inferior creation. God or- dained the Sabbath in the very beginning ; he did not allow man to exist an entire or or to enter fairly upon the various offices to which he was created, before he kept the first day holy. Man owes no duty of allegiance to human faw or human authority, such as will interfere with his devoting that day to God; who, alone, has a right to his re} time for that purpose. It is only as the sense of God's authority, that he cnn feel the duties which he owes to fellows upon earth. Every well kept Sabbath is a return to God, in anticipation of the great return which he must one day make. Not to remember the Sabbath is not to remember God, and to forget God is to forget virtue. The well keeping of the Sabbath is not only a means of moral strength, but a test of sincerity. The speaker then proceeded to discuss subseqnent reve- lations, with regard to the Sabbath, According to apostolical example, we keep the Sabbath on the firet day of the week, because the first after the ereation of the world was ordained to be kept holy. It rs @ re from the toila of a tempting, world. Ilow completely do we per- vert his holy purposes to redeem wa, on that day, from secular care!

The time servers would laugh us to scorn when they see the little tlock that is here arrayed against the world; but the gospel, in its light love, is the wisdom of God, and the gospel will save the Sabbath, Be it our care to show men that we hail the Sabbath with delight. It is the foretaste of eternal joy, and therefore should we look upon it as the happiest of the happy. Annive: Meetings to be Held. lorpay, May 18, Missionary Society of M. E.

Scnpar, May 12-6 P.M. During the past week the stock market has been without any material alteration. The fancies have ‘been more or less active, exhibited nO new feature, and we cannot discover that outsiders have, as yet, to any extent, involved them- selves in the speculation which has so long been pro- gressing, and which is s0 rapidly approaching its eul- minating point. The speculation in fancy stocks this season has been, so fat. confined to those whose profes- sion it is to deal in euch securities, and, like those which have come up nd gone down, the number of operators engaged in inflating prices has been com- paratively limited. When we take into consideration | the cheapness and abundance of money, and the ease with which loans have been, and still can be, effected, of the banks or in the street, it ie « matter of astonish- ment that the almost universal propensity for speeu- lation bas not been more developed; but enough has already beep accomplished to give those interested a taste of the bitter fruits of euch insane operations, Amidst the apparent pro«perity in all branches of trade and departments of industry, we see unmistake- able evidences of the approach of a crisis. The present condition of things is unnatural and the future pros- pect, by no means, favorable, There is a great want of confidence among capitalists and as the season ad- vances. end trade becomes stagnant, we shall feel the effect of the artifeial inflation in prices very sensibly. The stimulus given to commerce by the diseovery of, and production of gold in Celifornia, cannot be eus- tained. It requires something more than the increase Already realized in the supply of gold, to keep the ma- shinery of trade fn full operation, and ina healthy state. Our banks may be piled full of gold and silver. and private credit may beat a very low ebb. The fact that uch a supply of precious metals existe, fe alone sufficient to derange the mevemente of commerce, and create an artificial inflated state of things, which must Look at Great Britain at this momeut, and mark her condition. With upwards of seventeen millions of bullion in | the Bank of England, everything t* paralysed, and | there te not co much real prosperity in the United Kingdom, as when the bank held lees than half as many millions in gold and silver, The agricultaral ela of England are ina most deplorable state, and through them every local intorost suffers, as every one depends more or lees upon the producers, The small tradesmen and rhop-keeperr in the rural distriets are unable to meet their engagements, on account of the poverty of their customers. This falle immediately upon the wholesale dealers, aul from them on the importing merchants, and eventually with double force on the manufacturers in o diminished home trade. and in crippled exports, Throughout Great Britain trade is not timply dull—it ie stagnated. This being the position of commercial alairs abroad, particularly: in Great Britain. where we fd the best customers for all our great exporting eta we cannot hope to es- cape unscathed; we must, as variably have here- tofore, bear the brant of the dey d state of trade in our most imp Whit at Britain requires, comparatively, a limit- ed quantity of our products, her manufactarers lock to this country for markets for those fabrics which find no conenmers at hore, and it is, there fore, probable that we shall be flooded with al} descriptions of manuiactured goods, This we an- ticipate, The inevitable effect of @ reduced home consumption in Great Britain. is eaormous shipments to what are considered the best markets for the sur- plus supply. In the absence of a demand from all other parts of the world, the manafteturers of Great Britain know that we are customers for any quantity of those products at some price; and If srerifices muet be made, they are generally leet in this country then elsewhere, The effect of the California exeite- ment upon our curreney, and upon the speculative propensities of our people, is calculated to increase the consumption of all the luxuries and necers- ries of life; and the manufseturers of Great Britain heve had too munch experience in there Wings to lose eight of, oF neglect the opper | | —— So ee eee Ce —————
