The position | of all riies is not elearly defined ; but it is | pretty conclusively established that the cabinet are | determined to hold on in their course as an indi- | vietblo un “ito make the President appear as | nothing better than an isolated cipher. We mi teke the amiable and kind hearted man at the head of the confederacy, if he permits the cabinet to run | all the lengths which they may desire, before they ean come to their dissolution, by the regular pro- greas of things. They may make it appear that the | President is with them, for them, and a part of | Them, in letters, and by their new newspaper, atill we doubt if he will long continue even to nomi- nally uphold men who are daily sacrificing him , and his original pledges. Still, we hope they will | hold on for some time to come. They are very w areful for certain purposes, cause much amuse- | detween them as to which section ie sickest of t a ment, and furnish letter writers with rich topics. The disaffection of all classes, including the Whig party, to the cabinet has been signally shown im various ways. The whigs have spoken throug the Republic, and last week expressed their dis- pleasure et the cabinet; and the result now is, asale of that newspaper to Messrs. Meredith, Ewing & Co., by which Messrs. Bullitt and Sargent, the edi- tors, retire, to give place to the distinguished whig, as he is termed by the abdicating editors, who has supported several pereons for the President’s chair, and, among others, General Jackson. This move- ment is a great one, for the time, on the part of the eabinet. They will now be in a condition to make themselves fat and saucy, and will make attempts, how successful we shall see, to write the whigs into good behavior and respect for the,administra- tion. The valedictory of the editors of the Republic will be found in another column. It will be read with great interest, and will be found full of meoning. We see in it the signs of a fa- ture, that will renew, among the whigs, the times of Captain Tyler. Our telegraphic and special correspondence gives a world of light, just dawning vpon affairs in Washington, and we are delighted to be assured that we are to have more fen yet from the cabinet. We are anxious to see | how they will manage their cards in opposing Mr. Ciny’s compromise, and in leaguing with the ultras | ef the North for admitting California alone. We | hope they will stick together till the fight is ended. Meanwhile, we have plenty of time to wonder how General Taylor, who came into office, and was supported chiefly by Southern votes, will be able to reconcile the action of his administration with the interests and desires of the people, to whom he | is pledged. ‘The movement already is sufficiently eurious, and the result, we think, will be more so. | It will be truly remarkable, and on very many | aeeounts. Let us wait and watch The Crisis—The Great Debate—The Cabinet —The Obstacle. The great debate on the slavery question began im the Senate on Monday. Mr. Clay commenced the disenssion with one of his brilliant, remarkable and powerful speeches—a speech w tog to all accounts, was eqnal in force and pa- triotiem to those of his best and palmiest days. Verging on the confines of four score years, every patriotic heart must swell when it sees the great statesman of Kentucky, after half a century of | services, still tending up for those great and para- mount constitutional principles, established by the | founders of the republic, and developed by a growth that has outstripped every country under the sun Asitis said by a revolutionary cotemporary at | Washington—the Republic—we are really and troly in “the beginning of the end ;” but whether thet s merely the commencement of another eentyy’s march of glory and greatness for this siete: hood of republics, or whether it be the be- gir ng ofa fatel sectional dissension, leading to tv arreetion, disorder, and future bor wars— whether the first picture or the last is to be the result of this debat pends entirely on the pa- trictiem and probity of the present Congress—on the intelligence ond awakening spirits of the American people. We fear for the result. The elements of the disturbed atm at Woshing- ton look black and forebod Yet, sometimes, in the midet of the gloom whieh surrounds the eapi- tal, we think we see in the noble eflorts of euch men as Clay, Webster, € Mangum, and others asso- ciated with them in this creat and novel movement -stillfwe think we see gleams of brightness and fait ahead. The dangers which menace the of the great question of the day, have weather settlen hitherto originated in the horrible and biasphemous fanaticiem of the North, which has been graphi- cally represented, to the life, by Gar ‘8 anti slavery troupe, in the t conventic held in inspection of Captain police. To this has well-founded reste rn people, by the ttacks organized in the free States, upon Southern A large portion of the rey of the North ery aloud for and nothing leas, it would this metropolis, under the Rynders and his volantary been added the exe ut produced among the South Boe | i sentatives and people the Wilr tutions. t provi seem, Will sotiefy them. An equally large portion of the Southern people very n uily demand the fidently poir past legislation for ws torical pre+ eedents for the settlement of this distarbing tion on such a basia. The de ls of a fanatics are unreasonable; whil thongh more reasonable, are equally difficult in tb and beyond these diflicuities int into which the country has been found that the greate of all obstac by the cabinet, selected by General Taylor himeetf, end now installed apparently in pe at W This cabinet have fo: eur noble President a policy which, by 1g, during the present session, California alone, leaves the oh erritories, and the whole distarbing ques tion, asa nocleus ef greater excitement and of more menacing dangers than even that which has been hitherto exhibited. The policy thus promalguted Dy the cabin onder the eanction of General Taylor's name, is the policy of the fanatics—the presen tTarar shington Jmit Indeed, this state of things, and these dangers of the position assumed by the cabinet in reference to the question, are obvious to the leading membersin Congress, favorable to General Taylor, and to one journal at Washington, established to support Ge- neral Taylor’s administration. There can be no doubt of @ serious and fatal division between the cabinet anda large portion of the leaduig whig members in Congress, on this very point ; and the Washington Republic, seeing the danger of the crisis, boldly and determinedly came out before it passed to other hands, and advocated the policy of @ general compromise as the only platform that would give safety to the future. In the further- ance of this view of the matter, we quote the fol- lowing from the Republic of Monday :— THE BEGINNING OF THE END. This day has been consecrated to the opening of a debate in’ the Senate ot the United States, which has equal, in the magnitude of the consequences that are to flow from it. in any parliamentary struggle that hus yet boon witnessed in that body. The his- tory of Uke Senate is replete with exainples of brilliant eonilict, but at no past period bave the representatives of the States and of the people been summoned to higher or more dangerous duties. The country stands on tiptoe, awaiting im bresthiess anxiety the tidings which every breeze shall waft from the centre to the viroumference of the contederacy we question is, sball there be harmony, and fraternity, and Union? or shall there be discord, estrangement, and convulsion? The crisis ix near at hand. The coming time is full of fate. Dectiny teems impatient of the approaching struggle, as though issues were close at haad of graver maguitude than any hitberto confided to mortal de- cision Does not the exhibition in the Senate, on ab eighth instant, admonish the country that the agitation will be kept up both at the North and the South, if there is anything left to agitate upon? ‘The reyelation was but too palpable. and ns painful as ob: Tt amounted yas, toa declaration that agitation will be renewed; and the probabilities are that it will grow fiercer and more incendiary i of the territory it is waged upon. In quarrels of this nature, commenced im folly and continued in infatua- tion, the smailer the object of strife the bloodier the battle over it. This is the cage with creeds, rituals, and formularies of divinest strueture; it is eminently © in family fueds, to which these inkensate troubles may be lik 1k would be a souree of gratification if the tempor of Congress was propitious Lo the passage of the com- . secparate measures, Those respecting » and the Texas boundaries are coaneeted from necessity, “But we apprehend that the condition ot the repre jou is not conducive to that kind of legislation which requires the most amicable under- standings to complete. If it were so, however, we would yet modify our opinions in defereuce to counsels of a committee composed of gentlemen who command the respect and admiration of all parties, all sections and all ages. Weare for peace—for what will produce peace. And we conscientiously believe that, if the people of the country could be brought to @ vote upom the propositions of the committer, us a settlement of { all their troubles, distrusts, and hoart-burnings, they would be found. North and South, East and West. the Far West aud the Southwest, rolling up majorities for hem of four, nay, often toone. It would be a str w Mexicr «rous enmities whieh faction aud fanaticism have nimity ot expressing their love of the Union, and de- tire for fraternity, concord, and mutual good will. For these reasons, we shall «upport all the measures relating to the territory acquired by the treaty of Gua: dalupe Hidalgo in one bill—the * Oinnibus’” bill, as the witlings of the day will have it. We are for the “ Om- pibus” bill, The “Omnibus” is the greut convenience of the day. It isthe people's conveyance, Itix that whieh taker them home safely and cheaply. It is the chariot of the republican, the working-man, the bone and finew; the men whose hearts are blistered and whose peace in sacrificed by political incendiaries, — We are not arhamed to take our seat in the Omaibus” with the illustrious statesmen of the age; with patriots — peacemakers; with the men of the Union whoare for the Union. ' Nor shall we, as we rumble along over rough pavements and broken cross-ways in #uch com: pany, envy those outsiders who whip their jaded steeds amain to keep pace with the “coupee,” the ~ buggy.” or the “sulky” in which some cue, “solitary and alone,” is wheeled along the golden sands of Ualiiornia, This is the true and correct view of the present position of this disturbing question ; but for this, the, old editors have deen ousted by the cabinet. This view is entertained by the best men of both houses, and the truest friends of the President him- self. Unfortunately, however, the influence of the cabinet—an influence which is given to them by the President's good nature—is adverse to a permanent or comprehensive settlement of this question, grow- ing out of a desire, in their weakness, to increase the excitement, in the belief that something may turn up favorable to them. ‘The folly, corruption, mismanagement and nepotism which have charac- terized the cabinet for the last nine months, having deprived them of all strength and force in both houses of Congress, they now rush upon this ex- citing question, adopt California alone, and abandon all reasonable grounds of general compromise, in order that something mey happen favorable to their continuance in power. The opposition of the Pre- sident’s cabinet to the permanent and final settle- ment of the slavery question on the basis of the compromise now in debate, is therefore the most fatal obstacle yet presented in the capitol. During the last six months the fanaticism and abolitionism of the North have given way in numerous in- stances, and the recent meetings, here and elee- where, in which the blasphemies of Garrison were heard, have been calculated ,to excite still more the feelings of the South; but when we find the whole force of the Executive power, inthe shape of cubinet influence, appropriating to itself the po- pularity of the name of General Taylor, and wield- | ing all this in opposition to a comprehensive, per- manent and ready settlement of this disturbing con- troversy, we must confess that the prospect be- comes darker and darker the longer we look upon ite lineaments. We are, therefore, of opinion, that, notwith- standing the patriotic endeavers of the leading and distinguished Senators in Congress, to bring this j fatal controversy to a termination at the present session, the obstacles presented by a corrupt, im- becile abolition cabinet, acting under the patriotic name of General Taylor, will be the means of de- feating them. We believe that nothing but a radical change in the cabinet—a complete reno- vation of the heads of the Departments at Washing- ton—can bring about that harmonious feeling in both houses of Congress, which would give hope and certainty to a speedy settlement of all these perplexing difficulties, on the basis of a compro- mise suitable tothe North, South, East, and Weet. The cabinet is the obstacle, and the cabinet is the principal obstacle. As long as the cabinet remain in power, excitement and danger will remain in Congress, and increase in the ccoontry. Rumors anovr Mrs. We lear, from the best authority, that Chevalier Wikoff has no intercourse with Mra. Forrest, or her friends, #o that all the reported negotiations of his, which have been proclaimed from time to time, are found to be mere assumptions on his part—a part of that system which keeps him constantly meddling with other people's business, and deprives him of attending to his own. It is trae, however, that one of the theatrical managers has offered Mis. Forrest very handsome terms to appear upon the stage, for which she is so well calculated. She ie a beautiful der, has a tiner figure, a better voive, and more spiritual countenance than Mre. Kemble, and would, doubtless, triamph in the art All the inducements, however, all her own genius for the stage, and her many acc cannot perauade her to take this step dignantly refused to accept the proposition, and, we hear, is determined to maintain her bigh pos- tion as a retired lady, despite of the attacks which have been made against her by Mr. Forrest and his friends, conscious that she will be triamphaat in the end, in eustaining herself against all the odds that threaten her. ‘onnest’s Lenten ric mplishrents, She has in- Orn Retations wrrn Hayti.—Oar last advices from Hayti bring accounts of further outrages by sof Soulougue. Time after tune have d our government of the conti- nof these outrages, but as yet nothing hae been done to proteet American citizens oo that island. It is high time the government take the matier in hand, and wt once send a war steamer to their coast, and compel them to treat our citizens as they should be treated.

It is a policy calculated to drive still further, and to excite, still more, the al- ready excitable people of the Southern States. newspapers have given various opinions upon the recent free discussions of the anti-slavery fanatics. Some call them riots—others, outrages on liberty of speech; and a stranger to the entire facts might form a very erroneous opinion of the whole matter, from the comments of the press. Our reports have pictured the scenes very faithfully, and have given the only reliable view of the subject. The whole performance was one of free discussion, carried to its extreme. The same tactics were used as pre- vail in the House of Commons when an unpopular speaker attempts to address that assembly. The whole public were delegates at these meetings, and had all the preliminary arrangements been in parliamentary style, much confusion would have been avoided. As Roger de Coverly says, much may be said on both sides. Garrison had the foulest tongue, and Rynders the dirtiest face. Garrison’s party uttered atrocious blasphemies and anti-christian opinions, perfectly shocking to many of his own friends—Rynders’s followers displayed their rough hands, and ejaculated a few sailor's benedictions, calming the blood of the heated fa- natics, sometimes by persuasion, sometimes by the terrors of promises, and sometimes by applause and shouts of derision. The parties were about equally balanced, while the spectators were merely passive in the affair. Garrison had invited Rya- ders and others to see the play, and to take part in it, and they did so, crowding out the regularly trained actors, who had all their speeches com- mitted tomemory. The old actors were not mach abused; but the text of the play was not at all agreeable—just as we have seen a play at Drury Lane, when we could not hear more than a line on account of the noise. Garrison and his asso- ciates had undertaken to introduce blasphemies and auti-christian language, such as never before the time of Robespierre and the French revolution, such language might have been heard in private, but was not publicly uttered. Tom Paine never attempted to assail mankind by such means. The meetings of Owen and of Fanny Wright, at Tam- | many Hall and at the Park theatre, twenty years ago, were respectable and fashionable and respect- ful. The infidels and atheists of that day were decent—but Garrison’s infidelity and wickedness are shocking. DRaWING-RooM Cur Cuat.—The Lord Bishop of Jamaica and his lady, Mrs. Spencer, attended divine worship on Sunday morning, at the Rev. Dr. Hawkes’ chureh, in Eighth street. The fashionable church in St. Jehn’s Square was attended by his Lordship in the afternoon. On Saturday evening, the distinguished party accepted an invitation from Miss Anne ©. Lynch, in Ninth street, when they were presented, by the poetess, to a circle of the eminent literati of the metropolis. This occurred at one of the Seturday receptions of Mies Lynch, who entertains many of the principal authors and artists in the city, every week in the season. These sotrées are exceedingly agreeable and fashionable, and create quite a buzz in certain circles, so much so, that many inquiries are made with respect to the family of Miss Lyneh, who has given the world many pretty verses, chiefly in the Spenserian stanza, to which her muse appears to be wedded. It is supposed by some, that the poetess Dominic Lynch, but this is quite a mistake. She is a scion of one of the United Irishmen families, which came over to this country with Emmett and several New England cities—Hartford, where the world, after her echool days at Albany were ov Providence, and, in the summer season, at New- port and other fashionable places—always drawing guished persons, by her fascinating manners and literary accomplishments. Braxcu Mint 1x New Yora.—If the members of Congress have any power todo the public an eseential and much desired service, it is to be hoped that they will not neglect to lend their influence for the establishment of a branch mint in this city.

There have been eight hundred and seventy-tour complaints made to the Corporation Attorney, for violation of corporation ordinanees. It will be perceived that du- ring the months of November and December, the were twenty-eight hundred and four and a half days lost by policemen by sickness, making an average of forty-+ix per dey. During the months of January, February and Meach there were twenty-nine hundred and eighty oF lost 4 policemen by sickness, making rage of thirty-three men per day. During the he specified. there were fifty-seven hundred ighty-seven and a half days lost by policemen by sickness, making an average of thirty eight men per dvy During the preceding six months, the servicos of fifty-eight men per day were lost to the department by sickners. This improvement in the condition of the depariment has been brought about by the order issued by your Honor. based on the law passed Aprill1, 1849, requiring the pay of all policemen whe were absent. from duty without leave,to be deducted from the pay roll. unless they should prove to your Honor that their abrence was caused by sickness or disability, conse- quent upon the discharge of their public duty. ‘This Crder went into effect on the 12th of January inst,and it will be seen by a reference to the statistics furnish- ed. thet the amount of time lost bas diminished nearly one balf sinee that time, This is truly a gratifying ré- sult. and sugurs well for the future efficienoy of the department, and if the order is rigidly adhered to, it may be anticipated that there will still be a large re- duction in the emount of time lost by sickness, as compared with previous months, During the period of five months. there have been twenty-tour thousand andtwenty-cight persons accommodated with lodgings, nine hundred and forty-seven lost children restored to their parents, one hundred and fifty-three persons found in the streets sick. who were aided and assisted, seventy. six-pe rsons rescued from drowning, one hun- dred and fourteen fires extinguished, seven handred and ninety-one stores and dwellings found open aud secured. and one hundred and forty-four horses and cattle found astray, and restored to their owners, b; members ef the department. There were $16,320 taken from drunken men and lodgers at the different station houses, and restored to them again. ‘All of whieh ie respectfully submitte: . W. MATSELL, Chief of Police.

The Erie Railroad Company are extending branches in every direction. and the management will ind that apy vitality the main trunk might have possessed, will be required ty support these lateral roads, Branches are millstones about the neck of any eom- pany, and are sure to drain it of its life blood. We have seen the operation of this system in New Eng~ land. and in every ease it has proved disastrous, The Exie Raiiroad Company has taken anether branck: road under its proteetion, as will be seen by the an- nexed extract from the Erie Democrat :— The Erie and Northeast Company are to lay their track the same width of the New York and Erie, and have it finished by the time the latter are ready connect, or sooner. it they please, together with the necessary depot and water stations.

The ex- penses of the Erie Railroad, forrunning and repairs, are large cnough to sink any amount of income, with- without any aid from branch roads. ‘The aunexed statement exhibits the value of importa into, and exports from, the pert of Honolulu, Oahu, for the year ending December 31, 1849 :— Commence oF Hoxoneny, Oane Import United States of America.

This, doubtless, was all in gold dust; and the exportation of provisions and vegetables, from Honolulu to San Franciseo. has given an impetus to industry in their cultivation, which must prove very Profitable to the Sandwich Islands, generally.
