This looks as though the House wer d intended to do some- thiog uuti- fu y ka, the cushion m | chairs, und side sofas, tobe removed from hall | of the I ptatives, leaviag nothing but plain sufficient to give seats to all the members, they would do five times as mach busi- ness in the regular hours of session aa they now do, and would be under no necessity to have any night sittings Iu the Senate, Mr. Clay presented some resola- tiens fre Kentucky in faver of union, and Me Bodger olivred a resolution that the Senate meet at 11 A. M., which was adopted. The Senate then Went to Werk upon the Compromise bill, and voted on severe! amendments whieh had been previously offered by Duyton and Walker. Mr Yulee moved to amend the 10th sectioa of the Claytoa Compro- mise of 1848, extending the constitation and laws of the United States over the territories. This was earn. a—yeas 30 and nayg2t. It amounts to nothing. The Senate mightus well have passed a law endors- ing the constitution and laws of the United States. Mr. Beldwin, of Conn., then moved that the Mexi- cun law ebolishing slavery be continued in furce, which wos reject nays, 52; yeas, 23—when the Sepute adjourned. Ic-will be seen by the despatch from one of oar Private corresponde: that he supposes from th: passuge of the Yulee amendment, that the com- promise will pass. We see no reason for any such supposition, so far as the Senate is concerned.— There is no chance whatever for it in the House. There had been no official iaformation received | by the President ef the execution of any Cuba prmoners. The eonduct of the Nashville Convention since it had been in session, is worthy of all praise from the North. Every thing has been condacted with that dignity which gear rally cheraeterizes the sit- stings of Southern deliberative bodies. Those who looked forwerd to violeat and exciting resolutions are disappointed, Nothing of the kind has, as yet ‘taben place, of that cheraeier in that assembly.— However, the committee to prepare resolat presenied to the convention, which, one ig pursed, will cause more excitement and conster- Nu tion ymrong the politicians of both parties in the North, then if they had passed at Nashville forty resvlutians in favor of dissolving the Union on the | } 4th of July neat. We allude to the resolution in regeid to candidates and nominations ia the Noithern conventions for the offices of Pre- sident und Vice President of the United Btates, If the South carry out that resolution in good faith and epirit, or if any five States im the South will do #0, they have Northern ' would hove prevented the sailing of the expe: urder the command of General Lopez, and thereby hove averted the deplorable fate that may have be- fallen the ad tury of State, and | *pring from the pr , are yet et tinge rdustry and tranga illity.

When we look at the singular apathy of the gov- ernment, ond all those ia their interest, relative to | the fomenters, contrivers, nnd aiders of this expedi« limits of the United States— + faets the extraordinary, dold, tion, now within the when we add to the warlike, und “sanguinary” position assumed by Mr. Clayton towards the Caban authorities, in re- ference to those who were canght ia the Gulf of Mexico under the command of Cabaa leaders—we ure very much disposed to think that Mr. Claytoa and the cabinet have unanimoasty come to the eoa- clusion to produce, out of t liewted didi culty, “a sanguivery war” with Spaia, tat may end in as brillient a result as the recent war with Mexico. In bringing about such a purpose, our conmercia! and naval interests will be sacriti | but politicians don’t care for that. Our foreign trade will be more at the merey of Spanish cruisers op the Atlantic and other seas, thun it was during | the Mexican war, and, perchance, other naval powers may step into the arena and take a decided port in (hese transactions. It may now be considered certain, that, from the very important correspondence which we publish- ed in full yesterday, there is not htest diffi- cuhy for Mr. Claytou and the eabinet, ia stirring up | the elements so us to prodnee, ia less thaa three | months, ‘a sunguinary war’? with Spaia, respect- ing this Cuban affair. According to all appearances end in conformity with every word in Claytoa’s despatches, this seems to be the settled and fixed porpose of the present administration, acting under the great mantle of popularity which General Tay- ler carried with him into the White House. Our naval interests, our merchants, our insurance com- panies will, therefore, take warning in time. We are on the verge of some serious results, growing out of the recent expedition to Cuba. It hangs oa the evotrdupcis of a hair,—on “a single drop of blood.” If the Governor of Cuba sheds that * sia- gle drop of bleod "—and he probably has not the | nicest eensibilities in this basiness—we have the wseurance of the Secretary of State, that a “ sao- guinery war” with Spain will be the result. Is this bluster or petriotisa:? Is it the language of a high minded, courteous diplomatisi, anxious to pre- serve the honor and peg) of the country in a se- riows difficuliy ? Or is at the bluster of « politici determined to prov “ sanguinary War,” der to hide under Lor Cabe, the Gelphin corruptions of a weak cabinet? Let us know. ‘Tne Nasnviiie Convention, at tue Norta.—A greet culumity has befallen several classes of the Northern politicians, about these daye. The free eoilers, the abolitioniets—the anti slavery men of all kinds—have been completely disappointed at the proceedings of the National Conveation at Nash- | ville. The Northern politicians among us—part philesophere, part ecoundrels—bave had every rea- fon to suspect that the National Convention would proceed at once to a division of the Union, the destruction of the constitution, and go right away to work to break Ucle Sam’s crockery, to the last tea-pot and cup and saucer. They will not be con- spirators at Nashville—they will not be traitors to the Union! They act like rational, decent, ho- nerable men; and hence the disappointment, the rage, the indignation, which their atrocious conduct hus produced upon the leading organa of all the ultra politiciens, Only look at the agonies of a sheet called the Evening Post, which circulates politicians at their complete mercy. Neither the | @ fewer hundred eopies amid a few hundred abolition- whig nordemocratic perty can make a President | ite. Without the aid of those States; and the Southern or even a minority of them, can decide which condidate chail be elected; and after the ex- perience of a Southern President chuosiag an abo- liton cabinet, we venture to say the South will ve the Presidency to no man who will not bind Limeeif with cords of steel to Southern’ terests aud | Southern institution Office-seekers have a arw buuk to learn, aud democrats in New Y inealea- late bow moeh they will probably meke by frater- nizing With abolitionists end free soilers, We have not time more than to refer to the telegraphic | Feport of the fourth day’s proeeediags of the Nash- | Ville Copvention, which will be found in another | column Oar DiGienives w The mysterie om Cobo, are eoming out, and it lovks equally | ewongh, Mi Clayton, the 4 tcan Seeretary of Star, in one of bis lest end most important letters, duted from the Stete departinent, and sent to the American Cowul at Havens, staves, in reference tw the present complicated und serious position of thete relations with Cubs, that, if the Governor of that iehind “* shed bloud, at this ting Countries & ranguinety wer.” the disposion, he com easily n unjustly owe drop.of Americsa period, it may cost the two lf Mr she Unis prediction @ meatier of feet, and that, too, in bese than six onthe.

These, though enly the work of a few Soathera Sr » partially represented, yet proceed, evidently, accurate men. fo- d@ of showing « desire of breaking all the crockery ef the nation, and upsetting all the strong- holds ef the constitution, they quietly pass resola- tions for holding another convention, in order to unite the South in the selection of a candidate for the next Presidency. That isthe best thing they have done. Ifthe South should ani. oa the ques tien of the Presidency, they will have more iofla- | e, and will cause » greeter fright in the hearts of the politiomns of the North, than they possibly could do by any other couree or mode of aetion.— All the pertios here are epoile-pirties, and all they want ie the spoile, If the South should take an independent view on the qaestion of the Presideacy, and be united pon it, th would carry all they went to carry; if not in this, yet in the next Con fiers.

We per- | Niblo’s in the epring, not being auited to the present season. Asin London the full Opera season is at its height in June, so it will be here during the pre- tent month. Fushionable Soutnern families and diplomatic circles, are already moving into the city to enjoy the great entertainments known to be ia preparation. Signor Pader, a great geniusin his line, bas done more to settle the Cuban difficulty than ever Signor Clayton could dof even with the whole navy of the United States at his comm ind; for, with his single troupe, he has done more than all the troops of General Lopez, and is likely to carry oft from New York more money than the brave invader did from Cardenas. All this is to be uttributed to his superior ekill, by which he ia bringing, as if by the influence of magic art, all the diplomatieta from Washington around him. Among theee, Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, with his lady, will soon grace a sofa at the Opera.

Tar Lawrence Divonce Gase.—The Boston tion to the diffigulics between the soa of Abbott Lawrence, our present Minister to Engla +d, and his wile, as disclosed at the trial at Louisville, on the wife’s application for a divorcee. A fall statement on the part of the Lawrence family, is promised ia a few days, embracing all the various eorrespon- dence which led to the marrige, continued daring its duration, and caried on down to this, its anfa- vorable and disastrons termination. ‘This is a queer specimen of fashion, its coarse, and its. ter- imipation.~ One of the charges brought agamst Mr. Liw- Tence’s spouse, it is ssid, is that she appeared ia Besten uta party or biti distinguished by @ plain calico dress.

It seems he cannot get over the curions and well-established fact, that we obtained and published, «8 the agent of the political universe, Sir Henry Bulwer’s famous letter to Mr. Chatfield, one of the best specimens of true diplo- miatic epistolary style that Sir Henry has yet writ- sten. We think it very amusing and remarkable that this Wall street journal should be so lofty in its pretentions, in view of its own sinister practices. Whole peragraphs, end sometimes whole columns, are stolen fiom tie deruld, to earich its eolumas; this eystem of whelesale appropriation is car~ tied on, from day to dsy, and from ir to year, with no credit attached to the article taken‘from us.
