The Compromise bill was taken up, when Mr. Clay rose and expressed a hope that Mr. Benton would postpone making the motioa, (to post- pone the consideration of the Compromise bill inde- finitely, whieh Mr. Benton gave notice list Friday that he would move yesterday.) Mr. Benton declined and moved thet the further consideration of the bill be postponed until the 4th of March, 1851. He followed his motion by a lengthy speech against Mr. Clay’s course and the Compror bill, and in favor of the immediate edmission of California by herself. After he had finished, personal matters were discussed by Messrs. Daw- son and Hale, after which Mr. Cass got the floor, and the Senate adjourned. We hope the old vete- ran of Kentucky will have the physical strength to reply to the old Bullien to-day, and give him such a@ scathing as he merits for his ungenerons and mest unmanly course towards Mr. Clay, and the ether members of the Committee of Thirteen. Our private telegraphic correspondence states that Mr. Green reports St. Domingo in very un- setiled state. The United States steamer Vixen, Tying at Washington, is ordered to sail to-day— destination supposed to be Cuba, with despatches for Commodore Parker, and Gen. Campbell, the American Consul at Havana. ‘The proceedings of the Noshville Convention will be fovnd in another column. They are very mtereeiing. Cuban Affairs. Frem all the information which we have re- ecived from Havane, by various sources of intelli- gence—vie New Orleans, Charleston, Washington, and by steamer direct—we have no longer any doubt that the Cuba invasion, insurrection, &c., is all settled; and so effectually, that there is no probebility of any further attempts at invasion for the next ten years. ‘The only iseue now existing between this go- vernment and that of Cuba, is in reference to those priconers taken by Cubans at Woman's Island, a portion of Mexican Yucatan, and, as lately report- ed, ia vereelson the high sea. These prisoners are now confined on board a Spanish vessel of war, in the harbor of Havana, and are undergoing a trial by Spanish law. Long ere this, the Captain neral of a has received the ultimatum of Mr. Clayton, and we may feel assured he will not be guilty of fo suicidal a policy towards Spain, as to harm a hair of the head of these prisoners, The avhole matter will probably be amicably settled in a few weeks, and these men will retura to their home: General Lopez has been arrested in New Orleans, and will undoubtedly be. tried for his erimes aguinst our laws. ‘There probably will be a great deal of eympathy shown by the people in New Or- Jeans, but there will be no sympathy shown by G neral Taylor. Throughout the whole ef this Cuban en barrasement, he has, for the first time since he beceme President, shown that prompt decision and energy which marked his character on the Lattle-fieldsfof Mexico, and his finger has been ecea in every move made by the different members of the cabinet. They have played their proper parts— seconds—not the first in the administration. Pre- sident Taylor has shown that he will adhere to treaties, and maintain them unbroken on our part, at all hazarde.

The injurioas | result can easily be imagined by mercantile men. Here is one vf our most respectable firms at- tueked by the cabinet, and the most serious injury done them in more ways than one. Ifthe cabinet would have accepted it, Rossire & Co. could have | given any amount of bonds, end endorsed by fifty | merchants, that they were engaged in a legitimate | business, and the vessel could have been allowed to proceed on her voyage without a day’s detention. We learn that the vessel and cargo have been abandoued to the U.S. government. Make the best of this cise, and yet a scandalous outrage has been perpetrated by Mr. Clayton upon oae of our most respectable commereial houses. It is a cool blooded outrage, that has never before been committed by any adini- | nistration since the formation of the federal govern- ment. Every large mercantile house engaged in the foreign trade—every ehip and steamship owner, is liable to the same uncalled-for wrong. It is a blow at one house, which should be reseated by every mercantile firm that goes on "change, for their turn may come next. ‘We hope the firm of Rossire & Co. will at once make out an aceount of the damage and loss they have been unjustly forced to iacur, and memorial- ize Congress. We have no doubt this body will at once make an appropriation for the relief of Rossire & Co. and the owners of the Kate Boyd, and thus signify the disapprobation which Congress must feel towards the cabinet, for this gross interference with the rights ofthe New York merchants. Mr. Clayton singular man in his idea of American righte. His letter, of a recent date, to Mr. Camp- bell, where he speaks of the “ eagle,” “shedding a drop of American blood,” &c., &c., shows that this secretary would make a most capital country editor, to write short exciting articles just previous to an election ina smalitown. At the same time that he is bursting with patriotism about American rights in Cuba, he is giving orders to break up the business and injure the property of one of our first- class merchants. Fasnionamie Divorces in Exoiaxn.—There seems to be acon petition between England and this country, in the matter of domestic dissola- tions, as there is in the manufacture of domestic goods. A very curious pase is now before the House of Lords, a report of which will be found in our columns, Two distinguished families are eon- cerned in it, and the history of the affair revealssome extroordinary facts with reepect to the manners and morals of some of the English nobility, in their fashionable toure on the continent, where, fre- quently, titled ladies and gentlemen get into Ame- ri society, and eat fashionable American din- nere, on the strength of their titles only, while their conduct, if fully known to their hosts, would | ehut them out from all euch entertainments. Lord | Lincoln seems to have had full ground for com- | plaint egainet his lady, who has travelled, by the name of Mrs. Lawrence, in the company of aaother noble lord, and under his protection, residing in verious fashionable places, and, among the rest, at that poetical loeality, the Lake of Como. The intelligent reader will be surprised to see how far, and with what an indifferent and non chalant air, such derelictions from the paths of pro- | priety can be carried, by those whose chief basis of respectability is in a long line of ancestry, and in | tranemitted honor. The Forrest divorce case, and | the Lawrence case, in this country, are mere trivi- | alities, when compared with the evidence fatnish- | ed dy this report before the House of Lords; and | though Lord Brougham makes an important effort to represent that the whole alleged criminality is a mere contrivance to bring about a divorce, yet the world will ecarcely see through such sy tacles es his erratic lordship uses when looking at | We had supposed a series of very peculiar facts. that we could get up divorce cases in this country with some skill, but if it can be proved that Lady Lincoln has been playing a part for eriticism in the louse of Lords, we must confess that the Laglish nobility are more ingenious than our calico and theatrical perloraere, gener. | | | ‘Tes Heaven or Mr. Ciay.—The annovacemeat of Mr. Clay's illness has been received with very deep regret by the community at large. There seems something ominous in even a slight attack | of illness, at a time when there is an absorbing in- | terest on the great question of the day. We can- not forget thet it was in the midst of a similar ex- citement that Mr. Calhoun, who might have lived to this day, received a shock in the political con- | flict which his weak frame could not sarvive. We eincerely trust that political asperitice and rashnesa may not produce a parallel case to that of Mr. Cal- | houn. We should seriously deplore any wokind | treatment towarde the great patriot and inte/ligent | stateeman whose labors and genius the whole country delights to honor. | Mn.

Itisdifficult to get at theanimes and sense of the whole affair, which is as complete- ly involved as the most difficult passage in “Para- dise Loot.” It is a matter of extreme doubt to which end we are about to arrive, out of two or three very important ones which suggest them- selves as natural terminations to recent events and to the policy of our cabinet. In Mr. Clayton’s Cuban correspondence, we look ip vain for any statesmanlike, definitive avowal of purpose. He appears only to have added uncertain- ty to that which was sufficiently obseure before. Even Mr. Green’s sudden arrival from Hayti does not clear up the matter, but gives room fora few more grave doubts and mysteries, because the Spanish au- thorities have recently designed to aid the Domini- cans against the black Emperor. Rolling the acts of the goverment into one ball, and labelling that with “Mr. Clayton’s correspondence,” we havea perfect diplomatic curiosity, more curious than the rolled up mummy, and more mischievous than a combus- tible ehell destitied to commence a bombardment. We are, in fact, prepared for any anything and everything. The seizure of a vessel here, bound for Hayti—the mock rolemnity of investigating the conduct of the Cuban assailants, in the various dis- trict courts of the United States—the instructions connected with the protection of California ships and their crews—the close interview held with Mr. Green after his sudden visit to Washington—the cabinet meeting on Sunday, with all its concurrent | curious ifs and buts—all these things make up a mystery greater than has kept Europe in suspense | as to the course of France on the Grecian question. Notwithstanding all the mystery, however, one thing is very certain. It is a positive and glaring fact, that Mr. Clayton, in his correspondence with | Mr. Campbell, our Consul at Havana, has dis- coursed, with unparsimonious poetical patriotism, of the “eagle” and ‘the single drop of blood,” in a style that would almost equal the fancifal flight of a village Fourth of July orator, or the fresh editor of a village newspaper, on the eve of an election for hog-reeve and pound keeper, Instead of taking up our relations with Spain, in his State papers, with gravity, dignity, and firm determina- tion, he acts like a boy just g academy, who has just been made editor of the | village advertiser. After such a display of a phatically has termed it, what can we expect? or, rather, What can we not expect? Are we to have | a general confusion with Spain, with Cuba, or St. | Domingo? Or, are we to be embroiled with all of | these together? A political amalgamation with Ilayti would suit Mr, Clayton and his abselitionist friends, and meke Seward and Hale grin with joy. | Mr. Clayton and the cabinet seem ripe for bursting out at all hazards, and for casting seeds of discord somewhere, that a large growth of events may | + conceal Galphinism, and cover up and conceal all scrts of investigutions. | In this state of perplexity, end while a perfect destitution of principle worthy of beiag called states manship, is obvious at every point, our oaly hope is in the President of the United States, who, standing out before his cabinet, can bring the | whele involved and mysterious affair into a pro- | per compass for action, in accordance with the | character of the country and the wishes of the | people. As for Mr. Clayton, we have no hope in | him whatsoever. He is just as foolish and mad in | one way as the Governor of Havana isin another. | Poth ought to retire to private life, and study dia cretion, and learn to improve their judgments re- | spectively. Spain will not justify, we think, her | Governor, and the President of this republic will | not forget his duty to his country. Axavat Commencement or THe University oF tux Crry or New Yors.—The seventeenth annnal commencement of this institution will be held et the Astor Place Opera House, on Wednesday fore- noon, June 26th. The celebrity which this Uni- versity has acquired, end the high reputation its professors enjoy, have always commanded a great | number of students, who have given evidence of the most flattering reeults of proficiency and learn- ing. During the present session, we have no doubt it will present a more numerous list of graduates | than it hae éver done since its foundation ; and we | are confident that the present commencement, on | | Wednesday, June 26th, will exhibit a greater con- | centration of intelligence and erudition, and will, in every respect, present a more brilliant assembly, than that which characterized the last annual commencement of this institution. | | | Coxriscarion or Estates iy Havana.—The following persons were cited te appear at Havana, within nine days from the seventeenth ef last month, for trial before the military tribonal :— Aguero Macias, Ketancour, Villaverde, and Chrie- | tovel Madan; the latter, we believe, a relative of | Mr. O'Sullivan. They will be tried, probably, par | contumace, and the result will be the confiscation of their estates. They are wealthy planters, and | the result will be looked upon with great interest, even by those not interested immediately im the | property of those persons. Tux Sroot-Pickon Mysteries aGam vr in rae | Skssions.—The trial of J. Arlington Bennet, on the | second charge, was called up yesterday in the Seerios \d Was postponed to a future day. An- other interesting and brief dialogue ensued on these | mysteries, in which the District Attorney took a | a very decided position. Can he explain the diffe- rence between his law in the Drury indictments, and that of Justice Oeborn in the case of One-Eyet?

Itis now four months since the Board of Assistant Aldermen adopted their report, and the Board of Aldermen have been all that time eoming toa decision upon the simple question—in what papers they ought to insert their advertisements ? and the best of the joke is, that they are as far as ever from a solution of the difficulty. After being referred, and referred back, and referred again to another committee, it is now referred once more to another still, and Heaven knows where the references are toend. If the Finance Committee ehould be as tedious as the Committee on Ordinances, we may expect their report some time next fall. A short time since, Mr. Haws, the Chairman, being questioned as to the reason of the deley, said it arose from the difficulty of the com- mittee agreeing among themselves; and, now that they have agreed, they have only agreed to what they well knew would be rejected. An Aldermanic mountain was in labor, and a ridiculous mouse is brought forth. ‘There would be no difficulty in arriving at a decision eatiefactory to the public, if these gentlemen acted for the people in the way they would act for them- selves. If they wanted, as merchants, to insert an advertisement, they would insert it in the papers of the highest circulation, because, by so doing, they would get treble, or even sixfold value for their money. Let them sect in this way by the citizens whom they have sworn to serve, and they wil) | very speedily loosen the gordian knot, and solve the | wonderful riddle of the sphynx. Let them give the | advertising, as the Post-office department does, to | the two papers ef highest circulation, or if they wish | to give it tothree, at $2,000, let them do so. Then | the Herald, thé Sun, and the Tribune would be the | papers. The circulation of the Herald stands above them all; yet, strange to say, it is totally omitted in the report of the committee. It is pretended that it is hecause the Herald would not accept the terms of the committee. This is not the fact; and the | tender of the proprietor, addressed to them, has | been suppressed, in which he offered to insert the advertisements for $2,000, or on the same terms as the Sun. It is clear, therefore, that there is foul | play on the part of Haws & Co. Further, that | committee were directed, by resolution, to include the Herald—they have notdone so. Can they, dare | they, give a reason? If they did venture to do so, that reason would be found to be that the Herald watches too closely the proceedings of these gen- tlemen, to be a favorite with them. But it is a favorite with the public, whose patronage is worth more then the wealth of the Corporation. Let them experd €11,000 per annum upon their stomachs, be- side $4 per day per man, while they grudgingly give €6,000 for the information of the people. A day of reckoning is to come. ‘We had almost forgotten to notice one ridiculous sertion, in reference to the class of persons by whom the Sun is said to be read—* the small holders of real estate.” They must be very small indeed; for it is notorious that the principal readers of that journal are the niggers and the chamber- estate would scarcely touch it with the tongs. ‘The Italian Opera, and Fashion. The very fashionable and brilliant assemblage at the Astor Place Opera, last night, exhibited the very great interest that is taken in the lyric drama, as presented by the Havana company. We have seldom seen the houre #0 full of those persons in the metropolis distin- guished for their taste and refinement, and never be- fore have seen a larger number of distinguished and beantiful strangers on such an occasion. Almost every city in the Union seemed to be represented by some lovely delegate. The parquette was complotely occupied, the majority of those seated there being elegantly dressed ladies. The sofa seats were com- pletely filed, and every box was occupied, the private boxes being completely filled with large and distin- guished parties. The opera presented on this oecasion was “La Favorit.” The distribution of the eharaecters, how- ever, varied from that noticed at the Inst repreentation. In the place of Steffanoni, we had Te- basse, Marini. Altogether, have seldom known more enthusiasm than marked this performance. All the yocaliete were highly successful. Tedesco was very much applauded, particularly in the second act, where se surpassed herself, by @ steadiness of tone, aud decision of purpose not common to her style. Morini added largely to the effects of the music of bis part. His volee appeared to very great | harmony, particularly in the concerted music, ning, if it may not be { mony, was that offalvi.

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENOR, Wastixorox, June 9, 1850, Startling News from Cuba for a Sunday Morning. ‘The quiet of @ breezy Sabbath morulag has been ia- terrupted by the most startling news from Cuba. A measage has been received by the President, from Sa- vannab, where the steamship Georgia, from Havana to New York, put in, which mays that the American brig Raleigh, with a large list of passengers on board, for Chagres, en route to California, was captured by the Spanirh war steamer Pizarro, off the Island of Cuba taken into Havana, and all on board seat to prison— that Mr. Campbell, our faithtul, intelligent, and ener- grtic Copeul, protested against the act, in a letter to | Aleoy—that, not receiving an answer, be repaired eborily aiter in perron to the Captain General, and entered his remonstranees, which only so far exusper- ated Aleoy, as to end in the iunprisonment of the Ame- riean Coneul bimeeif. It we remember rightly, there is @ letter froma private gentleman at New Orleans, among the Caba correspondence before the Senate, in which he advises the President, that the Spaniards answer exactly to Napoleon's opinion of the Bourbons: “they learn’ no- thing, and they forget nothing,” They learn nothing from the hardest lessons of experienee, and they forget nothing of their pompous vanity, and that ancient Wereiles* persecution of their enemies, real or imagi- nary. They are just as stupid as the same race in Mexico, iu provoking a war with the United States. Upen & punetilio; and the result will very likely end in_@ similar lesson of common sense. The President has called his cabinet to meet in coune!] on thir Sabbath dey, at one o'clock. The hour bas arrived, and they are probably in session. In the meentime, we have been to church, (St. Patri Catholic.) aud there, opens the most devout of the congregation, prayer-book In band, was the amiable and pleasant looking Spanish Mivister, Don A. Calde- deron de la Barea. It is not impossible, but that to- morrow he may have permission to leave the United tates, Telegraphic despatches have been sent this day In various dircet! jrom the President's orders, by the Becretary of State, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Seoretary of War. Of their purport we are not advited, but they, doubtiess, relate to measures to be taken preparatory to the possible contingency of # sangu’ gp ye expect @ message from the President to Congress to morrow, en the subjeet, and we trust the cabinet will stand equare up to Mr. Clayton's instruetions to Mr. Campbell. The question now arises, how far ii mitted to the defence of Spain?
