New York, thursday, Jus i Teleg: aphic Summai In the Senate, yesterday, some time was con- samed by the morning busiaess, before the Compro- mine pill was taken wp. Mr. Dayton, of New Jer- wey, resumed his speech when the bill came up.— He spoke strongly against paying Texas, and wound up with stating bis satisfaction and goneurrence in the proposition to abelish the slave trade. When he had finished, Mr. Clay appe net te enter into any debate, but to vote upon Mr. Renton’s motion ; and if it should be r ted, then to resume the consideration of the Compromise Bill. Some discussion took place between Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, Mr. Foote, and Mr. Dayton, in reference to Missiesippi law. Mr. Foote thought Mr. Dayton expected a reward tiom the Executive. Mr. Dayton said he did not know what the Senator alluded to, and “ did not care a button for reward.” Mr. Clay hoped Mr. Benton would permit a vote Mr. Benton made no rey some amendments, aml afi Senate adjourned.

Such is the state of parties among the people, | and they are properly and appropriately represent- | ed in both houses of Congrees, where we find a | perfect chaos. It is utterly impossible to ake the | ordinary calculations of other years upon the pas- | sage of any bill or measure in either house. What combinations will finally be effected to defeat or | carry the Compromise bill, or a bill to admit Cali- fornia by herself, no man, however shrewd in these matters, can more then guess what may be done. Matters are becoming more confused every day. ! Members of both houses ar. changing their ground every week. We hope that order will eventually grow out of chaos, and we trust that Congress will yet unite on some measure in reference to the four questions that are agitating that body and the whole people of the United States, which will re- store calm and confidence in place of dread and anarchy. The safety and perpetuity of the Union rest much upon this Congress. As for the edminis trative department of the government, it has be. come a by-word. People feel shame and mofti- | fieation when they thiuk or speak of it. They still love and respect honest General ‘Taylor, whom they so triumphantly elected, and their regret is only the more enhanced, when they reflect that it | is the President’s own fault, that he has kept 2 cor- | rapt, swindling, abolition, and weak cabinet about ‘him, whe have nearly destroyed his popularity, | and rendered the executive government an object i | i | ot contempt. In this hour of darkness, many ask | why will not General Taylor get rid of these cabi- | net mill-stones that are about his neck, and select | men for their places, who have honesty and capa- | bility, and whoean carry his administration through | its term proudly and triumphantly? We, as a | journalist, ore by no means in favor of any cha’ | in the esbinet. ‘The present eabinet is just the one | forus.

Ciavron 1x REGARD TO THE Cunan Parsoners.—One of the Washington administratien papers, of the Lith instant, contains two letters from Mr. Clayton to Mr. Campbell, our Conssi at Havana. We gave | the same letters some days ago. The adminie tration paper, in a short netice of the letters, says, very innocently, “They show the views of the rdministration in regard to the prisoners tuken by the Spanigh government.” We would like to be informed whieh of the letters ‘ show the views,” for one letter contradicts the other. In letter No. J,of May 31st, Mr. Clayton writes (in reference | | | \ | | \t « This stipulation expressly aeknowledges the right of Spain to take armed enemies out of United States vessels.” ‘lf, therefore, any persons, no citizens of the U ates, shall have been arrested tpen a c., they will have no right to your interposition in their behalf.” Mr. Claytoa writes farther, that there are cases where “humanity might warrant the exertion of your personal good offices to save the lives of indivi- duals; but etill it would not be advisable to inter- fere to thie extont, without a prospect of succes Now let us take shorn of ale, and wait a di The next day, Mr. Clayton is wide awake, and another letter to Mr. Campbell.

This is utterly untrue. The proprietor of the Herald did make a tender, directed to Alderman Haws, chair- man of the eommittee, to insert the advertisements ,oron the same terms as the Sun, and the letter was placed in the hands of Mr. Beek- man, Deputy Clerk of the Common Council, by D. Connery. To take away all excuse for the ignorance now pleaded, Mr. Bennett address- ed another letter yesterday to the Finance Com- mittee, reiterating that preposal. the hands of Alderman Britton, it remains to be seen whether this will be also de- nied at some future time, when the Finance Com- mittee may think proper to report. It is pretty evident that certain gentlemen of the Common Council do not want their proceedings advertised in the Herald, just because they know Were it not that the law compels them, they would not publish But as they must publish, they prefer to record their doings in some obscure print, of small in which there could be no chance of | the great body of the people seeing them, or im the | Sun, which circulates among the blacks—tleegpe- men of all work, et hoc genus omne—and al that | tcirculates among the tax-payers. class who pay no taxes, aud possess no infleence. | There is a passage in the Bible which runs, “ They ther than the light, because their | deeds are evil.” The Corporation gentlemen hate the light of publicity, and the tax-ps Economy cannot be their motive in re- sorting to such mean shifts to avoid advertising in the Herald, in which the official report of uncalled for letters lying at the Post Office is inserted, par- euant tothe law of Congress, which direets that | | the seme be published in the (wo journals of highest | i circulation.

Dinner to Sexator Dickinson.—The dinner to be given to Senator Dickinson, on the seventeenth of this month, at Tammany Hall, promises to be a very grand demonstration on the part of the demo- cratic community of the city and county. The friends of a fair compromise on the slavery ques- out, probably, in full foree, in favor of an adjust- ment and peaceable settlement of the pending diffi- are likely to have nothing butastew.

INTELLIGENCE FROM Sacua La Granpe.—The Captain of the brig Delta, reports that men and materiel were in constant drill, awaiting an attack frorn General Lopez and party. A Spanish steamer had towed a man-of-war schooner from Havana o Sagua la Grande, a few days previous to his jeaving that port.
