New York, Sunday, June 16, 1850. clegraphie Summary, Ow? intelligence from New Orleans is of such a Character as to preclude the probability of any seri- ous difficulty urring between the United States ‘und Spain, growing out of the recent piratical inva- sion of Cuba. Notwithstanding the doughty procla- mations and pronunciamentos of the cabinet, which have been circulated through their organs here, it would appear, -sceording to the latest intelligence reeeived trom Cuba at New Orleans, that the Americans who were imprisoned by order of the Captain General, have been discharged. This news, if true, settles the difficulty at once, and deprives Mr. Clayton and his associates of the ehance of making capital out of the matter, as attempted to do in the Poussin affair. No business of any consequence was transacted in Congress yesterday. The Sénate agreed to ad journ from Thursday next to the following Monday‘ ‘The House was engaged in discussing the old story —the California bill—but nothing new was deve- loped. ‘The day was occupied in discussing an amendment to Mr. Green’s proposition, to run the Miceouri Compromise line to the Pacific, to the effect that, if the people of the new territories, in forming State constitutions, shall exclude slavery, it ehall be no impediment to their admission into the Union. The debate will be found in another column. We learn by our private telegraphic despatch, thatthe Hon. Henry Clay expects to bring the ‘Compromise bill to the question of engrossment by ‘Thnreday next. This is good news, although we might have expected it from the fact that the mo- tion to strike out the section relative to the boun- daries of Texas, which was no doubt made with ‘the view, if possible, of killing the whole bill, but which was rejected, on Friday last, by a decisive ‘vote of twenty-seven to twenty-foor. The erisis, ‘theretore, so far as the Senate is concerned, is close at hand—and may be reached even before Thurs- day. Now that Prescott Hall’s nomination as United States District Attorney for this district, has been confirmed, we suppose that Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Brady, the one the Collector, and the other the Postmaster of New York, will next have to go through the ordeal. The probability is that their eases will be acted upon before long. We are glad ‘to see the ordinary business of thenation thus going on in the Senate, as well as in the House of Repre- sentatives. It looks as if the settlement of the sla- very question, which has created so much bicker- -ing and ill- feeling between the Northern and South- ern sections of the confederacy, wae not far distant. War with Spain, and-ne Mistake. So, it seems that Mr. Clayton aad the present ecebinet are determined to have @ war, that is if we believe them, with some foreign power, and that Spain is the one selected. Several ‘of the orgons of the cabinet in this metro- polis, made the announcement yesterday, detailiag the positive information that the Secretary of State regards a ,’upture with Spain almest unavoidable, in con» quence of the disputed questions growing out of the 1 ecent invasion of Cuba, under the com- amind of Ls spez and his pirates, or-patriots, as the ease may br).

The Me» cans made the attack, and Gen. Taylor, the commander of the American troops on the border, was put on the de- fensiye, and the two countries were involved in war without any previous declaration sanctioned by Congress. It is doubtful if Spain will give the Galphin eabinet such a chance. In the event of a rupture between the Spanish au- thorities in Cuba, and the United States, growing out of our present difficulties, we can’t perceive, however, how war can grow out of it, without its first being authorized by Congress, and a debate and discussion had upon it in the old and regular way. Perhaps, however, Mr. Clayton and the Galphin cabinet intend te imitate the policy of Mr. Polk, in bringing on the Mexican war; and if we are to believe their organs, they have already made up their minds to bring about a collision between Spain and the United States, on their own respon- sibility, and without the previous sanction or con- currence of Congress, or without Spain, or the Spanish authorities in Cuba, giving any occasion for it. It may be done, too—but smart as the cabinet are, in their own estimation, we hardly think they will have an opportunity—but if such an event should be the result of the present complication of aflairs, all the technical questions arising under the treaty, or the laws of 1813, will be entirely set aside, and the whole impulse and soul ‘of the nation will be given to carrying on the war, with the same force es was that with Mexico. If the nations of Europe should be neutral—we mean France and England—and allow the United States and Spain to fight it out, there can be little doubt of the result of the contest. In less than six months, all the authority of Spain in Cuba, and Porto Rico, would be entirely annulled and set aside. Agreat deal of danger and demage, however, would ensue, in the mean time, to the commerce of this country, which is scattered over every sea and ocean in the world. In the opinion of the cabinet in Washing- ton, this might be compensated by keeping them in power. After all, however, this may be only ano- ther of the curious, sudden, and extraordinary movements which characterized Mr. Clayton du- ring the past year, and on a par with that-in con- nection with France. We were on the eve of a war with that country fora whole week, in con- sequence of the quarrel between him and M. Pous- sin, and this pronounciamento, through the cabinet organ, may be a repetition of the farce. Tue Soctauistic Humpves or THE Day.—The knockings of the Rechester family are, no doubt, very curious, but they are only ventriloquism in a new shape. They were first established as worthy of full credence, by the socialist journal of this city, and, having been fully encouraged, have rapped now to some purpose. The Rev. Dr. Griswold has taken them in hand, and goes in strong for spiritual- ism as the source of every knock, whether in one place or another. He revises several editions of these daily, and, probably, makes this speculation even more profitable than others, in which he has turned the brains of people to some account. He has made a geod living out of the writings of American writers, male and female, and stands a fair chance of making still more out of them, by getting some of them to sanction his spiritual im- positions. If a new form of ventriloquism, added to a little ingenuity, can do so much for the Rev. Dr. Griswold, we do not despair of his keeping his carriage one of these days. Ventriloquism is as good an ism as any other of the socialist category, and the longer the exhibitions are continued, the more dollars will.fow into the treasury, to pay the speculators. People have thrown their voices about, before now, to some purpose, and Mrs. Fish, aided by the Rev. Dr., has an admirable opportunity of spenking to the purpose ‘on all occa- sions. The science of acoustics is very interesting and little understood, and is as full of mystery as Paine’s enormous new principle in philosophy. By the way, the great shot-at, Mr. Paine, is at the Astor House, taking his ease, and seems by no means disposed to “‘ hang out his lights.’’ not like such delays. They are calculated to prove Mr. Paine to be e trifler. If he has any invention of practical value, such as we have been taught to beheve, he owes it to himself and the community to be quick with:his demonstrations. We are will- ing to do him full justice, one way or another, but, if he is disposed 40 make fools of the public, his own folly will come in for castigition. We have gathered from the socialist newspapers the story of his doings, and have reported the ramored pro- gress, but we shall not wait much longer for the illustrations of the vaunted new principle in philo- sophy. The Boston Transcript, and Elihu Burritt, and the correspondents.of the Tribune, may go on» as they have commenced, promising wonders, but the public will have the whole matter sifted. Our own belief is, thet the whole affair, so far its practicability ie conceraed, is a gross and foolish imposition, and the quicker it is exploded, and the gn let out of the bag, the better will it be. weather, for Mr. Paine’s movements—but a very little.

Neither the President nor the | Oveean Steam Navigation—Result of Compe- ttien—Wonderful Success Uf American Steamships. There never was a time when the public mind, of both England and the United States, was 80 much occupied and excited with the subject of ocean eteem navigation, as it is now and has been for two months past. This has beep caveed vy the organization of the new line of American steam- ships, which was originated, perfected, and sue- cessfully put in operation. by E. K. Collins, Eaq., of this city, and the first vessel of which, the Atlan- tic, has shown to the world what she is capa- ble of accomplishing, under unfavorable as well as favorable circumstances, against head winds and nead seas, as well as in calms. These vessels have net as yet had a chance of proving what they can accomplish with fair winds, under both canvass and steam, unless an opportunity to de 80, was vouchsafed to the Pacific on her outward trip. Of this we shall, in all probability, be informed by the next steamship from Liverpool. This new line en- tered the field, or rather the sea, of competition, with the steamships comprising the Cunard line— some additional ones of which have recently been constructed—for the express purpose, if possible, of outstripping the Cunard line. The two eouatries, therefore, with due preparation and forethought, have entered into a trial of skill in the navi- gation of the ocegn, and are contending for a valuable prize, viz: the passenger trade of the Atlantic, and the freight money of light and valuable merehandise, between Europe and America. The result is anxiously looked for by the people of both countries, and immense sums of money have been already won and lostin the United States and in England, in the form of bets, on the speed of the vessels of the respective lines. ‘We have from the commencement felt a deep interest in the subject of ocean steam navigation, and have kept ourselves informed from time to time of the precise state of affairs connected with it, With the view, therefore, of placing our readers in possession of the exact state of this trial of skill | and enterprise, we place before them the results up | to this time—that is, the Comparative speed of the steamship Atlantic, and the vessels of the Cunard line, in their passages to and from Liverpool.

On Thursday evening, at halt past 7 o’elock, the New York City Industrial Congress met at Grand street Hall, pursuant to the call of the Vigilance Committee, the use of a room on the third floor of the building having been’ given the delegates by the opera- tive bakers, who have it rented for themselves. The meeting was thin. Delegates from about thirty-five bodies are on the roll; but half of them did net attend. ‘The chair was occupied by Mr. K. Arthur Baily, the President of the Congrei pene oy bye : also capacity.

Mr. Francis Loutxe:—i am an Odd Fellow; and I have no hesitation in saying that you might fill this room five times over with delegates from the socities of Odd Fellows, which ure all benevolent societies. The juestion is, are delegates to be admitted from all the dd Fellow Lodges? + Mr. Crete, the Secretary, protested against this dis- cussion as irrelevant. They had, at the two former meetings, received the delegates without any question, or any motion to receive , On simply presenting their credentials, and he did not sve why the same course should not be now adopted. Dr. Jonassoun, a German lawyer, who also appeared as reporter from the Tribune, and from & German pa- 1 called der Schnelipost, and as a delegate from the nevolent association of blacksmiths, said in broken | English that this question bad been already decid by the fact of the reception of delegates on the tormer evening. ‘A lengthened discussion here took place relative to | the basis of the Congress, when it was agreed that dele- gates should be received from benevolent as well as from protective societies. ‘The question was ther ‘ken on the reception of the | delegate from the iron moulders, and was carried i: the affirmative. The credentials from the delegate of the Benevolent Society of Blacksmiths having been handed in, Mr. Guecoky again asked, whether this wasa benevolent ora protective society. Another discussion ensued, which oceupied considerable time. Dr. Jonassoun, representing the blacksmiths, pro- tested against any further discussion. The question had been already settled. A De.ecate—Only working men ought to come here as delegates. Mr. Lowr, one of the committee appointed to report upon the basis of representation in the Oongress, said the committee wished for instructions ftom the Con- as to the course they ought to pursue. He thought @ resolution ought to be passed against ad- mitti ng any delegate who was nota fe pe d then the painful necessity would be avoided of offend- ing the societies or the delegates seat by them who ‘Were not operatives. T! could then go to the doctor who sat in that Congress, and say to him, “there body sick here—we don’t want your services.” y could go to the politici#n (for politics had found its way into that room) and say to him, “Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire.” (Great sensation.) They could | go tothe lawyer, and say to him, “Go back; you area Siequalifiea 1aan.” The war is begun with monopoly, the lawyers, the politicians, and the doctors are the friends of the monopolists. I have no doubt that these observations have created considerable | buzsing in the roem. A friend of mine told me it I would make this proposition, I would have these gen- tlemen buzzing about my head like bees. But it the resolution I propose is acted on, they *will sting but on nd leave their sting behind them. and then the constituent elements of our Congress will be all right. (Great applause.) Mr. T.
