Telegraphic Summary By reference to eur speeial wlegraphic despatch fron Washington, published in another column, it will be seen that a batch cf appointments made by the present administra were acted upon and confisined: yesterday by the Senate, embracing Ministers, Charges, Secretaries of Legation, and Marshais. tor of this Port, and the only »ppointment in this region that has not been contirmed, still holds over, end no one can tell what the result will be. We are inclined to believe from the delay, that @ he escapes decapitation, it will be “by the skin of his teeth.” The continued delay looks very eminous and equally. Would it not be charitable m the Senate to confirm or reject him at once, and save him from all furthersuspense. It is tod’bad to keep thet gentleman in torture during such warm Weatheras we now have. We hope the Senate will take his case into consideration immediately, and dispose of it one way or the other, so asto save bim all further pain and anxiety. In the Senate, the substitute of Mr. Soule for that portion of the Omnibus bill relative to California, was the topic of interest in yesterday’s proceedings: Mr. Soule’s plan forthe admission of that new State, was the principal subject of debate. He proposes that the President issue a proclamation admitting California, provided that she assent in convention to certuin conditions, which will be found in our Teport of the proceedings under the telegraphic head in this day’s peper. He also proposes to divide California by eatending the Missouri Coimpromise Nive from the Sierra Nevada to the Pacific, the southern portion to be called South California, to be admitted into the Union when ready, with or Without slavery, as the inhabifants may decide. We have no doubt this substitute will oocupy the attention of the Senate for some days, if not weeks. ‘We have not space enough at our disposal to com- ment on the mutter to-day. The House of Representatives spent the day in diseussing various amendments that were offered to the bill granting bounty lands to the soldiers of the war of 1812, #8 well as previous wars, which took up a good deal of time. ‘The subject of providing additional security to Partengers travelling in steamboats on the wa- ters of the United States, also occupied the atten- ‘tion of that body. The committee on Commerce are instructed to bring in a bill for that purpose. The Recent Intelligence from California, Sen Frencieeo hes been visited by another serious eonfl.gration, in which property to the amount of five or tix millions of dollars has been destroyed. Some estimates place the loss at a still higher figure; and, if based on the cost to the owners, it may be, very properly, so considered. Yet elestiticity, and not depression, supervenes upon the society of the city of the Pacific.

The want of mercantile sagacity, the want of study on the part of speculators, the recklessness of & judicious traffic might have terminated benefi- | cially for a few. However, it is a very weak and unimportant fact | that does not carry its moral with it; and if the diecoveries in California do not virtually turn the | heads of our merchants, we may congratulate our- | selves with the lesser evil, that it will turn some of their pockets inside out. Every steamer brings heavy consignments of gold, and many prosperous and many disappointed adventurers return in them, the former to distribute of their plenty, aad the latter of their etores of experience. Both are use- ful. The philosophy of labor can be learned equally by success and by failure—and they wil) | be wise, who while the cities of the Pacific are‘ | growing into the stature of a full growth, do not | become infatuated om the one hand, or discouraged on the other. Having glanced at the commercial state of Cali- fornia, a few words may not be out of place with Tespect to its political condition. ‘The action, or rather inaction, of Congress does not seem to give the people much anxiety. They seem t> under- stand very clearly where they are, and what they are about. Having only one pureuit—that of the acquirition of wealth—politics must be their pastiine only. It can be nothing more. They are too well acquainted with the relations of their territory to the Federal government, to press their claims upon it unreasonably. The first movement of the cabinet, taken together with their subsequent “mas- terly inactivity,” aided by the other epeculators in Mexican land titles, had early been seen through. The Californians have no disposition, evidently, to assist the cabinet or its abettora, because they are corteetly posted up with respect to the claimants of large tracts of land, and know precisely upon what they ground their claims, and to what an extent the cabinet are interested in the premises. No great stretch of wisdom was necessary at first—no deep scrutiny is requisite now—to perceive that some- thing more than the “ President's policy” urged the letter-writers of the cabinet to visit, with vio- lent vituperation, the efforte of Mr. Clay, and simul- tanec usly, from Maine to Florida, to attack, with unexampled ferocity, the people’a cabinet of Thir- teen, whose wisdem never ought to be placed in opposition to the speculating virtue of the adminis- trative council. In this state of feeling in Califor- nia we rejoice. We were afraid thet the power of the cabinet, and of those who have become inter- ested, also, in surreptitious titles to land, would be exerted upon the people of California, to threaten the Union with an independent government. All this apprehension is at an end. The Californiags have ecen through the trick, and Culifornia is safe. Tu Cuna Invapers in Troupux at New On- LEans.—According to a telegraphic despatch from New Orleans, which we published in yesterday's paper, the grand jury of New Orleans have found bills of indictment, not only against General Lopez, but aleo against some very important personages in that region, and amongst them General Quitman, Governor of Mississippi, Judge Pinkney Smith, of the same State; ex-Governor Ilenderson, and seve- ral others. If this information is correct, the pro- ceedings of the grand jury cannot be looked’ upon nany but an enomalouslight. We cannot believe t, and will not, until we see it confirmed by the maile, because the tendency of public feeling in | New Orleans was directly the reverse. If, how- ever, it should turn out to be true, it will only show how extremely desirous the American people are to vindicate the laws, no matier how unpopular they may be, or however somuch they may disap prove of th No matter what the result of the triele of these indictments may be, they will, if sach proceedings have actually taken place, make the law of 1818, on which they were founded, very unpopular, and will, no doubt, iuduce the people to agitate its repeal. If such proceedings have taken place in leans towards the men who took part in the of Cuba, what is to be done to those perrons in New York who were equally ac- | | tive in that matter? There are parties here who acted as openly and as broadly as any | in New Or:leans in that piractical invasion, and | who were coguizant of the whole affair—who huag out banners from buildings, and did all ia their power to create a sympathy in favor of the move- | ment. They have done everything to briag them | | within the law of 1818, and within the control of the grand jury of this district. What is Prescott Hall about, that he does not institute proceedings invasion Six Henzy Buuwan’s Return v0 Wannne- dence for the rummer season, and it is not impro- bable, after returning to Washington, that he will come back to the metropolis, in company with his neighborhood, during the summer. Apropos. We now are reminded of those Mr. Clayton, with respect to the Nicaragua treaty. The cabinet journals and letter writera have de- clured that our statements with respect to the con- duct of Mr. Clayton in this matter, were incorrect. plumes cennot cover up this history, simple as it is. The whole affair is in a very small compass. The company interested in the Nicaragua canal, while at Washington—whither they went {rom this city, where they now are—prepared the principal pro- visions of the treaty—all the essentials. Mc. Clay- ton did not know anything about the subject, and the British Minister knew but little, though both were able to understand it pretty well when they eaw it. It is well known, that when Mr. Hise originally returned from his mission, that that treaty which he espoused, was the par- ticular pet of Mr. Clayton. He fondled it, and wes ready to father it, until a little re- flection and a few circumstances weaned his a fections from it. This feeling existed, however, in spite of the exclusive nature of Mr. Hise’s treaty, which was mixed up with Musquito Indians and such nonsense. The treaty, however, between the British Minister and Mr. Clayton is another kind of affuir—more liberal, and gives other enlightened nations a chance with Great Britain and the United | States. As a treaty, it merits ull’praise for its ex- | cellence in meeting the requirements of its exist- ence, but neither of those who are credited by the world with its production had anything to do with | the construetion of it. Those interested in the Ni. caragua canal conceived, formed and presented the treaty to the distinguished negotiators, who re- ceived, acknowledged and sanctioned it, on the part of their respective governments. The British Minister wes the first to perceive the merits of the treaty, and the character of its various provisions— Mr. Clayton obtained an insight only into its plain- eat instructions. He will have to study it much judgment, to enlighten him. In the mean time, let us remember the assistance that both govern- ments have received from those interested in the canal company, and do them justice, if the hea. vene fall.

We have further intelligence thrdugh our correspondents, that Mr. Davis, the State Attorney, will hardly live, and that Bristol Bill has avowed his determination to commit suicide, in some way or form, rather than be con- fined in the State prison for ten years, in his prime of life, away from his handsome wife, Margaret O'Connor. It is probable that an account of more bloody doings may be expected from that quarter, and we should not be at all surprised to hear that the criminal hed attempted to take his own’ life, by dashing his brains out against any pillar, post, or other hard substance, within his reach, and that Margaret O’Connor followed his example. The extraordinary perpetration of such a deed has created a great deal of inquiry as to the history, peculiarities, and character, and personal appear- ance, of Bristol Bill. Who is he? What is his | history? Who were. his associates? In what school did he take his degrees in villany? We have the best reasons for believing that Bristol | Bill is a graduate of the stool pigeon college of | New York. We may receive to-day or to-morrow, as we are informed, a full account from the same querter in Vermont, of the birth, life, history, deeds, doings, rascality, and former associates of Bristol Bill and Meadows ; and as soon as it comes to | hand we will give it to our readers. We have some reason forbelieving that this account of this | extraordinary felon’s life, will throw a singular | light over recent proceedings in this neighbor- hood, heretofore well knowa asthe Drury myste- ries—the attempt to take the life of Thomas Warner and his wife by a torpedo, and the various | matters which have grown out of those proceed- ings, both in this city and in Brooklyn, during the few months past. Thomas Warner, George Wilkes, One-Eyed Thompson, Marcus Tullius Cicero Stanley, and several other persons, will all be more or less connected with this curious history, and will have assigned to them, with dramatic ac- curacy, the different parts which they have taken, and the several positions which they have occu- pied, during’the progregs of the recent extraordi- | mary events to which we refer. Before Bristol | Bill, the bloody actor in the Vermont tragedy, get | into the hands of the public authorities in the East, he was associated for some time with One- Eyed Thompéon in this neighborhood, engaged in the seme practices and conspiracies with him, and also was an agent, to a very considerable extent, in certain operations projected, set on foot, and attempted to be cerried out, by George | Wilkes, in reference to the torpedo and other | Mysteries in this metropolis. In fact, Bristol Bill, | according to the best authority, seems to have been en agent, or pupil, of the great New York Stool- | Pigeon School or College, in many of their most important doings. We have no wish or desire to do any injustice | or injury to any one of the individuals named ; but | this extraordinary drama has so much startled the | public mind, that it is right and'proper, for the ends of public justice that the several parties, and the positions which they have occupied, should be | rightly understood and properly appreciated by the | public generally of this city. The firet attempt at | bloed, in these mysteries, was in the tor’ do ex- | plorion. It was not euccessful. The second, as | we have eeen in Vermont, is more horrible, more | terrible; and we are afraid that worse even will | follow, either here or eleewhere. Murder, forge- | ry, perjury—all the crimes of the calendar—seem, | under stool-pigeon auspices, to have accumulated | recently, and to have been set agoing and set on | foot with singular premeditation and design, and with as much coolness and philosophy as you | would set in operation an ordinary mill for the ma- | nufacture of flour, cotton, cloth, or any other vendible commodity.

Seaten Veroicrs—Waat Say tue Copirrens —There is something wrong in the law with regard to jurors, for which even the coditiers do not seem to have offered a remedy. We frequently see that courts are necessitated, from the lateness of the hour at which trials terminate, to order “ sealed verdicts.” Two instances have occurred daring | the laet and the present month, in which juries, to escape the inconvenience of being locked up aly night, have apparently agreed to and signed the verdict; “but in the morn, when calm reflection came,” and they were asked by the clerk of the court, with that solemnity which reminds them that their response is upon oath, “ had they agreed | to their verdiet 1” there appeared, ia those two insteness, one dissentient in eagh jary.

They hope neither rival, nor to be rivalied, by the new House of Ind tgy. There is room, and to spare, in our metropolis more charity than either can dispense; there hearts which can deeply feel for the naked and starving, yet turn not away from those whose di garb covers an aching and an anxious breast. trust that both societies may prosper, both wi: Des ing of thore who “are ready to perish.” Mxe.
