AMERICAN MUSEUM—Amumne Punronances Avren~ moon ano b The intelligence of the organization of a State government in New ).exico hus, it seems, by our telegraphic correspondence been confirmed, and has created quite a stir in Washington. Resolu- tions calling upon the President for information on the subject were offered yesterday in both houses of Congress. In the House there was an objection made, and in the Senate the subject lies over. We hope, however, that the matter will not be allowed to drop, for it is very evident that the cabinet have had something to do in this movement in New Mexico, and the country should know, and are entitled to know, all about it. In other respects the proceedings of Congress are not very interesting. Mr. Douglas replied in part to Mr. Soule’s argument on the Compromise bill, and Mr. Webster, who took full notes” of Mr. Soule’s speech, will, it is said, reply to that gen- Geman to-dey. The House wes occupied principally with the Towa contested election case, without, however, soming to any conclusion on the subject. The pro- ecedings will be found in another column. We are anxious to hear of the reception which the New York petition will meet with. If it do mot convince Congress that the people of this metropelis are desirous for a settlement of the agi- tating question of slavery in connection with the hew territories, nothing can do so. The ques- tion has assumed a more important shape since the reecipt of the news thet the New Mexicans are about to nize a State government, if they have not already done so. The Important Movement in New Metico— Fate of the Compromise In Washington, The intelligence which we received by the way of St. Louis, and published yesterday, under the Dead of telegraphic news, giving in bricf the de- Yeris of the steps taken towards the organization of a State government for New Mexico, made by the people of that territory, created a great sensation im this community. Those proceedings will no doubt be followed up by an application for admis- sion as an independent State, along side with Cali- foruia. It has nodoubt excited similar feelings in ‘Washington, and throughout the country, wherever it has reached. When we leok at the compromise in Congress, aud the various movements in every part of the republic, concocted in referenee to that measure, we are sometimes disposed to thiak that the whole controversy will end in nothing but mere Yelk, and that when all the parties and factions in Washington, and throughout the country, have exhausted their feelings and sensibilities, the whole matter will settle down into quiet, and things wily be allowed to tuke what shape they piease in the varions new territories, as new questions shail spring up to arrest the attention of Congress and | the nation at large. It is very evident that the secret influence of the eabinet operated very much in the movements ta California and New Mexico, in reference to the formation of new constitutions, and the organization of those territories in op- position to slavery. We are satisfied, also, from the revelations made in Congress rela- tive to the attempted disposition of the gold lands— ef which something was said by Mr. Soule, in his speech the other day in the Seaate—that the cabinet aad the land spec re ia those new territories, im copnection with the cabinet, have been the prin- cipal inetruments in bringing all those matters into the present position, under the belief that their spe- culations would be overlooked in their burly-burly about slavery, and that the new territories would be admitted as Stutes, in some shape or form. Large land speculations both in California and New Mexico, are no doubt hidden under those movements for eonventions and State constitutions. The cabinet poo: ~~ fet these movements agoing, no doubt, on their in- Srxsation 1n Cononess —Mr. Soulé is the only | duction into offee, aud their friends and partisallgouthern member in Congress who has made a believing that a controversy about slavery would be the best m f introducing those States into the Union, by which their land «peeulations would be eeneti have adopted the course which is onlled the pla of the adininistration, in regard | to the settlement of the slavery question. Mr. Rovlé’s epeech, continued for two daye—but which war very rably d by the telegraph—has been the #t broad and ne mration of the real purposes and motives which have heretofore actuated the cabinet, by laying down and pur suing such a policy. The whole of the movements introduction of New Mexico and nia, in endeavoring to create a great outcry © intended to cover mighty land nd to deprive the rest of this republic ghts ond preportion in the gold lands of thia end New Mexico it will be seen from this, therefore, that if Texas bonds operate in favor of the Compromise, and against the adimesion of California and New Mexi- @0, more Valuable consideration, in the shape of gold lands in both of those territories, with doubt- ful titles, and appropriated by convention and con- no mekere, will have an equal influence on and on their supporters, in their policy ia Opposition to the Compromise. It is a contest be- tween Texas boads and California and New Mexi- #0 Jend Utes, iu which the cabinet speculators will have all the advantages, and the res: of the repub- ke will be the priucipal losers. Mammon and free- soi! go hand in hand, for all they can get With this new view of the slavery agitation in Congress, [respecting the new territories, as deve- oped by recent movements, as wellin Washington as elewhere, itis highly’ probable that California and New under «ach a pressure and uoder seeb influences, may be both admitted as States by the present Congress ~ if they should not, that the for the separa Cait about lavery, whole matter in mere talk, and go- thing Me; oad + speculators will renew Contes ow ession and oa another 2 Th ca h them, and all the as bid under the — poiiti- wt and antislavery controversies, eventually eucered.

It is the | | creation of 4 new “ism” in national affairs, and that | is Mammoniem, or Galphinism, organised and | made into # political party. Liverary Sqvavnne—Prorecvion oF TUE Quren or Exctann.—Mr. Heary W. Herbert, author of “ Cromwell,” ** The Brothers,” ‘ Mar- maduke Wyvil,” and a book on all kinds of fish- ing, seems to find the #tmosphere of republican America too severe for his loyal nerves, He hus been in this country at least tifteen years, and in hot water—almost up to the boiling point, without apy whiskey—we do not know how long, or how often. He has recently left the Cedars” of New Jersey, famous for mutton—coals and candles gratis—and visited Philadelphia, where, as our columns fully intimate and explain, he became the voluntary champion of Victoria the First, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. As he has given the world the history of his exploits during the memor- able days of his championship, we give it te the publéc with all its beeutiful grammar, rhetoric and literary beauties, and such ruaning contents, at the head of each letter, as will explain and elucidate the whole affair. We make no charge for the im- provement. At the same time, we agree that the story is known “so widely”—and the “error or | misstatement by myself or my friends” haviag | “assumed a proper character,” when, as the novel. | ist says, “Il was in my own room alone, in the presence only of Mr. Brightly, and Mr. Hirst pro- posed to introduce me to Judge Barton,” and the novelist replied, “* If I were (introduced) I should be compelled to decline the introduction”—that so clear, grammatical, discreet, sober and lucid an exposition, ought to receive all possible weight, particultrly as ‘ my Queen” was the origin of the wonderful quarrel. Surely, the publie will wonder that a man of such incomparable talents as Mr. Herbert possesses—with such a command of language and of courage— with such a nice sense of grammar, rhetoric and honor—with such a marvellous knowledge ef eti- quette and loyelty, united under one waistcoat, should have been permitted by the Queen of Eng- land, with whom Mr. Herbert “ has the honor of being acquainted,” to pime away in the midst of stale copy-rights, unappreciated, unrecognized and unrewarded—the patient exile in a repablicaa land, under the stars and stripes of a chequered existence, at the mercy of every democrat, end constantly embroiled with the Yankees of this land of equality and nutmegs. It is not the way to reward literary labor or loyalty, and we do hope that her Majesty's government—usually very attentive to the wante and necessities of the writers of Eng- Jand,—will give Mr. Herberta mission that will keep him at peace with the world “ and the rest of man- kind.” We would recommend him as quite equal to cope with the present Cabinet at Washington— Sir Henry Bulwer’s talents are wasted on them. Nothing half so accomplished is necessary. Mr. Herbert would be quite equal to the task. He could beat Mr. Clayton at a correspendence, as the speci- mens before us fully make apparent. Cannot an appeintment be secured for this uneasy novelist? tis a pity that he should retire to the solitude of the “ Cedars,” only visited occasionally by some policemen who desire to inspect the bowie knives and pistols ready for use against the “ Rynders men.” Mutton, coals, and candles, ought to be sent, all the year round, to Mr. Herbert, as a testi- monial of the honor which the people of New Jer- sey have of his distinguished merits as an author, as a scholar, as a correspondent, asa loyal Lagtish- man, and @ perpetrator of his own peculiar fortunes. They can do nothing less for one who has settled among the “Cedars,” 4s a cawing crow that keeps his eye on the neighboring corn-fields. Wee Inciee—ConeLict oF Races.—The last intelligence which we received from Guadaloupe contirms us in the opinion which we previously expressed, that a conflict of races has commenced there, similar to that which has been going on in San Domingo for years past. A similar contliet will no doubt soo break out in Ja- | meica, and eventually in the Island of Cuba. Ia | tuet, there is every probability, aecording to all our information, that before many years, a terrible, a devastating conflict will take place between the African and Anglo-Saxon races in the whole of the West Indies. The policy of abolition by the British and French governments, in those regions, aided and assisted by the poticy of an abolition party in the free States of this republic, headed by Garrison and others, is gradually bringing about that state of things betwren the two races, and We may be pre- pared to some terrible outbreak in those islands at no distant day. In connection with this matter, | itis time to view the condition of Cuba and the Southern Sta: and for the white inhabitants of this continent and the adjacent islands to put a stop, | by some means, to the further progress of those ter- rible and horrible ideas introduced by the socialists from Europe to America. no great speech “since Mr. Cathoun’s decease. He seems to hawefine qualities for a very distinguished | pesitien; but whether he can fill Mr. Cathoua’s | boots, cover himself with the great Carolinian’s | coat, or jump into his breeches, time alone can show. He has made, certainly, a fiae commence- | ment. His speech is well charged with French sarcasm, with good philosophy, and displays a great deal of practical taleat. One very important | point was made in it—rhat in which he reveals all | | the mystery appertaming to the organtzatioa of the | New territories into States, by the speculators in the vast gold-hearing regions, and in the lands of the United States—speculations set on foot by the Galphins of the cabinet, and which have been the sole origin of the speed exhivited in forming aew governments in the Southwestern territories. A Rien Have.—It is estimated by a Senator at Washingt that one million seven hundred thousand acres of the most fruitful gold lands of California have been appropriated by the political speculators, who have, all at a jump, become aboli- tionists, They made anti-slavery a hobby apon which to ride into faver, and to establish a govern- ment at their pleasure, just suited to establish their | very questionable claims to such large tracts of | lend, obtained by hook or by crock—any wuy, or anv how. The cabinet have been nicely mixed op in the whole business, and have been emiaently patriotic towards themselves, in getting a govern- ment to gratey their peculiar ambition and pur- poses ‘The Galphios of the cabinet, in this way, will make a greater haul than they have as yet eflected by direct suction. | Twe Recatiews of Sram wirn tie Sorta Aus- rican Stare ov Equapor.—The animosity awake ened in several South American States, by rumors of a projected expedition of General Flores, aided by Sypaim, against the republic of Equador, was on the pout of producing Very prejudicial results of a permanent nature, affecting the commerce and re- lutions of Spain with the South American States, The cabinet of Madrid, therefore, being justly alarmed on this subject, despatched M.

The peculiarities connected with this case of | Mr. Forrest’s are spreading far and wide, by the comments of the public press. Singularly enough, the questions at issue involve the merits and de- | merits, not of pugilism alone, but of socialism, ap- | plied in a fashionable way, in a friend's house, by litterateurs, professors, lawyers, editors, and other artists and rascals. Some curious articles have appeared in certain newspapers. One by Thurlow Weed, that remarkable and eccentric moralist, against Mr. Forrest; and another, by Mr. Forney, of Philade}phia, in favor of the tragedian, give reoin for much diseussion. We shall present a full and | accurate view of this strange controversy on another occasion, with curious specimens of the new | philosophy. Meanwhile, people must think, pon- der, and take a nap occasionally. 5 New Exectora Law or FRrance.—A great | amount of false declamation, not in any manner | warranted by facts, has been expended upon the | passage of the new electoral law, in the National | Assembly, at Paris. According to the most reliable data, out of nine millions of voters only two mil- lions will be deprived of the elective franchise, and | these are the floating, shifting, wavering popula- j tion, intent upon nothing useful or wholesome, for | themselves or society. The new law, therefore, | will be conservative of true republicaoisi, if it is not made the stepping stone, by the ambitious fac- | tion in the Assembly, for advancing and preparing | the way towards reinstating the old dynastie fa- | milies of France. Germany has given no very | fevorable example of what can be done by cutting | an empire into slices; and France will scarcely be | inclined to imitate it, by finding a palace for the Bourbon, for Orleans, and for Napoleon. Such an | unbely trinity cannot prosper. Tue Pane Ligut—Reronr or Tak Commrrree | oy INvesTIGATION.—A short time ago, as our read- ers are no doubt aware, several gentlemen formed themeelves into a committee for the purpose of proceeding to Worcester, Mass., and investigating | the Paine light, with the promise that they would make a report upon it when they concluded their labors. The committee was composed of one or two professors of chemistry, some practical che- mists, and two gentlemen aitached to gas manu- factories here and elsewhere. We are informed that these gentlemen instituted a thorough inves | tigation into this hght, and will make their report on the subject to-day, From what we have heard of its character, it will astonish some persons in this community, and put the question at rest for- ever, as to whether the Paine light is or is not | what is claimed for it. | GexenaL Parz anp our Venezveta Cornes- | ronpknce.—Our readers will find in another co- Juma, a letter from one of our Venezuelan corres- pondents, in which he details the particulars of a reported conspiracy, on the part ot General Mona- gas, to assassinate the celebrated General Paez by suffocation. The account is so startling and hor- rible that we can hardly credit it, and hope, at all | events, that it is only much exaggerated. We pub- | lish it, however, for what it is worth. We are gare that it is pot possible that the President of enezuela would resort to sucn nortibie extremi- | ties towards his great antagonist, who, whatever | may be his merits or demerits, has claims on the grutitude of Venezuela. We shall, however, kaov more of the matter by and by. Ia the meantime, we expect to hear of the arrival of Gea. Paez ia this country, where he has determined to spend his exile, Tur Germans wuo Perisuep in rue The German Staats Zeitung, of this city, states that the number of Germans who perished in this fatal disaster was one hundred and fifty. They were most of them from the Grand Duchy of Baden. The Germans in Cleveland formed ajcommitice to provide for the proper and decent interment of their corpses. The committee went to the spot where the bodies were lying, ana determined to purchase it, to have them buried there, and to have the spot enclosed, and a monument erected over them. [t now ascertained that there were on board the iflith, when ehe took fire, 256 deck pisseagers, 45 cabin passengers, aud 25 of crew; making @ total of 326, of whom only 35 were reseued. Duty Srreers —We would advise the people who go to church next Suandsy, to return thanks te th epirite of the atmosphere for the copious and powerful rain of last Sanday, which cleaned the streets in a highly efficient manner. These spirits of the atmosphere are raining ones, not knocking epirite, and are really very kind and considerate.
