Scovirix at one time attached te the Hexatn as an occasional cor- reepondent at Washington, and the South, is no longer connected with this ertablishment in any capacity. Sega oon News from KE The steamship Pacific, Captain Nye, will be due at this port to-morrow, with four days later news from Europe. ai ny Telegraphic Summary. In consequence of the storm last evening, our telegraphic despatehes from Washington are more than usually meagre and imperfect. Mr. Soule’s substitute for the Compromise bill, as reported by the committee of thirteen, was lost yesterday in the Senate by a decided vote of thirty- six to nineteen. As soon as this was decided, Mr. Clay expressed a hope that a vote on the engross- ment of the Omnibus bill would be taken on Wed- needay next. He trusted that such will be the case. We are getting tired of this eternal ques tion. We are satisfied the public are, too. The lowa contested election case occupied the attention of the House, to the exc usion of almos, every thing else. It has, however, heen settled, and to-day we expect that body will go to work with the regular business. The ordering of troops from different places in ‘the United States to New Mexico, looks as if the eabinet were anxious to create a row in that new territory. We de not believe there is any neces- sity forsuch a movement. If it is made for the purpose of intimidating the people of Texas, it i: very reprehensible, for there is no necessity for it atall. The Texans wil! ehow their good sense by Yooking upon it weak endeavor of the cabinet to sustain themselves in office. There must be no fraternal blood shed in any dispute growing out of the territorial question, and wo to any cabinet or any administration that will cause it. Both houses of Congress may wrangle, and fight, and quarrel, as much as they please, but the respectable and Jaw and order-loving people of the United States must not shed each other’s blood. That will never do; and we venture to say that ifa life be Jost in any proceedings growing out of the present agitation, the matter will never be settled, and the Union itself will be endangered. The Irish steamship Viceroy, it appara, mot with a disaster on her retura. The particulars will be found under the telegraphic head. ‘The British ht tof Beare! in American Vessels—Conduct of the Vixen, The American schooner Enterprise, Captain Boyd, from Chagres, bound for the port of New York, on the eleventh of June, in latitude 21 23, Jongitude 84 5, fell in with her Britannic Majesty's steamship Vixen, from Jamaica, for Cuba, which fired a gun for the American schooner to heave to, and sent her boat on board. This is the first step— the preliminary process—in the right to search ves | sele at cea. This is a very simple piece of intelligence; but it may and should lead to some fmportant results. The American government has always maintained that it will protect the citizens of the United States @guinét all improper and vexatious interruptions on the ocean. In October, 184, Lord Palmerston undertook a correspondence with our Minister, Mr. Steveneon, then at the Court of St, James, on this very subject; and the President of the United States at that time—Mr. Tyler—made that corres- pondence an important topic in his annual message. This was ehiefly with regard to visitations and searches on the African coast. The “ Douglas,” a United States vesrel, had been searched and de- tained, on the const of Africa, by her Majesty's brig Termigent, on the twenty-firet of October and subsequently, other vessele—the “lago, ro,” and “ Mary.” On the retirement of Palmers- ton from office, ae Secretary of State for Foreign Affaire, Lord Aberdeen carmed on the correspon- dence, and the subject became ove of great inte- rest on both sides of the water. The government of this counuy, however, never yielded to the pre- sumptuous doctrines promulgated by Palmerston, and the baseless arguments of the Britieh Secre- tary were thoroughly battered ‘down by Mr. Ste- venron. Lord Palmerston, however, it appears, desires to renew this controversy, now that he is in power | ance more, and accordingly leaves Africa for the waters of the Gull, where he sends his Vixens and Termigants to cammenee their hostile work with sti greater boldness. Under the cireum- Cvniosrrizs anp Uncertaiwnies or THe Law vnpeR tHe New Copg.—When David Graham, the learned jurist, and others, undertook to give to this State a new code of laws, which was to res aside all uncertainty in legal opinions and de- cisions, we imagined that we had made one of the mort valuable discoveries im legal gas-lighting which the world ever saw; almost equal to that which Philosopher Paine is about to exhibit at the Astor House, one of these evenings, to the aston- ishment of all the gas companies of New York, and the wonder of the “rest of mankind.” Before the promulgation of that wonderful code, the law of libel, as applied to newspapers, Was uncertain in some points; but since the new code went into operation, and judges have been elected by a mix- ture of respectable and rowdy votes at the polls, we believe that the laws of all kinds have been more uncertain, more contradictory, and more impossible to get at than ever they were at any previous time. Let us illustrate. A few weeks ago Judge Camp- bell, one of the most learned men on the bench, de- | cided that Mr. Watson Webb, proprietor of the | Courier and Enquirer, and United States Minister at Austria, had committed a libel, for a simple pub- lication of a correct report of certain transactions and examinations in the police offices. A few days after this decision, the same enlightened judge and jurist gave his opinion, that a statement, published in a Sunday paper, by ‘ne late Mr. Burns, without being a police report—a simple statement, imputing fraud or dishonesty to Mr. Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald, on certain old transactions grow- ing out of a note which was paid by him, without any consideration having ever been received by Mr. Bennett—the same judge declared, that such a di- rect publication, although untrue, was no libel at all, but just and proper. Several ilar decisions have also been made, rather contradictory in their nature, by another distinguished member of the bench—we mean Judge Oakley ; but these we will examine with more accuracy and precision here- after. This, however, is only one branch of our juris- prudence, which has become more complicated, and more uncertain, since the publication of the wonderful code of law for the State of New York. Another branch—that in reference to the rules and laws of evidence—appears to be equally evanes- cent, equally contradictory, and “very like a whale.” Let us illustrate. It is generally well known, that the indictment and trial of old Drury, of Ae toria, on the charge of sending, or carrying, the torpedo to Warner’s house, were founded on cer- tain alledged admissions, extracted from old Drury, as you would extract teeth, by two famous stool- pigeon tooth-pullers, One-Eyed Thompson and Bristol Bill, and in the hearing of certain police officers, shut up in a closet, under the superinten- dence of George Wilkes, thus exhibiting one of the moct original plans of gétting evidence that ever was concocted in this community. By the advice of John Graham, anether step was taken. The Governor of New York, on the application of Warmer and Wilkes, authorized David Graham, one of the codifiers, to act as Assistant Attorney, probably because Warner and Wilkes, 80 deeply interested in the torpedo business, had not suffi- cient confidence in the Jaw intelligence or energy of Mr. McKeon. Mr. Graham accordingly acted under the name of assistant, but really in the capacity of chief, and centended throughout all these trials, that the stool-pigeon, tooth-pulling evidence against Drury, furnished on that eccasion, was sufficient to indict and convict him. But the jury happened to think otherwise, and disagzeed. Judge Osborne, on the other side, made exactly a contrary legal decision, although the admissions of One-Eyed Thompson implicating him in the crime, and not Drury, and testified to by several witnerses, were not hable to the imputation of being stool-pigeon, tooth-pulling extractions. Here we have a different issue in the legal character of evidence, in ihe svtcum vpisione of Justice Osborne and David Graham, one of the prime codifiers of New York. Such uncertainty, such contradictions, such differences in epinions among judges, lawyers, and codifiera, are nearly as perplexing to the public at large as the Rochester knockings, or the wonderful gas philosophy of Paine; and it is high time that some plaa be adopted on which the law and the Jaw administra- tors could be reformed, and made positive, so that every one might know how to ac id conduc, himself accordingly. The Rechester female knockers, before a committee of ladies, have been stripped to the naked truth. Philospher Paine i preparing to be stripped to the same point—and it will be time, one of these days, that the Code should be put into a cold shower bath, to give it some character and certainty. Tur Row Anovr Tue Queen oF Ex@taxn.— The pamphlet published by Mr. Herbert, in re- ference to his quarrel with Judge Barton and Mr. Hirst, of Philadelphia, about her Majesty the Queen of England, Victoria the First, by the grace of God, Defender of the Faith, and so forth, has created quite a sensation in the eommunity. Mr. Hiret, it appears, is determined not to let Mr. Her- bert have his own way in the matter, and accord- ingly announces his determination to give his ver- sion of that celebrated quarrel. ‘This is all right and prope! ind we hope that Judge Barton will likewise enlighten the public about that celebrated row. We want something to enliven us this warm weather, as there isno chance of anything like a decent fight in Congrese—at least for a week. By the way, said that a certain Mr. Herbert attempted a few years since to play the bully ona Swiss gentleman, named Theophilus Valentine, who challenged that Mr. Herbert. The challenge was accepted, and the parties fought in Canada. On the first shot that Mr. Herbert was near losing one of his ears, aad, rather than risk a second, made a suitable apology. Has that affair anything de with the matter now before the public, or with one of the parties who figures in it? stances, therefore, we expect that Mr. Clayton will wake up, and open a correspondence with | Sir Henry Bulwer. If he is afraid to do it, | and the “week government as the Britieh | Minister has called it—only dare to threatee Spain, Pertugal, and such decayed and decaying powers, we “and the rest of mankind” will call apon Sit Henry Bulwer to explain. This whippi of Portugal is a small business, like Forrest's whipping Wills—a strong,power against a weak one. We should like to have a chance with rough and tovgh John Bull. Johnny, since the Cuban | affair, is perfectly savage in temper; and with our | imperturbable coolness, we could come into a fight | with something like a fair chance. For great | powers to be engeged on Greeee and other puny States, is monstrous cowardice, of the gutta percha calibre—limber and loathsome. What we want is adownright Bendigo and Puddock fight for the championship—for the belt. If Mr. Clayton ¢ fot arrange the presiminaries we must aesist him, and, for the next few days, we shall heat our long poker, and stir him up & a correspondence. As #000 a6 he writes his letter, we will give it to the British Minister, thre ugh the columns of the Herald —and the letter from Sit Leary to the commander | of the Vixen, may aa well ge through the same medium. He is rathertoo “ go-ahead,” as well as Mr. Chatfield.

Ata late hour lastnight, we received the follow- ing very important intelligence from Coney Island, and we hasten to place it before our readers and the public in general: — Conny Tsi p, March 28, 1850. Thie has been @ great day for Coney Island, The inhabitants of this territory bave, at last, awakened to a sense of their rights, and are determined to be no longer a suburb, a rtopping-placesfor New Yorkers, but to assume the position to which they are entitled, as one of the States of this migbty confederacy, and the most important ot the whole batch. They ‘have Jost all patience in awaiting the action of Congress in Tegard to California, and are determined to demand admission into the Union at once. If the demand be net complied with immediately and unconditionally, without respect to the Wilmot proviso, they will set up 4 separate republic, organize fleets and armies, and set the United States at defiance. They are deter- mined to defend the boundaries of their state aceord- ing to their notions, and don’t care fig whether Con- grees may think they have too extensive @ line of sea coast or not, ‘Their dander is up. and they are “on dreadful intents intent,” if their wishes are not com- Piicd with, Ae i i. the whole island is tm motion, lags are flying, drums beating, and our noble people are marching and countermarching, ready and anxious to mect all who may oppose them, especially the people of the States of Long Island and New York.

Gil Davis and have been duly elected to represent the n the Senate of the United States at Washington, with instructions to demand “in the most peremptory language, that official courtesy will allow ” their seats in that august body. More anon. This is, indeed, a most important movement on the part of the people of Coney Island, and no one can predict the results to which it may eventually lead. It cannot{be denied, however, that they are entitled to admission into the Union, as a State— equally so with New Mexico, Utah, and California. They have a tremendous population at the present time, not of gold seekers, like those of California, but of clam diggers, whose untiring energy in di ging into the bowels of the sand banks, in search of that delicious fish, might be well held up to the admiration of the Californians. If they have not gold mines, they have clam banks, abounding with “softs and hards.” They have splendid hotels, as well government mansion. They have forts and redoubts, in the shape of bath-houses, and a steam marine, of at least one hundred and fifty hn Smit State in horse power. With such means at their command, the people of the State of Coney Island are not to be trifled with. The question of the admission of new States is evidently becoming more difficult of solution than ever, and Congress will have their hands full before they adjourn. The Italian Opera. Last night the “Huguenots” attracted a very fash- jonable audience. A large proportion of those present were strangers now visiting the metropolis, and the remainder were principally Aabitués of the Astor Place entertainments. Never has the opera been more faithfully or energetically performed than on this oc- casion. The long, brilliant, first act was chiefly marked by Marini, whose song about the Pro- testants was highly applauded. Signore Vietti, though not very prompt in her time, was very satisfact. in the main portion of her vocaliza- tion; but Bosio, in the second We have never heard her to mors fairly commenced. The brilliancy and force of each ca- denza will long be remembered among hertriumphs. In the third act. the closing grand scena, between Steffan- oni and Bulvi produced a perfect tempest of appro- bation. They were called for twice at the close, and were liberally showered with bouquet Salvi was more than himself His “ terrible momento” was & grand climax of power ton highly ‘wrought specimen, of vocal music. The duet, also, gained vastly by Stet fanoni's wonderful and artistic skill. it, and, indeed, throughout all her scenes, uncommon energy and brillianey, and was warmly applauded. The fourth act, introdueing the trio between Marini, nd Steffanoni, was effectively rendered, and the stra and chorus added largely here, as they did ‘in every act, to the successful representation of the opera interesting. ppear as th and Arrace will be sustained by Vietti. This In’ [art will give an opportunity for the whole power of er contralto voice, and there will be much interest to hear the vocalists generally, in so grand an opera.

The publication, yesterday, in the Herald, t the time of the ¢ friends belonging to both bout the Chief's office. The friends of ——- felt confident that he could not be guilty of an: ception practised towards bis friend; and the friends of the re man were equally as anxious to ascertain the trut the whereabouts of Peterman. Accord- ingly, during yesterday, constable Sackman and officer Reed, aided by Mr. Hoeff, proprietor of the hotel at Wil- liamsburgh, Where Peterman was putting up, made a general search for the missing man, and elicited the following tacts, which led to the suspicion, and autho- rised the officer in making the arrest :—Peterman, it appears, was laboring under some fear of @ prosecu- tion, to come frem a young woman, who threatened to commence a suit against him for a breach of promise of parriage, and in consequence thereof, was, to use & common expression, “laying low,” and, therefore, kept out of public view as much as possible; but, dur- ecy, Peterman bwgan to drink considera- bly, and friends removed bim from the public house, and placed him to bourd at the Tremont Temperance Houte, in Broadway. Now, it seems another friend of Peterman, who was not aware of this secret under- anding, believed, because he could not find his where- oute, that some person had used some fowl means to- wards him, for the sake of his money, and when Kru- ger, who was known to be the intimate friend ot Peter- map, denied any knowledge of his whereabouts, sus- picion at once fell upon him as having acted in some way dishonestly. However, on the Investigation yos- terday. it wae clearly :hown that Mr. er was begs the ee ha b- Ldagnescoonstd — friends, as, on e officer making inquiry respecting Peterman, charging him with the murder, which Kruger, of course denied, but suffered himself to be arrested, in order to _—— his friend Peterman, believing that it erely k of the officer requesting him to pro- duce Peterm: thet, in fact it was Peterman the ofi- cer wanted to arrest, and that by arresting him, (Kra- ger) that he would become alarmed and forthwith con- — the officer to the hiding eof Peterman.

The stock market was not so buoyant to-day, and the closing prices of yesterday were not sustained. At the first board Erie Income Bonds declined 3¢ per ecnt; Farmers’ Loan Erie Railroad 34; Reading Railroad 2g. U. B. 6's advanced & per cent; Reading Mortgage Bonds %; Erie Bonds, new, 3; Harlem 3; NewHaven Railroad %. There was considerable activity in all stocks, particularly Government, Ohio 6's. Harlem, and Erie Railroad, Harlem advanced from the opening, and Erie fell off 3; from the opening. The market closed weak, and the fancies show indications ofanother collapse. The fact ie, the spirit ofspeculation exists only to « very limited extent, and is confiaed to those who make Wall street eperations » profession. Something more than an casy money market is necessary to keep prices for stocks possessing no intrinsic value, at the high points now ruling; and in the absence ot that element of speculation, the street brokers have to face things as they best can. It has thus fer been up hill work; and although the advance in prices has apparently been great, very few fancy stocks have changed hands, or rather have left the possession of original holders, at prices anything like thore now current. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasarer of this port, to-day, amounted to $20,048 74; payments, $1,288 026 66—balance, $2.116,420 84. The Commereial ik of Albany has declared a semi- annual dividend of five per cent. ‘The Mercentile Mutual Insurance Company have given notice that the certifieates of profits issued for the year 1845, with the accruing interest, will be paid on and after the 8th of July, at which time all interest thereon will cease. Three dred thousand dollars of the bonds of the Worcester Railroad Compaay were sold at auction in Boston, yesterday, at the following prices :—$10,000 at 6 per cent advance; 62,000 at 4 do. do.; $5,000 at 3% do. do.; $10,000 at 3% do. do.; $10,000 at 3 do, do.; $18,000 at 2% do. do.; 245,000 at 234 do, do.—Total, $300,000. ‘The sale was well attended, and the bidding quite spi- rited.

Marrachuretie..... Beript ... Bundries . . It will be seen by this statement that the dividends of the facturing companies compare favorably with those of the railroad companies, and if we may Judge by the per cent dividend declared, there is very little foundation for the croaking and complaints of dis:reee and ruin. ‘The Orleans Gas Light Company have deciared a dividend of five per cent payable atthe Farmers’ and Meebanics’ Bank, to the stockholders in Phila delphia, op and after the 1st of July next. ‘The Girard Life Insuranee Annuity and Traet Com. pany of Philadelphia, have declared « dividend of three per cent on the capital stock, clear of the State tox. payable on and after the 1st of July ensuing, The Mechanics’ Bank, of Philadelphia, gives notice o, |. an application intended to be made to the Legisietare | $ at its next session, for authority to inorease the tal stock two hundred thousand dollars, by broom © part of the eapital, which was reduced by an act of” April 8, 1843. The second annwal report of the Louisville aud Fronkfort Railroad Company, gives an accc unt of the ‘operations of, amd en the road, for the year ending June 3, 1850. Since the previous report, the city of Louisville has subscribed for 4,000 additional shares, for which the bonds of the city, payable in eight an- nual payments ef $25,000 each have been given, the: first peyable January, 1855, bearing six per cont inte- rest. These bonds were sold for $173,726 66, and pur- chased 3,500 tons of iron to complete the road to: Frankfort. ‘The whole amount of stock subseribed by the elty of Louisville, is 14,000 shares, at $50 each,—$700,000, In- dividuals have subscribed forfl,018 shares,—$50,900,— making the waole amount of stock $750,000. The city of Louisville has transferred to different individuals 5,618 shares of stock, leaving to the credit of the city 8,382—shares, $419,190, There bas been received from the city of Louisville, on sccount of stock first sub- scribed, $390,150 27; and for the sale of the bonds, $173,726 66; and from individuals, $22,111 35—making the total sum of $525.988,18—leaving due for stock sub- scription, $224,911.82, (less the discownt made on the city bonds sold, $26,273 44,) which sum will be collect- ed, or the greater part, during the next twelve months. ‘The last estimate for the completion of the road was $925,000, leaving $200.373 44—whieh sum it is expected’ will be raised by the sale of the bonds of the com- pany. The road has been in operation from Louisville to- La Grange, simce January last, and the reéeipts for freight and passengers have increased from $1,157 30, received in March, to $2,203 received in May. The grors receipts for the first five months of 1850, amount- ed to $5,781 58; expenses, $2,331 90; net earnings, $3,449 68. besides hauling out of irom and timber for the use of the road. When Frankfort is reached, and: the connection formed with the Lexington and Frank- fort road, as fixed by the charters of both eompanics, there is no doubt in the mind of the engineer that a. net dividend of 10% per cent on the eest of the road will be realised. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the net revenue of “the province of Canada, for the year 1849; also, sx why atract of the expenditure during the same period, ana» the state of the Consolidated Revenue Fund (em- bracing various items authorized under the act of the- management of the public debt), om the 31st January, 1850 :-— : Fivances or Canapa—Revenvs axp Exrenpitcne—1840.
