Nothing of importance was done in either House | of Congress, yesterday. Inthe Senate, Mr. Bell | spoke on the Omnibus bill; and in the House, there Was quite a tempest in a tea-pot, created by Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, whe, it appears, was charged by some letter-writers with having examined cer- ain papers on file in the Post Office Department, in relation to the appointment or removal of a cer- tain postmaster.in Ohio, and abstracting several of | them. Thus it was that the House spent the day; and if our readers desire farther information con- | eerning this tremendous business, we will refer | them te the telegraphic accouat of the proceedings, | another column. Napoleon, we believe, was the | author of the maxim, that there is but one step trom the sublime to the ridiculous. The House of | Representatives, we think, have verified it. Only | think of the representatives of the psople of this | country engaged one day in the discussion of a | great and mighty question, involving, perhaps, the | American Union; and on the next debating | whether the party who charged Mr. Giddings with abstracting those papers was guilty of abuse ef privilege or not, without knowing the writer mame. This is, truly, a great country, and no mis- take. If our private intelligence frem Washington be not of a more favorable character next week, we shall despair of the passage of the Compro- mise bill, and shall advocate the adjourn- ment of Congress. The late news from New Mexico, together with the resolutions passed in Delaware, seem to have seriously affected the prospect of its passage. In the mean time, we hear that the boundary difficulty between Texas and New Dlexico is assuming a more grave form—that the President has instructed Colonel Monroe to maintain the integrity of New Mexico—that some Southern whigs have remonstrated, and that Gelo- nel Neighbors is expected to arrive soon at Wash. ington, to learn the President's ultimate designs. We fear very much that this confounded boundary dispute will yet lead to more trouble and difficulty than will be ogreeable. Nothing definite has yet been done in the Gal- phin business. Condemnation of the cabiaet, how- ever, forj their iniquity to that business, cannot be far off, aud then the backward and thea the back- ward movement on their part, so impatiently lweked forward to by the friends of Genera, Taylor and the people generally, must take place. We have later news from Havana, but it does not differ in character from what we previously received. The American prisoners were still closely confined, and it is even said that threats to assas- | sinate the American Consul have beea made openly im the streets of that city. This is certainly a nice | piece of business No one ean tell to what it may lead. The demund for the release of the prisoners must huve been received before the date of our | last news, (the 27th of June,) but the peremptory demord which went eut by the Vixen will deeide | whether the connivance of the cabinet with the pirates vader Lopez will end in a war or aot. We shall toon know all sbout it. The wife and dunghters of Professor Webster, it | appears, had an interview with the Massachusetts Council yesterday. The opinion is that the late | eontercion will not have any effect in altering his | eeutence The Untted States—The Centre of the World. Recent events of a political churscter, acting wpen the geographical divisions of the globe, are tollot mevning. A picture of the political condi- won of the earth is as full of themes for etudy as one of the great allegorical paintings of Rubens, or the groterque and crowded panels of Hogarth. | We eennot, at « single glance, see the relations of the preseat to the dimmer background ef the future.

War, when it ap- pears in its most terrible form, is the creature of civilization; and by this course of events, to which we are daily tending, we may keep the werld in awe, and, consequently, at peace.

Thisis the inevitable destiny of our coun- uy, according to the uniform progress of events.— Let us not forget it. One thing, however, weighs heavily on every patriot’s mind, and taxes strongly the patience and the knowledge of the philosophical politician. Here are we on the threshold of that great future, which, once passed, may save the worid centuries of an- tagonism and bloodshed, and our whole advance- ment is but a kind of uncertain groping about in Tut Miusrary Disruay or tae Fousra.— What a gratifying sight it wes, on the Fourth, to see Irish, Scotch, English, French, Germans and Itetians, all bearing arms in companionship with native Americans, in honor of the day of ever- blessed memory! So beautifully and so surely do | our institutions mould the strangers within our gates into citizens, equally zealous with those born on the soil, to maintain the honor, and glory, and integrity of the republic. The turn-out of our citi- zen soldiers, on Independence Day, was brilliaat— the handsome uniforms of every variety and hue, their arms glittering in the sunbeams, their cannon and their war horses, the multitudes that accom panied them—all presented a tout ensemble that was | deeply interesting, und calculated to awaken the noblest emotions of the human heart. If there be one thing more than apother, of which this coun- try bas a right to feel proud, it is its citizen soldiery, who eerve the State without hire or reward, and are a better defence against invasion from abroad, than embattled walls or lines of forts. They are entitled to the respect and the admiration of all their fellow citizens. At great expense, much rifice, and no small individual exertion, these military companies are maintained, that every maa may ‘sit under his own vine and fig tree, none daring to make him afraid.” Terniete Accipents ar Sea.—Within the last few weeks, an immense number of human beings have been sent to the other world, by acc.dents to ships and steamers, in Europe as well as in Ame- rica. First, we heard of the loss of the steamer Adelaide, on her trip from Belfast to London, by which a great many people were destroyed; next of the horrible casualty caused by the burning of the Griffith, on Lake Erie; next, of the steamship Orion, off the coast of England, and lastly, we learn that several emigrant ships have perished by coming in contact with icebergs, off the coast of Nova Scotia. It isto be hoped thatthe dreadful list will not be augmented. Arrival of the Washington. ‘The Ocean Steam Navigation Company’s steamship Washington, Capt. G. W. Floyd, having on board the United States eontract mails from England, France, and the North ef Europe. arrived here on Thursday, after a fine passage of thirteen days from Southamp- ton. We are indebted to Mr. Abm. Adams, the gentle- manly clerk of the steamer, for the carly delivery of our packager. ‘The Washington lett Bremen on the 15th, after tak- ing on board a supply of coal and 280 tons of cargo, ‘and reached Southampton en the 17th, where she completed loading her cargo. by receiving the contents of three special steamers from Havre (the Atalanta, Ladyde Sanmarez, aud Wonder.) finally sailing from Southampton on the 20th uilt., for this city. The Washington brings one of the largest and most valuable cargoes of foreign merchandise ever imported into New York by a single steamer, It eomprises be- the dark. The detestable minions of party, the Galphins of this country, are risking, for their own personal aggrandisement, all that the future promi- ses of renown and glory, of prosperity and power, upon a simple, local, social question, which has norhing of value compared with that of the coun- try. It is precisely as if a father, displeased at the position of his uneducated servants, were to at- tempt a reform by cutting the throats of his children. This mangling of all our hopes, of our magnifi- cent destiny, by the political debauchees of the cab- inet, is the source of inexpreesible contempt, and of the positive detestation of those whoee intrigues continue euch villany. The cabinet, which are wresting all power trom the hands of the Presi- dent, ere like the seven vials of wrath poured out upon the land, to afflict, to curse, and final- ly to destroy it. Im the darkness, there is no | shadowy outline of hepe to cheer the sickening vision. Despair begins to mark the faces of men. The universal eemtiment is for a new organization of the government—for an adjournmeat of Con- gtees—or fora bold and instantaneous movement on the part of the President against the greedy Galphins, who are drawing away the life blood of his fame, at the same time that they putting in jeopardy the great interests of more than half the world. Qne hope only is left we—in the imme- diate dismissal of the present cabinet. The Presi- dent is pledged to listen to the -veice of the people, and that voiee distinctly declares that the slavery question cannot be settled while they are in office. They are thoroughly disgraced as the advisers of the Executive, and it is time for their exodus, Shall or shall it not take place? Apsournment oF Conoress.—Several move- ments have been recently made in Congress rela- tive to an adjournment of that body, but we hope that no motion of the kind will succeed, ui least, the reguler appropriations are made, and a vote be taken on the Compromise bill now before th In the present etate of the country, question, it would, in our opinioa, be highly impo- Intic to adjourn without taking a vote on it Let a | vote be taken as s00n as possible, and if it be found not be settled, let Congress | that the question ca) pase the appropriations, and them adjourn a4 soon | as they please. When they meet again in Decem- ber they may be less wanted than they are now— and, in addition w that, they will have an opportu- nity of seeing and -eonversing with their constitu- ents, and ascertaining the true state of public feel- | ing on this topic. Members of both houses have said all they have had to say oo the slavery ques hon, and their opinions were long since formed as to the way in which they would vete. The best method to adopt, therefore, is to bring the subject to & test, in «ome way or other, and if the matter cannot be settled, tet them adjouro, to meet agaia at the usual time in December. Ove Retations wirn Sraun—Withia three weeks from this time, aod probably soo we thall eecertain whether the connivance of the cabi- net at Washington, with the bead of armed pira who iwvaded the island of Caba, will cause any veromemt. Such coanivance can reasonably be inferred from the previous coaduet of that body, as well as frem the fect that it is entirely put out of the range ef prot” ‘lity te imagine that eo large an expeditioncould _ave been organized avithin the Lorted States, and not be brought toahe knowledge ofthe govermment..

A quantity of freight was left behind at Havre, and shipped by the steamer Camilla, for trapsit, by the Europa, from Liverpool. It does not appear, thus far, that the opposition of the Cunard company, on the Havre station has in any way damaged the interest of the Bremen and i | worth.

General Twiggs called at the White Hoase this | morning, but General Taylor was sick in bed The ory of war by Congress relative to the Galphia Export is very sore, and #0 is the House setion thereon. Still the Gulphins in the House are gaining strength. The cabinet are overshadowing the whig members, and indusing some of them not to ceasure the foul trans action. Several Southern whigs dislike to censure Mr. Crawford, because they count on his resigning and giving them aid in their contemplated and nearly ma tured move, of denouncing the President, as having deserted the country, and gone over to the North, Before mn days go by, you will see sights, Southero members of note declare this. I learn, from good authority, that General Taylor has sent special instruetions to Colonel Moaroe, to main- tain the integrity ot New Mexico against all hostile in- vaders, Indians or Texans. It appears some Southern whigs have gone up to the President to remoustrate, but he has told them he means to do his duty. Great indignation is felt by the Southern members in conse- quence. From remarks made in the Sena’ no doubt if Texas attempts @ mili! 44 occupation of Santa Fe, Col.

APPEARANCE OF HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTERS BEFORE THE COUNCIL. Boston, July 5—P. M. The wife and three daughters of Professor Webster appeared before the Council, this afternoon, and pleaded in aid of the petition of their husband and father, for a commutation of punishment. Mrs. Webster said that she had been unwavering in the belief of her husband’s innocence until he made his confession. She alse stated, that it was chiefly through her means and representations, that the pe- titien \for pardon and protestation of his innoce: was sent in. After their withdrawal, the Council sent for Dr. Put- nam, aud stated that they, having fe doubts on certain points in the confession, had consulted sepa- rately three eminent surgeons, and a document had been prepared tor him to communicate to Professor Webster. Before the document was read, the doors were closed; Dut it was understood that one of the questions pro- pounded was whether such @ stick as that described in the confession would give such s blow as would eause death in ten minutes? All three considered it would not. The other questions are rtated to have been anewered adverse to the confession. The opinion {s universally expressed that no com- mutation will be granted.
