We received nothing of consequence trom Washington last night by telegraph. The pro- ‘ovedings of the Senate yesterday, however, con- firm us in the opinion that a vote on the Compro- mi-e bill is close at hand. In fact, we expected « ‘What its fate would be decided yesterday. The warm weather, and Mr. Olay’s eloquence, are | ‘evident!y meking « strong impressien on the mem- ‘ers. From the tenor of the debates of yesterday, itis apparent that Senators are satisfied that the tame for action has arrived, and the sooner a vote ts teken the better. We should not, therefore, be surprised ifa final vote be taken on the important subject to-day. i To the House a variety of subjects were dis- ‘cussed, but the indications are that this body is awaiting the action of the Senate on the Com- promice bill before they do enything. According to present appeurunces we look foran early ad- journment of Congress. It would be well to settle the elavery agitation. Factionism has made the most of it, the wheels of government are partially stopped for want of money, and the country is sur- Yeited with slurms «bout the safety of the Union. The State Free s«heot System—Socialism vs. H Christianity A State Free School Convention was recently | held in Syrecuse, in this State, in which the de- | ‘betes that occurred were of a very important and | signifieant churacter. One of the objects of cer- | Wain persons connected with this movement, is, to abolixh all kinds of religious instruction in our free schools—to allow the minds of our youth to gfow to maturity, without having received any religious impression whatever, and to expand in the Juxuriance of infidelity. Such an undertaking is well culculated to arouse the attention of our citizens—to call for an investigation by all who dave the welfare of society at heart, and to ascer- fein, as econ as possibly, who are at the bottom of this extraordinary onslaught on Christianity, and who it is that desire to abolish religion from our Tree echools, so that our youth shall be brought ap tofidels in this civilized and christian country. We need not go far to ascertain who were the wirepullere, and who are now the advocates of this extraordinary attempt to bring up our children in the ways of infidelity, by abolishing all religious education in our free schools. It origiaated with the clique of socialists who are now ia our midst, and who have been, for years past, strainiag every nerve to convert this happy republic into another France, by reorganizing our institutions aecording ‘to their wild and impracticable notions, and over- turving the existing enlightened order of things in government, relivion, and society. As might have been expected, Horace Greeley, the Fourierite editor of the Tribune, had a hand ia the matter, and was one of the most coaspicuous actors im thie unblushing attempt to drive religious instruetion from our schools. As the exponent of the beauties of Fourierism and socialism, he at- tended the convention, and, with all the curious | eloquence of which he is master, he advocated the abolition of religious instruction in our free schools. The object of the movement is plain. It is to leave the youthful mind void of religion until it is capable of understanding the mysteries #f infidelity, of im- bibing the doctrines of socialism and Fourierism which wre propounded by the clique of foreiga and Dotive socislists who surround Greeley, through the columns of the Tribune, every day. Such is the plain meaning and object of this new socialist movement; end this glaring attempt to poison the minds of our youth ought to receive a rigid scrutiny from Christians of all deaominations. It je «lamentable fact, that, as it ix, our youth are ignorent enough of their religi duties and their religious responsibilities, notwithstanding that im- mense sums of money and the exertions of thou- wands of instructors are employed in their taition ; but, deprive them of the benefics whieh they reerive from the precepts that are instil ed into them in the free schools, and what can we expect? The socialists cannot bear the idea of the daily exercises of those schools being com- meneed or ended with prayer, or that the doctrines of Christianity, which are the basis of envilization and of the wonderful prosperity of the Unired States, ehould be inculcated in these semiaaries of lerrning or Tue Cost or Government —By a documen whieb hes just been issued from the office of th Comptroller of the eizy of New York, we leara that the expenses of onr municiptl government, for the year of our Lord 1850, will amount to the Taxarton iw New Yorx—Teemennovs Ivcrease | rum of three millions two handred and thirty | thousand one hundred und eighty dollars and for- | ty-seven cents, and that this sum hag beea assessed | on the revt and personxl praperty of our citizens | for thet purpose.

We had come ho es, that under Ye new charter, there would be a perceptible S#ninution in the taxation, and that our unfortursate citizens would not be com- pelled to submit ta, such drafts on their pockets as | they suffered wider previously. Tnstead, however, of there being a dithinution over last year, thee is poritively an inerease, and no small one eicher ; for it amovats to tke large sum of upwards of two hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars. The amount of tazation levied this year is $3,230,180 47, and the sum assessed last year was $3,005,762, the | Raitroap Scuemes—Retier to Broapwar.— | A coriespondent writes us tothe effvet, that da | our article of Sunday on the subject of railroads for the relief of Broadway, we were wronr etuting that the route of vehicles belonging weet side of the city, is through Cham> to Hud-on, end 60 up that street to pluces of destisation; ** because,” son street is so obstructed by Railroad, that nearly every up Broadway as fur as © off; thereby avoid’ wells that prove strengthens 0° * _@ the ers street the diff-reat gays he, * Had che Hudson River .

The trick is, however, too transparent to be successful in de- ceiving the tax-paying public. It is said that the assessment last year was at the rate.of $1 18 and thirty-two hundreths of a cent on each one hun dred dollars of real and personal estate, and that this year it is but $1 13 and seventy-five hundreths of acent, making a difierense in favor of the assess- ments of this year of four cents and fifty-seven hundreths. This is all very well as far as it goes, but it will be perceived, according to the Comptrol- ler’s statement, there is an iacreased assessed value of real and personal estate, amounting to nearly thirty millions of dollars.

It is said by those who Wish to build railroad: instead of opening more avenues, that the omni- busses block up the lower part of Broadway; but in this they reckon without their host, for there are only about four hundred and fifty of them in the city, and some of these—six lines of many stages each—do not run in Broadway at all| That street | is filled with all manner of vehicles; and if any person who is curious in such matters, will stand in Broadway, in front ef St. Paul’s Church, and take particular notice, he will find that, of ull kinds en wheela, one hundred an forty pass that point in aminute. Itis not possible, therefore, that four hundred omnibuses (the number is much less, ia which are three or four miles long, and some more, can choke Broadway, or obetruct it in the least. For instance, take a view of that street on the Fourth of July, or any other holiday, when there are no carts or private curnages of any description in it, but many more omnibuses thon on other days, and it will be seen that there is no*crowdiag or choking up of the carriage way then, but everything moves on as emoothly as though there were room enough for a hundred times the number. The remedy for the over-crowded condition of Broadway lies not in railroads, thcugh it may be that quite a nuinber of enterprising gentlemen would like to have the city fathers believe so, in erder that they—the enterprising geatlemen, not the city fathers—may make money by the exclu- sive and gratuitous use of the streets. No; the remedy is to be found in opening more thorough- fares; dnd if the work is commenced by extendiog Hudson street in a etraight line toa junction with Broadway, the jam will be broken, and that mighty thoroughfare will be relieved precisely the same as an apopletic man is revivified by blood-letting, Which of the public-spirited members of either branch of the Common Council will take the mat- ter in hand, and push it to a copsummutioa? Suipwreck or tHe Exizanetu.—In connection | with the late shipwreck of the ill-fated Elizabeth, on Fire Island, we are necessitated to mention oae circumstance, which tended, in a material degree, to aggravate the deplorable loss of so many valua- ble lives. The circumstance of which we cora- plain, is the shemefal negligence of those on shore, at the time the veseel stranded, and the insufficient provision of men by government, to act with cour- oge and promptitude in an emergency, such as the prevent one was. The fact that the Elizabeth, at the period when she run aground, was only a quarter of a mile dix tent from land, induced the passengers to cling to the wreck to the last extremity, in the anti that those on shore would every moment hasten to snatch them from their perilous situation. A considerable time having elapsed in fond expecta- tion, and se¢ing no sign of assistance, one of the crew took a life-preserver, which, we are autho- rized to affirm, was the property of Capt. Hasty, and not thatof Margaret Fuller, as it has been | erreneously stated, plunged with it into the sea and swam ashore in quest of wid. He found the life boat, but none to mun it, and he was unable to prevail upon any one of those who were standing on the beach, and who were generally fishermen, to venture with him into the sea, and was reluctaat- ly compelled to abandon bis generous design. Itia said, that had he succeeded in obtaining three men to accompany him, the noble sailor would hive Jaunched again to battle with the angry billows, notwithstanding the many bruises he had sustained, and the exhausted condition of his strength ; but he failed, and to have attempted it alone, would have been utter madness. Some time during the day, however, the life boat wan launched, when it wee of no avail, the vessel being broken in piec: and the passengers ha met with a watery grave, with the exeeption of Mre. Hasty, who committed hereelf to the waves on a plank, and thus reached the shore alive. Now, had the passengers been ignorant, that a life-bout wae stationed withia their reach, they would have imitated the example of Mra. Hasty ia clinging to planks, and there is not the smallest doubt bot that many would by these means have been saved; but knowing that assistance was so near at hand, they hesitated in committing them | elves to the waves, and remained on the vessel in | the expectation of instant relief, until ehe was reat asunder, and they swept into the be ling deep , [tis a melancholy covsideration to think, that aoae | of those on shore could have been induced by ine | tives of humanity, to take a boid step to rescue | their fellew men from the jaws of deeth. But the | foult does pot lie so much with these fishermen, as | with the government. On them recs the entre | responsibility, Is it not the climax of absurdity to have a life-bont without providing a bedy of men, stent, bold and intrepid, to man it, who would be competent for every emergency? It is an instance | of the most flagrant delinquency. It ito be ex- pected that government will tke cognizance of this fact, and by the adoption of speady aad satuta- Ty measures, endeavor to obvinte im farure the re- occurrence of uch a melancholy disaster.
